The '''second generation''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|第二世代|だいにせだい}}}}''' ''second generation'') of Pokémon games, referred to as the '''Gold/Silver series''' in {{game|Crystal}}'s boxart, and sometimes called the '''metal generation''' or '''metallic generation''' by older players due to the names of the paired [[Core series|version]]s, is a sequel to the [[Generation I]] games {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}.

Beginning with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver]] and later joined by {{game|Crystal}}, Generation II began the Pokémon series' expansion-focused nature, introducing to the world {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}} which did not exist and are unable to be obtained in the Generation I games, and the new region of [[Johto]]. Many of these Pokémon expand the [[evolution]] families of older Pokémon, while a majority of them are brand-new evolutionary families.

The initial hint that Generation II was on its way came in early 1997, with the release of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s first episode. A Pokémon appears to [[Ash Ketchum]] on the first day of his journey, shortly after he and {{AP|Pikachu}} become friends, that cannot be identified by the [[Pokédex]]. This magnificent golden bird, later revealed to be the legendary [[game mascot|mascot]] of Gold Version, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, was the first Pokémon from a future generation to debut in the anime. The games, initially named directly as "Pocket Monsters 2", were set for release in late 1997, but were pushed back to 1999 with the intention to redevelop the games to work with the [[Game Boy Color]] better.

Details in the games indicate that the storyline of the Generation II games occurs three years after the one in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], while the storyline of the [[Sinnoh]]-based [[Generation IV]] games indicate that they occur contemporaneously to Generation II as Generation I does to Generation III.

==Advances in gameplay==
In addition to retaining the system from Generation I in almost every aspect, several key innovations were made to the series, most of which have been retained in every generation since.

===Major additions===
* The introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 251. Several are [[list of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms of]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions of]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, while others are their own evolutionary lines.
* The addition of 86 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 251 as well.
* The addition of two new [[type]]s, the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types, to balance out the over-powerful {{t|Psychic}} type and the underused {{t|Fighting}} type.
* A new region to explore, [[Johto]], in addition to [[Kanto|the Generation I region]], with the latter accessible after the [[Elite Four]] have been defeated. Johto has its own set of eight new [[Gym]]s and [[Gym Leader]]s to defeat, while the Elite Four has changed in three years.
* [[Gender]]s for Pokémon, opening up the ability for two Pokémon to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} if they are [[Egg Group|similar enough]].
* Two additional boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], which now includes the ability to move Pokémon directly between boxes, bringing Pokémon storage to 280.
* A new [[player character]], {{ga|Ethan}}.
* Seven new types of [[Poké Ball]]s, all made from [[Apricorn|special fruit]] found only in Johto.
* A built-in clock, allowing for in-game events to be affected by the [[time]] of day and the [[days of the week]].
* [[Shiny Pokémon]], which sparkle when brought into battle.
* [[Baby Pokémon]], most of them pre-evolutions of Generation I Pokémon.
* [[Friendship]], introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, becomes a stat used by all Pokémon.
* Pokémon can now [[held item|hold items]] and use them in battle.
* A special [[Pokérus|Pokémon virus]] is introduced that boosts stats.

===Major alterations from Generation I===
* A change in the types of four moves ({{m|Gust}}, {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, and {{m|Bite}}). All formerly {{type|Normal}}, they are now {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, respectively.
* The addition of {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type for {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}.
* An improved [[stats|stat]] system, with the former Special stat being split into Special Attack and Special Defense.
* The [[Bag]] is no longer one 20-item container, but has four separate sections for different items: Normal items, [[Poké Ball]]s, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and [[key item]]s.
* A key item can be set to and then subsequently accessed with the select button, for convenience on the field.
* Opponent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are given individual names.
* {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share|Exp. All}} is upgraded into the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} and is made a held item.
** The definition of "upgrade" and not "replacement" in this situation is due to the items having the same name in the Japanese versions, suggesting an improvement on the item's mechanism and not necessarily a complete and independent substitute.
* In the previous generation, a Pokémon could gain enough [[experience]] to jump straight from one level to another, thus missing out on any moves it could have learned in the levels between. From this generation onwards, if a Pokémon is currently in the battle, it levels up more than once if it gains enough experience to do so, meaning it does not miss any moves it could learn by level up. While other Pokémon still jump straight from one level to another, they do not miss any moves.
* [[Town Map]] is replaced with an electronic device, the [[Pokégear]], which also has cellphone and radio capabilities, alongside map functions.
* The way the game handles color on the world map has been improved. Overworld sprites such as the {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} no longer change their palettes when moving between areas.
* The [[Type chart]] has changed somewhat from Generation I:

==Regions==
===Johto===
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|250px|Johto]]
{{main|Johto}}
Generation II introduced a new region to the Pokémon universe, Johto, located directly west of the Kanto region featured in Generation I. Johto's culture is notably more old-fashioned than Kanto's, especially in the more rural areas, which are more plentiful than in Kanto. Like Kanto, it has a sea to the south and mountains to the north.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starter Pokémon introduced in Generation II follow the same {{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}}-{{t|Water}} alignment as those of Kanto. Despite this, they are not the same trio as in Generation I. Instead, [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30|Johto}}.

Unlike other generations, where the first Gym is strong against the Fire-type and weak to Grass and Water, in this generation, the first Gym is strong against Grass, while Fire and Water both have an opening. Also, Pokémon available can cover for the weaknesses of the starter types very early on in the game, unlike in Generation I.

====Gym Leaders====
Johto's [[Gym Leader]]s specialize in types different from Kanto's Gym Leaders, with eight of the nine types not covered by Kanto being the specialty types of these Gyms. Like Kanto, these Gym Leaders will give out [[Badge]]s and [[TM]]s on their defeat.

===Kanto===
[[File:KantoII.png|thumb|250px|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
Unlike later games in the series, the Generation II games offer the player the chance, once Johto's Gyms are conquered and the Elite Four is defeated, to return to the Kanto region where the [[Generation I]] games are set. Here, players will find that many things have changed over the past three years.

