'''Nintendo Switch Online''' (Japanese: '''Nintendo Switch Online''') is a service run by [[Nintendo]] that allows users to be matched up with other players and play games with each other, first launched on September 19, 2018. It is used by games for the [[Nintendo Switch]] family of systems and the [[Nintendo Switch 2]]. A successor to the [[Nintendo Network]] service, it is the first service by Nintendo that requires the user to pay a subscription fee in order to allow players to use online functionality with games, such as online multiplayer and user created content. The service also offers a selection of classic games to play, along with a selection of other benefits.

On October 25, 2021, the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack launched. This allows access to [[Nintendo 64]], {{wp|Sega Genesis}} and [[Game Boy Advance]] games, as well as access to the DLC for ''[[np:Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Happy Home Paradise|Animal Crossing: New Horizons]]'' for an additional fee. The ''{{smw|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass}}'' and ''{{ink|Splatoon 2}}'' ''{{ink|Octo Expansion}}'' DLC were added later on.

On June 5, 2025, the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrade packs of ''[[zw:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]'' and ''[[zw:The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition|The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom]]'' were added to the Expansion Pack, as well as access to select [[Nintendo GameCube]] games for Nintendo Switch 2 players.

==Cost==
Generally, a 7-day free trial can be used once for Nintendo Switch Online. After it expires, Nintendo occasionally restores access to the free trial to all players whose free trial has already expired. No free trial is offered for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack.

The service is officially available in 49 markets; All prices below are accurate as of November 18, 2025.

==Features==
===Friend Codes===
{{main|Friend Code}}
The Nintendo Switch Online service allocates a Friend Code to every user on the service, generated during the creation of the account. It is used to identify other players on online play along, albeit is not the only method unlike predecessors. This feature was also used for the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s online connectivity.

===Nintendo Classics===
Previous generations of Nintendo consoles have featured classic games via the [[Virtual Console]]. For the Nintendo Switch, this was replaced by apps for the console that included a growing library of NES and [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] games, exclusively available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, launched October 25, 2021, added apps for [[Nintendo 64]] and {{wp|Sega Genesis}} games (for an additional fee). Both tiers of the subscription received new apps on February 8, 2023: [[Game Boy]] (including [[Game Boy Color]]) for the base service and [[Game Boy Advance]] for the Expansion Pack.

As of the release of the [[Nintendo Switch 2]] on June 5, 2025, games from the [[Nintendo GameCube]] have also become available to anyone with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack and a Nintendo Switch 2 system. The service itself has also been rebranded into "''Nintendo Classics''", with each app receiving this rebranding as they receive new updates. All previous Nintendo Classics titles from Nintendo Switch are playable on Switch 2. On February 17, 2026, games from the {{wp|Virtual Boy}} became available to anyone with the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack on both the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.

:The ''Pokémon Stadium'' games and ''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'' cannot connect with core series Game Boy or Game Boy Advance titles or any of their rereleases on 3DS or Nintendo Switch systems, nor can they connect with [[Pokémon HOME]].

===Nintendo Music===
{{main|Nintendo Music}}
Launched on October 30, 2024, Nintendo Music is a music streaming app for Android and iOS that features songs from select Nintendo games. An active Nintendo Switch Online subscription is necessary to use it.

==Missions & Rewards==
Missions & Rewards were added on March 1st, 2022 within the Nintendo Switch Online app on the Nintendo Switch's HOME Menu. This feature gave Nintendo Switch Online subscribers a new method of earning Platinum Points (which previously could only be earned on the [[nw:My Nintendo|My Nintendo]] website) by completing missions, but also included a Rewards page where Platinum Points could be redeemed for exclusive icon elements for their Nintendo Switch profile. Rewards are only available for a limited-time distribution period; during this period, rewards will rotate on a weekly schedule. Previously available icon elements may become available once again at a later date.

There are three types of icon elements:
* Character elements, which cost [[File:My Nintendo Platinum Coin.png|20px|link=]] 10. Certain character elements come with a set background that cannot be changed, which prevents them from being used alongside background elements as well as the default Nintendo Switch background colors.
* Background elements, which cost [[File:My Nintendo Platinum Coin.png|20px|link=]] 5. Character elements appear in front of background elements. Background elements cannot be used without a character element.
* Frame elements, which cost [[File:My Nintendo Platinum Coin.png|20px|link=]] 5. Frame elements surround background and character elements. A selection of solid color frames are available by default and can be used alongside any icon element that was purchased with Platinum Points.

Icon elements cannot be used alongside other elements from different games. For example, a ''[[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]'' character element cannot be used together with a ''[[Detective Pikachu Returns]]'' background element. Icon elements can be redeemed in any region, with the exception of the ''[[wb:Mother 3|MOTHER3]]'' icon element set that was distributed from March 7, 2024 to March 13, 2024, which could only be redeemed by accounts that had their region set to Japan during the distribution period. Additionally, a new category of icon element called '''Play & Redeem''' was introduced on March 4, 2024, first used for the ''[[smw:Super Mario World|Super Mario World]]'' icon element set. Play & Redeem icon element sets require the user to play the corresponding software, sometimes on multiple days, in order to be eligible to redeem the icon elements.

===''Pokémon'' series icon elements===
{{missing image|needs=Images of icon parts for Pokémon Legends Z-A and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon}}
Character elements that were previously made available are marked with an asterisk (*). Icon elements not in rotation from November 25, 2024 onwards were not named within the application—unofficial names for those elements are used below for convenience.

Pokémon controversies

2025-09-24T18:41:59Z

PanchamBro: /* Media-specific controversies */ #cww

{{PA}}
There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.

==Animal cruelty==
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of {{B2W2}}, animal rights activist group {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals}} (PETA) released a mock game titled "Pokémon Black and Blue", in which the player controls battered and bruised Pokémon to attack human enemies. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into [[Poké Ball]]s is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."<ref>[http://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack Nintendo responds to PETA’s Pokemon attack | canada.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180911211240/https://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack archived copy] )</ref> Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called "Pokémon Red, White, and Blue" that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.

==Violence==
===Animation===
[[File:Gun.png|thumb|250px|[[Kaiser]] pointing his [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]] at {{Ash}}]]
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] allowed for some cartoon violence in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed to be "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
* ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slapping {{Ash}} after he tells her he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'': Misty slapping Ash again due to his recklessness in sending out {{AP|Caterpie}} to battle a {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.
* ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty smashing {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "To be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
* [[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden [[Kaiser]] repeatedly threatening Ash and the group with a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]], and also firing at {{TRT}} when they trespass onto the {{safari|Kanto}} grounds, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]] outside of Asia.
* ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'': Shots of Ash being struck by rapidly launched baseballs.
* ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'': There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping [[Jessie]]; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were deemed "too violent" and cut from the broadcast version and [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#Box sets|first US home video release]] and replaced with an impact animation. The version streamed on Pokémon TV and the [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#The Complete Collection|second US home video release]], however, leaves the shots in this episode intact.
* ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'': Two separate scenes showing [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s {{m|Ember}} attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hitting Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are intended for comic relief purposes. They are similar to scenes in Western animation such as ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Tom and Jerry}}'', where characters get hit by extremely heavy objects and are completely fine afterwards.

==Racism==
===Jynx===
[[File:124Jynx RG.png|thumb|left|x200px|{{p|Jynx}}'s original design]]
[[File:0124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Jynx}}'s current design]]
Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin, and oversized facial features, which were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in the children's book ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', as well as calling Jynx "a dead ringer for an obese {{wp|Drag Queen}}", and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and all episodes featuring Jynx's original design were cut from international airings of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, including a sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all versions of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the animated series starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US due to the implications of African American-esque characters being subservient to a powerful white figure. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version]], {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} also changed Jynx's color.

In later years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|gyaru}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of gyaru fashion, which was omnipresent in cities like Shibuya around the 1970s to 1990s. While some attribute it more specifically to {{wp|ganguro}}, this particular hypothesis at least has often been criticized due to the timeline of ganguro fashion not matching up with the development of [[Pokémon games]].<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref> Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. It has also been stated that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]</ref>

===Lenora===
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would allude Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy stereotype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is often depicted as a dark-skinned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{B2W2}}.

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Lenora}} is not depicted with an apron.
{{-}}

==Four-fingered hands==
In the first generation, many Pokémon were depicted with four fingers in their sprites and artwork. However, this kind of portrayal is considered taboo in Japan, as it resembles a practice associated with the {{wp|Yakuza}} called {{wp|yubitsume}}, where a member cuts off a finger to atone for a mistake. It also evokes associations with the {{wp|burakumin}}, a historically marginalized class often linked to occupations such as butchering or execution. Additionally, in {{wp|Sinosphere|Sinospheric cultures}}, the number {{wp|tetraphobia|four is considered unlucky}} because it sounds similar to the word for "death".

As a result, many Pokémon that were originally designed with four fingers later had one added or removed to give them three or five fingers instead. These Pokémon include {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Poliwrath}}, {{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Golem}}, {{p|Haunter}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, {{p|Magmar}}, and {{p|Snorlax}}. {{p|Poliwhirl}} also originally had four fingers, but instead of having one added or removed, it was later depicted with mitten-like gloves. The only Pokémon that still retains four fingers is {{p|Charmander}}, though this [[Charmander (Pokémon)#Design variations|differs between media]].

==Gambling==
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] in the Western release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors. Due to the unpredictable "risk-it-all" nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and associated games (such as slot machines or poker), with simulated gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny. As a result, the Pan-European Game Information ({{wp|PEGI}}) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited simulated gambling first to older-skewing video games, starting in 2009, then eventually to adult-oriented games, starting in 2020,<ref>[https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/09/01/new-pegi-rating-criteria-labels-all-games-that-teach-or-encourage-gambling-18 New PEGI rating criteria labels all games that teach or encourage gambling 18+ | Game World Observer]</ref> and all games released in Europe featuring simulated gambling mechanics have been rated accordingly. While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling mechanics in video games as socially unacceptable, leading to the Pokémon games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.

English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the Gambler Trainer class to "{{tc|PI|Gamer}}" and removed gambling references from their dialogue. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed the class once more to "{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}", though the references to gambling were kept.

In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many people find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, making Voltorb Flip the only way to obtain them.

With one exception, all [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} have not featured a Game Corner, remakes included. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls, originally obtained from an NPC inside the Game Corner. In {{LGPE}}, the [[Celadon Game Corner]] remains, due to its importance as the location of the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], but the slot machines have been replaced with non-playable arcade machines referencing other Pokémon games. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] was removed, and is replaced by the Metronome Style Shop, a clothing store that serves as a means for the player character to change outfits and hairstyles; though, a remix of the Veilstone Game Corner’s background music plays in the Style Shop.

In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, however, the Game Corner was left completely untouched, although the games did receive the higher-than-usual age rating of twelve and up by PEGI (compared to all other contemporary main-series titles, which PEGI gave a rating of seven and up).

There are other gambling-esque methods that exist in later games, such as the [[Loto-ID]], the [[Cram-o-matic]], and the [[Item Printer]]. However, these methods do not require any money to try out, and provide the player with items instead of money, the only luck-based factor being the rarity of the obtained item.

{{pkmn|Egg}}s in [[Pokémon GO]] have been accused of being {{wp|loot boxes}}, which is a form of gambling.<ref>https://screenrant.com/pokemon-go-eggs-loot-boxes-gambling-money-incubator/</ref>

In {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] was blocked for a while because it "promoted gambling and Zionism".{{fact}}

==Xenophobia==
===Latin American Spanish language announcement===
The [[Pokémon Presents]] broadcast on [[Pokémon Day]] 2025 announced the addition of {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} language support for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] and [[Pokémon Champions]]. This announcement caused significant backlash among {{pmin|Brazil}}ian Pokémon fans, who had been asking for Portuguese language support in the [[core series]] Pokémon games for over a decade. The first major campaign began around the release of Pokémon X and Y in 2013,<ref>[https://www.change.org/p/pok%C3%A9mon-x-e-y-em-portugu%C3%AAs Pokémon X and Y in Portuguese | Change.org]</ref> and a subsequent campaign following the announcement of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet in 2022 got international support, as well as from a few Brazilian celebrities.<ref>[https://ge.globo.com/esports/pokemon/noticia/2022/03/03/pokemon-em-portugues-juliette-e-casimiro-fazem-apelo-entenda.ghtml Pokémon in Portuguese support from celebrities and international community | ge]</ref> This campaign even reached the Top 10 trending topics on Twitter worldwide.<ref>[https://twitter.com/danielreen/status/1499066037614039042 Tweet on Pokémon in Portuguese campaign reaching Top 10 global Trending Topics]</ref> A few months later, TPCi released a statement in both Brazilian Portuguese<ref>[https://www.nintendoblast.com.br/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-comenta-localizacao-em-portugues-em-pokemon-scarlet-violet-switch.html The Pokémon Company International responds about Portuguese localization in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet | Nintendo Blast]</ref> and Latin American Spanish,<ref>[https://www.anmtvla.com/2022/04/the-pokemon-company-rompe-el-silencio.html The Pokémon Company International responds about Latin American Spanish localization in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet | ANMTV]</ref> which had a similar campaign going on at around the same time, announcing they were planning on the right time to add language support in Latin America, leading fans to believe both languages would be added together in a future game.

The announcement videos in this segment of Pokémon Presents prominently featured footage from the 2025 Latin America {{DL|Play! Pokémon|International Championships}} held in São Paulo, Brazil. These videos showcased many Brazilians, including the {{wp|Vai-Vai}} samba school, which performed at the event's opening, and employees from {{wp|Copag}}, the official distributor and event organizer for the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in Brazil. Several posters and products in Brazilian Portuguese were also featured.<ref>[https://x.com/Reenlsober/status/1895245034762715580 Tweet complaining about Portuguese text at a Brazilian event while promoting Latin American Spanish support]</ref> This was also the first time a Pokémon Presents was localized to Brazilian Portuguese. Despite all of this, there was no mention of Brazil or Portuguese language support. Tomás Cortijo, the presenter for the segment, emphasized that millions of fans would now enjoy the games in their native language and that it's the perfect time to be a Pokémon fan regardless of where you are, including Latin America, seemingly ignoring the fact that this region is composed of approximately 30% Brazilians,<ref>[https://censo2022.ibge.gov.br/panorama/ Population of Brazil according to the 2022 Census | IBGE]</ref><ref>[https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/latin-america-and-the-caribbean-population/ Population of Latin America | Worldometer]</ref> who still lack proper language support in the core series games.

The way the announcement was presented led to widespread frustration among fans and even Pokémon and Nintendo content creators from Brazil, some of them believing this to be an act of xenophobia due to using Brazilians as justification for the inclusion of a foreign language not spoken in Brazil.<ref>[https://twitter.com/pipoolimpio/status/1895595386787795411 Tweet about xenophobia on Pokémon Presents]</ref> This dissatisfaction became the most discussed topic on Pokémon's social media platforms in the country, with many fans expressing their frustration over the omission of Portuguese. Some fans even took more extreme measures, targeting Cortijo's social media accounts,<ref>[https://twitter.com/rodrigocoelhoc/status/1895143683088855469 Tweet about targeting Tomás Cortijo personal accounts]</ref> which led him to set his Instagram account to private and remove several comments from his LinkedIn posts in response to the backlash he was receiving. Unlike their Latin American Spanish counterpart, Nintendo Brazil did not issue any official posts about the Pokémon Presents, despite both usually posting similar content at the same time, suggesting that they were aware of the backlash.

The discontentment got worse on March 1, 2025, when the prices of all Pokémon games on the Nintendo Switch increased by 17% on the Brazilian Nintendo eShop.<ref>[https://universonintendo.com/brasil-nintendo-eleva-preco-de-jogos-digitais-em-gift-cards-preco-antigo-ainda-esta-disponivel-na-eshop/ Nintendo raises prices of its digital games published in Brazil | Universo Nintendo]</ref> This further decreased the accessibility of Pokémon core series games in the country, which was already limited by the lack of Portuguese language support.

