Pokérus

2021-11-08T22:58:20Z

Pokechu22: /* Generation III */ ruby allows spreading and contracting to happen at the same time. pokemon_3.c line 833 seems to also exclude eggs contracting it (but I guess it can still spread to them); I haven't documented this since I don't know the details/if this is generation specific

The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Generation 8 info, contraction, chance of spreading, etc}}
When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon after a battle, making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. If any of the player's Pokémon are infected, the Pokérus may spread among Pokémon in the player's party after any battle.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

The Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. The Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon and only if they have never had Pokérus before. {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch the Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future. The Pokémon still gains double effort values when cured.

Due to the beneficial nature of the Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], or [[Pokémon HOME]] in [[Generation VIII]].

In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of the Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building. This does not happen in any other generation.

====Technical information====
The Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of the Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of the Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by the Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus.

=====Strains=====
Whenever the game creates the Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values

| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever the Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of the Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had the Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "tiny life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had the Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen. Pokérus can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s as well. An indicator for Pokérus will not show up on the {{pkmn|Egg}}'s status screen, but once it hatches, it will appear under its status on the status screen like normal.

If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract the Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

The Pokérus cannot randomly occur before the player has visited [[Goldenrod City]]<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L19-L20 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 19-20]</ref> (but it may spread between Pokémon before then). If a Pokémon in the party has the Pokérus, other Pokémon cannot randomly contract it; they can only receive it from that Pokémon.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L7-L10 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 7-10]</ref> {{p|Shuckle}} will also only produce [[Berry Juice]] after [[Goldenrod City]] has been visited.<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L125-L126 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 125-126]</ref>

====Generation III====
The Pokérus can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with the Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread the Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.

Otherwise, the Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, but it is now possible for the Pokérus to be randomly contracted even when another Pokémon in the party already has it (and the Pokérus can spread after the same battle where it was contracted)<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokeruby/blob/a3228d4c86494ee25aff60fc037805ddc1d47d32/src/battle_main.c#L5125-L5129 pret/pokeruby: battle_main.c lines 5125-5129]</ref> and there is no location requirement before the Pokérus can randomly be contracted. Eggs infected with Pokérus will now indicate as such.

====Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. The Pokérus doubles the [[Effort value|EVs]] earned from [[Power item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player a little while after healing their first Pokémon with the Pokérus and tells them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

====Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had the Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

=====Pseudorandom number generation=====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

====Generation VI====
In Generation VI, the Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has the Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

====Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has the Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured. An Egg infected with the Pokérus does not have this symbol on its summary screen. It can still spread the virus normally, and the Pokémon that hatches from the Egg will immediately acquire the icon.

Pokérus is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

====Generation VIII====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Info about eggs & battles}}
A Pokémon's summary screen will show a Pokérus icon.

===Comments===
====Generation II====
=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> appear to have tiny life forms stuck to them. Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> are healthy and seem to be fine. But we can't tell you anything more at a <sc>Pokémon Center</sc>.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
''"Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!"''

====Generation III====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught the Pokérus]]
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to <sc>Pokémon</sc>. While infected, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation IV====
=====Nurse's comments=====

"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Yes, it's like a virus, so it's called <sc>Pokérus</sc>. It multiplies fast and infects other <sc>Pokémon</sc> too. But that's all. It doesn't seem to do anything, and it goes away over time. I guess it's nothing to worry about. Bye!''"

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====Generation V====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

==In the anime==
In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of his Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with the Pokérus to [[Evolution|evolve]] them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens had died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Platinum}}====
The Pokérus was discussed in ''[[PS439|Alternate Dimension Showdown IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{TP|Platinum|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and then it spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realize that the infection is, in fact, the Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* The Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Generation 8 info, contraction, chance of spreading, etc}}
When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon after a battle, making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. If any of the player's Pokémon are infected, the Pokérus may spread among Pokémon in the player's party after any battle.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

The Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. The Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon and only if they have never had Pokérus before. {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch the Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future. The Pokémon still gains double effort values when cured.

Due to the beneficial nature of the Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], or [[Pokémon HOME]] in [[Generation VIII]].

In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of the Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building. This does not happen in any other generation.

====Technical information====
The Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of the Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of the Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by the Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus.

=====Strains=====
Whenever the game creates the Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".

Whenever the Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of the Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had the Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "tiny life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had the Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen. Pokérus can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s as well. An indicator for Pokérus will not show up on the {{pkmn|Egg}}'s status screen, but once it hatches, it will appear under its status on the status screen like normal.

If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract the Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

The Pokérus cannot randomly occur before the player has visited [[Goldenrod City]]<ref>[https://github.com/pret/pokegold/blob/74bffc2c8dd0b5b1873e51bc53e83177f35f7020/engine/events/pokerus/pokerus.asm#L19-L20 pret/pokegold: pokerus.asm lines 19-20]</ref> (but it may spread between Pokémon before then).

====Generation III====
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with the Pokérus will keep it indefinitely (it can't spread the Pokérus, either), until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.

=====Nurse's comments=====
[[File:Pokerus screenshot RSE.png|thumb|right|240px|A player being told their Pokémon has caught the Pokérus]]
"''Your <sc>Pokémon</sc> may be infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc>. Little is known about the <sc>Pokérus</sc> except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to <sc>Pokémon</sc>. While infected, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation IV====
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely. Starting in this Generation, the Pokérus will double the [[Effort value|EVs]] obtained from the [[Power item]]s.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] calls the player a little while after healing their first Pokémon with the Pokérus and tells them that it has no effect and will wear off. If he is called back, he will claim that Pokémon will level up better with the Pokérus while infected.

=====Nurse's comments=====

"''Your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic life-forms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

=====Elm's explanation=====
When calling the player: "''Hello, <player>? I discovered an odd thing. Apparently there's something called <sc>Pokérus</sc> that infects <sc>Pokémon</sc>.

When called by the player: "''Hello, <player>? It seems that <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have been infected with <sc>Pokérus</sc> level up better. We're not quite sure why..."''

====Generation V====
The mechanics remain more or less the same, but now the icon that appears if a Pokémon has previously had the Pokérus is pinkish in color instead of the former yellow/orange color.

=====Pseudorandom number generation=====
To determine if any Pokémon in the player's party is to be infected, the game calls the {{wp|Mersenne twister}} table to get a 32-bit random number, discards the lowest 16 bits, and then discards the highest two bits (a bitwise ''and'' with 0x3FFF). If this number is 0, the game will choose a Pokémon in the party to be infected.

To determine what party member is to be infected, the game takes another value from the Mersenne twister table, multiplies it by the party count, then discards the lowest 32 bits of the result. If this number is an Egg, the calculation is repeated. Otherwise, if that party member has already been infected, nothing else will happen.

If a Pokémon will be infected, the game takes the next value from the Mersenne twister table and discards the lowest 24 bits (if the lowest three bits of this result are all 0, another number is chosen). If any of the highest four bits are nonzero, the highest five bits are discarded. The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation VI====
In Generation VI, the Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has the Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has the Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured. An Egg infected with the Pokérus does not have this symbol on its summary screen. It can still spread the virus normally, and the Pokémon that hatches from the Egg will immediately acquire the icon.

Pokérus is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

==In the anime==
In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of his Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with the Pokérus to [[Evolution|evolve]] them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens had died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Platinum}}====
The Pokérus was discussed in ''[[PS439|Alternate Dimension Showdown IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{TP|Platinum|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and then it spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realize that the infection is, in fact, the Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* The Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

Pokérus

2021-11-07T02:27:54Z

Pokechu22: /* Generation II */ will not randomly occur until the player has visited Goldenrod City, though it can spread; also, it can't randomly occur if already present (it either will spread or will occur but not both). Berry Juice production is tied to the same flag.

{{spading|Pokérus}}
[[File:Pokérus Adventures.png|thumb|right|230px|Pokémon infected with Pokérus in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus''), from "Pokémon virus", is a microscopic life-form that may attach to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is a beneficial mechanic that a Pokémon can obtain.

==In the games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Generation 8 info, contraction, chance of spreading, etc}}
When a Pokémon has the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort values]] from battling (e.g., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). Effort points gained from [[vitamin]]s and [[wing]]s are not doubled. The infected Pokémon can infect other Pokémon with the virus for a period of one to four days. However, the Pokérus timer can be delayed by several methods such as by placing the infected Pokémon in a PC Box.

While it is represented similarly to [[status condition]]s, the Pokérus is not a status condition, so it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status condition healing item]].

Pokérus has a 3 in 65,536 or approximately a 1 in 21,845 chance of being generated on one of the {{player}}'s Pokémon after a battle, making it rarer than encountering or hatching a [[Shiny Pokémon]]. If any of the player's Pokémon are infected, the Pokérus may spread among Pokémon in the player's party after any battle.

From [[Generation IV]] onward, the Pokérus became more accessible, with worldwide trading facilitated by [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

===Infection===
When a Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, their status screen will display an icon indicating this special "status" the same way status conditions would be noted. If the Pokémon becomes affected by a status condition such as {{status|Sleep}}, the Pokérus icon will be temporarily replaced until the status condition is cured. As long as the Pokémon is infected with the Pokérus, it can spread the virus to other Pokémon in the player's party.

The Pokérus may spread if an infected Pokémon is in the player's party after a battle. The Pokérus may only spread to a Pokémon directly adjacent to an already infected Pokémon and only if they have never had Pokérus before. {{pkmn|Egg}}s may catch the Pokérus like any other Pokémon.

===Becoming cured===
A Pokérus infection only progresses towards cured status when a new day starts with the infected Pokémon in the party (or if, when the game is loaded, it is not the same day as it was when the game was saved). The number of days before a Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus can vary from one to four days. Once this time has passed, the Pokémon becomes cured and will be immune to the virus in the future. The Pokémon still gains double effort values when cured.

Due to the beneficial nature of the Pokérus, players will often place an infected Pokémon in the [[PC]] where it will keep the infection indefinitely, so that it may be withdrawn to spread the virus at will. Other options include putting a Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Day Care}} or sending it to {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} in [[Generation II]], {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} in [[Generation III]], [[My Pokémon Ranch]] in [[Generation IV]], [[Pokémon Bank]] in [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], or [[Pokémon HOME]] in [[Generation VIII]].

In Generation III, if the player deposits an infected Pokémon inside a PC, saves inside a Pokémon Center prior to midnight, shuts off the game, resumes the game after midnight, withdraws the infected Pokémon from the PC, and exits the Pokémon Center, it is possible for the infected Pokémon to be cured of the Pokérus upon stepping outside of the building. This does not happen in any other generation.

====Technical information====
The Pokérus is stored in a Pokémon's [[Pokémon data structure|data structure]] as a single byte. In hexadecimal, this can be represented as a two-digit number '''XY'''. The upper 4 bits of the byte, '''X''', represent the specific strain of the Pokérus the Pokémon has contracted. The lower 4 bits, '''Y''', represent the number of days remaining before the infected Pokémon is cured of the virus.

A Pokémon is or has been infected if '''X''' (the strain) is a nonzero value. If '''Y''' (days remaining) is nonzero when '''X''' is also nonzero, this means the Pokémon is currently infected. If '''Y''' is 0 and '''X''' is nonzero, then the Pokémon is "cured" of the Pokérus. If both '''X''' and '''Y''' are 0, then the Pokémon has never been affected by the Pokérus.

Whenever the game's internal clock strikes midnight, every currently infected Pokémon in the player's party has their Pokérus value decreased by one. Once the '''Y''' value reaches 0, the Pokémon will be cured of the Pokérus.

=====Strains=====
Whenever the game creates the Pokérus on a Pokémon, the value assigned to '''Y''' (days) depends on the value assigned to '''X''' (strain). Specifically, the number of days will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1. In other words, the higher two bits of '''X''' are irrelevant to the "strain".
{| class="roundy" style="text-align:center; border: 3px solid #A54ACE; background: #D67BFF"
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Strain
! style="background: #EFA5EF" | X values
! style="background: #EFA5EF; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Duration (Y value)
|- style="background: #fff"
| A || 0, 4, 8, 12 || 1 day
|- style="background: #fff"
| B || 1, 5, 9, 13 || 2 days
|- style="background: #fff"
| C || 2, 6, 10, 14 || 3 days
|-
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | D
| style="background: #fff" | 3, 7, 11, 15
| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 4 days
|}

Whenever the Pokérus spreads from an infected Pokémon to a new Pokémon, the new Pokémon inherits the infected Pokémon's strain of the Pokérus ('''X''') and '''Y''' is set to the default value for that strain. As an example, if a Pokémon has the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 2 (2 days remaining before it will be cured) and it infects another Pokémon, the new Pokémon will get the Pokérus with an '''X''' value of 7 and a '''Y''' value of 4 (4 days before it will be cured).

'''X''' values of 0 are not legitimate, since upon being "cured" the Pokémon would appear to have never had the Pokérus at all.

===After having the virus===
Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV and onward, it will be a small face. Though the virus is gone, the Pokémon will still gain twice the {{EV}}s it would have gained before the virus.

===Differences between generations===
====Generation II====
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the [[Pokémon Center Nurse|nurse]] at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "tiny life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off. A Pokémon with active Pokérus will list its status as such, and a Pokémon that has had the Pokérus and is cured will have a small dot near its HP meter on the status screen. Pokérus can infect {{pkmn|Egg}}s as well. An indicator for Pokérus will not show up on the {{pkmn|Egg}}'s status screen, but once it hatches, it will appear under its status on the status screen like normal.

If a Pokémon with any stage of the Pokérus (active or cured) is traded back to a [[Generation I]] game, or withdrawn from [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games, thereby making it possible for a Pokémon to legitimately contract the Pokérus multiple times by trading it back and forth, once it becomes cured of a given infection. The only benefit of doing so would be to allow other Pokémon to contract the virus.

The resulting number will be '''X''', the Pokérus strain; the duration of the virus will be set to '''X''' modulo 4 + 1.

These calculations mean that the strains 0 and 8 will never occur, and that the remaining strains are biased towards the lower numbers (with 1 through 7 being much more common than 9 through 15).

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation VI====
In Generation VI, the Pokérus does not affect EVs gained from [[Super Training]]. However, it increases the rate of [[Double-Up Bag]]s that are received during the training regimen. The icon that appears if a Pokémon has the Pokérus has been changed to spell out the full word, while the cured icon uses a design similar to the Gen V icon, with the mouth and eyes having a white color.

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation VII====
During battle, a Pokémon's summary will display a "Pokérus" icon beside its name if it has the Pokérus. The icon remains after the Pokémon is cured. An Egg infected with the Pokérus does not have this symbol on its summary screen. It can still spread the virus normally, and the Pokémon that hatches from the Egg will immediately acquire the icon.

Pokérus is not present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]

=====Nurse's comments=====
"''Oh... It looks like your Pokémon may be infected with the Pokérus. Little is known about the Pokérus, except that it is a microscopic life-form that attaches to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''"

====Generation VIII====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Info about eggs & battles}}
A Pokémon's summary screen will show a Pokérus icon.

==In the anime==
In ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', [[Dr. Namba]] explained to {{an|Professor Oak}} that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of his Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with the Pokérus to [[Evolution|evolve]] them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens had died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus and [[Team Rocket]]'s true intentions of using it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{chap|Platinum}}====
The Pokérus was discussed in ''[[PS439|Alternate Dimension Showdown IX]]'', when {{adv|Platinum}}'s team was discovered to have this virus and, as a result, became stronger. Her {{TP|Platinum|Froslass}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, and {{p|Cherrim}} had it prior to being taken from the hospital, and then it spread to the rest of her party. At the hospital, [[Daisy Oak]] and {{prof|Yanase Berlitz}} realize that the infection is, in fact, the Pokérus.

==Trivia==
* The Pokérus is an example of a {{wp|Mutualism (biology)|mutualistic}} {{wp|virus}}, in which both host and virus benefit.

Rice ball

2021-05-05T05:08:28Z

Pokechu22: /* Trivia */ link mentioned video and appropriate timestamp

:''Onion redirects here. For the character with the Japanese name, see [[Allister‎‎]].''
-----
[[File:Rice balls.png|thumb|250px|A plate of rice balls being scoped by {{TRT}}]]
A '''rice ball''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|御握り|おにぎり}}''' ''{{wp|onigiri}}'') is a common Japanese snack that consists of sticky rice packed around a filling, all held together by nori seaweed.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rice Ball SM068.png|thumb|250px|A rice ball in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'']]
Rice balls appear in the [[Pokémon anime]] many times and, in the dub, under a variety of different names. {{an|Brock}} makes them fairly often and they are frequently used in gags.

To give the snack a name which non-Japanese children would be more familiar with, the dub has referred to them as sandwiches, cookies, onions, jelly donuts, and popcorn balls. In a couple of [[Hoenn League]] episodes, the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] dub replaced giant rice balls with large sandwiches, which was not received well by the fanbase. However, a few times in the anime, such as ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'' and ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]'', 4Kids referred to rice balls by their proper name, instead of something adjusted for foreign audiences. 4Kids continued to refer to them as sandwiches or cookies even after these episodes aired, such as in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]''.

Since [[The Pokémon Company International]] started dubbing the series, they have been consistently referred to as rice balls. Eventually, starting in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'', rice balls appeared less often, more so in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' wherein [[Unova|the region]] is no longer based on a part of Japan. Some rice balls appeared in ''[[Hoopa — The Mischief Pokémon]]'', where they were summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Arche Valley]]. In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', {{an|Lana}} was seen eating a giant rice ball.

</gallery>

==In the games==
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In the Japanese version of [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], a rice ball is available as an item that Pikachu can eat. However, this item was changed to a cupcake in the American version of this game.

==Trivia==
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|Rice ball caught in a Poké Ball]]
* {{p|Glalie}} bears a resemblance to these snacks, and its Japanese name (オニゴーリ ''Onigohri'') sounds similar to the word onigiri.
* In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Ash caught a rice ball in a {{i|Poké Ball}}.
* The infamous jelly donuts meme was mentioned in the "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHDzBSr-ekM&t=37s Explore Pokémon: Kanto Region]" promotional video on the official Pokémon YouTube channel.
** It was also alluded to in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', in which Brock refers to them as his "famous jelly donuts".
** In the English translation of [[Pokémon Masters EX]]'s "Battle Buffet Bash" event, {{mas|Brock}} mentions having had his eyes on "jelly-filled donuts", referencing this meme.

Talk:Pokémon Battle Revolution

2021-01-31T22:36:35Z

Pokechu22: Pokechu22 moved page Talk:Pokémon Stadium 3 to Talk:Pokémon Battle Revolution over redirect: The actual name is Pokémon Battle Revolution though; a redirect from Pokémon Stadium 3 would make sense, but not moving the entire article

==Box management==
But will this game have box-management features like Stadium 1/2 and Pokemon Box (unlike Colosseum/XD)? That's a pretty important factor. [[User:Czeano|Czeano]] 20:37, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
::No, all it does is copy all of your pokemon onto the game, you can't actually store them or transfer them between games. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 15:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

== Reception Desk, Hotel Astoria ==

Is it OK if I add a '''Reception''' part to the article and all the other articles on Pokémon video games? [[User:MudkipNDS|MudkipNDS]] 01:09, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
:... uh, if you have a reliable source for that information, like reviews and such, then yes, you can add it. Just proceed with caution. It's a gray area that is difficult to be unbiased about. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 02:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Also I'd like to replace the Japanese box art with the American version. [[User:MudkipNDS|MudkipNDS]] 01:12, 29 July 2007 (UTC) Mario says (after 7/7/05 London incident) in bus...Mama -'''bleep'''-a!
:That's generally standard procedure. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 02:00, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

== More info. ==

This article should include more information about the items obtainable, costume items, etc. Or other pages holding this kind of information for PBR should be started. But, please, this article has no meat and/or bones. (Well, maybe bones.) -- [[User:MrWho|MrWho]] 19:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I agree about the adding information for the Gear. I'll try and remember to tomorow. (i just have to figure out how to format it) Volcronaperson 02:13, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Special Pikachu ==

The pikachu I received from battle revolution only knew surf and not volt tackle. Does anyone know why? {{unsigned|Kirby3003}}

== Bonus Pokemon ==

Just bought PAL version of the game, and the listed codes for Electivire and Magmortar do not work. Can someone confirm?--[[User:Splunge|Splunge]] 11:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

You must also use the dashes. it is case sensitive. i have confirmed it. --[[User:23-03-33|Tommy]] 23:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

You're definitely using the PAL version, as in the version just released in Australia? I've been using the dashes all along, plus all caps and numbers where appropriate, and it doesn't register. Possibly it's a different code (if any) for a different region? If there is no Australian code, then that's fine, I just think it should be added to the article if there is a regional difference to the bonus pokemon.--[[User:Splunge|Splunge]] 13:17, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, I've just added a line to this section to clarify that the codes are for the NTSC version of the game only. I've found other instances online of Australians unable to use these codes. --[[User:Splunge|Splunge]] 10:44, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I think it'd be even better if you explained what those versions were. ([[User:Constant|Constant]] 16:52, 31 December 2007 (UTC))

Whats NTSC and does the code work on English version?

Use the UK code on Australian versions. [[User:Zowayix|Zowayix]] 11:48, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

== List ==
Is there a list of the customizable items, like hats and stuff? -[[User:Mr.lol|Dean]]
:Nope. Perhaps I could compile one. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 05:08, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

== PBR Friend Codes ==
Is there a way of seeing a list of Users with PBR Friend codes?? I know there is for the DS games and also for the Wii itself but not for PBR??? [[User:Phantom|Phantom]] 12:39, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
:We have one encompassing all Wii numbers and Wii FCs, same as we do for DS FCs. Just check who has the PBR code template on their page. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 05:15, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

== Legendary ban question ==

During the time legendary Pokémon were banned from PBR WiFi, does anyone remember if they tried to upload a team of 5 non-legends and a {{p|Phione}}? If so, TELL US! It could solve the question of Phione's legendary status (or lack thereof) once and for all! --
''[[Glitch Pokémon|Glitch]] and [[Pokémon|Official]] Pokémon. There is no real difference between the two. [[User talk:Missingno. Master|In my opinion]], the two [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch|should be considered equal]]!-- quoted by {{u|Missingno. Master}}
 02:46, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I did so and yes, it did stop me. [[User:Grasspuff|MooTwo]] 19:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

== Player characters from portable games ==

What happened to the [[player character]] models shown in the first Battle Revolution videos during 2006? I mean Red, Leaf, Lucas, and Dawn. Are they available in versus battles of some version of the game? Or were they dropped because of the Pass system? --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 19:56, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
:Lucas and Dawn appear in the DS battle mode. Dunno about Red/Leaf. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 07:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
:I guess those were just for beta shots. There doesn't seem to be any way to get Red or Leaf, but you do see Lucas and Dawn as applicable when doing DS Battle mode. Perhaps they're still in there and can be hacked. I dunno. It'd have been cool to have their clothes for customization. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 05:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

== Battle Passes ==

Does anyone else agree that we should have all the battle passes on one page rather than one for Rental one for Custom and one for Friend passes [[User:Phantom|Phantom]]

== Giratina, Shaymin, Regigigas ==
We know Giratina's got a new form, and it's rumored that Shaymin and Regigigas are getting the same treatment. This leads to my question: Has anyone heard about people hacking the game and looking for Giratina's Origin Form? If it's there, we may also find Shaymin and Regigigas other forms.--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 14:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
:Well, considering that Platinum version isn't out yet, and that PBR was released a while before it was even announced, hacking to find the alternate forms would be very difficult, if not impossible. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:59, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
::Well, that, and, who the hell knew to be looking for them before May?
::Anyone hacking PBR as we speak to find the models for OF Giratina, SF Shaymin, and the other five Rotoms? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 17:37, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
::Well, It's not impossible, Colosseum had the trainer models for Fire Red and Leaf Green programmed in advance into it. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 00:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

== Question ==
If i have a pokemon diamona and a pokemon pearl then get a pikachu for both, can i send the daimond pikachu to pearl then restart the game and get another diamond?( I ask this because it says that you can't download 2 pikachus to the same cart and i only have pearl so i'm wondering since i can't try it) {{SUBST::User:SLE aman/Signature}} 01:08, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

:I'm pretty sure that once you start a new game and overwrite the file, you can transfer another Pikachu or the other special Pokémon to it again. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 01:15, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

== Platinum? ==

The problem here is:
*No Giratina Orgin Forme/Shaymin Sky Forme?
*Trainer outfit changes?
*Noticed the section in Stats where it says D/P trainer ID? WEhat about Pt?
*Will the game be able to connect?
--[[User:Anangryzapdos|Anangryzapdos]] 20:12, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

== Problem with TRU Shaymin? ==

Whenever I try to use my battle pass that has a TRU Shaymin on it to fight online the pass gets rejected. It says there are Pokémon on that pass that cannot enter the battle. I tested each Pokémon individually and it turned out that the TRU Shaymin kept getting rejected. Why is this, and is there a way I can fix it? [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 18:02, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I think I have a solution.The Tru Shaymin has a special event ribbon on it.Besides,In DPt,If you try to trade with the ribbion on it,it rejects.It`s the classic ribbion is what i think.[[User:LucarioWolf|The Aura Wolf !!!!]] 23:01, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

== HeartGold and SoulSilver ==

So how the G/S remakes affect PBR? BTW, how did Platinum affected PBR? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 22:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
:: Presumably compatible. You can use Platinum with PBR, you just can't use any of the new Platinum Formes, nor does your trainer appear in their cold weather outfit in DS Battle mode. So yeah. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 23:43, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Speaking of which, has there been any announcements or anything about a PBR (or similar) game that ''can'' use the Platinum Formes? [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 22:49, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

HG/SS will more than likely be compatible because like Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Battle Revolution has location data for Johto. --[[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 23:16, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/ipkj/index.html], as translated by [http://pokebeach.com/2009/08/heartgold-and-soulsilver-compatibility] seems to suggest they will be compatible. --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 23:10, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

:It seems that anything caught in the HGSS special pokeballs isn't compatible. --[[User:Pyritie|Pyritie]] 15:11, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

==Gear==
I just added a list of the Mystery Gift items and prices. Should we have a list for Gear too? Or maybe a separate Gear (Pokémon Battle Revolution) article, since there’s so much of it? --[[User:LaprasBoi|LaprasBoi]] 03:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
:A seperate article might be a good idea if you think adding it here would make the article waay too long. [[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''''''Cactus''']] 03:23, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
:The gear for the trainers? You could add that on to [[Custom Pass]] --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 04:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

== Shiny Costumes. Do they exist or not? ==

I've been revising the PBR's Colosseum articles and keep coming across the same piece of info regarding the possibility of getting a shiny Pokémon costume after defeating a [[Colosseum Leader]]. I've played PBR for a while now and have NEVER heard of anything like this, let alone seen any in-game proof. While it's rarity can be understood, I am still very skeptic of their existence. Can someone confirm/deny this and put up a picture or something as proof? --'''''[[User:Halcyon VI|Halcyon]] [[User talk:Halcyon VI|VI]]''''' 19:11, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
:I'm honestly not sure if they exist in the finished copy of the game or not, but the strategy guide has some pictures of them that you can see [http://home.comcast.net/~therealgau/keep/shinyPBRcostumes.jpg here] [[User:GauRocks|GauRocks]] 08:22, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

== HGSS compatibility ==

So will Gold and Kotone appear as Lucas and Dawn? I don't see that mentioned. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:59, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

== Surfing Raichu ==

I know we have a picture already of pikachu surfing, but what about raichu surfing? {{unsigned|Rocket Base}}

Raichu will do it's typical "using special attack" animation. --[[User:Ninterror|Ninterror]] 20:26, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

==Wi-Fi Rank System==

"You can also square off against Trainers from around the world using Pokémon Battle Revolution's Wi-Fi Rank system, which pits you against Trainers that have skill levels similar to your own."

[http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/lXtLHZS0Kb_sJy4T9vuBgUfKUibop045]

So apparently there's a ranking system. I know it's hidden, but anyone know how this works? [[User:MagicBarrier|MagicBarrier]] 03:05, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

== Compatibility with [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]] ==

Just for everyone's information: On the HG instruction booklet, page 4, it says, "''Pokémon HeartGold Version'' can communicate with ''Pokémon SoulSilver, Platinum, Diamond,'' and ''Pearl'' versions and '''''Pokémon Battle Revolution''''' using Nintendo DS™ Wireless Communications." (emphasis mine) [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 01:14, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

==I've always wondered...==

Were the gift codes for {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magmortar}} ever officially revealed by Nintendo, or have they gone undistributed (without people hacking into the games to find the codes)? I know that the PokéPark Wii codes for instance were distributed on the official site, but I was wondering if something similar was the same case for {{g|Battle Revolution}}.--[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 18:06, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

== Pokétopia Pikachu ==

I just received a Pokétopia Pikachu via the GTS; however, I'm not sure if it is hacked, as it appears to come from a European copy with a blue OT, not a red OT like the article says it should have. The Pikachu has a Hardy nature, obtained on 12/8/2007, came from a Sinnoh game, apparently arriving at Lv. 10, fateful encounter, and is often lost in thought. Its ID No. is 12077, knows the moves Volt Tackle, Tail Whip, and Thunder Wave. This is in a North American copy of Black 2.--[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:38, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
:The red OTs are wrong. They should all be blue. I have fixed this. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:22, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

== Move "Yes"? ==

"This Pokémon must forget the move yes in order to be able to be sent to Poké Transfer." What? Why does it say the move yes?

Found "Yes (move)" on the wanted pages. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsAndIVsaurs]] ''([[User talk:IVsaur|Talk]])'' 15:08, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
:Fixed.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:13, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

== Deletion tag ==

Why does this have a deletion tag? I tried editing it out but I couldn't find it. [[User:Master Bates|Master Bates]] ([[User talk:Master Bates|talk]]) 15:39, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Never mind, I've figured out why the deletion tag was there (one of the templates used for this article will soon be deleted). Fixed. [[User:Master Bates|Master Bates]] ([[User talk:Master Bates|talk]]) 15:42, 7 July 2014 (UTC)

As the proud owner of all the Stadium games and not so proud owner of Battle Revolution who has played with all the gamemodes, I'm Boggled as to why this has been put into the Stadium category.
Battle simulator yes but beyond that basic concept it's a completely different game from the Stadium series. It's like calling Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi a sequel to Budokai 3.

I'm not very familiar with Colosseum and XD besides the XD main story mode which i played through once, but I'm guessing PBR might be a Colosseum series game? The presentation in PBR resembles Colosseum/XD and PBR has "Colosseums". Otherwise PBR is a one off game that incorporates (unfortunately only the most shallow) aspects from both Colosseum and Stadium.

Also, wasn't Colosseum created as a Stadium sequel that traded various features for an RPG to begin with anyway? In a way Stadium, Colosseum and BR are all radically different but share some ideas and are all based around the same core concept of bringing big Pokemon Battles to the TV. Perhaps the two series should just be merged. [[User:Snugglefox|Snugglefox]] ([[User talk:Snugglefox|talk]]) 05:15, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

== Electivire and Magmortar ==

The gift Electivire and Magmortar do not list codes for Japan. Are these exclusive to the Western localizations, or are we simply missing the Japanese codes? If the former, we should really state that explicitly on the page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:24, 22 May 2017 (UTC)
:Not available in Japan, according to the German page. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:35, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

==twitch plays pokemon==

should we put something in the trivia about the twitch plays pokemon side game matches. ([[User:Theultrasheeplord|Theultrasheeplord]] ([[User talk:Theultrasheeplord|talk]]) 08:50, 17 July 2017 (UTC))

== Can you turn off battle animations? ==

The incredibly long battle animations that you couldn't turn off were a major missing feature from XD, can they be turned off in this game? [[User:Fungi|Fungi]] ([[User talk:Fungi|talk]]) 04:34, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
:I don't believe so. The only options mentioned in [https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/manuals/Wii_Pokemon_Battle_Revolution.pdf the manual] are announcer voice and control style (horizontal vs vertical wiimote, and A vs B as accept for some reason), and I don't remember that being an option when I last played it (about a decade ago...) --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 04:46, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトルレボリューション''' ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'') is the first [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for the [[Wii]]. It supports connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing Trainers to battle using their Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] main series games while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Discharge PBR.png|256px|thumb|right|Two Pokémon hit by {{m|Discharge}} at the same time]]
[[File:Pokemon Battle Revolution intro.png|thumb|250px|right|Revolution Title Screen]]
[[File:Poketopia Battle Revolution.png|thumb|250px|right|Pokétopia]]
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called Pokétopia. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their [[Model|characters]] with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Rental Pass; however, if [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, or SoulSilver]] is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a [[Custom Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, it may hit two of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.
==Blurb==
BRING YOUR BATTLE TO THE BIG SCREEN! Grab a Battle Pass, customise your Trainer and battle your way to the rank of [[Pokétopia]] Master! Or, battle against up to three friends with Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl using your Nintendo DS system as a controller!

==Starter Pokémon==
In Pokémon Battle Revolution, the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

Male players start out with the following Pokémon:

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{pbr color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{pbr color}}"
|-

Female players start out with the following Pokémon:

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{pbr color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{pbr color}}"
|-

|}

==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a {{tc|Colosseum Leader}} or {{tc|Colosseum Master}}. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16-person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a [[Light Ball]] (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders and Trainers will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]].