====Gym Leaders====
Unlike in Generation I, the Gym Leaders of Generation II Kanto will for the most part not give away TMs; only [[Janine]] and [[Erika]] do this.

==Discussion of Generation II==
{{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were among the most-hyped games in the Pokémon franchise, with the innovations introduced in them becoming staples of the series. The later-released {{game|Crystal}} began the series' focus on [[legendary Pokémon]] of the regions in which the games take place, first bringing them into the plot of the game. Due to these improvements, Generation II is highly acclaimed among long-time fans. Unlike future games, Generation II stood as an extension and a sequel of Generation I, and has been criticized by some for this.

Like Generation I's games, the popularity of the Generation II games proved great enough that {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|remakes|s}} were made during [[Generation IV]] as sequels to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Another reason why remakes were made was the fact that the original versions are incompatible with [[Generation III]] and onward.

===Johto thematic motif===
The second generation of Pokémon games were more directed towards mythology and tradition. The three starters were all "pure" element types, fitting the classic Water > Grass > Fire cycle all starters adhere to. Unlike two of the fully-evolved starter Pokémon in Generation I, and at least one of every starter trio since barring Generation IV and VI , the fully-evolved Johto starters maintain their single types.

This was the first installment that put emphasis on [[legendary Pokémon]] being actual legends in-game, in contrast to {{p|Mewtwo}} and the [[legendary birds]] of Generation I. [[Ecruteak City]] fleshed out the legends of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and [[legendary beasts|the three beasts]], their relationship with one another, and the story behind their departure (the [[Burned Tower]]). Lugia was also glimpsed by an elderly man in Ecruteak City, and others, who stated it looked like a dragon in the sky. Even the uncatchable {{p|Celebi}} was mentioned as the "Forest's Protector" at the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].

The [[Kimono Girl]]s upheld ancient tradition in both battling Pokémon and dancing. The buildings in both Ecruteak City and [[Violet City]] have an older structure to them as well. The player must navigate Johto and Kanto, beating the new Elite Four, sixteen Gym Leaders and the original [[Pokémon Champion]] {{ga|Red}}. This is after defeating the newly revitalized [[Team Rocket]], searching for the fallen [[Giovanni]]. The second generation expanded upon trading through use of [[held item]]s, evolution through the addition of [[friendship]], and {{pkmn|breeding}} to attain pre-evolution or baby Pokémon. Kurt offered a more traditional means of creating Poké Balls via [[Apricorn]]s which proved variably superior to manufactured Poké Balls. Johto is physically connected to Kanto and these games added depth to both regions.

==Trivia==
* Generation II is the smallest generation so far with only seven {{pkmn|games}} and three [[core series]] games.
* Generation II is the only generation in which:
** The starters are initially holding an {{DL|Berry (Generation II)|Berry|item}}.
** The starters remain {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} throughout their evolutions. They are also the only trio whose evolutions do not share any weaknesses with each other.
** The total number of moves are equal to the total number of Pokémon at the time.
** Each Pokémon has a different sprite in the original pair of games (except for {{p|Unown}} and the Johto [[legendary beasts|legendary trio]]).
* Generation II is also the only generation that did not introduce:
** New [[Fossil]] Pokémon nor any Fossils to be found or revived (though an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained through an [[in-game trade]]).
** A {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** A two-stage, cat-like evolutionary line.
** A new [[villainous team]].
** A new [[Victory Road]].
* In terms of release dates, Generation II is the shortest generation in Japan, with exactly three years between the release of Gold and Silver and Ruby and Sapphire.
* Generation II leaves the least extra space for Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Storage System}} if [[Living Pokédex|one of every species is caught]]. Only {{tt|280|270 Pokémon in the Japanese versions due to differences in storage}} Pokémon may be obtained at once; there are 251 different Pokémon species available in this generation.
* Generation II features the first main series game, Crystal, whose Japanese title is in katakana only ''and'' that uses an English word, rather than using the Japanese counterpart word in kanji. No game since has been named in kanji.
* Unlike in other generations, should the player use a glitch or cheat in a Generation II game to get into tall grass without a Pokémon, the fight will instantly end (and be treated as a victory in case of Trainers), instead of the player sending out a [[glitch Pokémon]].

:Yes as I understand it the same applies for other Generations as well as is shown below:
::'''Generation I''' ended when Pokemon Gold/Silver were released thus starting '''Generation II'''
::'''Generation II''' ended when Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire were released thus starting '''Generation III'''
::'''Generation III''' ended when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl were released thus starting '''Generation IV'''
::'''Generation IV''' will end when Pokemon Black/White are released thus starting '''Generation V'''

Therefore one generation ends when a another set of paired games are released, Remakes don't count. [[User:Pday2387|Pday2387]] 10:23, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

== Prototype Pokemon Names ==

I was digging around my old website to find some nifty tidbits to add to Bulbapedia, and I found this page: [http://pa4.pokemonaaah.net/pokemon/4-pokemon-game-boy/08-gs-pokedex.html G/S Prototype Names] I didn't make any of this up, a lot of it actually came from Bulbagarden and PokeFor back in the day.

== Incorrect Trivia? ==

I was reading this article when I came across this:

"Generation II is the only generation where:
Each Pokémon has a different sprite in each game (except for Unown and a few others)."