==Religion==
===Christianity===
====Satanism====
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized list of claims:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.<ref name="SToP">[http://www.withoneaccord.org/assets/images/freedownloads/StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf Straight Talk on Pokemon - StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf]</ref><ref>[https://gizmodo.com/isis-will-use-pokemon-go-to-murder-innocent-christians-1783680507 ISIS Will Use Pokémon Go to Murder Innocent Christians and Spawn Demons (Says Radio Host Pastor)]</ref>

*Pokémon [[Evolution]] has often been criticized due to sharing the name with the {{wp|Evolution|scientific theory of evolution}} which fundamentalist creationists usually reject, although the phenomenon in Pokémon is closer to insect {{wp|metamorphosis}} or mammalian puberty.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7bsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y - Adam Possamai - Google Books]</ref>
**Certain Pokémon Evolutions require [[Evolution stone]]s, which are often seen as magical.<ref name="SToP" />
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s and {{type|Ghost}}s.<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/games/2000/pokemon.html POKÉMON | a game review from Christian Spotlight]</ref><ref>[https://www.probe.org/pokemon/ Pokemon - A Christian Assessment]</ref><ref>[http://www1.cbn.com/onlinediscipleship/pok%26eacute%3Bmon%2C-harry-potter%2C-and-the-magic-of-story Pokémon, Harry Potter, and the Magic of Story | CBN.com]</ref>
*Many Pokémon inherently involve East Asian spiritualism or mysticism, due to the franchise originating in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.<ref>[http://wildhunt.org/2016/07/pokemon-and-the-great-occult-scare.html Pokémon and the Great Occult Scare | The Wild Hunt]</ref><ref>[http://sureword.faithweb.com/pokemon.html Pokemon - Just Another Fad?]</ref>

*Pokémon causes homosexuality; the close relationship between the characters Ash and Brock was "a sign of the cartoon’s gay agenda".<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2015/04/televangelist-creflo-dollar-claims-pokemon-causes-homosexuality/ Televangelist Creflo Dollar claims Pokemon causes homosexuality]</ref><ref>[http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php GayNZ.com Pokemon 'turned teens gay' - preacher] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150709051450/http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php archived copy])</ref>

In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref>

===Islam===
[[File:Egyptian Newspaper Poké-fatwa smear-campaign.jpg|200x200px|thumb|The Poké-fatwa smear campaign reaching the headline page of an Egyptian newspaper on April 15, 2001. Title reads: It is forbidden for Muslims to interact with the Pokémon game.]]

On March 15, 2001, an anonymous user online claiming to be located in {{wp|Qatif}}, {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, posted a forum thread on the then big Arabic message-board site '''Montada''', making questionable claims of the [[Pokémon]] franchise being tied to {{wp|Darwinism}}, {{wp|Zionism}}, and {{wp|Satanism}}.

The post contained the following fabricated evidence of the character's names having anti-Islamic meanings and Zionist undertones when translated in English:
* [[Pokémon]] meaning '''I am a Jew'''.
* {{p|Pikachu}} meaning '''Be a Jew'''.
* {{p|Charmander}} meaning '''God is weak'''.
* {{p|Magikarp}} (misspelled as ''{{p|Magmar}}'') meaning '''God is stupid'''.
* {{p|Growlithe}} meaning '''God is lazy'''.

The following months would see those questionable claims get spread around by either word-of-mouth or anonymous printings of those very misleading rumors that originated off of that forum, which spiraled into a perplexing social smear campaign movement that succeeded in convincing a number of Arabic nations to outright ban and limit the presence of the Pokémon franchise, such as in {{wp|Egypt}}, where Mufti ''Nasser Fareed Wasel'' declared a ban on remotely interacting with any of its content on April 6, 2001.

Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy intended to get Muslim children to renounce their faith.<ref>[http://www.cairoscene.com/LifeStyle/10-Egyptian-Conspiracy-Theories 10 Egyptian Conspiracy Theories]</ref><ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/apr/24/news/mn-54861 Arabs See Jewish Conspiracy in Pokemon - latimes]</ref><ref>[http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html ADL denounces claim by Muslim leaders that Pokemon game is “Jewish Conspiracy" - Press Release] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160724034549/http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saddam-hussein-tried-ban-pokemon-7732176 Saddam Hussein tried to ban POKEMON in Iraq for an utterly bizarre reason - Mirror Online]</ref> These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691674/Saudi-Arabia-fatwa-Pokemon-GO-un-islamic-blasphemous-theory-of-natural-evolution Saudi Arabia issues fatwa against POKÉMON for being ‘un-Islamic’ and ‘blasphemous' | World | News | Express.co.uk]</ref><ref>[https://www.memri.org/tv/dubai-family-consultant-dr-khalifa-al-makhrazi-pok%C3%A9mon-go-prohibited-spreads-darwinism Dubai Family Consultant Dr. Khalifa Al-Makhrazi: Pokemon Go Is Prohibited, Spreads Darwinism | MEMRI]</ref><ref>[http://www.alifta.net/Fatawa/FatawaChapters.aspx?languagename=en&View=Page&PageID=10338&PageNo=1&BookID=7 Fatwas of the Permanent Committee]</ref>

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref>

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}}, reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

====Animation====
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involved [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. It was edited out in the English dub of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, with the Grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

====Koga's Ninja Trick====
In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} took issue with [[Nintendo]]'s use of a ''manji'' ({{wp|swastika}}) in the original Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} from Challenge from the Darkness, because of the symbol's strong association with the German Nazi Party insignia in the {{wp|Western world}}, which they appropriated from the manji in 1920.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickSwastikaOrigin>[https://archive.is/Klauq Article from the Holocaust Encylopedia about the history of the Swastika.]</ref> This was a sentiment echoed by Jewish parent Myla Specht, who said "We thought there had to be something we could do because it can be terrible for children."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS>[https://archive.is/M25KR Article quoting the situation with Koga's Ninja Trick in the United States.]</ref>

<gallery>
KogaNinjaTrickChallengeFromTheDarkness.png|Original Japanese print

</gallery>

Response to criticism was mixed. Nintendo of America announced that the card featuring the artwork was to be discontinued in all territories<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> even though no English copies of the cards were printed, as the complaints originated from American children receiving the card in imported packs. They also recognized that there was no ill-intent behind the manji's inclusion from "the card's Japanese creators",<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> though the original illustrator, [[Sumiyoshi Kizuki]], has never publicly commented on the topic.

Kenneth Jacobson, a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League, recognized Nintendo's sensitivity to the feelings of Jews and others to whom the swastika may offend. Conversely, Steve Weisman, who was upset after hearing that ten-year-old children were finding the cards from imported packs, said that Nintendo should do more, saying "maybe [including] a contribution to a Holocaust group. The whole premise of the game is kids having fun. This reminded people of 6 million deaths."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> Larry Rosensweig, a Jewish director at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, claimed that opposition to the manji symbol was "misplaced indignation", bringing up the fact that the manji had "been used throughout Asia for thousands of years and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazis or anti-Semitism", saying "there are plenty of things out there that people should be offended about."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref>

In the resale market, the original print of Koga's Ninja Trick featuring the manji is often over twenty times more valuable when compared to its reprinted counterpart, even in Japanese markets.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickPrice>[https://archive.is/4p4V6 Tweet showing a 20x price difference between both prints of Koga's Ninja Trick.]</ref> Other cards that directly reference Nazism, such as {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Secret Mission|118}}, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], which features the real-life map of German-occupied Poland during World War II, have not been changed in a similar manner, despite the sensitive subject material.

====Registeel====
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the player shows the [[Yuichi Ueda|Game Director]] at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, he gives them the [[Diploma|Time Travel Award]], featuring the Pokémon's original sprite from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Prior to v1.1.3, this award would use the original Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprite for Registeel, although this award was not obtainable until [[Pokémon HOME]] support was added in v1.1.3 anyway; in v1.1.3, Registeel's sprite was replaced with the revised sprite used in Pokémon Platinum.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1473462097489104902</ref>

==Media-specific controversies==
===Pokémon Shock incident===
[[EP038|An episode]] of {{aniseries|PTS}} broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas and never shown in Japan again}}, and the incident caused the {{pkmn|animated series}} to go into a temporary hiatus. Every Pokémon episode that aired until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except for when the next episode preview for [[EP037]] was mistakenly retained on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. For this, Pokémon currently holds the {{wp|Guinness World Records|Guinness Book World Record}} for the most photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by a TV show.

===Pokémon GO===
The sudden enormous popularity of [[Pokémon GO]] resulted in many controversies worldwide. Numerous organizations and companies complained about the spawning of Pokémon at places such as Holocaust and 9/11 memorials,<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2016/07/12/holocaust-museum-auschwitz-want-pokmon-go-hunts-stop-pokmon/86991810/ Holocaust Museum, Auschwitz want Pokémon Go hunts out]</ref><ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-07-12-holocaust-museum-pleads-stop-playing-pokemon-go-here Holocaust museum pleads: stop playing Pokémon Go here • Eurogamer.net]</ref> train rails,<ref>[http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/pokemon-go-dutch-rail-operator-tells-nintendo-change-game-after-players-wonder-onto-tracks-1570308 Pokemon Go players told to stay away from Amsterdam hospital and rail tracks]</ref> and while driving a car.<ref>[http://fortune.com/2016/09/18/pokemon-go-players-driving/ Tens of Thousands of People Are Driving While Playing Pokémon GO | Fortune]</ref> Several people worldwide have been killed or seriously injured in accidents related to playing the game.<ref>[http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-pokemon-go-encinitas-cliff-fall-2016jul13-story.html ‘Pokémon Go’ players fall off 90-foot ocean bluff — The San Diego Union-Tribune]</ref><ref>[http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3699722/Pokemon-sees-death-Teenager-18-killed-cousin-injured-playing-game-Guatamala.html Pokemon Go player killed in Guatemala and cousin injured while playing game | Daily Mail Online]</ref><ref>[https://www.theverge.com/2016/8/25/12637878/pokemon-go-driver-kills-woman-japan Driver distracted by Pokémon Go kills woman in Japan — The Verge]</ref>

===Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex===
During the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} 2019 Nintendo Treehouse live stream on June 11, 2019,<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmWu-f6L0Mo Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2019] - Youtube</ref> [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (455 in total across [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}) could not be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}}. After a massive amount of backlash from Pokémon fans (most of which involving the {{wp|hashtag}} #BringBackNationalDex), [[The Pokémon Company International]] posted a statement from Masuda in response on [[Pokémon.com]] in Japanese and English on June 28, 2019.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/a-message-for-pokemon-video-game-fans/ A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans] - Pokémon.com</ref> Despite this reiterated statement, the fan backlash on social media continued, with many fans requesting that compatibility for all Pokémon be included in a post-launch patch. When asked about the possibility of a patch, Masuda stated that he had not yet finalized a decision on such a patch. The controversy became somewhat mitigated when the Expansion Pass was announced for the games, which added 221 of the missing Pokémon back in.

This controversy is sometimes known as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Dexit}}, a portmanteau of [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}}, which was the withdrawal of the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) from the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Pokémon UNITE===
When [[Pokémon UNITE]] was first announced, it quickly attracted controversy due to it being developed by a subsidiary of {{wp|Tencent}}, which was controversial due to its ties to the Chinese government. It also brought up a controversy that had been steadily growing about the use of {{wp|microtransactions}} in Pokémon games. As a result of these controversies, the Pokémon UNITE reveal quickly became the most disliked video on [[The Pokémon Company]]'s [[YouTube]] channel.<ref>Oloman, Jordan (June 25, 2020).

===Palworld===
{{neutrality|section}}
[[File:Palworld.png|250px|thumb|The v0.1.0.0 title screen of Palworld]]
{{wp|Palworld}} is a video game published by {{wp|Pocketpair}}, released in early access on January 19, 2024 for {{wp|Xbox Game Pass}} and {{wp|Steam}}. Within its first week, the game sold over eight million copies on Steam,<ref name=PalworldSales>[https://archive.is/bIHxn Palworld tweet claiming Palworld has sold over 8 million copies in less than six days.]</ref> surpassing the initial sales of [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<ref name=LASales>[https://archive.is/Pimvb Nintendo of America tweet claiming Pokémon Legends Arceus sold 6.5 million in its first week.]</ref> Palworld has frequently been compared to the [[Pokémon]] series due to its open-world monster-catching mechanics and action-oriented gameplay.<ref name=PalworldLA>Tweets of users comparing Palworld and Pokémon Legends: Arceus.

====Comparisons to Pokémon====
Palworld received criticism from social media users drawing comparisons between Palworld and Pokémon's aesthetic, especially in regards to its roster of 111 "Pal" creatures at the time of its early access release.<ref name=111ListComparisons>[https://archive.is/F66QC Thread by Cecilia Fae comparing the list of "Pals" in Palworld to Pokémon designs]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/361Sg Post by Acerola_t about Palworld's impact on the larger industry as a whole, referring to it as an "asset flip game".]</ref> Some influencers defended Palworld, which was followed by debate over the title's impact on the artists behind the Pokémon series.<ref name=>[https://archive.is/MzpQu A thread criticizing Twitch streamer Asmongold for his opinions on AI generated artwork and the artists behind both Palworld and the Pokémon series.]</ref>

Several users pointed out similarities between the Pal models found in Palworld and the Pokémon models from games such as {{g|Sun and Moon}}. In particular, the Pal "Azurobe" was compared to {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Primarina}}.<ref name=PalworldAzurobe>[https://archive.is/zEcmm Comparison made between Palworld's "Azurobe" and Pokémon such as Serperior and Primarina.]</ref> One user comparing the models was accused of fabricating evidence due to uniformly scaling the model to make the comparison easier to see within a 3D modeling program,<ref name=PalworldAzurobeFabrication>[https://archive.is/PghBU A thread accusing the fabrication of evidence due to uniformly scaling "Azurobe" and "Serperior"'s models to be the same size.]</ref> though this accusation was disputed by others who clarified that uniformly scaling a model would not alter its mesh.<ref name=PalworldModelScale>[https://archive.is/9OMLq Post responding to those accusing fabrication by uniform model scaling.]</ref> A post also claimed that Azurobe and Serperior shared certain bone chains in equal number, and using a program to move them to match the same positions resulted in a near-identical topology.<ref name=PalworldModelTopology>[https://archive.is/VEJtH Post pointing out the identical amount of bone chains between Serperior and Azurobe.]</ref>

Pals that are currently unobtainable in the game, such as "Boltmane" and "Dark Mutant", were also compared to existing Pokémon, such as {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Mewtwo|Mega Mewtwo Y}}.<ref name=PalworldBoltmane>[https://archive.is/GyJvO A page on the Pal "Boltmane", who appears similar to Luxray]</ref><ref name=PalworldDarkMutant>[https://archive.is/wip/jrVZP A post about the pal "Dark Mutant", who appears similar to Mega Mewtwo Y.]</ref>

The release of Palworld was also met with further controversy surrounding recent entries in the Pokémon series such as {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, which was frequently compared to the game, particularly regarding its visuals,<ref name=>[https://archive.is/geCqM Tweet from company OperaGX comparing the visuals of Palworld and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.]</ref> with some arguing that Palworld's sudden success could prompt better game design from [[Game Freak]] through competition in the monster collection space.<ref name=>[https://archive.is/NSKoe Post by InfernoOmni arguing that Pokémon fans should want Palworld to be successful in order encourage Game Freak to improve the quality of their games]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/Mxmjb Post from YourRAGE about the "sickening" response that Pokémon fans have to modern Pokémon releases.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/wip/kClAL Post from The Act Man about hopes for Palworld's success to push Game Freak to release games that aren't a "complete embarrassment"]</ref>

Some content creators defended Palworld, claiming it was intentionally a parody of Pokémon.<ref name=>[https://youtu.be/JxN2nnlI4-0?t=1482 Video by InfernoOmni claiming Palworld is a parody.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/arjhw Post from a user claiming that Palworld's designs are an intentional parody of Pokémon's.]</ref><ref name=>[https://archive.is/VYwVr Post from YouTuber YourMovieSucks about confusion surrounding the plagiarism accusations and that Fair Use would protect the game from any legal trouble]</ref> Some argued that this constitutes {{wp|fair use}}; however, the doctrine does not apply in Japanese law.

