Nintendo Mad: /* XY Version Lyrics Each vs Teach */ new section

Should information about Blue/Green from the manga appearing in the opening be mentioned? According to Wikipedia: "''It is interesting to note that she [Green], Red, and Blue appeared in the original American Red and Blue pamphlets with their starter pokemon (she had her Squirtle, Red his Bulbasaur, and Blue his Charmander) but few knew who she was and she had her back to the reader. Also, in the beginning of the first anime series Pikachu runs between her legs (again, to the confusion of American viewers-she was never seen in the anime and was not explained, many thought she was just a Lass.)"'' [[User Talk:Matkin22|Matkin22]]

No! Bulbapedia isn't reliable source on the Point of Pokemon! It's full of fake informations and hopeless speculations! I'll never believe that she's Blue from PokeSpe! Look at her and Look at Blue! They don't ever look alike! I believe in popular speculation that she's plain Lass (miniskirt, cute clothing and really Lass-ish design) I have an early Sugimori Art of Lass and I also have the early Sugimori Art of Red, Green and Blue with their Starters so I know it better. Blue is seen only from behind but she has completely different hair and black clothes. So, we can be sure that she's not Blue. She's likely to be Lass. And a small Trivia. She is actually seen in anime. She's got a few cameos in few episodes in Pokemon Center and other crowded places (like the not-so-famous "Boy in Hat"). - [[User:Maxim|Maxim]]

== Lyrics source ==

Okay, I don't know what's Leo's lyrics database, but it's not the source. I wrote it down myself. So stop adding it. Thanx.--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 19:04, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

:Have these lyrics been checked with an official source? I thought it was "''teach'' Pokémon to understand", not "''each'' Pokémon to understand"... maybe I'm just tired, though. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 19:11, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

::Okay, not checked, but this one I'm 100% certain about. It says SEARCHING far and wide EACH pokemon. You know, like "Gotta catch 'em all"? Teach makes no sense.--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 19:28, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

:::I hear it as "''Teach'' Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." which makes a lot more sense to me than "''Each'' Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." --[[User:MoonHitler|MoonHitler]] 21:00, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

==Dragonforce?==

Where did the idea of Dragonforce playing the theme song come from? 0_0 --[[User:Jonouchi|Ricco]] 02:36, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

==Other Language Lyrics==

I was wondering if there was somewhere to post the lyrics for the song in other languages? I have the lyrics for the Arabic dub theme song, along with a YouTube link. Is there anywhere on the site to post lyrics in other languages? -- [[User:Zedd|Zedd]] 18:49, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:No, we don't include lyrics other than in Japanese and English. If enough people disagree with this, though, maybe we'll bring the issue to a vote. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 19:37, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== Error ==

This article includes a bit on Meowth's missing fang in the opening. Considering that scene was used in the Mezase Pokemon Master opening, shouldn't that bit of trivia go there instead of here? [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 16:15, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:Maybe a head-on comparison should be in order. If we look at around 0:40-0:41 in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsMpOHR-cpE this video of the US opening], we see the fang missing as Meowth jumps into the frame. The comparable scene from the Japanese opening is in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMTBU_W9ZQk this video] from 0:45-0:46; however, the "missing fang" is obscured by the onscreen lyrics. (The visuals are what's important here; the needless censor bleeps in the first video and {{wp|Vuvuzela|what happens when you click the soccer ball}} in the second are not important in the least.)

:My [[$1|2¢]]: No, the trivia should not be mentioned on the Japanese page ''instead'' of the English one. ''In addition'' to, maybe, but definitely not instead of. Yes, I do believe the "missing fang" was there in the original Japanese iteration (UPDATE 23:07, 4 July 2010 (UTC): Caught the missing fang in a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqV4lOlXWiA lyricless Chinese sequence] using the uncut Japanese video footage), but it's actually more noticable in the US opening because of the lack of onscreen lyrics. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

==Incorrect Lyrics?==

I have listened to this song and the part after "You teach me and I'll teach you" sounds a lot to me like "All day long" not "Pokémon". Does anyone else think that? [[User:Buddy999|Buddy999]] 15:58, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
:No. It's not. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 19:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== "Each" or "Teach" ==

I personally believe the line is "Teach Pokémon to understand the power that's inside." rather than "Searching far and wide each Pokémon to understand" then randomly saying "The power that's inside." [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 00:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

:::Just listened to the theme song like 5 times it's EACH pokémon we'll leave the lyrics the same. Yay problem solved! [[User:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] 00:43, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::(edit conflict) Is [[Tracey West]] anything more than a fan who has the rights to write Poké novelisations? I suppose its technically the closest thing we have to an official source, though. [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 00:47, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::The way I see it, it does make sense, it just isn't worded particularly well. ''I will travel. . . Searching far and wide [for] Each Pokémon [in order] to understand . . .'' or similar. Probably the poor wording was required to make it fit the tune and/or beat of the song. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:51, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::I thought Ash already knew about "the power that's inside". His fault that he was an idiot. Pikachu started off as a jerk, Charizard was also mean, so teaching them it would make more sense. [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 00:54, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::It's been proven that its EACH. Your not making any sence. Yeah don't worry I'll ask the writers next time I go to Japan... [[User:Pokemaster97|Pokemaster97]] 00:58, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::The only other source I can think of is the lyrics booklet to the CD version of [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]], but alas, the cassette version has no lyrics and I bought my CD used so it has no booklet. So unless someone has the booklet and it contradicts my book, we'll stick with "each". It's the only printed source we have. [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 01:01, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::::For the record, the word is 'sense' and the Japanese writers have little control over what the dub's lyrics are. Anyway, this discussion seems to be over, since there's that book. So unless anyone has any sources to say otherwise, then we'll just have to keep it as 'each'. [[User:Harry Blue5|Harry Blue5]] 01:06, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
::::::::I'd like to add that I was recently researching this- and I stumbled upon the lyrics of the spanish version, quote: "Enseñe a Pokémon de entender / El poder que hay dentro" which literally translates to "Teach Pokémon to understand / The power that's inside". The verb Enseñar = "to teach". Also, I definitely believe the syntax with "teach" makes much more sense. [[User:Pookiemons|Pookiemons]] 05:39, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
===Confirmation of lyric "Teach" from John===
I got tired of this argument and decided to email the source and tracked down John Loeffler's current company and contact information. One of his assistants got back to me and relayed the message. I'll post both my query and the response below, with personal details removed, of course.

'''The Question'''
Greetings John,

I am a theatre technician within the Boston area with a huge interest in video games. Approaching some of the history of a series fond to me, Pokemon, I discovered that you had written the Pokemon theme song to the English dub for the show. I wanted to both congratulate you on such great success, and ask a question that has been tearing the internet apart for years: According to your best memory of the lyrics of the song, are you "teaching Pokemon to understand" or "Each Pokemon to understand the power that's inside".

This conflict has caused massive fanbase arguments and problems interpreting which was meant. I figured what better way to find an answer to this dilemma than to contact the source directly and ask.

I appreciate your time and assistance in putting this matter to rest.

Cordially,
Angela M.

'''The Answer'''

Hi Angela,

John tried to respond and for some reason the email bounced back, so hopefully you receive this one.

Despite the multiple websites that have it written incorrectly, John confirmed that the correct lyric is " TEACH "

Hope this helps!

Best,

Erin L.
Assistant- Rave/Fieldhouse Music

'''Conclusion'''

Given this communication, where the writer of the song has expressed the intention that was trying to be made, I think it's safe to say that we can change this and make the world finally at peace. [[User:Silivrenion|Silivrenion]] ([[User talk:Silivrenion|talk]]) 05:04, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

: I wanted to add the original file showing this information, and use it as a source for the article. I had made the change to the article, but someone reverted using the citation of Google search results, which seems dubious and counter to verifiable information. Resubmitting the changes using this source as a reference.

== A.J. ==

How do we know that the Sandshrew seen is A.J.'s? For that matter, how do we know the Kadabra in the next part as Sabrina's? --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 19:54, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

== Lapras ==

Ash was seen riding on a Lapras. I know it wasn't until next season but this could be referring to Ash's temporary capture of Lapras. So I think we should list the Lapras as (Ash's). Who knows how much they've planned? For all we know they could have planned Palpitoad's capture since the before the first episode. (lol) [[User:Djulienr|Djulienr]] 21:41, 24 May 2011 (UTC)

== Spoilers ==

Should we also mention in the spoilers that Brock and Misty travels with Ash on his Journey? And we have Ash catching Bulbasaur, so why not Pidgeotto, Squirtle?--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:09, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

== XY remix ==

About the new trailer for the English dub of the XY series, if that remix of the original theme is in fact going to be the shows actual, should it get it's own page or be put here (in the same way as how the two versions of "Together" share a page)?
[[User:TheFatPanda|TheFatPanda]] ([[User talk:TheFatPanda|talk]]) 15:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
:Here. Remixes don't get new pages. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 15:45, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

== I can't see him, is it just the colors? ==

Ok, I wanna talk to whoever said the Lucario is seen Mega Evolving in the XY English opening. I showed the opening to my Pokemon friends irl and they said they couldn't see Lucario. Yes, there is a brief moment with Mega Lucario's colors and the Mega Evolution symbol, but it could not have been confirmed as Mega Lucario unless more physical features are shown. Even I looked over and over to the moment where Pikachu uses Electro Ball and the Mega Evolution moment. Thus, it's quite uncertain if it is Lucario Mega Evolving primarily because of the colors shown. [[User:The Seeker|The Seeker]] ([[User talk:The Seeker|talk]]) 20:10, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

While it'd be very hard to confirm it as a Lucario by only watching the dub intro, we mainly kno it is indeed a Lucario due to the [[V (Volt)|Japanese opening]] featuring the whole scene, where Lucario can be clearly seen. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 17:59, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

== XY Version Lyrics Each vs Teach ==

Hi, I started a new discussion thread since I think the old one was pertaining to the older version of this song. Is it OK if I change the lyrics in the XY remix Movie version to "Each Pokémon" rather than "Teach Pokémon" as it not only sounds like "each" but is also confirmed in the Netflix closed captioning.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Thousands of years in the past, the legendary Alpha Pokémon {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} came to Earth to retrieve the "[[Jewel of Life]]" that it had loaned to a man named [[Damos]]. Damos however betrayed Arceus and attacked it with a large army of Pokémon. After presumably killing Damos in its counterattack, Arceus went to sleep, vowing to judge all humans when it next returns based on Damos's actions.