This doesn't sound right to me. Gen I had different sprites for all of their Pokemon, so Gen II isn't the only gen to do this. In addition, Pokemon Crystal didn't make new sprites for the Pokemon - they picked a sprite from G/S and animated it. So I think this part should be removed. [[User:Coronation|Coronation]] 01:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)
:There's also "Generation II is the only generation where the National Pokédex cannot be completed without another generation[...]," which doesn't make sense to me. I'm ''pretty'' sure you can't obtain Dialga and Palkia, Mewtwo, Deoxys, Ho-Oh and Lugia, and the Legendary Dogs (among others) in Black/White without obtaining them from a previous generation. Please correct me if I'm wrong. // [[User talk:Szayel Aporro|'''''SzayelAporroGranz''''']] 03:59, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
::At the first comment in this topic: I think that means that the sprites differed between games: i.e. Silver and Gold had different sprites whereas Red and Blue shared sprites.
::The second point is correct in that the article is incorrect. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]'''

== "Two-stage, cat-like evolutionary line" ==

Should we list out the Pokémon in this category that were introduced in the other generations?
*Generation I introduced {{p|Meowth}}/{{p|Persian}}
*Generation III introduced {{p|Skitty}}/{{p|Delcatty}}
*Generation IV introduced {{p|Glameow}}/{{p|Purugly}}
*Generation V introduced {{p|Purrloin}}/{{p|Liepard}}
It just seems appropriate, especially as readers who aren't aware of this fact might want to know what the other evolutionary lines are. Also, [[Generation I]] also points out the fact that a damaging move varying in type was not introduced and lists those that were in later generations, so it'd also improve consistency.

== Move tag request ==

If you think the article "Generation II" should be tagged for moving to a new title "Gold & Silver series", then will you please replace {{Template|Unknown name}} with [[Template:Move|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>move|Gold & Silver series<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]]? [[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 23:14, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

== Pure Starter Error ==

In the first paragraph of the Thematic motifs it states that every generation except VI has had one starter with a ''pure'' type final evolution. This is true, however generation IV also failed to introduce a final form starter that retains its single typing. Both Torterra, Infernape, and Empoleon are dual type Pokemon. Gen IV should be added to this sentence.

::'''Generation III''' ended when Pokemon Diamond/Pearl were released thus starting '''Generation IV'''

=== Blurb ===
''Follow Ash and friends as they adventure into a creepy, abandoned mineshaft and a haunted mansion. But beware - Team Rocket is close behind! Can the friends keep their cool in the spookiest of surroundings'' and ''defend themselves against archrivals Team Rocket?''

''Can they make friends with ghosts and remain friends with one another? Find out who ends up learning a lesson in the end!''
==Plot==
{{Incomplete plot book}}
This book follows the plot of the anime episode ''[[AG029|Ready, Willing, and Sableye]]''.
Ash and his friends are having lunch with their [[Pokémon]]. {{an|Brock}} asks [[Ash's Corphish]] to help him with the salad. Corphish uses its strong pincers to cut vegatables but soon gets overexcited and begins to chop up all the groups food. Ash voices his concern about Corphish attitude problem and the group agrees. Near by, {{an|Team Rocket}} arrive at an abandoned mineshaft. Planning to steal some leftover gold, they enter only to be scared off by a {{p|Sableye|creature with jewel eyes}}, who causes {{an|Meowth}} to faint. Soon afterward Ash and his friends arrive at the same mineshaft. They plan to scare Corphish into behaving better and soon put their plan into action. Meanwhile Mewoth wakes up, only to find that the Sableye is friendly and only likes to scare people. Sableye tells Meowth it is lonely in this cave and wishes for some company. They are in a large control room in the mine. There Meowth sees {{an|May}} and {{an|Max}} walking around through a window. Meowth hatches a plan to catch Sableye for his {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} by pretending to be it's friend and edging Sableye to scare Ash and his friends away.

Later, Ash puts his plan into action. He summons Corphish out of its [[Poké Ball]] and begins to spook it by telling it that ghosts live in the mine. On cue, a bed blanket ghost appears(which is actually {{an|Max}} on {{an|May|May's}} shoulders. This terrifies Corphish and in a panic it attacks the "ghost". Max and May tumble backward, causing the sheet to fall off. Corphish sees that it had been tricked and feeling betrayed, it run away into a side tunnel. Ash runs after it and Max and May stand up, voicing their shock on the situation. Suddenly, Sableye jumps out from shadows and scares the siblings. However, Max recognizes the Pokémon and aserts it isnt a dangerous ghost. May is curious and takes out her Pokédex. The Pokédex relays information on the Darkness Pokémon and May is relieved it is a harmless practical joker. Sableye, however, finds the whole affair funny and begins laughing. May, annoyed at Sableye's inconsideration, sends out her [[May's Blaziken|Torchic]] and commands it to use Ember. Sableye dodges the fiery raindrops by jumping up and crawling around ceiling. It then does on to defeat Torchic with swift Tackle. Accepting defeat, May returns Torchic to its Poké Ball. Suddenly Meowth appears and presses a button, trapping Max and May in a net.

In another part of the mine, Ash catches up with Corphish and leads it to the exit. He and Corphish meet up with Brock outside the cave and both voice their concern over Max and May. They have taken a long time to come out, leading Ash and Brock to re-enter the mine and look for them.
Corphish is still mad at Ash for tricking it and gives Ash the cold shoulder. The group have no idea they are being watching by Meowth and Sableye from the old control room. Meowth convinces Sableye to "scare" Ash and rest of his friends and Sableye,thinking it's a game, tags along. Sableye then begins to set up his practical joke. He causes rumbling noises inside the cave and sends an empty squeaky mine cart in Ash's direction. As Ash, Brock, and Corphish investigate the empty mine cart, Sableye swings down from the ceiling and licks the back of Ash's neck. Spooked Ash turns around and asks if [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] did it. Pikachu denies it and Sableye swings down again and licks the back of Brock's neck. Brock gets spooked as well and both [[Trainer|trainers]] become very frightened. Then, Meowth sneaks up on Corphish and smacks its shell, but sneaks away before Corphish can notice. Corphish turns around and sees Pikachu. Thinking Pikachu had hit it, it attacks Pikachu. Soon both begin an intense battle. Max and May watch helplessly from the control room, still in a net. Then May has an idea. She summons Torchic from its Poké Ball. It's still disoriented from fainting earlier but it manages to use Ember on the net, freeing its friends. May thanks Torchic and returns it to its Poké Ball to rest. Max and May then set out to help their friends.

