'''Hoppip''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハネッコ''' ''Hanecco'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Skiploom}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Jumpluff}} starting at level 27.

==Biology==
Hoppip is a round, pink Pokémon with long green leaves growing on top of its head. The leaves on its head have ragged edges, similar to a {{wp|dandelion}}. It has big, triangular ears with dark insides and beady yellow eyes that lack pupils. Its arms and legs are stubby, and it has a short tail with a rounded tip. There is a circular yellow pad on the underside of each foot.

Hoppip's body is very light, and it is easily lifted off the ground by winds and will drift in the air. Hoppip can sense approaching strong winds. In order to avoid being blown away, it clusters and links leaves with other Hoppip or grips the ground firmly with its feet. However, it enjoys gentle breezes. Hoppip lives {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|in grasslands}}, although some also drift through fields, mountains, and even urban environments.

==Trivia==
* Hoppip is both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Grass}} and the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Hoppip and its evolutions were given their English names by [[Nob Ogasawara]].
===Origin===
Hoppip appears to be based on a {{wp|bulb}} or {{wp|root}}. The leaves on its head resemble leaves of a {{wp|dandelion}}.

====Name origin====
Hoppip may derive from ''hop'', ''hip-hop'', or ''hippity-hop'', indicating that it jumps or flies through the air. It may also derive from ''pip'', a type of seed, or ''pipsqueak''. The names of all stages of its evolutionary line are based on the phrase, "Just a hop, skip, and a jump away."

Hanecco may be any combination of 葉 ''ha'' (leaf), 跳ねる ''haneru'' (to jump or hop), or 羽 ''hane'' (wing), and 根っ子 ''nekko'' (root).

== Problems with main page ==

I've been having a few issues with the main page. I can't click on the 'discussion', 'view source', 'history' or 'watch' buttons. Those buttons work on most other pages, so as far as I know, it's just this page. Also, these errors only occurred after the update.

== Just curious; ==

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too?

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page. Now, I don't remember tapping anything on the screen but there's a chance I did without noticing it. Either way, I'm not convinced it was accidental tapping. What happened is that I suddenly got redirected multiple times through the ad network until I reached [http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com/pt/sx/iphone/home/updates/?revid=66054&campaign=20996&viewSpeed= this], which is a pornographic site.

== Userspace edit limit - pages to be put into mainspace ==

I am going to be writing a major section for an article here, but it will be spread across several days, and want to merge it all in to the article at one time.

:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.

* I wanted to inform you that Pokémon Central Wiki has moved its Main page from Pagina principale to [[it:Home]], could you please change the link on Bulbapedia's Main page?
* I also noticed that the Portuguese wiki is not working at all, it tells me that the page does not exist (the same error that appears when you try to surf the Internet with no connection), is it a Country problem (I'm Italian) or is it something else?
* When it shows me the 503 error what should I do, can I try to refresh the page immediately or should I wait 5 minutes before trying again?--[[User:CiaobyDany|CiaobyDany]] ([[User talk:CiaobyDany|talk]]) 21:03, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them. It is not a browser problem, since it happened with opera, chrome mobile and another mobile browser. I don't know if the fact I'm in Italy matters. I wrote down the site I get redirected to when I'm on the tablet. I don't have the desktop site because now I usually use my tablet, and I didn't think of writing down the URL. I first thought to add the link hidden in this discussion, but anybody could have still opened it. If you need it I can send it by email. Thanks for your attention--[[User:CiaobyDany|CiaobyDany]] ([[User talk:CiaobyDany|talk]]) 08:21, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there. Thank you for replying. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 15:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

==Long-Running Script==

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

1. Click "stop script," and then be redirected to a page that says Bulbagarden has been shut down permanently, and be unable to go back.

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

First of all, what is this "long-running script?" And, how in tarnation does the "Bulbagarden shut down" message appear? And, can those errors be fixed somehow? [[User:Spyspotter|Spyspotter]] [[User talk:Spyspotter|says…]] Edit the mainspace, [[Special:ListUsers|kids!]] 02:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

==Problems?==
Every time I want to access a page, it asks if I want to download it. It is only after a click the link around 20 times that I can go the page without having to download it. For example, this is what I get if I want I click "Random":
----

I tested this out with Firefox and Google Chrome, still the same error. Along with this, certain pages are styled strangely - for the editing box for editing the talkpage of the main page, the editing box is rather tiny, and the character palette has all clickable symbols underlined, any of these symbols when clicked doing nothing (with the exception of taking you to the top of the page).

On the front page, there is no light grey "Search" word in the search box, and the UTC clock has disappeared. Sometimes there is a rather medium sized space between the "Due to a security issue..." message and the "Welcome to Bulbapedia!" message. Also, sometimes the green background turns into a white background.

Also, some pages are displayed without the stylesheet.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 14:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Prerelease policy suggestion ==

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time.

::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself?

== Differently color-coded generatons ==

You can rip the 2D sprites seen in screens like the inventory and Pokémon lists by using a 3DS capture card and ripping them the classic way (i.e. taking screenshots and cutting the sprites out).

== Ampersands in titles ==

For articles that contain ampersands (& ←like this), clicking the edit top of page link or new section link leads to a window where you end up editing a page with a title that goes up to before the first ampersand. For example: editing [[Black & White TCG Series merchandise|this page]] in this manner leads to editing [[Black|this page]] instead. In other words, the ampersand performs a cutoff. How can this be resolved? [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 23:00, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
:That doesn't seem to be happening for me. The ampersands that are part of the page titles end up being replaced by the character code "%26", thus avoiding the cutoff, when I go to edit the page you used as an example.

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically? (I know this is totally not a priority and thus will absolutely not happen at least until the XY info is all put up, but I thought I'd suggest it to be implemented at some point in the future.)

:"Sprites" in the traditional sense don't really exist anymore; Pokémon in Gen VI are represented by fully in-motion 3D models with no single "still image" to really take as a sprite.

I noticed that within each page on the individual Pokémon types, there is a 'Characteristics' section, which describes both defensive and offensive characteristics.

It just occurred to me that the wiki could probably afford to have an article about [[StreetPass]].

That is all That is shown when I try to access the Zelda wiki, I have no viruses on my smartphone (I know because I constantly scan for viruses and use AVG as my virus scanner), this has only been happening since I cleared the cache, but again sometimes it works just like it's supposed to so I don't think the cache is the problem, anyways I wanted to let you know about it so you can help me figure out the problem and let the Zelda wiki people know. I will also be posting this same thing to the Zelda wiki once I can get on it again. So please help me out, thank you for your time and I shall be awaiting responses.

Not meaning to be rude when I say this, but it seems that you didn't notice the part where I said that I would let Zelda wiki know the next time I was able to get onto the site. Also, I have noticed that there are a few other postings in this section, whether visible or archived, where people have stated problems for NIWA and not just bulbapedia here and they seem to not have been reprimanded or asked to go to the other site to report it. again not meaning to be rude, sorry if it came across that way.

[[User:Lordofninjas1|Lordofninjas1]] ([[User talk:Lordofninjas1|talk]]) 16:41, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
:Right, but I suggested using the Zelda Universe forums, which while affiliated with Zelda Wiki are at a different domain, so will not necessarily be down at the same time. I wasn't trying to reprimand you for posting that here, just suggested a better place to ask; I'm the only person active here who is staff on Zelda Wiki, so you're unlikely to get an answer unless I see the message (which I did in this case). The other section about NIWA on this page is actually about the NIWA links on the front page (I only glanced at the previous archive, but it looks like most messages about NIWA are too).

