[[Image:Nero.jpg|thumb|right|Nero, a Whiscash from ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.]]
A Whiscash named [[Nero]] appeared in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]''.

Whiscash was the third Pokémon that [[Juan]] used for the second half of the [[Gym]] Battle in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]''. The Whiskers Pokémon was defeated by [[Ash's Swellow]].

It was to also appear in another episode called ''[[AG101 (unaired)|Shaking Island Battle!! {{tt|Dojoach|Barboach}} VS {{tt|Namazun|Whiscash}}!!]]''. However this episode was never aired due to the fact that it involved earthquakes which Japan had recently suffered.

* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: After hitting the button changing the Pokémon bumpers on the [[Ruby Field]] a set number of times, Whiscash will appear in the pool. Hitting the ball into Whiscash's mouth will transport the player to the {{p|Sealeo}} Bonus Field. In the unlikely event that the ball hits Whiscash from behind, it will get angry and start an {{m|earthquake}}.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Whiscash is a wise Pokémon that lives in the Whiscash Pond in [[Pokémon Square]]. Whiscash is the one who first tells everyone about the [[Curse of Ninetales|Ninetails legend]].

=Trivia=
==Origin==
Whiscash may be based upon a catfish.
===Name origin===
Whiscash's name is based on ''whisker'', referring to the long whiskers it has; the ''-cash'' part of its name is presumably an abbreviation of the word '''ca'''tfi'''sh'''. Its Japanese name is based on 鯰 ''[[wp:Namazu (Japanese mythology)|Namazu]]'', a [[wp:catfish|catfish]] in Japanese mythology which caused earthquakes.

==Mistakes and Glitches==
Apparantly in the games ''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl'' there is a small glitch, being that a trainer with the name of Swimmer Vincent on Route 220 has a male Whiscash at Lv. 29 even though the in-game mechanics don't allow for Barboach to evolve until Lv. 30 unless the player uses a cheating device.

MudkipNDS: /* Got your ID, Trade Please??? */

Pie I can give you a Piplup for your Turtwig egg but because I live far away we will have to trade using Wi-Fi (you know, the counter at the downnstairs area of the Pokemon Center?) and we have to be there at the EXACT same time. I live in Niagara Falls(USA) so I am in the Eastern Time Zone.
:Uh, yeah, that's the idea. Maybe this evening? My timezone is also EST. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 17:24, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Pie, are you around? I am going to go to Mcdonald's in a little while(I don't have Wi-Fi on my computer, so I have to do it the hard way...). June 2,2007
:... I need to start watching this page, huh. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 20:50, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
YES PLEASE! [[User:Gatogirl|Gatogirl]] 12:34, 6 June 2007

== Got your ID, Trade Please??? ==

Hey I'm willing to trade some of my Pokemon to you. I have a Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector so I can go on instantly. Let's negotiate, OK? Oh, and by the way, thanks in advance....'''IF''' we trade something.

Forgot to leave my signature above... [[User:MudkipNDS|themaestro2.0]] 02:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe. I've been a little crazy and stressed out lately... I really do need to update this offer page. Anyway. What are you looking to trade? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 04:48, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

:Dunno, was hoping to negotiate with you. I usually trade '''IF''' i find a good deal, like the one i did Monday: a Feebas for a Murkrow (I got the Feebas). I'll talk to you later after I defeat the Elite Four. But I '''REALLY''' don't want to catch an Azelf just so I can see all 150 Sinnoh Pokemon. Just a suggestion... [[User:MudkipNDS|themaestro2.0]] 01:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC) P.S. Friend Code '''2921 6431 3386'''

::And I really don't want to trade away my Azelf just so someone can get their National Dex. Except maybe a quick trade-tradeback. But even then I'm skeptical, since I don't see what's in it for me. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 04:38, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

:::Maybe I'll talk to you later. I'll just catch Azelf by myself. I'll talk to you '''AFTER''' I beat the Elite Four and catch Azelf. [[User:MudkipNDS|themaestro2.0]] 16:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC) Thanks anyways.

'''HOWEVER''' though, I just want a Shieldon. How about I trade you a Shieldon for a Cranidos? You know, since you have Pearl and I have Diamond? Just think of the matter for a moment, okay? [[User:MudkipNDS|themaestro2.0]] 16:17, 3 August 2007 (UTC) Thnx, by UndergroundDigger
:Sure. I've got a billion Armor Fossils, and a new Cranidos might be cool. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 17:57, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

::So when do you think we can trade? And if it's ok, can we have future talks on MY talk page? Don't forget my friend code: '''2921 6431 3386''' under '''Victor'''. [[User:MudkipNDS|themaestro2.0]] 23:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC) ROSETTA STONE = AWESOME!!!

Trainer ID number

2007-08-03T21:03:35Z

MudkipNDS: /* Special ID numbers */

[[Image:OT ID.png|thumb|This {{p|Charmander}}'s trainer's ID number is '''57760'''.]]
A [[Pokémon trainer]]'s '''ID number''' is a five-digit number that is assigned to a trainer when they begin their Pokémon journey. It is used, in conjunction with the [[Original trainer|trainer's name]], to identify whether or not the Pokémon is an [[outsider Pokémon]] by the [[games]].

==Special ID numbers==
Sometimes, there are special ID numbers assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize. Examples are below.
*02000 - Used for Pokémon won through completion of the [[Gym Leader Castle]] in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]], as well as several won in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
*????? - Used for Pokémon not yet hatched from their [[Pokémon egg|egg]]s. It will turn into the ID number of the trainer who hatches the Pokémon.
*20043 - Used for {{p|Jirachi}} obtained from the [[Pokémon Colosseum]] Bonus Disc. The number refers to the year (2004) and the month (March, the 3rd Month) that Pokémon Colosseum was released in the United States. These Jirachi also have an Original Trainer named '''WISHMKR''', referring to the title of the [[Jirachi: Wish Maker|sixth movie]].
*02005 - Used for {{p|Metang}} distributed at Pokémon Rocks America 2005 for trying out the test demo of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
*00010 - Used for Pokémon obtained at the Journey Across America Event that celebrated the tenth anniversary of Pokémon. It is also used by the give-away {{p|Deoxys}} at the Houston Space Center on March 10 through 19 of 2006. These Deoxys also have an OT named '''Space C'''.
*06930 - Used for {{p|Mew}} obtained at a [[wp:Toys "R" Us|Toys "R" Us]] event in September, 2006 throughout the United States. The number refers to the year (20'''06'''), the month (09), and the number of days in the month (30). These Mew also have an OT named '''MYSTRY''', referring to the title of the [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|eighth movie]].
*00273 - Used for Pokémon obtained at New York City's [[Pokémon Center]] (now Nintendo World). These Pokémon were obtainable through a special machine on the Center's second floor. Players could insert their FireRed, LeafGreen, Ruby, Sapphire, or Emerald cartridges into one of four GBA slots on the machine and receive a random Pokémon. Since there were several slots, each OT may be different; one example of an OT for one of these Pokémon is '''PCNYd''' - "Pokémon Center New York" and perhaps "slot d"; however, this has yet to be proven. It is also possible that the trainer IDs, then, were also different for each slot and its Pokémon.

==Hidden ID==
In the games, there exists a hidden ID number different to the one that is visible. When a Gameshark code is used so that the shown ID is identical of that of a present Pokémon like that shown above, it does not have the corresponding item despite the matching ID.

==Logo filename==

What is the file name of the Bulbapedia logo? I though it would be Wiki.png, as usual, but alas.. {{User:Jellochuu/s}} 21:15, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, what's the logo's file name? [[User:KFan II|KFan II]] 15:42, 11 October 2005 (CDT)

Anyone still care about this? It's "Bulbapedia_logo.png". --[[User:Marty|Marty]] 22:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

==Moves/Attacks?==

I've noticed that people have been saying both "moves" and "attacks" when refering to Pokémon attacks, what are we sticking with? I say attacks, I think that's the official name for them. Once we decide [[Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style]] should probably mention it. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think the actual name for moves is technique, but I referrenced move in one article, because that's how they are in the wiki... for example, I think there's a "Hydro Cannon (move)" article. -GreenGiant

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

R/B manual calls them both abilities and techniques. Fr/Lg manual says moves. The G/S manual calls them MOVEs. Okay I give up, we'll call them moves.... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Gold ☆ for you.--[[User:LucarioProf|LucarioProf]]

==Pokémon Template==

Is it ready yet? If not, why? What is missing, what needs tweaking? I want to start the Pokémon pages. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Featured Article==

Hijacked it to "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT" because I needed to address some things. I'll rever it next week, probably. If anyone modifies my announcement, except for spelling, expect a blocking. I'll remove it when it's ready to be removed. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Flavor text==

Whoever's putting "Flavor text" above the Pokédex data '''INSTEAD''' of the phrase "Pokédex data", please stop. I appreciate what you're doing by adding the Emerald Version data, but I can't go through and fix it all. Will the next person to edit these pages fix it back? Thanks much. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 7:37 PM EST, Jul 15 2005

==TCG pages==

If I'm not mistaken, I've just made the first TCG page on Bulbapedia. [[Spoink (EX Dragon 73)]]. Could someone make that into a template for the rest of the TCG pages and see if there's anything I could do to make it better? It's numbered like the red links on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s page. Thanks. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 11:32 AM EST; Jul 20 2005

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with {{P|Bulbasaur}}, for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
: {{P|Bulbasaur}} is now a Featured article on Wikipedia, in case you may be interested. [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]] 12:39, 12 March 2006 (CST)

== Movesets ==

Should we give mention to particular movesets of Pokémon or mention of certain Pokémon that are overpowered (Blissey, Skarmory, Dodrio, Snorlax, etc.)? - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 14:38, 11 September 2005 (CDT)

== Did You Know? ==

Actually, I believe in the Seafoam Islands episodes and a couple of others, Ash changes into summer clothes - a orange shirt and little swimtrunks.
:You can update it yourself: [[Template:Main Page/Did you know]] - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 20:02, 14 December 2005 (CST)
::It doesn't matter, since we need a new set anyway. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 11:09, 15 December 2005 (CST)

== Uploading... ==

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why is uploading disabled on Bulbapedia?
:Because uploading for both the Bulbapedia and Bulbanews is done on the Bulbagarden Archives - the Upload Media link on the side navigation should take you there. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia"? ==

Just out of curiosity, why is the Pokemon Wiki named Bulbapedia? Pikapedia sounds more like wiki, and Pikachu is the unfficial mascot for Pokemon, not to mention one that everyone knows. My seven year-old brother, who has never watched an episode in his life or played a game (obviously) knows what a Pikachu is. Just a question. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's because Bulbapedia was created with the help of Bulbagarden, another Pokémon web site. Don't quote me on that though, because I'm not 100% sure that's correct. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 04:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

::With the help of? It's part of [[Bulbagarden]]. Look up in the URL, bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net.