Back inside the mine, Corphish and Pikachu are still fighting. Corphish launches {{m|BubbleBeam}} attacks while Pikachu hurls several {{m|Thunderbolt}} attacks. During their fight, Meowth appears suddenly and shoots another net at the Pokémon, trapping them. Ash confronts Meowth and openly wonders why a Sableye would be hanging out with Meowth. Meowth responds by saying they are now best friends and are working together. However at that moment, May barges into the scene with Max and begins to tell Sableye that Meowth is a lier and only wants to use Sableye to catch Pokémon. Meowth desperately protest and defends himself. Sableye is confused and stands around not knowing what to do, or who to trust. Suddenly, Team Rocket make an entrance. Grabbing the net containing Corphish and Pikachu, Jesse, James, and Meowth hop on a mine cart and make their escape. Ash sends his [[Ash's Swellow|Tailow]] after them but Jesse throws a powerful explosive, sending rocks tumbling down and trapping Ash and his friends inside. Sableye, now realizing its mistake, helps them escape via a secret tunnel. Once outside Sableye and Ash confront Team Rocket. Sableye cuts the nets holding Corphish and Pikachu. Then, Ash commands Corphish and Pikachu to use {{m|Crabhammer}} and {{m|Iron Tail}} on Team Rocket, respectively. Sableye finishes it off by blasting Team Rocket off with eerie rays from its gem eyes. The danger is over and the group thank Sableye. When Corphish also thanks Sableye, Ash notices Corphish has improved in attitude. As the group leaves, Sableye bids them farewell, happy to have made true friends.

== Are they still in "unfair mode"? ==

Just to ask, I'd like to know if Nintendo still offers these event Pokémon only when you physically move your butt into a certain event at some city. If, then I'm disappointed since as I live in Finland we've had as much as ONE Nintendo event so far, and that was in Helsinki, which is about 200km (124 miles) from where I reside. So, do they now offer them via Wi-Fi as well or is it still almost-only-Japan&America stuff? UltimateSephiroth ([[User:UltimateSephiroth|user]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|contrib]]) 22:58, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

If you ask me, it is totally unfair that Japan and America get all the events, while NONE of them have ever been in Canada. I finaly managed to get my first event pokemon pichu and the yellow forest, but those were via wifi. and even now, only the japanese can get the shiney legendary beasts/celebi, thus, I'll be forced to hack my games to get them.--[[User:KonguChaos|KonguChaos]]

:I think the "unfair" aspect is a matter of perspective. It's impossible for me to configure my DS to use Wi-Fi at the college I go to, which forced me to miss out on the Yellow Forest. I'm sure that, especially for younger children, it can be easier to go to a GameStop or Toys R Us, download the event, and leave, than to jump through the hoops it takes to configure and activate the Wi-Fi connection.

:And in regards to the shiny beast/Celebi events, they'll more likely than not occur in the U.S. later. Those events, particularly the shiny beasts, are to promote the 13th movie, which isn't due out in the U.S. for a while now.

==Requirements to be event Pokémon?==
For the game to recognize a Pokémon as an event Pokémon and open areas that weren't there before (Shinto Ruins, Regis' caves) and get a special Pokémon (One of the Pokémon from the dragon trio, Regigigas), what does it need to have? Caught in a cherish ball, have a certain ribbon, fateful encounter, etc.? {{unsigned|Fudgenuggets}}
:It's the Classic Ribbon and the coding that identifies what Pokémon it's on. You can hack a Cherish Ball and it won't do anything. Fateful Encounter won't either, because it's only the location data. The Classic Ribbon also keeps people from trading the Pokémon holding it over the GTS, since it's only on Event Pokémon, unless somebody hacks it. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 18:40, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, that's sucks. So unfair for people who don't have Wi-fi or don't live close enough to places where event Pokémon are being given away.

Did they ever released any event in D/P/Pt in which it was distributed all over the world by Wi-Fi? I hope they'll do that soon; our place haven't reached any event at all...

== Zorua and Zoroark?==
I was wondering why Zorua and Zoroark aren't included on the Generation V Event Pokémon list? They can only be seen in-game for GTS purposes; otherwise, you need a Fateful Encounter Celebi or a Crown Beast to obtain them. And to GTS them, ''someone'' needs to have a FE Celebi or CBeast.

== Link to Secure? ==

The external link at the bottom to Pokémon Secure seems wrong. The entire site (including the linked list) is closed to non-members, registration is all but closed, and the mods arbitrarily ban discussions on hacking which don't vilify "hackers" categorically. Wouldn't it be more congruous with Bulbapedia's wiki style community to link to [http://www.pkmdb.com/ a site where anyone can access the information]?
[[User:Nonasuomi|Nonasuomi]] 07:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

== Phione ==

Phione is indirectly an event Pokemon since it can only be obtained by breeding Manaphy, an event only Pokemon, so since Zorua and Zoroark are on the list, shouldn't Phione be here too? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 19:19, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

::: 幻のポケモン, the Japanese term that Mythical Pokémon is the translation of, is on ポケモン Wiki, and has all of these Pokémon listed except Zorua and Zoroark.

I don't think it is a good idea. The common term is Event Pokemon anyway. [[User:Pokemoninfo|Pokemoninfo]] 23:05, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
Mythical Pokémon simply falls under Event Pokémon. It refers to event-only species while the latter refers to those, as well as the Pokémon they give away at events. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 01:42, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== Dream World Events and Info on them ==

I noticed that I couldn't find out about the dream world events through Bulbapedia, so should we list ones from the past like the recent Eevee evolution event that ends May 5th? Maybe include info on the flash game your need to play (a variation on breakout in this case) to help people figure out how the evolution you receive is determined? Also I heard that the Pokemon is sent over after the event is completed (May 5th) and some people have been asking about that and why they haven't gotten theirs yet because they haven't heard about that.