====Industry reactions and legal scrutiny====
In an interview with Automaton Media, Mizobe mentioned that Palworld cleared legal reviews prior to its release with no objections<ref name=PalworldLegalReviews>[https://archive.is/m2mCu Interview between Palworld director Takuro Mizobe and Automaton about the game's legal reviews.]</ref> and that Palworld was not at all similar to Pokémon. Despite this, in a different interview with the same publication, Mizobe noted that the developers directly referenced Pokémon as a "great predecessor", further stating that he was impressed by games like Pokémon Legends: Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.<ref name=PalworldGreatPredecessor>[https://archive.is/tPIgh Interview between Palworld director Takuro Mizobe and Automaton about the game's relation to Pokémon]</ref>

The controversy was commented on by various professionals from the video game industry. VGC spoke to two anonymous AAA game artists claiming that the model comparisons done by other users indicated a potential legal battle between the companies that own the rights to Pokémon against Pocketpair, with a senior character artist adding that they would "stand in court to testify as an expert on this."<ref name=PalworldPlagiarismAccusations>[https://archive.is/hidNJ Interview by VGC talking about Palworld's plagiarism accusations]</ref>

{{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}} and {{wp|Monster Crown}} designer [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=68358 Saiko Takaki] wrote a thread commenting on the history of Pokémon plagiarism, where she claimed that her work on Telefang was designed to not be similar to Pokémon's, with Palworld's designs "clearly adding or subtracting" from existing ones, though noted that she had no comments to make on the actual gameplay, saying it "seemed fun, which is a shame."<ref name=SaikoTakaki>[https://archive.is/jEHdh Thread by Telefang and Monster Crown designer Saiko Takaki discussing Palworld.]</ref>

[[The Pokémon Company International]]'s Ex-Chief Legal Officer [[Dan McGowan]], who was the head of the company's legal team between 2008 to 2020, told ''GamesRadar'' that he was "surprised it got this far", and that it "looks like the usual ripoff nonsense that [he] would see a thousand times a year".<ref name=PalworldExTPCLegalOfficer>[https://archive.is/pEm7N Interview between ex-Pokémon CLO Dan McGowan and GamesRadar.]</ref>

On January 22, Mizobe claimed that the team behind Palworld were receiving threats of violence and claims of slander, calling for people to stop.<ref name=PalworldThreats>[https://archive.is/Ofa7Q Palworld director Takuro Mizobe's claims that the team were receiving threats of violence and slanderous claims.]</ref>

On February 1, Japanese {{wp|tabloid}} magazine ''{{wp|Tokyo Sports}}'' received an alleged tip stating that professionals in the Japanese entertainment industry were actively told to not associate with Palworld.<ref name=PalworldTokyoSports>[https://archive.is/E7V9U Article from Japanese tabloid magazine ''Tokyo Sports.'']</ref> An anonymous senior executive told ''Tokyo Sports'' that they have told their talent "not to mention Palworld on SNS or in public" out of the concern that it could impact future collaborations with the Pokémon brand.

On the morning of January 25, The Pokémon Company issued an official statement on their website<ref name=ThePokémonCompanyPalworldStatement>[https://archive.is/oT1L6 Post on The Pokémon Company website regarding Palworld.]</ref> in both Japanese and English, which read as the following:

<blockquote>
'''''Inquiries Regarding Other Companies' Games'''''

''"We have received many inquiries regarding another company's game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future."''

''The Pokémon Company''
</blockquote>

On February 6, during [[Nintendo]]'s review of the previous fiscal year, company president [[Shuntaro Furukawa]] directly mentioned Pocketpair, Palworld, and the game's similarity to the Pokémon series, stating, "We will take appropriate action against those that infringe on our intellectual property rights."<ref name=FurukawaPalworld>[https://archive.is/uvDiD Article reporting on Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa's statements regarding Pocketpair and Palworld.]</ref>

====Patent lawsuit====
On September 19, Nintendo, together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against creator Pocketpair at the Tokyo District Court, seeking an "injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that Palworld, a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights".<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights against Pocketpair, Inc. - Nintendo Co.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket plagiarism accusation===
On July 29, 2025, cards from the then-upcoming [[Wisdom of Sea and Sky (TCG Pocket)|Wisdom of Sea and Sky]] set for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] were datamined from the game's files ahead of the set's official release. Shortly thereafter, Twitter user @lanjiujiu observed that the leaked [[Immersive card (TCG Pocket)|immersive]] print of {{TCG ID|Wisdom of Sea and Sky|Ho-Oh ex|34}}, illustrated by [[SIE NANAHARA]], appeared to be traced directly from fan art they had made nearly four years prior.<ref>[https://archive.is/7yqLo @lanjiujiu on Twitter] (archived from the original July 29, 2025; retrieved July 31, 2025)</ref>

Almost exactly 24 hours after this post, a statement was issued by the development team.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/notice-regarding-new-illustrations Notice Regarding New Illustrations | Pokemon.com]</ref> In it, they confirm that "the card production team provided incorrect materials as official documents to the illustrator" during the creation of both the immersive print of Ho-Oh ex, as well as the creation of the immersive print of {{TCG ID|Wisdom of Sea and Sky|Lugia ex|149}}. As a result, the artwork intended for both of these cards were substituted with placeholder images before the set's official release, which will then be replaced with new artwork when available. Additionally, the team pledged to conduct "a broader investigation to ensure no similar issues exist elsewhere in the game," and to "[strengthen their] quality control processes to prevent this from happening again."

On the morning of July 31, 2025, another statement was issued by the development team, writing that they've since become aware of criticism levied at the illustrator, and clarifying that [[Creatures, Inc.]] and [[The Pokémon Company]] provided references that were not official and that any responsibility for the situation lies with them.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP_JP/status/1950874266016354333 Request regarding Ho-Oh ex (★3), Lugia ex (★3)]</ref> They further explain that with certain illustrations, the artist will occasionally be asked to trace concept sketches created by the card production team, and that the illustrator was simply abiding by this request. The statement ends with a request to refrain from criticizing or slandering SIE NANAHARA, and a reiterated promise to strengthen their quality control processes.

On August 8, 2025, updated artwork and animations for Ho-oh ex and Lugia ex's immersive prints were released, once again illustrated by SIE NANAHARA.<ref>[https://twitter.com/PokemonTCGP/status/1953683542182924568 @PokemonTCGP on Twitter]</ref>

=== US Department of Homeland Security social media video ===
On September 23, 2025, the {{wp|Second presidency of Donald Trump|Trump-led}} {{wp|United States Department of Homeland Security}} posted a video with the caption "Gotta Catch ‘Em All" on their social media platforms. It showed a series of raids and arrests intermittent with footage of [[Ash Ketchum]], and featuring mugshots of suspects edited to be Pokémon cards, all set to the [[Pokémon Theme]] song.<ref name="DHSPokemon">[https://www.polygon.com/pokemon-ice-dhs-nintendo/ 'Gotta catch 'em all': The US government is now using Pokémon to promote ICE raids]</ref>

The video has received widespread criticism, with many fans asking Nintendo and The Pokémon Company to take action. In response, The Pokémon Company told Polygon and Eurogamer:

<blockquote>
''"We are aware of a recent video posted by the Department of Homeland Security that includes imagery and language associated with our brand. Our company was not involved in the creation or distribution of this content, and permission was not granted for the use of our intellectual property.

</blockquote>

No legal action has been taken by The Pokémon Company as of yet, though former Pokémon legal chief Don McGowan believes that the company will do nothing in response to protect its brand image and avoid deportation of its executives.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/fans-want-pokmon-to-sue-after-department-of-homeland-security-video-uses-ash-ketchum-to-promote-ice-but-the-companys-former-legal-boss-says-he-wouldnt-touch-this Fans Want Pokémon to Sue After Department of Homeland Security Video Uses Ash Ketchum to Promote ICE — But The Company's Former Legal Boss Says He 'Wouldn't Touch This']</ref>

==Legal issues==
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]], [[The Pokémon Company]], and related entities regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
[[File:DarkKadabraTeamRocket39.jpg|thumb|200px|Dark Kadabra TCG card]]
Israeli magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, known for his attribution of his spoon-bending tricks to alleged {{wp|psychic}} abilities, sued Nintendo, alleging that {{p|Kadabra}} (known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan) was an unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Besides Kadabra's use of [[Twisted Spoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). In particular, he took issue with Kadabra cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], especially the existence of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Kadabra|39}} (named "Evil Yungerer" in Japanese). Geller, who is Jewish, additionally argued that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} due to the five-pointed star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}.<ref name="BBC"/> He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image."<ref name="BBC"/> The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930s, and Geller has personally used in some of his magic tricks.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbI8i17COJQ&t=341 The Man Who Stopped Game Freak from Using Kadabra - Uri Geller | Save Data | YouTube]</ref>

Geller told news outlets that he first became aware of Kadabra and its similarities to him while he was Christmas shopping at a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store in Japan. According to Geller, the store manager "rushed out from his office continuously bowing," followed by "hundreds of children [thrusting] Pokemon cards at him to autograph while chanting what sounded like Uri Geller."<ref name="Guardian"/>

In December 1999, he told news outlets that he was planning to sue Nintendo. Geller retained lawyers in Tokyo and the United States, and told news outlets that he was pursuing legal action in "Europe, America, Latin America and Australasia". In the US, his lawyer said they were planning to sue for US$100 million. When reached for comment, Nintendo in Japan told news outlets they had not yet received the lawsuit.<ref name="Guardian">[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian] ([https://archive.today/XkBzu archived copy])</ref> Nintendo told news outlets "None of the Pokémon characters is given a name based on the image of any particular person".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070224021819/http://news.zdnet.co.uk/emergingtech/0,1000000183,2076058,00.htm Uri Geller sues Pokemon | ZDnet]</ref> When VICE investigated the case in 2018, they were unable to find any evidence of Geller ever filing a lawsuit in Japan, although they were unable to contact the Japanese lawyer who Geller had retained.<ref name="VICE">[https://www.vice.com/de/article/pa947m/uri-gellers-kampf-gegen-pokemon-kadabra-nintendo Uri Geller vs. Kadabra: Die bizarre Geschichte hinter der verschwundenen Pokémon-Karte | VICE] (in German)</ref>

In November 2000, it was reported that Geller had begun legal action against Nintendo in Los Angeles federal court, for using his likeness (Kadabra) on Pokémon cards without authorization. It was reported that his lawsuit alleged he should receive substantial damages and that Nintendo cease producing cards containing his likeness.<ref name="BBC">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref> When VICE researched the case in 2018, they were only able to find documents filed from 2001 to 2003.<ref name="VICE"/>

In 2001, Geller, along with Liechtenstein company Sambracal AG (who own the rights to Geller's name and likeness), sued Nintendo, arguing that the use of his likeness in Kadabra violated his rights under California's privacy laws. However, the judge ruled that as he was not a citizen or resident of the United States (he is a citizen of Israel and the United Kingdom who lived in the United Kingdom at the time), he was not eligible for protection under these privacy laws, so he could only sue under privacy laws in the United Kingdom, but no such laws existed that would protect him in this case; that part of the case was dismissed on August 16, 2001, but Geller continued to sue arguing that the cards violated the trademark rights to his own name. In November 2002, a judge dismissed Geller's trademark claims against Nintendo of America, ruling that there was insufficient evidence that Nintendo of America was involved in the distribution of Japanese language Kadabra cards in the United States (since only the Japanese language cards bore a similarity to Geller's name); since the Japanese language cards were only intended to be distributed in Japan, only Japanese trademark law could be applied, but Geller did not own a trademark on his name in Japan. On March 3, 2003, Geller's lawsuit was dismissed by the judge.<ref name="VICE"/>

Despite Geller losing his lawsuit, it seemed to have a {{wp|chilling effect}} on the usage of Kadabra in official Pokémon media. From 2003 to 2022, there were no new Kadabra cards released in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with the last Kadabra card to be printed before the drought being in {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003. Kadabra had not appeared in the [[Pokémon animated series]] since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' in 2006. In a July 2008 interview with [[PokéBeach]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] stated that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref>

{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the lack of Kadabra cards. In matches that prevent the use of older cards, this made it impossible to play Alakazam without using cards that allow Alakazam to be played directly without evolving it from Kadabra, such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}}. The only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released between {{TCG|Skyridge}} and 2023, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any {{TCG|Alakazam}} cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that did not need to evolve from anything.

On November 27, 2020, The Gamer published an article about the history of Geller and Kadabra.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/kadabra-pokemon-card/ Why There Hasn’t Been A Kadabra Pokemon Card For Almost 20 Years | The Gamer]</ref> The following day, after being contacted by a reader of The Gamer's article,<ref>[https://twitter.com/BristolBeadz/status/1332954024245678082 Tweet from the author of The Gamer's first article]</ref> Geller reached out to The Gamer, telling them that he had sent a letter to "the chairman of Nintendo giving them permission to relaunch the Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller worldwide", which they published in a follow-up article.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/uri-geller-nintendo-permission-kadabra-pokemon-cards/ Uri Geller Gives Nintendo Permission To Print Kadabra On Pokemon Cards Again | The Gamer]</ref> The next day, Geller tweeted that he was sorry about "what [he] did 20 years ago", and that he was rescinding the ban; the tweet included an image of The Gamer's second article and a link to his personal museum,<ref>[https://twitter.com/theurigeller/status/1332794451727691777 Uri Geller's tweet]</ref> which at the time was scheduled to open in December 2020 after its opening had been postponed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201129015756/https://urigellermuseum.com/ Uri Geller Museum website] (archive)</ref>

In 2021, Kadabra made its first appearance in {{pkmn|animation}} since 2006 in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'' (debuting December 16, 2021). The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card printed since Skyridge is included in the {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset in Japan (released June 16, 2023) and its counterpart {{TCG|151}} expansion in English (released September 22, 2023).

===Power Bouncer suffocation incident===
In January 1999, a 7-year-old boy suffocated to death after a Pokémon [[Power Bouncer]] ball became lodged in his throat while playing with it. After his death, his parents created a website named "Pokémon Kills", criticizing Hasbro and Pokémon for not taking appropriate safety measures in their product design.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20000511143552/http://www.pokemonkills.com/ Pokémon Kills]</ref> In November 1999, the boy's parents filed a lawsuit against Hasbro and Toys "R" Us.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html Parents of Boy Who Choked to Death on Pokemon Ball File Suit | New York Times] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20230924103450/https://www.nytimes.com/1999/11/13/nyregion/parents-of-boy-who-choked-to-death-on-pokemon-ball-file-suit.html archive])</ref>

===Burger King toy suffocation incident===
In December 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After a child suffocated because she had covered her mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/581493.stm BBC News | AMERICAS | Burger King in Pokemon recall] ([https://archive.today/pffGd archived copy])</ref>

===Other lawsuits===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectable cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectable nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.<ref name="Guardian"/>

===Creatures, Inc. Yasukuni Shrine visit===
On January 7, 2019, [[Creatures, Inc.]] posted a [https://twitter.com/Creatures_Inc/status/1082163512795815936 tweet]{{dead link}} showing several employees visiting {{wp|Yasukuni Shrine}}, a {{wp|Controversies surrounding Yasukuni Shrine|controversial}} shrine located in Tokyo, Japan.<ref>[https://kotaku.com/pokemon-studio-criticized-after-visiting-controversial-1831601511 ''Pokémon'' Studio Criticized After Visiting Controversial Shrine | Kotaku]</ref><ref>[https://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/01/09/pokemon-creatures-inc-yasukuni-shrine-controversy/ Pokemon Studio Under Fire For Visiting Controversial Shrine | ComicBook.com]</ref><ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-01-10/pokemon-creatures-inc-in-hot-water-over-visit-to-controversial-yasukuni-shrine/.141891 Pokémon's Creatures, Inc. in Hot Water Over Visit to Controversial Yasukuni Shrine | Anime News Network]</ref> The shrine, said by Shinto practitioners to house the souls of fallen soldiers who fought for Japan, has been the subject of scrutiny over the years for including 1,068 military officials convicted of {{wp|Japanese war crimes|various war crimes}} by the 1946 International Military Tribunal for the Far East, including 14 convicted {{wp|Class A war criminals}}. Following social media backlash from fans in {{pmin|South Korea}} and {{pmin|Chinese|China}} (two regions Japan colonized before World War II and conducted war crimes in), the tweet was deleted later that day.

