NP Chilla: confirmed fairy types

== Confirmed Fairy-types ==
Aside from Sylveon as the first pure Fairy-type, Pokecom.com has confirmed that Gardevoir is now Psychic/Fairy, Marill is Water/Fairy and Jigglypuff in Normal/Fairy.

== X and Y. ==

Since this is going to be a full 3D (instead of {{tt|2.5D|2.5D is when something is made to look 3D, but is actually 2D}})... X and Y (as well Z) are the coordinates in 3D. X is horizontal, Y is vertical and Z is depth. Kinda neat reference. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 14:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:*Cool theory. Wouldn't be surprised if they did. But for all we know they might do what they did with Generation V and come out with an "X2" and "Y2".

::WOW, Marked I thought of exactly the same (before reading this talk page). But there's more! Remember Palkia and Dialga? Well, they're the beings of space and time, huh? Well, remeber Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem? The dragons of truth, ideals and dreams? Now it gets tricky, remember the differences between Black (2) and White (2)? Old Opelucid, new Opelucid, old way of growing vegetables in Mistralton, new way of growing vegetables in Mistralton? Where, or WHEN, do people find the truth, find their ideals or have dreams about those two? In the past, the future and the present! Wait that has to do with time! Wait Dialga has to do with time! And wth, in the Cartesian coordinate system x and y and z (there's always a third one, of course) represent the 3 dimensions of space! Wait did I say space? Wait Palkia has to do with Space!

::I think, if I were being really pedantic, even "Appears to draw inspiration from France" could be a little misleading, because it makes it sound like it'll all be France. There are deserts in the trailer, how many deserts does France have? That's more quintessentially Spanish. I'd say the new region "appears to have drawn inspiration from European landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower in France." But even then, European landmarks is conjecture. Relatively safe conjecture, but still, minefield!! Only thing we can really say is that there's a tower in it that looks a bit French. How do you translate that into Bulbapese? [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 00:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Actually, I just watched the trailer back, and the moment where Pikachu shoots lightning across the world, you can see it originates somewhere in Europe.

:::: I also agree with "appears to have drawn inspiration from European landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower in France.", since there are many monuments similar to the ones we can see in the trailer, like Blackpool tower in or Buckingam Palace in England, aswell as the radio tower in Alexanderplatz in Berlin, or the city architecture in Italy. [[User:Tano|Tano]] ([[User talk:Tano|talk]]) 19:32, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::::Good thing that you mentioned the trailer because, if anything, it only serves as further evidence that the games draw inspiration from France because Pikachu is seen actually standing atop the Eiffel tower. People who keep mentioning "how many deserts does France have?" are pretty ridiculous when you take into account the fact that Game Freak has taken a huge amount of artistic freedom in the past (i.e. Unova Route 4).

"Nintendo of America has revealed the names of the two Legendary Pokemon which will feature in the forthcoming Pokemon X and Pokemon Y for the Nintendo 3DS. The Pokemon X Legendary is called Xerneas, which is pronounced Zurr-nee-us. The Pokemon Y mascot is called Yveltal, which is pronounced ee-vell-tall." {{unsigned|BritLucifer}}

== Genetic Generation? ==

Even ignoring that it would be a reference to 3D axes if there were a Pokémon Z, the selling point of this generation is that it is the first generation to be 3D in every sense of the word. I think that's how people will remember this gen, so I thought we would be calling it the 3D generation, similar to how Generation III was called the Advance Generation. X and Y don't have special meaning in genetics outside of sex chromosomes. Even without a Pokémon Z I'd say it's more a reference to the mathematical variables that are used to establish two different things, than to genetics. Like how Black and White are used as metaphors for things that are opposite. That was actually my first reaction when I found out the names of the games, as "Pokémon X and Y" could be used as a term to refer to paired versions in general. Well, what I'm saying is that I would call it the 3D generation. Feel free to disagree, but it would be better than "Genetic Generation". [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 15:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:I agree to an extent - while it is possible it's to do with genetics, it's a bit of a stretch to call it Genetic Generation at such an early point in conception. Also, it does seem a bit less likely for it to be genetics (after all, if it truly were about sex chromosomes, it should be XX and XY, not X and Y. My first thoughts personally were co-ordinates, but that could be wrong, too). Either way, as a wiki, speculation shouldn't be added as fact, right? Thus, "Genetic Generation" should be moved until there is hard evidence that the X and Y do, in fact, represent sex genes.

::: Well, I guess if there's already a 3D generation we'll just have to leave it until people actually start calling this generation something or Bulbapedia calling it genetic generation carries over to people calling it that, whichever comes first.

:The problem is, throughout the media, there has been lots of controversy regarding pronounciations. {{p|Arceus}} is the most prominent example - the pre-reveal (fan use and PBR) pronounciation, "AR-see-uss", conflicts with the [[M12]] pronounciation "Ar-SAY-us" (while the page states that this was in the pre-release trailer, at least the first airing in the States also used this pronounciation, IIRC), which conflicts with the "official" pronounciation of "ARK-ee-us" (which is found in Dex 3D Pro). There was talk a while back about adding pronounciation keys to each article, but it was scrapped for this reason. I'll see if I can dig up that discussion...[[Talk:Main_Page/Archive_11#Pronunciation]], but re-reading states that there would have to be an official source to use.

Other than the Rattata part, which I can understand looking back on it, what was wrong with the rest of the trivia I wrote? Mudkip can't learn any moves that utilise bubbles, and its animation shows it spewing bubbles from its mouth. And Meloetta has been internationally unveiled, yet is unavailable outside of Japan. Also, do we have any idea why the codes for Meloetta and Genesect are being kept from international buyers? I'm assuming it's so people will spend more money on the iOS version (where the codes are unchanged) but that's just conjecture.

It was announced today: PHSKUTDF

The Meloetta one still hasn't been announced though... [[User:NP Chilla|NP Chilla]] ([[User talk:NP Chilla|talk]]) 19:38, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

== Titles missing "Version"? ==
Do the titles include "version" this time? I'm not seeing it on the official site or the trailer. I think they're just called Pokemon X and Pokemon Y now. [[User:Hheebo|Hheebo]] ([[User talk:Hheebo|talk]]) 14:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? ==

Is it right to be calling them Pokemon X Version and Pokemon Y version? Unlike previous games Nintendo hasn't used the word "version" when referring to them by name, just calling them Pokemon X and Pokemon Y rather than, to use the most recent example, "Pokemon Black Version 2" and "Pokemon White Version 2". The logos don't contain the word "version" either. I think they should simply be referred to as Pokemon X and Y.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Hheebo. Delete if necessary.

:I second this. "Versions" hasn't been mentioned at all, nor are contained in the logos. If "Versions" were in the title, there's usually a habit of saying it every time the game title comes up. It's misleading to list the article as it being called "X and Y ''Versions''" if there really isn't any facts backing that up. --[[User:Manaphy1|Manaphy1]] 16:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Thirded. It should be [[Pokémon X and Y]], as I stated on [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]]'s trivia section. Please rename this page and change this article and the Generation VI one accordingly. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 17:15, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

In previous games, the official sources have said "Pokémon [title] Version" only if it has the word "version in the logo. These games are different, they don't have "version" in the title at all, so I really wouldn't see any reason to have it titled "Pokémon X and Y Versions".—[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 10:29, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

==New region==
In this article it states that the new region is likely based off of France but the [[Generation VI]] page says it draws inspiration from various points within Europe. The pages should be more consistent and more neutral about the subject. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 14:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
* The Nintendo Direct Trailer begins with Pikachu atop the Eiffel Tower. Unova draws from inspirations outside of the strict real world New York; it's not conflicting to say it's both based on France and draws inspiration from the rest of Europe.

== Trivia to be added, I believe... ==

A bit of trivia to be added:
*These are the first main series games to have letters in the title rather than color names.
*The game titles may be named after the X and Y axes of the [[wp:Cartesian coordinate system|Cartesian coordinations]]. ~~'''''[[User:LDEJRuff|LDE]][[User talk:LDEJRuff|JRuff]]'''''~~ 10:04, 8 January, 2013 (UTC)

To suggest the region will 'likely' be based on France seems to be speculation of the sort that the banner of the top forbids, Tokyo also has a structure like the Eiffel Tower. [[User:Alexsau1991|Alexsau1991]] ([[User talk:Alexsau1991|talk]]) 17:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:The streets have an European-like setting; Pikachu spread his message from a location that seemed to be the same as France; that tower looks like the Eiffel Tower and it seems to use gray instead of white and red.

::While it seems plausible, even likely. Isn't it still speculation? And why the entire region, rather than that particular city (I don't recall France having a desert, for example)?

:::There's a big difference between the USA and France, the US is a massive country (in terms of size and little would be explored, if not ignoring plenty of cities). I for one think it ''may'' be based in Europe, but that city, along with that picture with the bridge remind me of the {{wp|Palace of Versailles}}.

:::::Exactly. It's really inconsistent. As an admin, it seems as if Masatoshi is going for a 'do as I say, not as I do'. You can't rule 'no speculation', then allow a piece that you favour, or personally find convincing.

::::::In the trailer, Pikachu is seen on top of the Eiffel Tower. Literally. The camera zooms out and shows it in France.

== Region is based in France ==

Besides the obvious Eiffel Tower reference, I found out that the buildings shown are reminiscent of Paris's type (which was forced as an official style there) and additionally, the place Pikachu is giving the conference is Paris.
I'm including the picture for future reference.

NP Chilla: /* Release model */ no versions

{{move|Main series}}
[[File:RedTitle.png|thumb|The title screen of the English {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red Version|s}}]]
A '''version''' of the Pokémon games is a {{pkmn|games|game}}, up to present, always released on a [[Nintendo]] handheld system and developed by [[Game Freak]], which follows the now-standard model of a {{player}}'s journey through a specific [[region]] to collect all of the species of Pokémon there. Collectively, the twenty games (twenty-one in Japan and twelve in South Korea) released with the label ''Version'' after the game's title are known by fans as the '''main series''' of Pokémon games. In Japan, this series of games is officially named '''Pocket Monsters Series''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターシリーズ|Poketto Monsutā Shirīzu}}''').<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ Official Japanese Pokémon site section]</ref>

==Main series model==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a main series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot and mechanics.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town, having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, he {{tt|or she|Crystal onwards}} will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; the starter Pokémon is always a choice of three, a {{t|Grass}} type, {{t|Fire}} type, or {{t|Water}} type, and the character who will become the player's [[rival]] will choose or already have the Pokémon whose [[type]] is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against that of the player's choice. The exceptions to this are {{v2|Yellow}}, in which the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}} and the rival starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and {{2v2|Black|White}}, where one of the player's rivals, [[Bianca]], starts with the Pokémon whose type is [[Damage modification#Not very effective|not very effective]] against the player's.

It is at this point where the storyline of all these {{pkmn|games}} diverge. The player is allowed to journey across the entire [[region]], capturing any [[wild Pokémon]] he or she chooses to, and using a [[party]] he or she assembles to take on the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the region. Alongside encounters with both other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], whose plans often involve the manipulation of [[legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} await challengers.

Though the game can be considered over as soon as the player has defeated the Champion, there is still post-game content. Often there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed. The overarching goal is the completion of the [[Pokédex]]; after this has been done, the player will receive a [[diploma]] for completing the [[regional Pokédex]] and another for completing the [[National Pokédex]] (only one diploma is awarded in games with only one Pokédex). Starting in [[Generation III]], a new task is added in order to fully complete the game: obtaining all {{ga|Trainer Card}} [[Trainer stars|stars]].

===Mascots===
{{main|Version mascot}}
The boxart for each game features one Pokémon as a mascot, always introduced during the [[generation]] that game is a part of, or the generation that the original game was a part of in the case of [[remake]]s. This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[version mascot]], and beginning in [[Generation II]], has always (with the exception of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, remakes of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} from [[Generation I]]) been the [[legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, there is overall a model that the release of new main series games follows.

When a [[generation]] of Pokémon games begins, a pair of games, seen as counterparts to one another, has always been released. These paired versions feature the virtually the same storyline as each other, but the [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Pokémon available]] differ, and usually other mechanics are slightly different. This is marketed as a way to encourage [[trade|trading]] by requiring it in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

A later third game, usually to conclude the generation, is later released with several minor storyline tweaks, but with the same basic plot and taking place in the same [[region]]. Like the first two games, it will always be lacking some of the Pokémon present in one or both of the other games, but will also contain some of those missing from one of the them; thus, players of this third version must link together with the original pair to complete their Pokédex as well.

[[Generation III]] was the first generation to involve the release of two sets of paired versions: first {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and then {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It was also the first generation that did not contain a third version for one of its pairs: Ruby and Sapphire were later joined by {{v2|Emerald}}, but the FireRed and LeafGreen did not receive a third version because they were [[remake]]s. This was later mimicked in [[Generation IV]], except with the third version, {{v2|Platinum}}, being released before the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

[[Generation V]] is still currently in progress and has had two sets of paired versions, {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

[[Generation VI]] will start in October 2013 with the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], the first two main series games not to include "version" in the title.

NP Chilla: /* Not "versions"! */ new section

The redirect here needs to be suppressed, now that gen VI has been announced. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 12:49, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== X and Y. ==

Since this is going to be a full 3D (instead of {{tt|2.5D|2.5D is when something is made to look 3D, but is actually 2D}})... X and Y (as well Z) are the coordinates in 3D. X is horizontal, Y is vertical and Z is depth. Kinda neat reference. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 14:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

==A few errors==
There should be a dot after the Eiffel Tower part. Also, surely the last sentence is supposed to say '''five''' previous generations, not four. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 16:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
Or rather I would say "the regions preceding it". [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 16:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Not "versions"! ==

Just to point out - it's been made clear in the Pokémon Direct that X and Y are the first two main series games without "Version" in their titles. In other words, they are not "Pokémon X Version and Pokémon Y Version", but "Pokémon X and Pokémon Y". Could this page please be edited to reflect this departure?

Talk:Pokémon X and Y

2013-01-08T17:27:31Z

NP Chilla: /* Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? */ not versions

== Titles missing "Version"? ==
Do the titles include "version" this time? I'm not seeing it on the official site or the trailer. I think they're just called Pokemon X and Pokemon Y now. [[User:Hheebo|Hheebo]] ([[User talk:Hheebo|talk]]) 14:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon X and Y "Versions"? ==

Is it right to be calling them Pokemon X Version and Pokemon Y version? Unlike previous games Nintendo hasn't used the word "version" when referring to them by name, just calling them Pokemon X and Pokemon Y rather than, to use the most recent example, "Pokemon Black Version 2" and "Pokemon White Version 2". The logos don't contain the word "version" either. I think they should simply be referred to as Pokemon X and Y.
EDIT: Ninja'd by Hheebo. Delete if necessary.