After walking through a patch of long grass {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} reach a beautiful area called [[Michina Town]]. Deciding to take the chance to relax, everyone sends out their Pokémon and make the most of the idyllic surroundings. As they are playing in the river, three watermelons float towards them. The gang looks forward to eating them when a boy named [[Kato]] and a girl named [[Kiko]] come to claim the watermelons, as they belong to them but were washed away when they were left in the river to cool. Everyone is disappointed, so Kato and Kiko make them a deal... Ash and his friends can have them if they can beat them in a [[Tag Battle]]. Taking on Kato and Kiko's {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Beautifly}}, Ash and {{an|Dawn}} use {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Although the battle is hard fought, the teamwork between Trainers and Pokémon shines through and Ash and Dawn win, but decide to share the watermelons with Kato, Kiko and all the Pokémon. Later, Kato and Kiko recommend that they go Michina Town's famous ruins.

Ripples start to emerge from another part of time and space, which causes a spatial distortion to open near the gang. Although {{an|Brock}} is able to hold on to Ash and Dawn, Pikachu and Piplup are swept away and although Piplup is able to stop the two from being immediately sucked in by using {{m|BubbleBeam}} to stop the momentum, it appears all is lost for the two. Suddenly a girl named [[Sheena]] arrives and calls {{mov|Dialga}}, the Pokémon that rules over time, to come and help. Dialga saves Pikachu and Piplup from being sucked into the distortion, and after returning the Pokémon to their Trainers then uses {{m|Roar of Time}} to close it up. Everyone is amazed to see the legendary Dialga hovering above them, and even more so that Sheena was able to summon and communicate with it.

Suddenly, another ripple starts to emerge from the river but it isn't another distortion... it's {{mov|Giratina}}! The Renegade Pokémon immediately attacks Dialga, still enraged over the damage done to its world. Everyone can't believe that Giratina is still after Dialga and plead with it to stop. Sheena attempts to use her special ability to touch a Pokémon's heart to reach and calm Giratina, however Giratina is so full of rage that her attempts fail and she is caught by her partner {{mov|Kevin}}. Ash runs towards where Giratina is battling Dialga in the river and pleads with it to stop. Giratina stares at Ash for a few seconds, and remembers that Ash was the person that [[M11|saved its life]] before. Giratina's anger dissipates, and Sheena takes the chance to reach Giratina using her powers and convinces it that Dialga has been misunderstood and shouldn't be battled. Giratina understands and immediately returns to its own dimension.

Sheena and Kevin introduce themselves to everyone, and Sheena explains that she has the ability to connect with a Pokémon's heart and communicate with them. Sheena is especially curious about Ash and Pikachu, as she recalls a legend that a Thunder Creature and its master once changed the course of Michina Town's history and asks the gang to accompany her. Naturally Brock moves in with yet another misguided romantic attempt claiming that Sheena helped to remove the pain that was caused by a scraped elbow... unfortunately for Brock, the pain is delivered right back courtesy of {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}'s {{m|Poison Jab}}. As Croagunk drags the truly hopeless romantic {{an|Brock}} away, suddenly another distortion appears and Dialga is caught in the resulting water spout traps Dialga and the distortion starts to drag it away. Suddenly another portal appears and from it emerges {{mov|Palkia}}, the Pokémon that rules over space. Palkia uses {{m|Spacial Rend}} to free Dialga and close the distortion, and Sheena communicates with them both and uses her amazing powers to end the conflict between them for good. Both Pokémon, having settled their differences, return to their own dimensions.

Nearby, everyone is being watched by none other than [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}. Jessie is very excited to have not only seen the rulers of space and time but also a woman who can control them. Jessie attempts to use her charm to touch Meowth's heart, but it's Meowth's Charm that ends up doing the hypnotizing, as Jessie falls in love with her own reflection which is shown on the shiny surface. James and Meowth can only sigh for their one-track minded teammate.

Inside the ruins, Sheena and Kevin show everyone the Time-Space Axis, which they use to monitor disruptions in the space-time continuum. With the help of the Axis, Sheena and Kevin were present when Palkia returned [[Alamos Town]] to its correct location, and also were able to investigate the glacier that was damaged during the conflict with [[Zero]]. Sheena and Kevin explain the various worlds that exist...first there's the human world, which is supported by Giratina's [[Reverse World]], then there are the Temporal and Spatial Worlds inhabited by Dialga and Palkia... and these were all said to have created by the legendary Pokémon... Arceus. Recently, Arceus has begun to awaken which has caused ripples in the space-time continuum. As a result, the Temporal and Spatial Worlds intersected with each other. Both Dialga and Palkia believed that the other had attempted to invade their territory which caused [[M10|the battle that almost destroyed Alamos Town]]. As a result of the battle, the Reverse World was damaged causing Giratina to be drawn into the conflict. Sheena explains that she was unable to reach Giratina's heart due to it being filled with anger.

Meanwhile, at the center of space-time, Arceus awakens and begins its journey to the human world...

Although the conflict between Dialga and Palkia has been resolved, according to the Axis it is nearly time to Arceus to emerge... and deliver its {{m|Judgment}} upon the world. Sheena tells the legend that once the planet was in serious danger from being destroyed by meteorites. However Arceus helped to destroy the meteorites, but in the process lost the sixteen Life Plates that normally helped it defend against any possible attack. Arceus's death appeared to be inevitable when a man named [[Damos]] helped Arceus retrieve the plates and ensured its survival. At the time Michina Town was a desolate wasteland but Arceus, in gratitude at being saved, used five of its plates to create the [[Jewel of Life]] which helped transform the wasteland into a paradise. Arceus put its own life at risk to create the Jewel of Life, however when the day came that Damos was supposed to return it he instead betrayed Arceus and attacked it. He believed that returning the Jewel of Life would doom Michina Town and cause it to return to its previous state. Arceus, filled with unspeakable fury at being betrayed by Damos after risking its life to help him, destroyed the shrine but was injured so was forced to sleep and recover but it was known that eventually Arceus would return and unleash its wrath upon the planet. Sheena then tells everyone an astonishing fact; Damos is her ancestor. However her plan is to try to calm Arceus by returning the Jewel of Life which is in her possession. Suddenly the Time-Space Axis begins to chime and shake violently, which means only one thing... it is time for Arceus to emerge.

Arceus arrives in the human world and, still filled with fury over its previous betrayal, begins to pass down its Judgment. It sends a sphere into the air, from which several energy beams emerge and begin to destroy Michina Town and the ruins. Suddenly, Arceus sees Sheena and she apologizes for Damos's despicable actions in the past and humbly returns the Jewel of Life. Arceus calms briefly before suddenly becoming even more enraged than before as it steps on the Jewel of Life shattering it into pieces. Arceus furiously tells Sheena that the Jewel of Life was made up of itself and cannot be broken... the one Sheena had possession of was a fake. Taking this as a sign that humanity cannot possibly be trusted, Arceus completely destroys the ruins, sending Team Rocket (who has rather grand plans of stealing the Jewel of Life and capturing Arceus) falling into the river below. Michina Town continues to crumble beneath Arceus's might until Dialga, Palkia and Giratina return to stop it. Palkia is able to subdue Arceus long enough to allow Dialga to send everyone but Kevin back in time to alter the past.

When the group arrives, they see Damos enter the temple with the Jewel of Life on a staff. Following him, they all witness as he betrays Arceus as already known, however, it becomes apparent that another man who is dressed in a red toga and controls a {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Bronzong}} wearing strange armor is also involved. Furthermore, Damos appears to be under hypnosis of some sort. When Arceus violently counterattacks, Ash and his friends nearly fall to their deaths along with Damos and the other man, but Sheena quickly prays to Dialga again and manages to get it to send them back a bit further in time.

Meanwhile, in the present day, Arceus is gaining the upper hand in its battle against the [[creation trio]] and the strain of sending the group back in time causes Dialga to faint.

Ash, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Dawn}} and Sheena arrive in the afternoon several hours prior to Damos's betrayal. Sheena becomes alarmed when she realizes that Dialga can no longer send them through time, and things get worse when a group of armed soldiers surrounds them. The man in the toga appears with his Bronzong and has it use {{m|Hypnosis}} on everyone but Sheena. The girl attempts to warn him of what is going to happen, garnering the man's interest, so he orders his guards to take the others away while he interrogates Sheena.