====Electivire (Shocking Secret Gift)====
{{p|Electivire}} and the Gold Pass can be unlocked with the following codes by entering a specific code at the “Self-Introduction” option in the Profile menu. The code is case-sensitive, and is only checked on exiting the Profile menu; if the code matches the changed introduction is not saved and the previously entered value will remain (other fields in the profile are changed normally). This does not happen if the code has already been used; the introduction is changed to it directly in that case.

====Magmortar (Heated Secret Gift)====
{{p|Magmortar}} and the Silver Pass can be unlocked with the following codes by entering a specific code at the “Self-Introduction” option in the Profile menu. The code is case-sensitive, and is only checked on exiting the Profile menu; if the code matches the changed introduction is not saved and the previously entered value will remain (other fields in the profile are changed normally). This does not happen if the code has already been used; the intorduction is changed to it directly in that case.

===Rules===
The rules for battle could be modified in various ways:
* Level: The levels of the Pokémon allowed could be set to Anything Goes (No restriction), Level 50 All (levels were set to 50) or a custom range and level total (the maximum combined level allowed of the 6 Pokémon)
* Entry Pokémon: How many Pokémon were used. Could be set from 1-6, or have no restriction, in which case players could enter as many or as few Pokémon as they wanted.
* Time limit for one battle: No limit, or a range of 1-99 Minutes. Time continued counting down even during attack animations. When time ran out, the Trainer with the most Pokémon remaining was the winner.
* Time limit for move selection: No limit, or a range of 20-99 Seconds. If a player ran out of time for move selection, the computer selected their moves for them.
The following options were either yes/allow or no/disallow selections.
* Allow same Pokémon on a team?
* Allow Pokémon with identical [[Held item|hold items]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be put to {{status|sleep}} on the [[Party|same team]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be {{status|Freeze|frozen}} on the same team?
* If all Pokémon faint due to {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, user loses? (If turned off, such a situation resulted in a draw rather than a victory for either side)
* Should {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail if used by a team's final Pokémon?
* Fixed-damage moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} always fail?

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[Legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which ban Legendary Pokémon. However, on July 3, 2007, Legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade System#Temporary legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon resulted in significant backlash from the community. A Nintendo representative later [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640 stated]{{dead link}} that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Something similar happened to the American [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Toys "R" Us Darkrai|Alamos Darkrai]] given out at Toys "R" Us events. While the Japanese {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|Movie Darkrai}}, the {{p|Darkrai}} obtained from [[Newmoon Island]] by hacking, and the [[Ranger Net#Liberate The Tower.21|Darkrai]] from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] worked fine, Alamos Darkrai was not allowed in online random multiplayer. This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

==Development and history==
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Battle Dome]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Connectivity==
===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
Pokémon Battle Revolution could battle with other copies of Pokémon Battle Revolution via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.

When battling online, players can either battle in random matchups or with friends.

When battling in random matchups, only the level 50 all rule set is available, as either [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game matches the player with another random player. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, the players can exchange [[Friend Pass]]es, but only if both players agreed to.

Pokémon Battle Revolution also allows players to battle directly with their friends. Friends are registered within the game by using a 12-digit [[Friend Code]], separate from the Wii's friend system. In a friend battle, players can either use the Colosseum ruleset, or any custom set of rules they have already created within the game. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle that friend is hosting one.

===Copy Pokémon===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm whether Origin Forme Giratina (and its held Griseous Orb), Sky Forme Shaymin, alternate form Rotom, and Spiky-eared Pichu simply cannot be copied, or if they are treated as their base forms (and what happens to Rotom's moves if copied while in an alternate form)}}
Pokémon Battle Revolution can copy Pokémon from {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Once Pokémon are copied from a DS Pokémon game to Pokémon Battle Revolution, only that same DS Pokémon game can connect to Pokémon Battle Revolution again in the future.

Due to the game being released before {{game|Platinum}}, alternate forms that were introduced in Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are not present in the game. If Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, or any of {{p|Rotom}}'s alternate forms (all of which were introduced in Pokémon Platinum) would be copied to Pokémon Battle Revolution, they are copied in their base form instead; in the case of Rotom, it will forget its alternate form's special move. If [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] would be copied, it is copied as a regular {{p|Pichu}} instead.

==Reception==
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. {{wp|IGN}} has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably the {{wp|Role-playing game|RPG}} mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. {{wp|GameSpot}} gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons being the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. {{wp|Nintendo Power}} gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the game has an average of 53% on both {{wp|Game Rankings}} and {{wp|Metacritic}}. <ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/934033-pokemon-battle-revolution/index.html</ref><ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/pokemonbattlerevolution</ref>

As of October 27th 2008, the game has sold 1.32 million copies worldwide.<ref>http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Pokemon+Battle+Revolution</ref>

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトルレボリューション''' ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'') is the first [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for the [[Wii]]. It supports connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing Trainers to battle using their Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] main series games while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Discharge PBR.png|256px|thumb|right|Two Pokémon hit by {{m|Discharge}} at the same time]]
[[File:Pokemon Battle Revolution intro.png|thumb|250px|right|Revolution Title Screen]]
[[File:Poketopia Battle Revolution.png|thumb|250px|right|Pokétopia]]
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called Pokétopia. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their [[Model|characters]] with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Rental Pass; however, if [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, or SoulSilver]] is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a [[Custom Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, it may hit two of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.
==Blurb==
BRING YOUR BATTLE TO THE BIG SCREEN! Grab a Battle Pass, customise your Trainer and battle your way to the rank of [[Pokétopia]] Master! Or, battle against up to three friends with Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl using your Nintendo DS system as a controller!

==Starter Pokémon==
In Pokémon Battle Revolution, the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

Male players start out with the following Pokémon:

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{pbr color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{pbr color}}"

|-

|}

==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a {{tc|Colosseum Leader}} or {{tc|Colosseum Master}}. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16-person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a [[Light Ball]] (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders and Trainers will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]].

==Shop==
Using the [[Poké Coupon]]s earned in Battle mode, the player can shop for Gear and Mystery Gifts.

===Gear===
Gear consists of hats, pants, shirts, bags, badges, glasses, hair colors, eye colors, face paint, shoes, and gloves which can be used to alter the outfit and appearance of the Trainer on the player's [[Custom Pass]].

===Mystery Gift===
[[Poké Coupon]]s can also be used to purchase items which can be sent to the [[Generation IV]] DS games. Some items are not available until certain conditions have been met.

===Rules===
The rules for battle could be modified in various ways:
* Level: The levels of the Pokémon allowed could be set to Anything Goes (No restriction), Level 50 All (levels were set to 50) or a custom range and level total (the maximum combined level allowed of the 6 Pokémon)
* Entry Pokémon: How many Pokémon were used. Could be set from 1-6, or have no restriction, in which case players could enter as many or as few Pokémon as they wanted.
* Time limit for one battle: No limit, or a range of 1-99 Minutes. Time continued counting down even during attack animations. When time ran out, the Trainer with the most Pokémon remaining was the winner.
* Time limit for move selection: No limit, or a range of 20-99 Seconds. If a player ran out of time for move selection, the computer selected their moves for them.
The following options were either yes/allow or no/disallow selections.
* Allow same Pokémon on a team?
* Allow Pokémon with identical [[Held item|hold items]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be put to {{status|sleep}} on the [[Party|same team]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be {{status|Freeze|frozen}} on the same team?
* If all Pokémon faint due to {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, user loses? (If turned off, such a situation resulted in a draw rather than a victory for either side)
* Should {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail if used by a team's final Pokémon?
* Fixed-damage moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} always fail?

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[Legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which ban Legendary Pokémon. However, on July 3, 2007, Legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade System#Temporary legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon resulted in significant backlash from the community. A Nintendo representative later [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640 stated]{{dead link}} that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Something similar happened to the American [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Toys "R" Us Darkrai|Alamos Darkrai]] given out at Toys "R" Us events. While the Japanese {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|Movie Darkrai}}, the {{p|Darkrai}} obtained from [[Newmoon Island]] by hacking, and the [[Ranger Net#Liberate The Tower.21|Darkrai]] from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] worked fine, Alamos Darkrai was not allowed in online random multiplayer. This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

==Development and history==
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Battle Dome]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Connectivity==
===Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection===
Pokémon Battle Revolution could battle with other copies of Pokémon Battle Revolution via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service.

When battling online, players can either battle in random matchups or with friends.

When battling in random matchups, only the level 50 all rule set is available, as either [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game matches the player with another random player. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames are removed and all Trainer quotes are set to their defaults. After the battle, the players can exchange [[Friend Pass]]es, but only if both players agreed to.

Pokémon Battle Revolution also allows players to battle directly with their friends. Friends are registered within the game by using a 12-digit [[Friend Code]], separate from the Wii's friend system. In a friend battle, players can either use the Colosseum ruleset, or any custom set of rules they have already created within the game. From the friend lobby, players can see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle that friend is hosting one.

===Copy Pokémon===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm whether Origin Forme Giratina (and its held Griseous Orb), Sky Forme Shaymin, alternate form Rotom, and Spiky-eared Pichu simply cannot be copied, or if they are treated as their base forms (and what happens to Rotom's moves if copied while in an alternate form)}}
Pokémon Battle Revolution can copy Pokémon from {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Once Pokémon are copied from a DS Pokémon game to Pokémon Battle Revolution, only that same DS Pokémon game can connect to Pokémon Battle Revolution again in the future.

Due to the game being released before {{game|Platinum}}, alternate forms that were introduced in Pokémon Platinum or Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are not present in the game. If Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}}, Sky Forme {{p|Shaymin}}, or any of {{p|Rotom}}'s alternate forms (all of which were introduced in Pokémon Platinum) would be copied to Pokémon Battle Revolution, they are copied in their base form instead; in the case of Rotom, it will forget its alternate form's special move. If [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] would be copied, it is copied as a regular {{p|Pichu}} instead.

==Reception==
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. {{wp|IGN}} has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably the {{wp|Role-playing game|RPG}} mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. {{wp|GameSpot}} gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons being the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. {{wp|Nintendo Power}} gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the game has an average of 53% on both {{wp|Game Rankings}} and {{wp|Metacritic}}. <ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/934033-pokemon-battle-revolution/index.html</ref><ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/pokemonbattlerevolution</ref>

As of October 27th 2008, the game has sold 1.32 million copies worldwide.<ref>http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Pokemon+Battle+Revolution</ref>

==Trivia==
* {{p|Rhyhorn}} is the only starter Pokémon in this game to be unevolved, and the only one that can evolve twice.
* {{p|Pidgeot}} is the only starter Pokémon in this game to be fully evolved.
* An [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-uqvWlXGNk unused music track] exists in the game's data.
* If the game is modified in any way, it will become impossible to transfer Pokémon from the DS games to the Wii without deleting Pokémon Battle Revolution's save file data.{{Fact}}
* This was the first Pokémon game released for the Wii.
* While not released to the general public, a version of the game featuring the Platinum redesign of {{ga|Lucas}} was used in a 2009 Japanese tournament.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqvUn-1evDc (HD画質、'09日本一) Pokemon WCS Japan Final (Sr.)] | YouTube</ref>

Pokechu22: /* Can you turn off battle animations? */ don't think so

Pokémon Battle Revolution

2019-07-08T02:52:02Z

Pokechu22: /* Trivia */ {{Fact}} on that. TCRF makes the same claim, but it's not clear exactly how that would work, and "in any way" is a super broad claim. Unfortunately I can't test as dolphin does not emulate the DS connection, and I don't own a DS for console.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトルレボリューション''' ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'') is the first [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for the [[Wii]]. It supports connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing Trainers to battle using their Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] main series games while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Discharge PBR.png|256px|thumb|right|Two Pokémon hit by {{m|Discharge}} at the same time]]
[[File:Pokemon Battle Revolution intro.png|thumb|250px|right|Revolution Title Screen]]
[[File:Poketopia Battle Revolution.png|thumb|250px|right|Pokétopia]]
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called Pokétopia. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their [[Model|characters]] with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Rental Pass; however, if [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, or SoulSilver]] is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a [[Custom Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, it may hit two of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.
==Blurb==
BRING YOUR BATTLE TO THE BIG SCREEN! Grab a Battle Pass, customise your Trainer and battle your way to the rank of [[Pokétopia]] Master! Or, battle against up to three friends with Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl using your Nintendo DS system as a controller!

==Starter Pokémon==
In Pokémon Battle Revolution, the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

Male players start out with the following Pokémon:

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{pbr color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{pbr color}}"
|-

Female players start out with the following Pokémon:

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{pbr color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{pbr color}}"
|-

|}

==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a {{tc|Colosseum Leader}} or {{tc|Colosseum Master}}. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16-person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a [[Light Ball]] (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders and Trainers will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]].

This does not happen if the code has already been used; the intorduction is changed to it directly in that case.

==Online functionality==
Battle Revolution was the first Pokémon game on any home console to have online functionality. It used its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii's code. This received widespread controversy, because the use of a Wii Number was believed to eliminate the need to have a friend code for each online game, as with DS Wi-Fi games; however, this is not the case, as subsequent releases have proven.

Once logged on, one had the option of battling random Wi-Fi matches, or with friends. When battling random Wi-Fi, one could only play using the level 50 all rule set, but could select [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game would begin searching for an opponent and the battle would begin when one is found. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames were removed and all Trainer quotes were set to their defaults. After the battle, one could exchange Friend Passes, but only if both parties were in agreement.

One could also battle friends, in which case, one could create a battle and modify all aspects of the rules (although custom rules could not be created and altered in the Wi-Fi mode itself, they could be changed in other modes before logging on) and Colosseum. From the friend lobby, players could see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle they were hosting.

Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] service.

===Rules===
The rules for battle could be modified in various ways:
* Level: The levels of the Pokémon allowed could be set to Anything Goes (No restriction), Level 50 All (levels were set to 50) or a custom range and level total (the maximum combined level allowed of the 6 Pokémon)
* Entry Pokémon: How many Pokémon were used. Could be set from 1-6, or have no restriction, in which case players could enter as many or as few Pokémon as they wanted.
* Time limit for one battle: No limit, or a range of 1-99 Minutes. Time continued counting down even during attack animations. When time ran out, the Trainer with the most Pokémon remaining was the winner.
* Time limit for move selection: No limit, or a range of 20-99 Seconds. If a player ran out of time for move selection, the computer selected their moves for them.
The following options were either yes/allow or no/disallow selections.
* Allow same Pokémon on a team?
* Allow Pokémon with identical [[Held item|hold items]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be put to {{status|sleep}} on the [[Party|same team]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be {{status|Freeze|frozen}} on the same team?
* If all Pokémon faint due to {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, user loses? (If turned off, such a situation resulted in a draw rather than a victory for either side)
* Should {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail if used by a team's final Pokémon?
* Fixed-damage moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} always fail?

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[Legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which ban Legendary Pokémon. However, on July 3, 2007, Legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade System#Temporary legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date regarding {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|two other games|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon has received a large amount of controversy from the community. A Nintendo representative later [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640 stated]{{dead link}} that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Something similar happened to the American [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Toys "R" Us Darkrai|Alamos Darkrai]] given out at Toys "R" Us events. While the Japanese {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|Movie Darkrai}}, the {{p|Darkrai}} obtained from [[Newmoon Island]] by hacking, and the [[Ranger Net#Liberate The Tower.21|Darkrai]] from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] worked fine, Alamos Darkrai was not allowed in online random multiplayer. This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

==Development and history==
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Battle Dome]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Compatibility==
Battle Revolution is compatible with all handheld [[Generation IV]] games. However, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}'s form changes introduced in Platinum will revert to their original form upon being copied over to the game, and the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] will display as a normal Pichu. In addition, Rotom's stats will lower to those of Rotom's normal form, and it will temporarily forget its special move.

==Reception==
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. {{wp|IGN}} has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably the {{wp|Role-playing game|RPG}} mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. {{wp|GameSpot}} gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons being the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. {{wp|Nintendo Power}} gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the game has an average of 53% on both {{wp|Game Rankings}} and {{wp|Metacritic}}. <ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/934033-pokemon-battle-revolution/index.html</ref><ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/pokemonbattlerevolution</ref>

As of October 27th 2008, the game has sold 1.32 million copies worldwide.<ref>http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Pokemon+Battle+Revolution</ref>

==Staff==

==Trivia==
* Rhyhorn is the only starter Pokémon in this game to be unevolved, and the only one that can evolve twice.
* Pidgeot is the only starter Pokémon in this game to be fully evolved.
* An [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-uqvWlXGNk unused music track] exists in the game's data.
* If the game is modified in any way, it will become impossible to transfer Pokémon from the DS games to the Wii without deleting Pokémon Battle Revolution's save file data.{{Fact}}
* This was the first Pokémon game released for the Wii.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Battle Revolution''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトルレボリューション''' ''Pokémon Battle Revolution'') is the first [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for the [[Wii]]. It supports connectivity with the [[Nintendo DS]], allowing Trainers to battle using their Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] main series games while using their Nintendo DS as a controller. It was released in Japan on December 14, 2006, two weeks after the Wii launch, and in the United States on June 25, 2007.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Discharge PBR.png|256px|thumb|right|Two Pokémon hit by {{m|Discharge}} at the same time]]
[[File:Pokemon Battle Revolution intro.png|thumb|250px|right|Revolution Title Screen]]
[[File:Poketopia Battle Revolution.png|thumb|250px|right|Pokétopia]]
Pokémon Battle Revolution features eleven different colosseums in a new area called Pokétopia. Other features include stadiums that have their own special effects, such as randomizing the order of one's Pokémon.

Players can fully customize their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players can customize their [[Model|characters]] with hats, shirts, glasses, and other things. Additionally, for the U.S. release, Nintendo had added the option to customize a Trainer's skin pigmentation. A key difference from this game compared to the Stadium titles is that minigames are absent from this game. A Trainer can choose 6 Pokémon and get a Rental Pass; however, if [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, or SoulSilver]] is connected, a player can upload their trained Pokémon and get a [[Custom Pass]].

Key differences from other Pokémon console games shown are that the Pokémon can now actually strike at the opponent physically while both Pokémon are rendered on the screen, instead of seeing one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} attacking and then cutting away to the second getting hit by the attack as in previous titles. Moves that do not contact, however, follow the same style as the older games to keep the pace of gameplay up. When an attack that strikes more than one Pokémon is performed, it may hit two of them on screen simultaneously, instead of showing it as the attack striking one Pokémon first then the second Pokémon next. The game also features a 100-Trainer battle when it is completed for the first time.

Like the two Stadium games, Pokémon Battle Revolution features an announcer that provides play-by-play commentary.
==Blurb==
BRING YOUR BATTLE TO THE BIG SCREEN! Grab a Battle Pass, customise your Trainer and battle your way to the rank of [[Pokétopia]] Master! Or, battle against up to three friends with Pokémon Diamond or Pokémon Pearl using your Nintendo DS system as a controller!

==Starter Pokémon==
In Pokémon Battle Revolution, the player's starter Pokémon are determined by the gender specified on their [[Rental Pass]] or [[Custom Pass]]. They are all at level 50.

Male players start out with the following Pokémon:

{| style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{pbr color dark}}; font-size:85%; {{roundy}}; border:5px solid #{{pbr color}}"

|-

|}

==Colosseums==
The game features eleven different colosseums, each with special changes to normal play or prerequisites and either a {{tc|Colosseum Leader}} or {{tc|Colosseum Master}}. The six Colosseum Leaders wear Pokémon costumes; for example, Marina of the Waterfall Colosseum wears a Kyogre costume. Also, the Crystal Colosseum can hold up to 16 players, the battles are done in a 16-person tournament mode. After beating the Pokétopia Championship, the player is given a {{p|Pikachu}} with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Surf}}, and a [[Light Ball]] (such a Pikachu is impossible for a player to make by normal means). Each level rule (Level 30 Open and Level 50 All) for a Colosseum has a specific ranking, which goes up as the player wins. As the rank increases, the Trainers become stronger and the Poké Coupon rewards become greater. Around Rank 7, the Leaders and Trainers will begin to use [[Legendary Pokémon]].

When the player beats Pokétopia Master [[Mysterial]] for the first time, a {{p|Pikachu}} will become available for download to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, {{game|Platinum}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in the Shop.

==Online functionality==
Battle Revolution was the first Pokémon game on any home console to have online functionality. It used its own 12-digit friend code, separate from the Wii's code. This received widespread controversy, because the use of a Wii Number was believed to eliminate the need to have a friend code for each online game, as with DS Wi-Fi games; however, this is not the case, as subsequent releases have proven.

Once logged on, one had the option of battling random Wi-Fi matches, or with friends. When battling random Wi-Fi, one could only play using the level 50 all rule set, but could select [[Double Battle|Double]] or Single Battles (Double being the default). After selecting the preferred Colosseum and Trainer Card, the game would begin searching for an opponent and the battle would begin when one is found. During the battle, all Pokémon nicknames were removed and all Trainer quotes were set to their defaults. After the battle, one could exchange Friend Passes, but only if both parties were in agreement.

One could also battle friends, in which case, one could create a battle and modify all aspects of the rules (although custom rules could not be created and altered in the Wi-Fi mode itself, they could be changed in other modes before logging on) and Colosseum. From the friend lobby, players could see the current status of anyone on their friend list and join a battle they were hosting.

Online functionality for Pokémon Battle Revolution was shut down on May 20, 2014 with the discontinuation of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] service.

===Rules===
The rules for battle could be modified in various ways:
* Level: The levels of the Pokémon allowed could be set to Anything Goes (No restriction), Level 50 All (levels were set to 50) or a custom range and level total (the maximum combined level allowed of the 6 Pokémon)
* Entry Pokémon: How many Pokémon were used. Could be set from 1-6, or have no restriction, in which case players could enter as many or as few Pokémon as they wanted.
* Time limit for one battle: No limit, or a range of 1-99 Minutes. Time continued counting down even during attack animations. When time ran out, the Trainer with the most Pokémon remaining was the winner.
* Time limit for move selection: No limit, or a range of 20-99 Seconds. If a player ran out of time for move selection, the computer selected their moves for them.
The following options were either yes/allow or no/disallow selections.
* Allow same Pokémon on a team?
* Allow Pokémon with identical [[Held item|hold items]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be put to {{status|sleep}} on the [[Party|same team]]?
* Allow two or more Pokémon to be {{status|Freeze|frozen}} on the same team?
* If all Pokémon faint due to {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, user loses? (If turned off, such a situation resulted in a draw rather than a victory for either side)
* Should {{m|Perish Song}} and {{m|Destiny Bond}} fail if used by a team's final Pokémon?
* Fixed-damage moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|SonicBoom}} always fail?

==Legendary Pokémon banning controversy==
Due to the lack of clauses in online random multiplayer, Trainers with [[Legendary Pokémon]] ran rampant on the system, attracting controversy as to why Pokémon Battle Revolution was not using official Pokémon video game tournament rules—which ban Legendary Pokémon. However, on July 3, 2007, Legendary Pokémon (referred to as "exotic" Pokémon by the game) became banned from the system. Although it was originally speculated to be a [[glitch]], a [[Global Trade System#Temporary legendary Pokémon ban|similar incident]] occurred on the same date regarding {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|two other games|s}}. The banning of these Pokémon has received a large amount of controversy from the community. A Nintendo representative later [http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=934033&topic=36507640 stated]{{dead link}} that the ban was a technical difficulty. The similar GTS problem was not addressed.

The ban was lifted sometime later, as Legendary Pokémon were then able to be used until the discontinuation of [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Something similar happened to the American [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Toys "R" Us Darkrai|Alamos Darkrai]] given out at Toys "R" Us events. While the Japanese {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV|Movie Darkrai}}, the {{p|Darkrai}} obtained from [[Newmoon Island]] by hacking, and the [[Ranger Net#Liberate The Tower.21|Darkrai]] from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] worked fine, Alamos Darkrai was not allowed in online random multiplayer. This was fixed later on, and Alamos Darkrai were freely usable until the discontinuation of Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

==Development and history==
The game was first announced by Nintendo president Satoru Iwata at a Nintendo marketing event in Japan on June 7, 2006. At the event, Iwata described Wii-to-DS connectivity using the game as an example, stating that gamers with either Pokémon Diamond or Pearl can play battles using their Diamond or Pearl Pokémon to Pokémon Battle Revolution using their DS as a controller.

The first shown video of Pokémon Battle Revolution showcased a battle between Red and Leaf on what would become the Neon Colosseum. Interestingly, in said movie, a Groudon uses Hyper Beam on a Deoxys, not only defeating it, but leaving a large gash in the floor of the Colosseum, and a hole in the wall. It is unknown if these environment damages would have remained over the course of the battle, but no such thing is possible in the final game. The camera also appeared to be more dynamic than it is in the final game: when selecting its moves, the camera first focuses on the first Pokémon, then quickly pans over to the second Pokémon to select its moves, then pans over to the Trainer who is shown making an attack command, and the attacks begin. The camera simply cuts between these shots in the final game. The last difference is the HP meter that is shown on screen when damage is done. In the video, the numerical value of the HP is shown on the HP meter, however that does not happen in any game mode in the final version.

The DS linkup feature was demoed at 2006 Nintendo World Tour for the first time. As well as allowing Pokémon from a Pokémon Diamond or Pearl cartridge to be used in-game, it replaces the on-screen battle menu normally used in conjunction with the Wii Remote. The battle menu is displayed on the DS touchscreen instead, and is navigated with the stylus. Up to eight players can play in a 1-on-1 tournament, much like the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Battle Dome]] in {{game|Emerald}}.

==Compatibility==
Battle Revolution is compatible with all handheld [[Generation IV]] games. However, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}'s form changes introduced in Platinum will revert to their original form upon being copied over to the game, and the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] will display as a normal Pichu. In addition, Rotom's stats will lower to those of Rotom's normal form, and it will temporarily forget its special move.

==Reception==
Pokémon Battle Revolution received mostly negative to lukewarm reviews, which eventually lead to the end of the game's production. {{wp|IGN}} has given this game a 5.0 out of 10 for many reasons. First, the website claimed, the game lacks many features demonstrated in previous games such as {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium|English}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]], notably the {{wp|Role-playing game|RPG}} mode. The multiplayer and online battles were also criticized for lacking features such as tournament play. {{wp|GameSpot}} gave the game a 5.5 out of 10, their reasons being the repetitive gameplay and the barebones online play. It also added that if the player didn't have Pokémon Diamond or Pearl for the DS, there wasn't as much to do. {{wp|Nintendo Power}} gave this game a 6.5 out of 10.

Currently the game has an average of 53% on both {{wp|Game Rankings}} and {{wp|Metacritic}}. <ref>http://www.gamerankings.com/wii/934033-pokemon-battle-revolution/index.html</ref><ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/wii/pokemonbattlerevolution</ref>

As of October 27th 2008, the game has sold 1.32 million copies worldwide.<ref>http://www.vgchartz.com/games/index.php?name=Pokemon+Battle+Revolution</ref>

Veilstone Game Corner

The '''Veilstone Game Corner''' (Japanese: '''トバリゲームコーナー''' ''Tobari Game Corner'') is a Game Corner located in [[Veilstone City]], [[Sinnoh]].

==In the games==
In Korean versions of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, due to the illegality of gambling in South Korea and the classifications standards of the {{wp|Game Rating Board}}, the [[slot machine]]s were replaced with [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. The dialogue and other text was also altered to remove references to the slot machines and their functionality. {{TM|64|Explosion}} is instead given away at random by the Game Corner attendant as part of a TM promotion.

These changes were later also made in European releases of Pokémon Platinum, as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar]</ref>, including in the United Kingdom English version.

The music played here is similar to the one heard in real-life {{wp|pachinko}} parlors.

===Slot machines===
There are sixteen slot machines in the Game Corner, with four of them having people already seated at them.

Each spin of the machine takes 3 coins, which are inserted by pressing the X button. Reels will start spinning either when the D-pad is pressed down or the X button is pressed again. Y stops the left reel, B stops the middle, and A stops the right.

====Bonus Round====
As the game is played, occasionally a [[Poké Ball]] will roll up on the Touch Screen. They make the reels "sticky" and guarantee a win, whereas a win is normally impossible if a Ball does not appear. The type of win depends on the Ball:

*{{Ball|Poké}} : Three Poké Balls
*{{Ball|Premier}}: Three of something Random
*{{Ball|Great}}: Three Replays
*{{Ball|Ultra}}: Three Pikachu
*{{Ball|Safari}}: Three Moon Stones

Randomly, a {{p|Clefairy}} will pop out of the Poké Ball on the touch screen, and can be either a normal one, a {{Shiny}} one, or one that appears to be a {{m|transform}}ed {{p|Ditto}}. Which kind of Clefairy appears indicates how likely to Bonus Round is to repeat; a transformed Ditto indicates a lower chance to repeat, a Clefairy indicates a moderate chance, and a Shiny Clefairy indicates a high chance. If Pikachu appears after the round is complete, it will be more likely to repeat (it will be less likely to repeat if Clefairy appears again). Players must continue spinning the reels until they get a 100-coin bonus. The odds of getting the bonus seem to improve if the slots are activated to the beat of Clefairy's clapping.

At this point the bonus round will begin. It only costs one coin to spin the reels while in the bonus round; after the reels begin spinning, the Clefairy will indicate which reel to stop first; left is Y, up is B, and right is A. Each time this is done correctly, three replays will be made possible, at 15 coins apiece. If the player does not follow Clefairy's instructions, but gets three of one image (including replays) coins will not be given. Each bonus round has 15 spins, meaning that a perfect one yields 210 coins.

After 15 spins, the Clefairy will either stay for another bonus round or it will return to its Poké Ball and the bonus will end. This seems to be random. If ten or more bonus rounds are played in a row, the woman behind the counter will give {{TM|64|Explosion}} as a prize the first after this has been achieved. In order to obtain the TM, the player must lose a bonus round sometime after their tenth consecutive round; pressing Start to end the "Slot Session" will not count as having played 10 games in a row and will, in turn, not yield [[TM64]]. The TM is only given out once.

Occasionally, the moon on the touch screen will glow red during a spin. Getting a replay when the moon is red makes Clefairy tired, so following Clefairy's instructions during a red moon makes the Bonus Round less likely to repeat.

On the other hand, the moon may also occasionally glow bright white. Following Clefairy's instructions will guarantee that Clefairy will stay for another bonus round.

===Service counter===
The woman behind the counter to the left of the slots sells coins at the following rates:
{{shop|[[Coin]]s}}

[[File:Veilstone Game Corner DPA.png|thumb|left|180px|Veilstone Game Corner in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl! Adventure]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Veilstone Game Corner first appeared in ''[[PS356|Magnificent Meditite & Really Riolu I]]''. {{adv|Platinum}} wandered into it by accident, mistaking it for a hotel. In no time, she was sucked into the gaming, having to be forcibly dragged away by {{adv|Pearl}} when he and {{adv|Diamond}} came looking for her. Diamond proceeded to exchange the coins Platinum had won for a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Zoom Lens}}. The next day, [[Maylene]]'s father tried to talk Platinum, who was passing by, into trying the slot machines, but she refused. This is also the location where Diamond first encountered [[Team Galactic]] in ''[[PS358|Stunning Staravia & Stinky Skuntank I]]'' while recovering the [[Pokédex]] Platinum had accidentally left behind.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl! Adventure manga===
The Veilstone Game Corner appeared in ''[[DPAS2|Deoxys, The Phantom Pokémon! (Part 2)]]''. At the beginning of the chapter, [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] were seen playing the slots. Hareta was winning trays full of Coins while Mitsumi couldn't win at all--a possible reference to the actual differences in luck between the slot machines in the games. At the end of the chapter, Hareta returned to the Game Corner only to find out that Mitsumi still hadn't won once, and was determined not to leave until she finally did.

==Trivia==
* The background music for the Veilstone Game Corner remixes part of the theme for the [[Celadon Game Corner|Rocket Game Corner]].
* The background music that plays when {{p|Clefairy}} appears is a sped-up remix of the [[Mt. Moon Square]] background theme. The bonus round music further speeds it up.
* [[Maylene]]'s father can be met here. He says that nothing is going his way, and asks if the player is a Trainer or has battled the Gym Leader. [[Looker]] can also be found here both before the player has obtained the {{badge|Cobble}} and after the [[Stark Mountain]] storyline.
* The woman behind the counter says that the player must have had an ''explosion'' of good luck before giving the TM64, as a pun.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Pinball''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンピンボール''' ''Pokémon Pinball'') is a spin-off {{wp|pinball}} game for the [[Game Boy Color]]. The cartridge was unique at the time among Game Boy games in that it includes a rumble pack powered by a single AAA battery, providing force feedback in much the same way as controllers for TV consoles. As the title suggests, the gameplay is pinball-based, but with a uniquely Pokémon-inspired spin. For example, the game is divided into two tables, the Red Field and the Blue Field, named after [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|the first paired versions released outside of Japan]], each with different table designs, accessible map locations, and catchable wild Pokémon.

The game received an update/sequel on the Game Boy Advance in the form of [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==Objective==
The goal is to catch all the Pokémon and complete the Pokédex. Beyond that and the ever-present goal of getting a high score, there is no storyline to speak of.