::Besides. Bulbasaur's #001 in the Pokédex, makes more sense than Pikachu in that regard. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, Bulbacast... It's a Bulbagarden project so it gets the "Bulba" prefix. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well that ''does'' make more sense. I didn't know about all the other "Bulba" stuff. Well in that case, never mind. But if it was just a stand-alone wikia, I still think "Pikapedia" would make more sense and sound better. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 14:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
:Pikapedia might to Nintendo, but that's because they overhype Pikachu. It's not even that good, even when evolved. Now Ampharos, that's a good Electric-type.

Hi there, I've noticed that lately that Bulbapedia pages have taken a while to load, so I looked up the speed on Alexa.com. It said the '''average''' time it took to load a page was 6.9 seconds.

(Of course it's not top priority.)Thanks! --[[User:Mudkiplover56|Mudkiplover56]] 00:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit ==

I spent about 45 minutes changing the list of Water type Pokemon into a convenient table as with most of the type articles. However, due to the loading times, my edit was, for some reason, lost. I tried going back but was unable to. I only managed to edit the list of pure Water-types, but spent most of that time editing the list of dual types, none of which went through. Currently only the pure Water types have been added into a table. This really irritates me because I was planning on table-afying the other type articles, but now I don't feel like literally wasting more time...will the server load ever go back to normal?

== ALAKAZAM A HACK? NO IT ISN'T!==

Listen up, people! Today I traded a baby Lv. 1 Turtwig for a Lv. 46 Alakazam, its nickname UpESP. I got it from a trainer named Bera, whose name was in suspicious red font. But here's the weird part! The Alakazam was caught with a Dusk Ball in Victory Road on Mar. 4, 2007!!! Reasons for this suspicion that '''UpESP''' is a hack is first, it was caught in Victory Road, but the real fact is that wild Alakazam don't exist, and you can only get an Alakazam through trading Kadabra. Second, the trainer is English, but the date caught was Mar. 4, 2007, a month before Pokemon Diamond and Pearl was released in America. I'll repeat the facts for you again: Caught at Lv. 46 in Victory Road on Mar. 4, 2007, by Trainer Bera, ID No. 45853, Nickname UpESP, and traded to me at Lv. 46. Sorry if I overreacted.

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with {{P|Bulbasaur}}, for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

Just out of curiosity, why is the Pokemon Wiki named Bulbapedia? Pikapedia sounds more like wiki, and Pikachu is the unfficial mascot for Pokemon, not to mention one that everyone knows. My seven year-old brother, who has never watched an episode in his life or played a game (obviously) knows what a Pikachu is. Just a question. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks much. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 7:37 PM EST, Jul 15 2005

==TCG pages==

If I'm not mistaken, I've just made the first TCG page on Bulbapedia. [[Spoink (EX Dragon 73)]]. Could someone make that into a template for the rest of the TCG pages and see if there's anything I could do to make it better? It's numbered like the red links on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s page. Thanks. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 11:32 AM EST; Jul 20 2005

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with {{P|Bulbasaur}}, for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
: {{P|Bulbasaur}} is now a Featured article on Wikipedia, in case you may be interested. [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]] 12:39, 12 March 2006 (CST)

== Movesets ==

Should we give mention to particular movesets of Pokémon or mention of certain Pokémon that are overpowered (Blissey, Skarmory, Dodrio, Snorlax, etc.)? - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 14:38, 11 September 2005 (CDT)

== Did You Know? ==

Actually, I believe in the Seafoam Islands episodes and a couple of others, Ash changes into summer clothes - a orange shirt and little swimtrunks.

== Uploading... ==

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why is uploading disabled on Bulbapedia?
:Because uploading for both the Bulbapedia and Bulbanews is done on the Bulbagarden Archives - the Upload Media link on the side navigation should take you there. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia"? ==

Just out of curiosity, why is the Pokemon Wiki named Bulbapedia? Pikapedia sounds more like wiki, and Pikachu is the unfficial mascot for Pokemon, not to mention one that everyone knows. My seven year-old brother, who has never watched an episode in his life or played a game (obviously) knows what a Pikachu is. Just a question. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's because Bulbapedia was created with the help of Bulbagarden, another Pokémon web site. Don't quote me on that though, because I'm not 100% sure that's correct. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 04:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

::With the help of? It's part of [[Bulbagarden]]. Look up in the URL, bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net.

::Besides. Bulbasaur's #001 in the Pokédex, makes more sense than Pikachu in that regard. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, Bulbacast... It's a Bulbagarden project so it gets the "Bulba" prefix. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well that ''does'' make more sense. I didn't know about all the other "Bulba" stuff. Well in that case, never mind. But if it was just a stand-alone wikia, I still think "Pikapedia" would make more sense and sound better. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 14:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
:Pikapedia might to Nintendo, but that's because they overhype Pikachu. It's not even that good, even when evolved. Now Ampharos, that's a good Electric-type. But if anything, if not Bulbapedia, it should be Poképedia. Not that I'm saying we should ever change it. I like Bulbapedia. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Loading Speed? ==

Hi there, I've noticed that lately that Bulbapedia pages have taken a while to load, so I looked up the speed on Alexa.com. It said the '''average''' time it took to load a page was 6.9 seconds. Is there some way to increase the speed (decrease the loading time)? If so would someone do it? (Of course it's not top priority.)Thanks! --[[User:Mudkiplover56|Mudkiplover56]] 00:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

:Yes. Please donate to the Bulbagarden server fund so that we can afford a faster server. This server is being pushed beyond its limits lately due to the increased traffic caused by the US release of DP. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit ==

I spent about 45 minutes changing the list of Water type Pokemon into a convenient table as with most of the type articles. However, due to the loading times, my edit was, for some reason, lost. I tried going back but was unable to. I only managed to edit the list of pure Water-types, but spent most of that time editing the list of dual types, none of which went through. Currently only the pure Water types have been added into a table. This really irritates me because I was planning on table-afying the other type articles, but now I don't feel like literally wasting more time...will the server load ever go back to normal? [[User:ShadowUltra|ShadowUltra]] 22:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully, in August when we get a new server. But to be realistic, most likely never. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

:You mean something like the ''Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit'' heading? It's very easy to do. All you do is type in the following: <nowiki>==TITLE GOES HERE==</nowiki> and you have your title. Of course, you'll probably want to replace TITLE GOES HERE with what your comment is actually about. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 20:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

== ALAKAZAM A HACK? ==

Listen up, people! Today I traded a baby Lv. 1 Turtwig for a Lv. 46 Alakazam, its nickname UpESP. I got it from a trainer named Bera, whose name was in suspicious red font. But here's the weird part! The Alakazam was caught with a Dusk Ball in Victory Road on Mar. 4, 2007!!! Reasons for this suspicion that '''UpESP''' is a hack is first, it was caught in Victory Road, but the real fact is that wild Alakazam don't exist, and you can only get an Alakazam through trading Kadabra. Second, the trainer is English, but the date caught was Mar. 4, 2007, a month before Pokemon Diamond and Pearl was released in America. I'll repeat the facts for you again: Caught at Lv. 46 in Victory Road on Mar. 4, 2007, by Trainer Bera, ID No. 45853, Nickname UpESP, and traded to me at Lv. 46. Sorry if I overreacted. Respond to me on my talk or under this message. Thank you. By the way, ignore the random message at the end. Not that funny...

A Small '''Plasma''' TV (Like the ones at the demo stations in stores) would be situated above the machine. Once you insert the Gen I or II Game Pak and Gen IV Game Card into the machine, you would turn on the machine and an option would appear (you would control the menu with a Gamecube controller [don't ask why...]) to transfer the Pokemon to your DS card. Say '''YES''' and the boxes from the Game Pak would appear. You would choose the Pokemon you want to transfer to your DS Card (same Pal Park rules APPLY!!!) and say '''YES''' two times. Once the machine has done its thing, the machine will turn off and you'd remove your game card and game pak. Once this is done, you'd take out your DS, insert the card, turn it on, bypass the screens, start your game, and go to pal park.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl''' are the first true Pokémon RPG games for the [[Nintendo DS]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006 and in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the player's starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].

=Plot=
At the start, the player sees a newscast about a sighting of a [[alternate color|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. They then head to their [[Pearl (game)|rival's]] house and go to [[Lake Verity]] with him to see if there are any similar Pokémon living in it. Once there, a {{p|Starly}} attacks. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{t|Flying}}-type. As is always the case, the rival takes the Pokémon that weakens the player's choice. The professor's assistant, who is the alternate-[[gender]] player character from the player, takes the remaining starter. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her running shoes and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon they chose to keep and a Pokédex.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and their leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version) begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} must be summoned and the player must catch or defeat the Legendary.
{{-}}

=Connectivity=
*Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing all 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
*Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per day per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of [[Route 221]] before transferring from another GBA game. Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred, therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.
*The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
*Using the GBA game as a [[dongle method|dongle]] instead, it becomes possible to capture Pokémon in the wild in Sinnoh that do not natively appear, though this may only happen after the [[National Dex]] is obtained.
*The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online.
*Diamond and Pearl feature Wi-Fi connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[GameCube]].
*Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want. The global trading system will then go through a multitude of trades with other trainers in order to get the desired Pokémon.
*Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger]]. By completing a special mission in Ranger, a Manaphy [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.
{{-}}

=Features=
The day-night system first appearing in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] returns, with the same three [[time]] periods, but better transitioning between them. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The [[Pokémon professor|regional Professor]]'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]] like the others, and he allows the player and his or her rival to keep the [[starter Pokémon]] they used against attacking wild Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|Thunderpunch}} is now [[Stat#Attack|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} turns into [[Stat#Special Attack|special]]. This has been highly controversial with fans of the series, as it is considered to be "wasting" some strong Pokémon from previous generations, such as {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, while other fans of the series hail this change as "more realistic".

Though it was reported that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this has been debunked. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

==Contests==
{{main|Pokémon Super Contest}}
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the Pokémon contests, now known as Super Contests.

Instead of making [[Pokéblock]]s with berries, berry-flavored muffins called [[Poffin]] are made. This is done in [[Hearthome City]], though not within the contest hall, instead it is done at the Poffin House, which is near the Pokémon Center in Hearthome. Using the DS's touchscreen, players must stir the Poffin as directed by arrows that appear.

The first round of the contests themselves is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on contest stats, Pokémon must be dressed up using [[accessories]] with the stylus within a time limit. Each particular contest will require different accessories, and higher ranks may require more to be put on the Pokémon.

The second round is a dancing round, using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (if the player's Pokémon is the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers.

