'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is the sole [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}} for {{ga|Red}}; it is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from the [[Pokémon anime]], which Yellow Version is loosely based on. As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it is the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon in the main series games.

==In the games==
===In Generation I===
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|left|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|right|Pikachu and Red traveling together]]
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The player receives Pikachu after they go into Professor Oak's laboratory and attempt to take the starter {{p|Eevee}}, which {{ga|Blue}} will take instead.

Pikachu replaces all of the other usual starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}; although these three Pokémon can be received during events later in the game, which reflects how [[Ash Ketchum]] eventually obtained all three of Kanto's starters in the anime. This Pikachu is also the only Pikachu found in Yellow; other Pikachu must be [[trade]]d in from compatible games.

After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu will choose to stay out of its [[Poké Ball]] and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] around unless it faints, is [[Pokémon Storage System|put into storage]], or is traded. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of its current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. This makes Pokémon Yellow the first game to show Pokémon friendship, which would become more prominent in [[Generation II]]. Pikachu's friendship does not have many uses in the game, however it is vital if the player wishes to receive a Bulbasaur in [[Cerulean City]]. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other events, such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Pikachu has several in-game events where it can show an emotion other than how happy it is. They include:
*If talked to right after losing to Blue, it will turn its back to the player.
*If talked to right after winning against Blue, it will appear uninterested in the player.
*If Pikachu is affected by a [[status condition]], it will appear weak or in pain. If it is asleep, it will appear asleep when talked to.
**Playing the [[Poké Flute]] outside of battle will wake Pikachu up if it is asleep.
*If Pikachu has just learned Thunder or Thunderbolt, it may shock the player if talked to.
*In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|Sing}} a lullaby if talked to. After listening to the Jigglypuff, Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleeping if talked to, instead of healing the party. Until the player awakens Pikachu, it can't be deposited into the PC.
*When the player goes to [[Bill]]'s house and discovers that he has turned into a Pokémon, Pikachu will approach him and look confused. When he reappears in human form, Pikachu will appear to be shocked.
*If the player walks into the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]], Pikachu will approach a {{p|Clefairy}} and fall in love with it.
*If the player uses a fishing rod then checks Pikachu, it will appear to have a bait bucket over its head.
*If taken inside [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will appear to be scared.
*If talked to right after catching a Pokémon, it will make a V with its fingers to represent victory.
*If talked to after losing a battle, Pikachu will appear disappointed in and unsure of its Trainer.
*If talked to after trying to give it a Thunderstone, Pikachu will shake its head in refusal.

Notably, like Ash's Pikachu [[EP014|did]], this Pikachu will refuse a {{evostone|Thunder Stone|Thunderstone}} given to it in Yellow, and not evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is traded out of Yellow to do so. Raichu must be otherwise obtained by either trading in an already evolved one or trading in a Pikachu from another game.

When storing Pikachu into Bill's computer, Pikachu complains and becomes less friendly toward the player. If the player attempts to release Pikachu, they will be unable to and Pikachu will complain.

When Pikachu is stored in a [[PC]] and taken out, It will complain and become less friendly towards Red before turning it's back on the player.

Pikachu is also able to learn {{m|Surf}} if transferred into {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and will be able to participate in the [[Pikachu's Beach|Surf Minigame]] if it knows the move. In battle, its animations are different from other Pikachu, and its voice is based on [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s as opposed to using Pikachu's normal cry.

If the starter Pikachu from Yellow [[Time Capsule|is traded to]] Generation II, it will be holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}.

====Starting moveset====
{{Pokémon/1
|game=Yellow
|ndex=025
|pokemon=Pikachu
|type1=Electric
|level=5
|move1=ThunderShock|move1type=Electric
|move2=Growl|move2type=Normal}}

===In Generation II===
Red can be battled in [[Mt. Silver]], with a level 81 Pikachu on his team. At the time, his Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon that could be battled in the main series. This Pikachu is likely to have been based on Red's Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow.
{{Pokémon/2
|game=Crystal
|ndex=025
|pokemon=Pikachu
|gender=male
|level=81
|type1=Electric
|move1=Charm|move1type=Normal
|move2=Quick Attack|move2type=Normal
|move3=Thunderbolt|move3type=Electric
|move4=Thunder|move4type=Electric}}

When brought into [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the player's Pikachu from Yellow still has its lack of a normal Pikachu's cry.

===In Generation IV===
Red's challenge at Mt. Silver returns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He still uses Pikachu in these games; it is now level 88. This again makes it the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series, a title it lost to {{ga|Barry}}'s starter Pokémon on the release of {{game|Platinum}} only a year before.

In the final battle, it is holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, while it knows the four moves used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] most often prior to the release of the games.

|move3=Quick Attack|move3type=Normal|move3cat=Physical
|move4=Thunderbolt|move4type=Electric|move4cat=Special}}

===In Generation V===
Red can be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] of [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. He uses his Pikachu as his signature Pokémon once again in the battle, though it varies in gender.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Pika}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a character named {{adv|Red}} owns a Pikachu named [[Pika]]. While Pika is not technically Red's actual [[starter Pokémon]], he is still one of Red's closest companions.

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===
Red's Pikachu appears at the end of ''[[JBA6|The True Road to Becoming the Strongest!!]]'', though it debuted as a cameo in the end of [[JBA5|the previous chapter]].
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, there is a park called [[Amity Square]] where players may walk around with a Pokémon following them. While only certain kinds of Pokémon may follow the player, Pikachu is one of the few and may reference Red's Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}}.
*Red's Pikachu likely inspired, at least partly, the concept of any Pokémon [[walking Pokémon|following the player outside its Poké Ball]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
*When battling against Red, Pikachu appears to come from inside his Poké Ball, contradicting his dislike of doing so in Pokémon Yellow.
*Although Pikachu initially resides inside of its Poké Ball until the player has battled with the rival for the first time in Pokémon Yellow, it still enters the first battle from outside of the Ball.
*Red's Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon that will not evolve unless it is sent to another game.

'''Red's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''レッドのピカチュウ''' ''Red's Pikachu'') is the sole [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}} for {{ga|Red}}; it is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]] from the [[Pokémon anime]], which Yellow Version is loosely based on. As of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it is the highest-leveled Trainer-owned Pokémon in the main series games.

==In the games==
===In Generation I===
[[File:Red Pikachu Yellow debut.png|thumb|left|Pikachu first appearing as a [[wild Pokémon]]]]
[[File:Pokémon Yellow shop worker.png|frame|right|Pikachu and Red traveling together]]
Pikachu first appears along the outskirts of {{rt|1|Kanto}}, where [[Professor Oak]] will encounter and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. The player receives Pikachu after they go into Professor Oak's laboratory and attempt to take the starter {{p|Eevee}}, which {{ga|Blue}} will take instead.