==Blurb==
Catch 'em all with a pinball! Discover a whole new way to collect Pokémon - by playing pinball! Hit the targets with your Poké Ball to catch and evolve Pokémon. The better you do, the more rare Pokémon you'll find! Every Pokémon you catch is automatically recorded in your Pokédex - see if you can catch all 150! Some Pokémon appear only on the Red Field or only on the Blue Field, so you'll have to play both to catch 'em all!

* The new Rumble feature makes you feel like you're playing a real pinball machine!
* Trade high scores with a friend using the built-in [[Infrared]] Communications Port (on Game Boy Color only).
* Print out your high scores with a [[Game Boy Printer]] (sold separately).
* Find the bonus stages to rack up a high score.
* Upgrade your Poké Ball to a Great Ball, Ultra Ball, or Master Ball and score even higher!
* Game Pak contains built in Rumble feature (one AAA battery included).

==Acquiring Pokémon==
Rather than catching Pokémon in any traditional manner, Pokémon Pinball requires players to play special game modes on the pinball table to catch and evolve their Pokémon and complete their Pokédex.

===Catch 'Em Mode===
In Catch 'Em Mode, the player enters by lighting up two or three "GET" lights by letting the ball pass a certain tab. If the player lights up three lights, he/she gets different Pokémon than if he/she lighted up two. When it starts, a Pokémon silhouette appears in the middle of the lower field, and the player must hit the bumpers to gradually turn all six pieces of it into color. Once that is done, the actual Pokémon appears there. Then the player must hit it three times to light up what says "CATCH!" two characters at a time, then hit it one last time to catch the Pokémon. Once the player has caught it, he/she can evolve it in Evolution Mode. It also lights up one Poké Ball out of three which lets him/her reach the next Bonus Stage. The player has two minutes to complete Catch 'em! Mode. Up to 255 Pokémon can be caught at the same time within a game: catching a 256th will result into the counter being set back to 0 and the list being blanked, but the player will receive a bonus of 1,000,000,000 points.

===Evolution Mode===
Evolution mode is only accessible if the player has caught at least one Pokémon in Catch 'em! Mode. The player also has to light up three "EVO" lights activated in the same way as the GET lights. The player has to hit a spot where an arrow is pointing to on the field. Then the player can choose any one of the Pokémon they have caught. Then, depending on how the Pokémon evolves, the player has to have the ball hit either an "EX" for EXP., an evolution stone, or a link cable. The player has to do this three times. Some locations do not have experience or items; hitting one of those locations will cause the arrows to disappear (with the message that the Pokémon is tired, if it evolves by experience) and the player will have to shoot around the outside loop or wait ten seconds before an arrow appears again. Once the player is done, the player still has to get the ball into a hole to complete Evolution Mode. If the Pokémon is already fully evolved, then completing Evolution Mode will earn the player a 10,000,000 point bonus.

==Poké Ball==
Fittingly with the other Pokémon-inspired tweaks to the basic pinball formula, the ball is a [[Poké Ball]]. Each table has three lights near the top of the upper half that, when lit simultaneously, will upgrade the Poké Ball temporarily to the next better basic Poké Ball; the upgrades are the Great Ball, the Ultra Ball, and the Master Ball. Each upgrade multiplies the points gained on the table by a different multiplier: 2×, 3×, and 5×, respectively. Attempting to further upgrade a Master Ball will earn the player 10,000,000 bonus points.

==Bonus Tables==
Catching a Pokémon in Catch 'Em Mode will cause one Poké Ball icon to light up below the display on the lower portion of the field. Evolving a Pokémon in Evolution Mode will cause two of these lights to light up instead (or one if there is no room for two). Three of these lights can be lit at a time; when all three are lit, the player can shoot the ball into the center hole to access one of several bonus stages that are progressed through in a linear fashion; if the player completes one bonus stage, then when he lights up the Poké Ball lights again, he can enter the next stage. Each table has a separate progression of three bonus tables, with only the final stage on each table (the {{p|Mewtwo}} stage) being the same for both tables.

===Diglett Bonus Stage===
This is the first bonus stage on the Red Field.
[[File:Pinball Diglett Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Diglett bonus stage]]
This table features {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and is unique among these five bonus stages in that it is the only one where, rather than a time limit being the defeat condition, the player only has one ball to complete the stage with. If the ball is lost, the stage ends. When the stage begins, the field is covered with Diglett that, when hit with the ball, will retreat into the table. The player earns points for each Diglett he knocks down. When all the Diglett are knocked down, a Dugtrio appears in the back center portion of the table. Hitting the Dugtrio three times will earn bonus points and complete the bonus stage.

===Gengar Bonus Stage===
This is the second bonus stage on the Red Field.
[[File:Pinball Gastly Bonus Gengar.png|thumb|160px|Gengar on its bonus stage]]
This table is set in a graveyard where the player is attacked by several wild {{p|Gastly}}. Hitting ten Gastly with the ball will cause {{P|Haunter}} to appear instead. Hitting ten Haunter with the ball will draw out a giant {{p|Gengar}}. Hit Gengar five times to complete the stage. Hitting the necessary Pokémon will earn points. There is a time limit of 1:30 on the stage; as long as the player does not take this long to win, he/she can lose the ball an unlimited number of times without penalty.

===Meowth Bonus Stage===
This is the first bonus stage on the Blue Field.
[[File:Pinball Meowth Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Meowth bonus stage]]
A {{p|Meowth}} runs around the field. When the player hits Meowth with the ball, it will pause briefly and drop a pile of coins. Up to six piles of coins can be on the field at a time; if there are six, hitting Meowth any more will not cause more coins to appear. Collecting a pile of coins will earn points and cause a coin icon to appear at the top of the screen. Collecting coin piles consecutively without hitting Meowth will apply a multiplier to both the number of coin icons added to the top of the screen and the points earned. This multiplier is equal to the current number of coin piles consecutively collected, and thus can go no higher than 6×. Once the player has 20 coin icons on top of the screen, the bonus stage is completed; however, the player is allowed to continue the bonus stage until time runs out or until he loses his current ball to gain more points. There is a time limit of 1:00 on the stage, with unlimited extra balls (unless the stage is completed). Losing the ball before the stage is completed causes all the coin piles to disappear and incurs a four-coin penalty.

===Seel Bonus Stage===
This is the second bonus stage on the Blue Field.
[[File:Pinball Seel Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Seel bonus stage]]
Three {{p|Seel}} swim around underwater, visible by their silhouettes. Periodically, one will bring its head above water for a short time. Hitting a Seel's exposed head with the ball will cause it to duck back underwater, earning points and causing a circular icon to appear on top of the screen. Hitting multiple Seel consecutively without letting one duck underwater on its own will apply a multiplier to both the icons added to the top of the screen and the points earned. The multiplier for the icons is equal to the current number of consecutive hits, while the score multiplier doubles with each Seel hit, but can go no higher than 256×. Once the player has 20 icons on top of the screen, the stage is completed, but the player is allowed to continue and earn more points until either time runs out or he loses his ball. There is a time limit of 1:30 on the stage, with unlimited extra balls (unless the stage is completed). Losing the ball before the stage is completed resets the multiplier and incurs a four-point penalty.

===Mewtwo Bonus Stage===
This is the third bonus stage on both the Red and Blue Fields.
[[File:Pinball Mewtwo Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Mewtwo bonus stage]]

{{p|Mewtwo}} stands in the back center of the otherwise open stage, surrounded by six black circles moving around it in a circular pattern. Hitting these circles will earn 1,000,000 points and cause them to disappear momentarily. Hitting Mewtwo will earn 50,000,000 points per hit. As the player hits Mewtwo more, the number of circles on the field will decrease gradually. Hitting Mewtwo 25 times will complete the stage. There is a time limit of 2:00 on the stage, with unlimited extra balls.

Once the Mewtwo stage is completed, the rotation will cycle back to the first bonus stage for the table being played.

Due to Mewtwo's obscenely high point output, intentionally failing and replaying this stage is the fastest way to rack up a high score.

==Map Move==
Part of the game revolves around traveling to different locations. The first location is determined at the start of the game, and the current location is displayed in the screen on the lower half of the table when not in any of the special modes. By hitting certain triggers on each table (see below under "Field Mechanics"), the player can trigger Map Move mode, during which the player has 30 seconds to hit certain targets on the table, and if they are all hit, the player will move to a random new location, where different wild Pokémon can be caught. Each table has a distinct set of locations, with only a handful of overlaps. The locations are divided into three areas, the first three locations will be selected from the first area, then two from the second area, the sixth location will be Indigo Plateau, after which the areas will repeat.

===Red Field locations===
* Area 1
** [[Pallet Town]]
** [[Viridian Forest]]
** [[Pewter City]]
** [[Cerulean City]]
** [[Vermilion City]] Seaside
** [[Rock Tunnel|Rock Mountain]]
** [[Lavender Town]]
* Area 2
** {{ka|Cycling Road}}
** {{safari|Kanto}}
** [[Seafoam Islands]]
** [[Cinnabar Island]]
* Area 3
** [[Indigo Plateau]]

===Blue Field locations===
* Area 1
** [[Viridian City]]
** [[Viridian Forest]]
** [[Mt. Moon]]
** [[Cerulean City]]
** [[Vermilion City]] Streets
** [[Rock Tunnel|Rock Mountain]]
** [[Celadon City]]
* Area 2
** [[Fuchsia City]]
** {{safari|Kanto}}
** [[Saffron City]]
** [[Cinnabar Island]]
* Area 3
** [[Indigo Plateau]]

==Slots==
By lighting up all four "CAVE" lights at the top of the four lanes, the player makes the "Slots" bonus available. This makes the center hole open, and by shooting the ball into it, the player activates the slots. A slot reel will spin around and eventually slows and stops (the player can make it slow earlier with the 'A' button). The player is then awarded one of the following bonuses:

* Small: A bonus of 100 - 900 points.
* Big: A bonus of 1,000,000 - 9,000,000 points.
* Get: Starts Catch 'Em Mode.
* Evo: Starts Evolution Mode.
* Saver: For the next 30/60/90 seconds, if the ball is drained it will be returned to the plunger and immediately launched (up to twice).
* Pikachu: For the rest of this ball the Pikachu kickback will always save the ball if it goes into the out lanes.
* Upgrade: The ball is upgraded to the next level, increasing the score multiplier.
* Extra: The player receives an extra ball.
* Bonus multiplier: The bonus multiplier is increased.
* Go to bonus: The player immediately plays the next bonus stage.

Note that the player can light up the four "CAVE" lights at any time, however the slots will only become available when the player is not in Catch 'Em, Evolution or Map Move modes and the bonus stage is not available.

==Field Mechanics==
On each field, various Pokémon appear, taking the place of more traditional pinball obstacles like switches and bumpers.

===Red Field===
* {{p|Voltorb}}: Three appear at the center of the top screen. They serve as bumpers for the [[Poké Ball]] and also flip silhouette tiles in Catch 'Em Mode.
* {{p|Ditto}}: One is blocking the Evolution Mode trigger hole in the top left corner of the screen until the EVO lights are lit.
* {{p|Bellsprout}}: Bellsprout can swallow your ball; if at least two GET lights are lit, Catch 'Em Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Diglett}}: Hit either of the two Diglett three times to trigger Map Move mode.
* {{p|Staryu}}: Hit the button below Staryu to toggle whether or not the Poké Ball upgrade lights above the Voltorb are accessible.

===Blue Field===
* {{p|Shellder}}: Three appear at the center of the top screen. They serve as bumpers for the [[Poké Ball]] and also flip silhouette tiles in Catch 'Em Mode.
* {{p|Cloyster}}: If the ball is sent to the right from the four-way intersection in the middle of the table, Cloyster will close it in its shell; if at least two GET lights are lit, Catch 'Em Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Slowpoke}}: If the ball is sent to the left from the four-way intersection in the middle of the table, Slowpoke will swallow it; if all three EVO lights are lit, Evolution Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Poliwag}}: Hit the red button near Poliwag three times to trigger Map Move mode.
* {{p|Psyduck}}: Hitting Psyduck three times will also trigger Map Move mode.

===Both Fields===
*{{p|Pikachu}}: Pikachu can appear under either one of the exit lanes (from which the ball cannot normally be saved); Pikachu's location is toggled with the flipper buttons. If the ball would exit the table via the exit lane that Pikachu is under, if Pikachu is ready, then instead it will rebound the ball onto the field by using {{m|ThunderShock}}. Pikachu is readied by spinning a spinner on the right side of the large loop on each table. There is a gauge with a lightning bolt symbol in it to indicate how ready Pikachu is; it can only rebound the ball if this gauge is full.

==Trivia==
* The main background music of the Blue Field shares its melody with the music played in [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]] in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} released 7 months later.
* The background music of the Red Field shares its melody with the music played in [[Viridian City]], [[Saffron City]] and [[Pewter City]] in all the core series games that feature [[Kanto]], and [[Cerulean City]] in [[Generation II]].
* The Catch 'Em Mode music of the Blue Field is an instrumental version of the first opening song of the [[Pokémon anime]], "[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]".
* The Catch 'Em Mode music in the Red Field is based on the music that plays when one is riding one's [[bicycle]] in {{4v2|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}.
* The music that plays during "Name Entry" was revised and used for [[Sootopolis City]]'s background theme.{{fact}}
* The Poké Ball upgrades all have a letter stamped on them that were not changed to match their localized names: the Great Ball has an S (for Super) and the Ultra Ball has an H (for Hyper).
* Two maps are labeled incorrectly: Rock Mountain (supposed to be [[Rock Tunnel]]), and Fuchia City (missing an s).
* {{p|Mew}} can appear as a catchable Pokémon in [[Indigo Plateau]] once the player has completed the Mewtwo bonus stage twice (it then has a 1/16 chance of being encountered when all three GET lights are lit). However, it is virtually impossible to be caught by normal means, because a special routine requires the player to hit Mew a total of 1024 times (256 times for each of the 4 steps in the "catch!" sequence).<ref>[http://psense.lib.net/Analysis/RGB/pinball/poke.html ポケモンピンボール ! - POKeMONaSeNSE] (Japanese)</ref> Mew's Pokédex entry will be unlocked when it is encountered instead of when it is obtained.
* [[Pokédex]] entries in Pokémon Pinball match the entries from {{2v2|Red|Blue}} except for the addition of a period at the end of each entry.

(Japanese: '''ミニリュウのでんせつ''' ''The Legend of {{tt|Miniryu|Dratini}}'') is the 35th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 25, 1997, but never broadcast in the United States or all other countries airing a [[dub]] based on the English version.
{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

After finally entering the safari zone, our heroes meet up with the elderly supervisor of the zone. As they are being explained the rules of the safari zone in his office, a picture, carefully hung there, catches Ash’s attention. It is a picture of the elderly supervisor as a boy, taken alongside a Dratini, the legendary Pokémon. Ash asks desperately about the existence of Dratini, but the elderly man denies everything. Hearing of the plenitude of Pokémon in the safari zone, Team Rocket also arrives on the scene.

==Plot==
{{Incomplete plot}} 

Ash, Misty and Brock are touring the area in the {{safari|Kanto}}. {{Ash}} is singing, while the narrator explains that the group hasn't yet {{pkmn2|caught}} a single Pokémon, but with so many Pokémon in this area, it's understandable why anyone would want to sing.

As the group approaches a building, Ash sings that they're in the Safari Zone. {{an|Brock}} asks Ash to stop singing, which Ash ignores and continues to sing. Brock asks {{an|Misty}} to do something, and she replies by singing along with Ash. Brock decides to sing as well. Before he can do so, however, a man approaches from the building and demands they "shut up!"

Ash demands what the man's problem is, to which the man pulls a [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|firearm]] out and replies, "Do you want to get shot?" The group hastily apologizes, and the man relents. He then introduces himself as [[Kaiser]], who's none other than the care-taker of the Safari Zone.

Inside the building, Kaiser shows the group a basket of {{ball|Safari}}s and a fishing rod. Ash is delighted and reaches out eagerly for them, but Kaiser pulls his gun out and explains the rules of the Safari Zone: All that's permitted are Safari Balls and fishing rods. If they break the rules, his "Thunderbolt" will burn them. He then points the gun at Ash's head to demonstrate his point.

Misty notices a picture of Kaiser as a young man, in which he's holding a {{p|Dratini}}. As Ash and Misty view the picture, Brock tells them about a rumor of a Dratini living in the Safari Zone, and the picture certainly proves that the rumor is true. Before this can be expanded on any further, Kaiser leaps forward and snatches the picture from Misty's hand, screaming that there is no Dratini. Ash argues otherwise, but seeing Kaiser reach for his gun is more than enough to make him take his statement back.

Kaiser leaves the group, taking the picture with him. Misty wonders why he acts so serious, to which Brock replies that something must be up for him to act like this. Ash suggests that they ask {{an|Professor Oak}}, which the rest agree on.

The focus then shifts on Kaiser, who's standing outside the building staring at the picture. He apologizes to Dratini and says he'll never bother it again. While this happens, Oak explains to the kids that he knows Kaiser well. Thirty years ago, a Dratini was found in the Safari Zone by Kaiser himself. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from all over flocked to the Safari Zone just to see the mythical creature, but while they were there, they caught many other Pokémon in the process, literally destroying the Safari Zone. Since then, only Safari Balls have been allowed there. The Dratini was never found; all that remains is a picture.

After an attack by {{TRT}}, the Warden directs the group to a lake inhabited by Dratini. James and Meowth don scuba gear and attempts to find Dratini, while Jessie is waiting for them above. Suddenly, a Dratini emerges from the water and reveals itself to Jessie. She kneels down on the pipe that is supplying air to James and Meowth, calling the Dratini to come closer, while the other two are struggling for a breath of air. Just as Jessie tries to grab it, James and Meowth splash out of the water, scaring it away. Jessie starts to yell at them, when Meowth reveals a backup plan to capture all the Pokémon in the lake.

He then goes to explain how the electric bomb he is holding will zap all the Pokémon in the water to cause them to rise to the surface, and is about to throw it in when Ash intervenes. Meowth throws it in anyways, and Kaiser jumps in the lake after it. Ash jumps after him, but Misty stops Ash, telling him not to go. Then she asks, "What gives you such confidence?". He then replies, "I told you before, the good guys always win." He dives into the lake with Misty's Staryu to retrieve the bomb, and sends Staryu to take Kaiser back to the surface. He reaches the bottom, retrieves the bomb, but then runs out of air. Suddenly, a storm begins: it is caused by a {{p|Dragonair}}. The Dragonair saves Ash, just as it did when it was a Dratini, saving Kaiser. The Warden is overjoyed, as he has successfully protected the Pokémon. Team Rocket is sent blasting off again, and Ash sends all his {{AP|Tauros}} to Oak, who trample over the Professor in a stampede.

==Banning==
[[File:Gun.png|thumb|200px|[[Kaiser]] pointing his [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|revolver]] at {{Ash}}]]
This controversial episode was [[Banned episodes|banned]] in almost all countries outside of Japan, largely due the pervasive use of firearms, which are pointed at {{Ash}} and [[Kaiser]] and fired at [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Even though the scenes where Kaiser threatens Ash, Misty and Brock with his guns were intended for comic effect, the American censors still found this too dark for children. Although an English dubbed version of this episode will never be aired, dub voice actors have confirmed that it was made{{fact}}. This suggests that it was the network, and not the producers of the American show itself, who deemed it offensive. Unfortunately for fans, this episode's non-airing created a major plot hole for non-Japanese versions of the show, confusing many viewers on how, when, where, and why Ash caught thirty {{AP|Tauros}}, although {{an|Professor Oak}} mentioned it once in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]''.

==Trivia==
* Although the episode was never aired in English, the video for the [[Kanto Pokérap|Pokérap]] uses footage of {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Dragonair}}, and Rhyhorn from this episode, as well as a clip of {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} catching a Gyarados.
* Although the episode was never aired in English, a summary [http://web.archive.org/web/20011202024601/http://www.pokemon.com/cartoons/cartoons_02g.html was posted on Pokémon.com], and the episode numbered as episode 35. However, an English title was never listed.
* This is the first appearance of [[Misty's special lure]] in the series. However, due to this episode being banned in numerous countries, the lure first appeared in the dub in ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]''.
* The {{ball|Safari}}s pictured in this episode are vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites, likely due to a design change between the time of Generation I and Generation III. This is similar to the alteration in design of the {{ball|Sport}}, which appears differently between [[EP161|its anime debut]] and its [[Generation IV]] reintroduction with an in-game sprite.
* The mecha that Team Rocket uses in this episode made a reappearance (and the first appearance outside Japan and Asia) in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]''.
* [[Kaiser]]'s appearance, demeanor and handgun bear a resemblance to the {{wp|Man with No Name}}, a character from the {{wp|Spaghetti Western}} ''{{wp|Dollars Trilogy}}''.

===Errors===
* When Dragonair is emerging from the lake, the R on Jessie's shirt is missing.
* Throughout the episode {{p|Dratini}} and {{p|Dragonair}} were referred to as [[Legendary Pokémon]]. However, this may come from Dratini's Pokédex entry, which calls it a "mythical Pokémon".

==In other languages==
As most dubs are based on the English adaptation, this episode has not aired in most of the world outside of Japan.

Pokechu22: /* I'm perplexed here. */ I think that $$268:L0CG is actually Super Glitch

==Base stats==

I don't think the stats are right. I mean, it's an ARTICUNO hybrid, and I obtained one, grew it to level 100, and its stats are HP:301 ATT:176 DEF:216 SPEED:197 and SPEC:262. --[[User:Katakanaglitch|Katakanaglitch, the glitch pokemon researcher]]. [[User_talk:Katakanaglitch|Talk to me]]! oゥo 11:55, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

== Why is there a Japanese symbol used for a dash? ==

It doesn't make any sense... --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 00:01, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
:Agreed. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 00:30, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
::The dash is used for many things. The name used is the name at the naming screen (so much name {{unsigned|Katakanaglitch}}
The kana and the hyphen are actually two totally different parts of its name. [[User:Scooterscanley|scooterscanley]] ([[User talk:Scooterscanley|talk]]) 22:13, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

== I'm perplexed here. ==

Is $$268:L0CG really a move? [[User:Scooterscanley|scooterscanley]] ([[User talk:Scooterscanley|talk]]) 22:10, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
:[http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/GlitchDex/Y:248 Glitch City Laboratory's article] says that it learns [[Super Glitch]] at level 195, so most likely that's the name that someone got at the given time. I've changed the move to match with GCL; hopefully the article there is correct (I don't have time to check the actual move). If it is actually super glitch, then the name would be somewhat random and it would be possible to get "$$268:L0CG" from it. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 23:17, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

Pokémon SP (TCG)

2016-01-23T23:13:55Z

Pokechu22: /* Pokémon M */ Add redirect notice regarding 'M

[[File:WeavileGPlatinum17.jpg|thumb|200px|right|An example of a Pokémon {{SP|G}}, one of several varieties of Pokémon SP]]
'''Pokémon SP''' are a variant of Pokémon found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They debuted in the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, the first of the ''Platinum'' Series. They are the successor to {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}.

Pokémon SP (an abbreviated form of Special Pokémon) vary depending on the theme of the expansion in which they appear. All Pokémon SP are Basic Pokémon and have a stylized "SP" logo in the bottom-left corner of the illustration box. Pokémon SP also include a suffix in the name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon.

==Pokémon G==
The first variant of SP Pokémon were '''Pokémon {{SP|G}}''', released in {{TCG|Platinum}}. Pokémon {{SP|G}} cards are classified as "Galactic's Pokémon" (this text replaces the Pokédex data in the illustration bar) and have an icon of their respective [[Team Galactic]] owner in the bottom-right corner of the illustration box. All Pokémon G also have "{{SP|G}}" at the end of their name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon. Several examples include:

* {{p|Probopass}} {{SP|G}} cannot evolve from {{p|Nosepass}} because it is a Basic Pokémon and because its name is not Probopass.
* {{p|Darkrai}} {{SP|G}} cannot be leveled-up into Darkrai LV.X, as its name is not Darkrai.
* {{p|Dialga}} {{SP|G}} cannot be leveled-up into Dialga LV.X, but it can be leveled-up into Dialga {{SP|G}} LV.X.
* Dialga cannot be leveled-up into Dialga {{SP|G}} LV.X.
* One may have 4 Dialga or Dialga LV.X in a deck as well as 4 Dialga {{SP|G}} or Dialga {{SP|G}} LV.X.

Talk:Twitch Plays Pokémon

2015-08-18T16:15:57Z

Pokechu22: /* "Episode"? */ Why not "Season # Run #"?

== RNG Plays Pokémon ==

So, apparently there's a similar stream going on called "RNG Plays Pokémon", which, rather than being run through chat commands, is run ''entirely'' through a random number generator as far as deciding the button to press. Is this possibly worth noting on this page? [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 07:55,2/17/2014 (UTC)
:There's a bunch of parodies and spin-offs (like the one that plays Tetris using the button inputs from this stream), none of which are anywhere near as popular. I don't think any specific ones need to be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:39, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
::I think that the derivatives of ''Twitch Plays Pokémon'' warrant ''some'' mention, at least, as they indicate the far-spanning influence of the original stream. Even just a sentence or two would suffice; we could also [http://kotaku.com/thousands-of-people-are-playing-tetris-without-realizin-1525521488 source a Kotaku article], which mentions the ''Tetris'' connectivity amidst other similar streams. For what it's worth, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitch_Plays_Pok%C3%A9mon the Wikipedia article]] pertaining to this event/stream also has a sentence/paragraph of the various derivatives as well, with several webpages used as references. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 03:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Since the TPP channel has moved on to Crystal, would it be worth mentioning that a [http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayers/profile/pastBroadcasts side channel] completed Crystal version on the same day TPP completed Red? --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 03:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

== Helix Fossil ==

We need to mention the Helix Fossil's state of being an internet meme. People on Twitch seem to worship it like a god. [[User:Satoshi Bakura|Satoshi Bakura]] ([[User talk:Satoshi Bakura|talk]]) 14:14, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:Could this be the realization of in-game Pokemopolis? I'm curious, if the game was modded so all 151 are obtainable, where does one acquire the dome fossil? --[[User:GARY-DOS|GARY-DOS]] ([[User talk:GARY-DOS|talk]]) 18:58, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

== Tossed Items ==
I noticed there wasn't any record of items that have been tossed. This seems like a pretty notable thing since they've all been accidental and there are bound to be more items tossed in the future due to the 100,000+ people bumbling around in the chat. I know for sure there have been two moonstones and a nugget tossed. Should the be added to the page though? [[User:Iemongel|Iemongel]] ([[User talk:Iemongel|talk]]) 23:29, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:That might be a nice addition to the Items section. --'''[[User:FireGambit|FireGambit]]''' ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 17:21, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
::I have the html ready so I'll go ahead and add it if there aren't any objections. [[User:Iemongel|Iemongel]] ([[User talk:Iemongel|talk]]) 23:25, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Although I think most items have already begun to be added, I like the idea of documenting the various tossed items in the article. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 03:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
::::The sections were removed on 10:38 & 10:53, 12 March 2014‎ by SnorlaxMonster (→‎Progress: Tossed items really don't matter)(→‎Items: Same goes for these). I personally thought they were interesting but administration says otherwise :\ [[User:Rcmaehl|Rcmaehl]] ([[User talk:Rcmaehl|talk]]) 02:27, 17 March 2014 (UTC)

== PC section ==

Should we make the PC section collapsible? I noticed that SnorlaxMonster removed it, but I think it would be nice if we at least gave readers the option to minimize; it's getting larger and larger. I have the code ready, if we decide to go through with this. --'''[[User:FireGambit|FireGambit]]''' ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 18:54, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

== Meme section ==

We could use a section about various memes that have come from this. it's important in showing popularity/impact. [[User:Lu-igi board|Lu-igi board]] ([[User talk:Lu-igi board|talk]]) 20:49, 27 February 2014 (UTC)
:I feel that the memes (particularly the Helix Fossil) ''do'' merit mention within the article, although I haven't seen most meme references (particularly ones like Slowpoke and Seaking) on Bulbapedia. If we can't provide a section/mention of the memes, maybe an external link to [[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/twitch-plays-pokemon this webpage]] would suffice...? [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 03:49, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Maybe we could make a seperate article called Mythology of Twitch Plays Pokémon or something similar. [[User:Mariofan99|Mariofan99]] ([[User talk:Mariofan99|talk]]) 20:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
:I disagree with a meme section in general for most things. I vehemently disagree with a page on TPP memes, especially at that title. First, that titles is pretty misleading, as using mythology is just a way of getting around saying "memes". Memes in general at most a mention on the page it's relevant to, and I haven't seen anything for these memes that show that they're worth having a page to themselves. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 21:37, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
::My personal two cents: Generally, I also think memes are not notable. Any of the non-TPP-related memes I've actually ''heard'' of ({{p|Mudkip}} or {{p|Seaking}}) are not mentioned here on the wiki, either. I wouldn't be opposed to maybe an index of memes in the Appendix space (something like [[Appendix:Fan terminology]]) but that's a whole other can of worms. Anyway, I think it's not notable for regular articles. I think the impact on the fandom is more interesting anyway (some ppl have made fanart for the Pokémon parties used in the TPP games, etc...) but even I dunno if that's notable either. :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 21:57, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

== Continuing coverage? ==

Should we continue updating this page for the next challenge? If so, should we move the first play through to a sub page? - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 22:23, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
:If we do, the boxed and released Pokémon and such could be condensed into one drop-down show/hide box (I don't know what the heck they're called). There's really no point to have a listing of items; someone coming to this page to learn about TPP isn't going to glean any information from a list of items the player had at one point. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 23:11, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

== Anarchy/Democracy ==

We should probably explain what these are, as some people (myself included) have no idea. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 20:12, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
:They are already explained in the gameplay section (and honestly, almost everyone ''does'' know what they are).--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 20:18, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
::Crystal forces democracy every hour, though (the game started on Anarchy by the way). [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 20:19, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

== Section Reordering and Splitting ==

It's my opinion that the Progress and Gameplay sections should either be moved above the Pokémon Red section or split into one for each game. I'd actually do this myself, however since it would be such a large edit, I'd rather gain a consensus first. {{unsigned|Rcmaehl}}

== Emerald restart chaos ==

Guess what? It got restarted again, except now with T being saved. Should we change accordingly as the again-restarted game proceeds, or wait until another restart and keep T in? '''[[User:ZappaOMati|Zappa]][[Special:Contributions/ZappaOMati|O]][[User talk:ZappaOMati|Mati]]''' 01:15, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
: Well, might as well hide "A" until a save or another restart occurs. '''[[User:ZappaOMati|Zappa]][[Special:Contributions/ZappaOMati|O]][[User talk:ZappaOMati|Mati]]''' 01:18, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

== Emerald countdown games ==

During the Emerald countdown, Mob has played non-Pokemon games, including but not limited to Sonic (not sure which) and {{tt|Telefang|Of course the host couldn't pass up the joke and advertised it as Pokemon Diamond, lol}}. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 08:46, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

== Problem ==

In the Pokémon subsection of the Pokémon Emerald section below the subsection there was a bunch of sections that is shown and hidden, could someone fix the problem? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:59, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
:Appears to have been fixed. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 03:12, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
::And thanks to the user Cold, it's no longer going to hide. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 03:21, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

== Error ==

There seems to be an error in the Fire Red section: Mew's nickname should be on the page (it's Marc) and Lileep is shown as a Quagsire. [[User:StongRadd|StongRadd]] ([[User talk:StongRadd|talk]]) 17:50, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

== Released section for HeartGold ==

Hello, I created the released section for Kenya (since he was released) but since I'm not very good with coding the boxes, etc. it's messed up. It would be nice if someone could fix this. Thank you.[[User:Nyamini|Nyamini]] ([[User talk:Nyamini|talk]]) 12:36, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

== In-Game Name Colour ==

In the FireRed section where it explains the in-game stream name colours, it specifically states that the colour for those who participated in Pokémon Crystal is blue. If you check the stream, you will in fact see this is purple. Can we get a fix for this, please? Thanks.

(P.S. I know the change is already there, I was told on my talk that it was reverted, but then someone reverted it back (and no, it wasn't me), so this is now here for... conduct, I guess.) - [[User:PersonWithEyes|PersonWithEyes]] ([[User talk:PersonWithEyes|talk]]) 18:06, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

== Intermissions ==

I think it is notable which Pokemon games were played during the intermissions:
*Pokémon Pinball
*Pokémon Puzzle Challenge
*Pokémon Trading Card Game
*Pokémon of the Past DX (The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX hack)
*Pokémon Land GB (Super Mario Land hack)
*Pokémon Adventure ("Sonic 3D Blast 5" hack)
*Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire
*Game Boy Advance Video: Pokémon
*Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
*Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
*Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team
*Pokémon Conquest

..and a lot of non-Pokemon games.

