== Galarian Corsola & Cursola ==

Like the description, if the regional variants of the Pokemons that will be imported to Winds & Waves shown in the Extrapolated forms section, shouldn't it evolution be considered as well? [[User:AntiHero1989|AntiHero1989]] ([[User talk:AntiHero1989|talk]]) 05:23, 28 February 2026 (UTC)

== Gyarados cloud ==

The article mentions the Gyarados shaped cloud but doesn't mention that it is very much not confirmed to be a Gyarados, it is also theorized by many to be entirely unrelated to Gya and moreso linked to the regional legendaries.
Granted Magikarp has been in literally every single mainline game so its absence is super unlikely. [[User:RaZZeR9351|RaZZeR9351]] ([[User talk:RaZZeR9351|talk]]) 10:29, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
:Or it could be literally nothing, or something entirely unexpected like the obscured Poké Pelago on the Alola map. Personally it reminds me of the storm clouds from roaming with Lati@s in ORAS. I think drawing a connection to Gyarados is speculation. [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 23:24, 28 March 2026 (UTC)

== Switch 1 release possible ==

Does anyone know whether this will be released for the '''original Switch''' as well?

I’m curious because ''Pokémon Winds and Waves'' has been discussed as a major new entry, but it’s still not fully clear what hardware it’s targeting. With Nintendo’s newer systems in the picture, I’m wondering whether the original Switch will still get support, or if this is shaping up to be a next-gen-only release.

If there’s been any official confirmation, developer statement, or even a strong pattern from past Pokémon releases that points one way or the other, I’d love to hear it. The Switch has had a long life and a huge user base, so a cross-generation release would make a lot of sense — but I also wouldn’t be surprised if The Pokémon Company starts moving more aggressively toward newer hardware.

At this point, I think it’s worth asking whether the original Switch owners should expect to be included, or whether this game is likely to be reserved for the next console generation. Any source-backed info would be appreciated.

==Venusaur==

I think Venusaur, as well as mention of Pokémon Green, need to be added to this chart. I can't think of a way to do that without making the chart fugly, though.--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 18:38, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
:Nor can I. I think I did it justice, though, as technically, the Japanese Blue was the third version of Red/Green like Crystal was of GS and Emerald was of RS. [[User:TTEchidna|TTE]] 00:01, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

==Arceus==

On the [[Arceus (Pokémon)|Arceus Page]] it says that Arceus is the Version mascot of the 3rd game. It should either be added to this page or deleted from the Arceus page.
:There IS no third game yet; it's only speculation. And very bad speculation, seeing as how Arceus is an unobtainable. --[[User:DarkfireTaimatsu|DarkfireTaimatsu]] 19:42, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
::Heck, the third mascot could be {{p|Cresselia|Cressy}}, since she's purple and Nintendo's already registered pokemonamethyst.com. At this point, nothing should be put in the spot of the third mascot, we'll find out which Pokémon it is in time. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Well, Nintendo has also registered pokemonjade.com, so I guess we'll have to see later.

Actually, Nintendo has NOT registered pokemonjade.com, but has for amethyst, topaz, and opal at least. Nor has Nintendo registered ivory and ebony yet, either, so a third version about Arceus called Ivory is rather silly (not to mention it would remove all necessities of the event), and I would expect Ivory to be coupled with Ebony in the first place and focus on Light and Dark type legendaries. That's just speculation, though. We can expect Amethyst and Opal to come soon. There's no pokemongirasol.com either, so the third game is probably Opal. Amethyst is the only other possibility, in my mind, as Cresselia and Heatran are the only other non-event legendaries past the end of the Sinnoh-dex, and it's a maybe that Topaz could be Heatran, but I'd be looking for a gem a bit more... how you say, "fiery" for Heatran. More likely it's Opal Version with Giratina, and Amethyst and Topaz are Gen V games. We'll also probably see remakes of Silver and Gold before the third counterpart to Diamond and Pearl, so there's a long way to go before that happens.

Should we keep both {{p|Giratina}}'s form(e)'s pictured, or just one?

The chances are good??? BULBAPEDIA IS NOT BASED ON SPECULATION. A SCREENSHOT SHOWING THE ORIGIN FORM IN GAME DOES NOT PROVE IT WILL BE ON THE BOX ART.

It's alright now it has both pictures and says either or. The fact is we simply don't know yet. [[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 20:01, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

:Regardless. {{p|Giratina}} is the mascot. {{p|Giratina}} is a species of Pokémon. What I'm saying is that at this point, it doesn't matter which form we put. However, it looks silly to have two sprites. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 20:04, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Origin Forme, guys. Charizard and Venusaur are in their RG sprites for RG, Charizard and Blastoise are in their RB sprites for RB, Pikachu in its Yellow sprite for Yellow, and so on and so forth. Giratina is seen in its Origin Forme in-battle in Platinum, so we'll use that. If it's proven that you can encounter Giratina in its Another Forme eventually, we'll use the normal sprite, but for now, let's use the Platinum sprite for Giratina, okay?

Looking at them on my 3DS, Pokémon Shuffle, Pokémon Rumble World, Pokémon Picross and Pokémon Link/Trozei Battle all feature the head of Pikachu on their home menu icons.

The Nintendo eShop informs me that Super Pokémon Rumble has Toy Pikachu on its icon, too, while Pokémon Art Academy has Pikachu on its icon and it is the only Pokémon on the top screen image in the store, while Pokémon Puzzle Challenge also has Pikachu on its icon, as well as the icon of [[PMDGTI]] On a case-by-case basis, do these factors make Pikachu the mascot of any or all of these games?

:If they're distributed on physical carts, with a physical box, then that has to be considered over just the home menu icon. Even if they have no physical box, if there's any equivalent art "splash" that's meant to represent the title, then that should be considered equivalent to the box art. (The in-game title screen may be very relevant. If you consider the core games, their title screens often closely mirror the box art/represent the mascot.) If there's none of that...I'm really not certain it would be right to only base this consideration on the home menu icon anyway.

I know that Arceus is in the game's title and obviously plays a major role in the game, but Arceus doesn't actually appear on the boxart.

== Re-Evaluate the definition of "Game mascot" ==

I do feel it's time we re-evaluate what we consider a game mascot to be because I do feel Arceus should be considered it for LA and Zygarde for ZA. Maybe the defintion can be changed to be "the Pokémon on the box (assuming there is only one)" OR "the Pokémon that is named or referenced in the game's name". Arceus is very clearly referenced in LA and Zygarde is clearly hinted at in ZA's title. One big reason why I think we should re-evaluate is because the when the recent Pokémon 30 logos were revealed, they had sets with the game mascots and even had Arceus & Zygarde. They had Kyurem and Necrozma in place of Black/White Kyurem and Dawn/Dusk Necrozma, but those were clearly referencing B2W2 & USUM. The only one ones not referenced were Pikachu & Eevee, I believe. Also, wouldn't Hoopa be considered the Game mascot for Mega Dimension? Starting a new section from the previous one because it was getting lengthy. [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 23:27, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

:I think Hoopa counts as it’s the main star of DLC. I like “the Pokémon that is named or referenced in the game's name"” line more as that makes the more sense as not every mascot is on box art. [[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 00:09, 24 February 2026 (UTC)

::Yes, and actually maybe others could be considered game mascots as well for other games. Although we shouldn't go crazy, maybe Hey You, Pikachu! could have...Pikachu as a game mascot. Maybe Pikachu for both PokeParks? Just throwing some ideas out there. Also, this video by the Pokémon company basically re-affirms what I said earlier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X618m65s3Gg When could we go about officially changing the definition on the page?

[[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 03:08, 27 February 2026 (UTC)
:Why does the definition of game mascot need to change to accommodate games for which it doesn't currently apply? We can quibble over wording to extend the definition, but doing so detracts from our ability to easily convey the concept to readers unfamiliar with the concept. What makes Zygarde more of a mascot than Ange, also seemingly referenced by the title "Z-A"? What makes Hoopa more of a mascot for Mega Dimension than the Mega-Evolved Pokémon present in the key art? At some point this moves the page from detailing an obvious and objective phenomenon to editorializing and reading tea leaves, which would only continue as more core series games release without a singular species on the cover.
:Considering that both of the current core series titles without a definitive mascot are called "Pokémon Legends," it seems like an intentional decision made by the developers to distinguish those titles from the rest of the core series. The 30th anniversary logos don't seem to be a good basis to say otherwise when those require carving out other exceptions in order to rationalize them as such. -- [[User:Apopheniac|Apopheniac]] ([[User talk:Apopheniac|talk]]) 01:53, 27 February 2026 (UTC)

::Because of the videos from the Pokémon Company that I shared, it seems very clear that they want Arceus and Zygarde to be considered game mascots in the same vein as the other traditional game mascots. I wouldn't consider the definition to be changed. Moreso that it is being clarified. I do agree with Mega Dimension since I just saw boxart where Hoopa is shown but so are both Mega Raichu. As for why Ange is not considered a game mascot is because Ange is not a Pokémon. Definitely feels like Arceus and Zygarde should be added to this. Anyone who plays those games would see them as a "game mascot" even if they don't appear on the box.
::In my opinion, should be at least one of:

:::I don't see why we should prioritize promotional logos over the contents of the key art, seeing as the latter are contemporary to the games' releases and will be familiar to far more people.

::::We're using the promotional logos as evidence because it's what the biggest indicator on what TPCI considers as a "game mascot". The promotional video clearly has a separation between normal Pokémon and those used as a "game mascot". Eternatus and Mewtwo don't appear in that section despite being prominent legendaries. It's very clearly supposed to be mascots of the games. Plus, that promo video is not the only evidence of Arceus and Zygarde being considered mascots as we have the Departure Song from Project Voltage too. [[User:CrownMyFries|CrownMyFries]] ([[User talk:CrownMyFries|talk]]) 15:39, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

::::::I think being beholden to the previous definition of "Pokémon game mascot" just because it has to fit in the strict criteria of "on the boxart" is a bit silly. Sure, the box artwork is most prominent than a marketing campaign, and should probably be considered the "main" way of determine a game mascot. However, since the Legends series seems to defy the rest of the series with its box design, the criteria of a game mascot for those games should be considered different than those games. The promotional campaign shows that TPC uses Zygarde and Arceus in marketing material alongside the other box Pokémon, so it should be safe to assume IMO that those two are considered their respective game mascots. It's not like this wiki hasn't used marketing to define terms before like for [[Electric rodents]]. [[User:CrownMyFries|CrownMyFries]] ([[User talk:CrownMyFries|talk]]) 16:54, 2 March 2026 (UTC)

Related to this, do we need to reconsider the inclusion of the DLC mascots in this category? They were excluded from the Project Voltage and the 30th anniversary videos, plus if we're being technical, they aren't really "game" mascots, they're mascots for their respective expansions. Additionally, the Korean box art for Mega Dimensions includes both Mega Raichus and Hoopa, so if we are keeping them, how will we treat this country explosive box art?

In the Trvia it says that Gen2 Pokemon are not prevented from evolving into Gen1 Pokemon (before National Pokedex is obtained. Once you have this, there are no limits).

However, I've found it impossible to get a Gen2 Pokemon onto the game before obtaining the National Pokedex. I wanted to put the surfing Pichu (from Pokemon Box) onto a japanese LeafGreen but the game simply rejected eggs and the Pichu. Once the Pichu was evolved to Pikachu, it could be traded. Of course, I used another Kanto-edition (as trading from Hoenn is not possible at all before Nationaldex).

So I'd like to know whether the Gen2-Pokemon was put there with cheating or whether I missed something. Either way, It could be added to the article.

== The title of the page should stay the same. ==

It has been suggested that the title of this article be renamed "Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen." I'm okay with the suggestion, but even though other territories don't use the word "version," North America does, so we should refer to them by their full North American names. Thank you.

What exactly is wrong with the Changes section? [[User:Easyaspi314|Easyaspi314]] ([[User talk:Easyaspi314|talk]]) 05:20, 22 October 2016 (UTC)
:To quote SatoMew, specifically the following revision ({{special:diff/2330238}}), "Instead of lists of changes and new things, rewrite it as prose and avoid unnecessary details. Get rid of trivia as far as possible, relocating the info where appropriate (most trivia is not notable)." Either way, comparing it to other articles, it seems like it is ok in my book. (Especially compared to the size of ORAS's section...) If there is an issue, it would be the lack of a "Mechanics inherited from later generations" section. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 06:44, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

::A lot of Pokemon fans specifically look for the changes and trivia section and consider them interesting pieces of information. However we have to make sure that the trivia doesn't fit anywhere else otherwise it looks disorganized and it could be essentially repeating the same information twice. {{unsigned|PokeWizardCali}}
:::Do we have an example that currently exists in the article? If not, then I do not think that this can be considered a reason for the tag to stay. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 04:54, 23 October 2016 (UTC)

== Grammar Edits ==

Hey! This page is listed as needs quality improved; I haven't edited a full page before, but I'd like to try and fix the grammar here. What's the best way to do that? In pieces, paragraph by paragraph? Or all at once? I don't want to spam anyone with notifications, but it would be much easier for me to do it in pieces.
Thanks; [[User:Mintshadow2|Mintshadow2]] ([[User talk:Mintshadow2|talk]]) 20:08, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
:I've seen you've already edited (so: thank you), but as for your question: ''in general'', all at once is preferred (one of the reasons being to not spam the [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]], as you seem to have suspected). If it makes editing easier for you, maybe you can also try to work with Notepad or something on your machine before you save changes here.

== About japanese revision differences ==

Hi, on the page it says that only FireRed recieved a 1.1 revision in the japanese market. The thing is, I just recieved a japanese LeafGreen cart, that I can assure is a real one, that is a 1.1 revision as well. I'm not sure where to post about it elsewhere (maybe on glitchcity's forums?), so feel free to direct me to the correct place if it's not here.

==Question==
:When I played this game years ago on Gameboy Advance SP, I rememeber picking up a Pokeball rather than a potion near the cut tree to the left of the old man in Viridian. I even caught a Pidgey with it before delivering the parcel. And at the Elite Four, Agatha had no Golbat and I thought Blue had a Rhyhorn instead of an Arcanine.
:I am not sure if this brlomgs here, but does this have anything to do with early copies of the game? {{unsigned|RubyLeafGreenCrystal}}
::I know I posted this a long time ago but I still wonder if older copies of FRLG had what I said in this post. [[User:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|RubyLeafGreenCrystal]] ([[User talk:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|talk]]) 20:01, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

== Eevee's gender ==

How do I make sure the [[Eevee (Pokémon)|Eevee]] I get from the [[Celadon Condominiums]] is female? Is there a secret hack or anything? If so, feel free to share! [[User:ObjectHorizons|ObjectHorizons]] ([[User talk:ObjectHorizons|talk]]) 15:56, 20 June 2026 (UTC)

:save your game before receiving the eevee, then turn off your console after you receive it if it isn't female. if you're playing the nintendo switch re-release, pressing home -> X -> A to close the game will do fine. if you keep re-loading the save and checking the eevee repeatedly, you have a 1/8 chance to get a female one each attempt. if you're doing this for a while and don't get any results, you might want to try saving your game each time after you reload it, in order to keep the frames fresh.

== Split discussion ==

It was suggested by Trainersurrel0409 on July 31, 2024 that this article be split into "Miraidon (game)" and "Violet's Miraidon", in order to give the manga Pokémon its own page. Please discuss below. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 19:12, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
:Pages like [[Arceus (game)]] and [[Arceus (Adventures)]] are separated and pages named “Character (game)” is specifically for the character in the games rather than the manga or the anime. It should be split up in my opinion. [[User:Handium|Handium]] ([[User talk:Handium|talk]]) 21:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

::::Yes, despite this Miraidon being clearly based on the one from the game, i still think it should have its own page, mostly because its trainer is Violet, technically different from the player character.

===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Younger Ash XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Ash]]
Ash grew up in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto]] region with his mother, {{Delia}}, as his father spent most of his time traveling. Eventually, Ash would meet {{an|Professor Oak}} and his grandson [[Gary Oak]].

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Ash remembered getting lost in a forest while looking for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He brought some [[wild Pokémon]] out of the rain and found them some shelter in a tree trunk. Ash's happiness about that moment made him think about how much he wanted to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]].
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|220px|Young Ash and Gary watching a movie]]
[[JN001|At the age of six]], Ash learned that Professor Oak would be holding a Pokémon Summer Camp, and eagerly asked his mother {{Delia}} if he could attend. Seeing her son's enthusiasm, she signed him up but also told him that she had things to do outside of the home during the day the camp would take place, so he would have to get himself there in time on his own. Unfortunately for Ash, he ended up breaking his alarm clock in his sleep and overslept, missing the camp.

[[XY007|Later]], Ash managed to attend another one of Professor Oak's Pokémon Summer Camps. One day, another camper named {{an|Serena}} got lost in the forest and wounded her leg after getting startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}. Ash, who was looking for the Poliwag, came to her rescue and wrapped a handkerchief around the wounded knee to brace it. He then helped her up and guided her out of the forest.

As seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', Ash and Gary used to be friends at one point in time and even went to watch movies together. In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', Ash recalled a day when he was about to start his [[Pokémon journey]]. He and Gary Oak both fished out an old, rusty {{i|Poké Ball}}, which snagged on both their lines. After arguing about who would keep it, they broke it in two, each keeping one half as a reminder of that day.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
[[File:Ash runs from Spearow.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
In ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash, and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept a [[Obedience|stubborn]] {{AP|Pikachu}} from Professor Oak as his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] because he woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his safety to keep it safe, the two of them formed an [[Friendship|extremely strong bond]] that has been noticed and remarked upon by many characters in the series. This unbreakable friendship would set his course for the future.

In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{an|Misty}} told off Ash after she found her bike Ash had "borrowed" to save Pikachu with was wrecked. At the end of the episode, {{TRT}} made it their primary objective to steal Pikachu after witnessing Pikachu's power. Misty continued following Ash as he headed for [[Pewter City]], telling him in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' that she would continue following him until she was paid back for the bike.

Ash {{pkmn2|caught}} his first Pokémon, a {{AP|Caterpie}}, in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', followed by a {{AP|Pidgeotto}} the next day.

In ''Showdown in Pewter City'', Ash decided to compete in the [[Indigo League|Pokémon League]] regional championships by earning [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s across the [[Kanto]] region. Ash fought {{an|Brock}}, the {{gy|Pewter}} Gym Leader, in a [[Pokémon battle]] and lost easily. During his [[rematch]], Ash nearly defeated Brock but refused to give the final blow due to the intervention of Brock's [[Brock's siblings|younger siblings]]. Touched by Ash's kindness to Pokémon and with the return of his estranged father, {{ka|Flint}}, Brock decided to go with Ash and pursue his dream of being the world's best {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} and gave Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

In ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', Ash reached the [[Cerulean Gym]] and was shocked to learn that Misty was one of its Gym Leaders. Though the match was interrupted when Team Rocket tried to steal the Pokémon from the Gym, [[Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]] awarded Ash a {{Badge|Cascade}} when Pikachu saved the [[Gym]] with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. He continued his journey with Misty, who had dreams of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} Pokémon Master.
[[File:Ash Kanto first partners.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Kanto first partner Pokémon]]
Ash would go on to obtain the remaining Kanto first partner Pokémon. In ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'', Ash and friends found a [[Hidden Village]] protected by a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Although hostile at first, Bulbasaur warmed up to Ash after he saved an {{p|Oddish}} from Team Rocket. Bulbasaur agreed to join Ash if he could defeat it in battle, which he did with Pikachu, adding Bulbasaur to his team. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash and friends discovered a {{AP|Charmander}} that had been left in the rain by his former Trainer, [[Damian]]. Brock carried Charmander to the [[Pokémon Center]], while Ash held his coat over the Charmander's tail flame to keep it lit. After Charmander saved Pikachu from being taken by Team Rocket, Ash caught him. In ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', Ash and friends met the [[Squirtle Squad]], a rogue group of Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers. They were tricked by Team Rocket into capturing Pikachu, after which they betrayed and bombed them. Ash went back to rescue the {{AP|Squirtle}} leader, which touched it enough to join his team. The remaining members left with [[Officer Jenny]] to become firefighters.

Every time he thought he was doing well, Ash would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], Gary. Gary and Professor Oak reminded Ash that he was always a step behind Gary. In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', Professor Oak told Ash that Gary had caught 45 Pokémon at a point when Ash only had seven.

In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', Ash and his friends were swept away onto [[Pokémon Land]], located on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]], after a group of {{p|Gyarados}} triggered a cyclone using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Four of Ash's Pokémon, including Pikachu, had gone missing during the chaos, but they found their way back to him the following day. Ash and the others took a ferry back to the mainland from ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' to ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
[[File:Ash and friends OS 2.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash with Misty and Tracey]]
Many of Ash's first Gym Badges were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance, rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the Gym Leaders. Of the first five Gym Badges that had been given to Ash in Kanto, only [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' was earned from a victory in battle.

Ash's troubles were not made any easier when his Charmander, after evolving into a Charmeleon, and then a Charizard, grew too powerful and refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]].

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges, Ash went on to compete in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary - and ending up in the Top 16, his defeat coming in the form of his Charizard refusing to battle for him.

[[File:Ash Orange League Hall of Fame.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Orange League [[Hall of Fame]]]]
Following Ash's defeat in the Indigo League, Professor Oak asked him to travel to [[Valencia Island]] in the [[Orange Islands]] to retrieve the [[GS Ball]] from a [[Pokémon Professor]] named {{prof|Ivy}}. While in the Orange Islands, Ash learned of the Orange Crew, an elite group of Trainers not unlike Gym Leaders, that provided challenges for Trainers to overcome in the [[Orange League]]. After Brock decided to stay with Professor Ivy and help her with her work, Ash and Misty were joined by an enthusiastic [[Pokémon Watcher]] named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. Ash, Misty, and Tracey traversed the Orange Islands on the back of a lost {{AP|Lapras}}. Ash caught the Lapras during this time. He eventually defeated the four members of the Orange Crew and finally won the Orange League by triumphing over the [[Orange Crew Supreme Gym Leader]], {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}, becoming an Honorable Trainer and earning himself a spot in the [[Palace of Victory|Orange League Hall of Fame]]. Before leaving the Orange Islands, Ash managed to find his Lapras's pod and {{pkmn2|released}} it back into the wild.

Upon returning to Pallet Town, Ash discovered that Brock had returned due to some unknown incident that left the aspiring Pokémon Breeder in dread of even hearing Professor Ivy's name. Meanwhile, Tracey stayed at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as Professor Oak's assistant, and Brock rejoined Ash and Misty. After his victory in the Orange League, Ash encountered Gary again, and after being defeated in a one-on-one battle, he learned that his rival had been training hard to participate in the [[Silver Conference]] in [[Johto]].

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
Excited at the prospect of meeting new Pokémon and facing Gary again, Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} left for the Johto [[region]] to collect eight Badges from the Gym Leaders in the Johto region and compete in the [[Johto League]]. Much like his travels through Kanto, Ash, Misty, and Brock impacted the many people and Pokémon they met along the way (one of them being [[Kurt]], to whom Ash delivered the GS Ball).

In ''[[EP178|The Grass Route]]'', Ash competed in the [[Grass Tournament]] with Bulbasaur. He lost in the final round to [[Ephraim]]'s {{p|Skiploom}}.

Ash, along with Misty, competed in the [[Whirl Cup]] in the [[Whirl Islands]], with Ash placing in the Top 16. He was defeated by Misty in a 2-on-2; Misty ended up losing in the next round. Ash, along with [[Ritchie]], then helped save {{OBP|Silver|Lugia}}, a child {{p|Lugia}}, and its parent, from the evil machinations of Team Rocket.

Ash encountered Gary occasionally in Johto, and, while they were still rivals, Gary seemed to view Ash with slightly more respect than before. Ash's growth of character was evident throughout this story arc as he continued to think more and more about his Pokémon and less and less about himself. After earning eight Johto Gym Badges, Ash entered the Silver Conference with Gary. Finally, the two rivals battled in the tournament in a [[Full Battle]]. Although it was a close battle, Ash emerged victorious against his rival for the first time in his career as a Pokémon Trainer, marking one of the biggest turning points in said career. After the battle, Gary and Ash departed on good terms with each other, finally overcoming their boyhood animosity and recognizing each other as equals. Ash's journey through Kanto and Johto came to an end when he was forced to split up with Brock and Misty when the two of them received messages to return home.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Ash and friends AG.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash with Brock, May, and Max]]
After hearing about a distant region called [[Hoenn]] from {{jo|Harrison}}, the opponent he lost to in the Silver Conference, Ash decided to journey there and take only Pikachu with him this time. In Hoenn, Ash met a girl named {{an|May}} and her brother, [[Max]], who he later learned were [[Petalburg Gym]] {{FB|Gym|Leader}} [[Norman]]'s children, and both of whom decided to join Ash on his travels. Shortly after the three companions left [[Petalburg City]], Brock rejoined the group when he saved them from a flock of angry {{p|Taillow}} and their {{AP|leader|Taillow}}. From that point onward, Ash journeyed through Hoenn with one old friend and two new friends, collecting Gym Badges in much the same fashion as before. Once May set her sights on becoming a [[Top Coordinator]], Ash supported her whenever he could while maintaining his focus on winning Badges. During these journeys, Ash and his friends ended up being entwined in the plots of the region's two rivaling [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], with Pikachu getting possessed by {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} in the summit of their conflict. Thanks to {{TRT}}'s unintentional help, they helped save the entire Hoenn region.