Ash, Brock and Dawn are thrown in a jail cell guarded by [[Tapp|an old man]] and soon realize they are sharing the space with Damos, who appears jovial and in control of himself, unlike what had previously been seen. The group's initial reaction to him is overwhelmingly negative, to which he takes offense. The gang explain that they're from the future, which Ash demonstrates by briefly sending out {{AP|Monferno}}. Damos is amazed by the [[Poké Ball]], technology that doesn't exist in this time, and believes their story and starts to tell them his. Damos explains that in the past, he was traveling through the wasteland that was Michina Town when he witnessed the destruction of the meteor by Arceus, and found it when it was nearly killed by losing the Life Plates. After searching the area, he found one of the Life Plates and returned it to the Alpha Pokémon. As a result, Arceus began to heal and all the other Life Plates were able to return to their owner, completely restoring Arceus's strength. Although Arceus was healthy, the same couldn't be said for Michina Town. The land was barren and lifeless and it appeared that Damos and the other inhabitants wouldn't survive the coming winter. Arceus, wishing to help the person that had helped it when it was near death, decided to grant Damos the use of its plates. First it handed over the Plates that harnessed the power of {{DL|Plate|Earth Plate|Ground}}, {{DL|Plate|Meadow Plate|Grass}} and {{DL|Plate|Splash Plate|Water}} then bound them together with the power of {{DL|Plate|Zap Plate|Electricity}} and then increased their powers with the force of the {{DL|Plate|Draco Plate|Dragon}} and formed the Jewel of Life. With the Jewel of Life, Michina Town was soon flourishing with life. Crops were plentiful and the entire area was a beautiful sight. Arceus returned to visit and was happy to see Damos doing so much good, but explained that the Jewel of Life must be returned at the date of the next solar eclipse as its life was in danger while it was parted from any of its Life Plates. Damos then built a shrine to Michina Town's savior, and ends the story insisting that he has no intention of ''not'' returning the Jewel.

After hearing that they were imprisoned by a man with a Bronzong, Damos identifies him as [[Marcus]]. Thinking back, Brock realizes that Marcus and Bronzong were present at the scene of Damos's betrayal and theorizes that Marcus was the real mastermind and that he was controlling Damos through Bronzong's Hypnosis.

Marcus, meanwhile, is hosting Sheena at a dinner. She explains everything to him, that Damos is going to betray Arceus and cause the world to be placed in danger, so Marcus agrees to assist her in stopping him. He then walks over to an area obscured by his Heatran and secretly removes the Jewel of Life from its staff before presenting Sheena with the empty staff. Sheena, unknowing of Marcus's true nature, goes off willingly with him to the temple.

Just in the nick of time, a [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] that Damos had previously befriended, through use of the same ability Sheena possesses, appears and gives him the jail cell's keys so they can escape.

At the temple, the eclipse begins and Arceus enters wondering why Damos isn't the one returning the Jewel of Life. Sheena tells Arceus that Damos is not coming as he planned to betray it. Arceus is shocked that his friend would ever turn against him, and Sheena attempts to give the Jewel to it, only for Marcus to initiate the attack. However this time the attack proceeds differently, as Marcus has altered the attack plan based on Sheena's information. This time, as well as attacking Arceus with the other controlled Pokémon, he begins to pour silver water onto Arceus which instantly hardens around it. Ash's group arrives and Sheena meets Damos for the first time, while Ash confronts the true villain. He and Dawn attempt to battle Heatran and Bronzong, but both are far too powerful. Instead, he attempts to defeat Marcus with hand-to-hand combat. This also fails, but Marcus drops the Jewel. It is nearly destroyed but Ash manages to recover it. Meanwhile, Damos and Sheena attempt to get to Arceus, however the two are almost killed by the silver water, but luckily Brock arrives and has {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} use {{m|Hammer Arm}} on the ground, creating a chasm for the water to fall into.

Arceus, meanwhile, is losing strength under the force of Marcus's attack, and without some of its Life Plates begins to die from the constant bombardment. Damos and Sheena combine their power and manage to touch the hearts of Damos' Pokémon, which are being controlled by the armor they wear. Ash and Dawn have Pikachu and Piplup destroy the armor on Heatran and Bronzong with {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Peck}}. The assault frees them, and they turn on Marcus while the other Pokémon stop their attack. Marcus smugly declares that even if he fails, Arceus will still die, and the future that Ash and his friends came from will cease to exist, meaning they will no longer exist as well. True to his word, Pikachu soon vanishes, and Ash begins to vanish as well as he attempts to return the Jewel of Life to the nearly-dead Arceus. Damos manages to reach the last spark of life in Arceus' heart, giving it enough strength to reabsorb the Jewel and completely recover. With Marcus's plan thwarted, Pikachu is restored to life. As the area collapses, Arceus saves the group, as well as Damos' Pokémon, freeing the Pokémon in the process, then returns Ash's group to their proper time.

Arriving back in the present day, it appears that things have become peaceful due to the changes in the past. However, this is not the case - Arceus has completely defeated Dialga, Palkia and Giratina, and is preparing its final Judgment attack to destroy all of Michina Town. Ash cries out to it, begging it to remember that everything was fixed in the past, and just before the attack's destruction begins, Arceus remembers that this is true and halts its rampage. The changes to the past finally catch up to the present, restoring Michina Town to normal and healing the creation trio. Later, as the sun sets over Michina Town, the gang bid farewell to Dialga, Palkia and Giratina as they return of their own dimensions. Brock is confused as Michina Town is still flourishing despite the Jewel of Life being returned, but Arceus explains that Damos and the others devoted their entire lives to making sure Michina Town remained beautiful. Also, Sheena finds a new monument upon which there is an engraving of Ash, Dawn, Brock and Sheena as well as a message of thanks from Damos himself. Sheena begins to cry, now finally knowing the full truth about the ancestor she was ashamed of. Arceus says his goodbyes to everyone, but not before noting that for the first time it truly feels it belongs to the world they inhabit.

In the credits, it is revealed that Marcus went on to become an employee of Damos as a steward of the temple. In [[Alamos Town]], [[Tonio]] and [[Alice]] fly in a hot air balloon while [[Baron Alberto]] attempts to follow them. {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} is then seen looking over the town. In a later scene, an imprisoned [[Zero]] is seen being visited by [[Newton Graceland]] and receiving a copy of [[Infi]] that survived the [[Megarig]]'s wreck, much to his delight. {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}} is also seen, looking out to a sunrise with a smile. Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, and Arceus are shown in their respective worlds, finally being able to live in peace once again.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket decide to steal some watermelons, only to come across a disguised {{p|Voltorb}} which sends them blasting off. Ash, Dawn and Brock continue their journey through [[Sinnoh]], moving ever closer to their goals and with many more adventures still to come! Their Pokémon journey continues!

==Events==
[[File:Movie Arceus art.png|thumb|Arceus distribution artwork]]
===Pre-order distribution===
Shiny Pichu were distributed to those who pre-ordered their movie tickets in Japan. These Pichu were later made available in GameStop stores in America, as well as over Wi-Fi for international games. These Pichu allow players to obtain the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] when they take the Shiny Pichu to [[Ilex Forest]].

===Movie distribution===
Arceus knowing {{m|Roar of Time}}, {{m|Spacial Rend}}, and {{m|Shadow Force}}, the signature moves of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, respectively, as well as {{m|Judgment}}, its own signature move, were distributed in theaters in Japan and Toys "R" Us stores in America. Most notably, these Arceus allow players to obtain a level 1 Dialga, Palkia, or Giratina at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] when transferred to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime Music Collection}}

==Trivia==
* The events of this movie happen between the episodes ''[[DP135|Beating the Bustle and Hustle]]'' and ''[[DP136|Gateway to Ruin!]]''.
* The movie director and producers went to {{wp|Greece}} in August 2008 to use the country as a basis for the movie's fictitious setting. Among the locations they visited were there {{wp|Acropolis of Athens|Acropolis}}, {{wp|Mycenae}}, {{wp|Delphi}} and {{wp|Metéora}}.
* The movie was confirmed in Japanese cinemas in July 2008 at the end of the credits of its predecessor, ''Giratina and the Sky Warrior'', with a teaser that showed {{mov|Giratina}}, {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} ready to {{pkmn|battle}} over ruins that resembles the [[Spear Pillar]].
* Though it has happened to [[Ash's friends]] before, this is the first time {{Ash}} himself travels through time.
* {{wp|Solar eclipse of July 22, 2009|The longest solar eclipse in the 21st century}} was visible from Japan just days after the premiere of this movie, which uses {{wp|solar eclipse|the astronomical event}} as a herald of Arceus's approach.
* This is the first movie that shows a legendary Pokémon that appeared in two previous Pokémon movies, in this case {{mov|Dialga}} from ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.
** This is also the second movie that shows legendary Pokémon that appeared in a previous movie: {{mov|Palkia}} from ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and {{mov|Giratina}} from ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', as well as {{mov|Dialga}}, who was in both.