== Navigation Box ==

I have created an infobox in [[User:Ditto51/Sandbox/Twitch Play Pokémon|my sandbox]] (I'll translude below) to help jumping between the sub pages for each game easier. Wondering if it should be implemented?
{{:User:Ditto51/Sandbox/Twitch Play Pokémon}}
--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 16:00, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
:But there aren't subpages for each game. Were there when you made this? [[User:Flarn2006|Flarn2006]] ([[User talk:Flarn2006|talk]]) 05:36, 23 September 2014 (UTC)
:: There was for everything but maybe X. I was going through said pages when I realised you had to go back the main page ti switch between games.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 06:29, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

== A code that forces evolution ==

What? That isn't exactly clear on what it actually does...Does it force all Pokémon to evolve instantly, or does it make it so that it cannot be canceled. Perhaps it should be made clearer on the page.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 20:53, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
:It does exactly what it implies, it forces an evolution that cannot be cancelled.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:06, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

== Is there real evidence? ==

I noticed where it talked about the stream's host, it Implies the streamer as "she" but is there real evidence it's a "she"?[[User:SuperShroom63|SuperShroom63]] ([[User talk:SuperShroom63|talk]]) 04:31, 27 July 2014 (UTC)

Nope. I'll edit that out now. [[User:Darrman|Darrman]] ([[User talk:Darrman|talk]]) 16:09, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

== Edit Limit ==

Can that be hidden until it starts up again, I can't see it being edited lots before it restarts in November? I want to hide it now but feel like we should have a community vote on it (or at least get Admin/Editorial Board permission to removed it temporarily.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 20:37, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
:I was thinking of suggesting this same thing. Aside from moving everything from the last run to an X-titled subpage, all that would really be left to do on this page until the ORAS startup in November would be grammatical/formatting edits, and having a 6-hour limit for what really only boils down to something that simple seems a tad unnecessary. Obviously it would be needed to be put back when it starts up again. But that's for the board to decide, I would gather. [[User:Schiffy|I don't even give a Schif]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 18:24, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
:I'm gonna have to support this too. I was just about to suggest it as well. [[User:Flarn2006|Flarn2006]] ([[User talk:Flarn2006|talk]]) 05:35, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

== Bad quality? ==

I don't want to remove the notice without checking first, because of the edit limit, but what about this article doesn't meet Bulbapedia's quality standards? It looks pretty good to me. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 20:09, 19 April 2015 (UTC)

Don't see anything myself, but ask a few others first.[[User:Flanl|Flanl]] ([[User talk:Flanl|talk]]) 23:15, 19 April 2015 (UTC)
:There is hidden text on the page that says what needs doing:

::TO DO:
::- Fix tenses
::- Confirm Released Pokemon are sorted Chronologically and correct if not (GEN 1 & 2)
::- Confirm Inventory/PC Items are sorted the same way they are in the save file and correct if not (GEN 2 Only)

--[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 01:55, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

:I put the notice there because several items on the page are badly outdated, one of the first things I noticed being the Host section but there's several more. There's also several places where info would better belong in a different section or is badly organized in general. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 18:14, 12 May 2015 (UTC)

== Remove 6-hour limit? ==

Is the limit necessary at this point? If I recall correctly it was implemented only due to how extremely popular the original Red run was such that people were updating the stats continuously. It's been well over a year since then and activity has lessened considerably. Finally, as of the current season and based on the streamer's personally-stated plans, there will only be an active run for short periods of time with long Battle Revolution intermissions in between, during which the limit essentially has no purpose. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 03:40, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
:I would agree, however according to the article a new run of Alpha Sapphire will start in a couple days, which would likely once again start people editing this page as every little change happens. Maybe after that's over remove the limit. [[User:Litwick96|Litwick96]] ([[User talk:Litwick96|talk]]) 04:11, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
::How about moving the notice to only the section that contains the current run? (The word "article" could be changed to "section".) Then if users want to make cleanup edits to other runs' sections, that would be OK to do within 6 hours. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 13:38, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
:::I don't even know if that's possible, and if it is it might be more trouble to implement than it's worth. After this run is over though I personally don't see any reason to continue limiting edits on the page. [[User:Litwick96|Litwick96]] ([[User talk:Litwick96|talk]]) 23:04, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
::::Are you implying that this is the last run? [[User:Flarn2006|Flarn2006]] ([[User talk:Flarn2006|talk]]) 04:09, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
:::::No, I did not mean to imply that. I suppose a more specific way to state my opinion would be to only limit edits on this page during active games, and not restricting it between them. Saying that out loud though does make it sound like an awful lot of admin attention on this one page. [[User:Litwick96|Litwick96]] ([[User talk:Litwick96|talk]]) 06:05, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

== "Episode"? ==

I'm a frequent member of the Twitch Plays Pokemon subreddit and have never heard of playthroughs ever referred to as an "episode", only as a "run". Where did this term come from? [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 16:41, 17 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hmm. I think it just followed logically after classifying each season to further classify each run as an episode. I thought it might help a few years down the line when we're on run 23 and trying to refer to something that happened in a specific run (so instead of Run 21, we would use S04 E03 - I think that's easier to find and easier to think about). Also I thought Season/Episode classification would make more intuitive sense to someone who is only discovering TPP for the first time, since that's the kind of thing they'd be used to. --[[User:Kip|'''K'''''' I ''''''P''']] | [[User_talk:Kip|Talk]] 07:35, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
::To me it doesn't seem like the best term -- I can understand it, but it doesn't feel right for some reason. It seems like it still would be possible to say "Season 4 Run 3" or something like that, though. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 16:15, 18 August 2015 (UTC)

ROM hack

2015-07-30T21:03:04Z

Pokechu22: /* Pokémon TPP Version */ Cited statement about 200 lines of code to reddit comment

'''ROM hacks''', also known as '''hack games''' or '''ROM patches''', are video games that have been edited or altered by enthusiasts. The hackers achieve this by changing the code of the '''R'''ead-'''O'''nly '''M'''emory of a published video game to create something new.

The [[core series]] Pokémon game system is considered very versatile and lends itself well to modification, giving hackers a lot of creative freedom together with a solid, well-tested game engine. These factors, as well as Pokémon’s notable popularity throughout the world, has lead to the creation of thousands of different games spanning multiple generations, ranging from minor adjustments to additional new features and, more and more frequently, entirely new fan-made Pokémon games.

[[File:rijonAdventures Piracy Warning.png|thumb|A warning to users about bootleggers included in Pokémon rijonAdventures]]
There is a distinction between ROM hacks and "bootleg games". These are unauthorised copies of published games which are sold to consumers, often flashed onto after-market game paks or game cards and lacking the official Nintendo Seal. However, since ROM hacks are often distributed over the Internet for free, they are regularly sold as bootleg games, usually against the hacker’s wishes. The reliability of these bootlegs are often poor, and has become such a problem that hackers have started to introduce warning screens into their games, cautioning users that if they paid for it, they may have been scammed.

==History==
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|left|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]
Early Pokémon ROM hacks date back to the late 1990s with modified editions of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. These were often relatively minor adjustments such as sprite or dialogue changes, and would generally follow the flow of the original game. These early ROM hacks were infamous for being particularly crude in nature, ranging from swapping Pokémon and human sprites around to replacing the dialogue with obscene text.

This trend continued until the release of Pokémon Brown by user Koolboyman in the early 2000s, one of the most notable Pokémon hacks in history. This was the first hack to completely re-invent the game, with a brand new region and completely new plot. Later editions included an expanded [[Pokédex]] (including Pokémon from Generations II, III and IV), additional dungeons and additional plot tweaks. It is one of the few completed hack games and was successful enough to warrant a sequel (Pokémon Prism, [[Pokémon Gold|a Pokémon Gold-based hack]]) and a Generation III version (Pokémon rijonAdventures) based on {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.

Since Brown, Pokémon hacking’s notoriety has expanded exponentially, with developers creating many software tools for desktop operating systems to help create maps, edit sprites, graphics and even developing scripting languages specifically for the Pokémon game engine. It has also inspired many hackers to learn how to edit the games' assembly code directly (known as ASM hacking). Numerous hacks have been released, often using FireRed as a base, such as Pokémon ShinyGold, Pokémon Naranja and the Pokémon Ruby Destiny series, just to name a few.

There are many websites dedicated to Pokémon ROM hack development. Notable examples include Skeetendo, PHO and [[PokéCommunity]]’s ROM Hack section, the largest known English-language Pokémon ROM hacking community. Many of these sites hold award nominations and ceremonies to showcase some of the best talents of their community.

==Legality==
As suggested by it’s name, read-only memory is designed only to be read and not modified in any way. Most published games belong to their respective publishers, hence the read-only memory portion of these games are subject to intellectual property and copyright laws. It is illegal in most countries to make copies of or redistribute any of the game’s code. As a result, it is illegal to distribute copyrighted ROM files in any way, including over the Internet. Doing so may result in prosecution on the grounds of copyright law.

This issue is dealt with by hackers distributing what are known as patch files. Essentially, these are small sets of computer instructions on how to modify a ROM file in a particular way, which produces the hacked game. Patch files, often distributed in the IPS or UPS format, are not illegal and can be distributed freely. However, one would need to obtain the required ROM file and patching software in order to apply the patch.

==Game types==
Pokémon ROM hacks tend to fall into five vague categories, though due to the huge versatility of the Pokémon engine, some hacks will transcend several categories at once.

[[File:Pokémon Blaze Black 2.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Blaze Black 2, a popular 649 Hack]]
===151/386/649 or Dex hacks===
These hacks, such as Pokémon Red 151, Pokémon Emerald 386 and Pokémon BlazeBlack/VoltWhite are designed to make available all Pokémon, items and locations within the game, including [[event Pokémon]], [[version-exclusive Pokémon]], Pokémon only obtainable through [[trade|trading]]/migrating, Event Locations and Event Items. These will often not deviate too far from the official game story, and are often used in [[Nuzlocke Challenge|Nuzlocke]] runs and, more notably, for several episodes of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]].

===Hard Mode hacks===
These hacks, such as Pokémon FireRed: The Hard Version and Pokémon Expert Emerald, also differ little from official game in terms of story. They instead have a significantly higher difficulty than usually experienced in regular Pokémon games. These types of games too are popular amongst Nuzlockers as an additional challenge on top of Nuzlocke rules. Many fans see Pokémon Black and White 2’s [[Key System|Challenge Mode]] as an acknowledgement of these hacks, though no official link has been made.

[[File:Day and Night Mode in Liquid Crystal.png|left|thumb|Late evening in Pokémon Liquid Crystal as a result of the fan-developed Day/Night System]]
===ROM bases===
These hacks are often designed to be used as a base for other ROM hacks, and often include major revisions to the game’s base code through ASM hacking to add new features such as additional types or a completely re-vamped tileset. Notable features include the introduction of genders into Pokémon Gold, the addition of a Physical/Special split and the real-time clock into Pokémon FireRed, which gives way to a full Day/Night system, a feature that was missed by many fans in Generation III.

Another noteworthy feature is the development of the UPS format, which allows the expansion of GameBoy Advance ROM hacks from their original 16MB format to 32MB. This has the advantage of effectively doubling the space available for new maps and graphics, but means the game is only playable under emulation and will crash when played on official Nintendo hardware.

[[File:Pokémon Emerald Chinese.png|thumb|200px|A Chinese fan-translation of [[Pokémon Emerald]]]]
===Language hacks===
Since the core series games prior to [[Generation VI]] were regularly released first in Japan, sometimes months ahead of their international releases, amateur enthusiasts would often translate Japanese-language Pokémon games into English and other languages so they could be played by international audiences. Since the translation was often performed by one or a small group of people, the quality of these translations were often dubious to say the least, the most humorous example being Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal. Nonetheless, these hacks were generally translated well enough to be played and were very popular amongst {{wp|YouTube|YouTubers}}.

In recent years, the core series games have begun releasing simultaneously around the world in more languages and as a result the need for language hacks has somewhat diminished. It does still happen for languages that the Pokémon games are not yet available in, most notably [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]].

===Full/complete hacks===
These hacks are complete overhauls of the games, with new characters, plots, regions and features. They often overhaul the game’s graphics, incorporating those seen in later generation games including battle backgrounds, sprites and map tiles. They will regularly include Pokémon, moves and types from later generations, and will sometimes include brand new ones created by the hacker. Some hacks, such as ShinyGold and LiquidCrystal, are remakes of entire previously-released games, in the same way that FireRed and LeafGreen were remakes of Red, Blue and Yellow.

Because of the extraordinary amount of work involved by a voluntary hacker or hacking team, few of these games are finished in their entirety and are usually playable in the form of a beta. Most of the notable hacks below are considered to be part of this category.

{{-}}
==Notable core series hacks==
With the release of easy-to-use hacking tools for the core series games, there are thousands of ROM Hacks available. What follows is a few notable examples, each with a brief explanation.

[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|left|200px|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]
===Pokémon ShinyGold===
"Pokémon ShinyGold" was a [[Generation III]] [[remake]] of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} using the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} engine, echoing how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. Whilst not the first of its kind it is amongst the most well-known Generation III hacks, and despite it never leaving beta is still one of the most popular. It is also one of the most illegally sold ROM hacks, with many bootleg versions of ShinyGold available as pre-patched ROMs or flashed game paks. ShinyGold's creator, username Zel, included a warning in later editions warning users about this problem and to demand their money back if they had paid for it.

ShinyGold is one of a number of [[Generation II]] remakes developed by hackers. Other examples include Pokémon LiquidCrystal and Pokémon CrystalDust, both of which include expanded areas and features, amongst others.

[[File:Ruby Destiny LoG.png|thumb|200px|[[Surfing]] cinematic in Life of Guardians, and example of the 'side-scrolling' perspective sometimes used in hack games]]
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny Series===
"Pokémon Ruby Destiny" is a popular series of games based on the {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} engine created by [[PokéCommunity]] user destinedJaGold. The series consists of three completed games: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers and Life of Guardians. A fourth, Broken Timeline, is currently under development. This series is of particular note, as it is one of the longest running completed hack series available, particularly for its in-depth gameplay and plot. It, like other popular hacks, has even drawn interest from Let's Play creators. The series is also know for incorporating the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy type]] into the Generation III game engine, as well as a user-created "Chaos type", alongside several user-created Pokémon (known as "Fakémon" among fans).

[[File:Starter Moemon Revival.png|thumb|left|200px|The Kanto Starters, represented by Moemon]]
===Moemon===
"Moemon" (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is a prominent hack of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|gijinka}}. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.

A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect.

Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref>

[[File:Pokémon Naranja.png|thumb|200px|Battling [[Tracey (anime)|Tracey Sketchit]] in Pokémon Naranja]]
===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===
"Pokémon Naranja" is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means "{{tt|orange|in reference to the fruit, not the colour}}". {{p|Celebi}} appears as this game's [[version mascot]]. This game is based on the [[S02|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]]. This game is particularly well-polished and features a completely overhauled graphical system, and well as many hours of playtime. Other anime-based hacks include the popular Pokémon AshGray, a FireRed-based game depicting Ash's journey through the [[Kanto]] region in the [[original series]].

[[File:Pokémon TPP Red Battle Transition.png|thumb|left|This custom transition was over 200 lines of new code<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/twitchplayspokemon/comments/2ytt02/dream_red_battle_transition_60fps/cpcuwkm Reddit comment by creator]</ref>]]
===Pokémon TPP Version===
"Pokémon TPP Version" is a hack created for the season 2 opening episode of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]. It is based on the Pokémon Red 151 dex hack and was developed by user pigdevil2010 with EliteAnax17 and the channel's streamer. It is a much tougher version of [[Pokémon Red]], with significant [[level]] increases across all battles. All Pokémon, including [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|version-exclusive]] and {{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|trade evolutions}}, are obtainable as well as catchable (all 151 are available in the wild). The hack includes additional challenges and features, such as [[legendary Pokémon]] respawns, [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] rematches with higher-level teams and Level 100 event battles with [[Professor Oak]] and the original {{ga|Red}} from the first Twitch Plays Pokémon episode. It also includes the Battle Tent, a [[Battle Tower]]-like facility intended for players to earn money post-game.

This hack is notable as it is the first to ever be specifically designed for live broadcast, as well as the first to be designed for Twitch Plays Pokémon's unique play style. For example, {{p|Mew}}'s Cave (a post-game bonus dungeon located in the area of the [[S.S. Anne]]) is not too difficult to navigate with a single player, but with hundreds controlling the game at once, it becomes challenging. The game took 39 days to complete and was played by thousands of people over that time. The patch was only made available after the game was completed by the community. It is also one of the very few hacks that have been released on a physical cartridge with the hackers permission as part of a community-led project.

{{-}}
==Non-core series hacks==
[[File:PA hack screen.png|thumb|150px|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]
Though the core-series is by far the most popular series to hack, there are also many fan-created Pokémon games that do not use these as basis. These include "Pokémon Adventure", a hack of Sonic Adventure 7 for the GameBoy Color and "Pokémon 4-in-1", a hacked game for the NES comprising of several mini games. There are also examples of modified versions of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series and [[Pokémon Conquest]].

{{-}}
==Bootleg games==
Whilst technically-speaking these are modifications of published games, the ROM hacking community generally considers these more as "bootlegs" rather than ROM hacks. The main difference being these games were likely designed to trick players into thinking they were official for monetary gain, something which most ROM hackers actively try and avoid. These games were often flashed to third party game paks and sold illegally. Below are some notable examples.

[[File:Fake Diamond start.png|thumb|left|200px|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]
===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===
Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious Pokémon Diamond and Jade (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). These games are knock-off versions of the Power and Speed Versions of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, respectively, which were only released in Japan for the [[Game Boy Color]] on November 2000, a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and a month prior to {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the same cartridge as an illegally produced Pokémon Crystal cartridge but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. It was also mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as "the bootleg and illegally produced Pokémon Jade".

These bootlegs had numerous glitches that the real games did not have, such as the inability to load a save file properly. The game also contains broken English, profanity, and swearing, which is absent from all official [[Pokémon games]] licensed by [[Nintendo]], with the British Gaming Blog describing the additions as "a healthy dose of Engrish and plenty of swear words."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080708225438/http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=580 British Gaming Blog » Bizarre Bootlegs - The Lighter Side of Piracy] (archived copy)</ref>

The real Telefang games do share conceptual similarities with the real Pokémon games. Whereas in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, players take the role of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels through a specific [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]] to obtain or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Poké Ball]]s and send them out for {{pkmn|battle}}s, in the Telefang games, players take the role of a [http://wiki.telefang.net/T-Fanger T-Fanger] who travels through the Denjū World to befriend creatures called [http://wiki.telefang.net/Denjuu Denjū] and have them battle each other using a device called the [http://wiki.telefang.net/D-Shot D-Shot]. However, unlike Pokémon, Denjū themselves have a D-Shot and call each other to battle. Other similarities between the two game series can be seen in the mechanics of each: the creatures in both share common stats such as HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed; both series have moves or attacks in common, like どくばり ({{m|Poison Sting|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Poison_Sting_(move) Telefang]), とっしん ({{m|Take Down|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Rush_(move) Telefang]), かえんほうしゃ/カエンホウシャ ({{m|Flamethrower|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Flamethrower_(move) Telefang]), or じしん ({{m|Earthquake|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Earthquake_(move) Telefang]), and both series also have natures for their creatures ([[Nature|Pokémon]], [http://wiki.telefang.net/Personality Telefang]), though the effects of moves are not necessarily the same in every case, and natures work differently.

[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png‎|thumb|200px|Title screen of Pokémon Jade 2]]
===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wiki.telefang.net/Telefang_2 Keitai Denjū Telefang 2]. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same people. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.
{{-}}
[[File:GO TO THE ELF'S WORLD.png|thumb|left|160px|A poorly translated version of [[Professor Oak]]'s opening speech]]
{{bulbanews|Gotta Meme 'em All: Vietnamese Crystal}}
===Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal===
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now {{wp|Engrish}}) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character, and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. The translation is so poor that the game has achieved a cult status, and is the subject of many popular Internet memes. It was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon.

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・ユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Okido'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who lives and works at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] in [[Pallet Town]] of the [[Kanto]] region. According to [[Professor Elm]], Oak concentrates on Pokémon and human relationships as a profession.

==In the games==
===In Generation I===
[[File:PkmnProfWantsToFight.png|thumb|right|The unused Trainer class for Professor Oak. However, in this case the game has not changed the battle mode data to a Trainer battle, so if "captured" he would be read as the last normal Pokémon encountered.]]

Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gave {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} their Starter Pokémon in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. He is an idol to many Trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser.

====Pokémon====
=====Red, Green, and Blue=====
Professor Oak confirms having been a successful Trainer in his youth; however, he states that he only possesses the following Pokémon. {{ga|Red}} is allowed to choose one in order to begin his journey. His grandson, {{ga|Blue}}, the {{player}}'s [[rival]], then picks the Pokémon whose type has an advantage against their own.

=====Unused teams=====
In the [[Generation I]] games, there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} data for Prof. Oak. This implies that the player was supposed to battle him at some point in the game.

In the data, Oak has level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, level 70 {{p|Gyarados}} and one of the Kanto {{pkmn2|starter}}s at level 69. This places his strength on-par with the player's rival and the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. As well, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by the Champion, only at higher levels, implying he was originally meant to be Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer. This is supported by an email on the PC in Oak's lab, in which the Pokémon League issues a challenge to all Trainers and specifically requests Oak to come visit them.

The only known ways to battle Oak are by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 226 or by performing the [[old man glitch]] with {{MN}} as the character in the 3rd, 5th or 7th slot of the player's name. These teams cannot be battled when using the old man glitch; they can only be battled via the Ditto glitch if the wild Ditto's {{stat|Attack}} is lowered by 4, 5, or 6 stages (each will yield a different one of the three teams).

===In Generation II===
Professor Oak was always well known in [[Kanto]] but in [[Generation II]] he became more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher". He became famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first but Mary's energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}} first met him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young Trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only the finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the Badges in Johto and later Kanto.

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]] and another is [[Professor Elm]] who used to be Oak's assistant. In fact, there is a picture on Kurt's wall saying "...a young Prof Oak?" and an email addressed to him from Professor Elm can be found in his lab:
:"''...
:''<sc>Prof. Oak</sc>, how is your research
:''coming along? I'm still plugging
:''away. I heard rumors
:''that {{player|<player's name>}} is
:''getting quite a reputation.
:''I'm delighted to hear that.
:''<sc>Elm</sc> in <sc>[[New Bark Town]]</sc> 8-)''"

Professor Oak has gained many fans and admirers. One of them is {{tc|School Kid|Schoolboy}} Chad, who frequently calls the player to share trivia about Oak.

===In Generation III===
Professor Oak returns in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} to reprise his role from the Generation I games. He also grants the {{player}} the [[National Pokédex]] after they have caught 60 different species of Pokémon and defeated the [[Elite Four]].

===In Generation IV===
====Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces Trainers to [[Pal Park]], and gives them the [[National Pokédex]], as well as the [[Up-Grade]], [[Poké Radar]] and the function {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter}} of the [[Pokétch]]. [[Oak's Letter|A letter]] that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}. An aide in Rowan's laboratory mentions that Oak is Rowan's junior in terms of seniority. In Platinum, after providing the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Up-Grade}}, Professor Oak will talk about the [[legendary birds]] and say that they have been sighted in [[Sinnoh]]. From this point {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will be visible roaming on the map.

====HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Mr Pokemon House.png|thumb|right|Oak with {{ga|Ethan}} and Mr. Pokémon in [[Generation IV]]]]
Professor Oak returns in the Johto remakes to fulfill a similar role as he did in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, albeit expanded.

:''"Ah, <player>! You're back, are you? How much have you filled in your <sc>Pokédex?</sc> May I see it? Let's see… You've caught <number of owned Pokémon>… Hm, it looks as if you're putting in an honest effort. When you manage to fill it some more, come show me, please."''

=====[[Oak's Lab]]=====
======Battle======
:''"Oh, for Pete's sake… So pushy, as always. <player>. You've never had a <sc>Pokémon</sc> battle before, have you? A <sc>Pokémon</sc> battle is when <sc>Trainers</sc> pit their <sc>Pokémon</sc> against each other. The <sc>Trainer</sc> that makes the other <sc>Trainer</sc>'s <sc>Pokémon</sc> faint by lowering their HP to ‌“0,” wins. But rather than talking about it, you'll learn more from experience. Try battling and see for yourself."''
* Damaging move used for first time:
:''"Inflicting damage on the foe is the key to any battle."''
* Stat-lowering move used for the first time:
:''"Lowering the foe's stats will put you at an advantage."''
* Party screen is shown for first time (via either Pokémon button or using Potion):
:''"It's important to get know your <sc>Pokémon</sc> thoroughly. This is a list of your <sc>Pokémon</sc>, <player>. Open this to check the skills and moves of your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. You also choose <sc>Pokémon</sc> here if you want to use an item on one."''
* Pokémon is healed via Potion:
:''"Keep your eyes on your <sc>Pokémon</sc>'s HP. It will faint if the HP drops to “0.”
* If player tries to run:
:''"No! There's no running away from a <sc>Trainer Pokémon</sc> battle!"''
* Battle is won:
:''"Hm! Excellent! If you win, you earn prize money, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> will grow! Battle other <sc>Trainers</sc> and make your <sc>Pokémon</sc> strong!"''
* Battle is lost:
:''"Hm! How disappointing… If you win, you earn prize money, and your <sc>Pokémon</sc> will grow. But if you lose, <player>, you end up paying prize money… However, since you had no warning this time, I'll pay for you. But things won't be this way once you step outside these doors. That's why you must strengthen your <sc>Pokémon</sc> by battling wild <sc>Pokémon</sc>. "''

======Overworld======
* After getting dragged into lab:
:''"<rival>? Let me think… Oh, that's right, I told you to come! Just wait! Here, <player>! There are three <sc>Pokémon</sc> here. Haha! The <sc>Pokémon</sc> are held inside these <sc>Poké Balls</sc>. When I was young, I was a serious <sc>Pokémon Trainer</sc>. But now, in my old age, I have only these three left. You can have one. Go on, choose!
:''Be patient! <rival>. You can have one, too!"''
* Before choosing starter:
:''"Now, <player>. Inside those three <sc>Poké Balls</sc> are <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Which one will you choose for yourself?"''
* If player tries to go away before choosing starter:
:''"Hey! Don't go away yet!"''
* When choosing Bulbasaur:
:''"I see! <sc>Bulbasaur</sc> is your choice. It's very easy to raise. So, <player>, you want to go with the <sc>Grass Pokémon Bulbasaur</sc>?
* When choosing Squirtle:
:''"Hm! <sc>Squirtle</sc> is your choice. It's one worth raising. So, <player>, you've decided on the <sc>Water Pokémon Squirtle</sc>?
* When choosing Charmander:
:''"Ah! <sc>Charmander</sc> is your choice. You should raise it patiently. So, <player>, you're claiming the <sc>Fire Pokémon Charmander</sc>?
* After choosing starter:
:''"This <sc>Pokémon</sc> is really quite energetic!"''
* Before battling rival:
:''"If a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears, your <sc>Pokémon</sc> can battle it. With it at your side, you should be able to reach the next town.''"
* If talked to after battling rival:
:''"<player>, raise your young <sc>Pokémon</sc> by making it battle. It has to battle for it to grow."''
* After receiving Oak's Parcel:
:''"Oh, <player>! How is my old <sc>Pokémon</sc>? Well, it seems to be growing more attached to you. You must be talented as a <sc>Pokémon Trainer</sc>. What's that? You have something for me? Ah! It's the custom <sc>Poké Ball</sc>! I had it on order. Thank you!
:''"Oh, right! I have a request for you two. On the desk there is my invention, the <sc>Pokédex</sc>! It automatically records data on <sc>Pokémon</sc> you've seen or caught. It's a high-tech encyclopedia! <player> and <rival>. Take these with you. You can't get detailed data on <sc>Pokémon</sc> by just seeing them. You must catch them to obtain complete data. So, here are some tools for catching wild <sc>Pokémon</sc>. When a wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> appears, it's fair game. Just throw a <sc>Poké Ball</sc> at it and try to catch it! This won't always work, however. A healthy <sc>Pokémon</sc> can escape. You have to be lucky! To make a complete guide on all the <sc>Pokémon</sc> in the world… That was my dream! But, I'm too old! I can't get the job done. So, I want you two to fulfill my dream for me. Get moving, you two. This is a great undertaking in <sc>Pokémon</sc> history!
* When receiving National Pokédex:
:''"{{tt|Ah, now this is excellent! <player>, I have another important favor to ask of you. I need you to listen closely|If talked to instead of beating game with 60 Pokémon owned}}. Recently there have been sightings of many rare <sc>Pokémon</sc> species. I'm talking about <sc>Pokémon</sc> that have never been seen in <sc>Kanto</sc>. I would love to go see things for myself, but I'm much too old. Since I can't do it, <player>, I'd like you to go in my place.
:''"I know, I know. Of course I need your help, too. Now, I need to see both your <sc>Pokédexes</sc>. … … … … … … … … … … … … …And that's done! Now these units can record data on a lot more <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Now, <player> and <rival>! This time, you must really must work towards filling your <sc>Pokédexes</sc>. I urge you to make them the best and the most complete of all time! Truly, this is a monumentally great undertaking in <sc>Pokémon</sc> history!
* If talked again before leaving after getting National Pokédex:
:''"<sc>Pokémon</sc> around the world wait for you, <player>!
* If talked again before leaving after completing National Pokédex:

You've grown up so much since you first left with <starter> to work on the <sc>Pokédex</sc>. <player>, you have come of age! <rival>… I'm disappointed in you. I came when I heard you'd beaten the <sc>Elite Four</sc>. But, when I got here, you had already lost! <rival>, do you understand why you lost? You have forgotten to treat your <sc>Pokémon</sc> with love and trust. Without them, you will never become a <sc>Champ</sc> again! <player>. You understand that your victory was not just your own doing. The bond you share with your <sc>Pokémon</sc> is marvelous. <player>! Come with me!"''

=====[[Hall of Fame]]=====

The rest is as follows
:''"Sorry to keep you waiting! Welcome to the world of Pokémon! My name is Professor Oak. But everyone calls me the Pokémon Professor. Before we go any further, I'd like to tell you a few things you should know about this world! This world is widely inhabited by creatures known as Pokémon. We humans live alongside Pokémon as friends. At times we play together, and at other times we work together. Some people use their Pokémon to battle and develop closer bonds with them. Now, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself? Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? Won't you please tell me?"''
:''"So, you're a boy/girl then?"''
:''"Please tell me your name."''
:''"Your name is <name>?"''
:''"<Player>! Are you ready? Your very own tale of grand adventure is about to unfold. Fun experiences, difficult experiences, there's so much waiting for you! Dreams! Adventure! Let's go to the world of Pokémon! I'll see you later!"''
=====Mr. Pokémon's house=====
:''"And with that... I'm Professor Oak, a Pokémon researcher! So you're <player>! I was just visiting my friend Mr. Pokémon. I heard you were running an errand for Professor Elm, so I waited here. Oh! What's this? A rare Pokémon! I see! You must be helping Professor Elm's research! I think I understand why Professor Elm gave you that Pokémon. You will treat your Pokémon with love and care, it seems. ...Ah! You seem to be dependable. How would you like to help me out? See? This is the latest version of the Pokédex. It automatically records data on Pokémon you've seen or caught. It's a high-tech encyclopedia! I'd like you to have it. Go meet many kinds of Pokémon and complete that Pokédex! But I've stayed too long. I have to get to Goldenrod for my usual radio show. <player>, I have a feeling that is not the last time we'll meet... Let's exchange numbers just to be on the safe side."''

=====Pallet Town=====
======Choosing Kanto Starter======
* If spoken to again after having been offered a Kanto starter, but before choosing one
:''"You don't see them very often in Kanto. Choose one and it'll be yours! ...Go ahead!"''

* When checking the Charmander Poké Ball
:''"So, you're claiming the Fire Pokémon <sc>Charmander</sc>?"''

* When checking the Squirtle Poké Ball
:''"So, you've decided on the Water Pokémon <sc>Squirtle</sc>?"''

* When checking the Bulbasaur Poké Ball
:''"So, you want to go with the Grass Pokémon <sc>Bulbasaur</sc>?"''

* When declining any starter
:''"No need to hurry. Take your time."''

* Upon choosing starter
:''"This Pokémon is really energetic!"''

* After starter has been added to party
:''"If a wild Pokémon appears, your Pokémon can battle it. With it at your side, you should be able to reach the next town... What am I saying? You already know all this! Hahaha!"''

======Embedded Tower Legendaries======
* If spoken to while {{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/4|HG}}/{{p|Groudon}}{{sup/4|SS}} is in the player's party
:''Oh, <player>! What brought you here?''
:''The legendary Pokémon that appear in the Hoenn myth?''
:''You must be talking about Kyogre and Groudon!''
:''The [[Embedded Tower]] is probably the ruins that has something to do with the Hoenn myth. If so, the other one must be around.''
:''Kyogre and Groudon are said to have shaped the seas and lands!''
:''Where those two are, the other Pokémon is said to appear as well... All this is quite possible!''
:''It's not hard to imagine that the Red Orb{{sup/4|HG}}/Blue Orb{{sup/4|SS}} will make Groudon{{sup/4|HG}}/Kyogre{{sup/4|SS}} appear at the Embedded Tower...
:''However, according to Mr. Pokémon, Groudon{{sup/4|HG}}/Kyogre{{sup/4|SS}} does not show itself to Trainers with golden hearts{{sup/4|HG}}/shining-silver spirits{{sup/4|SS}}, but only to those with shining-silver spirits{{sup/4|HG}}/golden hearts{{sup/4|SS}}.''
:''It may be difficult for you alone to accomplish this, <player>.''
:''But if you manage to obtain a Groudon{{sup/4|HG}}/Kyogre{{sup/4|SS}} that came from the Embedded Tower, please do come and show me both legendary Pokémon!''
:''I will then share with you the rest of the Hoenn myth!''

