'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon. However, it does have an alternate form with an unknown name. The method by which it changes forms is unknown.

It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]] and, in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats. It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mew}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is unique in that it was the only clone to survive the cloning process before it destroyed the facility in which it was created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

Mewtwo is a creature with a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|humanoid frame}}, but has some feline features. Mewtwo's body is grey with a long, purple tail. It has three circular pads on its fingers and opposable toes on the inside of its feet, like many real-world primates, as well as two others that face forward. It has purple eyes (that glow blue during some attacks) and two blunt horns.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

In its alternate form, it is smaller and is closer to {{p|Mew}} in size. Its head loses the tube and gains a large growth on the back that resembles its other form's tail, a ring-shaped crest with two thin, pointed horns, and red eyes with faint scleras. Instead of a breastplate-shaped chest, it develops a long, bumpy ridge much like a {{wp|sternum}}. Its forearms thicken, its fingers and toes become purple and smooth, and its middle toes become larger than the others. Its grey body takes on a purplish tinge, and the growth on its head is mostly purple.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:150Mewtwo Forme BW anime.png|thumb|150px|Mewtwo's new forme]]
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It has a powerful [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, and it is also known for its powerful {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than Mew). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to their maximum power.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create a massive hurricane and is constantly protected from harm inside a reflective sphere of psychic energy. In the English dub, it is claimed that the hurricane was powerful enough to destroy the planet, as well as Mewtwo being able to block a Pokémon's "special abilities."

Mewtwo has another form; however, nothing is known about it other than its appearance.

===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from repeated DNA splicing and, in the anime, the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}} (whom it completely forgot about after its creators administered a serum to wipe its memory). During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature, to the point of surrendering to {{an|Giovanni}} just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. In Kanto, it can be found in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], Mewtwo is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], accessible only after a Trainer has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Mewtwo {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=anime|1=forme anime}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Mewtwo in its {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=normal|1=alternate}} forme in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of a {{pkmn|movie}} and a special, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, in the intro of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', chasing a {{p|Mew}}.

====[[Mewtwo (M16)]]====
Another Mewtwo debuted in its new forme in the special episode [[SS026]], a prologue to the upcoming movie [[M16]]. In the movie, Mewtwo appears in both of its formes, fighting against the [[Genesect Army]] alongside Ash and his friends.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Mewtwo Adventures.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Mewtwo}} as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
During the {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|10|final volume}} of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, but is trapped by Mewtwo.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture it with a [[Master Ball]]. Red returned it to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}}, whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own. The legendary Pokémon only returned in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Once it could communicate telepathically, Mewtwo joined up with Red in an attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni. With Red's help, Mewtwo managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed it. It has a Quiet [[nature]].

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Shū's father]] is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five-year search for the elusive Mew.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
Mewtwo made its first appearance in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga and debuted in ''[[PM002|Big Battle In The Viridian Forest!!]]''

Mewtwo is a Pokémon created by {{OBP|Giovanni|Pocket Monsters}} in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]''. It was caught by {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}} prior to ''[[PM054|The Pokémon Banana League (Part 1)]]''. Mewtwo becomes a "gag Pokémon" when its DNA becomes mixed with {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s.

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo and {{p|Lugia}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat totals]] of all {{t|Psychic}} types.
* Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by base stats|680 base stat total]] that is not a [[version mascot]] and is also the only one that is not part of any [[legendary trio]]s.
** Among these Pokémon, Mewtwo is the only one that received a [[signature move]] outside of its [[Generation I|debut generation]]. Mewtwo had no signature move until [[Generation V]], when it became the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psystrike}}.
* A {{Shiny}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* A [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal]] quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' even though Mewtwo had only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime.
* Although Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}. Mewtwo also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' (the Pokémon it originated from) and ''two'' (indicating that it is a clone). It also sounds somewhat similar to ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

== Appearances ==

Ok, isn't the same thing appeared in a brief cameo or made ? And the other section is created when there is a spotlight section. Read my discussion with MAGNEDETH on my talk page and you'll understand.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 08:09, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:I changed the wording to "Made a brief cameo appearance" because it flowed better than what you wrote originally. Regarding the "Other" section I didn't see what you were doing at first so that's why I undid you. So I'll take responsibility for that part. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 13:41, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
::No need to worry, just wanted to make sure you understand. I sure had a rough time trying to understand what magnedeth was trying to explain me. As for the "flow" you're welcome to modify ~appeared to made~ everywhere I added. There's a complete list on [[M11]]'s {{tt|page|marked with (cameo)}}.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:55, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

== Crydex ==

You must use FireFox or a similar browser with .ogg support. IE will not work. Also the linkage doesn't really matter, only the browser. I'll put that on there then...--[[User:Rsrdaman|'''×Rsr''']][[User_Talk:Rsrdaman|'''daman×''']] 07:42, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
:Hmmm, well while it's not a problem for me (I have FireFox as well) it does kinda leave out users with Internet Explorer which could be inconvient for some users/readers. Not saying your idea is bad, but just consider those people stuck with IE. Keep up the good work though~ [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 21:09, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

== Bianca's Emboar ==

Please calculate again. It shows the episode as a Pignite, not the episode for waiting to evolve as a Emboar. [[User:KyleRGiggs|[[User:KyleRGiggs|Ray]][[User talk:KyleRGiggs|mond]]]] 12:20, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
:But we don't know ''when'' it evolved.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
::The last time we saw Pignite (BW049) it was a Pignite. When we saw it in BW071, it was an Emboar. She never stated when it evolved, therefore it evolved somewhere between BW050 and BW069. Considering its debut was BW013, that makes it somewhere between 22 and 58 episodes which we ''know'' it was a Pignite. It is like this on other pages as well. (See: [[May's Wartortle]]) [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 12:42, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

==Mack==
A [http://www.mangareader.net/458-28418-6/pokemon-adventures/chapter-220.html scan] of Pokémon Adventures says otherwise. {{unsigned|Mikuri}}
:I'm sorry, but that image isn't showing up on my computer, can you explain what the image is or link to another site please? [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 03:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::The images shows Courtney saying that the Three Fires in Team Magma refer to the three Coordinators within the team, so Mack and Tabitha are also Coordinators.--[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 03:55, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::Try [http://manga.animea.net/pokemon-adventures-chapter-220-page-6.html this] link. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 04:02, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
:::Hmmm, I don't think the type of Coordinator they are referring to are the kind that enter contests correct? If that's correct that means you are correct to say that they are coordinators, but the category link you used links to the wrong type of coordinator. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 04:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::::Courtney tries to convince Ruby to join Team Magma telling him that the three admins of the team are Coordinators like him. See the following page. Well, that's how I interpreted. If I'm wrong, I apologize. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 04:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::I'm honestly conflicted :/ You would probably be better off going to the Head of Manga {{u|Zesty Cactus}} and see what she thinks about it. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 04:46, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::I'll talk to her. Thank you. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 04:54, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

== Juanita's Golurk and Fly ==
There has been some disagreement that Juanita's Golurk actually used Fly. While I agree that the mere act of flying is not in and of itself a use of the move Fly, I would like to argue that Juanita's Golurk is a different case, because not only does Golurk fly, it uses flight to launch a direct attack on Damon's Reshiram/Zekrom repeatedly that cannot be recognized as any other move. In addition, just before Golurk attacks Reshiram/Zekrom for the first time, Juanita calls out "Golurk, stop <Reshiram/Zekrom>!" which is an attack order that doesn't actually name an attack, which we've seen before. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 03:16, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
:Yea, I wasn't really involved with that issue so I'll give you BotD. On the Samurai's talk page I was saying be careful not to assume that actions are moves all of the time. This is one of those cases where it would be fair to assume it was the move fly. However, with less appearent moves we can't be 100% sure. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:51, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

== Arceus ==

Is it possible for arceus to learn draco meteor without the draco plate? because mine did.--[[User:Poke1|Poke1]] 16:07, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
:According to the Draco Meteor page, Arceus should not be able to learn that move without the Draco plate. Are you sure it wasn't holding a draco plate at the time? [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:54, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::No i sold the draco plate on accident--[[User:Poke1|Poke1]] 03:10, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:::Hmm, well I don't know how that happened. I suggest visiting Arceus's talk page and ask there so you can get more opinions. Also, please remember to indent your comments so the talk page sections can stay organized. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 11:04, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for getting the table and stuff for the Victini Sticker Book. [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 01:57, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
:No problem, just remember in the future to use the <nowiki>{{BookInfobox}}</nowiki> when creating book related articles. Cheers! [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:59, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

== Victini Sticker Book ==

I wrote a list of all the stickers, uploaded an image, and tried to make it perfect, so how did I do? [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 02:42, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
:Well, I feel that the "List of Stickers" page you created can be combined with the main article. We don't do that for other pages so we should be consistent. The main book article is still a stub so the tag should stay until the article is more thoroughly completed. Other than that, you've done a good job with everything it seems. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 03:04, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
::I moved the list over, but it's all spaced weird. Can you fix it? [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 03:22, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
:::It looks like Kogoro fixed it up for you. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:46, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
::::Is it still a stub? [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 21:08, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::I've removed the stub notice now. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 21:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

==[[Contest battle]]==
Why you moved "Contest battle" to "Battle round"? Just 'cause I did not give a reason or started a discussion about it? The whole article explain the change in title! Besides, the ~official~ name of the round is Contest battle. Can you revert this? --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 01:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
:I explained the reasons for the move in the move summary. {{u|Kenji-girl}}, the Anime Head, gave me the ok to revert your move under those reasons. I suggest going to her for more information. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:59, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
::Ok, thanks for the suggestion. --[[User:Mikuri|Mikuri]] 03:05, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

== Piping battle variation links ==

Moving the battle variations to being capitalized was done because they are officially capitalized. Piping the links to them so that it appears as the lowercase defeats the point of moving them in the first place. So <nowiki>[[Double Battle]]</nowiki> should be used over <nowiki>[[Double Battle|double battle]]</nowiki>. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:43, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
:Some of the sentences had "double battle" with everything lowercase, so I thought that in situations like that we didn't need to capitalize it. So they should be capitalized no matter what? [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:47, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah, the idea is that in articles we've had "double battle" etc. not capitalized for way too long, and this move is intended to fix that. Everything should follow [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon Syntax|this]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:40, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
:::Ah, I see. Sorry for the mistake, I've just about fixed all of the incorrect ones. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:57, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

==Why?==
Not to be mean or anything, but can you please tell me why you took off the trivia?
I can't find a logical reason for you to delete that I had many sources and it should be counted as a Mitake because,
In the movie they count them siblings but in the games they count them as a couple. {{unsigned|‎GoldenSpoink}}
:I removed your piece of trivia because it was very unclear what you were trying to say.

== powerhouse ==

hi i was wondering trip serperior personality of type said very little dealing those oppents he defeat them easily without getting a scratch on him it should said serpeior speed, agile, and strength shown can defeat pokemon with type advantage of being a high level pokemon makes trip serpeior a massive powerhouse like ash sceptial is proven to be strong enough to defeat tobis darkrai with two leaf blades attack. should ash krockrock should be a powerhouse as well being able to use dragon claw to dragonite to hit it hard enough to the wall proving to be stronger then iris dragonite.
Ash snivy should be powerhouse as well having high level moves since it was caught and defeated trip servine and frellfish attacks to defeat Sony took awhile that will make snivy endurance very high on her side with a dermentaion on her side will make her a taugh Pokemon as a powerhouse. Ash unfuzant is a powerhouse Pokemon to stay in in the Personality and characteristics. Also his unfuzant is stronger then skyla swoobat, and swanna as a tranquil it took many attacks to hold on her battle even had a battle against skyla unfuzant so when eloves it proven to better then swanna like her speed and power was even better then swanna to handle unfuzant stregth. Ash pignite is little the same as pignite to be a major powerhouse Pokemon to endure many attacks and defeated his old trainer with two fire attacks and taking hits from poision types moves of homika Pokemon.
Bolder should be ash tank Pokemon in his team taking alot of attacks of oppentents and with sturdy as a ability really prove to be a tank pokemon {{unsigned|Gian9456}}
:I don't think any of that is needed. This is the anime, we don't use terms like "tank". Also, just because a Pokemon is powerful it doesn't mean that it is a powerhouse. Saying that for all of Ash's Pokemon is redundant and really unnecessary. So I'm going to say no. Also, please sign you comments. Thanks, '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 17:07, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

but it makes sense of those pokemon of ash should be a powerhouse and trip serperior is the probably the strongest of his pokemon it will makes sense why he only use one pokemon then the others because trip knows he is a massive powerhouse in his team showing confidence and full dermentation on his side proving his power speed and agile there is full power inside serperior even defeated one or two attacks against his opponents like cilan crutle pignite and the other two trainers he defeated easily with no taking hits of any of his opponents at all. proving to be a massive powerhouse and ash sceptial should be a massive powerhouse defeated tobis darkrai and other popoents as well since caught as a trecko that was the most often use pokemon in the hoonen region to the battle frontier. {{unsigned|Gian9456}}

==Notice on Rebecca Honnig==
two things:
1. As stated somewhere on Kenji Girl's talk page, the "do not play by ear" thing refers to episodes done by TPCI under Duart (post dp053) and not the 4kids dub as there is no definate way to find out who did the voice. don't believe me? ask KG, she said it herself.
and 2. Annie read the credits and we saw Rebecca Honig in the credits. If i was playing it totally by ear, then I would have put Emily Robbison as the voice of [[Claire]] but i didn't as ods are she hasen't voiced too many characters in the series minus Max's Ralts (not the telepathy, but the RAAALTS!) either way though, the best chance you have of proving me wrong is not the fact that there's little data online about it, but rather your best chance would be to somehow contact Honig or Robison to find out either.
again, consult Kenji girl about the play by ear thing, or leave me alone regarding it please. thanks and have a good day.

== Erm... ==

Hi Pokemaster. I'm coming to you regarding the edit I made to the disambiguation page "Unknown" within the past few minutes. I added info regarding Gen. VI's unreleased region name, and I intended to remove it from the page willingly once its name was officially revealed, when the time comes. I just thought that since clicking on the region's name brought me to that disambiguation page, I thought that it would be a lot better if it was even mentioned there, if only temporarily. I know the summary of your edit said "Unnecessary," but I, for one, believe it is necessary until the official name is introduced. Once it becomes outdated, it becomes unnecessary on that disambiguation page, which would then justify itself for being removed from the disambiguation page. I hope you understand my concerns. Have a great day! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 01:42, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

I don't approve of Asperger Syndrome being referred to as a disease, as I myself have High functioning Autism. It is a disorder that indeed affects a persons social interaction but also affects how someone's brain is wired. Most people who have this disorder often partake in obsessive routine, and become upset when that routine is disrupted. They also have sensory issues where they could hate the sound of sirens or sometimes, hate the touch of rough surfaces. Other times they might hate crunchy foods. Please refrain from calling it a disease because its offending. Also, Asperger Syndrome is a hidden disorder. Most people with this disorder have good coping skills and don't have reason to show any symptoms. Satoshi might actually be that sort of case. Just because he might be an aspie, doesn't mean he is going to automatically show symptoms. He's probably learned how to cope with it.

Shouldn't such a drastic claim, such as a disease, at least be sourced by someone reliable, like Tajiri himself or an MD who diagnoses him?

:::::::::Very interesting. '''VERY''' interesting indeed. I, myself, have Aspergers, and allegedly, so did the killer in Newtown, Connecticut. NPR described it as a mental disability, but I literally called BS on that statement. Asperger Syndrome is anything '''BUT''' a disability! It doesn't disable anything in its patients at all, with the exception of the ability to read facial gestures and body language, recognize sarcasm, and show empathy towards others, among other things. If anything Aspergers only changes the way its patients see the world and the way they think, react, learn, and interact. It's not Autism, but it's a mild form of it. Because of the fact that I have AS as well, I take huge offense when it's called a "disease." But since Tajiri (probably) has it, I just realized that technically, I could be just as successful as him. Perhaps even more so.

== Part 2 ==

All of these sources being posted are all regurgitating the same information, which are just listings on blogs or random websites and Wikipedia (though Wiki has since taken down the Aspergers sentence). A claim that a person has a medical condition is a drastic claim, and shouldn't be taken from some secondary/third party source. Other than Tajiri or something speaking on behalf of him, I don't see how any other source can be acceptable. Remember, we're talking about a real-life person. Speculation and rumors shouldn't go into articles on real-life people. [[User:Randomspot555|Randomspot555]] 01:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

== Awards/Info/TV ==

Through-out the 80s and 90s Tajiri won awards, appeared on several TV programmes, was a game critic on TV,magazines and radio,he was even a guest instructor at a creative school. Should we include any of the information in the article?

I have a source for all this information too, [[http://users.otenet.gr/~tzelepisk/yc/st.htm]]

I don't approve of Asperger Syndrome being referred to as a disease, as I myself have High functioning Autism. It is a disorder that indeed affects a persons social interaction but also affects how someone's brain is wired. Most people who have this disorder often partake in obsessive routine, and become upset when that routine is disrupted. They also have sensory issues where they could hate the sound of sirens or sometimes, hate the touch of rough surfaces. Other times they might hate crunchy foods. Please refrain from calling it a disease because its offending. Also, Asperger Syndrome is a hidden disorder. Most people with this disorder have good coping skills and don't have reason to show any symptoms. Satoshi might actually be that sort of case. Just because he might be an aspie, doesn't mean he is going to automatically show symptoms. He's probably learned how to cope with it. '''[[User:Roxas-chan|[[User talk:Roxas-chan]]''' (I apologize if I fail at doing the coding. I've never had a need to edit something until now.)

== Aspergers ==

Shouldn't such a drastic claim, such as a disease, at least be sourced by someone reliable, like Tajiri himself or an MD who diagnoses him? I don't think this is fit for an article without a source, because otherwise it's just a rumor, so I've taken it out, and haven't found a reliable source that says anything about Tajiri and any disease or condition he may or may not have.

:::: Again, like the video game sites, the newspaper doesn't say how they know that Tajiri has Asperger's, just that he does.

Many are just copying/pasting the exact same lines that have appeared on Wikipedia and this article, or again just stating so as it's a matter of fact.

The claim that he has Aspergers has been removed from Wikipedia. I'm going to send a message to the author of the biography to see if she remembers the sources, because it seems like a lot of the supposedly legitimate sources are just sourcing each other. In addition, it would be seen as improper to speak about mental or emotional issues so openly in Japan (unfortunately), so I'm extremely doubtful about the claim that he confirmed it himself. [[User:Azure Butterfly|Azure Butterfly]] ([[User talk:Azure Butterfly|talk]]) 19:51, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Very interesting. '''VERY''' interesting indeed. I, myself, have Aspergers, and allegedly, so did the killer in Newtown, Connecticut. NPR described it as a mental disability, but I literally called BS on that statement. Asperger Syndrome is anything '''BUT''' a disability! It doesn't disable anything in its patients at all, with the exception of the ability to read facial gestures and body language, recognize sarcasm, and show empathy towards others, among other things. If anything Aspergers only changes the way its patients see the world and the way they think, react, learn, and interact. It's not Autism, but it's a mild form of it. Because of the fact that I have AS as well, I take huge offense when it's called a "disease." But since Tajiri (probably) has it, I just realized that technically, I could be just as successful as him. Perhaps even more so.

== Part 2 ==

All of these sources being posted are all regurgitating the same information, which are just listings on blogs or random websites and Wikipedia (though Wiki has since taken down the Aspergers sentence). A claim that a person has a medical condition is a drastic claim, and shouldn't be taken from some secondary/third party source. Other than Tajiri or something speaking on behalf of him, I don't see how any other source can be acceptable. Remember, we're talking about a real-life person. Speculation and rumors shouldn't go into articles on real-life people. [[User:Randomspot555|Randomspot555]] 01:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Through-out the 80s and 90s Tajiri won awards, appeared on several TV programmes, was a game critic on TV,magazines and radio,he was even a guest instructor at a creative school. Should we include any of the information in the article?

== Transparency! ==

It is imperative that any sprites uploaded to the Archives (and subsequently edited into Bulbapedia) are made tarnsparent. Transparency means that there is no white block around the image; the image's background automatically becomes whatever color is behind it. Single-color transparency and Alpha channel transparency are simple functions easily accessed on programs such as GIMP and Jasc Paint Shop. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 18:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:...and people should also remember that when they make the sprites transparent, ''that does not mean only the outer part''. I don't remember if all sprites are OK when it comes to Bulbapedia, but many tend to forget the white background not connected to the image edges. Also, Gen III sprites of {{p|Shedinja}} must have an intact crescent thingie; it is often broken since one of the used colors is white. UltimateSephiroth ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|user]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|contrib]]) 18:15, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
:::On that note: when setting transparency, find the value for "Tolerance" and set it to 0. This will cause the program to turn colors with ''exactly'' the same RGB values as the color you selected transparent. If the tolerance is high, the program may include some of the sprite in its transparency. [[User:LordArceus|LordArceus]] 18:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

I've worked on 3 sprites for [[Gligar_(Pokémon)#Sprites|Gligar]]- the shiny backsprite, which was done completely on my part, and appears perfectly. Then there's the non-shiny front and back sprites- originally uploaded by someone else, I transparified them and resized them to specifications, and while they appear fine on their archive pages, they are stretched and blurry on Gligar's sprite chart.

== A few questions before I begin the task I've assigned myself ==

As I've stated when I added myself to the project list, I intend to fix all sprites from the first two generations, by directly ripping from the ROM itself rather than relying on external resources. However, I have some questions before I can proceed.

1. What is the correct orientation of sprites from Generation I? Should they all face the viewer, or should they be in their pose they would be if you encountered them in the wild? While this is usually the same way, certain sprites, like Pinsir and Tauros from Red/Blue, actually face away from the player when found in the wild.

2. What is the correct palette to use? This question covers pretty much every sprite from Generation I. The Japanese Red and Green versions Super Gameboy palettes are nearly identical, except that Red uses a very light pinkish color as it's brightest (neither use pure white), where as Green uses a very light greenish color. Thankfully, Japanese Blue/International Red/Blue all use the same pinkish color. Yellow version (except the Japanese versions), on the other hand, has both a Super Gameboy palette and a Gameboy color palette (which are nearly identical except in brightness). And finally, which of these four palettes should be applied to the back sprites?

3. How does the conversion from 15-bit color to 24-bit color go? For example, the "very light pinkish" color I talked about before is defined as "R 31/31, G 29/31, B 31/31". Should we:
* 1. Directly shift on 3 empty bits (or multiply each by 8 for people who don't understand bitshifts). That would result in "R 248/255, G 232/255, B 248/255".
* 2. Add one, do the shifting (or multiplying), then subtract one. This has the added advantage of preserving percentage correctly (15/31 would turn into 127/255 instead of 120/255, where 15/31 and 127/255 are usually considered 50%). That would result in "R 255/255, G 239/255, B 255/255".

4. How do I determine the arbitrary transparency requirement with any sort of degree of consistency? Most of these are fairly easy. Others, like Diglett and Gastly (R/B) are fairly straightforward but extremely time consuming (although the neither of them here now actually make all the pixels transparent that I would have thought). But some, like Moltres (R/G), don't have any sort of standardization rules that I could think of to follow. I could probably argue for an eternity whether the pixels at 42, 25 and 42, 26 should or shouldn't be transparent or not, and anyone who gets the concept could easily argue the opposite. What am I to do in this situation?

For now, because of the amount of questions I have on just Generation I, I'm going to only focus on that before I start work on Generation II. Hopefully, if someone can shed some light on these, I can begin the process of ripping and properly converting these.

== Help ==

The only sprites I can't find in a usable resource are Emerald shiny animations. Does anyone know a resource site with these animations?
Actually, I can't find the Japanese Red Version sprites either. Anybody? [[User:LordArceus|'''Lord''']][[User talk:LordArceus|'''Arceus''']] 21:45, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

== Blurriness Issue ==

I've worked on 3 sprites for [[Gligar_(Pokémon)#Sprites|Gligar]]- the shiny backsprite, which was done completely on my part, and appears perfectly. Then there's the non-shiny front and back sprites- originally uploaded by someone else, I transparified them and resized them to specifications, and while they appear fine on their archive pages, they are stretched and blurry on Gligar's sprite chart. What is the cause of this, and how can I remedy this? I thought that I could help SpriteDex with screen capturing and Photoshop, but it seems to be backfiring with me finding a problem at every corner. -[[User:Stephen93|Stephen93]] 21:24, 22 December 2008 (UTC)
:It's either the slow cache at Bulbapedia or it's your own browser cache. If you use Firefox, hold Shift key down and click the refresh button (or press Ctrl-F5) whenever you come across a blurry sprite. I'd remember it was Ctrl + click on the refresh button in IE, but I'm not sure.