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 23:23, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much.

:Okay, first of all, once again, ''please'' do not continue messaging me with warnings as if you are staff. If staff steps in and says there is a problem, then fine. Second of all, the first time you messaged me, as I said before, was a maintenance error that I was trying to fix and inadvertently caused multiple edits with, and as I said, I had attempted to see if Werndae could do anything (unsuccessfully, but that makes no difference). Has you actually taken the time to ''look'' at the edits, or even the edit summaries, you'd realize that it was a MediaWiki issue involving the [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded|Pages where template include size is exceeded]] category, once which is not easily fixable. Now, if you don't mind, I would prefer you do not bug me with these faux warnings any more, given that you yourself have been found breaking the userspace policy by {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|Userspace policy|editing someone else's userpage without their permission}}, plus doing the {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|Userspace limits|same thing you are attempting to warn me about}}, as well as {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|The Preview Button|edit fluffing}}.

Obviously, if you don't know anything about your Safari, then it's not really worth it to use it at all.

== Fox McCloud to Fox McButt? What?==

So, I saw your notice to me. I honestly have no idea where that came from.

Oh god, I just realized it. I have a chrome extension that changes every instance of "Cloud" to "Butt" when a page is loaded. It must have changed that down below in the edit pane and I had no clue. I'm sorry about that.

Please note that when archiving pages on Bulbapedia, you should move your current talk page to the new page instead of copying and pasting it. This preserves the history of the talk page.

:I will keep that in mind for the future. Thanks, Pokemaster. In truth, I was used to just cutting and pasting because of how often I do that through Wikia sites.

==Userspace limits==
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day and make sure you contribute to our {{bp|mainspace}} more than your userspace. This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our server. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 23:23, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
:.... I was trying to fix an error, one which I [[User_talk:Werdnae#Might_need_some_help_here.|contacted Werndae]] about. That wasn't over-excessive editing, that was trying to solve a transclusion issue. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 23:26,1/2/2014 (UTC)

==Hold on!==
If you did not read your last warning, then please read it now. You have edited the <code>User:</code> namespace too much. In the past, no one was allowed to edit their userpages because some users were over-editing their own userpages. Your personal editing privileges can be taken away, so please do not edit your page any more for now. Instead, how about helping contribute to some of Bulbapedia's [[Special:Random|many articles]]? Thank you. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 22:43, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
:Okay, first of all, once again, ''please'' do not continue messaging me with warnings as if you are staff. If staff steps in and says there is a problem, then fine. Second of all, the first time you messaged me, as I said before, was a maintenance error that I was trying to fix and inadvertently caused multiple edits with, and as I said, I had attempted to see if Werndae could do anything (unsuccessfully, but that makes no difference). Has you actually taken the time to ''look'' at the edits, or even the edit summaries, you'd realize that it was a MediaWiki issue involving the [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded|Pages where template include size is exceeded]] category, once which is not easily fixable. Now, if you don't mind, I would prefer you do not bug me with these faux warnings any more, given that you yourself have been found breaking the userspace policy by {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|Userspace policy|editing someone else's userpage without their permission}}, plus doing the {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|Userspace limits|same thing you are attempting to warn me about}}, as well as {{DL|User talk:Cinday123|The Preview Button|edit fluffing}}. You are not staff, please do not act like it. Thank you, and good day. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 22:59,1/8/2014 (UTC)

== Friend Safari ==

In Friend Safari, my type is unknown and what if they don't know their Friend Safari's type, then don't add it, so if you add a friend and they have their own Friend Safari and contains three Pokémon, then you can add that template. [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 23:06, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
:The template is still very fresh, not even sure if it's even necessary to move it since I'm letting people use it without asking if they want. Obviously, if you don't know anything about your Safari, then it's not really worth it to use it at all. If you've only unlocked two, the third will link to {{p|???}}, and the third sprite will be the question mark (same for all Gen VI until we get the images, but that's irrelevant). The usage is rightfully <code><nowiki>{{User:Schiffy/User Friend Safari|type|first dex #|second|third|first name|second|third}}</nowiki></code>.

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type|Dark}} [[Legendary Pokémon|Mythical Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It was first officially revealed in February 2007.

It is a member of the [[lunar duo]] with {{p|Cresselia}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Darkrai legs.png|thumb|left|200px|Darkrai's legs]]
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like Pokémon. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly plume billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, with the portion on its face resembling hair. It also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders. It also has black, claw-like hands. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally does not have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai can retract its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

Darkrai is known to "inhabit" dreams and causes the target to have unending nightmares, which can be stopped if exposed to a [[Lunar Wing]] from {{p|Cresselia}}. However, the "unleashing of nightmares" is actually a defense mechanism, instead of an intentionally malicious act. It can become a shadow and escape danger or contact of humans. It is also capable of little human speech. In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', it was shown its power was little of that of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. As seen in [[DP104|an anime episode]], Darkrai does not only cause nightmares; it is also attracted to them. It can also go around objects it is attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]. Darkrai possibly feeds off dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares. Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}.

==In the anime==
Why is Darkrai so tall-looking but actually it's just 5ft?
[[File:Tobias Darkrai.png|thumb|250px|Darkrai in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Darkrai (M10)]]====
{{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} starred in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as the hero of the movie, taking the task of holding off the fighting between {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} until {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} could put the [[Oración]] disk in the Space-Time Tower music player to calm the fighting between Palkia and Dialga. It reappeared in a cameo in the end credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other====
Darkrai made its {{pkmn|anime}} debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Unlike the Darkrai in the film, this Darkrai was ''causing'' nightmares, much like in the {{pkmn|games}}. According to [[Officer Jenny]], it comes at a certain time every year. In the episode, however, it came earlier due to it being lured by {{TRT}}'s machine that was causing nightmares. Cresselia is normally in the same place as Darkrai to stop it giving nightmares but due to Darkrai's early coming, the people in [[Canalave City]] had nightmares for several days. One night, it was concealing itself when {{p|Cresselia}} used its abilities to reveal it from the darkness. The two then battled and Darkrai hid itself once more in the shadows.

In ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', a mysterious Trainer in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] was shown to have a Darkrai. In [[DP184|the following episode]], [[Conway]] revealed that the Trainer, {{si|Tobias}}, had easily defeated all eight [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh using only Darkrai. In the Sinnoh League semi-finals, this Darkrai easily defeated Ash's Heracross, Torkoal, and Gible. However, it was defeated by [[Ash's Sceptile]] in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]''.

A Darkrai appeared in the Pokemon short ''[[PK26|Pikachu, What's This Key?]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sird Darkrai.png|thumb|200px|Darkrai in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In The Rise of Darkrai manga===
{{main|Darkrai (M10)}}
Darkrai appeared in the manga adaptation of ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
At the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, [[Sird]] let out a beam of light from a [[Poké Ball]] upon seeing {{adv|Deoxys}} leaving for space. Thinking that Sird was trying to retrieve Deoxys, {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Yellow}}, and {{adv|Silver}} tried to stop her, and {{adv|Mewtwo}} charged into the light of the Poké Ball. Within moments, the five [[Pokédex Holder]]s were turned into stone, and a black shadow appeared in front of Sird. When Sird reappeared in front of her [[Team Galactic]] colleagues in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} and explained what happened, the black shadow was revealed to be Darkrai, though Sird still did not reveal its name.