:I second this. "Versions" hasn't been mentioned at all, nor are contained in the logos. If "Versions" were in the title, there's usually a habit of saying it every time the game title comes up. It's misleading to list the article as it being called "X and Y ''Versions''" if there really isn't any facts backing that up. --[[User:Manaphy1|Manaphy1]] 16:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Thirded. It should be [[Pokémon X and Y]], as I stated on [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]]'s trivia section. Please rename this page and change this article and the Generation VI one accordingly. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 17:15, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Fourthed. Every other main series entry has had "version" on it, this is different in all languages. This should be reflected in the title of the page.

==New region==
In this article it states that the new region is likely based off of France but the [[Generation VI]] page says it draws inspiration from various points within Europe. The pages should be more consistent and more neutral about the subject. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 14:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
* The Nintendo Direct Trailer begins with Pikachu atop the Eiffel Tower. Unova draws from inspirations outside of the strict real world New York; it's not conflicting to say it's both based on France and draws inspiration from the rest of Europe.

== Trivia to be added, I believe... ==

A bit of trivia to be added:
*These are the first main series games to have letters in the title rather than color names.
*The game titles may be named after the X and Y axes of the [[wp:Cartesian coordinate system|Cartesian coordinations]]. ~~'''''[[User:LDEJRuff|LDE]][[User talk:LDEJRuff|JRuff]]'''''~~ 10:04, 8 January, 2013 (UTC)
:Given that the Japanese logos clearly have DNA helixes in them, I think it's safe to say that they were going for genetics. Not coordinates. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 15:10, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Why not both? --[[User:Dorsal Axe|Dorsal Axe]] ([[User talk:Dorsal Axe|talk]]) 15:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Because the Japanese logos have DNA helixes in them so they are standing for genetics, not coordinates. It was made pretty clear by Jo. [[User:Rainbow Shifter|Rainbow Shifter]] ([[User talk:Rainbow Shifter|talk]]) 17:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
They're obviously named after the x and y chromosomes, not coordinates. [[User:Munlax|Munlax]] ([[User talk:Munlax|talk]]) 17:14, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::::Could it not be a double meaning? [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 17:16, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::And what makes you think it's coordinates? For all I know, we could also use algebraic expressions. So far, Jo's bet is the safest. Since it has helixes that resemble a DNA string, it's unlikely to have been based in coordinates. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 17:19, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::Why would it be based off coordinates anyway? It makes more sense to have them based off genetics seeming as you breed Pokemon in the game. And no, it has been said numerous times: The Japanese logos have '''DNA''' helixes in them. End of story. [[User:Rainbow Shifter|Rainbow Shifter]] ([[User talk:Rainbow Shifter|talk]]) 17:23, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

==Based off France?==
To suggest the region will 'likely' be based on France seems to be speculation of the sort that the banner of the top forbids, Tokyo also has a structure like the Eiffel Tower. [[User:Alexsau1991|Alexsau1991]] ([[User talk:Alexsau1991|talk]]) 17:12, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:The streets have an European-like setting; Pikachu spread his message from a location that seemed to be the same as France; that tower looks like the Eiffel Tower and it seems to use gray instead of white and red. While it's not confirmed, it is plausible that the region might be based in France. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 17:18, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::While it seems plausible, even likely. Isn't it still speculation? And why the entire region, rather than that particular city (I don't recall France having a desert, for example)? Castelia City in Black and White is said to be based off New York, yet the entire region isn't said to be based on the USA.

NP Chilla: /* Venonat -> Butterfree? */ new section

==Stun Spore==
Butterfree's missing Stun Spore for generations from Yellow to III. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 12:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
The move list still doesn't match up with [http://www.serebii.net/pokedex/012.shtml|Serebii's] --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 07:05, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

== Pink Butterfree ==

I may be missing something, but the Shiny Butterfree ''does'' look pink to me. Why do both pages (this and [[Pink Butterfree]]) say that the shiny sprite is not pink? If this is correct, what color is the shiny sprite exactly? ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 02:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

The shiny Butterfree is a purple Butterfree with pink wings and green eyes. The pink Butterfree is just like the normal Butterfree except its wings and body is pink

[[Image:Spr 4d 012 f s.png]][[Image:Pink butterfree.jpg]]

see the difference? --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:00, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

== Red and Green sprite difference? ==

I'm sure it's just my OCD talking, but I think that Butterfree's Red and Green sprite, specifically it's wings, looks different to the other sprites. They almost look like moth wings. Is it noticeable enough to add to the trivia section? '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 20:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
:Sprite trivia sucks. Yes, they look different but technology those days was fairly crap. We generally don't include sprite trivia, though there are a few exceptions here and here. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

== Butterfree/Venomoth conspiracy ==

I think it's worth noting the undeniable resemblance that Butterfree has with Venonat and the Venomoth has with the Caterpie family. Maybe this deserves a trivia entry? The original Venomoth art shows it with yellow circles, like Caterpie which never showed up afterward, probably to correct the fact that the sprites were switched (perhaps on accident, or perhaps because Venomoth looks more moth-like and Butterfree looks more butterfly-like, or perhaps even because thinking forward, Venomoth wouldn't have been as popular a choice for the anime character to wield. [[User:The Great Ratsby|The Great Ratsby]] 14:20, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
:Speculation and opinion. So no. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 18:07, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
:: This is described on the TV Tropes wiki as a "throw it in" (e.g. fan speculation retroactively made canon by the owners), so it's definitely a plausible possibility -- but without an official source (TV Tropes being a fan-contributed wiki itself) to confirm the rumor, the only way to mention it would be as explicit fan speculation. E.g:
:: ''Butterfree's design bears a strong resemblance to {{p|Venonat}}, leading to some speculation over whether it was intended to be the design for {{p|Venomoth}} instead.'' --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 19:09, 12 January 2011 (UTC)''

==Trivia worthy?==
I have an old 2001 issue of Beckett's Pokemon magazine that states in the first generation of Pokemon that Butterfree was the only Pokemon capable of knowing 8 moves at once. Is it worth putting in the trivia section? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 19:15, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
:Also worth noting that Butterfree is one of the few part flying Pokemon that can't learn Fly? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 19:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
::The Fly bit doesn't belong here, because Butterfree isn't alone. See the first trivia point [[Bug (type)#Trivia|here]]. The other bit, no, because I'm pretty sure it's not true. No Pokémon can know more than four moves at a time in the games. I think magazines and guidebooks have made too many mistakes for them to be noted on the Pokémon pages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:30, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==

I have a theory that Cater"pie" (pronounced like "pea"), Meta"pod", and "Butter"free are part of a food-themed naming convention (particularly that of peas), but my editions stating this as possibility were reversed. To a lesser extent (not present in my edits), "Cater" (pronounced as in the act of food catering) and "pie" (pronounced as the dessert) also have culinary implications, and (reaching further around) "Meta" could refer to one's "meta"bolism. I also once received "free" food at a Burger King, a known sponsor. Am I alone? Also, why will no girls date me? --[[User:GrowlitheandEkans|GrowlitheandEkans]] 03:49, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

'''Ambipom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エテボース''' ''Eteboth'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Aipom}} via [[level]]-up while knowing {{m|Double Hit}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ambipom is a much larger and advanced form of {{p|Aipom}}. It has two tails, each with a red-tipped, three-fingered hand. These tails are much more versatile than Aipom's tail. Ambipom also has a nose that is much more visible than Aipom's.
====Gender differences====
The two strands of hair on top of Ambipom's head are longer on a female.

====Special abilities====

Ambipom can leap from tree to tree with brilliant speed. They also have solid [[Attack]] power and can use many devastating {{t|Fighting}}-type moves.

===Behavior===
To eat, Ambipom deftly shucks nuts with its two tails. Now that it has two hands on its tails, it only rarely uses its arms. Ambipom work in large colonies and make rings by linking their tails, apparently in friendship.

===Habitat===

Ambipom live in large colonies in heavily wooded areas along with their young, Aipom.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Dawn's Ambipom.png|250px|right|thumb|{{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in the anime]]
Dawn's Aipom, formerly {{Ash}}'s, evolved into an {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} in [[DP060| ''Journey to the Unown!'']]. Upon evolving, it matured greatly, and became Dawn's most talented Pokémon for [[contest]]s. She was later given to [[O]] to train in ping pong.

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
* Ambipom is the only Pokémon to have a base stat total of 482.
* Out of all the Pokémon whose pre-evolved forms require a move to evolve, Ambipom's is the only one that needs to know Double Hit.
===Origin===
It appears to have been based on a {{wp|monkey}}, with an exaggerated concept of a {{wp|prehensile tail}}. It may also be considered to be a two-tailed lemur.
====Name origin====
Its English name comes from a combination of the prefix ''Ambi'', meaning ''both'', and what may be the word ''palm''. It could also come from ''ambidexterous'', meaning being both right- and left-handed, and ''palm''.

The Japanese name may contain 猿 ''en'', monkey, 手 ''te'', hand, and the English word ''both'', referring to the hands on its tail. エテ ''ete'' can also be taken to mean ''monkey''.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Ash is apparently based on the main character of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]], {{ga|Red}}. He shares his name with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His Japanese name can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智). His English last name is a pun on the original English Pokémon motto, "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]".

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]].]]

Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn and unskilled [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the irreverent {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]] as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal; however, and when he showed his willingness to give up his own safety to keep Pikachu safe, he formed a strong bond of friendship with his Pokémon. This would set his course for the future.

However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. He [[captured Pokémon|caught]] his [[Ash's Caterpie|first Pokémon]] by luck, knew nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was reluctant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming a victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when his {{AP|Charizard}}, his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him due to his inexperience until [[EP105|he had proven himself]] to the powerful Fire-type.

Ash's dedication to his goal paid off over time, and after earning his first eight badges, he competed in the [[Indigo League]]. He advanced further in the rounds than Gary, making it to Round Five while Gary lost his fourth round. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skill, take on new challenges, and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions, triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to [[Ash's friends|his friends]], his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them and learning where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, {{AP|his Charizard|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat and have Charizard mount a close-range attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without making it evolve, as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. At first, he was hesitant to let his Pokémon evolve to get stronger, but, as shown in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, he has no problem at all in allowing his team members to reach their evolved forms, except for Pikachu.

[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.]]
[[Image:Ash No Hat.PNG|right|frame|200px|Ash without {{AP|his hat|hat}}.]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. This would later be contradicted in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]''; however, when he starts chasing and shouting at Aipom for his hat being stolen in a manner similar to Mankey.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on his {{AP|friends}}, particularly the maternal skills of [[Brock]]. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.

[[Image:AshAura.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]].]]

Ash apparently has a close connection with [[Legendary Pokémon]], especially {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Lugia}}, {{an|Latias}}, {{an|Shaymin}} and {{an|Giratina}}. In the English dub of the [[The Power of One|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world. Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient [[aura]] guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses [[aura]] again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well.

He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, though he has stated that the contest he got it for was the only one he intends on entering. He also has one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the contests held there. Ash also carries around a broken [[Poké Ball]], of which the other half belongs to Gary and is a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry, as well as [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift, and also half of a ribbon he received in a contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto.
 

===Family===
Ash lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father was never introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer that began his journey in Pallet Town, but it is unclear whether he is still living. There has been much discussion in the fandom as to the identity of Ash's father, though the writers have chosen to not focus on this aspect of Ash's life. Common characters put forward by fans for the role are [[Giovanni]], [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. 

An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced at the series, depending on its necessity to Ash's further maturity and development as a Trainer.

Ash is an only child, breaking from the tradition of several other main characters, with the exception of {{an|Dawn}} and possibly {{Tracey}}, whose siblings are often a foil or focal point in their lives.

===[[Pokémon]]===
[[File:Ash party DP133.png|thumb|280px|Ash and his current party]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime's run. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome the toughest of challenges. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks, but he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash tends to battle in a fairly unorthodox manner as well, and his Pokémon often reflect this.

==In the manga==
{{mangastub}}
The [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|manga version]] of Ash Ketchum is based on the anime version, but there are many differences between the two. For example, while the anime version of Ash is indifferent to love, romance, or members of the opposite gender (or same gender, some may argue), the manga version of Ash has a huge crush on Gary's sister, [[May Oak]]. He's also prone to quickly falling in love just like Brock, but to a much more subtle/less extreme degree.

==Trivia==
===Pokémon===
* Ash has captured each [[generation]]'s {{type2|Grass}} [[starter Pokémon]]: Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Treecko, and Turtwig.
* In both the [[Timeline of events in the anime#Kanto|Kanto]] and [[Timeline of events in the anime#Johto|Johto]] story arcs, Ash managed to capture all three of the starter Pokémon for both regions. This trend was broken in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, where he only captured {{AP|Treecko}}, while the other two were {{OP|May|Torchic}} and {{OP|Brock|Mudkip}}.
* The last Pokémon that Ash has captured in every [[region]] are a part of [[:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|one-evolution families]], namely {{AP|Phanpy|Donphan}} in [[Johto]], {{AP|Snorunt|Glalie}} in [[Hoenn]], {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} in [[Kanto]] and {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in [[Sinnoh]].
* All together, Ash has seen at least twenty-seven different species of legendary Pokémon, and at least ten of them multiple times.
* All of Ash's primate-based Pokémon have been under the control of someone other than Ash at any point ({{AP|Primeape}} is currently under Anthony's command, {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} was under Dawn's ownership and is currently being trained in [[Vermilion City]], and his {{AP|Monferno}} was formerly owned by Paul.
**All three of these primate-based Pokémon were also shown evolving on-screen, and none of them evolved in the care of their original trainer (Primeape evolved in the wild just prior to Ash capturing it, Ambipom evolved under Dawn's care, and Monferno evolved under Ash's ownership.)
* The three {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] Ash owns are each at a different evolutionary stage. {{AP|Cyndaquil}} is in its first, {{AP|Monferno}} its second, and {{AP|Charizard}} its third.