* If spoken to while both Groudon and Kyogre from the Embedded Tower are in the player's party
:''You did it, <player>! You caught both Kyogre and Groudon! OK! I would like to entrust this to you!''
:''It resembles the Orb you received from Mr. Pokémon, doesn't it?'
:''It is called the Jade Orb. It has something to do with {{p|Rayquaza}}.''
:''Legend has it that the battle between Groudon and Kyogre shaped the lands and seas of Hoenn.''
:''Volcanic eruptions and giant waves are said to have completely changed the shape of the land there.''
:''But then Rayquaza came down to halt the battle.''
:''It is a Pokémon that rules the skies!''
:''If the Embedded Tower is related to Kyogre and Groudon, then going there with that Jade Orb will surely make something happen.''

* If spoken to while Rayquaza is in the player's party
:''You have successfully caught Rayquaza!''
:''The strong power of the [[Jade Orb]] must have attracted Rayquaza there!''
:''Pokémon are sometimes greatly attracted by certain Orbs and Stones. No one knows why.''
:''Perhaps memories from ancient times... when this planet was born... and Pokémon, also... are making Pokémon behave that way.''

=====Indigo Plateau=====
* After beating [[Lance]]
:''"Ah, <player>! It's been a long while. You certainly look more impressive. Your conquest of the League is just fantastic! Your dedication, love, and trust for your Pokémon made this happen.

* If the player has obtained no Kanto [[Badge|Gym Badges]]
:''"Hmm? You're not collecting Kanto Gym Badges? The Gym Leaders in Kanto are as tough as any you battled in Johto. I recommend that you challenge them. So, how's your Pokédex coming along?"''
* If the player has started to collect Kanto Gym Badges
:''"Ah, you're collecting Kanto Gym Badges. I imagine that it's hard, but the experience will surely help you. Come see me when you get them all. I'll have a gift for you. Keep it up, <player>! So how's your Pokédex coming along?"''

==In the anime==
[[File:Professor Oak BW anime.png|250px|left|thumb|Professor Oak in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
===In the main series===
{{main|Professor Oak (anime)}}
Professor Oak appears semi-regularly in the [[Pokémon anime]] and gives [[Ash Ketchum]] useful information.
[[File:Professor Oak Origins.png|250px|thumb|Professor in Pokémon Origins]]
===In Pokémon Origins===
Professor Oak appears as a major character in the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series, where he serves a similar role as in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. He assigned {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} with the task of completing his dream of a complete Pokédex. Eventually, Red did manage to catch {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|all 150 known Pokémon}}, but then realized that {{p|Mew}} was still out there, and went on to bring Professor Oak's dream to completion.

==In side games==
Professor Oak also was one of the two human characters appearing in [[Pokémon Snap]]. He was working on a {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}} for the Pokémon species of [[Pokémon Island]], and hired {{Todd}} to take pictures for the report. He provided Todd with the [[ZERO-ONE]] and its [[Dash Engine]] upgrade, [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and a [[Poké Flute]]. When Todd took a picture of each of the [[Pokémon sign]]s, Professor Oak drew a connection between them and the {{pkmn|constellation}}s to determine that {{p|Mew}} must be on [[Rainbow Cloud]].

He also shows up in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], where he enlists the player to help test a translation device called the PokéHelper, using a wild {{p|Pikachu}} as the main research subject. He is also the person who launches the [[Pokémon Channel]] project in the game of the same name, and tuning into the "Oak's Report" channel allows the player to save their game.

==In the manga==
As he is the leading professor of the [[Kanto]] region, Professor Oak appears in many different [[Pokémon manga]] series.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Professor Oak (anime)#In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga|Professor Oak (anime)}}
[[File:Professor Oak EToP.png|thumb|right|Professor Oak in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Professor Oak makes a few appearances in the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. He is a role model to {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and is [[Bill]]'s mentor. Unlike in the anime, he does not give Ash his {{AP|Pikachu}}, in fact, he does not meet Ash until after he has already begun his Pokémon journey.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Professor Oak Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Professor Oak in the HGSS chapter]]
{{main|Professor Oak (Adventures)}}
Professor Oak has a recurring role in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. His first appearance was in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', and he has appeared in most chapters since. Over the course of the manga, Professor Oak helps out the [[Pokédex holder]]s in their various quests. His backstory has been largely expanded in this canon.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Professor Oak Zensho.png|thumb|120px|Professor Oak in Pokémon Zensho]]
Professor Oak appears in Pokémon Zensho and has fulfilled the same role similar to the ones in other media. Professor Oak debuts in ''[[PZ01|Pallet Town]]'' where he saves {{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}} from a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} that were about to attack him. As thanks for Professor Oak's rescue of Satoshi, Satoshi goes to his lab and chooses Charmander since Charmander saved him earlier. Shigeru, Satoshi's rival, chooses Squirtle which made Professor Oak keep {{p|Bulbasaur}} as Bulbasaur would have been too lonely. A backstory is revealed about him in ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]'' where is taking care of {{OBP|Shigeru|Zensho}} and [[Daisy Oak]] since their parents died in a car crash. He is last seen in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'', telling Satoshi and Shigeru about a {{p|Mewtwo|rare Pokémon}} who dwells in [[Cerulean Cave|a cave]].

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Professor Oak appears as a random trophy wearing his regular clothing from the anime.

====Trophy information====
''The leading expert on the study of Pokémon. It seems there are always new and mysterious species of Pokémon being brought to light, and Professor Oak is at the heart of it all with his insightful research. The Pokédex is one of his inventions: new Trainers receive one, and a Pokémon to boot, when they start out.''

==Trivia==
* Professor Oak has appeared in the most generations of any Pokémon Professor, appearing in Generation I and their Generation III remakes as the regional professor and making cameo appearances in Generation II and Generation IV.
* If the player speaks to Professor Oak in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and has their Pokédex evaluated with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught, he will say "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long.", using a lowercase L instead of an I.

Talk:ROM hack

2014-08-08T17:09:05Z

Pokechu22: /* Not all of these are ROM hacks... */ new section

==Notable fangames?==
Should some of the more notable hacks be mentioned, or even given their own pages? I'm pretty sure Moe(kko)mon is rather popular right now. '''[[User:Lime|Lime]]''' → [[User_talk:Lime|♥]]×[[Special:Contributions/Lime|♪]]

:I've got two words for this article. Shiny. Gold. Seriously, I mean, that's probably the most popular GS fanremake there is (..I dunno if there are others out there, lol), and I haven't even heard of the one you just mentioned... hell, I've been thinking of playing through SG because I'm stupid and I never played through Johto .____. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[Special:Contributions/TinaTheKirlia|☆]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]]{{ani|281}} 17:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::Shiny Gold should def be in here.  '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 17:38, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

== Telefang Wiki? ==

There is a [http://telefang.wikia.com/ growing Wiki that is solely dedicated to the Telefang series], where the first game of the series that was eventually hacked into Pokémon Diamond/Jade. I'm thinking about adding it to this article because it has some useful information ([http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Diamond_and_Jade including the hacks themselves], as well as information about the series in general), but I'm not going to add it without it being okay with other people because I don't want to look like a spammer. Should I add it here or not?

Also, there's a really informative fansite dedicated to the game as well. Should I add that too? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 05:38, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

== Another GBA Hack Game ==
I saw this hacked game on eBay. It was called "Perla" and it featured Lucario on the box. The picture even included the manual and it had [[Lucas]] on its pages. Probably Diamond/Pearl-based? [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 03:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:proof? id like to see. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
:actually, i just did a google search. it does indeed exsist, but there are no game play shots. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:11, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

BONG Yes it exists, and it works, i have it! Is it possible to mention it or something? GoldHusky2009 13:31, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

There is one called pokemon ash grey it turns the game into a incomplete game almost like the anime.[[User:Kingsisle|Kingsisle]] ([[User talk:Kingsisle|talk]]) 16:44, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

== Legal Issues ==

We really should put up a warning about the legal issues of hacks, if for no reason other than to protect ourselves from being sued --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 04:58, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

:I really don't see any legal issues, aside from the hack carts themselves. Nintendo really doesn't give a damn about hacks or things like that, as long as they're not sold. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 04:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
::...and most hackers go out of their way to prevent their hacks from being sold. The people who sell them are pirates.--[[User:Goukazaru|Nostalgia]] 04:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

== hack pages ==

we have articles on fizzy bubbles and fire blasting magikarp. why not these?
:Please sign your posts. And i don't know D| Don't ask me, Maybe cause theres not that much information on most of them...But maybe they should...Hmmm [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 22:22, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

sorry[[User:Whatswithalltheextraspace|Whatswithalltheextraspace]] 22:33, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
:We all make mistakes (; Don't worry about it [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 22:35, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:It's mainly due to the fact that these games are hacked from ROMs. ROMs are illegal (that whole 24-hour thing is bull****), cartridges containing these hacks are illegal, and we can't have full articles on games that can only be obtained by illegal means.

:Besides, buying hacks on cartridges can provide inconsistent results and their boxes don't always accurately reflect its content. Hacks may have gamebreaking glitches that can render the game incompletable; the Diamond/Jade pair have several such glitches. Additionally, boxes containing the Quartz hack have an E for Everyone rating pasted onto it, yet that hack's content would lend more to an M for Mature for strong language, use of alcohol, and mature sexual themes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

What about cheating, Mew, Celebi etc...--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 22:43, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:Cheating devices are OK to have articles on since, although they're frowned upon, legal copies of the game can be used with them. Additionally, [[Nintendo]] actually lost a lawsuit over the Game Genie, meaning there's nothing outright illegal about their usage.

:These hacks, on the other hand, require an illegal copy of the game to make, play, and distribute. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:47, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

woah!!! ALL that? and there are people who dont know its a hack, buy it and get arrested? seems unfair.[[User:Whatswithalltheextraspace|Whatswithalltheextraspace]] 22:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

:Law enforcement targets only those that make illegal ROMs and sell illegal games. I highly doubt you'd get arrested for playing Quartz. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:01, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

oh.[[User:Whatswithalltheextraspace|Whatswithalltheextraspace]] 23:26, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

What if someone made a hack game, but gave it out for free? :\ Would that still be illegal? Just wondering [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛
:I don't know about physical copies of it, but most people make ROM Hacks to be played on an emulator, and let people download them. Same with fangames, only minus the emulator.

Hacked games are not necessarily games that are based on main series games. 'Hacked' is just a software term and has nothing to do with illegal measures. Some so-called hacked games are IPS patches for main series ROMs and if these ROMs are illegal then playing a patched version of the ROM will also be illegal. However a game that was hacked together by someone that isn't a patch for a different ROM is not necessarily illegal. Always remember that in many countries possession/receipt of stolen property/goods is a crime, though. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, the patch files are legal, as they don't contain copyrighted materials. However, it is illegal to use the patch file, as you need a ROM to do so, and a ROM is illegal as it violates copyright. The ROM download is illegal because it contains the copyrighted data from the original game. However, this is only true of hacks, and not of bootlegs, which are completely legal as far as I know. [[User:Quadzar|Red is not Ash. (Quadzar)]] 05:44, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
::Individual Pokémon ''names'' are trademarked, as is the word "Pokémon". If the bootlegs are Pokémon games, or even contain Pokémon, they contain trademarked materials and thus are not legal unless the creator has permisson from the trademark holder. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 06:31, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
:::You have a point. But, doesn't that make it still legal if none of that is mentioned?[[Ash Ketchum|Red]] is [[User Talk:Quadzar|not]] [[Ash Ketchum|Ash.]] [[User:Quadzar|(Quadzar)]] 18:48, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
::::If it isn't called a Pokemon game, doesn't contain Pokemon and is created from scratch (using even scraps of code from the games would be considered illegal), then it depends on how similar it is to the Pokemon games. If the mechanics are too similar (e.g. replaced everything related to Pokemon with something else but kept the same mechanics) then it could still be considered to be in breach of copyright, and Nintendo could still take action if it thought the mechanics were too similar. So yes, I believe bootleg games would be legal, provided that they aren't Pokemon games, don't contain Pokemon, and don't play too similarly to Pokemon games. In which case they have no place on this article. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:41, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

== THREE games called "Pokémon Jade"? ==
When searching for "pokemon jade" on YouTube, I found that there were not one, not two, but THREE different bootleg games called "Pokémon Jade." The most notable one, and the one that everybody talks about, is an Engrish hack of [http://telefang.wikia.com/wiki/Telefang_1 Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Speed Version], and had a counterpart, "Pokémon Diamond" (not to be confused with the one for the DS, but rather a hack of Keitai Denjuu Telefang - Power Version) -- though this is already mentioned in the article anyway. However, I found two other games with the same name. One of them, found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lyGkQ7JIKg here], is a combination of other fake games -- Pokémon Adventure being one of them, but there were a few other games that this fake is based off of. There was also a video on YouTube a while ago (which is unfortunately gone now) showing a Pokémon Jade for Game Boy ADVANCE -- not Color, but Advance. The video didn't show any footage of the game, just the cartridge and box, but if I remember correctly, the cartridge had the deer thing (Shishigami?) that was also on the cartridge for the Pokémon Jade that was based off Telefang Speed. Anybody know more information about these games? [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 03:25, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
There is also another jade version in development-Rabla 20:58, 11 October 2008 (AEST)

== To do ==

*Explanation of the legal issues related to ROM hacking and playing ROM hacks. (In theory it can be legal, in practice it almost never is.) Elaboration on patching versus actual ROMs being released.
*Distinction between bootlegs and fan-made hacks. Remove redundancy relating to "oh yeah zel put in an anti-bootleg screen" and "chaos black is known for being bootlegged".
*Some guideline for notability of hacks. There's a new hack announced every other day at Pokecommunity, but how many actually get finished? Next to none. Diamond/Jade are notable. Chaos Black is notable. Prism and Shiny Gold are notable. Moemon? Debatably notable (I had never heard of it, although apparently it made it onto Kotaku). But unless Bulbapedia starts having individual pages on specific hacks, it shouldn't be considered an index of them.
*Page should probably be moved to ROM hacks, as this by far is the more widely used (and more precise) name.

:Not notable. There's such a glut of Pokemon hacks out there that there'd be no point in describing it.

==Exact Bootlegs==

I was wondering if we should add a section about the fact that some people take the actual games and not remakes or revisions and bootleg them onto GBA cartridges and sell them over ebay, and amazon under the sold by users section. It happened to me on amazon and I have read other accounts of it happening to other people. One of the common things that happens with these bootlegs is there is compatibility issues when trying to use dongle method or the pal park, as well as the emerald save data being erased when Diamond or Pearl is loaded. Here is another account besides my own to whom it has happened link: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=4860767] Pazusalmon

== Pokemon Creepy Black Version? ==
Should there be anything about this one in here?
Here's a likn to a video describing it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iYwMgG8dNs
Or if you can't watch it (for whatever reason) I will breifly explain:
Basically it's Pokemon Red Version. Everything is the same until you first look at your Pokemon. You'll have your starter and a Pokemon named "Ghost". It's sprite is the same as ghosts from Lavender Town. You can't trade it, release it, etc. It only has one move "curse". When you use it, the screen cuts to black and you hear the Pokemon who you're battling's cry, except the pitch is lower. It goes back to the regular battle screen, except the Pokemon is not there. It's implied the Pokemon died. So you go through the entire game. It's pretty much the same as Red. You can use Curse on anyone (except a few people, I forget who). So after you beat it all, it cuts to black. You then see an old person looking at graves in Lavender Town. The old man is apparently your player. You can walk anywhere on the map, except nobody else is around. The Lavender Town theme plays everywhere. You are able to go back to Pallet Town. When you go to your house and stand on the tile that you started on, cut to black. Then every player and their Pokemon you used Curse on appears, one by one. The Lavender Town theme slowly becomes deeper in pitch and slower in speed. Finally, you battle Ghost. You have no Pokemon, cant escape, etc. Finally when you're down to minimal health, Ghost uses Curse, the screen cuts to black, the end. You have to start a new game if you want to play again. Freaky, right? Oh....that was a little more than breifly. Oh Well.

There is also a hack of firered that adds ghost with your starter but you don't kill anyone.[[User:Kingsisle|Kingsisle]] ([[User talk:Kingsisle|talk]]) 19:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Well i just recently bought a game called Pokémon Arcoris (still dont got it tho, its in mail) and im supprised its not here already.

==Emerald 386 and FireRed Omega?==
Would these two be considered notable? At least on the Nuzlocke forum, they seem to be very popular and well known, and so I was wondering if at least a mention of them could be made on this page.

== Pokemon Uranium ==

Hey, I'm one of the developers for Pokemon Uranium. (I'm the spriter/writer/designer). I just want to make a few corrections: it's NOT a rom hack, it's an RMXP fangame designed to be played on the computer. Here is the [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=215424 Pokecommunity thread].

There is no "Uranium team," it's just me and ~JV~, the programmer/mapper.

While I appreciate the free hits, I'm not sure whether it should be a part of this page since it's not, technically speaking, a hacked game. I think a section for notable non-hack fangames is a good idea, though, because there are a few which are complete (such as Pokemon Raptor) that deserve some recognition.

==Crystal GBA/Crystal Shards==

I saw a game labelled Pokémon Crystal on Ebay but the game was a GBA cartridge. I bought it out of curiosity and the title screen calls it Pokémon Crystal Shards. It seems to be a badly translated hack of a Spanish FireRed and doesn't make sense at some points, like Professor Oak trying to teach me Softboiled before entering my name. Anyone else know of this game and does it deserve a section? [[User:Wexdarn|Wexarn]] 12:44, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
:Haha, that's hilarious. I wonder if it was due to the pirates's bad translation skills / need to fill in space with somehting, or if that was added intentionally for the point of being funny. Anyway, I can't comment on this, as I've never heard of it... but then again, I've never heard of most of the games on here. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:16, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

==Additions==
I've heard of a game not on here... it was called "Monster! Go! Go!" (or something along those lines)... it was a hack of some Smurfs game where a lot of the graphics were changed to Pokémon. I've never played it, but from the screenshots it looks like they did a good job. I'm sure other people have heard of this? I'm not adding it because I don't really know anything about it, and I don't know if its notable.

Also this was mentioned before, but how about some mention of Pokémon fan games that aren't hacks... ones that are made from scratch or made in some game-making program? I do believe that they should get their own page, but I've noticed no one has done so. I'm not starting the page since I don't really know much about them, but I do know that they exist. I'm pretty sure that there's at least one Pokémon MMORPG out there (or being worked on). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 16:24, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

== A couple of possible additions ==

Of the many hacks I've played over the years, there are a few I believe are good enough to add to this page:

The first is the entire Ruby Destiny series by DestinedJagold, which I notice has been mentioned before. I figured I should explain that the series is made of three games: Reign of Legends (a Ruby hack that has plenty of Generation IV Pokemon and a few customs), Rescue Rangers (a hack that is similar in style of play to the original Mystery Dungeon games), and Life of Guardians (more Gen IV Pokemon and completely new story). These three games definitely belong on this page.

The other game is the first Generation V hack I have ever seen, called Blaze Black and Volt White. As the names suggest, they are hacks of Black and White Versions. These games, no matter which you play, have all 649 Pokemon available to own without connecting to other games (i.e. in game trades, evolution and basic catching). This includes every starter and every legendary. The trainer battles are also harder in both team makeup, moves and level. For example, the Striaton City gym leader now has all 5 starters of their main type (depending on who you battle against) at level 12 and the Pan-monkey of their type at level 14, all in a rotation battle. Other changes include changing the types of some Pokemon (Serperior is now a Grass/Dragon), every Pokemon having a chance of having their Dream World ability upon capture, changes in some move types (Cut is now Grass, Strength is now Rock), changes in evolution methods (mainly for the ones that need to be traded to be evolved), and changes in what some Pokemon can learn in terms of leveling up and by TMs and HMs. These are only a few of the changes that Drayano (the hack's creator) made. Here is a link for full information on the hack:
http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=247696

I would love to see both these hacks included on this page., hopefully someone reads this.

==Move==

This page should be moved to ROM hacks. That is the more common name and "hack games" can refer to games that have been hacked into by an [[Action Replay]]. [[User:Spyspotter|Spyspotter]] [[User talk:Spyspotter|says…]] Edit the mainspace, [[Special:ListUsers|kids!]] 13:03, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
:I agree. As someone who is actually involved in the ROM Hacking community, I can't recall a single time that someone has referred to them as "Hack games". Typically it's just "ROM Hacks", or occasionally just "hacks".--[[User:Goukazaru|Gou]] ([[User talk:Goukazaru|talk]]) 18:13, 23 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah... "ROM hacks" (or just the shortened "hacks") is definitely the most common term. "Hacked ROMs" showing up pretty commonly too.

:Also agreed. If you look on any of the forums that the patches to the games are posted on (projectpokemon, pokecommunity, gbatemp, etc.), you will see, almost 100% of the time, the words "ROM Hack(s)," or as Gou said, sometimes just "hacks." "Hack games" however, is a very scarcely used term. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 19:42, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

== "Also known as Fan Games" ==
Um... no. A "fangame/fan game" refers to a game someone actually made themselves (such as with RPG Maker, Game Maker, the OHRRPGCE, or something along those lines... or even coding it from scratch!) They may sometimes have graphics and such taken from the official games, but an actual fangame isn't edited from one of the official games like a ROM hack is. They're two different things.

== Chinese fan translation? ==

Because of a recently lifted, decade-long ban on the video game hardware market in China, none of the Pokémon games have been officially translated into Chinese currently. A lot of Pokémon games were translated to Chinese by some fan translation team. FRLG、Emerald、DPPt、HGSS、BW、B2W2 and many spin-off games have fully (or nearly fully) fan translations.

Should I put this in the article?

This page probably needs to be split into separate categories. Not all of these are ROM hacks of Pokémon games; and some aren't even rom hacks of any game but instead their own separate game. First off, there are ones that aren't hacks of Pokémon games (Among others, [[Rom hacks#Pokémon Adventure|Pokémon Adventure]]; [[Rom hacks#Pokémon Diamond and Jade|Diamond and Jade]] and [[Rom hacks#Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2|their sequels]]). There also are the games which are completely separate, not even hacks of an existing game (Only example on this place is [[Rom hacks#Pokémon 4-in-1|Pokémon 4-in-1]], but there are others, such as the NES port of Pokémon Yellow). Both of these categories should be split off, probably into separate sections on this page.

:All Generation I games have {{wp|Super Game Boy}} enhanced features. In addition, whenever the Japanese {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} or the America {{2v2|Red|Blue}} are played through the [[Game Boy Tower]] features in the Stadium games, all of these enhancements are present in the emulation. Odds are the colors on the sprites in question are taken from these enhanced features.

:{{v2|Yellow}} does appear to maintain its [[Game Boy Color]] features when played in Game Boy Tower, but does use its Super Game Boy border. In addition, the [[Generation II]] games {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} (but not {{v2|Crystal}}) also feature Super Game Boy enhancements, but contribute only its SGB borders to Game Boy Tower; Game Boy Tower appears to emulate the games as they would on a GBC as opposed to an SGB.

==The "Discussion of Generation I" section==

is opinionated, poorly-defended, and fairly out of touch with RBY. As such I think it needs a rewrite, though I have enough changes that I'd rather bring it up here than overhaul it all in one go.

''When the games were first released, despite their inferior graphics and sound compared to other games of the time,''

"...inferior graphics and sound..." is editorializing. I happen to prefer the first generation's graphics, though not it's music, but in any case it's not our place to enshrine opinion as fact.

''Psychic-type Pokémon having virtually no match, due to their moves being resisted by no types other than itself, and their only weakness being Bug (that had only three damaging moves, Leech Life, Pin Missile and Twineedle). This made it easy for the player to catch a Drowzee relatively early into the game, evolve it and teach it the move Psychic, allowing it to easily defeat any opponent bar Sabrina. ''

Psychics do have a match: Normals. Both in-game and competitively there are as many good Normals as Psychics, and one could even make the same case for Waters.

The number of Bug moves isn't the problem, it's how they're distributed. No one would complain about Psychics if Tauros, Dodrio, Snorlax, and Rhydon all got Twineedle. Instead Beedrill does, which is as much to say that no viable Pokémon gets a Bug move.

Drowzee is an odd choice for the Psychic poster-child as Kadabra is simply better. Drowzee can beat Sabrina without too much hassle though with Headbutt (or Body Slam if you're willing to use the TM so). Defeating any opponent in the game isn't a high bar though, many Pokémon can do it.

''Except for the Elite Four, there were no Trainers that could be rebattled, meaning that, barring winning expensive TMs at the Game Corner and selling them or using Pay Day many times, the amount of money that a player could earn before reaching Indigo Plateau was limited. ''

Point taken, but is this a balance issue? Or even an issue at all?

''The Special stat working as both Special Attack and Special Defense meant that Pokémon with a high Special stat had a decisive edge in battle. An example is Venusaur, with a Special base stat of 100, using Grass-type (and therefore Special) moves, and being weak to mostly Special types (except for the Flying and Ground type).''

I think I know what this paragraph means to say: that the combined Special stat makes RBY hinge too much on the Special side over the Physical side. It's arguable, though I'd disagree. This is an obscure way of phrasing it and an even obscurer way of arguing the case though. As is the argument is merely that it's good to have a high Special stat and some Pokémon wage battle mostly on this one side, which is a truism and says nothing about balance; you could argue the same for any Physical Pokémon.

''The first generation of Pokémon games were more directed towards genetics and engineering. The three starters, Bulbasaur (dinosaur-plant hybrid), Charmander (salamander), and Squirtle (turtle), are all reptilian in nature, and take some elements from the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are reptiles, and were one of the most successful groups of animals to exist. Bulbasaur, the most similar to dinosaurs of the three, is the first listed in the Pokédex. Other Pokémon in the generation continue this theme. Eevee is capable of evolving into multiple forms due to its unstable DNA; Voltorb...''

Another workable thesis, but it's very weirdly defended. The reptile part doesn't connect at all to the genetics and engineering part.

Also the Trivia section is poorly-conceived, but I gather that's a well-known issue on Bulbapedia pages in general. I hope we can figure out a way to edit what seems like an interesting perspective on the first generation's place in Pokémon history into a more objective and more true-to-RBY form. Cheers!

Error message

2014-06-29T01:54:03Z

Pokechu22: Added reference image and reoriented Errors above 99 / Mixed errors.

{{redirect|Error|errors in the game's programming|glitch}}
In the Pokémon games, there are several '''error codes''' which can appear when the game is not functioning properly. These codes were probably intended to help developers by indicating the nature of the error and roughly where to look for it.

==In [[Generation I]]==

In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, there are several unused error codes (Japanese: エラー) that are only available through glitching or hacking. Error codes normally appear when the game prints an internal '00' character code in the middle of a text string. In Pokémon Red and Blue they appear in the form of "(x) ERROR.", while in Pokémon Yellow they appear in the form of "(x) error." The error code is normally the index number of the text box that contains the '00' character. When an error code is printed on the screen, the game ignores all text that follows it.

The memory address $FF8C usually stores the identifier of the text box after the message is closed. When displaying [[Game Corner]] prizes, it is used to store the current window. Error codes can appear during [[Mew glitch|Trainer escape glitches]]. For example, in Pokémon Red and Blue, fleeing from the long-range Trainer on Route 6, re-enabling the ability to use the start menu with a Trainer in a location other than Route 6 and returning to Route 6 after reading the PokéMart sign in Vermilion City will bring up a "9 ERROR." This is because the PokéMart sign in Vermilion City has a text identifier of 09h, stored in the memory address $CF13. Upon returning to Route 6, the game attempts to print text box 09h but the corresponding text for Route 6 doesn't exist and is presumably just a single 00 character, so the game prints a "9 ERROR."


===Errors with numbers above 99===
[[File:Gen1TilesetNumEquiv.png|thumb|right|Reference for icons used with error numbers greater than 99, in the Pokémon Center {{wp|tileset}}. On the left are the tiles, and on the right are some examples.]]
Due to the fact that Generation I games were never designed to use more than 99 message boxes, error codes from glitch boxes with an ID of {{tt|100 or greater|0x64 or greater in hexadecimal}} will display using a tile rather than a number.
==='Mixed errors'===
Mixed error codes is a misnomer for false error codes that can appear to have large numbers. In glitch dialog, numbers can precede the 00 character that prints an error code, giving the impression that the error code number is larger than it actually is. For example, it is not possible to have 9991234 error; that message is either "99912" followed by 34 error, or "999123" followed by 4 error. This effect can be combined with error numbers greater than 99.

==In [[Generation II]]==

[[Generation II]] games still have the original error code system from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, with text errors being signalized in form of ''(x)Df-''. These error codes are commonly seen while browsing through corrupted mail, after performing the [[Trainer House glitch]]. The text ''Df-'' comes from the untranslated Japanese string "エラー", meaning "error". Just like in the previous games, error codes appear when the game prints a '00' character in the middle of a string, and the error code number is the index of the textbox containing the '00' character.

{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} also feature a more detailed method of handling errors compared to Red, Blue and Yellow, although error messages are uncommon in-game without using [[cheating]] devices.

In glitch dialog, numbers can precede the 00 character that prints an error code, giving the impression that the error code number is larger than it actually is. For example, it is not possible to have 9991234 error; that message is either "99912" followed by 34 error, or "999123" followed by 4 error.
===Errors with numbers above 99===
Due to the fact that Generation I games were never designed to use more than 99 message boxes, error codes from glitch boxes with an ID of {{tt|100 or greater|0x64 or greater in hexadecimal}} will display using a tile rather than a number. 

==In [[Generation II]]==

[[Generation II]] games still have the original error code system from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, with text errors being signalized in form of ''(x)Df-''. These error codes are commonly seen while browsing through corrupted mail, after performing the [[Trainer House glitch]]. The text ''Df-'' comes from the untranslated Japanese string "エラー", meaning "error". Just like in the previous games, error codes appear when the game prints a '00' character in the middle of a string, and the error code number is the index of the textbox containing the '00' character.

{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} also feature a more detailed method of handling errors compared to Red, Blue and Yellow, although error messages are uncommon in-game without using [[cheating]] devices.

The '''Team Rocket HQ''' (Japanese: '''ロッケトだんアジト''' ''Team Rocket Hideout''), called the '''Rocket Hideout''' in [[Generation II]], is the headquarters and a hideout for [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Johto]] [[region]], located beneath "Just a Souvenir Shop" in [[Mahogany Town]].

==In the games==
For a period of time in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, [[Team Rocket]] used these headquarters as a power source to send out high-frequency sound waves, which disturbed the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Mahogany Town]], [[Lake of Rage]], and other surrounding locations, affecting their [[evolution]] patterns. It is also the source of the problems occurring at the lake, involving the appearance of a [[red Gyarados]].

After the {{player}} encounters the red Gyarados, [[Lance]] requests the {{player}}'s help to stop Team Rocket's plans. After [[Ariana]] is defeated, she explains that they were trying to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} living in the Lake of Rage because {{p|Gyarados}} are far more profitable and rare than their pre-evolutionary form. Team Rocket abandon the headquarters and search for their next course of action.

When Lance and the player invade the HQ, the player must defeat the male and female {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s on the third floor to acquire the two passwords to the main office. In [[Generation II]], after defeating the {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executive}} here, the {{p|Murkrow}} next to his desk tells the player that the password to the generator room is "Hail [[Giovanni]]". In [[Generation IV]], [[Petrel]] tells the player the password but also tells he/she the door to the generator only opens when he speaks the password. After defeating him, the Murkrow reveals its ability to mimic voices, and will lead the player to the generator door and opening it by speaking the password in Petrel's voice. In Generation II, the player battles a female Rocket Executive at this point, while in Generation IV, the player and Lance battle [[Ariana]] and a male Team Rocket Grunt. Once the {{p|Electrode}} powering the generator are defeated, Lance gives the player the [[HM06|HM]] containing {{m|Whirlpool}} as thanks for the assistance.

Though Lance instructs the player to knock out the Electrode powering the generator, the player is able to catch them if they choose to do so, and the result will be the same as if they had knocked them out.

===Geography===
[[File:Transmitter Room.png|thumb|right|The transmitter room]]
According to the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s found inside the HQ, it was once used as a {{wp|ninja}} base, and was presumably renovated by [[Team Rocket]] sometime in the past.

The upper floor of the base contains {{p|Persian}} statues with security cameras in their eyes; walking past one triggers two Team Rocket Grunts that {{pkmn|battle}} the {{player}} until they deactivate the cameras using a switch in the center of the area. The far left hallway bypasses most of the Persian cameras, but the floor is booby-trapped with {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, and {{p|Geodude}}, which battle the player and have a tendency to {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}}.

The second floor contains the generator room where six {{p|Electrode}} power the radio transmitter. The room is locked and requires a password to open.

