== Unnamed cities, towns, and villages from the anime ==

I can make a page for each region ([[Kanto]], [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]) with a list of the nameless cities and towns featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. The pages show a list with an image from the episode, the featuring episode, the location (between so-and-so cities), and facts (such as festivals, events, history, leader, places of interest). Does [[Bulbapedia:Project Locations|Project Locations]] mind that?--[[User:Maximoss|Maximoss]] 15:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry for the late reply, but this happened because we implemented a [[n:Category:Articles by user|new category system]] on Bulbanews, and a whole bunch of old articles were edited to fix capitalization (Immewnity to immewnity primarily).

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen

== Share Buttons ==

I feel that bulbapedia should have share on facebook,twitter and +1 google buttons to make it more popular and allow people to easily share and suggest information to their friends and family.This will help Bulbapedia further expand, get more contributors and grow. {{unsigned|Pokepranav}}
:Yeah, our staff is working on that feature but it is still not done yet. So, it will take some more days. Thanks for your concern :) ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 17:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required.

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed? (when replying, please note I don't really have much of an idea on the technical side of things here, like how much the server is affected) [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 04:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:trivia hasnt been allowed to encourage people to find other things to work on, not server load. with BW out, were still not 100% on that game, so people should be doing that, instead of trivia. occassional trivia is fine, but we cant let people go around and ONLY add trivia. its nonconstructive. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 06:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created. I think the categorization of the main page is essential, and that this change should be implemented on Bulbapedia. I look forward to your responses, and to working with you in the future! Kind regards, [[User:Rassilon of Old|'''Rassilon of Old''']] ([[User talk:Rassilon of Old|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rassilon_of_Old|Contribs]]) 06:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

''(indent reset)'' So what category would you like to use then? [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia]]? It seems to be the most obvious choice, ''and'' it is suitable to the main page's subject.

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia. This is due to wikia's general lack of care for the fanbases they are supposed to serve. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

== Mobile Site ==

Bulbapedia needs a mobile site. I view on my device all the time. Not an app but a site. e.g. M.bulbapedia.org ---- DrBrock

::I wouldnt quite go that far, Han. We have been discussing a mobile site, and we almost made an app. The mobile site is a lot harder than simply copy/paste code, and with companies getting really strict on apps, thats looking questionable as well. So the real answer is, do we '''need''' one? I dont think we do, but would we ''like'' one? Yes, but it isnt in the cards right now. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 21:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate. Also factoring the advent of 4G mobile services, I don't see it being necessary now or in the future. [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 16:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic.

Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison).

And, Bulbapedia definitely can't go around saying things like "If the game is American and the seller's location is China, it's probably a bootleg." that's just asking for trouble. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Pokémon Rumble Blast ==

Pokémon Rumble Blast will be released in North America in two days. However, only one out of the 20+ locations has an article, and that article is barely linked to anything else.

Would it be possible for a location template to be made to link all of the stages (grouped by chapter) and towns so that creating and formatting the articles will be easier for people? I do not think I have the authority to create a template and I'd like to start editing the pages as soon as possible. Also note a template for the Pokémon that appear n each area. ----[[User:Sparen|Sparen]] ''([[User talk:Sparen|talk]])'' 18:31, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

:Like a navigation template to go at the bottom of the page? Sure, you're welcome to make one. Just run it past someone before you put it on the page to double check it. For the Pokemon that appear in each area, I can make one for you, but I need to know how the game works. Is it like the Previous Rumble where there are four ranks for each location, or is it more like Mystery Dungeon where there's just one set of Pokemon for each location? Sorry I can't be much hore help, the game doesn't come out here until December. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:01, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

== Felines introduced each region... ==

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

==Suggestion for the Wiki==
Where would i post a suggestion for the wiki? Would i ask you... or do I go to the forums. If i do ask you, what would you think about a new project: Pokémon pronunciation. After their names on every Pokémon's page, there should be a pronunciation key. I know Nintendo never gave pronunciation keys, but with the anime, we should be able to get the pronunciations. I only say this because I personally hate not knowing how to pronounce a Pokémon's name, and there's a lot I don't know, and I don't wan to go find what anime episode they are in to listen to when a character says there name. To be honest, I'm not really good with forums, so if this is something that should be brought to the attention of the forums, could you help me set it up? Thank you... [[User:Toadstool|Toadstool]] 23:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
:The issue with pronounciations, it the official handbooks have one, the 3D games usually have a different one, the anime often has a third different one, and in some cases the movies have a fourth. Until we can get consistency across all the different media, it's going to be difficult to implement. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:44, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

== Large-Scale Pokémon Graph Projects ==

Hello!

