Talk:List of Pokémon by availability

Pacter: /* Event Pokémon inconsistency */

== Hi there! ==
If you know a fix that needs to be made, go right ahead and fix it: this page isn't (or oughtn't be) protected. But if you can't fix it, for example because a protected template is broken, please still report it here! --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]] 09:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Radar ==
Ought we made those available by Radar alone be "Ra"? It'd be easy enough to add... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:Glow ahead. '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]] 00:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
:I think the templates need to be changed before we can add stuff like "Ra" for Radar, and we probably need a "W" for Walker. Also, what about swarms in HGSS? They're currently listed as "C" but shouldn't they be "S"? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 08:09, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
::The swarms have now been marked, thanks. What's a good plan for changing the template? --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]] 09:58, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Disponibility for Hoenn and Sinnoh Sound ==
Put disponibility for Hoenn and Sinnoh Sound, please!--Ash 22:21, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
:Huh? I don't follow. I'm pretty sure "disponibility" is availability, but what are Hoenn and Sinnoh Sound? (Was under HGSS heading) --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]] 09:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::Perhaps [[Pokémon Music Channel|this]] is what Ash is looking for? It looks like the already existed when I made this post, but shouldn't it have its own icon? --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 03:13, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pruned ==
I've pruned this talk page of resolved issues, as of this timestamp. With thanks to LaprasBoi, ht14, and JDigital, for adding issues which I claim that I've resolved. --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]] 09:41, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:If we want an archive page or something, it's certainly possible to restore one from the history. --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]] 10:18, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Black and White ==
Looks like it is possible to catch some, but not all, earlier-generation Pokémon again? So we'll need to extend the templates for the earlier sections to allow input of B&W data. Also a potential opportunity to extend the template functionality as discussed above under Radar. --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]]
:We may want a third column for Dream World availability, if that's stable, per discussion at [[Template_talk:Availability]]. --[[User:Eskay|Eskay]] 20:01, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::Also remember that there's something new besides the Dream World: the [[PokéShifter]] . {{unsigned|EzekielMaple}}
:::What's the point of having things like [[Poké Transfer]] and [[Pal Park]] if they aren't used? They seem close enough to [[trade]] anyway. Also, what if the Pokémon can be obtained with more than one method. For example, {{p|Qwilfish}} can be obtained in both [[phenomenon#Rippling water|rippling water]] (catch) and the [[Pokémon Dream World]].

== Adding Pokéwalker info ==

Since Dream World info is planned to be added, and it is not strictly part of the games, how come there's no mention about adding Pokéwalker info? [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 04:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
:Well, I don't believe that the [[Pokémon Dream World]], the [[Pokéwalker]], and events are truly in-game, so I'm proposing a move to List of Pokémon by availability. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 03:18, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

== Event Pokémon inconsistency ==

I was under the impression that Ev stood for in-game event (GS Ball, Navel Rock, Flower Garden, etc). However, the chart lists Mewtwo as Ev in Black and White, where there is no in-game event for Mewtwo. Does Ev now stand for any Pokémon obtained in an event download? If so, there's a hell of a lot of editing that needs to be done to the Gen II, Gen III and Gen IV sections to reflect all of the event downloads that were released for them, too (including releases by Toys R US, Gamestop etc).

I don't mind which way it is (although I'd prefer the former). It's just the lack of consistency that's confusing.

This is a list of Pokémon by the main series game in which they are obtainable.

==Key==

===Obtained by Poké Ball===
The following denote Pokémon which can be caught in the wild.

* '''C''': Catch. The Pokémon can be caught in the wild. This includes [[Poké Radar]]-exclusive Pokémon, the [[Safari Zone]], and the [[Sinnoh]] [[Great Marsh]].
* '''S''': [[Mass Outbreak|Swarms]]. The Pokémon can be caught in the wild, but only during swarms. In Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD, 'S' instead stands for [[snagging]].
* '''D''': [[Dual-slot mode]]. The Pokémon can be caught in the wild in this game, but only when the appropriate [[Generation III]] game is inserted into the GBA slot.

===Obtained by other method===

* '''B''': [[Pokémon breeding|Breed]]. The Pokémon cannot be caught in this game, but a later evolution can be obtained. This can breed to produce the Pokémon in this game.
* '''E''': [[Evolution|Evolve]]. The Pokémon cannot be caught in this game, but a previous evolution can be obtained. This can evolve into the Pokémon in this game.
* '''R''': Receive. The Pokémon cannot be caught in this game, but can be received as a [[starter Pokémon]], as an in-game gift, or as an in-game trade.

===Not available===

* '''Ev''': [[Event]]. The Pokémon can be obtained via a Nintendo event.
* '''P''': [[Pal Park]]. The Pokémon can be migrated from a [[Generation III]] game.
* '''PS''': [[Poké Transfer]]. The Pokémon can be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game.
* '''DW''': {{pkmn|Dream World}}. The Pokémon can be obtained via the Dream World.
* '''T''': [[Trade]]. The Pokémon can be traded from another game.

==Trivia==
* Despite {{p|Pikachu}} being the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}} and {{p|Dodrio}} have been obtainable in more games, with each obtainable in every game except [[Pokémon Colosseum|one]].
*The legendary golems are the only non-event Pokémon unavailable in Generation IV without Pal Park, not including Phione as it is unavailable without Manaphy, itself being an event Pokémon.
**However, they are available in [[Pokémon Platinum Version]] with an [[List_of_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_with_in-game_effects#Regigigas|event Regigigas]].

== Ciao! ==

I'd like to talk you about the Finnish titles for one more time. The last time I contacted you, I actually lied, because I still had some Finnish Battle Frontier titles left. Now I'm sure that we now have every Finnish title of every Finnish dubbed episodes of Pokémon (I also keep filling the new titles as they come out). But I spotted one weird thing: I no matter how I searched, the titles of [[AG178]]-[[AG183]] and [[AG186]]-[[AG187]] remained undubbed. I'm a bit confused: the article [[Pokémon in Finland]] says that these episodes should have been dubbed, but there is no sign of dubbed titles. I know a Finnish user who has connections to behind the scenes (some kind of), but he/she isn't always active, and he/she is now having a "brake", so I turned to you. I don't know if you know anything about this, but I still try. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, they have been dubbed and released once in MTV3 Juniori; I have also seen them all. However, I don't have the titles.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:42, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
::A bit odd, if you ask from me. They release the episodes, but they don't give any dubbed titles. Odd indeed... --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 15:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:::Now I'm having trouble translating the Finnish title of [[DP147]], which is "Etsivä löytää". Any suggestions? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 08:51, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
::::Yeah, that's pretty hard. Maybe "Searcher will find"?--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 08:18, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
:::::It's also the best that I can think of, so I'm putting it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:40, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::I'm not completely satisfied with the translations of the titles of [[EP071]] and [[AG089]]. Got any better ones? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 16:22, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
:::::::Done.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 19:18, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
::::::Now I have a title to translate that is not from an episode, but from a song: [[The Time Has Come (Pikachu's Goodbye)]]. I made a translation, but I'm not completely sure about the order of the words and etc. Also I made some additions to [[Pokémon in Finland]], and I'd like you to check it out and make it's style "more correct" if needed. Thanks.{{unsigned|FinnishPokéFan92}}
:::::::IMO everything looks fine as it is.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:54, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

== WHY?!?!? ==

Why did you delete and Image I uploaded? [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] 05:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
:Okay, first Dennou doesn't have powers to delete the images. Second, you uploaded an image with .jpg extension while the image upload form clearly says "''.png for sprites, screenshots, icons, diagrams, and simple images''". Along with that, the image was small 342 x 192 and its quality wasn't good either. That is why it was deleted. Please do not blame users without any confirmation, thank you. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 05:38, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm trying to convince the community that Gary's Umbreon using Agility is the same circumstances as Misty's Staryu using "Counter", but only one person has responded, supposedly on the community's behalf. I'd like one or two more opinions if you could take time. Thanks a lot.

== Is this allowed? ==

[[User talk:Lucarita|This user]] has a rather long seemlying userspace related story on their talk page. If this a volation of the talk page policy, can you handle it since you have been here longer than me? I don't think I could put it in nice enough terms.

== Thanks for the protip ==

Thanks for the help, so I cannot add any more user tags until tomorrow, eh? Rulers are rules I suppose. So I guess all I can say is thanks for the heads up and all. ([[User:BurningTyphlosion|BurningTyphlosion]] 15:23, 8 December 2011 (UTC))

The '''third generation''' of Pokémon games, also sometimes known as the '''advance''' or '''advanced generation''', is the third set of Pokémon games released, and is described by some to be a "{{wp|reboot (fiction)|resetting}}" of the series.

Centering around {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} on the [[Game Boy Advance]], released in 2002 and 2004 respectively (2003 and 2005 outside of Japan), Generation III broke from the continuous storyline that had been established between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], opting instead to move players to the [[Hoenn]] region, an island [[region]] disconnected from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. The games themselves are incompatible with the previous two generations as well, initially causing many complaints due to the unavailability of many popular Generation I and II Pokémon in Ruby and Sapphire. This problem was remedied, however, between the release of Hoenn's paired versions and third version, with remakes of Generation I's {{game|Red and Green|s}} appearing as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} on the Game Boy Advance, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]].

Details in the Hoenn- and Kanto-based games hint that the storyline of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald is contemporaneous with that of FireRed and LeafGreen (and due to this, contemporaneous with Generation I as well), placing Generation III three years before Generation II and [[Generation IV]], themselves contemporaneous. It is unknown where the storylines of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] fall in the timeline, being five years apart from each other but making no reference to their time period relative to any of the other games.

==Advances in gameplay==
Through its incompatibility with [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], Generation III enhanced the Pokémon world the most yet, bringing about the most changes to the world of Pokémon. The advances include:
*The addition of {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}}, the most added since Generation I (at the time of its release), bringing the total to 386. Many new Pokémon have previously unseen type combinations, while only two of them are related by evolution to older Pokémon.
**Two new forms of {{p|Unown}} are also introduced.
*The addition of 103 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 354.
*Pokémon may now have one or two of 77 different [[Ability|abilities]] which can change the tide of battle.
*The [[Pokémon storage system]] has changed from a text-based interface to a full-color graphical user interface. Boxes, while remaining at 14, now have 10 extra spaces, allowing for storage of 140 additional Pokémon (for a total of 420 Pokémon).
*The introduction of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, where Pokémon show off their style in one of five [[Contest category|Contest categories]], with Contest stats enhanced by [[Pokéblock]]s. Through this and other methods [[ribbons]] can be won for pokémon, which they wil retain when transfered to a Generation IV game.
*A brand-new region, [[Hoenn]], with its own set of eight [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]]. Player characters are also different from before.
*Seven new {{DL|Poké Ball|Generation III Poké Balls|Poké Ball}} variants, replacing those found in Johto.
*New [[villainous teams]], [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]], whose focus is on capturing the legendary Pokémon {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, respectively.
*[[Weather conditions]], introduced before, can now be found on the field and activate at the start of battle, while one more, hail, has been added.
*[[Double battle]]s, where both sides use two Pokémon at a time, introduced.
*Communication capabilities with the [[e-Reader]] to activate certain events.
*All handheld Generation III games have a framerate of 60, allowing for smoother animations.
*Link trades and battles are made possible between Japanese and international releases due to the use of a worldwide character set. Due to the fact that online trading was introduced only in Generation IV, however, most are not made aware of this.

Major alterations from Generation II include:
*A complete overhaul of the Pokémon data structure; Pokémon now have an individual [[personality value]] which can range up to a number above four billion. [[Ability|Abilities]] and [[nature]]s, also newly introduced, are determined based on this value, as is a Pokémon's [[gender]], while the [[Individual values|IV]] system has been overhauled for greater variance (0-31 rather than 0-15 as it was before). {{shiny|Shininess}} is now based on a calculation between the personality value and [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and secret ID number with the same rarity.
*An overhaul of the [[Berry]] system introduced in Generation II: old Berries rejected in favor of Berries which grow individually as plants and can be picked and planted elsewhere. The effects of the first ten new Berries are similar to the ten Generation II Berries.
*Each Pokémon has its own status screen sprite, for ease of use in the party screen or PC.

Further additions in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} include:
*Wireless communication between games (requires adapter boxed with FireRed and LeafGreen).
*The ability to move multiple Pokémon in the PC at once.
*The [[Sevii Islands]], a collection of nine islands that contain many Pokémon otherwise only found in the [[Johto]] region.

Further additions in Emerald include:
*[[Tag battle]]s, where two opponent Trainers encounter the player at once and battle in a double battle.
*A {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, adding to the original {{ho|Battle Tower}}, and featuring [[Frontier Brain|Trainers who head each facility]].

===Alterations from Generation II===
* The function of the [[time|built-in clock]] was greatly reduced. There are no cosmetic changes during different times of day and Pokémon appearances are not affected by time. Also, the day of the week is no longer tracked.
* The seven [[Poké Ball]]s made from [[Apricorn]]s, along with Apricorns themselves, are unavailable in Generation III.

==Regions==
===Hoenn===
[[File:HoennIIIE.png|thumb|right|Hoenn]]
{{main|Hoenn}}
The [[Hoenn]] region, situated somewhat southwest of [[Johto]], was introduced in Generation III. It is more tropical than either [[Kanto]] or Johto, featuring {{rt|119|Hoenn|rainforests}}, {{rt|111|Hoenn|deserts}}, and [[Fiery Path|volcanic caves]], as well as areas deep [[underwater]].

This region's geography is mostly rural on the interior of the continent, with major cities springing up near its ample coasts. [[Route]]s between the cities can be treacherous, with densely-forested area covering much of the land. [[Legendary Pokémon]] are said to have created the region long ago, with its shape reminiscent of a {{wp|Taijitu|yin-yang symbol}} reflecting the balance between land and sea.

Several ancient ruins are found around the region; their purpose remains to be discovered by the player, though ancient writings found deep beneath the sea south of the region indicate that within them are ancient Pokémon who were sealed away due to their power.

====Starter Pokémon====
Like before, the starter trio follows the Grass-Fire-Water alignment, with new Pokémon {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} being the three Pokémon the player has to choose from to save [[Professor Birch]] from a wild {{p|Poochyena}} ({{p|Zigzagoon}} in {{v2|Emerald}}) at the start of the game.

====Gym Leaders====
Being that there are only 17 types, and [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], during Generation I and II, had [[Gym]]s specializing in 16 of them, all of the types of the [[Gym Leader]]s of Hoenn are the same as that of a Gym Leader in one of the previous regions. As before, all Gym Leaders give out badges and [[TM]]s on their defeat.

===Kanto===
[[File:FRLG Kanto.png|thumb|right|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
Kanto, which in Generation II lacked some features from its original appearance, returned in a state closer to its original form {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, with all features from [[Generation I]] brought back and improved.

====Starter Pokémon====
As the Generation III games taking place in Kanto are remakes of Generation I games, the starters are the same as in that generation; they are the Grass-type {{p|Bulbasaur}}, the Fire-type {{p|Charmander}}, and the Water-type {{p|Squirtle}}.

====Gym Leaders====
Like the starter Pokémon, the Kanto Gym Leaders are also the same as they were before, with each giving out a TM for the player to use freely as well as their badge.

===Sevii Islands===
The Sevii Islands, appearing only in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, are a smaller region without a Pokémon League where the player can journey later in the game. These islands make available many {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to players of the Generation III games, and through events, allow for the capture of Generation II's [[version mascot]]s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}} and the mysterious Pokémon {{p|Deoxys}}.

==Other Generation III games==
[[Pokémon Colosseum]], for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], features a new land called [[Orre]] where several [[Generation II]] and Generation III Pokémon are altered by two teams called [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]]. Players must "snag" the "[[Shadow Pokémon]]" and cure them of their darkness. Once this is completed, the Pokémon may be transferred to the other Generation III games. Pokémon Colosseum is the first 3D Pokémon RPG. This game also features an advanced [[Stadium Mode]] similar to those of the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]] games.

[[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] is another Generation III game for the Nintendo GameCube. It allows:
* Storage of up to 1500 Pokémon from Ruby, Sapphire, FireRed, LeafGreen and Emerald Versions.
* Playing Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire on the television through emulation.

[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], also for the Nintendo GameCube, follows a storyline that takes place a few years after the story of Colosseum. It allows for snagging of rare Generation I, II, and III Pokémon as well, and includes a difficult-to-purify final Shadow Pokémon, a [[Shadow Lugia]].

Three spin-off Pokémon games are based on Generation III, [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby and Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]] and [[Pokémon Trozei!]].

==Discussion of Generation III==
While the opinion of the fandom shifts from time to time, Generation III is notable for drawing the most criticism for the series yet. The sense of a reboot when players were thrust into Hoenn (which excludes 184 of the older 251 Pokémon from availability) with no way to recover their old Pokémon drew ire. The game also saw a jump in newly-introduced legendary Pokémon, with 10 more introduced, a significant increase from Generation II, which only introduced 6.

Later games improved this, however, with Emerald's return to Hoenn being a welcome addition to the series (and including the first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} in the series as well). FireRed and LeafGreen brought back nostalgic fans who decided to pass on Hoenn's primary paired versions due to their nature in being somewhat of a reboot, as well as brought newer fans the joy of the Kanto region, only previously available in its fullest state on the vastly outdated [[Game Boy]] with poor monochrome graphics.

=== Hoenn thematic motif ===
The third generation of Pokémon games were more directed towards nature and relationships. The three starters were collectively more symbolic to their elements than previous starters: {{p|Mudkip}} is based on a fish which thrives only in {{t|Water}}, {{p|Torchic}} is a chick (which, in the real world, needs warmth in order to hatch) holding its {{t|Fire}} internally, and {{p|Treecko}} is a gecko that lives only in forests with {{t|Grass}}. The main antagonists were either [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] who want to expand the land or sea respectively. Once they awaken one of the legendary Pokémon {{p|Kyogre}} or {{p|Groudon}}, the world is flooded by rain or dried by drought. It's up to the player to set nature back on course by defeating their version's mascot or capturing it. Hoenn's people are far more attuned to nature than previous regions: [[Fortree City]] is built alongside Pokémon in the trees, while [[Pacifidlog Town]] is built on wooden rafts in the sea atop a {{p|Corsola}} colony.

There are far more Pokémon that share relationships with other Pokémon in this generation of games, especially the legendaries. The [[legendary golems]] are more obvious of this; however, the version mascots all share a relationship with {{p|Rayquaza}} as the [[weather trio]]. {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} are both Eon Pokémon that must be chased around the region, while standard Pokémon such as {{p|Lunatone}}, {{p|Illumise}}, {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Wailord}} are related to the other Pokémon: {{p|Solrock}}, {{p|Volbeat}}, {{p|Minun}} and {{p|Relicanth}} ranging from explicit to loose symbiosis. {{p|Zangoose}} is rivaled by {{p|Seviper}}. With {{m|Secret Power}}, a player can make a [[secret base]] out of trees, caves or clumps of grass. Hoenn was meant to establish Pokémon far more so into nature and symbiosis than previous installments.

==Trivia==
* Generation III was the first generation to:
**Include both a mother and [[Norman|father]] for the main character.
**Introduce two [[Weather trio|legendary]] [[Legendary golems|trios]].
**Introduce two {{pkmn2|Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendaries}}.
**Not introduce any new [[Evolution|evolutions]] for {{p|Eevee}}
**Introduce a pure Steel-type and pure Ice-type Pokémon
* Generation III does not introduce any evolved forms of Pokémon from previous generations (a trait shared with [[Generation V]]) with the only cross-generational relatives being baby Pokémon {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Wynaut}}.
* Generation III has the largest number of [[main series]] games with five handheld games and three console games.
* Starting with Generation III, [[Ken Sugimori]]'s art style shows noticeable differences from that of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}. This can be seen when comparing the artwork for {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Ethan}}, and {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|Generation I}} and {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|II}} Pokémon from their original games to that of those games' remakes.
* Most of the Generation III Pokémon that are not in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] have only one sprite in the [[Generation IV]] games. {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} received sprite updates in {{game|Platinum}}, while Generation I and II Pokémon received updates in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Generation III had the quickest transition from Japanese to English, with only a four month gap between the Japanese and North American releases of Ruby and Sapphire.
* Generation III was the only generation where the current total of known Pokémon was an even number (386).
* Almost all of non-Generation III Pokémon backsprites are revamps of those in [[Generation II]] games.
* Generation III is the longest generation in North America, lasting slightly over four years.

'''Deep Colosseum''' (Japanese: '''ボトムコロシアム''' ''Bottom Colosseum'') is a Colosseum located under [[The Under]]. After the main storyline of {{g|Colosseum}} has ended, [[Wes]] can challenge [[Gonzap]] at the [[Snagem Hideout]]. After his defeat, he grants him a [[D-Disk]] that will allow access to the Deep Colosseum.

The finale of each challenge of this Colosseum is a {{tc|Cipher Admin}}, starting with Miror B., then going in the order they were defeated during the course of the game: [[Dakim]], [[Venus]], [[Ein]]. This also allows another chance for the player to snag their [[Shadow Pokémon]]. After all of them have been defeated, [[Agnol|a final Cipher member]] and [[Agnol|king of the Deep]] appears, who has a [[Shadow Pokémon|Shadow]] {{p|Shuckle}}.

This Colosseum has possibly some of the strongest trainers and valuable prizes. After all of the Cipher admins have been defeated once more, the Colosseum can continue to be challenged, with high rewards.

==Environment==
The Deep Colosseum is an unknown depth below The Under. There is a giant hidden automatic door that serves as an entrance. Directly behind it is the a lobby similar to the lobbies of the other Colosseums in Orre. The Colosseum itself is a gigantic open area with bleachers for spectators. There is a giant rotating fan directly above the battlefield. The Colosseum itself is surrounded by almost all sides by vast, complicated networks of seemingly infinite pipes of varying sizes. It distance from the reception desk is unknown. One worker even claims to have reached the Deep Colosseum by just digging downward by shovel.

'''Route 3''' is a rugged mountain road located in northwest [[Kanto]]. Its western terminus is at [[Pewter City]] and its eastern terminus is at the western foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. The contour of the [[route]] is designed to be only a singular path from west to east, with ledges that lead down and curve around back to the western segment. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} isn't allowed to set foot on Route 3 until [[Brock]] has been defeated, as a man will be blocking the pathway to the route.

==Route description==
For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level [[route]]. Heading east from [[Pewter City]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face a small clearing that creates a fork in the road, and allows travel north or south, with south curving around eastern and then leading to a dead end. In order to progress, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half that, in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, is packed with Trainers. At any point, Trainers can jump the ledges located south of this path, to access a middle section of the route between two ledges. Most of this area contains items, as well as another Trainer waiting for battle. By hopping the ledge again, Trainer are able to travel west which curves north back to the clearing at the start of the route. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead Trainers into the paths of more rival Trainers.

East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of [[tall grass]] containing [[wild Pokémon]], that takes up most of the area. This patch, which contains another Trainer, follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge taking the route to a large clearing, east again which travels across the clearing, and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route, which has a fence as well as a [[signpost]], which gives out directions.

There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards {{rt|4|Kanto}} and the mysterious [[Mt. Moon]]. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a [[Pokémon Center]], one of two in [[Kanto]] that is not located in a populated area (the other being on {{rt|10|Kanto}} near the north portal of the [[Rock Tunnel]]). In Generation III, {{m|Fly}} will be able to return to this location instantly, but not in any other [[Generation]]s. In the center, a man attempts to scam Trainers by selling the extremely common {{p|Magikarp}} for relatively high prices.

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I and III===
The only changes along Route 3 between these two [[Generation]]s are cosmetic, such as the reconstruction of the surrounding landscape. The barriers on either side of the route are removed in the Generation III remakes, while the large patch of tall grass in the center of the route becomes considerably smaller. Also the set of trees have been removed in Generation I and have been replaced by a rocky mountain setting. Other than this, most of the route remains the same.

===Generation II===
Many changes were made to Route 3 in [[Generation II]]. First, the route was shortened significantly. Also, the number of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s along the path was reduced to four. Similarly, the size of the grass patches were reduced by nearly 50%.

Traveling east from [[Pewter City]], the route passes two barriers on either side of the road, and cuts to a clearing that creates a fork in the road, and allows travel north or south, with south curving around eastern and then leading to a dead end. In order to progress, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route, so at any point, Trainers can jump the ledges located south of this path, to access a middle section of the route between two ledges, and then again, so Trainer are able to travel west which curves north back to the clearing at the start of the route.

East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a small patch of [[tall grass]]. The size of the tall grass has been reduced by about half. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge taking the route to a large clearing, east again which travels across the clearing, and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass which has also been reduced in size, which has a fence as well as a [[signpost]], which gives out directions.

Part of Route 4 has been combined with Route 3 so now only one route connects Pewter with [[Mt. Moon]], however, the Pokémon Center is no longer there. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards [[Mt. Moon]].

===Generation IV===
[[File:DeoxysRocks.png|thumb|right|200px|The meteorites located at the southwest end of Route 3]]
In [[Generation IV]], the route is different from other generations, with some area changes, as well as major aesthetic features enhanced, including depth and sprite changes. The trees removed in Generation III return, and the east area of the route changes too. Hills, rocks, and {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rocks}} are added near [[Mt. Moon]], now part of this route like in Generation II. An additional area at the southwest end of the route allows players to change their {{p|Deoxys}}'s current form by interacting with different meteorites. Also, a new hill is placed south of the [[tall grass]].

For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route. Heading east, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead Trainers into the paths of more rival Trainers. East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of grass containing wild Pokémon. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east, south, east and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards Mt. Moon. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a Pokémon Center.

Three unique items have also been scattered around the place, including a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}, located near a {{tc|Firebreather}}; a {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}}, located near the meteors; and a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, hidden near the [[Pokémon Center]]. The number of Trainers along the path has been increased to eleven. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the entrance of [[Mt. Moon]] returns but the area around it was reduced significantly in size.