The third round is very similar to the appeals round in Generation III, and the main, and indeed, only, difference is that there are three judges. A Pokémon will get more points if it is the only Pokémon to perform for a particular judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The crowd system is still in place, but this time, each judge has a different meter, making it both potentially risky and potentially rewarding to appeal to a judge that all of the other Pokémon are appealing to.

==New gyms==
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Pokémon Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own type affiliation. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Roark]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Gardenia]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Maylene]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Crasher Wake]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Fantina]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Byron]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Candice]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Volkner]] ({{t|Electric}}).

==Elite Four==
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. The Elite trainers are [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Bertha]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Flint (Elite Four)|Flint]] ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Lucian]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Cynthia]], who has Pokémon of mixed types.

==New Pokémon==
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

[[:Category:Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon]] continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the Fourth Generation. The ninth movie, ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[:Category:Version mascots|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

=Trivia=
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to [[wp:Internet meme|Internet memes]] and [[wp:chatspeak|chatspeak]]. One of the main translators, [[Douglas Dinsdale]], is a member of the [[wp:Something Awful|Something Awful Forums]], hence all the net lingo. There are also multiple references to the Something Awful website and community scattered throughout the game, such as one Pokémon trainer announcing "[[wp:My Tank is Fight|My Pokémon is Fight!]]". "Noob" is also used several times, "Owned" is said by a [[Team Galactic|Galactic]] grunt and [[Buck]], and ROFL is available as a speech option. Perhaps incidentally, [[Twinleaf Town]] shares its Japanese name with that of the original *chan imageboard, [[wp:Futaba Channel|2chan]].

Diamond and Pearl are also the first main series Pokémon games to not have their cartriges colored, unlike previous games, and the first games in which the lab of the region's [[Pokémon professor]] is not in the player's hometown.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Diamond and Pearl''' are the first true Pokémon RPG games for the [[Nintendo DS]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006 and in North America on April 22, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the player's starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].

=Plot=
At the start, the player sees a newscast about a sighting of a [[alternate color|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}. They then head to their [[Pearl (game)|rival's]] house and go to [[Lake Verity]] with him to see if there are any similar Pokémon living in it. Once there, a {{p|Starly}} attacks. Nearby is a briefcase containing [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the two choose from to fight off the {{t|Flying}}-type. As is always the case, the rival takes the Pokémon that weakens the player's choice. The professor's assistant, who is the alternate-[[gender]] player character from the player, takes the remaining starter. After the Starly is defeated, the two return to Twinleaf Town with [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her running shoes and then the player leaves for Sandgem Town to return the briefcase. After meeting Professor Rowan, he gives the player the Pokémon they chose to keep and a Pokédex.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and their leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} (depending on the version) begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} must be summoned and the player must catch or defeat the Legendary.
{{-}}

=Connectivity=
*Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing all 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon.
*Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per day per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of [[Route 221]] before transferring from another GBA game. Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred, therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.
*The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
*Using the GBA game as a [[dongle method|dongle]] instead, it becomes possible to capture Pokémon in the wild in Sinnoh that do not natively appear, though this may only happen after the [[National Dex]] is obtained.
*The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online.
*Diamond and Pearl feature Wi-Fi connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[GameCube]].
*Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, which allows trainers to search for any Pokémon they want. The global trading system will then go through a multitude of trades with other trainers in order to get the desired Pokémon.
*Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to [[Pokémon Ranger]]. By completing a special mission in Ranger, a Manaphy [[Pokémon egg|Egg]] can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.

=Trivia=
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl contain many references to [[wp:Internet meme|Internet memes]] and [[wp:chatspeak|chatspeak]]. One of the main translators, [[Douglas Dinsdale]], is a member of the [[wp:Something Awful|Something Awful Forums]], hence all the net lingo. There are also multiple references to the Something Awful website and community scattered throughout the game, such as one Pokémon trainer announcing "[[wp:My Tank is Fight|My Pokémon is Fight!]]". "Noob" is also used several times, "Owned" is said by a [[Team Galactic|Galactic]] grunt and [[Buck]], and ROFL is available as a speech option. Perhaps incidentally, [[Twinleaf Town]] shares its Japanese name with that of the original *chan imageboard, [[wp:Futaba Channel|2chan]].

Diamond and Pearl are also the first main series Pokémon games to not have their cartriges colored, unlike previous games, and the first games in which the lab of the region's [[Pokémon professor]] is not in the player's hometown.

Someone was theorizing about the name coming from XD in roman numerals being 490 which would be 104 new Pokémon, it's a pretty good theory imo but I don't know if it should be mentioned here. - [[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 23:49, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have roughly updated the page. I'm sure it's still incomplete, but this will be enough for now, I guess.

'''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンXD {{tt|闇|やみ}}の{{tt|旋風|カゼ}}ダーク・ルギア''', ''Pokémon XD: Whirlwinds of Darkness, Dark Lugia'') is [[Genius Sonority]]'s second Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The "XD" in the title stands for "eXtra Dimension."

The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of [[Pokémon Colosseum]]. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], a.k.a "XD001," which they believe is immune to purification.

These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Pokéspot and make the hero receive a false alarm that a wild Pokémon has appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the hero finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to take it back to her store, and she will offer the hero ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she'll allow the hero to play a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly_Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a usable Pokémon.

==Logo filename==

What is the file name of the Bulbapedia logo? I though it would be Wiki.png, as usual, but alas.. {{User:Jellochuu/s}} 21:15, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, what's the logo's file name? [[User:KFan II|KFan II]] 15:42, 11 October 2005 (CDT)

Anyone still care about this? It's "Bulbapedia_logo.png". --[[User:Marty|Marty]] 22:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

==Moves/Attacks?==

I've noticed that people have been saying both "moves" and "attacks" when refering to Pokémon attacks, what are we sticking with? I say attacks, I think that's the official name for them. Once we decide [[Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style]] should probably mention it. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think the actual name for moves is technique, but I referrenced move in one article, because that's how they are in the wiki... for example, I think there's a "Hydro Cannon (move)" article. -GreenGiant

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

R/B manual calls them both abilities and techniques. Fr/Lg manual says moves. The G/S manual calls them MOVEs. Okay I give up, we'll call them moves.... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Gold ☆ for you.--[[User:LucarioProf|LucarioProf]]

==Pokémon Template==

Is it ready yet? If not, why? What is missing, what needs tweaking? I want to start the Pokémon pages. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Featured Article==

Hijacked it to "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT" because I needed to address some things. I'll rever it next week, probably. If anyone modifies my announcement, except for spelling, expect a blocking. I'll remove it when it's ready to be removed. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Flavor text==

Whoever's putting "Flavor text" above the Pokédex data '''INSTEAD''' of the phrase "Pokédex data", please stop. I appreciate what you're doing by adding the Emerald Version data, but I can't go through and fix it all. Will the next person to edit these pages fix it back? Thanks much. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 7:37 PM EST, Jul 15 2005

==TCG pages==

If I'm not mistaken, I've just made the first TCG page on Bulbapedia. [[Spoink (EX Dragon 73)]]. Could someone make that into a template for the rest of the TCG pages and see if there's anything I could do to make it better? It's numbered like the red links on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s page. Thanks. --[[User:Doug_teh_H-Nut|Doug teh H-Nut]] 11:32 AM EST; Jul 20 2005

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with {{P|Bulbasaur}}, for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
: {{P|Bulbasaur}} is now a Featured article on Wikipedia, in case you may be interested. [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]] 12:39, 12 March 2006 (CST)

== Movesets ==

Should we give mention to particular movesets of Pokémon or mention of certain Pokémon that are overpowered (Blissey, Skarmory, Dodrio, Snorlax, etc.)? - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 14:38, 11 September 2005 (CDT)

== Did You Know? ==

Actually, I believe in the Seafoam Islands episodes and a couple of others, Ash changes into summer clothes - a orange shirt and little swimtrunks.

== Uploading... ==

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why is uploading disabled on Bulbapedia?
:Because uploading for both the Bulbapedia and Bulbanews is done on the Bulbagarden Archives - the Upload Media link on the side navigation should take you there. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia"? ==

Just out of curiosity, why is the Pokemon Wiki named Bulbapedia? Pikapedia sounds more like wiki, and Pikachu is the unfficial mascot for Pokemon, not to mention one that everyone knows. My seven year-old brother, who has never watched an episode in his life or played a game (obviously) knows what a Pikachu is. Just a question. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's because Bulbapedia was created with the help of Bulbagarden, another Pokémon web site. Don't quote me on that though, because I'm not 100% sure that's correct. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 04:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

::With the help of? It's part of [[Bulbagarden]]. Look up in the URL, bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net.

::Besides. Bulbasaur's #001 in the Pokédex, makes more sense than Pikachu in that regard. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, Bulbacast... It's a Bulbagarden project so it gets the "Bulba" prefix. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well that ''does'' make more sense. I didn't know about all the other "Bulba" stuff. Well in that case, never mind. But if it was just a stand-alone wikia, I still think "Pikapedia" would make more sense and sound better. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 14:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
:Pikapedia might to Nintendo, but that's because they overhype Pikachu. It's not even that good, even when evolved. Now Ampharos, that's a good Electric-type. But if anything, if not Bulbapedia, it should be Poképedia. Not that I'm saying we should ever change it. I like Bulbapedia. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Loading Speed? ==

Hi there, I've noticed that lately that Bulbapedia pages have taken a while to load, so I looked up the speed on Alexa.com. It said the '''average''' time it took to load a page was 6.9 seconds. Is there some way to increase the speed (decrease the loading time)? If so would someone do it? (Of course it's not top priority.)Thanks! --[[User:Mudkiplover56|Mudkiplover56]] 00:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

:Yes. Please donate to the Bulbagarden server fund so that we can afford a faster server. This server is being pushed beyond its limits lately due to the increased traffic caused by the US release of DP. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit ==

I spent about 45 minutes changing the list of Water type Pokemon into a convenient table as with most of the type articles. However, due to the loading times, my edit was, for some reason, lost. I tried going back but was unable to. I only managed to edit the list of pure Water-types, but spent most of that time editing the list of dual types, none of which went through. Currently only the pure Water types have been added into a table. This really irritates me because I was planning on table-afying the other type articles, but now I don't feel like literally wasting more time...will the server load ever go back to normal? [[User:ShadowUltra|ShadowUltra]] 22:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully, in August when we get a new server. But to be realistic, most likely never. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

hey there should be something about technology, like vehicles, robots, that sort of stuff in the pokemon series.--[[User:Jon mew|Jon mew]] 13:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

hey how do you put a title on these pages.--[[User:Jon mew|Jon mew]] 13:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:You mean something like the ''Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit'' heading? It's very easy to do. All you do is type in the following: <nowiki>==TITLE GOES HERE==</nowiki> and you have your title. Of course, you'll probably want to replace TITLE GOES HERE with what your comment is actually about. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 20:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:Eh, well, if it is a hat, it's a really, really weird one... after all, it seems to be more like hair. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:02, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm new to Bulbapedia and would really like to contribute, but I'm having trouble creating links to other Bulbapedia pages.