Pikachu replaces all of the other usual starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}; although these three Pokémon can be received during events later in the game, which reflects how [[Ash Ketchum]] eventually obtained all three of Kanto's starters in the anime. This Pikachu is also the only Pikachu found in Yellow; other Pikachu must be [[trade]]d in from compatible games.

After battling against Blue for the first time, the Pikachu will choose to stay out of its [[Poké Ball]] and [[walking Pokémon|follow the player]] around unless it faints, is [[Pokémon Storage System|put into storage]], or is traded. If the player decides to speak to Pikachu, a small image of its current emotion will pop up. The image also shows how much the Pikachu [[friendship|likes]] the player. This makes Pokémon Yellow the first game to show Pokémon friendship, which would become more prominent in [[Generation II]]. Pikachu's friendship does not have many uses in the game, however it is vital if the player wishes to receive a Bulbasaur in [[Cerulean City]]. Besides showing Pikachu's emotions and friendship, the image can also show several other events, such as when Pikachu learns {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Pikachu has several in-game events where it can show an emotion other than how happy it is. They include:
*If talked to right after losing to Blue, it will turn its back to the player.
*If talked to right after winning against Blue, it will appear uninterested in the player.
*If Pikachu is affected by a [[status condition]], it will appear weak or in pain. If it is asleep, it will appear asleep when talked to.
**Playing the [[Poké Flute]] outside of battle will wake Pikachu up if it is asleep.
*If Pikachu has just learned Thunder or Thunderbolt, it may shock the player if talked to.
*In [[Pewter City]]'s Pokémon Center, there is a {{p|Jigglypuff}} that will {{m|Sing}} a lullaby if talked to. After listening to the Jigglypuff, Pikachu will fall asleep and not move unless awakened by the player. The center's nurse will also comment on Pikachu's sleeping if talked to, instead of healing the party. Until the player awakens Pikachu, it can't be deposited into the PC.
*When the player goes to [[Bill]]'s house and discovers that he has turned into a Pokémon, Pikachu will approach him and look confused. When he reappears in human form, Pikachu will appear to be shocked.
*If the player walks into the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]], Pikachu will approach a {{p|Clefairy}} and fall in love with it.
*If the player uses a fishing rod then checks Pikachu, it will appear to have a bait bucket over its head.
*If taken inside [[Pokémon Tower]], Pikachu will appear to be scared.
*If talked to right after catching a Pokémon, it will make a V with its fingers to represent victory.
*If talked to after losing a battle, Pikachu will appear disappointed in and unsure of its Trainer.
*If talked to after trying to give it a Thunderstone, Pikachu will shake its head in refusal.

Notably, like Ash's Pikachu [[EP014|did]], this Pikachu will refuse a {{evostone|Thunder Stone|Thunderstone}} given to it in Yellow, and not evolve into {{p|Raichu}} unless it is traded out of Yellow to do so. Raichu must be otherwise obtained by either trading in an already evolved one or trading in a Pikachu from another game.

When storing Pikachu into Bill's computer, Pikachu complains and becomes less friendly toward the player. If the player attempts to release Pikachu, they will be unable to and Pikachu will complain.
When Pikachu is stored in a [[PC]] and taken out, It will complain and become less friendly towards Red.

Pikachu is also able to learn {{m|Surf}} if transferred into {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, and will be able to participate in the [[Pikachu's Beach|Surf Minigame]] if it knows the move. In battle, its animations are different from other Pikachu, and its voice is based on [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s as opposed to using Pikachu's normal cry.

If the starter Pikachu from Yellow [[Time Capsule|is traded to]] Generation II, it will be holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}.

====Starting moveset====
{{Pokémon/1
|game=Yellow
|ndex=025
|pokemon=Pikachu
|type1=Electric
|level=5
|move1=ThunderShock|move1type=Electric
|move2=Growl|move2type=Normal}}

===In Generation II===
Red can be battled in [[Mt. Silver]], with a level 81 Pikachu on his team. At the time, his Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon that could be battled in the main series. This Pikachu is likely to have been based on Red's Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow.
{{Pokémon/2

|move3=Thunderbolt|move3type=Electric
|move4=Thunder|move4type=Electric}}

When brought into [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the player's Pikachu from Yellow still has its lack of a normal Pikachu's cry.

===In Generation IV===
Red's challenge at Mt. Silver returns in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. He still uses Pikachu in these games; it is now level 88. This again makes it the highest level Trainer-owned Pokémon in the series, a title it lost to {{ga|Barry}}'s starter Pokémon on the release of {{game|Platinum}} only a year before.

In the final battle, it is holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, while it knows the four moves used by [[Ash's Pikachu]] most often prior to the release of the games.

===In Generation V===
Red can be battled in the [[Champions Tournament]] of [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. He uses his Pikachu as his signature Pokémon once again in the battle, though it varies in gender.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Pikachu.png|200px|thumb|Ash's Pikachu in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===In the main series===
{{main|Ash's Pikachu}}
Red's Pikachu is mostly based on [[Ash Ketchum]]'s Pikachu in the [[Pokémon anime]] series.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Red's Pikachu briefly appeared in the [[Pokémon Origins]] episode ''[[PO04|File 4 - Charizard]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} caught it with a {{ball|Poké}}.
{{right clear}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pika.png|200px|thumb|Pika]]
[[File:Red Pikachu JBA.png|200px|left|thumb|Red's Pikachu in the Pocket Monsters HGSS manga]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Pika}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a character named {{adv|Red}} owns a Pikachu named [[Pika]]. While Pika is not technically Red's actual [[starter Pokémon]], he is still one of Red's closest companions.