* This is the first movie to debut in the US in the same year as it debuted in Japan, with the shortest time between the Japanese premiere and English premiere yet. This makes 2009 the first year when two Pokémon movies debuted in the US.
* Much as was standard in the [[original series]] movies, this movie's English opening is the same as [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles|the corresponding season]], which has not occurred since ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
* This is the third movie in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} do not encounter {{TRT}}.
* The ending theme for the English dub of the movie actually consists of 3 different songs, one for each movie in the Diamond and Pearl movie trilogy: ''[[If We Only Learn]]'', ''[[This is a Beautiful World]]'' and ''[[I'll Always Remember You]]''.
* Ash, Dawn and Brock can be seen wearing their winter clothing briefly during the end credits. This marks the first and only time they have been seen to be wearing it since departing from [[Snowpoint City]].
* Apart from its brief appearances in the prologue and end credits, Giratina only appears in its Altered Forme throughout the movie.
* To date, this is the Pokémon movie with the longest distance between its United States premiere date and its DVD release date. It premiered in the United States on November 20, 2009, and was released on DVD on February 1, 2011, fourteen and a half months later.
* Despite the movie airing in 1080i high-definition in the US, the actual US movie release is only in DVD format which is only in 480p standard-definition.
* In the English language dub of the film, Arceus's line of "Prepare for Judgment!" as it uses its Judgment attack is changed to "Prepare for Justice!". This edit was more than likely done to avoid a religious reference.
* As of this movie, every single Pokémon in Generations I to IV has appeared in either an anime episode or a movie, except for Porygon's evolutions, which wouldn't appear until [[M15|3 years later]].
===Errors===
* When Jessie holds the Jewel of Life in her hand after discovering it in the staff, during their fall, the Jewel of Life is reattached to the staff.
* When [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} are sneaking around on the beams, when they come to the beams over the silver water, one shot shows Piplup edging its way next to the wall, but the next shot shows it on the middle of the beam over the silver water.
* As Arceus was shining in a green color, removing the armor of the Pokémon, an {{p|Electrike}} and {{p|Nosepass}} are seen in the place of {{p|Manectric}} and {{p|Probopass}}, making it look like the latter Pokémon [[devolution|devolved]].
* When Ash and his friends first go back in time, Sheena tells them that they went back to when Damos made his promise to Arceus. The day they went back to however, was when he betrayed Arceus.
* Among the Pokémon attacking Arceus with {{m|Shock Wave}} were {{p|Baltoy}} and {{p|Claydol}}, despite both being unable to [[Anime move errors|legally learn the move]].
* Giratina uses two different colored Will-O-Wisps, one is red and the other is blue.

== Airing ==
"It aired alongside M15." 
Accourding to [[M15]] the US version of the 15th Pkmn film was released. Was this Pikachu short released/shown too? If not, "In Japan it aired alongside M15." should be a proper phrasing as in that case the film did not air alongside M15 in the US (even though nobody might care about inferior US releases anyway). 
Btw, if it wasn't shown: Are there any plans for a US homevideo release of the 15th film with this pikachu short or something? -[[User:Bernd|Bernd]] ([[User talk:Bernd|talk]]) 17:15, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

== Crustle ==

How do we know that that was Cilan's Crustle and not just any Crustle. There were a lot of other wild pokemon in this, after all. [[User:Morgil27|Morgil27]] ([[User talk:Morgil27|talk]]) 04:02, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

As a follow-up, if we assume it is Cilan's Crustle, can't we assume the Piplup is Dawn's and the Bulbasaur is Ash's????[[User:Eeveewithwings123|Eeveewithwings123]] ([[User talk:Eeveewithwings123|talk]]) 17:41, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==

The episode starts with {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Misty}} traveling to a new town via a bridge, with {{TRT}} watching them. Team Rocket plan to have our heroes drop into a cage under the bridge and then lock them in it. However it doesn't go according to plan because the bridge collapses. {{MTR}} [[breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] wall by saying "We usually don't wash out this early in the episode." The bridge collapses and they fall into the river below. The gang arrive at the bridge and notice the gap in the middle, not knowing Team Rocket caused this.

They think of how to get across, with the nearest bridge being 10 miles away. They notice a woman traveling with {{p|Ledyba}}, by flight. They ask her help to get across the river. She introduces herself as [[Arielle]] and says that she can fly them across using her Ledyba, which she controls with a Whistle. She takes them across, one at a time.

She tells them about her job, which is picking apples using her Ledyba to pollinate the apples, commanding the Ledyba to fly up or down or pollinate with the whistle. Brock explains that this is how apples reproduce by pollinating. Ash sends out his {{AP|Heracross}} to help the Ledyba, though it decides to suck maple out of the tree instead. Team Rocket spies on the gang saying that Arielle's control over the Ledyba would be a good present for the boss.

Team Rocket tries to steal the whistle by pretending to be TV Hosts. Team Rocket says their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]] and takes off in their Meowth balloon. [[Jessie]] blows the whistle but the Ledyba do not obey her, because she hasn't trained with them. Jessie sends out her Lickitung and which uses {{m|Supersonic}}. The confused Ledyba won't listen to Arielle. Pikachu, unaffected by the attack uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the balloon, shocking Team Rocket and fires Team Rocket into the air. The Ledyba follow Team Rocket as the blast off, Jessie still in possession of the whistle.

Ash, Pikachu, Brock, Misty and Arielle search for the Ledyba. Brock uses his {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} to find them. Ledyba and Zubat both use supersonic waves and it can therefore spot the Ledyba. However the Zubat finds a group of {{p|Golbat}}. Brock recalls his Zubat and the Golbat leave. Arielle says that Ledyba like the smell of flowers so Ash sends out his Heracross to sniff nicely scented Flowers. Heracross leads them to a tree with Maple on it.

Jessie throws the whistle away and says that it is worthless. Meowth says she is blowing it wrongly so he tries to use it, though he can't even get a sound from it. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to find food. Meowth finally gets a note out which has an effect on Arbok, it starts dancing. [[James]] sees the Ledyba over in the bushes. Jessie suggests capturing them but Meowth tells Arbok to go underground and surround them. Jessie and James don't believe that Arbok listened to Meowth. Arbok appears in front of the Ledyba. Whilst the Ledyba was distracted, Meowth throws a net over them and ties them to rope. The Ledyba fly off with Meowth holding on though Jessie and James grab on to stop them from flying away. The Ledyba stun Team Rocket with {{m|Stun Spore}}. Team Rocket let go and the Ledyba fly away.

Arielle is worried that they won’t listen to her without the whistle. Ash reminds her of who looked after the Ledyba when they were young. Arielle smells the scent that the Ledyba give off when they’re in danger. Ash tells Pikachu to find them. Pikachu shows her an area, with Stun Spore filled air and orange footprints leading to Team Rocket and the Ledyba. They find Team Rocket and James activates a net which engulfs our heroes in it. Jessie tells them to give them Pikachu. Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and James sends out {{TP|James|Victreebel}}.

They attack the gang who struggles to escape. Arielle wonders whether the Ledyba will listen to her with out the whistle. Lickitung uses {{m|Stomp}} on Ash and Misty’s head and Victreebel uses {{m|Tackle}}. Arielle tries anyway and they listen to her, but they are being held back by Arbok, They break free and fly over to Arielle – dragging Arbok with them . Arbok flies into Lickitung and Victreebel and knocks them over. Ash sends {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to get them out by using {{m|Razor Leaf}}. James instructed Victreebel to use the same attack, but Arielle instructs the Ledyba to fly upwards so the Razor Leaf cut the rope instead. Then downwards to dodge the next attack. Jessie tells Lickitung to use Supersonic. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Lickitung before it can use {{m|Supersonic}}, which knocks Team Rocket over. Arielle tells Ledyba to use Tackle on Team Rocket, which sends them hurdling into the sky. Arielle thanks them for the help and all the Ledyba gather around. The gang then heads out for Ash's first [[Johto]] region Gym battle in [[Violet City]].

===Alleged Subliminal Message===
In 2007, a fan posted a video of which during the scene where [[James]] was heard mumbling while at the grip of his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}'s mouth, his dialogue apparently sounded like gibberish. However, when this scene was later on played backwards, the muffled dialogue sounded as if he was saying "{{wp|Leo Burnett}} and [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] are the devil! Leo Burnett!". While it was then unproven whether this was just a coincidence or was done on purpose by [[Eric Stuart]], the then voice actor for {{an|Brock}} and James, a lot of fans have speculated that Eric Stuart may have left this supposed subliminal message to poke fun at Burnett's idea of animation commercialism and at the same time mocking 4Kids Entertainment for upsetting the fans who were unsatisfied with the international edits back when the company was responsible for dubbing the Pokémon anime. All of this was mere speculations at the time. 

In 2011 at an OMGcon, a fan asked Stuart about this quote of which he confirmed that it was indeed intentional and claimed that it was because he was no longer being paid for his short commercials while working for 4Kids. 

=== Errors ===
* In one scene where Jessie is holding the whistle, a line can be seen in the middle of her chest.
* After Team Rocket steals the whistle it disappears while they say their motto and briefly afterwards.
* Arielle says that she uses different whistle notes to direct the Ledyba, but throughout the episode only one note is played.
* When Arielle is telling the Ledyba to climb and descend, when Arielle says climb the Ledyba descend and when she says descend the Ledyba climb.

Hi there, I'm Nintendo Mad, but my real name is Jack, I come from a town in [[wp:Greater London|Greater London]], [[wp:England|England]]. I was born on December 6 1997. My first Pokémon game was [[Pokémon Diamond Version|Diamond]], given to me as a gift, I then went on and corrupted this game by accident shortly after I'd got a [[Shaymin (Pokémon)|Shaymin]]. I have since restarted Diamond, but I have given up, due to the fact I much prefer Platinum and the newer games. I then bought [[Pokémon Platinum]] on release, which is still with me to do this day. After that, I bought [[Pokémon HeartGold|HeartGold]] on release and played it, it is one of my favourites. A few months later, I bought [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] so that I could complete the [[Pokédex]] a little easier. Finally, I bought [[Pokémon Black Version|Black]] on release date. I own a [[DS Lite]] (For Emerald and [[Pal Park|Pal Parking]]), a [[DSi|Nintendo DSi]], and a [[3DS|Nintendo 3DS]].

I use [[wp:Google Chrome|Chrome]] (which sadly doesn't support [[wp:APNG|AniPNG]] D':) and [[wp:Ubuntu (OS)|Ubuntu]], and only use [[wp:Windows XP|Windows]] if forced.