===Challenges/Gym related===
* In each region (except for the Orange Islands), Ash always loses against at least one of the [[Gym Leader]]s before challenging them to a rematch.
* During his adventures in Kanto, the Orange Islands, and Johto, Ash pinned his badges to the inside of his jacket. From Hoenn onwards, they have been kept in a case.
* Discounting [[Koga]], who was a [[Gym Leader]] at the time of Ash's battle against him, Ash has so far battled three [[Elite Four]] members, namely [[Lorelei|Prima]], {{EF|Drake}} and [[Agatha]], losing to all three.
* The longest time between episodes that Ash has gone without obtaining a [[badge]] was the 31-episode gap between ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' and ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''.

===Miscellaneous===
[[File:Ash maid.jpg|200px|thumb|Ash crossdressing for the third time.]]
* Ash has crossdressed once in each anime series: The first time he did this was in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', in the [[original series]]. He crossdressed a second time in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'', in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'' marked the third time he crossdressed, in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Each time Ash has crossdressed, he was never willing to do so and was coerced or forced into it in some way.
** In addition to dressing as a girl, Ash has dressed up as fruit on at least two occasions. The first time, he dressed as an apple in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'' while the second he dressed as an aubergine in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]''. On both occasions he was used to lure a large Pokémon.
* Several of the variety of {{wp|ash tree}}s, from which his name could be derived, are related to Kanto in some way: not only are there trees known as the "red ash", "green ash", and "blue ash", for the first three games, but also the "indigo ash", for the [[Indigo Plateau]].

'''Swalot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルノーム''' ''Marunoom'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Gulpin}} starting at [[level]] 26.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swalot is a tall, purple, blob-like Pokémon. It has a single row of black rhombuses running across what would be its mid-section. Swalot's hands have three fingers instead of two. Swalot has red, beady eyes and yellow whiskers.
====Gender differences====
A female Swalot has shorter whiskers than a male.

====Special abilities====
Swalot's large, cavernous mouth can easily gulp down something as large as a car tire. Its {{m|Gastro Acid|stomach acid}} can dissolve virtually anything.

Swalot's pores secretes an incredibly toxic fluid.

===Behavior===
Swalot portrays behavior similar to {{p|Gulpin}}. It is known to eat in large quantities, most likely because its powerful stomach can handle anything.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Like Gulpin, Swalot live in grassy plains. However, Swalot are a bit harder to find.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Swalot anime.jpg|right|thumb|[[Dominick]]'s Swalot]]
Swalot first appeared in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]''. The Poison Bag Pokémon belong to a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Anthony (coordinator)|Anthony]], who used it to compete in the [[Grand Festival]].

In ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]'', a trainer named [[Dominick]] used a Swalot and {{p|Tropius}} to battle [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Torkoal}}. Corphish managed to defeat Dominick's Swalot.

A Swalot that was painted to look like a {{p|Muk}} was shown at the "[[Pokémon Cosplay]] Convention" in ''[[DP033|All Dressed with Somewhere To Go]]''.

[[Paul]]'s brother, [[Reggie]], also owns a Swalot which appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

{{Dex

|emeralddex=Its powerful stomach acid is capable of digesting almost anything. The one thing in the whole world a Swalot can't digest is its own stomach.
|firereddex=It can {{M|swallow}} a tire whole in one gulp. It secretes a horribly toxic fluid from the pores on its body.

Swalot may be based on the {{wp|blobfish}}.
====Name origin====
Swalot's name is possibly a shortening of ''swallow a lot'', as in eating or drinking a large amount. Its Japanese name is based on 丸呑み ''marunomi'', swallowing whole and 飲み込む ''nomikomu'', to gulp down.

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|happiness]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Munchlax has a teal-colored body with a cream-colored spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream-colored feet with three clawed toes.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Munchlax's abilities are about the same as its evolved form, Snorlax, only weaker. However, some moves that are unique to Munchlax are {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Stockpile}}, {{m|Swallow}}, {{m|Last Resort}}, and {{m|Metronome}}.

===Behavior===
Munchlax behaves quite opposite of its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}, as it is somewhat hyperactive. It is very similar with its eating patterns, however. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food. Munchlax tend to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. It can also eat very many servings of food at a time, and rarely gets full.

===Habitat===
Wild Munchlax can only be found in [[honey trees]] in the games, so it is apparent that they spend most of their time eating honey off of honey trees, although this is not officially confirmed.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Munchlax eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. It will eat nearly anything. It can rarely become full and will eat constantly, unlike Snorlax, who eats in between sleeping.

==In the anime==
[[Image:BerryBerryInteresting!.jpg|thumb|right|210px|[[May's Munchlax]]]]
A Munchlax first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it evolved into a Snorlax to stay afloat in the Block Bot flood, making it the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

{{an|May}} currently owns a {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, which she captured in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]''.

A Munchlax appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''.

A trainer named [[Kylie]] owns a Munchlax, which was seen in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP076|Munchlax|Dawn's Pokédex|Munchlax, the Big Eater Pokémon. It gobbles up its own body weight in {{pkmn|food}} each day, and it {{m|Swallow|swallows}} its food without almost any chewing.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
{{Special|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax.
===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]===
In [[DPA05|the fifth chapter]], a [[Collector]], [[Ruin Maniac]], {{OBP|Psychic|trainer class}} and [[Galactic Grunt]] are all searching for a Munchlax, which is said to be very rare. Its {{a|Pickup}} ability takes Hareta's Pokédex but Munchlax returns it later.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:MunchlaxBrawl.jpg|right|thumb|Munchlax after eating something in Smashville]]
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Munchlax walks around and {{m|Swallow|eats}} items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy or a Poké Ball.

==Game data==

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}}, in terms of base stats, is the slowest non-glitched Pokémon.
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on September 10, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in two games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]; [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Dash]]. Munchlax was also obtainable, by hacking, in the first Mystery Dungeon.
* Though Munchlax appears to be dark blue in color, it belongs to the [[List of Pokémon by color#Black|black color group]].
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the only Pokémon who learn {{m|Stockpile}} by leveling up, but don't learn both {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}}. Munchlax doesn't learn {{m|Spit Up}}, while {{p|Qwilfish}} doesn't learn {{m|Swallow}}.
* It is the second Pokémon that has evolved in a movie, after {{p|Metapod}} in ''[[Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.
* Munchlax has the highest [[base stat]] total of all baby Pokémon, as well as the highest base HP.
* Munchlax is the heaviest [[baby Pokémon]].
===Origin===
Munchlax is most likely based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its habits may also be based on the fact that bears eat a lot of food before hibernating, which Snorlax seems to do a lot more of.
====Name origin====
Munchlax's name is a combination of ''munch'', to chew on food, and ''lax'' or it came from the word re''lax''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of {{p|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, ''Kabigon'', and ''baby''. It may also be from 権兵衛 ''gonbē'', popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mampfaxo - a combination of ''mampfen'' (to munch) and '''Relaxo''' (the German name for Snorlax)
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Goinfrex - From ''goinfre'' (glutton), and ''extra''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 먹고자 ''Meokgoja'' - Literally "eat and sleep".
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 小卡比 ''Xiao Ka Bi'' or 卡比仔 in Cantonese

Where can i get a bigger picture of it?--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 03:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

I don't know about the picture, but I know that we don't use citations, so I'm totally erasing that citation.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 21:23, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

== Was it true? ==

There was supposed to be like seven versions of the games but gamefreak could not afford it.--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 01:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
:Where in the world have you read or listened to that? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 21:57, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
::I read it a long time ago in some magazine talking about some games that were being developed in japan.--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 19:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I think I’ve read that too... perhaps an interview with Satoshi Tajiri or Shigeru Miyamoto? I think maybe it wasn’t about finance so much as taking advice from a senior game designer about simplifying in order to get it done( like how ''Zelda''’s ''Triforce'' trilogy became the ''Oracle'' duo). Still, I wouldn’t add it unless someone finds the interview for reference. --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 21:48, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

== Beta names of Pokémon ==

Is it worth mentioning reasons why the names were changed? For example, the fact that it would impossible to trademark words like "Lucky" and "dodo"? --[[User:NP Chilla|NP Chilla]] 16:37, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Umm...some of the names there are the same... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 18:34, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

That's not the issue; the issue is that they were changed for a second time and possible reasons behind it. :) [[User:NP Chilla|NP Chilla]] 16:44, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

History of Pokémon

2009-07-03T16:35:41Z

NP Chilla: /* The future of Pokémon */ endless sounds verz negative

{{Featured}}
:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[Image:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over a decade from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.

==Early days==
[[Image:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|Shigeru Miyamoto]]With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire, which led to concept for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, the artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. Before the first Pokémon games were released in Japan in 1996, sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[Game Boy Camera]] in 1995. Around this time, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[Image:Pokemon_green_box_ja.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green Box]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27th, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Captured Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20th, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The franchise also won many manga interpretations, the first being {{ma|Pocket Monsters}}. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Special]], [[Pokémon Special volume 1|the first volume of which]] was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997.

[[Shogakukan]] published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23rd, 1997.

On April 25th, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in Pokémon merchandise. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as one in New York.

===Conquering the world===
North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9th, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]].

[[Image:Anime_Ash.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum from the anime]]Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful..

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18th, 1998, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back|Pokémon the First Movie]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10th, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18th, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10th, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as one of (if not ''the'') most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12th, 1998, and in North America on November 6th, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let one interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|filler season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[The Power of One|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17th, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21st, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21st, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of [[Todd Snap]], a character previously introduced in the anime) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27th, 1999.

On April 14th, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28th, 1999.

A sequel to the {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30th, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29th, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the Stadium series from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

[[Image:Pokemon Live cover.jpg|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover]]In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of [[Giovanni]] when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[Image:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning, it was known that 151 was not the end of things. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was owned by a [[Misty|main character]], and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[The Power of One|the second movie]].

On November 21st, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured.

The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous of which probably being [[gender]]s for most Pokémon, which allowed for {{pkmn|breeding}}. Also, [[time]] came into play, which allowed for differing events in the day, night, and morning, and [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[happiness]] system. [[Alternate coloration]] also first appeared, most importantly the [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that existed in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14th, 1999 and in the US on October 14th, 2000. ''[[Spell of the Unown|Pokémon 3: The Movie]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8th, 2000 in Japan and on April 6th, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called [[Neo Genesis]] featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in USA on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21st, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4th, 2000.

[[Image:Stadium2.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Stadium 2 Box]]On December 14th, 2000, a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan called {{g|Stadium 2}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25th, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[third version]] was made in Japan called {{v|Crystal}} and was released December 14th, 2000 in Japan and July 21st, 2001 in North America. Pokémon Crystal had several changes made. {{p|Suicune}} was the title character and the focus of the plot. This was also the first portable Pokémon game that featured animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received an added bonus of receiving the Pokémon known as {{p|Celebi}} through a wireless link, and also being able to trade wirelessly using a cellphone and the Mobile Adapter. Trainers were, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
On December 30th, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5th, 2001.

Another movie, ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7th, 2001, and in North America on October 25th, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The [[Pokémon Special]] manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8th, 2001, when [[Pokémon Special volume 8|Volume 8]] was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Special)|a new chapter]].

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[Legendary Beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30th, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13th, 2002, the fifth and last movie of the [[original series]], ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16th, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}} and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in 2 [[PK10|Pikachu]] [[PK11|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[Pokémon Heroes|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through them, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent ones being [[Pokémon Contests]], [[double battle]]s, Pokémon [[abilities]] and [[natures]] for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also new in these versions were the more detailed [[weather conditions]] and the new villains: [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the overhaul in the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

The anime started a new series, [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]], which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games, and reached North America almost a year later. A lot was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19th, 2003 in Japan and on June 1st, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17th, 2004 in Japan and on January 22nd, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as [[Misty]], [[Brock]], {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31st, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18th, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30th 2003 in Japan, July 11th 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13th, 2003, about a TV-broadcasting network that airs a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player as test audience. This game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', and it reached North America on December 1st, 2003.

On July 28th, 2003, [[Pokémon Special volume 15|Volume 15]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Special)|another chapter]] for the manga, following the third generation story.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1st, 2003 in Japan and on August 23rd, 2003 in North America.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21st, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The main new addition to the Pokémon universe in this game was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[Image:Pokemon_FireRed_boxart_EN-US.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version Box]]On January 29th, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. They arrived in North America on September 9th, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, only in Generation III standards, wireless connection and with an added region - the [[Sevii Islands]]. They also gave [[Event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]] which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys over to those games.

Not finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to go with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, called {{v|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16th, 2004, and in North America on May 1st, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connection as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as a return to Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, re-battling Gym Leaders, changes in plot and animations for all Pokémon, like in Pokémon Crystal.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{ho|Battle Frontier}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16th, 2005) and ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15th, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, [[Pokémon Special volume 22| volume 22]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] was published, starting the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, [[Pokémon Special volume 26| volume 26]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] was published, starting the {{chap|Emerald}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2nd, 2004 and in North America on March 14th, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games to come made for [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4th, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3rd, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20th, 2005 in Japan and on March 6th, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28th, 2005 in Japan and 3 days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[Image:Ranger_box.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger Box]]A new concept saw light on November 17th, 2005, with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] - a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] - in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon at the beginning of the game. The games, that were released in North America on September 18th, 2006, have received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23rd, 2006. This time, players didn't play regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in the North America on October 30th, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the ninth movie]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as Pokémon's tenth anniversary, and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''[[Pokémon X]] - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29th, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13th to October 31st, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by {{wp|Kaiyodo}}. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[Image:Lucariodvdfc0.jpg|thumb|right|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon - {{p|Munchlax}} - in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[Destiny Deoxys|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} - a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28th, 2006, and in North America on April 22nd, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered an actual 3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime [[Diamond & Pearl series]] [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series, while so far being only partway through, form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14th, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24th, 2008 on North American televisions. The [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|second part]] premiered in Japan on July 19th, 2008, and aired on February 13th, 2009 on North American televisions.

A new [[Diamond & Pearl (TCG)|TCG set]] was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the USA on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[Image:PBRAmerican.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution Box]]On December 14th, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25th, 2007.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13th, 2007 and in North America on April 20th, 2008. Just like before, {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|an anime adaptation}} was also produced. It was followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18th, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of Sky had additional content. {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Another anime adaptation}} was produced as well.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20th, 2008 and in North America on November 10th, 2008. [[DP071|An anime special]] was also produced, and aired on the same day as the Japanese release.