And I mean directly from the game files. Provided the files aren't encrypted or compressed. I can provide my own illegal copyright infringement. I'm unreliable though (and I mean I will spontaneously forget everything about it, and it would be hard to get me back on track). If you care to annoy me by instant messenger, just try my obvious screen names for A/M/Y (Hotmail, as a hint for the middle one).

It will be infinitely easier than trying to teach myself decompression algorithms using the game's assembly code (which I'm doing for one game right now). --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm really sorry for saying this, but honestly, it really needed to be said. Oh, and this should also go for other supposed animated png image files as well.

== A few questions before I begin the task I've assigned myself ==

As I've stated when I added myself to the project list, I intend to fix all sprites from the first two generations, by directly ripping from the ROM itself rather than relying on external resources. However, I have some questions before I can proceed.

1. What is the correct orientation of sprites from Generation I? Should they all face the viewer, or should they be in their pose they would be if you encountered them in the wild? While this is usually the same way, certain sprites, like Pinsir and Tauros from Red/Blue, actually face away from the player when found in the wild.

2. What is the correct palette to use? This question covers pretty much every sprite from Generation I. The Japanese Red and Green versions Super Gameboy palettes are nearly identical, except that Red uses a very light pinkish color as it's brightest (neither use pure white), where as Green uses a very light greenish color. Thankfully, Japanese Blue/International Red/Blue all use the same pinkish color. Yellow version (except the Japanese versions), on the other hand, has both a Super Gameboy palette and a Gameboy color palette (which are nearly identical except in brightness). And finally, which of these four palettes should be applied to the back sprites?

3. How does the conversion from 15-bit color to 24-bit color go? For example, the "very light pinkish" color I talked about before is defined as "R 31/31, G 29/31, B 31/31". Should we:
* 1. Directly shift on 3 empty bits (or multiply each by 8 for people who don't understand bitshifts). That would result in "R 248/255, G 232/255, B 248/255".
* 2. Add one, do the shifting (or multiplying), then subtract one. This has the added advantage of preserving percentage correctly (15/31 would turn into 127/255 instead of 120/255, where 15/31 and 127/255 are usually considered 50%). That would result in "R 255/255, G 239/255, B 255/255".

4. How do I determine the arbitrary transparency requirement with any sort of degree of consistency? Most of these are fairly easy. Others, like Diglett and Gastly (R/B) are fairly straightforward but extremely time consuming (although the neither of them here now actually make all the pixels transparent that I would have thought). But some, like Moltres (R/G), don't have any sort of standardization rules that I could think of to follow. I could probably argue for an eternity whether the pixels at 42, 25 and 42, 26 should or shouldn't be transparent or not, and anyone who gets the concept could easily argue the opposite. What am I to do in this situation?

For now, because of the amount of questions I have on just Generation I, I'm going to only focus on that before I start work on Generation II. Hopefully, if someone can shed some light on these, I can begin the process of ripping and properly converting these.

Thanks. [[User:Stag019|Stag019]] ([[User talk:Stag019|talk]]) 08:12, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

== Let me get this straight.... ==

So I'm pretty sure that one of the main goals of Project SpriteDex is t oreplace all of the stationary sprites in Gen V. with animated ones. Am I correct in my assumption? [[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 20:52, 28 December 2012 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Black Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック {{tt|２|ツー}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Black 2'') and '''Pokémon White Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト {{tt|２|ツー}}''' ''Pocket Monsters White 2'') are the second {{DL|Version|Relation to one another|paired versions}} of [[Generation V]] and are the sequels of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], respectively.

Both games were revealed on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' by [[Junichi Masuda]], and subsequently the official Japanese and international<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]</ref> Pokémon websites, on February 26, 2012. They were released in Japan on June 23, 2012, in North America on October 7, 2012, in Australia on October 11, 2012, in Europe on October 12, 2012 and in South Korea on November 8, 2012.

The games feature two new forms of {{p|Kyurem}} that serve as the [[version mascot]]s of the games: Black Kyurem for Black 2 and White Kyurem for White 2.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}

The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Many changes have taken place in [[Unova]] over this period: new locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, and some previously existing locations cannot be visited or are restricted until later in the game. Three new [[Gym Leader]]s and a new [[Champion]] are introduced, while the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|expanded]] to include Pokémon foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}.

The player—named, by default, {{ga|Nate}} if male or {{ga|Rosa}} if female—begins in the southwestern city [[Aspertia City]]. After receiving their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]'s assistant [[Bianca]], they are encouraged to battle in [[Pokémon Gym]]s and aim for the {{un|Pokémon League}}. A boy from the player's hometown, [[Hugh]], will travel with the player at certain times. Filling the traditional [[rival]] role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from [[Team Plasma]], who were not disbanded two years prior as expected.

Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist [[Colress]]. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Zinzolin]], appears in an antagonistic role, yet former Sage [[Rood]] will help the player. The plot comes to a head when Zinzolin freezes [[Opelucid City]] in ice with a combination of technology and the legendary dragon {{p|Kyurem}}, which Team Plasma has captured. The player must defeat Team Plasma including its new leader [[Ghetsis]] to free {{p|Kyurem}}. Ghetsis will combine the power of Kyurem with the power of the [[tao trio|legendary dragon]] befriended by [[N|his son]] two years earlier and force Kyurem to [[form differences#Kyurem|fuse]] with {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. Only once Kyurem is safe and Team Plasma has been disbanded, can the player continue his or her journey to the Pokémon League.

After the main plot of the game has been completed, many inaccessible parts of Unova, including the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], will be unlocked. Further Pokémon not native to Unova will be available, and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} and {{p|Kyurem}} will reveal themselves to the player. When they are caught, the player will be able to fuse the Pokémon and change Kyurem's form at will.

===Game box blurb===
Two powers combine...A new legend arises!
Set off on a new Pokémon adventure to save the Unova region! You and your Pokémon can accomplish anything together!


==Changes from Pokémon Black & White==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Nate (game)|game]] [[Rosa (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Swords of Justice]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version.
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, experience points, and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* The area eyecatch has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* New locations such as [[Aspertia City]], [[Virbank City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Lentimas Town]] and [[Humilau City]] have been added to the game.
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Benga]].
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns.
* All Unova Gyms receive redesigns, including newly remixed music in all but the [[Aspertia Gym]].
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* Every Trainer has their own fully animated sprite. They have more frames, allowing for smoother animations.
* Several attacks have received new battle animations.
* The battle menu has been redesigned.
* The [[C-Gear]] has been redesigned.
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon.
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green.
** The Pokédex also receives an upgrade in the form of the Habitat List. It consists of a list of all visited places, with the Pokémon found there listed (if they have been seen). The player will sometimes receive prizes from certain NPCs {{tt|when a certain area is filled|This is indicated by a full Poké Ball if all of the Pokemon found there have been captured. An area gets a semi-full Poké Ball when all the Pokémon found in that area have at least been seen.}}.
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites. This also applies for the overworld sprites.
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2.
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2. It has also changed location.
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed, while {{rt|10|Unova}} was blocked off due to a landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible.
* In place of [[Cold Storage]], there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Places marked on the map with green dots in Black and White are now marked with green squares. Also, now when they are tapped they become red (though they still cannot be flown to). This was only true of [[Liberty Garden]] in Black and White.
* During battles in tall grass, there are now visible tufts of grass around the platform, with varying colors depending on the season.
* Following the battle at [[Opelucid Gym]], [[Team Plasma]] will freeze [[Opelucid City]] (along with a portion of the neighboring routes, {{rt|9|Unova}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}), which will last until after the player has defeated the Elite Four.
* The weather icons are redesigned and smaller.

===Storyline changes===
{{spoilers}}
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]].
* Instead of the usual 5 [[Poké Balls]], the player is given 10 at the start of his or her journey.
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]], [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by [[Cheren]], [[Roxie]] and [[Marlon]] as Gym Leaders.
* Bianca gives the player a [[Starter Pokémon]].
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Ghetsis]].
* [[Colress]], a Team Plasma member, is battled frequently throughout the story.
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]] and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story.
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon.
* Iris is the new Champion of Unova.
* Ghetsis returns and plans to freeze Unova with Kyurem.
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is then fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}.
* Unlike [[Pokémon Black and White]], the version mascots Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} can't be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements.
* {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} interact with the player, making it possible to catch them during the storyline, although it is possible to catch all three Pokémon including {{p|Terrakion}}.
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca, and a daily tag battle with one of either Chili, Cress, or Cilan against the other two brothers.
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others.
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here.
* Lenora revives the player's fossils.
* Several new key items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced.
* During the post-game, the player may find [[N]] at his castle and on the first visit, battles his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season.
* Several areas that were previously limited to the post-game of Black and White are now part of the main story. In contrast, some of the areas that were formerly part of the main story are now limited to the post-game.

===Gameplay changes===
* The new [[Unova Link]] is introduced, which makes way for new features.
** [[Challenge Mode]] and [[Easy Mode]] are introduced, which raise and lower the strength of opposing Trainers respectively.
** A new feature called the [[Memory Link]] is introduced, which reveals flashbacks from the NPCs that shed light on events that happened between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
* Many TMs and all but {{m|Dive|one}} HM are received in different locations.
* The Xtransceiver adds two new mini-games called Balloon Catch, where the player needs to catch balloons of their face or an NPC's, and Balloon Smash, where the player needs to inflate the balloons as large as possible without bursting them.
* The [[Move Tutor]]s are back, and as with {{g|Platinum}}, they teach most of the moves that were in that game for [[Shard]]s, but here they all ask for shards of a specific color. They also teach many moves that lost their [[TM]] status, such as {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Roost}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}.
* If the player has used a [[Repel]], after its effect wears off, and if the player has more Repels in their bag, they will be asked if they would like to use another immediately without having to go into the menu.
* A number of legendaries from Hoenn and Sinnoh (excluding the [[Weather trio]] and [[Creation trio]]) can be found in the post-game.
* {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{TM|95|Snarl}}, which were previously accessible through Nintendo events only, can now be found within the game without any special requirements.
* The [[Kami Trio]] are notably the only [[Unova]] regional Pokémon absent from either game and must be obtained through the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and then transferred or alternatively they can be traded from {{2v2|Black|White}}. The Dream Radar is also necessary to obtain their new [[Form differences#Kami trio|forms]].
* Breeding was changed—the {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Everstone}} now always passes down nature (if both parents hold Everstone, one parent's nature is randomly picked). Furthermore, offspring have an 80% chance to have the Ability slot corresponding to their mother, unless it is a Hidden Ability; for example, {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}} is more likely to breed {{p|Venonat}} with {{a|Compoundeyes}} than with {{a|Tinted Lens}}.
* All {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s can now be [[rematch|rebattled]] every time the player re-enters the area in which they are found.

==Features==

===Pokémon World Tournament===
{{main|Pokémon World Tournament}}

A new facility featured in Black 2 and White 2 is the Pokémon World Tournament, where the player is able to battle every [[Gym Leader]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except [[Koga]] and [[Iris]]) from the main series games in various types of battles.

===Pokéstar Studios===
{{main|Pokéstar Studios}}

Pokéstar Studios is a new feature in the games that allows the player to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The player chooses from various scenarios and acts them out.

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}

Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.

===Sprite animations===
Just like in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allows for smoother animations.

The game also introduces new entry sprite animations for Pokémon, much as if it were a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

* [[N's Pokémon]], which are obtainable through [[Memory Link]], (with the exception of N's {{p|Zorua}}, who is obtainable during the main plot) have a green/yellow diamond shine, along with their own sound.
* Also, in the [[Pokéstar Studios]], when a player successfully completes a movie with their Pokémon in an unusual matter by deviating from the script, their Pokémon will become a star and during battles, when the Pokémon is summoned, a star will bounce upwards and then back downwards. This is the only entry animation that can be added manually by the player.

===Gyms===
Within the two years separating Black 2 and White 2 from their predecessors, some of the past [[Gym Leader]]s have passed on their positions to others or retired from the [[Unova League]]. The eight Gym Leaders of Unova are now: [[Cheren]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Roxie]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Drayden]] ({{t|Dragon}}) and [[Marlon]] ({{t|Water}}).

===Elite Four and Champion===
Like {{2v2|Black|White}}, the [[Elite Four]] can be battled in any order; after battling all four, a path to the {{pkmn|Champion}} is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), and [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}). The new Champion is [[Iris]].

==Pokémon==
Each game features a Pokédex of {{tt|301|numbered from 0 to 300}} different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous [[generation]]s such as {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Marill}}.

* Normally unavailable, Regice and Registeel can be caught in the Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading respective keys from game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.

==Compatibility==
Black 2 and White 2 can connect with the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], which transfer Pokémon found to the player's game. The [[Pokémon Global Link]] has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as {{v2|Platinum}} is to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The games can connect as with games of the same generation, and they operate on the same {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station}} server. Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] games Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver can be transferred to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

However, they are not entirely compatible with Pokémon Black and White as the updated Black 2 and White 2 [[Entralink]] no longer features the ability to travel into another player's "world" and thus Pass Powers are instead earned through minigames that take place in the hubworld. Likewise, a player in Black or White cannot connect with a Black 2 or White 2 via the Entralink system.

==Trivia==
* These are the first main series games since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in September 2004 to be released in North America in the fall months, as opposed to spring months.
* The localization period for Black 2 and White 2 is the shortest worldwide, lasting {{tt|about three and a half months for the majority of the translated versions|106 days for North America, 110 for Australia, 111 for Europe and 138 for South Korea}}.
* These are the first main series Pokémon games to officially be a direct, numbered sequel to {{game|Black and White|s}} from the same generation.
** This also makes them the first main series Pokémon games to have numbers in their titles.
** However, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were initially advertised to be direct, numbered sequels to [[Generation I]], originally dubbed "Pocket Monsters 2". This was changed later, thus making Black 2 and White 2 the first official direct, numbered sequels.
*** Because of this, Unova and Kanto are the only two regions to be explored in different time periods, by different player characters (excluding gender counterparts).
**** In addition to this, these are the only games to have any word (or in this case number) after the word "Version" in the title.
* These are the first main series games in which the player starts at [[Aspertia City|a location in a City]], as all previous versions had the player starting at a Town.
* These are the first paired versions to have {{p|Kyurem|the same Pokémon on the boxart}}, with the only difference being its [[Form differences#Kyurem|form]].
* These are the first paired versions since Red and Blue in which every single Pokémon has the same Pokédex entry in both games regardless of which region it is native to.
* These are the first main series games in which the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is inaccessible before the credits.
** These are also the first main series games in which the version mascots cannot be obtained without [[trade|trading]] before the credits.
* Players who pre-ordered the games from GameStop received a "Preview Guide" which hints at the new features and storyline, as well as explaining the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]. It also includes parts of the animated trailer in a comic book-style format. The guide was released online in the UK.
* These are the first games in which each Gym has different music from the others. [[Aspertia Gym]] uses the normal Gym theme (probably due to the fact that it is a {{type|Normal}} Gym), while other Gyms use remixed versions, which are affected by the type used.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 a score of 36 out of 40, which is lower than [[Pokémon Black and White Versions#Reception|its perfectly-scoring predecessors]].

According to Famitsu and Yahoo Japan, the game sold 1,618,621 copies during its first weekend on sale, making it the third best selling DS game of all time.<ref>http://www.famitsu.com/news/201206/26016963.html</ref><ref>http://dailynews.yahoo.co.jp/fc/entertainment/nintendo_ds/?1340702028</ref>

IGN rated this game an "Amazing" 9.6/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/04/pokemon-white-version-2-review</ref> and called it more "than just a slightly expanded repackaging of the latest generation's core titles (a la Pokémon Yellow, Emerald or Platinum)" and that it features a "stunning amount of fresh content" over {{game|Black and White}} which received a 9/10 from the site.<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/03/05/pokemon-white-review</ref>

Pikachu9000: Recreating my Talk Page Rules.

'''TALK PAGE ARCHIVES:'''

#[[User talk:Pikachu9000/Archive 1|ARCHIVE 1]]: Created 12/17/2012 at 17:34 PM (UTC)

----

'''PLEASE READ ALL OF THE RULES OF MY USER TALK PAGE THOROUGHLY BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES OR ADDITIONS TO MY USER TALK PAGE!!!'''

'''I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!'''
== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade). It was also delayed due to the late-October Blizzard, which made me lose Internet for 5 days. I also have a lot of usertags and templates to apply to it. After the usertags are completed, I'll add text to it later on, like MAGNEDETH's Userpage, which I modeled mine after. Currently, I have no idea when it'll be revealed, as I had to start over numerous times due to a loss of progress and other such stuff. Although, I saved the wikicode in a Word Document, so I can use that as a backup, but as of today, I don't have much of anything in the vincinity of the term "userspace." That's how much progress I have on it: virtually nothing! I'll work on it later today, and I thank you for your concern, and if you'd like, I'll keep you posted with any updates to my Userspace. Thanks for your concern! [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 21:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

== Hello ==
I've removed the section about your userspace construction project because it violates the [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#How should a talk page not be used?|Talk page policy]]. Talk pages are not meant to be used as personal project journals. Please refrain from adding such content in the future. Thank you.

:Alright. I'm fine with that. As long as I can still do that on my Userpage, I'm happy. I mean, I'd hate to lose all of that information that I spent my valuable time creating in the first place. Also, I realized that the two were very similar anyway. But one quick question for you: were you even a little bit interested in it? In my opinion, I think I've been putting a lot of effort into it since it began! I won't be offended if you say no. I just want your honest opinion. Happy editing!

Welcome to my userpage! Yes, I know this isn't much, but a newer, better userpage is still in the development stage. If you don't know what this means, just check my "Userpage Construction Project Update" down below. It'll provide you with up-to-date information on the status of my new userpage and background information about the project. So, if you want to stay updated, read what's below this and (if you want to) add my userpage to your watchlist to get up-to-the-minute updates about my userpage. Although, there is absolutely no obligation to do so, meaning I let you choose whether you do so or not. Anyway, the construction update progress is shown below. Enjoy my page (as much as you can, because it really isn't very impressive by my standards)!
〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]]

==USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE==

In this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, and replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. After I returned to Bulbapedia (briefly) on April 18, 2012, I edited my userpage a bit, my talk page some more, some mainspace pages, and then I left Bulbapedia for over 6 months. I was still working on my Userpage, but other things in my like came up that were much more important to me. Eventually I rediscovered the Word document that had my entire Userpage's wikicode and knew that I had to work on it once more, and that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, November 22, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓

:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.
:'''Construction Status & Future Plans:''' Currently, I am still in Phase 1, but it is moving steadily towards Phase 2 without many problems at all. I am still around 62% done, and I am currently adding usertags and such. Once that part of Phase 1 is complete, I will reorganize the tagbox groups, delete the unnecessary and defunct usertags, and then move on to Phase 2. Before I move onto Phase 2, however, I '''WILL''' post my userpage to Bulbapedia and make it public. Afterwards, I will add information about me that belongs outside the tagbox area, which is Phase 2's main goal, and perhaps add some of the little boxes outside the tagbox that are shown on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage. After that is finished, my userpage will be 100% complete and I will make it public, but I will update it every now and again just to keep it updated with my lifestyle. Those updates will not be major updates like this one, but eventually, I might completely rework it to keep "moving with the times," as they say. I will also change some things about the inner workings of my page in order to ensure flawless user operations. But, that's pretty much it. Come back here often for updates (if you want to) and don't forget to '''READ THE FREAKIN' RULES''' on my Usertalk page '''BEFORE POSTING OR EDITING ANYTHING!!!!!''' Well, I don't want to keep you for too long. I mean, there's an entire Pokémon Encyclopedia to edit! Don't you want to help out with it? Anyway, that' pretty much all I have to say. Now don't just stand there! Get back to editing the wiki! See ya! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] (a.k.a. "N" on [http://flipnote.hatena.com/5D5555D0A0F9A35A@DSi/ Hatena], but without quotes)

=='''APRIL 18, 2012 USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE'''==
Since January, I haven't been working on my Userpage Construction Project at all, and I regret that, but I have good reasoning for that as well: I've recently been doing lots of other stuff on some of my other accounts around the Internet, such as my DeviantArt account, my YouTube Channel, and on Flipnote Hatena as well. So as of yet, I am still ~62% done with Phase 1 of the UCP and I now expect to enter Phase 2 in late June to mid-July, 2012. That is, if I can manage to actually focus on it rather than everything else I've been doing lately. (Man, I'm seriously overworking myself!) Anyway, I'm also trying to get good grades in school so that my parents will let me get a really good gaming mouse and gaming headset that I desperately want. And if you're wondering, the headset's the Razer StarCraft II Banshee and the mouse is the Cyborg R.A.T. 7. But anyway, once I get off of school in late June, it'll be smooth sailing from there! Wish me luck and hope for the best!

=='''NOVEMBER 22, 2012 USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE'''==
Guess what. I'm BACK!!! And I'm still working on my new userpage, despite my activity on BP, or lack thereof. Now, before I get to why I've been away, I'm going to make a '''HUGE''' announcement. So that announcement is that I'm going to '''''COMPLETELY''''' restart my Userpage Construction Project that I've been working on for '''EXACTLY''' one year today. (Purely a coincidence.) I know, I've come a long way on it, but before Black 2 and White 2 came along, I was almost done with the whole thing! But just after they were released, new tags and colors came along at a rapid pace. At that point, I thought that it would be much easier to restart the whole thing rather than to look for each and every new template out there. So now I'm going to explain why I was gone for so long and what the corn I've been doing in my absence. When I was inactive on Bulbapedia, I made a Facebook page [https://www.facebook.com/N.the.Immortal here], a Twitter page here: [https://twitter.com/N_Studios @N_Studios], I got a 98 on my Algebra final, got the Razer StarCraft II gaming headset I wanted, got out of school, then on July 8, 2012 at ~4:15 PM EDT, my grandma died, I cried my eyes out for the next six hours, then I celebrated my birthday with my family on August 7 and we went to Point Pleasant, NJ (a location currently underwater), I got the Cyborg R.A.T. 7 gaming mouse I wanted (that, along with the Banshee, were both mentioned in my previous journal entry), I went on vacation in Florida and stayed at my aunt's place for a week, I played around with Windows 8 RP, then I played around with Windows 8 RTM, went back to school as a sophomore (10th grade), I preordered Black 2 and White 2, then FedEx got them to me 2 days LATE (the nerve of them!), my brother had his birthday two days later, weeks later came the release of Windows 8 with much anticipation by many, including myself (even though I'm happy to be running Windows 7), then came the hurricane and I was out of power for 11 days, 2 hours, and 20 minutes, after the power was back he broke the screen on my family's other laptop (I create my userpage on my own personal laptop by the way), and that brings us to next weekend, which is the date of my brother's Bar Mitzvah. Also, while I was gone, I did some designing for a few trains, consumer electronics, Operating Systems, and most of my pieces on my deviantART page [http://n-studios-2.deviantart.com at this location], and I, for one, think that pretty much all of them came out pretty well. And that's saying something, especially due to the fact that I have high standards. And, well, that's about it. So until my next update, I'll be working on my userpage far more often than I have been, even though I really ''should'' be playing Black 2 and White 2 in order to complete their storylines. But I'll get around to it. I will finish them sooner or later, I can promise myself that. But until the time I get around to playing them, I'll be on my laptop, usually working on my userpage. And speaking of my userpage, the background of my page shown now will be in the final release version of my page, and I honestly feel that it's easier for me to read light text on a dark background than vice versa, so I made it that way on my userpage because I'm the one who uses it the most, so leave your feedback on my talk page to share your opinion with me if you feel like it. I really appreciate it! So, until next time, farewell!