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===
Red's Pikachu appears at the end of ''[[JBA6|The True Road to Becoming the Strongest!!]]'', though it debuted as a cameo in the end of [[JBA5|the previous chapter]].
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
*In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, there is a park called [[Amity Square]] where players may walk around with a Pokémon following them. While only certain kinds of Pokémon may follow the player, Pikachu is one of the few and may reference Red's Pikachu in {{game|Yellow}}.
*Red's Pikachu likely inspired, at least partly, the concept of any Pokémon [[walking Pokémon|following the player outside its Poké Ball]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
*When battling against Red, Pikachu appears to come from inside his Poké Ball, contradicting his dislike of doing so in Pokémon Yellow.
*Although Pikachu initially resides inside of its Poké Ball until the player has battled with the rival for the first time in Pokémon Yellow, it still enters the first battle from outside of the Ball.
*Red's Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon that will not evolve unless it is sent to another game.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the main character of [[Pokémon Origins]].
{{spoilers}}

==History==
[[File:Red-Blue rivalry PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Red and his rival, Blue]]
Red appeared in the first episode of the series, in which he was called by [[Professor Oak]] to see him in his {{TP|Professor Oak|lab|Laboratory}}. Along the way, he met up with his childhood friend and rival, Professor Oak's grandson, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who was also called there. The boys raced to Professor Oak's lab, where he greeted them and explained that he was done with his new invention, the [[Pokédex]]. He explained that his lifelong goal was to make a full encyclopedia on all of the Pokémon in Kanto, but was too old to travel and collect data. He asked them to catch all 149 Pokémon to fulfill his dream, and that whenever they caught a new Pokémon, their data would automatically be input in the Pokédex. On a table, Red was given the choice of either {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, or {{p|Bulbasaur}} as both a starter Pokémon and a token of appreciation for willing to complete this task. He chose Charmander, and Blue went for Squirtle. Each young {{pkmn|Trainer}} then began his journey.

On Route 1, he encountered a {{p|Pidgey}}, but was unsuccessful in catching it. However, when a {{p|Rattata}} came by, Red was able to catch it and add it to the Pokédex. Red's first Trainer battle was with a {{tc|Youngster}}, but when he tried to catch his opponent's {{p|Nidoran♀}} in a Poké Ball, it failed. The Youngster, now suspicious of Red, withdrew his Pokémon and ended the battle. The Youngster pointed to [[Viridian City]] as the location where he caught Nidoran♀, so Red decides to go there. On the way, he saw Blue and agreed to a battle. Both Trainers used their starter Pokémon, but Red forfeited after Charmander was pinned down by Squirtle's relentless {{m|Bite}}.

[[Brock]] noticed the disappointed Trainer and talked to him, cheering him up. Later, Red arrived in Pewter City and went to the [[Pokémon Center]] to video-chat with Professor Oak. After healing his Pokémon, Red visited the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. As Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] to challenge Brock, a {{tc|Lass}} and her friend talked to him and said he had a million years ahead of him before he challenged the Gym Leader. Brock then appeared, and Red recognized him as the Trainer who had talked to him before. Trainer and Gym Leader did {{pkmn|battle}}, with Red becoming the victor after a long match that took out most of his team.

Eventually, he was able to defeat [[Misty]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. He also encountered a crime syndicate called [[Team Rocket]] who had stolen the TM for Dig. Eventually, Red arrived in [[Lavender Town]], where he heard about some ghost sightings in the [[Pokémon Tower]], the town's Pokémon cemetery. Red went to the [[Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House]] and met one of its volunteers, [[Reina]]. Reina told Red that Team Rocket was near town poaching Pokémon, and how a newborn {{p|Cubone}} had lost its mother to them, and Team Rocket had then taken over the Pokémon Tower as their headquarters and kidnapped the owner of the Pokémon House, Mr. Fuji. Red decided to take Team Rocket on, so he went to the overtaken Pokémon Tower, where he encountered Blue again, who had heard about it too. A ghost then appeared and Red sent out his {{p|Charmeleon}} to deal with it. Blue tossed him the [[Silph Scope]], which he had stolen from a [[Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] in order to identify the ghost, which was then revealed to be Cubone's deceased mother, {{p|Marowak}}. Reina appeared with Cubone, who had a tender reunion with its mother. Team Rocket then found the group, but were defeated in battle by Cubone and Red's {{p|Jolteon}}, so they retreated. Red advanced to the Tower's top floor, where he found a tied-up Mr. Fuji. Red returned to the Pokémon House, where [[Mr. Fuji]] gave Red a [[Poké Flute]] and two [[Mega Stone|mysterious stones]]. Red then departed from Lavender Town and continued his journey.

Now a more-than-capable Trainer, Red challenged and defeated both [[Erika]] and [[Koga]] in Gym battles. He found Team Rocket's hideout under the [[Rocket Game Corner]], where he met their leader, Giovanni. Red then went to [[Silph Co.]], which had been overtaken by Team Rocket in an attempt to get the [[Master Ball]], where he was able to free the Pokémon they had stolen and was rewarded by a Silph scientist with a {{p|Lapras}}. On the top floor, Red found [[Giovanni]] and saw that he was holding the Silph Co. president hostage. Red battled Giovanni with Charizard and lost horribly.

Red left Silph Co. and challenged [[Sabrina]] to a Gym battle, which he won. Red also went to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and challenged [[Kiyo]], proving victorious again. Red rode Lapras to [[Cinnabar Island]] and visited the [[Cinnabar Mansion|Mansion]] first, where he found the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]]. Afterward, he challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won.
[[File:Red Hall of Fame PO.png|250px|left|thumb|Red's Hall of Fame team]]
Red returned to Viridian City to challenge the final Gym, whose Leader was none other than Giovanni. Red had a rematch with him and even though Giovanni had the upper hand at first, Red was able to defeat him after a very long battle finally ended when {{p|Charizard}} defeated {{p|Rhydon}}. This defeat convinced Giovanni to disband Team Rocket, train to become a better person and Trainer, quit his job as the Viridian City Gym Leader, and respect Red as a Trainer.

Red went to [[Indigo Plateau]] and managed to get through the [[Elite Four]]. He discovered that Blue had become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and challenged him still. The titanic battle was only decided when Charizard defeated Blastoise despite a type disadvantage. Soon afterward, Professor Oak came by to congratulate both Trainers and had Red follow him into the [[Hall of Fame]], where he registered his data as one of the Trainers who defeated the Elite Four and Champion.

He continued his quest to fill up the Pokédex and caught almost every Pokémon, including the [[legendary birds]]. Red returned to Professor Oak's lab and saw that Blue had been injured by a powerful being in [[Cerulean Cave]]. Red asked Blue to show him, in Red's Pokédex, what Pokémon it was. Professor Oak then realized that Red had caught all 149 Pokémon in Kanto. Professor Oak asked what the stones Red had were for, which Red didn't actually know. He explained that he had gotten them from Mr. Fuji in Lavender Town. He also mentioned that the Pokémon that attacked Blue may have been a then-newly-discovered Pokémon called {{p|Mew}}, which he had read about in the journal in the mansion on Cinnabar Island. Red also remembered reading about Mew being cloned into a Pokémon called {{p|Mewtwo}}, which then escaped from and destroyed the mansion. Professor Oak said that this must have been the work of Dr. Fuji. Red then realized that Dr. Fuji and Mr. Fuji were the same people. Professor Oak, meanwhile, remembered reading about the stones and told Red to hold onto the [[Key Stone|smaller of the two stones]] and let Charizard hold the other.

