Myuutsuu: /* Me & Pokémon */

Hello, I'm Craig but here I'm known as [[Myuutsuu]]. I've been a fan of Pokémon since 1999 when I bought [[Pokémon Yellow]]. I'm sure I'll enjoy my stay here at Bulbapedia!

== Me & Pokémon ==

First of all, my favorite Pokémon is [[Mewtwo]] (hence the name. My favorite non-legendary is [[Swampert]]). Currently my favorite Pokémon game is [[Pokémon Crystal]]. I have progressed the most on [[Pokémon FireRed]]. I began me journey to "Catch 'em all" when I recieved [[Pokémon Yellow]]. Since then I have been a devoted fan of the video games (not the animé however) and have strived to capture every Pokémon in existance. These days it's becoming harder and harder since there are around 400 (and more coming) of the critters and I have captured... I think it's 383, and there are little to no Nintendo events in the UK. I am greatly looking forward to the release of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] and I'm hoping to be stunned by them.

I am a member of [[Psypoke]] Community Forums under the same name, Myuutsuu (though from February 2006 I've been largly inactive). I can easily say it is the best place I've ever been to chat about Pokémon.

Mewthree

2006-08-14T13:35:17Z

Myuutsuu: Lucario

'''Mewthree''' is possibly one of the most famous [[fake Pokémon]]. It appears commonly in fake cheats and [[fan fiction]].

One rumor suggests that after you obtain all 150 Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon Red and Blue]], returning to the [[Cerulean Cave]] where {{p|Mewtwo}} was found and using {{m|Rock Smash}} on a rock 50 times would make a [[level|Lv.]] 99 Mewthree appear.

Mewthree was also one of the names given to the silhouette of [[Lucario]] early after its release on many internet forums because it appeared strikingly similar to Mewtwo.

[[Image:Battle Frontier Map.png|thumb|right|256px|Ingame Battle Frontier Map]]
The '''Battle Frontier''' is a whole new area introduced in [[Pokémon Emerald]] which features several areas where you can battle your Pokémon.

In the anime, the Battle Frontier is set in [[Kanto]], rather than [[Hoenn]], with the individual parts scattered all over the region. After the Hoenn league, [[Ash Ketchum]] meets [[Scott]] in [[Viridian City]], who invites Ash to visit, after seeing his skill against [[Agatha]]. The rules in each of the facilities also seem to be different than those in the game - for one, Ash challenges the head of the facility immediately, without having to win a series of battles first.

== Detailed Map ==
{{Clear-right}}
<div style="text-align: center;">
[[Image:Battle Frontier Map Sugimori.jpg|550px]]
</div>

== Battle Arena ==
Battling in the '''Battle Arena''' (Japanese: '''バトルアリーナ''') pits two Pokémon against one another for three rounds. If both Pokémon last all three rounds, they are rated on how they battled, and the Pokémon with the higher score wins. The losing Pokémon leaves battle. If both Pokémon have the same score, they both lose. If either Pokémon is knocked out before three rounds are over, that Pokémon loses and there is no scoring for that battle.

Pokémon are scored on their mind, skill, and body. Mind judges Pokémon on the amount and type of offensive moves they use. Skill judges Pokémon on the overall accuracy of their moves. This category is not influenced by the ineffectiveness of moves caused by the use of {{M|Detect}} or {{M|Protect}}. Body judges the amount of HP the Pokémon has left at the end of the battle. This is affected by the amount of HP the Pokémon had at the start of the battle.

After 27 and 55 consecutive wins, '''Arena Tycoon [[Greta]]''' appears to challenge. Defeating her awards the Guts Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Arena is located near [[Saffron City]]. Before the match began, there is a special machine that used to determine if its a 1-on-1 battle, 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 battle.

== Battle Dome ==
The '''Battle Dome''' (Japanese: '''バトルドーム''') is a tournament which consists of 16 trainers.

Before each battle, you can look at the opponent that you are facing, and find out information such as the Pokémon s/he is using, their battle style, and the type of EV training they do. Also, you can look up the info on who is eliminated in each round, as well as the standings in each stage of the competition.

After winning 5 and 10 championships consecutively, '''Dome Ace [[Tucker]]''' will appear to battle. Defeating him earns the Tactics Symbol.

In the Anime, the Battle Dome is located near [[Lavender Town]].

== Battle Factory ==
The '''Battle Factory''' (Japanese: '''バトルファクトリー''') is a place for researchers to examine trainers using random Pokémon in battle. Before entering a battle, the guide researcher will tell information about the opponent's team, and allow you to trade one of your Pokémon for one from the trainer previously defeated.