Ambiguously yours,

Talk:Victini (Pokémon)

Pikachu9000: /* no V-create */

== About its National number ==

Yeah, I know, it's #000 while Tsutarja's #001. Just because of this we cannot assume that it comes before Tsutarja in the National Dex. Tsutarja's staying numbered 494, Pokabu 497, and Mijumaru 500 until we find out otherwise. Because remember, Arceus and other non-Johto Pokémon are #000 if they're caught by hacking before getting the National Dex. Hell, in all honesty, Victini may indeed be #000 in the National Dex, too. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:28, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
:Couldn't they have just said that so we won't know how many new Pokémon they'll have? That makes sense to me. ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 13:04, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

:::Apparently, Serebii confirmed that Victini is #494.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 14:17, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
::::PokeBeach also said that it's National Pokédex number was 494, but this news is best taken with a grain of salt, until the game is officially released. Hopefully, it'll be #000, otherwise, it'll be the first time that the starters came AFTER a legendary Pokémon within the Isshu section of the National Pokédex (English name for Isshu to be seen sometime in 2011)--[[User:Kangaflora|Kangaflora]] 20:49, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Worth mentioning in the trivia, (whether going by Isshu number or national number) that Victini as an Isshu Pokémon is the first Pokémon to come BEFORE the starters of the region? Serebii even confirmed it's national number as 494, coming after Arceus and before Tsutarja making it the first time a regional Pokemon came before the starters of that same region. Worth mentioning after the games are released? --[[User:Brats817|Brats817]] 00:39, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
:First of all, we don't use Serebii as a source. Second of all, after the game is released, we can add this, but I wouldn't mentioned national number until the game confirms what its national number is. [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 00:43, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
::The glitch Pokemon that a walk-anywhere cheat will give you if you encounter a wild Pokemon before obtaining a starter is always #000.

== Origin ==

I once explained this in the talk page of the Bulbanews article about it, I'm just going to copy and paste what I said here.

"He's going on about a possible origin of Victini. From what I've seen with its appearance AND name, Victini's origin may be derived from the concept of being victorious, possibly a reference that one may feel victorious once obtaining all of the necessary requirements to obtain a certain legendary and then obtaining said legendary. In this case, Victini needs the letter to be obtained.

Further more, it does have a lot of references to the letter V in its appearance. Its ears are V shaped, it has a V shape on its chest, and it's also holding up two fingers. While in America where holding up two fingers would mean 'peace', in Japan doing so would mean victory. So as previously stated, 'V for Victory'. I find all of this to be relevant."

In short, Victini is likely derived from the concept of victory, with some rodent-like features. It could also have some traits of foxes, but I personally believe that its origin is the concept of victory, if anything really. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 00:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:If victory(V) is shown by the finger, it becomes a meaning of two(ni). It seems to relate to the origin of the name of Victi"ni". [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

::While it can mean two, in any given country, it is also commonly used to refer to as "V for Victory". Even some Americans think that way too. Coupled with the references to V and its species name, I still do believe it is also based on the concept of victory. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 01:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Because Species is a victory Pokemon(しょうりポケモン), your idea is correct.[[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== A part of origin of Victini. It might be "うさぎリンゴ(usagi ringo /rabbit Apple)". ==

Usagi ringo is traditionally a popular item for Japanese children’s box lunches.
It is guessed that Victini looks like the rabbit because of relating to rabbit-Apple.

Straying away from the Churchill argument here, but could the V stand for the roman numeral of 5? As in Generation V?

Unova is based on New York (The Manhattan Project), Victini is fire type to get STAB on the most powerful none-sacrificial move in the game (The atomic bomb's sheer power), and it's PokéDex entries state that any trainer with a Victini will always win (World War II in the pacific was brought to an end with an atomic bombing of Japan).

:The most powerful ''non-sacrificial'' move. If it were truly based on the atomic bomb, it would likely be Steel-type, and almost certainly learn explosion, which is both the most powerful move and clearly represents an explosion.

Should it be noted that Victini is only the second Pokémon of illusions (the group with Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc.) to have an event item to trigger its appearance in-game in its original generation? Yes, there was the ticket to the island to get Mew in Gen III, but as far as original generations go, there's this and there was the GS Ball available through the cell phone connection thing in Japanese Pokémon Crystal. And that didn't even make it out of Japan, whereas the Liberty Ticket will likely see worldwide distribution via Wi-Fi.--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 17:37, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I once explained this in the talk page of the Bulbanews article about it, I'm just going to copy and paste what I said here.

"He's going on about a possible origin of Victini. From what I've seen with its appearance AND name, Victini's origin may be derived from the concept of being victorious, possibly a reference that one may feel victorious once obtaining all of the necessary requirements to obtain a certain legendary and then obtaining said legendary. In this case, Victini needs the letter to be obtained.

Further more, it does have a lot of references to the letter V in its appearance. Its ears are V shaped, it has a V shape on its chest, and it's also holding up two fingers. While in America where holding up two fingers would mean 'peace', in Japan doing so would mean victory. So as previously stated, 'V for Victory'. I find all of this to be relevant."

In short, Victini is likely derived from the concept of victory, with some rodent-like features. It could also have some traits of foxes, but I personally believe that its origin is the concept of victory, if anything really. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 00:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:If victory(V) is shown by the finger, it becomes a meaning of two(ni). It seems to relate to the origin of the name of Victi"ni". [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

::While it can mean two, in any given country, it is also commonly used to refer to as "V for Victory". Even some Americans think that way too. Coupled with the references to V and its species name, I still do believe it is also based on the concept of victory. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 01:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Because Species is a victory Pokemon(しょうりポケモン), your idea is correct.[[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== A part of origin of Victini. It might be "うさぎリンゴ(usagi ringo /rabbit Apple)". ==

Usagi ringo is traditionally a popular item for Japanese children’s box lunches.
It is guessed that Victini looks like the rabbit because of relating to rabbit-Apple.

Straying away from the Churchill argument here, but could the V stand for the roman numeral of 5? As in Generation V?

== Nuke? ==

Unova is based on New York (The Manhattan Project), Victini is fire type to get STAB on the most powerful none-sacrificial move in the game (The atomic bomb's sheer power), and it's PokéDex entries state that any trainer with a Victini will always win (World War II in the pacific was brought to an end with an atomic bombing of Japan). So yeah, like alot of people from other sites seem to be saying, this thing is possibly intended to be based on an atomic bomb in a way. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 22:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:The most powerful ''non-sacrificial'' move. If it were truly based on the atomic bomb, it would likely be Steel-type, and almost certainly learn explosion, which is both the most powerful move and clearly represents an explosion. Unova is based on New York, yes, but that does not relate to Victini.

It states that Victini may be based off of usagi-ringo, and that this is especially true with the shiny form, but I think that Victini's normal form looks more like it than the shiny form.

Should it be noted that Victini is only the second Pokémon of illusions (the group with Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, etc.) to have an event item to trigger its appearance in-game in its original generation? Yes, there was the ticket to the island to get Mew in Gen III, but as far as original generations go, there's this and there was the GS Ball available through the cell phone connection thing in Japanese Pokémon Crystal.

== Origin ==

I once explained this in the talk page of the Bulbanews article about it, I'm just going to copy and paste what I said here.

"He's going on about a possible origin of Victini. From what I've seen with its appearance AND name, Victini's origin may be derived from the concept of being victorious, possibly a reference that one may feel victorious once obtaining all of the necessary requirements to obtain a certain legendary and then obtaining said legendary. In this case, Victini needs the letter to be obtained.

Further more, it does have a lot of references to the letter V in its appearance. Its ears are V shaped, it has a V shape on its chest, and it's also holding up two fingers. While in America where holding up two fingers would mean 'peace', in Japan doing so would mean victory. So as previously stated, 'V for Victory'. I find all of this to be relevant."

In short, Victini is likely derived from the concept of victory, with some rodent-like features. It could also have some traits of foxes, but I personally believe that its origin is the concept of victory, if anything really. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 00:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:If victory(V) is shown by the finger, it becomes a meaning of two(ni). It seems to relate to the origin of the name of Victi"ni". [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

::While it can mean two, in any given country, it is also commonly used to refer to as "V for Victory". Even some Americans think that way too. Coupled with the references to V and its species name, I still do believe it is also based on the concept of victory. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 01:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Because Species is a victory Pokemon(しょうりポケモン), your idea is correct.[[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== A part of origin of Victini. It might be "うさぎリンゴ(usagi ringo /rabbit Apple)". ==

Usagi ringo is traditionally a popular item for Japanese children’s box lunches.
It is guessed that Victini looks like the rabbit because of relating to rabbit-Apple.

Straying away from the Churchill argument here, but could the V stand for the roman numeral of 5? As in Generation V?

Unova is based on New York (The Manhattan Project), Victini is fire type to get STAB on the most powerful none-sacrificial move in the game (The atomic bomb's sheer power), and it's PokéDex entries state that any trainer with a Victini will always win (World War II in the pacific was brought to an end with an atomic bombing of Japan).

:The most powerful ''non-sacrificial'' move. If it were truly based on the atomic bomb, it would likely be Steel-type, and almost certainly learn explosion, which is both the most powerful move and clearly represents an explosion.

Yes, there was the ticket to the island to get Mew in Gen III, but as far as original generations go, there's this and there was the GS Ball available through the cell phone connection thing in Japanese Pokémon Crystal.

:ビクティニ also doesn't redirect to this article, and such. Anyone mind doing that too? [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 23:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I once explained this in the talk page of the Bulbanews article about it, I'm just going to copy and paste what I said here.

"He's going on about a possible origin of Victini. From what I've seen with its appearance AND name, Victini's origin may be derived from the concept of being victorious, possibly a reference that one may feel victorious once obtaining all of the necessary requirements to obtain a certain legendary and then obtaining said legendary. In this case, Victini needs the letter to be obtained.

Further more, it does have a lot of references to the letter V in its appearance. Its ears are V shaped, it has a V shape on its chest, and it's also holding up two fingers. While in America where holding up two fingers would mean 'peace', in Japan doing so would mean victory. So as previously stated, 'V for Victory'. I find all of this to be relevant."

In short, Victini is likely derived from the concept of victory, with some rodent-like features. It could also have some traits of foxes, but I personally believe that its origin is the concept of victory, if anything really. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 00:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:If victory(V) is shown by the finger, it becomes a meaning of two(ni). It seems to relate to the origin of the name of Victi"ni". [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

::While it can mean two, in any given country, it is also commonly used to refer to as "V for Victory". Even some Americans think that way too. Coupled with the references to V and its species name, I still do believe it is also based on the concept of victory. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 01:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Because Species is a victory Pokemon(しょうりポケモン), your idea is correct.[[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== A part of origin of Victini. It might be "うさぎリンゴ(usagi ringo /rabbit Apple)". ==

Usagi ringo is traditionally a popular item for Japanese children’s box lunches.
It is guessed that Victini looks like the rabbit because of relating to rabbit-Apple.

Straying away from the Churchill argument here, but could the V stand for the roman numeral of 5? As in Generation V?

Unova is based on New York (The Manhattan Project), Victini is fire type to get STAB on the most powerful none-sacrificial move in the game (The atomic bomb's sheer power), and it's PokéDex entries state that any trainer with a Victini will always win (World War II in the pacific was brought to an end with an atomic bombing of Japan).

:The most powerful ''non-sacrificial'' move. If it were truly based on the atomic bomb, it would likely be Steel-type, and almost certainly learn explosion, which is both the most powerful move and clearly represents an explosion. Unova is based on New York, yes, but that does not relate to Victini.

In the trivia it says Victini is the only Psycic/fire type. I think it may be a bit to early to call this fact becaus we do not know about all the new pokemon yet. {{unsigned|EpicShadow}}

:ビクティニ also doesn't redirect to this article, and such. Anyone mind doing that too? [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 23:46, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I once explained this in the talk page of the Bulbanews article about it, I'm just going to copy and paste what I said here.

"He's going on about a possible origin of Victini. From what I've seen with its appearance AND name, Victini's origin may be derived from the concept of being victorious, possibly a reference that one may feel victorious once obtaining all of the necessary requirements to obtain a certain legendary and then obtaining said legendary. In this case, Victini needs the letter to be obtained.

Further more, it does have a lot of references to the letter V in its appearance. Its ears are V shaped, it has a V shape on its chest, and it's also holding up two fingers. While in America where holding up two fingers would mean 'peace', in Japan doing so would mean victory. So as previously stated, 'V for Victory'. I find all of this to be relevant."

In short, Victini is likely derived from the concept of victory, with some rodent-like features. It could also have some traits of foxes, but I personally believe that its origin is the concept of victory, if anything really. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 00:25, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:If victory(V) is shown by the finger, it becomes a meaning of two(ni). It seems to relate to the origin of the name of Victi"ni". [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:10, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

::While it can mean two, in any given country, it is also commonly used to refer to as "V for Victory". Even some Americans think that way too. Coupled with the references to V and its species name, I still do believe it is also based on the concept of victory. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 01:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

:::Because Species is a victory Pokemon(しょうりポケモン), your idea is correct.[[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 01:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

== A part of origin of Victini. It might be "うさぎリンゴ(usagi ringo /rabbit Apple)". ==

Usagi ringo is traditionally a popular item for Japanese children’s box lunches.
It is guessed that Victini looks like the rabbit because of relating to rabbit-Apple.

== V ==

Victini, to me, seems to have the charecteristics of British Prime Minester, {{wp|Winston Churchill}}, as 'V for Victory' is his common symbol! - [[User:Cynthia149]] 17:03, 14 September 2010

:::Pokémon USA obviously having at least ten times the influence. Aside from the fact that all of the Pokémon are made ''in Japan'' by Game Freak, '''not''' by TPCi, there's no reason to assume "O LOL CHURCHILL". It's an applebunny Missingno. that takes on the Generation V role of Mew as the "secret guy", like a lot of other Gen V Pokémon take their inspiration from Gen I Pokémon. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:37, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

Straying away from the Churchill argument here, but could the V stand for the roman numeral of 5? As in Generation V? Being that it comes right after Arceus, it's almost like it's there to signify the arrival of the 5th generation. Of course, I may be going to far out on a limb here. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 09:37, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

== Nuke? ==

Unova is based on New York (The Manhattan Project), Victini is fire type to get STAB on the most powerful none-sacrificial move in the game (The atomic bomb's sheer power), and it's PokéDex entries state that any trainer with a Victini will always win (World War II in the pacific was brought to an end with an atomic bombing of Japan). So yeah, like alot of people from other sites seem to be saying, this thing is possibly intended to be based on an atomic bomb in a way. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 22:28, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:The most powerful ''non-sacrificial'' move. If it were truly based on the atomic bomb, it would likely be Steel-type, and almost certainly learn explosion, which is both the most powerful move and clearly represents an explosion. Unova is based on New York, yes, but that does not relate to Victini. Victini is based on the concept of victory, so that is why any Trainer with Victini will always win. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

== Origin Detail ==

It states that Victini may be based off of usagi-ringo, and that this is especially true with the shiny form, but I think that Victini's normal form looks more like it than the shiny form. I think this piece of info should be left out, or it should state that both the shiny form and normal coloration resemble usagi-ringo. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 16:33, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

== Victini is Junichi Masuda's new favorite Pokemon! ==

Thanks to this IGN article ( http://ds.ign.com/articles/115/1150433p1.html ), we now know that Junichi no longer likes Pichu as his favorite and now likes Victini instead. I added this to the trivia already, but I can't put the link to the referrence up properly. Anyone know how to do this?

== Mythical Pokémon? ==
[http://www.pokemonblackwhite.com/en-us/pokemon/victini/ The official site] repeatedly refers to Victini as a "Mythical Pokémon". Is this worth noting on either this page or the [[Legendary Pokémon]] page? The term has already been used in Japan to refer to Sinnoh's legends, but never in English. --[[User:Jda95|jda95]] 06:20, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

== learn signature moves ==

in the Victini event, (Dec 20 to Dec 31) it started with Zekrom's and Resiram's signature move. so does that make the moves make them not a signature move? --use worm wormey! 23:47, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

== Event Quintet??? ==

Perhaps we should group [[Mew]], [[Celebi]], [[Jirachi]], [[Shaymin]] and [[Victini]] into a quintet, as they are the
only 5 [[Pokémon]] to be strictly event-only, besides the [[Mew glitch]]. They all share a base stat total of 600,and are
relatively small in stature. This quintet, of course, would be non-canonical I guess, as they have no connection
(except for they all help [[Nintendo]] keep us from completing our National [[Pokédex|Pokédexes]] :) ). [[User:Pkmn Trainer Red|Pkmn Trainer Red]] 00:07, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
:Celebi can also be obtained via the Celebi Egg Glitch. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 00:11, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
... I wasn't aware of that. Good to know. [[User:Pkmn Trainer Red|Pkmn Trainer Red]] 04:28, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
::You can also get Shaymin by the [[Tweaking]] and [[Surf glitch]]. However, glitches really aren't relevant. What is relevant is that you can get Mew from [[My Pokémon Ranch]] and Jirachi from [[Pokémon Channel]]. Regardless, they are not really a quintet - they just have something in common. I wouldn't call things like the Pidgey, Tailow, Starly and Pidove lines a quintet (include Hoothoot too if you want). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:57, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Pikachu9000: APRIL 18, 2012 USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE

Welcome to my userpage! Yes, I know this isn't much, but a newer, better userpage is still in the development stage. If you don't know what this means, just check my "Userpage Construction Project Update" article on [[User talk:Pikachu9000|my talk page]]. It'll provide you with up-to-date information on the status of my new userpage. Although, if you feel a bit too lazy to click, tap, select, type in the URL, command code, or whatever you do to get to browser pages, I'll provide you all with a status of the construction and a description of that project below. This is essentially the same as the article on my talk page, but modified a bit. So, if you want to stay updated, read one, the other, or both, and (if you want to) add my userpage to your watchlist to get up-to-the-minute updates about my userpage. Although, there is absolutely no obligation to do so, meaning I let you choose whether you do so or not. Anyway, the construction update progress is shown below. Enjoy my page (as much as you can, because it really isn't very impressive by my standards)!
〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]]

== USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE ==

In this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, and replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.
:'''Construction Status & Future Plans:''' Currently, I am still in Phase 1, but it is moving steadily towards Phase 2 without many problems at all. I am still around 62% done, and I am currently adding usertags and such. Once that part of Phase 1 is complete, I will reorganize the tagbox groups, delete the unnecessary and defunct usertags, and then move on to Phase 2. Before I move onto Phase 2, however, I '''WILL''' post my userpage to Bulbapedia and make it public. Afterwards, I will add information about me that belongs outside the tagbox area, which is Phase 2's main goal, and perhaps add some of the little boxes outside the tagbox that are shown on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage. After that is finished, my userpage will be 100% complete and I will make it public, but I will update it every now and again just to keep it updated with my lifestyle. Those updates will not be major updates like this one, but eventually, I might completely rework it to keep "moving with the times," as they say. I will also change some things about the inner workings of my page in order to ensure flawless user operations. But, that's pretty much it. Come back here often for updates (if you want to) and don't forget to '''READ THE FREAKIN' RULES''' on my Usertalk page '''BEFORE POSTING OR EDITING ANYTHING!!!!!''' Well, I don't want to keep you for too long. I mean, there's an entire Pokémon Encyclopedia to edit! Don't you want to help out with it? Anyway, that' pretty much all I have to say. Now don't just stand there! Get back to editing the wiki! See ya! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] (a.k.a. "N" on [http://flipnote.hatena.com/5D5555D0A0F9A35A@DSi/ Hatena], but without quotes)

=='''APRIL 18, 2012 USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE'''==
Since January, I haven't been working on my Userpage Construction Project at all, and I regret that, but I have good reasoning for that as well: I've recently been doing lots of other stuff on some of my other accounts around the Internet, such as my DeviantArt account, my YouTube Channel, and on Flipnote Hatena as well. So as of yet, I am still ~62% done with Phase 1 of the UCP and I now expect to enter Phase 2 in late June to mid-July, 2012. That is, if I can manage to actually focus on it rather than everything else I've been doing lately. (Man, I'm seriously overworking myself!) Anyway, I'm also trying to get good grades in school so that my parents will let me get a really good gaming mouse and gaming headset that I desperately want. And if you're wondering, the headset's the Razer StarCraft II Banshee and the mouse is the Cyborg R.A.T. 7. But anyway, once I get off of school in late June, it'll be smooth sailing from there! Wish me luck and hope for the best!

Insanely yours,

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Your behavior ==

Alright, the type of behavior [[User talk:Pikachu9000#My Response to SuperAipom's Undo of my Removal:|here]] is very frowned upon by our {{bp|Code of conduct}}. It is also against {{bp|Talk page policy#My user talk page|Talk page policy}} to remove any sections from your user page so SuperAipom7 was following the policies. If you want to remove any content from your talk page, it would have to be put in an archive page after the talk page grows a significant amount. Any further behavioral problems can lead you to a block. Thanks. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 01:37, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Please... ==

You've been making too many edits to the User talk: namespace lately. Please try to relocation that attention towards the mainspace, as that many edits will slow down the server.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade). It was also delayed due to the late-October Blizzard, which made me lose Internet for 5 days. I also have a lot of usertags and templates to apply to it. After the usertags are completed, I'll add text to it later on, like MAGNEDETH's Userpage, which I modeled mine after.

== Hello ==
I've removed the section about your userspace construction project because it violates the [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#How should a talk page not be used?|Talk page policy]]. Talk pages are not meant to be used as personal project journals. Please refrain from adding such content in the future. Thank you. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 20:33, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:Alright. I'm fine with that. As long as I can still do that on my Userpage, I'm happy. I mean, I'd hate to lose all of that information that I spent my valuable time creating in the first place. Also, I realized that the two were very similar anyway. But one quick question for you: were you even a little bit interested in it? In my opinion, I think I've been putting a lot of effort into it since it began! I won't be offended if you say no. I just want your honest opinion. Happy editing!

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you.

:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade).

Currently, I have no idea when it'll be revealed, as I had to start over numerous times due to a loss of progress and other such stuff. Although, I saved the wikicode in a Word Document, so I can use that as a backup, but as of today, I don't have much of anything in the vincinity of the term "userspace."

==Userpage Construction Project Update==
This section is made by me, therefore I have full power, authority, and jurisdiction to update this section and change it at will, which I will do every now and again. So I'll give you a briefing on what this so-called "Userpage Construction Project" is all about.
Okay, so in this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, and replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.

:'''Endnote:''' Even if I archive my Talk page between now and my Userpage's completion, I will still have this on my Talk Page. That means that I will have to copy the text from previous updates and paste it into new ones. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Check back here often for updates! [[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 21:37, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

'''APRIL 18 UPDATE:''' Since January, I haven't been working on my Userpage Construction Project at all, and I regret that, but I have good reasoning for that as well: I've recently been doing lots of other stuff on some of my other accounts around the Internet, such as my DeviantArt account, my YouTube Channel, and on Flipnote Hatena as well. So as of yet, I am still ~62% done with Phase 1 of the UCP and I now expect to enter Phase 2 in late June to mid-July, 2012. That is, if I can manage to actually focus on it rather than everything else I've been doing lately. (Man, I'm seriously overworking myself!) Anyway, I'm also trying to get good grades in school so that my parents will let me get a really good gaming mouse and gaming headset that I desperately want. And if you're wondering, the headset's the Razer StarCraft II Banshee and the mouse is the Cyborg R.A.T. 7. But anyway, once I get off of school in late June, it'll be smooth sailing from there! Wish me luck and hope for the best!

Insanely yours,

Just thought i'd point out before it's mentioned on this page, but the shot of a bridge with cars driving underneath ISN'T the first vehicle in a Pokémon game, as most people seem to forget the moving van in the opening of the Hoenn games.

