== Time Limit? ==

Does anyone know how long is the time limit? - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Pokéboy93}} ([[User talk:Pokéboy93|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Pokéboy93|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''
:The Time limit is 20 minutes! {{template:unsigned|Evandeck}}
== Special Mew Room ==

Does anyone have more info about the Mew room? Do you just randomly enter a different room every time and the Mew room is one of those rooms? Oh, and what exactly happened on the December day?--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 10:16, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

== Player Sprites ==

I don't know very good the Wi-Fi Plaza, and i'm curious: why and how the other players use sprites of different trainer classes? --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] 20:48, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

== Do we want to document VIPs? ==

While researching the protocol, and re-implementing the Wi-Fi plaza's I've noticed an API called `getVIP.asp` that the games call. If a user is marked as a VIP then they enter the room with a level 3 toy automatically, and their trainer card becomes a gold color. I've never seen any documentation that anyone actually had this special trainer cards, and in all the dumps we still have of the Wi-Fi plaza all of them seem to return 0 VIPs. Should we add in documentation, and pictures about the fact there were features that a player probably never saw, and it's differences on this page? If so I'm happy to provide all the documentation, and images. {{unsigned|Mythra}}
:Sure, can't see why not. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:55, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

== "Arceus Flag" Footprint information ==

Since this page was recently edited to remove my poor wording of documenting the "Arceus Flag", I wanted to help clarify the Arceus flag, and footprint information. I've been working on restoring these rooms so they can be properly researched, and carved out a lot of incorrect information. I understand how the "Arceus Flag" seems dubious as I haven't seen it talked about anywhere before, but here are some recordings taken today April 9th, 2023 to clarify this flag. As well as correct the "favorite type" correlation being incorrect.

1. This first video, is a room being served with the "Arceus Flag" set, as you can see I check my party and Arceus is in slot 4, later on after choosing psychic as my favorite color, and on the board I get a blue color, with a green "Wi-Fi" symbol, even though arceus has a footprint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wJzJUjwEgk
- This flag is always set right now in the open source versions of pokemon classic network where you can see these rooms for yourself. If you have an arceus you should be able to see this flag on.
- Pokemon Classic got it's room responses from the official services while they were still online, and these had the arceus flag set: https://github.com/mm201/pkmn-classic-framework/issues/46
- So we know at least "some" rooms got this treatment. It is unclear if this was on for all rooms, or just some while the service was active.
2. This second video is the exact same game, and save file being served the same room sans for the "Arceus Flag" not being set. I choose fire as my favorite color, and on the board I get a blue color again (thus showing favorite types do not affect this color choice), and arceus footprint is just a knub: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRXZvApT10s
- It's special green color is also gone.

Wi-Fi Plaza

2023-04-09T22:25:39Z

Mythra: correct "footprint color" information, and restore poorly worded incorrectly identified as "dubious" information

[[File:Pt Wifi Plaza.png|thumb|right|300px|Wi-Fi Plaza]]
The '''Wi-Fi Plaza''' (Japanese: '''Wi-Fiひろば''' ''Wi-Fi Plaza'') is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} found beneath most [[Pokémon Center]]s, downstairs in the Pokémon Center basement and a replacement for the [[Joyful Game Corner]] found in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]. Players from around the world can enter a plaza-like area to play mini-games together via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players in the plaza. The Wi-Fi Plaza utilizes the [[Nintendo DS|DS]]'s touchscreen, allowing interaction when playing mini-games or playing with tap toys to generate sounds.

In the Wi-Fi Plaza, there are five different type-based rooms that feature certain Pokémon of that type. One of the five rooms is pre-selected randomly before entering the plaza; these rooms don't affect mini-games and other features, but do provide aesthetic differences such as background color and featured Pokémon. The five different types are {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and a rare, secret {{p|Mew}}-themed room.