Darkrai later reappeared in the {{chap|Platinum}}, where it was revealed that Sird had released it into the Distortion World. It first faced its arch-rival {{p|Cresselia}}. [[Charon]] later took control of the Pokémon, and, along with Giratina and Heatran, used it in a battle against the other Sinnoh legendary Pokémon in the climax of the chapter. Darkrai was later freed from the control of Charon, and departed to parts unknown.

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
A Darkrai appeared in ''[[PMDP19|The Illusory Pokémon Darkrai Appears!!]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Darkrai (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Darkrai appears as a trophy.

====Trophy Information====
''A Pitch-Black Pokémon. It becomes active on nights of the new moon. This legendary Pokémon has the power to lull people to sleep and fill their heads with dreams. Proverbs say that Darkrai will make people have terrifying dreams on moonless nights. A {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, Darkrai uses the {{m|Dark Void}} [[move]], along with {{m|Embargo}}, which stops foes from using held items.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Darkrai appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. It puts fighters to sleep and damages them by using {{m|Dark Void}}.
====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This Dark-type Pokémon can cause people and other Pokémon to experience nightmares. While it is floating in the air, it tucks its legs in so far, it looks like they vanish! In battle it will use a move called Dark Void, which sucks in surrounding opponents and puts them into a deep sleep. ''

'''PAl''': ''A Pokémon shrouded in mystery, Darkrai has the ability to implant nightmares into the minds of both humans and Pokémon. It has legs, but seems to prefer to float in the air. Its favourite move in this game is Dark Void. When this attack hits something, it creates a vortex that sucks in fighters and puts them to sleep. ''

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]: Darkrai is the main antagonist in the game. He resided in [[Wish Park]] and wants to merge the Wish Park with PokéPark.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Darkrai is the final boss, summoned by [[Blake Hall]].

==Trivia==
* Darkrai is tied with {{p|Weavile}} for the highest base {{stat|Speed}} of all Dark-types.
* As of [[Generation V]], Darkrai's [[effort values|EV]] yield (2 Sp. Atk, 1 Speed) is unique.
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} as well.
* Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' in his sleep before the player cures his nightmare. It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]. When the player takes the [[Member Card]] to the Harbor Inn, the innkeeper (presumably an illusion created by Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[Surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows players of other language releases to reach Darkrai without the Member Card.
** This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.

===Origin===
Resembling a {{wp|shadow}}, Darkrai's appearance suggests it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmares}}. It may have been inspired by the old Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s (or {{wp|jinn}}) or the {{wp|bogeyman}}. Darkrai could also be based on the concept of {{wp|Morpheus}}, the Greek god responsible for shaping dreams. It may also have been based on {{wp|Phobetor}}, an {{wp|Oneiroi}} being the personification of nightmares.

====Name origin====
Darkrai is a combination of ''dark'', and 暗い ''kurai'' (dark) or "rai" (Hindi for king).

A '''drink''' is a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. Most can be used during or outside of a {{pkmn|battle}} to restore a Pokémon's {{stat|HP}}. They are usually a cheap alternative to [[Potion]]s, but are rarely purchasable in bulk.

==Acquisition==
Drinks are found in a variety of special places. The main three, Fresh Water, Soda Pop, and Lemonade, can be bought from [[Vending Machine]]s; Moomoo Milk can be bought from Vending Machines in {{Pokémon XD}}, and at the [[Café Cabin]] in [[Sinnoh]]. They can be bought in bulk in only two places, in the [[Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island Market Stall]] (after certain requirements are met) and at [[Mt. Moon Square]] in {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

In Generation V, Vending Machines are much more common, being located in [[Shopping Mall Nine]], [[Twist Mountain]], {{rt|5|Unova}}, {{rt|9|Unova}}, [[Cold Storage]], {{rt|15|Unova}}, [[Marvelous Bridge]], and [[Village Bridge]], as well as in several cities and towns. Moomoo Milk can be purchased from the market in [[Driftveil City]] in single bottles or by the dozen. Berry Juice can be won on board the [[Royal Unova]] or bought in [[Black City]]. Fresh Water can also be purchased in Black City and can be obtained from the [[Gym guide|Clyde]] in every [[Gym]].

When purchasing a drink in the [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} {{pkmn|games}}, there is a 1/64 chance that the {{player}} may also receive an extra drink for free. In [[Generation V]], this chance is increased to a 1/32 chance. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, there is also a chance of an extra drink, with an even slimmer chance of two extra drinks. When this happens, the message ''"Score! An extra can of <item> dropped down!"'', ''"Bonus! Another can of <item> dropped down."'', {{tt|''"Score! You got a bonus drink! An extra bottle of <item> dropped down."''|"Score big time! Another bottle of <item> dropped down." for two extra drinks}} is displayed, depending on [[generation]]. In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, there is a [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medal]] for having this happen.

==Use==
A thirsty girl on the roof of [[Celadon Department Store]] will give [[TM]]s in exchange for one of the [[Vending Machine]] drinks. The TMs vary between generations. In [[Generation I]], the girl trades {{TM|13|Ice Beam}} for Fresh Water, {{TM|48|Rock Slide}} for Soda Pop, and {{TM|49|Tri Attack}} for Lemonade. In [[Generation III]], the girl trades {{TM|16|Light Screen}} for Fresh Water, {{TM|20|Safeguard}} for Soda Pop, and {{TM|33|Reflect}} for Lemonade.

==In the anime==
In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle]] was seen mixing various sorts of Berry Juice with his {{p|Shuckle}}, their effects varying from curing indigestion to attracting Pokémon.

In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', bottles of Moomoo Milk were one of the things [[Khoury]] was selling at the [[Johto Festival]]. [[Khoury's father]] also gave {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} cones of ice cream made out of Moomoo Milk, while [[Jessie]] was seen drinking a bottle of stolen Moomoo Milk.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Triple Threats!]]'', [[Cress]] offered to bring {{Ash}} a Soda Pop, but he declined, wanting a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} rather than a lunch.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Ash and {{un|Cameron}} were seen drinking Moomoo Milk, while [[Stephan]] was seen drinking Soda Pop.

In ''[[BW105|Lost at the League!]]'', a vendor gave a Soda Pop to {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and Stephan was seen drinking a Moomoo Milk.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Soda Pop made a brief appearance as one of the items in {{adv|Red}}'s [[Bag]] in ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]''.

[[Eusine]] was given several bottles of Moomoo Milk by the Miltank Farmers in ''[[PS127|Miltank Melee]]''. When he had finished healing Miltank Farmers' Miltank, he was surprised by {{adv|Crystal}}, causing him to drop all the bottles, breaking them in the process.

[[Todd Snap]] was seen drinking a bottle Fresh Water in ''[[PS303|Never Spritz a Knotty Sudowoodo]]''. As he was unable to drink the whole bottle, he poured the remaining water onto what he thought was a tree, but soon turned out to be a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}}, causing it to attack him and requiring {{adv|Emerald}} to calm it down.

[[Professor Carolina|Cynthia's grandmother]] enjoys drinking Moomoo Milks at [[Café Cabin]], as first shown in ''[[PS367|Suffering Psyduck]]''.

:For me, I find Moomoo Milk disgusting, so I never drink it.