===2024 Pokémon World Championships location announcement===
At the end of the [[2023 Pokémon World Championships]] on August 13, 2023, it was announced that next year's [[Pokémon World Championships]] would be held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}; it is the fourth World Championships to be held in Hawaii. As the location was announced in the wake of {{wp|2023 Hawaii wildfires|wildfires happening throughout Hawaii}} beginning in early August 2023, this announcement was met with criticism; people cited issues with announcing the location during an ongoing tragedy in Hawaii, and the over-tourism in the state causing problems as it tries to meet the tourism demand.<ref>Nightingale, Ed (August 14, 2023).

Hey, it's me '''PanchamBro'''. I'm an artist, an editor (of video and wiki kind), and a media enthusiast.

I'm not the biggest ''Pokémon'' fan, or perhaps '''a ''Pokémon'' fan'''. It's likely that if [[M03|''Pokémon 3'']] was just ''Pokémon 3'' and not one of many ''[[wikipedia:Digimon Adventure|Digimon Adventure]]'' VHS tapes that featured certain episodes, I would probably be a fan of ''Pokémon''. I do have fondness for this franchise though, and if possible I will stumble upon and help this wiki.

If you wish to contact me, please do so on my talk page. If you're interested to contact me outside of this wiki, [https://panchambro.com/ see my webpage here]. For information on my other wiki activities, check out [[np:User:PanchamBro/Wikis|my page here]].

And yes, I am named after [[Pancham (Pokémon)|that Pokémon]].

Battle Tower (Galar)

PanchamBro: Replacing Undertale Wiki URL link

{{Infobox location

|image_size=300
|location_name=Battle Tower
|japanese_name=バトルタワー
|translated_name=Battle Tower

The '''[[Battle Tower]]''' (Japanese: '''バトルタワー''' ''Battle Tower'') is a [[battle facility]] located in [[Wyndon]] in [[Galar]]. It is owned by [[Leon]]. It was formerly known as [[Rose Tower]] when it was owned by [[Rose]].

==Challenges==
Challengers compete at the roof of the Battle Tower to win as many battles as they can to increase their ranking. There are two formats: [[Pokémon battle|Single Battle]] and [[Double Battle]], each with separate rankings independent of each other. Since the Battle Tower is built over a power spot, challengers may [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon in all battles. The challenge is designed to emulate a Ranked Battle system in which victories increase a Trainer's rank, but losses may potentially decrease it. Unlike [[battle facility|battle facilities]] from previous generations, challengers do not start over after losing one battle. Instead, their ranking may fall after accumulating too many losses.

===Restrictions===
To participate, the {{player}} may register a Battle Team with six Pokémon of different [[Pokémon (species)|species]], and no two Pokémon can have the same [[held item]]. All battles are held under [[Flat Battle|Flat Rules]] - any Pokémon above Lv. 50 will be set to Lv. 50. There are no special Pokémon banned from the Battle Tower, meaning [[Legendary Pokémon]] like {{p|Zacian}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]] like {{p|Zeraora}} are also eligible to participate.

===Ranks and Tiers===
There are eleven ranks and five tiers for challengers to advance in for either Single or Double Battles. As the player advances in rank, the opponents battled will become progressively more difficult. Unlike the online [[Battle Stadium]] ladder, once the player has obtained a rank and/or tier in the Battle Tower, it can never decrease.

The following lists the ranks that players can advance to and the tiers of each rank, with the number of wins required to advance. The listed rewards are given once the player rises to that rank and can only be obtained twice: once while playing Single Battles and once while playing Double Battles.

Reaching MAX rank requires a total of 33 wins, by which point the player will have received 187 BP (including the 2 BP reward for each individual battle won), 32 Rare Candies, seven Bottle Caps, a Gold Bottle Cap, two Ability Capsules, and eight random Mints.

===Rewards===
Every win at the Battle Tower awards the challenger 2 [[Battle Point|BP]]. In addition to the rewards for ranking up, challengers also receive the following after achieving a certain number of victories for each format.

Although his team is randomly selected from the following rosters, he will always use his {{TP|Leon|Charizard}} and [[Gigantamax]] it at the first opportunity. After the player reaches Master Ball Tier, Leon will reappear after every tenth victory (including against himself), using a team from his Master Ball Tier roster.

Players may use rental teams either downloaded online or from the receptionist on the right-hand side. All rental Pokémon from the receptionist have the maximum [[Dynamax]] Level of 10, neutral [[Nature]]s, a [[Trainer ID number]] of '''000000''', and the [[Original Trainer]] '''Mr. Al Rent'''.

====Basic Team====
''"This team is good for Single Battles! It’s a nice, simple team that’s built around three Pokémon close to the heart of anyone in Galar. Take a good hard look at what types of Pokémon your opponent is sending out, then choose one of these great allies to send out yourself!"''

==Trivia==
*The Battle!

This was his first appearance composing music for a Pokémon game.
**As is common with music produced for Toby's various projects,<ref>[https://undertale.wiki/w/Leitmotifs Undertale Leitmotifs]</ref><ref>[https://homestuck.net/music/references.html Homestuck Leitmotifs]</ref> the Battle! (Battle Tower) theme contains a {{wp|leitmotif}} that references another piece of music, specifically "[https://hsmusic.wiki/track/a-baby-legend/ A Baby Legend - The Baby is 2]", a track he previously composed for the Homestuck webcomic.<ref>[https://www.polygon.com/pokemon/2019/11/13/20963640/undertale-toby-fox-song-pokemon-sword-shield-homestuck-the-baby-is-you Undertale creator Toby Fox’s Pokémon Sword and Shield song sounds like a Homestuck fan tune]</ref>

Pokémon controversies

2024-09-20T05:44:04Z

PanchamBro: /* Palworld */ Updating information with now the lawsuit #cww

{{PA}}
There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.

==Violence==
===Animation===
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed to be "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
* ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slapping {{Ash}} after he tells her he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'': Misty slapping Ash again due to his recklessness in sending out {{AP|Caterpie}} to battle a {{AP|Pidgeotto}}.
* ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty smashing {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "To be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
* [[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden [[Kaiser]] repeatedly threatening Ash and the group with a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]], and also firing at {{TRT}} when they trespass onto the {{safari|Kanto}} grounds, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]] outside of Asia.
* ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'': Shots of Ash being struck by rapidly launched baseballs.
* ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'': There are two separate shots of Poliwrath violently slapping [[Jessie]]; in one of those shots, she has red spots on her cheeks from Poliwrath's intense slapping. Both of these shots were deemed "too violent" and cut from the broadcast version and [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#Box sets|first US home video release]] and replaced with an impact animation. The version streamed on Pokémon TV and the [[List of English language Master Quest home video releases (Region 1)#The Complete Collection|second US home video release]], however, leaves the shots in this episode intact.
* ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'': Two separate scenes showing [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s {{m|Ember}} attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hitting Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are intended for comic relief purposes. They are similar to scenes in Western animation such as ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' and ''{{wp|Tom and Jerry}}'', where characters get hit by extremely heavy objects and are completely fine afterwards.

==Gambling==
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors. Due to the unpredictable “risk-it-all” nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and/or gambling-esque activities, with simulated gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny. As a result, the Pan-European Game Information ({{wp|PEGI}}) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited simulated gambling first to older-skewing video games, starting in 2009, then eventually to adult-oriented games, starting in 2020,<ref>[https://gameworldobserver.com/2021/09/01/new-pegi-rating-criteria-labels-all-games-that-teach-or-encourage-gambling-18 New PEGI rating criteria labels all games that teach or encourage gambling 18+ | Game World Observer]</ref> and all games released in Europe featuring simulated gambling mechanics have been rated accordingly. While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling mechanics in video games as socially unacceptable, leading to the ''Pokémon'' games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.

English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the Gambler Trainer class to '''{{tc|PI|Gamer}}''' and removed gambling references from their dialogue. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}'''s instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many people find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, making Voltorb Flip the only way to obtain them.

With one exception, all [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} have not featured a Game Corner, remakes included. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls, originally obtained from an NPC inside the Game Corner. In {{LGPE}}, the [[Celadon Game Corner]] remains, due to its importance as the location of the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], but the slot machines have been replaced with non-playable arcade machines referencing other Pokémon games. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] was removed, and is replaced by the Metronome Style Shop, a clothing store that serves as a means for the player character to change outfits and hairstyles; though, a remix of the Veilstone Game Corner’s background music plays in the Style Shop.

In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games, however, the Game Corner was left completely untouched, although the games did receive the higher-than-usual age rating of twelve and up by PEGI (compared to all other contemporary main-series titles, which PEGI gave a rating of seven and up).

There are other gambling methods that exist in later games, such as the [[Loto-ID]], the [[Cram-o-matic]], and the [[Item Printer]]. The difference is that these methods do not require any money to try out, and provide the player with items instead of money, the only luck-based factor being the rarity of the obtained item.

In {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] was blocked for a while because it “promoted gambling and Zionism”.{{fact}}

{{pkmn|Egg}}s in [[Pokémon GO]] have been accused of being {{wp|loot boxes}}, which is a form of gambling.<ref>https://screenrant.com/pokemon-go-eggs-loot-boxes-gambling-money-incubator/</ref>

Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin, and oversized facial features, which were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in the children's book ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', as well as calling Jynx "a dead ringer for an obese {{wp|Drag Queen}}", and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and all episodes featuring Jynx's original design were cut from international airings of the anime, including a sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all versions of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US due to the implications of African American-esque characters being subservient to a powerful white figure. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of [[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version]], {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} also changed Jynx's color.

In later years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|gyaru}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of gyaru fashion, which was omnipresent in cities like Shibuya around the 1970s to 1990s. While some attribute it more specifically to {{wp|ganguro}}, this particular hypothesis at least has often been criticized due to the timeline of ganguro fashion not matching up with the development of [[Pokémon games]].<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref> Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. It has also been stated that Jynx is based on {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8X3l_Tt8VE Game Theory: Pokemon Racism, Jynx Justified]</ref>

===Lenora===
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in the anime]]
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would allude Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy stereotype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is often depicted as a dark-skinned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{B2W2}}.

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], {{mas|Lenora}} is not depicted with an apron.

==Animal cruelty==
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of {{B2W2}}, animal rights activist group {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals}} (PETA) released a mock game titled ''Pokémon Black and Blue'', in which the player controls battered and bruised Pokémon to attack human enemies. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into [[Poké Ball]]s is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."<ref>[http://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack Nintendo responds to PETA’s Pokemon attack | canada.com] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20180911211240/https://o.canada.com/technology/gaming/nintendo-responds-to-petas-pokemon-attack archived copy] )</ref> Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called ''Pokémon Red, White, and Blue'' that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.

==Religion==
===Christianity===
====Satanism====
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized list of claims:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.<ref name="SToP">[http://www.withoneaccord.org/assets/images/freedownloads/StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf Straight Talk on Pokemon - StraightTalkonPokemon.pdf]</ref><ref>[https://gizmodo.com/isis-will-use-pokemon-go-to-murder-innocent-christians-1783680507 ISIS Will Use Pokémon Go to Murder Innocent Christians and Spawn Demons (Says Radio Host Pastor)]</ref>

*Pokémon [[evolution]] has often been criticized due to sharing the name with the {{wp|Evolution|scientific theory of evolution}} which fundamentalist creationists usually reject, although the phenomenon in Pokémon is closer to {{wp|metamorphosis}}.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=o7bsCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT38 Sociology of Religion for Generations X and Y - Adam Possamai - Google Books]</ref>
**Certain Pokémon evolutions require [[Evolution stone]]s, which are often seen as magical.<ref name="SToP" />
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s and {{type|Ghost}}s.<ref>[http://www.christiananswers.net/spotlight/games/2000/pokemon.html POKÉMON | a game review from Christian Spotlight]</ref><ref>[https://www.probe.org/pokemon/ Pokemon - A Christian Assessment]</ref><ref>[http://www1.cbn.com/onlinediscipleship/pok%26eacute%3Bmon%2C-harry-potter%2C-and-the-magic-of-story Pokémon, Harry Potter, and the Magic of Story | CBN.com]</ref>
*Many Pokémon inherently involve East Asian spiritualism or mysticism, due to the franchise originating in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.<ref>[http://wildhunt.org/2016/07/pokemon-and-the-great-occult-scare.html Pokémon and the Great Occult Scare | The Wild Hunt]</ref><ref>[http://sureword.faithweb.com/pokemon.html Pokemon - Just Another Fad?]</ref>

**This has been referenced in a 1998 trivia board game.

*Pokémon causes homosexuality; the close relationship between the characters Ash and Brock was "a sign of the cartoon’s gay agenda".<ref>[http://www.patheos.com/blogs/progressivesecularhumanist/2015/04/televangelist-creflo-dollar-claims-pokemon-causes-homosexuality/ Televangelist Creflo Dollar claims Pokemon causes homosexuality]</ref><ref>[http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php GayNZ.com Pokemon 'turned teens gay' - preacher] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150709051450/http://www.gaynz.com/articles/publish/2/article_16696.php archived copy])</ref>

In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref>

===Islam===
[[File:Egyptian Newspaper Poké-fatwa smear-campaign.jpg|200x200px|thumb|The Poké-fatwa smear campaign reaching the headline page of an Egyptian newspaper on April 15, 2001. Title reads: It is forbidden for Muslims to interact with the Pokémon game.]]

On March 15, 2001, an anonymous user online claiming to be located in {{wp|Qatif}}, {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, posted a forum thread on the then big Arabic message-board site '''Montada''', making questionable claims of the [[Pokémon]] franchise being tied to {{wp|Darwinism}}, {{wp|Zionism}}, and {{wp|Satanism}}.

The post contained the following fabricated evidence of the character's names having anti-Islamic meanings and Zionist undertones when translated in English:
* [[Pokémon]] meaning '''I am a Jew'''.
* {{p|Pikachu}} meaning '''Be a Jew'''.
* {{p|Charmander}} meaning '''God is weak'''.
* {{p|Magikarp}} (misspelled as ''{{p|Magmar}}'') meaning '''God is stupid'''.
* {{p|Growlithe}} meaning '''God is lazy'''.

The following months would see those questionable claims get spread around by either word-of-mouth or anonymous printings of those very misleading rumors that originated off of that forum, which spiraled into a perplexing social smear campaign movement that succeeded in convincing a number of Arabic nations to outright ban and limit the presence of the Pokémon franchise, such as in {{wp|Egypt}}, where Mufti ''Nasser Fareed Wasel'' declared a ban on remotely interacting with any of its content on April 6, 2001.

Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy intended to get Muslim children to renounce their faith.<ref>[http://www.cairoscene.com/LifeStyle/10-Egyptian-Conspiracy-Theories 10 Egyptian Conspiracy Theories]</ref><ref>[http://articles.latimes.com/2001/apr/24/news/mn-54861 Arabs See Jewish Conspiracy in Pokemon - latimes]</ref><ref>[http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html ADL denounces claim by Muslim leaders that Pokemon game is “Jewish Conspiracy" - Press Release] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160724034549/http://archive.adl.org/presrele/islme_62/3791_62.html archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/saddam-hussein-tried-ban-pokemon-7732176 Saddam Hussein tried to ban POKEMON in Iraq for an utterly bizarre reason - Mirror Online]</ref> These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.<ref>[http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/691674/Saudi-Arabia-fatwa-Pokemon-GO-un-islamic-blasphemous-theory-of-natural-evolution Saudi Arabia issues fatwa against POKÉMON for being ‘un-Islamic’ and ‘blasphemous' | World | News | Express.co.uk]</ref><ref>[https://www.memri.org/tv/dubai-family-consultant-dr-khalifa-al-makhrazi-pok%C3%A9mon-go-prohibited-spreads-darwinism Dubai Family Consultant Dr. Khalifa Al-Makhrazi: Pokemon Go Is Prohibited, Spreads Darwinism | MEMRI]</ref><ref>[http://www.alifta.net/Fatawa/FatawaChapters.aspx?languagename=en&View=Page&PageID=10338&PageNo=1&BookID=7 Fatwas of the Permanent Committee]</ref>

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref>

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}}, reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

===Judaism and perceived Nazi imagery===
====Animation====
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involved [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. It was edited out in the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, with the Grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

====Koga's Ninja Trick====
In 1999, the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} took issue with [[Nintendo]]'s use of a ''manji'' ({{wp|swastika}}) in the original Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} from Challenge from the Darkness, because of the symbol's strong association German Nazi Party insignia in the {{wp|Western world}}, which they appropriated from the manji in 1920.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickSwastikaOrigin>[https://archive.is/Klauq Article from the Holocaust Encylopedia about the history of the Swastika.]</ref> This was a sentiment echoed by Jewish parent Myla Specht, who said "We thought there had to be something we could do because it can be terrible for children."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS>[https://archive.is/M25KR Article quoting the situation with Koga's Ninja Trick in the United States.]</ref>

<gallery>
Koga Ninja Trick Manji.png|Original Japanese print

</gallery>

Response to criticism was mixed. Nintendo of America announced that the card featuring the artwork was to be discontinued in all territories<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> even though no English language copies of the cards were printed, as the complaints originated from American children recieving the card in imported packs. They also recognized that there was no ill-intent behind the manji's inclusion from "the card's Japanese creators",<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> though the original illustrator, [[Sumiyoshi Kizuki]], has never publicly commented on the topic.

Kenneth Jacobson, a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League, recognized Nintendo's sensitivity to the feelings of Jews and others to whom the swastika may offend. Conversely, Steve Weisman, who was upset after hearing that ten-year-old children were finding the cards from imported packs said that Nintendo should do more, saying; "maybe [including] a contribution to a Holocaust group. The whole premise of the game is kids having fun. This reminded people of 6 million deaths."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref> Larry Rosensweig, a Jewish director at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach claimed that opposition to the manji symbol was "misplaced indignation", bringing up the fact that the manji had "been used throughout Asia for thousands of years and has nothing whatsoever to do with the Nazis or anti-Semitism", saying "there are plenty of things out there that people should be offended about."<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickCBS></ref>

In the resale market, the original print of Koga's Ninja Trick featuring the manji is often over twenty times more valuable when compared to its reprinted counterpart, even in Japanese markets.<ref name=KogaNinjaTrickPrice>[https://archive.is/4p4V6 Tweet showing a 20x price difference between both prints of Koga's Ninja Trick.]</ref> Other cards that directly reference Nazism, such as {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Secret Mission|118}}, drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], which features the real-life map of German occupied Poland during World War II, have not been changed in a similar manner, despite the sensitive subject material.

====Registeel====
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, if the player shows the [[Yuichi Ueda|Game Director]] at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] a Pokémon [[game of origin|originating]] from Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, he gives them the [[Diploma|Time Travel Award]], featuring the Pokémon's original sprite from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Prior to v1.1.3, this award would use the original Japanese Pokémon Diamond and Pearl sprite for Registeel, although this award was not obtainable until [[Pokémon HOME]] support was added in v1.1.3 anyway; in v1.1.3, Registeel's sprite was replaced with the revised sprite used in Pokémon Platinum.<ref>https://twitter.com/mattyoukhana_/status/1473462097489104902</ref>

==Media-specific controversies==
===Pokémon Shock incident===
[[EP038|An episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas and never shown in Japan again}}, and the incident caused the anime to go into a temporary hiatus. Every Pokémon episode that aired until this episode, including [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|the opening]], was edited by lighting certain scenes, removing or changing fast-flashing scenes and more. The original version of the episodes have never been shown again, except for when the next episode preview for [[EP037]] was mistakenly retained on [[Hulu|Hulu Japan]]. For this, Pokémon currently holds the {{wp|Guinness World Records|Guinness Book World Record}} for the most photosensitive epileptic seizures caused by a TV show.

===Pokémon GO===
The sudden enormous popularity of [[Pokémon GO]] resulted in many controversies worldwide.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield Pokédex===
During the {{wp|Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3}} 2019 Nintendo Treehouse live stream on June 11, 2019,<ref>[https://youtu.be/TmWu-f6L0Mo Nintendo Treehouse: Live | E3 2019] - Youtube</ref> [[Junichi Masuda]] stated that some species of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (455 in total across [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|VII}}) could not be transferred to {{g|Sword and Shield}}. After a massive amount of backlash from Pokémon fans (most of which involving the {{wp|hashtag}} #BringBackNationalDex), [[The Pokémon Company International]] posted a statement from Masuda in response on [[Pokémon.com]] in Japanese and English on June 28, 2019.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/a-message-for-pokemon-video-game-fans/ A Message for Pokémon Video Game Fans] - Pokémon.com</ref> Despite this reiterated statement, the fan backlash on social media continued, with many fans requesting that compatibility for all Pokémon be included in a post-launch patch. When asked about the possibility of a patch, Masuda stated that he had not yet finalized a decision on such a patch. The controversy became somewhat mitigated when the Expansion Pass was announced for the games, which added 221 of the missing Pokémon back in.

This controversy is sometimes known as {{DL|Appendix:Fan terminology|Dexit}}, a portmanteau of [[Pokédex]] and {{wp|Brexit}}, which was the withdrawal of the {{wp|United Kingdom}} (the basis of [[Galar]], the setting of Sword and Shield) from the {{wp|European Union}}.

===Pokémon UNITE===
When [[Pokémon UNITE]] was first announced, it quickly attracted controversy due to it being developed by a subsidiary of {{wp|Tencent}}, which was controversial due to its ties to the Chinese government. It also brought up a controversy that had been steadily growing about the use of {{wp|microtransactions}} in Pokémon games. As a result of these controversies, the Pokémon UNITE reveal quickly became the most disliked video on [[The Pokémon Company]]'s [[YouTube]] channel.<ref>Oloman, Jordan (June 25, 2020).

Several users pointed out similarities between the Pal models found in ''Palworld'' and the Pokémon models from games such as {{g|Sun and Moon}}, accusing Pocketpair of plagiarism. The Pal "Azurobe" came under particular scrutiny for appearing to be an edit of {{p|Serperior}} and {{p|Primarina}}.<ref name=PalworldAzurobe>[https://archive.is/zEcmm Comparison made between ''Palworld's'' ''"Azurobe"'' and Pokémon such as Serperior and Primarina.]</ref> One user comparing the models was accused of fabricating evidence due to uniformly scaling the model to make the comparison easier to see within a 3D modelling program,<ref name=PalworldAzurobeFabrication>[https://archive.is/PghBU A thread incorrectly accusing the fabrication of evidence due to uniformly scaling "Azurobe" and "Serperior"'s models to be the same size.]</ref> though this accusation was chastised further by industry professionals as uniformly scaling a model does not edit the mesh in any way.<ref name=PalworldModelScale>[https://archive.is/9OMLq Post chastising those accusing fabrication by uniform model scaling.]</ref> Other industry professionals pointed out that ''Azurobe'' and Serperior shared certain bone chains that have the same amount, and using a program to move them to match the same positions resulted in a near identical topology.<ref name=PalworldModelTopology>[https://archive.is/VEJtH Post pointing out the identical amount of bone chains between Serperior and Azurobe.]</ref> Pals that are currently unobtainable in the game, though are fully functional with completed models, animations and parameters; such as "Boltmane" and "Dark Mutant" also appear especially similar to existing Pokémon, such as {{p|Luxray}} and [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Mewtwo}} Y.<ref name=PalworldBoltmane>[https://archive.is/GyJvO A page on the Pal "Boltmane", who appears similar to Luxray]</ref><ref name=PalworldDarkMutant>[https://archive.is/wip/jrVZP A post about the pal "Dark Mutant", who appears similar to Mega Mewtwo Y.]</ref>

The controversy was commented on by various professionals from all walks of the video game industry.

On the morning of January 25th, The Pokémon Company issued an official statement on their website<ref name=ThePokémonCompanyPalworldStatement>[https://archive.is/oT1L6 Post on The Pokémon Company website regarding Palworld.]</ref> in both Japanese and English, which read as the following:

 

'''''Inquiries Regarding Other Companies’ Games'''''

''"We have received many inquiries regarding another company’s game released in January 2024. We have not granted any permission for the use of Pokémon intellectual property or assets in that game. We intend to investigate and take appropriate measures to address any acts that infringe on intellectual property rights related to the Pokémon. We will continue to cherish and nurture each and every Pokémon and its world, and work to bring the world together through Pokémon in the future."''

''The Pokémon Company''

 

On February 1st, Japanese {{wp|tabloid}} magazine ''{{wp|Tokyo Sports}}'' received an alleged tip stating that professionals in the Japanese entertainment industry were actively told to not associate with Palworld.<ref name=PalworldTokyoSports>[https://archive.is/E7V9U Article from Japanese tabloid magazine ''Tokyo Sports.'']</ref> An anonymous senior executive told ''Tokyo Sports'' that they have told their talent "not to mention Palworld on SNS or in public" out of the concern that it could impact future collaborations with the Pokémon brand.

On February 6th, during [[Nintendo]]'s review of the previous fiscal year, company president [[Shuntaro Furukawa]] directly mentioned Pocketpair, ''Palworld,'' and the game's similarity to the Pokémon series, stating; "We will take appropriate action against those that infringe on our intellectual property rights."<ref name=FurukawaPalworld>[https://archive.is/uvDiD Article reporting on Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa's statements regarding Pocketpair and ''Palworld.'']</ref>

On September 19th, Nintendo, together with The Pokémon Company, filed a patent infringement lawsuit against creator Pocketpair at the Tokyo District Court, seeking an "injunction against infringement and compensation for damages on the grounds that ''Palworld'', a game developed and released by the Defendant, infringes multiple patent rights".<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html Filing Lawsuit for Infringement of Patent Rights

==Legal issues==
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]], [[The Pokémon Company]], and related entities regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
[[File:DarkKadabraTeamRocket39.jpg|thumb|200px|Dark Kadabra TCG card]]
Israeli magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, known for his attribution of his spoon-bending tricks to alleged {{wp|psychic}} abilities, sued Nintendo, alleging that {{p|Kadabra}} (known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan) was an unauthorized use of his name and likeness. Besides Kadabra's use of [[Twisted Spoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). In particular, he took issue with Kadabra cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], especially the existence of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Kadabra|39}} (named "Evil Yungerer" in Japanese). Geller, who is Jewish, additionally argued that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} due to the five-pointed star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}.<ref name="BBC"/> He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image."<ref name="BBC"/> The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into supposed psychic abilities since the 1930s, and Geller has personally used in some of his magic tricks.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbI8i17COJQ&t=341 The Man Who Stopped Game Freak from Using Kadabra - Uri Geller | Save Data | YouTube]</ref>

Geller told news outlets that he first became aware of Kadabra and its similarities to him while he was Christmas shopping at a {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}} store in Japan. According to Geller, the store manager "rushed out from his office continuously bowing," followed by "hundreds of children [thrusting] Pokemon cards at him to autograph while chanting what sounded like Uri Geller."<ref name="Guardian"/>

In December 1999, he told news outlets that he was planning to sue Nintendo. Geller retained lawyers in Tokyo and the United States, and told news outlets that he was pursuing legal action in "Europe, America, Latin America and Australasia". In the US, his lawyer said they were planning to sue for US$100 million. When reached for comment, Nintendo in Japan told news outlets they had not yet received the lawsuit.<ref name="Guardian">[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian] ([https://archive.today/XkBzu archived copy])</ref> Nintendo told news outlets "None of the Pokémon characters is given a name based on the image of any particular person".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20070224021819/http://news.zdnet.co.uk/emergingtech/0,1000000183,2076058,00.htm Uri Geller sues Pokemon | ZDnet]</ref> When VICE investigated the case in 2018, they were unable to find any evidence of Geller ever filing a lawsuit in Japan, although they were unable to contact the Japanese lawyer who Geller had retained.<ref name="VICE">[https://www.vice.com/de/article/pa947m/uri-gellers-kampf-gegen-pokemon-kadabra-nintendo Uri Geller vs. Kadabra: Die bizarre Geschichte hinter der verschwundenen Pokémon-Karte | VICE] (in German)</ref>

In November 2000, it was reported that Geller had begun legal action against Nintendo in Los Angeles federal court, for using his likeness (Kadabra) on Pokémon cards without authorization. It was reported that his lawsuit alleged he should receive substantial damages and that Nintendo cease producing cards containing his likeness.<ref name="BBC">[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref> When VICE researched the case in 2018, they were only able to find documents filed from 2001 to 2003.<ref name="VICE"/>

In 2001, Geller, along with Liechtenstein company Sambracal AG (who own the rights to Geller's name and likeness), sued Nintendo, arguing that the use of his likeness in Kadabra violated his rights under California's privacy laws. However, the judge ruled that as he was not a citizen or resident of the United States (he is a citizen of Israel and the United Kingdom who lived in the United Kingdom at the time), he was not eligible for protection under these privacy laws, so he could only sue under privacy laws in the United Kingdom, but no such laws existed that would protect him in this case; that part of the case was dismissed on August 16, 2001, but Geller continued to sue arguing that the cards violated the trademark rights to his own name. In November 2002, a judge dismissed Geller's trademark claims against Nintendo of America, ruling that there was insufficient evidence that Nintendo of America was involved in the distribution of Japanese language Kadabra cards in the United States (since only the Japanese language cards bore a similarity to Geller's name); since the Japanese language cards were only intended to be distributed in Japan, only Japanese trademark law could be applied, but Geller did not own a trademark on his name in Japan. On March 3, 2003, Geller's lawsuit was dismissed by the judge.<ref name="VICE"/>

Despite Geller losing his lawsuit, it seemed to have a {{wp|chilling effect}} on the usage of Kadabra in official Pokémon media. From 2003 to 2022, there were no new Kadabra cards released in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with the last Kadabra card to be printed before the drought being in {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003. Kadabra had not appeared in the Pokémon anime since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' in 2006. In a July 2008 interview with [[PokéBeach]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] stated that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref>

{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the lack of Kadabra cards. In matches that prevent the use of older cards, this made it impossible to play Alakazam without using cards that allow Alakazam to be played directly without evolving it from Kadabra, such as {{TCG ID|EX Sandstorm|Rare Candy|88}}. The only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released between {{TCG|Skyridge}} and 2023, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Any {{TCG|Alakazam}} cards printed since were Basic Pokémon that did not need to evolve from anything.