While Ash had no major recurring rival in Hoenn, he did encounter certain Trainers multiple times and formed friendly rivalries with them. One such friend was [[Morrison]], who was very similar to and just as competitive as Ash and was first introduced close to the end of the group's travels in Hoenn. Just like the Indigo Plateau and Silver Conferences, Ash did not win the [[Ever Grande Conference]], but he came very close before losing to {{ho|Tyson}}, who went on to win the tournament. After parting ways with May, Max, and Brock, Ash returned to Pallet Town. As he passed through [[Viridian City]] on his way back home, he met [[Scott]] and [[Agatha]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in Kanto. He decided to take on the Battle Frontier and was surprised but happy to learn that Brock, May, and Max would join him on this adventure as well. Eventually, Ash conquered the seven [[Frontier Brain]]s and was offered the opportunity to become a Frontier Brain himself, but declined in favor of continuing his Pokémon journey.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
[[File:Ash arriving in Sinnoh.png|thumb|220px|Ash arriving in Sinnoh]]
Following Ash's victory over the Battle Frontier, May set her sights on [[Pokémon Contest]]s in the Johto region and traveled there while Max returned home to Petalburg City in Hoenn. After encountering and battling his old rival, Gary (who has now become a Pokémon researcher), and learning of a new region with new Pokémon, Ash decided to leave for the [[Sinnoh]] region to earn the Gym Badges available there. Like before, he took only Pikachu with him at first but brought his {{AP|Aipom}} along when she snuck onto the ship Ash was leaving on. While Brock did not directly accompany Ash to Sinnoh, he did meet with him while there and traveled with him through Sinnoh as he had for Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn. This time, they were accompanied by another aspiring [[Pokémon Coordinator]] named {{an|Dawn}}. Ash enthusiastically supported Dawn in her endeavors to become a Top Coordinator. Unlike May, he watched all of Dawn's Contests without being distracted by the need to train. Just as he supported Dawn in her Contests, she supported him in his Gym battles. She would even go as far as dressing up as a cheerleader with her Pokémon sometimes and cheer for him.

While traveling through Sinnoh, Ash formed a heated rivalry with a Trainer named [[Paul]]. Throughout Ash's journey, Paul would constantly put him down and the two often argued over their nearly opposite training styles. While Paul was harsh, distant, and sometimes plain cruel to his Pokémon, Ash insisted that the best way to raise Pokémon was through patience, caring, and friendship. Their rivalry came to a head after they competed in a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition|Tournament]] together when Paul released his {{AP|Chimchar}} after it failed to meet his expectations. Ash then decided to take in the Chimp Pokémon and promised to make it strong using his philosophy. Although Ash always considered himself on par with him, Paul would often come out the better in their battles as his Pokémon were very powerful, due to him only keeping Pokémon that were naturally really strong. Ash's Pokémon, though they grew under his command and became strong in their own right, could not yet equal those of Paul's. Later events would soon lead to a particularly crushing defeat at [[Lake Acuity]] for Ash, losing a Full Battle while only knocking out two of Paul's Pokémon in return, this being Ash's heaviest loss in any battle up to that point. Following the defeat, Ash acknowledged that he had to take Paul more seriously and cautiously in the future.
[[File:Ash Wallace Cup.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash in the Wallace Cup]]
[[File:Hearthome Collection Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash in the Hearthome Collection]]
While in Sinnoh, Ash competed in two official Pokémon Contests, once in [[Jubilife City]] and a second time in the [[Wallace Cup]] upon [[Wallace]]'s recommendation. He also competed against several [[Pokémon Stylist]]s in the [[Hearthome Collection]] fashion show in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', where he ended up in third place, winning the Unique Award for his original performance.

As Ash and his friends journeyed through Sinnoh, they ended up becoming heavily involved with the legends of Sinnoh, with Ash being personally chosen by {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}} of the [[lake guardians]]. Along with {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Looker]] and Team Rocket, they faced off against Pokémon Hunter [[J]] as well as the evil [[Team Galactic]]. Thanks to their efforts, the Sinnoh region was spared from [[Cyrus]]'s insane scheme.

Ash eventually obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges he needed to enter Sinnoh's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4. For the second time since meeting Paul (the first being in a [[PokéRinger]] tournament during which Ash's {{p|Staravia}} evolved into a {{AP|Staraptor}} and defeated Paul's {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}), Ash managed to defeat his bitter rival, notably using Paul's discarded {{p|Chimchar}}, now an {{p|Infernape}}, to deal the finishing blow. This confirmed Ash's beliefs in how to raise Pokémon, showing that though he took his time and raised his Pokémon with care and friendship they achieved the same results as Paul's methods. This caused Paul to finally acknowledge Ash as a Trainer of some merit, thus ending their arguments. Ash later fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Although Ash ultimately lost the battle at the same magnitude as his loss to Paul at Lake Acuity, he was not overly upset as he was closer to his Pokémon than ever before. After ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', Ash, Dawn, and Brock split up and went their separate ways, with Brock confirming that he would not be joining Ash on his later travels as he decided to pursue his new dream of being a Pokémon doctor.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
[[File:Ash and friends BW.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Iris and Cilan]]
Shortly after returning home from his Sinnoh journey, Ash traveled with Delia and Professor Oak on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling to Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. In Unova, he brought along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Soon after he started his journey, Ash met {{an|Iris}}, a wild girl who is (as he later learns) a possible successor of the [[Opelucid Gym]] and wishes to be a {{t|Dragon}} Master, and {{an|Cilan}}, one of the [[Striaton Gym]] Leaders, who aspires to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]. After Ash earns their interest by telling Iris of his encounter with Zekrom and battling Cilan for the Trio Badge, the three decide to travel together. During his time in Unova, along with his quest for the Badges, the three friends also competed in the local competitions [[Club Battle]], [[Clubsplosion]], and [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. Despite battling quite well, Ash failed to win any of the tournaments and managed to be the runner-up of two of the three. Despite these mishaps, he was not upset to see his friends win the competitions instead of him.

As they journeyed, Ash and his friends once again found themselves caught up in Team Rocket's new plot, which was personally being supervised by Giovanni. This time, Team Rocket planned to take over the world using a {{an|Meloetta}} that Ash befriended to unleash the power of the {{an|forces of nature}}. Thanks to Cynthia and [[Ridley]], Ash and his friends managed to thwart Team Rocket's evil plot.

After managing to obtain eight Unova Gym Badges, Ash was allowed to participate in the [[Vertress Conference]] along with his current and some new rivals. In the preliminary round, Ash battled Trip one-on-one, defeating him for the first time and ending their rivalry. Ash also defeated his friend and rival, [[Stephan]], in the tournament. He then battled one of his newer rivals, {{un|Cameron}}, where he lost in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'', ending in the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

After the Conference, the three friends decided to check out some ruins that [[Professor Juniper]]'s father, [[Cedric Juniper]] discovered, and on the way, they met with a strange young man named {{an|N}}. They soon became entwined in the plots of [[Ghetsis]], [[Colress]], and [[Team Plasma]] as they sought to take over the world using {{p|Reshiram}}'s power. Ash and his friends, along with Looker, the Team Rocket trio, Professor Cedric, as well as N, [[Anthea and Concordia]], managed to foil Plasma's evil scheme.

As their adventures started coming to a close, Ash and his friends decided to take the long way back to Kanto by sailing on a series of luxury liners through a chain of islands called the [[Decolore Islands]]. On the way, Ash met [[Alexa]], a Pokémon Journalist, from whom he learned of the [[Kalos]] region. Soon after they reach Kanto, Ash split up with Iris and Cilan, who wished to go in separate directions to follow their dreams.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[File:Baron Ash.png|thumb|220px|Ash as a {{tc|Baron}} at the [[Battle Chateau]]]]
After his brief visit to Pallet Town and having left his Pokémon in Professor Oak's care beside Pikachu, Ash arrived at the Kalos region with Alexa, first visiting [[Lumiose City]], where he parted ways with the journalist and tried to challenge the [[Lumiose Gym]] at Prism Tower. He was forcibly ejected from the tower when the computerized security system, later revealed to be the [[Clembot]], found out that he didn't have any Kalos Badges. He was rescued by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}.

Ash brought an injured {{AP|Froakie}} to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}, who told Ash about an additional stage of Pokémon [[Evolution]] he was researching called [[Mega Evolution]]. Assisted by Pikachu and Froakie, Ash calmed down an angry {{p|Garchomp}} belonging to Sycamore that was attacking Lumiose City. Ash saw a Mega Evolved Pokémon for the first time when a Mega {{p|Blaziken}} saved him and Pikachu from falling off of Prism Tower. Froakie then allowed itself to be captured by Ash, and Clemont and Bonnie started to travel with Ash.

Ash won his first Kalos Badge, the {{badge|Bug}}, after defeating the {{ci|Santalune}} [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] Leader, [[Viola]]. The group was joined by Serena, who still remembered Ash rescuing her in her childhood and decided to start her journey to reunite with him, although he initially did not remember the two of them meeting. Ash and Serena learn that Clemont was the Lumiose Gym Leader, who was exiled from his Gym by his invention. They help Clemont face Clembot, and after the issue was resolved, the two boys promised to battle after Ash fulfilled the original conditions set by Clembot (even if it was no longer necessary), to earn four Badges. With that, the group set off on their journey again. During their travels, they occasionally met the ninja boy [[Sanpei]], whose presence always led to progress in Froakie's (and later {{p|Frogadier}}'s and {{p|Greninja}}'s) strength.

Ash briefly traveled with the {{gy|Shalour}} Gym Leader {{an|Korrina}} to discover more about Mega Evolution and [[Mega Stone]]s.
[[File:Ash and friends XY 2.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie]]
Ash and his friends later attended Professor Sycamore's [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], where they met the trio of {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}}, with whom the group started a friendly rivalry with. In Ash's case, his rivalry would mainly be with Trevor and Tierno as Serena and Shauna pursued [[Pokémon Showcase]]s.

During their journey, Ash caught a lost and traumatized {{p|Goomy}}, which he raised into a {{p|Sliggoo}}, and later, a powerful {{AP|Goodra}}. After earning his fourth Gym Badge, Ash eventually faced Clemont in their promised Gym Battle, and won with Goodra's help, gaining his fifth Badge. Later, Ash and friends came across Goodra's [[Kalos Route 14|old home]], where they discovered it was taken over by a {{an|Florges}} and her companions. After saving Goodra's swamp from Team Rocket while simultaneously solving the issue concerning Florges, Ash left Goodra in the wetlands so it could act as the protector of its swamp and the Pokémon living in it. Some time afterward, when Ash reached [[Laverre City]] to challenge the [[Laverre Gym|Gym]], he made a new rival in [[Sawyer]], a novice trainer hailing from Hoenn. Along the way, Ash also supported Serena in her quest to become Kalos Queen and gave her some helpful advice when she eventually lost, telling her that losing is simply another step towards victory.

Later in their journeys, Ash and friends reached [[Anistar City]] and, together with Professor Sycamore, they met the Gym Leader, [[Olympia]]. She revealed his Frogadier's past as a Froakie from before meeting Ash and a glimpse of Frogadier's, his friend's, Sycamore's, Team Rocket's, and his fate, indicating that they would all play a vital role in Kalos's future. Ash challenged her to a [[Double Battle]], which he won using Frogadier and {{AP|Talonflame}}.

Shortly after, the group came across a mysterious Pokémon, dubbed [[Squishy]] by Bonnie, who was being pursued relentlessly by the villainous team [[Team Flare]], prompting the group to put it under their protective custody. Some time afterward, Ash and his friends got involved in a conflict in Sanpei's [[Ninja Village|hometown]], which led to Frogadier evolving into Greninja, as well as achieving [[Bond Phenomenon]] for the first time. During another confrontation with Team Flare in [[Terminus Cave]], Ash learned Bond Phenomenon came at a cost, as he was able to share Greninja's senses, but also share its pain.
[[File:Ash and Greninja Bond Phenomenon.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Greninja activating the Bond Phenomenon]]
Later on, Ash met up with [[Alain]], who became intrigued by Greninja's Bond Phenomenon and requested to battle Ash. Ash put up a decent fight but eventually lost. After his loss against Alain, Ash and Greninja began training to perfect Greninja's new form. Ash and Greninja later had a rematch with Alain and a battle against Diantha, during the latter Greninja even managed to reach its final Ash-Greninja form. Despite their training, the two were unsuccessful in mastering the transformation as Ash passed out during both battles from exhaustion from using the form.

After losing a rematch with Sawyer, in which Greninja even failed to transform, Ash began feeling doubtful of his ability to master the transformation. His confidence was shaken further after brutally losing to the [[Snowbelle Gym]] Leader [[Wulfric]] in a battle where all three of his Pokémon were unable to bring down Wulfric's second Pokémon, {{p|Avalugg}}. After seeing how badly Greninja got hurt during their battle and blaming himself for the loss, a depressed Ash left into the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]] by himself. After an argument with Serena, Ash was able to get back to his old self. He later met up with Greninja, and while trying to save a wild {{p|Spewpa}}, the two were able to perfect Bond Phenomenon. With Greninja's Ash-Greninja form perfected, Ash was able to defeat Wulfric in a rematch, earning him his final Kalos Gym Badge and qualifying him for participation in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

After returning to Lumiose City, Ash entered the Lumiose Conference. Following several notable victories, Ash had Goodra rejoin his team for his semi-final battle against Sawyer. After a narrow victory, Ash managed to defeat Sawyer and reach the finals of the Conference, marking his first appearance in the finals of a Pokémon League; where he would face Alain. On the night before the final battle, he and his friends learned more about the Ash-Greninja transformation. In the finals of the Lumiose Conference, Ash and Alain started a back-and-forth battle that eventually came down to [[Alain's Charizard|Alain's Mega Charizard X]] against Ash's Greninja in its Ash-Greninja form. After a fierce battle, Greninja was defeated, causing Ash to end up as the Runner-Up of the Lumiose Conference. Ash showed great sincerity and principle following the battle, shaking Alain's hand regardless of the result.
[[File:Ash and Pokémon captured.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Pokémon captured by Team Flare]]
During the closing ceremony of the conference, Team Flare began their final operation, using the power of the blue {{p|Zygarde}} {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|Core}} [[Z2]] to cause massive roots to destroy parts of Lumiose City. Ash and his Pokémon were ultimately abducted by Team Flare and were taken captive at the top of Prism Tower, as [[Lysandre]] intended to use Ash and Greninja's Bond Phenomenon for his plans by using Team Flare's Mega Evolution energy ray to control them. However, upon hearing Pikachu's voice, Ash resisted the machine's influence, even getting Greninja to do the same thing. After talking some sense into Alain, Ash and Greninja broke free from their bindings by using the Bond Phenomenon. Ash and Alain soon engaged in a battle against Lysandre and ultimately managed to defeat him. When Ash later heard about the [[Giant Rock]], he met up with the rest to combat it. Thanks to everyone's combined effort, [[Chespie]] was saved from the Giant Rock. Squishy and Z2 ultimately destroyed the creature, before the two Zygarde left.

Following the crisis, Ash helped Alain and Serena resolve their issues and bid farewell to his rivals. Later, after dropping Goodra off at the wetlands again, the group came across [[Xerosic]], one of Team Flare's Scientists. Ash, his Greninja, his friends and the gang were ultimately able to foil Xerosic's plans and hand him over to Officer Jenny. The group soon reunited with Squishy and Z2, who requested Greninja's help to obliterate the remaining negative energy left by Team Flare's crisis. Knowing this was for the sake of Kalos, Ash bade farewell to Greninja before Greninja left with the two Zygarde. After releasing Greninja, Ash and the gang headed back to Lumiose City to say their final goodbyes. After bidding farewell to Serena, who headed for Hoenn, Ash separated from Clemont and Bonnie as well and returned to Pallet Town.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
[[File:Ash and friends SM.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his classmates]]
Ash traveled with Delia to the [[Alola]] region after [[Mimey]] won the trip via lottery. It was shown that Ash gave his Kalos Pokémon to [[Professor Oak]], who gave him and his mother a Pokémon Egg to deliver to his cousin [[Samson Oak|Samson]]. While on [[Melemele Island]], Ash stumbled upon the [[Pokémon School]], where he met {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Sophocles}}, Samson, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} and learned about [[Z-Ring]]s and [[Z-Move]]s. Later on, he met {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Koko}}, the [[Guardian deities|guardian]] of Melemele Island, who gave Ash a Z-Ring and an [[Electrium Z]]. With these discoveries, Ash decided to remain in Alola to study at the school and learn more about Z-Moves, living with Professor Kukui.

Later, Tapu Koko challenged Ash and Pikachu to a battle. Ash's Electrium Z broke after Ash and Pikachu used the Z-Move {{m|Gigavolt Havoc}} on Tapu Koko. Ash then decided to take on the [[island challenge]] to obtain new [[Z-Crystal]]s and prove his worth.
[[File:Ash and Z-Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Z-Ring]]
Ash caught several Pokémon on Melemele Island, such as his {{AP|Rowlet}}, {{AP|Rockruff}}, and {{AP|Litten}}. Ash also got a [[Normalium Z]] after his fight with {{pkmn2|Totem}} {{p|Gumshoos}} on Melemele Island. Tapu Koko gave him a new Electrium Z after Ash won his grand trial battle with Melemele [[Island kahuna]] [[Hala]]. Also, Ash struck up a friendly rivalry with Lillie's brother {{an|Gladion}}. He then gained a [[Grassium Z]] and [[Rockium Z]] during his trial and grand trial on [[Akala Island]]. He also briefly reunited with Brock, Misty, and some of his Pokémon during a field trip to Kanto for an extracurricular activity.

One day, Ash was entrusted to take care of a {{p|Cosmog}} by {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}, which he saw in a dream. The Cosmog, nicknamed [[Ash's Solgaleo|Nebby]] by Lillie, took a liking to Ash and frequently caused trouble with its ability to {{m|teleport}} people around. In ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', {{an|Faba}} kidnapped Nebby while Ash's attention was elsewhere. When Ash and Lillie learned about this, they enlisted Gladion and {{an|Lusamine}} in helping them rescue it. When the four found Faba, they also found that he successfully forced Nebby to summon a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Nihilego}} from an Ultra Wormhole. After Nihilego kidnapped Lusamine and retreated into the Ultra Wormhole, Ash discovered that the incident caused Nebby to evolve into a {{p|Cosmoem}}.

Ash, his classmates, and Gladion then watched as the {{an|guardian deities}} helped Nebby evolve into the Legendary Pokémon Solgaleo and upgrade Ash's Z-Ring into a [[Z-Power Ring]]. With a [[Solganium Z]] he received from Nebby, Ash activated Solgaleo's Z-Move, {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, and had Nebby open up an Ultra Wormhole, allowing everyone to traverse through Ultra Space on Nebby's back. There, after Ash's Electrium Z temporarily transformed into a [[Pikashunium Z]], Ash and Pikachu used it to launch a {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. The attack defeated Nihilego, weakening it long enough for Lillie and Gladion to pull their mother free from its hold. The Pikashunium Z then reverted to an Electrium Z. With their mission finished, Lusamine was taken back through the Ultra Wormhole to the Altar of the Sunne.

During Kukui and Burnet's wedding reception in the aftermath of the incident, Ash and his friends were invited to join an {{an|Ultra Beasts|Ultra Beast}} response task force, known as the [[Ultra Guardians]], which they all agreed to. On their first mission, Ash and his classmates were assigned to capture a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Buzzwole}} that had appeared through an Ultra Wormhole. The Ultra Guardians encountered it at [[Mahalo Trail]], where Ash eventually realized it preferred flexing to battling. As a result, Ash and Kiawe distracted it long enough for the former to throw a [[Beast Ball]] at it, successfully capturing it. Later, Buzzwole was brought to [[Melemele Meadow]], where {{an|Professor Burnet}} temporarily opened a new wormhole, allowing Buzzwole to return home.
[[File:Ash Ultra Guardian outfit.png|thumb|250px|Ash in his Ultra Guardian uniform]]
Later, Ash encountered a {{AP|Poipole}} who seemed strangely attached to Pikachu. After a while, Poipole was confirmed to be an Ultra Beast. Ash was permitted to capture it, though he failed several times as Poipole thought the catching process was a game. After Ash helped it understand what was happening, Poipole allowed itself to be captured and was allowed to stay with the group until they could find its Ultra Wormhole and send it back.

Ash attempted to participate in the [[Ula'ula Island]] challenge, but he was rejected by [[Nanu]] and lost in an impromptu "pre-trial". Afterward, Ash decided to stay on the island and train under {{DL|Guardian deities (anime)|Tapu Bulu}}. This allowed him to formally participate in his island challenge, which turned out to be a battle against [[Jessie's Mimikyu]], who recently gained a [[Mimikium Z]]. Ash barely won thanks to Pikachu learning {{m|Electroweb}}, as well as being able to once again use 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt. Finally, Ash participated in the grand trial, where he faced off against Nanu in a 3-on-1 battle in Nanu's favor and won, earning himself a [[Lycanium Z]].

Ash led the Ultra Guardians' investigation into mysterious dark clouds that appeared over the Alola region, causing all of the adults in Alola to lose their energy and motivation. The cause was revealed to be a {{an|Necrozma}} pursuing a {{an|Lunala}}, which resulted in a massive battle against Necrozma. During this time, Nebby joined the fight; Necrozma possessed Lunala and then Nebby to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane Necrozma}}, respectively; and the Ultra Guardians pursued Necrozma into [[Poipole's world]]. There, they learned about how Necrozma needed to regain its true form to release Nebby. After Ash and Gladion acquired Z-Crystals for Nebby and Lunala, the Ultra Guardians, with the help of their Pokémon, Lunala, Poipole's friends, and everyone else in Alola, shared their [[Z-Power]] with Necrozma, causing it to release Nebby. Afterward, Ash and Nebby used {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}, while Gladion and Lunala used {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}} on Necrozma. The combined Z-Moves fully restored Necrozma's light, giving it the strength to become its true form, Ultra Necrozma. Afterward, the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala traveled back to Alola through the Ultra Wormhole, while Ash said farewell to Poipole, who chose to stay behind in its world.

Later, Ash and his classmates arrived on Poni Island for their research projects for school. Ash's project was to have a grand trial battle. In ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]'', Ash battled the newly appointed island kahuna [[Hapu]] in a one-on-one battle and won. Letting Pikachu choose their reward for the completion, Ash received a [[Steelium Z]].
[[File:Ash Champion.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after winning the Manalo Conference]]
Following this victory, Ash entered the first-ever [[Manalo Conference]], along with his classmates. He eventually made it to the semifinals, where he faced off against the [[Team Skull]] Boss [[Guzma]]. After a tough match, Ash was able to defeat him and advance to the finals, where he was set to face Gladion. On the night before the final battle, Ash's {{p|Meltan}} fused with {{OBP|Meltan|recurring|its fellow Meltan}}, evolving into {{AP|Melmetal}}, which Ash ended up using as his first Pokémon in the finals. The match eventually resulted in a battle between the two Trainers' {{p|Lycanroc}}, with [[Ash's Lycanroc]] eventually emerging victorious, thus earning Ash the title of Alola League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

After winning the Alola League championship, Ash was given the right to have an {{wp|exhibition game|exhibition match}} against the Masked Royal. However, during a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Guzzlord}} invasion of the [[Manalo Stadium]], the Masked Royal's true identity as Professor Kukui was exposed. With his cover blown, Kukui decided to battle Ash as himself and make the exhibition match a Full Battle, which Ash agreed to. During the battle, Ash's Torracat was finally able to defeat its longtime rival, [[Professor Kukui's Incineroar]], and evolve into an {{AP|Incineroar}} itself. Before Kukui could send out his last Pokémon, Tapu Koko appeared and took its place in the battle. When Ash was down to his last Pokémon, Pikachu, Tapu Koko gave Kukui a [[Tapunium Z]], while Ash's Electrium Z once again transformed into a Pikashunium Z, allowing both Pokémon to unleash their signature Z-Moves. In the end, Ash's Pikachu's Z-Move proved superior and defeated Tapu Koko, ending the exhibition match with Ash's victory.

After the Manalo Conference had ended, Ash was left unsure of what to do next. However, after hearing [[Olivia]] mention how important knowing the "outside world" is, he decided to return home and start traveling around the world. After saying farewell to his classmates, Kukui, and Burnet, he boarded a plane back to Kanto, leaving all of his current [[party]] Pokémon (excluding Pikachu) under the two Professors' care.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Ash goal JN.png|thumb|250px|Ash's goal of battling Monarch Leon]]
Sometime after his return to Kanto, Ash joined Professor Oak in attending the opening of the new [[Cerise Laboratory]] in [[Vermilion City]]. During the opening ceremony, the head of the lab, [[Professor Cerise]], informed the attendees that a rare Pokémon would be appearing at the local port shortly. Ash eagerly rushed over there and found out the rare Pokémon was a Lugia. During this encounter, he also met a boy named [[Goh]], and the two shared a ride with Lugia throughout Kanto. When they later returned to the Cerise Laboratory, Professor Cerise was amazed by the information they had gathered about Lugia, and he asked them to become his [[Professor's assistant|research assistants]]. They accepted the offer and were provided with their room to stay in. Delia also left Mimey at the lab to take care of Ash while he stayed there.

Later, Ash and Goh traveled to the [[Galar]] region to watch the finals of the [[World Coronation Series]]. The match ended in the victory of Galar's undefeated Champion {{an|Leon}}, thus making him the Monarch, the official strongest Trainer in the {{pkmn|world}}. Inspired by this, Ash decided he wanted to battle Leon himself. However, before he could challenge him, a [[Gigantamax]] {{OBP|Drednaw|recurring}} went on a rampage and started causing havoc. While Ash and Goh battled it, Pikachu ended up Gigantamaxing as well, therefore giving him enough power to defeat Drednaw. Leon, impressed by Ash's performance, accepted his challenge to a battle. Ash also received a [[Dynamax Band]] from Leon. After Ash lost, he decided to take part in the World Coronation Series as well and climb through its ranks to one day challenge Leon again.