==In the TCG==
Moomoo Milk is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as a {{TCG|Trainer card}}. First released in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion as '''Moo-Moo Milk''', a reprint in the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} expansion changed it to '''Moomoo Milk'''. This name change and slight difference in each card's effect prompted a ruling that declared the prints as different cards.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], a Fresh Water, Soda Pop, or Lemonade could be given to the thirsty guards who blocked entry into [[Saffron City]]; this is changed in the remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where they must be given Tea instead. This is likely to prevent exploitation of a Pokémon's ability to [[held item|hold items]], which did not exist in Generation I, and would allow a player of FireRed or LeafGreen to trade one of the three drinks from another game and enter Saffron as early as they arrived in Cerulean. This exploit is actually possible in the Generation I games by using {{g|Stadium 2}}'s Color Case to move the item from another game's Bag or PC.
* The Fresh Water and {{DL|Herbal medicine|Energy Root}} are the two most cost-effective HP recovery items, each recovering 1 HP per {{pdollar}}4 spent. However, the {{DL|Potion|Max Potion}} can potentially be more cost-effective if used on a {{p|Chansey}} or {{p|Blissey}} with extremely high HP; the best possible situation would be using a Max Potion on a [[Level]] 100 {{p|Blissey}} with maximum {{EV}}s and {{IV}}s in HP and 1 HP remaining, which would recover around 1 HP per {{pdollar}}3.5 spent.
* Soda Pop may be based on {{wp|Ramune}}, a type of drink originating from Japan.

==Blurb==

Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie convince Serena to join them on their travels! She returns a handkerchief Ash lent her long ago at Pokémon Summer Camp, and he finally remembers her as the girl in the straw hat. He used his handkerchief to wrap up her knee after she hurt it in a fall at camp, and she’s kept it ever since!
They’re still reminiscing when they’re interrupted by a rumbling roar, and then see several Rhyhorn, with riders on their backs, pounding toward them! Apparently the track they’re walking along is really a Rhyhorn racecourse—and the race is in full swing! Officer Jenny takes them into Odyssey Village and shows them where the racing Rhyhorn live. She says that tomorrow, the race will be open to first-timers, and Ash is excited to enter!

He quickly realizes he doesn’t know the first thing about Rhyhorn racing—he even has trouble getting up onto Rhyhorn’s back. But Serena’s mom used to be a Rhyhorn racer, so Serena is pretty good at this stuff, and she shows him the ropes. She even shares her mom’s advice, “Be one with Rhyhorn,” which seems to help Ash get the hang of things!

The next day, it’s time for the race! Of course, the Team Rocket trio have been lurking about as usual, and they interrupt the race in an attempt to catch the racing Rhyhorn—and Pikachu, too! Ash and the other racers are tied up and unable to help, but Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie are soon on the scene! Clemont and Bonnie free the captured Rhyhorn while Serena and Fennekin hold Team Rocket at bay, and then the Rhyhorn close in to send the villains blasting off again.
Before leaving the village, Serena calls her mom to introduce her new friends and share her travel plans! Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena excitedly make preparations to head out for Cyllage City. But first, Serena has a gift for Ash! She baked some cookies to recognize his hard work, and to thank him for helping her all those years ago. There are enough cookies for everyone, so they won’t be traveling on an empty stomach as the journey continues!

==Plot==

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are departing [[Santalune City]] when he asks {{an|Serena}} where she is headed to next. She begins to ponder, before Ash asks if she wants to join them on their journey. She eventually agrees, and points out that in order to reach [[Cyllage City]], the site of the next gym, they must first travel through [[Lumiose City]].

While in the woods, Ash considers challenging the [[Lumiose Gym]] again, but {{an|Clemont}} advises him that he had just started his journey in [[Kalos]], and that he should catch a Pokémon first. While Ash begins searching, Clemont asks Serena why she decided to go on a journey; she then shows Ash a handkerchief that he gave her at [[Professor Oak]]'s Summer Camp.

At the camp, Serena gets lost in a forest, and fell after being startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, injuring her knee in the process. Scared, she admits that she didn't want to attend the camp, calls for her [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]]. Soon, the bush shakes again, as Ash spots her. Noticing Serena's injury, Ash pulls out the handkerchief, wrapping it around her knee. Calling it a good-luck charm, he states it will make the pain go away, though her knee continues to hurt. Ash tells Serena to not "give up until it's over," and helps her up, leading her out of the forest.

Giving the handkerchief back to Ash, he finally recognizes her, and asks her if the handkerchief was the reason for following him. Serena stated she wanted to see Ash again, but he had failed to recognize her beforehand. Eventually, the ground began trembling, as a group of {{p|Rhyhorn}} racers speed down the forest path. [[Officer Jenny]] appears, informing the group that they are on a Rhyhorn racing track. At the track's starting line, Ash is introduced to Rhyhorn racing, as Serena tells him that the track is basic, compared to others, prompting Ash to praise her for her knowledge. The gang parts ways with Officer Jenny at a Rhyhorn stable, and as Ash attempts to sneak onto a nearby Rhyhorn, Serena warns him against doing so, as his attempt would startle it and cause it to run; instead, he should approach it carefully. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches the group, and plot to steal the Rhyhorn due to their power, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Later, Serena and Ash change into Rhyhorn racing outfits, and Serena tells him the method to climbing onto Rhyhorn. However, Ash repeatedly falls off, and asks Serena to show him how to do so. Impressed, he then asks her how to make it run, causing Rhyhorn to knock her off. Surrounded by Rhyhorn, they begin licking her (and eventually {{an|Bonnie}}), as Serena begins to realize that Rhyhorn are actually friendly. Ash later begins riding, and asks Serena about his progress, in which she replies with similar words that her mother had told her. As a result, Serena realizes she had misjudged Rhyhorn racing.

At night, while everyone is sleeping, Serena is baking cookies, while her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} watches. She tells it to keep the cookies a secret, and hopes they taste good.

The next day, the race is set to begin, but as the {{WP|Racing flags#Green flag|green flag}} waved to start the race, Ash and Rhyhorn have a rough start, but manage to catch up to the other racers. In the woods, [[James's Inkay]] squirts ink on the cameras broadcasting the race, prompting Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Fennekin to investigate. Meanwhile, Ash wonders what happened to the other Rhyhorn, but is then snared by a net, as Pikachu and Rhyhorn get caught in a cage. Team Rocket then appears, as it is revealed that the other Rhyhorn racers are tied up, as their Rhyhorn are also locked in cages, which connect into a train. {{MTR}} then drives the train away, but is hit by {{m|Mud Shot}} from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], as Clemont shows up. Serena, Bonnie and Fennekin also appear, and Fennekin asks Serena to battle Team Rocket, to which she agrees. She orders it to use {{m|Ember}}, and the fire causes James to drop the controller that manages the train. Clemont grabs a rock and dives at the controller, destroying it and freeing Pikachu and the Rhyhorn. Surrounded, Team Rocket is charged by the Rhyhorn, and is sent blasting off, as Jenny arrives.

Ash, Clemont and Bonnie introduce themselves to Serena's mother, as Ash tells her about Serena teaching him to ride a Rhyhorn, much to Serena's dismay. Frantically, Serena tells her mother that she will be traveling with Ash and the gang, which her mother calls a wonderful experience for her. Later, Serena gives Ash a pouch, containing the cookies that she made earlier, which she says is a thank-you gift for what happened when they were younger. However, Ash continues eating, as Clemont and Bonnie scold him for eating too fast and eventually choking, but Serena also gives them pouches as well.