Red then went all the way to Cerulean Cave to find Mewtwo. Upon finding the Genetic Pokémon, a battle commenced immediately. Mewtwo's incredible power overwhelmed Red's entire team, save for one: Charizard. With Red and Charizard almost drowning in the water surrounding the island they were fighting on, Red's Mega Ring reacted with Charizard's Charizardite X, which was revealed to be a Mega Stone from the [[Kalos]] region. The reaction allowed Charizard to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X. Its newfound power allowed Charizard to weaken Mewtwo enough for Red to attempt capture. After a failed capture attempt, Red threw an Ultra Ball at Mewtwo and successfully caught it. He then returned home to a dinner with his mother, Blue, and Professor Oak. Realizing his work on the Pokédex was not done yet, Red ventured off to catch the most elusive of all Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}.

==Character ==
Red starts out as a well-meaning polite klutz with a heart of gold. His father named him to be warm-hearted with a strong sense of adventure like a powerful fire. However, he's not without faults as he tends to forget type-match ups and towards the beginning of his journey saw Pokemon as tool for battle rather than partners. Despite this, he has a strong sense of morality, and quick stand up for what he believes is right, even if others disagree.

Mewtwo's known moves are {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Confusion}}, {{m|Barrier}}, and {{m|Swift}}.}}
Red has 150 Pokémon in his collection, including one of each Pokémon featured in [[Generation I]] (except {{p|Mew}}); he caught several Pokémon off-screen.

Pokémon Center

2014-10-01T20:07:50Z

Netherman14: /* In Pokemon Origins */

{{samename|retail store chain|Pokémon Center (store)}}
----
[[File:Silver Cave entrance HGSS.png|300px|thumb|A rural Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
A '''Pokémon Center''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンター''' ''Pokémon Center'') is a type of building that provides regulatory services for {{pkmn|Trainer|Pokémon Trainers}}. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the {{pkmn|world|Pokémon world}}; every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Some Pokémon Centers can be found outside of towns next to large [[forest]]s or [[cave]]s. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} free of charge.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon Centers consist of a healing station run by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]], a [[Trade|trading]] connection club, a {{pkmn|battle|battling}} connection club (neither of which require wired connections as of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), and various [[Non-player character|NPCs]] that vary upon location (in rural areas, no NPCs may be present). As of [[Generation V]], salesmen from the [[Poké Mart]] and the deliveryman (in Generation V) or delivery girl (in [[Generation VI]]) appear when the [[Mystery Gift]] function is activated, due to its integration with the Pokémon Center. Mr. Medal also appears here in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} when awarding the player any [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medals]]. The connection clubs are absent in [[Generation VI]] and are replaced with the [[Player Search System]].

{{m|Fly}} brings the {{player}} to the Pokémon Center in the town or city chosen, and {{m|Teleport}} brings the player to the Pokémon Center they last visited (or to the Pokémon Center of the city or town they are currently in). Also, if defeated in battle, the player will appear at the Pokémon Center most recently visited (unless the player has not visited a Pokémon Center, in which case the player will appear outside his or her home).

==In the games==
Pokémon Centers are important buildings in the {{pkmn|games}} and are found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on [[route]]s. Pokémon Centers are essential to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. [[Non-player character]] Trainers and their own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are often found hanging around in Pokémon Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Pokémon Centers has varied slightly throughout each [[generation]], all Pokémon Centers have the same core functions:

* A [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals all [[party]] Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all [[status condition]]s and recharges {{Stat|HP}} and {{PP}} of all party Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
* Pokémon Centers also host the Cable Club and the [[Union Room]], which facilitates multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only {{pkmn|battle}} and [[trade]] with one another, but in later generations, players can [[Mixing records|mix records]]{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}} and [[Wi-Fi Plaza|play games]]{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} together.
* Trainers also have access to a [[PC]] so that they can change out their party. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with ability to store and withdraw items and display their [[Hall of Fame]] details.

In the [[Generation I]], {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|III}} games, [[saving]] inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Colosseum}}.

===Generation I===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RBY.png‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in the [[Generation I]] games]]
In the [[Generation I]] games, a Pokémon Center consists of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] that will heal the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. The Generation I games also include two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town: the Pokémon Centers in {{rt|4|Kanto}}, outside [[Mt. Moon]], and in {{rt|10|Kanto}}, outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future [[generation]]s employ rest houses that only offer healing services in similar areas.

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Heal Your POKéMON!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

====Cable Club====
Being the original link-up place, it is located at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. {{Player|Player}}s can link together to simply {{pkmn|battle}} each other one-on-one and [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with each other. Two players linked by a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable|Game Link Cable]] can enter the Cable Club. {{game|Yellow}} features an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside GSC.png|thumb|right|A regular Pokémon Center in the [[Generation II]] games]]
In the [[Generation II]] games, to accommodate greater linking functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor, there is the counter where a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as a [[PC]]. On the second floor resides the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]].

In the Japanese versions and Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sign of [[Johto]]'s Pokémon Centers have a [[Poké Ball]] logo and the letters ''PC'' while [[Kanto]]'s use the same sign as that of the [[Generation I]] games. In the localizations, the Generation I sign was used for both [[region]]s.

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Heal Your POKéMON!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consists of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitates [[Trade|trading]], the Cable Club Colosseum allows {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provides a way to trade {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female protagonists prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a {{player}} who has chosen Kris is temporarily swapped into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before linking with a [[Generation I]] game or with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}; this is still the case for two Pokémon Crystal games linked with each other, despite the sprite data for the female choice being present.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a [[Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====PokéCom Center====
{{main|Pokémon Communication Center}}
Exclusively in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], or PokéCom Center, replaces the regular Pokémon Center in [[Goldenrod City]], and takes use of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It is in essence a prototype for the [[Global Terminal]], justifying the placement of one in the city on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Generation III===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RSE.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside FRLG.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation III]] games keep the two-floor setup, similar to the regular Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation II]] games. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there are only three official Pokémon Centers. They are located in [[Phenac City]], [[Agate Village]], and [[Gateon Port]]. The Agate Village and Gateon Port Centers do not have facilities for linking with the [[Generation III]] [[Game Boy Advance]] games; however, all have unique appearances. Self-service healing machines, identical to ones staffed by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] in a Pokémon Center, appear scattered throughout Orre, generally next to a [[PC]].