==In the anime==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} hiked along Route 3 in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. They were on their way to [[Mt. Moon]], when they encountered a man being attacked by a flock of {{p|Zubat}}. Ash ordered {{AP|Pikachu}} to fire a {{m|ThunderShock}}. The Zubat flew away, and the man, who was wearing a lab coat, squeezed Ash and thanked him profusely. He introduced himself as [[Seymour]] the scientist.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
{{Adv|Red}} passed through Route 3 in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, when a [[Gyara]]dos belonging to [[Misty]] was out of control. With Misty's help, Red was able to capture Gyarados (even though that should not have been possible, since Misty already owned it). There was also a [[Pokémon Center]] where Red contacted {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Route3shorts.png|thumb|200px|left|Youngster exclaiming, "I like shorts"]]
[[File:Route 3 shorts Gen I.gif|thumb|200px|right|The original quote in Generation I]]
* When {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Colton first approaches the {{player}} he says "I saw you in [[Viridian Forest]].", though there is no Bug Catcher named Colton in Viridian Forest. He also says "You beat me again!" after defeat. This is also true in the Japanese versions, as there is no Bug Catcher named Hisashi in Viridian Forest. This error is a carryover from [[Generation I]], where no Bug Catcher, nor any other Trainer class aside from [[Elite Four]] members and [[Gym Leader]]s, had specific names (making it presumable that one could encounter the same Trainer twice in different areas).
* Route 3 is the scene of a famous quote among Pokémon fans, where a {{tc|Youngster}} exclaims, "Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!" Further along in the route, another Youngster exclaims "Hey! You're not wearing shorts!"
* The music that plays in Route 3 is one of the most common location-specific themes in the {{pkmn|games}}, playing in [[Route]]s 3, {{rtn|4|Kanto}}, {{rtn|5|Kanto}}, {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, {{rtn|7|Kanto}}, {{rtn|8|Kanto}}, {{rtn|9|Kanto}}, {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, {{rtn|16|Kanto}}, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, {{rtn|18|Kanto}}, {{rtn|19|Kanto}}, {{rtn|20|Kanto}}, {{rtn|21|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|22|Kanto}}. It also plays in {{rt|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and on {{rt|2|Kanto}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Although there are 7 breakable rocks around the Pokémon Center in HeartGold and SoulSilver, there are no wild Pokémon to be found under them.
** As a result, Route 3 is the best place for collecting items found via {{m|Rock Smash}}.

'''Route 3''' is a rugged mountain road located in northwest [[Kanto]]. Its western terminus is at [[Pewter City]] and its eastern terminus is at the western foot of [[Mt. Moon]]. The contour of the [[route]] is designed to be only a singular path from west to east, with ledges that lead down and curve around back to the western segment. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, the {{player}} isn't allowed to set foot on Route 3 until [[Brock]] has been defeated, as a man will be blocking the pathway to the route.

==Route description==
For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level [[route]]. Heading east from [[Pewter City]], {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face a small clearing that creates a fork in the road, and allows travel north or south, with south curving around eastern and then leading to a dead end. In order to progress, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half that, in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, is packed with Trainers. At any point, Trainers can jump the ledges located south of this path, to access a middle section of the route between two ledges. Most of this area contains items, as well as another Trainer waiting for battle. By hopping the ledge again, Trainer are able to travel west which curves north back to the clearing at the start of the route. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead Trainers into the paths of more rival Trainers.

East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of [[tall grass]] containing [[wild Pokémon]], that takes up most of the area. This patch, which contains another Trainer, follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge taking the route to a large clearing, east again which travels across the clearing, and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route, which has a fence as well as a [[signpost]], which gives out directions.

There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards {{rt|4|Kanto}} and the mysterious [[Mt. Moon]]. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a [[Pokémon Center]], one of two in [[Kanto]] that is not located in a populated area (the other being on {{rt|10|Kanto}} near the north portal of the [[Rock Tunnel]]). In Generation III, {{m|Fly}} will be able to return to this location instantly, but not in any other [[Generation]]s. In the center, a man attempts to scam Trainers by selling the extremely common {{p|Magikarp}} for relatively high prices.

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I and III===
The only changes along Route 3 between these two [[Generation]]s are cosmetic, such as the reconstruction of the surrounding landscape. The barriers on either side of the route are removed in the Generation III remakes, while the large patch of tall grass in the center of the route becomes considerably smaller. Also the set of trees have been removed in Generation I and have been replaced by a rocky mountain setting. Other than this, most of the route remains the same.

===Generation II===
Many changes were made to Route 3 in [[Generation II]]. First, the route was shortened significantly. Also, the number of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s along the path was reduced to four. Similarly, the size of the grass patches were reduced by nearly 50%.

Traveling east from [[Pewter City]], the route passes two barriers on either side of the road, and cuts to a clearing that creates a fork in the road, and allows travel north or south, with south curving around eastern and then leading to a dead end. In order to progress, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route, so at any point, Trainers can jump the ledges located south of this path, to access a middle section of the route between two ledges, and then again, so Trainer are able to travel west which curves north back to the clearing at the start of the route.

East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a small patch of [[tall grass]]. The size of the tall grass has been reduced by about half. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east past the hilly terrain, south past another ledge taking the route to a large clearing, east again which travels across the clearing, and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass which has also been reduced in size, which has a fence as well as a [[signpost]], which gives out directions.

Part of Route 4 has been combined with Route 3 so now only one route connects Pewter with [[Mt. Moon]], however, the Pokémon Center is no longer there. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards [[Mt. Moon]].

===Generation IV===
[[File:DeoxysRocks.png|thumb|right|200px|The meteorites located at the southwest end of Route 3]]
In [[Generation IV]], the route is different from other generations, with some area changes, as well as major aesthetic features enhanced, including depth and sprite changes. The trees removed in Generation III return, and the east area of the route changes too. Hills, rocks, and {{m|Rock Smash|smashable rocks}} are added near [[Mt. Moon]], now part of this route like in Generation II. An additional area at the southwest end of the route allows players to change their {{p|Deoxys}}'s current form by interacting with different meteorites. Also, a new hill is placed south of the [[tall grass]].

For its western half, Route 3 is a split-level route. Heading east, Trainers must turn north after the route opens up and progress east along the northern half. The southern half of the route is only accessible by hopping down ledges that will lead Trainers into the paths of more rival Trainers. East of the second pair of ledges, the route curves south before returning east near a large patch of grass containing wild Pokémon. This patch follows the route until the path turns north ahead of a hill. From this point, the route makes a backward "S" curve, turning east, south, east and, finally, to the north, passing the second patch of grass on the route. There are no obstacles along the remainder of the route as it proceeds north towards Mt. Moon. Just before the entrance to the cave, there is a Pokémon Center.

Three unique items have also been scattered around the place, including a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}, located near a {{tc|Firebreather}}; a {{DL|Valuable item|Star Piece}}, located near the meteors; and a {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}, hidden near the [[Pokémon Center]]. The number of Trainers along the path has been increased to eleven. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the entrance of [[Mt. Moon]] returns but the area around it was reduced significantly in size.

==In the anime==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} hiked along Route 3 in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''. They were on their way to [[Mt. Moon]], when they encountered a man being attacked by a flock of {{p|Zubat}}. Ash ordered {{AP|Pikachu}} to fire a {{m|ThunderShock}}. The Zubat flew away, and the man, who was wearing a lab coat, squeezed Ash and thanked him profusely. He introduced himself as [[Seymour]] the scientist.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
{{Adv|Red}} passed through Route 3 in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, when a [[Gyara]]dos belonging to [[Misty]] was out of control. With Misty's help, Red was able to capture Gyarados (even though that should not have been possible, since Misty already owned it). There was also a [[Pokémon Center]] where Red contacted {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Route3shorts.png|thumb|200px|left|Youngster exclaiming, "I like shorts"]]
[[File:Route 3 shorts Gen I.gif|thumb|200px|right|The original quote in Generation I]]
* When {{tc|Bug Catcher}} Colton first comes up to the {{player}} he says "I saw you in [[Viridian Forest]].", though there is no Bug Catcher named Colton in Viridian Forest. He also says "You beat me again!" after defeat. This is also true in the Japanese versions, as there is no Bug Catcher named Hisashi in Viridian Forest. This error is a carryover from [[Generation I]], where no Bug Catcher, nor any other Trainer class aside from [[Elite Four]] members and [[Gym Leader]]s, had specific names (making it presumable that one could encounter the same Trainer twice in different areas).
* Route 3 is the scene of an famous quote among the Pokémon fandom, where a {{tc|Youngster}} exclaims, "Hi! I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear!" Further along in the route, another Youngster exclaims "Hey! You're not wearing shorts!"
* The music that plays in Route 3 is one of the most common location-specific themes in the {{pkmn|games}}, playing in [[Route]]s 3, {{rtn|4|Kanto}}, {{rtn|5|Kanto}}, {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, {{rtn|7|Kanto}}, {{rtn|8|Kanto}}, {{rtn|9|Kanto}}, {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, {{rtn|16|Kanto}}, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, {{rtn|18|Kanto}}, {{rtn|19|Kanto}}, {{rtn|20|Kanto}}, {{rtn|21|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|22|Kanto}}. It also plays in {{rt|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and on {{rt|2|Kanto}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Although there are 7 breakable rocks around the Pokémon Center in HeartGold and SoulSilver, there are no wild Pokémon to be found under them.
** As a result, Route 3 is the best place for collecting items found via {{m|Rock Smash}}.

'''Petal Dance''' (Japanese: '''はなびらのまい''' ''Petal Dance'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Oddish}} and {{p|Gloom}} in that Generation.

==Effect==
===Generation I-II===
Petal Dance inflicts damage for 2 to 3 turns (chosen at random). Once selected, even if it misses, the user will only be able to use Petal Dance, and will not be able to switch out. At the end of this duration, the user will become {{status|Confusion|confused}}.

If the Petal Dance duration is disrupted, such as by full {{status|paralysis}} or by hurting itself due to confusion, it will immediately end. The user will only become confused if Petal Dance is fully executed, without its duration being disrupted. {{status|Sleep}}, {{status|freeze}}, partial trapping, and {{status|flinch}}ing will pause but not disrupt the duration of Petal Dance.

In Stadium, after the duration of Petal Dance ends, there will be a notice that the user becomes confused.

This move has a power of 70 and has 20 PP.

===Generation III===
The move remains the same. However, in [[double battle]]s its target is a randomly selected enemy.

===Generation IV===
The power of Petal Dance [[List of modified moves|increases]] to 90. All other effects are the same.

===Generation V===
The power of Petal Dance increases to 120, and its PP is reduced to 10. All other effects are the same.

The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them far south of [[Kanto]], and are home to several legendary Pokémon: [[Moltres]], [[Lugia]], [[Ho-Oh]] and [[Deoxys]]. They resemble the real-life {{wp|Izu Islands}} and {{wp|Bonin Islands}}. The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later appeared in [[Pokémon Emerald]]. The Sevii Islands also appeared in various other media based on these games.

==Geography==
The nine Sevii Islands are located to the south of Kanto. According to the ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'''s anime map, the Sevii Islands are in relatively the same area as the Orange Islands and [[New Island]]. These islands cannot be surfed to; to travel from island to island a Pokémon Trainer must take the [[Seagallop Ferries]] from another island or [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

The major seven islands each have a settlement, which are named numerically.
* [[Knot Island]] - {{OBP|One Island|town}}
* [[Boon Island]] - {{OBP|Two Island|town}}
* [[Kin Island]] - {{OBP|Three Island|town}}
* [[Floe Island]] - {{OBP|Four Island|town}}
* [[Chrono Island]] - {{OBP|Five Island|town}}
* [[Fortune Island]] - {{OBP|Six Island|town}}
* [[Quest Island]] - {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}
* [[Navel Rock]]
* [[Birth Island]]

==In the games==
===Plot===
The Sevii Islands follow a trend set by {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and provide most of the post-Elite Four plot in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The Sevii Islands sideplot actually begins as soon as the player has defeated the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and obtained the {{badge|Volcano}}. The first three islands, {{isl|Knot}}, {{isl|Boon}}, and {{isl|Kin}}, are the only areas available until the Elite Four has been defeated, but the plot here is important for continuing the game. By retrieving the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} (and defeating the rival at the Indigo Plateau), the later islands are unlocked.

There is also a plot by [[Team Rocket]] based in the Sevii Islands. It deals with Pokémon evolution, and appears to be the prelude to a plot that is [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|launched three years later]]. Only when the Team Rocket members realize that the player has already defeated Giovanni, who subsequently disbanded Team Rocket, do they give up.

The Sevii Islands is the only area in the extended [[Kanto]] region where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can be obtained; some {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, including the legendary bird {{p|Moltres}}, have had their habitats moved here from their debut generation.

Some of the Sevii Islands used remixed themes from Gold and Silver as background music, such as the ones from [[Violet City]]/[[Olivine City]] ({{obp|Six Island|town}} and {{obp|Seven Island|town}}), [[Azalea Town]]/[[Blackthorn City]] ({{obp|Four Island|town}} and {{obp|Five Island|town}}), and [[Route]]s {{rtn|42|Johto}}, {{rtn|43|Johto}}, {{rtn|44|Johto}}, and the [[Lake of Rage]] (routes on {{isl|Chrono}}, {{isl|Fortune}}, and {{isl|Quest}} Islands).

===Accessibility===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Sevii Islands are accessible from the [[Vermilion City]] harbor via a system of boats called the [[Seagallop Ferry|Seagallop Ferries]]. To be able to access [[Knot Island|Knot]], [[Boon Island|Boon]], and [[Kin Island]]s, one needs a {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}}, received from [[Bill]] after defeating [[Blaine]] on [[Cinnabar Island]]. To be able to access [[Floe Island|Floe]], [[Chrono Island|Chrono]], [[Fortune Island|Fortune]], and [[Quest Island]]s, one needs a {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Rainbow Pass}}, received from [[Celio]] in {{OBP|One Island|town}}, after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. To be able to access [[Navel Rock]], one needs a [[MysticTicket]], and to be able to access [[Birth Island]], one needs a [[AuroraTicket]], both of which can be obtained promotionally with [[Mystery Gift]].

==In other media==
===In the anime===
The Sevii Islands made a fleeting appearance in the anime. They were the setting for ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'': specifically [[Mt. Ember]], which is located on [[Knot Island]]. This appears to have been overlooked by the translation team, and the English dub named the mountain "Mount Magma". The episode dealt with the appearance and attempted capture of {{p|Moltres}}, which roosts at the top of Mt. Ember in FireRed and LeafGreen. A mention to the [[S.S. Anne]] is made in the course of the episode; apparently the vessel used to travel there.

The Sevii Islands also appear in the the anime map released with ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

===In the manga===
The ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga series featured the Sevii Islands as the setting for the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. This chapter focused on the original [[Pokédex holders]] searching for missing relatives, and incorporated in-game events from the Sevii Islands into the plot, such as the {{p|Deoxys}} event on [[Birth Island]].

==Trivia==
* Although there are only nine islands total, some data in the game reserved for location name index points reveal the following values:
** Sevii Isle 6
** Sevii Isle 7
** [[Sevii Isles 8 and 9|Sevii Isle 8]]
** [[Sevii Isles 8 and 9|Sevii Isle 9]]
** Sevii Isle 22
** Sevii Isle 23
** Sevii Isle 24
*** These areas are not accessible during normal gameplay. All of them, save for Sevii Isle 8 and Sevii Isle 9, have no map data.
* The [[route]]s on the Sevii Islands are not numbered, unlike the other regions. This is likely to prevent confusion as to their relation to the others, as continuing where Johto left off (at {{rt|46|Johto}}, at the time the highest-numbered Johto route) would seemingly imply that Johto is accessible in the games.
* Even though {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are considered to be the sequels to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, like how {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were sequels to {{2v2|Red|Green}}, the Sevii Islands do not appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* Of the regions appearing in the main series games at all, the Sevii Islands appear in the fewest, appearing only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Name origin===
* The name possibly comes from ''seven'' and the Roman numeral for seven: ''VII''. The Japanese name ''Nanashima'' literally means "seven islands." According to an old woman on Quest Island, they were named the Sevii Islands because they were made in seven days.

'''Volt Tackle''' (Japanese: '''ボルテッカー''' ''Volteccer'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[signature move]] of the {{p|Pichu}} [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line.

==Effect==
Volt Tackle inflicts damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to ⅓ of the damage done to the target. This move has a 10% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.

==Learnset==
===By {{pkmn|breeding}}===
While Volt Tackle can be performed in ''any'' of the Generation III games, it can only be obtained via {{game|Emerald}} or later. There is only one method of obtaining Volt Tackle, which involves breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} with any Pokémon in the same [[egg group]] (or breed a Pikachu or Raichu of any gender holding a Light Ball with a Ditto). If the Pikachu or Raichu and its mating partner are put into the daycare and they meet the [[Pokémon breeding|conditions]] to produce an egg, the hatched {{p|Pichu}} will have Volt Tackle. Since this will not work in any game prior to Emerald, trading is the only legitimate way of obtaining Volt Tackle in an older game (like {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}).

{{Movefooter|Electric|3}}

===Special move===
A {{p|Pikachu}} that knows Volt Tackle (as well as {{m|Surf}}) can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] after beating all of the colosseums once. The move can also be obtained in the same way as in Generation III. Also, in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} when the {{player}} goes to the shrine with a Pikachu-Colored Pichu, he/she will receive Spiky-eared Pichu, who comes knowing Volt Tackle.

Note that the Surfing Pikachu must forget Surf to be sent to [[Generation V]], and the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] cannot be traded at all.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
<gallery>
File:Pikachu Volt Tackle Prepare SSBB.png|Pikachu preparing to use '''Volt Tackle'''
</gallery>

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Volt Tackle is Pikachu's [[Final Smash]]. When used, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, though it is very hard to control.

===Trophy information===
''"Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."''

==Trivia==
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ''Volteccer'', comes from an attack that [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|a Game Freak game of the same name}}, could use. Both attacks are a reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack was also called Voltekka.
* Volt Tackle is the only move that causes [[recoil]] to have ever been a [[special move]], due to it being an {{type2|Electric}} move introduced in [[Generation III]] (had {{m|Flare Blitz}}, {{m|Wood Hammer}}, and {{m|Wild Charge}} existed in Generation III, they would have been special as well).
*Volt Tackle is the only non-TM, non-move tutor move that cannot be learned via leveling up by any Pokémon.

Satoshi Tajiri

2011-11-18T11:24:24Z

Pacter: /* Pokémon */

[[Image:Satoshi tajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri holding a white DS lite]]
'''Satoshi Tajiri''' (Japanese: '''田尻智''', born August 28, 1965) is the creator of [[Pokémon]], responsible for the initial concepts which would lead to the metaseries as it exists today. Currently, he works as the CEO of [[Game Freak]].

==Early life==
Satoshi Tajiri was born in [[WP:Machida, Tokyo|Machida]], a suburb of Tokyo. His father was a {{wp|Nissan}} salesman and his mother cared for him at home. As a young boy, he loved to explore the outdoors and was especially fascinated with insects. He loved to collect insects, hunting for them in ponds, fields and forests, constantly looking for new insects and coming up with new ways to catch insects such as beetles. He had such an interest in collecting and studying insects that he earned the nickname "Dr. Bug" among his peers.

In the late 1970s, the fields and ponds that Tajiri loved as a child were paved over by apartment buildings and shopping centers. At this time, Tajiri's passion for insects moved to video games and arcades.

==Game Freak==
Tajiri got into games when he was at technical school, spending all his time in arcades. He was such a big fan that one local arcade gave him a ''{{wp|Space Invaders}}'' machine to take home. Tajiri did not like school. He began skipping classes to spend more time at the arcades. This confused and upset his parents, who felt he was throwing his future away. Eventually, Tajiri graduated from a two-year program at the {{wp|Tokyo National College of Technology}}. His father wanted him to be an electrical utility repairman, but this is not what he wanted.

In 1981, when he was sixteen years of age, Tajiri won a contest sponsored by Nintendo rival {{wp|Sega}} for a game design concept. A year later, in 1982, Tajiri and his friends formed a gaming magazine by the name of [[Game Freak]]. A friend and contributor to Game Freak was [[Ken Sugimori]], who would later become the illustrator and designer of all of the Pokémon images, as well as the human characters and other aspects of the games. Throughout the 1980s, the ''Game Freak'' magazine had modest sales, and became quite popular among the gaming crowd. Originally, the magazine was written by hand, but as it grew more popular Tajiri began having it printed professionally. A typical issue cost 300 yen (around $3.00 USD) and was approximately 28 pages long.

As Tajiri learned more about games, he became more interested in making them. He felt that the games on the market could be better than they were. He learned how to write software by first taking apart a {{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System}} to see how it worked and then learning how to program for it.

In 1987, Tajiri published his first game, ''Quinty'' ({{wp|Mendel Palace}} in North America). Two years later, he officially founded the company [[Game Freak]], named after his magazine. Tajiri and Game Freak continued to develop many titles for companies such as [[Nintendo]] and Sega, such as 1991's {{wp|Jerry Boy}} (which won Tajiri the Character Design Award from the Multimedia Content Association of Japan), and {{smw|Yoshi (game)|Yoshi}}, 1993's {{smw|Mario & Wario}}, and 1994's {{wp|Pulseman}}.

In 1990, Tajiri published a book entitled ''Catch The Packland — Stories of Videogames from Youth''. It contains sixteen stories about Tajiri's memories of playing arcade games when he was in high school and college. It was published by the Japanese Information and Culture Center.

==Pokémon==
[[File:Satoshitajiri.jpg|thumb|right|Tajiri in 1999]]
In the early 1990s, when Tajiri first saw two children playing together with [[Game Boy]]s using the [[link cable]], he imagined insects crawling along the cable between the two systems. As he thought about the capabilities of the link cable, his idea for Pokémon grew, as he wanted to give modern children the chance to hunt for creatures as he did as a child.

He pitched the idea for ''Pokémon'' to Nintendo, and although they didn't fully understand the concept of the game, he was given some initial funding anyway and concept work from another game design studio, [[Creatures, Inc.]]. Tajiri spent the next six years working on Pokémon. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the man behind {{smw|Mario}}, {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}, {{smw|Pikmin}}, and {{dk|Donkey Kong}}, was assigned to help in the development of the initial [[version]]s of Pocket Monsters, {{2v2|Red|Green}}. During this time Tajiri came to admire Miyamoto as a mentor. As a tribute to Miyamoto and Tajiri, the {{ga|Red|main character}} of the games and {{ga|Blue|his rival}} have "Satoshi" and "Shigeru" among their default names, while the main character of the anime, [[Ash Ketchum]], and his first rival, [[Gary Oak]], are named the same, respectively.

After six years of development, [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] were completed. Although the Game Boy's hardware was becoming outdated, the game still grew steadily in popularity because younger children could not afford brand-new console games so they turned to the inexpensive Game Boy games.

The success of Pokémon led to various {{pkmn|manga}} adaptations, an {{pkmn|anime}}, and several Pokémon sequels and spinoff games. Recently, Tajiri and Game Freak created the [[Game Boy Advance]] game {{wp|Drill Dozer}}.

==Trivia==
* Tajiri was diagnosed with {{wp|Asperger syndrome}}, with Nintendo officials describing him as very creative, yet "reclusive" and "eccentric", two common symptoms of AS. Tajiri has confirmed this diagnosis but has not talked about it publicly.
* Tajiri's favorite Pokémon is apparently {{p|Poliwhirl}}, and says that the swirl on his belly is meant to be its intestines, representing the fact that a tadpole's internal organs are able to be seen when it is picked up and inspected.
* In an interview with {{wp|Time Magazine}} in 1999, Tajiri stated that he sleeps for 12 hours, and then works on his games for 24 hours straight. He says that the irregular schedule helps him think of new ideas for games.
* A biography of Tajiri entitled ''[[Satoshi Tajiri: Pokémon Creator]]'' was published in 2008 by {{wp|KidHaven Press}}.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White}}

'''Pokémon Black Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック''' ''Pocket Monsters Black'') and '''Pokémon White Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト''' ''Pocket Monsters White'') are the primary {{DL|Version|Relation to one another|paired versions}} of [[Generation V]].

Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two [[player character]]s (one male and one female) travel a new region, [[Unova]], on their [[Pokémon journey]]s. This region is inhabited by various {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and unlike before, none of those available prior to [[Generation V]] can be obtained before defeating the Elite Four. The first of the new Pokémon to be featured in these games, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, were revealed on February 10, 2010 in [[CoroCoro]] magazine, and the [[starter Pokémon]] were revealed in May.

The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine were leaked on April 10. These scans revealed some of the graphical enhancements that are featured in these games. There is a higher level of 3D graphics than in previous games, as shown in some shots of the overworld. Initial sprites could be seen for Zorua, Zoroark, and the [[player character]]s.

In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene containing fully animated Pokémon battle sprites as well as a dynamic camera that changes focus to highlight specific parts of the battle. Also, when talking to people, {{wp|speech balloon}}s for dialog will appear over people's heads, rather than as simply a dialog box.

Black and White are compatible with all five [[Generation IV]] games through use of the [[Poké Transfer]]—unlike [[Pal Park]], [[item]]s cannot be held by Pokémon being sent over. Pokémon can be sent from Generation III games, as well, by transfer through Generation IV. The games also have the capability of connecting to the {{wp|Internet}}.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game starts in [[Nuvema Town]] in the player's room with [[Cheren]], a childhood friend. [[Professor Juniper]] has left a gift box for the two and [[Bianca]], another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The box contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the player can choose from. After the selection, Bianca will request a battle. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. Cheren heals both the player's and Bianca's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bianca will leave the house while the player's [[mom|mother]] will heal the Pokémon.

The player visits Bianca's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. Bianca storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Juniper's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. In the lab, Professor Juniper will give the player a chance to nickname the selected [[starter Pokémon]], and give each of the three a [[Pokédex]]. Upon leaving the lab, they will be greeted by the player's mother, who will hand everyone a [[Town Map]].

From then on, the player will set off on adventures through the Unova region. Along the way, the player, Cheren, and Bianca will battle eight [[Gym Leader]]s, while trying to complete the [[Pokédex]]. After managing to obtain all eight [[badge]]s, the player will head to the [[Pokémon League]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion. Cheren decides to pursue strength and Bianca realizes that she cannot match the skills of the player or Cheren.

However, the adventure does not go as smoothly as expected, as the [[villainous team|evil]] [[Team Plasma]] will be encountered along the way to the Pokémon League. Team Plasma's goal is to separate Pokémon from people; claiming that humans are only hindrances to the lives and interests of Pokémon. The player will occasionally encounter [[N]], the mysterious leader of the organization. [[Ghetsis]], a co-founding member of the [[Seven Sages]], has a secret, different goal from N's. The player must learn of and thwart their plans in order to save the relationship between Pokémon and their trainers.

However, unlike previous games, the player will not be battling the Champion of the Unova region after first defeating the Elite Four. Once the player enters the Champion's room, N is seen triumphantly boasting over Alder, and proceeds to summon [[N's Castle|his castle]] to ambush and attach to the Pokémon League. The player traverses through the castle to find N and his legendary dragon, who claims to be the hero. However, the Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}} in the player's bag is released and summons the second dragon hero, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, which the player captures and uses to battle and defeat N.