Like with Pokémon Box in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25th, 2008 in Japan and on June 9th, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13th, 2008 in Japan and on March 22nd, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

==The future of Pokémon==
[[Image:GSDS_logo.png|right|thumb|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver's logos]]The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans long over a decade, and is rich with four [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, three series of {{pkmn|anime}} complete with 11 {{pkmn|movie}}s, a popular series of {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]], and plenty of {{cat|music}}, but it is far from over.

{{game|Platinum}} was first released in Japan on September 13, 2008, with subsequent releases in North America on March 22, 2009, and PAL regions staggered through May 2009. This game ended the [[Generation IV]] story set in the Sinnoh region, but like [[Generation III]] brought about remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] games, a remake of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, has been confirmed to be released for the [[Nintendo DS]] titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The paired games are expected to be available in Japan in fall, 2009.

The [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|last part]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} movie trilogy has already been confirmed, but little is known about it. It is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on July 18, 2009.

It is widely believed that a [[Future generations of Pokémon|fifth generation of Pokémon]] is inevitable, and that the [[Pokémon world]] will continue to grow with it. While no official announcement has been made by the game developers, anime director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] said in an interview that there will definitely be a fifth generation of Pokémon. The new generation will probably extend the Pokémon universe in similar fashion as the older generations did, with new Pokémon, a new region, new characters and features. However, no details have been confirmed and there is only a vague picture of the future of Pokémon: only time shall tell.

History of Pokémon

:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[Image:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over a decade from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.

==Early days==
[[Image:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|Shigeru Miyamoto]]With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire, which led to concept for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, the artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. Before the first Pokémon games were released in Japan in 1996, sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[Game Boy Camera]] in 1995. Around this time, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[Image:Pokemon_green_box_ja.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green Box]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27th, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Captured Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20th, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The franchise also won many manga interpretations, the first being {{ma|Pocket Monsters}}. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Special]], [[Pokémon Special volume 1|the first volume of which]] was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997.

[[Shogakukan]] published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23rd, 1997.

On April 25th, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in Pokémon merchandise. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as one in New York.

===Conquering the world===
North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9th, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]].

[[Image:Anime_Ash.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum from the anime]]Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful..

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18th, 1998, ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back|Pokémon the First Movie]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10th, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18th, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10th, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as one of (if not ''the'') most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12th, 1998, and in North America on November 6th, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let one interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|filler season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[The Power of One|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17th, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21st, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21st, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of [[Todd Snap]], a character previously introduced in the anime) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27th, 1999.

On April 14th, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28th, 1999.

A sequel to the {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30th, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29th, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the Stadium series from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

[[Image:Pokemon Live cover.jpg|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover]]In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of [[Giovanni]] when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[Image:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning, it was known that 151 was not the end of things. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was owned by a [[Misty|main character]], and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[The Power of One|the second movie]].

On November 21st, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured.

The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous of which probably being [[gender]]s for most Pokémon, which allowed for {{pkmn|breeding}}. Also, [[time]] came into play, which allowed for differing events in the day, night, and morning, and [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[happiness]] system. [[Alternate coloration]] also first appeared, most importantly the [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that existed in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14th, 1999 and in the US on October 14th, 2000. ''[[Spell of the Unown|Pokémon 3: The Movie]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8th, 2000 in Japan and on April 6th, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called [[Neo Genesis]] featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in USA on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21st, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4th, 2000.

[[Image:Stadium2.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Stadium 2 Box]]On December 14th, 2000, a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan called {{g|Stadium 2}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25th, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[third version]] was made in Japan called {{v|Crystal}} and was released December 14th, 2000 in Japan and July 21st, 2001 in North America. Pokémon Crystal had several changes made. {{p|Suicune}} was the title character and the focus of the plot. This was also the first portable Pokémon game that featured animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received an added bonus of receiving the Pokémon known as {{p|Celebi}} through a wireless link, and also being able to trade wirelessly using a cellphone and the Mobile Adapter. Trainers were, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
On December 30th, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5th, 2001.

Another movie, ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7th, 2001, and in North America on October 25th, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The [[Pokémon Special]] manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8th, 2001, when [[Pokémon Special volume 8|Volume 8]] was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Special)|a new chapter]].

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[Legendary Beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30th, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13th, 2002, the fifth and last movie of the [[original series]], ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16th, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}} and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in 2 [[PK10|Pikachu]] [[PK11|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[Pokémon Heroes|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through them, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent ones being [[Pokémon Contests]], [[double battle]]s, Pokémon [[abilities]] and [[natures]] for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also new in these versions were the more detailed [[weather conditions]] and the new villains: [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the overhaul in the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

The anime started a new series, [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]], which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games, and reached North America almost a year later. A lot was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19th, 2003 in Japan and on June 1st, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17th, 2004 in Japan and on January 22nd, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as [[Misty]], [[Brock]], {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31st, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18th, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30th 2003 in Japan, July 11th 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13th, 2003, about a TV-broadcasting network that airs a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player as test audience. This game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]'', and it reached North America on December 1st, 2003.

On July 28th, 2003, [[Pokémon Special volume 15|Volume 15]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Special)|another chapter]] for the manga, following the third generation story.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1st, 2003 in Japan and on August 23rd, 2003 in North America.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21st, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The main new addition to the Pokémon universe in this game was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[Image:Pokemon_FireRed_boxart_EN-US.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version Box]]On January 29th, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. They arrived in North America on September 9th, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, only in Generation III standards, wireless connection and with an added region - the [[Sevii Islands]]. They also gave [[Event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]] which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys over to those games.

Not finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to go with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, called {{v|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16th, 2004, and in North America on May 1st, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connection as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as a return to Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, re-battling Gym Leaders, changes in plot and animations for all Pokémon, like in Pokémon Crystal.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{ho|Battle Frontier}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16th, 2005) and ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15th, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, [[Pokémon Special volume 22| volume 22]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] was published, starting the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, [[Pokémon Special volume 26| volume 26]] of the [[Pokémon Special]] was published, starting the {{chap|Emerald}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2nd, 2004 and in North America on March 14th, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games to come made for [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4th, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3rd, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20th, 2005 in Japan and on March 6th, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28th, 2005 in Japan and 3 days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[Image:Ranger_box.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger Box]]A new concept saw light on November 17th, 2005, with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] - a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] - in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon at the beginning of the game. The games, that were released in North America on September 18th, 2006, have received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23rd, 2006. This time, players didn't play regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in the North America on October 30th, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the ninth movie]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as Pokémon's tenth anniversary, and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''[[Pokémon X]] - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29th, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13th to October 31st, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by {{wp|Kaiyodo}}. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[Image:Lucariodvdfc0.jpg|thumb|right|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon - {{p|Munchlax}} - in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[Destiny Deoxys|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} - a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28th, 2006, and in North America on April 22nd, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered an actual 3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime [[Diamond & Pearl series]] [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series, while so far being only partway through, form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14th, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24th, 2008 on North American televisions. The [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|second part]] premiered in Japan on July 19th, 2008, and aired on February 13th, 2009 on North American televisions.

A new [[Diamond & Pearl (TCG)|TCG set]] was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the USA on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[Image:PBRAmerican.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution Box]]On December 14th, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25th, 2007.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13th, 2007 and in North America on April 20th, 2008. Just like before, {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2|an anime adaptation}} was also produced. It was followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18th, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of Sky had additional content. {{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky|Another anime adaptation}} was produced as well.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20th, 2008 and in North America on November 10th, 2008. [[DP071|An anime special]] was also produced, and aired on the same day as the Japanese release.

Like with Pokémon Box in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25th, 2008 in Japan and on June 9th, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13th, 2008 in Japan and on March 22nd, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

==The future of Pokémon==
[[Image:GSDS_logo.png|right|thumb|Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver's logos]]The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans long over a decade, and is rich with four [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, three series of {{pkmn|anime}} complete with 11 {{pkmn|movie}}s, endless {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]], and plenty of {{cat|music}}, but it is far from over.

{{game|Platinum}} was first released in Japan on September 13, 2008, with subsequent releases in North America on March 22, 2009, and PAL regions staggered through May 2009. This game ended the [[Generation IV]] story set in the Sinnoh region, but like [[Generation III]] brought about remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] games, a remake of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, has been confirmed to be released for the [[Nintendo DS]] titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. The paired games are expected to be available in Japan in fall, 2009.

The [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|last part]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} movie trilogy has already been confirmed, but little is known about it. It is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on July 18, 2009.

It is widely believed that a [[Future generations of Pokémon|fifth generation of Pokémon]] is inevitable, and that the [[Pokémon world]] will continue to grow with it. While no official announcement has been made by the game developers, anime director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] said in an interview that there will definitely be a fifth generation of Pokémon. The new generation will probably extend the Pokémon universe in similar fashion as the older generations did, with new Pokémon, a new region, new characters and features. However, no details have been confirmed and there is only a vague picture of the future of Pokémon: only time shall tell.

One-hit knockout move

2009-07-03T14:15:43Z

NP Chilla: /* Trivia */ since levitate was introduced at the same time as levitate, that is not relivant

'''One-hit knockout moves''', commonly abbreviated as '''OHKO''' moves, are moves that, when used, cause the target's HP to drop to zero regardless of their [[stats]]. They are all highly inaccurate: given that their effect is to immediately make the target faint, as to have them much more accurate would further encourage their use to quickly and easily finish battles.

When used, they will always fail if the level of the target is higher than the level of the user, except in [[Generation I]], where they would fail if the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat was lower than the target's.

All one-hit knockout moves have 30% accuracy and a base of 5 {{PP}}. Pokémon with the ability {{a|Sturdy}} are unaffected by all of them, unless the user has the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}}. Pokémon also holding the item, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, are not entirely affected as it leaves the user with only 1 HP, due to Focus Sash's effect.

So far, there are four OHKO moves:
{| align="{{{align|center}}}" style="background: #ddf; border-radius:10px; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #ccf" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"
|-
! {{color2|000|Move}}
! {{color2|000|Elemental type|Type}}
! {{color2|000|Generation|Generation introduced}}
|- align="center" style="background:#FFF;"
| {{m|Fissure}}
| style="background:#{{ground color}}" | [[Ground (type)|{{color|FFF|Ground}}]]
| {{gen|I}}
|- align="center" style="background:#FFF;"
| {{m|Guillotine}}
| style="background:#{{normal color}}" | [[Normal (type)|{{color|FFF|Normal}}]]

|- align="center" style="background:#FFF;"
| {{m|Horn Drill}}

| {{m|Sheer Cold}}
| style="background:#{{ice color}}" | [[Ice (type)|{{color|FFF|Ice}}]]
| {{gen|III}}
|-
| colspan="3" |
|}

==Trivia==
* Due to the presence of these moves, {{p|Articuno}} has been used in many battles as it can also learn {{m|Mind Reader}} to make {{m|Sheer Cold}} sure to hit.
** The same was true of a {{p|Poliwrath}} traded forward from [[Generation I]] that had learned {{m|Fissure}}, and could learn Mind Reader in [[Generation II]].
* {{p|Lapras}} can learn three of these moves: {{m|Sheer Cold}}, {{m|Fissure}}, and {{m|Horn Drill}}.
* Before Generation III introduced Sheer Cold, all of these moves could not affect specific Pokémon. {{m|Guillotine}} and {{m|Horn Drill}} could not affect {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, and {{m|Fissure}} could not affect {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon.
* For [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] {{pkmn|battle}}s, under Standard Rules, these moves are forbidden. This is commonly called OHKO Clause or simply 'No OHKO moves'.

Pokémon Trainer

2009-06-21T20:28:07Z

NP Chilla: /* Trivia */

:''For the character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] referred to as "Pokémon Trainer," see [[Red (game)]].''
----
[[Image:Pokemon trainers.jpg|thumb|Pokémon Trainers: {{ga|Brendan}}, {{ga|May}}, {{ga|Blue}}, a [[Team Magma]] grunt, and a [[Team Aqua]] grunt.]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a person who {{pkmn2|captured|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for and {{pkmn|battle}}s with Pokémon. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are all Trainers.

==Background==
Many Trainers leave home at about the age of ten, sometimes accompanied with a [[starter Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon professor]]. Many will travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow - when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a battle.
[[Image:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|left|Trainers from different classes: A [[Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]], a [[Lass]], and a [[Bug Catcher]]]]
Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[Trainer class|classes]]: [[Youngster]]s tend to stay close to home, and [[Bug Catcher]]s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; [[Hiker]]s traverse mountains and caves, and [[Cool Trainer]]s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their Pokémon of choice, the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even among their classes, Trainers may vary greatly.

Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, he or she awards them a Pokémon League [[badge]]. However, the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a badge for other reasons, since the badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, [[Ash Ketchum]] won several of his early badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle.

Above the level of Gym Leaders are the [[Elite Four]] Trainers and {{pkmn|champion|Pokémon League champions}}. There are also a special class of Trainers known as the [[Frontier Brain]]s, but they are unique to {{game|Emerald}} and {{game|Platinum}}, and part of a privately owned institution known as the [[Battle Frontier]], and so may not be recognized by the League. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and can only be challenged if a Trainer has met requirements such as winning eight badges. Should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for him or her to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

== Super Smash Bros. Brawl ==
{{main|Red (game)#In the Super Smash Bros. series|Red}}
*There is a {{player|playable character}} called "Pokémon Trainer" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses members of the [[evolution]] families of the [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s to battle against the others.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Pokémon Trainer. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー ''Sā jussai, boku mo watashi mo torēnā.'' "Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."

Masahiro Sakurai

2009-06-17T20:32:21Z

NP Chilla: it's 2nd party, not 3rd party

'''Masahiro Sakurai''' ('''桜井政博''', born August 3, 1970) is a video game designer. He is credited for the creations and development of the [[wp:Kirby|Kirby]] series and the [[Super Smash Bros.]] games.

Sakurai was once an employee of HAL Laboratory, Inc., a second-party video game developer for Nintendo. It was here at HAL where he being 19, created Kirby. He would also develop [[Super Smash Bros.]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Melee|its sequel]]. Sakurai resigned from HAL on August 5, 2003 mostly out of belief that both video game industry and gamers believed in a sequel to every game HAL released. Many fans were in despair, believing that the Kirby and Super Smash Bros. series would cease development.