== The Card Game project ==

Hey, I was wondering a few things about the Pokémon Trading Card Game project. See, I don't really think we need to sort the cards in the category by the card number. I've been doing my best to avoid them, you see. See, I've been thinking through the aspects of the project for a while now, and I think that it would be a lot easier to make it work if we avoided using the numbers. I believe I have spoken on this before, but using the numbers would make it a lot harder to keep everything from English and Japanese together.

On another note, thanks for making all of those categories for Pokémon in the TCG. Actually, I was thinking of another idea to further categorize them by Pokémon and by name (for such cards as Blaine's Vulpix), but I thought that it might make too many tiny categories. What do you think about categories for specifically named Pokémon, Trainer Cards, and Energy Cards? I'm thinking of having Trainer Cards and the like have separate articles for the Trainer Card's name and prints of the card. So there would be, say, "Bill (TCG)" and "Bill (Base Set)." If a card said something along the lines of "Search your deck for a card named Bill," it would link to "Bill (TCG)," which would list all cards with that name. What do you think of all of this? -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 02:26, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:We can find alternatives for the Japanese-only cards, sort them into categories with *'s instead of numbers. But overall, given all the other naming and sorting options, the number system is the best one I've seen that makes any sense and is closest to being universal. I really don't think many people distinguish these cards using the levels written on them, you know? So why should we?
:I think that might make the categories too small, yes. As far as trainer cards... that's a difficult one. On one hand, we should disambig between any cards with the same name and different text... but not reprints of the same card, like every card in Base Set 2... so I do think we should have trainer cards noted by set. But at the same time, if there's only one version of a card ever - there's no reason for a disambig. Like, for example, if besides reprints there's only one Bill (Base Set), Bill (TCG) should just redirect to that.
:Most other people have given up on trying to organize the TCG articles - I believe Zhen confirmed to me that he has over AIM - and I'm one of the few who's still trying to work this out regardless of the giant headache it's giving me. So sorry if I get a little snippy about this, but this really is the most annoying section of the Bulbapedia to organize ever. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 03:16, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

::Eh, I just prefer the idea of having two set lists in the article on the set and having the category for the set just be organized by alphabetical order. Besides, people usually don't refer to cards by anything but the card's name and set anyway. See, between δ Delta Species Pokémon and the new Pokémon LV.X in the DP series, it seems more convenient to use levels and other universal identification in a particular series. Also, Pokémon Card GB referred to different cards of a Pokémon by their levels.

::Really, I have about all of the TCG organization planned out. Level for original series, e-card ID for e-card series. In the advance series, the only cards that have the same name in the same set are cards that were from Japanese decks that were merged into an English set. Oh, and things like Unown. The DP series brings back levels and introduces a new game mechanic based on them. This organization method is based on universalness. It also helps to better organize cards that switch around from set to set from Japanese to English. As for Base Set 2 and Legendary Collection, since they're total reprint sets, I'm not planning on having separate articles for cards reprinted there. I do plan on having articles for other reprints of cards though. Things a reprint of Potion in some set would get a separate article.

::The only thing that I haven't been completely sure of is making separate articles for Trainer cards that only get one print as the main article for the card and for its print in a set. I guess that if there's only one print, it could be a redirect... Then again, things like [[TM06]] get their own articles... I'm not too sure on this issue. I have most everything else planned out. I guess it's just a matter of getting everyone to agree now. I really believe that this project can work. -[[User:Happy Mask Man|Happy Mask Man]] 04:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
:::Fine. Whatever. I really don't even care anymore. I've been working my butt off trying to find some way to organize that section - I should be glad someone else is taking it on. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 04:34, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I guess someone as technical as you already knows this, but here's a shorter shortcut to "é" you can recommend to other editors: '''ALT+130''' (maybe yours is more correct because of the amount of digits and all that... :S). Also I wonder if there's a way to insert them in Bulbapedia edit fields via a button combination of ALT and some other letter for example. I notice the Manual of Style has a section about "é and other characters", but it doesn't advise how to input them (character palette, ALT, etc.). --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 17:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I think the actual name for moves is technique, but I referrenced move in one article, because that's how they are in the wiki... for example, I think there's a "Hydro Cannon (move)" article. -GreenGiant

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia"? ==

Just out of curiosity, why is the Pokemon Wiki named Bulbapedia? Pikapedia sounds more like wiki, and Pikachu is the unfficial mascot for Pokemon, not to mention one that everyone knows. My seven year-old brother, who has never watched an episode in his life or played a game (obviously) knows what a Pikachu is. Just a question. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's because Bulbapedia was created with the help of Bulbagarden, another Pokémon web site. Don't quote me on that though, because I'm not 100% sure that's correct. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 04:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

::With the help of? It's part of [[Bulbagarden]]. Look up in the URL, bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net.

::Besides. Bulbasaur's #001 in the Pokédex, makes more sense than Pikachu in that regard. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

:::Bulbapedia, Bulbanews, Bulbacast... It's a Bulbagarden project so it gets the "Bulba" prefix. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 15:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well that ''does'' make more sense. I didn't know about all the other "Bulba" stuff. Well in that case, never mind. But if it was just a stand-alone wikia, I still think "Pikapedia" would make more sense and sound better. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 14:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
:Pikapedia might to Nintendo, but that's because they overhype Pikachu. It's not even that good, even when evolved. Now Ampharos, that's a good Electric-type. But if anything, if not Bulbapedia, it should be Poképedia. Not that I'm saying we should ever change it. I like Bulbapedia. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Loading Speed? ==

Hi there, I've noticed that lately that Bulbapedia pages have taken a while to load, so I looked up the speed on Alexa.com. It said the '''average''' time it took to load a page was 6.9 seconds. Is there some way to increase the speed (decrease the loading time)? If so would someone do it? (Of course it's not top priority.)Thanks! --[[User:Mudkiplover56|Mudkiplover56]] 00:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit ==

I spent about 45 minutes changing the list of Water type Pokemon into a convenient table as with most of the type articles. However, due to the loading times, my edit was, for some reason, lost. I tried going back but was unable to. I only managed to edit the list of pure Water-types, but spent most of that time editing the list of dual types, none of which went through. Currently only the pure Water types have been added into a table. This really irritates me because I was planning on table-afying the other type articles, but now I don't feel like literally wasting more time...will the server load ever go back to normal?

==Moves/Attacks?==

I've noticed that people have been saying both "moves" and "attacks" when refering to Pokémon attacks, what are we sticking with? I say attacks, I think that's the official name for them. Once we decide [[Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style]] should probably mention it. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think the actual name for moves is technique, but I referrenced move in one article, because that's how they are in the wiki... for example, I think there's a "Hydro Cannon (move)" article. -GreenGiant

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

R/B manual calls them both abilities and techniques. Fr/Lg manual says moves. The G/S manual calls them MOVEs. Okay I give up, we'll call them moves.... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

If I'm not mistaken, I've just made the first TCG page on Bulbapedia. [[Spoink (EX Dragon 73)]].

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' is the first [[Pokémon]] game on Nintendo's [[Wii]] console. It will support connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing trainers to battle using their [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond or Pearl]] Pokémon while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new land named Pokétopia. Other announced features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customise their [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customise their characters with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. And, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customise your trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Battle Pass; however, if Pokémon Diamond or Pearl is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get an [[Original Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one Pokémon attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. However, it's assumed that the same style of gameplay as the older games will be used for slower Pokémon and/or moves to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes both opposing Pokémon is performed, it hits both of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100 trainer battle when you complete it for the first time.

==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a Colosseum Leader or Colosseum Master. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Water Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16 person tournament mode. Only the Gateway Colosseum is open to a rental pass holder. After beating all the Colosseums once, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a held {{i|Light Ball}} (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Lv 30 free and Lv 50 all) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the trainers become stronger and the pokécoupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders will even begin to use Legendary Pokémon.

*[[Gateway Colosseum]] (led by Master [[Joe (PBR)|Joe]]; focus is "rental battles" later becomes "trade battles")
*[[Main Street Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Taylor]]; focus is "knockout battles")
*[[Waterfall Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Marina (PBR)|Marina]]; focus is "team battles")
*[[Neon Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Rosie]]; focus is "fortune battles")
*[[Crystal Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Voldon]]; focus is elimination tournaments)
*[[Sunny Park Colosseum]] (led by Master [[Sashay]]; focus is "knockout battles")
*[[Magma Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Terrell]]; focus is "challenge battles")
*[[Sunset Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Dusty]]; focus is "select battles")
*[[Courtyard Colosseum]] (led by Master [[Kruger]]; focus is "knockout battles", later becomes "survival battles")
*[[Stargazer Colosseum]] (led by Pokétopia Master [[Mysterial]] later becomes "masters cup")
*[[Lagoon Colosseum]] (exclusive to DS multiplayer and Wi-Fi battles)

==Online functionality==
Battle Revolution is the first Wii and Pokémon home console title to go online. It uses its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii's code. This has received widespread controversy, because the use of a Wii Number was believed to eliminate the need to have a friend code for each online game, as with DS Wi-Fi games. It is not currently known if all future online games will use friend codes, or whether PBR is an exception, due to its connectivity to Diamond and Pearl, which use friend codes.

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, trainers with [[legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting a fair amount of controversy as to why [[Nintendo]] was not using official Nintendo tournament rules, which ban legendary Pokémon, on their service. However, on July 3, 2007, legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade Station#Legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occured on the same date regarding [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|two other games]]. The banning of these Pokémon has received a large amount of controversy from the community. A Nintendo representative later stated [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640] that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

==Development and history==
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu, normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1 on 1 tournament, much like the [[Battle Frontier]]'s Battle Dome in [[Pokémon Emerald]].

==Reception==
Unfortunately for Nintendo, Pokémon Battle Revolution has received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews. [[wp:IGN|IGN]] has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website cited, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as [[Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably being the [[wp:role-playing game|RPG]] mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. [[wp:Gamespot|Gamespot]] gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons for this were the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. [[wp:Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power]] gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the gave has an average of 59% of 10 reviews on [[wp:Game Rankings|Game Rankings]].

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' is the first [[Pokémon]] game on Nintendo's [[Wii]] console. It will support connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing trainers to battle using their [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Diamond or Pearl]] Pokémon while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new land named Pokétopia. Other announced features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customise their [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customise their characters with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. And, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customise your trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Battle Pass; however, if Pokémon Diamond or Pearl is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get an [[Original Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one Pokémon attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. However, it's assumed that the same style of gameplay as the older games will be used for slower Pokémon and/or moves to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes both opposing Pokémon is performed, it hits both of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100 trainer battle when you complete it for the first time.