====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club of the [[Generation II]] games, Pokémon Centers in [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] have a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four {{player}}s can link with a [[Game Boy Advance]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to {{pkmn|battle}} in a [[Double Battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Corner, which allows two to four {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to [[Mixing records|mix records]]. Mixed Trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on TVs found all across [[Hoenn]]. [[Secret Base]]s are also copied over in the process.

====Wireless Club====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, the second floor of Pokémon Centers house a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s may (in groups of five) [[Easy chat system|talk]] and {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as [[trade]] via a trading board. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Center and Colosseum (as well as the Record Corner in Emerald).

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside DPPt.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside HGSS.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, which takes use of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Opposite the ground floor's escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same features from the [[Generation III]] games, supporting up to four {{player}}s using the native wireless connection of the [[Nintendo DS]], the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The ground floor, as always, is where a player can heal their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and use a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}}, players can also challenge other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s inside specific Pokémon Centers also in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Olivine City]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon Center's design receives a major overhaul. The second floor became a {{wp|mezzanine}}, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The [[PC]] was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. If the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the player's party [[Fainting|fainted]] prior to healing, it will return to being the walking Pokémon as soon as it has been revived.

;Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum ONLY
{{sign|DPcity|header}}
{{sign|DPcity|Heal Your Pokémon!}}
{{sign|DPcity|title|Pokémon Center}}
{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

====Wireless Club====
Both [[Sinnoh]] and [[Generation IV]] [[Johto]] feature a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]], where {{player}}s in a [[Union Room]] can {{pkmn|battle}}, [[trade]], [[Mixing records|mix records]] and, in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, spin {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, the Pokémon Centers in these [[region]]s also have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, allowing players to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the [[Nintendo DS]], instead of using the [[easy chat system]] as in the Generation III games; however, the easy chat system is also supported.

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and is located on the basement floor. {{player|Players}} from around the world can enter a plaza to make [[Poffin]]s and play minigames together via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players there. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside BW.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In the [[Generation V]] games, the [[Poké Mart]] has been merged with the Pokémon Center. This is similar to how the [[Pokémon League]] lobbies of previous [[generation]]s contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. The [[PC]]s in this generation have a help function, which describes a wide variety of game-related topics.

As with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second floor is a {{wp|mezzanine}} above and directly behind the main desk. All multiplayer features found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation IV]] games, including the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] features present in the basements, can be found here by talking to the attendant to the left and on the center, respectively. The attendant to the right allows {{player}}s to access the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|Global Trade Station]] (GTS), as well as all the features from the [[Global Terminal]] expansion of it, such as playback of [[Vs. Recorder|recorded videos]]. The [[Global Battle Union]] (GBU) can also be accessed here, allowing players to {{pkmn|battle}} random players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The [[Global Terminal#Geonet|Geonet]] can also be found on the second floor, allowing players to register their real-world location, as in the [[Generation IV]] games. All Pokémon Centers except the one in the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}} have a second floor.

{{-}}

===Generation VI===
[[File:Pokémon Center XY Concept artwork.png|thumb|right|250px|Concept art depicting the internal layout of a Pokémon Center from [[Pokémon X and Y]]]]
In Generation VI, the wireless and online features previously accessible in Pokémon Centers are now handled by the Player Search System. As a result, the Centers are much smaller, as there is no need for additional floors anymore. The Pokémon Centers now consist of the traditional counter to heal the player's Pokémon, and two small rooms to the sides. The room located on the right of the counter houses the Poké Mart again, which is accessed by talking to an attendant. In certain towns, a second attendant who sells TMs, special types of Poké Balls, or other items is also present. The room to the left of the counter is a dressing room that allows the player to change clothes and register their favorite outfits.

If the player walks into a Pokémon Center on their [[birthday]] (as noted in the 3DS system), Nurse Joy will wish them a happy birthday.

==In the anime==
[[File:Unova Pokemon Center.png|thumb|right|200px|A Pokémon Center as it appears in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Pokémon Centers in the {{pkmn|anime}} are headed by a [[Nurse Joy]]. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, so {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} often have to wait until their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are fully healed. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon Storage System|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. Pokémon Centers are considered an important service, as shown in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'' where, in the past, the town residents built a Pokémon Center as a community project.

Pokémon Centers are designed for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Pokémon Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, [[PC]]s with [[Trade|trading]] functions and most offer free food and lodging. As a {{pkmn|journey|Pokémon journey}} can take a long time, Pokémon Centers can be used as mailing destinations. A Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Pokémon Center they're traveling to. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. A lobby may also have a large widescreen [[Television|TV]] or several smaller TVs so Trainers can watch typically Pokémon-oriented shows, such as ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'', [[Pokémon Contest]] broadcasts, and major competitions like the {{pkmn|League|Pokémon Leagues}} of each [[region]] and the [[Grand Festival]]. A typical sleeping room has a desk and chair and two sets of bunk beds to maximize space, and girls do not have to sleep in separate rooms from boys. At least one Pokémon Center was shown in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' to have a small library with a PC (presumably connected to some network akin to the {{wp|Internet}}), as an information room. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

As shown in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', Pokémon Centers have a curfew for their residing trainers. At 11:00 PM a metal screen is lowered down in front of the Pokémon Center's doorway, preventing trainers from entering or leaving the Pokémon Center after curfew.

==In Pokemon Origins==
Pokemon Centers are headed by a [[Pokemon Center Nurse]]. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, so [[Red (Origins)]] would often have to wait until his Pokemon are fully healed.
P.CS. exist so Trainers and their Pokemon can rest between battles and various activities, they can also be used as social gathering places where you can share information about Pokemon with other people, they have access to video phones, PCs with trading and storage functions for Pokemon when you already have six slots filled.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　あいたくなったら　ポケモンセンター "''When I want to meet Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center.''"
* For ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Live Caster]] is also about Pokémon Centers. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ジョーイさん　ポケモンセンター　やすみなし "''Nurse Joy, Pokémon Center, without a break.''"
* The Pokémon Center's game background music has remained essentially the same throughout the franchise. It is notably different at [[Time|nighttime]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. A remix has also been used in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, if the "walk through walls" cheat is used to go past the desk, and the cash register-like object is interacted with, the dialogue will be the same one used when interacting with the shelves in a [[Poké Mart]].
* In the {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a healing machine can be obtained in [[the Underground]] to be placed in the [[Secret Base]]. However, it cannot heal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
*In the original design document for [[Capsule Monsters]], Trainers restored their monsters health by staying at inns and hotels, which provided healing devices in rooms.<ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/8/</ref>