I'll write more when I can think of it :D

''(Side note: I don't know why under the infobox it says "Satoshi" or how to change it, so just ignore that, if anyone knows how to change it, can you either tell me how in the Talk page, or just do it yourself please :D)''

Pokémon Dream World

2011-09-28T12:44:06Z

Nintendo Mad: /* Candle Erasing */ Added picture and changed a few words

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Pokémon Dream World logo.png|thumb|300px|Dream World logo]]
The '''Pokémon Dream World''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンドリームワールド''' ''Pokémon Dream World'') is a special feature of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Operated via the [[Pokémon Global Link]] [http://en.pokemon-gl.com/ website], the Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website like a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

==Access==
Fans may access the Dream World by creating an account at [[Pokémon.com]] for international players, at the [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] website for Japanese players, or at the Pokémon Korean site for Korean players. To have full access to one's account, players must first send a Pokémon to the Dream World by using their [[C-Gear]]'s only Online feature, Game Sync. After doing so, players will have full access to the Global Link site. An account may only have one Pokémon Black and one Pokémon White game with access to it.

When doing certain actions for the first time, players are given a tutorial by [[Fennel]]. They may then explore the rest of the Dream World on their own. With the reopening of the Global Link site after the release of international versions of Black and White, players who had Japanese accounts prior to the reopening will be given tutorials once again. Players are also given the tutorial again when using a computer that they have not used for visiting the Dream World before.

On the player's first visit to the Dream World, they will receive five of one of the {{cat|damage-reducing berries}} from Fennel; this is the only way, besides Share Shelves, to obtain these Berries. Repeating the tutorial does not re-award these Berries.

Due to the amount of people accessing the site at one time, players are given only one hour to access the Dream World every 24 hours. However, the website is {{DL|Global Link|Routine maintenance|occasionally under maintenance}}, prohibiting access.

===Continuing===
If a player accesses the Dream World after 24 hours without having previously woken up their Pokémon on the Global Link website, the player is put into a position left over from the last time he or she accessed the Dream World. If a Pokémon was picked from the Tree of Dreams, the player is not allowed to access any of the island's areas, as they have a Pokémon still ready to be sent to the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]. Whatever water that wasn't used in the watering can for Berries is preserved and is not renewed until a Pokémon is woken up.

Any point accumulation during these continued games counts toward the total of {{DL|Pokémon Dream World|Dream Points}} that would lead to a Pokémon's level-up once awoken via the C-Gear, including the points gained by logging into the Global Link once a day.

==Features==
===Home===
[[File:Dream Castle.png|thumb|300px|Outside the home]]
Players are given a home they can customize in the Dream World. With the use of certain [[Berries]], they may purchase [[Décor]] to decorate the rooms available in the house. The house itself may be remodeled for a certain amount of Berries. Each day, players may also unlock one of up to five special pieces of Décor by talking to Loblolly in [[Nacrene City]].

The house itself contains the Treasure Chest, where players may see the [[item]]s they have in the Dream World. The Treasure Chest also allows items to be sent to Pokémon Black or White via the [[Entralink]]. The Friend Board is available for players to see which Pokémon they are going to send back to Pokémon Black or White, as well as showing the ones they have sent before.

At the doorstep is the Footprint Mat, which shows the Pokémon that have visited the player's home. Also, when there is a pending Dream Pal request for the player, the Footprint Mat will glow.

===Garden===
[[File:DW Garden Diglett.png|300px|thumb|Diglett digging another row]]
Unlike most games since {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, when the mechanic was introduced, Black and White do not allow players to plant Berries due to the lack of [[loamy soil]] in [[Unova]]. Instead, players may plant Berries in the Dream World in the garden found in the area to the left of their home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV.

The Berry patches require watering, or they will dry out. A player can water others' Berries up to 20 times per trip, as of the April 2011 update. Prior to this update, there was no limit. There is no limit on watering the player's own Berries.

Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. {{p|Diglett}} will dig additional rows when the player obtains a certain number of Dream Points. Currently, players can have up to five rows.

|}{{-}}

===Share Shelf===
To the right of the player's home is the Share Shelf, a stand where items may be placed. Other players can swap their own items for items placed on a Share Shelf. A player will not be able to trade for an item that they already have or that they traded to the shelf, as of the April 2011 update.

===Island of Dreams===
[[File:DW Tree of Dreams.png|thumb|300px|The Tree of Dreams]]
While players may access the other features of the Dream World, even when they do not have a Pokémon in the Dream World, they cannot access the Island of Dreams unless they have a Pokémon in the Dream World. The island has several areas players may explore, find items and befriend Pokémon. More areas are unlocked as players obtain Dream Points. If the player has access to more than one area, they are sent to a random area every time they go to the island. If players obtain the necessary amount of points to unlock an area, they can access the area even without logging out of Dream World or Global Link.

After exploring an area, players will go to the Tree of Dreams, where they may choose to leave a Berry in the tree and make a wish to choose one of their befriended Pokémon to send to the Entralink. If they do, they may not revisit the Island of Dreams until the next trip. However, if they do not choose to make a wish and befriend a Pokémon, they have the choice of visiting the island again to look for more Pokémon and items. Upon entering the Island of Dreams a certain number of times, players will start to find nothing on the island. If there are fifty Pokémon ready to be taken back to the game, the Island cannot be visited. In the Japanese version there originally was a maximum limit of 50 Pokémon to be transferred at all; however, this was removed in 2010.

Berries and other items are found throughout the Dream Island. They may either be sent to the player's games, be traded to other players or be used to buy Décor.

====Mini-games====
After finding a Pokémon, players are given an option to participate in mini-games in order to befriend them. The type of game depends on the Pokémon species encountered. Getting certain amounts of points in a game allows players to obtain Pokémon with moves not normally obtained by leveling up.

''<Pokémon> seems to be searching for a hidden Pokémon.''
*Time limit: One minute, thirty seconds
*Score achieved:
:*Remaining time
:*The Pokémon's lost item
In '''Pokémon Seek''' (Japanese: '''まいごさがし''' ''Seek the Lost Child''), players must find a certain Pokémon within the time limit by navigating through the map. They may see a bush, cloud, rock, or many other objects rustling, or they may click the objects themselves. Up to two different places per area of the map are clickable. If a hiding place rustles, clicking on it will reveal a Pokémon hiding there. Upon entering an area, rustling can happen either immediately or after a second passes if a Pokémon is present, and, most often than not, it is not the Pokémon sought after. When encountering the wrong Pokémon, the timer temporarily pauses as to not penalize the player.

Players may click "Listen carefully" to hear if the Pokémon sought after is within a three block radius from the player; the timer does not pause when players choose to use it. Players may also find an item lost by the Pokémon by clicking on some sparkles—an item that will be given to the Pokémon, allowing players to gain 5,000 bonus points. The Pokémon to be found is always within a two block radius to the item. The game automatically ends when the Pokémon is found.

The following are the Pokémon that players may be asked to find in this game: {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Budew}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Luvdisc}}, {{p|Finneon}}, {{p|Chinchou}}, {{p|Wooper}}, {{p|Horsea}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Drifloon}}, {{p|Wingull}}, {{p|Swablu}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Starly}}, and {{p|Taillow}}

The following are the possible berries of a lost Pokémon that may be found: [[Sitrus Berry]], [[Figy Berry]], [[Wiki Berry]], [[Aguav Berry]], and [[Iapapa Berry]]

=====Ice Cream Scoop=====
{{split|{{red link|Ice Cream Scoop}}|section}}
[[File:DW Ice Cream Scoop.png|thumb|300px|Ice Cream Scoop]]
''<Pokémon> looks hungry.''
*Time limit: One minute, thirty seconds
*Total achieved:
:*Height
:*Flavors
:*Bite-size scoops
In '''Ice Cream Scoop''' (Japanese: '''アイスクリームづくり''' ''Ice Cream Making''), players must choose a Berry in their treasure chests to use in the game, each providing three different kinds of ice cream to utilize. The type of ice creams available will depend on the Berry. Certain Berries will bring ice cream that can be scooped more easily or stickier ice cream; the opposite is also true. Players must stack ice cream scoops on top of each other and at least reach the minimal goal of twenty inches to win the game.

The score will be higher if the player balances three kinds of ice cream and/or if bite-size scoops are made, as well as if their stack is tall. The size of bite-size scoops varies every time the game is played, depending on the Pokémon. However, if a scoop does not stick, there poses the possibility that part of the stack might collapse if the falling scoop hits and dislodges any of the scoops that may be below it. A {{p|Combee}} oversees the player's progress. If a scoop falls, it will become irate. If a bite-size scoop sticks, the Combee will give off hearts. Every twenty inches that is reached, Combee will mark it off with a line.

When playing in a language other than English, the units used are {{wp|centimetre}}s rather than {{wp|inch}}es; however, they are considered equal for the purposes of the minigame.

=====Sky Race=====
{{split|{{red link|Sky Race}}|section}}
[[File:DW Sky Race.png|thumb|300px|Sky Race]]
''Looks like <Pokémon> wants you to fly!''
*Time limit: Two minutes
*Total achieved:
:*Score
:*Time bonus
:*Speed-up bonus
In the '''Sky Race''' (Japanese: '''ひこうレース''' ''Flying Race''), players must guide {{p|Pelipper}} using hand flags—the player's cursor—to finish a 1,000 meter race. The space bar, on the other hand, as well as a button on the screen, allows players to pause the game. The game ends when Pelipper reaches the goal. The first 140 meters (860 m) are the same at the start of every race. After that, various sections are randomly spliced together to make up the course. Each section change is denoted by an abnormally empty patch of sky, and the same section can be in one race multiple times. Each 200 meters reached are announced by a flag in the lower left-hand corner of the screen.