MyOwnBadSelf: /* Linguistic diffs */ new section

I read the plot, and a few other websites also mentioned this, but I didn't actually see the part in the beginning when Serena was training for Rhyhorn racing. Is this just me? I was watching the series preview on Cartoon Network, is this perhaps a dub edit or did they hold it back for the preview and will officially show it when this episode officially airs. --[[User:Weavilewarrior|Weavile Warrior]] ([[User talk:Weavilewarrior|talk]]) 01:48, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
:It's just you. It was there in the dub preview. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 06:10, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

== Ending Music - Help Identify Plz ==

I happened to catch this re-airing on YTV today, and on YTV they showed the ending credits without an advert (Cartoon Network was more interested in advertising another show in the original airing). The music in the credits is similar to a piece of traveling music - i.e. not from any battling - in one of the Pokémon games; a remix, if you will. Has anyone else heard it and can identify it? It might be worth noting if the music in all of the X/Y endings is different.

I do know that [[XY001]] and [[XY003]] are the same shorter version of the intro theme, however, but XY002 is decidedly different. I'll take an audio clip of it from the TV if no one else here has heard it. Also, the episodes are airing in sequence and next week goes through to [[XY007]] (Serena's joining the group and the Rhyhorn races), so I can see what themes there are on the endings for the other four if I catch them. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:53, 2 May 2014 (UTC)
: [http://www.pocketmonsters.net/episodes/viewep/1674 Pocket Monsters] may be able to help, they have a lot more in depth audio info then we do reagarding episodes. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 13:11, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

== Linguistic diffs ==

It says in the plot description that Serena has 'plasters' on her face from being thrown off Rhyhorn. Plasters or Band-Aids? It's one of those stupid British vs US English things. Would they be more likely to use one or the other in Japan? [[User:MyOwnBadSelf|MyOwnBadSelf]] ([[User talk:MyOwnBadSelf|talk]]) 02:51, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

==Plot==

Apparently I am supposed to be editing this page.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are departing [[Santalune City]] when he asks {{an|Serena}} where she is headed to next. She begins to ponder, before Ash asks if she wants to join them on their journey. She eventually agrees, and points out that in order to reach [[Cyllage City]], the site of the next gym, they must first travel through [[Lumiose City]].

While in the woods, Ash considers challenging the [[Lumiose Gym]] again, but {{an|Clemont}} advises him that he had just started his journey in [[Kalos]], and that he should catch a Pokémon first. While Ash begins searching, Clemont asks Serena why she decided to go on a journey; she then shows Ash a handkerchief that he gave her at [[Professor Oak]]'s Summer Camp.

At the camp, Serena gets lost in a forest, and fell after being startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, injuring her knee in the process. Scared, she admits that she didn't want to attend the camp, calls for her [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]]. Soon, the bush shakes again, as Ash spots her. Noticing Serena's injury, Ash pulls out the handkerchief, wrapping it around her knee. Calling it a good-luck charm, he states it will make the pain go away, though her knee continues to hurt. Ash tells Serena to not "give up until it's over," and helps her up, leading her out of the forest.

Giving the handkerchief back to Ash, he finally recognizes her, and asks her if the handkerchief was the reason for following him. Serena stated she wanted to see Ash again, but he had failed to recognize her beforehand. Eventually, the ground began trembling, as a group of {{p|Rhyhorn}} racers speed down the forest path. [[Officer Jenny]] appears, informing the group that they are on a Rhyhorn racing track. At the track's starting line, Ash is introduced to Rhyhorn racing, as Serena tells him that the track is basic, compared to others, prompting Ash to praise her for her knowledge. The gang parts ways with Officer Jenny at a Rhyhorn stable, and as Ash attempts to sneak onto a nearby Rhyhorn, Serena warns him against doing so, as his attempt would startle it and cause it to run; instead, he should approach it carefully. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches the group, and plot to steal the Rhyhorn due to their power, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Later, Serena and Ash change into Rhyhorn racing outfits, and Serena tells him the method to climbing onto Rhyhorn. However, Ash repeatedly falls off, and asks Serena to show him how to do so. Impressed, he then asks her how to make it run, causing Rhyhorn to knock her off. Surrounded by Rhyhorn, they begin licking her (and eventually {{an|Bonnie}}), as Serena begins to realize that Rhyhorn are actually friendly. Ash later begins riding, and asks Serena about his progress, in which she replies with similar words that her mother had told her. As a result, Serena realizes she had misjudged Rhyhorn racing.

At night, while everyone is sleeping, Serena is baking cookies, while her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} watches. She tells it to keep the cookies a secret, and hopes they taste good.

The next day, the race is set to begin, but as the {{WP|Racing flags#Green flag|green flag}} waved to start the race, Ash and Rhyhorn have a rough start, but manage to catch up to the other racers. In the woods, [[James's Inkay]] squirts ink on the cameras broadcasting the race, prompting Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Fennekin to investigate. Meanwhile, Ash wonders what happened to the other Rhyhorn, but is then snared by a net, as Pikachu and Rhyhorn get caught in a cage. Team Rocket then appears, as it is revealed that the other Rhyhorn racers are tied up, as their Rhyhorn are also locked in cages, which connect into a train. {{MTR}} then drives the train away, but is hit by {{m|Mud Shot}} from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], as Clemont shows up. Serena, Bonnie and Fennekin also appear, and Fennekin asks Serena to battle Team Rocket, to which she agrees. She orders it to use {{m|Ember}}, and the fire causes James to drop the controller that manages the train. Clemont grabs a rock and dives at the controller, destroying it and freeing Pikachu and the Rhyhorn. Surrounded, Team Rocket is charged by the Rhyhorn, and is sent blasting off, as Jenny arrives.

Ash, Clemont and Bonnie introduce themselves to Serena's mother, as Ash tells her about Serena teaching him to ride a Rhyhorn, much to Serena's dismay. Frantically, Serena tells her mother that she will be traveling with Ash and the gang, which her mother calls a wonderful experience for her. Later, Serena gives Ash a pouch, containing the cookies that she made earlier, which she says is a thank-you gift for what happened when they were younger. However, Ash continues eating, as Clemont and Bonnie scold him for eating too fast and eventually choking, but Serena also gives them pouches as well.

==Blurb==

Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie convince Serena to join them on their travels! She returns a handkerchief Ash lent her long ago at Pokémon Summer Camp, and he finally remembers her as the girl in the straw hat. He used his handkerchief to wrap up her knee after she hurt it in a fall at camp, and she’s kept it ever since!
They’re still reminiscing when they’re interrupted by a rumbling roar, and then see several Rhyhorn, with riders on their backs, pounding toward them! Apparently the track they’re walking along is really a Rhyhorn racecourse—and the race is in full swing! Officer Jenny takes them into Odyssey Village and shows them where the racing Rhyhorn live. She says that tomorrow, the race will be open to first-timers, and Ash is excited to enter!

He quickly realizes he doesn’t know the first thing about Rhyhorn racing—he even has trouble getting up onto Rhyhorn’s back. But Serena’s mom used to be a Rhyhorn racer, so Serena is pretty good at this stuff, and she shows him the ropes. She even shares her mom’s advice, “Be one with Rhyhorn,” which seems to help Ash get the hang of things!