After 21 and 42 consecutive wins (respectively three and six times through the Battle Factory), '''Factory Head [[Noland]]''' appears to battle. Defeating him awards the Knowledge Symbol.

In the Anime, the Battle Factory is located near [[Cerulean City]]. Instead of random Pokémon, Noland just has a lot, and the challenger may choose the Pokémon they will face in battle.

== Battle Palace ==
Pokémon battle on their own within the '''Battle Palace''' (Japanese: '''バトルパレス'''). A Pokémon's style of attack depends on its nature. When a Pokémon's HP meter falls low, it may be in the Pokémon's nature to change its style of attack.

'''Palace Maven [[Spenser]]''' appears after 21 and 42 consecutive wins (three and six trips through the palace, respectively), and defeating him earns the Spirits Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Palace is located near the [[Seafoam Islands]].

== Battle Pyramid ==
The '''Battle Pyramid''' (Japanese: '''バトルピラミッド''') is a 7-layer pyramid. Each room is shrouded in darkness and only by defeating opponents will it light up. A trainer cannot take any items into the pyramid. Any items found within the pyramid may only be used while in the pyramid.

The kind of wild Pokémon encountered depends on many times one has travelled through the pyramid, and include 20 sets of Pokémon, with increasing difficulting from one set to the next. The kinds of tactics the wild Pokémon will use progress as:
* Paralyzing Moves
* Poisoning Moves
* Burning Moves
* PP Wasting Moves
* {{A|Levitate}} Ability Pokémon
* Non-Escape Ability Pokémon ({{A|Shadow Tag}} and {{A|Arena Trap}})
* Freezing Moves
* {{M|Explosion}} and {{M|Selfdestruct}} Moves
* {{T|Psychic}} Moves
* {{T|Rock}} Pokémon
* Fighting Pokémon
* Weather-Altering Moves
* {{T|Bug}} Pokémon
* {{T|Dark}} Pokémon
* {{T|Water}} Pokémon
* {{T|Ghost}} Pokémon
* {{T|Steel}} Pokémon
* Dragon-like Pokémon
* {{T|Fire}}, {{T|Water}}, {{T|Electric}}, and {{T|Ice}} Moves
* {{T|Normal}} Pokémon

Trainers who pass 21 consecutive floors (three passes through the pyramid) and 70 floors (ten passes through the pyramid) are challenged by '''Pyramid King [[Brandon]]''' Defeating him in battle awards the Brave Symbol.

In the Anime, the Battle Pyramid is located near [[Pewter City]].

== Battle Pike ==
The '''Battle Pike''', or Battle Tube ('''バトルチューブ''') in the Japanese version, is a long pike in the design of a Seviper. Inside are 21 rooms, each with its own event. To complete the Battle Pike, one must choose from seven sets of three rooms. Depending on the room, one of eight events will happen:
* Single Battle: 3 Pokémon per side.
* Double Battle: 2 Pokémon per side.
* Single Battle and Healing: 3 Pokémon per side; winner's Pokémon are completely healed.
* Wild Pokémon: Wild Milotic, Dusclops, and Seviper appear.
* No Event: Nothing happens.
* Status Change: A surprise attack will inflict a status on one or all of your Pokémon. The status includes Kirlia's Burn, Paralyze, Poison, or Sleep and Dusclops's Burn or Freeze.
* One or Two Recovery: One or two of your Pokémon will be healed.
* Full Recovery: All of your Pokémon will be healed.

The lady standing outside of the rooms will hint at what is in one of the three rooms.

The [[Frontier Brain]] of the Battle Pike is '''Pike Queen [[Lucy]]'''. She challenges trainers who complete 27 rooms (two passes through the pike) and 139 rooms (10 passes). Beat her to obtain the Luck Symbol.

In the Anime, the Battle Pike is located near [[Fuchsia City]].

== Battle Tower ==
In the '''Battle Tower''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー'''), trainer after random trainer is battled, progressively becoming more difficult.

After 35 wins (five trips through the tower) and 70 wins (ten trips through the tower), '''Salon Maiden [[Anabel]]''' appears. Defeat her to win the Ability Symbol.

In the anime, the Battle Tower is located near [[Tohjo Falls]].

= Other Points of Interest =

== Artisan Cave ==
The Artisan Cave is a long cave connecting one end of the Battle Frontier to the other. It starts near the Battle Palace and the exit is right next to the Battle Tower.

The cave is two levels high, contains a Rare Candy, and the only wild Pokémon found inside is {{p|Smeargle}}.