Do '''''not''''' discuss that here. Just like people thought from the get-go that the third version of RS was gonna be a green gem (Emerald) and third version of DP was gonna have Giratina as a mascot (Platinum), people think from the get-go that the third version to Black and White will be Gray. Congratulations! There's a ''forum'' where you can talk about it. Bulbagarden Forums has a fifth generation subforum, and that is easily a better place to put your crappy speculation for a third version to games that don't come out until the end of the year when the ''last'' third version we got took two years after its primaries to be released. And it will be Gray if it is, because "grey" is a synonym for "old". '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

== No walking Pokémon?? ==

So far none of the revealed images show walking Pokémon. Maybe the walking with Pokémon is just optional now but still I would think there would've been some images showing the trainer walking with Pokémon by now. (Show previous generation Pokémon walking to avoid revealing new ones too soon) If there is no walking with Pokémon in this game, I'll be a bit crushed. That feature was so fun in HeartGold and SoulSilver. I mean, these new games can very well use the Pokemon sprites from HG/SS. But if the feature is to be revealed as included in the future, would it be worth mentioning that it's the first Pokémon game with a walk with Pokémon feature that makes the feature optional? (Option to recall/send out Pokemon manually) --[[User:Brats817|Brats817]] 10:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia: Catching version mascot? ==

The Trivia section states that the game requires the player to catch Reshiram/Zekrom in order to continue the plot ... but back in ''Ruby/Sapphire'' the player had to fight Groudon or Kyogre as part of the story, and in ''HeartGold/SoulSilver'' the player is required to battle their version mascot before they can surf out of New Bark Town and proceed towards Victory Road.

So does this mean the player is specifically required to ''catch'' their version mascot, and not merely face it in a battle? If so, Black/White are indeed the first generation to do this, but as the US release isn't for another few months, that's just a guess and I could be wrong. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 07:32, 20 January 2011 (UTC)''

== Pokemon Black and White getting new features on the 3DS? ==

As we know now, the the 3DS has been released in Japan (http://ds.ign.com/articles/115/1152699p1.html). I remember reading back on IGN that Pokemon Black and White would get more features than just the DSi's features only if played on the 3DS instead (can't find the page to link to, but I swear I saw something like that). Has anyone actually tested Black or White on a 3DS to see if anything gets added? I know the games have Infrared, but the 3DS only has that. If we find 3DS exclusive features, maybe we could note that in the article somewhere. [[User:RedLuigi|RedLuigi]] 00:29, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
:IGN was wrong. The creators of the games confirmed there were no 3DS features. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 05:32, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
::I believe that it has the same enhancements that it has on [[Nintendo DSi]] and [[Nintendo DSi XL]], where it uses the camera, and this is where the misconception came from. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:36, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Ah, I see now. No wonder I couldn't find the article for it, IGN probably deleted it after realizing their mistake. [[User:RedLuigi|RedLuigi]] 16:40, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== 3rd March ==

It should also be added that people who pre-ordered early online with GAME in the UK got their copy of the game today (in most cases) [[User:Daniel1993|Daniel1993 used to be Robbo5002]] 19:40, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
:No it shouldn't. It's very common for some people to get the games early. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 20:05, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== White and Black? Where did that come from? ==

''"These games are being advertised as "White and Black" instead of Black and White at Toys "R" Us."''

Um, I work at Toys "R" Us, and I can tell you that this is certainly not the case. They're being advertised as "Black and White", just like they are everywhere else. I even have a promotional display from Toys "R" Us that I got to take home that I'm looking at right now, and guess what is says? Not "White and Black".

And even if that was true, it seems like rather useless trivia, much like most of the trivia on this wiki... Seriously, a page shouldn't have 30 lines of trivia.

== Probably not worth it in the trivia section but.. ==

This probably isn't worth noting in the trivia section (and we don't have an {{redlink|Instruction Booklet}} article), but on page 28 of the NA White version instruction booklet it has a spelling mistake - it says "informaiton" instead of "information". Thought I'd point that out in case someone finds it trivia worthy. [[User:Xxcom9a|Xxcom9a]] 02:27, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

::And it's not the case for the American Pokémon Black Version either. You mean the red text on the bottom, right? --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 17:44, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Regarding the Blacklist of names... ==

It seems to be unchanged from the Japanese version, which only covers words up to 5 letters long. IE: I was able to name my Purrloin 'Asshole' because I wanted to test if it was updated. It doesn't look like it was. It sort of makes the blacklist ineffective. [[User:Yabukuron|Yabukuron]] 22:54, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Uncheatable ==

I'm not sure, but this may be trivia worthy. My Action Reply DSi doesn't seem to work with White or Black (on a side note, White doesn't even really fit). Anyway, I tried to use my Action Replay to make a Wild Togekiss appear (I got bored) but when I clicked "Boot game with codes" it just froze. Trivia worthy as being uncheatable?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 01:33, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== Maniacs ==

I was wondering if it would be useful to have a page on the various Maniacs found around Unova. '''Not''' the trainer class(es), but those guys who buy sellable items at a higher price, and each has an item that only they'll buy (for eg, the mushroom maniac buys all Mushroom items for twice(?) their usual value, and BalmMushroom for 25,000). I'm not nearly competent enough at Wiki editing to make the page myself though - [[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 14:47, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

== Volbeat ==

As Illumise is found in exclusively White, I would assume that Volbeat is exclusive to Black? The "Exclusive to Black Version" list is one Pokémon shorter than the "Exclusive to White Version" list, and that wouldn't make sense. I don't have Black Version, so I can't test this.

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Emboar is an enormous, bulky, boar-like Fire-type Pokémon. It has short legs, a small tail ending in a tuft of hair and a small dome shaped head with no neck. Its egg shaped torso makes up most of its body. It has two powerful arms, which grow wider towards its fists with tufts of fur on the elbows. Constantly burning flames wreath the front of its neck and shoulders resembling a traditional Chinese center-parted beard. It has a red pig-like nose and large bushy black eyebrows that sweep up at the sides like horns or ears. Two tusks protrude from its lower jaw, jutting out at the corners of its wide mouth. Its forearms begin orange in coloration, with the coloration of the upper and lower arms separated by gold-colored bands. The lower arms and elbows are black, the wrists have bands of dark red coloration, and the hands are tipped with three claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar sports swirled yellow features, and its legs and lower underside are red, although its feet are black-colored, rimmed in a spiky manner with gold, and ending in two-toed claws.

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

===Special abilities===
Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire to launch {{m|Fire Punch}}es. It uses its power and speed to master {{type|Fighting}} moves.

===Behavior===
Emboar cares deeply about its allies.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Tatsuki Emboar.png|thumb|right|Emboar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

Emboar will make its TV debut in [[BW072]] under the ownership of {{an|Bianca}}.

===Minor appearances===
Emboar appeared in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', under the ownership of [[Tatsuki]]. It fought [[Ash's Oshawott]], which it lost to, in a tournament held in [[Eindoak Town]]. [[Iris's Emolga]] also battled the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon only to forfeit the battle when {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} used {{m|Volt Switch}} and sent out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} instead, which caused [[Iris|Iris's]] loss because substitutions were not allowed during the tournament battles.

==In the manga==

===Origin===
Emboar is based on the soldier of {{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> It and its pre-evolutions, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese style, it may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale {{wp|Journey to the West}}. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on another character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design as well as the same typing. It seems to also take inspirations of a {{wp|pig}} or {{wp|boar}} in a {{wp|professional wrestler}}'s or possibly a {{wp|lucha libre}}'s attire. The swirled pattern that surrounds its abdomen is visually similar to the patterns on {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

====Name origin====
"Emboar" is derived from ''ember'' and ''boar''. "Enbuoh" may have the same origin, or it may also be derived from the words 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig) or 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), and 王 ''ō'' (king).

==Third version==
Before anyone else decides to talk about it, yeah, I'm pretty much gonna guarantee it being the mascot of BW's third version. No further discussion on this. Until we get the announcement and boxart. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:28, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
:Unfair. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_with_unique_type_combinations&action=historysubmit&diff=1189335&oldid=1189330 I already did that].--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:41, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

What will be the name of the third game?
- Pokémon White Version Reshiram
- Pokémon Black Version Zekrom
- Pokémon Grey Version Kyurem

It could be, don't ya think?Sakas 19:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC)SakasFixe
:Didn't TTE just say "no further discussion on this"? That's speculation and belongs on the forums, not here. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 19:14, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

You are bad for people. You want something related to "discussion" you'll have it: Where is the Official artwork of Ken Sugimori? Happy? {{unsigned|SakasFixe}}
:There is no Sugimori artwork yet for the non-pre-release Pokemon. But that doesn't belong here on Kyurem's talk. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 22:41, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

==Norse==
"It may also be based on the {{wp|Wyvern}} of {{wp|Norse}} mythology, said to wreck havoc in {{wp|Ragnarök}}, the end of the world, should it melt from the ice it was imprisoned in."

That's what I've been told. Anyone able to confirm/dismiss that? {{unsigned|Yurtablemoron}}
:Nope, not true. - [[User:050294|050294]] 14:32, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

That's basically what Reshiram is (minus the ice) [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

I agree with the norsh myth theory also perhaps it has connections to Fimbulvetr? The harsh winter where men will wage ceaseless war against each other
and brothers will kill each other= the two brothers using Regish and Zec sound plausible? [[User:Frosslass|Frosslass]] 12:47, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

==Overworld Sprite==
I don't think this sentence in the physiology section is necessary: "It should be noted that on its overworld sprite, the left part of its overall bodyparts is somehow broken and smaller than the right part." The smaller part is correct, sure, but it isn't broken--it's just smaller because of the perspective. Same goes for its forward-facing battle sprite. At the very least, "overall bodyparts" should be changed to just "body." [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 03:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

== Feelings? ==

Out of curiosity, how is Kyurem a "Feelings Pokémon"? I think that 境界 ''kyoukai'' (boundary) would make more sense than 胸懐 ''kyoukai'' (heart/feelings). Though, there's the possibility that "Kyoukai" could be from 鏡 ''kyou'' (mirror) and 灰 ''kai'' (gray/grey/ash/griseous). [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 08:34, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

:The in-game description, according to Veekun, is きょうかい . Compare it to Reshiram's はくよう (white yang) and Zekrom's こくいん (black yin), and we may find something. [[User:Eriorguez|Eriorguez]] 06:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

== Kyurem Origin ==

As Zekrom and Reshiram are both based on types of energy, is it possible that Kyurem is based on {{wp|Cold Fusion}}? --[[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 07:06, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
:Sigh... Cold Fusion has nothing to do with ice. It's a theoretical variation on a typical fusion reaction which can be done at or near ROOM TEMPERATURE. I removed this origin already, but it keeps getting added. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 10:52, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Kyurem's page says that it '''is''' an extraterrestrial Pokemon. But it isn't expressly stated that he arrived on that meteor- it's only a legend, same as Clefairy. Neither is there any mention of Kyurem's name in the game when discussing it. Shouldn't it say "'''may be''' an extraterrestrial Pokemon", or something similar? [[User:Soma K.|Soma K.]] 21:22, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

== Kyurem's Tail Resembles..... ==
- Reshiram's Tail resembles a Jet Engine
- Zekrom's Tail resembles an Electric Generator

But we still don't know what Kyurem's tail looks like. Any ideas?[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 02:25, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks like a glacure.[[User:WWWAJG|WWWAJG]] 22:09, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

== Pokemon.jp Pokedex pic ==

I'm thinking it would be a good replacement for the current infobox picture, which not only is tiny, but comes up all pixellated in its file description area. I can't extract from a Flash-based site or upload here, but I know there's people who can. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] 19:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== National PokeDex ==

Other than the event legendarie, Kyurem (And Landorus), according the the guide books, are NOT required to complete the National PokeDex. Why it is like this is what I d0on't lnow, since Kyurem can be caught in any copy of B/W, and Landorus not being required is also unusual because Tornadus and Thundurus are, which both ultimately unlock Landorus anyways. Would it be worth trivia for both of them? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 14:50, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

== shiny sprite ==

Kyurem is grey and it's shiny sprite is -black and white- with the eye color being a combined version of Zekrom's red eyes and Reshiram's blue eyes, notable? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 19:11, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
: I don't think, but wait for more opinions --[[User:SamuStar|SamuStar]] 21:05, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

== New Movie? ==

Oha Suta has revealed a teaser trailer for a movie, it appears that Kyurem and the Musketeer Quartet will be in it.

*We know, its in Kyurem's 'In the anime' section. and the page is already being made: [[M15]] {{unsigned|AquaMaster}}

== Ideals, truth and dreams. ==

Drayden told me the third one (dreams) is also in this row (so it would be Kyurem's one). Adding? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 16:24, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
:Still speculation at the moment. Better to leave it out until is is officially associated with dreams. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:40, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

== Imprison Level ==

Do you consider it noteworthy that the levels at which Kyurem (and by extension Reshiram and Zekrom) attempt(s) to learn Imprison are 8 and 64? 8² = 64 and so the root of 64 is eight. Since the games draw some inspiration from mathematics, as seen in N, N's Themes and the boats in Castelia City this might be programmed in intentionally.

[[User:Renoir|Renoir]] 23:19, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

== New Forms ==

Looks like Kyurem gets two new forms: [[Image:M15_poster.png|thumb]] [[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 23:21, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
:It's been confirmed that the formes are Black Kyurem and White Kyurem.

== Trivia ==
"There is placeholder data for an alternate form of Kyurem in Pokémon Black and White. There was the same type of placeholder data for Rotom, Giratina, and Shaymin in Diamond and Pearl." - Could an admin expand on this now, explaining how its two new forms have been revealed? ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 09:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I also think it would be worth noting that Kyurem is the first Pokemon to be the version mascot of two games in the same generation.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 12:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:Oh and of course editing the top of the page to say he is the version mascot of both Black 2 and White 2.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 13:03, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

== Art Descriptions ==

For Kyurem's alternate formes, why does it say "Art by Ken Sugimori from Black 2", etc.? For every other released Pokémon, it says something like "Art by Ken Sugimori from Ruby ''and Sapphire''", even for a version exclusive like Groudon. [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 21:30, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
:Mostly because I was confused by the switch. D: There would be three image switches, and two different captions. I didn't want it to end up with BW art and saying "Art from Black and White 2", and I also didn't want to be redundant and have Black White 2 be listed twice. But I have nothing against someone using both titles for the artworks.

==Placeholder==
In the trivia, what do you mean by "placeholder data for alternative formes"? [[User:RedYoshi|RedYoshi]] 22:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Kyurem had no alternate forms in BW, when a pokemon has no alternate forms they are given a value of Zero in that "section", Kyurem had a Value of one implying that we would see more forms.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 22:46, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

Pikachu9000: Changing my first signature to my actual one, which includes a link to my talk page.

Welcome to my userpage! Yes, I know this isn't much, but a newer, better userpage is still in the development stage. If you don't know what this means, just check my "Userpage Construction Project Update" article on [[User talk:Pikachu9000|my talk page]]. It'll provide you with up-to-date information on the status of my new userpage. Although, if you feel a bit too lazy to click, tap, select, type in the URL, command code, or whatever you do to get to browser pages, I'll provide you all with a status of the construction and a description of that project below. This is essentially the same as the article on my talk page, but modified a bit. So, if you want to stay updated, read one, the other, or both, and (if you want to) add my userpage to your watchlist to get up-to-the-minute updates about my userpage. Although, there is absolutely no obligation to do so, meaning I let you choose whether you do so or not. Anyway, the construction update progress is shown below. Enjoy my page (as much as you can, because it really isn't very impressive by my standards)!
〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]]

== USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE ==

In this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, and replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.
:'''Construction Status & Future Plans:''' Currently, I am still in Phase 1, but it is moving steadily towards Phase 2 without many problems at all. I am still around 62% done, and I am currently adding usertags and such. Once that part of Phase 1 is complete, I will reorganize the tagbox groups, delete the unnecessary and defunct usertags, and then move on to Phase 2. Before I move onto Phase 2, however, I '''WILL''' post my userpage to Bulbapedia and make it public. Afterwards, I will add information about me that belongs outside the tagbox area, which is Phase 2's main goal, and perhaps add some of the little boxes outside the tagbox that are shown on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage. After that is finished, my userpage will be 100% complete and I will make it public, but I will update it every now and again just to keep it updated with my lifestyle. Those updates will not be major updates like this one, but eventually, I might completely rework it to keep "moving with the times," as they say. I will also change some things about the inner workings of my page in order to ensure flawless user operations. But, that's pretty much it. Come back here often for updates (if you want to) and don't forget to '''READ THE FREAKIN' RULES''' on my Usertalk page '''BEFORE POSTING OR EDITING ANYTHING!!!!!''' Well, I don't want to keep you for too long. I mean, there's an entire Pokémon Encyclopedia to edit! Don't you want to help out with it? Anyway, that' pretty much all I have to say. Now don't just stand there! Get back to editing the wiki! See ya! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] (a.k.a. "N" on Hatena, but without quotes)

Pikachu9000: /* Champion? */ Smoothing out some rough areas

==Create==
So, why isn't there anything here? You could just put the basic stuff that is known about N, and a good picture, lock it, and that would make sure it's not flooded with speculation. I just feel like it seems very odd to have [[Bel]] and [[Cheren]] but not N. --[[User:ArcLumin|ArcLumin]] 23:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

Ah. Hadn't noticed it, it doesn't come up very high on a site search. --[[User:ArcLumin|ArcLumin]] 23:16, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

::Makes sense. Although there may be conflicting articles when BW gets released. Oh well, it's not a big deal. --[[User:ArcLumin|ArcLumin]] 23:26, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

==Missing Battle==
You're missing a battle between Raimon City and the final match. I fought him in the Magnetic Cave and he used a team including Giar and Denchura's pre-evo. Wish I could give you more but that's what I remember. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 02:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== Legendaries ==

-does a double take at that- um, shouldn't there be some trivia on his article about him being the only trainer not part of some battle facility to use Legendary Pokémon against the player or something?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 05:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
:Well there is [[Greevil]]..but that doesn't count now does it? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:42, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== To settle it once and for all! ==
Like --The Great Butler said, there is another missing battle with N which takes place at route 6, in the cave. His team is: [[Gantoru]] lv. 28, [[Bachuru]] lv. 28, [[Giaru]] lv. 28 and [[Tesshido]] lv. 28. Here is a video of the battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehV6YGzcPJc&feature=related. Now could Someone PLEASE add this to the article? [[User:TheBlackPokemonMaster]]
:You have to understand that we need not only the Pokemon he uses, but their entire movesets, too. We'll get to it when we get to it. I'm almost there in my game, so I'll do it then if someone doesn't beat me to it. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

== Champion? ==

It's never said in the game if he ever won this title. It seems he only battled Adeku and did not battle the Elite Four before and that he didn't want to be a Champion, as he wanted to make every trainer release their Pokémon after his victory over Adeku. But he did defeat all of Adeku's team and them claimed to be way stronger than the champion. Also, it isn't show the moment of registration of your team into the Hall of Fame, but the PC does register the team of your first time clearing the Pokémon League... So I have this doubt about his status when you last meet N.[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 08:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:He's not the Champ...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 08:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::Of course he is! He's awesome! Not the Pokémon League Champion though. I agree with you there, but I actually felt like I bonded with him as the game went on, especially because we got stronger together, we both owned one of the two legendary dragons (even though now I own all three dragons in the Tao Trio), and I considered us somewhat as "Rivals." Similar to Ash and Bianca/Satoshi and Bel in the anime, we both got stronger as trainers at the same time and we both traveled on different journeys: Mine was to become the Pokémon Champion, a feat I still haven't accomplished, and his was to liberate Pokémon, even though that was part of Ghetsis's elaborate plan to take over the Unova Region. But long story short, I don't think N ever was the Unova League Champion, but I considered him as a close friend and rival and could technically call him "the Champ" if I wanted to, but I never use that term, so I don't. [[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 04:24, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trainer Sprite ==

Hmm... {look look look} Correct me if I'm wrong/rude, but was it not agreed upon that although Pokémon sprites were to remain animated .png files (and as such static in some browsers), Trainer sprites would be animated .jpeg files (and as such animated in ''most'' browsers)? {{unsigned|Giratina's Embodiment}}

:.jpeg/.jpg do not and never have been animated. I think you meant .gif. This sprite isn't even animated, it's just a normal static sprite. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 23:56, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I KNEW I got the wrong file type! Anyways, sorry, I noticed that although N has animated sprites ingame, the picture was inanimate, and since it was a .png, I came to the logical (although incorrect) conclusion that it was an animated .png, hence why it wouldn't animate in IE.[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 00:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== Harmonia ==

I found this name in several Japanese websites and the Japanese Wikipedia and mentioned something it about N's surname. Is this confirmed? [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 13:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
*I personally can confirm Geechisu mentions the "Harmonia Lineage" in his pre-battle rant, so I'd say it's confirmed. [[User:Carrottime|Carrottime]] 23:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Please Expand N's Bio in the games. ==

''N exists as an antagonistic character, appearing before the player at several points during the game to battle. Despite his aspirations, he refers to Pokémon as "friends".''

I say this needs to be expanded. It's very short and needs more clarification on how his childhood goes, how his father made him the leader of Team Plasma and how his father is using him for his schemes. It needs to be more clarified.[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 01:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

==English name==
I'm pretty sure his English name was confirmed as N. I noticed that it was added to the intro and removed. Why is this? [http://pokebeach.com/news/1210/pokemon-black-white-display-box.jpg This image] clearly lists his name as N. Or is this because the name N is not matched to this character, despite it clearly being him. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
:See [[Talk:Pansage (Pokémon)#Protect/Rename?|here]] [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
::I did. "N" is clearly written in the text, not distorted like the elemental monkeys' names. Besides, the big difference between that situation and this is that this does not require moving. Moving pages then relinking everything is a long process, and it is not good if it turns out to be wrong (especially for Pokémon). For this, it is adding 8 characters to the page (including the space and bolding). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:26, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

==Plasma Spoiler==
Is there a way we could change the opening sentences of this article to remove references to Team Plasma? I mean, yeah, him being the leader isn't the real spoiler among other things, but he's not linked to Team Plasma until his 3rd battle with the player or so, right? Could we change it to be like "N is a trainer in Black and White who battles the player regularly" or something to that effect?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 01:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:It's spoiled in the opening that he's part of Team Plasma (it contains Ghetsis and the Team Plasma logo, which are seen in Accumula Town before you even meet N). As for being the leader, being crowned by them implies that he is at least very high ranking. Regardless, Bulbapedia does not generally avoid spoilers, other than with {{cat|soft redirects}} and the {{template|spoiler}} template, which is now at the start of this article. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::Also, I think that people who avoid spoilers simply don't read Bulbapedia articles on such character. We're an encyclopedia, our informations are supposed to be complete. Someone who reads Bulbapedia should know the risk of being spoiled. We're not an official-ish website that gives just superficial teaser informations about the games. We're an encyclopedia. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:46, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Well if we're using a spoiler template at the top, would anyone else think it wise to change his name to N Harmonia? Ghetsis does mention that they share the same name, even if it turns out they aren't related. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 10:09, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::::But N obviously isn't his full name, so I wouldn't do that. If we ever get to know his real first name, I think a move would be possible. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:11, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::::I think it should be mentioned in the opening paragraph that his surname is Harmonia, but I agree with Maxim that we don't know that N is his first name (and I believe I read somewhere that it is confirmed to stand for something). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Last battle team order ==

Since he uses Zoroak order of his team is important. I'm certain that his Zoroark was disguised as Klinklang in my battle with him, which means it's in his last slot. — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 15:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:That was the case for me as well. The way the page had it had me thinking it would be disguised as Vanilluxe. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 19:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Technically, the champion ==

N does battle the Elite Four to get to Alder; they comment on how the player certainly isn't the first challenger they fought that day, and N does defeat Alder fair and square (enough to make Alder beg N to reconsider his goal). While he is not "proclaimed" champion and doesn't take the title, he's still as much a champion as the player is after beating champions in past games. This much should at least be acknowledged. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:35, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

== "You said you have a dream..." ==

Conjecture: N's last words vary depending on how you answered when he asked you if you had a dream at Chargestone Cave. If you said "yes," you get the scripts currently given in the article; if you said "no," in White you get what was in the article prior to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=N&diff=1410834&oldid=1409461 this edit], and in Black you get the script that I wrote down in my playthrough:

Dream your dream!

Follow the path of truth to make that
dream a reality, and someday
you will achieve all that you dreamed of!

Well, then...

Farewell!