The next day, it’s time for the race! Of course, the Team Rocket trio have been lurking about as usual, and they interrupt the race in an attempt to catch the racing Rhyhorn—and Pikachu, too! Ash and the other racers are tied up and unable to help, but Clemont, Serena, and Bonnie are soon on the scene! Clemont and Bonnie free the captured Rhyhorn while Serena and Fennekin hold Team Rocket at bay, and then the Rhyhorn close in to send the villains blasting off again.
Before leaving the village, Serena calls her mom to introduce her new friends and share her travel plans! Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena excitedly make preparations to head out for Cyllage City. But first, Serena has a gift for Ash! She baked some cookies to recognize his hard work, and to thank him for helping her all those years ago. There are enough cookies for everyone, so they won’t be traveling on an empty stomach as the journey continues!

==Plot==

Apparently I am supposed to be editing this page.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} are departing [[Santalune City]] when he asks {{an|Serena}} where she is headed to next. She begins to ponder, before Ash asks if she wants to join them on their journey. She eventually agrees, and points out that in order to reach [[Cyllage City]], the site of the next gym, they must first travel through [[Lumiose City]].

While in the woods, Ash considers challenging the [[Lumiose Gym]] again, but {{an|Clemont}} advises him that he had just started his journey in [[Kalos]], and that he should catch a Pokémon first. While Ash begins searching, Clemont asks Serena why she decided to go on a journey; she then shows Ash a handkerchief that he gave her at [[Professor Oak]]'s Summer Camp.

At the camp, Serena gets lost in a forest, and fell after being startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, injuring her knee in the process. Scared, she admits that she didn't want to attend the camp, calls for her [[Grace (Kalos)|mother]]. Soon, the bush shakes again, as Ash spots her. Noticing Serena's injury, Ash pulls out the handkerchief, wrapping it around her knee. Calling it a good-luck charm, he states it will make the pain go away, though her knee continues to hurt. Ash tells Serena to not "give up until it's over," and helps her up, leading her out of the forest.

Giving the handkerchief back to Ash, he finally recognizes her, and asks her if the handkerchief was the reason for following him. Serena stated she wanted to see Ash again, but he had failed to recognize her beforehand. Eventually, the ground began trembling, as a group of {{p|Rhyhorn}} racers speed down the forest path. [[Officer Jenny]] appears, informing the group that they are on a Rhyhorn racing track. At the track's starting line, Ash is introduced to Rhyhorn racing, as Serena tells him that the track is basic, compared to others, prompting Ash to praise her for her knowledge. The gang parts ways with Officer Jenny at a Rhyhorn stable, and as Ash attempts to sneak onto a nearby Rhyhorn, Serena warns him against doing so, as his attempt would startle it and cause it to run; instead, he should approach it carefully. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} watches the group, and plot to steal the Rhyhorn due to their power, along with {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Later, Serena and Ash change into Rhyhorn racing outfits, and Serena tells him the method to climbing onto Rhyhorn. However, Ash repeatedly falls off, and asks Serena to show him how to do so. Impressed, he then asks her how to make it run, causing Rhyhorn to knock her off. Surrounded by Rhyhorn, they begin licking her (and eventually {{an|Bonnie}}), as Serena begins to realize that Rhyhorn are actually friendly. Ash later begins riding, and asks Serena about his progress, in which she replies with similar words that her mother had told her. As a result, Serena realizes she had misjudged Rhyhorn racing.

At night, while everyone is sleeping, Serena is baking cookies, while her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} watches. She tells it to keep the cookies a secret, and hopes they taste good.

The next day, the race is set to begin, but as the {{WP|Racing flags#Green flag|green flag}} waved to start the race, Ash and Rhyhorn have a rough start, but manage to catch up to the other racers. In the woods, [[James's Inkay]] squirts ink on the cameras broadcasting the race, prompting Serena, Clemont, Bonnie and Fennekin to investigate. Meanwhile, Ash wonders what happened to the other Rhyhorn, but is then snared by a net, as Pikachu and Rhyhorn get caught in a cage. Team Rocket then appears, as it is revealed that the other Rhyhorn racers are tied up, as their Rhyhorn are also locked in cages, which connect into a train. {{MTR}} then drives the train away, but is hit by {{m|Mud Shot}} from [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], as Clemont shows up. Serena, Bonnie and Fennekin also appear, and Fennekin asks Serena to battle Team Rocket, to which she agrees. She orders it to use {{m|Ember}}, and the fire causes James to drop the controller that manages the train. Clemont grabs a rock and dives at the controller, destroying it and freeing Pikachu and the Rhyhorn. Surrounded, Team Rocket is charged by the Rhyhorn, and is sent blasting off, as Jenny arrives.

Ash, Clemont and Bonnie introduce themselves to Serena's mother, as Ash tells her about Serena teaching him to ride a Rhyhorn, much to Serena's dismay. Frantically, Serena tells her mother that she will be traveling with Ash and the gang, which her mother calls a wonderful experience for her. Later, Serena gives Ash a pouch, containing the cookies that she made earlier, which she says is a thank-you gift for what happened when they were younger. However, Ash continues eating, as Clemont and Bonnie scold him for eating too fast and eventually choking, but Serena also gives them pouches as well.

== Party change spoilers ==
[[File:M18 Pikachu the Movie poster.png|thumb]]
So, the new poster seems to have the main characters Pokémon, with some changes to the lineup. Evolutions (Serena's Fennekin, Clemont's Luxio and Jessie's Pumpkaboo) and some new Pokémon (Florges, Noivern, Gothita and a Snorlax). Should the pages for the possible evolutions be protected, or isn't this enough evidence? ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 11:36, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:Personally, since the movie won't be due until over 8 months from now, I'd like to refrain from protecting Fennekin, Luxio, and Pumpkaboo. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:09, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

:There's actually 13 Legendary Pokémon and 2 Mythical Pokémon; [[M13]] has 13 Legendary Pokémon and 1 Mythical Pokémon counting Pokémon in the intro (15 Legendary Pokémon if you count the Dialga/Palkia statues in the ending). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:48, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

==Glaciate==
Kyurem actually did use Glaciate. On here, it says Glaciate is a more powerful version of Icy Wind. Kyurem blew a wind at Ash before he attacked with Dragon Pulse. I believe the blast of wind was Glaciate. {{unsigned|Yveltal-Lugia}}

== Brawly's Hariyama's gender ==

This has been bugging me for a while. Was Hariyama's gender confirmed to be male officially in Pokémon Adventures? I saw it placed on its own article and on Brawly's page before it disappeared/got removed. Not saying that you did it or anything, I was just asking you as you may know about this. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

== BW090 ENG dub and Jessie's Wobbuffet's gender ==
They didn't feature the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in the English dub for an unknown reason. I know Garchomp was chose to this one, just like in Japan, but I can't edit it until they show it again in future airings. It's [[Garchomp]] for sure! Even if they show it again, I swear it'll be a Garchomp. And Jessie's Wobbuffet is a male, I discovered its gender, it doesn't wearing a lipstick on its mouth. Pikachu65 14:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
:That doesn't confirm anything. Wobbuffet existed before Gender differences. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 14:57, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Right. It does make sense. Pikachu65 15:43, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