Once defeated, Ghetsis angrily intervenes, revealing his intentions of creating Team Plasma for his own interests of power, and how N and the idea of Pokémon liberation were merely his tools. In a rage, he battles the player in an attempt to eliminate any witnesses of the truth. His actions are futile, however, and N reconsiders his actions and ideas; beginning with releasing his Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}.

After defeating N and Ghetsis, however, the game is not over, as there are further activities to be done. After beating the game, the player will return to their house and see his/her mother next to [[Looker]], who will be disguised temporarily. He explains that he needs help rounding up the Seven Sages of Team Plasma that are hidden across Unova. Also, {{rt|11|Unova}} and [[Marvelous Bridge]] open up, allowing access to [[Black City]] or [[White Forest]], [[Undella Town]], and [[Lacunosa Town]]. The player may also access [[Giant Chasm]], within which {{p|Kyurem}} may be battled and captured. The routes surrounding these areas contain many Pokémon native to the other four regions. Alder himself may also be battled in proper Champion fashion.

Pokémon outbreaks will now occur across Unova's routes as well. Additionally, a series of strong windstorms{{sup|Bl}}/thunderstorms{{sup|W}} will occur across routes, indicating the presence of a {{pkmn2|roaming}} {{p|Tornadus}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Thundurus}}{{sup|W}}, which can be battled and caught. In [[Caitlin]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]], the player will encounter [[Cynthia]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region. She will battle the player, remarking about the striking similarities the player shares with another {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} from Sinnoh.


==Features==
Black and White returns features present in previous generations, such as day, time, abilities and the split between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s. Certain ones, however, such as [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following their Trainers]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], have been left out.

===C-Gear===
{{main|C-Gear}}
The C-Gear allows players to use certain multiplayer functions while anywhere in the game world. These functions vary with the type of communication used: wireless, Wi-Fi and infrared. The C-Gear is similar to the [[Pokétch]] in that it fills the bottom screen, but its applications are much different.

On the [[C-Gear]], as well as in battle, the current time is displayed in {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour}} format, however, at the hours of 12:00 AM and PM, the hour displays as 0, rather than 12, as a {{wp|24-hour clock}}, such as that on the DS and in the [[Generation IV]] games, would display midnight.

===Pokémon Global Link===
{{main|Pokémon Global Link}}
The Pokémon Global Link is a multiplayer feature that makes use of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and is the equivalent of the fourth generation {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station|GTS}}. In addition to providing the features of the GTS, it allows players to upload their save files to the Pokémon Global Link website to access the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Players can also go to the [[Pokémon Center]] to enter Random Matchup where they can battle a random person also connected to Random Matchup. The Global Link is also the place where players can download exclusive content including C-Gear and Pokédex skins and additional [[Pokémon Musical]] songs.

====Pokémon Dream World====
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Black and White which is operated via an Internet website, [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Pokémon-GL.com]. The Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way such that it is a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

Many Pokémon that are found here are not found in the [[Unova]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. All of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive Hidden Abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.

===Entralink===
{{main|Entralink}}
The Entralink is a new feature in Pokémon Black and White which allows contact with other players over local wireless. It is a multiplayer area in central Unova; Pokémon obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] can be caught here. In combination with the [[C-Gear]], it is possible to travel through Unova with other players and battle, trade and perform various multiplayer sidequests.

===Pokémon Musical===
{{main|Pokémon Musical}}
Pokémon Contests, which have been present since [[Generation III]], are replaced by the Pokémon Musicals. Similar to the Super Contests in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Trainers have to dress up their Pokémon with different accessories. The Pokémon will then compete by dancing on the theater stage with the other entrants. They are held in [[Nimbasa City]].

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}
Much like [[Generation II]] introduced a system of time, Generation V features a system of seasons. Seasons change every month, thus completing three cycles per year. With it comes aesthetic changes in the region, as well as some changes with the Pokémon found in the wild. It also reflects real life in effecting the time each part of the day is; for example, in winter, night from is 19:00 to 6:59, but in summer it is from 21:00 to 3:59. Additionally, {{p|Deerling}} and its evolution {{p|Sawsbuck}} change forms every season. Some areas can only be accessed in certain seasons.

===Sprite animations===
While already featured in previous games, Pokémon sprites in Black and White remain animated throughout the battle. Additionally, full back sprites are now present in the games. Some, but not all, Pokémon use animated versions of their [[Generation IV]] sprites. All Trainers, on the other hand, with the exception of [[Bianca]], [[Cheren]] and [[N]], return to sprites with no animations.

===Changing music===
Whereas in previous games, the music was the same during entire battles (other than when the player's Pokémon has less than ¼ health remaining), in Generation V, things such as battle music may change with the situation. For example, when battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music changes to a remix of the main theme. The warning sound heard when a Pokémon has less than ¼ of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining has also been remixed into its own music. "Rare" Pokémon also get their own theme. Although this isn't technically new, the seasons change the music in certain places as well, though these changes are mostly the instruments heard. This is similar to the [[Time|day/night cycle]] in Generation IV.

===Triple battles===
{{main|Triple battle}}
In a triple battle, three Pokémon on each side are sent out at once. There are restrictions as to which Pokémon can attack which opponent. The Pokémon in the middle can attack all three on the other side, but the ones on either side cannot attack the Pokémon on the far side of the opposite end. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, through the use of moves such as {{m|Acrobatics}}. The Pokémon {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}} were introduced to showcase this new feature. The position of each Pokémon can be changed during the battle; however, a turn will be used up.

===Rotation battles===
{{main|Rotation battle}}
Rotation battles are similar to triple battles in that three Pokémon in each team are sent onto each side; however, they are sent out onto a circular platform. The platform can be rotated a third of the way around without wasting a turn. The Pokémon which is in the third of the circle facing the opponent is the one currently active. Strategy revolves around predicting which Pokémon the opponent will switch to and switching to the appropriate Pokémon on the player's side.

===Gyms===
Pokémon Black and White brings back the traditional eight [[Gyms]], but with it a total of eleven [[Gym Leaders]]. They are [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}}, respectively), [[Lenora]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Brycen]] ({{t|Ice}}), and [[Drayden]] and [[Iris]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Cilan, Chili, or Cress are battled if the player has chosen the {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, or {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Drayden is battled in Pokémon Black while Iris is battled in Pokémon White.

===Elite Four===
Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}). However, the player is not able to battle the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating them in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Alder]], who uses a variety of types. Caitlin is the same person present in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}} who was alongside her butler {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}} in [[Generation IV]].

===New Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation V Pokémon]]''
Black and White bring a total of 156 new Pokémon, higher than any other generation, bringing the overall total to 649 from the 493 present in Generation IV. While some new Pokémon may have similarities to previously introduced Pokémon, none of the new Pokémon are related by evolution to any of the 493 introduced previously.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}}, who were both featured in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. Unlike previous generations, no other new Pokémon were featured in the main {{pkmn|anime}} prior to the games' release.

* When {{p|Genesect}} is [[Held item|holding]] a [[Drive]], the light on its Photon Blaster [[Form differences#Genesect|changes color]]. The Burn and Shock Drives are exclusive to Black, while the Douse and Chill Drives are exclusive to White.
* While {{p|Cottonee}} and {{p|Petilil}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, there is an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]] in [[Nacrene City]] for the Pokémon which is exclusive to the other game. By extension, this also allows {{p|Whimsicott}} and {{p|Lilligant}} to be obtained in the versions they are otherwise unobtainable in.
* While {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, Illumise can {{pkmn|Breeding|breed}} with any male Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}, {{egg3|Human-Like}} or {{p|Ditto}} to produce eggs that have an 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat. Likewise, breeding Volbeat with Ditto may produce Illumise eggs.
* Wild {{p|Huntail}} are exclusive to Black, while wild {{p|Gorebyss}} are exclusive to White, but {{p|Clamperl}} can be found and evolved in both games.
* Several version-exclusive Pokémon can also be obtained via the [[Pokémon Dream World]].

==Compatibility==
Black and White are able to connect with all [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] main series games. Pokémon from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver are able to be traded forward to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]]. Like the transfer available in [[Pal Park]], Pokémon sent to Black and White cannot be returned to their original games. Some event Pokémon released in Generation IV have the ability to unlock more events in Generation V: specific {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Celebi}}, transferable via an exclusive method called the [[Relocator]], unlock {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Likewise, the [[Lock Capsule]] transferred from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver yields {{tm|95|Snarl}}, but this event has yet to take place.

Black and White also have the ability to connect to the Internet, accessing the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; Pokémon acquired in this manner are obtained in the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]. Although the game cartridges contain infrared technology similar to that used in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White are unable to connect with the [[Pokéwalker]].

==Reception==
[[File:BWFamitsu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Black and White's perfect score]]
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} has given Pokémon Black and White Versions perfect scores. The reviewers were highly impressed with the fresh approach that the game has taken, from the graphics to the new features to the diversity of the Pokémon. The reviewers were also impressed by the Wi-Fi and PC features.

Only 14 other games have received a perfect score of 40/40, the first of which was ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'', and the most recent being ''{{wp|Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker}}.

{{wp|Game Informer}} gave the games 8.75 out of 10. Videogamer.com gave the games a 9 out of 10. [[Nintendo Power]] gave the games a 9.0 out of 10. {{wp|Edge (magazine)|Edge}} gave the games an 8/10. The [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] gave the game 95%.

==Trivia==
* The developer included antiwar ideas to Pokémon Black and White.
* Pokémon Black and White each have a [[Tao trio|mascot]] of the color of their counterpart version.
* Black and White are the only games where the player is required to interact with other [[non-player character|NPC]]s (in this case, their rivals) before proceeding downstairs to speak with their [[mom|mother]].
* Game Freak spent about one and a half years developing the story and characters.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=202 Game Freak's blog]</ref>
* Several bonus items were available with pre-orders of the games in various countries:
** In Japan, people could receive a {{p|Reshiram}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon Black and a {{p|Zekrom}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon White.
** In the USA, {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} offered Reshiram and Zekrom wall clings to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|Gamestation}} offered three styli for the DS, each one featuring one of the [[Unova]] [[starter Pokémon]] to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|GAME}} offered an exclusive poster to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In Australia, {{wp|JB Hi-Fi}} offered a Nintendo DS case featuring Reshiram and Zekrom to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In Mexico, they offered a white T-shirt with {{p|Zekrom}} on it for pre-ordering Pokémon White and a black T-shirt with {{p|Reshiram}} on it for pre-ordering Pokémon Black. Each T-shirt had their corresponding version logos, the [[Nintendo DS]] logo and the [http://www.gameplanet.com GamePlanet] stores logo. The event {{p|Celebi}} for [[Generation IV]] games was also promoted as a pre-order exclusive, but in practice it could be obtained by anyone with a Generation IV game in the store.
* The credits of the Japanese versions are shown in English if kanji mode is selected.
* The font used in the text of dialogues by the Japanese versions is the same one seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|pre-release media]] of the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pokémon Black and White are the first main series games to require the version mascot to be specifically ''caught''; if the battle ends by any other means (such as causing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} to faint), the story will not proceed, and the player will have to try again.
** However, if the player is unable to catch their mascot because of a full [[party]] and [[PC]] boxes, the story will proceed anyway, and the Pokémon will be waiting for them at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] later.
* In the international versions, Pokémon names are no longer displayed in all capital letters, following the trend set in [[Generation IV]] of no longer displaying the names of characters, items and locations in all capital letters.
** Pokémon transferred forward, however, will keep an all-caps species name unless they are evolved in Generation V.
* When the games were advertised or reported on [[Pokémon Sunday]], the song ''{{wp|Black or White}}'' by {{wp|Michael Jackson}} was played multiple times as a reference to the titles of the games.
* These games are the first [[version|main series]] {{pkmn|games}} to be available in Europe before the United States, being released 2 days earlier. However, these are not the first Pokémon titles, being preceded by the spin-off games [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* The slogan used in the commercials for these games is "Start From a New Beginning".
* These games are the first Pokémon games that support {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} encryption; however, they do not when played on a [[Nintendo DS]] or a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
* Black and White are the first handheld Pokémon games to censor certain words when attempting to nickname a Pokémon. This means that if the player gives a nickname to a Pokémon that is registered on the games' built-in blacklist, he/she will be unable to confirm the nickname as the action will be denied, requiring another, whitelisted name to be input.
* Korean versions of Black and White, unlike all Korean Generation IV games, can communicate with international versions without any issues.
*Due to the DS cartridges being black, Pokémon Black is technically the first Pokémon game since Emerald to have its cartridge match the color of the game.
* The non-legendary version exclusive Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Black and White match the color of their respective versions. However, it is the reverse with Reshiram and Zekrom.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White}}

'''Pokémon Black Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック''' ''Pocket Monsters Black'') and '''Pokémon White Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト''' ''Pocket Monsters White'') are the primary {{DL|Version|Relation to one another|paired versions}} of [[Generation V]].

Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two [[player character]]s (one male and one female) travel a new region, [[Unova]], on their [[Pokémon journey]]s. This region is inhabited by various {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and unlike before, none of those available prior to [[Generation V]] can be obtained before defeating the Elite Four. The first of the new Pokémon to be featured in these games, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, were revealed on February 10, 2010 in [[CoroCoro]] magazine, and the [[starter Pokémon]] were revealed in May.

The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine were leaked on April 10. These scans revealed some of the graphical enhancements that are featured in these games. There is a higher level of 3D graphics than in previous games, as shown in some shots of the overworld. Initial sprites could be seen for Zorua, Zoroark, and the [[player character]]s.

In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene containing fully animated Pokémon battle sprites as well as a dynamic camera that changes focus to highlight specific parts of the battle. Also, when talking to people, {{wp|speech balloon}}s for dialog will appear over people's heads, rather than as simply a dialog box.

Black and White are compatible with all five [[Generation IV]] games through use of the [[Poké Transfer]]—unlike [[Pal Park]], [[item]]s cannot be held by Pokémon being sent over. Pokémon can be sent from Generation III games, as well, by transfer through Generation IV. The games also have the capability of connecting to the {{wp|Internet}}.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The game starts in [[Nuvema Town]] in the player's room with [[Cheren]], a childhood friend. [[Professor Juniper]] has left a gift box for the two and [[Bianca]], another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The box contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the player can choose from. After the selection, Bianca will request a battle. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. Cheren heals both the player's and Bianca's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bianca will leave the house while the player's [[mom|mother]] will heal the Pokémon.

The player visits Bianca's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. Bianca storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Juniper's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. In the lab, Professor Juniper will give the player a chance to nickname the selected [[starter Pokémon]], and give each of the three a [[Pokédex]]. Upon leaving the lab, they will be greeted by the player's mother, who will hand everyone a [[Town Map]].

From then on, the player will set off on adventures through the Unova region. Along the way, the player, Cheren, and Bianca will battle eight [[Gym Leader]]s, while trying to complete the [[Pokédex]]. After managing to obtain all eight [[badge]]s, the player will head to the [[Pokémon League]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion. Cheren decides to pursue strength and Bianca realizes that she cannot match the skills of the player or Cheren.

However, the adventure does not go as smoothly as expected, as the [[villainous team|evil]] [[Team Plasma]] will be encountered along the way to the Pokémon League. Team Plasma's goal is to separate Pokémon from people; claiming that humans are only hindrances to the lives and interests of Pokémon. The player will occasionally encounter [[N]], the mysterious leader of the organization. [[Ghetsis]], a co-founding member of the [[Seven Sages]], has a secret, different goal from N's. The player must learn of and thwart their plans in order to save the relationship between Pokémon and their trainers.

However, unlike previous games, the player will not be battling the Champion of the Unova region after first defeating the Elite Four. Once the player enters the Champion's room, N is seen triumphantly boasting over Alder, and proceeds to summon [[N's Castle|his castle]] to ambush and attach to the Pokémon League. The player traverses through the castle to find N and his legendary dragon, who claims to be the hero. However, the Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}} in the player's bag is released and summons the second dragon hero, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, which the player captures and uses to battle and defeat N.

Once defeated, Ghetsis angrily intervenes, revealing his intentions of creating Team Plasma for his own interests of power, and how N and the idea of Pokémon liberation were merely his tools. In a rage, he battles the player in an attempt to eliminate any witnesses of the truth. His actions are futile, however, and N reconsiders his actions and ideas; beginning with releasing his Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}.

After defeating N and Ghetsis, however, the game is not over, as there are further activities to be done. After beating the game, the player will return to their house and see his/her mother next to [[Looker]], who will be disguised temporarily. He explains that he needs help rounding up the Seven Sages of Team Plasma that are hidden across Unova. Also, {{rt|11|Unova}} and [[Marvelous Bridge]] open up, allowing access to [[Black City]] or [[White Forest]], [[Undella Town]], and [[Lacunosa Town]]. The player may also access [[Giant Chasm]], within which {{p|Kyurem}} may be battled and captured. The routes surrounding these areas contain many Pokémon native to the other four regions. Alder himself may also be battled in proper Champion fashion.

Pokémon outbreaks will now occur across Unova's routes as well. Additionally, a series of strong windstorms{{sup|Bl}}/thunderstorms{{sup|W}} will occur across routes, indicating the presence of a {{pkmn2|roaming}} {{p|Tornadus}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Thundurus}}{{sup|W}}, which can be battled and caught. In [[Caitlin]]'s villa in [[Undella Town]], the player will encounter [[Cynthia]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region. She will battle the player, remarking about the striking similarities the player shares with another {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} from Sinnoh.


==Features==
Black and White returns features present in previous generations, such as day, time, abilities and the split between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s. Certain ones, however, such as [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following their Trainers]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], have been left out.

===C-Gear===
{{main|C-Gear}}
The C-Gear allows players to use certain multiplayer functions while anywhere in the game world. These functions vary with the type of communication used: wireless, Wi-Fi and infrared. The C-Gear is similar to the [[Pokétch]] in that it fills the bottom screen, but its applications are much different.

On the [[C-Gear]], as well as in battle, the current time is displayed in {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour}} format, however, at the hours of 12:00 AM and PM, the hour displays as 0, rather than 12, as a {{wp|24-hour clock}}, such as that on the DS and in the [[Generation IV]] games, would display midnight.

===Pokémon Global Link===
{{main|Pokémon Global Link}}
The Pokémon Global Link is a multiplayer feature that makes use of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and is the equivalent of the fourth generation {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station|GTS}}. In addition to providing the features of the GTS, it allows players to upload their save files to the Pokémon Global Link website to access the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Players can also go to the [[Pokémon Center]] to enter Random Matchup where they can battle a random person also connected to Random Matchup. The Global Link is also the place where players can download exclusive content including C-Gear and Pokédex skins and additional [[Pokémon Musical]] songs.

====Pokémon Dream World====
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Black and White which is operated via an Internet website, [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Pokémon-GL.com]. The Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way such that it is a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

Many Pokémon that are found here are not found in the [[Unova]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. All of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive Hidden Abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.

===Entralink===
{{main|Entralink}}
The Entralink is a new feature in Pokémon Black and White which allows contact with other players over local wireless. It is a multiplayer area in central Unova; Pokémon obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] can be caught here. In combination with the [[C-Gear]], it is possible to travel through Unova with other players and battle, trade and perform various multiplayer sidequests.

===Pokémon Musical===
{{main|Pokémon Musical}}
Pokémon Contests, which have been present since [[Generation III]], are replaced by the Pokémon Musicals. Similar to the Super Contests in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Trainers have to dress up their Pokémon with different accessories. The Pokémon will then compete by dancing on the theater stage with the other entrants. They are held in [[Nimbasa City]].

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}
Much like [[Generation II]] introduced a system of time, Generation V features a system of seasons. Seasons change every month, which cycles three times per year. With it comes aesthetic changes in the region, as well as some changes with the Pokémon found in the wild. It also reflects real life in effecting the time each part of the day is; for example, in winter, night from is 19:00 to 6:59, but in summer it is from 21:00 to 3:59. Additionally, {{p|Deerling}} and its evolution {{p|Sawsbuck}} change forms every season. Some areas can only be accessed in certain seasons.

===Sprite animations===
While already featured in previous games, Pokémon sprites in Black and White remain animated throughout the battle. Additionally, full back sprites are now present in the games. Some, but not all, Pokémon use animated versions of their [[Generation IV]] sprites. All Trainers, on the other hand, with the exception of [[Bianca]], [[Cheren]] and [[N]], return to sprites with no animations.

===Changing music===
Whereas in previous games, the music was the same during entire battles (other than when the player's Pokémon has less than ¼ health remaining), in Generation V, things such as battle music may change with the situation. For example, when battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music changes to a remix of the main theme. The warning sound heard when a Pokémon has less than ¼ of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining has also been remixed into its own music. "Rare" Pokémon also get their own theme. Although this isn't technically new, the seasons change the music in certain places as well, though these changes are mostly the instruments heard. This is similar to the [[Time|day/night cycle]] in Generation IV.

===Triple battles===
{{main|Triple battle}}
In a triple battle, three Pokémon on each side are sent out at once. There are restrictions as to which Pokémon can attack which opponent. The Pokémon in the middle can attack all three on the other side, but the ones on either side cannot attack the Pokémon on the far side of the opposite end. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, through the use of moves such as {{m|Acrobatics}}. The Pokémon {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}} were introduced to showcase this new feature. The position of each Pokémon can be changed during the battle; however, a turn will be used up.

===Rotation battles===
{{main|Rotation battle}}
Rotation battles are similar to triple battles in that three Pokémon in each team are sent onto each side; however, they are sent out onto a circular platform. The platform can be rotated a third of the way around without wasting a turn. The Pokémon which is in the third of the circle facing the opponent is the one currently active. Strategy revolves around predicting which Pokémon the opponent will switch to and switching to the appropriate Pokémon on the player's side.

===Gyms===
Pokémon Black and White brings back the traditional eight [[Gyms]], but with it a total of eleven [[Gym Leaders]]. They are [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], and [[Cress]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}}, respectively), [[Lenora]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Brycen]] ({{t|Ice}}), and [[Drayden]] and [[Iris]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Cilan, Chili, or Cress are battled if the player has chosen the {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}}, or {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Drayden is battled in Pokémon Black while Iris is battled in Pokémon White.

===Elite Four===
Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}). However, the player is not able to battle the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating them in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Alder]], who uses a variety of types. Caitlin is the same person present in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}} who was alongside her butler {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}} in [[Generation IV]].

===New Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation V Pokémon]]''
Black and White bring a total of 156 new Pokémon, higher than any other generation, bringing the overall total to 649 from the 493 present in Generation IV. While some new Pokémon may have similarities to previously introduced Pokémon, none of the new Pokémon are related by evolution to any of the 493 introduced previously.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}}, who were both featured in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. Unlike previous generations, no other new Pokémon were featured in the main {{pkmn|anime}} prior to the games' release.

* When {{p|Genesect}} is [[Held item|holding]] a [[Drive]], the light on its Photon Blaster [[Form differences#Genesect|changes color]]. The Burn and Shock Drives are exclusive to Black, while the Douse and Chill Drives are exclusive to White.
* While {{p|Cottonee}} and {{p|Petilil}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, there is an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]] in [[Nacrene City]] for the Pokémon which is exclusive to the other game. By extension, this also allows {{p|Whimsicott}} and {{p|Lilligant}} to be obtained in the versions they are otherwise unobtainable in.
* While {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, Illumise can {{pkmn|Breeding|breed}} with any male Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}, {{egg3|Human-Like}} or {{p|Ditto}} to produce eggs that have an 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat. Likewise, breeding Volbeat with Ditto may produce Illumise eggs.
* Wild {{p|Huntail}} are exclusive to Black, while wild {{p|Gorebyss}} are exclusive to White, but {{p|Clamperl}} can be found and evolved in both games.
* Several version-exclusive Pokémon can also be obtained via the [[Pokémon Dream World]].

==Compatibility==
Black and White are able to connect with all [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] main series games. Pokémon from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver are able to be traded forward to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]]. Like the transfer available in [[Pal Park]], Pokémon sent to Black and White cannot be returned to their original games. Some event Pokémon released in Generation IV have the ability to unlock more events in Generation V: specific {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Celebi}}, transferable via an exclusive method called the [[Relocator]], unlock {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Likewise, the [[Lock Capsule]] transferred from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver yields {{tm|95|Snarl}}, but this event has yet to take place.

Black and White also have the ability to connect to the Internet, accessing the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; Pokémon acquired in this manner are obtained in the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]]. Although the game cartridges contain infrared technology similar to that used in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White are unable to connect with the [[Pokéwalker]].

==Reception==
[[File:BWFamitsu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Black and White's perfect score]]
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} has given Pokémon Black and White Versions perfect scores. The reviewers were highly impressed with the fresh approach that the game has taken, from the graphics to the new features to the diversity of the Pokémon. The reviewers were also impressed by the Wi-Fi and PC features.

Only 14 other games have received a perfect score of 40/40, the first of which was ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'', and the most recent being ''{{wp|Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker}}.

{{wp|Game Informer}} gave the games 8.75 out of 10. Videogamer.com gave the games a 9 out of 10. [[Nintendo Power]] gave the games a 9.0 out of 10. {{wp|Edge (magazine)|Edge}} gave the games an 8/10. The [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] gave the game 95%.