After his resignation from HAL, he worked at Q Entertainment, another game developer and designer. Sakurai announced formation of his own company, [[wp:Sora Ltd.|Sora Ltd.]] Along with other companies, they produced the highly-anticipated [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the third game to the Super Smash Bros. games. Currently, Sakurai began a first-party studio, Project Sora, which is owned by Nintendo and Sora Ltd.

'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Muk}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Grimer is a purple pile of poisonous sludge. It has saucer-like eyes and a gray mouth. Grimer may be distantly related to {{p|Koffing}}, another Pokémon that is associated with pollution.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Grimer emits a very pungent, noisome odor. Since Grimer's body lacks a solid form, it can slip through the smallest of openings. Grimer's germ-infested entrails cause the ground that it passes over to be unable to bear any plant life.

As far as Grimer's skills in battle are concerned, Grimer mainly attacks by flinging poisonous {{m|Sludge}} (or mud) at its foes. Grimer can also wield {{t|fire}}, {{t|electric}}ity, and various {{type2|Ghost}} attacks. Grimer is part of one of the four Pokémon evolutionary lines that can use {{m|Gunk Shot}}.

Grimer thrive anywhere there is pollution.

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

Grimer tend to feed on sludge, sewage, and other filthy things.
 
==In the anime==
[[Image:Grimer anime.JPG|thumb|right|210px|A group of Grimer in the anime.]]
When [[Celadon City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]] was a youngster, she got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. However, a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}} chased the Grimer off and saved her.

{{Ash}} and co. first encountered this filth-ridding Pokémon in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. They were gumming up the turbines in the power plant in [[Gringey City]]. Grimer and {{AP|Muk}} chased {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] after a negative comment on how they smelled was made. {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} chased them off, leaving Ash to capture the {{AP|Muk}} making another strong battler.

{{an|Dawn}} temporarily trained a Grimer in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Koga]] wears a Grimer on his shoulder in the form of a ninja outfit in [[Pokémon Special]]. He used it extensively to smother {{Special|Green}}, preventing him from breathing.

His daughter, [[Janine]], is later seen with a Grimer. She uses it against [[Falkner]] during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff, using its {{m|Minimize}} attack to outwit his {{p|Noctowl}}.

==Trivia==
* Grimer and {{p|Gastly}} are the only Pokémon who don't change weight during evolution.
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Grimer's anime debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer to cover their noses form the smell. However, in recent episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
* In recent 3D games, Grimer is black instead of purple.
* Grimer is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Shadow Punch}} through breeding. Coincidentally, Grimer and {{p|Muk}} are the only non-{{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon to learn this move.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge.
====Name origin====
Grimer's name seems to be a corruption of ''grime'', dirt. Its Japanese name may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' and べたべた ''betabeta'', both meaning sticky. The German name, Sleima, sounds like "{{wp|Slimer}}", a slimy ghost from ''{{wp|Ghostbusters}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Sleima - a tweaking of ''Schleim'' (slime)
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tadmorv - From ''tas de morve'' (heap of {{wp|mucus}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 질퍽이 ''Jilpeogi''

'''Dewgong''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュゴン''' ''Jugon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Seel}} starting at [[level]] 34.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
It resembles a seal. Its body is extremely streamlined. Its streamlined allows Dewgong to swim up to 8 knots, even in bitterly cold waters. Its fins are larger and stronger and its tail more developed than {{p|Seel|Seel's}}. Its long tail is able to change swimming direction quickly, when needed. It is covered in pure white coat of fur that obscures it from view of predators, when in the snow. It also has a layer of {{a|Thick Fat}}, that allows it to store thermal energy and protects it from intensely cold water and air.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Dewgong can either have the abilities [[Thick Fat]] or [[Hydration]]

===Behavior===
Dewgong are very active in bitterly cold tempretures. At night, Dewgong go out hunting for food, after sleeping most of the day. It loves to sleep under shallow ocean waters or on ice floes.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]] Dewgong usually live in frigid seas filled with ice floes.

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

==In the anime==
[[Image:Nice Pryce Baby.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Dewgong in the anime]]
The Seel belonging to the [[Cerulean Gym]] evolved into [[Dewgong (Cerulean Gym)|Dewgong]] in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''.

A Dewgong was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

A Dewgong has also been used by [[Pryce]] in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce Baby]]''.

A Dewgong appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Lorelei]] uses a Dewgong in [[Pokémon Special]]. It is capable of using {{m|Ice Beam}} to create paths of solid ice on which it moves, similar to {{wp|Iceman (comics)|Iceman}}.

In Volume 4 of [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Rudy]]'s sister is seen drowning with a Dewgong instead of a Seel like in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Trivia==
*"Manaty" was the original English name for Dewgong.
*Dewgong is the first {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
*Despite several of Dewgong's Pokédex entries referring to it having pure white fur, all of its sprites since Generation I have been slightly blue, a bit like those of Seel. However, Dewgong's shiny sprite is pure white.
===Origin===
Dewgong is based on the aquatic dwelling tropical mammal, the ''{{wp|dugong}}''. Its is of the same {{wp|Sirenia|Order}} as the {{wp|manatee}}, which resides in the Western Hemisphere.

The four {{wp|Evolution of sirenians|known living members}} of the Order ({{wp|Sirenia}}) all currently inhabit warm waters, and is a source of conflict with Dewgong's [[Ice (type)|Ice-type]] affinity. However, an extinct closer evolutionary relative from the same Family ({{wp|Dugongidae|Dugongidae}}), the {{wp|Steller's Sea Cow}}, once existed in the cold Arctic waters of the {{wp|Bering Sea}}.

While it is suggested that Dewgong was partially inspired by other water dwelling aquatic polar mammals; {{wp|seal}}s, {{wp|sea lion}}s, the {{wp|Harp Seal}}, the {{wp|Hooded Seal}}, the {{wp|ringed seal}}, et al.; the {{wp|Evolution_of_sirenians#Fossil_history|Sirenian fossil record}} suggests the prominence of enlarged incisors that are absent in the modern variants of the dugong, a feature that is noticeable in Dewgong.

====Name origin====
Dewgong's name is a portmanteau of {{wp|dew}} and ''{{wp|dugong}}'', as well as a corruption of the ''dugong''; a relative of the {{wp|manatee}}. ''Jugon'' is also a corruption of ''dugong''.

The ''Dew'' may refer to the natural phenomenon of water vapor condensing in the presence of a cold surface. Dew formation at sufficiently low temperatures turns into {{wp|frost}}; a perfect symbol of Dewgong's dual type affinity.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Lamantine - From ''lamantin'' (manatee).

'''Metapod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トランセル''' ''Trancell'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Caterpie}} starting at [[level]] 7, and it evolves into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at level 10.

==Biology==
====Physiology====
While Metapod is classified as a cocoon Pokémon, it bears more resemblance to a chrysalis. Its soft body is protected by a hard outer shell while it undergoes metamorphosis. While this shell is said to be as hard as steel, a large sudden impact could cause its vulnerable body to pop out, leaving it completely exposed. It shares many physiological and behavioral characteristics with {{p|Kakuna}}, suggesting that they may have a distant relationship.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Metapod possess a very limited range of movement. However, by {{m|Harden|hardening}} their outer shell, they can protect themselves from most kinds of enemies.

===Behavior===
In order to conserve as much energy as possible, Metapod generally remain motionless. They can be very difficult to spot in the wild, because their green coloration helps them blend in with the tree-top canopies. If it is discovered by an enemy it is unable to do anything other than harden its outer shell. While this is enough to deter most predators it does not offer complete protection, as the Metapod's insides still remain soft and vulnerable. Its second line of defense is to drop out of the trees using {{m|String Shot}}. Because of its vulnerability, Metapod evolve rapidly into their final evolutionary stage.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Metapod can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]]. They dangle themselves from leafy canopies using {{m|String Shot}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Metapod does not eat. It relies on the energy it stored as a {{p|Caterpie}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP004 017.jpg|thumb|right|{{AP|Metapod}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Butterfree|Ash's Metapod]]====
{{Ash}} had a Metapod that he caught as a {{p|Caterpie}} and evolved in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. It eventually evolved into {{p|Butterfree}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.

====Other====
[[Samurai]], in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', battled Ash's Metapod with his own Metapod, but because both Metapod only knew {{m|Harden}}, the battle went on for hours until a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}} forced the battle to end.

In ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]'', [[Bugsy]] used a Metapod against Ash for the Gym Battle. Unlike most Metapod, this one was actually able to fight back.

In ''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemma]]'', Zander's Caterpie became [[Giant Pokémon|giant-sized]] after eating some enhanced Rare Candies. Zander's Caterpie knocked down part of a radio tower in order to make a place for it to evolve into Metapod.

===Minor appearances===
A Metapod was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Metapod's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Also, {{Special|Yellow}}'s {{p|Caterpie}} was a Metapod briefly before evolving again into {{p|Butterfree}}. [[Bugsy]] also uses two Metapod on his team.

==Trivia==
* Metapod is tied with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}; they are the weakest evolved Pokémon in the games, by average base stats.
* Metapod shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kakuna}}, {{p|Silcoon}}, and {{p|Cascoon}}. They are all known as Cocoon Pokémon.
* Despite not being able to move, it can know {{m|Tackle}} if it evolves from {{p|Caterpie}}. Also, in {{game|Platinum}}, it can learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by evolution from Caterpie despite not having a visible mouth.
* Metapod has the same sprite in every [[Generation III]] game, making it one of the few Kanto natives in that generation to do so.
* Metapod is the first Pokémon to evolve in [[Pokémon 4Ever|a movie]].
===Origin===
Its design appears to be based upon a generic butterfly chrysalis, most likely a {{wp|Cabbage White}} or {{wp|Swallowtail}} chrysalis.
====Name origin====
Metapod's name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorphosis (biology)|metamorphosis}}'' and ''pod'', referring to its {{wp|chrysalis}} state. Its Japanese name appears to be a combination of ''transform'' and ''{{wp|cell}}'' or ''shell''.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Safcon - a combination of ''Safe'' ({{wp|safe}}) and ''Kokon'' (cocoon)
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Chrysacier - From ''{{wp|chrysalis}}'' and ''acier'', (steel).

If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the heirarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be inlcuded in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

Mount Coronet

2009-05-26T11:21:18Z

NP Chilla: /* In other languages */

{{Infobox location
|image=Mt._Coronet.png
|type=cave
|location_name=Mt. Coronet
|location=Center of [[Sinnoh]]
|region=Sinnoh
|generation={{Gen|IV}}
}}
'''Mt. Coronet''' (Japanese: '''テンガンざん''' ''Mt. Tengan'') is the highest mountain in the [[Sinnoh]] region. It is part of a long range of mountains that divide the [[Sinnoh]] region in half. Most of it is a deep cave, though there are several above-ground areas, in which it snows constantly.

Caves and entrances are cut out of Mt. Coronet to allow travel between the two sides of the [[Sinnoh]], but contains many other tunnels around the mountain. Mt. Coronet has entrances on {{rt|207}} which leads to [[Oreburgh City]], {{rt|208}} which leads to [[Hearthome City]], {{rt|211}} which leads to [[Celestic Town]], and {{rt|216}} which leads to [[Snowpoint City]]. The caves inside the mountain have paths blocked by rocks and boulders. There are several pools of water throughout the cave. After the [[HM]]s containing {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Defog}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Rock Climb}}, and {{m|Waterfall}} are obtained, the mountain is fully navigable.

According to one theory, Mt. Coronet is where the Sinnoh region began. When {{p|Arceus}} created {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, there was only time and space. The Sinnoh region was shaped around Mt. Coronet by {{p|Regigigas}}. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] was created and {{p|Heatran}} was formed in lava. Arceus created the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep atop the highest point on Mt. Coronet. This is where [[Spear Pillar]] is located, which is the meeting place of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, as well as the portal to the [[Distortion World]].

==Geography==
[[Image:Montecorona13jun08.gif‎|thumb|200px|Mt. Coronet with the [[Distortion World]] above]]
Mt. Coronet stands in the middles of the [[Sinnoh]] region, starting from the northern, snowy routes making its way down down to the very southern route, splitting the Sinnoh into two halves. It makes up a huge mountain range, with many peaks, but the true mountain lies right in the center of the region. It is the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region, and perhaps the highest in the Pokémon world. It is said in many legends that the Sinnoh was shaped around Mt. Coronet moved by {{p|Regigigas}}, when he was created. It is said that {{p|Arceus}}, the creator of the Pokémon world, rests at the highest point of the mountain until woken again one day. During Mt. Coronet's creation, [[Stark Mountain]] is created during this violent procedure, and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in lava. Mt. Coronet is also the centerpiece in many of the Sinnoh's tales and regions. The stained glass window in [[Foreign Building]] has a picture of the mountain with a dazzle of light coming from the summit, while many believe that Mt. Coronet has split Sinnoh forever, with the different colored {{p|Shellos}} proving it.

Coming from the north, on the eastern side of {{rt|216}}, Mt. Coronet has an entrance on the side of the mountain, which enters into a long cavern that is shaped like an upside down "L". The [[Iceberg Ruins]] can be found in this cavern, recognized by the two small rocks near the entrance of the ruin. By going further south, the cave leads into another chamber, deep within the cave. This floor is covered with [[fog|deep fog]], which makes obstacles hard to see. There is a lake deep within this cavern, that carved out the inside of the mountain. The rare and exclusive {{p|Feebas}} lives in this large lake, but does not appear regularly. Feebas is an elusive find within the depths of the mountain. Instead of fishing in any location as customary with most Pokémon, Feebas is located in only four water blocks in the lake. There is no easy method to determine which block contains Feebas, as the only way is to drop a line into each and every water block on the route. Once hooked, however, Feebas is simple to catch. Traveling further south, is a stairway up to the ground floor. By traveling east then south, the cave entrance from {{rt|211}} can be seen, which will lead out to eastern side of the mountain. The western side of Route 211 can also be accessed, but requires {{m|Strength}} to get across.

[[File:Coronet1.png|thumb|left|Ground floor]]
The southern side of the Mt. Coronet can be entered through the {{rt|207}} and {{rt|208}} entrances. This section of the cave is small, with several small pools of water. Some can be traveled across to collect items, or to get across to the other side of the cave. The northern pool of water can be {{m|surf}}ed across to make their way to the stairway up the mountain. The only way to get up to the higher section of ground where the stairs are, is to use {{m|Rock Climb}}.