== Walker ==

Is it absolutely confirmed Walker is Falkner's father in Spe? And where, if yes? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 17:20, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
:Volume 42's character section. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 13:30, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
== Trivia on {{m|Giga Drain}} ==
Why isn't the fact that [[Paul]] is the only one who has commanded the use of Giga Drain notable in Paul's page or the Giga Drain page? [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 13:23, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:Because it isn't notable at all. Pointing out that only one person's Pokemon has used a move is unnecessary. He's not even the only one to do that. Nurse Joy's the only Trainer with a Pokemon to use Minimize, but it's not on the trivia. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 13:30, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
::I don't see the point in not putting it. I agree, it's not vitally important, but it is a fact and deserves to be known by others. Until you give me a good enough reason why it should not be included, I will not drop the subject. That includes Nurse Joy's using {{m|Minimize}}. [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 14:45, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:::It's redundant. There is no point stating in the trivia section information which becomes obvious when looking at the list of Pokémon that have used the move in the anime. If we allowed this kind of trivia, the trivia sections would be twice as long as the rest of the article and no-one would read them because of that. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:37, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
::::I guess that makes sense..... I had never seen that list before anyway. And Ataro, you could have just told me that instead. [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 19:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== Minor request ==

Hey Ataro, I saw from your tags that you're a Pokémon Colosseum/Pokémon XD/Generation III/Generation IV/Generation V player. I would like to request something relevant to the [[Poké Transfer]] page... currently, the location data for Pokémon from Orre is empty... I'm pretty sure it's "a faraway place" as seen in Pal Park, but could you confirm that this is also the case for Poké Transfer? Thanks in advance!! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:17, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
:Correction: "distant land". I'm thinking of something else. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
::Sorry... one final thing. I'm also curious about how {{m|Nature Power}} and {{m|Camouflage}} would work in Pokémon XD and Colosseum... and I might have more questions later but seriously, thanks so much!! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 16:28, 18 January 2013 (UTC)

== Volume 15 cover ==

Okay I really don't want to get into any arguments, and especially no edit wars. Why did you delete the picture I uploaded onto the Volume 15 page? That's the recently released Volume 15 cover from Viz and this site uses Viz's cover for the page pictures over all others. [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 02:29, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
:Because I already uploaded that pic two days ago. It may not look like here on the Pedia, but that's because it takes a while for it to change here. Check on the Archives to see it. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:33, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

== Al and Harry controversy ==

Okay let's not get into any edit wars here and try to solve this out (I was confused too when I saw what I did). The ponytail guy serves under Koga because he uses poison-types in Yellow and GSC chapter and he captured Articuno for Koga to use. The non-ponytail guy uses psychic types in Yellow and GSC and he controlled Moltres which was Sabrina's bird. The thing that confused me and it looks like it's confusing you too is how ponytail seems to be controlling Girafarig in GSC. But look again at the Yellow chapter where the Elite trio appeared and look at the flow chart where it depicts those three serving under the gym leaders. Ponytail dude is shown with Koga and the other dude is shown with Sabrina. I checked with the guys on Serebii forum and we came to the conclusion that the writers made a big mistake by switching Al and Harry between Yellow and GSC and they sorta cleared it up on the official site by not really giving Girafarig a definite owner. Oh and let me point out that your edit on the TRET page makes a contradiction. It lists ponytail guy as having the Pokemon that the non-ponytail guy had in the Moltres chapter. Look closely. Do you see what I'm saying? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 06:00, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
: Here's the link to the forum topic that I posted a couple months ago. See if it helps you understand what I'm saying. http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?590625-Volume10-Owner-of-Girafarig [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 06:05, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
:: Look, I don't know what Kusaka is doing, but what I do know is that [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v103/Coronis/GioPryce_zpsc930b9de.jpg this page] quite explicitly states that dark hair = Ken, spiky hair = Al, and ponytail = Harry. [http://jb2448.info/var/albums/Japanese/Pocket_Monsters_SPECIAL_Volume_10/Pokemon_Special_v10_184.jpg?m=1298183717 Same for their original name revealing.] Something needs fixing. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 07:08, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
::: Yes I know that ponytail is Harry and spiky hair is Al. But what I'm saying is that it looks like Kusaka might have switched Al and Harry in the GSC chapter because Al is using poison-types and Harry is using psychic-types. And you're listing Harry's Pokemon in the RBG chapter under Al's profile and vice-versa. [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] ([[User talk:Arceus101|talk]]) 18:04, 27 January 2013 (UTC)

== Question regarding merchandise articles ==

I had been planning to make an article concerning Bandai's D-Arts line of highly-articulated Pokémon collectibles, which would require the uploading of images. Will my account work on the Archives, or do I need to make a separate account? Also, as I am a stickler for image sourcing and licensing, what is the image policy regarding the upload of promotional images? Is there a sourcing template? If not, I intend to list the source of any image I upload in some fashion similar to what I am used to on Wookieepedia, and I would like to know if such sourcing is permissible.

Also, when adding citations and references to articles, as I had not been able to find an example, do you use the {{tl|reflist}} template? Or do you have a different referencing protocol?

In regards to a product article, I had seen various examples, but they were short and vague, with only a few articles going into any sort of specific product detail. What I intend to cover in the article are details concerning product release and distribution, price range, and some details on the figures themselves, mainly the articulation. As I only own one of the figures, the primary example for most of those details will be the Mewtwo figure. Any details concerning the Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur figures will be gleaned from product descriptions on Amazon, and through my various sources. Is there a specific format for merchandise articles? SnorlaxMonster said that there was not, and most articles that I've seen follow only a basic format of short description, followed by a gallery.

I wish to double-check this before I begin drafting up the article, as I want to make sure that I am doing it correctly. Thanks. [[User:Trak Nar|Trak Nar]] ([[User talk:Trak Nar|talk]]) 19:03, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

I see you undid my edits regarding a deeper description of the Mega stones. Now here's the thing: did you do that because the in-game description didn't show up, or just because? I'm asking this due to the fact that I actualy wrote the missing parameter, but as I specified after on [[Talk:Mega Stone|the talk page]], it didn't show up because of the fact that the template is outdated, while asking the staff to update it.

== GRT's English titles ==

I had no idea where those English titles came from tbh, since they're not in the volume.

== Possible error ==

In the VIZ translation of [[PS218]] while Ruby explains his mix-up between Wally yand Wanda, he says "She looks so much like him. And '''she''' wasn't wearing glasses either...". Is this an error?

I heard that sometimes, when TV airs BW episodes, some scene includes some animation errors that cannot be corrected. But some of them can be corrected on Japanese DVD releases, like animation errors, glitched, backgrounds and chaacter designs.

Blindly removing a message on a talk page because it is in reply to an old comment is not the correct way to follow the {{bp|talk page policy}}. The comment made on [[Talk:Fiery Dance (move)]] was answering a question on the talk page that was never answered. To quote the talk page policy, replies to talk page comments are perfectly fine when an "old conversation is still relevant".

== Suicune's gender ==

I got Suicune's gender [[PS122|here]] under the trivia/errors section of the page when I edited {{adv|Crystal}}'s page, incase you were curious.

== Concerning the new reveals ==

Just a quick note/input about this influx of new information (the Mega-Hoenn starters and whatnot). While yes, the sites that are reporting them first are all other fan sites, the primary source for this information is a pile of scans directly from CoroCoro. Given that, I'd say it's safe to say this information is legitimate, since they're about as a legitimate of a source as the official Pokémon YouTube channel that first revealed ORAS.