==Trivia==
* The developer included antiwar ideas to Pokémon Black and White.
* Pokémon Black and White each have a [[Tao trio|mascot]] of the color of their counterpart version.
* Black and White are the only games where the player is required to interact with other [[non-player character|NPC]]s (in this case, their rivals) before proceeding downstairs to speak with their [[mom|mother]].
* Game Freak spent about one and a half years developing the story and characters.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=202 Game Freak's blog]</ref>
* Several bonus items were available with pre-orders of the games in various countries:
** In Japan, people could receive a {{p|Reshiram}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon Black and a {{p|Zekrom}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon White.
** In the USA, {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} offered Reshiram and Zekrom wall clings to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|Gamestation}} offered three styli for the DS, each one featuring one of the [[Unova]] [[starter Pokémon]] to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|GAME}} offered an exclusive poster to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In Australia, {{wp|JB Hi-Fi}} offered a Nintendo DS case featuring Reshiram and Zekrom to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In Mexico, they offered a white T-shirt with {{p|Zekrom}} on it for pre-ordering Pokémon White and a black T-shirt with {{p|Reshiram}} on it for pre-ordering Pokémon Black. Each T-shirt had their corresponding version logos, the [[Nintendo DS]] logo and the [http://www.gameplanet.com GamePlanet] stores logo. The event {{p|Celebi}} for [[Generation IV]] games was also promoted as a pre-order exclusive, but in practice it could be obtained by anyone with a Generation IV game in the store.
* The credits of the Japanese versions are shown in English if kanji mode is selected.
* The font used in the text of dialogues by the Japanese versions is the same one seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|pre-release media]] of the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pokémon Black and White are the first main series games to require the version mascot to be specifically ''caught''; if the battle ends by any other means (such as causing {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} to faint), the story will not proceed, and the player will have to try again.
** However, if the player is unable to catch their mascot because of a full [[party]] and [[PC]] boxes, the story will proceed anyway, and the Pokémon will be waiting for them at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] later.
* In the international versions, Pokémon names are no longer displayed in all capital letters, following the trend set in [[Generation IV]] of no longer displaying the names of characters, items and locations in all capital letters.
** Pokémon transferred forward, however, will keep an all-caps species name unless they are evolved in Generation V.
* When the games were advertised or reported on [[Pokémon Sunday]], the song ''{{wp|Black or White}}'' by {{wp|Michael Jackson}} was played multiple times as a reference to the titles of the games.
* These games are the first [[version|main series]] {{pkmn|games}} to be available in Europe before the United States, being released 2 days earlier. However, these are not the first Pokémon titles, being preceded by the spin-off games [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* The slogan used in the commercials for these games is "Start From a New Beginning".
* These games are the first Pokémon games that support {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} encryption; however, they do not when played on a [[Nintendo DS]] or a [[Nintendo DS Lite]].
* Black and White are the first handheld Pokémon games to censor certain words when attempting to nickname a Pokémon. This means that if the player gives a nickname to a Pokémon that is registered on the games' built-in blacklist, he/she will be unable to confirm the nickname as the action will be denied, requiring another, whitelisted name to be input.
* Korean versions of Black and White, unlike all Korean Generation IV games, can communicate with international versions without any issues.
*Due to the DS cartridges being black, Pokémon Black is technically the first Pokémon game since Emerald to have its cartridge match the color of the game.
* The non-legendary version exclusive Pokémon introduced in Pokémon Black and White match the color of their respective versions. However, it is the reverse with Reshiram and Zekrom.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Gold and Silver}}

'''Pokémon Gold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|金|きん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Gold'') and '''Pokémon Silver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター {{tt|銀|ぎん}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Silver'') were the fifth and sixth [[Pokémon games]] to be released in Japan. They were released on November 21, 1999. Like {{2v2|Red|Green}} before them, they are paired versions, with few differences aside from available Pokémon.

As Pokémon had become an international phenomenon already with the release of {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} in North America and other regions, the translated versions of these games were greatly expected, and arrived Stateside on October 15, 2000. Again, much like Red and Green/Blue, Gold and Silver were followed shortly by a third version with minor changes, {{game|Crystal}}, as well as remakes two generations later in the form of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Gold and Silver brought with them many changes to the Pokémon world, as the first set of sequels to the [[Generation I]] games. Unlike Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow; Gold and Silver take place in the [[Johto]] region, west of the region that the original games take place in, [[Kanto]]. However, Kanto can be traveled to later in the game. The player begins his journey in [[New Bark Town]], which is fittingly known as "The Town Where Winds of a New Beginning Blow."

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main game===
{{ga|Ethan|The player}} begins his journey from [[New Bark Town]], running an errand for [[Professor Elm]] to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house to discover what he was so excited about. Elm supplies the player with one of three Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}, for this errand. After Mr. Pokémon's discovery turns out to be an {{pkmn|egg}}, the player returns to New Bark, only to find that a suspicious {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} seen lurking outside of Elm's lab earlier has stolen one of Elm's Pokémon— the one that the player's choice is weak to, coincidentally. Upon defeating him and returning to New Bark, the player gives the name of the boy (the player can choose any name, provided it fits under the seven-character limit; his name defaults to Silver) to a police officer who has come to investigate the incident. Elm is amazed by the egg and insists on studying it, allowing the player to keep the Pokémon they traveled with as a [[starter Pokémon]]. From here, he encourages the player to journey across [[Johto]] and challenge the eight [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Falkner]], [[Bugsy]], [[Whitney]], [[Morty]], [[Chuck]], [[Jasmine]], [[Pryce]], and [[Clair]], and eventually the [[Pokémon League]] (though this is a long way off). With the first Gym in nearby [[Violet City]], the player heads off on their adventure.

After defeating Falkner for the {{badge|Zephyr}}, Elm's assistant appears to give the player the egg, which will later hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}. Heading south towards [[Azalea Town]] by way of {{rt|32|Johto}} and [[Union Cave]], the player meets up with the villainous [[Team Rocket]], formed again after it was disbanded [[Generation I|three years prior]] in the neighboring [[Kanto]] region by {{ga|Red|a young Trainer}}. They are cutting off the tails of the {{p|Slowpoke}} that are legendary in Azalea, intending to sell them for a large profit. [[Kurt]], a local maker of specialty [[Poké Ball]]s, is greatly angered by this, and requests the player's help in chasing away Team Rocket and saving the Slowpoke. Though he falls into [[Slowpoke Well]], hurting himself in the process, he begs the player to continue on to fight the organization with their Pokémon. After this has been done, and Team Rocket is chased away from Azalea, Kurt gives the player a [[Lure Ball]] and will make his specialty Poké Balls when brought any kind of [[Apricorn]], one per day. After defeating [[Bugsy]] in the [[Azalea Gym]] for the {{badge|Hive}} and defeating the red-haired boy (Silver) once again, the player can journey into [[Ilex Forest]] to find the [[Charcoal]] maker's {{p|Farfetch'd}} and get {{HM|01|Cut}}. With this, Ilex Forest can be navigated through towards {{rt|34|Johto}}. On Route 34, a [[Pokémon Day Care]] is set up, however, unlike the one found in [[Kanto]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}, it is capable of raising two Pokémon at once. If these Pokémon are [[egg group|similar enough]], and if a male and female have been put in together, a [[Pokémon egg]] can be produced.

Venturing into [[Goldenrod City]], the player's third badge, the {{badge|Plain}}, awaits. After defeating [[Whitney]] and getting the badge, getting a [[Squirtbottle]] allows the player to move the {{p|Sudowoodo|strange tree}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}} to the north. If it is [[Days of the week|Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday]], the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] will be on at the [[National Park]] on {{rt|35|Johto}}, as well. In [[Ecruteak City]], [[Bill]], the developer of the [[PC]] [[Pokémon storage system]] is performing repairs on the [[Time Capsule]], and as the player arrives, he will finish, asking for them to come visit him in his parents' house in Goldenrod, where he will give away an {{p|Eevee}}. Another Gym is in Ecruteak, where the {{type2|Ghost}} Leader [[Morty]] battles for the {{badge|Fog}}.

The player goes on through {{rt|38|Johto}} and {{rt|39|Johto}} to arrive in [[Olivine City]]. Once there, they learn from Silver that [[Jasmine]], the Gym Leader, is not available at the moment, since she is taking care of the [[Glitter Lighthouse|lighthouse's]] [[Amphy|Ampharos]] and refuses to leave until the Pokémon is given a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] from [[Cianwood City]]. The player thus surfs their way through {{rt|40|Johto}} and {{rt|41|Johto}} to get to Cianwood. There, they encounter the {{type2|Fighting}} type Leader [[Chuck]], who presents the player with the {{badge|Storm}}. They get the SecretPotion from the Cianwood Pharmacy and goes back to Olivine. Jasmine, relieved after getting her Ampharos's medicine, goes back to taking gym challenges. Her Pokémon specialty is of the {{type2|Steel}}. When the player gets their sixth badge, the {{badge|Mineral}}, they travel to [[Mahogany Town]], through {{rt|42|Johto}}. The gym is blocked by a man and the way to {{rt|44|Johto}} and the [[Ice Cave]] is blocked by a man trying to sell [[Rage Candy Bar]]s.

The player heads north to {{rt|43|Johto}} and the [[Lake of Rage]]. Upon entering the gate, two Rocket Grunts charge them {{pdollar}}1000 to go through. When the player gets to the lake, they encounter the [[Red Gyarados]]. After the player defeats, catches or flees from it, they get the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. A caped man named [[Lance]] appears on the shore and reveals Team Rocket's secret hideout to the player. The player goes back to Mahogany and goes through the hideout, along with Lance. Team Rocket's plan was to emit sound waves, inducing the Magikarp in the lake to evolve into Gyarados, which caused the effect of the Red Gyarados. Once the player defeats all the Rockets and disables the wave-emitting machine, they can challenge [[Pryce]], the town's {{type2|Ice}} Gym Leader.

Upon defeating the Gym Leader and obtaining the {{badge|Glacier}}, the player receives a phone call from Prof. Elm about a strange radio signal emitted by Team Rocket, trying to connect with their missing leader, [[Giovanni]]. The player goes to the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] to investigate. Once there, they find the Tower to be taken over by Team Rocket. When the player ascends to the top floor, they find the director of the Radio Tower, only to discover that he has been impersonated by a Rocket and that the real Director is actually locked in Goldenrod's basement. Once the player enters the basement, they are once again encountered by Silver, who intends to defeat Team Rocket all by himself. He still questions the way he treats his Pokémon. Once the player gets to the very bottom of the basement, they find the Tower's real Director. He gives the player the Card Key, so that they can access the higher floors of the Radio Tower.

After clearing all of the Rockets, effectively disbanding them, the player receives either a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Rainbow Wing}} to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} or a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Silver Wing}} to encounter {{p|Lugia}}, in the Gold and Silver versions respectively. The player can either go to the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] or the [[Whirl Islands]] at this point, to challenge Ho-Oh or Lugia, respectively; or they can go straight to {{rt|44|Johto}}, now unblocked, and the [[Ice Cave]] to get to [[Blackthorn City]]. There the player can challenge [[Clair]], the {{type2|Dragon}} Gym Leader. Before giving the player the {{badge|Rising}}, however, Clair makes the player go through a test to prove their worthiness. To complete this test, the player must enter the [[Dragon's Den]] and retrieve a [[Type-enhancing_item#Dragon_Fang |Dragon Fang]]. When the player finds the item, they receive the Rising Badge from Clair. Having obtained all 8 badges, the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], traveling down {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|46|Johto}}.

Professor Elm contacts the player, and awards them with a Master Ball when visited. From New Bark, the path to the Pokémon League is to the east, across {{rt|27|Kanto}} and into [[Kanto]], then across {{rt|26|Kanto}} and through {{ka|Victory Road}} to the [[Indigo Plateau]]. When the player reaches the exit of Victory Road, Silver appears again and battles the player.

The [[Elite Four]] awaits the player if they have collected all eight Badges. When the player enters the League, they must face all four in sequence. [[Will]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, is first, followed by [[Koga]], whose specialty is {{t|Poison}}. [[Bruno]], who uses {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, follows, and finally, [[Karen]], who specializes in the {{type2|Dark}} type. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]], [[Lance]], challenges the player to a final battle. After his defeat, Oak and his co-host on [[Professor_Oak's_Pokémon_Talk|Pokémon Talk]], [[DJ Mary]], arrive and congratulate the player. Lance then takes the player to a back room and tells the player that they are admitted into the [[Hall of Fame]]. The credits roll.

===Postgame===

After the credits roll, the player ends up back in [[New Bark Town]] in their room; however, Professor Elm calls, requesting a favor. After visiting his lab, he gives the player a [[List of key items in Generation II#S.S. Ticket|S.S. Ticket]] that allows access to the [[S.S. Aqua]], a ship that travels to and from [[Kanto]], the region that Elm wishes for them to explore. On the first entry into the S.S. Aqua, a man will bump into the player, and will ask them for help as he has lost his granddaughter on the ship. After locating her in the captain's cabin and reuniting her with his grandfather, the ship will arrive in [[Vermilion City]], where the player will take their true first steps in Kanto.

At this point, the player is given free reign to travel throughout the (scaled-down) Kanto region, and collect the eight badges from [[Generation I]]'s [[Indigo League#Gym Leaders of the Indigo League|Gym Leaders]]. The player can accomplish this in any order; however, certain events must be completed before some Leaders can be challenged. For example, a Team Rocket grunt has stolen a Machine Part from the [[Power Plant]] and hidden it inside [[Cerulean City]]'s [[Cerulean Gym|Gym]]; the grunt must be fought and the Machine Part restored to the Power Plant before [[Misty]] can be found at [[Cerulean Cape]] and persuaded to return to the gym. [[Giovanni]], the previous Leader of [[Viridian City]], has now left, and former Indigo {{pkmn|Champion}} {{ga|Blue}} is now its Leader; however, Blue is at the site of [[Cinnabar Island]], musing over its destruction by the local volcano's eruption. When found there, Blue will return to [[Viridian Gym]] to be battled. Blaine was the Leader of [[Cinnabar Gym]]; when the town was destroyed, he took refuge in the [[Seafoam Islands]] and can be fought there.

When the player has earned all eight Kanto badges (and, therefore, all sixteen badges in the Indigo League), Oak allows them to venture to {{rt|28|Kanto}} and, past it, [[Mt. Silver|Silver Cave]], a location where only the greatest of Trainers can venture. Silver Cave is a grand set of open tunnels and passages which are riddled with powerful Pokémon, but the player continues to travel through to the end of the cave, where {{ga|Red}}, now a [[Pokémon Master]] stands alone to be fought. When Red is defeated, the credits roll again and, afterward, the player is deposited at Route 28's [[Pokémon Center]], outside of Silver Cave.

==Blurb==
"Enter a whole new world, with new Pokémon to capture, train and battle! Meet Professor Elm and get the all-new [[Pokégear|Poké Gear]], including {{DL|Pokégear|map}}, {{DL|Pokégear|radio}}, [[Pokégear#Phone|cell phone]] and [[Pokégear#Time|clock]]. Set the clock then watch as day turns to night and events take place in real time— and be sure to keep an eye out for Pokémon that come out only at night!"

==Connectivity==
Pokémon Gold and Silver continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Boy]] [[Link cable]], but also revamped it as well. Gold and Silver (as well as Crystal) introduced backwards-connectivity to the trading processes, allowing players to trade with other Generation II games, as well as Red, Blue and Yellow (and Green, in Japan). This has to be done in order to complete the Pokédex without cheating or using [[glitch]]es, since each of games has version exclusive Pokémon which cannot be obtained in another version.

The games are not compatible with games released as part of later [[generation]]s.

The games could also connect to a [[Game Boy Printer]] provided you have a [[Link Cable]]. Upon connectivity, one could print out pictures of Pokémon from the Pokédex or Pokémon summaries from ones party. In [[Pokémon Crystal]] , a feature was added where one could print out a translation of {{p|Unown}}, which helped them translate ruins easier.

==Features==
===Gyms===
There are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}). These Gyms notably feature the types not accounted for by Kanto Gyms, with the exception of the {{type2|Dark}}. Since Kanto is accessible after defeating the Elite Four, players can visit the eight Pokémon Gyms in the region, even though there have been some changes. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Janine]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and {{ga|Blue}} (various).

===Elite Four===
Gold and Silver introduce a new Elite Four syndicate, though it is found at the same location as it previously was in the Red and Blue versions: the [[Indigo Plateau]]. The Elite Trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Lance]], who uses {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who were part of the Elite Four in Generation I, do not appear in Generation II, nor are they mentioned.

===Pokémon===
Each game features 100 new Pokémon species, and pre-recorded data each of them, plus the 151 Pokémon of Generation I. Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired through the use of attending either a Nintendo sponsored event, or cheating.

*{{fnb|1}}Exclusive to Silver in the Japanese versions.
*{{fnb|2}}Exclusive to Gold in the Japanese versions.

===Pokégear===
The Pokégear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The Pokégear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the [[Pokémon Music]] station, or listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in these games. A [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Lure Ball]] is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], a Heavy Ball is used to catch large, heavy Pokémon like {{p|Snorlax}}, and a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Friend Ball]] will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its Trainer much more quickly. To obtain these balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different balls based on their color. However, Kurt can only make one ball at a time, and players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the ball.
===Cloning glitch===
Gold and Silver also introduced the first readily-accessible [[Pokémon cloning|cloning glitch]] in the Pokémon franchise. Unlike the hard-to-use glitch in [[Generation I]], this glitch would not harm the game's save file. It allowed the player to make a perfect copy of one Pokémon and any [[held item]] it was carrying. Numerous tricks could be utilized with this glitch, such as having multiple one-time-only items, like [[Master Ball]]s. This glitch would be repeated in later generations.

===Kanto===
After defeating [[Lance]], and becoming the [[Pokémon Champion]], players can travel to [[Kanto]], the region introduced in Generation I, and see how things have changed over the past three years:

* Due to a power outage, a key is no longer required to open the door to [[Lt. Surge]], and the garbage cans in his Gym are all empty (save for trash).
* A volcano has destroyed everything but the [[Pokémon Center]] on [[Cinnabar Island]], leaving a rain-filled crater behind.
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are no longer found in Kanto, logically because they have already been caught in Generation I. The [[Cerulean Cave]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} are also gone, though a man near the cave ruins does mention the dungeon, and a hidden item called the [[Berserk Gene]] can be found in the water near its former entrance.
* [[Bill]]'s house is still present at the Cerulean Cape, but Bill is currently visiting his family in Johto's [[Goldenrod City]]. The house is being watched over by his grandfather.
* [[Blaine]] has moved his Gym to one of the [[Seafoam Islands]] due to [[Cinnabar Island|Cinnabar]]'s volcanic eruption. As a result, no wild Pokémon can be found in the Seafoam Islands.
* {{ga|Blue}} (Green in the Japanese versions), the rival of Generation I, is now the leader of the [[Viridian City]] Gym. [[Giovanni]] is nowhere to be seen, though he is clearly mentioned many times, as Team Rocket aims to find him.
* {{ga|Red}}, the Generation I protagonist, appears in Johto's [[Mt. Silver]], serving as the game's true final challenge. His highest level Pokémon is a level 81 Pikachu. Red also has a {{p|Snorlax}} at level 75, a {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, each at level 77, and a level 73 {{p|Espeon}}. The first five Pokémon are specially obtainable in Pokémon Yellow.
* The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} still lives in [[Saffron City]], but has moved to another area of town. Her old house was demolished to make way for the [[Magnet Train]] station. As compensation, she received a free rail pass from a man at the station, which she gives away to the player after the return of her {{DL|Pokémon doll|Clefairy Doll|lost doll}}. According to her mother, this is the same doll that Red exchanged for {{TM|31|Mimic}} in [[Generation I]].
* Kanto Gym Leaders use Generation II Pokémon in addition to Generation I Pokémon.
* Remixes of most of the overworld and battle music from the Generation I games are used. Some notable exceptions include Cinnabar Island's music and the music from various Team Rocket hideouts.
* Most [[route]]s were shortened, but cities and towns generally remained the same size except [[Celadon City]], which shrank slightly.
* Pokémon seen in the wild are different: many Generation II Pokémon can be found. Some Pokémon that were previously restricted to the {{Safari|Kanto}} can be caught in wild areas, such as {{p|Rhyhorn}} in {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{p|Kangaskhan}} in [[Rock Tunnel]].
* The entrance to [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Rocket Hideout|headquarters]] in the basement of the Celadon City [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] has been removed, although a man in Celadon's Pokémon Center alludes to it.
* The formerly-abandoned [[Power Plant]] is now used to power the new Magnet Train (which may have led to the departure of the Pokémon that once infested the plant in Generation I).
* The {{DL|Cerulean City|bike shop}} in [[Cerulean City]] is closed, and the owners have moved to Goldenrod City in Johto.
* The "coffee man" in Viridian City has now had his coffee, and says, "Hey, kid! I just had a double shot of espresso and I am wired!" He references the fact that in Generation I he taught the player how to catch Pokémon, and asks if the player believes him, but does not attempt to teach this time around.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]]'s master is away training, so the Fighting Dojo only provides a [[Focus Band]] left behind. The [[Kiyo|master]] is training in [[Mt. Mortar]] in Johto. When found and defeated, he will give away a {{p|Tyrogue}}.
* The [[Pewter Museum of Science|museum]] in [[Pewter City]] is closed for renovations.
* The other caverns and [[Viridian Forest]] all have the same layout as they did before (with the exceptions of [[Mt. Moon]] and the Seafoam Islands), but reduced in size.
* [[Koga]], the former Gym Leader of [[Fuchsia City]] and now a member of the [[Elite Four]], has been replaced by his daughter [[Janine]].
* The [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] has been replaced by a [[Lavender Radio Tower|Radio Tower]], similar to the one in [[Goldenrod City]]. In turn, the Pokémon grave sites were moved into the newly added Soul House. Access to the upper floors of this Radio Tower is restricted, a safety precaution taken as a result of Team Rocket's takeover of [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto's Radio Tower]].
* The [[Beta Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] is closed while the [[Baoba|warden]] is on a vacation. Instead, the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] at the [[National Park]] takes its place. Through external game manipulation, an unused portal to the Safari Zone in [[Fuchsia City]] can be found. Players can use a [[cheating]] device to enter the unfinished Safari Zone.<ref>[http://glitchcity.info/docs/gscsafarizone Glitch City Laboratories - Pokemon GSC Safari Zone] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>
* The {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} from Celadon City to Lavender Town has been sealed indefinitely, ostensibly due to vandalism. A sign cites local complaints about battles there and a local Biker Gang complains about it closing down because it was their base.
* Victory Road's length has been drastically shortened, and no longer includes the barriers, boulders, Trainers, and pressure sensors. Trainers can be found outside, but no longer in Victory Road itself.
* Viridian Forest has been reduced to shrubs, and wild Pokémon can only be caught in the grass of what used to be {{Rt|2|Kanto}}.
* Route 23 has been reduced to a short path leading between {{ka|Victory Road}}'s exit and the [[Indigo Plateau]].
*The Pokémon Center on Route 4, outside Mt. Moon, is no longer there, leaving the player to trek all the way to Pewter City to heal their Pokémon.

==New features==
Gold and Silver introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed. Gold and Silver introduced the concept of storing items such as healing items, [[Poké Ball]]s, and [[key item]]s in separate compartments in the [[bag]]. The updated battle screen showed both how much [[experience]] points a Pokémon had until its next level and whether an encountered wild Pokémon's species has already been captured. Also, held items raised the bar for strategy, allowing players to outspeed opponents, heal ailments, restore {{stat|HP}} in {{pkmn|battle}}, boost the power of moves of a specific type, or increase the Pokémon's [[happiness]], among other uses. All {{pkmn|Trainer}}s battled by the player had their own unique name, and some would be available for rematches later in the game.

A [[Time|time system]] was also introduced. Throughout the game, Pokémon appearances are influenced by time of day: morning, day, and night. {{p|Hoothoot}}, for example, only appears at night (since it's an owl-like Pokémon). Certain events are also determined by the day of the week, like the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] which is held in Johto's [[National Park]] on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Depending on the day of the week, either "[[Pokémon March]]" or "[[Pokémon Lullaby]]" can be heard on the PokéGear radio. Pokémon March raises the chance of a Pokémon appearing when the player walks into the grass, while Pokémon Lullaby decreases that chance.

===Breeding===
With the introduction of {{pkmn|breeding}}, all Pokémon belong to one or two [[egg group]]s. It is important to note that [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred; they are genderless, and will not breed, even with a {{p|Ditto}} (which can breed with any Pokémon capable of breeding).

A baby Pokémon will be born when a male Pokémon and a female Pokémon that share at least one egg group are left at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. In the case of Pokémon that are always male ({{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Tauros}}, etc.), or Pokémon who can breed but whose gender is unknown ({{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Voltorb}}), the only way to produce a baby from these species is by breeding them with a Ditto.

A baby Pokémon will inherit the species of its mother (or non-Ditto parent in the case of a Ditto breeding) and inheritable moves from its father (when it's not a Ditto). Fathers always pass down [[TM]] moves that the baby's species could learn, which are valuable (since some are only obtainable one time). If both parents know a move that the baby's species learns by leveling up, the baby is born knowing that move as well. Fathers may also pass down special moves called "egg moves" to the baby that it would not normally be able to learn by leveling up or evolving.

===Shiny Pokémon===
The game introduces [[Shiny Pokémon]], Pokémon which have a different coloring than their species has normally, and which appear very rarely (a 1 in 8,192 chance). In these games, shiny Pokémon often have better stats than regular Pokémon, but can never achieve maximum stats for that species (as shininess is based on the Pokémon's [[Individual values|IV]]s in this generation). There is one exception to the shiny Pokémon system: a [[Red Gyarados]] can be found at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Since it is part of the storyline, it is impossible not to encounter this Pokémon as shiny.

===Pokérus===
[[Pokérus]] (a portmanteau of "Pokémon" and "virus") was introduced. Encountering a Pokémon with the virus is even rarer than encountering a shiny Pokémon, with the odds estimated to be somewhere around a 1 in 21,845 chance. Pokérus doubles the special experience (a concept adapted to later installments as [[effort values]]) that the player's Pokémon gain each time the infected Pokémon participates in battle (provided the battle is won and the infected Pokémon does not faint).

===Type and stat changes===
Two new [[elemental types|types]] were introduced, {{t|Steel}} and {{t|Dark}}. These two types serve to balance the {{t|Psychic}} type, which previously was only weak to {{type|Bug}} moves. In addition, the Steel and Dark types also balanced the {{t|Fighting}} type, which was only [[super effective]] against {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, and {{type|Rock}} Pokémon (all of which were rarely used in competitive battling); Steel and Dark are both weak to Fighting-type moves. Steel-type Pokémon are known for their very high defense; they are highly resistant to many types and their moves are strong against Ice- and Rock-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are immune to Psychic-type moves and have moves with malicious-sounding names, such as {{m|Bite}} (previously {{type|Normal}}) and {{m|Thief}}, which are super-effective against Psychic-type Pokémon. Dark-type Pokémon are also strong against {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, thus being the only type that has an attack advantage over Ghost-type Pokémon besides Ghost-type moves themselves. Dark-type Pokémon are also weak to Bug-type attacks.

Some type match-ups were changed as well. In Generation I Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon; this was changed to super-effective as it was in the anime. {{type|Poison}} moves were previously super effective against Bug-type Pokémon, and Bug-type moves were super effective against Poison-type Pokémon; this was changed to Poison doing normal damage to Bug and Bug becoming not very effective against Poison, seriously limiting the effectiveness and usage of both types. Ice-type moves were also made not very effective against {{type|Fire}} Pokémon (previously doing normal damage). Three moves had their types changed: {{m|Gust}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Flying}} move; {{m|Bite}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Dark}} move; {{m|Karate Chop}}, previously Normal-type, became a {{type|Fighting}} move. Two Pokémon, {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}, changed from being {{type|Electric}} to being {{t|Electric}}/{{t|Steel}}.