There are certain things that will help finish the race sooner or even later. Naturally, Pelipper will climb in speed to three-fifths the max of the speed gauge (the blue-green-yellow sections) without assistance. Collecting Boost Energy, in the form of a bubble with a water drop (symbolizing the {{type2|Water}}), will earn points. Hitting three Boost Energy will make Pelipper fly faster (a speed-up). Clouds, however, will reduce Pelipper's max speed, which must be regained through Boost Energy if not below half the maximum speed. Delay Energy, in the form of a bubble with a lightning bolt (symbolizing the {{t|Electric|type}} Pelipper is weakest to), will slow down or stop Pelipper. This will also make Pelipper lose the Boost Energy it has earned.

For every Boost Energy collected, the player is awarded 300 points. For every speed-up, the player is awarded an additional 1000 points on top of the 300. Once maximum speed is achieved, the points become 450 for each Boost Energy, and once collecting three Boost Energy does not result in a speed-up, the point bonus become 1500. If the speed falls by cloud or Delay Energy even a little, the bonus points return to default.

=====Wailord's Water Spout=====
{{split|{{red link|Wailord's Water Spout}}|section}}
[[File:DW Wailord Water Spout.png|thumb|300px|Wailord's Water Spout]]
''<Pokémon> seems interested in playing with Wailord.''
*Time limit: One minute, thirty seconds
*Total score achieved:
:*Score
:*Ball counter
:*Combo bonus
:*Perfect clear bonus
:*Number of balls (N balls × 1.N)

In '''Wailord's Water Spout''' (Japanese: '''ホエルオーの背中で遊ぶ''' ''Playing on {{tt|Whaloh|Wailord}}'s Back''), players must guide {{p|Wailord}} and its spout to make four Pokémon—{{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Buizel}}—launch into the air and hit balls that match the Pokémon's color scheme to make the balls open. The player begins with only one Pokémon. As time goes on, more join in the game, until all four are in play. At five seconds in (1:25), the second Pokémon joins. The third joins at thirty seconds in (1:00) and the fourth joins after a minute has passed (0:30).

To win, players must open at least fifteen balls. When a ball is hit (regardless if it opens or not), lamps to the right side of the screen light up and 300 ×N points are awarded, and when any five light up, the score multiplier increases (the max is ×10). The multiplier goes back to the base value (×1) when a Pokémon falls into the water. When five of a specific row light up, it counts as one ball counter and the row resets.

If the player reaches the end of the game with none of the Pokémon falling into the water, they receive a 10,000 point bonus.

=====Drink Carrying=====
{{split|{{red link|Drink Carrying}}|section}}
[[File:DW Drink Carrying.png|thumb|300px|Drink Carrying]]
''It looks like <Pokémon> is thirsty.''
*Time limit: One minute, thirty seconds

(Japanese: '''ドリンクはこび''' ''Drink Carrying'') is a special mini-game only available in the Pokémon Café Forest. Players must ring a bell to guide a {{p|Foongus}} to serve drinks to various Pokémon. They receive more points if they serve the correctly-colored drinks, or the drinks are in a Special Cup. If the player tries to move the Foongus too fast, however, it will sweat and may spill or drop drinks. The Foongus can carry up to three drinks at once; however, more drinks increase the chance of dropping them.

To win, players must serve at least four drinks. For every drink given to a Pokémon, a certain icon will be given, with each icon representing a certain amount of points. The icons are given priority in reverse order as they are listed. For example, a spilled Special Cup will yield a music note instead of a star while a wrong spilled drink will give a question mark.

=====Treasure Box Opening=====
{{split|{{redlink|Treasure Box Opening}}|section}}
[[File:DW M14 Game.png|thumb|300px|Treasure Box Opening]]
''Victini seems interested in a treasure box.'' 

(Japanese: '''宝箱開け''' ''Treasure Box Opening'') is a game that is only available by accessing an area where {{p|Victini}} awaits on the Island of Dreams from the Pokémon Movie home. The area can only be accessed by tucking in the {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} obtained from distributions for the promotion of the [[M14|fourteenth movie]]. Players must destroy a barrier preventing Victini from accessing its favorite food, macaroons, in a chest. To do so, players must guide Victini by moving an orb of light and the line it is slinged to.

Throughout the area is type energy-type energy with flame patterns if Reshiram was the Pokémon tucked in, or lightning patterns if Zekrom was the Pokémon tucked in. Each time players obtain three type energy, Reshiram or Zekrom will destroy part of the barrier using a {{t|Fire}}- or {{type|Electric}} attack, with each attack increasing in power. By obtaining twelve type energy, the legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon will use a move to finish off the barrier, allowing Victini to claim its treasure. However, some of the type energy are surrounded by or inside of rocks. By eating the macaroons floating around, Victini can destroy rocks, earn points, and at the same time, obtain a type energy. After completing the game, Victini will disappear. Players may play again by going back to the same area.

By completing the game once, a promotion in Global Link is unlocked—this promotion allows players to obtain a C-Gear skin featuring the [[legendary Pokémon]] that was tucked in. Both can be unlocked, by using both Zekrom and Reshiram, once a day on different days.

=====Candle Erasing=====
{{split|{{redlink|Candle Erasing}}|section}}
[[File:Spooky Manor Candle Erasing.png|thumb|300px|The Candle Erasing minigame]]
(Japanese: '''ろうそく消し''' ''Candle Erasing'') is a new minigame, which made it's debut on September 28 2011. It is played in the sixth area of the Island of Dreams, the Spooky Manor.

===Abilities===
[[File:DW Pokémon Send.png|thumb|300px|A female {{p|Yanma}} with {{a|Frisk}}, its Hidden Ability]]
:''For a list of Pokémon and their Hidden Abilities, please see [[List of Pokémon by ability]]''
Many Pokémon that are found in the Island of Dreams are not found in the [[Unova]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. Almost all Pokémon are given Hidden Abilities that their species cannot have by normal means. Some Pokémon do not have Hidden Abilities because they are defined by their ability, such as {{p|Slaking}}, {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Castform}}, {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, {{p|Arceus}}, and many Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}}; however, some of these Pokémon may still be encountered here.

====Breeding mechanics====
When female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities are {{pkmn|breeding|bred}} with a male Pokémon from a compatible [[egg group]], there is a 60% chance that the offspring will inherit the mother's Hidden Ability; for example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}} and would evolve into a Darmanitan with {{a|Zen Mode}} instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}. Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, or when breeding with {{p|Ditto}}.

===Dream Pals===
A player can become Dream Pals with another player by visiting their house and sending a Dream Pal request. The other player's footprint mat will then glow until the request is accepted, deleted or expires. If the other player accepts, the two players become Dream Pals, and a rainbow bridge will link the two players' homes on their Dream Pal maps. Dream Pal requests last only a week before they are automatically deleted. There is a limit of {{tt|20|10 prior to the July 2011 update}} Dream Pals (including pending Dream Pal requests) per player.

When visiting another player's house, it is possible to view their Dream Pal map, and go directly to the houses of other Dream Pals of that player. This allows the creation of large networks of players.

In addition, on the player's Dream Pal map, a random player's house will appear in the bottom right-hand corner, as long as the privacy settings are set to "everyone". This player is randomly selected every time the player opens the Dream Pal map.

Prior to the April 2011 update, Dream Pals were only those that players had added to their Pal Pads.

===Dream Points===
Dream Points are earned by doing certain actions in the Dream World. Similar to earning {{OBP|Watt|currency}}s in the [[Pokéwalker]], gaining Dream Points allows players to unlock more areas on the Island of Dreams. As of December 21, 2010, all Dream Point requirements were halved permanently.

Prior to the April 2011 update, the following mechanics were used in gaining points:

{| align="center" style="background: #ef52b2; {{roundy}} border: 3px solid #c6007b"
|- align="center" style="background:#ffc0cb"

|- style="background: #FFFFFF;"
| style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | Sending a new Pokémon to the Entree Forest
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | 50 Points
|}{{-}}

The more Dream Points that are accumulated in a single play session, the happier the dreaming Pokémon will become. This is reflected in the icons which appear above the Pokémon's head when it is moused over.

{| align="center" style="background: #ef52b2; {{roundy}} border: 3px solid #c6007b"

|- style="background: #FFFFFF;"
! style="{{roundybl|5px}}" | [[File:DW Heart Status.png]]
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | 500+ Points
|}{{-}}

==Waking up==
Right before saving the game and finishing a session, players are given the option to make real the Pokémon friends they have met and any items they have collected. These items will become available immediately after waking a Pokémon up using the {{DL|C-Gear|Game Sync}} function. Anything materialized from the Dream World into a copy of Pokémon Black or White can be found within the [[Entralink]]. Waking Pokémon also resets mechanics such as the watering can being refilled.

If the player earns 500 points between tucking the Pokémon in and waking it up, the Pokémon's level increases unless the Pokémon is already at level 100.

Waking up also initiates any Pokémon Black or White customizations made on the {{pkmn|Global Link}} website.

If the player selects the choice to exit the Dream World and keep the Pokémon asleep, then does not (before the hour is over) or cannot (because the hour is over) reenter the game, the option to wake the player's Pokémon is available on the main page of the Global Link website. Whatever was ready to be ported into the player's Pokémon Black or White version (Pokémon, items, customizations) will be carried over through the Game Sync.