On November 27, 2020, The Gamer published an article about the history of Geller and Kadabra.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/kadabra-pokemon-card/ Why There Hasn’t Been A Kadabra Pokemon Card For Almost 20 Years | The Gamer]</ref> The following day, after being contacted by a reader of The Gamer's article,<ref>[https://twitter.com/BristolBeadz/status/1332954024245678082 Tweet from the author of The Gamer's first article]</ref> Geller reached out to The Gamer, telling them that he had sent a letter to "the chairman of Nintendo giving them permission to relaunch the Uri Geller Kadabra/Yungeller worldwide", which they published in a follow-up article.<ref>[https://www.thegamer.com/uri-geller-nintendo-permission-kadabra-pokemon-cards/ Uri Geller Gives Nintendo Permission To Print Kadabra On Pokemon Cards Again | The Gamer]</ref> The next day, Geller tweeted that he was sorry about "what [he] did 20 years ago", and that he was rescinding the ban; the tweet included an image of The Gamer's second article and a link to his personal museum, which at the time was scheduled to open in December 2020 after its opening had been postponed by the [[COVID-19 pandemic]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20201129015756/https://urigellermuseum.com/ Uri Geller Museum website] (archive)</ref>

In 2021, Kadabra made its first appearance in animation since 2006 in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'' (debuting December 16, 2021). The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card printed since Skyridge is included in the {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset in Japan (released June 16, 2023) and its counterpart {{TCG|151}} expansion in English (released September 22, 2023).

At the end of the [[2023 World Championships]] on August 13, 2023, it was announced that next year's [[Pokémon World Championships]] would be held in {{wp|Honolulu}}, {{wp|Hawaii}}; it is the fourth World Championships to be held in Hawaii. As the location was announced in the wake of {{wp|2023 Hawaii wildfires|wildfires happening throughout Hawaii}} beginning in early August 2023, this announcement was met with criticism; people cited issues with announcing the location during an ongoing tragedy in Hawaii, and the over-tourism in the state causing problems as it tries to meet the tourism demand.<ref>Nightingale, Ed (August 14, 2023).

Hey, it's me '''PanchamBro'''. I'm an artist, as well as a wiki editor here, occasionally here to contribute.

I'm not the biggest ''Pokémon'' fan, or perhaps '''a ''Pokémon'' fan'''. It's likely that if [[M03|''Pokémon 3'']] was just ''Pokémon 3'' and not one of many ''[[wikipedia:Digimon Adventure|Digimon Adventure]]'' VHS tapes that featured certain episodes, I would probably be a fan of ''Pokémon''. I do have fondness for this franchise though, and if possible I will stumble upon and help this wiki.

I'm available at other wikis as PanchamBro (for Fandom, I'm known as SansUT1), and social media as well. You can find me on [[np:User:PanchamBro|Nookipedia]], [https://famiwiki.net/wiki/User:PanchamBro FamiWiki], [[sbw:User:PanchamBro|SmashWiki]], [[smw:User:PanchamBro|Super Mario Wiki]], and [[zw:User:PanchamBro|Zelda Wiki]], as well as the other Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis wikis (see the sidebar). For more information on the list of wikis I'm involved in, check out [[np:User:PanchamBro/Wikis|my page here]]. Additional contact info, such as links to my Bluesky and Tumblr, can be found on my [https://panchambro.carrd.co Carrd].

And yes, I am named after [[Pancham (Pokémon)|that Pokémon]].

'''Kingdom Hearts Wiki''' is an independent wiki hosted by Porplemontage and serves as the wiki for the Kingdom Hearts series by Square Enix.

== History ==
Kingdom Hearts Wiki was originally founded on April 1, 2006 by Riku5464 on {{wp|Fandom (website)|Fandom}} (then Wikia). After the service began to impose changes against the will of the community, Kingdom Hearts Wiki went independent with assistance by Porplemontage on February 9, 2011. It, Chrono Wiki, and [[Dragon Quest Wiki]] would serve as founding members of the [https://www.seiwanetwork.org/ Square Enix Independent Wiki Alliance], a group of wikis dedicated to games made by Square Enix.

Kingdom Hearts Wiki became an affiliate of NIWA in 2012, and 10 years later, it would later formally join the alliance as a member on January 19, 2023.

'''Dragon Quest Wiki''' is a wiki focusing on the ''Dragon Quest'' video game series. Dragon Quest Wiki was created on November 20, 2007 where the wiki was originally known as the Dragon Quest Dictionary~Encyclopedia.

Dragon Quest Wiki joined [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance|NIWA]] on March 30, 2012, but following a switch to a new host in 2022, who had committed inappropriate conduct, the wiki opted to leave the alliance while also being expelled in a unanimous vote in December 2022, becoming the first wiki to do so under the new expulsion policy implemented in 2021.<ref>[https://twitter.com/NIWANetwork/status/1602080654149439488 Update regarding Dragon Quest Wiki's membership in NIWA: - @niwanetwork on Twitter]</ref>

'''Zelda Wiki''', previously known as '''Zelda Wiki.org''', '''Zelda Universe Wiki''' and temporarily '''Zeldapedia''', is a wiki-based encyclopedia. Zelda Wiki aims to collect any and all information related to [[Nintendo]]'s ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' franchise.

Zelda Wiki co-founded the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] with [[Bulbapedia]] and [[Super Mario Wiki]], a network that comprises fan-run wikis from several Nintendo franchises.

==History==
Zelda Wiki was originally founded as Zelda Universe Wiki by {{zw|User:GoldenChaos|Jess Rappaport}} for the website Zelda Universe. It quickly grew to contain information related to ''The Legend of Zelda'', before the website crashed following a server move. After it was moved to a new server, the wiki adopted the name "Zelda Wiki.org" and became a collaborative project between several different ''Zelda'' sites. After many major Zelda sites choose to leave and the only masterminds were small ''Zelda'' sties, it was reorganized under an independent structure.

Its founder, Jess Rappaport, was also the one that approached [[User:Archaic|Archaic]] and {{smw|User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage}} over forming an alliance together. Together the group founded the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], overseeing the growth of the alliance as various wikis joined the group during the Fandom migration.

On March 8, 2017, Zelda Wiki became part of Gamepedia, a wiki-farm hosting gaming wikis. Gamepedia was acquired by {{wp|Fandom (website)|Fandom}} in 2018, bringing various Gamepedia wikis under the same roof as other Fandom wikis, including Fandom's own {{zw|Community:Zeldapedia|Zeldapedia}}. As a result, Zelda Wiki's status in the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance caused contention due to its acquisition by Fandom, the same wikifarm that the alliance wanted to get away from. On June 15, 2019, Zeldapedia agreed to merge their userbase into Zelda Wiki. By 2021, the wiki has received a new skin known as FandomDesktop, and a new domain name.

On October 19, 2022, Zelda Wiki officially announced its independence from Fandom, temporarily renaming itself as Zeldapedia (the name used previously by the Fandom-operated wiki before it was merged into Zelda Wiki) and moved the site to a new domain, zeldapedia.wiki.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ZeldaWiki/status/1582831405142528000 Tweet by @ZeldaWiki]. Posted on October 19, 2022.</ref> In January 2023, the wiki renamed back to Zelda Wiki, moving to a new domain, zeldawiki.wiki.

::I'm under the belief that they got Dragalia Lost and Dragon Quest mixed up.

===Downloadable content===
{{main|sbw:Downloadable content (SSBU)|Downloadable content (SSBU) on SmashWiki}}
Following the trend set by ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', DLC Characters have been added to the game since its launch, with twelve available for purchase in total.

The first DLC character, Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series, was initially available for free to anyone who purchased the game and registered it before January 31, 2019; after this date, it is available for purchase (as a single fighter, not part of a bundle).

All other DLC characters are each included in their own Challenger Pack bundle, which includes the fighter, a stage, and music tracks. Two Fighters Passes are also available, a {{wp|Season pass (video games)|season pass}} that entitles the purchaser to a set of Challenger Packs as they are released. Five characters are included in the first Fighters pass, and six characters are included in the second. Each wave has been accompanied by a set of costumes for {{sbw|Mii|Mii Fighters}}, sold separately from the full characters and the Fighters Pass. Note that while outfits are locked to specific playstyles ({{sbw|Mii Brawler (SSBU)|Brawler}}, {{sbw|Mii Swordfighter (SSBU)|Swordfighter}}, or {{sbw|Mii Gunner (SSBU)|Gunner}}), wigs and hats can be worn by all three.

====Bonus character====

[[File:Nobuyuki Hiyama.jpg|thumb|250px|Nobuyuki Hiyama]]
'''Nobuyuki Hiyama''' (Japanese: '''檜山修之''' ''Hiyama Nobuyuki'') is a Japanese voice actor for the [[Pokémon anime]].

==Biography==
Hiyama was born on August 25, 1967, in {{wp|Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima}}, {{wp|Japan}}. As an adolescent, he did not enjoy pursuing extracurricular activities in school, particularly radio club, but he eventually found his high school radio club experience to be eventful. As a result, he developed an interest in radio drama, and noticed a boom in voice acting job opportunities during the 1970s and 1980s. Hiyama subsequently pursued a career in voice acting, despite a lack of financial support from his parents. He is currently affiliated with {{wp|Arts Vision}}.

Hiyama joined the Pokémon anime during [[S01|the first season]], and has since returned a number of times to voice different characters. His most notable roles include two [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Noland]] and [[Palmer]] (of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', respectively), as well as [[island kahuna]] [[Hala]] of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''.

'''Nintendo''' (Japanese: '''任天堂''' ''Nintendō'') is a video game and video game console company based in Kyoto, Japan, with other divisions in the United States, {{pmin|Canada}}, Australia, and Europe. It is known for several popular video game franchises such as ''{{smw|Mario (series)|Mario}}'', ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'', and [[Pokémon]]. It was founded in 1889 by {{wp|Fusajiro Yamauchi}} producing playing cards. Its current president is Shuntaro Furukawa. The longest running and historically most influential {{wp|video game console}} company, it is also recognized as one of (if not the) largest producer of video games and has sold more than two billion video games worldwide. Over time, Nintendo has manufactured seven home video game consoles: the {{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System}}, the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], the [[Nintendo 64]], the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], and the [[Nintendo Switch]]. They have also manufactured many handheld game systems, including six versions of the [[Game Boy]], the [[Nintendo DS]], and the [[Nintendo 3DS]].

==History==
''Nintendo Koppai'' was a small Japanese business founded by Fusajiro Yamauchi, producing handmade cards for ''{{wp|Hanafuda}}'', a playing card game. They became popular, and soon the company was mass producing them with additional hired workers. Through the years after that, Yamauchi retired and placed his son-in-law {{wp|Sekiryo Yamauchi}} in charge in 1929, who in turn retired in 1949, placing his grandson [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]] as president. In a highly successful move, Nintendo made a deal with Disney allowing them to use Disney characters on their cards. The company was merged and renamed several times, emerging in 1963 as Nintendo Co., Ltd.

In 1969, Nintendo established a games division, selling multiple successful toys. In 1975 Yamauchi began research into video games, back then a new American trend. Seeing the success that {{wp|Atari}} was receiving, he decided that it was a good venture, and made a deal with {{wp|Mitsubishi}} to create and sell video game consoles (designed to play only one game). Until 1982, they sold many consoles, including the first handheld, the highly successful {{wp|Game & Watch}} system, as well as arcade games, such as ''{{dk|Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong}}''. It was also at this time that [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], then an art designer for arcade games, joined the company.

Inspired by Atari and several other companies, Nintendo released their own multi-cartridge console, the {{wp|Famicom}}, in Japan. It became very successful, and soon Nintendo was selling games faster than they could make them. To ease this problem, Yamauchi divided his workers into Research & Development 1, 2, and 3 in 1984 in the hopes that Nintendo would still be able to create high-quality games while working faster. In 1985, the Famicom was released worldwide under a different name, the {{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System}}, or "NES". In this same year, the highly successful {{smw|Super Mario Bros.}} was released as well. In 1989 Nintendo released the first [[Game Boy]].

In 1990, the Super Famicom was released in Japan and was extremely successful, and in the next two years was released in the rest of the world as the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], also known as the "Super NES" or "SNES". In the mid-1990s, Nintendo contracted with {{wp|Sony}} to develop an add-on CD-ROM drive to the Super NES, but terminated the contract. Sony used the research and development of the canceled deal and would eventually release it as the {{wp|PlayStation}}. In 1995, Nintendo released the {{wp|Virtual Boy}} console, however, this provided to be a disaster for the company, their first ever. Also, competitors {{wp|Sega}} and Sony released their new 32-bit consoles, the {{wp|Sega Saturn|Saturn}} and the PlayStation, cutting into Nintendo's market share.

Between 1996 and 1997, Nintendo released the instantly popular [[Nintendo 64]] console worldwide, as well as the {{wp|Game Boy Pocket}}. In 1996, the first [[Pokémon games]] were released (as ''Pocket Monsters'' in Japan), the {{2v|Red|Green}}, which became hugely popular and spawned the mega-franchise that is known today.

The [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] home console and [[Game Boy Advance]] were released worldwide in 2001 and 2002. In 2002, the long-time President of Nintendo, Hiroshi Yamauchi, stepped down from his position, handing it off to Satoru Iwata.

In 2004, the [[Nintendo DS]] was released, followed shortly after, in 2005, by the opening of Nintendo's first retail store, {{wp|Nintendo World Store|Nintendo World}} in Rockefeller Plaza in {{wp|New York City}}. In addition, at that year's {{wp|E3}}, [[Wii]], then going by its codename of ''Revolution'', was officially announced.

In 2006, the Nintendo DS Lite was introduced, redesigning the original DS much like the [[Game Boy Advance SP]] did to the original GBA. Also in 2006, at E3, Nintendo revealed the official name for their ''Project Revolution'', Wii, and released it worldwide at the end of the year.

In 2009, the Nintendo DSi was introduced, redesigning the DS Lite. This new iteration introduced a new OS for the system and included new downloadable software, called DSiWare.

In early 2010 Nintendo released the Nintendo DSi XL.

In 2010, Nintendo announced the Nintendo 3DS, the true successor to the original Nintendo DS, for release in 2011. It is able to produce 3D effects without the need for glasses using a parallax barrier screen.

In 2011, Nintendo announced the [[Wii U]], an HD successor to the Wii, for release in 2012. The system's controller works as a touchscreen, similarly to the DS and 3DS. Also, the Nintendo 3DS was released near the beginning of the year.

In Summer 2012, Nintendo released a bigger version of the 3DS known as the 3DS XL.

In late 2012, Nintendo released the Wii U, successor to the Wii.

In early 2015, Nintendo released the new 3DS and new 3DS XL, upgraded versions of the 3DS.

In March 2017, Nintendo released the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide.

In September 2019, Nintendo released a handheld-only Switch, dubbed the [[Nintendo Switch Lite]], worldwide.

In October 2021, Nintendo released a hardware revision of the Switch, the [[Nintendo Switch (OLED model)|OLED Model]] worldwide.

Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance

2022-12-14T02:44:11Z

PanchamBro: Updating info

[[File:Niwalogo.png|frame|right|The logo of NIWA, featuring the hiragana {{tt|にわ|niwa}}, meaning "garden"]]
The '''Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance''', '''NIWA''' for short, is a network of wikis and their associated websites that aims to chronicle all things [[Nintendo]], supporting wikis independent of large corporate wiki groups, most notably {{wp|Fandom (website)|Fandom}}.

==History==
NIWA began as an expansion of the concept of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], shortly after the administration of [[Zelda Wiki]] contacted Archaic, Bulbagarden's head, about a possible affiliation. It was jointly decided, shortly thereafter, that rather than a simple affiliation, an entire network of Nintendo-based wikis could be begun, and [[Super Mario Wiki]] was shortly asked to join as another founding member.