Another major change from the original games was the splitting of the {{Stat|Special}} stat into {{Stat|Special Attack}} and {{Stat|Special Defense}}. Again, this increased aspects of strategy, for Pokémon were now more specialized. Some were good special attackers, while others were better physical attackers; the same now held true for Defense and Special Defense. For example, {{p|Cloyster}} has a decent Special stat in Generation I, but in all later games, has a decent Special Attack, but low Special Defense.

==Reception==
The games were generally well received and in-turn received a "Masterful" 10/10 by IGN.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/012/012865.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version (Pokemon Gold)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Craig Harris of that site states "after playing the game dozens of hours, I really can't think of a bad point to make about Pokémon Gold and Silver."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/162/162865p1.html IGN: Pokemon Gold Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Battery life==
Copies of Pokémon Gold and Silver typically lose the ability to save after a period of about seven years, due to the internal battery running dry (this is due to the constantly-running clock). However, the battery is replaceable with another one of the same kind, although replacing it will reset the game's data. The problem appears less often with {{game|Crystal}}.

One sign that the battery will soon lose the ability to save is that the game will not keep track of the time correctly while the game is not being played.

==Trivia==
* The games also started the trend of having [[legendary Pokémon]] as [[Version mascot|mascots]] and the trend of using types of precious stones or metals as names.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[Version#Relation to one another|paired versions]] where Pokémon sprite designs differ between the two games.
* None of the [[in-game trades]] in Gold and Silver feature the player trading away ''or'' receiving a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}, making them the only games in which a player must link up with another player to trade Pokémon of that generation.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only games so far to have differences between the version-exclusive Pokémon in the Japanese and international releases, with the {{p|Teddiursa}} and {{p|Phanpy}} families getting swapped in the localizations; the Teddiursa family is in the Japanese Silver and non-Japanese Gold, while the Phanpy family is the opposite. In all versions of the remakes, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Teddiursa family is in SoulSilver while the Phanpy family is in HeartGold, like the original Japanese Gold and Silver.
* These are the only games before [[Generation IV]] to be released in South Korea.
* Gold and Silver, as well as [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|their remakes]], have the most types that have been specialized in by [[Gym Leader]]s, adding up to 15.
** If one includes the [[Elite Four]], the {{type|Ground}} is the only type that is not specialized in by an important Trainer in these games.
* Pokémon Gold and Silver are the only [[version|main series]] games that have not had an official soundtrack album released.
* Due to a possible oversight in the international versions, the Japanese quotation marks are used in certain parts of the dialogue, like in radio stations. This was corrected in Crystal.

Friendship

Pacter:

'''Happiness''' is a measurement of how much a Pok?mon loves its {{pkmn|Trainer}} and enjoys being in their care. Happiness affects the [[evolution]] of {{cat|Pok?mon that evolve by happiness|certain Pok?mon}}, the power of {{m|Return}} and {{m|Frustration}}, and the availability of a few in-game items and ribbons. Certain events increase a Pok?mon's happiness (gaining a level, walking 256 steps) or decrease it (fainting, using [[herbal medicine]]).

Happiness was introduced in {{game|Yellow}} for the player's starting Pikachu only, and expanded to cover all Pok?mon in [[Generation II]].

==Generation I==
A prototype of the happiness system used by later games was introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, the last [[main series]] game of [[Generation I]]. Like the later system, its value ranged between 0 and 255 inclusive; however, this value was only applied to the {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} the player [[starter Pok?mon|started with]].
[[File:PikachuY-Happy.png|thumb|right|Pikachu at maximum happiness]]
Unlike later games, since Pikachu is outside of its [[Pok? Ball]], the {{player}} can turn and look at it at any time as it follows him around the overworld. Pikachu will then indicate its happiness in a small window that appears. At maximum happiness, Pikachu will jump up and down before the window appears.

Like later games, Pikachu's happiness will rise when it gains a level. If its Trainer uses an item on Pikachu, its happiness will also rise, even if it is an item that has no effect on Pikachu (such as a [[Potion]] at full HP). In this manner, Pikachu is much easier to make happy than Pok?mon in future generations.

Pikachu's happiness drops if it is put into [[Bill's PC]] or faints. Trading it to another game will reset its happiness to 0.

Happiness is not recorded for any other Pok?mon in Generation I, and the happiness of Pikachu does not affect much: the only real effect it has is whether [[Melanie]] will give {{p|Bulbasaur}} away in [[Cerulean City]], which she will only do if Pikachu's happiness is 147 or higher.

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]], the happiness system became fully implemented, building on the system used in Yellow by tracking the happiness of every Pok?mon owned by the Trainer. Like before, it is a single byte with a value between 0 and 255.

Happiness is set when a Pok?mon is brought under a Trainer's control: that is, it is 70 when a Pok?mon is captured from the wild, and reset to 70 when a Pok?mon is traded from another game. When a Pok?mon is hatched from an {{pkmn|egg}}, its value is set to 120. If a Pok?mon is captured in a [[Pok? Ball#Generation II Pok? Balls|Friend Ball]], rather than any other kind, its happiness is set to 200 instead.

Another function was given to happiness in Generation II: the evolution of certain Pok?mon, which has continued until the present as each generation introduces new Pok?mon which evolve through happiness. Happiness-based evolutions occur when a Pok?mon's happiness is 220 or higher.

Unlike in Generation I, happiness will not increase if an item that cannot be used is used on a Pok?mon: for example, using an [[HP Up]] on a {{p|Quilava}} which already has the maximum HP it can have will not result in raised happiness.

However, some things, though frequently reported, aren't part of the Generation II modifier. The following are actions that do not affect a Pok?mon's happiness, either positively or negatively:
*Putting a Pok?mon in Bill's PC
*Healing a Pok?mon when weak and injured
*Giving a Pok?mon a hold item
*Using a Pok?mon in battles
*Winning battles with a Pok?mon
*Letting a Pok?mon's HP fall to critical status
*Letting the player's Pok?mon get a status condition like Paralysis
*Walking when the player's Pok?mon has a status condition

==Generation III==
Happiness in [[Generation III]] works much the same as before, with two additional happiness-boosting mechanics. If a Pok?mon is caught in a [[Luxury Ball]] or is holding a {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}}, all happiness-raising events will increase the Pok?mon's happiness by one point more; happiness-lowering events are not affected. These effects stack on each other, meaning a Pok?mon in a Luxury Ball holding a Soothe Bell gets two additional points per event.

Pok?mon now have a [[List of Pok?mon by base happiness|base happiness]] per species; however, most catchable Pok?mon have the standard 70 points as their starting level.

===Pok?mon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the player can know the happiness level of his/her Pok?mon through the scene which appears after the player uses an item on the Pok?mon. The Pok?mon will either move towards the screen or not move at all. If the Pok?mon does not move, then its happiness level is neutral. The happiness level of the Pok?mon can be indicated by looking at how near the Pok?mon goes to the player. The nearer the Pok?mon moves towards the screen the higher its happiness level and the more it likes its Trainer.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Friendshipchecker.png|thumb|200px|right|[[Pok?tch]] Friendship Checker app with a {{p|Drifblim}} at maximum happiness.]]
Happiness in [[Generation IV]] is much the same as it is in [[Generation III]], though the conditions are altered slightly. The Luxury Ball now causes a Pok?mon to gain a separate boost in happiness when they level up and while walking compared to Pok?mon in other Balls.

[[Dr. Footstep]], the sole resident of the Footstep House on {{rt|213|Sinnoh}}, will give a Pok?mon with maximum happiness a [[ribbon]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the player can gauge their Pok?mon's happiness based on the phrase that appears when they are spoken to outside of their Pok? Ball.

{{Daisy}} makes a return in HeartGold and SoulSilver. Visiting her in Pallet Town will let her groom one of the player's Pok?mon between 15:00 and 16:00 every day, increasing its happiness.

The [[Haircut brothers]] also make a return in HeartGold and SoulSilver. The player can visit them on any day of the week besides Monday to give one of their Pok?mon a boost in happiness.

In the table below, the first and second values separated by slashes show the changes for most Pok? Balls and {{DL|Pok? Ball|Luxury Ball}}s, respectively. Note that holding a {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}} will apply a multiplier of 1.5 (rounding down) to only '''positive''' changes and that use of Luxury Balls will ''not'' reduce the effects of negative changes.

? These include [[Pomeg Berry]], [[Kelpsy Berry]], [[Qualot Berry]], [[Hondew Berry]], [[Grepa Berry]], and [[Tamato Berry]] (No. 21-26).

==Generation V==
Happiness is very much the same in Generation V as it was in Generation IV. As far as it has been tested, happiness conditions and related items are much the same, with the main differences being in what NPCs will rate and measure happiness. A lady in [[Nacrene City]] will rate the happiness of the player's Pok?mon. Another lady, in the [[Pok?mon Fan Club]] located in [[Icirrus City]] will also rate the happiness of the player's Pok?mon. A third lady in [[Castelia City]] will massage one of your Pok?mon per day, raising its happiness. She is located in the first building on the left side of {{DL|Castelia City|Castelia Street}}.

The happiness statistics appear to have not changed much since Generation IV. Note that holding a {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Soothe Bell}} will still apply a multiplier of 1.5 (rounding down) to only '''positive''' changes and that use of {{DL|Pok? Ball|Luxury Ball}}s will ''not'' reduce the effects of negative changes.

==Evolutions==
Several Pok?mon evolve after being leveled up when their happiness level is at or above 220:

==Happiness raters==
Happiness raters are [[Non-player character|NPC]]s that will indicate the happiness of the first Pok?mon in the player's party when spoken to. Some will give away certain items depending on the happiness, while others just tell the player how happy the Pok?mon is.

===Locations===
*[[Goldenrod City]]: A woman in the house northeast of the Bike Shop will rate a Pok?mon's happiness.
*[[Goldenrod Department Store]]: On {{DL|Days of the week|Sunday}}s only, a woman at the TM Corner, on the fifth floor, gives away either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100).
*[[Verdanturf Town]]: A woman in the house in the south-western part of town will rate a Pok?mon's happiness. {{tt|*|This NPC will say sentences other than those in this table, with seven in all.}}
*[[Pacifidlog Town]]: Once every week, a man gives away either {{TM|27|Return}} (happiness above 150) or {{TM|21|Frustration}} (happiness below 100).
*[[Pallet Town]]: At {{ga|Blue}}'s house, [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] will rate a Pok?mon's happiness.{{sup|FRLG}}
*[[Hearthome City]]: An NPC rates happiness in the [[Pok?mon Fan Club]].
*{{rt|213|Sinnoh}}: At the Footstep House, [[Dr. Footstep]] will rate a Pok?mon's happiness, albeit in a roundabout way which differs among Pok?mon species.
*[[Eterna City]]: A woman who gives the player the [[Pok?tch]] App, [[Pok?tch#Friendship Checker|Friendship Checker]], will rate the happiness of the player's Pok?mon.
*[[Icirrus City]]: At the [[Pok?mon Fan Club]], a member there will rate a Pok?mon's happiness.
*[[Nacrene City]]: A woman in the building to the right of the Pok?mon Center with a {{p|Cottonee}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Petilil}}{{sup|W}} will rate a Pok?mon's happiness.{{tt|*|This NPC, unlike the member of the Icirrus City Pok?mon Fan Club, will not issue statements identical to the ones written above.}}

In addition, the [[Pok?tch]] App, {{DL|Pok?tch|Friendship Checker}}, will display a Pok?mon's happiness on a scale of one to two small or big hearts. If the Pok?mon has a low happiness number, then it will move away from the point where the [[Nintendo DS]] screen is touched.

==In spin-off games==
===Pok?mon Ranger: Shadows of Almia===
[[File:Happy Mood SoA.png|frame|Two Pok?mon in a Happy Mood]]
Happiness also has an effect in the second Ranger game. [[Partner Pok?mon]] can have the condition of ''Fine'', ''Happy'', or ''Very Happy''. When it is in a Happy Mood, musical notes come out. Black musical notes come out of it when it is happy. Multicolored musical notes come out when it is very happy. This may happen whether it is with the player. This state of mind increases the speed the Partner Gauge fills up due to more Partner Energy being given.

Egg Move

2011-11-17T16:54:55Z

Pacter:

An '''egg move''' is a move passed down from a [[Pokémon breeding]] pair to their offspring. This can happen in one of four different ways.

# If both parents know one or more moves that their offspring could learn by [[level]]ing up, the offspring will have that move.
# If the male Pokémon knows a [[TM]] or [[HM]] move that the offspring can learn, the offspring will have that move.
# If the male Pokémon knows a move that the offspring can learn only by breeding. For example, if a male {{p|Dragonite}} knowing {{m|Outrage}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Outrage.
# All offspring Pokémon, in the absence of passed-down moves, will know at least one move when hatched, labeled in their level up move list as either "Start" or "--" in lieu of a level number. If these moves, together with the other egg moves obtained in the above ways, number more than four, then the moves on top of their level up move list (with "Start" or "--") will be the ones that do not show up.

Most online Pokédexes list moves from the third category as a Pokémon's egg moves. Before breeding a Pokémon, one must consider whether to use any egg moves in that Pokémon's moveset, and breed accordingly. To learn more than one egg move, since they are only passed on by the father, only a father Pokémon in the appropriate [[egg group]] that can legitimately have all of the moves in one moveset can be used. This makes certain combinations of Egg Moves impossible for certain Pokémon: e.g. {{p|Tentacruel}} has both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as available Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the Water 3 [[egg group]] can learn both moves so Tentacruel can't use both in the same moveset.

Sometimes to get a certain moveset onto a Pokémon, such as a {{p|Gible}} with {{m|Outrage}} and {{m|Thrash}} several steps must be taken. This is called [[chain breeding]].

==Exceptions==
* Certain Pokémon, like {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Beldum}}, cannot inherit any egg moves and start with only {{m|Splash}} and {{m|Take Down}}, respectively.
* {{p|Pichu}} can "inherit" {{m|Volt Tackle}} if the female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} of the breeding pair holds the [[Light Ball]].
* [[Incense]]-bred Pokémon often have a different egg move list than their evolved forms.

Pokémon breeding

Pacter:

'''Pok?mon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pok?mon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pok?mon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
Pok?mon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pok?mon at the [[Pok?mon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] and {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]]. Two Pok?mon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[egg group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pok?mon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pok?mon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pok?mon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pok?mon) can only breed with Ditto.


=====Breeding rate<ref>http://www.legendarypokemon.net/breeding</ref>=====
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."
* '''Different egg groups, same genders or No eggs group'''
The Pok?mon are incompatible and therefore will not make an egg.
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pok?mon than each other."

====Receiving the egg====
When there are two compatible Pok?mon in the Day Care, for every 256 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pok?mon. If there was an egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pok?gear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the egg and receive it later.

====What will hatch====
After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] and {{Gen|V}}) first-stage Pok?mon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.

However, there are two pairs of Pok?mon species where the male and female are treated as different Pok?mon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; The pairs are the following:

There are also some Pok?mon which will produce variable eggs. The Pok?mon that is in these eggs will depend on whether the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.

===Hatching eggs===
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the Pok?mon's species' required number of egg cycles. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pok?mon with the fewest egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pok?mon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pok?mon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of egg cycles required for hatching.

"Time" is actually determined by egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pok?mon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one egg cycle count. If the egg cycle count for an egg reaches zero or a negative number, the egg will begin to hatch. If an egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an egg cycle count from the rest of the eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two eggs can hatch at the same time.

The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an egg from the Day Care Man (or in the Manaphy egg's case, from the mystery gift delivery man in the Pok? Mart). Every time an egg is received, the game automatically resets the egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the egg hatching process for every egg accepted from the Day Care Man (the egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an egg cycle from the eggs, any eggs ready to hatch upon this type of egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an egg.

For example, a {{p|Gligar}} egg requires 21 egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an egg hatching or egg pickup. After each egg cycle is completed, this egg will drop one egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the egg from hatching, the egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the egg is stopped from another egg pickup.

There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bike]] (for example) would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, for there is no "Mach Bike" available. Additionally, in Pok?mon Emerald and onwards, if any Pok?mon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the egg. In the Gligar example, the egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the egg would drop 2 egg cycle counts after each egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicyle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up egg hatching is to use the Pok?tch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an egg from the Day Care Man one step after an egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor ability, and may only ever reduce the egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the egg, the egg would reduce one egg cycle count (down to 20), and the egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day Care Man with only one step, the egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an egg from the Day Care Man, and the egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar egg, reducing the egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.

===Passing moves down===
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pok?mon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pok?mon will start with any moves that it would learn as a "Start" move in its learnset (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).
*The Pok?mon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as Breloom's Mach Punch, which Shroomish cannot learn for obvious reasons).
*The Pok?mon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[move tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pok?mon will start with any [[egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the Pok?mon Day Care.

From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pok?mon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pok?mon. The probability of a Pok?mon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.

When determining if two Pok?mon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pok?mon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pok?mon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from the first parent or an {{DL|Stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP.

====Generation V====
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Inheriting Natures===
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pok?mon's Nature. When breeding a female Pok?mon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pok?mon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 Everstone breeding working on males] - Pok?Community forums</ref> Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pok?mon are from different real world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V. <ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 RNG Research] - Smogon fourms</ref>

===Inheriting abilities===
From Generation V, female Pok?mon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pok?mon from the same [[egg group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}).

Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pok?mon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.

===Breeding for Shininess===
====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pok?mon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pok?mon is Shiny or not, an egg bred from an alternately-colored Pok?mon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pok?mon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pok?mon met in the wild.

====Generation IV====
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now an increased chance (1/2048 as opposed to 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pok?mon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.

====Generation V====
In Generation V, the odds of the Masuda method's success rate increased from 1/2048 to 1/1366.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 Smogon forums - RNG Research]</ref>

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pok?mon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by [[Pok?mon Breeder]]s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pok?mon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pok?mon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|professor}}s get their [[starter Pok?mon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swampy]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pok?mon egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Phanpy|his]] {{AP|eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Eevee|egg]].

Pok?mon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pok?mon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.

==Trivia==
*Some aspects of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion, in particular, Pok?mon which breed differently depending on whether they hold an [[incense]] item. However, the necessity for an item that wasn't available in previous generations explains why the resulting [[baby Pok?mon]] wasn't available either.
*Some unusual pairings of Pok?mon can be found within the egg groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pok?mon breed.
*One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran�|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.
*Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pok?mon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pok?mon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{ga|Pok?mon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pok?mon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.
*When a Pok?mon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pok?mon can be found in the [[route]]s around the {{player}}'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity has been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pok?mon started at level 1.
*No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pok?mon in [[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|V}}, despite this being impossible in [[Generation II]] due to data storage methods regarding the [[individual values]].
*The [[Pok?mon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

Trainer ID number

Pacter: /* Intro */ "or not" is not necessary with "whether"

[[File:OT ID.png|thumb|This {{p|Tepig}}'s Trainer's ID number is '''23202'''.]]
A [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s '''ID number''' is a five-digit number that is assigned to a Trainer when they begin their Pokémon journey. It is used, in conjunction with the [[Original Trainer|Trainer's name]] and gender, to identify whether the Pokémon is an [[outsider Pokémon]] by the {{pkmn|games}}. The highest possible ID number in any game is [[wikipedia:65535|65535]].

==Special ID numbers==
{{main|List of notable ID numbers}}
Sometimes, there are special ID numbers assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize. Also, for Pokémon not yet hatched from their {{pkmn|egg}}s, the ID ????? is used. It will turn into the ID number of the Trainer who hatches the Pokémon. It is also used for [[Purification|unpurified]] [[Shadow Pokémon]]. Once purified, the ID number will change to that of the Trainer who [[Snagging|snagged]] it.

==Secret ID==
From [[Generation III]] onward, there is a second, secret ID number, different from the visible one. This number exists purely to make sure that even if two Trainers share the exact same name and gender and the exact same Trainer ID number, the game will still recognize their Pokémon as coming from different Trainers. Usually, this number cannot be viewed; however, certain [[Cheating|cheating devices]] can be used to view it. It also comes into play along with the normal ID number and the [[personality value]] in determining if a Pokémon is {{Shiny}}. If two different Trainers have the same [[Original Trainer|Trainer name]], identical ID numbers and identical hidden ID numbers (a 1 in 4,294,967,296 chance if the names do not differ), the game will recognize the two Trainers as the same, so the Pokémon are not considered to be [[outsider Pokémon]].

==Pokémon Lottery Corner==
{{main|Pokémon Lottery Corner}}
From [[Generation II]] through [[Generation IV]], the player may take part in the Pokémon Lottery Corner every day (every week in Generation II). This involves the generation of a random 5 digit number, which is compared with the player's Pokémon's [[original Trainer]]'s ID numbers. Depending on the game and the nature of the match-up of digits, the player can receive a prize. This feature was not included in the [[Generation V]] games.

Pokémon breeding

2011-11-17T16:52:33Z

Pacter: /* Receiving the egg */

'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] and {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[egg group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.


=====Breeding rate<ref>http://www.legendarypokemon.net/breeding</ref>=====
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."
* '''Different egg groups, same genders or No eggs group'''
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an egg.
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."

====Receiving the egg====
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 256 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether the old man has found an egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the egg and receive it later.

====What will hatch====
After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] and {{Gen|V}}) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.

However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; The pairs are the following:

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable eggs. The Pokémon that is in these eggs will depend on whether or not the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.

===Hatching eggs===
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of egg cycles. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of egg cycles required for hatching.

"Time" is actually determined by egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one egg cycle count. If the egg cycle count for an egg reaches zero or a negative number, the egg will begin to hatch. If an egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an egg cycle count from the rest of the eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two eggs can hatch at the same time.

The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an egg from the Day Care Man (or in the Manaphy egg's case, from the mystery gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an egg is received, the game automatically resets the egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the egg hatching process for every egg accepted from the Day Care Man (the egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an egg cycle from the eggs, any eggs ready to hatch upon this type of egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an egg.

For example, a {{p|Gligar}} egg requires 21 egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an egg hatching or egg pickup. After each egg cycle is completed, this egg will drop one egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the egg from hatching, the egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the egg is stopped from another egg pickup.

There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bike]] (for example) would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, for there is no "Mach Bike" available. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the egg. In the Gligar example, the egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the egg would drop 2 egg cycle counts after each egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicyle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an egg from the Day Care Man one step after an egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor ability, and may only ever reduce the egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the egg, the egg would reduce one egg cycle count (down to 20), and the egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day Care Man with only one step, the egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an egg from the Day Care Man, and the egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar egg, reducing the egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.

===Passing moves down===
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn as a "Start" move in its learnset (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as Breloom's Mach Punch, which Shroomish cannot learn for obvious reasons).
*The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[move tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the Pokémon Day Care.

From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from the first parent or an {{DL|Stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP.

====Generation V====
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Inheriting Natures===
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 Everstone breeding working on males] - PokéCommunity forums</ref> Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V. <ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 RNG Research] - Smogon fourms</ref>

===Inheriting abilities===
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[egg group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}).

Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.

===Breeding for Shininess===
====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.

====Generation IV====
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now an increased chance (1/2048 as opposed to 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.

====Generation V====
In Generation V, the odds of the Masuda method's success rate increased from 1/2048 to 1/1366.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 Smogon forums - RNG Research]</ref>

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by [[Pokémon Breeder]]s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swampy]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Phanpy|his]] {{AP|eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Eevee|egg]].

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.

==Trivia==
*Some aspects of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion, in particular, Pokémon which breed differently depending on whether they hold an [[incense]] item. However, the necessity for an item that wasn't available in previous generations explains why the resulting [[baby Pokémon]] wasn't available either.
*Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the egg groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed.
*One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.
*Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.
*When a Pokémon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pokémon can be found in the [[route]]s around the {{player}}'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity has been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.
*No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|V}}, despite this being impossible in [[Generation II]] due to data storage methods regarding the [[individual values]].
*The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

'''Time''' is a mechanic in the [[Pokémon games]]. It was introduced in [[Generation II]] and has been a major component of all games released afterward. Time affects the [[evolution]] of several {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the effectiveness of certain [[move]]s, and when Pokémon can be found in the [[wild Pokémon|wild]]. Some events may take place at a specific time of day, or on a particular [[days of the week|day of the week]].

[[Berry|Berries]] are governed by the time function, maturing after a certain amount of time has passed. Much like [[weather conditions]], the games' time function has been revised and expanded in each subsequent generation after its introduction.

==Generation II==
[[File:MorningGS.png|thumb|right|250px|{{rt|29|Johto}} in the morning]]
In [[Generation II]], the changing time of day was a highly touted feature for the games; several Pokémon were even designed with this in mind, such as {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Noctowl}}, while others would only appear in certain areas at certain times of day.

At the beginning of all three games, the clock would be set upon starting a new game, even before the {{player}} is named. The default time is 10:00 AM. The clock can be reset through a code in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but not in {{game|Crystal}}, and the player's [[Mom|mother]] will change the clock by an hour for Daylight Savings Time.

{{p|Eevee}} was given two [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] to take advantage of the changing time: {{p|Espeon}}, which it would become if its [[Happiness]] maxed out during the morning or day, and {{p|Umbreon}}, which it would become if its Happiness maxed during the night.

===Times of day===
====Morning====
Morning, an hour in which many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are still asleep, is when there are many {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon scurrying out and about. For the most part, however, Morning is much the same as Day, as far as move effectiveness and Pokémon distribution goes. Morning lasts from 4:00 AM to 9:59 AM, and the rising sun tints the entire landscape with a yellowish hue.
[[File:DayGS.png|thumb|right|200px|Daytime near the water.]]

====Day====
The daytime is the busiest time in the [[Pokémon world]], as most people are up and about at this time. The same is true of Pokémon, who appear often and in many varieties. The landscape is not tinted at all during this time, making it seem closer to the timeless games of [[Generation I]]. Day lasts from 10:00 AM to 5:59 PM.

====Night====
A drastic change from the other two time periods, at night most Pokémon are sleeping, with the exception of a few night owls. It is at this time that players will be able to find the most {{Status|Sleep|sleeping}} Pokémon by {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees, which will give them an advantage in {{pkmn|battle}}. The entire world will be colored a bluish-purple, and lights will be on in buildings all over. The longest of Generation II's three time periods, nighttime hours last from 6:00 PM to 3:59 AM.