Upon entering the World Coronation Series, Ash immediately started building up a winning streak, soon even reaching the Great Class after defeating Korrina. Ash's winning streak came to an end, however, when he encountered [[Bea]], a {{type|Fighting}} Gym Leader from Galar, who was also aiming to defeat Leon. In their two-on-two match at the [[Fighting Dojo]], Ash failed to defeat a single one of Bea's Pokémon, with her powerful {{p|Grapploct}} with its many limbs and {{m|Octolock}} proving especially troublesome. This crushing defeat caused Ash to start losing his self-confidence and led to him entering a losing streak, even resulting in him falling back into the Normal Class. This caused him to get depressed, until he was snapped back into his senses by a motivational speech from Goh. Thanks to this, he quickly fought his way back into the Great Class and challenged Bea to a rematch at the [[Cianwood Gym]], managing to tie with her this time.

One night, Ash's Dynamax Band began to glow. After learning about cases of Pokémon [[Dynamax]]ing in Galar outside of {{cat|Power Spots}}, Ash and Goh headed there to investigate. Soon after arriving in the region, Ash and Goh ended up getting separated while in the [[Slumbering Weald]], where Ash encountered {{OBP|Zacian|recurring}}, whereas Goh encountered {{OBP|Zamazenta|recurring}}. Later, Ash encountered Leon and joined him in taking care of the Dynamax Pokémon rampaging around Galar. During this quest, they ended up encountering [[Rose|Chairman Rose]] and [[Oleana]], and Ash accompanied them to dine and spend a night at [[Rose Tower]]. When he departed the next day to rendezvous with Goh, {{TP|Leon|Eternatus}} emerged from the [[Hammerlocke]] [[Energy Plant]], starting the [[Darkest Day]] and prompting Ash to head there. At the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], Ash re-encountered Rose and engaged him in a battle, eventually winning thanks to his newly evolved {{AP|Lucario}}. Reuniting with Goh, the two then engaged in a battle against Eternatus, after Leon had failed to stop it. With Zacian and Zamazenta's help, they successfully defeated Eternatus and sealed it away, ending the Darkest Day.
[[File:Ash Chloe Dawn Goh.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash with Dawn, Goh, and Chloe]]
Following his second battle with Bea, Ash entered another winning streak, steadily increasing his ranking. [[JN065|One day]], he received a letter from Iris, challenging him to a World Coronation Series battle. He happily accepted her invitation, but was later surprised to find out that Iris had succeeded [[Alder]] as the new Champion of Unova. After an intense battle, Ash defeated his former traveling companion and rose to the Ultra Class as a result. In his first Ultra Class battle, Ash was pitted against [[Volkner]] and succeeded in defeating him. Following the match, Volkner informed Ash that Cynthia was taking part in the World Coronation Series as well, and had managed to climb her way into the Master Class.

Knowing that he was going to be facing very strong opponents in the Ultra and Master Classes, Ash sought Korrina's help to Mega Evolve his Lucario. After receiving a [[Key Stone|Mega Glove]] from Korrina, Ash traveled to [[Mega Island]] and managed to obtain himself a [[Lucarionite]], just in time to receive a message informing him that Bea was to be his next Ultra Class opponent. As such, Ash then traveled to [[Stow-on-Side]] to settle his score with Bea once and for all on her home turf. Using his newly acquired Mega Lucario, Ash was able to defeat Bea's Gigantamax {{p|Machamp}}, finally earning him a victory against his rival.

After defeating Bea, Ash sought [[Allister]]'s help in Gigantamaxing his {{AP|Gengar}}. Thanks to the {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}} made by him, Gengar was able to unlock its Gigantamax potential, which proved useful in Ash's World Coronation Series battle against [[Marnie]].

His victories kept bringing Ash more and more fame as the rising star of Kanto, causing the news of his next Ultra Class battle, this one against [[Drasna]] of the Kalos [[Elite Four]], to gain widespread media attention. Following a reunion and a training session with Clemont and Bonnie, Ash took on Drasna and defeated her, putting him at the very top of the Ultra Class. As such, his next match was to be an entrance battle against [[Raihan]], the lowest-ranked Trainer in the Master Class. After briefly reuniting with Greninja in Kalos and having his Lucario train its [[Aura]] with it, Ash felt ready for the match. Raihan, Leon's long-time rival, gave Ash a very tough challenge, even forcing him to use Gengar's Gigantamax instead of Lucario's Mega Evolution to bypass his [[weather]] strategy. Eventually, however, Ash managed to win, officially putting him in the Master Class along with the other reigning regional Champions and Alain.

During a visit to the [[Crown Tundra]], Ash reunited with Lillie and her family just as they succeeded in finding Lillie's missing father, [[Mohn]]. He then proceeded to accompany them back to Alola, where he reunited with his Alolan family and friends. Ash also participated in a special [[Battle Royal]] that was organized to celebrate the homecoming of the Alola Champion. During the Battle Royal, the entire Alola region showed their support for Ash and encouraged him to win the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] as Alola's representative.

After some hard training with his Pokémon kept at Professor Oak's lab and Paul, Ash traveled to Galar once more to participate in the Masters Eight Tournament, along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Iris, Alain, and the other regional Champions. His first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}. After watching the other quarterfinal battles, Ash and Steven began their battle. Although he had a tough time against the Hoenn Champion, Ash was eventually able to defeat him with the help of 10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt, advancing him to the semifinals to face Cynthia. After witnessing Leon rather easily defeat Diantha, Ash took on Cynthia. Although Cynthia gained an early lead, Ash gradually evened the odds, until his Mega Lucario finally took home the victory, meaning that Ash and Leon's long-awaited battle was to finally happen.
[[File:Ash winner.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after becoming the new Monarch]]
At the start of the finals, Leon surprised everyone by allowing Ash to use all three of Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Moves during the battle, which Ash accepted. During the climax of the battle, Eternatus appeared above Wyndon Stadium and granted both Trainers an additional use of Dynamax. The climactic showdown ended with a clash between Ash's Pikachu and [[Leon's Charizard]]. Ultimately, Ash's partner emerged victorious against the undefeated Charizard, fulfilling Ash's dream of defeating Leon and making him the new Monarch.

Following the Masters Eight Tournament, Ash announced his intentions to set off on a new journey alone to continue learning more about Pokémon and achieve his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master. After departing from the Cerise Laboratory, Ash parted ways with Goh, who wished to go his way to achieve his dream.
[[File:Ash Epilogue.png|thumb|250px|Ash resuming his journey with Pikachu]]
Shortly after parting ways with Goh, Ash met an injured wild {{an|Latias}}. He helped to treat her injuries and protected her from being stolen by Team Rocket. As a result, she started to secretly follow him. Soon after, Ash reunited with Misty and Brock, who joined him in his travels once more as they continued to help out Pokémon in need and reunite with Ash's other old friends like Cilan, the [[Squirtle Squad]], and his Lapras. Latias eventually reappeared before Ash and requested his help in saving a {{p|Latios}} from a {{OBP|Pokémon hunter|JN146}}. Once the hunter had been stopped, the duo bid farewell to Ash and his friends. He decided to return to Pallet Town following this, with Brock and Misty also deciding to return to their respective hometowns, although not before expressing a desire to travel again in the future. After returning home, Ash reunited with Tracey and his Pidgeot, the latter of whom returned to his party. During an encounter with Gary, he was asked how close he was to becoming a Pokémon Master now that he had become the Monarch. After spending a while pondering the answer, Ash deduced that to him, a Pokémon Master is a person who can befriend any Pokémon. Since he had failed to truly befriend Latios despite helping him, he figured he still had to work more to achieve his dream. As such, he resolved to resume traveling and left Pallet Town with Pikachu once more.

===Character===
[[File:Ash and Delia.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his mother]]
Ash is an only child who lived with his mother {{Delia}} until he left for his [[Pokémon journey]] at the age of ten. His main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. One particular characteristic about Ash that has not changed throughout the series, aside from his determination and his passion for raising and training Pokémon, is that he is incredibly selfless. He will often go to extraordinary lengths to earn a Pokémon's trust and respect and to better understand a Pokémon that he sees as troubled. He is also very fair-minded and trusting, a true testament to his good-natured character.

Ash has a strong sense of justice, especially when it comes to Pokémon. If a Pokémon is in trouble, he will make every effort to help them, even if he has no prior connection to them. If they are the cause of trouble, he will stop them, and then try to understand them, with almost all such occasions being a case of the Pokémon, or their Trainers or friends, having a problem which can't be resolved normally. In those cases, he will selflessly volunteer to help them. As shown on several occasions, such as in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'' and ''[[JN137|The Road Most Traveled!]]'', he is even willing to put his own life in danger to help Pokémon. Should the problem be caused by [[human]]s, such as {{TRT}}, [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon thieves, hunters, or poachers]], Ash will resolve to do anything in his power to stop them.

Despite this and previous dealings with villainous teams, Ash has retained a remarkably optimistic and naive outlook, a trait {{ashfr|his companions}} seem to share. He is quick to praise and has an unshakable trust in both his Pokémon and his friends. Also, Ash is determined to see the best in everybody unless he has a very good reason not to. An example would be Team Rocket's frequent "sudden appearances" that coincide with their needs at that time, and Ash never questioning it until it is too late. Another example would be how he always praises {{an|Clemont}} for [[Clemontic Gear|his inventions]], no matter their high failure rate, and the near-inevitable explosion, or {{an|Cilan}} for his various hobbies. Furthermore, even though almost all of his friends have large dreams, Ash fully supports them and has never doubted their ability to accomplish them, possibly due to his own highly ambitious goal. He also encourages Pokémon to do the best they can, even if they aren't his own, and has even helped train [[wild Pokémon]].

In the [[original series]], though Ash actively took part in {{pkmn|battle}}s, he was rarely seen independently {{pkmn|training}} his Pokémon. However, since {{aniseries|RS}}, Ash is shown training more noticeably, having practice battles with his friends and focusing on [[move]]s, techniques, and strategies with his Pokémon. A noticeable trait of Ash's is his willingness to learn from both his victories and defeats. For example, after winning in a [[Gym]] battle against [[Winona]] in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle!]]'' and witnessing her Pokémon's powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Ash was motivated to have his {{AP|Swellow}} learn it. Even his losses can inspire him, such as when he lost to [[Clayton]] in ''[[DP159|Short and To the Punch!]]'' and decided to teach his {{AP|Buizel}} {{m|Ice Punch|one of the moves}} Clayton's {{p|Mr. Mime}} had used during their battle. He believes nothing he and his Pokémon do on their journey is a waste of time.

In the beginning of the series, Ash had a bit of an inferiority complex, as well as some form of personal pride, most likely stemming from his [[rival]]ry with {{Gary}}. As a result, he had some bad habits, such as shamelessly boasting of his skill if he were ever on a winning streak, and becoming angered easily if he were personally insulted, as seen in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''. Ash used to complain about perfectly legal things, like [[Giselle]]'s {{p|Cubone}} using a bone in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', or [[Blaine]]'s use of the lava in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. He even locked himself up in his room and sulked after losing to [[Ritchie]], although this anger was not entirely unfounded as the loss came as a result of both his {{AP|Charizard}}'s disobedience and Team Rocket wearing out his other Pokémon before the match began. He overcame his disappointment after seeing and listening to how Ritchie took his loss as a way to better himself as a Trainer in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''. Fortunately, during his journey, Ash has gotten over this particular character trait and is now more accepting of criticism of his skill, though he still gets upset if his Pokémon are insulted or degraded.

[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Paul]]
Perhaps one of Ash's greatest rivalries was against [[Paul]] during his time in the [[Sinnoh]] region. On the contrary of Ash, who strongly believed in the [[Friendship|bond between Trainer and Pokémon]], Paul's only concern was with a Pokémon's strength, believing that bonding only caused them to become spoiled and unmotivated. Due to this, aside from winning the [[Sinnoh League]], Ash's biggest goal during his Sinnoh travels was to ultimately change Paul's mindset and have the latter finally acknowledge him as a Trainer worthy of his attention. After a long and exhausting journey, he finally managed to accomplish this after defeating Paul at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], after which Paul finally recognized Ash as his rival and equal.

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

Ash has changed a great deal throughout the series, particularly regarding his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to his friends, family, and supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his Charizard defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can be without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.

[[File:Ash catches a Pokémon JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash after catching a Pokémon]]
Physically, Ash is in very good shape, especially for someone 10 years of age. He has a lot of stamina, walking miles upon miles through all kinds of environments while journeying between towns on his journey. He also has huge endurance, as seen when he took powerful attacks from various Pokémon head-on and then recovering quite quickly. Furthermore, Ash has demonstrated himself to be a bit acrobatic, occasionally being able to keep up with {{an|Iris}}, who virtually grew up swinging and jumping through treetops. Ash has occasionally displayed great reflexes, being able to dodge attacks or catch falling objects out of the blue, and even being able to save himself, or others, in the last second during perilous situations. What's more, Ash has exhibited tremendous willpower, as seen when he took attacks for long periods and keeps advancing, which also drives his "never give up" attitude when it comes to Pokémon battles. He is also strong, being capable of picking up heavy Pokémon such as Larvitar and Hippopotas.

Ash is also quite dense when it comes to matters of the field of romance. Throughout the series, Ash has only displayed open interest in a [[Giselle|female]] only [[EP009|once]], and nothing came out of it. Though some girls in the series have shown obvious affection towards him, Ash meets it with nearly unfailing obtuseness, which some characters have also noticed. Even when it involves other people's romance, Ash is usually oblivious until someone points it out to him. Also, on a few occasions when it came to a matter of Pokémon love, with a male who's experiencing difficulty in gaining the attention of a female, while his friends will often mainly advise on improving the male's looks or charm, Ash's advice is simply to be stronger. Despite this, however, it is shown on several occasions that Ash does seem to understand the concept of marriage, most notably in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure]]'', when he got excited by the news of {{an|Professor Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet}}'s engagement, and subsequently worked with his classmates to organize a big wedding ceremony for them.

Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary, a feat that he never accomplished. Ash later slowed his pace, which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history as a Trainer. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This was shown when {{AP|a Mankey|Primeape}} stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when an {{AP|Aipom}} did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again on several future occasions, however, while she was under his ownership, he chased after her in the same manner as before, most likely out of exasperation that she still hadn't learned her lesson.

Ash has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time. He has also gained a close connection with many {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], such as the ones who played major roles in the {{pkmn|movie}}s. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.
[[File:Ash Aura.png|thumb|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Ash possesses some special abilities as he has the rare ability to use [[Aura]]. He is said to have the same Aura as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient Aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|Part 2]]'', Ash uses Aura again to locate a lost [[Aura Sphere Riolu|Riolu]] and read its mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the Aura, rather than manipulating it. In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', an unhatched {{p|Riolu}} reacted to Ash's Aura, and he was able to sense the Egg's response, leading him to it. Ash also has the unique ability to use [[Bond Phenomenon]]. After he obtained a [[Key Stone]], Ash's Aura powers were enhanced significantly, allowing him and his {{AP|Lucario}} to sense each other from a great distance away. After training with {{AP|Greninja}}, Ash and Lucario were able to synchronize their Auras even better, allowing Lucario to make its {{m|Aura Sphere}} grow into massive proportions by drawing power from the Auras of its allies.

Though his passion remains in battling, Ash is always eager to try new things, especially if he can do them together with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}}, having participated in other events like [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[PokéRinger]] tournaments, and even a [[Hearthome Collection|fashion show]] and a {{pkmn|Dress-Up Contest|cosplay convention}} as well as various other {{cat|Pokémon competitions}}. He has [[Contest Pass]]es for [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hoenn]]. Ash carries with him half of a broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, while [[Gary Oak]] has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of the {{DL|Ribbon|Terracotta Medal}} he received after his [[Contest Battle]] with May in the unofficial {{to|Terracotta}} Contest ended in a tie.
[[File:Ash Alolan Family.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and his Alolan family]]
His father has not been introduced. The series suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, whose son followed his footsteps. An interview with the series storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to Hidaka, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer. On the other hand, according to [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation|Takeshi Shudō's novelization]], Ash's father left home to go on a journey right after Ash was born and never returned since. As he never registered his name in the Pokémon Trainer's list, his whereabouts are unknown. However, during his time in [[Alola]], Ash's family expanded with Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet, as shown in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]'', when [[Mina]] was making a family portrait of them and agreed with {{an|Lana}} when she called the Professors his Alolan family. Ash also gets an Alolan brother in Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet's son, [[Lei]], as seen in ''[[JN037|That New Old Gang of Mine!]]''.

Once he gained the title of {{pkmn|Champion}} in the Alola region, Ash became a local celebrity there, as seen in ''[[JN076|All Out, All of the Time!]]'' and ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]''. After becoming the [[World Coronation Series]] Monarch, Ash became a more recognized figure in other regions, as seen in ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]''.

===Pokémon===

[[File:Ash with his Pokémon JN114.png|thumb|left|250px|Ash with his team and Pokémon at Oak's lab as of ''[[JN114|Friends, Rivals, Lend Me Your Spirit!]]'']]
[[File:Ash Released Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Some of the Pokémon Ash formerly traveled with (plus the [[Pink Butterfree]])]]
As a Trainer, Ash has {{pkmn2|caught}} and [[Friendship|befriended]] a sizable number of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} throughout his [[Pokémon journey]]. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals, and that a combination of trust, friendship, and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. Most of Ash's Pokémon were caught because they allowed him to after he befriended them. He seems to {{pkmn|battle}} best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu—ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]—however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care.

Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits. He often ignores type advantages and has been shown to use unusual strategies. For instance, during {{aniseries|DP}}, he incorporated a twisting-spinning maneuver into his Pokémon's attacks, which eventually led to him creating the original technique, [[Counter Shield]]. He occasionally takes inspiration from other Trainers' battle styles, and has even used their strategies to enhance his own as shown with {{an|Dawn}}, [[Paul]], and {{an|Tierno}}, although he tends to be most comfortable using his own unique strategy and has stated it to be the one he can truly count on.

Ash is very attached to his Pokémon and prefers to [[Friendship|bond]] with them through battling and training. Furthermore, he cares about their opinion, even giving them the option of whether they should [[Evolution|evolve]] or not. As such, the majority of his Pokémon also share Ash's stubborn and reckless nature, persistently attempting to rise and continue battling, even after receiving a great amount of damage and being at the end of their rope. However, if it is by their wish, or if he believes it is best for them, Ash will—if sometimes reluctantly—[[trade]] or [[Released Pokémon|release]] them, and in some cases, leave them with more experienced individuals so that they can train and get stronger. If Ash ever accidentally upsets his Pokémon, he will work hard to make amends and repair the bond with them.

Though Ash normally catches five or more Pokémon per [[series]], he rarely ever switches the Pokémon in his current [[party]] with those in [[Pokémon Storage System|storage]] or with other Trainers. He usually only does so for important battles (such as [[Pokémon League Conference]] or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} matches), or when attending certain events that require a specific Pokémon (like {{AP|Tauros}} at the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]] or {{AP|Snorlax}} at the [[Sumo Conference]]). He does allow his Pokémon to rejoin his team if they directly request it, such as when {{AP|Phanpy}} approached him after his [[Hoenn]] journey or when {{AP|Aipom}} stowed away on the boat to [[Sinnoh]]. He also added {{AP|Charizard}} to his [[Unova]] party after being reminded of it by the [[Kanto Fair]], but would not regularly rotate his full roster of Pokémon until ''[[To Be a Pokémon Master|Pokémon: To Be a Pokémon Master]]''.

At the end of each series, Ash will typically leave behind all of his current Pokémon (sans Pikachu) at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Laboratory]], a trait inspired by {{Gary}} at the end of the [[Silver Conference]]. During {{aniseries|BW}}, Ash's Unova Pokémon were instead kept in storage at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab in [[Nuvema Town]] when not in his party, but after Ash left Unova to travel through the [[Decolore Islands]], Professor Juniper transferred these Pokémon to Professor Oak. At the end of {{aniseries|SM}}, he chose to leave his [[Alola]] Pokémon with {{an|Professor Kukui|Professors Kukui}} and {{an|Professor Burnet|Burnet}}.

Ash currently has ownership of 78 Pokémon, including all 30 of his Tauros. Including pre-evolved forms, traded, released, and [[Gift Pokémon|given away]] Pokémon (and not including the additional Tauros), in total, Ash has officially owned a total of 98 different Pokémon species (102 if Larvitar and Solgaleo are included).

==In the core series games==
[[File:Abandoned Megamart Ash and Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Pikachu riding on Ash's shoulder]]
Ash Ketchum is based on {{ga|Red}}, his counterpart from the games. Additionally, "Ash" is one of the suggested names for Red in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], for the rival character {{ga|Blue}} in the games {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}} (international) and LeafGreen, and for {{ga|Ethan}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

In {{game|Yellow}}, some elements are based on the [[Pokémon the Series|animated series]]. Red, the player character, starts with a {{TP|Red|Pikachu}}, which is based on [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Red later receives the trio of Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] in similar circumstances as Ash: {{p|Bulbasaur}} from a girl based on [[Melanie]], {{p|Charmander}} from a boy based on [[Damian]], and {{p|Squirtle}} from an [[Officer Jenny]].

In the Spanish version of [[Pokémon X and Y]], a male {{tc|Rising Star}} in {{rt|21|Kalos}} says that his Pokémon is named "Ash Ketchum".

In the {{FB|Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon|Special Demo Version}} of {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the player, {{ga|Elio|Sun}}, receives an unsigned letter from somebody heavily implied to be Ash. Included with this letter is a {{AP|Greninja}}, with "Ash" being listed as its [[Original Trainer]]. Like in the animated series, Ash's Greninja can transform into {{fd|Greninja|Ash-Greninja}} by using its unique [[Ability]], {{a|Battle Bond}}.

In Pokémon Sun, Moon, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, a photo of Ash and Pikachu can be seen in the back room of the abandoned {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}.

==={{pkmn|event|Events}}===
Several [[event Pokémon]] based on Ash's Pokémon have been made throughout the franchise. In addition to the aforementioned Greninja, a special form of {{p|Pikachu}} [[Pikachu in a cap|wearing Ash's different hats]] up to {{aniseries|SM}} were made available in {{g|Sun and Moon}}. Later games introduced Pikachu with Ash's hats from ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' and {{aniseries|JN}}.

Ash could be challenged after defeating the other Trainer and Battle Mode opponents. The lineup included 1 new Trainer class in addition to Ash and Goh, who had their [[hometown]] as part of their name instead of "Pokémon Trainer". Promotional disks could also be dispensed for an additional ¥100 following battles with Goh or Ash, with 'WINNER' versions available to players who successfully defeated their teams. Players facing Ash could receive a {{OBP|Mew|Trainer and Battle}} disk or a {{OBP|Lugia|Trainer and Battle}} disk.

Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In them, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in.

==In the TCG==
[[File:AshFriendshipAshvsTeamRocketDeck25.jpg|thumb|200px|right|{{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}, Ash's only Supporter card. Notice how it uses the Sun & Moon layout. This means no cards focusing on Ash himself were released in the first decade of Pokémon!]]
While Ash Ketchum was the main character of the primary Pokémon animation for the majority of the brand's existence, Ash makes vanishingly few appearances in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. This is especially notable when compared to the main antagonists of the [[Team Rocket trio]], which have received more cards than Ash has. The majority of cards relating to Ash have not been released outside of Japan.

Most of the time, it is the Pokémon that Ash uses that receive cards. Usually, these are released alongside [[Pokémon movie]]s. The first of these was a [[jumbo card|jumbo]] {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|promo card}} for his [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] teamed up with the [[Pichu Brothers]], which was [[Pichu and Pikachu (CoroCoro promo)|Pichu and Pikachu]]. It was a tie in to ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'', one of the [[Pikachu short]]s. The first card released at normal size was {{TCG ID|ADV-P Promo|Ash's Treecko|36}}, released as a promotional card. Ash is present in the art of the card, although only as a mirage. {{TCG ID|Movie VS Pack|Ash's Torkoal|9}} heralded in the usual way Ash's Pokémon were released in the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#EX Series|EX Series]], by being released as part of the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration VS Pack: Sky-Splitting Deoxys}} {{TCG|deck kit}}. That kit was released to coincide with ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', and included many of the Pokémon seen in the movie as cards. Several more of Ash's Pokémon would receive cards in deck kits in this manner. As cards with "Ash's" as a prefix, they are mechanically [[Owner's Pokémon]].

[[File:StaraptorMMovieRandomPack18.jpg|thumb|200px|left|[[Staraptor M (Movie Random Pack 18)|Staraptor]] {{SP|M}}. This card does not say it is Ash's Staraptor, and its name only indicates it is from the movie. But the icon of Ash and the artwork make it clear that this is Ash's Staraptor.]]
As the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Diamond & Pearl Series|Diamond & Pearl Series]] rolled around, cards featuring Pokémon that Ash possesses changed. They were instead [[Pokémon M]], a group of [[Pokémon SP]] based on the Pokémon seen in Pokémon movies which were released in the {{TCG|Movie Commemoration Random Pack}} to promote ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Two of them are Pokémon that Ash used, namely [[Pikachu M (Movie Random Pack 12)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} for Ash's Pikachu and [[Staraptor M (Movie Random Pack 18)|Staraptor]] {{SP|M}} for [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Ash is featured in the artwork of the cards. A third card, [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|Pikachu]] {{SP|M}} [[Pikachu M LV.X (DPt-P Promo 43)|LV.X]], was released as [[DPt-P Promotional cards|DPt-P Promotional card]] alongside the set and is a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|Level Up}} for the Pikachu {{SP|M}} card. After this, Ash Ketchum related cards made fewer appearances for a while.