== Discussion about Looker's Origin ==

I wish to discuss the edit that was reversed about Looker's origin. I have already written out my response to this reversal on the Looker talk page, which I will copy and paste here for your convenience

'I wish to bring up this topic on the origin of Looker, as I believe that this theory has quite a few valid points and believed by quite a few people. As I wrote in the edit, Looker shares many qualities to David Tennant's Doctor. They both share a very similar attire, their profile's look almost identical having the same hairstyle and even eye color. They both believe violence is never the best option, and Looker's International Police badge (from the anime) could very easily be Psychic paper. Looker owns a Croagunk, which matches the color of The Doctor's TARDIS. Lastly, David Tennant's Doctor was first shown on Television in 2005, Platinum being released However, that the current 'Character Origin' is still a speculation. So why doesn't this theory, of which I believe I have given enough proof, not allowed to exist on a community-driven board. As the Actual origin has not been announced by any Nintendo/Game Freak official, why can't this theory hold the same weight? So, I am asking any staff member, please re-consider removing this part of the character Origin.'

:Do you see those boxes on the bottom of the edit page? One says "Watch this page". I don't know why, but it seems that they are now automatically checked, meaning every edit adds the page to your watchlist. This is stupid and I don't know why it does that now.

Also another problem I have is the [[List of rounds in the fifth chapter of Pokémon Adventures]] page. Since there had previously been no english titles and that stuff is in invisible code, if I drop it now it would screw up the template.

== Discussion for the future evolution ==

Well, it is a dilemma for the move of [[Ash's Fletchinder]]. IMO, the early move is an actual wrong decision for the readers who did not watch the movie. Despite this scenario would unlikely happened, it must be prevented again. [[User:KyleRGiggs|Raymond]] 10:06, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

==Heads up==
Now that the final round for Black and White has been confirmed and after observing the remaining rounds after this month's release it looks like by continuing the three chapter format then the February release aka Volume 20 will be the final mini-volume. With only 9 rounds left it is fairly obvious, but I won't add this in right now to avoid any speculation but at this point it wouldn't matter or not. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 00:41, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

== Bo's Flamethrower ==

[[Bo]]'s page mentions that it used {{m|Flamethrower}} but Flamethrower's page doesn't have it listed. I don't have the complete series of Black and White so I won't be able to confirm if Bo used Flamethrower. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:25, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

== Pangoro's Scrappy in XY011 ==

I originally thought it was a mistake when I first saw ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'' because under normal circumstances, Hammer Arm would have had no effect on Pumpkaboo. When I checked Pangoro's Abilities, I noticed that it had Scrappy as its Hidden Ability, which meant that this bit wasn't a mistake after all. Since it didn't show any traits that would have suggested that its Ability might have been Iron Fist or Mold Breaker, I figured that that particular Pangoro had Scrappy as its Ability. When I asked on the episode's talk page when it first aired if Scrappy being used for the first time in the anime was trivia worthy, no one even bothered to answer it. Since no one said no within the time given, I assumed it was alright to put it up. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 20:41, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

== {{p|Hoopa}}'s height ==

You added Hoopa Unbound's height as 21'04", when its metric height is 6.4 meters, which actually converts to nearer to 21' (0"). For reference, {{p|Gyarados}} is 6.5 meters/21'04". Can I inquire where you got "''21'04"''" then? I can't but think either that or its metric height is in error.

==Pokemon Adventures question==
For the final Black and White Chapter ([[PS524]]) that was released in today's volume the chapter only goes as far as when N is leaving the Pokémon League before it ends. I don't know if this is because of it being part of the magazine run or is a VIZ edit (which I doubt will be present during their run of the regular volumes). Could you help me out on this for the purpose of trivia addition? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:43, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

== Ash's Hawlucha ==

How is it unfair? Just because the show isn't over doesn't ignore the fact that [[Ash's Hawlucha]] hasn't learned a new move ever since joining {{Ash}}'s party. Since joining Ash's party, {{AP|Frogadier}} used {{m|Bubble}} and {{m|Pound}}, and learned {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Cut}}, and {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{AP|Fletchinder}} used {{m|Steel Wing}} and learned {{m|Flame Charge}}, and {{AP|Sliggoo}} learned {{m|Dragon Breath}}. Hawlucha, however, is the only one that Ash caught in Kalos that hasn't learned any new moves. {{AP|Pikachu}} doesn't count because he was acquired in Kanto. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:07, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

== Changes ==

I've made some minor changes to this section, if anyone's interested:

1) Removed the following from the first paragraph:

"many of these points have been debated and anti-Palletshippers call them off as nothing. However Palletshippers have strong beliefs that these are valid proof of the ship."

The first sentence seems like a biased statement. None of the other shipping articles I've checked have something like this, and I'm sure the same sort of debating and labeling has been done with other ships, so there is little use of mentioning it only in the Palletshipping article. The second sentence just seems redundant.

2) Edited the following, also from the first paragraph:

"The following list of summaries of scene in episodes of the Pokémon Anime that Palletshippers believe to be valid proof of a possible romantic relationship between Gary and Ash."

It seemed really jumbled.

3) Changed 'cradles' in the picture caption to 'holds.'

4) Read through the article and made any grammar, punctuation, etc. changes that I felt were appropriate.

'''EDIT (11/30/07):'''

Added External Links and a link to the BMGf thread, and removed the stub tag.

'''EDIT (12/6/07):'''

Removed the following from the Alternate Names section:

"FoeShipper: Very uncommon. Probably not in use at all.

GakiShipping: ''Gaki'', in Japanese, is a rude way to refer to a kid, like ''Twerp''."

I've been a Palletshipper since about the year 2000, and neither of these have been used on the English sites or message boards I've visited. Additionally, the term Gakishipping has traditionally referred to Pokeshipping, and its newer function ("to describe the actual shipper, and is now used only in an insulting manner towards shippers (Not necessarily just PokéShippers) who use flimsy evidence to support their position, or otherwise act childish") could be applied to any ship to some degree, making it pointless to have the term on the Palletshipping page but not every other shipping page.

'''12/8/07:'''

The Stub tag is back, though I'm not sure why. Bulbapedia's "manual" says this:

"A stub is a very short article, often a paragraph or less, containing an insufficient amount of information....If you saw that message on the article, but the article is developed well beyond stub status, please feel free to remove the tag. If the article is much longer than a stub but still incomplete, rather than marking it as a stub, please add this template to the start of the article: [incomplete]."

The Palletshipping article takes up many paragraphs, so it's definitely not "very short." In my opinion, it also has sufficient information (with the basic info, hints, alternate names, and links, it's one of the longer and more informative shipping articles I've seen). As the manual says you can remove Stab tags when the article is much more than a Stub, I removed the tag. But if it still seems incomplete to other people, maybe we can put in an [incomplete] tag instead?

== Slash vs Ship ==

Maybe it's just the Stargate fandom, but I always thought a "ship" described a heterosexual relationship, and "slash" was used for homosexual relationships. I have no idea where "slash" comes from, I've just seen it used alot. So should this be PalletSlashing?

That sounds awkward. Both the name and ship itself.[[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 16:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

:In the majority of the Internets, 'shipping' is relative to ALL romantic pairings, big, small, two people or ten, mostly in relation to the couple itself. 'Slash' is simply the sub-term for the male homosexual relationships in the romance genre (femslash is the female equivalent), like 'Het' is the sub-term for heterosexual romance. For example, I love slash, I don't mind het, I never could write femslash and feel bad for it, and I 'ship Morty/Falkner/Will/Whitney in various forms thereof.

== Gamewise ==

Considering this shipping also can refer to RedxBlue,could this shipping name also be used for LeafxBlue(BluexLeaf)? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 23:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:No. Palletshipping is strictly the characters Ash/Gary, and...games shouldn't count. The characters are not interchangable. Crud. *edits* [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 03:01, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