Hi there, I'm Nintendo Mad, but my real name is Jack, I come from a town in [[wp:Greater London|Greater London]], [[wp:England|England]]. I was born on December 6 1997. My first Pokémon game was [[Pokémon Diamond Version|Diamond]], given to me as a gift, I then went on and corrupted this game by accident shortly after I'd got a [[Shaymin (Pokémon)|Shaymin]]. I have since restarted Diamond, but I have given up, due to the fact I much prefer Platinum and the newer games. I then bought [[Pokémon Platinum]] on release, which is still with me to do this day. After that, I bought [[Pokémon HeartGold|HeartGold]] on release and played it, it is one of my favourites. A few months later, I bought [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] so that I could complete the [[Pokédex]] a little easier. Finally, I bought [[Pokémon Black Version|Black]] on release date. I own a [[DS Lite]] (For Emerald and [[Pal Park|Pal Parking]]), a [[DSi|Nintendo DSi]], and a [[3DS|Nintendo 3DS]].

I use [[wp:Google Chrome|Chrome]] (which sadly doesn't support [[wp:APNG|AniPNG]] D':) and [[wp:Ubuntu (OS)|Ubuntu]], and only use [[wp:Windows XP|Windows]] if forced.

I'll write more when I can think of it :D

''(Side note: I don't know why under the infobox it says "Satoshi" or how to change it, so just ignore that, if anyone knows how to change it, can you either tell me how in the Talk page, or just do it yourself please :D)''

It is also available over the internet as streaming television on their website.

As its own channel it has shown every dubbed episode of the Pokémon anime from [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]] to the first fourteen episodes of the [[Pokémon: Black & White]] series, as well as simulcasting episodes shown on [[ITV1]]. They have also shown all four [[Diamond & Pearl series]] [[movies]], as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]].

As of August 2011, it is transmitting episodes of [[Pokémon DP Galactic Battles]] in the {{wp|4:3}} format in early morning programming slots on weekdays, and episodes of [[Pokémon: Black and White]] in late weekend morning programming slots. Episodes that are shown on CITV are usually repeated several months later on [[Disney XD]].

}}

The [[Pokémon]] franchise first reached the '''{{wp|United Kingdom}}''' in 1999 with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==Pokémon video games==
All Pokémon games that have been released in the United States have also been released in the United Kingdom except [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], with the addition of the Europe and Japan-exclusive [[Pokémon Tetris]]. The UK release dates tend to be some time after the American release dates, with the exception of [[Pokémon Dash]], [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and [[Pokémon Black and White]], which were released in the UK before the US.

Games that are released in the United Kingdom are inconsistent with {{wp|American and British English spelling differences|British English spelling}}. For example, spelling variations such as ''color'' and ''center'' are not changed to ''colour'' and ''centre'' for the UK releases.

[[Event Pokémon]] have been released in the UK sporadically. The recent introduction of Wi-Fi events has allowed UK players access to many previously unavailable event Pokémon. Prior to this, very few event Pokémon were made available to UK players, and when events at malls and other stores were held, many parts of the country were overlooked.

Pokémon Black and White are currently being represented in the United Kingdom by the {{wp|the X Factor (UK)|X Factor}} finalists {{wp|One Direction}}, a boy band.<ref>[http://www.ttkn.com/arts-entertainment/x-factor-stars-one-direction-revealed-as-ambassadors-for-pokemon-black-version-and-pokemon-white-version-10077.html X Factor star's One Direction revealed as ambassadors for Pokemon Black Version and Pokémon White Version]</ref> The group is promoting the latest Pokémon games through television commercials and concerts, and have been life-long Pokémon fans. They are one of a number of acts representing Nintendo as ambassadors in the United Kingdom, which has also include {{wp|Jedward}}, {{wp|JLS}} and {{wp|The Saturdays}}.

==Pokémon anime==
[[File:CITV.png‎|thumb|right|150px|CITV's current logo]]
The anime currently airs on {{wp|CITV}} and has previously aired on {{wp|Sky One}}.

==Pokémon merchandise==
The United Kingdom receives most of the same [[Pokémon merchandise]] that is available in the United States, such as plush toys which have been released in major department chains and given away in some fast food restaurants. Due to Pokémon's decline in popularity, merchandise can be difficult to find in UK stores but can still be purchased online.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game===
The [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], although declining in popularity, is still being sold throughout the UK.

When first released, the game was very popular among UK children. Like in many other countries, the TCG was eventually banned in most schools, because of "classroom distraction". Conflict between students regarding Trading Cards also resulted in the cards being banned from some schools. Its popularity faded out as it was replaced by other popular crazes such as {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|Yu-Gi-Oh! cards}}.

== Fateful Encounter flags ==

Has anyone checked if the Transfer Machine is necessary, or merely convenient, for encounters? Does it work at all with the PokeShifter? [[User:PLA|PLA]] 08:54, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:The Crown Beasts and Celebi can be transfered via PokéTransfer as well, with the Relocator being for mere convenience. However, the Lock Capsule item, which can be transferred via Relocator, can not be transferred via PokéTransfer, as the PokéTransfer can only transfer Pokémon.--'''[[User:Trickyb|Tricky]][[User Talk:Trickyb|B]] 01:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
:: Ah, excellent. Thank you. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 09:23, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
The Poke transfer can still trigger the events but for some reason the article said it couldn't, but I went ahead and fixed it. [[User:Hyper Shadow|Hyper Shadow]] 16:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== Transfer Machine's English Name ==

So I just downloaded Celebi from GameStop, and I saw the guide to what happens when you transfer Celebi over to Black and White via Transfer Machine. However, it confirmed its English name as the Relocator. --'''[[User:Trickyb|Tricky]][[User Talk:Trickyb|B]] 01:31, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== Berries ==

The article says that the event berries that came with the shiny gerbils and Celebi must be removed. But must they? I heard rumors that they are allowed to hold the berries they came with. I've never been able to get a definite, straight answer for this, and if this rumor is true, such information would be invaluable within the article. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 23:21, 24 February 2011 (UTC)
:Well, I'm not 100% sure on this one, but I highly doubt that you can transfer items other than the Lock Capsule, as to prevent Generation IV items not in Black and White's data from getting into the game. --'''[[User:Trickyb|Tricky]][[User Talk:Trickyb|B]] 01:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
::I know that ordinary hold items aren't allowed, the rumor I heard specificially refers to the berries that they came with. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:18, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 02:35, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trade and Activate ==

Quick question: If I have the beasts and I don't activate the event on that save file, will the event still be triggered if I trade them to a different game?

Also, I heard somewhere in the grapevine that GenerationV events are rigged for one-time flags. Is that true?

[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 04:00, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

::Yes, I've confirmed this myself. And yes, each beast/Celebi can only activate its event once, although if you have a full set of beasts you can use each one seperately on three different games, since you only need one to trigger the Zoroark event. [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 04:45, 4 June 2011 (UTC)
::: If it helps, the legendary beasts I didn't use (For example, if I used an Entei, a Suicune would be an example) still have a tag in their description that says "Try taking it to Lostlorn Forest" which I presume means it can still activate the event, I expect this is the same with Celebis. --[[User:Nintendo Mad|Nintendo Mad]] 16:40, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

This is the first time Ash has ever taken out a Pokemon while being trapped in a net. Other times, all three characters wait for things to resolve and be saved from the net by their Pokemon.

==Eric Stuart stuff again==
Eric Stuart's subliminal message ''is'' confirmed, and many people, including myself, have tried reversing the gibberish personally. Eric indeed says "Leo Burnett and 4Kids are the devil! Leo Burnett-" only to be stopped by Victribel's screams. I believe this should be added to the article because it ''is'' confirmed, and why do you say it's not notable? Come on, Brock and James guy trying to mock 4Kids for no apparent reason, and then couple of years later getting[[Pokémon USA recasting controversy#Eric Stuart | very angry when PUSA took over]] seems pretty notable.

:::I can reserve just about any line, and make The King wonder why there's no money in the fridge for instance. Point is, you're always going to get something different when someone reverses the lines, and it's completely coincidental that this happens to sound like that.

To say that it isn't confirmed and then to not listen is kind of backwards.

Nintendo Mad: /* Eric Stuart stuff again */

Relocator

2011-04-15T15:22:51Z

Nintendo Mad: /* External links */

The '''Relocator''' (Japanese: '''てんそうマシン''' ''Transfer Machine'') is a feature available in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

The Relocator is used to transfer any of the four Pokémon distributed to commemorate the [[M13|thirteenth Pokémon movie]]—{{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Celebi}} and the Shiny [[legendary beasts]], {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Raikou}}, {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Entei}} and {{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Suicune}}. The machine allows players to transfer over these Pokémon before they can access the [[Poké Transfer]], which is only available after first beating the game, allowing players to obtain {{p|Zorua}} or {{p|Zoroark}} at an earlier time.

The Relocator is unlocked the same way as the [[Mystery Gift]] feature is unlocked in previous [[generation]]s—by inputting certain phrases. In this case, the phrases are used when talking to a scientist in [[Castelia City]], which can be done as soon as players arrive in the city for the first time. After unlocking the Relocator, it may be accessed in the same screen as the options for Continue and New Game. The scientist is located on 11F of the only building on the west side of the road connecting Castelia's fountain area with the gate to {{rt|4|Unova}}.

When choosing the Relocator option, players encounter screens and options similar to when transferring a Pokémon over via Poké Transfer. Because of this, transferring requires two [[Nintendo DS]] consoles (of any type, may they be varying) and [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}} games of the same region, meaning a Japanese Black or White game may not transfer with, for example, an American {{game|Platinum}} game. In addition, players are also prohibited from sending over Pokémon that know [[HM]] moves or that are holding items. This means that the [[Berries]] held by the event Pokémon must be removed. Lastly, the Pokémon must be transferred using this method to activate their respective events; the Poké Transfer will not work.