Cards relating to Ash returned in the [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Black & White Series|Black & White Series]]. An event tied to the distribution of [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Secret Eggs|Secret Eggs]] which had the possibility of hatching into a {{p|Pidove}} based on [[Ash's Pidove]] (among other main characters' Pokémon) also involved the release of a {{TCG|BW Black Star Promos|BW Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|BW Promo|Pidove|15}}. This ties the card to Ash's Pidove as well. In the XY Series, an [[Ash-Greninja-EX (XY Promo 133)|Ash-Greninja]]{{EX}} was released. It showcased [[Ash-Greninja]], a new form that [[Ash's Greninja]] could take on in the show during [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]] that resembles Ash himself. Both of these cards received English releases.

[[File:AshPikachuGXAshVSTeamRocketDeckKit5.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}} has to be in play to get Ash's Friendship's full effect of drawing four cards. Otherwise, the Supporter just draws two cards.]]
The [[Pokemon Trading Card Game#Sun & Moon Series|Sun & Moon Series]] has Ash's most prominent appearances in the TCG to date. The {{TCG|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck Kit}} included a complete half deck themed around Ash Ketchum instead of having Ash only be included in a movie themed deck. Many of the Pokémon have artwork related to Ash's adventures in [[Alola]] during {{aniseries|SM}}. (Although these cards are not named after Ash, and therefore have no gameplay distinction, the context of their artwork and this product mean they very clearly represent the Pokémon that Ash meets.) Ash's Pikachu got another printing, this time as [[Ash's Pikachu-GX (Ash vs Team Rocket Deck 5)|Ash's Pikachu]]{{GX}}. Most importantly, an Ash {{TCG|Supporter card}} was finally printed as {{TCG ID|Ash vs Team Rocket Deck|Ash's Friendship|25}}. It causes the user to draw two cards, but instead draws four cards if that player also has Ash's Pikachu{{GX}} in play. Naturally, Ash is present in the art of Ash's Pikachu {{GX}}, as well as in the art of three of the other Pokémon in the Ash deck. A card for [[Ash's Litten]], {{TCG ID|SM-P Promo|Litten|59}}, was released as a promotional card alongside the deck kit, which also has Ash in its artwork.

Ash's Pikachu would be printed seven more times in the Sun & Moon Series, this time as {{TCG|SM Black Star Promos}} representing the various [[Pikachu in a cap|Ash's Pikachu forms]]. These cards, as with the entire promotion surrounding the forms, were a tie in to the movie ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Each one wears one of [[Ash's hat]]s from across {{aniseries|PTS}}. These cards also received an English language release.

Lastly, a card representing Ash's Pikachu, {{TCG ID|SM Promo|Pikachu|227}}, was printed as SM Black Star Promo, with its basis being the movie ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]''. While this card did receive an English printing, a printing with art including Ash Ketchum was only used in Japan.

This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring Ash or his Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash hat OS concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|Concept art of Ash's hat from the original series]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/El_Aleph87/status/1632063563744378884 Press release of "Hometown Story"]</ref>
* Ash's height is around 4'7" (140 cm).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20210219050737/https://pokemonday.pokemon.co.jp/tips/065/ Japanese Pokémon Day website tip #65] (Archived)</ref>
* [[Ash's hat]] in the [[original series]] was similar to {{ga|Red}}'s hat in his original design from {{game|Red and Green|s}} before undergoing several changes until the final design.
* Ash is still considered a 10-year-old in promotional materials and in mainline animated series episodes as recent as ''[[JN067|Sleuths for Truth!]]'', despite at least a year having been implied to have passed between ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]''.
** [[Kunihiko Yuyama]], creative supervisor for {{aniseries|JN}} and executive director for prior series, has stated in an interview with {{wp|Daniel Arsham}} in ''Arsham's Pokédex'', a collection of Pokémon-related artwork, that Ash does not age because the animated series is set in an endless early summer.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash originally wanted a {{p|Squirtle}} to be his [[first partner Pokémon]], but {{an|Professor Oak}} told him it was taken by a [[Gary Oak|Trainer who was not late]].
* In the animated series, Ash is the first and, so far, only [[Pokémon Trainer]]:
** With a known [[hometown]] to not be native to any of the regions he is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of.
** With access to [[Z-Move]]s, [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]], and [[Mega Evolution]] at the same time.
*** Who has used more than one of those in a single battle.
** Shown to have won two of the same Gym Badge, as he's earned a {{badge|Rain}} from both [[Juan]] and [[Wallace]].
* Ash is the only Champion in the animated series to own a [[Mythical Pokémon]].
* Ash has never caught another Electric-type Pokémon other than Pikachu.
* Ash has never officially owned a {{cat|female-only Pokémon}}.
** While he has technically owned a [[Legendary Pokémon]] in {{AP|Solgaleo}}, he has never officially {{pkmn2|caught}} one in a [[Poké Ball]].
* Ash has caught at least one of the [[first partner Pokémon]] of every [[region]] he has visited, except for [[Galar]].
* As of ''[[JN016|A Chilling Curse!]]'', Ash has caught at least one Pokémon belonging to all eighteen [[type]]s (this includes Pokémon he owns or has owned that have been retroactively made {{type|Fairy}}).
** Also, as of ''[[JN099|Battling Turned Up to Eleven!]]'', he has used at least one [[move]] of every type with his Pokémon.
* Ash has caught at least one {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in every [[series]].
** Moreover, Flying is the most common type among Ash's non-temporary Pokémon under his ownership, with a total of twelve representants.
* [[Alola]] is the only region in which Ash does not catch a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** Similarly, ''Pokémon Journeys: The Series'' is the only series in which he does not catch a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* All of Ash's {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are part of a three-stage evolutionary line.
* Ash's favorite move is {{m|Thunderbolt}}, as revealed by himself in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]''.
* Ash can {{wp|drawing|draw}}, as shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' when he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}. However, his drawing was insulted by [[Angie]].
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber at various points in the animated series, such as in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', ''Climbing the Walls'', and ''[[SM075|Some Kind of Laziness!]]'', to the point of {{an|Misty}} saying "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}" in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', and {{an|Brock}} calling him a "human {{p|Aipom}}" in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
* Ash has lost once to every {{type|Normal}} [[Gym Leader]] he has met. Out of the four Normal-type Gym Leaders he has battled against, [[Cheren]] is the only one against whom Ash has never won.
* The only region where Ash didn't lose any official Gym battles is the [[Orange Islands|Orange Archipelago]].
** Also, Ash did not lose any official trials in {{aniseries|SM}}, although he lost to [[Nanu]] in an [[SM074|unofficial battle]].
* Ever since facing [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'', Ash has not won a Gym [[Badge]] in the same episode in which he meets the [[Gym Leader]].
* If only {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles are counted, Ash's longest winning streak lasted a total of 87 episodes, spanning from his loss to [[Rinto]] in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'' to his loss to Misty in ''[[JN138|A Fated Face-Off!]]''.
** If not, as all of his eligible Pokémon were defeated in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}} in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]'', the longest period Ash has been on a winning streak is exactly 70 episodes, going from ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]'' to ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]''.
* Ash has defeated more regional Champions onscreen in the animated series than any other Trainer, having won official battles against {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Steven Stone|Steven}}, {{an|Cynthia}}, and {{an|Leon}}, as well as an unofficial battle against [[Alder]], who fell asleep before the battle began and forfeited soon after waking up.
** Additionally, he has defeated Wallace, the former [[Hoenn]] Champion.
* Ash shares at least one Pokémon of the same evolutionary line with one of his rivals in each series.
* ''[[JN032|Time After Time!]]'' and ''[[JN133|The Mew from Here!]]'' are the only mainline animated series episodes of {{aniseries|PTS}} to not feature Ash in any capacity.
* In promotional material for the [[Manalo Conference]], Ash was given the title of (Japanese: ゼンリョクチャレンジャ ''Full-force challenger'').
* {{DL|Pokémon social media|National Ash Ketchum Day}} is celebrated every September 15, the anniversary of Ash's first [[Pokémon League Conference]] [[SM139|victory]], first being celebrated on said victory's first-year anniversary in 2020.
* In the [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]] episode ''[[TW01|Letter]]'', a Trainer who bears a resemblance to Ash can be seen at the entrance to [[Wyndon Stadium]] with a {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Although Ash has been retired from the role of main protagonist as of {{aniseries|HZ}}, Senior Marketing Director of [[The Pokémon Company International]], Andy Gose, has not ruled out the possibility of him reappearing at some point due to him still being around in the world of Pokémon.<ref>[https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/pokemon-horizons-netflix-ash-ketchum-1235927798/?utm_source=syndication Variety]</ref> (Take this information with a grain of salt...)

* In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side mission|Side Mission 107]]: "The World's Greatest Pikachu!" is requested by a {{tc|Grade-Schooler}} named Pikami, who uses only a {{p|Pikachu}} and whose attire resembles that of Ash, likely being a reference.
* In the licensed Brazilian music video "[[The Strength of the Master]]", a boy and a girl appear dressed as Ash and Misty.

::::::I think the same. In my opinion only the episodes with the Lecture should be listed, insted of all of them. [[User:RikkiKitsune|Rikki Kitsune]] ~ [[User talk:RikkiKitsune|リッキキツネ]] 17:22, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, we probably shouldn't really begin doing clearout work until we have all of the lectures (at least from the first three generations, as [[Generation IV]] is still ongoing). A lot of the pre-Advanced Generation lectures are still missing from the list. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:33, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
:I just found the trivia part in [[EP061]]: "This is the first episode in the Japanese version to feature Oak's Pokémon Lecture, which would last until mid-Advanced Generation series then start again in the early Diamond and Pearl series."
:Shouldn't we delete the part of EP001 to EP060??? Also I find the old pokemon video in a video site,I will add the content as I have time:)--[[User:chungkingpun|chungkingpun]] 9:20, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
::Source for that being the definitive start?I was under the impression that we didn't know for sure. Either way, there isn't much point in keeping a huge gap. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 09:48, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

==DP Name Change==
It seems in the DP series, there were two names for the lecture. I don't have all the episodes in Japanese, but from what I've seen, earlier episodes have "Doctor Orchid's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia" (オーキド博士のポケモン大百科), and later episodes have "Doctor Orchid's Big Pokémon Test" (オーキド博士のポケモン大検定). The "Test" ones have Oak ask a question at the end. Does anyone know when they changed, or if they just alternate? --[[User:Jda95|'''jda''']][[User talk:Jda95|'''95''']] 08:55, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:It changed at DP098. And just like with the original Kanto lectures, the first Pokémon tested is Magikarp (lol). [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 12:02, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

==Translation==
In the translations, shouldn't the Enlgish name for the Pokemon be used, since it's meant for people who don't know Japanese? An yes, I know you just have to hover to see the English name, and it says the Pokemons name off to the side, but the Japenese name just seems out of place with the rest of the English.--[[User:Chris Broach|Chris Broach]] ([[User talk:Chris Broach|talk]]) 01:50, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

==Movie Preview Special Volume in Original Series==
Would not it be more appropriate to ask this here, but to see some things about the Oak's lecture, this is more to see if that is true or not.

It is said that between [[EP102]]-[[EP106]] and [[EP153]]-[[EP156]] appear Movie Preview Special Volume.

I downloaded the RAW episodes of the [[original series]], but all these videos are not recorded versions of their debut on [[TV Tokyo]] (and it is easy to verify, and I do not mean just for [[EP001]]-[[EP115]] that have been recorded in its broadcasts on Kids Station, but I say [[EP116]]-[[EP274]] episodes, which is easily seen that the videos are not recorded its debut on TV Tokyo, but from another source after its original release). When I reviewed these episodes in RAW I downloaded, did not have the Movie Preview Special Volume in those episodes of the original series, but yet other readings Oak's lecture in the other episodes if they were there.

I am of those who wish to locate a few download RAW episodes of the original series that have been recorded in its TV premiere in Tokyo, especially would like to find the original RAW of [[EP001]]-[[EP037]] recorded in 1997 before the [[EP038]] incident, however, these versions appear to be very difficult to find, particularly for those who know absolutely nothing about Japanese. I know that some (though perhaps not here in Bulbapedia) should get their hands on the episodes of the original series recorded its debut on TV Tokyo, however, have not wanted to share these video versions and that is why it is easier to find other versions are not from TV Tokyo. --[[User:Toonamimaniacolatino|Toonami]][http://www.pokeguia.com/Usuario:Toonamimaniacolatino maniacolatino] 13:59, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

==Errors for fixing==
I noticed 2 probable mistakes:
#[[DP151]] - Beldum - The page for this episode says that there was no lecture because it was part of an hour-long special with [[DP152]], but it shows Beldum on here.
#[[DP181]] - Clefairy - This page says that there are no Pokémon senryū instead of blank lines like the others but the page for the episode does not say wether or not they even had a lecture for this episode.
Can someone check these out & fix what's needed. [[User:TrainerX493|TrainerX493]] ([[User talk:TrainerX493|talk]]) 01:29, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
:It aired with those on reruns. {{unsigned|Puto}}

==Split suggestion==
It might be a good idea to split this article into various others while keeping this as the parent article because this list is just going to get longer and the longer it gets, the longer it takes to load. Readers might also be able to comprehend it better if there are separate articles. [[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ''([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|Talk]])'' 04:43, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
: Subpages for each series' list, perhaps? [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] ([[User talk:Yamiidenryuu|talk]]) 15:23, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
:: You mean like {{redlink|Professor Oak's lecture/Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia}}?[[User:Raykyogrou0|Raykyogrou0]] ''([[User talk:Raykyogrou0|Talk]])'' 10:31, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
::: I believe one single list for them all is enough, just like how it was done for the Who's That Pokémon segments, which weren't separated from Pocket Monster TV. We just need a better ordering in the article itself rather than splitting it. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 21:16, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
This has to be the ugliest article I've seen on the wiki. Three notice templates of incongruent sizes on top, a mess of fonts in the first paragraph, excessive article length, and a ton of wasted space in the episode templates. Instead of something sensible like…
{| border="1" style="border-collapse: collapse"
| [[AG105]]- [[AG124]]
| No lecture
| No Pokémon senryū
|}
…we have 20 lines repeating the same info: "no lecture, no Pokémon senryū." Same with [[DP075]]-[[DP084]]. The Big Pokémon Examination, BW series, and XY series templates are extremely wide and could really use some parameters. If the article will not be split, then at least make it look cohesive. —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 07:40, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

== Translations ==

I've added some translations. To help with future editing, I've marked all my translations with an HTML comment "Translation by user Dannyjenn" so we can identify that those are the ones I did. If anyone wants to change anything in mine, go ahead. (I took a lot of liberties. And I'm not fluent in Japanese. So if we're going for literal accuracy, mine are not the best.)

One thing I noticed is that whoever added the other translations used the Japanese names rather than English names. I see somebody brought this up on the discussion page several years ago, and I agree: we should use the English names in the translations, since they're English translations. That's how I did mine anyway (some of my wordplay relies on the English). Anyway, I think there needs to be a consensus, and everything on the page should be updated accordingly. (Because right now the ones I've added use English names, but the other ones all use Japanese names) [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] ([[User talk:Dannyjenn|talk]]) 16:04, 12 December 2023 (UTC)

== Mr. Mime Pun ==

In Professor Oak's lecture for Mr. Mime, he says "Bariyādo bariyā urimasu, bariyā dou?". "Bariyādo" and "bariyā dou" have to have been included in the same lecture on purpose, right? [[User:Goyangi|Goyangi]] ([[User talk:Goyangi|talk]]) 00:03, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

== More Translations ==

I helped out a little. can one of you do more? [[User:ObjectHorizons|ObjectHorizons]] ([[User talk:ObjectHorizons|talk]]) 20:41, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

[[File:Professor Oak poem.png|thumb|Professor Oak reciting a Pokémon senryū]]
'''Professor Oak's Pokémon Lecture''' (Japanese: '''オーキド博士のポケモン講座''' ''Doctor Okido's Pokémon Lecture'') is a segment featured at the end of {{aniseries|PTS|''Pokémon''}} episodes in Japan during {{aniseries|OS}}, {{aniseries|GS|''Gold and Silver''}}, and {{aniseries|AG|''Ruby and Sapphire''}}. It was featured from [[EP061]] to [[AG104]], and it was succeeded by the [[Pokémon Trivia Quiz]]. Professor Oak's lectures returned at the beginning of the {{aniseries|DP|''Diamond and Pearl'' series}} with [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]].

Generally, the lecture will start with {{an|Professor Oak}} using the reels of a {{wp|slot machine}} to show the silhouette of a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The display on his computer will switch to show the image of the Pokémon, surrounded by some general information. He will then show some clips of the Pokémon as he discusses it. After this, he will show a live example of the Pokémon in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]]. Frequently, he will (unintentionally) do something to upset the Pokémon which responds by attacking or hurt him shortly after. The lecture sometimes closes with Professor Oak reciting a Pokémon senryū. There are also some special lectures, such as those which will promote an upcoming {{pkmn|movie}} or discuss one of the characters.

'''Pokémon {{wp|senryū}}''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン川柳''') are {{wp|haiku}}-like poems about Pokémon or Pokémon-related themes. Composing them is a hobby of Professor Oak usually used to close his lectures. Senryū are generally light-hearted or humorous, and they consist of three lines with 17 or fewer {{wp|morae}}. Unlike haiku, senryū do not require a {{wp|kigo}} (season word). The art form was created in the {{wp|Edo era}} of real-world Japan by Senryū Karai (柄井川柳, 1718-1790).

The segment has never been used in the English dub and those based on it, though footage from the segments has been used in other English releases. Footage from the lecture of {{p|Alakazam}} was used to introduce the VHS release of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Segments for Slowpoke, Starmie, and Marowak were dubbed for a promotional VHS tape called "[[Pokémon Insider: The Video]]." Footage from the lecture of {{p|Entei}} was used on a promotional CD-ROM released in the UK to promote {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. Footage has also been used in promos for Kids' WB!, such as ''Kids' WB! Top 20 Pokéthon Countdown 1999'', and the footage of Oak pulling his computer's lever and the computer's display was also used in the ''[[Pikachu's Jukebox]]'' music video for "[[What Kind of Pokémon Are You?]]".

==Trivia==
* A precursor to this segment, "Pokémon Valuable Information", aired alongside [[EP052]] and [[EP053]], covering [[M01]].
* This segment was digitally animated from the beginning, even though proper episodes switched to digital coloring only in [[EP261]].
* Between [[EP061]] and [[AG090]], all but five Generation I and II Pokémon are given a lecture. The five omitted are {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}. Kadabra may have been omitted because of [[Pokémon controversies#Uri_Geller|the issues with]] {{wp|Uri Geller}}, Porygon and Porygon2 due to the [[EP038]] incident, and Mew and Mewtwo due to their status as the most unknown Legendary Pokémon in the animated series.
* The senryū for [[EP083]] is a reference to the Japanese proverb [[Wiktionary:じしんかみなりかじおやじ|じしんかみなりかじおやじ]] ''[[wiktionary:jishin kaminari kaji oyaji|jishin kaminari kaji oyaji]]''.

### Project [[Piplup (Pokémon)|Piplup]]
Project Piplup, known in Japan as *Project Pochama*, was an official, year-long campaign launched by The Pokémon Company in March 2021. Much like the earlier "Project Eevee," the goal was simple: celebrate one of the most beloved starters from the Sinnoh region and get fans hyped for the release of *Pokémon Brilliant Diamond* and *Pokémon Shining Pearl*.
The campaign didn't just dump products on shelves; it was really about putting the spotlight on Piplup’s personality. The team behind it launched a dedicated website and social media presence to document all kinds of activities, aiming to show off exactly why Piplup is such a fan favorite.
#### Campaign Highlights
The project stayed active throughout 2021 with a mix of digital content and physical events:
* **Digital Content & Media:** They released several high-quality music videos and short films. One of the biggest hits was the "It'll be fine!" (*Daijoubu!*) music video. It brought back a lot of nostalgia by using ending themes from the original *Diamond and Pearl* anime, featuring vocals from Megumi Toyoguchi, who voices Dawn in the Japanese version.
* **Merchandise & Promos:** There was a massive wave of limited-edition merch, ranging from clothes to stationery. Collectors were particularly focused on the "Project Piplup" promo card (Piplup #232/S-P), which became a staple in the TCG scene after being handed out during promotions at Lawson convenience stores and Pokémon Centers in Japan.
* **Viral Marketing:** The project had a sense of humor, too. One of the most popular series was "Piplup goes to Gold's Gym," where the mascot was shown working out, playing into the joke about Piplup wanting a stronger, steel-like body.
* **In-Game Integration:** As the campaign wrapped up in early 2022, it crossed over into the games. Players in Japan were able to visit Pokémon Centers to receive special in-game gifts for *Brilliant Diamond*, *Shining Pearl*, and *Legends: Arceus*, serving as a final celebration for the project.
#### Impact
Looking back, Project Piplup is often pointed to as a great example of how to build hype by focusing on a single, popular character rather than just a general brand. It kept the community engaged during the wait for new games and proved that Piplup still has a massive, dedicated fanbase. The success of the campaign even helped pave the way for its continued presence in the franchise, including its feature in the *Pokémon GO* Community Day Classic in 2026.

'''Gardevoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーナイト''' ''Sirnight'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gallade}}.

Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gardevoir''' using the [[Gardevoirite]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Valiant}} is said to be a future relative of Gardevoir and Gallade or a version of them from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Gardevoir is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A red, fin-like plate goes through its chest and extends from the back. A band of green on its chest extends to the center of the plate's front half and connects to its sleeve-like arms.

Gardevoir is able to see the future using its psychic powers. Its telekinetic powers enable it to lift objects and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes, distort dimensions, and fire {{m|Aura Sphere|a destructive energy wave}}. Gardevoir's power reaches its peak when protecting its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom it will protect with its life. This Pokémon typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but has occasionally been sighted in snowy regions. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Gardevoir often sleeps upright in order to protect people or Pokémon instantly at any moment.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> There is a rumor that if anyone sees Gardevoir moving its dress-like body in its sleep, they will never forget that beautiful sight. {{P|Iron Valiant}} shares a resemblance to Gardevoir and {{P|Gallade}}.

===Forms===
Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gardevoir.

As Mega Gardevoir, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow, resembling gloves. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. The plate in its chest has now split in two in the front, the halves extending to either side. The plate is said to be a physical manifestation of this Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power now that it is open.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gardevoir</ref>

===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Gardevoir is the spirit of a Pokémon who sacrificed herself for her {{p|Gengar|Trainer}}.

'''PAL''': ''This Psychic- and Fairy-type may look like a woman in a long dress, but there are both male and female Gardevoir out there! If you get one in battle, it'll use Reflect, creating a barrier that stops projectiles from hitting you and your allies. It won't block any of your shots, though, so feel free to fire all the projectiles you like! ''

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Gardevoir's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 159.
* Gardevoir's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Gallade}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Gardevoir and its evolutionary relatives have several unique attributes:
** Gardevoir and Gallade are the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 518.
*** Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade are the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 618.
** As of [[Generation VIII]], they are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Amorphous}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* The trophy descriptions for Gardevoir in both [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] point out the fact that Gardevoir can be both [[gender]]s, despite sporting a feminine-looking design. This is never brought up in any other Pokémon-related media.
* Gardevoir was featured in the ninth episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.
* Gardevoir (specifically the female one) has become controversial due to too many what fans would call "cringe" due to many "out of context" fanworks of her.
Gardevoir seems to be based on a feminine {{wp|principal dancer|principal}} {{wp|ballet dancer}} and a {{wp|knight}}, as well as the concepts of {{wp|chivalry}} and {{wp|empathy}}. The long, white frills surrouning its body resemble a floor-length dress, and its thin, pointed legs make it appear as if it is standing {{wp|Pointe technique|en pointe}} and wearing white {{wp|tights}}. Its hair is styled into a {{wp|bob cut}}, which resembles a {{wp|Barbute|barbuta helmet}}, and the short spikes behind its eyes resemble a {{wp|Masquerade ball|masquerade}} mask. Its split red plate resembles a {{wp|heart symbol}} and seems to pierce its chest, implying that its ability to sense emotions is even stronger than its pre-evolved forms since the plate is connected directly to its heart.

Gardevoir's {{t|Fairy}} type and protective nature over its {{pkmn|Trainer}} seem to be inspired by {{wp|guardian angel}}s, and its flowing, white body is reminiscent of {{wp|ghost}}s or {{wp|spirit}}s such as a {{wp|White Lady}}.

Its large head, minimal facial features, and frail physique are similar to ''anesama ningyō'', a type of {{wp|Japanese dolls|Japanese paper doll}}.

Gardevoir and its evolutionary line also bear a strong resemblance to the {{wp|elf|meadow elves}}, who were believed to possess magical powers and supernatural beauty. These beings were often ambivalent toward ordinary people, capable of either helping or hindering them. The word ''elf'' in {{wp|Germanic|Germanic}} languages originally meant "white being", which may explain why they were often depicted wearing white tights. By the end of the medieval period, the word ''elf'' was frequently supplanted by the French loanword ''fairy,'' which may explain its {{t|Fairy}} type.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gardevoir appears to be based on a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r wearing a large {{wp|ball gown}} and {{wp|evening glove}}s. It may also be based on an elven {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|mage}}, with its white cloak resembling a mage's robe and the red horns on its chest being a magic pendant or artifact, which serves as their source of power.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir may be a combination of the French words ''garde'' (guard) or ''garder'' (to guard) and ''devoir'' (duty), as well as ''voir'' (to see; referring to its psychic powers).

Sirnight may be a combination of ''{{wp|sir}}'' (an honorific for male knights), ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''sight'', ''{{wp|Syrinx}}'' (a nymph from ancient Greek mythology), and possibly a pun on さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("Come here, Knight").