This would explain the discrepancies between the various last words given in the article (and the one I have). Can anyone check if this theory is correct? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 02:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:It is correct. The article lacks the two "No" scripts you refer to, in order to include all four scripts for the two scenarios. [[User:Nechifor|Nechifor]] 09:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

The name for 'N' could mean more than just the Latin letter; N's frequent mathematical references in his speech (such as formulas) suggest an origin to the common variable given to the set of natural numbers (see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number ). What to make of a connection between N and natural numbers is speculation (although they go to infinity much like the surface area of his Menger sponge on his belt), but would it be fair enough to at least add to his name origin that this refers to a common variable used in mathematics? [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 00:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== En Harmonia ==
"N Harmonia" sounds (exactly) like "en harmonia," which is Spanish (and probably a few other romance languages) for "in harmony." Could this be the name origin? ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 22:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:"{{wp|enharmonic}}" is already listed as an origin. It's more likely than the Spanish for "in harmony," seeing as his theme is composed almost entirely of enharmonics. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

== How do you know that he's Ghetsis' son or relative? ==

I don't think that it was even stated in the game. I'm temporarily removing that sentence that says that he's Ghetsis' only son till I see some proof. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 04:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:[[Ghetsis#At N's Castle]]. First quote in the "After N is defeated" bullet point. Generally, and the way he's saying it, having the same last name implies that they are related. Also, if N is not Ghetsis's biological son, he is his adopted son. "Father" does not explicitly have to mean a biological relationship. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Well we could change the sentence around a little bit. Besides we're not quite sure that he is 'directly' related to N as the game did not state that. One of the Seven Sages also said this despite the quote from Ghetsis' that you showed me. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::: Actually N is his son. I'm playing the Japanese version of Pokemon Black, and in the castle the word Ghetsis uses to adress him is 'musuko' (息子) (even though he puts 'me' right after it, giving it a very rude, derogatory edge). This word is only used for your own son (otherwise it would be 'musuko-san') and does not have a secondary meaning like the English word 'son'. You do not throw it around, unless you really mean it; and considering the fact that Ghetsis was enraged at this point in the game, it's quite surprising he didn't deny him, given his character (but where would the plot twist be then?); and even if he had been pretending, there was no reason for him at this point to keep his façade up. Just the fact he used this word, even though he clearly didn't think highly of N, says a whole world about their relations. I don't remember N saying 'Father' anywhere in the game though.[[User:Frundan|Frundan]] 10:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

== N's eyes ==

at N's coronation, it clearly shows his eyes are blue. it is the only color that cannot be argued with solid evidence.

people say his eyes are green. not once have i seen an official picture where his eyes are that color. i myself am unsure where that came from.

others say they're gray. it seems that way, yes, but is it not because there is always a shadow over his eyes? even on the manga cover N is shadowed so that his eyes appear gray.

but like i said, in the coronation scene, it shows a close-up of them blue as the sky. i have yet to find a reason why they would appear that way if they were any other color.

[[User:.beautiful.intentions|.beautiful.intentions]] 04:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Yes, Harmonia again! ==

If the Japanese Games state that they are father and son (as stated above), then should that be definitive? The English hints at it, but never goes into it, and at the moment, when I hover over the word "father", about six lines worth of text comes up. Would it be better to have:

'''Relatives''' | [[Ghetsis]] ({{tt|Father|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

And likewise on Ghetsis's article:

'''Relatives''' | [[N]] ({{tt|Son|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

It's not too important, just an idea. I doubt we'll get a better understanding until the third game (if there will be one), and I didn't want to do it without running through the talk first. [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 12:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
:I agree. This is a similar situation to {{ga|Silver}} and [[Giovanni]], where in the Japanese games it is confirmed, but only hinted in the English games.

== N eyes are officially Blue/Gray ==

I enlarged and colour-picked the one in the article and they are grey; the same colour is used in his mugshot and in the official illustrations from the artwork released with the game by Ken Sugimori and the same colour is used in Pokemon Special. In the sprite his eyes are covered by his hairbangs so his pupils are only a single black pixel.

You can see Ken Sugimori artworks [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227070 here] and [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227065 here], you can see the ones in the article compared [http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4318/neyes.png here]

== Champion? ==

It's never said in the game if he ever won this title. It seems he only battled Adeku and did not battle the Elite Four before and that he didn't want to be a Champion, as he wanted to make every trainer release their Pokémon after his victory over Adeku. But he did defeat all of Adeku's team and them claimed to be way stronger than the champion. Also, it isn't show the moment of registration of your team into the Hall of Fame, but the PC does register the team of your first time clearing the Pokémon League... So I have this doubt about his status when you last meet N.[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 08:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:He's not the Champ...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 08:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
::Of course he is! He's awesome! Not the Pokémon League Champion though. I agree with you there, but I actually felt like I bonded with him as the game went on, especially because we got stronger together, we both owned one of the two legendary dragons (even though now I own all three dragons in the Tao Trio), and I considered us somewhat as "Rivals." Similar to Ash and Bianca/Satoshi and Bel in the anime, we both got stronger as trainers at time and we both traveled on different journeys: Mine was to become the Pokémon Champion, a feat I still haven't accomplished, and his was to liberate Pokémon, even though that was part of Ghetsis's elaborate plan to take over the Unova Region. But long story short, I don't think N ever was the Unova League Champion, but I considered him as a close friend and rival and could technically call him "the Champ" if I wanted to, but I never use that term, so I don't.

== Trainer Sprite ==

Hmm... {look look look} Correct me if I'm wrong/rude, but was it not agreed upon that although Pokémon sprites were to remain animated .png files (and as such static in some browsers), Trainer sprites would be animated .jpeg files (and as such animated in ''most'' browsers)? {{unsigned|Giratina's Embodiment}}

:.jpeg/.jpg do not and never have been animated. I think you meant .gif. This sprite isn't even animated, it's just a normal static sprite. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 23:56, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I KNEW I got the wrong file type! Anyways, sorry, I noticed that although N has animated sprites ingame, the picture was inanimate, and since it was a .png, I came to the logical (although incorrect) conclusion that it was an animated .png, hence why it wouldn't animate in IE.[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 00:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== Harmonia ==

I found this name in several Japanese websites and the Japanese Wikipedia and mentioned something it about N's surname. Is this confirmed? [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 13:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
*I personally can confirm Geechisu mentions the "Harmonia Lineage" in his pre-battle rant, so I'd say it's confirmed. [[User:Carrottime|Carrottime]] 23:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Please Expand N's Bio in the games. ==

''N exists as an antagonistic character, appearing before the player at several points during the game to battle. Despite his aspirations, he refers to Pokémon as "friends".''

I say this needs to be expanded. It's very short and needs more clarification on how his childhood goes, how his father made him the leader of Team Plasma and how his father is using him for his schemes. It needs to be more clarified.[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 01:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

==English name==
I'm pretty sure his English name was confirmed as N. I noticed that it was added to the intro and removed. Why is this? [http://pokebeach.com/news/1210/pokemon-black-white-display-box.jpg This image] clearly lists his name as N. Or is this because the name N is not matched to this character, despite it clearly being him. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
:See [[Talk:Pansage (Pokémon)#Protect/Rename?|here]] [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
::I did. "N" is clearly written in the text, not distorted like the elemental monkeys' names. Besides, the big difference between that situation and this is that this does not require moving. Moving pages then relinking everything is a long process, and it is not good if it turns out to be wrong (especially for Pokémon). For this, it is adding 8 characters to the page (including the space and bolding). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:26, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

==Plasma Spoiler==
Is there a way we could change the opening sentences of this article to remove references to Team Plasma? I mean, yeah, him being the leader isn't the real spoiler among other things, but he's not linked to Team Plasma until his 3rd battle with the player or so, right? Could we change it to be like "N is a trainer in Black and White who battles the player regularly" or something to that effect?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 01:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:It's spoiled in the opening that he's part of Team Plasma (it contains Ghetsis and the Team Plasma logo, which are seen in Accumula Town before you even meet N). As for being the leader, being crowned by them implies that he is at least very high ranking. Regardless, Bulbapedia does not generally avoid spoilers, other than with {{cat|soft redirects}} and the {{template|spoiler}} template, which is now at the start of this article. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::Also, I think that people who avoid spoilers simply don't read Bulbapedia articles on such character. We're an encyclopedia, our informations are supposed to be complete. Someone who reads Bulbapedia should know the risk of being spoiled. We're not an official-ish website that gives just superficial teaser informations about the games. We're an encyclopedia. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:46, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Last battle team order ==

Since he uses Zoroak order of his team is important. I'm certain that his Zoroark was disguised as Klinklang in my battle with him, which means it's in his last slot. — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 15:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 19:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Technically, the champion ==

N does battle the Elite Four to get to Alder; they comment on how the player certainly isn't the first challenger they fought that day, and N does defeat Alder fair and square (enough to make Alder beg N to reconsider his goal). While he is not "proclaimed" champion and doesn't take the title, he's still as much a champion as the player is after beating champions in past games. This much should at least be acknowledged.

== "You said you have a dream..." ==

Conjecture: N's last words vary depending on how you answered when he asked you if you had a dream at Chargestone Cave. If you said "yes," you get the scripts currently given in the article; if you said "no," in White you get what was in the article prior to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=N&diff=1410834&oldid=1409461 this edit], and in Black you get the script that I wrote down in my playthrough:

Dream your dream!

Follow the path of truth to make that
dream a reality, and someday
you will achieve all that you dreamed of!

Well, then...

Farewell!

This would explain the discrepancies between the various last words given in the article (and the one I have). Can anyone check if this theory is correct? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 02:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:It is correct. The article lacks the two "No" scripts you refer to, in order to include all four scripts for the two scenarios. [[User:Nechifor|Nechifor]] 09:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

The name for 'N' could mean more than just the Latin letter; N's frequent mathematical references in his speech (such as formulas) suggest an origin to the common variable given to the set of natural numbers (see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number ). What to make of a connection between N and natural numbers is speculation (although they go to infinity much like the surface area of his Menger sponge on his belt), but would it be fair enough to at least add to his name origin that this refers to a common variable used in mathematics? [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 00:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== En Harmonia ==
"N Harmonia" sounds (exactly) like "en harmonia," which is Spanish (and probably a few other romance languages) for "in harmony." Could this be the name origin? ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 22:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:"{{wp|enharmonic}}" is already listed as an origin. It's more likely than the Spanish for "in harmony," seeing as his theme is composed almost entirely of enharmonics. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

== How do you know that he's Ghetsis' son or relative? ==

I don't think that it was even stated in the game. I'm temporarily removing that sentence that says that he's Ghetsis' only son till I see some proof. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 04:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:[[Ghetsis#At N's Castle]]. First quote in the "After N is defeated" bullet point. Generally, and the way he's saying it, having the same last name implies that they are related. Also, if N is not Ghetsis's biological son, he is his adopted son. "Father" does not explicitly have to mean a biological relationship. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Well we could change the sentence around a little bit. Besides we're not quite sure that he is 'directly' related to N as the game did not state that. One of the Seven Sages also said this despite the quote from Ghetsis' that you showed me. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::: Actually N is his son. I'm playing the Japanese version of Pokemon Black, and in the castle the word Ghetsis uses to adress him is 'musuko' (息子) (even though he puts 'me' right after it, giving it a very rude, derogatory edge). This word is only used for your own son (otherwise it would be 'musuko-san') and does not have a secondary meaning like the English word 'son'. You do not throw it around, unless you really mean it; and considering the fact that Ghetsis was enraged at this point in the game, it's quite surprising he didn't deny him, given his character (but where would the plot twist be then?); and even if he had been pretending, there was no reason for him at this point to keep his façade up. Just the fact he used this word, even though he clearly didn't think highly of N, says a whole world about their relations. I don't remember N saying 'Father' anywhere in the game though.[[User:Frundan|Frundan]] 10:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

== N's eyes ==

at N's coronation, it clearly shows his eyes are blue. it is the only color that cannot be argued with solid evidence.

people say his eyes are green. not once have i seen an official picture where his eyes are that color. i myself am unsure where that came from.

others say they're gray. it seems that way, yes, but is it not because there is always a shadow over his eyes? even on the manga cover N is shadowed so that his eyes appear gray.

but like i said, in the coronation scene, it shows a close-up of them blue as the sky. i have yet to find a reason why they would appear that way if they were any other color.

[[User:.beautiful.intentions|.beautiful.intentions]] 04:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Yes, Harmonia again! ==

If the Japanese Games state that they are father and son (as stated above), then should that be definitive? The English hints at it, but never goes into it, and at the moment, when I hover over the word "father", about six lines worth of text comes up. Would it be better to have:

'''Relatives''' | [[Ghetsis]] ({{tt|Father|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

And likewise on Ghetsis's article:

'''Relatives''' | [[N]] ({{tt|Son|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

It's not too important, just an idea. I doubt we'll get a better understanding until the third game (if there will be one), and I didn't want to do it without running through the talk first. [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 12:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

== N eyes are officially Blue/Gray ==

I enlarged and colour-picked the one in the article and they are grey; the same colour is used in his mugshot and in the official illustrations from the artwork released with the game by Ken Sugimori and the same colour is used in Pokemon Special. In the sprite his eyes are covered by his hairbangs so his pupils are only a single black pixel.

You can see Ken Sugimori artworks [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227070 here] and [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227065 here], you can see the ones in the article compared [http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4318/neyes.png here]

I agree with you there, but I actually felt like I bonded with him as the game went on, especially because we got stronger together, we both owned one of the two legendary dragons (even though now I own all three dragons in the Tao Trio), and I considered us somewhat as "Rivals." Similar to Ash and Bianca/Satoshi and Bel in the anime, we both got stronger as trainers at time and we both traveled on different journeys: Mine was to become the Pokémon Champion, a feat I still haven't accomplished, and his was to liberate Pokémon, even though that was part of Ghetsis's elaborate plan to take over the Unova Region. But long story short, I don't think N ever was the Unova League Champion, but I considered him as a close friend and rival and could technically call him "the Champ" if I wanted to, but I never use that term, so I don't.

== Technically, the champion ==

N does battle the Elite Four to get to Alder; they comment on how the player certainly isn't the first challenger they fought that day, and N does defeat Alder fair and square (enough to make Alder beg N to reconsider his goal). While he is not "proclaimed" champion and doesn't take the title, he's still as much a champion as the player is after beating champions in past games. This much should at least be acknowledged.

== "You said you have a dream..." ==

Conjecture: N's last words vary depending on how you answered when he asked you if you had a dream at Chargestone Cave. If you said "yes," you get the scripts currently given in the article; if you said "no," in White you get what was in the article prior to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=N&diff=1410834&oldid=1409461 this edit], and in Black you get the script that I wrote down in my playthrough:

Dream your dream!

Follow the path of truth to make that
dream a reality, and someday
you will achieve all that you dreamed of!

Well, then...

Farewell!

This would explain the discrepancies between the various last words given in the article (and the one I have). Can anyone check if this theory is correct? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 02:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

The name for 'N' could mean more than just the Latin letter; N's frequent mathematical references in his speech (such as formulas) suggest an origin to the common variable given to the set of natural numbers (see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number ). What to make of a connection between N and natural numbers is speculation (although they go to infinity much like the surface area of his Menger sponge on his belt), but would it be fair enough to at least add to his name origin that this refers to a common variable used in mathematics? [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 00:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== En Harmonia ==
"N Harmonia" sounds (exactly) like "en harmonia," which is Spanish (and probably a few other romance languages) for "in harmony." Could this be the name origin? ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 22:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

== How do you know that he's Ghetsis' son or relative? ==

:[[Ghetsis#At N's Castle]]. First quote in the "After N is defeated" bullet point. Generally, and the way he's saying it, having the same last name implies that they are related. Also, if N is not Ghetsis's biological son, he is his adopted son. "Father" does not explicitly have to mean a biological relationship. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Well we could change the sentence around a little bit. Besides we're not quite sure that he is 'directly' related to N as the game did not state that. One of the Seven Sages also said this despite the quote from Ghetsis' that you showed me. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::: Actually N is his son. I'm playing the Japanese version of Pokemon Black, and in the castle the word Ghetsis uses to adress him is 'musuko' (息子) (even though he puts 'me' right after it, giving it a very rude, derogatory edge). This word is only used for your own son (otherwise it would be 'musuko-san') and does not have a secondary meaning like the English word 'son'. You do not throw it around, unless you really mean it; and considering the fact that Ghetsis was enraged at this point in the game, it's quite surprising he didn't deny him, given his character (but where would the plot twist be then?); and even if he had been pretending, there was no reason for him at this point to keep his façade up. Just the fact he used this word, even though he clearly didn't think highly of N, says a whole world about their relations. I don't remember N saying 'Father' anywhere in the game though.[[User:Frundan|Frundan]] 10:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

== N's eyes ==

at N's coronation, it clearly shows his eyes are blue. it is the only color that cannot be argued with solid evidence.

people say his eyes are green. not once have i seen an official picture where his eyes are that color. i myself am unsure where that came from.

others say they're gray. it seems that way, yes, but is it not because there is always a shadow over his eyes? even on the manga cover N is shadowed so that his eyes appear gray.

but like i said, in the coronation scene, it shows a close-up of them blue as the sky. i have yet to find a reason why they would appear that way if they were any other color.

== Yes, Harmonia again! ==

If the Japanese Games state that they are father and son (as stated above), then should that be definitive? The English hints at it, but never goes into it, and at the moment, when I hover over the word "father", about six lines worth of text comes up. Would it be better to have:

'''Relatives''' | [[Ghetsis]] ({{tt|Father|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

And likewise on Ghetsis's article:

'''Relatives''' | [[N]] ({{tt|Son|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

I enlarged and colour-picked the one in the article and they are grey; the same colour is used in his mugshot and in the official illustrations from the artwork released with the game by Ken Sugimori and the same colour is used in Pokemon Special. In the sprite his eyes are covered by his hairbangs so his pupils are only a single black pixel.

You can see Ken Sugimori artworks [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227070 here] and [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227065 here], you can see the ones in the article compared [http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4318/neyes.png here]

It's never said in the game if he ever won this title.

But he did defeat all of Adeku's team and them claimed to be way stronger than the champion.

:::::I think it should be mentioned in the opening paragraph that his surname is Harmonia, but I agree with Maxim that we don't know that N is his first name (and I believe I read somewhere that it is confirmed to stand for something). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I... didn't actually mean to move the page, I just intended for the opening paragraph and infobox to be updated, like Ghetsis. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 10:43, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Last battle team order ==

Since he uses Zoroak order of his team is important. I'm certain that his Zoroark was disguised as Klinklang in my battle with him, which means it's in his last slot. — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 15:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:That was the case for me as well. The way the page had it had me thinking it would be disguised as Vanilluxe. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 19:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Technically, the champion ==

N does battle the Elite Four to get to Alder; they comment on how the player certainly isn't the first challenger they fought that day, and N does defeat Alder fair and square (enough to make Alder beg N to reconsider his goal). While he is not "proclaimed" champion and doesn't take the title, he's still as much a champion as the player is after beating champions in past games. This much should at least be acknowledged. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:35, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

== "You said you have a dream..." ==

Conjecture: N's last words vary depending on how you answered when he asked you if you had a dream at Chargestone Cave. If you said "yes," you get the scripts currently given in the article; if you said "no," in White you get what was in the article prior to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=N&diff=1410834&oldid=1409461 this edit], and in Black you get the script that I wrote down in my playthrough:

Dream your dream!

Follow the path of truth to make that
dream a reality, and someday
you will achieve all that you dreamed of!

Well, then...

Farewell!

This would explain the discrepancies between the various last words given in the article (and the one I have). Can anyone check if this theory is correct? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 02:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:It is correct. The article lacks the two "No" scripts you refer to, in order to include all four scripts for the two scenarios. [[User:Nechifor|Nechifor]] 09:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

The name for 'N' could mean more than just the Latin letter; N's frequent mathematical references in his speech (such as formulas) suggest an origin to the common variable given to the set of natural numbers (see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number ). What to make of a connection between N and natural numbers is speculation (although they go to infinity much like the surface area of his Menger sponge on his belt), but would it be fair enough to at least add to his name origin that this refers to a common variable used in mathematics? [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 00:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== En Harmonia ==
"N Harmonia" sounds (exactly) like "en harmonia," which is Spanish (and probably a few other romance languages) for "in harmony." Could this be the name origin? ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 22:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:"{{wp|enharmonic}}" is already listed as an origin. It's more likely than the Spanish for "in harmony," seeing as his theme is composed almost entirely of enharmonics. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

== How do you know that he's Ghetsis' son or relative? ==

I don't think that it was even stated in the game. I'm temporarily removing that sentence that says that he's Ghetsis' only son till I see some proof. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 04:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:[[Ghetsis#At N's Castle]]. First quote in the "After N is defeated" bullet point. Generally, and the way he's saying it, having the same last name implies that they are related. Also, if N is not Ghetsis's biological son, he is his adopted son. "Father" does not explicitly have to mean a biological relationship. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Well we could change the sentence around a little bit. Besides we're not quite sure that he is 'directly' related to N as the game did not state that. One of the Seven Sages also said this despite the quote from Ghetsis' that you showed me. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::: Actually N is his son. I'm playing the Japanese version of Pokemon Black, and in the castle the word Ghetsis uses to adress him is 'musuko' (息子) (even though he puts 'me' right after it, giving it a very rude, derogatory edge). This word is only used for your own son (otherwise it would be 'musuko-san') and does not have a secondary meaning like the English word 'son'. You do not throw it around, unless you really mean it; and considering the fact that Ghetsis was enraged at this point in the game, it's quite surprising he didn't deny him, given his character (but where would the plot twist be then?); and even if he had been pretending, there was no reason for him at this point to keep his façade up. Just the fact he used this word, even though he clearly didn't think highly of N, says a whole world about their relations. I don't remember N saying 'Father' anywhere in the game though.[[User:Frundan|Frundan]] 10:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

== N's eyes ==

at N's coronation, it clearly shows his eyes are blue. it is the only color that cannot be argued with solid evidence.

people say his eyes are green. not once have i seen an official picture where his eyes are that color. i myself am unsure where that came from.

others say they're gray. it seems that way, yes, but is it not because there is always a shadow over his eyes? even on the manga cover N is shadowed so that his eyes appear gray.

but like i said, in the coronation scene, it shows a close-up of them blue as the sky. i have yet to find a reason why they would appear that way if they were any other color.

:: I checked the opening. And they are indeed blue. And it's kinda hard to tell what color they are in the artwork.

sorry, i'm still not seeing green there at all, and still dont get how you can get green from any of the official pictures of him. and i think silver's eyes are only red there to match the color scheme at that particular point of the opening.

[[User:.beautiful.intentions|.beautiful.intentions]] 04:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Yes, Harmonia again! ==

If the Japanese Games state that they are father and son (as stated above), then should that be definitive? The English hints at it, but never goes into it, and at the moment, when I hover over the word "father", about six lines worth of text comes up. Would it be better to have:

'''Relatives''' | [[Ghetsis]] ({{tt|Father|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

And likewise on Ghetsis's article:

'''Relatives''' | [[N]] ({{tt|Son|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

It's not too important, just an idea. I doubt we'll get a better understanding until the third game (if there will be one), and I didn't want to do it without running through the talk first. [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 12:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
:I agree. This is a similar situation to {{ga|Silver}} and [[Giovanni]], where in the Japanese games it is confirmed, but only hinted in the English games. Sure, Giovanni and Silver are father and son in Adventures too, but that isn't why we do that the way we do. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

== N eyes are officially Blue/Gray ==

I enlarged and colour-picked the one in the article and they are grey; the same colour is used in his mugshot and in the official illustrations from the artwork released with the game by Ken Sugimori and the same colour is used in Pokemon Special. In the sprite his eyes are covered by his hairbangs so his pupils are only a single black pixel.

You can see Ken Sugimori artworks [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227070 here] and [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227065 here], you can see the ones in the article compared [http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4318/neyes.png here]

There is no official illustration that depicts him with Green eyes.[[User:LurKasumi|LurKasumi]] 07:32, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

He excels at maths enough to be called a magician of mathematics. A genius. Quick-witted. Has extreme mood swings. He can see the past and future of persons. There are rumours that perhaps he was born from a Pokémon. (Parents are unknown.) He loves Pokémon plenty, keeps distance from humans. He believes himself to be perfect. His ideology is to always put pokemon first and foremost. Since he is so unwordly, he's been feared by humans. Therefore, he has a very strong connection to Pokémon. --to here-- etcetera, etcetera..."