After a little under a month of planning, NIWA was launched on February 14, 2010, to coincide with the fifth anniversary of the public launch of [[Bulbapedia]]. As noted above, the Alliance only consisted of three wikis from the start.

Within two months more, preparations were complete for the launch of [[Metroid Wiki]] and [[WiKirby]], which had been spun off by users of the original trio of NIWA wikis, and they joined the group. [[Wars Wiki]], a wiki based on the age-old Nintendo Wars franchise, became the first member recruited from outside the original trio.

Throughout October and mid-November, NIWA experienced a boost of wikis every week on Friday, starting with [[Lylat Wiki]] (October 1), then [[Pikipedia]] and [[Pikmin Fanon]] (October 8), [[StrategyWiki]] (October 15), [[SmashWiki]] (October 29), [[WikiBound]] (November 5), [[Donkey Kong Wiki]] (November 12), and [[Nookipedia]] (November 19). On November 30, [[Golden Sun Universe]] joined, notably on a Tuesday rather than Friday. [[NintendoWiki]], which had been worked on secretly for quite a time before, joined on December 10.

In 2011, after no new wikis joined the alliance for several months, [[Fire Emblem Wiki]] joined on April 20, followed by [[Starfy Wiki]] on April 28, the following year in 2012, the [[F-Zero Wiki]] joined on March 16, followed by [[Icaruspedia]] on March 23, and then the [[Dragon Quest Wiki]] on March 30.

Throughout the next three years, three Wikis would join the alliance: [[Hard Drop Tetris Wiki]] on January 17, 2014. [[Inkipedia]] on July 4, 2015, and the [[ARMS Institute]] on June 22, 2017. In November 2019, Donkey Kong Wiki merged with Super Mario Wiki, reducing the wikis in the alliance to 23, and was the first time such a reduction was seen.

After more than three years with no new wikis joining the alliance, [[Xeno Series Wiki]] joined on March 14, 2021, followed by [[Dragalia Lost Wiki]] on April 28, 2021, and [[Ukikipedia]] on May 9, 2021, currently bringing the total number of members to 26 wikis. In December 2022, Dragon Quest Wiki would leave the alliance, while also being expelled in a unanimous vote due to the new host's inappropriate conduct, temporarily bringing the total down to 25 wikis before the induction of [[Drawn to Life Wapopedia]] on December 13, 2022.

==Name==
NIWA's name, an acronym of Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance, is also romanized Japanese for "garden", symbolizing the natural growth of the community around the fandoms that make it up. This is fitting, given Nintendo's Japanese origins, and since romanization of Japanese is important for most of the wikis.

'''Flamigo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラミンゴ''' ''Karamingo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Flying|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Flamigo is a tall, avian Pokémon resembling a {{wp|flamingo}}. It is mostly pink, with a rounded body and wings, and a long serpentine neck that's tied into a knot at the base. It is said that Flamigo ties its neck into a knot to keep energy inside its belly from escaping. Flamigo also has long thin white legs with webbed feet, a curved white beak with a black tip, and yellow eyes with black pupils. Flocks of Flamigo are known to attack together in perfect harmony, via a behavior known as "synchronizing".

==Lyrics==
<ab>''You see tonight, it could go either way
Hearts balanced on a razor blade
We are designed to love and break
And to rinse and repeat it all again

I get stuck when the world's too loud
And things don't look up when you're going down
And I know your arms are reaching out
From somewhere beyond the clouds

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial

I see the light shining through the rain
A thousand colors in thе brighter shade
Needed to rise from the lowest place
There's silver lining that surrounds the grey

When I get lost, will you come back around?
Things don't look up when you're going down
And I know your arms, they are reaching out
From somewhere beyond the clouds

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
Celestial
Celestial

We were made to be nothing more than this
Finding magic in all the smallest things
The way we notice, that's what really matters
Let's make tonight go on and on and on

(You make me feel)
We were made to be nothing more than this
Finding magic in all the smallest things
(You make me feel)
The way we notice, that's what really matters
Let's make tonight go on and on and on

You make me feel
Like my troubled heart is a million miles away
You make me feel
Like I'm drunk on stars and we're dancing out into space
Celestial

Celestial
(We were made to be nothing more than this)

==Plot==
The video begins in a town in the United Kingdom in the early morning. Ed Sheeran is asleep in his room, which is decorated with various pieces of Pokémon merchandise: trading cards, [[Pokémon Battrio|Battrio]] pucks, plushes, figurines, boxed DVDs, and a [[Pokémon Mini]], as well as a [[Game Boy Color]] with some game cartridges. The scene switches to a 2D sketch-like appearance, where Sheeran is shocked awake by a sketch of [[Pikachu]]. The scene switches back to live-action, with the Pikachu having vanished but the effects of the shock still apparent. The video switches between these two formats frequently as it progresses - every time, the Pokémon influence the environment in the sketch view, but disappear in the live-action view.

Sheeran goes to his kitchen, where a [[Charmander]] helps him to cook breakfast, though it catches some of the furniture on fire in the process. A [[Squirtle]] helps Sheeran to put out the flames. Sheeran brings the food to a large dining table, where Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, and a [[Slowpoke]] eat the food with him. Sheeran walks outside and starts to sketch in his notebook, but is warned by a sketch of Pikachu that a car is about to hit him - a [[Snorlax]] appears and bounces Sheeran and the car away, as a [[Machamp]] catches the falling car. Sheeran lands near a river, where a [[Lapras]] appears and offers him a ride across.

Sheeran then appears on a grassy hill, where he rests on a rock as several [[Bulbasaur]] cause flowers to bloom around him. Sheeran appears inspired and writes something in his notebook, then jumps with joy alongside Pikachu, Squirtle, Charmander, and [[Eevee]]. Unlike before, the Eevee persists as a glowing outline when the scene switches back to live-action.

Sheeran kisses his notebook and quickly starts to jog home, when he is picked up by a [[Charizard]] that flies him home directly. As he arrives, several Pokémon are arranging his musical equipment for him - Machamp is placing a piano, Pikachu is shocking a TV on, and Squirtle is positioning a microphone. Sheeran picks up a guitar and headphones, and starts to sing into the microphone. As he does, Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Slowpoke, and [[Mew]] all appear as glowing outlines in the real world, similar to the Eevee.

The Mew starts to fight with a blue orb, and the two of them enter the TV, which starts to show an anime-style animated battle between Mew and [[Mewtwo]], resembling ''[[M1|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Sheeran appears in the animation in an outfit resembling [[Ash Ketchum]], riding Charizard and joined by all of the Pokémon seen thus far in the video. Mew and Mewtwo's fight starts to throw debris over the arena, which the Pokémon deflect. Sheeran throws three Poké Balls, which contain [[Sobble]], [[Grookey]], and [[Scorbunny]], and dodges debris as Lapras creates an ice slope for them to run on. Mew and Mewtwo each throw energy orbs at each other, but Sheeran jumps between them mid-air in an attempt to stop them, and a shockwave is sent through the arena.

The scene cuts back to live-action, with Sheeran sleeping on a couch. The glowing sketch Pikachu is still present, and tries to jump into the Game Boy Color on the table before Sheeran can notice it. Sheeran picks up the device in suspicion, but a glowing sketch [[Hypno]] appears from it and quickly puts him back to sleep.

===Downloadable content===
{{main|sbw:Downloadable content (SSBU)|Downloadable content (SSBU) on SmashWiki}}
Following the trend set by ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', DLC Characters have been added to the game since its launch, with twelve available for purchase in total.

The first DLC character, Piranha Plant from the Super Mario series, was initially available for free to anyone who purchased the game and registered it before January 31, 2019; after this date, it is available for purchase (as a single fighter, not part of a bundle).

All other DLC characters are each included in their own Challenger Pack bundle, which includes the fighter, a stage, and music tracks. Two Fighters Passes are also available, a {{wp|Season pass (video games)|season pass}} that entitles the purchaser to a set of Challenger Packs as they are released. Five characters are included in the first Fighters pass, and six characters are included in the second. Each wave has been accompanied by a set of costumes for {{sbw|Mii|Mii Fighters}}, sold separately from the full characters and the Fighters Pass. Note that while outfits are locked to specific playstyles ({{sbw|Mii Brawler (SSBU)|Brawler}}, {{sbw|Mii Swordfighter (SSBU)|Swordfighter}}, or {{sbw|Mii Gunner (SSBU)|Gunner}}), wigs and hats can be worn by all three.

'''Pokémon Tetris''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンショックテトリス''' ''Pokémon Shock Tetris'') is a game released as part of [[Pokémon mini]]. It has only been released in Japan and Europe. It was classified by the ESRB as E for Everyone under the title '''Pokémon Mini Shock Tetris'''.<ref>[http://www.esrb.org/ratings/synopsis.jsp?Certificate=7532&Title=Pokemon%20Mini%20Shock%20Tetris ESRB - Pokémon Mini Shock Tetris]</ref> This likely meant that the game was planned to release in the United States but was scrapped for unknown reasons.

The game is inspired by {{wp|Tetris}}.

==Gameplay==
The game consists of several variations of the main game of {{wp|Tetris}} with varying levels of difficulty. This game also allows most bricks to be Flipped by shaking the Pokémon mini. In all one player and VS. games, a silhouette of a Pokémon will be shown on the right hand side of the screen; if the player can make a match of 4 or more lines, the Pokémon will be captured and added to the in-game [[Pokédex]]. The player has a limited time to capture the Pokémon before it is replaced by another one chosen at random.

==Modes==
===1-player mode===
====Standard====
The player keeps playing until the screen fills up with bricks. There are three difficulty levels
* Rookie
** Only Tetrimino (regular four block pieces) appear
* Normal
** Pentimino (five block pieces) appear as your level goes up
* Hyper
** Pentimino appear from the beginning

====20 Lines====
This is a time attack mode timing how long it takes for the player to match 20 lines of bricks. On the normal level only Tetrimino appear.

====Pyramid====
The player is timed to see how quickly they can clear one of every time of line combination, including one line (single), two lines (double), three lines (triple) and four lines (tetris). At the normal level only Tetrimino appear.

====Pokédex====
249 Pokémon can be captured in this game. In this mode, the player can see which Pokémon they have caught. The Pokédex also shows both the Pokémon's number and the quantity captured. Up to three kinds of picture of each Pokémon can be viewed. Rarer Pokémon appear at higher difficulties and some only appear in certain game modes.

===VS. mode===
This mode requires both players to have a copy of the game each. Multiplayer games are the same as single player with the change that when a player makes a line match, the other player receives more lines on their screen.

==Trivia==
* This is the last game in which {{p|Jynx}} appears in its original dark-skinned design.
* In [[Hidenori Kusaka]] commentary from [[Pokémon Adventures volume 13]], he stated that he has been playing Pokémon Tetris, and praised this game.

'''Nookipedia''', originally known as '''Animal Crossing Wiki''', is a wiki devoted to [[Nintendo|Nintendo's]] {{np|Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing}} game series.

==History==
On July 12, 2010, Animal Crossing Wiki was founded on the (now defunct) animalcrossingforums.net by Jake and Leem01. It was affiliated with the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] from early in its creation. After a database error with no backup caused a large data loss, it reopened in October 23, 2010.

Not long after its reopening, members from Animal Crossing City approached Jake to merge their wiki contents to Animal Crossing Wiki, in large part thanks to a skin change that their wiki host Wikia (now {{wp|Fandom (company)|Fandom}}) was pursuing. Initially, Animal Crossing City were to move to the wiki farm ShoutWiki. Shortly after doing so, Animal Crossing City got in contact with the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], and decided on a merge with Animal Crossing Wiki. The merge took place in late 2010. Shortly after, on November 19, 2010, Animal Crossing Wiki joined the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance.

On December 31, 2010, the wiki changed its name to Nookipedia, a portmanteau of their mascot {{np|Tom Nook}} (a major character in the game) and encyclopedia. The website had also been redone in the process. The wiki obtained a new logo around its 10th anniversary of its independence, and the wiki has become a prominent contributor to the {{np|Community:ACNH Spreadsheet|ACNH Spreadsheet}}, a comprehensive spreadsheet of all the items in ''{{np|Animal Crossing: New Horizons}}''.

'''Pikmin Fanon''', formerly known as '''Pikcanon-NOT''', is a ''{{pkf|PikminFanon:About|Pikmin fanon}}'' based wiki that is a member of the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]]. It was founded on the wiki farm Wikia on November 1, 2008, by Rocky0718.

==Goal==
The purpose of Pikmin Fanon is to give Pikmin fans a spot to document their fan ideas as if they were real. These range from ideas about specific enemies or mechanics to entire games!

==History==
Founded by Rocky0718 on November 1, 2008, on Wikia, the wiki stayed there for a point of almost two years. On September 14, 2010, the wiki moved to its current domain with the help of [[Super Mario Wiki]] head Porplemontage. The wiki also persuaded [[Pikipedia]] to move to the same domain, with Pikmin Fanon taking a different spot on it. It joined the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance on October 8, 2010.

In 2020, Pikmin Fanon was announced to be closed on September 1 so that Porplemontage can focus on the other Wikis including Pikipedia, Super Mario Wiki, and [[SmashWiki]]; however, on August 31, the head of [[WikiBound]] (Tacopill) has announced that Porple has handed the Wiki over to him, with the wiki being hosted by Grifkuba. Two years later on October 29, 2022, Pikmin Fanon changed host again, this time being independently hosted.

Hey, it's me '''PanchamBro'''. I'm mostly active on [[np:|Nookipedia]], but I do occasionally come here to contribute.

I'm not the biggest ''Pokémon'' fan, or perhaps '''a ''Pokémon'' fan'''. It's likely that if [[M03|''Pokémon 3'']] was just ''Pokémon 3'' and not one of many ''[[wikipedia:Digimon Adventure|Digimon Adventure]]'' VHS tapes that featured certain episodes, I would probably be a fan of ''Pokémon''. I do have fondness for this franchise though, and if possible I will stumble upon and help this wiki.

I'm available at other wikis as PanchamBro (for Fandom, I'm known as SansUT1), and social media as well. For more information on the list of wikis I'm involved in, check out [[np:User:PanchamBro/Wikis|my page here.]]

And yes, I am named after [[Pancham (Pokémon)|that Pokémon]].

'''Zeldapedia''', previously known as '''Zelda Wiki.org''', '''Zelda Universe Wiki''' and '''Zelda Wiki''', is a wiki-based encyclopedia. Zeldapedia aims to collect any and all information related to [[Nintendo]]'s ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}'' franchise.

Zeldapedia co-founded the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]] with [[Bulbapedia]] and [[Super Mario Wiki]], a network that comprises fan-run wikis from several Nintendo franchises.

==History==
Zeldapedia was originally founded as Zelda Universe Wiki by {{zw|User:GoldenChaos|Jess Rappaport}} for the website Zelda Universe. It quickly grew to contain information related to ''The Legend of Zelda'', before the website crashed following a server move. After it was moved to a new server, the wiki adopted the name "Zelda Wiki.org" and became a collaborative project between several different ''Zelda'' sites. After many major Zelda sites choose to leave and the only masterminds were small ''Zelda'' sties, it was reorganized under an independent structure.

Its founder, Jess Rappaport, was also the one that approached [[User:Archaic|Archaic]] and {{smw|User:Porplemontage|Porplemontage}} over forming an alliance together. Together the group founded the [[Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance]], overseeing the growth of the alliance as various wikis joined the group during the Fandom migration.