:I'm still gathering info on DW promos, so just wait please :D For now, info on the game is found [[Pokémon.com online games#Play to Befriend a Pokémon!|here]]. On getting the evolution, it will be made available on the Promos section of Global Link.

== {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Zoroark}} ==

According to their main articles, they weren't given away in [[Generation V]], but it's still included as a method. Can someone see why this is the case? --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 21:40, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
:Their main pages are wrong. [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2010#All Nippon Airways Darkrai|They]] [[List of Japanese Nintendo event Pokémon in 2011#Pok.C3.A9mon Smash.21 Zoroark|were]] given away in [[Generation V]]. [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 22:24, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

== Can someone clarify this please. ==

"For Pokémon obtained in Generation IV onwards, the dates do not need to be the dates the events were held. This is because the date is based on the one set on the DS."

Does this mean you can change the date on your DS to a time during a past event and get that pokemon? That's what I'm reading it as but I just seriously doubt that it's possible so could someone clarify what this means?
[[User:Kevinjohn3d|Kevinjohn3d]] 15:00, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:It means that you could change the date to anything, and have a set of event Pokemon all 'recieved' on January 1, 2000, -- or any other date, say, 2020. You still needed to have been to/downloaded the event during the activity period though. [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 15:15, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== 3rd-31st December Victini UK ==

I have one and could give data but where does it go? 2011, obviously but then where PAL? Thanks--[[User talk:Epsilonexus|Epsilonexus]] 12:07, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah it is PAL isn't it for the UK. Ignore me...[[User talk:Epsilonexus|Epsilonexus]] 12:13, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

== Organisation of Lists of Event Pokemon ==

Is it still wise to have separate lists for NA and PAL event Pokemon? These days events seem to be organised by language. Sure there's the VGC Larvitar only available (in English) in the UK, and the secret eggs only for the US, but these appear to be exceptions to a newly established rule (the rule being that important/cool events are distributed over wi-fi to english games, not in stores). If Keldeo is distributed over wi-fi to English-language games and not in stores then that will cement this new rule, but as Victini was sent over Wi-fi I'm guessing Keldeo will be too. Keep older lists separated by PAL/NA, back when it made sense, now it just seems redundant listing the same pokemon it two different lists.

Also when it says North America it appears to only mean the USA and English speaking Canada. Are there no spanish wi-fi events for Mexico and Central america (or the spanish speaking population of US)? What about french wi-fi events for Quebec? [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 17:26, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
:For the organisation, the change has been decided on already (See here: [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/event-organisation-121807/]), it's just taking time to actually implement because there are so many. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 00:14, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

== Spiky-Eared Pichu & Rotom's extra formes ==

Should the Spiky-Eared Pichu and extra Rotom formes be added to the gen IV section? Spiky-Eared Pichu could only be obtained through an event, and in Platinum you could only obtain Rotom's extra formes through one as well. I'm aware that they've since become available through other games without requiring events (such as hg/ss, b/w, etc.) but then again so have Zorua and Zoroark, both of which are on the list. I personally feel that they would fit well since they were event-only Pokemon at the time of their original releases in main series games.

== Leaked Pokemon ==

I know officially they are unannounced by Nintendo and a considered rumors but many websites support the two seemingly leaked Pokémon Volcanion and Hoopa. Shouldn't we add these to the events and create articles on them --[[User:Pimpchar|Pimpchar]] ([[User talk:Pimpchar|talk]]) 01:38, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

F.E.A.R.

2014-04-11T02:05:50Z

Pimpchar: thought this sounded a little less awkard

'''F.E.A.R.''' is a last-resort strategy used in competitive battling, normally usable only once per battle. A "F.E.A.R. Pokémon" is a Pokémon compatible with a certain moveset capable of defeating a full-HP opponent at virtually any level (most notably level 100) while it itself is only at level 1 or 2, the reason for this strategy's bragging rights.

F.E.A.R. generally stands for:
*{{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}
*{{m|Endeavor}}
*{{m|Quick Attack|(Quick) Attack}}
*{{p|Rattata}} (Rattata are not the only Pokémon that can use F.E.A.R; multiple Pokémon can fit this role.)

The original term, coined by strategists as humor, was "'''F'''***ing '''E'''vil '''A'''nnoying '''R'''odent".

The strategy (and original profanity-laden term) was originally conceived on GameFAQs' Pokémon Diamond [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.php?board=925601 message board] in early 2007.

==How to use F.E.A.R.==
After one of the player's Pokémon faints, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be sent out against an opponent's Pokémon with (preferably) full HP. During the first turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will use Endeavor, and the opponent will most likely use an offensive attack to try to defeat the F.E.A.R. Pokémon (assuming, of course, that the opponent isn't aware of this strategy). The F.E.A.R. Pokémon would indeed faint, if it were not holding the Focus Sash, which allows the user to hold on to 1 HP after a hit which would otherwise knock it out from max-HP. When the Pokémon uses Endeavor, the HP of the opponent's Pokémon will equal the HP of its own (which is now, assuming Focus Sash triggered, equal to 1). During the following turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can use Quick Attack to wipe out the remaining 1 HP of the opponent's Pokémon. Focus Sash will not work twice, so a Pokémon can only use this strategy once.

In Generation V, the Ability {{a|Sturdy}} was altered to function like a Focus Sash, but can activate multiple times providing the Pokémon regains all of its HP. With this change came new notable users of F.E.A.R. - A level 2 {{p|Probopass}} can use {{m|Pain Split}} to wear down the opponent's HP whilst healing itself, whereas {{p|Aron}} can use a combination of Endeavor and a held {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}} for multiple uses of Endeavor. Generation V also introduced {{p|Solosis}}, a Pokémon able to combine {{a|Magic Guard}} and Endeavor, but also set up {{m|Trick Room}} for its allies.