== X & Y chapter titles ==

The first full-size volume of the X & Y chapter of Pokémon Adventures has been released in English, and the round titles match those received in the mini-volume releases. Can/Should they be readded now, or do we wait for future volume releases to do so? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:43, 13 January 2022 (UTC)
:I'll play the "just in case" card and say wait till the respective volumes come out. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 08:59, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
::Figure you would do this which I am prepared to follow as well since I am very patient and can wait it out. I would appreciate it if you left more titles from the invisible notes as much as possible so when I can verify the information it would be easier to deal with. The only slight change is the removal of the question mark in the title of [[PS558]] in the volume version, but unlike the Black and White chapters that were changed that is too minor to consider as a trivia note. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 07:30, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Hi, I created [[User:Hikaru Wazana/Template: Pokémon Adventures characters|this template here]] based on what exists for the anime, but I put the characters from Pokémon Adventures. Would that be of any use here? I did it because I noticed that it's a little complicated to find some pages and some "characters of the day" from the manga end up being left out. In a way, this manga also has an extensive chronology just like the anime, so maybe it deserves a template of its own.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 20:36, 02 February 2022 (UTC)

== Similarities between Arezu and Silver ==

Your statement is wrong for the aforementioned reason : the hairstyle, aka the swept bangs, is shared with Silver but not with Mars. I was just stating a fact, and besides nothing in game tells she's related to Mars either, meaning nothing rules out the possibility that she could even be a common ancestor to those two characters, Hisui and the ancient version of Johto aren't that far after all. ---- [[User talk:Braviapert|Bravi]][[Special:Contributions/Braviapert|apert]] 07:44, 28 April 2022 (UTC)

:Hello, it has been two weeks since I didn't get a reply from my answer. I would appreciate if I get a reply from this, thanks. ---- [[User talk:Braviapert|Bravi]][[Special:Contributions/Braviapert|apert]] 11:57, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
::I felt one was unnecessary, but if you really want it. The answer is still no. Arezu has a shared name origin, makes a blatant nod to her descendant being a member of Team Galactic, and even uses Bronzor and Purugly in battle. These are clear references to Mars, yet as far as I can recall, nothing connects her to Silver. If a similar hairstyle was all it took to be an ancestor, we might as well list everyone with similar haircuts, like Roark. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:31, 23 May 2022 (UTC)

:::Yeah the common ancestry with Roark is still a possibility due to the similar haircut. Yes, even a similar haircut can connect two characters in Legends Arceus, and besides, Arezu and Silver have the same outfit color : dark blue. So, you're still wrong about the fact they have nothing in common. -- [[User talk:Braviapert|Bravi]][[Special:Contributions/Braviapert|apert]] 16:02, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

You're strawmaning, the argument was not "they have nothing in common" but "they do not have enough in common". Saying that even a haircut is enough is oversimplifying. [[User:Gwen Stacy|Gwen Stacy]] ([[User talk:Gwen Stacy|talk]]) 19:06, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

:Well the wiki pages talk about resemblances between an ancestor and a descendant without going into details, and appearances are enough of a common thing when said that way. -- [[User talk:Braviapert|Bravi]][[Special:Contributions/Braviapert|apert]] 23:18, 22 August 2022 (UTC)

== Casey Raboot ==

Hey. I was wondering if you agree that now is a good time to move [[User:Rahl/Casey's Raboot]] since it got a nickname.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 11:22, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

== JN126 title ==

To me, that title seems to say "dream(s)". Why do you think it says "Mew"? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:48, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
:The summaries formatted the title that way. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:28, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
::Okay. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:42, 9 September 2022 (UTC)
:::The title contains the word "yume", though, which means "dream". Nothing in regards to Mew. Hence why I'm inclined to agree with the user who changed it back. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:54, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
::::The kanji says "yume", the furigana says "Mew". It's saying that Mew is Goh's dream. Using furigana to have a character say something when they mean something else is an incredibly common thing in Japanese media. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 19:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

==Pokemon Adventures updates==
After the most recent volume release which for the third time in a row it still had the original English Titles, I can say there is a higher chance that VIZ is keeping this titles for the main volume releases. Now excluding the obvious case with Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire getting new chapter names (I had already expected to happen prior to the first volume release, it might be something you can reconsider since it will help decrease the workload. Any minor title changes for a chapter two can easily be updated for that chapter page link only as well as the new chapters that were not part of the original mini-volume release. The only unique case I did with the removal of the Question mark at the end of the the title ''What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes'' was just remove it from the list of rounds page for that chapter, nor did I add that in as trivia like with the changed titles from the Black and White chapter since it was not trivia worthy to mention the ? symbol. Only the original mini-volume release will now carry that symbol.

On another note I am thinking of changing the other volumes mentioned in Trivia into "Other Volumes" with a description for other volume releases with pretty simple wording. The volumes mentioned in the first chapter of the Black and White chapter serve a good example to this since my original plan years ago was to list the other volumes and the mini-volumes released in Japan since the X and Y chapter started can also be listed there too, since it is too much work to modify a template to include all the volumes and could get confusing. I am best capable of modifying templates carefully, but not creating the coding itself.

Whatever your choice I will abide by it and in regards to the first paragraph this will be the only time I will bring the subject up, but just remember it would make an easier workload without having to check all the links since I use the "What links here" button to monitor links to find the ones that need updating. Also on the side I have been helping taking care of adding the disambiguation page for those chapters so far. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 21:29, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
:There's always a chance of being wrong, and that's a risk I'd rather avoid. As for your second point, I don't really mind. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 21:45, 17 September 2022 (UTC)
:Okay, but just remember the first time it happened during one of the Black and White chapters, it was easily fixable, but I promise not to let that interfere when I verify the chapter the next time it comes out. On the side one of the advantages of the whole digital releases is it allows me to access it anytime of the day instead of waiting for my Amazon delivery to arrive in regards to the physical release (which is pretty much what I currently using to help with the Sword & Shield English releases). One last note so you are aware of it is the source of the eISBN codes for the English digital releases comes directly from VIZ's website, by checking the digital section for that volume, which is where I get the code for it. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 17:38, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
==Pages to approval/delletion==
Hello, I'm reviewing some pages I created and I wanted to know your opinion about them. The one for the Sun and Moon tournament tried to follow the pattern that is already used in anime tournaments and created a template where the main characters of the manga would be.

The Sword and Shield rivals I wanted to know they might be useful. They are not ready yet but if they are not of interest to the staff I would like to ask for their deletion. Finally, I would like to request the deletion of the Gym Leaders Tournament page.

== Manga files ==

Hi, I'm writing to you because abcboy told me you are the head of the manga project.

I need a favor, the first thing is that if you don't have Discord, I need to be able to talk to you in some social network, I need to give me images of Ash Ketchum of his appearances in the manga, but I need them to be full body images, that is frontal with a good posture.

I can show you examples of what I'm looking for, I need them urgently, it's for a project I want to do about the character as a farewell, I've created an account here and I use a translator just to talk to you n.n--[[User:Diegoelzorro|'''DiegoelZorro:''']][[User Talk:Diegoelzorro|'''The Z of wisdom''']] 12:24, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

:And do you know any link where you can see all the manga based on the anime, both series and movies? I only know this place [https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject%3A%22Poke%CC%81mon+(Fictitious+characters)%22 Internet Archive] but not all of them are here.

== About my trivia about liko ==

Isn't Liko the first main female character to have a shoujo manga? I checked all the other main female characters they don't seem to have one, I know Chloe is in a shoujo manga but she wasn't considered a main character. Can it be put back? ([[User:CuteSylveon42|CuteSylveon42]] ([[User talk:CuteSylveon42|talk]]) 04:06, 7 May 2023 (UTC))

::First of all, don't add something that was removed back without an actual discussion first. Judging from the timestamps, you didn't even give me an hour to reply.

==Upcoming Sword and Shield release note==
Just to let you know the product summary of the upcoming English release of the Sword & Shield Volume 7 on VIZ's website has the English name for Henry's Mr. Rime being listed as Kayne, an obvious reference to "cane". As the volume is still around 3 months away I have no intention of touching it beforehand, but I wanted to give you the heads up to this.-[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 23:39, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

==Project tags==
Hello, I noticed there is an inconsistency with adding project tags (e.g. project manga, project TCG) onto the bottom of pages. The Project Manga tag requires the article to be completed while project TCG and CharacterDex does not and is required to be placed on all related TCG and CharacterDex articles, regardless of article completion. Is there any particular reason for this? This has caused some confusion to me as it feels some tags clash against each other such as the double project notice with Manga and CharacterDex as the Project Manga notice requires the article to be completed but the CharacterDex does not, especially with characters from mangas with both those project tags.

== PASV01 ==

Hey, I saw you deleted the page for PASV01 with the reasoning that we don't make pages for them until they're collected in a volume. That's news to me, and I was wondering why that's a rule. If the chapter has been published in a magazine, that's reason enough for us to start covering it, right?

Also, as an aside, I'd like to know if there's a way to review/retrieve previous revisions of a deleted page. If the rule is that PASV01 can't exist in the mainspace yet, I'd at least like to preserve the work put into that page in my userspace until it can be mainspaced. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:08, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
:I restored the page for you, Storm. It's free for you to move into your userspace (but I certainly agree that being published should be enough to start coverage.) ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:13, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
::Alright, I admit that outright deletion was jumping the gun. I apologize. I tend to make rash decisions when it's late at night and I haven't slept. As for not making pages, this is something we've been doing for years now (if you check, notice how I've only made pages for chapters once their respective volumes come out). It's mostly a precautionary thing. Pokespe's release schedule is...complicated, (though admittedly it's become less so over the last decade) and to ensure we know exactly where each chapter goes, it's best to just wait until they're properly collected. It saves us the headache of having to move and re-link pages multiple times over. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:09, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I've been following Spe for over a decade so I understand how complicated its release schedule can be. It's been pretty consistently one chapter a month (in chronological order) since B2W2 ended, but they could throw us a curveball and start publishing half-chapters each month or something, so I suppose it's safer to wait. I just got excited because it's the first chapter of a new story arc, lol. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:45, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

==Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire chapter note==
After checking out the new title for the volume version of [[PS594]] I think that much like Japan the VIZ volume will also add new English titles to the volume releases, so I am thinking for [[List of chapters in the Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire arc of Pokémon Adventures]] once this is confirmed in January 2024, then a small note about the chapter names for the original mini-volume release should be added either above the template or as trivia.

On a side note as the new updated template at the top of each chapter page now lists all known volume/mini-volumes for those chapters, on every chapter page connected to a mini-volume release, I have finished purging all the remaining trivia note-based postings of the original mini-volume numbers from this pages with the appropriate actions based the current setting of each page, as my previous project with it is no longer necessary. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:30, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

== ISBN ==

Hi. I would like to know if we have a standard for how to display ISBNs on Bulbapedia. Should we use hyphens (-) or not? If so, should we use the pattern that's in the manga or should we try to find out the registration group, registrant, and publication elements? Also, should we use ISBN-10, ISBN-13, or both? There's a 2011 line in [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Manga]] that says "For ISBN numbers, ISBN-10 is preferred over ISBN-13 when available, however, if only the ISBN-13 is known, it is acceptable to be added to the article.", but that seems really outdated.

Personally, I think ISBN-13 should be the standard, at least for anything released from 2007 onward, and maybe ISBN-10 for older things. Although, it should be noted that any ISBN-10 can be easily converted to ISBN-13. Also, no hyphens. It should also be noted that "The use of hyphens or spaces has no lexical significance and is purely to enhance readability.", according to the ISBN Users' Manual. --[[User:rafael.zinho|rafael.zinho]] ([[User talk:rafael.zinho|talk]]) 04:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

== Question ==

Hi. Before asking my question, I’d like to explain why I made the changes. 
First, as you know, Kalos War is a fan term. Unless it is very significant, like how the fandom refers to Legendary Pokémon groups, I think we should avoid using fan terms. Additionally, this war might not be the only one that the region has experienced throughout its entire history. Thus, for those reasons, I reckon “the Kalos war occurred” should be changed to “a war occurred in Kalos”. 
Second, I replaced the [[History of the Pokémon world#Prehistory|image of the ultimate weapon]] because it is already present on its [[Ultimate weapon|own page]], while the war’s image is not currently in use. However, if its aspect ratio affects the aesthetic, I’ll be fine with that. 
Third, the ''[[Kalos#Dated history|Dated history]]'' section looks a little plain, and the war’s image fits well with the section. So, I thought it'd effectively serve for the purpose of illustration. 
Back to my question, could you please explain why the changes I made on the two pages were reverted? [[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 17:57, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
:Your edits were reverted because you uploaded and added an image taken from the recent leaks. People are currently trying to discuss how to deal with the leaked content and it’d be appreciated if people didn’t touch it until said discussion is done. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 20:43, 19 October 2024 (UTC)
::Oh, all right. Since the image was actually used in the cutscene, I thought it wouldn’t be inappropriate. I won’t do anything related to that image, but I have some questions now.
::*Changing the phrase to “a war occurred in Kalos” is still acceptable as it’s not associated with the leaks, yes?
::*What are we going to do with things related to past leaked/prototype/deleted contents? They’re all over the site, such as how [[History of the Pokémon world#Timeline|this table]] states that the Hoenn and Kanto games take place at the same time, which was from a deleted tweet.
::*Where exactly can I see the final decision regarding the Teraleak, for I'd like to know eventually whether images from cutscenes and finalized concept art will be accepted or not?
::*Once everything has been settled, should we create a page about the leaks? They won’t be about the stolen information, but how the events occurred and affected the fandom, plus emphasize how people should consider unreleased and deleted contents as non-canon as those are only WIP.
::Thanks. [[User:Fawfaw|Fawfaw]] ([[User talk:Fawfaw|talk]]) 18:25, 21 October 2024 (UTC)

== Latias and Latios ==

Why did you revert the additional inspiration of Latias and Latios's names I added? I know that for now it's better to not talk about the leak, but since it's just speculation on the trivia section then it's not really obvious how do we know/suspect it.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:38, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
:And now you're rolling back the addition about possible inspiration for the Hoenn Elite Four... I thought the trivia sections were for things that aren't necessarily proven but seem very likely. Asking for 'actual evidence' feels dismissive because the evidence is already explained in the trivia bullet points. All four members match well with characters from the book, and on top of that, Ever Grande City resembles Paradise City from the book—it’s even described as 'paradise' in the game.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 23:20, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

'''Jigglypuff''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プリン''' ''Purin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Igglybuff}} when [[level]]ed up [[friendship Evolution|with high friendship]] and evolves into {{p|Wigglytuff}} when exposed to a [[Moon Stone]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Scream Tail}} is said to be an ancient relative of Jigglypuff or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Jigglypuff is a pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body. It has pointed ears with black insides and large, blue eyes. It has small, stubby arms and slightly longer feet. On top of its head is a curled tuft of fur. Its body is filled with air, and, as seen in [[Pokémon Stadium]], Jigglypuff can deflate until it is flat. It can float by drawing extra air into its body, as demonstrated in [[Super Smash Bros.]]

Jigglypuff can use its eyes to mesmerize opponents. It has a large lung capacity, exceeding most other Pokémon. Once it has an opponent's attention, Jigglypuff will inflate its lungs and sing a soothing and mysterious lullaby. This melody can cause anyone who listens to become sleepy. If the opponent resists falling asleep, Jigglypuff will endanger its life by continuing to sing until it runs out of air. It will continue to sing until the opponent is asleep. It can adjust the wavelength of its voice to match the brain waves of someone in a deep sleep. This helps ensure drowsiness in its opponents. Its {{wp|vocal range}} exceeds 12 octaves, but its skill depends on the individual. Its song varies by region, and it sounds like shouting in some areas. Jigglypuff is mostly found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|lush green plains and grassy meadows}}. {{p|Scream Tail}} shares a resemblance to Jigglypuff. It is believed Scream Tail is Jigglypuff's ancestor from 1,000,000,000 years ago. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Jigglypuff is known to sing even when sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Jigglypuff evolves from {{p|Igglybuff}} and evolves into {{p|Wigglytuff}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Jigglypuff (anime)]]=====
Jigglypuff debuted in ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''. From this episode through the end of the [[original series]], it followed {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, intent on performing its trademark song without causing its audience to fall asleep. It rarely, if ever, succeeded. Jigglypuff would scribble all over the faces of anyone who fell asleep after hearing the song.

After [[Johto]], Jigglypuff started to only appear very rarely, being featured in one early {{aniseries|AG}} [[AG039|episode]]. After a long absence, Jigglypuff reappeared in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', where it was seen sleeping on top of the plane that Ash and {{ashcl}} were flying on back to [[Alola]], and made semi-regular appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}.

==Trivia==
* Out of all Pokémon, Jigglypuff has the largest number of [[core series]] games in which it can be encountered and {{pkmn2|caught}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. The only core series game in which Jigglypuff cannot be found in the wild is {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
* Jigglypuff is typically depicted in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]] and [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork with green eyes and tea rose pink fur, more closely resembling its {{Shiny}} form. It also appeared with green eyes in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.
* Due to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Purple Jigglypuff oversight|an oversight]], Jigglypuff appears purple (instead of pink) in the battle against Gengar in the intro of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]] (including the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese version]]). This is a leftover from the earlier Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}}, in which two purple Pokémon battle instead, Gengar and {{p|Nidorino}} (which is also seen in the international Pokémon Red).
* Jigglypuff and its evolutionary relatives share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Qwilfish}} and {{p|Drifloon}}. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
* Bears a striking resemblance to [[Kirby Wiki|Kirby]].

===Origin===
Jigglypuff seems to be based on a {{wp|balloon}} due to its inflatable body. Its soft fur and singing ability may be based on {{wp|Stuffed toy|plush toys}} that play music to help children fall asleep. Its round shape resembles a {{wp|powder puff}} or a {{wp|Profiterole|cream puff}}, and its pink color, rubbery skin, and ability to learn {{m|Bounce}} are similar to a {{wp|Bouncy ball|rubber ball}}. It may also be inspired by the mythical {{wp|moon rabbit}} due to its evolved form {{p|Wigglytuff}}'s large ears; {{t|Fairy}} type, which tends to be associated with the moon; and the fact that it evolves using a [[Moon Stone]].

====Name origin====
Jigglypuff may be a combination of ''jiggly'' and ''puff'' (to swell in size; a burst of air).

Purin may refer to プリン ''{{wp|Crème caramel|purin}}'' (pudding; referring to its soft body). It may also involve プチ ''puchi'' (petite) and ''pretty''.

'''Bulbapedia''' is a community-driven, English-language online encyclopedia about [[Pokémon]] that runs on the {{wp|MediaWiki}} software. The idea for Bulbapedia was first conceived in late 2004 when {{u|evkl}} proposed transforming [[Bulbagarden]] into a user-edited {{wp|wiki}} format. The project, set up by {{u|Zhen Lin}} on December 21, 2004, and officially launched on February 14, 2005, was spearheaded by {{u|Archaic}}, with evkl serving as Bulbapedia's first {{bp|Editor-in-Chief}}. With support from the Bulbagarden community, Bulbapedia was developed as a comprehensive platform for documenting all aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==History==
Bulbapedia's roots trace back to the early 2000s, when [[Anenga (person)|Chris Kaleiki]], the original founder of BulbaGarden, experimented with creating a Pokémon wiki using Tikiwiki software in 2000. Though his work did not directly evolve into Bulbapedia, it laid the conceptual groundwork for the site's eventual realization. Kaleiki, known online as Bulbasaur and Anenga, moved on from the [[Pokémon fandom]] in late 2001, leaving Bulbagarden.

Starting with a small group of dedicated contributors, Bulbapedia reached 1,000 articles within three months of its launch. The wiki's rapid growth coincided with the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2006, helping establish Bulbagarden's prominent position in the Pokémon fandom. By 2008, Bulbapedia had grown to become the largest English-language Pokémon wiki. It has also {{bp|References in literature|gained recognition}} in academic circles, supporting research in linguistics, media studies, and game design. Its comprehensive documentation has made it a valuable resource for scholarly analysis of the Pokémon franchise.

The site's visual identity and technical infrastructure have evolved significantly since its launch. In 2009, Bulbapedia received its first major overhaul as part of {{bp|Project Overgrow}}'s Phase III, the Bulbawiki Improvement. The front page featured an "Ongoing work" section with specific tasks like categorizing pages, writing wanted articles, and a "Current events" area. In 2010, a "Junior Administrator" position was introduced, providing new staff members with opportunities to learn responsibilities before full integration into the team. A major redesign of the main page in November 2011 introduced its current distinctive "roundy" style, featuring a selected article of the month, improved navigation, and organized browsing categories with dedicated icons for different content areas, including Anime, Games, Manga, and TCG.

Bulbapedia has encountered recurring server issues over the years. These issues have been mitigated through server upgrades, as well as the {{bp|userspace policy}}, instituted in 2008 to encourage less editing of the userspace in order to reduce server stress and to encourage more mainspace contributions. The servers would also be locked during major news events or big game releases that would drive high traffic to the site. In recent years, this practice has been avoided without significant problems, and has been successful at allowing regular users to contribute and add new information without significant downtime.

==Content==
[[File:Bulletin Board.png|thumb|200px|Bulbapedia's {{bp|Bulletin Board}} in December 2024]]
Bulbapedia covers information across all aspects of the Pokémon franchise. Early on {{bp|Projects}} were set up, each focusing on different content areas, including the {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|animation}}, {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, and {{pkmn|manga}}.

{{bp|Featured articles}}, recognized for their high quality and completeness, could originally be {{bp|Featured article candidates|nominated and voted on}} by the editing community. New nominations have not been considered since 2010, though other practices have been adopted to acknowledge quality work and contributions from the community, such as featuring content updates in the {{bp|What's Growing On|What's Growing On?}} newsletter, including tasks completed on the {{bp|Bulletin Board}}.

To further enrich the encyclopedia and engage the community, Bulbapedia has hosted various initiatives to encourage user contributions, such as the {{bp|Christmas Improvement Drive}} in 2010, which invited editors to improve underdeveloped articles. Prizes, such as pre-orders for {{game|Black and White|s}}, were awarded for exceptional efforts. These events serve as opportunities to enhance the wiki while motivating contributors to participate more actively.

In 2011, another Christmas improvement drive, the {{bp|Festive Frontier}}, challenged editors to complete tasks in five categories: expanding, fixing, and creating articles, upgrading images, and writing featured content. Participants submitted entries in at least three categories, competing for Pokémon games or movies as prizes. By encouraging constructive contributions and offering rewards, the Festive Frontier aimed to improve wiki quality while fostering community spirit during the holiday season.
{{-}}

==Community and outreach==
The wiki has continued to evolve with time while keeping the community-driven model as its cornerstone. This includes moving from early communication platforms like AIM and Skype to [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Discord], enabling better coordination among contributors and streamlining content development. The staff recruitment process has also shifted from individual nominations to organized drives in conjunction with Bulbagarden's other projects. Bulbapedia also maintains an active social media presence, particularly on {{wp|X (social media platform)|X}} and {{wp|Bluesky}}, where it shares news updates, Pokémon trivia, and engages with the community. These platforms serve as additional channels for highlighting new content, celebrating community contributions, and sharing notable developments in the Pokémon franchise.

Since its inception, Bulbapedia has maintained connections with other Pokémon wikis through the [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], featuring sister wikis in eight languages, including [[PokéWiki]] (German), [[Pokémon Central Wiki]] (Italian), and [[Poképédia]] (French). The site is also a founding member of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] (NIWA), a network of fan-run wikis dedicated to various Nintendo franchises like ''Super Mario'', ''The Legend of Zelda'', and ''Metroid''. Integration with other Bulbagarden services has been consistent throughout its history, with the Main Page featuring links to [[Bulbagarden forums]], [[Bulbagarden Archives]], [[Bulbanews]], [[Bulbakaki|Oekaki]], and IRC over time.

'''Gardevoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーナイト''' ''Sirnight'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gallade}}.

Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gardevoir''' using the [[Gardevoirite]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Valiant}} is said to be a future relative of Gardevoir and Gallade or a version of them from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Gardevoir is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A red, fin-like plate goes through its chest and extends from the back. A band of green on its chest extends to the center of the plate's front half and connects to its sleeve-like arms.

Gardevoir is able to see the future using its psychic powers. Its telekinetic powers enable it to lift objects and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes, distort dimensions, and fire {{m|Aura Sphere|a destructive energy wave}}. Gardevoir's power reaches its peak when protecting its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom it will protect with its life. This Pokémon typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, but has occasionally been sighted in snowy regions. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Gardevoir often sleeps upright in order to protect people or Pokémon instantly at any moment.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> There is a rumor that if anyone sees Gardevoir moving its dress-like body in its sleep, they will never forget that beautiful sight. {{P|Iron Valiant}} shares a resemblance to Gardevoir and {{P|Gallade}}.

===Forms===
Gardevoir can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Gardevoir.

As Mega Gardevoir, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow, resembling gloves. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. The plate in its chest has now split in two in the front, the halves extending to either side. The plate is said to be a physical manifestation of this Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power now that it is open.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gardevoir</ref>

==Trivia==
* Gardevoir's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 159.
* Gardevoir's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats are the reverse of {{p|Gallade}}'s, while their other stats are identical.
* Gardevoir and its evolutionary relatives have several unique attributes:
** Gardevoir and Gallade are the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 518.
*** Mega Gardevoir and Mega Gallade are the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 618.
** As of [[Generation VIII]], they are the only Pokémon that are in the {{egg|Amorphous}} and {{egg|Human-Like}} [[Egg Group]]s.
* The trophy descriptions for Gardevoir in both [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] point out the fact that Gardevoir can be both [[gender]]s, despite sporting a feminine-looking design. This is never brought up in any other Pokémon-related media.
* Gardevoir was featured in the ninth episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.
* Gardevoir is the most simped for due to its human design.