[http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Base%20Stat%20Graphs/][http://s49.photobucket.com/albums/f293/Googlebonker/Pokemon%20Project%20Maximum%20and%20Minimum%20Stat%20Graphs/]

If those don't work, go to photobucket.com and search "Googlebonker."

These are projects I started that I really don't want to take the time to finish. I'd like them to be presented to the Pokémon community for other people to continue work on them.

I enjoyed seeing graphs in an early strategy guide for Pokémon. I don't understand why they stopped using that style of graph and began using numbers of blocks/circles to represent the strength of a Pokémon's Stats. Graphs included in the above-linked albums are more accurate representations of Pokémon's Base Stats and maximum and minimum stats with Hindering, Neutral, and Beneficial Natures.

The files in the "Pokemon Project Base Stat Graphs" album include a blank Base Stats graph, Base Stat comparison charts by evolution chain, and Base Stat graphs for the following Pokémon:

Pokemon #001-#151, all evolutions and/or pre-evolutions of Pokémon #001-#151 not included in those numbers (where applicable), Shuckle, Shedinja, Arceus, Zekrom, and Reshiram

The "Pokemon Project Maximum and Minimum Stat Graphs" (M&MSGs) album includes blank M&MSGs and M&MSGs for the Pokémon listed above. It also contains the albums "Attack Special Attack Defense Special Defense," "HP_," and "Speed." These albums contain color-coded pixels indicating M&MS based on Base Stats. These files can be used in conjunction with a blank M&MSG to more easily make a new M&MSG for a Pokémon.

I already have a guide on how to construct files ready to go.

The "01Items" Album and its sub-albums contain a small amount of files. These files are the basis of a much larger, more time-consuming subproject of graphing Pokémon's M&MS while holding certain items that affect Pokémon's Stats (not the Base Power of Moves).

I don't guarantee all of the information I've graphed is correct.

Thank you for your time and reading. I hope someone or some people can take the reigns of these projects and see them through to completion. [[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 19:34, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
:The graphs are far less accurate and exact than our bar style. It would also be extremely difficult to implement as opposed to our coded templates. I appreciate the effort and suggestion, but it isnt really feasible.

I can understand about the feasibility, but far less accurate? Did you open those files or simply look at the thumbnails? Isn`t it possible to have a small version of a picture that shows the full version when a mouse cursor`s tip pixel is placed over any of the small version`s position?

[[User:Googlebonker|Googlebonker]] 06:09, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
::Not with the current version of Mediawiki. We can only have the thumbnail on the page, and when clicked, it loads the image page. It's less desirable than what we have at the moment. The bars are an easy enough way to compare them, for me at least easier, since they all go in the same direction. Also, take in mind that the current template uses relatively little loading - it doesn't use any images from the archives. Even in the show/hides we have, the images are still all loaded when the page is, so a large image would negatively imact the loading times.

==Differences... not so much?==
It looks like Dread Grangil has both Reuniclus and Gothitelle all along in both movies.

I think the servers are being overstressed - despite the fact that I was getting good ping times off of 10 pings to the site's router (if there is one), I couldn't load any pages - not even robots.txt!

== Metric tags in Pokédex entries ==
All pokedex entries use the imperial units of measurement from the US translation. I suggest adding tags with the metric counterparts for two reasons:

1 - the original Japanese entries use metric units, so it could be seen as "more canon".

2 - there are international users of Bulbapedia (me included) that are not used to imperial units.

For example, the final sentence in Magneton's entry in Yellow could be: ''It raises the temperature by {{tt|3.6F degrees|2°C}} within {{tt|3,300 feet|1 km}}.''

If the staff agrees, I'm willing to go through all Pokedex entries and add the metric values. I know enough Japanese to easily get the official values from the pokedex entries listed on the Japanese wiki, assuming those are correct.