:It was never revealed. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 16:51, 18 October 2011 (UTC)
::I'm personally guessing that he's around 14-16 years old. Maybe 17, judging by his excellence of mathematics and his philosophical views of humans. Someone younger than that probably wouldn't be able to understand that, unless they were like, Albert Einstein or someone like that.

Pikachu9000: My first userpage, even though it is pretty lame....

Welcome to my userpage! Yes, I know this isn't much, but a newer, better userpage is still in the development stage. If you don't know what this means, just check my "Userpage Construction Project Update" article on [[User talk:Pikachu9000|my talk page]]. It'll provide you with up-to-date information on the status of my new userpage. Although, if you feel a bit too lazy to click, tap, select, type in the URL, command code, or whatever you do to get to browser pages, I'll provide you all with a status of the construction and a description of that project below. This is essentially the same as the article on my talk page, but modified a bit. So, if you want to stay updated, read one, the other, or both, and (if you want to) add my userpage to your watchlist to get up-to-the-minute updates about my userpage. Although, there is absolutely no obligation to do so, meaning I let you choose whether you do so or not. Anyway, the construction update progress is shown below. Enjoy my page (as much as you can, because it really isn't very impressive by my standards)!
〜Pikachu9000

== USERPAGE CONSTRUCTION UPDATE ==

In this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, and replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.
:'''Construction Status & Future Plans:''' Currently, I am still in Phase 1, but it is moving steadily towards Phase 2 without many problems at all. I am still around 62% done, and I am currently adding usertags and such. Once that part of Phase 1 is complete, I will reorganize the tagbox groups, delete the unnecessary and defunct usertags, and then move on to Phase 2. Before I move onto Phase 2, however, I '''WILL''' post my userpage to Bulbapedia and make it public. Afterwards, I will add information about me that belongs outside the tagbox area, which is Phase 2's main goal, and perhaps add some of the little boxes outside the tagbox that are shown on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage. After that is finished, my userpage will be 100% complete and I will make it public, but I will update it every now and again just to keep it updated with my lifestyle. Those updates will not be major updates like this one, but eventually, I might completely rework it to keep "moving with the times," as they say. I will also change some things about the inner workings of my page in order to ensure flawless user operations. But, that's pretty much it. Come back here often for updates (if you want to) and don't forget to '''READ THE FREAKIN' RULES''' on my Usertalk page '''BEFORE POSTING OR EDITING ANYTHING!!!!!''' Well, I don't want to keep you for too long. I mean, there's an entire Pokémon Encyclopedia to edit! Don't you want to help out with it? Anyway, that' pretty much all I have to say. Now don't just stand there! Get back to editing the wiki! See ya! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|Pikachu]][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] (a.k.a. "N" on Hatena, but without quotes)

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

What you posted on the talk page was unneeded. We aren't Yahoo answers. We are an encyclopedia. Thanks. :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 22:36, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
:Okay. I was going to delete the topic anyway because I found the video I needed, so I guess that's pretty much it. Have a nice day!

==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind from now on. 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 18:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Your behavior ==

Alright, the type of behavior [[User talk:Pikachu9000#My Response to SuperAipom's Undo of my Removal:|here]] is very frowned upon by our {{bp|Code of conduct}}. It is also against {{bp|Talk page policy#My user talk page|Talk page policy}} to remove any sections from your user page so SuperAipom7 was following the policies. If you want to remove any content from your talk page, it would have to be put in an archive page after the talk page grows a significant amount. Any further behavioral problems can lead you to a block. Thanks. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 01:37, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Please... ==

You've been making too many edits to the User talk: namespace lately. Please try to relocation that attention towards the mainspace, as that many edits will slow down the server. Plus the mainspace should always be your main focus. --[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 19:02, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade). It was also delayed due to the late-October Blizzard, which made me lose Internet for 5 days. I also have a lot of usertags and templates to apply to it. After the usertags are completed, I'll add text to it later on, like MAGNEDETH's Userpage, which I modeled mine after. Currently, I have no idea when it'll be revealed, as I had to stert over numerous times due to a loss of progress and other such stuff. Although, I saved the wikicode in a Word Document, so I can use that as a backup, but as of today, I don't have much of anything in the vincinity of the term "userspace." That's how much progress I have on it: virtually nothing! I'll work on it later today, and I thank you for your concern, and if you'd like, I'll keep you posted with any updates to my Userspace. Thanks for your concern! [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 21:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

==Userpage Construction Project Update==
This section is made by me, therefore I have full power, authority, and jurisdiction to update this section and change it at will, which I will do every now and again. So I'll give you a briefing on what this so-called "Userpage Construction Project" is all about.
Okay, so in this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, and replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.

:'''Endnote:''' Even if I archive my Talk page between now and my Userpage's completion, I will still have this on my Talk Page. That means that I will have to copy the text from previous updates and paste it into new ones. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Check back here often for updates!

Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts pertaining to sprites on Bulbapedia. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum]. Please also read the [[Bulbapedia:Project SpriteDex/To-do list|to-do list]].

==Project SpriteDex==
===Scope and aims===
Project SpriteDex aims to complete and perfect Bulbapedia's sprite library. In short, any links where images should be must be replaced with the proper image, and any sprites with white backgrounds must be made transparent. Whenever the next generation of Pokémon games is released, the project will focus its attention on the new sprites.

Project SpriteDex also aims to get animated sprites for games this applies to; currently the main series games with animated Pokémon sprites are Pokémon Crystal, Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions. While GIF is currently used for the Crystal and Emerald sprites, eventually the support for this old format will be dropped in favor of animated PNG images.

One more aspect of Project SpriteDex is to get every sprite in Bulbagarden Archives to be correctly categorized. There are still many sprites without the correct templates added to their pages.

===Participants===
To join the project, simply add your name to the bottom of this list:

* '''{{u|UltimateSephiroth}} {{tt|(Hover to see the merits)|Jap RG sprite flipping, Y transparency/flipping, G transparency/size fixing and RS transparency/size fixing}}''' - Project Leader

I will also see if I can upload animated sprites for BW, ect., and I would help convert the Crystal sprites to PNG if needed.

===Structure===
Much of this project's work will involve the [[a:Main Page|Bulbagarden Archives]]. Please make sure you know how to upload and replace images properly before doing so.

====Regular Pokémon sprites====
The correct format to categorize regular Pokémon sprites (the ones starting with "Spr") is as follows:
<nowiki>==Summary==
{{gamesprite|Dex|Name|Sprite type|Game(s)|The additional S for "versions", if applies}}
==Licensing:==
{{i-Fairuse-sprite-game}}</nowiki>
* Dex is the National Pokédex number for the Pokémon.
* Name is the English name for the Pokémon, or if the English name of the Pokémon is not known yet, this is the name the Pokémon article at Bulbapedia has.
* Sprite type tells what kind of sprite it is. There are several different types, which are as follows:
** all - This one goes for every regular sprite of Generations I to III, and for those regular sprites that apply to both genders in Generation IV.
** shiny - This is for sprites of {{shiny}} sprites with no gender differences.
** male - This is for Generation IV sprites' male versions.
** shiny male - The above one with shininess.
** female - The same as above, only with female versions.
** shiny female - You can guess this one.
* Game(s) are the versions the sprite is from, for example "Platinum" or "FireRed and LeafGreen".
* Add an S to the last parameter, if you put paired games to the Game(s) part. Otherwise you may omit the last parameter.

If the sprite is used in multiple games (counting paired games as one game), put one copy of the gamesprite template for each of the games.

If the sprite is animated PNG, add the <tt><nowiki>{{anipng}}</nowiki></tt> template to the description.

====Goals====
# To provide sprites of every Pokémon for every [[Generation]]
# To change all nontransparent sprites to transparent
# To make sure each sprite is correct in terms of size, orientation, etc.

[[User:UltimateSephiroth/Sprites|This page]] can be used to check which ones are missing, incorrect, or non-transparent.
WARNING! The link above contains thousands of images, so make sure your browser can handle the loading.

====Other templates====
* {{Template|Project SpriteDex notice}} - This template may be posted when sprite work is completed on an article, but it is not required.
{{Project SpriteDex notice}}

* {{Template|User Project SpriteDex}} - This template is for project participants to place in their user profile.

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Emboar is an enormous, bulky, boar-like Fire-type Pokémon. It has short legs, a small tail ending in a tuft of hair and a small dome shaped head with no neck. Its egg shaped torso makes up most of its body. It has two powerful arms, which grow wider towards its fists with tufts of fur on the elbows. Constantly burning flames wreath the front of its neck and shoulders resembling a traditional Chinese center-parted beard. It has a red pig-like nose and large bushy black eyebrows that sweep up at the sides like horns or ears. Two tusks protrude from its lower jaw, jutting out at the corners of its wide mouth. Its forearms begin orange in coloration, with the coloration of the upper and lower arms separated by gold-colored bands. The lower arms and elbows are black, the wrists have bands of dark red coloration, and the hands are tipped with three claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar sports swirled yellow features, and its legs and lower underside are red, although its feet are black-colored, rimmed in a spiky manner with gold, and ending in two-toed claws.

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

===Special abilities===
Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire to launch {{m|Fire Punch}}es. It uses its power and speed to master {{type|Fighting}} moves.

===Behavior===
Emboar cares deeply about its allies.

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Tatsuki Emboar.png|thumb|right|Emboar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

===Minor appearances===
Emboar appeared in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]'', under the ownership of [[Tatsuki]]. It fought [[Ash's Oshawott]], which it lost to, in a tournament held in [[Eindoak Town]]. [[Iris's Emolga]] also battled the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon only to forfeit the battle when {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} used {{m|Volt Switch}} and sent out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} instead, which caused [[Iris|Iris's]] loss because substitutions were not allowed during the tournament battles.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Carola Burst.png|thumb|150px|right|Emboar burst in [[Pokémon RéBURST]]]]
{{adv|Black}} owns an Emboar, nicknamed [[Chao]].

* Emboar is the only starter Pokémon that has a different Hidden Ability from its evolutionary relatives.
* Emboar is the only Pokémon that has its English [[species]] name written in three words.

** Emboar is tied with {{p|Sceptile}} for the lowest {{stat|Defense}} of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
** Emboar also has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Although its Pokédex entry states that it uses fire punches to fight, Emboar is unable to learn {{m|Fire Punch}}.

* The {{p|Tepig}} family is the only Fire-type starter family where no members have English names that start with the letter "C"; or contain it, for that matter.

===Origin===
Emboar is based on the soldier of {{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> It and its pre-evolutions, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese style, it may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale {{wp|Journey to the West}}. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on another character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design as well as the same typing. It seems to also take inspirations of a {{wp|pig}} or {{wp|boar}} in a {{wp|professional wrestler}}'s or possibly a {{wp|lucha libre}}'s attire. The swirled pattern that surrounds its abdomen is visually similar to the patterns on {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

====Name origin====
"Emboar" is derived from ''ember'' and ''boar''. "Enbuoh" may have the same origin, or it may also be derived from the words 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig) or 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), and 王 ''ō'' (king).

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

== [[BW022]] ==

What you posted on the talk page was unneeded. We aren't Yahoo answers. We are an encyclopedia. Thanks. :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 22:36, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
:Okay. I was going to delete the topic anyway because I found the video I needed, so I guess that's pretty much it. Have a nice day!

:〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 23:05, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind from now on. 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 18:53, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Your behavior ==

Alright, the type of behavior [[User talk:Pikachu9000#My Response to SuperAipom's Undo of my Removal:|here]] is very frowned upon by our {{bp|Code of conduct}}. It is also against {{bp|Talk page policy#My user talk page|Talk page policy}} to remove any sections from your user page so SuperAipom7 was following the policies. If you want to remove any content from your talk page, it would have to be put in an archive page after the talk page grows a significant amount. Any further behavioral problems can lead you to a block. Thanks. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 01:37, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind from now on. 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 18:52, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Please... ==

You've been making too many edits to the User talk: namespace lately. Please try to relocation that attention towards the mainspace, as that many edits will slow down the server. Plus the mainspace should always be your main focus. --[[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 19:02, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade). It was also delayed due to the late-October Blizzard, which made me lose Internet for 5 days. I also have a lot of usertags and templates to apply to it. After the usertags are completed, I'll add text to it later on, like MAGNEDETH's Userpage, which I modeled mine after. Currently, I have no idea when it'll be revealed, as I had to stert over numerous times due to a loss of progress and other such stuff. Although, I saved the wikicode in a Word Document, so I can use that as a backup, but as of today, I don't have much of anything in the vincinity of the term "userspace." That's how much progress I have on it: virtually nothing! I'll work on it later today, and I thank you for your concern, and if you'd like, I'll keep you posted with any updates to my Userspace. Thanks for your concern! [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 21:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

==Userpage Construction Project Update==
This section is made by me, therefore I have full power, authority, and jurisdiction to update this section and change it at will, which I will do every now and again. So I'll give you a briefing on what this so-called "Userpage Construction Project" is all about.
Okay, so in this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, a↓nd replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1. Date and Time of Last Userpage wikicode change: Saturday, January 7, 2011 at 4:31 PM (EST). I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012.

:'''Endnote:''' Even if I archive my Talk page between now and my Userpage's completion, I will still have this on my Talk Page. That means that I will have to copy the text from previous updates and paste it into new ones. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Check back here often for updates!

== Ciao! ==

I'd like to talk you about the Finnish titles for one more time. The last time I contacted you, I actually lied, because I still had some Finnish Battle Frontier titles left. Now I'm sure that we now have every Finnish title of every Finnish dubbed episodes of Pokémon (I also keep filling the new titles as they come out). But I spotted one weird thing: I no matter how I searched, the titles of [[AG178]]-[[AG183]] and [[AG186]]-[[AG187]] remained undubbed. I'm a bit confused: the article [[Pokémon in Finland]] says that these episodes should have been dubbed, but there is no sign of dubbed titles. I know a Finnish user who has connections to behind the scenes (some kind of), but he/she isn't always active, and he/she is now having a "brake", so I turned to you. I don't know if you know anything about this, but I still try. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, they have been dubbed and released once in MTV3 Juniori; I have also seen them all. However, I don't have the titles.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:42, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Why did you delete and Image I uploaded? [[User:Pikatwig|Pikatwig]] 05:22, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
:Okay, first Dennou doesn't have powers to delete the images. Second, you uploaded an image with .jpg extension while the image upload form clearly says "''.png for sprites, screenshots, icons, diagrams, and simple images''". Along with that, the image was small 342 x 192 and its quality wasn't good either. That is why it was deleted.

== Jessie's Wobbuffet's gender ==

Recently, I asked on the talk page for [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] where and how its gender was confirmed, as you [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Jessie%27s_Wobbuffet&diff=1514127&oldid=1514122 seemed to imply that there was solid proof] of Wobbuffet being male, and not just due to gender differences. In response, {{u|Force Fire}} changed it back to "Unknown", and said on the talk page that its gender wasn't confirmed, that gender differences didn't apply due to Wobbuffet entering the main cast before Generation IV, and that its crush on Kirlia didn't count as those can be either gender. So... I'm a little confused here. IS Wobbuffet confirmed male? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 01:47, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
:I assumed that its gender being male was accepted by Umeko, SnorlaxMonster, PsychicRider and Adyniz as they edited the page without removing it. But likely they just didn't notice it.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 13:36, 3 November 2011 (UTC)

== good point==
In the talk for ep 263, you make a good point about the Aaron Carter mention, however, the reason why I believe what it says is merely that Aaron and Magby sound the same, which I would guess is how the editor of that article recognized it. I woulden't know about horribly written, my screen reader reads eveything exactly the same, "Bullet magby, starting in Address Unown" is what it says to me, just to fill you in. Now i'm curious, if it wasn't Aaron Carter, who did those voices that it mentions? doesn't say at all. [[User:Christian Woods|Christian Woods azu azumarill!]] 22:13, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

== I Don't Want to Start an Edit War, but... ==

Hi DZ. I recently saw that you undid my edit to the mainspace article on the Pokédex, and in the summary, it said, "unfortunately, that doesn't fit this site". I was just wondering, in your eyes, why does it not? I just wanted to give the people that are new to Pokémon video games a way to find out how to use the Pokédex, since it is an essential asset for any and all Pokémon Trainers. Also, I had something similar to the section that you removed in one of my previous edits to the page, which was removed a few weeks later. I was actually kinda sad about that, and as a result, I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks a little while back due to that and other factors. So I'm wondering: Why does it not "fit this site" in your eyes and how can I make it so that it does, if possible? Thanks!

== Ciao! ==

I'd like to talk you about the Finnish titles for one more time. The last time I contacted you, I actually lied, because I still had some Finnish Battle Frontier titles left. Now I'm sure that we now have every Finnish title of every Finnish dubbed episodes of Pokémon (I also keep filling the new titles as they come out). But I spotted one weird thing: I no matter how I searched, the titles of [[AG178]]-[[AG183]] and [[AG186]]-[[AG187]] remained undubbed. I'm a bit confused: the article [[Pokémon in Finland]] says that these episodes should have been dubbed, but there is no sign of dubbed titles. I know a Finnish user who has connections to behind the scenes (some kind of), but he/she isn't always active, and he/she is now having a "brake", so I turned to you. I don't know if you know anything about this, but I still try. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:25, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Hey, I've been meaning to ask someone, so I thought I'd ask you. What do those green positive numbers and red negative numbers mean, regaring the things in my watchlist? [[User:Kynexn|Kynexn]] 13:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
:They mean {{wp|byte}} change of the page. Generally, one character is one byte and one Japanese or another special character is three bytes. For example, your edit on this page added 238 bytes, so the number on your watchlist would be {{color|{{green color dark}}|(+238)}}.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 13:19, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

:::I would question whether we should count that as a name then. I don't know about the Japanese name, but in the English version Newton says "distorted world", not Distortion World.

::::In the original version, the Reverse Word is referred to as やぶれた世界, which is the Japanese name for Distortion World.

== Notes and Wiki-styles ==

Regarding your revert in [[Johto Route 45]], I would like to point out that the data had once been the way I edited it to be now, but someone had changed it to the false figures. By adding the note, we eliminate the possibility of someone changing them back thinking that there has just been a typo. IMHO opinions should not be more important than what is practical, this Wiki is a source of information, not a piece of art. --[[User:Black Eagle|Black Eagle]] 17:33, 9 October 2011 (UTC) EDIT: Also, there are numerous notes on individual Pokemons that say "This type combination is unique only to this Pokemon"...how does this differ from "This pond behaves differently from all other ponds in the game." --[[User:Black Eagle|Black Eagle]] 17:35, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
:Come to think of it, it wasn't necessary to revert you edit fully. However, saying ''"Even though it seems unlikely and inaccurate"'' on an article isn't really appropriate.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:47, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

Were the kanji for the [[Ghost World]] actually used in closed captioning or something?

In response, {{u|Force Fire}} changed it back to "Unknown", and said on the talk page that its gender wasn't confirmed, that gender differences didn't apply due to Wobbuffet entering the main cast before Generation IV, and that its crush on Kirlia didn't count as those can be either gender.

In the talk for ep 263, you make a good point about the Aaron Carter mention, however, the reason why I believe what it says is merely that Aaron and Magby sound the same, which I would guess is how the editor of that article recognized it.

== I Don't Want to Start an Edit War, but... ==

Hi DZ. I recently saw that you undid my edit to the mainspace article on the Pokédex, and in the summary, it said, "unfortunately, that doesn't fit this site". I was just wondering, in your eyes, why does it not? I just wanted to give the people that are new to Pokémon video games a way to find out how to use the Pokédex, since it is an essential asset for any and all Pokémon Trainers. Also, I had something similar to the section that you removed in one of my previous edits to the page, which was removed a few weeks later. I was actually kinda sad about that, and as a result, I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks a little while back due to that and other factors. So I'm wondering: Why does it not "fit this site" in your eyes and how can I make it so that it does, if possible? Thanks!

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

==Talk Page Comments==
Removing talk page comments, including the initial welcome template, is prohibited per Bulbapedia's {{bp|talk page policy}}. Please do not remove any comments in the future. If you wish to clean old comments away, you should archive your talk page instead. Thank you! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 01:34, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Your behavior ==

Alright, the type of behavior [[User talk:Pikachu9000#My Response to SuperAipom's Undo of my Removal:|here]] is very frowned upon by our {{bp|Code of conduct}}. It is also against {{bp|Talk page policy#My user talk page|Talk page policy}} to remove any sections from your user page so SuperAipom7 was following the policies. If you want to remove any content from your talk page, it would have to be put in an archive page after the talk page grows a significant amount. Any further behavioral problems can lead you to a block. Thanks. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''Pikachu!''']] 01:37, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

== Please... ==

You've been making too many edits to the User talk: namespace lately. Please try to relocation that attention towards the mainspace, as that many edits will slow down the server.

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:51, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade). It was also delayed due to the late-October Blizzard, which made me lose Internet for 5 days. I also have a lot of usertags and templates to apply to it. After the usertags are completed, I'll add text to it later on, like MAGNEDETH's Userpage, which I modeled mine after. Currently, I have no idea when it'll be revealed, as I had to stert over numerous times due to a loss of progress and other such stuff. Although, I saved the wikicode in a Word Document, so I can use that as a backup, but as of today, I don't have much of anything in the vincinity of the term "userspace." That's how much progress I have on it: virtually nothing! I'll work on it later today, and I thank you for your concern, and if you'd like, I'll keep you posted with any updates to my Userspace. Thanks for your concern! [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|9000]] 21:07, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

==Userpage Construction Project Update==
This section is made by me, therefore I have full power, authority, and jurisdiction to update this section and change it at will, which I will do every now and again. So I'll give you a briefing on what this so-called "Userpage Construction Project" is all about.
Okay, so in this project of mine, there are two (2) phases. The first phase is for adding usertags and colors to my userpage. The second phase is for adding text outside of the tagbox to my userpage. My userpage layout is based off of '''[[User:MAGNEDETH/Main Mess|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH/Trades|NE]][[User:MAGNEDETH/Moves|DETH]]''''s userpage, but I will remove all tags, colors, and text, a↓nd replace it with my own, only because I don't know enough about wikicode editing to make my own layout. I give full credit to him for the layout, even though I'm changing it completely.

:'''History:''' Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project began on November 22, 2011 after a few failed attempts at making it in previous projects. That is the same project that is underway as of now. I left Bulbapedia for a few weeks to take care of other things in my life, like school, Flipnote Hatena, and other things. During this time, no progress on the project was made, but it was still underway nonetheless. During my Bulbapedia hiatus, I spent time advertising my upcoming userpage on other services that I use. And that brings us to the date of the most recent progress made to my Userpage Construction Project, January 7, 2012. A progress update is shown below. ↓↓↓
:'''Progress Update:''' As of January 7, 2012, I am in Phase 1 of my Userpage Construction Project, which is to add Usertags and colors to my userpage. Phase 2, which is to be commenced after the completion of Phase 1, will handle the text outside of the Tagbox. Currently, I am approximately 62% done with Phase 1 and, unless something goes wrong, I expect to enter Phase 2 sometime around mid- to late-May, 2012. Even if I archive my Talk page between now and my Userpage's completion, I will still have this on my Talk Page. That means that I will have to copy the text from previous updates and paste it into new ones. Anyway, that's pretty much it. Check back here often for updates!

Pokédex

2012-01-07T19:46:39Z

Pikachu9000: /* How to Operate the Unova Pokédex */

{{Redirect|Zukan|Japanese figures named after the Pokédex|Pokémon Zukan figures}}

[[File:Pokédex BW.png|thumb|right|250px|Pokédex in Black and White]]

The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') was created by [[Professor Oak]] as an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different medias. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries are typically only two- or three-sentence bits of information about the Pokémon referred to. In some events it gives background information on the habitat or activities of this Pokémon in the wild; at other times it gives other bits of information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. The information included is important info on the Pokémon, height, weight (once obtained), cry, other forms, a few sentences about the Pokémon, and a picture of the Pokémon.