[[File:Coronet2.png|thumb|right|Upper floor]]
By going up the stairway, the cave leads to a larger floor. The chamber weaves around in a maze-like structure, where many items can be obtained along the way. By traveling north, then west, then down a narrow gap between two walls, the cave weaves around, up many stairs, and across several bridges. There is a secret exit to the cave, which will end out at the side of the mountain, above the entrance to the western side of {{rt|211}} to the cave. By traveling deeper into this section, the entrance to the next section can be found. In {{g|Platinum}}, there is a large barrier in front of the door to the upper floors, until Team Galactic brake it down. The barrier has artwork of {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} similar to the etching on the wall of the Celestic Ruins. The cave then leads to more small connector caves, which leads to dead ends. One entrance will lead out to the side of the mountain.

[[File:Coronet3.png|thumb|left|Upper floor]]
Coming out of the interior of the mountain, the cave comes to an end, exiting to the side of the mountain. The side of the mountain is covered in snow, which can be crossed by traveling along the narrow ledges at the side of the mountain. By traveling through the [[tall grass]], the mountain side can be scaled up to other ledge. At this point there are three pathes; one path traveling east and into another section of the cave, one traveling further up the rocky cliff, and another traveling west, past [[tall grass|grassy areas]] and movable rocks, into another section of the cave. By traveling further up the rocky cliff, a patch of grass and a hidden item under a rock can be found. By entering the cave at the eastern side of the mountain face, another section can be explored. A small river of water, with a raging waterfall can be accessed by traveling east in this section of cave. By traveling up the waterfall, a secret cave section can be located., which contains a {{DL|Plate|Stone Plate}} in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, or a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}} and a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}} in {{game|Platinum}}. In order to press though the maze of Mt. Coronet, the western side of the cave section must be explored. By traveling further on, the path will make its way to the eastern side of the mountain face which also snows constantly. By traveling around this area, there are another two enterances to the caves, one in an indented part of the mountain side, and another further on, past patches of tall grass and movable rocks. The second cave will lead up the mountain, and eventually lead to the summit and [[Spear Pillar]], whereas the the first cave will lead down the mountain, and eventually connect to the first floor and the entreance on {{rt|211}} near [[Celestic Town]].

Mt. Coronet appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Although the player must pass through the mountain several times on their journey through Sinnoh, the most important events within it relate to [[Team Galactic]]. Early in the game, [[Cyrus]] is encountered in Mt. Coronet's caves when the player travels through to eastern Sinnoh. Later on, Cyrus's plans bring Team Galactic to the mountain once again. Many Galactic Grunts invade the mountain, patrolling inside the inside so no one gets past. In {{g|Platinum}}, there is a large barrier in front of the door to the upper floors, so that adventurers don't stumble across [[Spear Pillar]] and get lost. Team Galactic brake down the barrier before trying to get to [[Spear Pillar]], letting others go to higher floors.

===Spear Pillar===
{{main|Spear Pillar}}

Spear Pillar is located on the peak of Mt. Coronet, the highest point in the Sinnoh region. Spear Pillar contains the ancient ruins of home of {{p|Arceus}}, and the summoning of {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}. At the Spear Pillar in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, Cyrus summons {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}}, whose power is too much for him. The legendary Pokémon is left for the hero to defeat or capture. In {{game|Platinum}}, Cyrus summons both Dialga and Palkia and accidentally Giratina, who makes a portal to the [[Distortion World]] dragging Cyrus in. The player and [[Cynthia]] then follow. Dialga and Palkia will be available after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and obtaining the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Adamant Orb}} for Dialga and {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}} for Palkia.

If an [[Azure Flute]] is obtained from a special [[Event Pokémon|Nintendo event]], a staircase can be opened on the Spear Pillar to the [[Hall of Origin]] where {{p|Arceus}} waits.

===Iceberg Ruins===
{{main|Iceberg Ruins}}

In {{g|Platinum}}, the Iceberg Ruins appear deep within the mountain, on the way to {{rt|216}}. At first, a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|NeverMeltIce}} can be found in the ruins. If a special event {{p|Regigigas}} is in the party, the Ruins will house a {{p|Regice}}. A statue of Regice is present. By confronting the statue, stepping on the 7-dot pattern on the floor and walking up to the statue, {{p|Regice}} will attack.

[[File:Coronetanime.png|thumb|right|Part of Mt. Coronet]]
Despite, in the games, having to travel through Mt. Coronet to arrive at Hearthome City, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have not been shown journeying through the mountain as of yet. However, in [[DP058|''Nosing 'Round The Mountain!'']], they found [[Alan]] and Ash battled him at the Mt. Coronet area, because Alan wanted his {{p|Nosepass}} to evolve. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} meet a boy called Alan who has a {{p|Nosepass}}. Ash asks for a battle with him and he agrees. The two go and have a real battle, but the battle is then called off by Alan because he wants to battle near Mt. Coronet so his Nosepass can evolve. The mountain has however been seen in the background of some episodes set in areas near the mountain.

In [[DP110]] and [[DP111]], [[Team Galactic]] created a giant beam with the [[Spear Key]] from [[Iron Island]], in an attempt to locate the [[Spear Pillar]], above Mt. Coronet. Ash battles with [[Mars]] and destroys the machine allowing [[Team Galactic]] to scan only 60% of Mt. Coronet in their search for the Spear Pillar.

==Trivia==
*Mt. Coronet is the only location in Sinnoh where the elusive Pokémon {{p|Feebas}} can be caught. It only appears in four fishing spots in the basement, which change every day.
*Mt. Coronet emits a special magnetic field. As a result, {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} can only be evolved into {{p|Magnezone}} and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively, by leveling them up here.
**The two Pokémon obtainable by evolving in Mt. Coronet have three magnetic units, according to the [[Pokédex]] - Probopass has three mini-noses, and Magnezone is made up of three units. They also share both of their abilities.

===Name Origin===
Mt. Coronet is named after a {{wp|Coronet}}, a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal ring, meaning that Mt. Coronet could be the crown of the [[Sinnoh]]. {{wp|Coronet Peak}} is also a snowy mountain range in New Zealand.

==In other languages==
* '''German:''' ''Kraterberg''
* '''Spanish:''' ''Monte Corona''
* '''Italian:''' ''Monte Corona''

Cry

2009-05-24T15:35:27Z

NP Chilla: /* In the games */

A Pokémon's '''cry''' is the sound it makes. In most of the franchise's interpretations, this is only its name and various phrases derived from its name. However, there are several instances of [[talking Pokémon]].

==In the games==
When a Pokémon is released from its [[Poké Ball]], it will call out its cry, which consists of an electronically made "noise". It will also cry out when using certain moves, such as {{m|Growl}} and {{m|Hyper Voice}}. If the Pokémon faints or comes into [[Pokémon battle|battle]] when injured during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], the cry will sound, but it will be altered slightly. Pokémon with [[evolution]]ary relations to each other (such as {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}) will often have notably similar cries, though others may sound very different (such as {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Gallade}}).

In the wild, cries of the Pokémon found in the player's current location can occasionally be heard in the [[Generation III]] [[Hoenn]]- and [[Kanto]]-based games. Also, if the player's first Pokémon in his or her [[party]] has the [[ability]] {{a|Swarm}}, then these cries will be more common than before.

==In the anime==
Most Pokémon will only say their names, and will communicate using those syllables. For example, [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to use the three syllables in the word "Pikachu" in various combinations to refer to several characters, including {{Ash}} (''Pikapi''), [[Misty]] (''PiKachupi''), [[Brock]] (''PikaChu''), {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} (''Pipipi''), [[Team Rocket]] (''Pipikachu''), and "My name is Pikachu" (''Pika, Pikachu'').

Due to Pokémon being dubbed, sometimes, the original cry of a Pokémon is preserved in the anime, more often than not if the name is either similar or the same in Japanese and English. An example of this would be {{p|Charizard}}, which can, if listened to closely enough, be heard to cry out ''Lizardon'' instead. Likewise, all {{p|Onix}} can be heard to cry out ''Iwark''. {{p|Krabby}}'s cry, which sounds similar to "cookie", is sometimes used as an internet meme. Also, Wooper's cry sounds like "upah!" which is its Japanese name, ''Upah''.

Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Victreebel}}, {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Starmie}} and {{p|Staryu}}, cries are unrelated to their names at all. For example, Victreebel makes a screeching sound while Staryu has a cry that sounds like "hyah!!!".

== Trivia ==
* Three pairs of [[Generation I]] Pokémon share the same cry, despite not being related by evolution.
** {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}}
** {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Ditto}}

** {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Caterpie}}




* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only Pokémon to have its cry changed without changing forms. In {{game|Yellow}}, Pikachu's cry is actually provided by [[Ikue Ohtani]]. This is also the case if the {{pkmn2|starter}} Pikachu from Yellow is brought to battle in [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
*{{p|Shaymin}}'s Sky Forme and Land Forme have different cries, making it the first Pokémon to have different cries for different forms.
* From [[Generation II]] onwards, possibly due to improved technology, very few Pokémon were released with cries similar to another; those that do have similar cries are usually related by [[evolution]] as they were in Generation I. As the generations continue to pass, the calls of new Pokémon seem much cleaner and more refined, while the cries of Pokémon released in previous generations, in comparison, sound more like the electronic beeps they are. In particular, the cries of new Pokémon in [[Generation IV]] are mostly recognizable digitized sounds, such as birds chirping for {{p|Starly}} or a xylophone being played for {{p|Kricketot}}.
* Despite there being 151 Pokémon in Generation I, there are only 37 completely different cries in the game. However, different Pokémon's cries are either pitched up, down, faster, slower, or disable one of the sound channels, making it harder to recognize. For example, Charmander and Charmeleon's cries are the same, but an instruction in the game tells the pitch for Charmeleon to be lower than Charmander's. Despite this, some Pokémon share the exact same cry with no sound tweaking, such as Charizard and Rhyhorn. In Generation II, there were 30 new cries introduced, applying the same rules as before (along with some {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} using the Generation I cries).

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|Happiness]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Munchlax has a teal-colored body with a cream-colored spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream-colored feet with three clawed toes.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Munchlax's abilities are about the same as its evolved form, Snorlax, only weaker. However, some moves that are unique to Munchlax are {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Stockpile}}, {{m|Swallow}}, {{m|Last Resort}} and {{m|Metronome}}.

===Behavior===
Munchlax behaves quite opposite of its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}, as it is somewhat hyperactive. It is very similar with its eating patterns, however. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food. Munchlax tend to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. It can also eat very many servings of food at a time, and rarely gets full.

===Habitat===
Wild Munchlax can only be found in [[honey trees]] in the games, so it is apparent that they spend most of their time eating honey off of honey trees, although this is not officially confirmed.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Munchlax eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. It will eat nearly anything. It can rarely become full and will eat constantly, unlike Snorlax, who eats in between sleeping.

==In the anime==
[[Image:BerryBerryInteresting!.jpg|thumb|right|210px|[[May's Munchlax]]]]
A Munchlax first appeared in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it evolved into a Snorlax to stay afloat in the Block Bot flood, making it the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

{{an|May}} currently owns a {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, which she captured in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]''.

A Munchlax appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''.

A trainer named [[Kylie]] owns a Munchlax, which was seen in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
{{Special|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax.
===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]===
In [[DPA05|the fifth chapter]], a [[Collector]], [[Ruin Maniac]], {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}} and [[Galactic Grunt]] are all searching for a Munchlax, which is said to be very rare. Its {{a|Pickup}} ability takes Hareta's Pokédex but Munchlax returns it later.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:MunchlaxBrawl.jpg|right|thumb|Munchlax after eating something in Smashville]]
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Munchlax walks around and {{m|Swallow|eats}} items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy or a Poké Ball.

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}}, in terms of base stats, is the slowest non-glitched Pokémon.
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on September 10, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in two games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]; [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Dash]]. Munchlax was also obtainable, by hacking, in the first Mystery Dungeon.
* Though Munchlax appears to be dark blue in color, it belongs to the [[List of Pokémon by color#Black|black color group]].
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the only Pokémon who learn {{m|Stockpile}} by leveling up, but don't learn both {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}}. Munchlax doesn't learn {{m|Spit Up}}, while {{p|Qwilfish}} doesn't learn {{m|Swallow}}.
* It is the second Pokémon that has evolved in a movie, after {{p|Metapod}} in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]''.
* Munchlax has the highest [[base stat]] total of all baby Pokémon, as well as highest base HP.
* Munchlax is the heaviest [[baby Pokémon]].
*An error in the Pokémon Official Annual 2008 said that Munchlax was 0.6 ''kg'' in height.
===Origin===
Munchlax is most likely based off of a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its habits may also be based on the fact that bears eat a lot of food before hibernating, which Snorlax seems to do a lot more of.
====Name origin====
Munchlax's name is a combination of ''munch'', to chew on food, and ''lax''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of {{p|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, ''Kabigon'', and ''baby''. It may also be from 権兵衛 ''gonbee'', popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days.

==In other languages==

'''Carnivine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マスキッパ''' ''Muskippa'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Its appearance is based off of a {{wp|Venus Flytrap}}. Instead of having legs like other {{t|Grass}} Pokémon (like {{p|Bellsprout}}), it has vines attached to the end of its stem, giving them the appearance of tentacles. The leaves act as arms, and the inside of its mouth secretes a sweet-smelling saliva, which it uses to attract prey.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Strangely, Carnivine has the ability to {{a|Levitate|hover}} above the ground.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===

Carnivine inhabits forests, and marshes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:James Carnivine.jpg|210px|right|thumb|[[James]] and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}]]
[[James]] has a {{TP|James|Carnivine}} that first appeared in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', an old childhood friend of his which he finds at his old family mansion in [[Sinnoh]]. It has replaced his {{TP|James|Cacnea}} as his main battling Pokémon.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Special, while the main protagonists were in the [[Great Marsh]] catching Pokémon, a Carnivine began chasing {{p|Munchlax|Be}} and {{p|Chatot|Perahiko}}.

==In the TCG==

Nuzleaf first appeared in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]''. When {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, {{TP|May|Silcoon}}, {{TP|Brock|Lotad}} and {{AP|Corphish}} get separated from {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Brock]] and [[Max]] and got lost in a forest, these wily Pokémon caused trouble for them.