[[File:NightGS.png|thumb|200px|right|Nighttime. Note the building lights illuminating brightly.]]

===Days of the week===
{{main|Days of the week}}
When the [[Pokégear]] is first received, the player's mother will ask {{ga|Ethan|him}} or {{ga|Kris|her}} to set the day of the week as well. This affects several things, such as the [[National Park]]'s [[Bug-Catching Contest]] and which of the [[Week Siblings]] appears, though not much else.

==Generation III==
Unlike Generation II, [[Generation III]] had no separate time periods, or even an ability to check the time in-game unless the player traveled back to [[Littleroot Town]], where they had set an analog clock at the beginning of the game. Also unlike Generation II, the time-based events were very few and extremely far between, with the clock mostly running to keep track of the growth of planted [[Berry|Berries]] ([[Berry glitch|although this was not completely foolproof]]).

Additionally, for no apparent reason, there is no way to change the clock for Daylight Savings Time in this generation. There was, however, some premise in the games. For example, [[Shoal Cave]]'s water level would change every six hours, at 3:00 and 9:00 AM and PM. Just the same, Eevee would be able to evolve into Espeon if the in-game time was between 12:00 PM and 11:59 PM. Eevee would also be able to evolve into Umbreon if the in-game time was between 12:00 AM and 11:59 AM.

Although a small part of the game, some events occur on a daily basis. [[Lilycove Department Store]] gives out Pokémon Loto Tickets for the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner]], with the winning number changing daily. An old man who lives in [[Pacifidlog Town]] looks out for [[Mirage Island]], and will, every day, generate a random number between 0 and 65535 and if this number matches the personality value of any of the Pokémon in the party, Mirage Island will appear in the game.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, however, the time function is completely absent, allowing it to be more like the [[Generation I]] games. This also makes it impossible for Eevee to evolve into either Espeon or Umbreon in these games. The same holds true for [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], where Espeon and Umbreon are obtainable by [[Starter Pokémon|other means]].

The loss of such an important feature from Generation II was somewhat controversial. When the next generation of games was announced, however, many fans hoped to see the return of the classic time system.

==Generation IV==
[[File:DP Timechange.gif|thumb|250px|The overworld as it cycles through the day.]]
In [[Generation IV]], the time function returned fully, to the joy of many. This time, however, it would run off the [[Nintendo DS]]'s system clock, though it would return many of the functions originally released in Generation II. Many new Pokémon also now would evolve based upon the time of day. For example, {{p|Gligar}} will only evolve into {{p|Gliscor}} at night.

The three time periods from Generation II return, with better transitions between them, assumed by many before the games were released as different time periods themselves. Also running off the DS's clock is the same [[Days of the week|day-of-the-week]] function from the Generation II games, though this time, by running off the DS, it keeps track of the date of capture of every Pokémon. It also determines when certain events may take place; for example, {{p|Drifloon}} only appear in the [[Valley Windworks]] on Fridays, and [[rival]] battles in the [[Battle Zone]] only may be initiated on weekends.

The [[Pokédex]] also has a new function that displays where Pokémon are found in each time period. When it is first opened, the Sinnoh Pokédex will also default to the current time of day.

===Times of day===
====Morning====
Morning tints everything a pale blue color, changing from dark blue of night into bright blue of daytime. Morning lasts from 4:00 AM to 9:59 AM.

====Day====
Everything takes on its natural color during the day. Day lasts from 10:00 AM to 7:59 PM, with twilight lasting from around 5:00 PM until night sets in.

====Night====
Much like its Generation II counterpart, the world is dark, but pockmarked by the bright lights of buildings. Night lasts from 8:00 PM to 3:59 AM, with lights in buildings turning off at 12:00 midnight. A majority of areas in Sinnoh have slightly different music during the night, including [[Pokémon Center]]s, though this is not true in Johto or Kanto.

==Generation V==
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the concept of [[seasons]] was introduced. These are akin to the seasons in the real world, only to allow for less restrictive gameplay, the seasons change with every month.

Seasons affect the time of day - Morning begins an hour earlier in summer, while it begins an hour later in winter. Day lasts an hour longer in summer, while it is an hour shorter in winter. In spring and autumn, the time period division is the same as in Generation IV.

It seems that in favor of seasons, Pokémon are no longer found at different times of day, meaning Pokémon that one would suspect to find during night only will be found during all times of day.

==Time specific events==

Pokémon breeding

2011-11-17T16:48:17Z

Pacter: /* Trivia */

'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of obtaining a new {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} by producing and hatching an {{pkmn|egg}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

==In the games==
===How to breed===
Pokémon can be bred by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on {{rt|34|Johto}} in [[Johto]], {{rt|117|Hoenn}} in [[Hoenn]], {{OBP|Four Island|town}} in the [[Sevii Islands]], [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] and {{rt|3|Unova}} in [[Unova]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species, or share at least one [[egg group]], and are of opposite genders (see below); alternatively, breeding is usually still possible as long as one of them is {{p|Ditto}}, even if the other parent is genderless. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (excluding {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}}), [[baby Pokémon]], {{p|Unown}}, {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed whatsoever. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned Pokémon) can only breed with Ditto.


=====Breeding rate<ref>http://www.legendarypokemon.net/breeding</ref>=====
* '''Same species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 69.3% (has a value of 70).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along very well."
* '''Same species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, different ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 49.5% (has a value of 50).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two seem to get along."
* '''Different species, same ID numbers'''
The chance of getting an egg is 19.8% (has a value of 20).
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two don't seem to like each other."
* '''Different egg groups, same genders or No eggs group'''
The Pokémon are incompatible and therefore will not make an egg.
The old man in the Day Care will say: "The two prefer to play with other Pokémon than each other."

====Receiving the egg====
When there are two compatible Pokémon in the Day Care, for every 256 steps that the player takes, the game will decide whether or not the old man has found an egg, with chances depending on the exact compatibility of the two Pokémon. If there was an egg produced, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), facing the road ({{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}), face left or right instead of down and call the player over the [[Pokégear]] ({{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}), or call the player from a distance when passing by on the road below ([[Generation V]]). However, in {{2v2|Black|White}}, the old man will not call out to the player if the player's party is full, even if he has found an egg. The man will hand the player an {{pkmn|egg}} if he or she replies to his question with "Yes" and has an empty slot in the party, and permanently keep the egg if the player responds "No". If the player selects "Yes" but does not have a spare slot, the man will keep it until the player returns and offer it again. Otherwise, there is no way to refuse the egg and receive it later.

====What will hatch====
After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and {{Gen|III}}) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]] and {{Gen|V}}) first-stage Pokémon of the female species' (or non-Ditto parent's) evolutionary chain.

However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; The pairs are the following:

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable eggs. The Pokémon that is in these eggs will depend on whether or not the parents [[held item|held]] a certain type of [[incense]] while breeding.

===Hatching eggs===
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the Pokémon's species' required number of egg cycles. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon with the fewest egg cycles required for hatching. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Gible}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Chansey}}, and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch due to high numbers of egg cycles required for hatching.

"Time" is actually determined by egg cycle completion, which is determined by in-game steps or biking. An egg cycle is a counted number of steps that activate breeding related programs in the game. One egg cycle lasts 256 steps in the third generation and 255 steps in the fourth generation. After 255/256 steps are taken, the game recognizes the completion of the cycle and does a few things; the step counter for the cycles is reset to zero, the game randomly decides if an egg is to be found at the Day Care (if compatible Pokémon are present in the Day Care at the time), and all (or only a few) eggs currently in the player's team are taken down one egg cycle count. If the egg cycle count for an egg reaches zero or a negative number, the egg will begin to hatch. If an egg hatches, the game stops subtracting an egg cycle count from the rest of the eggs in the team. Due to this, since the third generation, no two eggs can hatch at the same time.

The other way to reset the game counter is to receive an egg from the Day Care Man (or in the Manaphy egg's case, from the mystery gift delivery man in the Poké Mart). Every time an egg is received, the game automatically resets the egg cycle step counter to zero, and counts as another egg cycle completion. This can effectively cut 254 (255 in the third generation) steps off the egg hatching process for every egg accepted from the Day Care Man (the egg must be accepted, not rejected or denied due to a full team to reset the step counter). Although this detracts an egg cycle from the eggs, any eggs ready to hatch upon this type of egg cycle completion will be denied the ability to hatch until the next egg cycle completion by steps, perhaps due to the dialogue between the player and the Day Care man following the pickup of an egg.

For example, a {{p|Gligar}} egg requires 21 egg cycles to hatch, a minimum of 5355 steps if not interrupted by an egg hatching or egg pickup. After each egg cycle is completed, this egg will drop one egg cycle count, down to 20, then 19, then 18, so on and so forth until the egg count hits zero. If nothing restricts the egg from hatching, the egg will hatch into Gligar. If it is restricted, it will continue dropping into the negative numbers from the egg cycles, and will continue to try hatching if the egg is stopped from another egg pickup.

There are ways to speed this system up. Riding a [[bike]] (for example) would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by traveling quickly, raising the step count faster, and completing egg cycles faster. {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, for there is no "Mach Bike" available. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald and onwards, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is anywhere in a player's [[party]], it doubles the egg cycle count reduction, effectively halving the steps needed to hatch the egg. In the Gligar example, the egg would start at 21, and with {{p|Slugma}} in the party, the egg would drop 2 egg cycle counts after each egg cycle, from 21 to 19 to 17 and so on. This feature became standard in [[Generation IV]]. Also, if the player finds a sandy slope the players can hold the "up" button therefore trying to go up. The player will fail unless he or she is not on the bicyle's faster speed, counting as one step. If the player somehow holds this button down for an extended period of time, the egg would eventually hatch. The final way to speed up egg hatching is to use the Pokétch step counter in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to attempt to pick up an egg from the Day Care Man one step after an egg cycle completes. This will cut 254 steps off the hatching process (this particular egg count reduction may not be affected by the Flame Body/Magma Armor ability, and may only ever reduce the egg cycle count by one). In the Gligar example, if the player had the Gligar egg and biked for exactly 255 steps after receiving the egg, the egg would reduce one egg cycle count (down to 20), and the egg cycle step counter would reset. If the player could then reach the Day Care Man with only one step, the egg cycle step counter would read one step taken. Then, the player could receive an egg from the Day Care Man, and the egg cycle step counter would be forced back to zero, and the egg cycle would reduce again for the first Gligar egg, reducing the egg cycle count for the Gligar to 19 in only 256 steps, cutting out 254 steps otherwise.

===Passing moves down===
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn as a "Start" move in its learnset (In [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], they learned all moves that are level 5 and below in their learnset.).
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move. This does not apply to moves that later evolutions can learn (such as Breloom's Mach Punch, which Shroomish cannot learn for obvious reasons).
*The Pokémon will start with any [[TM]] or [[HM]] moves (and in {{v2|Crystal}}, [[move tutor]] moves) that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[egg move]]s that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being overwritten much like when leveling up at the Pokémon Day Care.

From {{game|Emerald}} and onwards, there is a specific method to produce a {{p|Pichu}} that knows the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}: When breeding a {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}, the offspring Pichu will know the move Volt Tackle. The parent need not know the move itself, and is not required to be of any specific gender; however, a male Pikachu or Raichu has to breed either with a female counterpart or with Ditto so that the offspring is, in fact, a Pichu.

===Inheriting stats===
A Pokémon's [[individual values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

====Generation II====
In Generation II games, the baby inherits its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent is Ditto, and in that case it inherits the stats from Ditto. The Defense IV (Individual Value) is passed, and also either the Special IV or the Special IV plus or minus 8 (plus for values in the 0-7 range; minus for values in the 8-15 range); the Special IV has a 50% chance of remaining the same. Attack and Speed IVs are determined entirely at random, whereas HP is determined by the IVs of the other four stats, using the same formula for wild Pokémon. The probability of a Pokémon inheriting ''all'' of its opposite-gender parent's IVs is therefore 1/512.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, their egg group is only one criterion. For Pokémon of the same egg group, if the Defense IVs are the same, and either the Special IVs are the same or 8 off, they are incompatible. This is due to the high likelihood of a family relation, hence the inability to breed.

====Generation III====
In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, exactly three of the baby's IVs are inherited from either parent (which is to say that one parent can contribute a number of IVs that ranges from 0 to 3, and its mate will contribute the remaining number of IVs from other stats). The other three are determined at random, in such a way that it is ''possible'' that more of the offspring's IVs will coincide with those of its parents.

In {{game|Emerald}}, the process is similar but more complicated. First, a random IV is passed from one of the parents to the baby. Afterwards, a random IV of any stat, other than HP, is inherited from either parent to the baby. If this IV is from the same stat as the first IV (not necessarily the same IV value, depending on whether or not the same parent passed it on), it will override it. Finally, another random IV of any stat other than HP and Defense, is passed from one of the parents to the baby. This IV will override any of the previous two if it is from the same stat. The remaining stats (a number ranging from 3 to 5) are determined at random, again with the possibility of one or more IVs coinciding with those of the parents.

====Generation IV====
Inheriting IVs in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is determined in the same way as in {{game|Emerald}}.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the baby will inherit three IVs, each from a different stat and from a random parent. In addition, a new mechanic was added to breeding, where if either or both parents holds an [[EV-enhancing item|EV item]], instead, the baby will receive the IV of the corresponding stat from one of those parents and the baby will then inherit two other different random IVs, each from a random parent. For example, if a parent is holding the Power Anklet, the baby will inherit a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from that parent, and it will also inherit two other different IVs from its parents, for example, Attack and Special Defense. As another example, if one parent holds a Power Anklet and the other parent holds a Power Weight, the baby will inherit either a {{DL|Stat|Speed}} IV from the first parent or an {{DL|Stat|HP}} IV from the second parent, and it will also inherit two different IVs from its parents other than Speed or HP.

====Generation V====
Inheriting IVs in Generation V is determined in the same way as in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Inheriting Natures===
Another change introduced in Emerald is the ability to inherit [[Nature]], which also influences stats. If the mother (or Ditto) is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}}, the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's Nature. When breeding a female Pokémon with Ditto, it is Ditto whose Nature has the increased 50% chance of being inherited in case it holds Everstone.

In [[Generation IV]], in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, inheriting natures remains the same as in Emerald. However, in the Johto remakes, HeartGold and SoulSilver, inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass down its nature, regardless of gender, or whether it is breeding with a Ditto.<ref>[http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=5667076 Everstone breeding working on males] - PokéCommunity forums</ref> Another minor change that is present in all Generation IV games, is that the passing on of natures via an Everstone will not work if the Pokémon are from different real world countries (e.g. Argentina and Spain). This restriction is lifted in Generation V. <ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 RNG Research] - Smogon fourms</ref>

===Inheriting abilities===
From Generation V, female Pokémon with Hidden Abilities have a 60% chance of passing on the Hidden Ability to their offspring when bred with a male Pokémon from the same [[egg group]]. For example, if a female {{p|Darmanitan}} with {{a|Zen Mode}} bred with a male {{p|Simisage}}, the offspring {{p|Darumaka}} may have {{a|Inner Focus}} instead of the usual {{a|Hustle}}, and would evolve into a Darmanitan with Zen Mode (instead of {{a|Sheer Force}}).

Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, and will not be passed down if the female was paired with a {{p|Ditto}}.

===Breeding for Shininess===
====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], a player can breed for "[[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]]." Due to the method the Generation II games use for calculating whether a Pokémon is Shiny or not, an egg bred from an alternately-colored Pokémon has a chance as high as 1/64 of being alternately colored itself, but only if the offspring is of the opposite gender as the Shiny parent. This does not apply in later games, however.

====Generation III====
In [[Generation III]], a bred Pokémon has the same chance of being Shiny as any Pokémon met in the wild.

====Generation IV====
In Generation IV, a new mechanic was added to breeding: there is now an increased chance (1/2048 as opposed to 1/8192) of hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]] when both parents are from different language games. This is due to [[Masuda method|special coding written into the game]] by director [[Junichi Masuda]]. Aside from this addition, the means of breeding for Shininess are otherwise unchanged.

====Generation V====
In Generation V, the odds of the Masuda method's success rate increased from 1/2048 to 1/1366.<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3322452&postcount=664 Smogon forums - RNG Research]</ref>

==In the anime==
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by [[Pokémon Breeder]]s, such as {{an|Brock}}. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work. It has been shown that {{pkmn|professor}}s get their [[starter Pokémon]] from breeders who specifically raise and breed them, like [[Old Man Swampy]] from ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''. There are also a few farm-like facilities that produce [[Pokémon egg]]s of various species. {{Ash}} received [[Ash's Phanpy|his]] {{AP|eggs|Scraggy}} from such locations, as did {{an|May}} and her [[May's Eevee|egg]].

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious {{pkmn|food}}.

==Trivia==
*Some aspects of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion, in particular, Pokémon which breed differently depending on whether they hold an [[incense]] item. However, the necessity for an item that wasn't available in previous generations explains why the resulting [[baby Pokémon]] wasn't available either.
*Some baby Pokémon have different egg move lists than those of their evolved forms.
*Some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the egg groups, such as {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} (which are even said to be mortal enemies), and the most famous pairing: [[HSOWA|Skitty and Wailord]]. Indeed, the characters in the game make special mention of the fact that no one has seen Pokémon breed.
*One particularly unusual oddity is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their {{p|Nidoran♀|pre-evolution}} and male counterparts can.
*Although there is no known way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is evidence that it can occur somehow, since {{pkmn|egg}}s with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in [[Pokémon Snap]] and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will always be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.
*When a Pokémon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pokémon can be found in the [[route]]s around the {{player}}'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity has been addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.
*No negative effects occur from inbreeding Pokémon in [[Generation III]], {{gen|IV}}, and {{gen|V}}, despite this being impossible in [[Generation II]] due to data storage methods regarding the [[individual values]].
*The [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] (which predate Generation II's introduction of breeding) describe Mew giving birth as opposed to laying an egg. These were not retconned in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

List of Pokémon by habitat

2011-11-17T16:39:21Z

Pacter: /* Trivia */

This is a '''list of Pokémon according to their habitats''', from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. This list order places Pokémon that are closely related nearer to each other than they are numerically in the [[National Pokédex]]. However, it does not give the Pokémon new numbers. Pokémon with a National Pokédex number higher than 386 are not included in this list since they were not obtainable in FireRed and LeafGreen.

==Trivia==
* Other than the Urban Habitat, every habitat has at least one [[legendary Pokémon]].
* The Rare Habitat is known for having the most legendary Pokémon in one habitat, it being comprised entirely of legendary Pokémon with the exception of {{p|Unown}}.
* The members of each [[legendary trio]] (but not, in the case of the [[legendary beasts]], the {{p|Ho-Oh|trio master}}) are always placed in the same habitat, with the exception of the [[Weather trio]] — {{p|Kyogre}} is in the Sea habitat, {{p|Groudon}} is in the Rough-Terrain habitat, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is in the Rare Habitat (this is because each member of the weather trio features different elements of the Earth).

'''Mantine''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マンタイン''' ''Mantain'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Mantyke}} when it [[level|levels]]-up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the [[party]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mantine's appearance changes from that of its pre-evolution in several ways. It is larger, has wider fins, and loses its original back markings, which are replaced by two ring-shaped marks. Its coloration is also greyer, and its back is a darker blue, along with gaining a wavy outline on its wings. It gains a streamer-like tail and longer "antennae". It also possesses two pairs of gill slits on its underside. Generally, it is pictured with a Remoraid attached.

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

====Special abilities====
Unlike real-life manta rays, which can only "fly" through water, Mantine can fly in the air if they gain enough speed. They soar gracefully out of the water. Mantine are also able to naturally learn moves considered enigmatic for a Water-type Pokémon, such as {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Bullet Seed}}, {{m|Signal Beam}} and {{m|Confuse Ray}}. However, several of these moves can be understood if one takes into consideration the {{p|Remoraid}} that is attached to Mantine's wing, as it learns all of these moves with the exception of {{m|Confuse Ray}}.

===Behavior===
Mantine are mostly docile. They allow {{p|Remoraid}} to latch onto themselves. When they build up speed, they jump out of the water.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Mantine like to live in large open seas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Mantine is probably a {{wp|filter feeder}} that lives on plankton.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lola Mantine.png|250px|thumb|right|Mantine in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Mantine was used by a trainer that was searching for the Silver Wing in ''[[EP214|Mantine Overboard]]''.

In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Mantine appeared under the ownership of [[Dorian]], owner of the unofficial [[Coastline Gym]].

In ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', a Mantine which belongs to the owner of a ship helped {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} saving the ship from falling off a waterfall.

===Minor appearances===
[[File:Mantine Remoraid Surf.png|200px|thumb|left|A Mantine in the anime, with a {{p|Remoraid}} attached]]
Mantine first appeared as a dreamed up Pokémon in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. [[Molly Hale]] used it against [[Misty's Staryu]].

{{an|Brock}}'s mother, [[Lola]], owns a Mantine which was used in her battle against [[Brock's Onix]] in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

A Mantine owned by a Co-ordinator appeared in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'', with a {{p|Remoraid}} attached to it.

In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', [[Jack Walker]] uses his [[Capture Styler]] on one of these Kite Pokémon so it can help Jack get away from [[The Phantom]] during the beginning of the movie.

A Mantine appeared at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP214|Mantine|Ash's Pokédex|Mantine, the Kite Pokémon. Mantine {{a|Swift Swim|swims}} about the ocean, majestically, and may {{m|fly}} out of the water if it builds up enough speed.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Gold}} catches a Mantine as he floats in the sea in {{PAV|12}}, which helps him in his attempt to defeat {{p|Lugia}}, powered by the {{p|Remoraid}} Gold received for flight transport.

Mantine is seen as one of the Pokémon swimming in the headquarters of [[Team Aqua]].

{{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} later gives {{adv|Emerald}} one of his Mantine from the Battle Factory.

==Trivia==
* Mantine can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Skarmory}}. Both of them are {{type|Flying}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Mantine is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, while Skarmory is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}. Furthermore, neither of the two had any evolutions in Gold and Silver.
** They also have the exact same base stats, except that Mantine is oriented towards the [[Special move|special]] stats, while Skarmory is more based in the [[Physical move|physical]] stats.
* Mantine is tied with {{p|Kyogre}} for having the highest Special Defense out of all {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. Mantine also has the highest Special Defense out of all non-legendary Flying-types.
* Mantine is the fourth Pokémon to have more than one Pokémon in one of its sprites. The first is {{p|Kangaskhan}}, although Kangaskhan is just holding its own baby, not a Pokémon of an entirely different species. The second and third are the morphed Shellder in all of {{p|Slowbro}}'s and {{p|Slowking}}'s sprites. However, Remoraid is absent from all of its Generation IV and V sprites.
* Mantine's shiny sprites in the second and third Generations also show the Remoraid attached to it to be an alternate color; however, they are depicted as light blue rather than gray or pink, the usual color of a shiny Remoraid.

===Origin===
It is similar to a {{wp|manta ray}}, with some {{wp|kite}}-like aspects.

====Name origin====
Mantine's name, an Anglicization of its Japanese name, may be a combination of ''manta'' and ''marine''. It may also be a combination of ''manta'' and ''brine''.

The '''Sevii Islands''' (Japanese: '''ナナシマ''' ''Nanashima'') are an archipelago of nine large islands and several small islands surrounding them far south of [[Kanto]], and are home to several legendary Pokémon: [[Moltres]], [[Lugia]], [[Ho-Oh]] and [[Deoxys]]. They resemble the real-life {{wp|Izu Islands}} and {{wp|Bonin Islands}}. The main islands' only game appearance was in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but the two event islands, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], later appeared in {{game|Emerald|s}}. The Sevii Islands also appeared in various other media based on these games.

==Geography==
The nine Sevii Islands are located to the south of Kanto. According to the ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'''s anime map, the Sevii Islands are in relatively the same area as the Orange Islands and [[New Island]]. These islands cannot be surfed to; to travel from island to island a Pokémon Trainer must take the [[Seagallop Ferries]] from another island or [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

The major seven islands each have a settlement, which are named numerically.
* [[Knot Island]] - {{OBP|One Island|town}}
* [[Boon Island]] - {{OBP|Two Island|town}}
* [[Kin Island]] - {{OBP|Three Island|town}}
* [[Floe Island]] - {{OBP|Four Island|town}}
* [[Chrono Island]] - {{OBP|Five Island|town}}
* [[Fortune Island]] - {{OBP|Six Island|town}}
* [[Quest Island]] - {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}
* [[Navel Rock]]
* [[Birth Island]]

==In the games==
===Plot===
The Sevii Islands follow a trend set by {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and provide most of the post-Elite Four plot in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The Sevii Islands sideplot actually begins as soon as the player has defeated the [[Cinnabar Gym]] and obtained the {{badge|Volcano}}. The first three islands, {{isl|Knot}}, {{isl|Boon}}, and {{isl|Kin}}, are the only areas available until the Elite Four has been defeated, but the plot here is important for continuing the game. By retrieving the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} (and defeating the rival at the Indigo Plateau), the later islands are unlocked.

There is also a plot by [[Team Rocket]] based in the Sevii Islands. It deals with Pokémon evolution, and appears to be the prelude to a plot that is [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|launched three years later]]. Only when the Team Rocket members realize that the player has already defeated Giovanni, who subsequently disbanded Team Rocket, do they give up.

The Sevii Islands is the only area in the extended [[Kanto]] region where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} can be obtained; some {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, including the legendary bird {{p|Moltres}}, have had their habitats moved here from their debut generation.

Some of the Sevii Islands used remixed themes from Gold and Silver as background music, such as the ones from [[Violet City]]/[[Olivine City]] ({{obp|Six Island|town}} and {{obp|Seven Island|town}}), [[Azalea Town]]/[[Blackthorn City]] ({{obp|Four Island|town}} and {{obp|Five Island|town}}), and [[Route]]s {{rtn|42|Johto}}, {{rtn|43|Johto}}, {{rtn|44|Johto}}, and the [[Lake of Rage]] (routes on {{isl|Chrono}}, {{isl|Fortune}}, and {{isl|Quest}} Islands).