== House ==
There is a house next to the Battle Tower. Inside, there is a trainer who wants to trade a {{p|Skitty}} for a {{p|Meowth}}.

== Record Hall ==
The record hall contains all of the records that you set at the Battle Frontier. There are three rooms. The one on the left contains records for the Battle Pike, Dome, and Factory, the one in the center has records for the Battle Tower, and the one on the right contains records for the Battle Palace, Pyramid, and Arena.

If you mix records with another Emerald game, you can also get the Battle Frontier records from the other game.

== [[Sudowoodo]] ==
A level 40 {{p|Sudowoodo}} is located in the south east section of the Battle Frontier. Its appearance will look like a tree, but if you use wailmer pail on it it will attack. This is the only location of Sudowoodo throughout the third generation.

== Move Tutors ==
In a house next to the Battle Dome, there are two move tutors. They will teach your Pokémon a selection of attacks for a price in Battle Points.

Myuutsuu: Shin'ou to Shin'o

'''Generation IV''' Pokémon games will consist of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] on [[Nintendo DS]].

==New Pokémon==
As is tradition, [[Game Freak]] are slowly unveiling new Pokémon to the public. The following Generation IV Pokémon are known:

*{{p|Bonsly}}
*{{p|Buoysel}}
*{{p|Cherimu}}
*{{p|Diaruga}}
*{{p|Dorapion}}
*{{p|Erekiburu}}
*{{p|Korobōshi}}
*{{p|Lucario}}
*{{p|Manaphy}}

*{{p|Pachirisu}}
*{{p|Parukia}}
*{{p|Perap}}
*{{p|Rozureido}}
*{{p|Tamanta}}
*{{p|Weavile}}

===Starting Pokémon===
Though it was previously rumored that the Grass-type/Fire-type/Water-type trio would be replaced instead with a Dark-type/Psychic-Type/Fighting-type trio, these proved to be false, and Diamond and Pearl's staters will be the Grass-type {{p|Naetle}}, the Fire-type {{p|Hikozaru}}, and the Water-type {{p|Pochama}}.

==New Region==
Diamond and Pearl will take place in new region known by its Japanese name, [[Shin'ō]], which is based off of the northernmost island of Japan. It is unknown how this region relates geographically with the other three.

Seagallop

Myuutsuu:

'''Seagallop Ferries''' are a series of boats in [[Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen]] which transfer the player from [[Vermillion City]] to the [[Sevii Islands]] and back, as well as between the seven Sevii Islands. In addition, Seagallop ferries are the only means of accessing [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]]. They appear to use a mode of propulsion called "Hi-Speed" of which there are speed factors ranging from 1 to 9. Before boarding a Seagallop Ferry, a sailor will usually shout "Seagallop Hi-Speed..." followed by the speed the ferry will travel at.

Myuutsuu: Created Article (Without Pictures)

'''Shin'o''' (also known as Shinou) is a region in the Pokémon universe, and will be the setting of the upcoming games [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]]. It is based on the geography of the Japanese island of Hokkaido.

== Geography ==

Only a few screenshots have been released so far, however it is obvious that Shin'ō will feature a broad range of new and old environments for the player to explore. Shin'ō will feature, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. A picture that was revealed in CoroCoro Comic shows that the region is divided by a mountain range.

== Locations Within Shin'ō ==

=== Futaba Town ===

[[Futaba Town]] was the first location revealed in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and is the town in which the game begins (similar to [[Pallet Town]], [[New Bark Town]] and [[Littleroot Town]]). It is home to the game's professor, Professor Nanakamado (the Japanese word for the Rowan tree), as well as the main character's home and his or her rival's. From the screenshots revealed in popular Japanese manga magazine CoroCoro Comic, it is clear that Futaba Town is close to a body of water and sports brightly colored grass. Futaba means "sprout" or "bud" in Japanese.

=== Masago Town ===

[[Masago Town]] was recently featured in a promotional video for Diamond and Pearl. The video featured the female protagonist walking through the town towards a beach south of Masago. The beach is part of Route 219, and is in close proximity to the town itself. Other information concerning this new area has not been released, though it has been theorized that Masago will play the same role as [[Viridian City]], [[Cherrygrove City]] or [[Oldale Town]], serving as the town closest to the protagonist's hometown.

=== Routes ===

Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Shin'ō's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from the previous region's routes. It is presumed that routes in this region are numbered from 201, as Route 219 appears in an already-released video. It seems that to progress beyond Route 219 the player needs to use [[Surf]], much like it was for [[Route 19]] in [[Kanto]]. Compared to previous generations, there do not seem to be many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains.