Groups of up to 20 players can enter the same Wi-Fi Plaza room at one time. When a player first connects, the Wi-Fi service would place the player in either a room that was created recently and didn't have the maximum amount of players or would generate a new room that would be open anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. Three minutes before the room is closed, the lights dim and fireworks start going off, signaling that the room is closing and that a parade is about to start. When the parade starts shortly after, players can then get a ride on a Pokémon float to go out of the plaza. If they don't get a ride by the time the parade ends, they will just exit as though they were disconnecting from Wi-Fi. Alternatively, if a player doesn't want to wait for the room to close, they can exit at anytime by taking the portal where they entered. Players may enter again after a short time has passed to get into a different room, but they can only do this a couple times a day. Much like the [[Global Terminal]] and the {{si|Battle Tower}}, you do not need to add someone as a friend in your [[Pal Pad]] to play with them.

==Minigames==
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Wifi Plaza.png|thumb|left|Inside the Wi-Fi Plaza Fire Room in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
There are three mini-games available on the left side of the plaza. Each game can allow up to four players to play. At the game's entrance, the player selects "Join" to join the game and puts out an invitation to other idle players. Once four players have joined, or if at least two players have joined within the time limit, the mini-game will start. If a player wins a game or obtains the most points, their Tap Toy will be upgraded a level if it is not already level three.

===Swalot Plop===
[[File:Swalot Plop.png|thumb|right|Swalot Plop]]
''"Toss Berries into the mouth of a rotating <sc>Swalot</sc>."''

'''Swalot Plop''' (Japanese: '''ばくばくマルノーム''' ''Chomp-Chomp Marunoom'') is a game played on a big {{p|Swalot}}-shaped machine which utilizes more of the game's 3D capabilities. Players toss little, round [[Berry|Berries]] into the machine's mouth using the touch screen. The rotating Swalot swallows the Berries and spits them out later. The player obtaining the most points gets their Tap Toy upgraded. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four players can play.

In the Swalot Plop, there will be 2 rounds every game, the first round will give the player a normal score, while the second round will give a higher score than the first. During the first round, every player will get 100 points for every thrown Berry they get in the Swalot's mouth. The player's score will get another 100 per consecutive Berry tossed in, with a maximum of 300. For example, 2 consecutive Berries equals 200 points, while 6 consecutive Berries will equal 300 points. If the player fails to shoot a Berry into the machine's mouth, the scoring will reset and go back to 100 per Berry.

During the second round, the game will remain the same, but the Swalot will spin while closing and opening its mouth, making it harder to throw the Berries in. During the second round, every player will get 300 points for every thrown Berry they get in the Swalot-shaped machine's mouth. The player's score will get another 300 points per consecutive Berry tossed in, and this time the maximum is 900. For example, 2 consecutive Berries equals 600 points, while 6 consecutive Berries will equal 900 points. If the player fails to shoot a Berry into the machine's mouth, the scoring will reset and go back to 300 points per Berry.

===Mime Jr. Top===
[[File:Mime Jr. Top.png|thumb|left|Mime Jr. Top]]
''"Roll the ball to keep <sc>Mime Jr.</sc> balanced on it."''

'''Mime Jr. Top''' (Japanese: '''ころころマネネ''' ''Roll-Roll Manene'') is another minigame that uses more of the DS's touch screen capabilities. It features four {{p|Mime Jr.}} balancing on circus balls. Players must try to keep their Mime Jr. on the ball using the stylus. The longer it stays on the ball, the more points the player receives. If a player's Mime Jr. stays on the ball the longest, that player wins the game. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four players can play.

Using the DS's touchscreen, the player must balance on top of a giant circus ball by spinning the balls at different angles so Mime Jr. doesn't fall off. The touch screen will display the player's Mime Jr. and circus ball, while the top screen will display other players' Mime Jr. and circus balls. The circus balls will be colored differently to distinguish between players.

The longer the player stays on the circus ball the higher score the player will get. It is much like a combo
system of multiplication. For every time the ball shines on the player, they will get 100 points and for the next time the player will get 200 points, then 600 points, and so on. The maximum score a player can receive is 100,000 points.