The machine allows players to transfer over these Pokémon before they can access the [[Poké Transfer]], which is only available after first beating the game, allowing players to obtain {{p|Zorua}} or {{p|Zoroark}} at an earlier time.

The Relocator is unlocked the same way as the [[Mystery Gift]] feature is unlocked in previous [[generation]]s—by inputting certain phrases. In this case, the phrases are used when talking to a scientist in [[Castelia City]], which can be done as soon as players arrive in the city for the first time. After unlocking the Relocator, it may be accessed in the same screen as the options for Continue and New Game. The scientist is located on 11F of the only building on the west side of the road connecting Castelia's fountain area with the gate to {{rt|4|Unova}}.

When choosing the Relocator option, players encounter screens and options similar to when transferring a Pokémon over via Poké Transfer. Because of this, transferring requires two [[Nintendo DS]] consoles (of any type, may they be varying) and [[Generation IV]] and {{gen|V}} games of the same region, meaning a Japanese Black or White game may not transfer with, for example, an American {{game|Platinum}} game. In addition, players are also prohibited from sending over Pokémon that know [[HM]] moves or that are holding items. This means that the [[Berries]] held by the event Pokémon must be removed. Lastly, the Pokémon must be transferred using this method to activate their respective events; the Poké Transfer will not work.

'''Darkrai''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダークライ''' ''Darkrai'') is a {{type2|Dark}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It was first officially revealed in February of 2007.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Darkrai is a black, shadow-like creature. It has a small head with a white fog-like ghostly substance billowing from its head covering one of its bright blue eyes, and also has a red spiky growth around its neck. It has skinny arms and long black tatters hanging from its shoulders, similar to the tail of {{p|Raichu}}. It has the slight appearance of an hourglass figure and appears to be wearing an old, ripped cloak. It normally doesn't have any sort of legs, but it is able to extend stilt-like appendages in their place. In self-defense, Darkrai also appears capable of retracting its head and white "plume" into the pit atop its torso fringed by the aforementioned red growth.

====Gender differences====
Darkrai is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Darkrai is notable for its ability to {{m|Nightmare|cause nightmares and trap people in them}}. It can become a shadow to move quickly, but it is still susceptible to damage in this state. It is also capable of human speech. In [[The Rise of Darkrai]], it was shown his power rivaled of that of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

Darkrai is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Dark Void}}.
 

===Behavior===
This Pokémon "inhabits" people's dreams and causes them to have unending terrible nightmares. In Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it is stated that the only way a person can wake from one of these nightmares is to be exposed to the [[Lunar Wing]] of {{p|Cresselia}}. Contrary to popular belief, this "unleashing of nightmares" is in fact a defense mechanism, rather than something of malicious intent.

In the [[The Rise of Darkrai|10th movie]], Darkrai tried to protect [[Alamos Town]] from being destroyed by {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} and sacrificed itself in the process, although by the end of the movie it was revived. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], however, portrays a Darkrai with a much more evil character, who wants a world enshrouded in darkness, going to the edge of almost destroying time and space to accomplish that. However, after it is recruited, it shows surprising loyalty, even going as far as to say that it will never leave the player, no matter the danger. This is mainly due to the fact that Darkrai lost its memory when it was attacked by {{p|Palkia}} while trying to escape through a dimensional hole. It is worth noting that this Darkrai's personality after being attacked by Palkia is similar to the original Darkrai, who was very loyal to those it cared about.

As seen in its [[DP104|first appearance in an episode]], Darkrai do not only cause nightmares. They are also attracted to them. They also go around objects they are attracted to several times, as seen in the mentioned episode and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

===Habitat===
Whilst Darkrai isn't nesting in the realm of human dreams, it lingers around a lost island called [[Newmoon Island]], which can only be reached by using a [[Member Card]] in [[Canalave City]] at the Harbor Inn above the [[Pokémon Center]].

After the battle with Darkrai on Newmoon Island in {{v2|Platinum}}, the following text appears on screen:

"''...A voice called out from somewhere...''

''???: DARKRAI... Your power is strong. Though you don't will it, you make people and Pokémon around you see terrible nightmares... That is why you came here... Newmoon Island... There is no one but you here... There is none that can be drawn into your nightmare... If anyone were to fall into a nightmare, the [[Fullmoon Island]] is close by... ... ...''"

This reveals that Darkrai chooses to inhabit Newmoon Island due to its immense, uncontrollable power, as well as because of the island's closeness to Fullmoon Island, the home of [[Cresselia]], who is capable of healing those inflicted by Darkrai's nightmares. Though it is never revealed whose voice this was, it is possible that it was the effect of Cresselia's psychic powers. It also is speculated to be the voice of {{p|Arceus}}. The fact that Darkrai choses to protect others from its power is similar to {{p|Lugia}} and how it resides at the bottom of the sea in deep slumber in order to not cause unintended damage.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Darkrai possibly feeds off of dreams, characterized by its association with never-ending nightmares and the ability to learn the move {{m|Dream Eater}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Darkrai anime.jpg|thumb|right|210px|Darkrai in the anime]]
[[Image:Darkrai movie10.png|thumb|left|273px|Darkrai's first appearance, in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'']]
{{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} co-starred in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the protagonists, taking the task of ceasing the fighting between {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} upon itself.

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

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP104|Darkrai|Dawn's Pokédex|Darkrai, the Pitch-Black Pokémon. Legend has it that on a moonless night, Darkrai will lure people to sleep and unleash nightmares upon them.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
Darkrai appeared in the manga adaptation of ''{{ma|The Rise of Darkrai}}''. In this canon, Darkrai is portrayed as a good character, unlike its appearance in the [[DP104|anime]]. This is more in line with the events of the [[The Rise of Darkrai|film]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Darkrai was rumored to be featured as one of the Poké Ball Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] demo at Whobby 2008. However, it was later confirmed to not be in the final version, appearing as a [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#Pokémon Trophies|trophy]] instead.

====Trophy Information====
''A Pitch-Black Pokémon. It becomes active on nights of the new moon. This legendary Pokémon has the power to lull people to sleep and fill their heads with dreams. Proverbs say that Darkrai will make people have terrifying dreams on moonless nights. A {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, Darkrai uses the {{m|Dark Void}} [[move]], along with {{m|Embargo}}, which stops foes from using held items.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} is revealed to be the main antagonist of the game in the post-game story. He wants to cover the world in darkness, and was behind the collapse of the Temporal Tower in the main storyline of the game. His interference is also the reason the player was separated from {{p|Grovyle}} and turned into a Pokémon. In the post-game story, he turns his attention to distorting the fabric of space to cover the world in darkness.

==Trivia==
* Darkrai is the only pure {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon from [[Generation IV]] and currently the only Dark-type legendary.
* Darkrai and {{P|Weavile}} are the fastest Dark-types, both having a base Speed of 125.
** Darkrai also has the highest Special Attack of any Dark-type, with a base stat of 135.
* Although it is clearly depicted as levitating in the anime and in the games, Darkrai does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}} and thus remains susceptible to Ground-type moves.
* Darkrai is the only [[legendary Pokémon]] and the only {{type|Dark}} that can naturally learn {{m|Nightmare}}.
* While in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] Darkrai is portrayed as a hero; in the main games, it's the only Pokémon truly portrayed as evil, in a sense, especially in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] (though the {{m|nightmare}}-inducing effects are merely a self-defense mechanism, as it was in [[The Rise of Darkrai]] and in Platinum's Pokédex entry).
** Darkrai has similarities with {{p|Dusknoir}}. Both are villains in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], but are portrayed as misunderstood heroes in their debut appearances.
***Also, both Dusknoir and Darkrai are used by [[Blake Hall]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Darkrai has two different portrait pictures in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
* The boy of the sailor who owns the boat that normally goes to [[Iron Island]] says ''"<sc>Dar... Dark...</sc> Is watching me..."'' It is assumed that he is talking about Darkrai, as it is known to give its victims horrific nightmares.
** If Darkrai ''was'' the cause of the sailor's son's nightmares, it can be assumed Darkrai is aware that the player cured the boy using {{p|Cresselia}}'s [[Lunar Wing]]: When the player takes the [[Member Card]] to the Harbor Inn, the innkeeper (presumably an illusion created by Darkrai) states that he has been waiting for the player's arrival.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Darkrai is referred to as male, despite being genderless in the main series.
* It is interesting to note that Darkrai was able to transform into its supposed opposite, Cresselia, in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness.
* In the early Japanese versions of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Darkrai can be caught with the [[surf glitch]]. However, this glitch was fixed in other language versions. [[Tweaking|Another glitch]] has been discovered that allows the players to reach Darkrai.
**This has been remedied in {{game|Platinum}}, however, as Darkrai itself will not appear on the island without the event ticket.
* Darkrai is one of the few Pokémon that can {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} in the anime.
===Origin===
Resembling a {{wp|shadow}}, Darkrai's appearance suggests it is based on the concept of {{wp|nightmares}}. It may have been inspired by Arabic myths about {{wp|genie}}s (or djinn) and even by the {{wp|Boogie Man}}. Darkrai is also based on {{wp|Manananggal}} also known as "The Self Segmenter", who according to Filipino beliefs, is a monster who cuts his/her own upper torso off and flies only at night to eat and suck sleeping human flesh and bloods, while the lower severed torso is left standing.
====Name origin====
Darkrai's name is a combination of the word ''dark'' and 暗い ''kurai'', the Japanese word for "dark".