Netherman14: /* In the anime */

{{samename|retail store chain|Pokémon Center (store)}}
----
[[File:Silver Cave entrance HGSS.png|300px|thumb|A rural Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
A '''Pokémon Center''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンセンター''' ''Pokémon Center'') is a type of building that provides regulatory services for {{pkmn|Trainer|Pokémon Trainers}}. Pokémon Centers are found in most towns and cities of the {{pkmn|world|Pokémon world}}; every major city or town holds a Pokémon Center. Some Pokémon Centers can be found outside of towns next to large [[forest]]s or [[cave]]s. Pokémon Centers are built where many Trainers gather and the area becomes popular. This is to accommodate those Trainers in need and serve as a resting spot. The most common service the Pokémon Center offers is healing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} free of charge.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon Centers consist of a healing station run by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]], a [[Trade|trading]] connection club, a {{pkmn|battle|battling}} connection club (neither of which require wired connections as of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}), and various [[Non-player character|NPCs]] that vary upon location (in rural areas, no NPCs may be present). As of [[Generation V]], salesmen from the [[Poké Mart]] and the deliveryman (in Generation V) or delivery girl (in [[Generation VI]]) appear when the [[Mystery Gift]] function is activated, due to its integration with the Pokémon Center. Mr. Medal also appears here in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}} when awarding the player any [[List of Medals in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Medals]]. The connection clubs are absent in [[Generation VI]] and are replaced with the [[Player Search System]].

{{m|Fly}} brings the {{player}} to the Pokémon Center in the town or city chosen, and {{m|Teleport}} brings the player to the Pokémon Center they last visited (or to the Pokémon Center of the city or town they are currently in). Also, if defeated in battle, the player will appear at the Pokémon Center most recently visited (unless the player has not visited a Pokémon Center, in which case the player will appear outside his or her home).

==In the games==
Pokémon Centers are important buildings in the {{pkmn|games}} and are found in most towns and cities, sometimes even on [[route]]s. Pokémon Centers are essential to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s as they provide many facilities and host most game mechanics. [[Non-player character]] Trainers and their own {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are often found hanging around in Pokémon Centers, offering general advice and information on the events in the town or area it is situated in. Though the setup of the Pokémon Centers has varied slightly throughout each [[generation]], all Pokémon Centers have the same core functions:

* A [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals all [[party]] Pokémon in a matter of seconds. This service heals all [[status condition]]s and recharges {{Stat|HP}} and {{PP}} of all party Pokémon, free of charge. The nurse is located at the main counter just as the player enters the Pokémon Center.
* Pokémon Centers also host the Cable Club and the [[Union Room]], which facilitates multiplayer gameplay. Originally, linked players could only {{pkmn|battle}} and [[trade]] with one another, but in later generations, players can [[Mixing records|mix records]]{{sup/3|RSE}}{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}} and [[Wi-Fi Plaza|play games]]{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} together.
* Trainers also have access to a [[PC]] so that they can change out their party. Players are able to deposit and withdraw Pokémon, along with ability to store and withdraw items and display their [[Hall of Fame]] details.

In the [[Generation I]], {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|III}} games, [[saving]] inside a Pokémon Center is required to facilitate linking with console games such as {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{g|Colosseum}}.

===Generation I===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RBY.png‎|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in the [[Generation I]] games]]
In the [[Generation I]] games, a Pokémon Center consists of two counters on a single floor. The counter on the left has a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] that will heal the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The counter on the right contains the Cable Club, which allows players to link with each other. Talking to the women at the desk will allow the player to enter the Cable Club. Furthest to the right is the [[PC]] to deposit and withdraw Pokémon or items. The Generation I games also include two of the few examples of a Pokémon Center that isn't in a town: the Pokémon Centers in {{rt|4|Kanto}}, outside [[Mt. Moon]], and in {{rt|10|Kanto}}, outside the entrance to the [[Rock Tunnel]]. Future [[generation]]s employ rest houses that only offer healing services in similar areas.

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Heal Your POKéMON!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

====Cable Club====
Being the original link-up place, it is located at the far end of the Pokémon Center in [[Generation I]] [[Kanto]]. {{Player|Player}}s can link together to simply {{pkmn|battle}} each other one-on-one and [[trade]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with each other. Two players linked by a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable|Game Link Cable]] can enter the Cable Club. {{game|Yellow}} features an extended version of the Cable Club with the option to choose special battle rules or cups.

===Generation II===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside GSC.png|thumb|right|A regular Pokémon Center in the [[Generation II]] games]]
In the [[Generation II]] games, to accommodate greater linking functionality, the Pokémon Centers of both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] expanded to two floors. On the first floor, there is the counter where a [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] heals the {{player}}'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, as well as a [[PC]]. On the second floor resides the Cable Club and [[Time Capsule]].

In the Japanese versions and Korean versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sign of [[Johto]]'s Pokémon Centers have a [[Poké Ball]] logo and the letters ''PC'' while [[Kanto]]'s use the same sign as that of the [[Generation I]] games. In the localizations, the Generation I sign was used for both [[region]]s.

{{sign|RBY|header}}
{{sign|RBY|Heal Your POKéMON!}}
{{sign|RBY|title|POKéMON CENTER}}
{{sign|RBY|footer}}

====Cable Club====
Located upstairs in Pokémon Centers throughout [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], this Cable Club consists of three rooms. The Cable Club Trade Center facilitates [[Trade|trading]], the Cable Club Colosseum allows {{pkmn|battle|battling}}, and the Cable Club [[Time Capsule]] provides a way to trade {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the [[Generation I]] games. Because there were no female protagonists prior to {{ga|Kris}}'s introduction in {{game|Crystal}}, a {{player}} who has chosen Kris is temporarily swapped into the {{ga|Ethan|male player}} sprite before linking with a [[Generation I]] game or with {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}; this is still the case for two Pokémon Crystal games linked with each other, despite the sprite data for the female choice being present.

Two players can enter the Cable Club with a [[Game Boy]] or [[Game Boy Color]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}}.

====PokéCom Center====
{{main|Pokémon Communication Center}}
Exclusively in the Japanese version of {{game|Crystal}}, the [[Pokémon Communication Center]], or PokéCom Center, replaces the regular Pokémon Center in [[Goldenrod City]], and takes use of the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. It is in essence a prototype for the [[Global Terminal]], justifying the placement of one in the city on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Generation III===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside RSE.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside FRLG.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation III]] games keep the two-floor setup, similar to the regular Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation II]] games. The only difference is that the stairs to the second floor are larger and more noticeable, taking the shape of an escalator.

In [[Orre]], there are only three official Pokémon Centers. They are located in [[Phenac City]], [[Agate Village]], and [[Gateon Port]]. The Agate Village and Gateon Port Centers do not have facilities for linking with the [[Generation III]] [[Game Boy Advance]] games; however, all have unique appearances. Self-service healing machines, identical to ones staffed by a [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] in a Pokémon Center, appear scattered throughout Orre, generally next to a [[PC]].