==Countering F.E.A.R.==
While an impressive strategy, F.E.A.R. is simple to counter. The following are several ways to counter the F.E.A.R. strategy:
* Knowledge: The simplest strategy and perhaps the most effective. If the opponent knows the F.E.A.R. strategy, they won't attack as needed for it to work (a damaging move), or they will switch out for a Pokémon immune to it or easily able to counter it. Besides the other counters listed here, a player could switch out after the opponent's F.E.A.R. uses Endeavor, leaving it with 1 HP and another Pokémon to sweep the F.E.A.R. However, if the F.E.A.R.-using player predicts correctly, this problem can be solved using {{m|Pursuit}}.
* {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon: As Ghost types are immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} attacks, Endeavor and Quick Attack are useless against them.
** It should be noted however, that a F.E.A.R. {{p|Kangaskhan}} or {{p|Taillow}}{{tt|*|Generation V, Dream World}} with {{a|Scrappy}} will still be able to use Endeavor against a Ghost-type Pokémon.
* A Pokémon with {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Extreme Speed}}, {{m|Sucker Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, or other automatic, first-hit effects: If the opponent uses an increased-[[priority]] move at the same time as the F.E.A.R. Pokémon does, the large difference in level will almost always result in the opponent's Pokémon landing the hit first, leaving the opponent with little HP, but leaving the F.E.A.R. player with one Pokémon down. However, in Generation V, {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Extreme Speed}} have +2 priority, and are not countered by +1 priority moves.
* If the foe acts last due to battling in {{m|Trick Room}}{{tt|*|assuming the foe is faster than the F.E.A.R. Pokémon}}, holding a {{DL|Incense|Full Incense}}, using a decreased-priority move, or doing something similar, its attack will leave the F.E.A.R. Pokémon with approximately 12 hit points after the first turn and the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will only have 1 hit point, causing an easy sweep on the second turn.
* A move that damages foes upon switching in (like {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}) can cancel out the Focus Sash effect, thus causing the foe to be unable to withstand a one-hit KO. This only works if the F.E.A.R. Pokémon isn't released prior to that move.
** Note that Doduo, Taillow, Starly, Togekiss, and Shaymin in its Sky Forme are immune to Spikes.
* Moves, [[status condition]]s, Abilities, and weather that deal damage every turn (like {{weather|sandstorm}} or {{status|burn}}) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{p|Tyranitar}} or {{p|Abomasnow}} activates its Ability.
** Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy, Aron, Corsola, Wormadam (Sandy and Trash Cloaks) and Swinub are immune to sandstorm (and the last one to {{weather|hail}} as well.)
* {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} prevent the foe from using any item, in this case Focus Sash.
** Do note that, somewhat counter-intuitively, {{m|Knock Off}} will '''NOT''' serve to KO a F.E.A.R. Pokémon if it is at 100% HP unless Embargo is in effect. The F.E.A.R. Pokémon's Focus Sash will be knocked off ''after'' it has been successfully activated, and the Pokémon will still be able to use Endeavor to reduce the foe's HP.
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Black Sludge}}{{tt|*|in the case of Poison-type foes}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}, and a {{stat|HP}}-restoring [[Berry]] return some HP to the user's Pokémon, and more than likely, more than the opposing F.E.A.R. can deal with its increased-priority move.
* F.E.A.R.: Ironically, a way to combat a F.E.A.R. Pokémon is having it face another F.E.A.R. Pokémon (or some other low-level Pokémon). Having roughly the same HP, both F.E.A.R.s would do little damage towards each other. It isn't, however, practical or useful to carry a F.E.A.R. Pokémon just for the sake of combating another F.E.A.R., as both Pokémon are about evenly-matched.
* {{p|Shedinja}} and its {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability will make Endeavor unable to hit.
** Note that Sucker Punch and {{m|Shadow Sneak}} can be used to KO Shedinja, but only after its probably existent Focus Sash has been activated or otherwise rendered useless.
* [[Multi-strike move]]s, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Rock Blast}}, will negate Focus Sash and Sturdy.
* In [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, having multiple Pokémon use moves that will hit the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will cause it to faint, since the Focus Sash will only activate for the first attack.
* Although [[Generation V]] modified Sturdy to act like a Focus Sash, the Abilities {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}} and {{a|Teravolt}} ignore this effect, countering any attempt to use F.E.A.R. with Sturdy.
* If the F.E.A.R. Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}} with the Ability {{a|Sturdy}}, moves which render items useless, such as {{m|Thief}} or {{m|Knock Off}} can be used.
* In Generation V, multi-strike move such as {{m|Fury Attack}} or {{m|Triple Kick}} can be used to attack a F.E.A.R. Pokémon. As such, the Focus Sash or Sturdy Ability will activate before the last hit is dealt, allowing the last hit to finish off the F.E.A.R. Pokémon.
* As Endeavor makes contact, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be finished off when its opponent is carrying a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}} or has the Ability {{a|Rough Skin}} or {{a|Iron Barbs}}.

== Catching Pokémon with F.E.A.R. ==

By using F.E.A.R. while skipping the priority move, players can lower a target Pokémon's HP to 1, similar to using {{m|False Swipe}}, and more easily catch it than by battling it normally. After the wild Pokémon's HP has been lowered to 1, the player may freely begin throwing [[Poké Ball]]s and have a high chance of successfully capturing the Pokémon. A {{p|Cottonee}} may also inflict a priority paralysis (with {{a|Prankster}}) to further increase the [[catch rate]].

'''Waterfall''' (Japanese: '''たきのぼり''' ''Waterfall Climb'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM07]] in [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}; it is [[HM05]] as of [[Generation V]]. Prior to Generation II, it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I-III====
Waterfall does damage and has no secondary effect.

====Generation IV onwards====
Along with damage, Waterfall now also has a 20% chance of causing the target to {{status|flinch}}.