===Origin===
Gardevoir seems to be based on a feminine {{wp|principal dancer|principal}} {{wp|ballet dancer}} and a {{wp|knight}}, as well as the concepts of {{wp|chivalry}} and {{wp|empathy}}. The long, white frills surrounding its body resemble a floor-length dress, and its thin, pointed legs make it appear as if it is standing {{wp|Pointe technique|en pointe}} and wearing white {{wp|tights}}. Its hair is styled into a {{wp|bob cut}}, which resembles a {{wp|Barbute|barbuta helmet}}, and the short spikes behind its eyes resemble a {{wp|Masquerade ball|masquerade}} mask. Its split red plate resembles a {{wp|heart symbol}} and seems to pierce its chest, implying that its ability to sense emotions is even stronger than its pre-evolved forms since the plate is connected directly to its heart.

Gardevoir's {{t|Fairy}} type and protective nature over its {{pkmn|Trainer}} seem to be inspired by {{wp|guardian angel}}s, and its flowing, white body is reminiscent of {{wp|ghost}}s or {{wp|spirit}}s such as a {{wp|White Lady}}.

Its large head, minimal facial features, and frail physique are similar to ''anesama ningyō'', a type of {{wp|Japanese dolls|Japanese paper doll}}.

Gardevoir and its evolutionary line also bear a strong resemblance to the {{wp|elf|meadow elves}}, who were believed to possess magical powers and supernatural beauty. These beings were often ambivalent toward ordinary people, capable of either helping or hindering them. The word ''elf'' in {{wp|Germanic|Germanic}} languages originally meant "white being", which may explain why they were often depicted wearing white tights. By the end of the medieval period, the word ''elf'' was frequently supplanted by the French loanword ''fairy,'' which may explain its {{t|Fairy}} type.

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Gardevoir appears to be based on a {{wp|ballroom dance}}r wearing a large {{wp|ball gown}} and {{wp|evening glove}}s. It may also be based on an elven {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|mage}}, with its white cloak resembling a mage's robe and the red horns on its chest being a magic pendant or artifact, which serves as their source of power.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir may be a combination of the French words ''garde'' (guard) or ''garder'' (to guard) and ''devoir'' (duty), as well as ''voir'' (to see; referring to its psychic powers).

Sirnight may be a combination of ''{{wp|sir}}'' (an honorific for male knights), ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''sight'', ''{{wp|Syrinx}}'' (a nymph from ancient Greek mythology), and possibly a pun on さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("Come here, Knight").

'''Amoonguss''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モロバレル''' ''Morobareru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Foongus}} starting at [[level]] 39.

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Brute Bonnet}} is said to be either an ancient relative of Amoonguss or a version of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Amoonguss is a {{wp|mushroom}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a huge, gray, stem-like body; fierce-looking eyes; a tiny mouth with large pink lips; and two arms. It has large caps on its head and arms that resemble {{i|Poké Ball}}s. The cap on its head has a few warts.

Amoonguss is a carnivore, and uses the Poké Ball-like patterns on its arms to lure in prey, although it doesn't work too well in most cases. It also blows poisonous spores at its opponents. These spores can grow into mushrooms wherever they land if they are not washed off quickly. Amoonguss rarely moves, preferring to stand near any dropped Poké Balls. Amoonguss prefers damp places, and can be found mainly in long grass with only their mushroom cap head protruding from it, generally close to water. {{p|Brute Bonnet}} bears a resemblance to Amoonguss.

===Evolution===
Amoonguss evolves from {{p|Foongus}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Amoonguss, along with its pre-evolved form, is similar to {{p|Voltorb}} and {{p|Electrode}} in that it resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}}.
** Amoonguss's {{Shiny}} form's coloration is reminiscent of a [[Master Ball]]. It shares this trait with its pre-evolved form.
* Amoonguss and its pre-evolved form share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Shroomish}}, and {{p|Breloom}}. They are all known as the Mushroom Pokémon.
** All six Pokémon also share a common [[move]], {{m|Spore}}, and [[Ability]], {{a|Effect Spore}}.
** In [[Pokémon GO]], they all give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]], {{p|Foongus}}, Amoonguss, {{p|Ferroseed}}, and {{p|Ferrothorn}} were all designed by the same designer.<ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

===Origin===
Amoonguss may draw inspiration from ''{{wp|Amanita muscaria}}'' or mushrooms of the ''{{wp|Agaricus}}'' genus. Like {{p|Voltorb}} and its {{p|Electrode|evolved form}}, the idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.

====Name origin====
Amoonguss may be a combination of ''{{wp|amanita}}'' (a genus of mushroom) and ''fungus'' or ''humongous'' (huge). Together with {{p|Foongus|its pre-Evolution}}, their names are a corruption of the phrase, "Fungus among us." This is confirmed by Ali the [[Student (Trainer class)|Student]] in [[North Province (Area Two)]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

Morobareru is a combination of もろに ''moro ni'' (completely) and ばれる ''bareru'' (slang for "[for a secret] to be exposed"), referring to how it no longer convincingly looks like a {{i|Poké Ball}}.<ref name=ND205/>

There is a game called Among Us and fans commonly compare this Pokémon to the said game.

I noticed that Orthworm was labelled '''''096''''' in the [[Rotom Pokédex (anime)]] while [[Drowzee (Pokémon)|Drowzee]] is actually 096, and Orthworm is actually '''''968.''''' [[User:ObjectHorizons|ObjectHorizons]] ([[User talk:ObjectHorizons|talk]]) 16:22, 24 May 2026 (UTC)

==Blurb==


The latest Nidothing livestream has been cut short due to a microphone malfunction, so Dot reluctantly accompanies Liko and Roy into Steelbound Town to find new equipment. She also picks up a vintage microphone to use as a video prop, but it’s not hers for long—a wild Tinkatink takes the mic and fashions it into a hammer for itself. Later, Tinkatink appears on the Brave Olivine to proudly show Dot the hammer, but it also gets accused of taking Orla’s newly bought scrap metal! As Dot comes to the little Pokémon’s defense, the real culprit finally appears…

==Plot==
With the [[Brave Olivine]] still heading for [[Paldea]], [[Dot]] does a Nidothing livestream. One of her commenters says that they can't hear her, and as she tries to fix the problem, the computer ends up falling apart, leaving the video on standby. [[Liko]] comes running to Dot's door to make sure she's okay. Upon opening the door, Liko covers her eyes at the sight of Dot coming out of the Nidothing costume, trying to make herself believe that Nidothing is Nidothing and that there is nobody inside her. A dejected Dot decides to cancel the livestream.

[[Friede]] decides to make [[Steelbound Town]] their next stop to stock up on supplies, which thrills [[Orla]] since she is running low on iron for ship repairs. Liko asks about the town, and [[Mollie]] says that it's a place famous for industrial products, which include machines. Dot contacts Liko, requesting a new mic if she's going; a condenser-type unidirectional cardioid. Liko doesn't know about any of what Dot pointed out and suggests that Dot should come too. Dot becomes nervous, but [[Roy]] thinks it's a good idea. However, [[Murdock]] insists that Dot already has so much to do, making Dot shudder anxiously. The ship arrives outside Steelbound Town, and as everyone goes outside to see it, Dot comes out having decided to go out shopping.

[[File:Dot meets Tinkatink.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot meeting Tinkatink]]
In the town, Dot, Liko, and Roy get the mic Dot needs from a store. Dot walks the two around, eventually arriving at the specialty shop district. Liko and Roy decide to check it out, and Dot simply smiles and complies. As Liko looks at an old TV and Roy checks out an old radio, Dot obtains a pink microphone to use as a prop for her videos. Dot then notices that Liko and Roy are gone. She takes out her phone to call them but realizes that they'll think ''she'' got lost if she calls them. She soon comes across a {{p|Tinkatink}} trying to take a worker's iron hammer, despite his pleas not to. The tearful Tinkatink runs towards him, but trips over a rock, dropping her hammer. Dot hands Tinkatink her hammer before the {{pkmn|category|Metalsmith Pokémon}} becomes amazed seeing the pink microphone she got, taking it and hitting it with her hammer to Dot's dismay. She scans Tinkatink with her Pokédex, realizing that Tinkatink is trying to turn her new mic into a new hammer. After watching Tinkatink for a bit, Dot hears Liko and Roy calling for her. She looks at Tinkatink before heading to their location, which doesn't go unnoticed by the Metalsmith Pokémon. With Dot meeting up with the two, Liko thinks Dot got lost, to which the latter says that ''they'' were the ones who were lost. Tinkatink finishes her new hammer and is satisfied with the results, then runs in the same direction Dot went.

The kids arrive at the ship, where Murdock immediately runs over and throws his arms around Dot, having been incredibly worried about anything happening to her. As they head back inside, something is seen tunneling in the ground below them. [[Ludlow]] senses its presence, saying that the waves are calm, but a storm is approaching. {{p|Maushold}} is hanging out in the hold when that same figure scares them away. It then proceeds to devour the iron bars stored in the hold.

Later, Orla is excited to tend to the ship with all that iron she bought. However, her excitement to turns to shock at the sight of all the iron ransacked. She demands to know who is responsible, and Dot thinks she just might know. Tinkatink arrives on the ship, happy with her new hammer provided by Dot. However, she runs into {{p|Muk}}. Both of them get frightened by each other, with Tinkatink running away in fear and Muk collapsing. Running into the engine room, Tinkatink gets frightened even more at the sight of {{p|Slugma}} in the furnace and {{p|Carkol}} looking at her, running away from them too. Dot sees a hole in the ship made by some kind of Pokémon but has doubts that it was made by Tinkatink. Arriving in a dark hallway, Tinkatink gets scared and runs away from a scary-looking shadow around the corner, which turns out to be Orla's {{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Metagross}} playing together. Dot hears Tinkatink's voice, catching the Metalsmith Pokémon as she comes down the stairs. Dot asks Tinkatink why she's here, and Tinkatink shows Dot her new hammer, which elates her that she likes it. Knowing what Tinkatink's true intentions were, Dot thinks that another Pokémon was behind the iron being destroyed.

Liko and Roy arrive, and Dot introduces Tinkatink to them as someone who likes to make hammers out of iron. Murdock arrives to hear this, getting the idea that Tinkatink was the one responsible for Orla's iron going missing. Tinkatink stands still nervously before running off prompting everyone to run after it. Running from Roy and Liko, Tinkatink runs into {{TP|Murdock|Rockruff}} in the meeting room before Liko goes around back. Roy tries and fails to catch Tinkatink in the meeting room, and Tinkatink jumps off Liko's back to get away from her. Friede notices this, Liko telling him that Murdock thinks Tinkatink is the culprit. Heading into the hold, Tinkatink runs into Mollie and Orla as the others arrive as well. An overwhelmed Tinkatink starts to tear up, leaving the others confused. Dot rushes in and defends Tinkatink, telling the crew that the Metalsmith Pokémon was only trying to find her so she could show her the new hammer. She reveals that she found a large hole in the ship that was made by something bigger, the real culprit. Friede enters and agrees with Dot, saying that the iron wasn't stolen; it was ''eaten''. The scraps left behind show bite marks, and Tinkatink are not known to eat iron. Dot reassures Tinkatink that everything is fine now that they know the truth.

[[File:Tinkatink facing Orthworm.png|thumb|250px|Tinkatink facing Orthworm]]
Friede is ready to reveal the true culprit behind the missing iron, who comes crashing in and reveals itself as an {{p|Orthworm}}. Liko scans it with her [[Pokédex]] just as it makes a lunge for the group, forcing them to move out of the way. Orthworm snatches up Tinkatink's hammer before burrowing through the floor. Seeing Tinkatink's tears, Dot knows how precious that hammer is to her and jumps into the hole with Tinkatink to get it back. As Dot arrives outside the ship, it suddenly starts falling over, Orthworm having cut the anchor. The Earthworm Pokémon then swallows Tinkatink's hammer and taunts the group. {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}} uses Water Gun, but Orthworm burrows underground to avoid it. It then lunges at the group, who jump out of the way. Friede and Charizard catch the ship's cut line as it is about to fall over. As the others come outside, Friede tells Dot to just focus on getting Tinkatink's hammer back. With that, Dot pulls back the hair covering her eyes ready to take on Orthworm, who emerges from the ground. Quaxly uses Water Gun, and Orthworm dodges before taunting Tinkatink. Seeing Orthworm slither around the wet part of the ground, Dot gets an idea, having Quaxly use Water Gun to draw it in. As Dot keeps this up, Friede and Liko can tell that she has some kind of plan. As Quaxly's Water Gun creates a circle of wet sand that traps Orthworm, Liko figures it out, the others knowing that Orthworm rusts if it gets wet. As Orthworm charges, Quaxly uses Pound, which hits the Earthworm Pokémon hard and makes it spit out Tinkatink's hammer. Tinkatink leaps and grabs her hammer before {{m|slam}}ming it into Orthworm, defeating it and forcing it to retreat. Dot praises Tinkatink, who lifts her hammer in the air triumphantly.
[[File:Dot and Tinkatink.png|thumb|250px|left|Dot hugging Tinkatink]]
At sunset, Liko and Roy apologize to Tinkatink for chasing her around earlier before bidding her farewell. The kids are ready to head back inside, but Dot stops in place, with Tinkatink starting to tear up again. Dot isn't sure what to say at times like these, feeling like Tinkatink wants to come with her. Quaxly hands Dot a {{i|Poké Ball}}, and Dot asks Tinkatink if she would mind being caught by her. Tinkatink is thrilled and smacks the button with her hammer. Successfully catching Tinkatink, Dot lets her out of the Poké Ball and promises that the two will be good friends. Murdock tears up at his niece growing up so fast. Later, Dot starts another Nidothing livestream, apologizing for the technical difficulties before introducing Tinkatink as her new friend. Nidothing's zipper catches Tinkatink's eye, and she grabs it and pulls it down, making Dot panic as Quaxly frantically shuts off the camera.

Talk:Hitmonchan (Pokémon)

2026-05-14T14:40:00Z

ObjectHorizons: /* Kilt */ new section

==Level 21==
Shouldn't it be {{m|Feint}} that Hitmonchan learns at Level 21, and not Me First? That's the Level 25 learnmove for {{p|Hitmonlee}}. My Tyrogue just evolved to 'Chan at Lvl 21 and it learned Feint.
[[User:H4r8z0r|H4r8z0r]] 00:22, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. Hitmonlee doesn't learn Me First either though. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 00:34, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

==Another Origin==
Couldnt Hitmanchan and evolutionary line come from Hit man? [[User:Atomix26|Atomix26]] 01:00, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Well as it's Hit''mon''whatever, maybe not. It definitely seems to come from monster. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:I know this question is outdated.But i too have a suggestion -Chan is usally added to the end of japanese names usally by teens.Just like how "westerners" use words at the end of names like "homie" or "dog",Though this is unlikly but could get a mention.--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 11:45, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
::I don't think that's notable unless -Lee means something too. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 11:57, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Bruce Lee? [[User:Yamikuronue|Yamikuronue]] 21:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

==Minor appearances==
The episode "Pasta la vista" focused mainly on the Ash/Hitmonlee vs May/Hitmonchan battle, so how is that Hitmonchan is a minor character on that episode? Also you all forgot to add that Team Rocket once again interfered in that match. -[[User:Hitmonchan107|Hitmonchan107]] 00:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

==Is this worth nothing?==
*The only elemental punch Hitmonchan can't learn is {{m|Shadow Punch}}.
I don't know if it's worth noting, hence the reason why I'm asking. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 19:42, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
:Well, since nobody replied, that gives me the indication that nobody cares. Well, I'm not gonna put it to the trivia section, because I have a feeling it would be reverted. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 21:08, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
::Shadow Punch isn't an elemental punch though. Also, {{cat|Punching_moves|looking at the list}} there are a few punching moves Hitmonchan is not able to learn, so it isn't notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:56, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

==Level 26, Gen II==
Does anyone know how exactly level 26 works for Hitmonchan? When he levels up, does he get a random one of the three punches? Does he learn all three in order? Does he learn the first one you choose, and the others are ignored? ---[[User:AK712|AK712]] ([[User talk:AK712|talk]]) 18:43, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
:It learns all three at the same time.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:15, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

== What happened to Hitmonchan's Gen VIII machine-based learnset? ==

Hey, guys. I'm just wanting to know what happened to Hitmonchan's BDSP machine-based learnset? -[[User:Swampertguy|Swampertguy]] ([[User talk:Swampertguy|talk]]) 21:08, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
:Fixed. [[User:Pinsplash|Pinsplash]] ([[User talk:Pinsplash|talk]]) 23:01, 7 May 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks. Now can have linked access to Hitmonchan's Gen VIII learnsets. [[User:Swampertguy|Swampertguy]] ([[User talk:Swampertguy|talk]]) 01:12, 8 May 2026 (UTC)

== Gender confusing ==

What doesn't make sense is that it's 100% male, but wears... a dress? [[User:ObjectHorizons|ObjectHorizons]] ([[User talk:ObjectHorizons|talk]]) 18:10, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

:How something dresses doesn't define its gender, but regardless, please keep discussion on talk pages relevant to the improvement of the encyclopedia. [[User:Thespeon|Thespeon]] ([[User talk:Thespeon|talk]]) 18:29, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
:[[File:107Hitmonchan_RG.png|x500px]][[File:107Hitmonchan_Dream.png|x500px]]
:Looking at his original art (this is RG, which is older than RB) they were supposed to be shorts, but probably they got misrepresented just like Jynx's skirt suddenly gained side horns. '''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 19:59, 10 May 2026 (UTC)
::Oh, thanks for letting me know! [[User:ObjectHorizons|ObjectHorizons]] ([[User talk:ObjectHorizons|talk]]) 21:36, 10 May 2026 (UTC)

== Kilt ==

I did some research and found out that his skirt is actually a kilt. A kilt is a traditional knee-length garment with pleats at the back, originating from Scottish Highland dress and often featuring tartan patterns.

There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has structures resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. The gloves are actually masses of muscle. In between the tunic and kilt is a small, black area.

As its appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching. It can throw punches that are too quick to be seen with the naked eye. These punches are said to be as fast as a bullet train. It starts attacking foes with combo punches from both sides before finishing with a single straight punch. A single straight punch by Hitmonchan can launch foes over 300 mph. By punching with a corkscrew motion, it is even capable of drilling through concrete. Even a light graze from its punches will result in a burn. However, Hitmonchan requires a break every three minutes while fighting. Despite the need for frequent breaks, it has an unwavering spirit and will never give up in a difficult situation. Usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, it is rarely seen in the wild. It often competes with {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Mach Punch}} was its [[signature move]], but {{p|Tyrogue}} could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Iron Fist}} was Hitmonchan's [[signature Ability]].

===Evolution===
Hitmonchan evolves from {{p|Tyrogue}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:107Hitmonchan RG.png|200px|thumb|Hitmonchan's shorts in {{g|Red and Green}}]]
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were introduced as not being related to each other in an evolutionary line but later became part of the same evolutionary line as each other.
* Hitmonchan is tied with {{p|Hitmontop}} for learning the most increased-[[priority]] [[move]]s by level up, at eight.
* Hitmonchan's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]] [[Pokédex]] number, #107, could refer to {{wp|Little Mac (Punch-Out!!)|Little Mac}}, whose weight is 107 pounds (ca. 49 kg).
* Despite the requirement for its [[Evolution]] being a higher {{stat|Defense}} than {{stat|Attack}}, Hitmonchan's Attack stat is much higher than its Defense stat.
* Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee received the biggest increase to their {{stat|Special}} stat in Generation II, gaining 75 points of {{stat|Special Defense}}.
* Hitmonchan's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />

===Origin===
Hitmonchan appears to be based on a {{wp|Boxing|boxer}}. Based on its Japanese name, it may specifically be based on the boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}. The colors of Hitmonchan's gloves in its normal and {{Shiny}} colorations might be a reference to the red corner and blue corner in boxing. Some of its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention that it needs a short break after fighting for three minutes, which is a reference to the duration of rounds in boxing.

Hitmonchan appears to wear human-like clothes consisting of a two-piece pale purple outfit, shoulder pads, simple shoes in the same color as its shirt, and red boxing gloves. In its original official art for {{g|Red and Green}}, Hitmonchan wore purple shorts rather than a skirt. The {{pkmn|animated series}} as well as a few other artworks also depict it wearing shorts, and some artworks were vague as to whether it was wearing shorts or a skirt. However, since the transition to 3D models in [[Generation VI]], it has consistently worn a '''''kilt''''' with underwear underneath.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan is named after {{wp|Jackie Chan}},<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> and may additionally involve a combination of ''hit'' and ''monster''. The name is also related to {{p|Tyrogue}}'s other Evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

Ebiwalar may be derived from the Japanese world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than its {{stat|Attack}}. It is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
Hitmonchan is a tan, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is exclusively male and has no female counterpart. There are five blunt protrusions on top of its head, and it has structures resembling pads over its shoulders. It appears to be wearing a light purple tunic and kilt, as well as red boxing gloves and light purple boxing shoes. The gloves are actually masses of muscle. In between the tunic and kilt is a small, black area.

As its appearance suggests, Hitmonchan specializes in punching. It can throw punches that are too quick to be seen with the naked eye. These punches are said to be as fast as a bullet train. It starts attacking foes with combo punches from both sides before finishing with a single straight punch. A single straight punch by Hitmonchan can launch foes over 300 mph. By punching with a corkscrew motion, it is even capable of drilling through concrete. Even a light graze from its punches will result in a burn. However, Hitmonchan requires a break every three minutes while fighting. Despite the need for frequent breaks, it has an unwavering spirit and will never give up in a difficult situation. Usually found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}, it is rarely seen in the wild. It often competes with {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

In [[Generation II]], {{m|Mach Punch}} was its [[signature move]], but {{p|Tyrogue}} could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Iron Fist}} was Hitmonchan's [[signature Ability]].

===Evolution===
Hitmonchan evolves from {{p|Tyrogue}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:107Hitmonchan RG.png|200px|thumb|Hitmonchan's shorts in {{g|Red and Green}}]]
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were introduced as not being related to each other in an evolutionary line but later became part of the same evolutionary line as each other.
* Hitmonchan is tied with {{p|Hitmontop}} for learning the most increased-[[priority]] [[move]]s by level up, at eight.
* Hitmonchan's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]] [[Pokédex]] number, #107, could refer to {{wp|Little Mac (Punch-Out!!)|Little Mac}}, whose weight is 107 pounds (ca. 49 kg).
* Despite the requirement for its [[Evolution]] being a higher {{stat|Defense}} than {{stat|Attack}}, Hitmonchan's Attack stat is much higher than its Defense stat.
* Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee received the biggest increase to their {{stat|Special}} stat in Generation II, gaining 75 points of {{stat|Special Defense}}.
* Hitmonchan's English name was suggested by Bill Giese, who assisted in the naming of many [[Generation I]] Pokémon.<ref name=MonsterKids />

===Origin===
Hitmonchan appears to be based on a {{wp|Boxing|boxer}}. Based on its Japanese name, it may specifically be based on the boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}. The colors of Hitmonchan's gloves in its normal and {{Shiny}} colorations might be a reference to the red corner and blue corner in boxing. Some of its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention that it needs a short break after fighting for three minutes, which is a reference to the duration of rounds in boxing.

Hitmonchan appears to wear human-like clothes consisting of a two-piece pale purple outfit, shoulder pads, simple shoes in the same color as its shirt, and red boxing gloves. In its original official art for {{g|Red and Green}}, Hitmonchan wore purple shorts rather than a skirt. The {{pkmn|animated series}} as well as a few other artworks also depict it wearing shorts, and some artworks were vague as to whether it was wearing shorts or a skirt. However, since the transition to 3D models in [[Generation VI]], it has consistently worn a skirt with underwear underneath. But how something doesn't confirm its gender.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan is named after {{wp|Jackie Chan}},<ref name=MonsterKids>Dockery, Daniel (October 4, 2022). ''[[Monster Kids: How Pokémon Taught a Generation to Catch Them All]]''. Running Press. p. 33. ISBN 978-0762479504.</ref> and may additionally involve a combination of ''hit'' and ''monster''. The name is also related to {{p|Tyrogue}}'s other Evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

Ebiwalar may be derived from the Japanese world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

'''Meowth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニャース ''' ''Nyarth'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Persian}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Meowth has a {{type|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Persian when leveled up with high [[friendship]].

In [[Galar]], Meowth has a {{type|Steel}} regional form. It evolves into {{p|Perrserker}} starting at level 28.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

[[Kanto]]nian Meowth can [[Gigantamax]] into '''Gigantamax Meowth''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Meowth with the Gigantamax Factor cannot evolve.

==Biology==
[[File:Meowth OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Meowth for the [[original series]]]]

[[File:HGSS Meowth quadruped.png|thumb|right|200px|Meowth walking on all fours in the overworld]]
Meowth is a small, {{wp|Felidae|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur that turns brown at the tips of its hind paws and tail. Its ovoid head features four prominent whiskers, wide eyes with slit pupils, two pointed teeth in the upper jaw, and a gold {{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}} coin embedded in its forehead. Its ears are black with brown interiors and are flanked with an additional pair of long whiskers. Meowth can freely manipulate its claws, retracting them when it wants to move silently. The tip of its tail curls tightly. Meowth is a quadruped with the ability to walk on its hind legs. While the games almost always depict Meowth on two legs, it is stated in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'' that Meowth normally walks on all fours.