--[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 09:05, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

:Metric system seems like a pretty simple and straightforward thing to include, it's merely a big job to go through ''everything'' and add the metric equivalent. Perhaps starting small, with say the Pokémon infobox only for now, and work our way up (every infobox should list the Pokémon's height and weight, so it's the most prominent use of the imperial system). Pokédex entries are also pretty simple, but I'd also say they're the less important area to work on (no complaints if you want to fix them all yourself, however). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 11:28, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== Clearer distinction between "natural" and Dream World abilities. ==

I think the distinction between pokémon that only have certain abilities through the Pokémon Dream World and those that don't can be made clearer. For example, on pages of separate abilities there is just one table with normal and PDW pokémon all mixed up, while it would be easier to make separate tables for both. I think this would help both users that own Pokémon Black or White and those that don't. Besides that we could also make a category for "Abilities exclusive to Pokémon Dream World", like {{a|Harvest}}. --[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 00:22, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

::To clarify what Jello said, the date we use for the countdown is the ''first'' official ''English'' release date.

:::::Ah, I get it now.--[[User:Celibi25|Celibi25]] 02:11, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
::::::Yes, I was actually meaning changing the existing one (even if only once it had expired). However the same applies for multiple countdowns. The bigger issue (bigger than the server load) is that if we are going to have more than one countdown, we must then include a countdown for ''every'' English release, since we aren't being biased towards any one region. So we would probably end up with five or six, rather than two, and that would be too many. Not server-load too many, although it could prove problematic, but too many space-wise on the main page. If you wish to put your own countdown on your userpage, I remember seeing a template for it floating around in someone's userspace.

::::::The reason we are doing the first English release, rather than the American release, it that this is an Engligh-language site, rather than a specifically North American site. Although the servers are in the US, our webmaster, Archaic, lives in Australia. To make a special case for the North American release would appear as a great big insult to all our non-American users, since we've never done anything like that for the European release when it was second.

== Pokemon Game Synopsis? ==

I've scoured Bulbapedia and google for the synopsis of the Pokemon games but can't find them at all! Can anyone point me to them?
Eg, How each games unfolds and how they link into eachother (I know there's a lot to do with gen I in the gen II games)
Thanks! [[User:Dazzaclarke|Dazzaclarke]] 20:06, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:I believe the closest you can get to a synopsis of the story is rather each article's Plot section such as [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions#Plot|this]].

==Small Idea==

Is it planned exactly what time the website would be lockdowned during game releases? If so maybe you could post a warning on the website banner around what time the website would be locked if possible so users making large edits won't lose all of their work? Just a idea. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:48, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

:::We don't have a schedule for when the site is locked. It's unfortunate, and we don't do it to inconvenience Bulbapedia editors. When the traffic to Bulbapedia spikes to such a rate which can trigger server outages, we close off editing. This vastly reduces the number of pages being loaded, therefore reducing server use levels. This may happen at any time, especially around new games (although we have had work done to our network of servers recently which should hopefully reduce this in future). I apologise, but there is no way we can give any kind of warning for locking the site. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Moves in Triple Battles ==

I know you have what positions moves target in Triple Battles but it's not entirely clear. I can't tell whether it means it will hit all 3 opponents or just the 2 non diagonal ones infront of you.

[[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 10:41, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

== Moving Sprites for Black and White ==

I have seen how on this site and many others how the Crystal and Emerald sprites move on their list of sprites but ones on DPP and HGSS don't. I can understand because they only flash between 2 separate sprites but for Black and White the sprites are constantly in motion and I have seen moving images of them before on the internet so I don't think it will be a problem to add them to the pages. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] 10:44, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
:Most sprites from DPPtHGSSBW are animated. However, they are animated PNG files, so cannot be seen animated in all browsers.

::Correction: Most sprites from BW ''should'' be animated, but I don't think all of them have been uploaded yet. In particular, I believe we lack the animated sprites for a number of National Dex Pokémon. Unfortunately, it's a bit more complicated than just adding ones you find on the internet: For one, most of the ones you find elsewhere might be the wrong format, and we would also want to get them directly from the game in order to make sure they're completely accurate. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:32, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

==Suggestion==
I'm not sure where to suggest this so I'll ask here. Currently Smeargle isn't added in any egg move table, since Smeargle can pass down any egg move to ground egg group Pokémon I think it should be added. I found it annoying when it took me so long to figure out that Scraggy can have Dragon Dance and Drain Punch in the same moveset with Smeargle, I don't think people generally check a Pokémon's egg group when breeding egg moves because that's what the egg move tables for, also it would be more accurate to have Smeargle.