===Outside of battle===
====Generation II and on====
Waterfall has an effect outside battle that allows players to climb waterfalls. Note that in Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|III}}, the HM move Waterfall is not required to go down waterfalls, whereas in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} versions, it is required. This is probably to prevent players from getting stuck from accidentally going down a waterfall and being unable to get back up. Despite this, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} versions, it is no longer required to go down waterfalls, likely because of a lack of accessible down falls without first climbing up one.

Gym Leader

2014-04-08T15:25:20Z

Pimpchar:

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective Gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon [[type]] and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a {{type|Water}} Gym or flowers and plants in a {{type|Grass}} Gym). According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader.

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym. Some of them founded their Gym and are self-appointed; others, such as [[Whitney]], are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. A few appear to be passed on through families: [[Janine]], [[Falkner]], and [[Flannery]] all take over their respective Gyms from a close family member. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family; [[Roark]] and his father [[Byron]] are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position; examples include [[Koga]], [[Giovanni]], and [[Wallace]].

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Colosseum Leader]]s and [[Club Master]]s are not considered Gym Leaders.

==Pokémon used==
Almost all Leaders rely on a single [[type]] of Pokémon. For example, [[Erika]] uses only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in official Gym {{pkmn|battle}}s. Some Leaders, however, stray from this mold, albeit rarely. This is evidenced by the different types used by {{ga|Blue}} during his reign as the Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Generation II and IV, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so. However, many Gym Leaders have one or two Pokémon that stray from their type theme.

Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader, [[Crasher Wake]], uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon, a direct allusion to the flooded marsh that surrounds the area and the constant downpour that plagues [[Pastoria City]]. Another example of this is the [[Cinnabar Gym]] Leader, [[Blaine]], who uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and lives in a volcanic area.

The character archetype can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses. For example, [[Roark]] and [[Byron]] are both miners, who use the related {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. [[Tate and Liza]] could be based on the archetype of twins who can communicate telepathically, and thus train {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and being twins, they also battle opposing Trainers in Double Battles, being the only Leaders to do so.

==In the games==
[[File:Vs Brawly.png‎|frame|right|Leader [[Brawly]] challenges the player]]A '''Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the [[Trainer class]] name given to the Gym Leaders when they are battled in the [[Pokémon games]]. Despite Gym Leaders themselves being introduced in [[Generation I]], the name did not appear onscreen until [[Generation II]], and has been incorporated into every game since. Gym Leaders are integral within the Pokémon universe. In order for one to advance in the game, the player must occasionally challenge and defeat the leader of a [[Gym]]. Each game is designed in such a way that the player will not be able to move forward until they receive a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] which will, in turn, either allow them to use a [[HM]] to overcome natural obstacles, or trigger a necessary event to continue with the game. It is one of the player's main objectives to collect eight Gym Badges, allowing him or her to challenge the [[Elite Four]].

Leaders do not seem to be required to be in their Gyms at all times. [[Giovanni]], for example, could keep his title as a Gym Leader despite not being at the [[Viridian Gym]] during the majority of the events of [[Generation I]], and his successor, {{ga|Blue}}, was also absent from the Gym several times. Beginning in [[Generation IV]], Leaders are increasingly encountered outside of their Gyms, evident in the remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the Leaders have to be found in different locations at specific times before they can [[Pokégear#Gym Leader phone listing|exchange phone numbers]] with the player for a [[Fighting Dojo#Gym Leader Rematch Schedule|rematch at the Fighting Dojo]]. Some Leaders even appear across regions, such as [[Jasmine]] appearing in [[Sunyshore City]], [[Crasher Wake]] on {{rt|47|Johto}}, and [[Maylene]] in [[Celadon City]]. Leaders can even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do). In later games, it is made apparent that Gym Leaders know each other and are acquainted with Gym Leaders from other regions, as well as with members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. Examples of this are Jasmine being friends with [[Erika]], Volkner being friends with {{EF|Flint}}, [[Brawly]] training with [[Bruno]], and most [[Unova]] Gym Leaders coming together to fight [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].

In addition, some Gym Leaders may be required to use Pokemon different then their usual team, such as [[Cheren]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. Due to their larger AI, Gym Leaders are also one of the few Trainers to employ the use of one or several [[Potion]] when battling. The use of a Potion is usually triggered by their Pokémon's HP falling into the red.

===Gym Trainers===
In addition to Gym Leaders, there are also Gym Trainers. While not an official [[Trainer class]], they are Trainers that are either a devotee or apprentice to the Gym Leader, who follow the same type theme as the Leader does. It is usually necessary to defeat multiple Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leader. Some Gyms in the game require the player to solve a puzzle, and one must often use Gym Trainers as obstacles to reach the solution. They have no direct impact on the overall plot, other than rarely offering the player helpful advice. It is also worth noting that the type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} appearing in a Gym will depend on the Gym itself. For instance, [[Gardenia]] employs {{tc|Aroma Lady|Aroma Ladies}} and {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}, exclusively, while [[Misty]] recruits {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Swimmer}}s; these Gym Leaders represent the [[type]]s {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
Since there seems to be many more [[Gym]]s in the anime than in other media, as evidenced by many Badges that do not belong to Gyms shown in other media, it follows that there would be many more Gym Leaders.

In the anime, Gym Leaders seem to be forbidden from [[Recall|switching]] their Pokémon. Those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch; however, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. Yet, in the games, although a considerably rare event, they may switch their Pokémon as often as any other Trainer.

A notable occurrence in the anime is that one does not necessarily have to defeat the Gym Leader to obtain a Badge. Badges are given out on a case by case basis based on whether or not the Gym Leader feels as though the Trainer has earned it. {{an|Misty}} has often berated Ash on several occasions noting that he didn't properly earn all of his Gym Badges.