A colony of {{p|Seedot}} and Nuzleaf appeared in [[DP014|''Leave it to Brocko!'']]. One of the Nuzleaf got separated from its colony and Brock and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} had to bring it home before [[Team Rocket]] could steal it. This Nuzleaf also seemed to be fast friends with Brock's Sudowoodo, even when Sudowoodo was a Bonsly.

[[Yōko]] of the [[Eterna Gym]] owns a Nuzleaf. In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener]]'', when Gardenia was traveling in the [[Eterna Forest]], it brought her a note summoning her back to the Gym. It seen again in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' alongside its trainer.

A Nuzleaf made a cameo appearance in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Nuzleaf's {{stat|Defense}} stat is lower than that of its pre-evolved form, Seedot. Additionally, Defense is tied for Nuzleaf's lowest stat, where as Defense is Seedot's highest stat.
*Nuzleaf's [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] front and back sprites are very similar. The differences between front sprites are slight coloring adjustments, while the back sprite's pose changes arm position.
===Origin===
Nuzleaf is probably based on an {{wp|acorn}}, 天狗 ''{{wp|Tengu}}'', tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds, and possibly on {{wp|Pinnochio}}.
====Name origin====
Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of ''nuzzle'' or ''nose'' and ''leaf''. Its Japanese name is literally 巨の鼻 ''konohana'', big nose, but more formally seems to be a combination of 木の葉 ''konoha'', leaves, and 鼻 ''hana'', nose or 花 ''hana'', flower. Konohana may also be この花 ''kono hana'', this flower.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Blanas - a combination of ''Blad'' (brat, referring to its disruptive nature) and ''Nase'' (nose).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Pifeuil - From ''pif'' (a slang term for both nose and [[wp:Olfaction|olfaction]]), and ''feuille'' (leaf).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잎새코 ''Ipsaeko''

'''Seedot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タネボー''' ''Taneboh'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It evolves into {{p|Nuzleaf}} at level 14 and evolves again into {{p|Shiftry}} via {{evostone|Leaf Stone.}}

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Seedot is a small brown creature that greatly resembles an acorn, so much so that it can easily startle Pokémon looking for food on the forest floor. It can stick onto trees with the top of its cap and it has two feet for moving about.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===

Its size makes it capable of very little, however it is capable to learn {{m|Explosion}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Seedot enjoy consuming water and nutrients from trees.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SeedotAnime.jpg|thumb|210px|Seedot in the anime]]
Seedot first appeared in ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing]]''. A trio of these Acorn Pokémon were in a sad mood and [[Professor Birch]] used his Pokémon knowledge to cheer them up.

In ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'', one of the Pokémon that {{an|Matt}} was looking after was a Seedot. {{an|May}} played with it in the {{g|Center}}.

A colony of Seedot and {{p|Nuzleaf}} appeared in ''[[DP014|Leave it to Brocko!]]''.

Another one appeared in [[DP123]].

==In the TCG==

'''Wynaut''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソーナノ''' ''Sohnano'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Wobbuffet}} starting at [[level]] 15.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wynaut is a small, cyan-colored Pokémon with an balloon-shaped body. Wynaut has a black tail with an eye-spot on it that looks similar to the design of {{p|Unown}}. It has a pair of flipper-like appendages on the sides of its head. There is a round, bulbous growth on Wynaut's forehead.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Wynaut's main means of self-defense is to repel attacks at its foes. However, Wynaut doesn't excel at this as much as its evolved form, {{p|Wobbuffet}}.

===Behavior===
Wynaut always has a smile on its face. As such, it will use its tail to communicate its feelings. A Wynaut that's slapping the ground with its tail means that it's upset. During moonlit nights, Wynaut gather into groups and squeeze against each other. This activity is used for strengthening up the Wynauts' endurance.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]
Wynaut is only found on [[Mirage Island]], where it is the sole species. It is unknown why Wynaut only appear there. Mirage Island is also the only place the [[Liechi Berry]] is found naturally. This leads to the theory that they need to feed on the Liechi Berry to survive in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Wynaut anime.jpg|thumb|right|A group of Wynaut]]
Wynaut first appeared in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''. This Bright Pokémon helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and co. help the [[Pichu Brothers]] get to the next train to [[Big Town]].

{{an|Wynaut}} also appeared during the [[Blackthorn City]] arc (''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'' - ''[[EP255|Why? Wynaut!]]''), but [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Ash's Noctowl]] were the only ones to see it.

In ''[[AG113|Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut?]]'', a plan of [[Team Rocket]]'s backfired and sent everyone to [[Mirage Island]]. The only inhabitants of this island were none other than Wynaut, though it wasn't seen by any of the human characters other than {{an|May}} and [[Drew]].

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 1|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: {{p|Wobbuffet}} and Wynaut send the player on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Wynaut also makes an appearance discussing the identity of the strongest Pokémon with {{p|Lombre}} and {{p|Bellsprout}} in the cutscene that unlocks the [[Western Cave]].

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], Wynaut is the only baby Pokémon found in the wild in the games, on [[Mirage Island]]. Oddly, in [[Generation IV]], Wynaut is the only baby Pokémon that ''can't'' be found in the wild.
* Wynaut and {{p|Azurill}} are the first two Pokémon which are only breedable from their evolved forms if the parent is holding a certain [[incense]].
** They are also, coincidentally, the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} related to Pokémon of a previous generation.
* Wynaut is the only baby Pokémon considered "Uber" in competitive standards.
*Wynaut evolves the earliest of any non-{{type|Bug}} Pokémon that evolves by level alone.

===Origin===

====Name origin====
Wynaut's name is pronounced identically to the phrase "why not?" Its Japanese name is '''almost''' homophonous with the phrase そうなの ''sō na no'', which means "really?", with only a difference in tone.

Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its evolution, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ソーナンス ''Sonans'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "really?" followed by "that's the way it is," and so on, as seen in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Isso - A possible corruption of ''Is so'' or the German "Ist es so?" ("Is that so?").
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Okeoke - A repetition of ''Okay''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마자 ''Maja''{{tt|*|Used in newer airings and official Korean Pokémon Website}} / 그래용 ''Geuraeyong''{{tt|*|Initial name used in 2002 airings of Johto Series}}

'''Charmeleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザード''' ''Lizardo'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

Charmeleon comes with the [[ability]] {{A|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmeleon evolves from {{p|Charmander}} starting at Level 16, and evolves into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmeleon is a bipedal, reptilian creature similar to Charmander. It has crimson scales that are much darker than that of the bright red Charmander. Once again it has a tail with the tip burning with fire, a trait seen in many {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, especially the Charmander evolutionary line. At this point in time its skull has developed a horn-like protrusion to the rear. Its front and back claws are far sharper and longer than Charmander.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Charmeleon can of course breathe fire. This fire is much hotter than Charmander's. This is a result of a larger flame burning at the tip of its tail than that of Charmander's.

It possesses incredibly large claws which it famously utilizes in its powerful {{m|Slash}} attack.

===Behavior===
Charmeleon tend to be stubborn, tempered and simply hot-headed. Due to their incredible power at such low level they can easily feel they are better than their trainers and will even disregard attack commands, although when tame they are a formidable opponent and a loyal partner. Also when wild Charmeleon are ready to evolve common signs are they began to travel in different areas battling random opponents, also the flame on their tails begin to flash larger occasionally.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmeleon are rare in the wild, but thrive in harsh environments such as craggy mountains and active volcanoes, other environments where Charmeleon dwell is commonly abandoned mines and heated valleys in large numbers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Charmeleon when in the wild will hunt solitary much unlike Charmander who hunt in packs. Their diet consists that of the average omnivorous Pokémon diet.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Zippo.jpg|thumb|left|Ritchie's Charmeleon, Zippo.]]
{{Ash}}'s {{p|Charmander}} evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It quickly grew unruly and disobedient and evolved into {{AP|Charizard}} soon after, in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''.

In ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]'', [[Mateo]] used a Charmeleon to make glass and battle the titular Crystal {{p|Onix}}.

The young [[Professor Oak|Sammy Oak]] used a Charmeleon in ''[[Pokémon 4Ever]]'' to battle [[Vicious]].

[[Zippo]], [[Ritchie]]'s Charmander, evolved into a Charmeleon off-screen and was first seen in its evolved form in ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]''.

A Charmeleon also appeared under the ownership of a trainer named {{ho|Jimmy}} in ''[[AG092|Judgement Day]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Charmeleon that evolved from the Charmander he received from [[Professor Oak]]. It later evolves again into Charizard.

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Charmeleon debuts in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', part of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, battling in the [[Pewter Gym]] as one of {{Special|Green}}'s Pokémon, it evolved from Charmander sometime between ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and this round. It has since evolved into Charizard.

'''Caterpie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キャタピー ''' ''Caterpie'') is a {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon.

Caterpie comes with the [[ability]] {{a|Shield Dust}}.

Caterpie evolves via level, into {{p|Metapod}} starting at Level 7, then into {{p|Butterfree}} starting at Level 10.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Caterpie resembles a green caterpillar with yellow ring-shaped markings down its body. Its most notable characteristic is the bright orange antennae on its head. These and the large eye-shaped markings help to startle predators. It shares many characteristics with other larval Pokémon such as {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Weedle}}, suggesting that their evolutionary lines are closely related.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
The antennae on its head will omit a terrible stench from it if the Caterpie is frightened or if the antennae are touched. This serves as an effective protective mechanism against most predators. Its feet are tipped with suction cups, permitting this Pokémon to scale most surfaces with minimal effort. It can also spit a string from its mouth in order to entangle foes.

===Behavior===
Caterpie grow very quickly, and need to eat voraciously in order to meet their energy requirements. They have various adaptations which permit them to safely devour plant material, including an antennae that releases a horrible smell. It will shed its skin many times before finally cocooning itself in thick silk. While some {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are disgusted by the idea of {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, they are ideal targets for new Trainers as they are fairly weak in the wild and evolve into their final forms at a low level.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Caterpie can often be found in wooded areas, such as [[Viridian Forest]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Caterpie primarily feed on vegetation, such as tree leaves. According to [[Pokémon Special]], its favorite food is the Vermilion flower.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash's Caterpie.jpg|thumb|right|Ash's Caterpie]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] had a Caterpie he caught in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon!]]'' that evolved into {{p|Metapod}} in the same episode and then {{AP|Butterfree}} [[EP004|the following episode]].

A Caterpie that belonged to a young trainer named [[Zander]] ate some of [[Dr. Gordon]]'s enhanced Rare Candies and turned [[Giant Pokémon|giant]]. Zander's Caterpie eventually evolved into a {{wp|Mothra|Mothra-sized}} {{p|Butterfree}}.

== In the manga ==
In [[Pokémon Get da ze!]], [[Shuu]] has a Caterpie that he uses in various creative ways, mostly involving strange uses of its {{m|String Shot}}.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]'', a Caterpie was attacked by an {{p|Ariados}}. [[Ginji]] had to save the Caterpie from harm.

===Pokémon Special===
Caterpie's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. It also makes a cameo in ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]''.

{{Special|Yellow}} had a Caterpie named Kitty, which she did not want to [[evolution|evolve]]. However, in the battle against [[Lance]], she did not have her [[Pokédex]], which she needed to stop her Pokémon from evolving, and so Caterpie evolved into {{p|Metapod}} and then into {{p|Butterfree}} right afterwards.

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

== Game data ==
=== NPC appearances ===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Caterpie is rescued in the first mission of the game. It is too young to be of any help to the rescue team but remains a strong fan throughout the game, even in its darkest hour.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[ability]] {{a|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charizard evolves from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 36.

Charizard is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the [[Pokémon Ranger]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] boxarts.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Because of the wings it has grown Charizard can {{M|fly}} and can use many other {{Type2|Flying}} abilities. As its pre-evolutions could, it can use {{type2|Fire}} moves.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires. Charizard flies around in the sky searching for strong opponents. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG136 022.jpeg|frame|left|Ash's Charizard using {{m|DragonBreath}}.]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets.

==In the TFG==
One Charizard figure has been released.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Charizard makes an appearance as a Pokémon released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, Charizard will utilize {{m|Flamethrower}} alternating between the left and right. In Melee, the flames have more of a downward angle.

Charizard is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}} in the third game in the series, Brawl. It can use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}. It also uses {{m|Fly}} and has the ability to glide. Charizard is a Heavyweight and attacks with various physical attacks. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

====Melee trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

==Trivia==
* Even though Charizard is supposed to evolve from {{p|Charmeleon}} through leveling up, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Charmeleon evolves by falling into a pit of lava. This may be due to the fact that Snap is more anime-based.
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]], but it can't in Red and Blue. This was changed starting with Yellow, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games, by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.
* Charizard is the first {{t|Flying}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* To date, Charizard is the only non-legendary {{2t|Fire|Flying}}-type Pokémon. The other known two are {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, legendary Pokémon.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard is of a few Pokémon whose shiny form is of a vastly different palette from its previous forms. In this case, Charmander's and Charmeleon's shiny form are golden while Charizard's shiny form is black.
===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, which had many forms in the legends that described it. It also closely resembles the fabled {{wp|Jersey Devil}} from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Although it is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, it can learn {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

====Name origin====
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names.

'''Farfetch'd''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カモネギ''' ''Kamonegi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Farfetch'd resemble ducks. They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bears black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Its wings, are a bit more versatile than most birds' as their feathers can be used as "fingers", allowing it to carry a leek, or spring onion.

===Behavior===
Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings and sometimes choose to hold it in their beaks instead. Farfetch'd cannot live without its stick for unknown reasons, and will defend their stick with their life. The stick is also known to be used as nesting material and as a weapon. In case of an emergency situation where the Farfetch'd is starving, it will eat its own stick and hurry off to find a new one.

They are known to be picky in the kinds of sticks they accept. Farfetch'd have been known to fight each other over one 'good' stalk.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

Farfetch'd are found in grasslands, but it always has to be near water. Farfetch'd are also very good swimmers and are often found swimming in ponds.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SoNearYetSoFarfetch'd.gif|right|thumb|A Farfetch'd in the anime]]
Farfetch'd made its first appearance in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' under the ownership of a trainer who steals Pokémon from others.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off, Day Off]]'', Farfetch'd live on a deserted island which is the home of many different fruit trees.

It was also showcased in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'' where [[Team Rocket]] plans to eat it, an aspect of [[Pokémon world]] rarely touched on in the anime.

In ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Farfetch'd appear when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]'', a Farfetch'd was used by [[Brock]]'s battle partner [[Holly]] against {{Ash}} and [[Paul]].

==In the manga==
Farfetch'd is the Pokémon owned by an [[Azalea Town|Azalean]] boy as seen in {{PSV|8}} of [[Pokémon Special]]. Both boy and Farfetch'd fell victim to the onslaught of [[Pryce]]'s Pokémon in the depths of [[Ilex Forest]].

[[Bill]] is later seen in {{PSV|10}} riding a Farfetch'd as a mode of transport to pass {{Special|Crystal}} the Portable Pokémon Transporter.

==Trivia==
*In numerical order, Farfetch'd is the first Pokémon in the [[National Dex]] that does not have an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]], which it always has been. It is also one of the few remaining {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, excluding legendaries, that does not evolve into or from something, along with {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

===Origin===
Obviously, Farfetch'd is a duck that carries a leek.

====Name origin====
Farfetch'd's name comes from the word ''farfetched'', which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of {{wp|fetch}}, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 ''kamo'', {{wp|wild duck}}, and 葱 ''negi'', {{wp|spring onion}}. Additionally, 鴨葱 ''kamonegi'' is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, a duck comes bearing spring onions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Porenta - a combination of ''Porree'' and ''Ente'', meaning "duck".
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Canarticho - ''Canard'' means duck, ''artichau'' means artichoke, in reference to the vegetable in its hand.

'''Bonsly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウソハチ''' ''Usohachi'') is a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Bonsly is a brown Pokémon with a round body. Bonsly has a rim around the middle of its body and has a club (♣) shape on top of its head that's similar to Sudowoodo's arms. Bonsly has 3 yellow spots on its face. Bonsly's legs are short and have toe-less feet. Bonsly also has a hole on its rear similar to the draining hole that a flowerpot has.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Bonsly can learn most of the same moves that Sudowoodo is capable of, except that Bonsly can't use {{m|Hammer Arm}} or {{m|Wood Hammer}}. Bonsly can also learn {{m|Fake Tears}} while Sudowoodo can't.

===Behavior===
Much like its evolved form, Bonsly are good mimics and are often mistaken for real bonsai trees. It can remain in the same spot for a long time. It also has a habit of crying. This isn't always because it is sad or needing attention, but rather it is due to excess moisture in its body.

===Habitat===
They prefer dry areas, but it isn't uncommon to see one in a garden.
===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Bonsly-anime.jpg|thumb|Bonsly in the anime]]
A Bonsly follows {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} on their mission to rescue {{p|Pikachu}} in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', [[Brock]] captures a baby {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} and takes care of it. It evolves into {{p|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP014|Leave it To Brocko!]]''

In ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day]]'', a Bonsly and {{p|Mime Jr.}} that were stars of a television show went missing and were discovered to be sick when they were found, so Brock's Bonsly and [[James's Mime Jr.]] had to fill in for them.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Bonsly Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Bonsly in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Bonsly appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Once released, characters can pick it up and throw it at other players. Characters holding it can only move very slowly and it can't be thrown very far, but a direct hit is a guaranteed knockout.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]: A [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] at the [[ONBS Station]] has lost their Bonsly. It appears at the [[S.S. Libra]] but runs away on being approached. Returning Bonsly to its trainer gains the reward of the Bonsly [[Battle Bingo|Bingo Sheet]]. This begins with a Bonsly with {{m|Rock Slide}} and allowed players to have a taste of battling with it long before the release of Diamond and Pearl.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: On completion of all the [[Elemental types|type]]-based mazes at the Dojo, {{p|Makuhita}} will award a statue of Bonsly that is displayed outside the rescue base.

===Pokédex entries===

==Trivia==
*Bonsly's US name was revealed on June 16, 2005.
*Bonsly is the only Pokémon yet that is usable in-game by a player during the generation before its release, as it was on the [[Battle Bingo]] Bonsly card.
*The pronunciation of Bonsly was first revealed to be '''''bonz''-lee''', however this was found untrue. Bonsly's real pronunciation is '''''bon''-sly'''.
*Bonsly is one of the few pre-evolution Pokémon with a wide moveset, learning its last move on level 46. Other pre-evolutions are lucky to learn any moves past level 20.
*Bonsly is as strong as some non-baby unevolved Pokémon, and because of this some players do not evolve their Bonsly.
*Like Sudowoodo, Bonsly's [[Alternate coloration|shiny]] form is colored like a fruit tree.
*Bonsly can learn {{m|Brick Break}} despite not having arms. It shares this trait with {{p|Pupitar}}.

===Origin===
It may be based on {{wp|petrified wood}}, plants which have become fossilized over time, placed into a flowerpot. Similarly, it may simply be modeled on the bonsai tree itself.

====Name origin====
Bonsly's name is a combination of ''bonsai'', miniature trees, and ''sly'' or ''lie''.

Its Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘っぱち ''usoppachi'', downright lie. It could also be a combination of 嘘 ''uso'', false, and 鉢 ''hachi'', flowerpot, which might be more likely since it can use {{M|Fake Tears}}.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: ''Mobai'' - a combination of ''mogeln'', meaning "to cheat" and ''Bonsai''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: ''Manzai'' - Derived from "mini" and "bonzaï".
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬지지 ''Kkojiji''

'''Sudowoodo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウソッキー''' ''Usokkie'') is a {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon. It is found in the [[Generation II]] games blocking the paths between [[Violet City]], [[Goldenrod City]], and [[Ecruteak City]] until the player sprays water on it from a [[Squirtbottle]]. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] Sudowoodo can be found as a snag from Cipher Admin [[Miror B.]] in [[Miror B.'s Hideout]]. It is also available in [[Pokémon Emerald]].

Sudowoodo comes with one of two [[abilities]]: {{A|Sturdy}}, which prevents {{Cat|One-hit knockout moves|One-Hit KO attacks}} from having any effect; or {{A|Rock Head}}, which eliminates the recoil from certain attacks such as {{m|Double-Edge}}.

Sudowoodo evolves from {{p|Bonsly}} in [[Generation IV]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sudowoodo has a brown, log-shaped body with some yellow spots on it. It has short legs with toe-less feet. Sudowoodo has club (♣) shaped hands that remain green year-round, thanks to the moss that it always has in its hands. Its face that's similar to {{p|Ditto}}'s. Sudowoodo has a forked "branch" on top of its head.
====Gender differences====
A female has shorter "branches" on the top of its head.

====Special abilities====
Sudowoodo is most known for {{M|Mimic}}king its opponents' attacks. Sudowoodo is protected from receiving recoil damage when using attacks like {{m|Wood Hammer}} and {{m|Double-Edge}}. As a Rock-type Pokémon, Sudowoodo is capable of a wide variety of {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Earthquake}}. It can also learn {{t|Fighting}}-type attacks, such as {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Brick Break}}. Sudowoodo can also learn {{m|Calm Mind}}, which is strange due to the fact that {{m|Hidden Power}} is the only [[Special move]] that Sudowoodo can use (and very poorly on that note). Even stranger is the fact that Sudowoodo lacks the ability to use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}, despite being a fully evolved Pokémon.

====Behavior====
Sudowoodo pretends to be a plant, but it is afraid of water, and its composition is closer to a rock than to a plant.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Sudowoodo can found living in forests. But finding one can sometimes be a little tricky, since Sudowoodo have the aforementioned habit of pretending to be a tree in order to blend in with their surroundings.

However, during winters, Sudowoodo's camouflage fails. The moss on its hands remain green, even in winter, thus it is easily spotted from true trees. This may cause massive migrations of sudowoodo to more southern areas, where the winter may not affect its camouflage.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Takeshitousokkie.jpg|left|thumb|[[Brock]] and his Sudowoodo]][[Image:Gold Sudowoodo.jpg|thumb|right|[[Keenan|Keenan's]] ''gold'' Sudowoodo]]
Sudowoodo first appeared in ''[[EP162|Type Casting]]''. Two Pokémon researchers were arguing whether Sudowoodo was a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type2|Rock}}.

A Sudowoodo was pretending to be part of a tree in ''[[Camp Pikachu]]''.

A [[alternate color|Golden]] Sudowoodo appeared in ''[[AG172|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]''. A boy named [[Keenan]] experimented on his Sudowoodo to make it strong against {{t|Water}} and it turned golden. The Sudowoodo was upset with the change, and hated Keenan for what he did to it. Keenan managed to turn his Sudowoodo back to normal at the end of the episode.

Brock's Bonsly evolved into {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
In {{PSV|9}}, a Sudowoodo disguises itself as a tree in the middle of {{rt|37}}, hiding from a {{p|Rhydon}}. {{Special|Gold}} convinced Sudowoodo not to run away from its problems, and Sudowoodo went on to defeat Rhydon in hand-to-hand combat. It soon after joined Gold's team.

A Sudowoodo is captured by {{Special|Emerald}} at the [[Battle Frontier]]. It appears to be a female Sudowoodo, due to its motherly nature.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Sudowoodo is a Poké Float. After {{p|Wooper}} first appears, it will move down the right of the screen while Sudowoodo is on the left. Unlike most of the Poké Floats, players are not required to ever go on Sudowoodo. A trophy of Sudowoodo can be obtained after playing on the Poké Floats stage.

====Trophy information====
An imitation [[Pokémon]] with an aversion to battle, Sudowoodo always poses as a tree in order to avoid being attacked. Despite their arboreal appearance, these Pokémon are actually Rock-types, and therefore highly vulnerable to water. When it begins to rain, they vanish. Sudowoodo can be found blocking {{rt|36}} in [[Johto]].

* Sudowoodo is the only non-Grass Pokémon to learn {{m|Wood Hammer}} by leveling up.
* In [[Generation II]], only one Sudowoodo appears when sprayed with water from a [[List of key items in Generation II#Squirtbottle|Squirtbottle]] and similarly in [[Generation III]] with the [[List of key items in Generation III#Wailmer Pail|Wailmer Pail]] however, in [[Generation IV]] the [[Player character|player]] can get multiple Sudowoodo by evolving {{p|Bonsly}} or catching it in grass.

===Origin===
It may be based on {{wp|petrified wood}}, plants which have become fossilized over time.

Sudowoodo's [[alternate coloration|shiny]] counterpart resembles a fruit tree.
====Name origin====
Sudowoodo's name may be a combination of ''pseudo'', false, and ''wood''. Its Japanese name could be a misspelling of 嘘つき ''usotsuki'', fibber. It could also be a combination of 嘘 ''uso'', false, and 木 ''ki'', wood or tree. Its German name, Mogelbaum, comes from ''{{tt|mogeln|to cheat}}'' and ''{{tt|Baum|tree}}''. Its French name, Simularbre, comes from ''{{tt|simuler|to simulate}}'' and ''{{tt|arbre|tree}}''.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mogelbaum - a combination of ''mogeln'', meaning "to cheat" and ''Baum'', meaning "tree".

'''Houndour''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デルビル''' ''Delvil'') is a dual-typed {{2t|Dark|Fire}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Houndour is a dog-like Pokémon with short, black fur. It has a red underbelly and snout. Houndour has short, pointed ears and tail. There are white bands on Houndour's ankles and back. Houndour appears to have a skull on its forehead and ribs on its back. Houndour might be distantly related to {{P|Growlithe}} since both of them canine Pokémon that are {{type2|Fire}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Houndour is capable of various {{t|Dark}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (including the rarely known {{m|Beat Up}} attack). Houndour can also use a couple of {{type2|Poison}} damaging moves and {{m|Thunder Fang}}.

Houndour hunting packs show off unparalleled teamwork.

===Behavior===
Houndour normally travel in packs. They are very protective of one another and will not abandon any of its pack if they are hurt.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Houndour are predatory Pokémon that mainly eat small mammals.

==In the anime==
[[Image:HouroftheHoundour.jpg|thumb|right|Houndour waits at a Pokémon Center with Ash & friends]]
Houndour first appeared in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''. A pack of these Dark Pokémon were stealing food to aid their badly wounded leader. {{Ash}} helped the ailing Houndour to the [[Pokémon Center]].

A Houndour also appeared in ''[[Pikachu and Pichu]]''. This particular Houndour can normally be seen chasing the [[Pichu Brothers]].

[[Cassidy]]'s Houndour debuted in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]''.

A Houndour chased the Pichu Brothers twice in ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. It's unknown if this Houndour is the same in ''Pikachu and Pichu'' but it seems improbable since that Houndour made friends with the Pichu Brothers.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Gold}} is attacked by and defeated by 4 [[Pokémon]], including a Houndour, when he enters the [[Ilex Forest]], and is then warned to stay out by the [[Mask of Ice]].

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large, light green, insect-like dragon Pokémon. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three green rhombus shapes at the end. Flygon has a pair of green rhombus-shaped wings, toeless hind legs and three-clawed hands. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antenna.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to kick up {{M|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{M|Earthquake}} or {{M|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert, these adaptations have given it the nickname "the elemental spirit of the desert". When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Drew's_Flygon.jpg|thumb|right|[[Drew's Flygon]]]]
Flygon first appears in a flashback of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''.

Another Flygon was in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It helped save {{an|Jirachi}} from [[Butler]].

[[Drew's Flygon]] made its debut in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|rubydex=Flygon is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a {{M|sandstorm}} while flying.
|sapphiredex=Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a {{M|sandstorm}}, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit.
|emeralddex=The flapping of its wings sounds like singing. To prevent detection by enemies, it hides itself by flapping up a cloud of desert sand.
|firereddex=It hides itself by kicking up desert sand with its wings. Red covers shield its eyes from sand.
|leafgreendex=It hides itself by kicking up desert sand with its wings. Red covers shield its eyes from sand.

==Trivia==
*Flygon, and its pre-evolution, {{p|Vibrava}}, are the only non-legendary Pokémon that are not {{type2|Flying}} and can learn {{m|Fly}}, with the exception of {{p|Smeargle}}.
*Flygon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
*Flygon is one of two BL Dragon-types, the other being {{p|Kingdra}}.
*In [[Generation III]], Flygon and {{p|Vibrava}} were the only Pokémon with their type combination. However, as of [[Generation IV]], new [[Pseudo-legendary]] {{p|Garchomp}} and [[Gible (Pokémon)|its evolution chain]] share the typing.
===Origin===
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}, also called "sand dragon".
====Name origin====
Flygon's name is a combination of ''{{wp|fly}}'' and ''dragon'' or a rearrangement of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.