The third floor contains workstations, and a passage back onto the second floor leads to the rear of the HQ, where the main office is located. The office is also locked and requires two passwords to open.

[[File:Team Rocket Lake Rage HQ.png|thumb|right|200px|The Team Rocket research facility in the anime]]
In ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'', a research facility at [[Lake of Rage|Lake Rage]] appeared, where it was emitting radio signals that forced the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to [[Evolution|evolve]], as part of [[Project R]]. This facility was guarded by {{p|Persian}} statues with cameras in them, like the Team Rocket HQ in the games. [[Team Rocket HQ (anime)|The actual headquarters]] were mentioned and [[Professor Sebastian]] headed there to await the [[red Gyarados]]'s transport there, where he intended to study it.

Pokechu22: /* Glitch Dimension? */

==New subgroup==
I think that the part "Multiple generations" is misleading, and should have a subgroup "Generations I and II". I keep expecting to see details about GenIII-V there...[[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 04:01, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

== Beta Safari Zone? ==

Shouldn't that be part of the beta template? How is it a glitch? :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 18:55, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

== Remaining HP glitch ==

Shouldn't the [[Remaining HP glitch]] also be added?

[[User:Bulbapedian2187|Bulbapedian2187]] 13:59, 24 July 2011 (UTC)
:The remaining HP glitch is still undergoing research [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gcltempboard&action=display&thread=368 here]. The page currently doesn't show the full extent of the glitch, so I have left it hidden for now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:22, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

== Glitch Dimension? ==

Why is the [[Glitch dimension]] also in the Gen I box? --SkarmoryBlaze 18:12, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
:Because an effect similar to the glitch dimension [[Glitch_dimension#In_Generation_I|can happen in Generation 1]]. --[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 19:49, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
:As [[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] said, you can get it in some cases in gen 1. On the page [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTuIocHmGVM this] video is linked. It's just the way that the game works. The glitch dimension is just the game failing the "Am I on a GBC" check; the effect could (hypotheticaly) occur on any GBC game. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 21:50, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

'''Pokémon Adventures''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターSPECIAL''' ''Pocket Monsters SPECIAL'') is a {{pkmn|manga}} series authored by 日下秀憲 [[Hidenori Kusaka]]. It was illustrated by 真斗 [[Mato]] for the first nine volumes and starting from {{PAV|10}} it has been illustrated by 山本サトシ [[Satoshi Yamamoto]]. It is published by [[Shogakukan]] under the Ladybird Comics Special series.

It is popularly known as '''Pokémon Special''' even outside of Japan, and often shortened as PokéSpe (Japanese: ポケスペ / ポケSP ''PokeSupe'').

Unlike the anime—which, though drawing much inspiration from the games, does not follow them exactly—Pokémon Adventures is a mostly game-based manga, with the nineteen main characters taking their names from the [[core series]] games and their various adventures tending to stay restricted to their home [[region]]. Also unlike the anime, which has gone to great lengths to indicate the danger of a [[legendary Pokémon]] being captured, the main characters of Pokémon Adventures have captured and sometimes use their own legends, much as the {{player}} can in the games. Pokémon Adventures also contains darker elements than other media, including certain characters and some Pokémon actually dying.

On October 26, 2009, it was announced that Gakunen magazine Grade 5 and Grade 6 (at the time serializing the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}) would cease publication at the end of the fiscal year. In February 2012, Grade 4—which was serializing the {{chap|Black & White}} at the time—also ceased publication. Publication will continue in CoroCoro Ichiban and Pokémon Fan magazine.

Pokémon creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]] reportedly stated, "This is the comic that most resembles the world I was trying to convey."<ref name="tajiri">[http://web.archive.org/web/20021215144736/www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/characters.html]</ref> Game producer [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] also allegedly praised the series, saying, "I want every Pokémon fan to read this comic!"<ref name="ishihara">[http://web.archive.org/web/20030202213736/http://www.vizkids.com/pokemon/adventures/index.html]</ref>

==Story arcs==
{{spoilers}}
The various {{adv|chapter}}s of Pokémon Adventures span the six [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]] so far. These chapters are named typically for the games they correspond to; however, the protagonists of each chapter typically also share these names.

===Red, Green & Blue chapter (Volume 1~3)===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VIZ volume 1.png|thumb|Pokémon Adventures volume 1 (VIZ media Second edition)]]
{{main|Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)}}
The first chapter of Pokémon Adventures, much like the first games, chronicles the journeys of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} across the [[Kanto]] region, conquering its eight [[Gym]]s and the [[Pokémon League]]. Later, a third Trainer, {{adv|Green}}, is added into the plot. Together, the three defeat [[Team Rocket]], an evil organization that uses Pokémon for illegal acts. Red also helps [[Blaine]] to capture {{Adv|Mewtwo}} and saves {{adv|Yellow|a young girl}} from [[wild Pokémon]] in [[Viridian Forest]]. In the end, as in the games, Red defeats Blue in the Pokémon League.

===Yellow chapter (Volume 4~7)===
{{main|Yellow chapter (Adventures)}}

The Yellow chapter starts two years after {{adv|Red}} obtains his title of the Champion in the [[Pokémon League]]. {{adv|Red}} disappears for one month after he leaves to answer a challenge from someone named [[Bruno]]. One day, {{adv|Professor Oak}} discovers Red's {{P|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], injured at his doorstep. Soon after the arrival of Pika, a young Trainer comes into the Professor's lab. The Trainer, {{adv|Yellow}}, claims that "he" is a friend of {{adv|Red}} and wishes to look for him with Pika. While {{adv|Professor Oak}} is still skeptical about Yellow, especially about "his" ability of healing and sensing Pokémon's emotions, he eventually entrusts this mission and Red's upgraded [[Pokédex]] to the young Trainer. However, this event only triggers the revelation of a larger secret as Yellow is repeatedly attacked by members of the [[Elite Four]]. When Yellow discovers that the Elite Four base is situated at Cerise island, Yellow heads there and meets up with Blaine, Blue, Green and the Team Rocket Commanders: Sabrina, Lt. Surge, and Koga. They decide to team up to take down the Elite Four, where {{Adv|Red}} also joins them.

===Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Volume 8~15)===
{{main|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)}}

As peace is returning to [[Kanto]], new journeys and happenings are beginning in another region, [[Johto]]. {{adv|Gold}} was enjoying his normal life with his family Pokémon, who have been with him since birth, until he ran into a Pokémon thief at [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. As he goes on a journey of chasing the thief, {{adv|Silver}}, with a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm and [[Pokédex]] from {{adv|Professor Oak}}, he stumbles upon the secret plots of the [[Masked Man]]. At the same time, {{adv|Professor Oak}} sends out a "Pokémon Capture Professional," {{adv|Crystal}}, on a journey of completing the Pokédex. She gets involved in [[Eusine]]'s plans to capture {{p|Suicune}} and tries to do so herself. Soon after, she also gets involved with the plots of Masked Man, who is apparently after the two legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}. The more shocking revelation follows: this Masked Man is actually one of the 8 [[Gym Leader]]s of the Johto area.

===Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Volume 15~22)===
{{main|Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)}}

Things have just settled down in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but another new region comes on screen. This chapter is about the "rivalry" of {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}}, who are trying to conquer all the [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Gym]]s in [[Hoenn]] respectively within the span of 80 days. Just like their counterparts in Kanto and Johto, they encounter two evil organizations, the land-favoring [[Team Magma]] and sea-favoring [[Team Aqua]]. Team Aqua steals the Heart component from Mr. Stone, President of Devon Corporation, while Team Magma steals the Submarine Explorer I. Team Aqua destroys the volcano using the Grand Meteor, disrupting the balance of nature. Sapphire picks up a piece of the Grand Meteor and keeps it, but not for long, as soon she and Ruby clash with the leaders [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] as the two new [[Pokédex Holder]]s attempt to quell the two titans {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

===FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Volume 22~26)===
{{main|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter (Adventures)}}

The FRLG series continues the series featuring the characters Red and Blue as they are forced to explore the [[Sevii Islands]] to look for {{adv|Professor Oak}} who has been kidnapped by [[Team Rocket]]. Meanwhile, {{adv|Green}} has finally located her parents, but as she is about to meet them, they get swallowed up by a mysterious black hole after a {{p|Deoxys}} attacks them. Red, Green, and Blue must locate the missing relatives with the help of former foe [[Lorelei]], the psychic mutant {{Adv|Mewtwo}} and a mysterious old lady, [[Kimberly]], while defeating Team Rocket again at the same time. Back in [[Kanto]], {{adv|Silver}} is seeking his parents as well, with the help of {{adv|Yellow}}. He is soon shocked by the revelation of who his father really is.

===Emerald chapter (Volume 26~29)===
{{main|Emerald chapter (Adventures)}}

The grand opening of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} takes an unexpected twist when {{adv|Emerald}} appears on the scene. Now he must conquer the seven facilities in seven days. With a seemingly unmatched ability in battling and access to every Pokémon {{adv|Crystal}} has ever caught, [[Guile Hideout]], the mysterious stranger that attacks [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] and is seeking {{p|Jirachi}}, may be more of a worry, especially if he catches Jirachi first.

===Diamond & Pearl chapter (Volume 30~38)===
{{main|Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)}}

An important family from the region of [[Sinnoh]] sends their latest descendant {{adv|Platinum}} on a special mission with two [[Paka and Uji|bodyguards]]. Platinum instead meets with {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}}, who coincidentally match the description given to her (two boys in scarves, one in red, the other in green). They join her, believing she is the tour guide of a trip to [[Mt. Coronet]] they won as a prize in a comedy contest. But these misunderstandings mark the start of their Pokémon journeys.

===Platinum chapter (Volume 38~40)===
{{main|Platinum chapter (Adventures)}}
This chapter follows Lady {{adv|Platinum}} Berlitz as she enters the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} to gather information on the mysterious [[Distortion World]] so she can rescue [[Paka and Uji|two very important people]]. Joining Platinum is [[Looker]], member of the [[International Police]], who aims to investigate the villainous [[Team Galactic]].

Meanwhile, {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} set off with Sinnoh Pokémon Association Chairman and Dr. Footstep to find the Legendary and Rare Pokémon of Sinnoh using Charon's stolen notebook on Legendary Pokémon.

===HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter (Volume 41~43)===
{{main|HeartGold & SoulSilver chapter (Adventures)}}

Three years after the events of the Emerald chapter, Team Rocket has been revived once more in an attempt to bring back their long-lost leader, Giovanni. Silver, enraged by this, sets out to stop the team his father once led. Elsewhere, Gold gets into a battle with the mythical Pokémon Arceus.

===Black & White chapter (Volume 43~?)===
{{main|Black & White chapter (Adventures)}}

This chapter follows {{adv|Black}}'s journey across the [[Unova]] region, with the dream of conquering the [[Pokémon League]] and become the [[Pokémon Champion]]. He is joined by {{adv|White}}, who runs the [[BW Agency]] and whose dream is to raise the best Pokémon actor out there.

===Black 2 & White 2 chapter (Volume ?~?)===
{{main|Black 2 & White 2 chapter (Adventures)}}

[[Lack-Two]] is a seemingly normal boy enrolled in the [[Aspertia City]] Trainer's School. However, he is actually a member of the [[International Police]] who aims to find the remaining members of Team Plasma that was defeated two years ago. Unbeknownst to him, the new student, [[Whi-Two]], happens to be a former member of Team Plasma.

===X & Y chapter (Volume ?~?)===
{{main|X & Y chapter (Adventures)}}

{{adv|X}}, a boy who won a Pokémon Tournament as a child, has become depressed due to bad experiences with the paparazzi and the public speaking bad about him. Although his friends {{adv|Y}}, [[Shauna]], [[Tierno]], and [[Trevor]] try to get him back to normal, he refuses to listen to them. Meanwhile, [[Team Flare]] is aiming to capture both X's [[Mega Ring]] and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} to power their ultimate weapon.

==English translations==
Pokémon Adventures has been licensed for English translation by two different companies: [[VIZ Media]], located in {{pmin|the United States}}, and [[Chuang Yi]], located in {{pmin|Singapore}}.

===VIZ Media===
Beginning in September 1999, Pokémon Adventures was translated into English and published in the United States by [[VIZ Media]]. Originally, the series was available as a series of [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly single issues]], a popular format at the time, and the rounds were later released in the more traditional graphic novel format, beginning from {{PAV|1}} in April 2000. Publication ceased in 2003 after the {{chap|Yellow}} concluded with {{PAV|7}}. These translations read from left-to-right with the artwork in reverse from the original version, to conform with the style of North American comics and other Japanese manga published at the time. Other content, such as the route maps at the end of every volume, was omitted as well. Samples from this translation of Pokémon Adventures can be found in the [[The Best of Pokémon Adventures]] volumes, which were both published in 2006.

In June 2009, VIZ Media began re-releasing the series beginning from {{PAV|1}}. Rather than just reissue the previous translations, VIZ Media opted for a "second edition" - these volumes feature a new translation, with the right-to-left artwork and all of the content omitted from the previous translation restored. However, the new translation still follows closely to the original translation, containing some of the same dialogue and all the same titles for the rounds, as well as a lack of nicknames for {{Adv|Red}}'s or {{Adv|Green}}'s Pokémon (although Red's Pokémon receive nicknames in later volumes). In addition, these second editions contain edits not found in the first edition, such as the editing of {{adv|Green}}'s battle with [[Sabrina]] in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'' to remove the scene of Green hiding [[Poké Ball]]s in her top and the [[Pokémon controversy#Racism|recoloring of Jynx]] to match its current color of purple.

Following the second edition of {{PAV|7}}, VIZ Media has begun to release volumes which are new to North America, beginning with {{PAV|8}} in August 2010. While continuing the format of the second editions, there are some edits in the new-to-American audience volumes, like editing a scene of {{Adv|Crystal}}'s mother slapping her in {{PAV|11}} into a glare and editing the scene of [[Norman]] punching {{Adv|Ruby}} into him dropping Ruby due to lightning in {{PAV|17}}. VIZ Media took a break in publication following the release of {{PAV|14}} in August 2011, which concluded the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} (''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'' was moved to the end of Volume 14). They resumed production of the series with {{PAV|15}} in March 2013.

In July 2010, it was announced that the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} would be published concurrently with the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} as a "second series" called '''Pokémon Adventures: Diamond and Pearl/Platinum''', with {{PAV|30}} published as the first volume of the second series. This second series releases one new volume triannually and began publication in February 2011. Continuing this trend, in August 2013 VIZ Media began to release the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as a separately numbered series, '''Pokémon Adventures: HeartGold & SoulSilver''', consisting of {{PAV|41}} and {{PAV|42}} as volumes one and two. Since the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} is numbered separately from the {{chap|Black & White}}, the first four rounds of {{PAV|43}} ([[PS457]]-[[PS460]]) were moved to the end of {{PAV|42}} to keep the rounds organised by chapter.

Beginning in July 2011, VIZ Media began publishing the magazine version of the {{chap|Black & White}}. Since the rounds were not currently collected in volume format in Japan at the time of publication, they were released as [[List of Pokémon Black and White volumes|a series of mini-volumes]], titled '''Pokémon Black and White''' and billed as a "Pokémon Adventures special edition". Starting from July 2013, VIZ Media started releasing the regular volume versions as a series called '''Pokémon Adventures: Black & White''', allowing readers the choice between the magazine version and the volume version.

In March 2013, VIZ launched the {{tt|Perfect Square|Sticky Dot until July 2013}} app for the iPad. It allowed users to buy digital copies of children's manga and American comics. Pokémon Adventures is among those included on the app. So far, only Volumes 1-14 and Diamond and Pearl/Platinum Volumes 1-4 have been made available. These same volumes have also been released on the Kindle and Nook eBook stores as well.

VIZ Media's translations of Pokémon Adventures are available in {{pmin|the United States}}, {{pmin|Canada}}, {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, {{pmin|Ireland}}, {{pmin|Australia}} and South Africa.

===Chuang Yi===
[[Chuang Yi]], a manga company based in {{pmin|Singapore}}, translated Pokémon Adventures into English since {{PAV|1}} in May 2000. The first seven volumes used [[VIZ Media]]'s translation, though after VIZ Media stopped their first edition in 2003 at {{PAV|7}}, Chuang Yi continued to translate the series on their own. As the first seven volumes were based on the flipped edition by VIZ Media, Chuang Yi continued to publish the series in a flipped format, lasting from {{PAV|8}} to {{PAV|40}}. Their final volume, {{PAV|41}}, was published in the original right-to-left reading format. As Chuang Yi is now under {{wp|liquidation|voluntary liquidation}}, the future of Pokémon Adventures and other manga in their region is uncertain.

Chuang Yi's translations of Pokémon Adventures was available in {{pmin|Singapore}}, {{pmin|Malaysia}}, {{pmin|South Asia|India}}, {{pmin|the Philippines}}, {{pmin|Indonesia}} and {{pmin|Thailand}}. They were also available in {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}} through {{wp|Madman Entertainment}}.

==International translations==
Pokémon Adventures has been translated into many languages for publication around the world.

Pokémon Adventures (Traditional Mandarin: '''{{tt|神奇寶貝特別篇|Pokémon Special}}''', Simplified Mandarin: '''{{tt|神奇宝贝特别篇|Pokémon Special}}''', Cantonese: '''{{tt|寵物小精靈特別篇|Pokémon Special}}''') has been translated into {{pmin|Greater China|Chinese}}. Both 神奇寶貝特別篇 and 寵物小精靈特別篇 are translated by 青文出版集團 ''{{wp|Chingwin Publishing Group}}'', while 神奇宝贝特别篇 is translated by 吉林出版集团 ''Jilin Publishing Group''. Due to trademark issues, Jilin has renamed the manga to '''{{tt|精灵宝可梦特别篇|Pokémon Special}}''' ({{tt|Mandarin|Simplified}}) starting from the DP chapter.

Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|France|European French}} by {{wp|Glénat (publisher)|Glénat}} under the title '''{{tt|Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!|Pokémon: The Great Adventure!}}'''. This translated version was based on the original Japanese, however, the artwork was printed in reverse order in a left-to-right reading format for purposes of publication in France. Each volume was initially split into two monthly issues by Glénat, and were later republished in their original volume presentation. Glénat suddenly had to interrupt this edition due to copyright issues, before the release of {{PAV|7}}, the closing volume of the {{chap|Yellow}}. [[Pokémon Black and White volume 1 (France)|Since 2011]], the {{chap|Black & White}} has been translated for France by [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurokawa Kurokawa]. This translation respects the original reading format (right-to-left) and is based directly on the magazine version of Pokémon Adventures. As the title ''Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!'' was still trademarked by Glénat, the {{chap|Black & White}} is published with the title '''{{tt|Pokémon Noir et Blanc|Pokémon Black and White}}'''. In April 2014, it was announced by Kurokawa that they would be rereleasing the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} and the {{chap|Yellow}} in a set of three omnibus volumes, beginning on June 12, 2014 with volume one. This release, while continuing to use the "Pokémon: La Grande Adventure!" name, will feature an entirely new translation more faithful to the original Japanese version and consistent with Kurokawa's release of the {{chap|Black & White}}.

Pokémon Adventures has been translated into {{pmin|Germany|German}} by {{wp|Egmont Manga & Anime}}. However, only the first three volumes were released. In the German version, the names of characters such as {{adv|Professor Oak}} and [[Lt. Surge]] were renamed to their German names from the games and anime. Additionally, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} were renamed to "{{Ash}}" and "{{Gary}}" to match the {{pkmn|anime}}.

The first fifteen rounds of Pokémon Adventures (Greek: '''Pokémon Περιπέτειες''') were translated into {{pmin|Greece|Greek}} by Modern Times. The fifteen chapters were published over [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|five books]], with the [[Mysterious Mew|first book]] titled ''{{tt|Pokémon Περιπέτειες: Ο Καλύτερος Εκπαιδευτής|Pokémon Adventures: The Best Trainer}}''.

Pokémon Adventures ('''{{tt|Pokémon: Le Grandi Storie a Fumetti|Pokémon: The Great Stories in Comics}}''') was translated into {{pmin|Italy|Italian}} by Planet Manga, a subsidiary of Panini Comics. The first ten [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|monthly issues]] were translated into Italian, based on [[VIZ Media]]'s first edition.

Pokémon Adventures ('''포켓몬스터 스페셜''' ''Pokémon Special'') is translated into {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} by 대원씨아이 ''{{wp|Daewon C.I.}}'', which has released up to {{PAV|39}} to date.

In {{pmin|Malaysia}}, Pokémon Adventures is translated as '''{{tt|Pengembaraan Pokémon|Pokémon Adventures}}''' under Chuang Yi's license.

In {{pmin|Poland}}, the {{PAV|1|first volume}}'s worth of chapters was translated into Polish by {{wp|Japonica Polonica Fantastica}} and published in [[List of Pokémon Adventures monthly issues|four monthly issues]]. The Polish version uses the English "Pokémon Adventures" name. Due to the low popularity of the series in Poland, the series was quickly discontinued and the monthly issues were never collected in a bound volume.

Pokémon Adventures was translated into {{pmin|Latin America|Latin American Spanish}} by Toukan Manga. The Latin American translation was based on VIZ Media's English translation.

In {{pmin|Thailand}}, Pokémon Adventures ('''{{tt|โปเกมอนสเปเชียล|Pokémon Special}}''') is translated and published by Nation Edutainment ([http://th.wikipedia.org/wiki/เนชั่น_เอ็ดดูเทนเมนท์ เนชั่น เอ็ดดูเทนเมนท์]).

==Trivia==
*A large amount of the art in Pokémon Adventures is based on the original concept works from the games. For example:
**In the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, Charmander is drawn with spikes on its back.
**Hitmonlee has legs that can stretch like springs in the Yellow chapter.
**Green's character design appears to be based on a [[Ken Sugimori]] illustration of {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Blue}} and an [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|unnamed, unused female Trainer]].
**Brock's Graveler is seen floating like Geodude instead of having feet.
*Throughout the series, almost every protagonist starts out with a Pokémon other than the traditional starter Pokémon that are chosen in the games, except {{adv|Emerald}}, {{adv|White}} and [[Lack-Two]]. However, each protagonist eventually gets one, usually near the start of the chapter.
*In some instances in the translated version, the Fire type is referred to as Flame and the Ground type is referred to as Earth.
*The starters given to characters based on the male protagonists in the games cycle through {{t|Grass}} ({{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Diamond}}), {{t|Fire}} ({{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Black}}), and {{t|Water}} ({{adv|Ruby}} and [[Lack-Two]]).
**This also applies to characters based off the female protagonists in the games, which cycle through Water ({{adv|Green}} and {{adv|Platinum}}), Grass ({{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|White}}), and Fire ({{adv|Sapphire}}).

Can you take a look at this [[User:Reshi643/Template:Type_effectiveness|template]], to see if it's good for the mainspace, when more information for the Fairy type is released? Thanks. — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 19:55, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Game Systems ==
There any many emulators of Nintendo Gaming Systems. Shouldn't Bulbapedia have a small article about that since users play Pokemon Games on their PCs too ? [[User:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] ([[User talk:PikaTepig999|talk]]) 10:14, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
:The use of emulators and ROMs are a copyright violation and are used for illegal gameplay of Pokémon games, something that Bulbapedia or Bulbagarden as a whole, shouldn't be promoting. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 15:15, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
:The only emulator that we could talk about would be the emulator used by the Virtual Console.

Sorry to bother you, but I need to know how to post my favorite song on my namespace to where it don't look confusing. {{unsigned|Pnjfandubs}}
:I'm going to to need a little more information in order for me to try to help. Are trying to post it as a link? In an infobox? However, you've exceeded your userspace editing for the day, so I suggest that you hold off until tomorrow before trying to add more.

== Editing request ==

Can you edit my userspace to where the text about me is in the right place, and that my favorite song shows? My favorite song is [[Pokémon Ondo]]. [[User:Pnjfandubs|PNJスターデオの月山ニ郎]] ([[User talk:Pnjfandubs|talk]]) 03:25, 27 September 2013 (UTC)
Well, actually, you wouldn't have my favorite song here, but it's my favorite as far as Pokémon music. [[User:Pnjfandubs|PNJスターデオの月山ニ郎]] ([[User talk:Pnjfandubs|talk]]) 03:31, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Why is the trivia being taken down? {{unsigned|Rahl}}
:Other editors have given reasons such as "she has all of four Pokemon with confirmed genders, though it's not really necessary to note on this page regardless" and it being "too obvious". '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 23:00, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
Okay then explain about Emolga's trivia being the only confirmed female in Iris's team. {{unsigned|Rahl}}
:It'd be best to ask the users who reverted you, since they were the ones who removed the trivia in question. Or, read the history of the page where all the edit summaries are listed. Also, please remember to sign with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 00:25, 30 September 2013 (UTC)

== New unimportantly Pokémon-related page I added ==

I'm surprised y'all haven't deleted and warned me about {{redlink|Pokémon Dubstep}}. {{unsigned|Pnjfandubs}}
:It's one thing to create a bad article while trying to contribute the site, but it's another to knowingly create a bad article and taunt the administration about it.

'''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 01:08, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
"and taunt the administration about it": I didn't know that was taunting. Also, I didn't exactly know how to write it well.

== That Talk Page HP Bar ==

So, I've seen this on alot of user talk pages around here, and I have not been able to figure it out. Perhaps you can explain to me how that bar works and how to implement one of my own? Because I am ''really'' curious about that. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 00:27, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
:It's basically a template that's built to decrease as your talk page fills up (though there are versions where you can manually update the number as well). The best example I can show you is [[User:Werdnae/Archive|here]]. Kinda hard to explain exactly how it works, but that's an example of the coding for it, I'm sure you could probably manipulate it to personalize it to your liking. I hope this helps, I'm not the best with explaining templates and such. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 00:38, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

== Espurr ==

I thought I was undoing Pokemon nomekop's edit, but it seemed I wasn't and I didn't notice that...and then I tried to just use a previous version of the page and it got an error... So I'll leave that to others now. =( Sorry. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:47, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

::I actually see what happened. Your edit had the same timestamp, but even though (by its ID) it occurred later, it was listed below Pokemon nomekop's, so I thought his was most recent and tried to undo it and...actually, I don't really know how that ended up restoring his edit then, but yeah... Still, I didn't actually check the page, I was just looking at contribs/history. Oops. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:55, 28 November 2013 (UTC)

:The number to become autoconfirmed is unspecified in order to prevent people from abusing the system and editing just enough to create a userpage.

== Question on Name Origin Policies and Disputes ==

A Name Origin dispute has occurred on the {{p|Aggron}} page between myself and Relicant. Boss is already listed as one of the possible derivatives of the name Bossgodora. I put that the god in Bossgodora could derive from ''"Godfather"'' which beyond meaning a crime boss also has less ''"Tony, the don says take him for a ride and give him a pair cement shoes"'' meanings. However, Relicant repeatedly undid the edit, saying he did not see it and did not further deliberate on it.

Anyways, what is the best course of action in this dispute? I tried looking for the policies page but I am not the most tech-savy and couldn't navigate the site to find it. Even if i did, I am afraid I am also not the best when it comes to reading what I suspect would be a confusing wall of text. I am vaguely sure if I were to undo their edit again it would violate a policy (not sure, I just vaguely have memory of a three-edit limit on something) Well, I'm off to warm up my new 2DS before charging it (again, not a tech-savey person but I am pretty sure it being freezing cold from the UPS truck, its not a good idea to plug it in right away) -cheers! [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:37, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
:The best and most immediate action would be to bring up the dispute on the talk page and discuss your reasoning for including it, so others can have a chance to comment their opinions on it as well, then see how that goes before deciding whether or not to add it to the page again. It'd be wise not to add it back anymore for now as an additional revision would be getting into edit war territory. There's no real policy specifically for Name Origin sections (If I'm recalling correctly), we just try to use our best judgement in that area. I hope this helps and let me know if you're having any more issues with this. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 19:45, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

==Archive?==
Just a quick question. What does archive mean? I kinda don't really know what that means. Can you explain that to me of what mean. Also, I apologize for removing that comments on my talk page, I forgot that It was one of the rules of not to do that on my talk page, It was my mistake.

I want to upload a new version of [[a:File:Missingno_glitch_walking_players.png]], but I don't quite know how.

:Firstly, all image uploads are handled on the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Main_Page Bulbagarden Archives]. You can become autoconfirmed by editing pages and helping out with small tasks on both the Archives and Bulbapedia (though they're separate, so being autoconfirmed on one doesn't necessarily equal being autoconfirmed on the other. Another factor is how new to the site you are. Since it looks like you only just registered, you're going to have to spend a little more time editing first before you can become autoconfirmed.

It's nothing personal against anyone, but we are ''not'' Facebook or Myspace, we are Pokémon fans building a reference point about our hobby, interest and (in some extreme cases) obsession.

== I'm beggining to see a pattern . . . ==

Despite the Welcome template making it obvious to keep Userspace edits to a minimum I have a feeling it hasn't been obvious enough. It hasn't been too accesive recently but I have noticed that new users despite the info in the Welcome template users still seem to overlook it. For example when I was new I could hardly understand what to think of the userspace policy for a while. ({{tt|If you see my recent edits you'll see I have certainly changed that|"Now time to edit the mainspace" or "OK, WAY TOO MANY USERSPACE EDITS!!!! TO THE MAINSPACE!!!"

What I mean by the latter is that we tell them that their goal shouldn't be to edit their userpage and that it should be to help Bulbapedia.

== Can you help me with this stuff? ==
I'm curious as to what I can put on my page. Am I allowed to put links to other pages, outside of Bulbapedia? Like a blog or something. Also, is there a rule for what might be seen as offensive language? Finally, I'd like to know where people find those things that say "This user does something-or-other." I'm sorry if these requests seem stupid, but I am pretty new here...
Thank you in advance!

:[[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy#Content|This pretty much sums it up]]. You're allowed to put links to pages outside Bulbapedia, as long as they're appropriate.

== Talk pages and the sandbox ==
It should mention somewhere that your User talk page and the Bulbapedia sandbox cannot be used by non-autoconfirmed users as a supplement to creating a userpage. I've seen new users write "about me" and try to add usertags to their own talkpage, which shouldn't be allowed as it avoids the userspace block for new users. Same deal with the sandbox. [[User:Takharii|'''たか''']][[User talk:Takharii|'''はり''']][[Special:Contributions/Takharii|'''い''']] 07:20, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
:The user talk part is already mentioned (second bullet point in the ''Circumventing the userspace policy'' section), as well as on trom's [[User:The dark lord trombonator/Talk page policy|draft update]] for the talk page policy. The sandbox. . . maybe?. I added personal content to the note at the top of that when I cleared that all off it the other day, so it ''should'' be clear now.Good suggestions though. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 08:09, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

== "Contract" ==

I don't know who came up with that, but calling the policy a "contract" sounds contrived, trite, and pretentious. It's a policy on a wiki<nowiki>:</nowiki> nothing more, nothing less. Calling it a "contract" that you enter into by creating a Bulbapedia account or whatever just makes the staff sound like assholes. Anyone mind if I change that? --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 17:41, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
:Poli, I can see where you are coming from, the way I see it though (feel free to disregard, as I am not staff or anything), it kind of is a contract. One is agreeing to abide by the rules in return for getting the privilege to edit in the userspace on the 'pedia. After all, it is a privilege that is earned, and one that is not a right (after all, it is something that can, and frequently is, taken away by the staff when it is abused). It is not signed or legally binding or anything, but there are consequences that follow if you do not play by the rules. I do not think that it makes the staff sound like a-holes at all (but again, that is just an opinion, take it for what it is worth). Just my two cents. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 17:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

::Yes, I understand that... However, calling it a "contract" comes across as unfriendly and overly formal. It's a rule. If you break it, you can lose your privileges. I mean, that's like saying the law prohibiting homicide is a "contract."

==Question==

There are some templates I would like to create in the Userspace, but I can't create my Userpage. Does that prevent the ability to create the templates? [[Mothim (Pokémon)|Mothim]] [[User:Wildgoose|will]] [[User talk:Wildgoose|rule]] [[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|all!]] 14:22, 24 December 2011 (UTC) December 24 2011 9:22 a.m. ET
:Well, you can still make templates just not in the userspace. You can create templates and test other things in the [[Bulbapedia:Sandbox|Sandbox]]. This page is used for testing templates and other things. Feel free to use that for your template making. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:10, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
::Just a note about that though.

==Spoofing==

==Page creation==

I can't create my userpage, but there is a page I want to create that is disputable for being in the mainspace, actualy I think it would go better in the bulbapedia namespace. Does not being able to create a userpage mean I can't create mainspaceable userspace? [[User:Wildgoose|Wild]][[User talk:Wildgoose|goose]]-[[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|The friendly goose in town!]] 00:58, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
:That's correct. The software is unable to distinguish between the two. It blocks everything in the userspace. Also, I notice that you should be able to edit your userpage. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:32, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

==Riddles==

Why aren't riddles allowed? The above [[Special:Contributions/Wildgoose|comment]] is [[User talk: Wildgoose|supported]] by [[User:Wildgoose|Wildgoose]]. 18:28, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
:Because riddles generate a lot of discussion on the corresponding talk page which is unrelated to Bulbapedia. And that discussion was a major contributor to the complete lockdown of the userspace and subsequent implementation of the userspace policy.