==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a Colosseum Leader or Colosseum Master. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Water Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16 person tournament mode. Only the Gateway Colosseum is open to a rental pass holder. After beating all the Colosseums once, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a held {{i|Light Ball}} (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Lv 30 free and Lv 50 all) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the trainers become stronger and the pokécoupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders will even begin to use Legendary Pokémon.

*[[Gateway Colosseum]] (led by Master [[Joe (PBR)|Joe]]; focus is "rental battles" later becomes "trade battles")
*[[Main Street Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Taylor]]; focus is "knockout battles")
*[[Waterfall Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Marina (PBR)|Marina]]; focus is "team battles")
*[[Neon Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Rosie]]; focus is "fortune battles")
*[[Crystal Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Voldon]]; focus is elimination tournaments)
*[[Sunny Park Colosseum]] (led by Master [[Sashay]]; focus is "knockout battles")
*[[Magma Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Terrell]]; focus is "challenge battles")
*[[Sunset Colosseum]] (led by Leader [[Dusty]]; focus is "select battles")
*[[Courtyard Colosseum]] (led by Master [[Kruger]]; focus is "knockout battles", later becomes "survival battles")
*[[Stargazer Colosseum]] (led by Pokétopia Master [[Mysterial]] later becomes "masters cup")
*[[Lagoon Colosseum]] (exclusive to DS multiplayer and Wi-Fi battles)

==Online functionality==
Battle Revolution is the first Wii and Pokémon home console title to go online. It uses its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii's code. This has received widespread controversy, because the use of a Wii Number was believed to eliminate the need to have a friend code for each online game, as with DS Wi-Fi games. It is not currently known if all future online games will use friend codes, or whether PBR is an exception, due to its connectivity to Diamond and Pearl, which use friend codes.

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, trainers with [[legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting a fair amount of controversy as to why [[Nintendo]] was not using official Nintendo tournament rules, which ban legendary Pokémon, on their service. However, on July 3, 2007, legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade Station#Legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occured on the same date regarding [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|two other games]]. The banning of these Pokémon has received a large amount of controversy from the community. A Nintendo representative later stated [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640] that the ban was a technical difficulty.

'''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''戦慄のミラージュポケモン''' ''The Terrifying Mirage Pokémon'') is a special episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in USA on April 29, 2006, and was broadcast as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13 to October 31, 2006.

Many fans believe the special to be testing ground for new voice actors ''(See [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy]])'', but [[Pokémon USA]]'s response is the company wanted to give a special to American fans.

In the special, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Professor Oak]] are invited to the mansion of [[Dr. Yung]], a Pokémon scientist who has developed a machine to create Pokémon. However, he is kidnapped by a mysterious stranger who wishes to use the system to produce Pokémon with absolutely no weaknesses, and is enraged by the sudden presence of {{p|Mew}}...
{{spoilers}}
=Synopsis=
Ash is rereading his letter, inviting him to Dr. Yung's lab, to Brock, May, and Max. When he gets there, he is shocked to see Misty and Professor Oak. Dr. Yung appears, and shows them a few [[mirage Pokémon]]. He invites Misty to battle one. Misty pits her Staryu against a mirage Aggron. She is shocked that Staryu's most powerful attacks don't even make it blink. Staryu goes out quickly. Ash begins to battle when the Armaldo suddenly locks up. Yung's Mirage Pokémon System has mysteriously locked up! The controller explodes in his hands, and a handful of legendary Pokémon appear. A stranger, calling himself ''[[Mirage Master]]'', uses the system he has just hijacked to his advantage, kidnapping Professor Oak and Dr. Yung. Ash and company cannot get back inside because a bunch of mirage Pokémon stand just inside.

Oak, in the custody of Mirage Master, demands to know where Dr. Yung is. Mirage Master ignores his query, and demands the password to Professor Oak's research lab. Oak refuses. A Mew flies in. Professor Oak is greeting it when Mew is attacked. The Professor demands to know why Mirage Master did that. The Mirage Master says that Mew was a failed creation, and he tells Mew to leave.

Ash, Misty, Brock, May, and Max formulate a plan. Ash and Misty will sneak in through the moat, Brock will alert Officer Jenny (with the intention of receiving a candlelight dinner for two), and May and Max will wait in case Ash and Misty get in trouble. They split up. Ash and Misty use Corphish and Staryu to get in.

[[Team Rocket]], after the Mirage System Plans, are looking around. They attempt to burst through a door, only to have it hit them in the noses! Ash and Misty walk through, Team Rocket does the motto, thereby wasting enough time for Mirage Master to check the camera. Team Rocket escapes, Ash, Misty, and Pikachu are held by two mirage Machamp and a mirage Ursaring. As the three are being carried, Ash sees Mew appear again, and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder}}. Some various things are blown up, including a wall, signaling to May and Max. May goes in, and tells Max to wait. Pikachu frees all of them, Misty falls over the edge of the bridge, and Pikachu is recaptured, leaving Ash and Mew. Mew is suddenly trapped by a force field, and Ash manages to get Mew free. Ash discovers that Mew is a mirage Pokémon.

Pikachu is in a fearsome-looking device. Professor Oak asks what the Mirage Master is doing. Mirage Master says he will extract Pokémon data from Pikachu's memory, and that this would not be needed if Oak was cooperative. Pikachu contorts with pain. He looks at the picture. Lugia... Entei... Celebi... Latios... Latias... These are all rare Pokémon Pikachu has seen. Oak cannot stand the look of Pikachu, and enters in the password: REDGREEN. Suddenly, Mirage Master has the ability to download information from places around the world. Tracey, Professors Elm, and Birch stare at computers in their labs, while Nurse Joy deals with problems at the [[Pokémon Center]].

"You have to believe me, Officer!" Brock pleads to Officer Jenny. "We need to go to Professor Yung's lab for a candlelight dinner... I mean-" Nurse Joy flickers onto the officer's computer. She tells the officer that someone is downloading massive amounts of Pokémon data. Brock tells her about Mirage Master, and they leave.

Misty is hanging on a bridge. She suddenly loses her grip, and May appears in the nick of time to save her. They go upstairs. Ash and Mew are there already, and the process of creating the Pokémon finishes in a flash of light. A mirage Mewtwo emerges. He attacks them, and they run. Outside of the boundaries of the Mirage System, the heroes think they are safe... A halo of missiles launch from the towers, and they expand the system! Mewtwo and Mirage Master emerge. Mirage Entei, Articuno, and Zapdos suddenly appear. Oak correctly guesses the identity of the Mirage Master. Mirage Master removes his mask, revealing Dr. Yung! Oak reveals that when Mirage Master first appeared, he was a hologram, and that Yung was expelled from the Pokémon Institute for his research, deemed disrespectful to Pokémon. Yung's Mewtwo and Ash and company battle. Yung is about to obliterate Pikachu when Mew takes the blow. Mew then is absorbed into the Mirage System. Yung says "good riddance," and Mewtwo absorbs the entire Mirage System database. Ash is enraged that Mew is called a failed creation, and the attack begins anew.

Team Rocket is blown away in this fight. Pikachu is about to be killed when Mew holds Mewtwo back! Ash orders Pikachu to perform {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Mewtwo is destroyed, as are Mew and the System. The fortress is now aflame, and Yung retreats inside. The police are looking, as are firefighters, but they cannot find him yet.

* All the music used in the special was originally used in the Japanese movies and series. 4Kids mostly used its own, American-composed music for the series.
* The scenes of Pikachu's memories of Lugia, Entei, Celebi, Latias, and Latios, came from their respective movie appearances.

'''The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''戦慄のミラージュポケモン''' ''The Terrifying Mirage Pokémon'') is a special episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in USA on April 29, 2006, and was broadcast as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13 to October 31, 2006.

Many fans believe the special to be testing ground for new voice actors ''(See [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy]])'', but [[Pokémon USA]]'s response is the company wanted to give a special to American fans.

In the special, [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Professor Oak]] are invited to the mansion of [[Dr. Yung]], a Pokémon scientist who has developed a machine to create Pokémon. However, he is kidnapped by a mysterious stranger who wishes to use the system to produce Pokémon with absolutely no weaknesses, and is enraged by the sudden presence of {{p|Mew}}...
{{spoilers}}
=Synopsis=
Ash is rereading his letter, inviting him to Dr. Yung's lab, to Brock, May, and Max. When he gets there, he is shocked to see Misty and Professor Oak. Dr. Yung appears, and shows them a few [[mirage Pokémon]]. He invites Misty to battle one. Misty pits her Staryu against a mirage Aggron. She is shocked that Staryu's most powerful attacks don't even make it blink. Staryu goes out quickly. Ash begins to battle when the Armaldo suddenly locks up. Yung's Mirage Pokémon System has mysteriously locked up! The controller explodes in his hands, and a handful of legendary Pokémon appear. A stranger, calling himself ''[[Mirage Master]]'', uses the system he has just hijacked to his advantage, kidnapping Professor Oak and Dr. Yung. Ash and company cannot get back inside because a bunch of mirage Pokémon stand just inside.

Oak, in the custody of Mirage Master, demands to know where Dr. Yung is. Mirage Master ignores his query, and demands the password to Professor Oak's research lab. Oak refuses. A Mew flies in. Professor Oak is greeting it when Mew is attacked. The Professor demands to know why Mirage Master did that. The Mirage Master says that Mew was a failed creation, and he tells Mew to leave.

Ash, Misty, Brock, May, and Max formulate a plan. Ash and Misty will sneak in through the moat, Brock will alert Officer Jenny (with the intention of receiving a candlelight dinner for two), and May and Max will wait in case Ash and Misty get in trouble. They split up. Ash and Misty use Corphish and Staryu to get in.

[[Team Rocket]], after the Mirage System Plans, are looking around. They attempt to burst through a door, only to have it hit them in the noses! Ash and Misty walk through, Team Rocket does the motto, thereby wasting enough time for Mirage Master to check the camera. Team Rocket escapes, Ash, Misty, and Pikachu are held by two mirage Machamp and a mirage Ursaring. As the three are being carried, Ash sees Mew appear again, and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunder}}. Some various things are blown up, including a wall, signaling to May and Max. May goes in, and tells Max to wait. Pikachu frees all of them, Misty falls over the edge of the bridge, and Pikachu is recaptured, leaving Ash and Mew. Mew is suddenly trapped by a force field, and Ash manages to get Mew free. Ash discovers that Mew is a mirage Pokémon.