===Wobbuffet Pop===
[[File:Wobbuffet Pop.png|thumb|right|Wobbuffet Pop]]
''"Press the <sc>Wobbuffet</sc> pump and pop balloons with the other players."''

'''Wobbuffet Pop''' (Japanese: '''どんどんソーナンス''' ''Quick-Quick Sonans'') is a mini-game using the touch screen to pump up balloons by a {{p|Wobbuffet}}-shaped pump. Balloons are pumped with the stylus up and down to earn points. Some {{p|Wynaut}} on the top screen will make it harder for the player to pump balloons. When ten balloons are popped, all players will get the Tap Toy upgrade. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four player can play.

The touch screen will display the player's pump, shaped like a big Wobbuffet, that can be touched to pump the balloons that appear on the top screen. The top screen will also display the other players pumps, and the field, where other {{p|Wynaut}} obstacles bounce. The pumps will be colored different colors to distinguish between players.

This is the only game which other players work together as a team, and the only game where everyone can get a Tap Toy upgrade at the same time.

==Other features==
===Footprint panels===
There are two long tables on the right side of the plaza, that several people can get access to. Here, players can choose up to 6 footprints to place on the table. Once players have selected their footprint, they can touch the canvas and start coloring it with footprints. The footprints themselves are determined by the footprints of the Pokémon in the player's [[party]]. If a Pokémon in the player's party does not have a footprint, it will have the Wi-Fi symbol in the slot where the Pokémon's footprint would be. A party that isn't full or [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]] will simply have those slots displayed as empty. However, it is known in at least some rooms, players with {{p|Arceus}}, would have the {{p|Arceus}} footprint replaced with a Wi-Fi symbol which would be a separate color than the players normal color. A few seconds after being placed, the footprints will fade. Each kind of footprint exits in a different way. When enough footprints are placed on the board at once, usually requiring multiple people, the board is cleared in a special way, such as the prints growing and fading away, or the board rotating and clearing all footprints. The color being chosen for the player has no correlation to the favorite types a person chooses when they enter the Wi-Fi plaza. Instead it is roughly-based on the order the player entered the table.

===Visitor profiles===
There is a globe on the lower right side of the Wi-Fi Plaza. This is so players can see exactly where everyone else in the room is from, providing they have implemented their location in the [[Global Terminal]].

In addition, by pressing ''X'' or ''Start'', something similar to a Trainer card can be seen. It shows the player's last actions, including the people they talked to and the games they have played recently. It also shows their current Tap Toy.

===General inquiries counter===
This is found at the center, in front of Plaza News. Here, players may ask people questions about the Wi-Fi Plaza. The general inquiries counter can give information regarding any of the Wi-Fi Plaza features.

Upon entering, players are asked to choose up to two types. Players may choose only one or even none though.

===Plaza Survey===
Every week, there is a question found on a machine in the center of a plaza, tied to a balloon. These surveys have several choices and players must choose one only. Results of the latest survey topic are shown near closing time while results of the week before can be seen at once. These surveys change every week, but can be answered everyday.

===Plaza News===
This is the big machine found at the center of the plaza, to the Plaza Survey's right. It shows the time left before closing time, the number of people connected and the latest survey topic when it's near closing time.

==Tap Toys==
[[File:Tap Toys.jpg|thumb|right|A Level 1 Balloon]]
Tap Toys are given upon entering the plaza and are controlled on the touch screen. These Tap Toys are given out randomly, while entering the room. They create effects when touched from the touch screen such as sounds and motions. They can also be exchanged or copied from other players when they are not playing any games or doing anything else. For example the bell, once tapped, will create a sound of bell that everyone in the room that are near the player will hear it. Or by touching the balloon, the player will be able to float in the air for a period of time. They are upgraded when one wins in a mini-game. This can occur a maximum of two times per toy as the maximum level is 3. Some Tap Toys include:

* Balloons
* Bells
* Cymbals
* Signal
* Sparkle
* Popper
* Ripple
* Whirl
* Drum

==Rooms==
{{incomplete|section|Needs complete layout maps of the rooms}}
In the Wi-Fi Plaza, there are five different type-based rooms, that feature certain Pokémon of that type. One of the five rooms is pre-selected randomly before entering the plaza, these rooms do not affect mini-games and other features, but do provide aesthetic differences such as background color and featured Pokémon. The five different type are {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and a rare, secret {{p|Mew}}-themed room. Every time a player wants to enter the plaza, they are sent to a random room featuring certain Pokémon. Until December 17, 2008 (Japan) and starting March 26, 2009 (U.S.), players entering Wi-Fi Plaza had a high chance of entering a {{p|Mew}}-themed room with Mew statues, Mew tail lamps, and a Mew float at the exit. This room is still available afterward, although the chances are lower.

===Closing time===
When the room is about to close, the background lights will dim and the room will become darker, then different colored lights around the room will begin to illuminate the plaza. This will be the first sign that the plaza's time is running out. Soon after, when time is running out, a fireworks display from all around the room will go off. Everyone must exit through the floats, found in the room. Certain Pokémon are featured in the floats going out as well. Similar to the Tap Toys, a button is available at the bottom screen upon boarding a float. The button makes the float do certain things, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} releasing its vines, {{p|Charizard}} breathing fire, {{p|Carnivine}} opening its mouth, {{p|Magnezone}} releasing electricity and several others who just move their body.

==Trivia==
* Two of the mini-games feature [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} while another, {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, is featured in one of the floats.
* Most of the featured Pokémon are unavailable in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].
* The size of Swalot's barbels indicates that it is female.

Wi-Fi Plaza

2023-03-12T20:19:29Z

Mythra: Update information from my discoveries as I've started re-implementing this room.

[[File:Pt Wifi Plaza.png|thumb|right|300px|Wi-Fi Plaza]]
The '''Wi-Fi Plaza''' (Japanese: '''Wi-Fiひろば''' ''Wi-Fi Plaza'') is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} found beneath most [[Pokémon Center]]s, downstairs in the Pokémon Center basement and a replacement for the [[Joyful Game Corner]] found in [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]. Players from around the world can enter a plaza-like area to play mini-games together via Nintendo Wi-Fi. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players in the plaza. The Wi-Fi Plaza utilizes the [[Nintendo DS|DS]]'s touchscreen, allowing interaction when playing mini-games or playing with tap toys to generate sounds.

In the Wi-Fi Plaza, there are five different type-based rooms that feature certain Pokémon of that type. One of the five rooms is pre-selected randomly before entering the plaza; these rooms don't affect mini-games and other features, but do provide aesthetic differences such as background color and featured Pokémon. The five different types are {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and a rare, secret {{p|Mew}}-themed room.

Groups of up to 20 players can enter the same Wi-Fi Plaza room at one time. When a player first connects, the Wi-Fi service would place the player in either a room that was created recently and didn't have the maximum amount of players or would generate a new room that would be open anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. Three minutes before the room is closed, the lights dim and fireworks start going off, signaling that the room is closing and that a parade is about to start. When the parade starts shortly after, players can then get a ride on a Pokémon float to go out of the plaza. If they don't get a ride by the time the parade ends, they will just exit as though they were disconnecting from Wi-Fi. Alternatively, if a player doesn't want to wait for the room to close, they can exit at anytime by taking the portal where they entered. Players may enter again after a short time has passed to get into a different room, but they can only do this a couple times a day. Much like the [[Global Terminal]] and the {{si|Battle Tower}}, you do not need to add someone as a friend in your [[Pal Pad]] to play with them.

==Minigames==
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Wifi Plaza.png|thumb|left|Inside the Wi-Fi Plaza Fire Room in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
There are three mini-games available on the left side of the plaza. Each game can allow up to four players to play. At the game's entrance, the player selects "Join" to join the game and puts out an invitation to other idle players. Once four players have joined, or if at least two players have joined within the time limit, the mini-game will start. If a player wins a game or obtains the most points, their Tap Toy will be upgraded a level if it is not already level three.