Generation III

2006-08-10T19:18:02Z

Myuutsuu: Advance Generation

'''Generation III''' (often referred to as the advance generation) Pokémon games consist of [[Pokémon Ruby]], [[Pokémon Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] on [[Gameboy Advance]] and [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD]] on [[Nintendo GameCube]] at the present time. The Generation III games take place in the [[Kanto|Kanto region]], the [[Hoenn|Hoenn region]], and in the [[Orre|Orre region]]. The generation started with the 2002 release of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire in Japan and 2003 release elsewhere.

==Advances in Gameplay==

The third generation, while incompatible with [[Generation II]], boasts the most changes in the world of Pokémon. Many new Pokémon are added with strange type combinations such as fighting/psychic. The advances include:

* New streamlined Pokémon storage system.
* [[Pokémon Contests]].
* 135 Pokémon added to the Pokémon world, bringing the total to 386.
* New teams involving one specific [[Legendary Pokémon]] - {{p|Groudon}} in Pokémon Ruby and {{p|Kyogre}} in Pokémon Sapphire.
* [[Natures]], which determines a Pokémon's stat growth, and can be affected by an item attached to a Pokémon while breeding ([[Pokémon Emerald]] only.).
* New environments can be explored: Underwater, Desert, Mountain and Jungle.
* Wireless communication (Only available in: [[Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green|Fire Red]], [[Pokémon Fire Red and Leaf Green|LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]]])
* [[Nintendo E-Reader]] communication.
* [[Abilities]], which can affect Pokémon inside and outside of battle.
* Improved Graphics.
* More moves added, bringing total to over 350.
* Berries have greater use; can be used for [[Pokémon Contests]], regular battle, or in stat training ([[Pokémon Emerald]], specifically).
* 2 by 2 battles are available.

== Hoenn Starters ==

Players begin their journey in [[Littleroot Town]] with a choice of {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, or {{p|Mudkip}}. The Grass-Fire-Water type triangle from previous generations remains, and the difficulty setting follows [[Generation I]] where {{t|Grass}}-type or {{t|Water}}-type Pokémon will serve to make the beginning gyms easier, wheras choosing the {{t|Fire}}-type provides an extra challenge. However, on Generation II, Fire Types are better at the start to defeat the second gym leader, Bugsy.

== Gym Leaders ==

# [[Roxanne]]
# [[Brawly]]
# [[Wattson]]
# [[Flannery]]
# [[Norman]]
# [[Winona]]
# [[Tate & Liza]]
# [[Wallace]] ([[Juan]] in Pokémon Emerald)

== Other Generation III games ==

[[Pokémon Colosseum]], for the [[Nintendo]] [[GameCube]], features a new land called [[Orre]] where several [[Generation II]] and Generation III Pokémon are altered by two rival teams called [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]]. Players must "snag" the "[[Shadow Pokémon]]" and cure them of their darkness. Once this is completed, the Pokémon may be transferred to the other Generation III games. Pokémon Colosseum is the first 3D Pokémon RPG.

This game also features an advanced stadium mode similar to those of the [[Pokémon Stadium]] games.

[[Pokémon Box Ruby and Sapphire]] is another Generation III game, which allows for:

* Storage of up to 1500 Pokémon.
* Playing Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on the television.

[[Pokémon XD]] is also on the way for the Nintendo GameCube and while not much is known of this title, it does boast the same graphics engine as Pokémon Colosseum.

Generation III is the biggest generation of its time, and [[Generation IV]] is on the horizon with games for the [[Nintendo DS]].

Myuutsuu: Metallic Generation

'''Generation II''' (often referred to as the metallic generation) Pokémon games consist of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal]] on [[Gameboy Color]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] on [[Nintendo 64]]. The games mostly take place in the [[Johto|Johto Region]], but also include the [[Kanto|Kanto Region]] and [[White City]]. In these games, the main character starts in [[New Bark Town]] and moved onto Kanto once he or she defeated the [[Elite Four]]. The games came out in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 everywhere else.

== Advances in gameplay ==

Pokémon Gold and Silver brought with it many, many different changes that would alter how the world of Pokémon would be precieved as the game reached new heights in popularity. These advances included:

* Trading and battling capabilities with [[Generation I]] via Time Machine.
* 100 new Pokémon bringing the total to 251.

* Special stat split into Special Attack and Special Defense.
* Pokérus introduced.
* Pokémon can now hold items.
* {{I|Exp. All}} replaced with {{I|Exp. Share}}.
* PokéGear added, which has a built-in cellphone used to call and rematch some trainers. Pokénav can be upgraded with a World Map and a Radio via installable cards.
* Item pack now split into seperate sections.
* An item can be put on the <sc>select</sc> button for easy use.