Meowth is attracted to round and shiny objects and has the unique ability to produce coins using its [[signature move]], {{m|Pay Day}}. Meowth and its evolved forms are the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Pay Day by leveling up. Being nocturnal, it is known to wander about city streets at night and pick up anything that sparkles, including loose change. Upon finding a sparkling object, its eyes will glitter and the coin on its forehead will shine brightly. It shares this intrigue with {{p|Murkrow}}, with whom it often fights with for objects and prey. Meowth is a playful but fickle Pokémon with the capacity for human-like intelligence, with at least {{MTR|one member}} of the species teaching itself how to speak. Meowth tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}} to collect the coins that people drop. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Meowth is known to sleep with the coins it collects.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Meowth has a [[Gigantamax]] form and two [[regional form]]s, {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth and {{rf|Galarian}} Meowth.

====Alolan Meowth====
[[File:Alolan Meowth SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Meowth for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
In [[Alola]], Meowth has a slightly different look. This look was the result of the monarchy's influence. Alolan Meowth's fur is a light blue-gray color. Instead of brown markings, the tip of its tail, whiskers, digits, and the insides of its ears are a whitish-gray. Alolan Meowth's whiskers have a slight curve compared to regular Meowth's straighter whiskers, and it has silvery eyes.

Meowth was introduced to Alola as a gift to royalty.<ref>[http://www.Pokémon-sunmoon.com/en-us/Pokémon/alolan-meowth/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Meowth]</ref> The luxurious royal lifestyle soon led to Meowth diverging from its origins and becoming the selfish, prideful, and cunning Alolan Meowth. As a result, Alolan Meowth's new pride also made them impulsive and fickle in nature. Alolan Meowth is known to get easily bored. Alolan Meowth will turn hysterical if its coin or pride are besmirched. Due to the actions of humans in Alola, Alolan Meowth's population increased in numbers. When the monarchy fell, the rare Alolan Meowth went feral and eventually grew as common in Alola as anywhere else. Alolan Meowth is known to be very famously diffcult to train due to their arrogant nature. Despite this, Alolan Meowth is also very popular with some Trainers who enjoy giving it a lot of attention.

====Galarian Meowth====
Galarian Meowth has a shaggy, greyish-brown coat resembling a beard, as well as yellow eyes and a toothy grin. Galarian Meowth's unkempt beard signifies its adaptation to survive in cold climates. Its coin is now black and extremely hard, with the darkest and hardest coins being especially valued and respected among the species.

Galarian Meowth's body has partially turned to iron as a result of many years of living with a race of savage seafarers. As a result of many battles, Galarian Meowth develops the ability to evolve into {{p|Perrserker}}, instead of {{p|Persian}}. Kantonian Meowth and Galarian Meowth don't get along. Galarian Meowth is known for fighting fearlessly against foes using its steel claws.

====Gigantamax Meowth====
Some Kantonian Meowth are capable of Gigantamaxing. As Gigantamax Meowth, it has become larger and longer in size. The body extends from the lower half to the shoulder, while the gold coin gains a symbol. Meowth's eyes change to a glowing gold color. The tail grows long as well, with the end of its tip extending. The tail gets even larger and bumpy when it uses an attack. Three red clouds surround it below the shoulders.

The giant coin on Gigantamax Meowth's head emits a lot of Gigantamax power that surrounds the area with a golden gleam. Its desire for shiny objects increases to the point where it will cause damage to skyscraper windows and exterior walls for the sake of sharpening its claws.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-meowth/ Gigantamax Meowth | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The symbol on Gigantamax Meowth's gold coin is believed to be the key to unlocking the secrets of [[Dynamax]].

Gigantamax Meowth is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Gold Rush}}.

Meowth is a member of {{TRT}}, and he is unlike ordinary Meowth in that he can [[talking Pokémon|speak human language]]. His first appearance was in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', which also marked the species' debut. His [[Gigantamax]] form debuted in ''[[JN044|Sword and Shield: "From Here to Eternatus!"]]''.

=====[[Meowzie]]=====
Meowzie is the main reason behind {{MTR}}'s ability to talk and walk on two legs. He fell in love with her when he was still a stray Pokémon on the streets of [[Hollywood]].

=====[[Tyson's Meowth]]=====
{{ho|Tyson}}'s Meowth debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' and made further appearances throughout the [[Ever Grande Conference]] arc. This Meowth was dressed up like {{wp|Puss in Boots (fairy tale)|Puss in Boots}}, giving it the nickname "Meowth in Boots".

=====[[Matori's Meowth]]=====

==Trivia==
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
[[File:Meowth Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Meowth in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* In ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', it was stated that {{MTR}} of Team Rocket had to learn and practice standing on his hind legs like a human, implying that Meowth as a species is not naturally able to stand on their hind legs. However, almost all sprites in the {{pkmn|games}} and the [[Pokédex]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' depict it standing on its hind legs, suggesting Meowth has the natural ability to walk on two legs. [[Tyson's Meowth]] is also able to walk on two legs, seemingly naturally.
** The only time Meowth is depicted on all fours in the games is in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}; when the player places Meowth as the first Pokémon in their party, Meowth will walk on four legs behind the player.
* Meowth is the first Pokémon in ''Pokémon the Series'' depicted with the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|talk}}.
* Meowth's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] are the same: 052.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have [[regional form]]s for multiple regions.
* Meowth is the only Pokémon to have both a regional form and [[Gigantamax]] form.
* Meowth may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Mankey}}. Both of them are {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} who evolve into their evolved forms at level 28. Their names start with an “M” and the names of their evolved forms start with a “P”. Meowth is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Blue}}, {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Silver}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|SoulSilver}}, and {{LGPE|Let's Go Eevee!}}; while Mankey is exclusive to Red, Gold, HeartGold, and Let's Go, Pikachu!. Also, in {{B2W2|Black 2 and White 2}}, [[Yancy]] will trade the {{player}} a Meowth if the player is male, and [[Curtis]] will trade Mankey if the player is female. Additionally, both seem to have a similar color scheme.
* Meowth had the Dark-type typing in the TCG set [[POP Series 5]]: {{TCG ID|POP Series 5|Meowth δ|11}}, which debuted a decade before Alolan Meowth would make an appearance in Pokémon Sun & Moon.
* Galarian Meowth is the only form of Meowth that doesn't give more [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]] than most other Pokémon upon capture in [[Pokémon GO]].
** While Kantonian and Alolan Meowth both give more Stardust, the latter gives even more than the former.
* All regional forms of Meowth share a weakness to [[Fighting (type)|Fighting]]-type moves.
* In the original preview for [[HZ066|episode 66]] of {{aniseries|HZ}}, a Kantonian Meowth was supposed to appear alongside one of the students from [[Naranja Academy]]. In the final version of the episode, the respective Pokémon was removed, and up until that point, the last appearance of a Kantonian Meowth within the {{pkmn|animated series}} was [[Team Rocket's Meowth]] in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN147|The Rainbow and the Pokémon Master!]]''.

===Merchandise===
* Meowth appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.

===Cultural impact===
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Meowth as part of a commemorative promotion for the [[Pokémon]] franchise, with Meowth on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Meowth}}
Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''{{wp|Maneki-neko}}'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lightning bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. ''Maneki-neko'' are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''{{wp|Koban (coin)|koban}}'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head. Meowth's color and pattern suggest that it also draws inspiration from {{wp|Siamese cat}}s. Its Japanese [[Pokémon category]] also suggests it is based on a ''{{wp|Bakeneko}}''.

Unlike the normal Meowth, Alolan Meowth appears to be based more on domestic cats that underwent selective breeding, specifically those owned by royalty. In particular, its appearance resembles the "British Blue" color variant of the {{wp|British Shorthair}}, an imported breed known well for its large and rounded head and pronounced 'smile', which the breed developed through artificial selection as part of the process of developing its pedigree.

Based on its appearance and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword]] [[Pokédex]] entry, Galarian Meowth may be based on {{wp|Norwegian Forest cat}}s, large fluffy cats with beard-like ruffs, or {{wp|European Wildcat}}s, with traits of the {{wp|Vikings}} that kept the breed's presumed ancestors on their ships.

Gigantamax Meowth's elongated body may be based on a sketch from ''{{wp|Monty Python's Flying Circus}}'' about a giant cat with outstretched arms and the {{wp|longcat}} meme. Its enlarged forehead coin may bear a {{wp|caligraphy|calligraphic}} form of the kanji 大 (“big” or “large”), reflecting both its Gigantamax size and the exaggerated coin size compared to a normal Meowth’s koban.

====Name origin====
Meowth may be a combination of ''meow'' (the sound a cat makes), ''mouth'', and ''wealth'', alluding to the Maneki-neko's capacity to bring good fortune. The ''-th'' may also be borrowed from Nyarth, as both ''meow'' and ''nyā'' are onomatopoeia of a cat's cry.

Nyarth may be a play on ニャー ''nyā'' (the Japanese {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for the sound a cat makes).

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pikachu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

Pichu has an alternate [[#Form data|form]] called '''[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]''' that is exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, also making appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

A special Pichu called '''[[Ukulele Pichu]]''' is the player's first {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.

==Biology==
Pichu is a small, ground-dwelling {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pale yellow fur. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail are black and angular. Pichu's pink cheek pouches can store small amounts of electricity, and its tiny nose looks like a dot. Pichu is classified as a quadruped, but it can walk easily on its hind legs.

Pichu is not yet skilled at storing electricity in its youth, so it may accidentally release a jolt if it's amused or startled, though it gets better at this as it grows older. The electric pouches on its cheeks are small, so they cannot store much electricity, and it shocks itself even if a little bit of energy leaks out. However, the electricity is still strong enough to zap [[human]] adults despite Pichu's small size, but it also surprises itself in doing so. Pichu can more easily charge itself with electricity in the presence of thunderclouds or dry air, so one can hear static electricity crackling coming off it. When it plays with others of its kind, they may end up shorting out electricity and releasing sparks that startle them and make them cry. However, they also do this intentionally by touching tails to build up courage. Though same find Pichu to be cute, those who want to live with it must prepare themselves for its electric jolts. Its liveliness is tied to how much electricity it stored in its cheek sacs, so it plays very energetically when they're fully charged. Pichu primarily lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it has also [[PK07|been depicted]] to thrive in urban areas. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is known to discharge uncontrollable electricity while sleeping due to its inability to store electricity properly. The crackling sound of static electricity can be heard while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Pichu, along with {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pichu and its [[Evolution|evolved]] forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
A [[Spiky-eared Pichu|particular Pichu]] has a unique form called Spiky-eared Pichu. It has three spikes on the tip of its ear, but looks otherwise the same as a common Pichu. According to [[Professor Elm]], Spiky-eared Pichu has [[Time travel|traveled through time]] with the [[Mythical Pokémon]] [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]]; He also adds that, due to this, it is unable to [[Evolution|evolve]]. In [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']], Pichu was shown to love [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

===Form data===
====Spiky-eared Pichu====
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is a unique form of Pichu exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pichu that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.

Spiky-eared Pichu is obtained by activating [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|an in-game event]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Pichu Brothers]]=====
The Pichu Brothers are a pair of Pichu who have appeared several times, including in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'', ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'', several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. The design of one of the brothers is similar to that of [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sparky]], in that it has a scruff of fur on its ear.

=====[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]=====
A Pichu with a spiked ear, known as Spiky-eared Pichu, appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. She helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for the jail cell that held {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Damos]]. The Spiky-eared Pichu made a few further appearances during {{aniseries|DP}}.

=====[[Ukulele Pichu]]=====
Ukulele Pichu appeared in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (animated special)#Part 1|Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs animated special]]. It was captured by {{ra|Ben}} in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs (animated special)#Part 2|concluding part]].

=====[[Ash's Pikachu|Pichu (anime)]]=====
Ash's Pikachu was revealed to have been born as and evolved from a Pichu in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]'', multiple Pichu were stealing apples from {{OBP|Charmaine|EP179}}'s apple orchard. In the end, Charmaine decided to keep all of them so they could help around the orchard.

In ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'', Pichu's big brother Pikachu was lost and he was so worried that he went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a trick on him when he asked for their help. Pichu then found Team Go-Getters, who allowed him to accompany them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

In ''[[PK17|Pikachu's Island Adventure]]'', two Pichu, six {{p|Wynaut}}, and a {{p|Buizel}} were forced off their island by {{MTR}} and his cronies, who then claimed it for themselves. As a result, Pikachu and his friends agreed to help them reclaim the island.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', [[Sho]] owns a Pichu as part of his goal to have possession of one Pokémon each from the Pikachu evolutionary line. Arrogant like its Trainer, it would watch both of Sho and his Raichu's battles with Ash.

In ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'', [[Normajean]]'s Pichu was badly poisoned by a {{p|Tentacruel}} alongside several of her other baby Pokémon. It was then healed by a {{m|Softboiled}} from [[Brock's Chansey]].

In ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'', [[Lena]] owns a Pichu, which is in [[Lyn]]'s care. In the episode, Lyn's bag was accidentally taken by {{an|Bonnie}}, who had a similar bag with her {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} inside; they eventually got their bags and Pokémon back.

In ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', [[Alternate World Ash]]'s Pikachu briefly appeared as a Pichu while {{OBP|Dialga|recurring}} and {{OBP|Palkia|recurring}} returned all the Pokémon [[Devolution|devolved]] and reverted into {{pkmn|Egg}}s by their influence back to normal.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', a Pichu was seen in a window on a girl's shoulder during Ash's battle with [[Dundee]].

In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', {{OBP|Mew|M08}} {{m|Transform|transformed}} into a Pichu during the [[Aura Guardian Festival]] tournament.

In ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s Pichu competed in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]] of the [[Kanto Grand Festival]].

In ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]'', three Pichu were cared for by [[Mr. Backlot]].

===Concept and development===
Pichu was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=IGN>Harris, Craig (February 24, 2009). "[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/02/23/pokemon-creators-on-platinum Pokemon Creators on Platinum]." ''IGN''.</ref>

===Origin===
Pichu seems to draw inspiration from {{wp|squirrel}}s and various other {{wp|rodent}}s. Additionally, according to Junichi Masuda, Ken Sugimori came up with the idea for Pichu when [[Game Freak]] staff were trying to figure out a Pokémon to be the "next" Pikachu.<ref name=IGN /> Its {{Shiny}} variation is inspired by Pikachu's standard coloration, hence why it's called "[[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]".

====Name origin====
Pichu may be a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkling), チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse), and possibly プチ ''puchi'' (petite), as well as being a contraction of ''{{p|Pikachu}}''.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pikachu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

Pichu has an alternate [[#Form data|form]] called '''[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]''' that is exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, also making appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

A special Pichu called '''[[Ukulele Pichu]]''' is the player's first {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.

==Biology==
Pichu is a small, ground-dwelling {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pale yellow fur. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail are black and angular. Pichu's pink cheek pouches can store small amounts of electricity, and its tiny nose looks like a dot. Pichu is classified as a quadruped, but it can walk easily on its hind legs.

Pichu is not yet skilled at storing electricity in its youth, so it may accidentally release a jolt if it's amused or startled, though it gets better at this as it grows older. The electric pouches on its cheeks are small, so they cannot store much electricity, and it shocks itself even if a little bit of energy leaks out. However, the electricity is still strong enough to zap [[human]] adults despite Pichu's small size, but it also surprises itself in doing so. Pichu can more easily charge itself with electricity in the presence of thunderclouds or dry air, so one can hear static electricity crackling coming off it. When it plays with others of its kind, they may end up shorting out electricity and releasing sparks that startle them and make them cry. However, they also do this intentionally by touching tails to build up courage. Though same find Pichu to be cute, those who want to live with it must prepare themselves for its electric jolts. Its liveliness is tied to how much electricity it stored in its cheek sacs, so it plays very energetically when they're fully charged. Pichu primarily lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it has also [[PK07|been depicted]] to thrive in urban areas. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is known to discharge uncontrollable electricity while sleeping due to its inability to store electricity properly. The crackling sound of static electricity can be heard while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Pichu, along with {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pichu and its [[Evolution|evolved]] forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
A [[Spiky-eared Pichu|particular Pichu]] has a unique form called Spiky-eared Pichu. It has three spikes on the tip of its ear, but looks otherwise the same as a common Pichu. According to [[Professor Elm]], Spiky-eared Pichu has [[Time travel|traveled through time]] with the [[Mythical Pokémon]] [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]]; He also adds that, due to this, it is unable to [[Evolution|evolve]]. In [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']], Pichu was shown to love [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

====In events====
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[level]] 30 {{pkmn2|Shiny}} Pichu distributed in events from 2010 are described in their [[Wonder Card]]s as Pikachu-colored Pichu (Japanese: ピカチュウカラーのピチュー ''Pikachu-colored Pichu''). They are [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon.<ref>''"Apparently had a fateful encounter at Lv. 30."'' - Trainer Memo on the [[summary]] of the Pikachu-colored Pichu in Generation IV games</ref> If any of them is traded to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it can be used to obtain the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] (even if the Shiny Pichu has evolved into {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}}).

===Form data===
====Spiky-eared Pichu====
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is a unique form of Pichu exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pichu that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.

Spiky-eared Pichu is obtained by activating [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|an in-game event]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.

===Concept and development===
Pichu was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=IGN>Harris, Craig (February 24, 2009). "[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/02/23/pokemon-creators-on-platinum Pokemon Creators on Platinum]." ''IGN''.</ref>

===Origin===
Pichu seems to draw inspiration from {{wp|squirrel}}s and various other {{wp|rodent}}s. Additionally, according to Junichi Masuda, Ken Sugimori came up with the idea for Pichu when [[Game Freak]] staff were trying to figure out a Pokémon to be the "next" Pikachu.<ref name=IGN /> Its {{Shiny}} variation is inspired by Pikachu's standard coloration, hence why it's called "[[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]".

====Name origin====
Pichu may be a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkling), チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse), and possibly プチ ''puchi'' (petite), as well as being a contraction of ''{{p|Pikachu}}''.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pikachu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

Pichu has an alternate [[#Form data|form]] called '''[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]''' that is exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, also making appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

A special Pichu called '''[[Ukulele Pichu]]''' is the player's first {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.

==Biology==
Pichu is a small, ground-dwelling {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pale yellow fur. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail are black and angular. Pichu's pink cheek pouches can store small amounts of electricity, and its tiny nose looks like a dot. Pichu is classified as a quadruped, but it can walk easily on its hind legs.

Pichu is not yet skilled at storing electricity in its youth, so it may accidentally release a jolt if it's amused or startled, though it gets better at this as it grows older. The electric pouches on its cheeks are small, so they cannot store much electricity, and it shocks itself even if a little bit of energy leaks out. However, the electricity is still strong enough to zap [[human]] adults despite Pichu's small size, but it also surprises itself in doing so. Pichu can more easily charge itself with electricity in the presence of thunderclouds or dry air, so one can hear static electricity crackling coming off it. When it plays with others of its kind, they may end up shorting out electricity and releasing sparks that startle them and make them cry. However, they also do this intentionally by touching tails to build up courage. Though same find Pichu to be cute, those who want to live with it must prepare themselves for its electric jolts. Its liveliness is tied to how much electricity it stored in its cheek sacs, so it plays very energetically when they're fully charged. Pichu primarily lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it has also [[PK07|been depicted]] to thrive in urban areas. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is known to discharge uncontrollable electricity while sleeping due to its inability to store electricity properly. The crackling sound of static electricity can be heard while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Pichu, along with {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pichu and its [[Evolution|evolved]] forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
A [[Spiky-eared Pichu|particular Pichu]] has a unique form called Spiky-eared Pichu. It has three spikes on the tip of its ear, but looks otherwise the same as a common Pichu. According to [[Professor Elm]], Spiky-eared Pichu has [[Time travel|traveled through time]] with the [[Mythical Pokémon]] [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]]; He also adds that, due to this, it is unable to [[Evolution|evolve]]. In [[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl|''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']], Pichu was shown to love [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

====In events====
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[level]] 30 {{pkmn2|Shiny}} Pichu distributed in events from 2010 are described in their [[Wonder Card]]s as Pikachu-colored Pichu (Japanese: ピカチュウカラーのピチュー ''Pikachu-colored Pichu''). They are [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon.<ref>''"Apparently had a fateful encounter at Lv. 30."'' - Trainer Memo on the [[summary]] of the Pikachu-colored Pichu in Generation IV games</ref> If any of them is traded to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, it can be used to obtain the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] (even if the Shiny Pichu has evolved into {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}}).

===Form data===
====Spiky-eared Pichu====
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is a unique form of Pichu exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pichu that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.

Spiky-eared Pichu is obtained by activating [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|an in-game event]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.

===Concept and development===
Pichu was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=IGN>Harris, Craig (February 24, 2009). "[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/02/23/pokemon-creators-on-platinum Pokemon Creators on Platinum]." ''IGN''.</ref>

===Origin===
Pichu seems to draw inspiration from {{wp|squirrel}}s and various other {{wp|rodent}}s. Additionally, according to Junichi Masuda, Ken Sugimori came up with the idea for Pichu when [[Game Freak]] staff were trying to figure out a Pokémon to be the "next" Pikachu.<ref name=IGN /> Its {{Shiny}} variation is inspired by Pikachu's standard coloration, hence why it's called "[[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]".

====Name origin====
Pichu may be a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkling), チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse), and possibly プチ ''puchi'' (petite), as well as being a contraction of ''{{p|Pikachu}}''.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
[[File:Art Life 20230116 Bulbasaur.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Bulbasaur using its vines to climb a tree]]
Bulbasaur is a small, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has blue-green skin with darker patches. It has red eyes with white pupils, pointed, ear-like structures on top of its head, and a short, blunt snout with a wide mouth. Small, pointed teeth are visible in the upper jaw when the mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On Bulbasaur's back is a green plant bulb that conceals two slender, tentacle-like vines, which grow from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb also provides it with energy through photosynthesis and from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.

Bulbasaur is sometimes seen seen napping in bright sunlight and can survive for days without eating. It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and forests throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. However, due to its status as a [[first partner Pokémon]], it is hard to come by in the wild and is generally found under the ownership of a Trainer. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. First partner Pokémon such as Bulbasaur are raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s to be distributed to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.<ref>''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''</ref> Having been raised by [[human]]s from birth, it is regarded as both a rare and well-behaved Pokémon. It is known to be extremely loyal, even after long-term abandonment.<ref>''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''</ref> Bulbasaur has demonstrated a nurturing instinct towards younger, weaker Pokémon, such as using its vines to pick up a crying Pokémon and gently rocking it back and forth through the air while singing a "Bulba-by".<ref>''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''</ref> Its bulb will flash blue when it is ready to [[Evolution|evolve]], but if it does not want to, it struggles to resist the transformation. Many Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} in a ceremony led by a {{p|Venusaur}}.<ref>''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''</ref> Its vines are long and strong enough to allow Bulbasaur to grab the branches of trees and pull itself up to reach {{Berries}}.<ref>[[Bulbasaur (SWSH Promo 303)]]</ref> As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Bulbasaur sits still and basks in sunny spots during its sleep, possibly trying to absorb nutrients from its seed to grow big.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===

===Main series===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|Bulbasaur in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Bulbasaur debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]], thus also marking the species' physical debut. Though initially wary of Ash, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was {{pkmn2|caught}}. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were caught in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's [[party]] for most of his {{pkmn|journey}} through [[Johto]] until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

=====[[May's Bulbasaur]]=====
Much later on, while Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], {{an|May}} caught her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. She remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to win the {{ci|Purika}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and place Top 8 in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to learn from Ash's while she, Ash, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} traveled throughout the Kanto region. May retrieved her during her travels in [[Johto]], where she evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

=====[[Shauna's Bulbasaur]]=====
{{an|Shauna}}'s first partner Pokémon is a Bulbasaur she received from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. It first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', and it was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} by ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Bulbasaur gathered in the [[Mysterious Garden]] and took part in a festival where they all evolved into Ivysaur en masse. They also took Ash's Bulbasaur to the garden with them, though it refused to evolve.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Bulbasaur was cloned from Ash's own Bulbasaur. The cloned Bulbasaur participated in the battle between the original Pokémon and the cloned Pokémon. Bulbasaur reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] during his childhood when it wouldn't evolve into Ivysaur. Since then, it grew to a very large size in the sewers. Aided by {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had been taken by the giant Bulbasaur. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and his friends left the Bulbasaur with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}} was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]], but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]], forcing Gilbert to set out to find them with {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, and {{Delia}}.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Bulbasaur and Ivysaur traveled to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} that was under construction in [[Vermilion City]]. Ash and [[Goh]], who were investigating the outbreak, followed them to the Gym and realized the horde had gone there so the Bulbasaur could absorb the sunlight necessary to evolve into new Ivysaur.