On March 8, 2017, Zelda Wiki became part of Gamepedia, a wiki-farm hosting gaming wikis. Gamepedia was acquired by {{wp|Fandom (website)|Fandom}} in 2018, bringing various Gamepedia wikis under the same roof as other Fandom wikis, including Fandom's own {{zw|Community:Zeldapedia|Zeldapedia}}. As a result, Zelda Wiki's status in the Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance caused contention due to its acquisition by Fandom, the same wikifarm that the alliance wanted to get away from. On June 15, 2019, Fandom's Zeldapedia agreed to merge their userbase into Zelda Wiki. By 2021, the wiki has received a new skin known as FandomDesktop, and a new domain name.

On October 19, 2022, Zelda Wiki officially announced its independence from Fandom, renaming itself as Zeldapedia (the name used previously by the Fandom-operated wiki before it was merged into Zelda Wiki) and moved the site to a new domain, zeldapedia.wiki.<ref>[https://twitter.com/ZeldaWiki/status/1582831405142528000 Tweet by @ZeldaWiki]. Posted on October 19, 2022.</ref>

'''Pokémon Sword''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソード''' ''Pocket Monsters Sword'') and '''Pokémon Shield''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシールド''' ''Pocket Monsters Shield'') are the primary [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation VIII]]. The games were released on the [[Nintendo Switch]] worldwide on November 15, 2019 for both retail sale and download. All copies of the game are playable in nine languages: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

During E3 2017, [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] announced that the next core series titles would be available on the [[Nintendo Switch]], but they were not prepared to release any more information at the time. On May 30, 2018, The Pokémon Company gave a [[Pokémon Press Conference|press conference]] and announced that the new core games would have more traditional gameplay, as opposed to that found in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

The games were formally announced on [[Pokémon Day]], February 27, 2019 at 11 pm JST during a worldwide announcement through [[Nintendo Direct]] hosted by Tsunekazu Ishihara, [[Junichi Masuda]], and [[Shigeru Ohmori]]. An official trailer was shown, giving information on the region and the [[starter Pokémon]] players can choose from.

The [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] was revealed during a [[Pokémon Direct]] on January 9, 2020; it adds two new areas to the game, [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The {{player}} is a young child who lives with {{gal|Mum|their mother}} in the town of [[Postwick]] in the [[Galar]] [[region]]. One day, the player's friend [[Hop]] invites them to meet his big brother [[Leon]], the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Galar League]], so that they both can receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from him. After receiving their starters, the player and Hop follow a runaway {{p|Wooloo}} into the [[Slumbering Weald]]. Inside the foggy forest, they encounter a mysterious Pokémon that is completely unaffected by [[move]]s. They are soon rescued by Leon, and then they set out to receive an [[endorsement]] from him so that they can participate in Galar's [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. After some convincing by [[Professor Magnolia]], Leon agrees to give both the player and Hop an endorsement. Just then, two [[Wishing Star]]s fall out of the sky, and Professor Magnolia converts them into [[Dynamax Band]]s for the player and Hop, allowing them to [[Dynamax]] their Pokémon. The player and Hop then travel together to [[Motostoke]] to attend the Gym Challenge's opening ceremony, where they meet [[Rose]], the president of [[Macro Cosmos]] and the chairman of the Galar Pokémon League, as well as a band of hooligans known as [[Team Yell]].

After the opening ceremony, the player sets out to collect the eight [[Badge]]s required to compete in the Champion Cup tournament from [[Gym Leader]]s across the region. Along the way, Professor Magnolia's granddaughter and [[Professors' aides|assistant]] [[Sonia]] tells them about Galar's history and a mysterious event known as the [[Darkest Day]]. The player ends up uncovering pieces of the Darkest Day's history during their {{pkmn|journey}}, much to Sonia's pleasure. Eventually, the player manages to successfully collect the eight Badges and travels to [[Wyndon]], where the Champion Cup is held. They win their way through the Champion Cup semifinals, where they defeat Hop and end his dream of surpassing his brother. After confronting Macro Cosmos's vice-president [[Oleana]] at [[Rose Tower]], the player participates in the Champion Cup finals and wins their way through it, earning themselves the right to challenge Leon.

However, just before the player and Leon's {{pkmn|battle}} can begin, Rose makes a public announcement, revealing that he's going to bring about the second Darkest Day to save Galar from an energy crisis a thousand years in the future. To stop Rose's plans, the player and Hop travel to the Slumbering Weald again to seek help from the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}, one of whom had been the mysterious Pokémon they saw at the start of their journey. They find and take along a [[Rusted Sword]] and a [[Rusted Shield]] from the heart of the forest and go to confront Rose in [[Hammerlocke]], where it is revealed that the Darkest Day is the result of Rose awakening a Legendary Pokémon known as {{p|Eternatus}}. After defeating Rose, the player and Hop go to face Eternatus at the top of the [[Hammerlocke Stadium]], where Leon unsuccessfully tries to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it, forcing the player to battle it. Once Eternatus seems to have been defeated, however, it suddenly transforms into its even more powerful Eternamax form. However, thanks to the sword and the shield they found, the player and Hop are able to summon Zacian and Zamazenta to their aid, and together, they defeat Eternatus in a [[Max Raid Battle]], allowing the player to catch it and thus end the crisis. Three days later, the player finally takes on Leon in a battle at [[Wyndon Stadium]] and defeats him, ending his career as the undefeated Champion and making the player the new Champion of Galar.

During the post-game, the player and Hop travel to the heart of Slumbering Weald to return the Rusted Sword and the Rusted Shield, only to be confronted by the rich brothers [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who try to steal the artifacts. Although the player manages to defeat one of the brothers and recover one of the stolen items, the two still manage to get away with the other one. The player and Hop are then forced to travel around Galar to stop the Dynamax Pokémon the brothers have let loose at the [[Gym|Gym Stadiums]]. They finally confront them again at Hammerlocke Stadium, where they reveal their plan being to reinstate the Galarian monarchy and denigrate Zacian and Zamazenta. Using the artifact they stole, the brothers lure in one of the Legendary Pokémon and drive it berserk, forcing the player to battle it. After it has been defeated, the other Legendary Pokémon appears as well, which the player battles and catches. During the battle, Hop follows the first Legendary to the heart of Slumbering Weald, where he successfully calms it down. Deeming Hop worthy of its trust, the Legendary Pokémon then willingly joins his [[party]]. The player and Hop then battle for one last time, after which Hop declares that his new dream is to become a [[Pokémon Professor]], and Sordward and Shielbert briefly reappear to apologise for their actions.

===The Isle of Armor===
{{main|The Isle of Armor}}
The player travels to the [[Isle of Armor]] off the coast of Galar and becomes an apprentice in the local [[Master Dojo]], a [[battle facility]] run by former Champion [[Mustard]]. They also develop a new [[rival]]ry with a Gym Leader-in-training and fellow apprentice named [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}.

===The Crown Tundra===
{{main|The Crown Tundra}}
The player travels to the [[Crown Tundra]] in southern Galar, where they meet [[Peony]], an enthusiastic former {{type|Steel}} Gym Leader, and take his daughter [[Peonia]]'s place in his explorations of solving the legends lurking around the Tundra.

==Blurb==
A wild new adventure with Pokémon!

You can battle to be the best!

Carve a path to the future!{{sup/8|Sw}} / Protect the world from disaster!{{sup/8|Sh}}

Band together in new co-op battles!

==Features==
The games mix some of the changes introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] with the more traditional gameplay last seen in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. [[Wild Pokémon]] now appear on the overworld, known as "symbol encounters", similar to the Let's Go games, as well as random encounters shaking in [[tall grass]].

Known as the Gym Challenge, [[Gym]]s that the player must battle with the goal of becoming the {{pkmn|Champion}} return to the games, after being replaced by [[island challenge|trials]] in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. The challenge culminates in the annual Champion Cup tournament where the player may challenge the Champion.

===Wild Area===
{{main|Wild Area}}
The Wild Area is a vast, open area that connects several towns in the [[Galar]] region. It is home to a wide variety of {{pkmn2|wild}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Dynamax and Gigantamax===
{{main|Dynamax}} ''and [[Gigantamax]]''
Dynamax is a new type of transformation that allows any Pokémon from the Galar region to power up and become larger using the [[Dynamax Band]]. After Dynamaxing, a Pokémon can use a [[Max Move]].

Gigantamax is a special phenomenon that also changes the appearance of a few individuals of certain species of Pokémon. Like Dynamaxing, the Pokémon is increased in power and becomes bigger. A Gigantamax Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]].

===Max Raid Battles===
{{main|Max Raid Battle}}
Max Raid Battles are a new cooperative feature that allows up to four players to challenge a Dynamax Pokémon together over local wireless or [[Nintendo Switch Online]].

===Rotom Phone===
{{main|Rotom Phone}}
Replacing the [[Rotom Pokédex]] of the [[Generation VII]] games, the Rotom Phone acts not only as a [[Pokédex]] but also has additional features, such as the [[Town Map]]. It also acts as the main interface for the game's [[menu]].

===Y-Comm===
{{main|Y-Comm}}
The Y-Comm serves as an interface to connect with other players over local wireless or on the internet through [[Nintendo Switch Online]]. Players can [[trade]] (either a Link Trade or [[Surprise Trade]]), {{pkmn|battle}}, swap [[League Card]]s, and join [[Max Raid Battle]]s.

===Battle Stadium===
{{main|Battle Stadium}}
Replacing the [[Battle Spot]] from the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games, the Battle Stadium allows players to participate in battles over the internet through [[Nintendo Switch Online]]. Players can participate in Ranked Battles, Casual Battles, and Official Competitions as well as host or join [[Friendly Competition]]s.

===Rotomi===
{{main|Rotomi}}
Rotomi replaces the [[PC]]s in previous games and has several features including allowing players to send their Pokémon on [[Poké Job]]s, design their [[League Card]], and draw for the [[Pokémon Lottery Corner|Loto-ID]].

===Pokémon Camp===
{{main|Pokémon Camp}}
Pokémon Camp allows players can go camping and interact with their Pokémon, cook [[curry]], and visit other player's camps.

===Gym Challenge===
Trainers must receive an [[endorsement]] in order to participate in the Gym Challenge. Those who defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and collect the eight [[Badge]]s can participate in the annual Champion Cup for a chance to challenge the current Champion of Galar. The Gym Leaders are [[Milo]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Nessa]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Kabu]] ({{t|Fire}}), [[Bea]] ({{t|Fighting}}){{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Allister]] ({{t|Ghost}}){{sup/8|Sh}}, [[Opal]] ({{t|Fairy}}), [[Gordie]] ({{t|Rock}}){{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Melony]] ({{t|Ice}}){{sup/8|Sh}}, [[Piers]] ({{t|Dark}}), and [[Raihan]] ({{t|Dragon}}).

During the game, Opal and [[Piers]] retire from their positions as Gym Leaders and are succeeded by [[Bede]] and [[Marnie]], respectively. During [[The Crown Tundra]], [[Klara]] ({{t|Poison}}){{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]] ({{t|Psychic}}){{sup/8|Sh}} is revealed to have become minor division Gym Leader.

===Champion Cup===
Unlike previous games, there is no [[Elite Four]] in the Galar region. Their place is instead taken by the Champion Cup, a tournament where Trainers compete for the right to challenge the current Champion. In the semifinals, {{tc|Gym Challenger}}s compete against each other, and the winner proceeds to the finals, where they join a tournament otherwise completely occupied by the Gym Leaders. The winner of the finals is granted the right to challenge [[Leon]] the Champion who uses multiple types along with a {{p|Charizard}} which can [[Gigantamax]].

* During normal gameplay, [[Gigantamax]] {{p|Machamp}} are exclusive to Sword, and Gigantamax {{p|Gengar}} to Shield. However, they have been made available by [[Wild Area News#March 9 to March 25, 2020|Wild Area News]]. Additionally, if the player has purchased the Pokémon Sword Expansion Pass or the Pokémon Shield Expansion Pass, they can obtain any Gigantamax Pokémon by feeding their Pokémon {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, regardless of which version they are playing.

==Compatibility==
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Galar Pokédex]]''
Pokémon Sword and Shield can connect with [[Pokémon HOME]]. This allows it to store and receive Pokémon from Pokémon HOME, including Pokémon from previous [[generation]]s that were [[transfer]]red into Pokémon HOME.
Users of HOME can transfer Pokémon freely between other Sword and Shield savefiles on the console, even if the files belong to different profiles. Through the mobile version of HOME, players can trade those Pokémon through the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], not natively featured in Sword and Shield, and the Wonder Box, a feature similar to Sword and Shield's [[Surprise Trade]] and the [[Wonder Trade]] of previous games.

Only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], and [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]], and a [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Galar Pokédex|select few]] "foreign" Pokémon can be transferred to Pokémon Sword and Shield. The Isle of Armor Pokédex and Crown Tundra Pokédex were released with the two iterations of the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]], but the Pokémon in those Pokédexes became compatible with the base game upon release even if the player has not purchased the Expansion Pass. All [[regional form]]s of compatible Pokémon that existed at the time of release are also compatible.

===Unusable moves===
{{main|List of moves by availability (Generation VIII)}}
In Pokémon Sword and Shield, many moves are no longer usable. Pokémon do not normally learn these moves in the game, and if a Pokémon does know one of these moves (e.g. due to being transferred from [[Pokémon HOME]]), it will not be able to use it. If the move is forgotten, [[Jack (Galar)|Jack]] will not be able to teach it again, even if it is a special move that the Pokémon normally would be able to relearn.

In lieu of their usual descriptions, most of these moves instead have the following generic description: "''This move can't be used. It's recommended that this move is forgotten. Once forgotten, this move can't be remembered.''" The unusable moves that do not have this description are usually moves that cannot be legitimately known by any Pokémon that exists in Pokémon Sword and Shield, typically being [[signature move]]s or moves which only a small group of Pokémon can know. The only move without this generic description that can be transferred into Sword and Shield is {{m|Powder}}.

The situation where Pokémon can have unusable moves is exclusive to Pokémon Sword and Shield, as subsequent games reset the move list of Pokémon transferred from {{g|HOME}}, and the preceding {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} removed moves but does not allow transfer from other core series games.

* In addition, all [[Z-Moves]] are also unusable in these games.
* In version 1.2.0, which was released alongside [[The Isle of Armor]], several previously unusable moves were made usable again. These were mostly [[signature move]]s of Pokémon that were added in that update. Further moves were made usable in version 1.3.0, coinciding with [[The Crown Tundra]].

===[[Save data bonus]]es===
If the player has save data for [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Pikachu and/or Eevee with the Gigantamax Factor is received at the [[Meetup Spot]]. The Pikachu specifically requires Let's Go, Pikachu!, while the Eevee requires Let's Go, Eevee!. Gigantamax Pikachu and Eevee are no longer exclusive to this method, as [[The Isle of Armor]] expansion provides [[Max Soup]] as a means to give the Gigantamax Factor to other Pikachu and Eevee.

Pokémon Sword and Shield save data unlocks bonus content in the following [[Nintendo Switch]] games:

* {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}: The [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}} is available as a [[gift Pokémon]] in [[Floaroma Town]]. This is currently the most reliable way to obtain Jirachi.
* {{g|Legends: Arceus}}: The player receives exclusive clothing: Shaymin Fancy Kimono and Shaymin Fancy Bottoms. After the [[credits]], it also unlocks [[Task#Requests|Request]] 92: A Token of Gratitude, in which the player obtains the [[Gracidea]] and catches {{p|Shaymin}}. This is currently the most reliable way to obtain the Mythical Pokémon.

==Reception==

The games received positive reviews among critics, but lower than most other core series releases. Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave them a score of 38 out of 40.<ref>[https://nintendoeverything.com/famitsu-review-scores-12-4-19/ Famitsu review scores - 12/4/19 - Nintendo Everything]</ref> {{wp|IGN}} rated the games an "Amazing" 9.3/10,<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/11/13/pokemon-sword-and-shield-review Pokémon Sword and Shield Review - IGN]</ref> praising the simple battling system and Dynamaxing, but criticizing the basic graphics and lack of a full Pokédex.