====Cable Club====
Similar to the Cable Club of the [[Generation II]] games, Pokémon Centers in [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] have a Cable Club Colosseum and a Cable Club Trade Center. Now four {{player}}s can link with a [[Game Boy Advance]] {{wp|Game Link Cable}} to {{pkmn|battle}} in a [[Double Battle]]. A new feature was added to the Cable Club called the Cable Club Record Corner, which allows two to four {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to [[Mixing records|mix records]]. Mixed Trainer data shows up on [[television]] shows on TVs found all across [[Hoenn]]. [[Secret Base]]s are also copied over in the process.

====Wireless Club====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}, the second floor of Pokémon Centers house a Wireless Club. The Wireless Club meets in the [[Union Room]], where up to 40 {{pkmn|Trainer}}s may (in groups of five) [[Easy chat system|talk]] and {{pkmn|battle}}, as well as [[trade]] via a trading board. The Cable Club's room has the standard Trade Center and Colosseum (as well as the Record Corner in Emerald).

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside DPPt.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Pokémon Center inside HGSS.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In the [[Generation IV]] games, Pokémon Centers introduce a basement floor, which takes use of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Opposite the ground floor's escalator, another escalator downstairs to the basement appears. While the second floor retains the same features from the [[Generation III]] games, supporting up to four {{player}}s using the native wireless connection of the [[Nintendo DS]], the basement floor is where players can link up with others around the world using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The ground floor, as always, is where a player can heal their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and use a [[PC]]. As of {{game|Platinum}}, players can also challenge other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s inside specific Pokémon Centers also in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in [[Olivine City]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon Center's design receives a major overhaul. The second floor became a {{wp|mezzanine}}, located above and directly behind the main desk, and two staircases were added on each side of the desk for access to it. The [[PC]] was moved to the corner of the desk. All functions remain the same. The {{player}}'s [[walking Pokémon]] will return to its [[Poké Ball]] while being healed. If the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the player's party [[Fainting|fainted]] prior to healing, it will return to being the walking Pokémon as soon as it has been revived.

;Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum ONLY

{{sign|DPcity|Heal Your Pokémon!}}

{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

====Wireless Club====
Both [[Sinnoh]] and [[Generation IV]] [[Johto]] feature a wireless club just like [[Hoenn]] and [[Generation III]] [[Kanto]], where {{player}}s in a [[Union Room]] can {{pkmn|battle}}, [[trade]], [[Mixing records|mix records]] and, in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, spin {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, the Pokémon Centers in these [[region]]s also have a basement, where the Wi-Fi Club is located, allowing players to connect to each other if they are registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]]. Here they can battle and trade, and they can talk to each other through the built-in microphone of the [[Nintendo DS]], instead of using the [[easy chat system]] as in the Generation III games; however, the easy chat system is also supported.

====Wi-Fi Plaza====
The [[Wi-Fi Plaza]] is an enhancement to the Wi-Fi Club in {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and is located on the basement floor. {{player|Players}} from around the world can enter a plaza to make [[Poffin]]s and play minigames together via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. The player can walk around the plaza and communicate with other players there. A leap in multiplayer gameplay is introduced, allowing up to twenty players to enter the Wi-Fi Plaza at a time. The player may only spend a certain amount of time at the Wi-Fi Plaza each day.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
[[File:Pokémon Center inside BW.png|thumb|right|A Pokémon Center in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
In the [[Generation V]] games, the [[Poké Mart]] has been merged with the Pokémon Center. This is similar to how the [[Pokémon League]] lobbies of previous [[generation]]s contain both a Poké Mart and a Pokémon Center. The [[PC]]s in this generation have a help function, which describes a wide variety of game-related topics.

As with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second floor is a {{wp|mezzanine}} above and directly behind the main desk. All multiplayer features found on the second floor of Pokémon Centers in the [[Generation IV]] games, including the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] features present in the basements, can be found here by talking to the attendant to the left and on the center, respectively. The attendant to the right allows {{player}}s to access the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|Global Trade Station]] (GTS), as well as all the features from the [[Global Terminal]] expansion of it, such as playback of [[Vs. Recorder|recorded videos]]. The [[Global Battle Union]] (GBU) can also be accessed here, allowing players to {{pkmn|battle}} random players via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. The [[Global Terminal#Geonet|Geonet]] can also be found on the second floor, allowing players to register their real-world location, as in the [[Generation IV]] games. All Pokémon Centers except the one in the {{OBP|Pokémon League|Unova}} have a second floor.

{{-}}

===Generation VI===
[[File:Pokémon Center XY Concept artwork.png|thumb|right|250px|Concept art depicting the internal layout of a Pokémon Center from [[Pokémon X and Y]]]]
In Generation VI, the wireless and online features previously accessible in Pokémon Centers are now handled by the Player Search System. As a result, the Centers are much smaller, as there is no need for additional floors anymore. The Pokémon Centers now consist of the traditional counter to heal the player's Pokémon, and two small rooms to the sides. The room located on the right of the counter houses the Poké Mart again, which is accessed by talking to an attendant. In certain towns, a second attendant who sells TMs, special types of Poké Balls, or other items is also present. The room to the left of the counter is a dressing room that allows the player to change clothes and register their favorite outfits.

If the player walks into a Pokémon Center on their [[birthday]] (as noted in the 3DS system), Nurse Joy will wish them a happy birthday.

==In the anime==
[[File:Unova Pokemon Center.png|thumb|right|200px|A Pokémon Center as it appears in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Pokémon Centers in the {{pkmn|anime}} are headed by a [[Nurse Joy]]. The healing process takes place in real time, unlike in the games, so {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} often have to wait until their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are fully healed. All Pokémon Centers are connected and, in times of crisis, all Pokémon can be [[Pokémon Storage System|transferred]] from one to another, as seen in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''. Pokémon Centers are considered an important service, as shown in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]'' where, in the past, the town residents built a Pokémon Center as a community project.