===Accessibility===
In FireRed and LeafGreen, Sevii Islands are accessible from the [[Vermilion City]] harbor via a system of boats called the [[Seagallop Ferry|Seagallop Ferries]]. To be able to access [[Knot Island|Knot]], [[Boon Island|Boon]], and [[Kin Island]]s, one needs a {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}}, received from [[Bill]] after defeating [[Blaine]] on [[Cinnabar Island]]. To be able to access [[Floe Island|Floe]], [[Chrono Island|Chrono]], [[Fortune Island|Fortune]], and [[Quest Island]]s, one needs a {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Rainbow Pass}}, received from [[Celio]] in {{OBP|One Island|town}}, after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and obtaining the [[National Pokédex]]. To be able to access [[Navel Rock]], one needs a [[MysticTicket]], and to be able to access [[Birth Island]], one needs a [[AuroraTicket]], both of which can be obtained promotionally with [[Mystery Gift]].

==In other media==
===In the anime===
The Sevii Islands made a fleeting appearance in the anime. They were the setting for ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'': specifically [[Mt. Ember]], which is located on [[Knot Island]]. This appears to have been overlooked by the translation team, and the English dub named the mountain "Mount Magma". The episode dealt with the appearance and attempted capture of {{p|Moltres}}, which roosts at the top of Mt. Ember in FireRed and LeafGreen. A mention to the [[S.S. Anne]] is made in the course of the episode; apparently the vessel used to travel there.

The Sevii Islands also appear in the the anime map released with ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

===In the manga===
The ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga series featured the Sevii Islands as the setting for the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}. This chapter focused on the original [[Pokédex holders]] searching for missing relatives, and incorporated in-game events from the Sevii Islands into the plot, such as the {{p|Deoxys}} event on [[Birth Island]].

==Trivia==
* Although there are only nine islands total, some data in the game reserved for location name index points reveal the following values:
** Sevii Isle 6
** Sevii Isle 7
** [[Sevii Isles 8 and 9|Sevii Isle 8]]
** [[Sevii Isles 8 and 9|Sevii Isle 9]]
** Sevii Isle 22
** Sevii Isle 23
** Sevii Isle 24
*** These areas are not accessible during normal gameplay. All of them, save for Sevii Isle 8 and Sevii Isle 9, have no map data.
* The [[route]]s on the Sevii Islands are not numbered, unlike the other regions. This is likely to prevent confusion as to their relation to the others, as continuing where Johto left off (at {{rt|46|Johto}}, at the time the highest-numbered Johto route) would seemingly imply that Johto is accessible in the games.
* Even though {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} are considered to be the sequels to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, like how {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were sequels to {{2v2|Red|Green}}, the Sevii Islands do not appear in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* Of the regions appearing in the main series games at all, the Sevii Islands appear in the fewest, appearing only in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Name origin===
* The name possibly comes from ''seven'' and the Roman numeral for seven: ''VII''. The Japanese name ''Nanashima'' literally means "seven islands." According to an old woman on Quest Island, they were named the Sevii Islands because they were made in seven days.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターエメラルド''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Emerald was the final main series game released on the [[Game Boy]] line of handhelds.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the v1.1 release), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
** Similarly, the first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the main series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight reorganization due to the addition of trainers for the option of double battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a different puzzle for navigating through it.
* The color of the Champion room at the [[Elite Four]] changed from purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.

===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the four ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

===Gameplay changes===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at new locations and at higher levels.
* The entrances to the Magma and Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating the Elite Four.
* The [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Pokémon across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The Regis' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Tag battles are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside [[Steven Stone|Steven]].
* [[Double battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up if the player is able to be spotted by two trainers at once.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes in the [[PokéNav]] is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[Pokégear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after catching every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New map effects for abilities.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon picks up item based on Pokémon's [[level]].
* [[Ability|Abilities]] have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has them is in the party.
* Having a female Pokémon or Ditto of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raise [[happiness]] and lower [[effort values]] with certain berries.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
*All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader Wallace, have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
*Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

=== Character changes ===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight outfit changes.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[move tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the Sootopolis Gym, [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader [[Wallace]] is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the Elite Four challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

=== Area additions ===
* The fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a fossil is chosen. However, the other fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
*New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] added, as in the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless minigame house added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Utilizing the GameShark device, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While wild Surskit can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legally caught without the aid of another game.

|}

==Compatibility==
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Trading between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This utilizes the traditional [[link cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Many reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy."<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Emerald (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, IGN gave the game an "Impressive" rating of 8/10, stating that there are "special, newly-created treats sprinkled throughout the experience to make experiencing this repeat worthwhile."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/609/609763p1.html IGN: Pokemon Emerald Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Pokémon Emerald was the first game to feature Gym Leader rematches.
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occured to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The [[power points|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.
** [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, returns in Emerald.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted to Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island (town)|Five Island town]].
*** [[Altering Cave]] plays the music that was used in [[Mt. Moon]].
*** Battles with the non-Hoenn legendary Pokémon ([[Mew]], [[Lugia]], [[Ho-Oh]]) use the music from battles with legendary Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Emerald was released in Japan one week after FireRed and LeafGreen were released in North America.
* {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|the game's]] ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which took place in [[Hoenn]] according to Emerald.
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality values]] for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
* Emerald has many similarities with {{game|Platinum}}: both are the third versions of their respective storylines, add a [[Battle Frontier]] in the place of the regional [[Battle Tower]], are represented by the final member of a [[legendary trio]] which was not confirmed to be part of it beforehand, and share features with the [[remake]]s of their generation that are not present in the original paired games.
* All of the Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon not available in Emerald may be obtained through {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} alone.
* The webcomic [[Pokémon-X]] is based around the events of Pokémon Emerald, which contains some Ruby and Sapphire references as well.
*Pokémon Emerald Version is the last Pokémon game ever made for the Gameboy series.
*GameStop released a special tin with a [[Battle Pass]] and more. People could get it if they pre-ordered Pokémon Emerald online.

'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターエメラルド''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[main series]] game.

* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New map effects for abilities.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon picks up item based on Pokémon's [[level]].
* [[Ability|Abilities]] have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has them is in the party.
* Having a female Pokémon or Ditto of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raise [[happiness]] and lower [[effort values]] with certain berries.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
*All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader Wallace, have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
*Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

=== Character changes ===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight outfit changes.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[move tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the Sootopolis Gym, [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader [[Wallace]] is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the Elite Four challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

=== Area additions ===
* The fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a fossil is chosen. However, the other fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
*New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] added, as in the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless minigame house added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Utilizing the GameShark device, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While wild Surskit can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legally caught without the aid of another game.

==Compatibility==
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Trading between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This utilizes the traditional [[link cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Many reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy."<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Emerald (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, IGN gave the game an "Impressive" rating of 8/10, stating that there are "special, newly-created treats sprinkled throughout the experience to make experiencing this repeat worthwhile."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/609/609763p1.html IGN: Pokemon Emerald Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Pokémon Emerald was the first game to feature Gym Leader rematches.
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occured to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The [[power point|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.
** [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, returns in Emerald.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted to Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island]] town.
*** [[Altering Cave]] plays the music that was used in [[Mt. Moon]].
*** Battles with the non-Hoenn legendary Pokémon ([[Mew]], [[Lugia]], [[Ho-Oh]]) use the music from battles with legendary Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Emerald was released in Japan one week after FireRed and LeafGreen were released in North America.
* {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|the game's]] ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which took place in [[Hoenn]] according to Emerald.
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality values]] for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
* Emerald has many similarities with {{game|Platinum}}: both are the third versions of their respective storylines, add a [[Battle Frontier]] in the place of the regional [[Battle Tower]], are represented by the final member of a [[legendary trio]] which was not confirmed to be part of it beforehand, and share features with the [[remake]]s of their generation that are not present in the original paired games.
* All of the Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon not available in Emerald may be obtained through {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} alone.
* The webcomic [[Pokémon-X]] is based around the events of Pokémon Emerald, which contains some Ruby and Sapphire references as well.
*Pokémon Emerald Version is the last Pokémon game ever made for the Gameboy series.
*GameStop released a special tin with a [[Battle Pass]] and more. People could get it if they pre-ordered Pokémon Emerald online.

'''Snatch''' (Japanese: '''よこどり''' ''Snatch'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Snatch is an increased [[priority]] move. The user of Snatch will receive the effects of first [[status move]] used by any opponent on the same turn instead of the opponent.

If two Pokémon use Snatch, the faster of the two will Snatch the first status move, while the slower one will Snatch the move from the faster user of Snatch. This means that only the slower user of Snatch will be able to receive the effects of the status move.

The moves that can be affected by Snatch include stat boosters such as {{m|Swords Dance}} and {{m|Calm Mind}} as well as others like {{m|Substitute}}. Snatch cannot steal the effects of {{m|Helping Hand}}.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターエメラルド''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Emerald was the final main series game released on the [[Game Boy]] line of handhelds.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the v1.1 release), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
** Similarly, the first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the main series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight reorganization due to the addition of trainers for the option of double battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a different puzzle for navigating through it.
* The color of the Champion room at the [[Elite Four]] changed from purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.

===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the four ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

===Gameplay changes===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at new locations and at higher levels.
* The entrances to the Magma and Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating the Elite Four.
* The [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Pokémon across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The Regis' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Tag battles are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside [[Steven Stone|Steven]].
* [[Double battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up if the player is able to be spotted by two trainers at once.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes in the [[PokéNav]] is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[Pokégear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after catching every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New map effects for abilities.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon picks up item based on Pokémon's [[level]].
* [[Ability|Abilities]] have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has them is in the party.
* Having a female Pokémon or Ditto of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raise [[happiness]] and lower [[effort values]] with certain berries.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
*All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader Wallace, have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
*Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

=== Character changes ===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight outfit changes.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[move tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the Sootopolis Gym, [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader [[Wallace]] is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the Elite Four challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

=== Area additions ===
* The fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a fossil is chosen. However, the other fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
*New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] added, as in the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless minigame house added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Utilizing the GameShark device, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While wild Surskit can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legally caught without the aid of another game.

==Compatibility==
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Trading between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This utilizes the traditional [[link cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Many reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy."<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Emerald (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, IGN gave the game an "Impressive" rating of 8/10, stating that there are "special, newly-created treats sprinkled throughout the experience to make experiencing this repeat worthwhile."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/609/609763p1.html IGN: Pokemon Emerald Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Pokémon Emerald was the first game to feature Gym Leader rematches.
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occured to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.
** The [[power point|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
** [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, returns in Emerald. It is almost identical between the games.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted to Emerald, but only a handful are actually used:
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island]] town.
*** [[Altering Cave]] plays the music that was used in [[Mt. Moon]].
*** The battle music with a non-Hoenn legendary Pokémon ([[Mew]], [[Lugia]], [[Ho-Oh]]) uses the music when battling a legendary Pokémon in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Emerald was released in Japan one week after FireRed and LeafGreen were released in North America.
* {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|the game's]] ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which took place in [[Hoenn]] according to Emerald.
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality values]] for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
* Emerald has many similarities with {{game|Platinum}}: both are the third versions of their respective storylines, add a [[Battle Frontier]] in the place of the regional [[Battle Tower]], are represented by the final member of a [[legendary trio]] which was not confirmed to be part of it beforehand, and share features with the [[remake]]s of their generation that are not present in the original paired games.
* All of the Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon not available in Emerald may be obtained through {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} alone.
* The webcomic [[Pokémon-X]] is based around the events of Pokémon Emerald, which contains some Ruby and Sapphire references as well.
*Pokémon Emerald Version is the last Pokémon game ever made for the Gameboy series.
*GameStop released a special tin with a [[Battle Pass]] and more. People could get it if they pre-ordered Pokémon Emerald online.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターエメラルド''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Emerald was the final main series game released on the [[Game Boy]] line of handhelds.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the v1.1 release), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
** Similarly, the first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the main series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight reorganization due to the addition of trainers for the option of double battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a different puzzle for navigating through it.
* The color of the Champion room at the [[Elite Four]] changed from purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.

===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the four ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

===Gameplay changes===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at new locations and at higher levels.
* The entrances to the Magma and Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating the Elite Four.
* The [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Pokémon across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The Regis' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Tag battles are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside [[Steven Stone|Steven]].
* [[Double battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up if the player is able to be spotted by two trainers at once.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes in the [[PokéNav]] is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[Pokégear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after catching every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New map effects for abilities.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon picks up item based on Pokémon's [[level]].
* [[Ability|Abilities]] have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has them is in the party.
* Having a female Pokémon or Ditto of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raise [[happiness]] and lower [[effort values]] with certain berries.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
*All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader Wallace, have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
*Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

=== Character changes ===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight outfit changes.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[move tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the Sootopolis Gym, [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader [[Wallace]] is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the Elite Four challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

=== Area additions ===
* The fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a fossil is chosen. However, the other fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
*New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] added, as in the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless minigame house added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Utilizing the GameShark device, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While wild Surskit can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legally caught without the aid of another game.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Emerald}}
'''Pokémon Emerald Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターエメラルド''' ''Pocket Monsters Emerald'') is a sister game to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and is the fifth and final [[Generation III]] [[main series]] game. Like its predecessor, {{game|Crystal}}, it added many features not present in the earlier paired versions.

It was the second highest selling video game of 2005 in North America. It was also the third best-selling game for the [[Game Boy Advance]], losing to its two predecessors, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Emerald was the final main series game released on the [[Game Boy]] line of handhelds.

==Changes from Ruby and Sapphire==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{p|Vigoroth}} move boxes into Brendan's or May's house instead of {{p|Machoke}} (though the cries are not changed due to an oversight, but this was corrected in the v1.1 release), while a {{p|Zigzagoon}} replaces the {{p|Poochyena}} chasing [[Professor Birch]].
** Similarly, the first [[Pokémon Trainer]] fought aside from the [[rival]] has a Poochyena.
* Animated Pokémon front sprites return for the first time since {{game|Crystal}}. This feature was defined as standard for the main series Pokémon games ever since. Emerald is also the first game to have animated back sprites.
* Every [[Gym]] has received at least a slight reorganization due to the addition of trainers for the option of double battles. Some of these Gyms received complete overhauls in their designs, such as the [[Mossdeep Gym]], which was given a different puzzle for navigating through it.
* The color of the Champion room at the [[Elite Four]] changed from purple to blue.
* The [[legendary Pokémon]] battle intros include a different animation before moving into the battle scene. This animation involves the body patterns of the [[weather trio]] and the [[legendary golems]]'s braille eye patterns.

===Storyline changes===
* Both [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] are featured as the villainous teams, each stirring trouble at different stages in the game. The objective of each team, to awaken {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, respectively, is eventually fulfilled.
* {{p|Rayquaza}} is prominent plot-wise, awakened in order to stop the destructive battle between Groudon and Kyogre. It is the one out of the four ancient Pokémon that can be captured prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge, while still at the same place and at the same high level as in Ruby and Sapphire.

===Gameplay changes===
* Groudon and Kyogre are captured at new locations and at higher levels.
* The entrances to the Magma and Aqua Hideouts are not sealed after defeating the Elite Four.
* The [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] Pokémon across [[Hoenn]], {{p|Latias}} or {{p|Latios}}, can be selected right after beating the Elite Four. The one that is not selected is available on [[Southern Island]], requiring the promotional [[Eon Ticket]].
* The Regis' puzzles are somewhat different, though the same in principle.
* Wireless linking with [[Union Room]], as in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Tag battles are available outside link-cable battling. Featured in the Battle Tower with a computer player (or, using the Wireless Adapter, a human player), as well as at the [[Mossdeep Space Center|Space Center]] stage of the game, battling alongside [[Steven Stone|Steven]].
* [[Double battle]]s are more common as different Trainers can team up if the player is able to be spotted by two trainers at once.
* [[Gym Leader]]s may be rebattled in Double battles, with new Pokémon on their teams that are not regularly found in Hoenn.
* The Trainer's Eyes in the [[PokéNav]] is replaced by Match Call, which integrated a calling system similar to the [[Pokégear]] cellphone.
* {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} may be acquired from Professor Birch after catching every Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} is in its Speed Forme.
* New map effects for abilities.
* New item list for {{a|Pickup}}; Pokémon picks up item based on Pokémon's [[level]].
* [[Ability|Abilities]] have a role in breeding as {{a|Magma Armor}} and {{a|Flame Body}} hurry up the hatching process if a Pokémon which has them is in the party.
* Having a female Pokémon or Ditto of the breeding pair hold an {{evostone|Everstone}} grants a 50% chance of passing down their [[nature]] to the hatched Pokémon when breeding.
* Raise [[happiness]] and lower [[effort values]] with certain berries.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] option of the [[Wireless Adapter]] primarily replaces the [[Mystery Events]] option of the [[e-Reader]]. The [[Enigma Berry]] is thus obtained through Mystery Gift, unlike in Ruby and Sapphire. Mystery Events are absent from the English version of the game.
* Pokémon Contests are all held in [[Lilycove City]].
* Unlike {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, trade restrictions between games are in place. Trading with Ruby and Sapphire as well as with another Emerald only allows trading of Pokémon indigenous to [[Hoenn]] while the player possesses only the country's [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]], while the [[National Pokédex]] is required to trade with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}. This restriction also includes [[Pokémon egg]]s from Ruby or Sapphire regardless if it contains a regional Pokémon. However, trading with {{pkmn|Colosseum}} only requires the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] regardless of the Pokémon being traded.
*All the [[Gym Leader]]s from Ruby and Sapphire, including former Gym Leader Wallace, have upgraded Pokémon teams. The changes include the addition of Pokémon they did not have in Ruby and Sapphire, or in rare cases some of their previous Pokémon are removed from their team.
*Emerald is the first game to have at least one of the Gym Leader's Pokémon hold onto an item.

=== Character changes ===
* {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} have slight outfit changes.
* [[Pokémon Center Ladies|Contest Lady, Quiz Lady, or Favor Lady]] in Lilycove Pokémon Center.
* New [[move tutor]]s added, including most of the ones in FireRed and LeafGreen (all but {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}), along with 15 others that teach moves previously acquired through [[Generation II]] [[TM]]s.
* A new Gym Leader in the Sootopolis Gym, [[Juan]], while its former Gym Leader [[Wallace]] is now the Pokémon Champion.
* The former champion [[Steven Stone|Steven]] can be fought in [[Meteor Falls]] after the Elite Four challenge, with all of his Pokémon at exactly 20 levels higher than in Ruby and Sapphire.
* [[Scott]], a new character introduced in Emerald, will meet the player numerous times throughout the game, ultimately inviting the player to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

=== Area additions ===
* The fossils ([[Root and Claw Fossils|Root Fossil, Claw Fossil]]) in the desert are now found in a short-lived tower called [[Mirage Tower]] that sinks into the ground once a fossil is chosen. However, the other fossil can now be acquired after the Elite Four challenge.
* {{pkmn|Battle Tent}}s replace [[Pokémon Contest]] Halls in [[Verdanturf Town]], [[Fallarbor Town]] and [[Slateport City]]. Instead, all contests take place in [[Lilycove City]].
* A new battle area, [[Trainer Hill]], which is similar to [[Trainer Tower]] found in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. Features [[e-Reader]] compatibility in the Japanese version.
* Another new battle area, the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, an expansion of the existing Battle Tower. This is also the only place to find a wild {{p|Sudowoodo}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (Inside [[Artisan Cave]]) in the Generation III handheld games.
*New areas within the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] and [[Desert Underpass]], introducing 19 Pokémon native to [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. 12 of these Pokémon consist of Johto Pokémon that can only be found in this version other than the Johto Starters, Sudowoodo, and Smeargle, while the other 7 can also be found in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* [[Terra Cave]] and [[Marine Cave]], accessible only after defeating Elite Four, are home to Groudon and Kyogre, respectively. The [[cave]]s are not fixed to one location, and in order to track them it is necessary to investigate the unusual patterns concluded by the [[Weather Institute]].
* [[Navel Rock]], where {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} appear, as well as [[Birth Island]], where Deoxys appears, can be reached in the same way as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* {{p|Mew}} appears on [[Faraway Island]], an island that is located remote from Hoenn. Reaching the island requires a special promotional item, the [[Old Sea Map]].
* [[Altering Cave]] added, as in the one found in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Wireless minigame house added to [[Mossdeep City]], as in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Utilizing the GameShark device, players can find hidden music in the games, including music originally used in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* While Team Aqua's [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]] is at [[Lilycove City]] just like in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Sapphire]], Team Magma's [[Magma Hideout|hideout]] has been moved to a hidden cave at [[Jagged Pass]] and has been given a completely new design. Also, Magma Hideout is now where Groudon is first encountered.

===Missing Pokémon===
These [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] Pokémon are missing from Emerald and must be traded to the game from another Generation III game to be obtained. While wild Surskit can appear in Emerald, the player needs to [[Mixing records|mix records]] with a copy of Ruby or Sapphire Version in order for Surskit to appear by way of [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]]; otherwise, Surskit cannot be legally caught without the aid of another game.

==Compatibility==
Emerald maintained the same levels of compatibility as its companion games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Trading between each of these games is possible, but not with games from Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This utilizes the traditional [[link cable]], or alternatively, the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] like in FireRed and LeafGreen.

While Emerald cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some of the [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] introduced into the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]] extension can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Many reviews criticized Emerald for being too similar to Ruby and Sapphire, with Game Informer stating that "there simply aren't enough changes to make this a must-buy."<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonemerald?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Emerald (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, IGN gave the game an "Impressive" rating of 8/10, stating that there are "special, newly-created treats sprinkled throughout the experience to make experiencing this repeat worthwhile."<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/609/609763p1.html IGN: Pokemon Emerald Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Pokémon Emerald was the first game to feature Gym Leader rematches.
* Although Pokémon Emerald is a modified version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a number of changes occured to make it more similar to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** The game's font has been changed to one very similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen.
** The two event locations from FireRed and LeafGreen, [[Navel Rock]] and [[Birth Island]], make a return.
** The [[power point|PP]] counter for a move now changes color depending on how many power points are left.
** [[Altering Cave]], from FireRed and LeafGreen, returns in Emerald, and is almost identical between the games.
** All of the music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen were inserted, but only a handful are actually used:
*** The ''Pokémon Caught'' fanfare was changed to the one from FireRed and LeafGreen.
*** [[Navel Rock]] plays the music that was used in the routes outside [[Five Island]] town.
*** [[Altering]] Cave plays the music that was used in [[Mt. Moon]].
*** The battle music with a non-Hoenn legendary uses the music when battling a legendary in FireRed and LeafGreen.
* Emerald was released in Japan one week after FireRed and LeafGreen were released in North America.
* {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} appear in [[Fiore]] after [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|the game's]] ending. The two seem to have been hurt in a battle, which took place in [[Hoenn]] according to Emerald.
* The game uses a faulty implementation of the [[pseudorandom number generator]] used in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} games, which allows literally identical [[personality values]] for a Pokémon even after multiple resets. The game neglects to reseed the PRNG on startup (only doing so when the adventure is begun), which means that the personality values of an encountered Pokémon follow a predictable sequence once the seed is found and/or forced.
* Emerald has many similarities with {{game|Platinum}}: both are the third versions of their respective storylines, add a [[Battle Frontier]] in the place of the regional [[Battle Tower]], are represented by the final member of a [[legendary trio]] which was not confirmed to be part of it beforehand, and share features with the [[remake]]s of their generation that are not present in the original paired games.
* All of the Hoenn Pokédex Pokémon not available in Emerald may be obtained through {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} alone.
* The webcomic [[Pokémon-X]] is based around the events of Pokémon Emerald, which contains some Ruby and Sapphire references as well.
*Pokémon Emerald Version is the last Pokémon game ever made for the Gameboy series.
*GameStop released a special tin with a [[Battle Pass]] and more. People could get it if they pre-ordered Pokémon Emerald online.

Remake

2011-11-16T16:34:10Z

Pacter: /* Remake speculation */

A '''{{wp|video game remake}}''' is a game that is made again, in a new and updated style. In Pokémon terms, two pairs of {{pkmn|games}} are remakes: {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, remakes of the [[Generation I]] games {{game|Red and Green|s}} during [[Generation III]]; and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, remakes of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} during [[Generation IV]]. The names of remakes are derived by adding another word to the front of the name of the original game, and written in {{wp|CamelCase}}.

==Remake speculation==
{{fan speculation}}
[[File:ChikoritaJohto2.png|thumb|right|From Johto]]
Before the announcement of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, many had speculated a remake of Gold and Silver since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in 2004. In the [[Generation IV]] games, location pointer data (for a [[caught Pokémon]]'s status screen) includes a reference to [[Johto]], much like it does for [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] when a Pokémon is transferred forward from [[Generation III]]. This left programmers the opportunity to have Johto make an appearance in future games compatible with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. However, Pokémon caught in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and traded to {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} have location data appear as [[Faraway place]], unless caught in a location which also exists in Platinum such as the [[Global Terminal]] or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} ({{ka|Victory Road|Kanto Victory Road}} still shows up as Faraway place).
{{bulbanews|Masuda replies to tweet regarding remakes of Generation III games}}
Because of the "pattern" established by remaking both Red and Green and Gold and Silver two [[generation]]s after their original release, it is now being speculated that [[Generation III]] remakes may appear sometime in the future, possibly during [[Generation V]]. This theory is strengthened by the number of references to the Generation III games:
* Both involved an upheaval to the Pokédex structure: {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} was the first game to have a regional Pokédex excluding Pokémon from previous generations, while {{game|Black and White|s}}'s regional Pokédex was the first to contain no Pokémon from previous generations.
** They also involve introducing little to no [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolutionary relatives from their previous generations]].
* Hoenn is so far the only region of the [[main series]] games not to be rendered in 3D. It is also the only region that did not yet appear in a game specifically compatible with the [[Nintendo DS]] series of handheld consoles by [[Nintendo]].
* The inclusion of the [[HM]] contains {{m|Dive}} that used to travel [[underwater]] [[Abyssal Ruins|locations]], which was previously exclusive to Generation III.
* The inclusion of {{tc|The Riches|a skilled family}} of Pokémon Trainers similar to the [[Winstrate Family]]. Both families are battled in the same way, all consecutively.
* Some of the available [[Décor]] in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] resembles [[decorations]] that are available for [[Secret Base]]s in Hoenn.
* Generation V's [[Elite Four]] theme features a remixed sample from the Generation III Elite Four theme.
* Both Hoenn and Unova have ancient locations that show written messages of a unique language in real life, [[Braille]] and {{wp|Cuneiform}} respectively.
* {{DL|Water tile|Currents}} reappear on [[Route]]s {{rtn|17|Unova}} and {{rtn|18|Unova}}.
* The inclusion of two [[rival]] characters that each have different gender, similar to Generation III.
** [[Cheren]] and [[Wally]], the two rival characters, both appear in [[Victory Road]] for [[rematch]]es.
* A {{tc|Backpacker}} in [[Desert Resort]] tells the player that he comes from Hoenn, and that he doesn't need the [[Go-Goggles]] here unlike in Hoenn.
* In [[Undella Town]] during Summer, a boy tells the player that he and his family comes from Hoenn and visit Undella Town every Summer.
* A [[fossil]] depicting an {{p|Armaldo}} in the [[Nacrene City]] museum.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Dawn}} deciding to travel to [[Hoenn]] to compete in {{pkmn|Contests}} in [[SS024]], as {{an|May}} before her did in [[Johto]].