Pikachu is in a fearsome-looking device. Professor Oak asks what the Mirage Master is doing. Mirage Master says he will extract Pokémon data from Pikachu's memory, and that this would not be needed if Oak was cooperative. Pikachu contorts with pain. He looks at the picture. Lugia... Entei... Celebi... Latios... Latias... These are all rare Pokémon Pikachu has seen. Oak cannot stand the look of Pikachu, and enters in the password: REDGREEN. Suddenly, Mirage Master has the ability to download information from places around the world. Tracey, Professors Elm, and Birch stare at computers in their labs, while Nurse Joy deals with problems at the [[Pokémon Center]].

"You have to believe me, Officer!" Brock pleads to Officer Jenny. "We need to go to Professor Yung's lab for a candlelight dinner... I mean-" Nurse Joy flickers onto the officer's computer. She tells the officer that someone is downloading massive amounts of Pokémon data. Brock tells her about Mirage Master, and they leave.

Misty is hanging on a bridge. She suddenly loses her grip, and May appears in the nick of time to save her. They go upstairs. Ash and Mew are there already, and the process of creating the Pokémon finishes in a flash of light. A mirage Mewtwo emerges. He attacks them, and they run. Outside of the boundaries of the Mirage System, the heroes think they are safe... A halo of missiles launch from the towers, and they expand the system! Mewtwo and Mirage Master emerge. Mirage Entei, Articuno, and Zapdos suddenly appear. Oak correctly guesses the identity of the Mirage Master. Mirage Master removes his mask, revealing Dr. Yung! Oak reveals that when Mirage Master first appeared, he was a hologram, and that Yung was expelled from the Pokémon Institute for his research, deemed disrespectful to Pokémon. Yung's Mewtwo and Ash and company battle. Yung is about to obliterate Pikachu when Mew takes the blow. Mew then is absorbed into the Mirage System. Yung says "good riddance," and Mewtwo absorbs the entire Mirage System database. Ash is enraged that Mew is called a failed creation, and the attack begins anew.

Team Rocket is blown away in this fight. Pikachu is about to be killed when Mew holds Mewtwo back! Ash orders Pikachu to perform {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Mewtwo is destroyed, as are Mew and the System. The fortress is now aflame, and Yung retreats inside. The police are looking, as are firefighters, but they cannot find him yet.

=Trivia=
* [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Misty's Staryu]], [[Misty's Gyarados]], Professor Oak's {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, and {{p|Entei}} kept their Japanese voices.
* All the music used in the special was originally used in the Japanese movies and series. 4Kids mostly used its own, American-composed music for the series.
* The scenes of Pikachu's memories of Lugia, Entei, Celebi, Latias, and Latios, came from their respective movie appearances.
** Lugia: [[The Power of One|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]
** Entei: [[Spell of the Unown|Pokémon 3 - the Movie]]
** Celebi: [[Pokémon 4Ever]]
** Latios and Latias: [[Pokémon Heroes]]
* The copyright notice on the Japanese version reads ''© 2006 Pokémon USA, Inc./ShoPro. © 2006 Pokémon. © 1995 - 2006 Nintendo / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc.'' A number of the US production credits were also included.
* The password for Oak's lab, REDGREEN, is a reference to the original pair of Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Green]].
==Errors==
So far no errors have been noticed in this special.

== Dub edits ==
* A redubbed version, with the newer voices and the others improved, is included on the Bonus DVD of [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]. A new intro song replaced the original TV intro song. There are quite a few dialog changes and they are listed below.

MudkipNDS: /* Support */

Keeping Bulbagarden online costs a significant amount, and it is only by [[Bulbapedia:Benefactors|generous]] [[Bulbapedia:Site support|donations]] that we are able to foot the bill. We hope to decrease our reliance on charity by publishing advertisements on Bulbapedia, which is the single largest site on the server in traffic terms. Specifically, we are proposing the publication of [[wp:Google|Google]] [[wp:AdSense|AdSense]] advertisements in the site-wide notice area.

We have refrained from doing so in the past because people are not drawn to Bulbapedia for its community, as is the case with the [[Bulbagarden forums]], but for its content. Bulbapedia is a [[wp:Web 2.0|Web 2.0]] site, therefore its content is created by its users - and to that degree it is also owned by its users, as opposed to other reference sites like Veekun or Smogon, where content is created by the staff. To monetize user-created content can be considered unethical - as one cynic put it, "Web 2.0: you make all the content, we make all the money."

Therefore, we have decided to consult you, the creators of content, on this matter. Naturally, votes will be weighted to reflect the number of edits the voter has made. Please cast your vote by adding your signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) to the end of the signature lists below. All registered users may vote '''once''' to:
* Support the publication of Google AdSense advertisements on Bulbapedia
* Reject the publication of Google AdSense advertisements on Bulbapedia
* Abstain

Users may change their vote at any time until this poll is closed.

MudkipNDS: /* Support */

Keeping Bulbagarden online costs a significant amount, and it is only by [[Bulbapedia:Benefactors|generous]] [[Bulbapedia:Site support|donations]] that we are able to foot the bill. We hope to decrease our reliance on charity by publishing advertisements on Bulbapedia, which is the single largest site on the server in traffic terms. Specifically, we are proposing the publication of [[wp:Google|Google]] [[wp:AdSense|AdSense]] advertisements in the site-wide notice area.

We have refrained from doing so in the past because people are not drawn to Bulbapedia for its community, as is the case with the [[Bulbagarden forums]], but for its content. Bulbapedia is a [[wp:Web 2.0|Web 2.0]] site, therefore its content is created by its users - and to that degree it is also owned by its users, as opposed to other reference sites like Veekun or Smogon, where content is created by the staff. To monetize user-created content can be considered unethical - as one cynic put it, "Web 2.0: you make all the content, we make all the money."

Therefore, we have decided to consult you, the creators of content, on this matter. Naturally, votes will be weighted to reflect the number of edits the voter has made. Please cast your vote by adding your signature (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) to the end of the signature lists below. All registered users may vote '''once''' to:
* Support the publication of Google AdSense advertisements on Bulbapedia
* Reject the publication of Google AdSense advertisements on Bulbapedia
* Abstain

Users may change their vote at any time until this poll is closed.

'''Mesprit''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エムリット''' ''Emrit'') is the second member of Sinnoh's {{t|Psychic}}-type [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[legendary trio|trinity]].

=Biology=
Mesprit is a legendary Pokémon that is part of the Psychic-type Lake Trio along with Uxie and Azelf. It has a small pinkbody about the size of Mew, and is identical to Uxie and Azelf except for its head. It has a pink head with a jewel embedded in its forehead, and four long ears drooping down its head looking like those of Lucario. Mesprit is referred to as "The Being of Emotion". It is said that Mesprit taught humans to sense emotion such as the pain of sorrow and the value of joy. If a human touches it, three days after the touch, the person will lose their emotions.

In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the trio is captured by Team Galactic, and they are freed by the protagonist. They attempt to stop Dialga or Palkia from overwhelming Sinnoh later in the game. When it is encountered afterwards, it flees in order to see the world. It is randomly encountered in the wild afterwards, and can be located using a Pokétch application.

==Physiology==
===Gender differences===
Mesprit is genderless.

===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Where To Catch==
Mesprit sleeps in [[Lake Verity]]. Once it is encountered, it will run away, wandering around [[Sinnoh]] and only traceable with the Map Marker [[Pokétch]] app. Mespirit will warp to a new location whenever the player crosses the boundry between two areas except if the player passes through a gate between a city and a route.

=Trivia=
*Mesprit is, as of [[Generation IV]], one of the three lightest legendary Pokémon, tied with the other members of its [[lake trio|trio]].
==Origin==
Mesprit is based after a [[wp:spirit|spirit]] or a [[wp:sprite|sprite]] and the color Magenta.
===Name origin===
The first part of its name comes from the Japanese verb 笑む ''emu'', meaning ''to smile''. ''Rit'' may come from the word ''sprite'', another word for fairy.
The English name may come from the French word "Esprit" meaning "spirit".

Pearl (Adventures)

2007-07-22T03:44:56Z

MudkipNDS:

{{Pokémon Special main character series}}
'''Pearl''' (Japanese: パール) is one of the male main characters for the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] story arc of [[Pokémon Special]]. He is impatient and is often accidentally getting himself and his friend, [[Diamond (Special)|Diamond]] into trouble. He is the straight man (''[[wp:Manzai|tsukkomi]]'') of the [[wp:Double act|comedy duo]], with Diamond as the funny man. His appearance is based off that of [[Pearl (game)|Pearl]] from the video game series.

A mix-up has them thinking they will gain a prize for escorting [[Berlitz]] to [[Mt. Coronet]]. Berlitz, mistaking them for her bodyguards, has given them [[Pokédex|Pokédexes]], [[Pokétch|Pokétches]], and [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Rowan]].

=Pokémon=
==On hand==
Pearl's Pokémon nicknames contain two syllables of the species' name followed by "hiko."

* {{p|Chatot}} (ペラヒコ ''Perahiko'')
** Pearl uses Chatot to spy on others and repeat back their conversations.
* {{p|Chimchar}} → {{p|Monferno}} (サルヒコ ''Saruhiko'')
** Monferno has a habit of clinging to Pearl.

==Logo filename==

What is the file name of the Bulbapedia logo? I though it would be Wiki.png, as usual, but alas.. {{User:Jellochuu/s}} 21:15, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Well, what's the logo's file name? [[User:KFan II|KFan II]] 15:42, 11 October 2005 (CDT)

Anyone still care about this? It's "Bulbapedia_logo.png". --[[User:Marty|Marty]] 22:10, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

==Moves/Attacks?==

I've noticed that people have been saying both "moves" and "attacks" when refering to Pokémon attacks, what are we sticking with? I say attacks, I think that's the official name for them. Once we decide [[Bulbapedia:Manual_of_style]] should probably mention it. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:34, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think the actual name for moves is technique, but I referrenced move in one article, because that's how they are in the wiki... for example, I think there's a "Hydro Cannon (move)" article. -GreenGiant

I just checked my Silver and Sapphire English booklets (the ones that come with the game). They both use "Move" to refer to the attacks. To add to it, using "Move" keeps consistent with any place that may use the term "Moveset". --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 20:52, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

R/B manual calls them both abilities and techniques. Fr/Lg manual says moves. The G/S manual calls them MOVEs. Okay I give up, we'll call them moves.... - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 05:14, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Gold ☆ for you.--[[User:LucarioProf|LucarioProf]]

==Pokémon Template==

Is it ready yet? If not, why? What is missing, what needs tweaking? I want to start the Pokémon pages. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:11, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Featured Article==

Hijacked it to "SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT" because I needed to address some things. I'll rever it next week, probably. If anyone modifies my announcement, except for spelling, expect a blocking. I'll remove it when it's ready to be removed. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Whoever's putting "Flavor text" above the Pokédex data '''INSTEAD''' of the phrase "Pokédex data", please stop.