===Swalot Plop===
[[File:Swalot Plop.png|thumb|right|Swalot Plop]]
''"Toss Berries into the mouth of a rotating <sc>Swalot</sc>."''

'''Swalot Plop''' (Japanese: '''ばくばくマルノーム''' ''Chomp-Chomp Marunoom'') is a game played on a big {{p|Swalot}}-shaped machine which utilizes more of the game's 3D capabilities. Players toss little, round [[Berry|Berries]] into the machine's mouth using the touch screen. The rotating Swalot swallows the Berries and spits them out later. The player obtaining the most points gets their Tap Toy upgraded. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four players can play.

In the Swalot Plop, there will be 2 rounds every game, the first round will give the player a normal score, while the second round will give a higher score than the first. During the first round, every player will get 100 points for every thrown Berry they get in the Swalot's mouth. The player's score will get another 100 per consecutive Berry tossed in, with a maximum of 300. For example, 2 consecutive Berries equals 200 points, while 6 consecutive Berries will equal 300 points. If the player fails to shoot a Berry into the machine's mouth, the scoring will reset and go back to 100 per Berry.

During the second round, the game will remain the same, but the Swalot will spin while closing and opening its mouth, making it harder to throw the Berries in. During the second round, every player will get 300 points for every thrown Berry they get in the Swalot-shaped machine's mouth. The player's score will get another 300 points per consecutive Berry tossed in, and this time the maximum is 900. For example, 2 consecutive Berries equals 600 points, while 6 consecutive Berries will equal 900 points. If the player fails to shoot a Berry into the machine's mouth, the scoring will reset and go back to 300 points per Berry.

===Mime Jr. Top===
[[File:Mime Jr. Top.png|thumb|left|Mime Jr. Top]]
''"Roll the ball to keep <sc>Mime Jr.</sc> balanced on it."''

'''Mime Jr. Top''' (Japanese: '''ころころマネネ''' ''Roll-Roll Manene'') is another minigame that uses more of the DS's touch screen capabilities. It features four {{p|Mime Jr.}} balancing on circus balls. Players must try to keep their Mime Jr. on the ball using the stylus. The longer it stays on the ball, the more points the player receives. If a player's Mime Jr. stays on the ball the longest, that player wins the game. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four players can play.

Using the DS's touchscreen, the player must balance on top of a giant circus ball by spinning the balls at different angles so Mime Jr. doesn't fall off. The touch screen will display the player's Mime Jr. and circus ball, while the top screen will display other players' Mime Jr. and circus balls. The circus balls will be colored differently to distinguish between players.

The longer the player stays on the circus ball the higher score the player will get. It is much like a combo
system of multiplication. For every time the ball shines on the player, they will get 100 points and for the next time the player will get 200 points, then 600 points, and so on. The maximum score a player can receive is 100,000 points.

===Wobbuffet Pop===
[[File:Wobbuffet Pop.png|thumb|right|Wobbuffet Pop]]
''"Press the <sc>Wobbuffet</sc> pump and pop balloons with the other players."''

'''Wobbuffet Pop''' (Japanese: '''どんどんソーナンス''' ''Quick-Quick Sonans'') is a mini-game using the touch screen to pump up balloons by a {{p|Wobbuffet}}-shaped pump. Balloons are pumped with the stylus up and down to earn points. Some {{p|Wynaut}} on the top screen will make it harder for the player to pump balloons. When ten balloons are popped, all players will get the Tap Toy upgrade. A minimum of two players can play, and a maximum of four player can play.

The touch screen will display the player's pump, shaped like a big Wobbuffet, that can be touched to pump the balloons that appear on the top screen. The top screen will also display the other players pumps, and the field, where other {{p|Wynaut}} obstacles bounce. The pumps will be colored different colors to distinguish between players.

This is the only game which other players work together as a team, and the only game where everyone can get a Tap Toy upgrade at the same time.