==Functions==
In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete database of information on every Pokémon, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the Trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle (or a few special exceptions in Gen IV, such as seeing a picture), but detailed entries are not recorded until the player catches the Pokémon or acquires it in a trade.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide a lot of detail that would otherwise be unexplored in the games.

====Generation I====
[[File:RBYPokedex.png|thumb|right|The main interface of the first Pokédex model]]
In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries were simple and each individual section could be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main part, was called Data, and included an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, [[species]], Height, Weight, and a short blurb. The second part was called [[Cry]], and selecting that would simply play the Pokémon's cry. The last part was called Area, and would display the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon could be found. In cases where the Pokémon was not available in the [[Wild Pokémon|wild]], was only available [[Legendary Pokémon|once]], or could only be found by [[fishing]] or in [[Cerulean Cave]], the message "Area Unknown" would be displayed over the center of the map instead. The {{pkmn|Yellow Version}} allowed players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].

{{clear}}
====Generation II====
[[File:JohtoDex.png|thumb|left|Johto's Pokédex (model HANDY808), as seen in {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}}]]
[[Generation II]] retained the same elements as its predecessor, while adding the Pokémon's [[footprint]] to the information, and, like Yellow, allowing players to print entries. Unlike Generation I, selecting a Pokémon displayed the entry in a new screen from which the other sections could be selected. This became the norm for each subsequent generation.

In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply displayed an unmarked map.
{{clear}}
====Generation III====
[[File:PokedexHoennView.png|thumb|right|Viewing the Hoenn Pokédex in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:FRLGPokedex.png|thumb|left|Viewing the Kanto Pokédex (numerical mode) in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}]]
[[Generation III]]'s Pokédex did not add anything to the main entry, however, Cry was given its own page, which would display the soundwave as it played. In addition, the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of marking them and could now display the locations of Pokémon caught by fishing. A Size section was added, which displayed silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side.

[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displayed entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its box sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen.
{{clear}}

====Generation IV====
[[File:Platinum National Pokédex.png|thumb|left|150px|{{p|Giratina}} in the Platinum National Pokédex]]
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|right|150px|{{p|Pidgey}} in the Generation IV Johto Pokédex]]
[[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910is) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only Type. Area would now change its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found on land or in water, and the player could view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which put the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allowed players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they'd already seen.

[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] changed the formatting again, now by displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting to view details, players could view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaulted to the current time or differentiated between land and water, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this.
{{clear}}

====Generation V====

[[File:BW dex entries.png|thumb|right|Viewing the Unova Pokédex in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}]]
The [[Generation V]] Pokédex is similar to the Pokédex from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is displayed as a list on the right side of the lower screen with the selected Pokémon's sprite occuping the left side. Most of its functions are also similar to [[Generation IV]]'s. Instead of showing the time of day that a Pokémon can be caught, as in Generation IV, the Pokédex shows the seasons in which it can be found. Areas in which the Pokémon can be found flash red, and touching an area will show the methods by which it can be caught (walking in [[tall grass]], [[surfing]], or [[fishing]]). The height and weight comparison feature has been removed, but a section showing form differences and a search feature are added by [[Cedric Juniper]] when the player visits [[Mistralton City]]. The form difference section will now show [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well as form differences. The last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. If the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can select a language for that Pokémon's entry. The search function has also been improved with the ability to search Pokémon by color as well as the older criteria. The cry page has been added again as well.

=====How to Operate the Unova Pokédex=====
When first starting up the Pokédex function, the DS system will show an image of the Unova Pokédex as it would appear closed: The single screen on the top screen of the DS and the design on the lower screen. By either waiting 5 seconds, tapping the touchscreen, or by pressing the A button, the player can turn on the Pokédex, showing an animation on the DS screens of the Pokédex opening and revealing its top screen. After the animation stops briefly, the picture shown on the DS will expand, making it appear as if the Pokédex screens are turning on. If the player first started up the game and did not view the Pokédex since the game session started, the first Pokémon with Unova Pokédex data would be shown. For example, if the first Pokémon with Unova Pokédex data was [[Tepig]], then Tepig's image would be shown when the Pokédex reaches its list of Pokémon. This does not apply for Pokémon that were introduced before Gen. V, even if National Mode is enabled. If the Pokédex was already used before in the same game session, it would show the Pokémon that was previously viewed, regardless of what Generation it was introduced in. Upon selecting a Pokémon from the list, its page will appear only if the player has at least seen one before. Along the bottom of the page, six buttons appear. The one on the far left scrolls up in the Pokédex entries and the one to the immediate right of it scrolls down in the Pokédex entries. Next to those are four sections: "INFO", which displays the Pokédex entry and is the page that is displayed upon selecting a Pokémon. Next to that is "AREA", which shows the Pokémon's area. To the right of that is "CRY", which plays the Pokémon's cry, and to the right of that is "FORMS", which displays the form(s) that have been seen. In "INFO", its Pokédex Entry will be displayed. If it has not been caught before, only its image, National Pokédex number, and Pokémon name will be displayed. Species names, height, and weight will have question marks next to them. Footprints, the "Captured" icon, and its Pokédex entry will be completely blank. The voice feature is simple. Tapping on the bottom screen will allow the player to hear the cry. Once the player reaches Mistralton City, Cedric Juniper will upgrade the Pokédex so that it will have the ability to show a particular Pokémon's different forms. Before being upgraded, the Pokédex only has the ability to show the male and female form differences such as [[Bidoof]]. The upgraded version is also able to switch forms of Pokémon in "Form Comparison Mode," known in the game as "COMPARE," via a small horizontal scroll bar on the lower screen of the DS system, just below the form name. This can also be used by pressing the left and right buttons on the D-Pad on a DS system. Although, this scroll bar is only shown if there are more than 2 different forms of a Pokémon. [[Deerling]], for example, would show the scroll bar because it has 4 forms total, although the player needs to have seen them before they can be seen in the Pokédex. Below the Pokémon's sprite, two buttons appear, with a third appearing while comparing forms, which can be done by tapping the sprite. The standard two are "SELECT", which turns the Pokémon's sprite around so that its face would face away from you, and "START", which starts the sprite's animation. The Pokémon can be rotated while the sprite is moving. These can also be used by pressing the START button on a DS to start the animation, and by pressing the SELECT button on a DS to rotate it. The third button only appears while two forms are shown, which switches th positions of the two sprites. This button is located on the black bar at the bottom of the touch screen and cannot be pressed with a button on the DS. The form shown on the left will be the form shown if the player exits Compare Mode. For example, if Wash Rotom was shown on the left and Mow Rotom was shown on the right, if the side switch button was pressed, Mow Rotom would be on the left and Wash Rotom would be on the right. If Compare mode was left, Mow Rotom would be shown in the "Single Form" function instead of Wash Rotom, and would be the sprite shown if that was exited as well. In Single Form Mode, known in-game as "FORMS," the scroll bar does not appear, but instead there are small green arrows on both sides of the form name at the top of the touch screen, which only appear if more than one form has been seen. Different from Generation IV's version, the forms feature will also show the shiny version of the Pokémon; the last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. Like Generation III and Generation IV, this Pokédex does have the height and weight feature, but it lacks the ability to compare a Pokémon's height and weight to its Trainer, a feature that was in Generation IV.

===Search and order===
The original Pokédex had no search function.

In [[Generation II]], the ability to search for Pokémon by [[Elemental type|type]] was added, as well as the ability to sort by [[New Pokédex]] mode, Old Pokédex mode, [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]] mode and [[Unown Dex|Unown mode]].

In [[Generation III|Ruby and Sapphire]], the search function was expanded to allow searches by name and [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Players were also given the option to order Pokémon by Heaviest, Lightest, Tallest, or Smallest. Two modes were available, [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]]. National mode was unlocked via a trade with [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]], or in {{game3|Emerald|Emerald}}, defeating the [[Elite Four]].

However, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the search function was dropped altogether, instead choosing to expand the sort functions by adding lists of Pokémon by type and [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat]]. Heaviest and Tallest orders were also removed. National Mode was unlocked by having obtained 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex and beating the Elite Four.

[[Generation IV]] brought the Search function back, as well as Heaviest and Tallest orders. Habitat was dropped. Searches could now be conducted by [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]], but not by Color. The two Pokédex modes were [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]] and National. National mode was unlocked by seeing every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} added the ability to search by Height and Weight (instead of simply sorting by them), and also allowed search by Area ([[Johto]], [[Kanto]], or Unknown). National Mode was added by talking with [[Professor Oak]] in the [[S.S. Aqua]] port in [[Olivine City]] after defeating the Elite Four.

In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex for [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White Versions]] allows the player to search for Pokémon with the following criteria: Order ([[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Number]], [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Heavy to Light]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Light to Heavy]], [[List of Pokémon by height|Tall to Short]], and [[List of Pokémon by height|Short to Tall]]), [[List of Pokémon by name|Name]] (All letters of the alphabet), [[List of Pokémon by type|Type]], [[List of Pokémon by color|Color]], which was returned to the search after being dropped in [[Generation IV]], and [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]]. Unlike in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the ability to search for Pokémon by area was dropped. By changing the Pokédex type, the player can search for [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Pokémon native to the Unova Region]] or from other regions, but in order to search for other Pokémon, the player must have first been obtained the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] upgrade from [[Cedric Juniper]] after the defeat of [[Team Plasma]]. After obtaining the upgrade, the player can switch the Pokédex type from the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] to the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] at will by simply tapping "SELECT" in the lower portion of the touch screen or by pressing the SELECT button on the DS System.

==Completion==
[[File:Diploma-red.png|frame|right|Diploma awarded in Red/Blue]]
Completing the Pokédex is a common goal of Trainers and carries with it much esteem due to its difficulty, which has gradually escalated due to the fact that at least 100 new Pokémon are introduced with each new generation. However, this is circumvented to a degree with new features added to the games, such as the introduction of Wi-Fi and the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|GTS]] in [[Generation IV]], or a more convenient trading system (PC box to PC box) in [[Generation V]]. The exclusion of event Pokémon as a requirement for completing the Pokédex also makes it possible for people with no access to event distributions to complete the Pokédex.

[[File:BW National Diploma.png|thumb|left|250px|The diploma awarded for the completion of the [[National Pokédex]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
The in-game rewards are usually a congratulations from the director's avatar and a [[diploma]], usually one for completing the regional Pokédex and one for the National Pokédex. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the player could choose from one of the Johto [[starter Pokémon]] for completing the Hoenn Dex. The completion of the Pokédex also usually allows the player to upgrade his/her {{ga|Trainer card}}.

In Generations I to III, the completion of the regional Pokédex is tracked by how many Pokémon the player has caught. However, in Generation IV, the regional Pokédex is tracked simply by how many Pokémon the player has seen. In Generation V, the requirement is again to catch all Pokémon in the Unova region. Completion of the National Pokédex is strictly based on the number of Pokémon caught.

==In the anime==
[[File:BW Pokedex.png‎|thumb|right|Pokédex's new design as seen in the {{Series|Best Wishes}}]]

When a young [[Sam|"Sammy"]] Oak was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea.

In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as an aide or guide than a recording instrument.

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. It can also give more information on individuals on request, such as [[level]] and learned [[move]]s. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information.

The new Pokédex for [[Unova]] comes with a new voice and shows images of the side and back of a Pokémon along with its front.

Trainers without the luxury of a Pokédex may have access to other means of finding information. Some use high-tech computers, like {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' or [[Shingo]] in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. In several episodes, [[James]] uses a deck of cards.

==In the manga==
[[File:Pokédex Adventures.png|thumb|250px|left|The Pokédexes of the holders from the {{chap|Emerald}}]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In Pokémon Adventures, only a [[Pokédex holder|select group of people]] have Pokédexes and they are highly respected as a result. It is shown that when put several are put together, Pokédexes will make a beeping sound as a signal to indicate that another Pokédex is nearby. This only works when held by their rightful owner, as seen in ''[[PS085|Gimme Shellder]]''. This signal seems to apply for all models of the Pokédex, and the Sinnoh Pokédex holder trio refers to it as the "morning sound" (Japanese: '''朝の音''').

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves of an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, its cry, its current moves, and can even track them. Unlike in the anime, the Pokédex entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text rather than having the information spoken out loud. The Pikachu interaction feature from {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the [[Yellow chapter (Adventures)|chapter]], and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the feature added in {{game|Crystal}} allows one to view a Pokémon's origin.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{adv|Professor Oak}} asks {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} to return their Pokédexes to him, so that he could upgrade them to National Dex. Though in the process, they get stolen by [[Orm]] and used by [[Carr]] to create a "black Pokédex" (Japanese: '''黒い図鑑'''). Later in the story, the new Pokédexes are received by the trio, and Red's old one is given to Yellow. In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, the Johto Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Pokédex EToP.png|thumb|right|150px|A Pokédex in the Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{AP|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low {{stat|HP}}. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's license.

Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', [[Professor Oak]] gives {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex.

[[File:PokédexHANDY910isDiamondPearl111.jpg|thumb|righ|Pokédex HANDY910is]]
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. The Generation V Pokédex has no model number even in the Japanese card; it also has the same effect and English name as the Generation I Pokédex. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', [[Professor Oak]]'s lecture is about the Pokédex. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん ''Komattara hiraite miyō, Pokémon zukan.'' "When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."
* Most of the Pokédexes appear similar to one of Nintendo's handhelds. The Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], the Hoenn Pokédex appears similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]], the Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], the Sinnoh Pokédex resembles [[Nintendo DS Lite]], and the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]]. However, the Generation V Unova Pokédex does not look like the next handheld, the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but rather an {{wp|iPod}}.
* The Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:
** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught.
** Similarly, {{Gary}}'s Pokédex failed to identify {{an|Mewtwo}} at the [[Viridian Gym]], displaying only static interference. This may be attributed to the mechanical battle armor Mewtwo was wearing at the time.
* All six of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, as were the Pokédexes in the games prior to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, while other characters have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex, Dawn has a pink Pokédex, [[Rhyanna]] has an ice blue Pokédex, [[Narissa]] has an orange Pokédex and [[Mamie]] has a lavender Pokédex.
* The only Pokédex Ash has never owned is the Pokédex introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Kanto regional Pokédex and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex ({{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Johto regional Pokédex, with 256 members.
* The Pokédex models of [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} rounded the weights of all Pokémon to full pounds except for {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, despite the Japanese games' use of tenths of kilograms since the start. From [[Generation III]] onward, all weights have been given to the nearest tenth of a pound.
* The Pokédex lost several buttons with every new model, due to various upgrades: Kanto's first model has twenty-two buttons, Johto's original model has five, Kanto's second model, Hoenn's, and Sinnoh's only have three, and Johto's second model apparently has none whatsoever, solely using the touch-screen interface.
* Numerous toy Pokédexes have been manufactured by companies like {{wp|Tiger Electronics}} and [[Jakks Pacific]].
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear]]'s map displays Ethan's icon's hat with black sides, however the Pokédex map displays Ethan's icon's hat with yellow sides.
* The Pokédex entries in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] for Pokémon not native to [[Unova]] are the same as those from [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

[[File:Pokédex BW.png|thumb|right|250px|Pokédex in Black and White]]

The '''Pokédex''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|図鑑|ずかん}}''' ''illustrated Pokémon encyclopedia'') was created by [[Professor Oak]] as an invaluable tool to a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Pokémon world]]. It gives information about all {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the world that are contained in its database, although it differs in how it acquires and presents information over the different medias. However, they are also only given to a few Trainers at a time, generally to the ones that are felt to have exceptional potential and skill. There are different types of Pokédexes and each Pokédex is special to a specific region.

Pokédex entries are typically only two- or three-sentence bits of information about the Pokémon referred to. In some events it gives background information on the habitat or activities of this Pokémon in the wild; at other times it gives other bits of information on the Pokémon's history or anatomy. The information included is important info on the Pokémon, height, weight (once obtained), cry, other forms, a few sentences about the Pokémon, and a picture of the Pokémon.

==Functions==
In order to accomplish Professor Oak's goal of a complete database of information on every Pokémon, the Pokédex is designed to find and record data on each Pokémon the Trainer meets. Pokémon are added to the Pokédex simply by encountering them in battle (or a few special exceptions in Gen IV, such as seeing a picture), but detailed entries are not recorded until the player catches the Pokémon or acquires it in a trade.

===Entries===
The main feature of any Pokédex are the entries on each individual Pokémon, which provide a lot of detail that would otherwise be unexplored in the games.

====Generation I====
[[File:RBYPokedex.png|thumb|right|The main interface of the first Pokédex model]]
In [[Generation I]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY505), the entries were simple and each individual section could be accessed directly from the listing. The first, and main part, was called Data, and included an image of the Pokémon, its number, name, [[species]], Height, Weight, and a short blurb. The second part was called [[Cry]], and selecting that would simply play the Pokémon's cry. The last part was called Area, and would display the [[map]], along with flashing indicators at each location where the selected Pokémon could be found. In cases where the Pokémon was not available in the [[Wild Pokémon|wild]], was only available [[Legendary Pokémon|once]], or could only be found by [[fishing]] or in [[Cerulean Cave]], the message "Area Unknown" would be displayed over the center of the map instead. The {{pkmn|Yellow Version}} allowed players to print entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]].

{{clear}}
====Generation II====
[[File:JohtoDex.png|thumb|left|Johto's Pokédex (model HANDY808), as seen in {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold}}]]
[[Generation II]] retained the same elements as its predecessor, while adding the Pokémon's [[footprint]] to the information, and, like Yellow, allowing players to print entries. Unlike Generation I, selecting a Pokémon displayed the entry in a new screen from which the other sections could be selected. This became the norm for each subsequent generation.

In these games, entries that would normally display "Area Unknown" on the map simply displayed an unmarked map.
{{clear}}
====Generation III====
[[File:PokedexHoennView.png|thumb|right|Viewing the Hoenn Pokédex in {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:FRLGPokedex.png|thumb|left|Viewing the Kanto Pokédex (numerical mode) in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}]]
[[Generation III]]'s Pokédex did not add anything to the main entry, however, Cry was given its own page, which would display the soundwave as it played. In addition, the Area section was changed to highlight locations instead of marking them and could now display the locations of Pokémon caught by fishing. A Size section was added, which displayed silhouettes of the Pokémon and the [[player character]] side by side.

[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY909) displayed entries in a much different format from Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald. It was the first Pokédex to actually display a Pokémon's type in its entry, as well as its box sprite. However, the Cry visuals were removed. Entries for Kanto Pokémon were taken from Red/Green for FireRed and Red/Blue for LeafGreen. Johto Pokémon entries were taken from Silver for FireRed and Gold for LeafGreen.
{{clear}}

====Generation IV====
[[File:Platinum National Pokédex.png|thumb|left|150px|{{p|Giratina}} in the Platinum National Pokédex]]
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|right|150px|{{p|Pidgey}} in the Generation IV Johto Pokédex]]
[[Generation IV]]'s Pokédex (model HANDY910is) added numerous features, but of FireRed and LeafGreen's changes, it kept only Type. Area would now change its highlight color depending on whether a Pokémon is found on land or in water, and the player could view the differences between morning, day and night, with the default being the current [[time]]. Cry's display returned, with a bar display in addition to the wave display, and the ability to modify the cry via Chorus/Pan, Reverb/Filter and Loop. Weight was added to the Size section, which put the Pokémon and the player character on either side of a balance scale. A new Forms section allowed players to see gender and form differences within species, but only for forms they'd already seen.

[[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] changed the formatting again, now by displaying the list on the lower screen and the actual entry on the top screen. Cry's page was again removed. By selecting to view details, players could view Area, Size and Forms. Area no longer defaulted to the current time or differentiated between land and water, Size now utilized both screens to display both Height and Weight at the same time, and Forms added a Compare option to see different forms side by side instead of having to scroll between them. Entries for Johto and Kanto Pokémon were taken from Gold for HeartGold and Silver for SoulSilver. Also, while artwork shows a pink Pokédex for females, the in-game interface does not reflect this.
{{clear}}

====Generation V====

[[File:BW dex entries.png|thumb|right|Viewing the Unova Pokédex in {{game3|Black and White|Pokémon White|s}}]]
The [[Generation V]] Pokédex is similar to the Pokédex from {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is displayed as a list on the right side of the lower screen with the selected Pokémon's sprite occuping the left side. Most of its functions are also similar to [[Generation IV]]'s. Instead of showing the time of day that a Pokémon can be caught, as in Generation IV, the Pokédex shows the seasons in which it can be found. Areas in which the Pokémon can be found flash red, and touching an area will show the methods by which it can be caught (walking in [[tall grass]], [[surfing]], or [[fishing]]). The height and weight comparison feature has been removed, but a section showing form differences and a search feature are added by [[Cedric Juniper]] when the player visits [[Mistralton City]]. The form difference section will now show [[Shiny Pokémon]] as well as form differences. The last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. If the player obtains a Pokémon from another country, they can select a language for that Pokémon's entry. The search function has also been improved with the ability to search Pokémon by color as well as the older criteria. The cry page has been added again as well.

=====How to Operate the Unova Pokédex=====
When first starting up the Pokédex function, the DS system will show an image of the Unova Pokédex as it would appear closed: The single screen on the top screen of the DS and the design on the lower screen. By either waiting 5 seconds, tapping the touchscreen, or by pressing the A button, the player can turn on the Pokédex, showing an animation on the DS screens of the Pokédex opening and revealing its top screen. After the animation stops briefly, the picture shown on the DS will expand, making it appear as if the Pokédex screens are turning on. If the player first started up the game and did not view the Pokédex since the game session started, the first Pokémon with Unova Pokédex data would be shown. For example, if the first Pokémon with Unova Pokédex data was [[Tepig]], then Tepig's image would be shown when the Pokédex reaches its list of Pokémon. This does not apply for Pokémon that were introduced before Gen. V, even if National Mode is enabled. If the Pokédex was already used before in the same game session, it would show the Pokémon that was previously viewed, regardless of what Generation it was introduced in. Upon selecting a Pokémon from the list, its page will appear only if the player has at least seen one before. Along the bottom of the page, six buttons appear. The one on the far left scrolls up in the Pokédex entries and the one to the immediate right of it scrolls down in the Pokédex entries. Next to those are four sections: "INFO", which displays the Pokédex entry and is the page that is displayed upon selecting a Pokémon. Next to that is "AREA", which shows the Pokémon's area. To the right of that is "CRY", which plays the Pokémon's cry, and to the right of that is "FORMS", which displays the form(s) that have been seen. In "INFO", its Pokédex Entry will be displayed. If it has not been caught before, only its image, National Pokédex number, and Pokémon name will be displayed. Species names, height, and weight will have question marks next to them. Footprints, the "Captured" icon, and its Pokédex entry will be completely blank. The voice feature is simple. Tapping on the bottom screen will allow the player to hear the cry. Once the player reaches Mistralton City, Cedric Juniper will upgrade the Pokédex so that it will have the ability to show a particular Pokémon's different forms. Before being upgraded, the Pokédex only has the ability to show the male and female form differences such as [[Bidoof]]. The upgraded version is also able to switch forms of Pokémon in "Form Comparison Mode," known in the game as "COMPARE," via a small horizontal scroll bar on the lower screen of the DS system, just below the form name. This can also be used by pressing the left and right buttons on the D-Pad on a DS system. Although, this scroll bar is only shown if there are more than 2 different forms of a Pokémon. Deerling, for example, would show the scroll bar because it has 4 forms total, although the player needs to have seen them before they can be seen in the Pokédex. Below the Pokémon's sprite, two buttons appear, with a third appearing while comparing forms, which can be done by tapping the sprite. The standard two are "SELECT", which turns the Pokémon's sprite around so that its face would face away from you, and "START", which starts the sprite's animation. The Pokémon can be rotated while the sprite is moving. These can also be used by pressing the START button on a DS to start the animation, and by pressing the SELECT button on a DS to rotate it. The third button only appears while two forms are shown, which switches th positions of the two sprites. This button is located on the black bar at the bottom of the touch screen and cannot be pressed with a button on the DS. The form shown on the left will be the form shown if the player exits Compare Mode. For example, if Wash Rotom was shown on the left and Mow Rotom was shown on the right, if the side switch button was pressed, Mow Rotom would be on the left and Wash Rotom would be on the right. If Compare mode was left, Mow Rotom would be shown in the "Single Form" function instead of Wash Rotom, and would be the sprite shown if that was exited as well. In Single Form Mode, known in-game as "FORMS," the scroll bar does not appear, but instead there are small green arrows on both sides of the form name at the top of the touch screen, which only appear if more than one form has been seen. Different from Generation IV's version, the forms feature will also show the shiny version of the Pokémon; the last sprite selected will become the one displayed in the main entry. Like Generation III and Generation IV, this Pokédex does have the height and weight feature, but it lacks the ability to compare a Pokémon's height and weight to its Trainer, a feature that was in Generation IV.