If I'm not mistaken, I've just made the first TCG page on Bulbapedia. [[Spoink (EX Dragon 73)]].

==Don't mean to impose, but...==

Have you considered using the setup given by the Pokémon WikiProject at Wikipedia? The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with {{P|Bulbasaur}}, for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
: {{P|Bulbasaur}} is now a Featured article on Wikipedia, in case you may be interested. [[User:Celestianpower|Celestianpower]] 12:39, 12 March 2006 (CST)

== Movesets ==

Should we give mention to particular movesets of Pokémon or mention of certain Pokémon that are overpowered (Blissey, Skarmory, Dodrio, Snorlax, etc.)? - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 14:38, 11 September 2005 (CDT)

== Did You Know? ==

Actually, I believe in the Seafoam Islands episodes and a couple of others, Ash changes into summer clothes - a orange shirt and little swimtrunks.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but why is uploading disabled on Bulbapedia?
:Because uploading for both the Bulbapedia and Bulbanews is done on the Bulbagarden Archives - the Upload Media link on the side navigation should take you there. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:55, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

== "Bulbapedia"? ==

Just out of curiosity, why is the Pokemon Wiki named Bulbapedia? Pikapedia sounds more like wiki, and Pikachu is the unfficial mascot for Pokemon, not to mention one that everyone knows. My seven year-old brother, who has never watched an episode in his life or played a game (obviously) knows what a Pikachu is. Just a question. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 19:57, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

:I think it's because Bulbapedia was created with the help of Bulbagarden, another Pokémon web site. Don't quote me on that though, because I'm not 100% sure that's correct. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 04:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

::With the help of? It's part of [[Bulbagarden]]. Look up in the URL, bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net.

::Besides. Bulbasaur's #001 in the Pokédex, makes more sense than Pikachu in that regard. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 08:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well that ''does'' make more sense. I didn't know about all the other "Bulba" stuff. Well in that case, never mind. But if it was just a stand-alone wikia, I still think "Pikapedia" would make more sense and sound better. [[User:Tysis|Tysis]] 14:36, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
:Pikapedia might to Nintendo, but that's because they overhype Pikachu. It's not even that good, even when evolved. Now Ampharos, that's a good Electric-type. But if anything, if not Bulbapedia, it should be Poképedia. Not that I'm saying we should ever change it. I like Bulbapedia. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Loading Speed? ==

Hi there, I've noticed that lately that Bulbapedia pages have taken a while to load, so I looked up the speed on Alexa.com. It said the '''average''' time it took to load a page was 6.9 seconds. Is there some way to increase the speed (decrease the loading time)? If so would someone do it? (Of course it's not top priority.)Thanks! --[[User:Mudkiplover56|Mudkiplover56]] 00:17, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

:Yes. Please donate to the Bulbagarden server fund so that we can afford a faster server. This server is being pushed beyond its limits lately due to the increased traffic caused by the US release of DP. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

== Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit ==

I spent about 45 minutes changing the list of Water type Pokemon into a convenient table as with most of the type articles. However, due to the loading times, my edit was, for some reason, lost. I tried going back but was unable to. I only managed to edit the list of pure Water-types, but spent most of that time editing the list of dual types, none of which went through. Currently only the pure Water types have been added into a table. This really irritates me because I was planning on table-afying the other type articles, but now I don't feel like literally wasting more time...will the server load ever go back to normal? [[User:ShadowUltra|ShadowUltra]] 22:01, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hopefully, in August when we get a new server. But to be realistic, most likely never. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

hey how do you put a title on these pages.--[[User:Jon mew|Jon mew]] 13:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:You mean something like the ''Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit'' heading? It's very easy to do. All you do is type in the following: <nowiki>==TITLE GOES HERE==</nowiki> and you have your title. Of course, you'll probably want to replace TITLE GOES HERE with what your comment is actually about. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 20:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

==Brendan's hat==
Really, I thought Brendan does wear a hat. I mean, if he doesn't, that means he has white hair. Even in an anime that has purple and green-haired people as normal, I've never seen them put a boy with regular white hair. [[User:GlalieGuy|The Glalie Guy]]
:Eh, well, if it is a hat, it's a really, really weird one... after all, it seems to be more like hair. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:02, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

==Links==
I'm new to Bulbapedia and would really like to contribute, but I'm having trouble creating links to other Bulbapedia pages.

Hopefully, in August when we get a new server. But to be realistic, most likely never. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

hey there should be something about technology, like vehicles, robots, that sort of stuff in the pokemon series.--[[User:Jon mew|Jon mew]] 13:53, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

hey how do you put a title on these pages.--[[User:Jon mew|Jon mew]] 13:55, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

:You mean something like the ''Loading speed kills my 45 minute edit'' heading? It's very easy to do. All you do is type in the following: <nowiki>==TITLE GOES HERE==</nowiki> and you have your title. Of course, you'll probably want to replace TITLE GOES HERE with what your comment is actually about. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 20:20, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

==Brendan's hat==
Really, I thought Brendan does wear a hat. I mean, if he doesn't, that means he has white hair. Even in an anime that has purple and green-haired people as normal, I've never seen them put a boy with regular white hair. [[User:GlalieGuy|The Glalie Guy]]
:Eh, well, if it is a hat, it's a really, really weird one... after all, it seems to be more like hair. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 17:02, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
::It is a hat. He has black/brown hair under it.--[[User:Zwåjkl|Zwåjkl]] 18:00, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I'm sorry but I personally believe that's his hair. And you don't know. His hair could be two toned. White on top black on the bottom. If it is a hat then it's got to be the weirdest one I've seen. -- [[User:Kenji-girl|Kenji Girl]]
::::[[Ruby (Special)]] has a wardrobe full of his signature white sock-like hats. And is seen without the hat, in fact. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 10:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

==Links==
I'm new to Bulbapedia and would really like to contribute, but I'm having trouble creating links to other Bulbapedia pages. I attempted to create a link to the Diamond and Pearl page (see "In the TCG" in the Munchlax article), but it appeared red and, when clicked, gave me that "there is no such article" stuff.

I'm not quite sure in {{p|Deoxys}} is supposed to be based of Missingno. or not. Even my {{p|Jirachi}}-is based-off-the-Beanstar theory manages to mak more sense then that.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 13:33, 6 September 2005 (CDT)

:Oh, puh-leeze. Deoxys is not based off [[Missingno.]] I should know, I'm the self-proclaimed expert on Deoxys. (the key word there being self-proclaimed.) -- [[User:PinkDeoxys|PinkDeoxys]] 15:34, 8 January 2006 (CST)

::Not that I added it to the article, but I do somewhat agree that it shares a few traits... the call, kind of... It's like Hypno sounds like Jynx when sped up, only Deoxys you have to play backwards and sped up to make it sound like Missingno.. And the southern island thing. But I dunno, mostly it's just fan speculation unless we go and ask the designers ourselves. Not that I'd imagine they forgot about Missingno. entirely. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 06:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

== Location ==

How do you obtain Deoxys? Where is it? Also, how do you obtain Jirachi or Mew?

:Deoxys requires the ticket(forgot the name). On an island. Jirachi is the Colo bonus disk. Mew requires the old sea chart.

:The ticket is called the Aurora Ticket. It was given out at Pokémon Rocks America 2004. -- [[User:PinkDeoxys|PinkDeoxys]] 15:30, 8 January 2006 (CST)

IMO, I think Deoxys is based on it's namesake, DNA. or else viruses, with are just coated proteins like DNA.

:Deoxys is based off '''Deoxy'''riboneucleic (did I spell that right?) acid, or DNA. Its forms, '''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, and '''A'''ttack, form the word DNA. The '''S''' in '''S'''peed is the last letter of its name. -- [[User:PinkDeoxys|PinkDeoxys]] 15:30, 8 January 2006 (CST)

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: デオキシス ''Deoxys'') is a {{t|Psychic}}-type Pokémon.

Deoxys evolves neither to anything, nor from anything, and is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Dex number|National Dex]] within [[Generation III]].

=Biology=
The shape of Deoxys is based on a strand of DNA.

==Physiology==
Deoxys has four forms, each with different appearance, the main things that are constant for all four forms is that Deoxys's dominant color is orange with a bluish-green face that has a purple stripe where a nose would be and white circular eyes and the crystalline organ in its chest:

The "Normal" form has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single blue stripe that goes down to the knees. Deoxys can sometimes have bluish-green arms with five-fingered hands and a red "Y" shape that runs down the arms' entire length. It has an orange skin that covers it except for it's belly. It also been seen with two cord-like tentacle (one red and one blue) in place of the arms. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears".

The "Attack" form has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Form, but the stripes run down for mostly all of the legs' length and Deoxys has a spike on each of its knees. Deoxys has a pair of tentacles that come to a point were its arms would be and cannot be twisted. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared.

The "Defense" form has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. Deoxys has flat, broad tentacles that also can't be twisted and Deoxys's head has been fused with its body. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The "Speed" form has gray, skinny legs and a gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body. The back of Deoxys's head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" for faster movement.
===Gender differences===
Deoxys is a genderless species.
===Special abilities===
Deoxys mostly has the same abilities as {{p|Mewtwo}} and the aforementioned ability to change its appearance to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle.

Deoxys's signature attack is {{M|Psycho Boost}}.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Deoxys came from [[wp:outer space|outer space]].

==Diet==
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

=In the anime=
Deoxys first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to La Rousse City to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As [[Pokémon Emerald]] had not been released when the movie was produced, only its [[Stat#Defense|Defense]], Normal and [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] forms appeared.

Deoxys also appeared in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''. This is where Deoxys's [[Stat#Speed|Speed]] form debuted.

*More info below*
Deoxys first appeared in the seventh Pokémon film, ''[[Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]''. In the film, it demonstrated the ability to switch between its forms (it's debatable whether speed form was used, after it was attacked and appeared to use an Extremespeed attack on [[Rayquaza]]), create shadow copies for use as drones, regenerate missing body parts, launch an [[Aurora (astronomy)|aurora]] into the sky, and erect a city-size force field which keeps nearly every sort of machine within from operating (although some debate it was due to the blockage of wind which generated electricity for the city). The film also demonstrated that Deoxys is not a one-of-a-kind unique species like Rayquaza; more than one Deoxys is seen.

In the opening sequence to the eighth season of the Pokémon anime (in the United States, ''Pokémon Advanced Battle''), Deoxys is seen in its Speed form. Deoxys also appears in the episode ''[[Pokémon Ranger! Deoxys Crisis!]]'', part of the eighth season, in which its Speed form was finally introduced. It's the third Pokémon to speak through Meowth to communicate with humans, the others being [[Tentacruel]] and [[Haunter]].