Pokémon Centers are designed for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s so they can rest between {{pkmn|training|activities}}. Trainers use Pokémon Centers as gathering places, so they can share information about Pokémon. They also have access to video phones, [[PC]]s with [[Trade|trading]] functions and most offer free food and lodging. As a {{pkmn|journey|Pokémon journey}} can take a long time, Pokémon Centers can be used as mailing destinations. A Trainer can arrange for their loved ones to send them packages, typically to the next Pokémon Center they're traveling to. Inside a typical Pokémon Center, one can find a front desk, a lobby (sometimes with vending machines), a [[Poké Ball]] room, an Emergency Room with plenty of beds for injured Pokémon, a recovery room, a waiting room, rooms for lodging, and a cafeteria. A lobby may also have a large widescreen [[Television|TV]] or several smaller TVs so Trainers can watch typically Pokémon-oriented shows, such as ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'', [[Pokémon Contest]] broadcasts, and major competitions like the {{pkmn|League|Pokémon Leagues}} of each [[region]] and the [[Grand Festival]]. A typical sleeping room has a desk and chair and two sets of bunk beds to maximize space, and girls do not have to sleep in separate rooms from boys. At least one Pokémon Center was shown in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' to have a small library with a PC (presumably connected to some network akin to the {{wp|Internet}}), as an information room. It is unknown how these activities performed by a Pokémon Center are financed. On the outside, they come in all shapes and sizes, but usually have a rather large ''P'' somewhere.

As shown in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', Pokémon Centers have a curfew for their residing trainers. At 11:00 PM a metal screen is lowered down in front of the Pokémon Center's doorway, preventing trainers from entering or leaving the Pokémon Center after curfew.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the main character of [[Pokémon Origins]].
{{spoilers}}


==History==
[[File:Red-Blue rivalry PO.png|250px|thumb|left|Red and his rival, Blue]]
Red appeared in the first episode of the series, in which he was called by [[Professor Oak]] to see him in his {{TP|Professor Oak|lab|Laboratory}}. Along the way, he met Professor Oak's grandson, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, who was also called there. The boys raced to Professor Oak's lab, where he greeted them and handed them their [[Pokédex]]es and [[Poké Ball]]s. On a table, Red was given the choice of either {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, or {{p|Bulbasaur}} as his starter Pokémon. He chose Charmander, and Blue went for Squirtle. Each young {{pkmn|Trainer}} then began his journey.

Outside, he encountered a {{p|Pidgey}}, but was unsuccessful in catching it. However, when a {{p|Rattata}} came by, Red was able to add it to his team. Red's first battle was with a {{tc|Youngster}}, but when he tried to catch his opponent's {{p|Nidoran♀}} in a Poké Ball, it failed. The Youngster, now suspicious of Red, withdrew his Pokémon and ended the battle. The Youngster pointed to [[Viridian City]] as the location where he caught Nidoran♀, so Red decides to go there. On the way, he saw Blue and agreed to a battle. Both Trainers used their starter Pokémon, but Red forfeited after Charmander was pinned down by Squirtle's relentless {{m|Bite}}.

[[Brock]] noticed the disappointed Trainer and talked to him, cheering him up. Later, Red arrived in Pewter City and went to the [[Pokémon Center]] to talk to Professor Oak. After healing his Pokémon, Red visisted the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. As Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] to challenge Brock, a {{tc|Lass}} and another person talked to him. They then watched as Trainer and Gym Leader did {{pkmn|battle}}, with Red becoming the victor after a long match that took out most of his team.

Eventually, he was able to defeat [[Misty]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. Red arrived in [[Lavender Town]], where he heard about some ghost sightings in [[Lavender Tower]]. Red went to the [[Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House]] and met one of its assistants, [[Reina]]. Reina told Red about [[Team Rocket]], how they treat Pokémon, and how a {{p|Cubone}} lost its mother to them. Red decided to take Team Rocket on, so he went to the overtaken Lavender Tower, where he encountered Blue again, who had heard about it too. A ghost then appeared and Red sent out his {{p|Charmeleon}} to deal with it. Blue tossed him the [[Silph Scope]] in order to identify the ghost, which was Cubone's deceased mother, {{p|Marowak}}. Reina appeared with Cubone, who had a tender reunion with its mother. Team Rocket then found the group, but were defeated in battle by Cubone and Red's {{p|Jolteon}}, so they retreated. Red returned to the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, where [[Mr. Fuji]] gave Red a [[Poké Flute]] and two [[Mega Stone|mysterious stones]]. Red then departed from Lavender Town and continued his journey.

Now a more-than-capable Trainer, Red challenged and defeated both [[Erika]] and [[Koga]] in Gym battles. Red then went to [[Silph Co.]], where he was able to free the Pokémon that Team Rocket stole and was rewarded a {{p|Lapras}}. On the top floor, Red met [[Giovanni]] and saw that he was holding the Silph Co. president hostage. Red battled Giovanni with Charizard and lost horribly.

Red left Silph Co. and challenged [[Sabrina]] to a Gym battle, which he won. Red also went to the [[Fighting Dojo]] and challenged [[Kiyo]], proving victorious again. Red rode Lapras to [[Cinnabar Island]] and visited the [[Cinnabar Mansion|Mansion]] first, where he found the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]]. Afterward, he challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won.

Red returned to Viridian City to challenge the final Gym, whose Leader was none other than Giovanni. Red had a rematch with him and even though Giovanni had the upper hand at first, Red was able to defeat him after a very long battle finally ended when {{p|Charizard}} defeated {{p|Rhydon}}. This defeat convinced Giovanni to disband Team Rocket and respect Red as a Trainer.

Red went to [[Indigo Plateau]] and managed to get through the [[Elite Four]]. He discovered that Blue had become the [[Champion]] and challenged him still. The titanic battle was only decided when Charizard defeated Blastoise despite a type disadvantage. Soon afterward, Professor Oak came by to congratulate both Trainers and had Red follow him into the [[Hall of Fame]], where he registered his data as one of the Trainers who defeated the Elite Four and Champion.

He continued his quest to fill up the Pokédex and caught almost every Pokémon, including the [[legendary birds]]. Red returned to Professor Oak's lab and saw that Blue had been injured by some powerful being in [[Cerulean Cave]]. Both boys compare their Pokédexes to see who had a bigger collection. Professor Oak then explained to Red the Mega Evolution stones and their origins, as well as {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}}.

Red then went all the way to Cerulean Cave to find Mewtwo. Upon finding the Genetic Pokémon, a battle commenced immediately. Mewtwo's incredible power overwhelmed Red's entire team, save for one: Charizard. Just as it seemed as if not even his prized Pokémon could keep up a battle with Mewtwo, Red managed to get Charizard to Mega Evolve into Mega Charizard X. Its newfound power allowed Charizard to weaken Mewtwo enough for Red to attempt capture. After several failed Balls, Red threw an Ultra Ball at Mewtwo and successfully caught it. He then returned home to a dinner with his mother, Blue, and Professor Oak. Realizing his work on the Pokédex is not done yet, Red ventured off to catch the most elusive of all Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}.