== How does this work? ==

I've seen many mainspace pages that were first created under the name "User:Someone/Article's name" and later moved. So,
* any user can create a page to work on before it is moved?
* to move it is up to a staff member or can the user decide when the article is ready?
* the articles must be intended for the mainspace or can they be Pokémon-related informative pages that don't exactly fit with Bulbapedia? (for example, if the user wanted a BP page to look different, with other templates, can they be tested in the userspace?)
* what's a sandbox?
Thank you. [[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 19:51, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
:One more thing, how do I create a page in my userspace? Is it like with mainspace pages, just to type the invalid address and create it? Thank you. [[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 19:53, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
::In the order that they were asked:
::# Yes, but we'd prefer notable pages get made in the mainspace anyway. In particular, making a near-empty future mainspace page in the userspace just so that you can say you've started it is extremely frowned upon (yes, that does happen).
::# It should be staff members deciding, because the only pages there should be ones of dubious notability (see above point).
::# You can create pages that "don't fit with Bulbapedia" in your userspace. That said, if they don't fit in the mainspace, they're not going to be mainspaced, and they fall under the three-edits-per-day (Which, BTW, is a total for all userspace pages. It's not three edits per page per day). New templates for mainspace pages are most certainly allowed, and may be excluded from the edit limit at staff discression. They are also given extra leeway with regards to the preview button, as they are difficult to preview. That said, don't go crazy with it. We're pretty lenient for prototyping/testing improvements to the mainspace, but don't abuse it.
::# A sandbox is a page or group of mages made for testing code. I use my sandbox to separate my prototype templates from my personal pages - the templates are in my sandbox, because I'm testing them.
::# Pages in the userspace can be created in exactly the same way as a page in any other namespace.

==A problem with the policy==
I've read the policy, and I agree with you making this in order for bulbapedia to grow faster. At the beggining, it looked all ok, but then I noticed a slight problem with the policy that may lead to a slow growth of this wiki, exactly the opposite of our objective. Well, the problem is: at the second point you say that the daily edits to the mainspace must always be more than the userspace ones. It looks ok, but if you analyse it well, you'll notice that this way users that want to make a massive amount of edits to their userspace throughout some days may instead of making a massive amount of edits to the mainspace in one day (therefore making the wiki better in no time), just make a short amount of edits to the mainspace a day, in order to save some of them for the next days, so that they don't violate the second point if they run out of ideas for the mainspace. The mainspace edits will be the same, but they will take longer to appear. [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 12:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
:Hence the word "daily". Your edits in the mainspace must be more than your userspace per day.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:01, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
What do you mean? I said that due to that, some people may save their mainspace edits, in order to have plenty of them to use just when they edit their userspace, therefore making the progress slow. Or are you saying that it's not "During a day, there must be always more mainspace edits than userspace ones", as I tought, and that in fact it is "The number of userspace edits in a day cannot ever surpass the total number of edits"? If it's not that, then I don't understand what you've just said, and the problem didn't disappear. [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 16:33, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
:The point is, people in general tend to edit the mainspace for a little bit and then just stop and edit nothing but their userpage. We need people to maintain their mainspace edits even while they are 'focusing' on their userspace. It is daily, and if people are saving up their mainspace edits until they want to edit the userspace, then frankly that's a terrible attitude. That said, we're usually pretty lenient. If you make a hundred mainspace edits one day we're likely to just let it slide if you don't make any but keep editing your userspace for a short time. The rule needs to be strict for the people who think Bulbapedia is Facebook and do the bare minimum in the mainspace. For people that are regular contributors to the mainspace we're a lot more lenient.

:Long story short, if you, on average, edit the mainspace a lot and the userspace infrequently then as long as you stick to the limit you don't really need to worry. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:59, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

==A doubt about the exceptions==
Do the usertags count as an exception? I mean, can I over edit a usertag in my userspace, and still not break the rule because it is intended for the mainspace? [[User:TheOriginalOne|'''The''']][[User talk:TheOriginalOne|'''Original''']][[Special:Contributions/TheOriginalOne|'''One''']] 16:54, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
:Since the content from it ends up in the userspace anyway, generally they're not an exception, although we're likely to be a bit more lenient towards them. Unfortunately it has to be this way because otherwise people try to abuse it to get around the policy. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 02:08, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

== Draft articles ==

Why would you need to go to the Editorial Board and ask permission before editing a draft article? I would think that it would just be common sense that that wouldn't count towards userspace edits. [[User:Emmette Hernandez Coleman|Emmette Hernandez Coleman]] ([[User talk:Emmette Hernandez Coleman|talk]]) 05:34, 17 August 2013 (UTC)
:It's basically to check that it is actually considered a potential mainspace article and not a personal page. Technically, Editorial Board members have to decide that a page can be exempt from the limit. In practice, it's rare for people to actually ask and we don't hold that against them if it's valid. But if they don't and we think the subject is definitely not important enough for a page, we will treat it as a personal page and enforce the edit limit. If it's obviously notable and you're not sure if we have enough info, go ahead (though please don't make a page with just a name and a picture, that's a waste of time). If it's obviously notable and there's a lot of info, then generally it's better to make it in the mainspace. If you're not sure, then it's best to ask a staff member and keep it under the limit until you get an answer, just to be on the safe side. We'll also assume good faith unless it becomes a habit, or our decision gets ignored, so for most users it'll never be an issue anyway. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:00, 17 August 2013 (UTC)

== Does user talk page count ==

If I made a talk page and saved it, does user talk page count along with user page and user sub pages? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ([[User talk:Cinday123|talk]]) 04:05, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
:If you're editing your talk page to add something like a user template, then that should probably be treated as a userpage edit. However, if you're editing a user talk page to ask a bulbapedia related question, it's fine. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 04:09, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

== "Editorial board" ==

Ten question marks

'''??????????''', also known as '''ten question marks''' or its fan-given nickname, '''Decamark(s)''', is a [[glitch Pokémon]] that occupies slot 0000, and all slots above 019D in {{5v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It was programmed into the game to prevent game crashes and is technically not a glitch Pokémon because its information was defined by the programmers. However, ?????????? can also occupy other values of the 65536 slots available as well as cause glitchy behavior in games, some specific versions may even [[game freeze|freeze]] the game, such as hex DEFD.

??????????'s sprite usually appears as three concentric circles alternating between white and black around a question mark in the center. Whereas index number 0000 and other ?????????? usually use {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s [[footprint]], there are a few which use other Pokémon's footprints.

?????????? hex 0000 form cannot be obtained, as it disappears from a [[party]] when caught.

==Obtaining ??????????==
[[File:Firered-MissingNo.png|thumb|left|?????????? in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
This glitch data is most commonly encountered in-game by using a [[GameShark]] or [[Action Replay]] code for a Pokémon that doesn't exist. However, there are several other methods for encountering ??????????.

===Level-up method===
A GameShark code can be used to quickly [[level-up]] a Pokémon in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s [[Pokémon Day Care]]. If any Pokémon is placed into the day care before the code is activated, after a short while of walking around, the Pokémon in the daycare will produce an Egg all by itself. The Egg will soon hatch into a Level 0 ??????????, which is almost impossible to level up without using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}, as 1,000,000 EXP points are required to reach level 1.

If ?????????? is traded to {{game|Emerald}}, it can be left in the day care and will instantly grow to level 100. At this point, it can learn any of the eight [[HM]] moves and will be safe for the game unless its summary is looked at. If given Rare Candies, it will start rapidly learning {{m|Ice Punch}}, even if the player refuses to teach it. This can be fixed by activating the "access fly map" GameShark code. ??????????'s National Pokédex number can vary, ranging from 0 to over 386, depending on its hexadecimal identifier. If the hexadecimal identifier number is over 1000, then a ? mark replaces the hundreds column, e.g. ?24

[[File:Ten Question Marks III.png|208px|left|thumb|Battling ??????????]]
[[File:Emerald 10 Question marks.png|208px|right|thumb|The summary that freezes the game, viewed in {{game|Emerald}}]]
[[Image:FireRed-MissingNo-Summary.png|208px|right|thumb|The summary that doesn't freeze the game, viewed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, note the backwards question mark.]]

===Pre-starter method===
Another method for obtaining ?????????? is to use an Action Replay code to teleport or walk through walls to an area where a wild Pokémon can be captured before getting a [[starter Pokémon]] from either [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. If a wild Pokémon battle is initiated, the player will send out a ?????????? with 0/0 HP and with a hexadecimal identifier of 0. If the Pokémon gets hit, the player will white out and be sent to a [[Pokémon Center]] where 65536 [[Poké Ball]]s will begin to appear in seemingly random locations all over the screen (this is because the game will refer to the number 0 as one more than a full two bytes (65535)). A very similar effect occurs when one performs a variation of the [[Pomeg glitch]]; when the Pokémon's HP goes below 0 it will skip to the largest value. This system uses two bytes, so the Pokémon's HP will start to drop down from 65535.
[[File:Ani900MS.png|frame|left]]
After this Pokémon is captured, if one chooses to nickname ?????????? or looks at it in the party screen, its sprite may appear as a gold-colored {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This is due to using icon palette 0 in place of an undefined palette. Another way to see this glitch is to use the "walk through walls" code, go to the Link Cable area, and battle. Since there is no connected opponent, this glitch appears instead (as value 000).

===Pre-National Pokédex method===
A third way to obtain ?????????? is to use a GameShark or Action Replay to catch a [[Hoenn]] or [[Johto]] Pokémon in its original area ''before'' obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] as the game would search for a Pokémon using the Regional Pokédex number rather than the National Pokédex number; for example, if the player was to normally encounter a {{p|Yanma}}, instead the game would search for a Pokémon with a Regional Pokédex value of 193, possibly resulting in an encounter of another variety of this glitch with a different moveset and Ability or a {{p|Regirock}} in {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.





==Item==
[[File:FireRed 10 Question marks.png|thumb|A ???????? in the Bag in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}]]
?????????? may [[Held item|hold]] an [[item]]. The item will be called ???????? (eight marks), with a description in the [[Bag]] of ????? (five marks). The item can only make a Pokémon that is holding it become glitched if migrated to {{game|Diamond}} or {{v2|Pearl}}. If the player tries to use it, [[Professor Oak]] will say that "the time isn't right" to use it. With the help of a [[GameShark]], it can be bought at a [[Poké Mart]] for {{PDollar}}0 but cannot be sold, as the [[Poké Mart]] cashier will say, "Oh, no. I can't buy that."

===Learnset===
[[File:- summary.png|thumb|right|?????????? with no moves.]]
??????????'s learnset varies by game and by hexedecimal identifier. Due to the existance of several thousand different species between games, the full information cannot be listed here.

One thing to note, however, is that some ?????????? have no moves. When this happens, attempting to attack with it will result in using [[struggle]]. However, viewing the Pokémon's moves page will show a large amount of glitch text, in a way that could be considered similar to glitch moves such as [[Super_Glitch_(move)|Super Glitch]]. This text is not known to cause any side effects.





{{-}}

==Evolution==
{{GlitchEvobox
|sprite1=Spr 3r 000
|name1=Ten question marks
|displayname1=??????????
|type1-1=Normal
|glitch=yes}}

==Trivia==
* Many variations of ?????????? are named after moves or fragments of a move's name (truncated to the game maximum of ten characters) (e.g. {{m|Pound|POUND}}, {{m|Thunderbolt|RBOLT}}, {{m|Wing Attack|ING ATTACK}}, {{m|Quick Attack|ICK ATTACK}}, and so on.) This is due to the hexadecimal identifier of the variation calling for a name from text just past where Pokémon names are stored, which is where move names are stored.
:* One can only view these names when nicknaming the Pokémon or in the PC. 
:* It is important to note that for higher numbers, the names stop being valid {{wp|String_(computer_science)|strings}}. Trying to nickname that Pokémon will result in the game crashing with glitch noises, or sometimes just freezing. 
* In the Generation I and II games, hexadecimal slots went from 00 to FF, totaling to exactly 256 Pokémon slots available. However, the hexes in Generation III games range from 0000 to FFFF, allowing 65536 Pokémon to be defined. However, only 439 (counting {{pkmn|Egg}}, {{p|Unown}} forms, {{p|Deoxys}} formes, and 25 {{gp|?}}) were defined, filling the remaining 65,097 slots with ?????????? variants, or "decamarks", as they are commonly referred to.
* ?????????? (000)'s learnset is identical to {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation III learnset|Generation III learnset]], albeit with different levels. Strangely, ?????????? can learn Ice Punch via tutor.
:* Other ?????????? have different learnsets.
* A project (dubbed "Melchior") exists on [[Glitch City Laboratories]] concerning the research of the 65,097 variations of ?????????? (decamarks), although this is not expected to be completed in the near future.

:Well I was gonna say "BULBASPACE IT NOW" but TTE got in the way.... I see nothing wrong. What do you mean "specifics"? — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:00, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
::Specific things of what not to do. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:12, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't think so. It does say it doesn't cover edit wars, but maybe it should? I know it says it isn't against the code of conduct, but technically it is because it's about ignoring what someone else is saying, and just following your own opinion. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:15, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
::::My take on edit wars is that it's how you behave during the edit war that matters, not whether or not it takes place. If people play nice we shouldn't have too many wars, but the actual editing-reverting-re-editing process, and the potential consequences, are already covered elsewhere. Thus, I felt no need to re-hash punishments for that, instead seeking to make that process more pleasant. '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' 06:20, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Sure thing. What about using edit summaries to explain what and why changes are being made? This is not in the MoS either, and inclusion here could get rid of those annoyingly angry "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!1!eleven!!1" messages. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 08:45, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
::::::Do you just mean enforcing the use of edit summary box? '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' 17:16, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
I like this very much, I do have a few suggestions of which i hope a few get put into practice [[User:Super Max|'''Super''']][[Special:Contributions/Super Max|'''-''']][[User talk:Super Max|'''Max''']] 14:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

==Banned Words==
Im talking about this on the forum, what about a list of offensive words that arent constructive, and if you use one you get a 2 day block. Obviously all swear words should be banned, but im also talking about words like "idiot and douche".

As a community we need constructive critisim to improve not only the project but improve ourselves, and words like those offer nothing constructive just an insult. [[User:Super Max|'''Super''']][[Special:Contributions/Super Max|'''-''']][[User talk:Super Max|'''Max''']] 14:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
:I agree, Seeing the word idiot to abuse [[User:Kuki|someone]] just makes me feel like this is Bullypedia rather than Bulbapedia, [[User:DCM|users]] should pick up their act and use nicer words instead of BIG CAPS LOCKED ABUSEIVE RUDE WORDS. This is the internet, Be nice.
:But yet again people say Crap or Damn which isn't really rude words, often used when [[Special:ListUsers/sysop|someone]] is frustrated.--[[Charizard (Pokémon)|Force]] [[User:Force Fire|''Fire'']] [[User talk:Force Fire|''talk'']] 14:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
::I mean, I don't think I need to make a specific list of banned words--the forum doesn't have such a list. I'm willing to leave it up to administrator discretion regarding the intent of the word and the consequences that come out from it. At the same time, anything George Carlin couldn't say on TV is probably not okay here...I don't think that's the domain of the code of conduct per se, though. '''[[User:evkl|evkl]]''' 15:39, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

==Friend lists and dislike lists==
Saying you dislike someone isnt constructive earlier, things like these can lead to bullying and to users either feeling left out of being in someones friend list, or upset that people are openly voicing a dislike for them, it can really emotionally damage some people, and lets face it FRIEND LISTS SERVE LESS PURPOUS THAN ALREADY BANNED THINGS LIKE FANFICTION. So they should be removed to. [[User:Super Max|'''Super''']][[Special:Contributions/Super Max|'''-''']][[User talk:Super Max|'''Max''']] 14:36, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

:Yeah, But lets face it, people here are a [[User:Tavisource|bit kiddy]] but it just takes them time to grow up, I don't have a friends list myself but it could let some users be accepted in the community. What I don't like is [[User:DCM|users]] [[User:Optimatum|who]] abuse people for what they did in the past, and the main thing that was letting them abuse people was the whole friendly thing, So we should actually ban that, BUT, let users know that everyone is a friend to anyone anytime.--[[Charizard (Pokémon)|Force]] [[User:Force Fire|''Fire'']] [[User talk:Force Fire|''talk'']] 14:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

I quite agree, I got rid of my rap, (well I said I didnt want it back when i was offered) and im glad to see you got rid of your lists DCM.

:Yeah.... After the things you said, you can't snap your fingers and make it go away like that. You accused DCM of having inappropriate relations with his parents. That's VASTLY different from saying that you don't like a certain person.

== Comma error ==

In the third paragraph of section 2.3 ("How to write nicely"), there is a misplaced comma which makes the sentence hard to understand.
It is this sentence: "If it's an administrator, causing the problem or you don't feel comfortable talking to any of the admins, ...". The comma should be moved from after "administrator" to after "problem". --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 17:03, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Ten question marks

2014-05-03T16:45:50Z

'''??????????''', also known as '''ten question marks''' or its fan-given nickname, '''Decamark(s)''', is a [[glitch Pokémon]] that occupies slot 0000, and all slots above 019D in {{5v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It was programmed into the game to prevent game crashes and is technically not a glitch Pokémon because its information was defined by the programmers. However, ?????????? can also occupy other values of the 65536 slots available as well as cause glitchy behavior in games, some specific versions may even [[game freeze|freeze]] the game, such as hex DEFD.

??????????'s sprite usually appears as three concentric circles alternating between white and black around a question mark in the center. Whereas index number 0000 and other ?????????? usually use {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s [[footprint]], there are a few which use other Pokémon's footprints.

?????????? hex 0000 form cannot be obtained, as it disappears from a [[party]] when caught.

==Obtaining ??????????==
[[File:Firered-MissingNo.png|thumb|left|?????????? in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
This glitch data is most commonly encountered in-game by using a [[GameShark]] or [[Action Replay]] code for a Pokémon that doesn't exist. However, there are several other methods for encountering ??????????.

===Level-up method===
A GameShark code can be used to quickly [[level-up]] a Pokémon in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s [[Pokémon Day Care]]. If any Pokémon is placed into the day care before the code is activated, after a short while of walking around, the Pokémon in the daycare will produce an Egg all by itself. The Egg will soon hatch into a Level 0 ??????????, which is almost impossible to level up without using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}, as 1,000,000 EXP points are required to reach level 1.

If ?????????? is traded to {{game|Emerald}}, it can be left in the day care and will instantly grow to level 100. At this point, it can learn any of the eight [[HM]] moves and will be safe for the game unless its summary is looked at. If given Rare Candies, it will start rapidly learning {{m|Ice Punch}}, even if the player refuses to teach it. This can be fixed by activating the "access fly map" GameShark code. ??????????'s National Pokédex number can vary, ranging from 0 to over 386, depending on its hexadecimal identifier. If the hexadecimal identifier number is over 1000, then a ? mark replaces the hundreds column, e.g. ?24

[[File:Ten Question Marks III.png|208px|left|thumb|Battling ??????????]]
[[File:Emerald 10 Question marks.png|208px|right|thumb|The summary that freezes the game, viewed in {{game|Emerald}}]]
[[Image:FireRed-MissingNo-Summary.png|208px|right|thumb|The summary that doesn't freeze the game, viewed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, note the backwards question mark.]]

===Pre-starter method===
Another method for obtaining ?????????? is to use an Action Replay code to teleport or walk through walls to an area where a wild Pokémon can be captured before getting a [[starter Pokémon]] from either [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or [[Professor Oak]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. If a wild Pokémon battle is initiated, the player will send out a ?????????? with 0/0 HP and with a hexadecimal identifier of 0. If the Pokémon gets hit, the player will white out and be sent to a [[Pokémon Center]] where 65536 [[Poké Ball]]s will begin to appear in seemingly random locations all over the screen (this is because the game will refer to the number 0 as one more than a full two bytes (65535)). A very similar effect occurs when one performs a variation of the [[Pomeg glitch]]; when the Pokémon's HP goes below 0 it will skip to the largest value. This system uses two bytes, so the Pokémon's HP will start to drop down from 65535.
[[File:Ani900MS.png|frame|left]]
After this Pokémon is captured, if one chooses to nickname ?????????? or looks at it in the party screen, its sprite may appear as a gold-colored {{p|Bulbasaur}}. This is due to using icon palette 0 in place of an undefined palette. Another way to see this glitch is to use the "walk through walls" code, go to the Link Cable area, and battle. Since there is no connected opponent, this glitch appears instead (as value 000).

===Pre-National Pokédex method===
A third way to obtain ?????????? is to use a GameShark or Action Replay to catch a [[Hoenn]] or [[Johto]] Pokémon in its original area ''before'' obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] as the game would search for a Pokémon using the Regional Pokédex number rather than the National Pokédex number; for example, if the player was to normally encounter a {{p|Yanma}}, instead the game would search for a Pokémon with a Regional Pokédex value of 193, possibly resulting in an encounter of another variety of this glitch with a different moveset and Ability or a {{p|Regirock}} in {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.





==Item==
[[File:FireRed 10 Question marks.png|thumb|A ???????? in the Bag in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}]]
?????????? may [[Held item|hold]] an [[item]]. The item will be called ???????? (eight marks), with a description in the [[Bag]] of ????? (five marks). The item can only make a Pokémon that is holding it become glitched if migrated to {{game|Diamond}} or {{v2|Pearl}}. If the player tries to use it, [[Professor Oak]] will say that "the time isn't right" to use it. With the help of a [[GameShark]], it can be bought at a [[Poké Mart]] for {{PDollar}}0 but cannot be sold, as the [[Poké Mart]] cashier will say, "Oh, no. I can't buy that."

===Learnset===
[[File:- summary.png|thumb|right|?????????? with no moves.]]
??????????'s learnset varies by game and by hexedecimal identifier. Due to the existance of several thousand different species between games, the full information cannot be listed here.

One thing to note, however, is that some ?????????? have no moves. When this happens, attempting to attack with it will result in using [[struggle]]. However, viewing the Pokémon's moves page will show a large amount of glitch text, in a way that could be considered similar to glitch moves such as [[Super_Glitch_(move)|Super Glitch]]. This text is not known to cause any side effects.

{{GlitchEvobox

==Trivia==
* There are many other variations of this Pokémon in the Generation III games. Their images are the same as ??????????'s, but the individual sprites can be backwards, differently colored, upside down, or any of several other minor differences in appearance.
* Many variations of ?????????? are named after moves or fragments of a move's name (truncated to the game maximum of ten characters) (e.g. {{m|Pound|POUND}}, {{m|Thunderbolt|RBOLT}}, {{m|Wing Attack|ING ATTACK}}, {{m|Quick Attack|ICK ATTACK}}, and so on.) This is due to the hexadecimal identifier of the variation calling for a name from text just past where Pokémon names are stored, which is where move names are stored.
* In the Generation I and II games, hexadecimal slots went from 00 to FF, totaling to exactly 256 Pokémon slots available. However, the hexes in Generation III games range from 0000 to FFFF, allowing 65536 Pokémon to be defined. However, only 439 (counting {{pkmn|Egg}}, {{p|Unown}} forms, {{p|Deoxys}} formes, and 25 {{gp|?}}) were defined, filling the remaining 65,097 slots with ?????????? variants, or "decamarks", as they are commonly referred to.
* ?????????? (000)'s learnset is identical to {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s [[Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation III learnset|Generation III learnset]], albeit with different levels. Strangely, ?????????? can learn Ice Punch via tutor.
* It has been stated that there are also similar glitch Pokémon called "???????????" (eleven marks) and "????????????" (twelve marks), though there is no evidence to support this.
* There may be similar glitch Pokémon in the Generation IV games, but no investigation into this matter has been reported.
* A project (dubbed "Melchior") exists on [[Glitch City Laboratories]] concerning the research of the 65,097 variations of ?????????? (decamarks), although this is not a serious project of the site and is not expected to be completed in the near future.
* If the player catches a variant of ?????????? and attempts to rename it, the renaming screen may show ??????????'s sprite as being a {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s sprite, but with a gold palette.

'''Missingno.''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and a dual-type {{t|Normal}}/randomly named glitch type (which often has '9' in it) [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}. It is arguably the best known glitch Pokémon, closely followed by [['M (00)]] and it is the easiest glitch Pokémon to find in the localizations. It has five distinct forms, but two of them (the Red/Blue and Yellow normal forms) share 36 index numbers each.

In later generations, other glitch Pokémon are sometimes referred to as "a Missingno.", such as {{?|10}}, {{gp|?}}, and [[-----]]. Despite this, the name "Missingno." is a misnomer in this case; they have little relation to the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} or {{v2|Yellow}}.

Missingno.'s [[cry]] is generally the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a {{p|Nidoran♂}} (base 00)'s cry with a pitch of 0 and no echo. This is because the cries of these Pokémon are undefined in the data structure. A few Missingno. have different cries (specifically <tt>0x43</tt>, <tt>0x45</tt>, <tt>0x4F</tt>, <tt>0x51</tt>, <tt>0x5E</tt>, <tt>0x5F</tt>, <tt>0x7F</tt>, and <tt>0xB5</tt>) and due to these cries being valid and not garbage data (unrelated data read in the wrong way, as is the case with most of Missingno.'s properties), this is one of the things that support the view that Missingno. may have originally been deleted Pokémon (see [[:#Missingno. as deleted Pokémon theory and unique cries|this section]]).

The Pokédex entries of Missingno. and all glitch Pokémon with a Pokédex number of 0 will only appear upon capture if the player has not encountered {{p|Cubone}}, but as with all glitch Pokédex entries, they normally remain inaccessible through the actual Pokédex. An exception to this is in {{2v2|Red|Green}}, where Missingno. can be "registered"; in the Pokédex if the player enables the 'seen' flag for #152 through select button glitches and memory corruption. If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, {{p|Rhydon}}'s cry will be heard, followed by Missingno.'s entry, which is blank, but the game will play a series of glitchy sounds.

All Missingno. cannot evolve or learn any level up moves.

==Forms==
==={{v2|Red and Blue|s}} normal form===
[[File:Missingno RB.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s Red and Blue normal form is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} glitch Pokémon. It has a sprite that is a strange block of glitched pixels in a backward-L shape. Due to the larger number of characters that can be used to make it appear, it is the most common form. Normal form is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name is the end-name marker, G, H, J, M, S, T, :, ], a, b, c, m, o, p, or v.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 50, 52, 56, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, 79, 80, 81, 86, 87, 94, 95, 115, 121, 122, 127, 134, 135, 137, 140, 146, 156, 159, 160, 161, 162, 172, 174, 175 or 181.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Magcargo}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Piloswine}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Octillery}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Miltank}}, {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, or {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==={{v2|Yellow}} normal form===
[[File:Missingno Y.png|frame|right]]
Missingno.'s {{v2|Yellow}} normal form is a dual-type {{t|Normal}} and randomly named glitch type (often containing '9') glitch Pokémon. This form uses the palette of {{p|Pikachu}}, and so appears as yellow and red glitched boxes. They also cause glitches that Missingno. in Red and Blue do not. If caught, they will cause graphical glitches, possibly rendering the player invisible and making duplicates of the player, and all other on-screen characters walk in random locations on the screen after battle. These forms do not appear through the [[old man glitch]], as it was removed in Yellow. It is likely that the game will freeze or get stuck when attempting to battle Yellow Missingno.'s normal form due to an invalid sprite pointer; <tt>0x0600</tt>. This is also what causes the walking characters effect.

* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 56, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, 86, 87, 94, 95, 115, 121, 122, 127, 134, 135, 137, 140, 146, 156, 159, 160, 161, 162, 172, 174, 175 or 181.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Magcargo}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Piloswine}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Octillery}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Miltank}}, {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, or {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Encountering this Missingno. form is '''not''' safe, as it usually causes the game to freeze or get stuck.

===Fossil and ghost Missingno.===
The [[Fossil]] and ghost Missingno. (otherwise known as 'special Missingno.') are three unique forms of Missingno. that share their sprites with the {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil and {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil from the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], as well as the [[Ghost (literal)|ghosts from the Pokémon Tower]]. This is because the game actually uses their index numbers to get their sprite data in the museum (but if this is true with the ghost sprite is unconfirmed). These Pokémon have no constant [[base stats]], [[List of Pokémon by experience type|experience types]] or starting [[move]]s; instead they take this data from the last Pokémon in the party other than another special Missingno. If an enemy [[Trainer]] sends out a special Missingno. the aforementioned data is taken from the previous Pokémon they sent out (the user's Pokémon in battle does not count here).

The Fossil and ghost Missingno. exist in Yellow and have the same sprites as in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. They also work the same way. Since the sprites are valid, these Missingno. can be encountered instead of Yellow's normal Missingno. and will never freeze the game on the opponent's side.

===={{p|Kabutops}} [[Fossil]] form====
[[File:Spr 1b 141 f.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil form uses the sprite of the {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It is index number 182 (hex:B6).

* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if w is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 182.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Pupitar}}.

===={{p|Aerodactyl}} [[Fossil]] form====
[[File:Spr 1b 142 f.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil form uses the sprite of the {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It is index number 183 (hex:B7).

* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if x is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 183.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Tyranitar}}.

===={{OBP|Ghost|literal}} form====
[[File:Ghost I.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s Ghost form uses the sprite of the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} found in [[Pokémon Tower]] if the player does not have the [[Silph Scope]]. It is index number 184 (hex:B8)

In the Japanese versions, this form is not actually a Missingno. In these versions, rather than being named 'けつばん' (ketsuban) it is named "Ghost" (Japanese: ゴースト). This is unused, because all Pokémon Tower ghosts including the deceased {{p|Marowak}} use the hiragana ゆうれい ('[[wikipedia:Yūrei|yuurei]]') instead, which can mean the same thing but may specifically refer to the Japanese interpretation of ghosts in folklore.

* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if y is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 184.
* This form appears through evolving [[.PkMn|.{{PK}}{{MN}}]]{{sup/1|RB}} or [[Z ゥ]]{{sup/1|Y}} at level 224.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Lugia}}.

==Glitches caused==
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries]]
[[File:Missingno glitch walking players.png|thumb|left|160px|Example of multiple walking players on the screen]]
Missingno.'s appearance in-battle allows the [[Item duplication glitch#Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch|item duplication glitch]], which increases the number of items in the 6th Bag slot by 128 unless the number of items in the slot already exceeds 128.

Encountering Missingno. has been known to interfere with the save game data in various ways, such as adversely affecting the [[Hall of Fame]] data. The Hall of Fame corruption is a partial save; evident by the fact that playing Pokémon Red and Blue in {{g|Stadium}} via the [[Game Boy Tower]] and encountering a normal Missingno. will make a message appear stating that the game was saved.

When a Trainer battles with Missingno. in their [[party]], both the Trainer sprite and their Pokémon's sprites will be scrambled, and all other sprites will be [[Inverted_sprites|reversed]]. Viewing the [[stats]] screen of a non-glitch Pokémon will remove the effects.

In Pokémon Yellow, capturing Missingno. will commonly cause multiple player sprites, and sometimes other NPC's, to walk around the screen. If the NPC is aligned to the grid, it is possible to talk to them. Doing so may display text from the area, or may cause glitch text.  Collision with those NPC's is buggy, but the game does handle it.
{{-}}

==Trading Missingno.==
Missingno. can be traded from Red and Blue into {{game|Yellow}}, but cannot be traded forward through the [[Time Capsule]] into {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In Yellow, Missingno. levels down to level 1 if it gains any experience, and cannot grow any higher due to a glitched experience type. In Yellow, the only way to keep using a Missingno. at a different level in battle is to use a [[link cable]] to battle between two games.

In the trade center, Missingno., due to its [[index number]], appears as many different [[Generation II]] Pokémon from the perspective of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. For a full list of the Generation II Pokémon Missingno. can appear as, see [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)]]. If the player tries to trade Missingno., a message will appear stating "''Your <name> appears abnormal''." and the trade will automatically be cancelled. 

==In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}==
When viewed in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Missingno. will appear as a {{m|substitute}} doll, while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Missingno. will show up as a {{p|Ditto}}, and if the game is saved via Stadium 2, will then become a Ditto permanently. Capturing Missingno. in the [[Game Boy Tower]] in Pokémon Stadium may cause the cartridge to become unable to be played with Pokémon Stadium.

==Missingno. as deleted Pokémon theory and unique cries==
The name "Missingno." is used for the invalid Pokémon with index numbers in between valid Pokémon and is a shortened form of "missing number", derived from its Japanese name, けつばん (Ketsuban). The fact that {{p|Rhydon}}, the Pokémon with index number <tt>01</tt> was the first Pokémon ever made<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page02.html 開発スタッフインタビュー／キャラクターが決まるまで - Nintendo of Japan]</ref><ref>[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/game-freak-staff-interview/creating-the-pokemon/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Creating the Pokémon]</ref> has lead to speculation that the [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|index numbers of Pokémon in Generation I]] represent the order that they were programmed into the game, with Missingno. being deleted entries.