=Manga Series=
In the ''Pokémon Adventures'' manga, Deoxys is captured on the Sevii Islands by Team Rocket's leader, Giovanni, and is used to fight Red, Green, Blue, and Mewtwo at the Trainer Tower, following Red's defeat to Deoxys in which all 6 of his Pokemon are now critically injured and are now on the brink of death (it nearly kills Mewtwo, as well). Giovanni's main purpose for catching Deoxys is to locate his son, [[Silver (Special)|Silver]]. In the manga incarnation, Deoxys can create mirages using aurora and create wormholes in addition to other abilities. Like in the video games, Deoxys's form is dependant on its location (in Kanto, it can only assume attack or defense form, while in Hoenn it can only use its normal or speed forms), however, it can be circumvented using the ruby and sapphires used to connect the PC systems of Kanto and Hoenn. Deoxys was also revealed to not initially be one of a kind. There were originally two Deoxys, which took etheral, insubstantial forms. However, the Deoxys seen in the manga managed to escape, and in the wild it took its solid state. The insubstantial Deoxys was used by Team Rocket until they captured the physical Deoxys, at which point it is hinted that Team Rocket killed the etheral Deoxys. Deoxys is later revealed by Yellow to share Red's DNA.

=In the Pokémon Trading Card Game=
[[Image:Deoxys deoxysnrmex.JPG|thumb|Deoxys in the ''Pokémon Card Game'' (EX Deoxys set).]]
Deoxys is featured prominently in the ''[[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]'' expansion named after it, ''EX Deoxys'' (Speed form in ''EX Emerald''), represented in two cards each, with one of each pair of cards as an EX Pokémon:
*Defense form
*Normal form
*Attack form
*Speed form

All eight cards share the same Poké-Power, Form Change, which lets the player switch its current card form with another card form in a player's deck at any time during a player's turn.

Deoxys's four forms each make another appearance in the more recent ''EX Holon Phantoms set'', continuing to carry the Form Change Poke-Power characteristics of the previous

=Other appearances=
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When unleashed from a [[PokéBall]], a Normal type version Deoxys will sometimes appear and unleash a [[Hyper Beam]].

=In the Video Games=
==Video Game Summary==
=== Deoxys' forms ===
Deoxys has the ability to change its form to adapt to its current environment, a trait found in some microorganisms when introduced to hostile conditions.This feature of Deoxys manifests itself only in the ''Pokémon'' games, ''FireRed'', ''LeafGreen'', and ''Emerald''. Each version features Deoxys with an entirely different set of statistics, moveset, and appearance, and as such encourages a different strategy in battle. [The shiny form of Deoxys is yellow and green].The Deoxys of each version is unique to it: if traded to the other version, it will shift accordingly. If this technique is used properly, a single Deoxys can be traded several times to obtain the best moves from each form. Moves are exchangeable, but stats recalculate when traded. For instance: in Emerald, Deoxys learns Extremespeed, a Normal-type move that always goes first. Once this move is learned, Deoxys can be traded to ''FireRed'', where its Attack form can use the move to devastating effect.

In the ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games, Deoxys resides in the Meteor Cave, where the player fights all forms of Deoxys as mirages. The Deoxys mirage of each floor must be defeated before the player can progress. On floor 20 of the dungeon, a real Deoxys is fought, which the player can recruit. Whenever Deoxys enters a new floor in a dungeon, it will transform into a random form. Just like in the other games, this Deoxys will learn moves based on the form it is in when it levels up – for instance, in Attack Form Deoxys can learn Zap Cannon at Level 40, while it can learn Extremespeed in its Speed Form at Level 50. However, because of this, Deoxys cannot have moves remembered at the [[Gulpin]] Link Shop.

In all four forms, TM and HM compatibility is exactly the same. All four forms are also banned from competitive play due to the legendary status of Deoxys.

Deoxys can also be transferred to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'']]. Once transferred, it can be freely changed between forms. In Veilstone City, there are four meteorites in the southeast corner of the town. Interacting with a meteorite will cause Deoxys to change form.

During link cable battles in the Advance games, an opposing Deoxys will always be shown in its Normal form, regardless of whether or not the Deoxys being used by the opponent is actually in that form. Despite the reused sprite, the actual Deoxys will retain the stats of its true form. In Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the sprite will be shown in the correct form.

Deoxys was created before Emerald was released, so before its Speed form came into being, Deoxys' three forms spelled out DNA ('''D'''efense '''N'''ormal '''A'''ttack). However, with the creation of its Speed form, this has mostly become a moot point.

==== Normal form ====
In the ''Pokémon Ruby'', ''Pokémon Sapphire'', and ''Pokémon Colosseum'' games, Deoxys assumes its Normal form. In this form, each of its arms resembles two cords arranged in a double helix pattern (quite appropriate for a creature named and modeled after DNA), which may easily change into the shape of an elastic hand. Its list of attacks contains mostly offensive techniques with a couple of defensive abilities thrown in for good measure. This form of Deoxys is also playable in ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'' in the "Quick Battle" mode, and is always paired up with [[Blissey]]. Statistically, it is a somewhat more balanced variation of the attack form, but it still has poor defenses despite being the "balanced" version.

==== Attack form ====
In ''FireRed'', Deoxys assumes its Attack form. In this form, Deoxys' head features three points akin to horns and its cord-like arms resemble tentacles. It's central core is also more exposed. Its offensive stats are boosted at the expense of its defensive statistics, which are less than 200 at their maximum. While the ''Ruby/Sapphire'' Deoxys has a few defensive moves, the ''FireRed'' version will only learn offensive attacks by level-up. It is also capable of having the highest Attack and Special Attack stats in the game. In this form, Deoxys holds the title of being the most offensively powerful Pokémon. Its poor defenses make it weak to priority moves, but it is faster than all other Pokémon except for [[Ninjask]] and the Speed form of Deoxys.

==== Defense form ====
In ''LeafGreen'' version, Deoxys assumes its Defense form. In this form, Deoxys' head almost fuses with its body, its neck disappearing completely. Its shoulders and chest bulge and its arms become wide and flat. This version of Deoxys features almost completely inverted statistics compared to the other two forms, having especially high defenses while featuring at best average offensive capabilities. The list of level-up moves is similarly changed, maintaining only a couple of damaging moves while being rich in defensive and support skills. It is somewhat similar to [[Shuckle]] (the Pokémon with the highest defense) in that it has a relatively low base HP stat (only base 50), leaving it more vulnerable to attacks that ignore Defense. Despite this, it is considered to be the ultimate "[[Tank (computer gaming)|tank]]" in the game due to its wide movepool.

==== Speed form ====
In ''Emerald'', Deoxys assumes its Speed form. In this form, Deoxys looks similar to its Attack form, but with a huge horn on the back of its head instead of a trio of points. Its legs become slender and more agile, and most of its excess body mass disappears. Thus, its interior gray body is exposed through the Speed form so it may move quicker. The number of tentacles is reduced to one per arm; its left tentacle is red, and the right tentacle is blue. In this form, its Speed is its greatest asset; its Attack and Defense stats are balanced (Attack is slightly higher), more so than its Normal Form, but neither are especially outstanding. Its Speed, on the other hand, exceeds that of all other Pokemon. The stat balance of this form allows it to be unpredictable; one will never know what Deoxys will do, as its stats allow for many movesets to be viable. This is the only form that was not shown in the movie, as it had not been designed at that point.

=== Obtaining Deoxys ===
Currently, the only known way to obtain Deoxys (besides using a [[GameShark]] or other cheating device) is by trading it from ''Pokémon FireRed'', ''LeafGreen'', or ''Emerald'', where it is obtainable on Birth Island. The only way to get to Birth Island is via a Wonderspot — a special event hosted by Nintendo where a satellite allows the tickets to be downloaded to the game cartridge, or by using a GameShark or [[Action Replay]], although any Deoxys caught somewhere other than Birth Island will not obey its trainer in any Pokémon game besides Ruby and Sapphire, even if that trainer has all eight badges, and cannot be traded to another version. The only known way to ensure a nearly completely legitimate Deoxys with a Gameshark or Action Replay that will obey the trainer and can be traded (as well as all the other functions of a normal Deoxys) is to use a code that transports the player to Birth Island or gives the player an Aurora ticket or makes Deoxys appear, and catch it with no codes that ensure an automatic catch (excluding the Master Ball and easy catch codes). During the battle to capture Deoxys, a piece of music containing Deoxys's theme is played (incidentally, Deoxys is one of two Pokémon of all four current generations to have its own unique battle theme). Some people say it is only obtainable over level thirty, which is not true.

Deoxys is obtainable in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'' game at the end of a twenty-floor dungeon known as the Meteor Cave, and when the player uses Deoxys in ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'', its form randomly changes from time to time in dungeons. However, Pokémon from ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games cannot be transferred to any other Pokémon games. A special promotion for pre-ordering tickets to the tenth Pokémon movie in Japan is also currently being held, where a Deoxys is transferred to a player's ''Diamond'' or ''Pearl'' card at level 50 and housed within the exclusive Cherish Ball.

=== Pokémon Ranger ===
Deoxys appears in all of its forms in ''[[Pokémon Ranger]]''. It is available as the player's first Ranger Net mission and is available to play immediately after beating the main storyline of the game. In this side mission, a Deoxys goes on a rampage and the player must stop it. After it is chased into the Krokka Tunnel, it assumes its Attack form. Attempts to capture it reveal that it must be in Normal form. Repeated attempts to capture it in the wrong forms, as well as various attempts at emotional appeal, finally lead to it assuming its Normal Form. The final battle forces the player to wait for it to assume Normal form, since it randomly switches forms during the battle. Capturing it calms it down, at which point the mission is cleared. An epilogue explains that Spenser was responsible for Deoxys' rage.

=== Pokémon Diamond and Pearl ===
[[Image:Deoxys_Meteroite.JPG|thumb|The meteorites near Veilstone City]]
In ''Pokémon Diamond'' and ''Pearl'', Deoxys can be used in any form by visiting certain meteorites near Veilstone City. Selecting different meteorites will convert the Deoxys into its various forms.

=Trivia=
* The attack form of Deoxys has the highest attack of any Pokémon.
* The speed form of Deoxys has the highest speed of any Pokémon.
* All of Deoxys's forms are available in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]; however, unlike [[Generation III]], they can freely be changed in-game by inspecting the meteorites in [[Veilstone City]].
==Origin==
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens. Considering its viral nature and its ability to mutate, not to mention its location on a southern island, it may have been loosely based on the [[Missingno.]] glitch. However, the fact that in its neutral form, its arms spiral in a way that resembles DNA, from which its name is already derived, this suggests that there is a connection there too.
===Name origin===
Deoxys's name is an abbreviation of ''[[wp:DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid]]'', or DNA, the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms.

==In other languages==