''"A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and the Japanese {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Professor Oak]] classifies Bulbasaur as the "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) when the player is about to choose it as their [[first partner Pokémon]], using the term while referring to its {{t|Grass|type}}. In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, he calls it the "grass Pokémon".
** This also occurs in the [[PO01|first episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]].
* Bulbasaur is one of only two first partner Pokémon that is dual-[[type]] in its initial form, with the other being {{p|Rowlet}}.
* Bulbasaur's evolutionary line is the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon to be part of a first partner Pokémon family.
* Bulbasaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], a Bulbasaur with an English name couldn't be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Bulbasaur is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg|Grass}} or {{egg2|Monster}}s can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, Bulbasaur can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding. In [[Generation V]] onwards, Bulbasaur can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Bulbasaur could learn Vine Whip at level 7 instead of Leech Seed. This oversight was later fixed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
* According to the [[Trainer Race]] quiz minigame from [[PokéROM]], the word "strong" is a good adjective to describe Bulbasaur.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Bulbasaur is intentionally referred to as "Bulbassauro", despite its name still maintaining the English spelling in written media. The same is true for its evolved forms.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* While Bulbasaur is not considered to be part of the [[List of references to Pokémon in science|inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Bulbasaurus}}'', a genus of {{wp|dicynodont}}s, it has been noted that the similarities "may not be entirely coincidental".<ref>Sloat, Sarah. (February 1, 2017). "[https://www.inverse.com/article/27179-bulbasaurus-dicynodont-pokemon-dinosaur Scientists Who Discovered Bulbasaurus Didn’t Name It After a Pokémon]." ''Inverse''.</ref>

===Concept and development===
Bulbasaur was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/)</ref>

===Origin ===
Bulbasaur is based on a {{wp|frog}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Interview with Jun'ichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori about ''Pokémon Black and White Versions'' (archived - Japanese text)]</ref><ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. According to [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Atsuko Nishida]], the latter designed Bulbasaur working backward from Venusaur, meaning Bulbasaur was the last of its evolutionary line to have been designed and was also directly based on Venusaur.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu /> The bulb on its back resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur is a combination of ''{{wp|bulb}}''<ref>(January 1999). [https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM GAME FREAK | POCKEMON JOURNAL] (archive)</ref><ref name=INSIDE>(February 27, 2016). "[https://web.archive.org/web/20220928180754/https://www.inside-games.jp/article/2016/02/27/96339_2.html ポケモンが現実世界と仮想世界を繋いでいく、20年目の挑戦・・・株式会社ポケモン代表取締役社長・石原恒和氏インタビュー]" ''inside-games.jp''.</ref><ref name=4gamer>(November 15, 2019).

''4Gamer.net''</ref> (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants) and ''{{wp|dinosaur}}''<ref name=4gamer/> or ''-saurus''<ref name=INSIDE/> (common suffix used in the names of extinct reptilian creatures, derived from the Ancient Greek word for {{wp|lizard}}). The name also sounds similar to the word ''bulbous''.

Fushigidane may be a combination of 不思議 ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and 種 ''tane'' (seed), as well as a pun of the phrase 不思議だね ''Fushigi da ne?'' ("Isn't it strange?").

== questions about regarding some of Rival Blues pokemon team Moves (Fire red Leaf green) ==

Hello wasent sure where to discuss this, but i found that in a video i have a link to that when a youtuber used a ditto in a fire red run he copied Rival Blues growlithe's moves in Silph Co, and turns out it had the moves Odor Sleuth, and Helping Hand, not Roar and Leer which are applied along the other recently correct moves already applied to it which are Take Down and Flame Wheel respectively, can anyone else confirm what other correct moves are for Exeggcute, i could be wrong but im sure that the correct moves it has are confusion, stun spore and the other two moves im not sure, and apart of me thinks its not hypnosis but rather, Leech Seed, poison powder, or sleep powder? and also for the last Route 22 fight with Rival blue im starting to wonder what the correct moves are for the growlithe and exeggcute TBH im starting to wonder what moves are even right on blues pokemon from beginning to end in fire red and leaf green some look like they were coping some of the old red and blue moves and mixing them up with the new and improved moves on his pokemon... I might be mistaken but im not sure, can anyone shed some light on this? id like to do a play through and make sure that the right moves are correct on Blues party from oaks lab to the final battle so that everyone knows the correct moves are on which pokemon. also please if anyone could please send me the correct moves Blue uses on his Blastoise team in Pokemon tower, Silph Co., Route 22 and final Battle with him choosing Blastoise? thanks!

== clarification on information of tiles independant of trendy phrase in the article for finding feebas in gen 3 ==
https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Hoenn_Route_119#Finding_Feebas

hello

so i noticed on the article about finding feebas it states that "The tiles' locations are independent of the [[trend]] in [[Dewford Town]], although the tiles' location will change every time the trend does." when i was shiny hunting for feebas i found that when the trendy phrase repeats to a previous phrase, it had the same feebas locations as before, which would mean the tiles are dependant to the trendy phrase. i dont have any video footage, just my own experience , but if theres anyway i can verify it for you let me know. thanks!

==Deleting/reworking the link templates==
For the average editor, the link templates are vague and confusing when viewing them in the editor, and the amount of time spent trying to figure what each template means, as well as which template to use, outweighs the minute benefits of the templates being used to shorten titles. For example, it's not obvious that the [[Template:A|A template]] stands for "abilities." Also, these templates can break when pages are renamed, merged, or split. Most of these templates should be deprecated or deleted, with any usage of the templates being removed.

Also, identifiers shouldn't be needed when there is only one page that has a title, nor if it would be the most frequently-searched title; it just ends up being more work when linking it from other articles. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 23:17, 23 September 2025 (UTC)
:What? Templates help makes editing easier so you don't have to type out <nowiki>[[Guts (Ability)|Guts]]</nowiki> or <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki> in full. A good chunk of the wiki uses link templates. And if they were to be moved or whatever, the bot can simply re-link them accordingly. If you are unsure what template to use or what each template means, you can simply check {{bp|List of link templates}}.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:25, 24 September 2025 (UTC)
::Okay, but I think the template names should be more intuitive to the average editor. For example, the average editor is not going to know what Template:A does if they've never looked at the template; it'd be better if the template was named Template:Ability; giving the editor the idea that the template is an identifier template for Pokémon [[Ability|Abilities]]. However, even then I don't really see the point of having multiple identifier templates, especially if a general identifier template in the format {id:<Article name>|<identifier>} could be used instead. (There's currently a total of 437 link templates.) Not to mention that identifiers are redundant if there is only one page under that title.

::Here's some examples of how the link templates can be renamed to be more intuitive:
::* Template:2ct → Template:2 counters
::* Template:2v → Template:2 versions (Can't figure out how to account for Template:2v2; maybe "Template:2 versions 2"?)
::* Template:A → Template:Ability
::* Template:Acolor → Template:Ability color
::* Template:Acce link → Template:Accessory link
::* Template:Aow → Template:Overworld animation (Also Template:Overworld ani, but it's not as clear.)
::* Template:Adv → Template:Adventures
::* Template:B → Template:Berry
::* Template:Bt → Template:Bulbapedia talk
::* Template:BTImg → Template:Battle Trozei image (Also Template:Battle Trozei img, but it's not as clear.)
::* Template:Ci → Template:City
::* Template:E → Template:Energy
::* Template:H → Template:Help
::* Template:I → Template:Item
::* Template:M → Template:Move
::* Template:N → Template:News
::* Template:P → Template:Pokémon
::* Template:Spr → Template:Sprite
::* Template:T → Template:Type
::* Template:U → Template:User (Possible conflict with [[Template:User|another template with the same name]].)
::* Template:V → Template:Version
::* Template:Wp → Template:Wikipedia
::* Template:Yt → Template:Youtube
::* Template:Ytu → Template:YouTube user

::I'm all for improving accessibility for visitors and users alike, and I'd prefer having to type templates that require more characters but are more intuitive to other editors than typing templates requiring less characters but are less intuitive to other editors. If there are other suggestions on making link template names more intuitive, let me know. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 23:22, 9 October 2025 (UTC)
:::The point of a link template is to shorten linking, hence why the link templates are only one or a few letters. If users are unsure of what templates to use or what they mean, they can always ask, go to the template page, or use the list of link templates page I linked. And identifiers are used if you want to link one word of the article without linking to a redirect or disambiguation page. Typing out <nowiki>[[Pikachu]]</nowiki> will lead to a disambiguation page, whereas <nowiki>[[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]]</nowiki> will lead to the species article.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:55, 10 October 2025 (UTC)
::::Link templates have short names so they're quicker to use in the source editor. Sure, a person who has never looked at the template may not know what it's for, but one click to go the template page will tell them what the template is, what it stands for, and how to use it. Additionally, when each new user is {{template|welcome}}d, they're recommended to go through the policies and best practices of the wiki, which includes {{bp|list of link templates}}: a list of all templates with quick examples of how to use them. We're adding documentation and TemplateData (a new feature on the wiki) to older templates to make them easier to use, so that should also make it clearer what they stand for. Lastly, Link templates will also make it easier if pages titles are reworked in the future. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 08:58, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

==Requiring citations for foreign names, dates, and age ratings==
I'm thinking of adding all of the foreign names for the Pokémon books, adding citations for the foreign names. With the lack of citations for foreign names, a visitor or user cannot tell if the foreign name is real or was fabricated. I think that foreign names should be cited, so that visitors and users can know that the name actually originated from a source rather than having been fabricated. Dates and age ratings should also be cited for the same reason. [[User:Apikachu68|Apikachu68]] ([[User talk:Apikachu68|talk]]) 19:04, 10 October 2025 (UTC)

== Pokémon Champions tips ==

Hi, I have downloaded Pokémon Champions about 2 months ago. Everything I try, I mostly end up losing... do you have any tips?

:Hi! The Bulbapedia wiki isn't the place to discuss game tips. If you're on Discord you could join the chat in the [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Bulbagarden server], or you could join the [https://bulbagarden.net/forums/ Bulbagarden forums] and I'm sure there'll be a thread for Champions discussion.

==Blurb==


''Leaving her home in Paldea, Liko travels to Kanto to enroll in Indigo Academy and become a Pokémon Trainer. She’s nervous but also excited to learn new things about herself and the world. After Liko meets her roommate, Ann, both girls receive their partner Pokémon: Ann is overjoyed to get Oshawott, but Liko seems disappointed when her partner is Sprigatito, a Pokémon from Paldea. Still, Liko attempts to befriend the Pokémon, and they eventually begin to bond. But one day, a mysterious young man approaches Liko, claiming to have a letter from her grandma. He also seems interested in Liko’s pendant, but Liko is suspicious…''

==Plot==
A young girl named [[Liko]] arrives at a [[Land transportation in the Pokémon world|bus]] stop on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, but her shyness keeps her from talking with the other girls waiting there. Even as she boards the bus and sees other girls watching a video by the internet celebrity known as [[Nidothing]], whom she's a fan of, she finds herself incapable of finding the right words to talk with them. Instead, she opts to look out of the window and marvel at all the [[Kanto]] Pokémon she's seeing for the first time.
[[File:Liko and Ann School Uniform.png|thumb|250px|left|Liko and Ann at Indigo Academy]]
The bus eventually arrives at [[Indigo Academy]]. Liko goes to her room and meets her roommate, a girl named [[Ann]], in the middle of turning the room upside down to find her missing toothbrush, adding to the awkwardness of the situation. The two introduce themselves to each other, with Liko revealing she's from the [[Paldea]] [[region]], having come to study at Indigo Academy because [[Alex|her]] [[Lucca|parents]] had once studied here as well. Ann feels jealous of her, having never been outside of Kanto herself. As they later watch a [[Pokémon battle]] outside, Ann expresses her excitement at receiving her own [[first partner Pokémon]] during the entrance ceremony, though Liko has been too nervous to think about it. That night, Liko, too nervous to sleep, writes a diary entry on her [[Rotom Phone|Rotom Pad]], describing her first day at school and expressing her anticipation at getting to meet her partner Pokémon.

The entrance ceremony takes place the next day. Following the headmistress giving a welcoming speech, the new students gather in a classroom, where each of them gets a [[Pokédex]] installed on their Rotom Phone, before being allowed to come in front of the class in turns to pick up their partner Pokémon. Ann eagerly chooses {{p|Oshawott}} as her partner, while Liko nervously picks {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}}. She finds her new partner cute, but Sprigatito simply scratches her when she tries to pet her and runs off. Liko chases after Sprigatito, following her sweet scent to a rooftop. Sprigatito hops toward Liko, but when she tries to catch the {{pkmn|category|Grass Cat Pokémon}}, they both end up falling down. Fortunately, their landing is softened by a {{p|Snorlax}}. While following Sprigatito to a lake, she stops to look at the beautiful sunset. However, Sprigatito still refuses to be held by her, shattering Liko's expectations of meeting a perfect partner.

After an unsuccessful attempt at having her first battle with Ann, Liko secretly sneaks out at night to try to {{pkmn|training|train}} Sprigatito's {{m|Leafage}} by the lake, though without success. Upon returning, she takes out a box from underneath her bed and opens it to reveal a pendant. Ann, having woken up without her noticing, approaches her and asks her about the pendant. Liko explains that it's a gift from [[Diana|her grandmother]], meant to work as a good-luck charm to keep her safe, though she doesn't feel ready to wear it yet. The next day, Liko is too distracted by her own thoughts to notice Ann pointing out an [[Brave Olivine|airship]] in the distance, instead expressing her envy towards how well Ann and Oshawott are coming along. Following Ann's advice, Liko starts trying to learn more about Sprigatito in order to understand her better and hopefully learn what they both want to do. On the roof, Liko tries to catch Sprigatito in her hands again and succeeds, although she, having a tendency to lose her footing on occasion, falls down onto the ground. They also continue their secret nightly training, though Sprigatito's fickle nature isn't making it easy. Meanwhile, [[Rising Volt Tacklers|a group of people]] searches around the school for her, albeit with little success.

Eventually, a school break arrives. Ann heads home to show off her Oshawott, while Liko plans to stay at the school. After seeing Ann off, she encounters a young man named [[Amethio]], who hands her a letter, saying it's from her grandmother and asking for her to bring her her precious pendant. Liko, feeling suspicious about the man, goes to her room to supposedly get ready. Feeling that something isn't right, she takes her pendant and climbs out the window to escape. Entering the room only moments later, Amethio sees that Liko is gone and alerts [[Explorers|his comrades]] to be on the lookout for her. One of them, [[Onia]], notices her, while a man named [[Zirc]] confronts her and calls out his {{p|Rhydon}}. Since Sprigatito isn't strong enough to fight Rhydon, Liko instead has her blind Rhydon with Leafage and then use her relaxing scent to put it to sleep. She flees onto a rooftop, but is cornered by Amethio, who demands that she hand over her pendant. Suddenly, [[Friede|a man]] swoops down from the sky on his {{TP|Friede|Charizard}}, saying that he also has business with Liko. Amethio decides to settle things with a Pokémon battle, sending out his {{TP|Amethio|Ceruledge}} to confront Charizard and telling his comrades to stand back.

As the battle between the two {{t|Fire}} Pokémon commences, Liko, while thoroughly confused by everything that's going on, decides to get away in order to prevent the school from being caught in the crossfire. During her escape, she needs to jump over a gap between rooftops. She gathers her courage and takes the leap of faith, just as a {{m|Psycho Cut}} from Ceruledge is deflected by Charizard and sent careening towards her. Suddenly, her pendant starts to glow brightly, and she becomes surrounded by a green, hexagon-patterned sphere of energy, protecting her and suspending her mid-air.

==Trivia==
[[File:HZ001 Title card.png|thumb|230px|Title card]]
* This is the first episode of the ''[[Liko and Roy's Departure]]'' chapter.
* The title text for this episode is shown over the background directly, instead of a separate [[title card]] segment. Hence, no one reads the title card for this episode.
* This episode does not contain any [[eyecatch]]es, instead having the [[series]] logo on a corner of the screen before and after the commercial break.
* This is the first main series episode:
** Where {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not listed as protagonists, and the first main series episode where the [[Team Rocket trio]] are not listed as antagonists.
** To not feature a male protagonist in any capacity.
** Since ''[[SM090|Securing the Future!]]'' to not have a separate title card segment.
* [[Liko]]'s capture of {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} marks the first time:
** Where a female main character has obtained a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] since {{an|May}} {{pkmn2|caught}} her {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', 885 episodes earlier.
** That a female main character has obtained her first Pokémon outside her home [[region]].
** That a main character has received a Grass-type first partner Pokémon as their first Pokémon.
** That a main character obtains a Pokémon in the first episode of a new series since {{an|Dawn}} obtained her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', 766 episodes earlier.
* This episode marks the first time that:
** {{m|Dynamic Punch}} has been used in the animated series since ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', 536 episodes earlier.
** A female main character has obtained a [[Pokédex]] since {{an|Serena}} received her second one in ''[[XY093|All Eyes on the Future!]]'', 341 episodes earlier.
** A recurring character, who isn't a [[rival]], has officially obtained a {{type|Water}} first partner Pokémon outside its native region, not counting [[JNS01|temporary captures]].
* This episode introduces 11 named recurring [[List of animated series characters|characters]], the most such characters introduced in a single episode since ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', 1,228 episodes earlier, which also introduced 11 named recurring characters.
* This and the [[HZ002|next episode]] are the first two-part episode since ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', aired almost 11 years earlier.
* This episode marks the first appearance of a {{p|Surskit}} in the {{pkmn|animated series}} since ''[[SM071|Dewpider Ascending!]]'', 223 episodes earlier.
** This episode also marks the first appearance of a {{p|Masquerain}} in the animated series since ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', 165 episodes earlier.
* As of this episode:
** A first partner Pokémon of all three type options has been obtained by a main character in the first episode of a new series at least once.
** All three types of the first partner Pokémon have been chosen by a female main character as their first Pokémon.
** The voice actors are listed in the credits in alphabetical order by their first names rather than their last names.
*** Additionally, this is the first time [[Sarah Natochenny]] is listed in the "Additional Voices" credits.
* The relationship of Liko and her Sprigatito throughout the episode is reminiscent of Ash and Pikachu's during the [[EP001|very first episode]] of the animated series, as both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s struggle to deal with their first partner Pokémon.
* The backpacks the other students are wearing are designed after the ones from [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].
[[File:HZ001 Title card initial TV airing.png|thumb|230px|Title card for the one-hour special]]
* For the initial airing of this episode, it aired during a one-hour special with the [[HZ002|next episode]].
** The end credits, the "To Be Continued" text, and the next episode preview were not present at the end of the episode.
** The title didn't include "Part 1" or "Part 2" - treating the special as one episode.
** The end of the one-hour special also featured an additional credits segment covering combined credits for both episodes (as listed [[Animated series staff by episode (HZ001-HZ010)#HZ001 / HZ002 One-Hour Special|here]]), featuring generic animated series music over an out-of-focus shot of the [[Brave Olivine]] flying through the air from the following episode.
* For the regular release of this episode:
** The {{pmin|Japan}}ese, {{pmin|Taiwan}}ese Mandarin, {{pmin|Hong Kong}} Cantonese, {{pmin|Mainland China|mainland Chinese}} Mandarin, and {{pmin|Thailand|Thai}} releases use generic animated series music during the ending credits, with the credits appearing on an out-of-focus shot of the school as the background.
** The {{pmin|Korea}}n release uses the regular opening and ending themes ([[We Go]] and [[By Your Side]] at the very start (before the cold open) and the very end (after the next episode preview) of the episode.
** Other language releases use the instrumental version of [[Becoming Me]] as the ending theme (except {{pmin|South Asia}}n dubs which use the original song [[Boom Kaboom]]) with the regular animation sequence.
* {{p|Charizard}}'s voice is dubbed for the first time in this episode.
* Starting from this episode until ''[[HZ044|The Plan to Capture Rayquaza]]'', [[Nidothing]] and {{TP|Nidothing|Quaxly}} narrate the next episode previews.
* Book from the popular web series BFDI has made a cameo in [[Ann]]'s room.

===Errors===
* Before leaving Liko's dorm room, the white portion of [[Amethio]]'s hair is missing some of its triangle shapes.
* In the {{pmin|India|Hindi}} dub:
** Poliwhirl's cry with its English name is left undubbed, in contrast to the other Pokémon which had their cries dubbed with their [[List of Hindi Pokémon names|Hindi names]].
** Liko's grandmother is referred to as her दादी ''dādī'' (father's mother) instead of नानी ''nānī'' (mother's mother).
* In the Bengali dub, the audio of Liko reading the title card out loud is delayed, playing when Liko walks up to the school instead of when the title text is on-screen.

<gallery>
Amethio Rotom Phone.png|Missing triangles on Amethio's hair
</gallery>

===Dub edits===
* The BBC release removes the shot of [[Liko]] and {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} jumping from the roof.
* In the {{pmin|India|Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Bengali}} dubs, Liko reads the title out loud.

ObjectHorizons: /* Hello! */ new section

== Hello! ==

Hello! My name is Zai, but you can call me ObjectHorizons. I look forward to making friends on the Bulbapedia wiki. I also enjoy a web series called Battle for Dream Island (BFDI). My favourite Pokémon are [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], [[Gardevoir (Pokémon)|Gardevoir]], and [[Gourgeist (Pokémon)]]... I guess?

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
[[File:Art Life 20230116 Bulbasaur.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Bulbasaur using its vines to climb a tree]]
Bulbasaur is a small, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has blue-green skin with darker patches. It has red eyes with white pupils, pointed, ear-like structures on top of its head, and a short, blunt snout with a wide mouth. Small, pointed teeth are visible in the upper jaw when the mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On Bulbasaur's back is a green plant bulb that conceals two slender, tentacle-like vines, which grow from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb also provides it with energy through photosynthesis and from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.

Bulbasaur is sometimes seen seen napping in bright sunlight and can survive for days without eating. It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and forests throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. However, due to its status as a [[first partner Pokémon]], it is hard to come by in the wild and is generally found under the ownership of a Trainer. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. First partner Pokémon such as Bulbasaur are raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s to be distributed to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.<ref>''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''</ref> Having been raised by [[human]]s from birth, it is regarded as both a rare and well-behaved Pokémon. It is known to be extremely loyal, even after long-term abandonment.<ref>''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''</ref> Bulbasaur has demonstrated a nurturing instinct towards younger, weaker Pokémon, such as using its vines to pick up a crying Pokémon and gently rocking it back and forth through the air while singing a "Bulba-by".<ref>''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''</ref> Its bulb will flash blue when it is ready to [[Evolution|evolve]], but if it does not want to, it struggles to resist the transformation. Many Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} in a ceremony led by a {{p|Venusaur}}.<ref>''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''</ref> Its vines are long and strong enough to allow Bulbasaur to grab the branches of trees and pull itself up to reach {{Berries}}.<ref>[[Bulbasaur (SWSH Promo 303)]]</ref> As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Bulbasaur sits still and basks in sunny spots during its sleep, possibly trying to absorb nutrients from its seed to grow big.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Main series===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|Bulbasaur in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Bulbasaur debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]], thus also marking the species' physical debut. Though initially wary of Ash, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was {{pkmn2|caught}}. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were caught in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's [[party]] for most of his {{pkmn|journey}} through [[Johto]] until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

=====[[May's Bulbasaur]]=====
Much later on, while Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], {{an|May}} caught her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. She remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to win the {{ci|Purika}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and place Top 8 in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to learn from Ash's while she, Ash, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} traveled throughout the Kanto region. May retrieved her during her travels in [[Johto]], where she evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

=====[[Shauna's Bulbasaur]]=====
{{an|Shauna}}'s first partner Pokémon is a Bulbasaur she received from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. It first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', and it was revealed to have evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} by ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a group of {{pkmn2|wild}} Bulbasaur gathered in the [[Mysterious Garden]] and took part in a festival where they all evolved into Ivysaur en masse. They also took Ash's Bulbasaur to the garden with them, though it refused to evolve.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Bulbasaur was cloned from Ash's own Bulbasaur. The cloned Bulbasaur participated in the battle between the original Pokémon and the cloned Pokémon. Bulbasaur reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] during his childhood when it wouldn't evolve into Ivysaur. Since then, it grew to a very large size in the sewers. Aided by {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had been taken by the giant Bulbasaur. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and his friends left the Bulbasaur with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}} was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]], but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]], forcing Gilbert to set out to find them with {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, and {{Delia}}.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Bulbasaur and Ivysaur traveled to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} that was under construction in [[Vermilion City]]. Ash and [[Goh]], who were investigating the outbreak, followed them to the Gym and realized the horde had gone there so the Bulbasaur could absorb the sunlight necessary to evolve into new Ivysaur.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and the Japanese {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Professor Oak]] classifies Bulbasaur as the "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) when the player is about to choose it as their [[first partner Pokémon]], using the term while referring to its {{t|Grass|type}}. In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, he calls it the "grass Pokémon".
** This also occurs in the [[PO01|first episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]].
* Bulbasaur is one of only two first partner Pokémon that is dual-[[type]] in its initial form, with the other being {{p|Rowlet}}.
* Bulbasaur's evolutionary line is the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon to be part of a first partner Pokémon family.
* Bulbasaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], a Bulbasaur with an English name couldn't be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Bulbasaur is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg|Grass}} or {{egg2|Monster}}s can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, Bulbasaur can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding. In [[Generation V]] onwards, Bulbasaur can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Bulbasaur could learn Vine Whip at level 7 instead of Leech Seed. This oversight was later fixed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
* According to the [[Trainer Race]] quiz minigame from [[PokéROM]], the word "strong" is a good adjective to describe Bulbasaur.
* In the {{pmin|Brazil|Brazilian Portuguese}} [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Bulbasaur is intentionally referred to as "Bulbassauro", despite its name still maintaining the English spelling in written media. The same is true for its evolved forms.
* This wiki is named after Bulbasaur, isn't that cool?

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* While Bulbasaur is not considered to be part of the [[List of references to Pokémon in science|inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Bulbasaurus}}'', a genus of {{wp|dicynodont}}s, it has been noted that the similarities "may not be entirely coincidental".<ref>Sloat, Sarah. (February 1, 2017). "[https://www.inverse.com/article/27179-bulbasaurus-dicynodont-pokemon-dinosaur Scientists Who Discovered Bulbasaurus Didn’t Name It After a Pokémon]." ''Inverse''.</ref>

===Concept and development===
Bulbasaur was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/)</ref>

===Origin===
Bulbasaur is based on a {{wp|frog}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Interview with Jun'ichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori about ''Pokémon Black and White Versions'' (archived - Japanese text)]</ref><ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. According to [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Atsuko Nishida]], the latter designed Bulbasaur working backward from Venusaur, meaning Bulbasaur was the last of its evolutionary line to have been designed and was also directly based on Venusaur.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu /> The bulb on its back resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur is a combination of ''{{wp|bulb}}''<ref>(January 1999).