According to Misty, Ash really only ''earned'' about 3 Badges and the other 5 Badges were ''given'' to him on a technicality:

*In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', Brock ''gives'' Ash the {{badge|Boulder}} after Pikachu's Electric attack caused a fire, ultimately setting off the Gym's sprinklers and weakening {{TP|Brock|Onix}} enough to allow Pikachu to fight back with another Electric attack.

*Misty ''gave'' the {{badge|Cascade}} to Ash in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'' after Pikachu's Thunderbolt saved the Gym and its Water Pokémon from Team Rocket's giant vacuum machine.

*''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'' is the first episode in which Ash can actually be considered as having ''earned'' a badge. His Pikachu struck Lt. Surge's {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} in the stomach, hammering it with what can be described as an electric Slam attack, thus earning Ash the {{badge|Thunder}}.

*Sabrina's {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} was defeated in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' only as a result of Haunter making Sabrina and Kadabra laugh so much as to render the latter unable to battle. Thanks to the Haunter Ash met in the [[Pokémon Tower]], the {{badge|Marsh}} was ''given'' to him by Sabrina.

*The {{badge|Rainbow}} was ''given'' to Ash after he saved Erika's {{TP|Erika|Gloom}} from her burning Gym caused by Team Rocket's blaster bomb in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''

*Ash ''earned'' the {{badge|Soul}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'' after his Charmander defeated Koga's {{TP|Koga|Golbat}} with Ember and Fire Spin.

*In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', Ash's Charizard delivered a devastating defeat to Blaine's {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} by using an aerial Submission followed by a Seismic Toss. Thus Ash leaves Cinnabar Island having ''earned'' the {{badge|Volcano}}.

*Ash's eighth and final Gym Badge was ''given'' to him after Jessie, James and Meowth accidentally rigged their own platform to explode, blasting themselves off in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. The {{badge|Earth}} is then seen falling into Ash's hands as the Viridian City Gym collapses.

There is also an entire league exclusive to the anime where the Gym Leaders all have special requirements in order to gain their Gym Badges, the [[Orange League]], located on the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Needs other manga}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in ''Adventures'', one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills.

Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly probable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it, with the most well-known example being the Hoenn Gym Leaders gathering at [[Fortree City]] during the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team—[[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]]—they should support. They also tend to help [[Pokédex holder]]s to fight the villains who are usually behind different crises, a great example being the Sinnoh Gym Leaders fighting [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.
All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses and one draw.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{GnB|Gold}} meets many Gym Leaders in his travels, as it is his goal to collect all eight Gym Badges. The first Gym Leader challenged by Gold was [[Falkner]], who he defeated in ''[[GB02|Falkner The Bird Keeper's Challenge!!]]''. He defeats [[Bugsy]] in ''[[GB06|Get up Again, Bayleef]]''. He meets [[Whitney]] in ''[[GB08|For Pikachu's Sake!! The Search For The Missing Farfetch'd]]'' and loses to her in battle, so she takes away his {{p|Pikachu}} temporarily. Whitney travels with Gold for a while, arriving at the [[Pokémon Summit]], a conference for Gym Leaders and Pokémon researchers, in ''[[GB11|Gold and Black VS Team Rocket]]''. Gold finally defeats Whitney in ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', earning his Pikachu back as well as the {{Badge|Plain}}.

In ''[[GB14|Let's Fight! The Mini Pokémon Tournament]]'', [[Morty]] offers Gold the {{Badge|Fog}} for free, as he is unable to battle him at the time due to other commitments and he believes that Gold has already demonstrated his fighting skills by defending the Pokémon Summit against [[Team Rocket]]. However, Gold refuses, insisting that he must battle Morty another time and earn the Badge properly. He meets [[Jasmine]] in ''[[GB17|A Spectacular Battle To Save Ampharos]]'' and [[Chuck]] in ''[[GB21|The Secret Of The Fighting Type Pokémon]]''. As the manga ended abruptly, [[Pryce]] and [[Clair]] never appeared, nor did the [[Pokémon League]].

==Trivia==
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{t|Ghost}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Even though there are 51 known Gyms in the games, with 58 Gym Leaders among them, there has not yet been a Gym specializing in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, although there have been three [[Elite Four]] members; [[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]. All the other seventeen types have at least one Gym associated with them. {{type|Electric}} specialist Gyms appear in five of the six regions.
* The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]], [[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza]], [[Roark]] and [[Clemont]].
** Among those, Roark is the only one whose mother has not been seen in the anime.
** Janine, Roark, Maylene, Cheren and Roxie are the only ones who have a parent the {{player}} can encounter in the games. Koga, Giovanni, [[Norman]], and Byron are the only Gym Leaders whose children can be encountered, or in Norman's case, played as, in the games.
** Other in-game relatives of Gym Leaders include Clair's [[Lance|cousin]], Blue's [[Professor Oak|grandfather]] and [[Daisy Oak|sister]], [[Viola]]'s [[Alexa|sister]], [[Korrina]]'s [[Gurkinn|grandfather]] and [[Clemont]]'s [[Bonnie|sister]]. Additionally, Tate and Liza are brother and sister, while Cilan, Chili, and Cress are brothers.
* For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi'' "Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me".
* In the Johto saga of the anime, none of the Gym Leaders had exactly the same lineups as they do in the games.
* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in his or her party that knows the [[TM]] move he or she gives out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.
* From Generations I-V (not counting remakes), every move that was in a TM given out by a Gym Leader was a new move for that generation, and many of them were rarely (if ever) seen on any other Pokemon in the generation they were introduced. This trend has been broken in Generation VI, where only three Gym Leaders—Viola, Korrina, and Valerie—hand out TMs with moves new to the generation.
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player can continue the game without defeating [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] until attempting to battle the Elite Four.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders are the only Gym Leaders not to have VS sprites, since these sprites were not introduced until [[Generation IV]] and the Pokémon World Tournament does not use VS sprites.
* The Orange League is the only one so far in which Ash has successfully defeated all the Gym Leaders without a rematch.