In addition, the [[Generation II]] games were easier in comparison to the [[Generation I]] games.

== Starters ==
This time around, the Pokémon known as {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil }} and {{p|Totodile}}, are availible to trainers at the beginning of the game. They too follow the Grass-Fire-Water (respectively) route of the previous generation. However, the game swtiched difficulty settings compared to [[Generation I]] as the {{t|Fire}}-type known as Cyndaquil became the Pokémon of choice to handle the first few gyms, whereas the {{t|Water}}-type, Totodile, was the intermediate difficulty Pokémon, and the most difficult Pokémon to start out with was Chikorita, which was of the {{t|Grass}}-type.

== Gym Leaders ==
The second generation gym leaders had added gyms for the different types including the two new types introduced in this version. The leaders are:

* [[Falkner]]
* [[Whitney]]
* [[Bugsy]]
* [[Morty]]
* [[Chuck]]
* [[Jasmine]]
* [[Pryce]]
* [[Clair]]

== Notes ==
Pokémon Crystal allows trainers to play as a female lead and has a slightly different storyline, as trainers focus on the Pokémon {{p|Suicune}}. Kanto became a different place than what trainers were accustomed to as changes were made, some of which are explained in the [[Kanto#Generation II Changes|Kanto]] article. This generation is not compatible with [[Generation III]] and later, due to a number of internal mechanics changes, as well as the general incompatibility between Game Boy Color and [[wp:Game Boy Advance|Game Boy Advance]] software.

The type chart is also changed slightly from Generation I:
{| {{graytable}}
|-
! Attacking
! Defending
! Old
! New
|-
| Bug || Poison || 2.0× || 0.5×
|-
| Grass || Poison || 1.0× || 0.5×
|-
| Poison || Bug || 2.0× || 1.0×
|-
| Ice || Fire || 1.0× || 0.5×
|-
| Ghost || Psychic || 0.0× || 2.0×
|-
| Grass || Ice || 0.5× || 1.0×
|}

Generation I

2006-08-10T19:09:39Z

Myuutsuu: Colour Generation

'''Generation I''' (often referred to as the colour generation) Pokémon games consist of [[Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow]] on Gameboy and two [[Pokémon Stadium]] games on Nintendo 64. The Generation I games take place in the [[Kanto|Kanto region]]. Pokémon Red and Green versions were remade in [[Generation III]] as [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]]. The games were first released on February 27, 1996 in Japan, September 1998 in North America, and in 1999 everywhere else.

==Advances in Gameplay==

This generation started it all. There's not much that was advanced in this generation as Pokémon was just starting out. The games marked the first appearance of [[Professor Oak]], the Kanto gym leaders and the first 151 Pokémon. Some of the basic features included:

* [[Bill's PC|Pokémon Storage System]]
* Complex Stats System
* Move System restricting knowing only four moves at a time.
* [[Game Boy]] Link-up for trading and battling

Those items set Pokémon apart from previous RPGs of its time.

==Starters==

The [[Starting Pokémon|starting Pokémon]] for this generation are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. This started the Grass-Fire-Water (respectively) starter type trend that would last to the present as it is similar to the style of rock-paper-scissors games where each has an advantage and disadvantage against one of the others. Choosing either the {{t|Water}} or especially {{t|Grass}}-type starters makes for an easier game; choosing the {{t|Fire}}-type starter proves more of a challenge. The starter choice usually dictated how hard the first few gyms would be. In the Yellow version, {{p|Pikachu}} is the starter, and the rival takes {{p|Eevee}}.

== Gym Leaders ==

The first group of gym leaders started with [[Brock]] of [[Pewter City]] who trained Rock-type Pokémon. The gym leaders followed this order:

* [[Brock]]
* [[Misty]]
* [[Lt. Surge]]
* [[Erika]]
* [[Koga]]
* [[Sabrina]]
* [[Blaine]]
* [[Giovanni]]

== Discussion of Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow ==

The games were revolutionary when they were released and set the mould for future generations to improve upon and by the present games, Pokémon itself evolved into a mainstay in the world of [[Nintendo]].

[[Pokémon Yellow]] followed the Pokémon [[Anime]] to the point where the main character started with Pikachu and ended up with Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle. The nefarious [[Team Rocket]], while present in the first games, included [[Jessie]] and [[James]] from the animé and often plagued the main character.

This generation started off the world of Pokémon and looking back, one can see how far it had come.