:Each move only has the most direct way of learning the move in the father sections. Smeargle can't learn the move directly, it must learn it from something else.

I was wondering if there is a realistic Online RPG for Pokemon. By Realistic, I mean You get a Pokemon, battle Gym Leaders, and Shiny Pokemon are practically Common. It would be Preferable if the Game was an actual 'walk/travel' based, and not all Link Supported.
Thanks To Any and All who reply :)

PS: I have tried:
Pokemon Online-But Never Got It to Work :/
Pokemon Volcano-Highly Disliked it due to the fact it has only 3 Screen -.-'
Pokemon Lake-Disliked for its over-use of Shinies, unrealistic game-play, and that moves are not affected by the Pokemon's Speed, Attack, Special Attack, or anything else honestly.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad, Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad, and Go For It! Light Adventure Squad}}

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Keep Going! Blazing Adventure Squad!''' (Japanese: ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョンすすめ！{{tt|炎|ほのお}}の{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}) , '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Let's Go! Stormy Adventure Squad!''' (Japanese: ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョンいくぞ！{{tt|嵐|あらし}}の{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}), and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Go For It! Light Adventure Squad!''' (Japanese: ポケモン{{tt|不思議|ふしぎ}}のダンジョンめざせ！{{tt|光|ひかり}}の{{tt|冒険団|ぼうけんだん}}) are a set of games for the [[WiiWare]] based on the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series. Each title costs 1200 Wii Points.

The games contain the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}}, who was missing but made a cameo as a statue in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]].

The games focus on Water, Electric, and Fire-type Pokémon depending on the version and the home village's design changes accordingly.

==Features==
[[File:PMD Blazing Stormy Light Pokémon.png|thumb|left|280px|Some of the Starter Pokémon in the games and Slowking]]
* Pokémon appear as they did in [[My Pokémon Ranch]].
* The player can use the [[Nintendo DS]] as a controller.
* With the use of the internet, the player can ask for a rescue from another player.
* WiiConnect24 is used to download special missions.
* Pokémon can now [[Evolution|evolve]] inside of Dungeons.
* Four different save files are available, making it one of the few titles in the entire Pokémon series that allows more than one person to play the same copy of a game.
* If a player purchases more than one version of the game, their save file can be used with any version to access different Pokémon.
* A new mechanic allows Pokémon to ride on each other, called Pokémon Tower, which allows them to perform simultaneous attacks with each other and move as one.
** Also the towers allow Pokémon to learn egg moves, by watching a another Pokémon in the tower perform the move a couple of times, allowing a Pokémon in the tower who can learn the move as an [[Egg move|egg move]] to learn it the next time they level up.
* This is the first game in the series in which the main character is not a human transformed into a Pokémon.
* 36 different species of [[shiny Pokémon]] are now available to be recruited and have a hunger stat of 200 rather than 100.
{{left clear}}

==Characters==
===Playable characters===
The player can choose to play as a Pokémon and have a partner, chosen by a selection screen rather than a quiz. They are shown wanting to save {{p|Shuckle}}, of which Slowking is glad of. Those not chosen will randomly disappear.

'''Damos''' (Japanese: '''ダモス''' ''Damos'') is a character from ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. His Japanese voice actor is 髙嶋政宏 ''Masahiro Takashima'' and his English voice actor is [[Dan Green]].

Damos lived in ancient times, and gathered the [[Plates]] to heal {{an|Arceus}} after it injured itself saving the world from a meteor. Arceus loaned him the [[Jewel of Life]] in gratitude, but Damos and his minion, [[Marcus]], did not return it and instead attacked Arceus. Arceus caused the temple all three were in to collapse, leaving Damos's fate uncertain.

Later, it is discovered that Marcus, not Damos, was the mastermind behind the betrayal when Ash and the group come back in time to set things right. With his help, they manage to stop Marcus's plan and he then uses his power to connect to the hearts of Pokémon to reach Arceus, allowing him to take the Jewel of Life from Ash and recover. He is last seen bidding Arceus good bye before Ash and company return to the future.