==Trivia==
* Both sets of remakes are to date the only main series Pokémon games to come bundled with an accessory. FireRed and LeafGreen originally had the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] bundled with them, while HeartGold and SoulSilver are bundled with the [[Pokéwalker]].
** Each of these accessories is a precursor to a feature found in the following generation. Generation IV expanded on the Wireless Adapter's features with the [[Nintendo DS]]'s wireless play, while Generation V's {{pkmn|Dream World}} is a more robust version of the [[Pokéwalker]].
* Both sets of remakes also use artwork on the boxart other than the official artwork released with the game.
* A new female [[player character]] has been introduced in each set of remakes.
* Remade games are retconned to the point of including all known Pokémon as of their release generation, not just the Pokémon available in the original release.

Junichi Masuda

2011-11-16T14:19:15Z

Pacter: /* Video games */

[[File:Junichi_Masuda.png|right|frame|Junichi Masuda]]

'''Junichi Masuda''' (Japanese: '''増田順一''' ''Masuda Jun'ichi'') is one of the founding members of [[Game Freak]] and serves as the Director of the Board. He is best known as a game director and composer for the [[Pokémon games]].

He runs his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir Director's Columns] on [[Game Freak]]'s website, with many recent entries [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english translated into English]. In it, he has talked about why he has done his work in the Pokémon series the way he has and also has given out news about the games he is working on. It was through this column that the [[Masuda method]], a method of easily obtaining [[Shiny Pokémon]], was first documented.

==Early life and career==
Junichi Masuda was born in the {{wp|Kanagawa Prefecture}}, located in the real-life {{wp|Kantō region}}, on January 12, 1968. His family would vacation in the {{wp|Kyūshū region}}, which became the basis for the Pokémon world's [[Hoenn]]. As a teenager, he played the trombone and had interest in classical music, while also maintaining an interest in arcade games and their programming. He was working in a corporate office in 1989 when [[Satoshi Tajiri]] approached him and asked if he would like to join [[Game Freak]], which was just beginning to form at the time. Masuda agreed and became one of the founding members of the company. 2009 marks his 20th anniversary with Game Freak.

The first game that Masuda worked on with Game Freak was composing the music for {{wp|Mendel Palace}}, which was released in 1990. He also composed for [[Nintendo]]'s {{smw|Mario and Wario}} in 1993 and {{wp|Sega}}'s {{wp|Pulseman}} in 1994. Recently, he co-produced the Game Freak title {{wp|Drill Dozer}}.

==Work with Pokémon==
===Video games===
Masuda was the sole composer for the handheld games {{game|Red and Green|s}}. He developed a program called "Sound Driver" in the early 1990s, which was used to play music and sound effects in Game Freak's titles. This program was later used to create all of the original Pokémon's [[cry|cries]].

He has composed the music for every [[main series]] Pokémon game to date. He also composed for {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, {{g|Stadium 2}}, and the [[e-Reader]] applications [[Machop At Work]] and [[Kingler's Day]]. He has also composed music for the Pokémon stages in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.

Gradually, Masuda began to take on duties other than composing. He was appointed sub-director for {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and has directed or co-directed every main series Pokémon game since {{game|Crystal}} as well as {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}. He served as an adviser for Pokémon Stadium, Pokémon Stadium 2, and {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}, and he was the supervisor for {{g|Channel}}.

Masuda has also done design work for the Pokémon games. He designed the [[Hoenn]] region, and he was involved with game design that contributed to {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, although he did not directly serve as a designer for that game.

Masuda has been known by fans for his important and noteworthy announcements relating to the games, among his firsts being the aforementioned [[Masuda method]]. In 2008, Masuda {{n|Masuda: 'Please play Pokémon Diamond/Pearl on Jan. 12'|revealed}} {{weather|diamond dust}} to players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} through his director's column by asking them to play on January 12. The phenomenon first occurred on his fortieth birthday, and it was later discovered to appear on several other days in different years in different games. Slightly over two years later, {{p|Zoroark}} was first revealed by Junichi Masuda as a silhouette in the February 7, 2010 edition of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. Its full image was later revealed in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]], alongside its pre-evolution, {{p|Zorua}}.

Masuda opened his Twitter account in October 2011. Among his {{n|Masuda replies to tweet regarding remakes of Generation III games|first tweets}} was a reply regarding [[remake]]s of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, having fans abuzz due to various translations and interpretations of his reply. Soon after, Masuda gained the attention of fans once again because of his blog post that {{n|Junichi Masuda reveals information on N|revealed information}} about the mysterious character [[N]], including his name and its origin.

===Anime===
Masuda's music is rearranged for the [[Pokémon anime]] by [[Shinji Miyazaki]]. He has also done original design for the series since {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

Masuda has also been involved with many of the Pokémon movies. Masuda was an original creator of the Pokémon movies ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', as well as the ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'', and ''[[PK17|Pikachu's Island Adventure]]'' [[List of anime specials|anime specials]]. He also composed music for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and contributed sound for ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', he was involved with character staging.

===Others===
On keyboards in the group ＭＴＭ, Masuda composed the song [[battle gene M|battle gene Ｍ]] after gaining a request from [[Shoko Nakagawa]]. The song is based on [[Cynthia]]'s theme ''Battle! Shirona'' on the [[Pokémon Black & White Super Music Collection]].

Effort values

2011-11-15T19:23:06Z

Pacter: /* Generation III */

'''Effort values''' (abbreviated '''EVs''' and previously called '''Stat Exp''') are attributes which give bonuses to a Pokémon's [[stats]] and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. These bonuses, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. A Pokémon which increases in level using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} instead of battling does not gain any EVs, making it weaker than a Pokémon who increases in level normally.

Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 {{p|Machop}} will improve a Pokémon's Attack stat more than fighting 100 {{p|Abra}} of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more.

Unlike experience points, effort points are not ''shared'' amongst each Pokémon that participate in defeating a Pokémon- rather, each of the Pokémon will receive the standard amount of effort points.

In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] effort points given are equal to the Pokémon's [[base stats]]. For a list of the effort points that Pokémon give away on their defeat in [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]], and [[Generation V]] see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]].

Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights. Should a Pokémon attain the maximum amount of 510 effort values, it will be eligible to receive an {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Effort Ribbon}} to signify this achievement ([[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}).

Effort values only appear in the [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, and are not present in the spin-off games, such as the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series.

==Generation I==
The EV system was introduced in [[Generation I]], where it was also called '''Stat Experience''' or '''Stat Exp'''.

The [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|Pokémon data structure]] contains two EV bytes for each the five stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed and Special), starting at zero when caught and with a maximum EV of 65535 for each stat. When a Pokémon is defeated, its [[base stats]] are converted to effort points and then added to the EVs. For example, defeating a {{p|Mew}} grants 100 effort points to each EV. (Defeating 656 {{p|Mew}}, therefore, will give a Pokémon maximum EVs in each stat.)

EVs are factored into the Pokémon's stats when it levels up. Additionally, EVs are calculated into stats when a Pokémon is taken from Bill's PC; this is called the [[box trick]]. A Pokémon which reaches level 100 can continue to accrue EVs up to the maximum of 65535 in each stat, and use the [[box trick]] to have those EVs factored in.

[[Vitamins]] add 2560 to one stat's EV, but cannot raise a stat above 25600. Unlike the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} in later games, the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. All}} did not share EVs.

At level 100, the formula for determining the stat difference between a Pokémon trained in that stat and an untrained Pokémon is [[File:EV Formula GenI.png|114px]].

==Generation II==
EVs behave the same in [[Generation II]] as they did in [[Generation I]]. Both Special Attack and Special Defense share the EV for Special to maintain compatibility. The [[box trick]] can still be used.

[[Generation II]] introduced the [[Pokérus]], a rare [[status ailment]] which doubles the effort points gained in battle.

==Generation III==
[[Generation III]] completely overhauls the effort value structure. Effort points are now separate values from the base stats. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 '''effort points''' to a particular stat, depending on species (see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the [[Battle Tower]] or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any effort points. At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat. For every Pokémon that has gained Effort Points in battle, stats will be recalculated upon leveling up, except for {{p|Deoxys}}, whose stats are recalculated after every battle instead. Stats are also recalculated immediately if a [[Vitamin]] or stat-reducing Berry (see below) is used on the Pokémon.

Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. However, at level 100, since a stat increases by 1 point for every 4 effort points, only 252 effort points are required to maximize a stat.

[[Vitamin]]s add 10 effort points, but cannot raise a stat above 100, or raise the total above 510. A new vitamin, {{DL|Vitamin|Zinc}}, enhances Special Defense.

If a Pokémon holds an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, it will receive effort points even if the battling Pokémon has maxed out its effort points. If the Pokémon with the Exp. Share has Pokérus, the amount of effort points received is doubled.

A new held item, the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, doubles the effort points gained in battle. In combination with the [[Pokérus]], a Pokémon can gain four times the normal effort points. However, the effects of the item do not transfer to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

In {{game|Emerald}}, certain [[Berry|Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblock]]s can decrease certain effort values by 10 effort points, while increasing the [[happiness]] of the Pokémon they were used on. These berries are:

| style="{{roundybr|5px}} background:#FFFFFF" | [[Tamato Berry]]
|} 

==Generation IV==
Most of the [[Generation IV]] EV system remains unchanged from [[Generation III]], however, EV-reducing berries will reduce Effort Points to 100 if the current Effort Points for the stat were above 100.

A new series of items exist which give an additional four effort points per Pokémon defeated. Each applies the bonus to a different stat, in addition to the normal effort points gained. The bonus effort points are also doubled by the [[Pokérus]]. The effects of these items do not transfer over to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

|} 

If a Pokémon has [[form differences|alternate forms]] that change its [[stats]] (e.g. {{p|Giratina}}), any effort points acquired will be applied to its stats when the form is changed, allowing the player to boost their Pokémon's stats without having to level it up.

==Generation V==
In [[Generation V]], most of the EV system remains unchanged from Generation {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}. EV-reducing berries no longer reduce Effort Points to 100 if the points were above 100; instead, only 10 EVs are deducted. Pokémon can now gain effort values from battling even at Level 100, and stats are recalculated at the end of every battle instead of only after leveling up, much like Deoxys in the Generation III games.

A new kind of item called [[Wing]]s are introduced which are similar to [[Vitamin]]s but only give 1 effort point when consumed. Unlike Vitamins however, Wings are not subject to the 100 EV limit and can be consumed until the maximum value of 255 for one stat (or a combined 510 for all stats) is reached. There are 7 types of Wings in total, but only 6 Wings contribute to a specific stat: the {{DL|Valuable item|Pretty Wing}} does nothing at all. Wings can be collected from the shadows at [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] or [[Marvelous Bridge]].

PP

2011-11-15T06:24:54Z

Pacter: /* Intro */ "thrice" is no longer in use in modern English.

[[File:PP Screen.png|frame|right|A {{p|Froslass}} displaying partially-depleted PP: {{m|Avalanche}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}} have been used once each, and {{m|Ice Beam}} has been used three times.]]
'''Power points''' (Japanese: '''パワーポイント''' ''Power points''), '''PP''' for short, are the energy that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} requires in order to perform a [[move]].

==In the games==
Power points have existed in every generation, being the secondary reason for healing Pokémon at a Pokémon Center. Each move is assigned a base power point value that is either 1 or an integer multiple of 5, up to 40. In general, weaker moves learned at lower levels will have higher PP, while more powerful moves that are learned by TM only or at high levels will have lower PP.

When a move is learned, its PP will automatically be set to the base PP value, allowing it to be used immediately. However, with TMs in {{game|Black and White|s}} being reusable, this not the case. The PP value will be the same as it was before, regardless of the maximum PP value of the new move, unless the new move has less base PP than the remaining PP of the replaced move.

When PP of a move has been depleted, the Pokémon will no longer be able to use that move until PP is restored. When all of a Pokémon's moves' PP has been depleted, ordering it to attack will result in the Pokémon using {{m|Struggle}}, causing great harm to itself and minimal damage to its opponent.

The ability {{a|Pressure}} will cause all moves that target the Pokémon with this ability to use two PP per use instead of one, causing them to deplete faster. A move which has only 1 PP remaining will execute as normal in these situations. Moves that do not target the Pokémon with Pressure, such as [[Status moves]] which target the user, deplete as normal.

A move that can be used outside of battle, such as {{m|Dig}} or the many [[HM]] moves, will be able to be used regardless of its PP on the field, and will not subtract PP for its overworld uses.

Some moves, especially the [[Shadow moves]] of {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, have no PP value, giving them effectively infinite PP.

===Increasing PP===
All moves, except those which have a base PP of 1, can have their usability increased using a [[PP Up]] or [[PP Max]]. PP Ups boost the move's PP by 20% of the original value per PP Up, and can be used up to three times on the same move. PP Maxes boost a move's PP by 60% of the original value and can only be used once, counting as 3 PP Ups. If a PP Max is used on a move that has already been boosted by a PP Up, it will boost the PP to whatever the maximum would be, serving as two PP Ups if one has already been used, and as one if two have been.

===Restoration===
PP can be restored using [[Ether|Elixirs and Ethers]], with the plain Ether restoring 10 PP for one move, Max Ether restoring full PP for one move, plain Elixir restoring 10 PP for all of a Pokémon's moves, and Max Elixir restoring full PP for all of a Pokémon's moves. The PP of all party Pokémon's moves will be restored when they are healed at a Pokémon Center, while the PP of individual Pokémon will be restored if they are deposited into the PC.

PP can also be restored using [[Leppa Berry|Leppa Berries]], which restores 10 PP for one move, the berry equivalent of Ether.

===Base value alteration===
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the maximum PP of a move that began at 40 PP would be 61, probably due to a lack of data space; this is fixed from [[Generation III]] onward, increasing the maximum to its "proper" value of 64.

Between Generation III and [[Generation IV]], the base PP of several moves, such as {{m|Recover}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}, was altered. If PP Ups had been used on one of these moves in Generation III, this is carried over to Generation IV, with the PP Ups now boosting based on the new value, rather than the old. A Pokémon with Giga Drain with 2 PP Ups used on it in Generation III, having 7 PP for that move, would have 14 PP when transferred to Generation IV, for example.

===Glitches===
A notable glitch found in Generation I allowed {{m|Struggle|struggling}} to be avoided by allowing the game to self-select a move to be used, which could happen to any move used immediately after a Pokémon was defrosted, or due to a handful of moves' effects ({{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Wrap}}) because of the auto-selection involved with partial trapping moves. A move used with 0 PP in this way would {{wp|arithmetic underflow|underflow}} to the maximum possible value, 63 PP, and, due to the way the data is structured, a move that 0 PP Ups had been used on would gain full PP Up status, while those on which PP Ups had been used would lose one PP Up boost. This glitch was addressed in Generation II games and later, which prevent a move from being executed if it has 0 PP.

==In the anime==
While, like other stats, PP has not been directly referenced by the anime, many Pokémon have been seen to have trouble using a specific move repeatedly, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s increasing weakness using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on {{an|Mewtwo}}'s Poké Balls as they chased him down. Pokémon also get visibly exhausted over the course of a battle, even if they don't take any hits.

Talk:Pokémon Emerald Version

2011-11-13T20:18:58Z

Pacter: /* Built on */

''New areas including the Safari Zone'' Huh? The Safari Zone was already there--or do you mean new areas *in* the Safari Zone?

I think whoever made this meant in the Safari zone. I'll edit it..[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 23:07, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Release Date==

The Article says Emerald was ''released elsewhere on April 23rd'' yet the US release date is listed as May 1st, that needs fixing. - [[User:MTC|MTC]] 14:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Question ==

Probably the wrong place to ask, but if I get my Pokémon above level 50 before getting the badge that lets you control level 70 Pokémon, will it still obey me?--[[User:ObsessedMinunFan|ObsessedMinunFan]] 19:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

: As long as they are ''your'' Pokémon and not traded. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

::Ah, ok. Thank you for clearing this up for me. I wish I'd have known it sooner, though, before I went though 15 minutes of utter frustration and yelling at my Pokémon when I fought [[Flannery]].--[[User:ObsessedMinunFan|ObsessedMinunFan]] 01:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Stub classification ==

Why is this article a stub? It's true that this game doesn't have information on it's plot or anything but most of it is repeated from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]. I noticed the same thing in regards to [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]] and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] too. What can be done to remove these articles of their stub-status without repeating almost all of the information from their respective prequels (i.e. [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] to Emerald)? [[User:Kochdude388|Kochdude388]] 00:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
:That's a good question, really. I think that what the goal should be for all of them is to elevate them to the same length and quality as that of the article on Diamond and Pearl. I think the most basic thing to de-stub-ize those articles would be to make sure that the length of the text is greater than that of the editbox. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 01:10, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

==Shinies==
Umm... This is probably a stupid question, but, are there any shinies in Emerald. [[User:GlalieGuy| Glalie ex]]
:Yes. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 21:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
----
...seriously, are there actual shiny animated sprites in Emerald's code or something? Because like.. I dunno, it's just weird that all of the sources I go to have 'Missing' or nothing in the shiny Emerald sprite section. :S [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 19:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I have seen some, such as the infamous shiny Rayquaza. I believe that these people are just like you, Tin, they believe that animated sprites are a pain in the neck to look at and they think "Who would want to use such asshole images anyway?" '''<sc>[[User:Optimus35|{{tt|Optimatum♏|Optimus35}}]]</sc>[[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|♊]]12:22 5 Apr 2008'''

Look at TTE's page, he cried over losing Hot Psycho and Sharking Shiny Scizor that ruined the game!--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]] 12:43, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

== Broken PRNG ==

Is this statement actually true? Is there any kind of proof that can approve this theory? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 15:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is true. Did you not see the link I included? Basically what it means is that if you restart the game (power off/on, not restart save) and move the same, you will encounter the same pokemon. If you really need more proof, I can get tsanth in here, and he can tell you so much about it that you'll wonder why you ever thought you knew Pokémon at all. Really though, just read the article- it says all you need to understand it. [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 19:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for clearing me up. Just another question though: is this some sort of bug or glitch or is it a decision that the developers came to to make things this way? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 10:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Well it's impossibly to know either way unless somebody asks, but given that every other game to date (including Diamond and Pearl) use proper seeding methods, I'd say it's safe to assume that they screwed up on it. [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 13:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Was this mentioned ==

In the mixing records room the panel are the same color as the first generation games did anyone mentioned that?--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 01:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gameplay changes ==
Unlike in Ruby and Sapphire one cannot trade non-native species into the game until the Pokédex is upgraded. At least in my experience. the game refuses to let me trade a totodile and Pidgy into the game in oldale town. I was able to do this in Ruby but not Emerald. -- [[User:D558|D558]] 05:22, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

== um... ==

I know u ppl usually want this kinda questions on teh forums, but I have no idea how to use them so please forgive me for posting it here, but I've heard something about a Pokémon Emerald remake. And hints like the new Pokéball pattern on the [[Poké Center]] floor being light green and every hoenn legendary has been available in someway as of Generation IV with the exception of {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} and they would appear if a emerald remake were made. is this true?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 04:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
:It hasn't been confirmed and I sincerely doubt it. I strongly encourage you to learn to use the forums. They aren't that hard, and they can be a lot of fun. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 04:49, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

ok, I'll see. thank you--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 05:43, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== Missing Pokémon? ==

All of this is incorect i have encountered and caught all this pokemon in emerald without trading.So whats it about?--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 12:06, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
:I highly doubt that. They are the [[version exclusive]] Pokémon for Emerald, just renamed as "missing Pokémon" because instead of being exclusive to that game (they are found in Ruby and Sapphire), they are missing from the game. Only Surskit can be caught in Emerald, after records have been mixed with one of the other games. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 12:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

== Missing Sprites ==
Kind of noticed lately, a lot of the Pokemon Emerald shiny sprites are missing. Not a problem, just kind of noticed. =C [[User:ShinyGlaceon|ShinyGlaceon]] 13:49, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
:We've noticed. They're kind of a pain to rip, it seems. And they're pretty hard to find. Bear with us here. ▫▪''[[User:Tina|Ťïňắ]]'' [[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|♥]] 16:23, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

== Can't read my game ==

Ok, I need help here. When I insert my Emerald into Slot 2 of my DS, one of four things happens: 1) my DS correctly interprets it as a GBA game but fails to interpret what game it is, 2) my DS can't read the game and says there is no GBA game, 3) my DS starts the game until the title screen, at which point it freezes, or 4) my DS interprets it as a DS Option Pak. I HAVE used a GameShark on it. Have I destroyed the game cart or something? [[User:Pokered4000|Pokered4000]] 03:50, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
:Quite probably. You'd probably get a better response for this if you ask in the Bulbagarden forums. Click the link on the sidebar and navigate to the appropriate forum. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:26, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== What's the fastest repeatable way to earn Pokedollars here? ==

On my VisualBoy Advance, I'd like to figure out how I can keep earning Pokedollars repeatedly? Since I have a speed-up button, the pace shouldn't be a problem.

Also, that money-making activity would be a nice tidbit to add to the article. Thanks. --[[User:Tanaka Shimoya|Tanaka Shimoya]] 11:21, 23 April 2011 (UTC)

== Are Surskit and Masquerain missing Pokémon? ==

Should be {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Masquerain}} removed from the Missing Pokémon list? They both appear in [[Swarms]], without trading from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]], so they are not technically Missing Pokémon. --[[User:JaVi|JaVi]] 15:37, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, Surskit doesn't appear unless you mix records with either Ruby or Sapphire. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 15:49, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

==Built on FR&LG?==

In the Trivia section, it is stated that Emerald was built on FireRed and LeafGreen. This is incorrect. I have looked extensively at the inner workings of R&S, FR&LG, and Emerald, and can confirm that Emerald's code is almost identical to that of R&S, with very few changes. The mechanics of FR&LG are completely different from the others by comparison. The "evidence" listed is simply a few small changes that were added to the R&S engine, and doesn't state anything about the game's code. Shall I update this section to correct this?

Pacter:

''New areas including the Safari Zone'' Huh? The Safari Zone was already there--or do you mean new areas *in* the Safari Zone?

I think whoever made this meant in the Safari zone. I'll edit it..[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 23:07, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

==Release Date==

The Article says Emerald was ''released elsewhere on April 23rd'' yet the US release date is listed as May 1st, that needs fixing. - [[User:MTC|MTC]] 14:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Question ==

Probably the wrong place to ask, but if I get my Pokémon above level 50 before getting the badge that lets you control level 70 Pokémon, will it still obey me?--[[User:ObsessedMinunFan|ObsessedMinunFan]] 19:51, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

: As long as they are ''your'' Pokémon and not traded. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:11, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

::Ah, ok. Thank you for clearing this up for me. I wish I'd have known it sooner, though, before I went though 15 minutes of utter frustration and yelling at my Pokémon when I fought [[Flannery]].--[[User:ObsessedMinunFan|ObsessedMinunFan]] 01:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

== Stub classification ==

Why is this article a stub? It's true that this game doesn't have information on it's plot or anything but most of it is repeated from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]]. I noticed the same thing in regards to [[Pokémon Yellow|Yellow]] and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]] too. What can be done to remove these articles of their stub-status without repeating almost all of the information from their respective prequels (i.e. [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]] to Emerald)? [[User:Kochdude388|Kochdude388]] 00:19, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
:That's a good question, really. I think that what the goal should be for all of them is to elevate them to the same length and quality as that of the article on Diamond and Pearl. I think the most basic thing to de-stub-ize those articles would be to make sure that the length of the text is greater than that of the editbox.

==Shinies==
Umm... This is probably a stupid question, but, are there any shinies in Emerald. [[User:GlalieGuy| Glalie ex]]
:Yes. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 21:17, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

...seriously, are there actual shiny animated sprites in Emerald's code or something? Because like.. I dunno, it's just weird that all of the sources I go to have 'Missing' or nothing in the shiny Emerald sprite section. :S [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 19:04, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:Well, I have seen some, such as the infamous shiny Rayquaza. I believe that these people are just like you, Tin, they believe that animated sprites are a pain in the neck to look at and they think "Who would want to use such asshole images anyway?"

== Broken PRNG ==

Is this statement actually true? Is there any kind of proof that can approve this theory? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 15:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is true. Did you not see the link I included? Basically what it means is that if you restart the game (power off/on, not restart save) and move the same, you will encounter the same pokemon. If you really need more proof, I can get tsanth in here, and he can tell you so much about it that you'll wonder why you ever thought you knew Pokémon at all. Really though, just read the article- it says all you need to understand it. [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 19:37, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for clearing me up. Just another question though: is this some sort of bug or glitch or is it a decision that the developers came to to make things this way? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 10:30, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Well it's impossibly to know either way unless somebody asks, but given that every other game to date (including Diamond and Pearl) use proper seeding methods, I'd say it's safe to assume that they screwed up on it. [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 13:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

== Was this mentioned ==

In the mixing records room the panel are the same color as the first generation games did anyone mentioned that?--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 01:11, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

== Gameplay changes ==
Unlike in Ruby and Sapphire one cannot trade non-native species into the game until the Pokédex is upgraded. At least in my experience. the game refuses to let me trade a totodile and Pidgy into the game in oldale town. I was able to do this in Ruby but not Emerald. -- [[User:D558|D558]] 05:22, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

== um... ==

I know u ppl usually want this kinda questions on teh forums, but I have no idea how to use them so please forgive me for posting it here, but I've heard something about a Pokémon Emerald remake. And hints like the new Pokéball pattern on the [[Poké Center]] floor being light green and every hoenn legendary has been available in someway as of Generation IV with the exception of {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} and they would appear if a emerald remake were made. is this true?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 04:22, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

== Missing Pokémon? ==

All of this is incorect i have encountered and caught all this pokemon in emerald without trading.So whats it about?--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 12:06, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
:I highly doubt that. They are the [[version exclusive]] Pokémon for Emerald, just renamed as "missing Pokémon" because instead of being exclusive to that game (they are found in Ruby and Sapphire), they are missing from the game. Only Surskit can be caught in Emerald, after records have been mixed with one of the other games. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 12:08, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