==Other features==
===Footprint panels===
There are two long tables on the right side of the plaza, that several people can get access to. Here, players can choose any footprint to place on the table. Once players have selected their footprint, they can touch the canvas and start coloring it with footprints. The color of the footprint will depend on the first type chosen by players upon entering the plaza. After a few seconds, the footprints fade. Each kind of footprint exits in a different way. Every room had a chance of replacing all the footprint stamps of Pokémon with the footprints of {{p|Arceus}}, and also allowing some extra symbols like the Wi-Fi symbol.

===Visitor profiles===
There is a globe on the lower right side of the Wi-Fi Plaza. This is so players can see exactly where everyone else in the room is from, providing they have implemented their location in the [[Global Terminal]].

In addition, by pressing ''X'' or ''Start'', something similar to a Trainer card can be seen. It shows the player's last actions, including the people they talked to and the games they have played recently. It also shows their current Tap Toy.

===General inquiries counter===
This is found at the center, in front of Plaza News. Here, players may ask people questions about the Wi-Fi Plaza. The general inquiries counter can give information regarding any of the Wi-Fi Plaza features.

Upon entering, players are asked to choose up to two types. Players may choose only one or even none though.

===Plaza Survey===
Every week, there is a question found on a machine in the center of a plaza, tied to a balloon. These surveys have several choices and players must choose one only. Results of the latest survey topic are shown near closing time while results of the week before can be seen at once. These surveys change every week, but can be answered everyday.

===Plaza News===
This is the big machine found at the center of the plaza, to the Plaza Survey's right. It shows the time left before closing time, the number of people connected and the latest survey topic when it's near closing time.

==Tap Toys==
[[File:Tap Toys.jpg|thumb|right|A Level 1 Balloon]]
Tap Toys are given upon entering the plaza and are controlled on the touch screen. These Tap Toys are given out randomly, while entering the room. They create effects when touched from the touch screen such as sounds and motions. They can also be exchanged or copied from other players when they are not playing any games or doing anything else. For example the bell, once tapped, will create a sound of bell that everyone in the room that are near the player will hear it. Or by touching the balloon, the player will be able to float in the air for a period of time. They are upgraded when one wins in a mini-game. This can occur a maximum of two times per toy as the maximum level is 3. Some Tap Toys include:

* Balloons
* Bells
* Cymbals
* Signal
* Sparkle
* Popper
* Ripple
* Whirl
* Drum

==Rooms==
{{incomplete|section|Needs complete layout maps of the rooms}}
In the Wi-Fi Plaza, there are five different type-based rooms, that feature certain Pokémon of that type. One of the five rooms is pre-selected randomly before entering the plaza, these rooms do not affect mini-games and other features, but do provide aesthetic differences such as background color and featured Pokémon. The five different type are {{type|Fire}}, {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, {{type|Electric}} and a rare, secret {{p|Mew}}-themed room. Every time a player wants to enter the plaza, they are sent to a random room featuring certain Pokémon. Until December 17, 2008 (Japan) and starting March 26, 2009 (U.S.), players entering Wi-Fi Plaza had a high chance of entering a {{p|Mew}}-themed room with Mew statues, Mew tail lamps, and a Mew float at the exit. This room is still available afterward, although the chances are lower.

===Closing time===
When the room is about to close, the background lights will dim and the room will become darker, then different colored lights around the room will begin to illuminate the plaza. This will be the first sign that the plaza's time is running out. Soon after, when time is running out, a fireworks display from all around the room will go off. Everyone must exit through the floats, found in the room. Certain Pokémon are featured in the floats going out as well. Similar to the Tap Toys, a button is available at the bottom screen upon boarding a float. The button makes the float do certain things, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}} releasing its vines, {{p|Charizard}} breathing fire, {{p|Carnivine}} opening its mouth, {{p|Magnezone}} releasing electricity and several others who just move their body.

==Trivia==
* Two of the mini-games feature [[Team Rocket]]'s Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} while another, {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, is featured in one of the floats.
* Most of the featured Pokémon are unavailable in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Johto]] before obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].
* The size of Swalot's barbels indicates that it is female.