===Search and order===
The original Pokédex had no search function.

In [[Generation II]], the ability to search for Pokémon by [[Elemental type|type]] was added, as well as the ability to sort by [[New Pokédex]] mode, Old Pokédex mode, [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]] mode and [[Unown Dex|Unown mode]].

In [[Generation III|Ruby and Sapphire]], the search function was expanded to allow searches by name and [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Players were also given the option to order Pokémon by Heaviest, Lightest, Tallest, or Smallest. Two modes were available, [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National]]. National mode was unlocked via a trade with [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]], or in {{game3|Emerald|Emerald}}, defeating the [[Elite Four]].

However, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the search function was dropped altogether, instead choosing to expand the sort functions by adding lists of Pokémon by type and [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat]]. Heaviest and Tallest orders were also removed. National Mode was unlocked by having obtained 60 Pokémon in the Pokédex and beating the Elite Four.

[[Generation IV]] brought the Search function back, as well as Heaviest and Tallest orders. Habitat was dropped. Searches could now be conducted by [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]], but not by Color. The two Pokédex modes were [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh]] and National. National mode was unlocked by seeing every Pokémon in the Sinnoh Dex.

{{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} added the ability to search by Height and Weight (instead of simply sorting by them), and also allowed search by Area ([[Johto]], [[Kanto]], or Unknown). National Mode was added by talking with [[Professor Oak]] in the [[S.S. Aqua]] port in [[Olivine City]] after defeating the Elite Four.

In [[Generation V]], the Pokédex for [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White Versions]] allows the player to search for Pokémon with the following criteria: Order ([[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Number]], [[List of Pokémon by name|A to Z]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Heavy to Light]], [[List of Pokémon by weight|Light to Heavy]], [[List of Pokémon by height|Tall to Short]], and [[List of Pokémon by height|Short to Tall]]), [[List of Pokémon by name|Name]] (All letters of the alphabet), [[List of Pokémon by type|Type]], [[List of Pokémon by color|Color]], which was returned to the search after being dropped in [[Generation IV]], and [[List of Pokémon by body style|Form]]. Unlike in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the ability to search for Pokémon by area was dropped. By changing the Pokédex type, the player can search for [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Pokémon native to the Unova Region]] or from other regions, but in order to search for other Pokémon, the player must have first been obtained the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] upgrade from [[Cedric Juniper]] after the defeat of [[Team Plasma]]. After obtaining the upgrade, the player can switch the Pokédex type from the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]] to the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] at will by simply tapping "SELECT" in the lower portion of the touch screen or by pressing the SELECT button on the DS System.

==Completion==
[[File:Diploma-red.png|frame|right|Diploma awarded in Red/Blue]]
Completing the Pokédex is a common goal of Trainers and carries with it much esteem due to its difficulty, which has gradually escalated due to the fact that at least 100 new Pokémon are introduced with each new generation. However, this is circumvented to a degree with new features added to the games, such as the introduction of Wi-Fi and the [[Global Terminal#Global Trade Station|GTS]] in [[Generation IV]], or a more convenient trading system (PC box to PC box) in [[Generation V]]. The exclusion of event Pokémon as a requirement for completing the Pokédex also makes it possible for people with no access to event distributions to complete the Pokédex.

[[File:BW National Diploma.png|thumb|left|250px|The diploma awarded for the completion of the [[National Pokédex]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
The in-game rewards are usually a congratulations from the director's avatar and a [[diploma]], usually one for completing the regional Pokédex and one for the National Pokédex. In {{v2|Emerald}}, the player could choose from one of the Johto [[starter Pokémon]] for completing the Hoenn Dex. The completion of the Pokédex also usually allows the player to upgrade his/her {{ga|Trainer card}}.

In Generations I to III, the completion of the regional Pokédex is tracked by how many Pokémon the player has caught. However, in Generation IV, the regional Pokédex is tracked simply by how many Pokémon the player has seen. In Generation V, the requirement is again to catch all Pokémon in the Unova region. Completion of the National Pokédex is strictly based on the number of Pokémon caught.

==In the anime==
[[File:BW Pokedex.png‎|thumb|right|Pokédex's new design as seen in the {{Series|Best Wishes}}]]

When a young [[Sam|"Sammy"]] Oak was accidentally warped to a future of his own time, {{Ash}} explained to him how the Pokédex works, unknowingly giving him an idea.

In ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'' it was mentioned that the Pokédex entries were written by [[Professor Westwood V]] of the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Unlike the games, entries in the anime are pre-programmed into the database and do not require catching to give full information. In this way, they act more as an aide or guide than a recording instrument.

To look up information on a particular species, Trainers may simply point the Pokédex at an individual or manually enter it in. The Pokédex will then display a picture and read the entry out loud. It can also give more information on individuals on request, such as [[level]] and learned [[move]]s. Apparently, a picture or video recording of sufficient quality can also be scanned for information.

The new Pokédex for [[Unova]] comes with a new voice and shows images of the side and back of a Pokémon along with its front.

Trainers without the luxury of a Pokédex may have access to other means of finding information. Some use high-tech computers, like {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]'' or [[Shingo]] in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. In several episodes, [[James]] uses a deck of cards.

==In the manga==
[[File:Pokédex Adventures.png|thumb|250px|left|The Pokédexes of the holders from the {{chap|Emerald}}]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In Pokémon Adventures, only a [[Pokédex holder|select group of people]] have Pokédexes and they are highly respected as a result. It is shown that when put several are put together, Pokédexes will make a beeping sound as a signal to indicate that another Pokédex is nearby. This only works when held by their rightful owner, as seen in ''[[PS085|Gimme Shellder]]''. This signal seems to apply for all models of the Pokédex, and the Sinnoh Pokédex holder trio refers to it as the "morning sound" (Japanese: '''朝の音''').

Much as in the anime, the Pokédex in Pokémon Adventures displays the known moves of an individual Pokémon, as well as its current health, its cry, its current moves, and can even track them. Unlike in the anime, the Pokédex entries are usually taken directly from the games and as such contains readable text rather than having the information spoken out loud. The Pikachu interaction feature from {{game|Yellow}} was added to {{adv|Red}}'s Pokédex, allowing him to see its mood (though he never is seen making much use of it, as {{adv|Yellow}} was in possession of his Pokédex for most of the [[Yellow chapter (Adventures)|chapter]], and could tell [[Pika]]'s mood on her own anyway). The Pokédex's function takes over much of the control the games give to the player, being able to prevent a Pokémon's evolution, whereas Trainers without a Pokédex have no choice in the matter. As seen in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]'', the Pokédex can discover where a Pokémon was first met by its Trainer, much as the feature added in {{game|Crystal}} allows one to view a Pokémon's origin.

In the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{adv|Professor Oak}} asks {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} to return their Pokédexes to him, so that he could upgrade them to National Dex. Though in the process, they get stolen by [[Orm]] and used by [[Carr]] to create a "black Pokédex" (Japanese: '''黒い図鑑'''). Later in the story, the new Pokédexes are received by the trio, and Red's old one is given to Yellow. In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, the Johto Pokédex holders get new Pokédexes as well.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Pokédex EToP.png|thumb|right|150px|A Pokédex in the Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Pokémon Trainers receive their Pokédexes when their application to become a Pokémon Trainer is accepted. A Pokédex contains information on a Pokémon's moves and abilities, as well as general information (such as how some Pokémon, like {{AP|Pikachu}}, dislike [[Poké Ball]]s) and the ability to tell if a Pokémon has critically low {{stat|HP}}. In addition, all Pokédexes contain a copy of the Trainer's license.

Updated versions of the Pokédex are released from time to time: in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', [[Professor Oak]] gives {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} a beta version of the latest model of the Pokédex.

{{clear-left}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:PokédexHANDY910isDiamondPearl111.jpg|thumb|righ|Pokédex HANDY910is]]
This listing is of cards mentioning or featuring the Pokédex in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. The Hoenn region's model did not receive a TCG card, and the Generation I and Generation II Pokédexes, which featured model numbers on the Japanese cards (HANDY505 and HANDY808 respectively), did not show these model numbers on the English card. The Generation V Pokédex has no model number even in the Japanese card; it also has the same effect and English name as the Generation I Pokédex. Every card has allowed the player to look at a certain number of cards from the top of their deck and then either arrange them as they like, or in the case of Pokédex HANDY910is, choose one to put in their hand.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', [[Professor Oak]]'s lecture is about the Pokédex. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: こまったら　ひらいてみよう　ポケモンずかん ''Komattara hiraite miyō, Pokémon zukan.'' "When troubled, let's open the Pokédex."
* Most of the Pokédexes appear similar to one of Nintendo's handhelds. The Johto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Color]], the Hoenn Pokédex appears similar to the [[Game Boy Advance]], the Generation III Kanto Pokédex resembles a [[Game Boy Advance SP]], the Sinnoh Pokédex resembles [[Nintendo DS Lite]], and the Generation IV Johto Pokédex is in similar appearance to a [[Nintendo DSi]]. However, the Generation V Unova Pokédex does not look like the next handheld, the [[Nintendo 3DS]], but rather an {{wp|iPod}}.
* The Pokédex is evidently encased in material that is invulnerable to almost anything within reason. It has been soaked in water and (in the anime) electrocuted and exposed to high-temperature flames, all with no ill effect. It is also voice-sensitive. There are some limitations to its ability; certain circumstances can prevent the Pokédex from accurately identifying its target:
** A Pokédex which has not received a [[National Pokédex|National Mode]] upgrade will not display any information on Pokémon not usually found in its home region, even if those Pokémon have been caught.
** Similarly, {{Gary}}'s Pokédex failed to identify {{an|Mewtwo}} at the [[Viridian Gym]], displaying only static interference. This may be attributed to the mechanical battle armor Mewtwo was wearing at the time.
* All six of Ash's Pokédexes have been red, as were the Pokédexes in the games prior to {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, while other characters have had other colors. May had a yellow one in Kanto, Paul has a dark blue Pokédex, Dawn has a pink Pokédex, [[Rhyanna]] has an ice blue Pokédex, [[Narissa]] has an orange Pokédex and [[Mamie]] has a lavender Pokédex.
* The only Pokédex Ash has never owned is the Pokédex introduced in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The Kanto regional Pokédex and the Sinnoh regional Pokédex ({{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) have 151 members, the smallest of all regional Pokédexes. The largest regional Pokédex is the Johto regional Pokédex, with 256 members.
* The Pokédex models of [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} rounded the weights of all Pokémon to full pounds except for {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, despite the Japanese games' use of tenths of kilograms since the start. From [[Generation III]] onward, all weights have been given to the nearest tenth of a pound.
* The Pokédex lost several buttons with every new model, due to various upgrades: Kanto's first model has twenty-two buttons, Johto's original model has five, Kanto's second model, Hoenn's, and Sinnoh's only have three, and Johto's second model apparently has none whatsoever, solely using the touch-screen interface.
* Numerous toy Pokédexes have been manufactured by companies like {{wp|Tiger Electronics}} and [[Jakks Pacific]].
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the [[Pokégear]]'s map displays Ethan's icon's hat with black sides, however the Pokédex map displays Ethan's icon's hat with yellow sides.
* The Pokédex entries in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]] for Pokémon not native to [[Unova]] are the same as those from [[Pokémon Platinum Version]].

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===
Since these rules are guidelines for my Talk Page, PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE THEM. Doing so will result in IMMEDIATE undoing of the edit. If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===
Many users fail to read the text below the edit box while editing pages. I do not want that to happen on my User Talk Page. Following this rule is simple enough. Read the text below the Character Palette, make sure your edit follows those rules, and make sure that you merge edits if necessary to make sure that nobody's work is left out.

===Rule 9: Have Fun!===
Very simple to follow. Just have fun on my user talk page and follow these rules and all will be well.

More rules to come soon! So follow the rules, make sure that you preview, save your wanted edits, and remember to add a signature with a timestamp to your work!

:I know that tactic and I've been doing that a lot with my new userpage, whose reveal has been delayed due to an unusually high amount of homework (I'm only in 9th grade).

== Rules of my User Talk Page ==
Hi! Welcome to my User Talk Page! Since it's somewhat quiet around here most of the time, I'd like to set up some ground rules for my talk page to make sure that no feelings get hurt, no edits are unnecessary, and that everyone has fun on it while making sure that they follow the rules as well. So I guess we'll get started.

===Rule 1: No Swearing===
Since Bulbapedia is used by many people worldwide, many of them being kids under the age of 13, I'd like to make sure that if someone in that age group comes upon my talk page they wouldn't see any offensive language, including minor words as well. So that means no quotes from Family Guy, no swearing out of frustration, nothing. I'd like to have a user talk page that can be read by everyone without having them being offended.

===Rule 2: No Edit Wars===
Well this should be obvious to many of you. This is strongly frowned upon on the mainspace, so I believe that it should be frowned upon here as well. Edit wars are notorious for creating enemies between users along with grudges as well. On my talk page, everyone should be nice to each other and should start friendships, which can lead to working together in order to make the mainspace a better place due to cooperation, collaberating between each other to share ideas, and other factors. Edit wars can also put the sanity of my userpage (along with every other page on Bulbapedia) at risk, which is what I don't want. Edit wars also hurt the feelings of whoever's comment was removed or reposted without their permission. So don't start edit wars please!

===Rule 3: Follow the Golden Rule===
This should be just a plain rule of common sense: Follow the '''Golden Rule'''. In other words, treat others the way you want to be treated. This can easily be followed by respecting other users, no hurting any feelings, and/or trying to make friends every now and again. Who knows? It might just pay off!

===Rule 4: Ask me BEFORE Editing any Content on This Page===
This rule is just so that I don't get the wrong idea if a user changes my work. I may assume that they may be trying to hurt my feelings by rejecting my work and changing it on my talk page, which I find UNACCEPTABLE. Please state your reasoning for editing it (i.e. Doesn't make sense, Violates the Manual of Style, etc.), its location (i.e. Section 12, Line 104, etc.), and how it will affect other articles if changed (i.e. It will make replies to this unnecessary, It will make the section after it easier to understand, etc.) and I'll inspect the section in question. If I agree with your reasoning and how it will affect other articles if changed, which I don't guarantee, I will change the content personally. If I don't agree with your reasoning and/or how it will affect other articles, I will let you know and tell you why I disagree. This rule also applies if you plan on editing any other user's content (besides your own). Although, for that, you must first notify '''BOTH''' me and the user who posted the content.

===Rule 5: Follow the Bulbapedia [[BP:MoS|Manual of Style]] at All Times===
This rule is self-explantory. Just do what the Manual of Style says and I'm okay with it.

===Rule 6: Don't Come to Me With Questions===
If you need a hand with Bulbapedia, don't come to me! I may have a article on '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Talk Page, but that doesn't mean that I have all the answers! My user has only been here since October 10, 2010 for crying out loud! And I've only been playing Pokémon games a lot since June 6th, 2010! So I don't have all of the answers! Go to a Bulbapedia Staff Member, the forums, or an article's talk page for that!

===Rule 7: Don't Change the Rules of my Talk Page===

If you feel that they need to be changed, please tell me what you think should be changed, I'll take a look at it and, if I agree, I'll change them. If I disagree, I'll notify you. Changing the rules without consulting me first can result in many unwanted rule changes, unnecessary rules, and rules that allow someone to do something that I don't agree on, along with others if they are not changed back immediately. So please don't edit these rules yourself. ALWAYS consult me first!

===Rule 8: Read the Text Below the Edit Box===

How do you put pictures in? I want to change the picture on [[Leaf Storm]], since it's "unsatisfactory". [[User:YoshisWorld|YoshisWorld]] 00:45, 21 June 2011 (UTC)YoshisWorld
:Move images have a naming convention. You should replace the existing image [[a:File:Leaf Storm.png|here on the Archives]] rather than simply changing the image name. Remember to read the Archives Manual of Style before you upload anything. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:52, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

==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.

There was a sentence in the [[Kecleon Shop]] article that read, "Best plan if thinking about theft is too know where the stairs are."

:That is indeed quite bad and unacceptable. However, it isn't recommended to warn people of errors so far after they've happened. Seems that person hasn't edited in a few days anyway. If that person comes back, or indeed you see anyone make such a large grammatical error, it is advised to revert and warn them.

== 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. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

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.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Oh! before I forget, '''MAGNEDETH''', I dropped you a line on your forum page regarding your userpage and my not-yet-posted userpage, so be sure to read it! Thanks! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 23:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here.

==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.

== 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. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

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.

Yeah, I began reading your whole Pokemon favs, hates and all that stuff. I think you should list the ones from [[Generation V|Gen 5]]. I know you haven't yet probably because it's time consuming, and all. [[User:Peanut64|Peanut64]]

:Excuse me MAGNEDETH, I hope you don't mind me butting into your page. Arceusc1405, trivia isn't ALWAYS being added. There are some people that can edit a piece of trivial information. And sometimes, there are some people that get away with it because Bulbapedia editors cannot monitor everything 100% of the time. I hope you understand that.

== External Links Update for Gen 5 ==

I noticed that the external links sections of Pokémon pages still haven't been updated for Gen V. I would be happy to update them myself if my account had the permission to do that, but in lieu of that I put the updated code in the Talk page for each one under the heading "Proposed Gen 5 Update". Obviously if you don't agree with the changes I'm proposing you don't have to implement them:

==I keep logging out...?==
Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out. And I have to log in all over again. However, if I just press log in, and then click the back button, I'm logged in. It's been doing it since Bulbapedia was locked down last week. Got any idea what's causing it, because this has never happened before. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 17:08, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums!

==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)

:That is indeed quite bad and unacceptable. However, it isn't recommended to warn people of errors so far after they've happened. Seems that person hasn't edited in a few days anyway. If that person comes back, or indeed you see anyone make such a large grammatical error, it is advised to revert and warn them. You can do it yourself (it's a fairly basic site-wide rule so it isn't really necessary to get an admin), but if you don't feel comfortable, you can contact any active staff member. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 15:57, 17 July 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. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

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.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''
* ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Oh! before I forget, '''MAGNEDETH''', I dropped you a line on your forum page regarding your userpage and my not-yet-posted userpage, so be sure to read it! Thanks! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 23:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here.

==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!

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. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

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.

Hey Mag, I'm having some issues, and I'd thought I'd try and see if you can tell me how to fix them. So, everytime I X-out of the internet window, Bulbapedia logs me out.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here. BAI! :D [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 21:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

==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)

:That is indeed quite bad and unacceptable. However, it isn't recommended to warn people of errors so far after they've happened. Seems that person hasn't edited in a few days anyway. If that person comes back, or indeed you see anyone make such a large grammatical error, it is advised to revert and warn them. You can do it yourself (it's a fairly basic site-wide rule so it isn't really necessary to get an admin), but if you don't feel comfortable, you can contact any active staff member. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 15:57, 17 July 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. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

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.

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them. Thoughts? --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 18:54, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

== Watchlist Curiousity ==

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here.

==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.

You can do it yourself (it's a fairly basic site-wide rule so it isn't really necessary to get an admin), but if you don't feel comfortable, you can contact any active staff member. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 15:57, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

== Userpage Edit Limit ==

Sorry to bother you. I know you're busy, but do you know when the userpage edit limit will be raised from one edit per day back to three edits per day? I'm wondering when this may occur because I just got my userpage earlier today and I'm not going to edit it <strike>(or my talk page)</strike> until the limit is raised. I'm doing this so that I can complete my userpage faster than right now. Have a nice day! 〜'''[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']]''' 02:11, 20 July 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. Also, please use the preview button instead of making multiple small edits. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

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.

== External Links Update for Gen 5 ==

I noticed that the external links sections of Pokémon pages still haven't been updated for Gen V. I would be happy to update them myself if my account had the permission to do that, but in lieu of that I put the updated code in the Talk page for each one under the heading "Proposed Gen 5 Update".

== Internamespace redirects ==

Hey there. I was bumming around today and I realized that we don't have many, if any, redirects from the mainspace to the Bulbapedia namespace. If somebody wants to find out, say, who the administrators are, they're probably going to type in "Administrators" or "Admins" into the search bar, which will get them nowhere. Well, not ''nowhere''. They'd have to click around for it. Would you be opposed to having redirects from the mainspace for some of the larger items in the Bulbapedia namespace? Like, the big policies, usergroups, etc. I don't see any inherent problem with it, but I figure there might be some reason why we don't have them.

Hi '''MAGNEDETH'''. So here's the thing: A few days ago, I was looking at my watchlist, something I do every now and again, and I saw something on it that made me wonder what it was for. That thing is the little number in parentheses next to the username. You know, the little number that's either green or red. That thing. Normally, I would just disregard it entirely and continue with whatever I was doing, but this time, I stopped to wonder, "Why is this thing here? What is it even for?" And for everyone else out there looking at this, I'll insert a "typed picture" as well to show what I'm talking about. And this is an actual example from my watchlist. So here it is everyone:

'''November 4, 2011'''

See the '''bold green "(+1,757)"'''? That's what got me curious. What is is for? Why is it there? What does it mean? I'm very confused right now. Oh, and, by the way, the large amount of "-"s is for things on my watchlist that I prefer not to post, just to stay out of trouble from other users.

So, that's pretty much it. Bye!

Oh! before I forget, '''MAGNEDETH''', I dropped you a line on your forum page regarding your userpage and my not-yet-posted userpage, so be sure to read it! Thanks! 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 23:23, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
:The numbers indicate the size change of the page. So you added 1,757 bytes to the page. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:00, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
::Just the same, if the numbers are in red with a minus, it means that bytes have been removed. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:19, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
::But sometimes, the number is bold and other times it isn't. What does the bold effect mean? And no, I know it doesn't change to bold if the page has been upated since I last visited it. I found that out on my watchlist too; On various pages that are in bold, the number isn't and on other pages that are in bold, the number isn't, so what on Earth does it mean? 〜[[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 02:24, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
:::The bold is just for emphasis on large edits. It has no specific purpose. Also, it's against the rules to include a line break for your signature, so don't do that. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
::::Alright. Thanks! I'll remember to do that from now on! [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 21:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

==User page creating==
Hello there. I'm a new user here, and I have a question. How can I make a userpage? I can't make yet a userpage? :( I hope to hear soon from you. --[[User:Station7|Station7]] 22:09, 8 November 2011 (UTC)
:You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the [[userspace policy]]. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 22:16, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

== MAJOR PROBLEM!!!!! ==

Hey Mag. (Do you mind if I call you that?) Okay, so here's my problem: while I was on the forums, checking to see if I got any new PMs or replies to my posts or something, I tried to load the page to my profile page and my browser (IE9) said, "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". I tried loading many other pages and they all came up with the same thing! I even tried to get there via the forum link at the bottom of the Main Page! Still nothing! And the worst thing is, I can't access the problem reporting thread on the forums because it's down too! What the heck happened?! Why has the forum betrayed me?!?! Is the forum down for you too? If it is, then I'm guessing that it's undergoing maintenance. If not, then it's probably a problem with my Internet or some other thing. WHY ARE THE FORUMS NOT WORKING?!?! I <3 the forums! They're so much fun to use! So to make a long story short, the forums aren't working and I want to know why this is so. Anyway, I'm pretty much done here. BAI! :D [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 21:37, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
:The forums just happen to be down. They'll come up shortly after the problems with it are solved. Just wait patiently, you will be rewarded. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 21:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
::K! Thanks a lot! (One for actually answering my question, and two for doing it within 2 minutes of me asking it! XD) [[User:Pikachu9000|'''Pikachu''']][[User talk:Pikachu9000|'''9000''']] 21:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