Supporting this theory is the fact that of the 39 Missingno., nine of them have unique cries that do not consist of all <tt>00</tt> values. <ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/missing-number/ Missing Number - IIMarck.us]</ref> These cries are located in a table in between real Pokémon cries, suggesting that they are not garbage data (unrelated data interpreted in the wrong way, as is the case with most of Missingno.'s properties).

The cry values are as follows:

{| {| style="background: #{{unknown color light}}; {{roundy|1em}}; border: 5px solid #{{unknown color}}; margin:auto"
|-
|
{| border=1 width="100%" style="background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{unknown color light}}; border-collapse:collapse; margin:auto"

|}

([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYEeLYSM5P0 Video of the cries])

It is notable that the number 151+39 comes to 190; a round number that may have very well been the initial number of Generation I Pokémon considered. This is supported by [http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/there-were-190-pok%C3%A9mon.78267/ a thread] on [[Smogon]] where Zog says that [[Shigeki Morimoto]]; a Pokémon designer confirmed that there were 190 Pokémon, and that 'the rest were saved for later'.

==Official Nintendo statement==
[[Nintendo]] has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the [[Inverted_sprites|graphics will often become scrambled]]. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the [[Old man glitch#Other coast related exploits|Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNo Pokémon. If the problem persists, the only solution is to re-start your game. This means erasing your current game and starting a brand new one." <ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">[http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#missingno Nintendo - Consumer Service]</ref></blockquote>

Nintendo was incorrect on the method for fixing graphical issues; releasing Missingno. does not fix the graphics. The correct way to fix these issues is to view the Pokédex data or stat page of an official Pokémon or a [[Glitch Pokémon family|hybrid glitch Pokémon]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Ketsuban.png|thumb|Sprite of Missingno. in Pokémon Red and Green]]
[[File:GenIVKetsuban.png|thumb|right|Gene- ration IV sprite]]
* If counted among normal Pokémon, the typical 'normal form' Missingno. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stats|base stat]] of all valid Pokémon in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This is the thirteenth highest of all Pokémon, not including other glitch Pokémon as of [[Generation V]].
** Likewise, the 'normal form' Missingno. has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, again not including other glitch Pokémon and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}.
*** The {{game|Yellow}} normal form Missingno. have 0 base speed. This ties with various [[Generation I]] glitch Pokémon for the lowest base Speed stat.
* Missingno. is much [[List of Pokémon by weight|heavier]] than any regular Pokémon. Missingno. is about four times heavier than [['M (00)]]. Missingno. is about half the weight of [[h POKé]], the heaviest known Pokémon of any kind.
* Missingno.'s height is 10'0". [['M (00)]] is more than twice as tall as Missingno. This makes Missingno. the [[List of Pokémon by height|19th tallest Pokémon]] when compared to non-glitch Pokémon.
* In its normal form, it has the same learnset as [['M (00)]], except that 'M (00) cannot learn {{m|Substitute}} via [[TM50]] and Missingno. cannot learn {{m|Pound}}.
* Normal form Missingno.'s stats in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} are actually determined by the [[Party|parties]] of several {{tc|Biker}}s, read as base stats.<ref name="TheSmogIssue27">[http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue27/glitch Smogon - The Smog Issue #27]</ref>
* Missingno. is the only [[glitch Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]] whose English name is entirely composed of typographical characters. Although other glitch Pokémon such as [[Trainer (glitch Pokémon)|Trainer]] and [[C (uppercase)|C]] may appear to be entirely composed of typographical characters, they contain illegible characters which change depending on the current tileset loaded into memory.
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is a sprite that contains text that reads {{tt|欠番|けつばん}}, Missingno.'s Japanese name in {{wp|kanji}}. However, unlike the Generation I placeholder text "MISSINGNO.", it exists only to substitute blank tile data, not blank species data. This means that the game will display this if a sprite is referenced that does not exist or cannot be accessed.
* Missingno. is referred to as "Pokémon 000" on [[Nintendo]]'s consumer support website, referencing its Pokédex number.

==Name origin==
Missingno.'s English and Japanese names are both derived from "missing number".

'''Missingno.''' (Japanese: '''けつばん''' ''Ketsuban'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and a dual-type {{t|Normal}}/randomly named glitch type (which often has '9' in it) [[glitch Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}. It is arguably the best known glitch Pokémon, closely followed by [['M (00)]] and it is the easiest glitch Pokémon to find in the localizations. It has five distinct forms, but two of them (the Red/Blue and Yellow normal forms) share 36 index numbers each.

In later generations, other glitch Pokémon are sometimes referred to as "a Missingno.", such as {{?|10}}, {{gp|?}}, and [[-----]]. Despite this, the name "Missingno." is a misnomer in this case; they have little relation to the one found in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} or {{v2|Yellow}}.

Missingno.'s [[cry]] is generally the game's equivalent of a "blank" cry: a {{p|Nidoran♂}} (base 00)'s cry with a pitch of 0 and no echo. This is because the cries of these Pokémon are undefined in the data structure. A few Missingno. have different cries (specifically <tt>0x43</tt>, <tt>0x45</tt>, <tt>0x4F</tt>, <tt>0x51</tt>, <tt>0x5E</tt>, <tt>0x5F</tt>, <tt>0x7F</tt>, and <tt>0xB5</tt>) and due to these cries being valid and not garbage data (unrelated data read in the wrong way, as is the case with most of Missingno.'s properties), this is one of the things that support the view that Missingno. may have originally been deleted Pokémon (see [[:#Missingno. as deleted Pokémon theory and unique cries|this section]]).

The Pokédex entries of Missingno. and all glitch Pokémon with a Pokédex number of 0 will only appear upon capture if the player has not encountered {{p|Cubone}}, but as with all glitch Pokédex entries, they normally remain inaccessible through the actual Pokédex. An exception to this is in {{2v2|Red|Green}}, where Missingno. can be "registered"; in the Pokédex if the player enables the 'seen' flag for #152 through select button glitches and memory corruption. If Missingno.'s Pokédex data is viewed, {{p|Rhydon}}'s cry will be heard, followed by Missingno.'s entry, which is blank, but the game will play a series of glitchy sounds.

All Missingno. cannot evolve or learn any level up moves.

==Forms==
==={{v2|Red and Blue|s}} normal form===
[[File:Missingno RB.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s Red and Blue normal form is a dual-type {{2t|Bird|Normal}} glitch Pokémon. It has a sprite that is a strange block of glitched pixels in a backward-L shape. Due to the larger number of characters that can be used to make it appear, it is the most common form. Normal form is exclusive to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name is the end-name marker, G, H, J, M, S, T, :, ], a, b, c, m, o, p, or v.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 50, 52, 56, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, 79, 80, 81, 86, 87, 94, 95, 115, 121, 122, 127, 134, 135, 137, 140, 146, 156, 159, 160, 161, 162, 172, 174, 175 or 181.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Magcargo}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Piloswine}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Octillery}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Miltank}}, {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, or {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==={{v2|Yellow}} normal form===
[[File:Missingno Y.png|frame|right]]
Missingno.'s {{v2|Yellow}} normal form is a dual-type {{t|Normal}} and randomly named glitch type (often containing '9') glitch Pokémon. This form uses the palette of {{p|Pikachu}}, and so appears as yellow and red glitched boxes. They also cause glitches that Missingno. in Red and Blue do not. If caught, they will cause graphical glitches, possibly rendering the player invisible and making duplicates of the player, and all other on-screen characters walk in random locations on the screen after battle. These forms do not appear through the [[old man glitch]], as it was removed in Yellow. It is likely that the game will freeze or get stuck when attempting to battle Yellow Missingno.'s normal form due to an invalid sprite pointer; <tt>0x0600</tt>. This is also what causes the walking characters effect.

* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 31, 32, 56, 61, 62, 63, 67, 68, 69, 86, 87, 94, 95, 115, 121, 122, 127, 134, 135, 137, 140, 146, 156, 159, 160, 161, 162, 172, 174, 175 or 181.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Scizor}}, {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Sneasel}}, {{p|Teddiursa}}, {{p|Ursaring}}, {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Magcargo}}, {{p|Swinub}}, {{p|Piloswine}}, {{p|Corsola}}, {{p|Remoraid}}, {{p|Octillery}}, {{p|Delibird}}, {{p|Mantine}}, {{p|Skarmory}}, {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Stantler}}, {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Tyrogue}}, {{p|Hitmontop}}, {{p|Smoochum}}, {{p|Elekid}}, {{p|Magby}}, {{p|Miltank}}, {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, or {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Encountering this Missingno. form is '''not''' safe, as it usually causes the game to freeze or get stuck.

===Fossil and ghost Missingno.===
The [[Fossil]] and ghost Missingno. (otherwise known as 'special Missingno.') are three unique forms of Missingno. that share their sprites with the {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil and {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil from the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], as well as the [[Ghost (literal)|ghosts from the Pokémon Tower]]. This is because the game actually uses their index numbers to get their sprite data in the museum (but if this is true with the ghost sprite is unconfirmed). These Pokémon have no constant [[base stats]], [[List of Pokémon by experience type|experience types]] or starting [[move]]s; instead they take this data from the last Pokémon in the party other than another special Missingno. If an enemy [[Trainer]] sends out a special Missingno. the aforementioned data is taken from the previous Pokémon they sent out (the user's Pokémon in battle does not count here).

The Fossil and ghost Missingno. exist in Yellow and have the same sprites as in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. They also work the same way. Since the sprites are valid, these Missingno. can be encountered instead of Yellow's normal Missingno. and will never freeze the game on the opponent's side.

===={{p|Kabutops}} [[Fossil]] form====
[[File:Spr 1b 141 f.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil form uses the sprite of the {{p|Kabutops}} Fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It is index number 182 (hex:B6).

* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if w is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 182.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Pupitar}}.

===={{p|Aerodactyl}} [[Fossil]] form====
[[File:Spr 1b 142 f.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil form uses the sprite of the {{p|Aerodactyl}} Fossil found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. It is index number 183 (hex:B7).

* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if x is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 183.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Tyranitar}}.

===={{OBP|Ghost|literal}} form====
[[File:Ghost I.png|thumb]]
Missingno.'s Ghost form uses the sprite of the {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} found in [[Pokémon Tower]] if the player does not have the [[Silph Scope]]. It is index number 184 (hex:B8)

In the Japanese versions, this form is not actually a Missingno. In these versions, rather than being named 'けつばん' (ketsuban) it is named "Ghost" (Japanese: ゴースト). This is unused, because all Pokémon Tower ghosts including the deceased {{p|Marowak}} use the hiragana ゆうれい ('[[wikipedia:Yūrei|yuurei]]') instead, which can mean the same thing but may specifically refer to the Japanese interpretation of ghosts in folklore.

* This form appears through the [[old man glitch]] if y is the character in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's chosen name.
* This form appears through the [[Mew glitch]] with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 184.
* This form appears through evolving [[.PkMn|.{{PK}}{{MN}}]]{{sup/1|RB}} or [[Z ゥ]]{{sup/1|Y}} at level 224.
* This form can be obtained through the [[Johto guard glitch]] if the [[trade]]d Pokémon is {{p|Lugia}}.

==Glitches caused==
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|160px|Examples of corrupted Hall of Fame entries]]
[[File:Missingno glitch walking players.png|thumb|left|160px|Example of multiple walking players on the screen]]
Missingno.'s appearance in-battle allows the [[Item duplication glitch#Pokédex 000 item duplication glitch|item duplication glitch]], which increases the number of items in the 6th Bag slot by 128 unless the number of items in the slot already exceeds 128.

Encountering Missingno. has been known to interfere with the save game data in various ways, such as adversely affecting the [[Hall of Fame]] data. The Hall of Fame corruption is a partial save; evident by the fact that playing Pokémon Red and Blue in {{g|Stadium}} via the [[Game Boy Tower]] and encountering a normal Missingno. will make a message appear stating that the game was saved.

When a Trainer battles with Missingno. in their [[party]], both the Trainer sprite and their Pokémon's sprites will be scrambled, and all other sprites will be [[Inverted_Sprites|reversed]]. Viewing the [[stats]] screen of a non-glitch Pokémon will remove the effects.

In Pokémon Yellow, capturing Missingno. will commonly cause multiple player sprites, and sometimes other NPC's, to walk around the screen. If the NPC is aligned to the grid, it is possible to talk to them. Doing so may display text from the area, or may cause glitch text.  Collision with those NPC's is buggy, but the game does handle it.
{{-}}

==Trading Missingno.==
Missingno. can be traded from Red and Blue into {{game|Yellow}}, but cannot be traded forward through the [[Time Capsule]] into {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. In Yellow, Missingno. levels down to level 1 if it gains any experience, and cannot grow any higher due to a glitched experience type. In Yellow, the only way to keep using a Missingno. at a different level in battle is to use a [[link cable]] to battle between two games.

In the trade center, Missingno., due to its [[index number]], appears as many different [[Generation II]] Pokémon from the perspective of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. For a full list of the Generation II Pokémon Missingno. can appear as, see [[list of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)]]. If the player tries to trade Missingno., a message will appear stating "''Your <name> appears abnormal''." and the trade will automatically be cancelled. 

==In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}==
When viewed in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, Missingno. will appear as a {{m|substitute}} doll, while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Missingno. will show up as a {{p|Ditto}}, and if the game is saved via Stadium 2, will then become a Ditto permanently. Capturing Missingno. in the [[Game Boy Tower]] in Pokémon Stadium may cause the cartridge to become unable to be played with Pokémon Stadium.

==Missingno. as deleted Pokémon theory and unique cries==
The name "Missingno." is used for the invalid Pokémon with index numbers in between valid Pokémon and is a shortened form of "missing number", derived from its Japanese name, けつばん (Ketsuban). The fact that {{p|Rhydon}}, the Pokémon with index number <tt>01</tt> was the first Pokémon ever made<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page02.html 開発スタッフインタビュー／キャラクターが決まるまで - Nintendo of Japan]</ref><ref>[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/game-freak-staff-interview/creating-the-pokemon/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Creating the Pokémon]</ref> has lead to speculation that the [[List of Pokémon by index number (Generation I)|index numbers of Pokémon in Generation I]] represent the order that they were programmed into the game, with Missingno. being deleted entries.

Supporting this theory is the fact that of the 39 Missingno., nine of them have unique cries that do not consist of all <tt>00</tt> values. <ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/missing-number/ Missing Number - IIMarck.us]</ref> These cries are located in a table in between real Pokémon cries, suggesting that they are not garbage data (unrelated data interpreted in the wrong way, as is the case with most of Missingno.'s properties).

The cry values are as follows:

{| {| style="background: #{{unknown color light}}; {{roundy|1em}}; border: 5px solid #{{unknown color}}; margin:auto"
|-
|
{| border=1 width="100%" style="background: #FFFFFF; border:1px solid #{{unknown color light}}; border-collapse:collapse; margin:auto"

([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYEeLYSM5P0 Video of the cries])

It is notable that the number 151+39 comes to 190; a round number that may have very well been the initial number of Generation I Pokémon considered. This is supported by [http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/there-were-190-pok%C3%A9mon.78267/ a thread] on [[Smogon]] where Zog says that [[Shigeki Morimoto]]; a Pokémon designer confirmed that there were 190 Pokémon, and that 'the rest were saved for later'.

==Official Nintendo statement==
[[Nintendo]] has an official description of Missingno. listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the [[Inverted_Sprites|graphics will often become scrambled]]. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the [[Old man glitch#Other coast related exploits|Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNo Pokémon. If the problem persists, the only solution is to re-start your game. This means erasing your current game and starting a brand new one." <ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">[http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#missingno Nintendo - Consumer Service]</ref></blockquote>

Nintendo was incorrect on the method for fixing graphical issues; releasing Missingno. does not fix the graphics. The correct way to fix these issues is to view the Pokédex data or stat page of an official Pokémon or a [[Glitch Pokémon family|hybrid glitch Pokémon]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Ketsuban.png|thumb|Sprite of Missingno. in Pokémon Red and Green]]
[[File:GenIVKetsuban.png|thumb|right|Gene- ration IV sprite]]
* If counted among normal Pokémon, the typical 'normal form' Missingno. has the highest {{stat|Attack}} [[base stats|base stat]] of all valid Pokémon in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This is the thirteenth highest of all Pokémon, not including other glitch Pokémon as of [[Generation V]].
** Likewise, the 'normal form' Missingno. has the lowest {{stat|Defense}} base stat of any Pokémon, again not including other glitch Pokémon and the third lowest {{stat|Speed}} base stat in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}.
*** The {{game|Yellow}} normal form Missingno. have 0 base speed. This ties with various [[Generation I]] glitch Pokémon for the lowest base Speed stat.
* Missingno. is much [[List of Pokémon by weight|heavier]] than any regular Pokémon. Missingno. is about four times heavier than [['M (00)]]. Missingno. is about half the weight of [[h POKé]], the heaviest known Pokémon of any kind.
* Missingno.'s height is 10'0". [['M (00)]] is more than twice as tall as Missingno. This makes Missingno. the [[List of Pokémon by height|19th tallest Pokémon]] when compared to non-glitch Pokémon.
* In its normal form, it has the same learnset as [['M (00)]], except that 'M (00) cannot learn {{m|Substitute}} via [[TM50]] and Missingno. cannot learn {{m|Pound}}.
* Normal form Missingno.'s stats in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} are actually determined by the [[Party|parties]] of several {{tc|Biker}}s, read as base stats.<ref name="TheSmogIssue27">[http://www.smogon.com/smog/issue27/glitch Smogon - The Smog Issue #27]</ref>
* Missingno. is the only [[glitch Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]] whose English name is entirely composed of typographical characters. Although other glitch Pokémon such as [[Trainer (glitch Pokémon)|Trainer]] and [[C (uppercase)|C]] may appear to be entirely composed of typographical characters, they contain illegible characters which change depending on the current tileset loaded into memory.
* In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is a sprite that contains text that reads {{tt|欠番|けつばん}}, Missingno.'s Japanese name in {{wp|kanji}}. However, unlike the Generation I placeholder text "MISSINGNO.", it exists only to substitute blank tile data, not blank species data. This means that the game will display this if a sprite is referenced that does not exist or cannot be accessed.
* Missingno. is referred to as "Pokémon 000" on [[Nintendo]]'s consumer support website, referencing its Pokédex number.

==Name origin==
Missingno.'s English and Japanese names are both derived from "missing number".

Inverted sprite

2014-05-03T01:45:02Z

Pokechu22: Some initial work on creating an article on this glitch effect. It's not perfect, but it covers some info.

{{stub}}
{{GlitchResearch| Exact cause, and why the fix works.}}

'''Inverted sprites''' (also known as '''Scrambled sprites''' or '''Reversed sprites''') is a side-effect of encountering certain [[Glitch Pokémon]].

==Effects==
[[File:InvertedSprites1.png|thumb|160px|When one first enters the battle, the trainer sprite is "glitchy" in appearance. It is also partially reversed from it's normal state: [[File:Y_Red_Back.png|16px]]]]
[[File:InvertedSprites2.png|thumb|160px|After the battle starts, one's Pokémon also have the "glitchy" back sprites. Note also that the enemy [[Rattata]] also has it's sprite reversed: [[File:Spr_1b_019.png|16px]]]]
[[File:InvertedSprites3.png|thumb|160px|Once one uses an attack, the enemy Pokémon's sprite breaks as well.]]
As the name would imply, having inverted sprites causes sprites to appear backwards or reversed. This flipping effect is used in the stats screen normally, but is only intended for front sprites and does not react well with other things.  For instance, the trainer sprite and back sprites get a "Glitchy" appearance when flipping is attempted. In addition, while the front sprites flip properly originally, once the sprite is updated (through attacking), it breaks.
The effect causes no permanent damage on your game.

==Fix==
To fix the effect, one needs to view the Pokédex entry or stats screen of any non-glitch Pokémon. 

==Official Nintendo statement==

[[Nintendo]] has an official description of [[Missingno.]] listed in their Customer Service troubleshooting section, which includes a nonworking method of fixing the effect:

<blockquote>"MissingNO is a programming quirk, and not a real part of the game. When you get this, your game can perform strangely, and the graphics will often become scrambled. The MissingNO Pokémon is most often found after you perform the [[Old man glitch#Other coast related exploits|Fight Safari Zone Pokémon trick]]. To fix the scrambled graphics, try releasing the MissingNo Pokémon. If the problem persists, the only solution is to re-start your game. This means erasing your current game and starting a brand new one." <ref name="NintendoTroubleshooting">[http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#missingno Nintendo - Consumer Service]</ref></blockquote>

Nintendo was incorrect on the method for fixing this behaviour; releasing [[Missingno.]] does not fix inverted sprites.

==Missing Generation I items==
I know that there's other items missing from the list for Generation I... I don't know the specifics since I don't use emulators or GameShark or anything, but I know of that least two more. There is an item called COIN and an item called ????? (which is not the Surfboard... it's a second item with the same name with a different effect). Someone should look into these and add them.

I just looked at a text dump and those seem to be the only two that are missing. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 03:44, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
:Thanks for bringing this up. I was going to add those items to the list, but I was busy on [[Starfy Wiki]] and totally forgot to do so. I'm familiar with some of their specifics. If you change the items in any [[PokéMart]], you can actually buy individual [[Coin#Trivia|Coin]]s for 10 Pokédollars per coin. The trivia section on Coin's page had some speculation on it, so I've since removed it. The second ????? has an index number of 44 (0x2C). Unlike the "surfboard" (0x07) this item does not appear to have a use at all, and gives Professor Oak's unusable message when you try to use it. I believe that 0x07 is actually programmed to act the way it does, and I've found it interesting that its index number is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)|directly after]] that of the Bicycle, but it could just be a coincidence.

:There is [[List of items by index number (Generation I)|another item]] that is a duplicate of PP UP, occupying index number 50 (0x32). The interesting thing about it is that it has a price of 9800 Pokédollars, which may suggest that the developers put it there in case you were going to buy PP Ups at one point. The real PP Up (0x4F) does not have a buy price (forcing it in a Poké Mart allows you to buy it for 0 Pokédollars). It does follow Nugget (0x31), but Nugget's buy price is 10,000 Pokédollars. Although it shares PP Up (0x4F)'s name, it appears to be unusable and gives Oak's unusable message when you attempt to use it. The item is similar to two items in [[Generation II]], but I'm not convinced they're related. They are "TM04" (dec:195, 0xC3) and "TM28" (dec: 220, 0xDC) and directly follow the index numbers of the real items. They can't be used, but they are found in the items pocket and do not have valid "buy" prices.

:The Safari Ball should probably be added to this list. I know that that it has a description on {{g|Stadium (Japanese)}} (it uses EUC-JP encoding), in addition to all games from [[Generation II]] and onwards. Additionally, IIRC the Japanese names of the Badges are the "unused names" (offset 4A92). (I added details about those unused names on the list of items by index number page under another section) and {{user|SnorlaxMonster}} helped me with what one of the names translated to. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 17:22, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

== Possible incorrect information? ==

So, I was playing Blue Rescue Team, and I was checking the board by the Pelipper Post Office for missions.
Suddenly, a reward caught my eye: the '''Mime Jr. Fig'''!
I had played around with Gameshark on my Red, and I got the notion that it was unused, especially due to its text.
Other internet sources confirmed my suspicions... until now.

I am aware of the existence of Wonder Mail Generators, but I assure you I have not used them.
I only wish I had immediately saved so I could take a pic of it on the board.
Now that it's in my Job List, all I have is the Wonder Mail code:

?6MC Y1Y? F369
KH?X 9MNR J6?W

I can take a pic of it in my Jobs List, though that wouldn't prove much.

The point is, should the Mime Jr. Fig (and presumably the Weavile Fig) be considered dummied?
While it has no use, it ''is'' normally obtainable. {{unsigned|Fishaman P}}
:While you can obtain [[Pokémon doll#Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|the items]], they are stored outside the Team Base rather than in the bag. Unless you mean that after you did the mission, it went into your bag and stayed there? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

Huh. I could have sworn you got the statues/dolls for doing star missions, and that I had come across the beta items. Darn.{{unsigned|Fishaman P}}

UPDATE: It was just the doll/statue for outside the base. False alarm.
{{unsigned|Fishaman P}}

== Why nothing for Generation III? ==

If there were no dummied out items, maybe we should indicate that? As is, it's really confusing. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 05:21, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

== Badges ==

According to [http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6472.msg189793.html#msg189793 this guy], the apparently superfluous badge items are used internally for the guy you talk to about the badges in Cerulean. Can someone verify this? I'm guessing they'd still count as dummied out, but it's probably worth noting on the article if correct.

== God Stone ==

According to TCRF, [http://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Black_2_and_White_2 it's removed] from B2W2. The graphics are still in the game, including the "key item obtained" graphic. Someone may want to check that (also Mom apparently has text for {{rt|10|Unova}}... interesting) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 11:05, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

== 8F ==

"Arbitrary code execution" isn't a intended function, and 8F is a glitch item. (It is used to display floors in elevators). If 8F is to be included, wsm, 6F, 1F, B1F, and everything else should be too. Still, 8F is a interesting item and does deserve a page. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 21:09, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

::I'm not quite sure. However, thinking about it, 8F is actually a dummied out item. However, so are 6F and the other similar items, as for whatever reason item names were used in menus. On the other hand, creating a [[List of glitch items]] page, similar to this one but with information like [http://glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/ItemDex?sort=hex-asc GCL's itemdex], would work fairly well. But there would also be overlap, as the badge items are both dummied out items and glitch items. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 21:57, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

:::::Um. Hm. I guess they are both. In the same way, the #F items are dummied out though, as they are used for the elevator. Their effects make them glitch items. I can say for certain that other glitch items would fit only in the dummied out category. Hm. --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 15:48, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

:::::::Ah, ok. 8F does belong and it doesn't belong. I wish I could make a choice.

Cheating

2014-03-25T23:27:55Z

Pokechu22: /* Preventive measures */ Master code explanation.

'''Cheating''' is a method of playing the [[Pokémon games]] which gives the player advantages that would not be available through normal gameplay. Cheating can be used to duplicate rare and valuable [[item]]s and to obtain certain [[Legendary Pokémon]] which would not be available until a [[Nintendo]] {{pkmn2|event}} otherwise.

==Methods of cheating==
===Glitches===
{{main|Glitch}}
[[File:Mystery Zone.png|thumb|An example of Tweaking: Biking in the void south of [[Lake Verity]], which is actually a part of the [[Mystery Zone]]]]
While many glitches have no real in-game utility, it is possible to use some of them as a benefit for the [[player character|player]]. The most well known examples of such thing are the [[Mew glitch]] and [[Tweaking]], used in order to catch {{p|Mew}} and to catch {{p|Darkrai}} or {{p|Shaymin}}, respectively.

{{-}}

===pRNG Manipulation===
{{main|Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon#RNG abuse|Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon → RNG abuse}}
pRNG manipulation (commonly dubbed RNG abuse) is a controversial topic amongst the Pokémon fandom. As a result of random number generators not being truly random, the numbers generated can be predicted. This allows users to, after calculating them, aim for specific traits, such as capturing Pokémon with multiple 31s for its [[Individual values]], with a specific Nature, or [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny ones]]. While there is no interference with the game's coding from any external sources (indeed, the results obtained during pRNG manipulation can be obtained completely randomly), many see pRNG manipulation as a form of cheating, due to the resultant Pokémon being very difficult to obtain otherwise.

===Cheating devices===
[[File:Bulbasaur cheating.png|thumb|200px|left|The appearance of a wild {{p|Bulbasaur}}, something that can only happen with the use of cheating devices]]
Some players will use devices such as [[Action Replay]] to affect the execution of the game and easily obtain things they would otherwise need to work for. With cheating devices, players can simply alter the game's code to give them many other valuable Pokémon, making the hunt for [[shiny Pokémon]] and those with optimal {{IV}}s and [[Nature]]s incredibly easy.

Cheating devices are commonly used to get Pokémon or items which are otherwise only obtainable through a [[Nintendo]] [[List of Nintendo Pokémon promotional events|promotional events]], if at all. Commonly, in [[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}}, this means using the device to gain a special item to catch a Pokémon, such as the [[GS Ball]] or [[Old Sea Map]].

{{-}}
[[File:Wild F-00.png|thumb|200px|right|A wild {{p|F-00}}, an example of using a wild Pokémon modifier code. Notice the error that causes "-" to be replaced by "?" on the name]]
A cheat that may be considered one of the most useful, the "Wild Pokémon Modifier" code is used to make any Pokémon of choice appear in any location, readily available for capture to build a collection of an unlimited amount of desired Pokémon easily with little to no negative effects to the save file. The wild Pokémon modifier code can also be used to make [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] appear in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], although as the game will attempt to bring up a nonexistent [[Pokédex]] entry upon capture, the game will freeze.
An updated version of the modifier allows the player to set [[level]] and [[Nature]]. The cheat also makes {{EV}}-training much easier, by allowing Pokémon that give those EVs to be readily available.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, a code which has been come to be known as the "walk anywhere code" allows cheaters access to any remote location by simply walking from one map location to another, sometimes passing through the [[Mystery Zone]]. This code also enables users to catch the Pokémon {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}}.

Using the downloadable program, [[Pokésav]], in conjunction with an Action Replay DS or ROM cartridges such as the R4, allows one to literally make their own Pokémon from scratch.

However, not all players will use cheating devices to make the game easier. In some cases, cheating devices can be used to make the game ''harder'', such as the case where a player would use a code to trigger [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Professor Oak battle|a battle with Professor Oak]].

==Criticism==
The primary complaint against cheating methods is that it takes no particular ability to exploit a glitch or enter a cheat code, and thus detracts from the point and spirit of the game, making it less enjoyable. While this is a subjective matter, it is the primary cause of cheating offending most players.

Another more practical argument against cheating is that glitches and cheat codes often hurt the stability of the game. Many players have lost their Pokémon or save files while trying to exploit their game. On occasion, entire parties of Pokémon have been overwritten because of a destabilized glitch.

Some will justify using cheating devices to get Pokémon when they cannot attend [[Nintendo]] [[List of Nintendo Pokémon promotional events|promotional event]]s, the only legitimate way to obtain some Pokémon. It can also be at times the only way to acquire a certain item, such as the [[Lock Capsule]], which in Pokémon Black and White contains {{TM|95|Snarl}}; or the [[GS Ball]], which can be used to encounter {{p|Celebi}}. It is a matter of opinion whether or not this is a valid excuse for cheating.

===Preventive measures===
To combat cheating, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} have two measures to prevent cheating. Firstly, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Deoxys}} were given special programming that prevents them from obeying the player if they were obtained illegitimately. However, this countermeasure fails if the player uses cheats to get to [[Faraway Island]] or [[Birth Island]], and then catches the Pokémon in a somewhat legitimate manner. The countermeasure is negated if the Pokémon is caught in FireRed or LeafGreen and is then transferred to a [[Generation IV]] game. Secondly, special programming called DMA (dynamic memory allocation) is used in [[Generation III]], and causes the data targeted by cheating devices to dynamically move around. However, this can be avoided by using codes to disable the DMA. Such codes are often referred to as "Master Codes".

Twitch Plays Pokémon

{{current event}}

[[File:Twitch Plays Pokémon logo.png|thumb|Twitch Plays Pokémon logo]]
'''Twitch Plays Pokémon''' is a {{wp|Twitch (website)|Twitch}} channel that streams play-throughs of [[ROM hacks|modded versions]] of Pokémon games, where the viewers control the game by commenting button presses. The stream went live on February 13, 2014 at 01:23:18 {{wp|Greenwich Mean Time|GMT}}. After the viewers finished {{game|Red}} on March 1, 2014, the stream displayed a timer, counting down the time until the next adventure started. On March 2, 2014, viewers began playing a modded version of {{game|Crystal}} that had all Pokémon available without having to communicate with another game. On March 15, shortly before the players defeated {{ga|Red}}, a timer started counting down from one week for the start of {{game|Emerald}}.

The stream peaked at around 120,000 viewers during its first playthrough, and has been the most viewed live Twitch stream for periods of time. Only footage from 11 hours into Day 2 onward has been saved, which can be found [http://www.twitch.tv/twitchplayspokemon/profile/pastBroadcasts here].

==Pokémon Red==
===Gameplay===
Twitch users controlled the character by submitting case-insensitive button names through the chat. Valid commands were A, B, up, down, left, right, and Start; Select previously was valid, but after it was used to [[Soft resetting|soft reset]] the game, it was disabled due to having no other significant functional purpose. Each input in the chat was processed for one frame of gameplay, so the process of canceling [[evolution]] required three consecutive inputs of the B button in anarchy mode.

Originally, players would simply submit buttons and the game would execute as many as possible. However, after players were stuck in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] for almost 24 hours on the first [[spinner]] puzzle, the host implemented a system where players could choose between anarchy (the original method) and democracy. In democracy mode, players' button presses are instead tallied, and then the most popular is executed; also, players can enter compound and iterative commands (such as "start9" and "upleft"). The "wait" command was also available in democracy mode, in which, when inputted, the player character takes no action until the next non-"wait" command is received. Players could vote to switch between anarchy and democracy by using "democracy" and "anarchy" as if they were buttons. 80% of the votes were required to switch from anarchy to democracy mode, whilst only 50% of the votes are required to switch from democracy to anarchy mode. The host said that the reason behind the asymmetry is that, with the previous system of requiring 75% of votes for a switch in either direction, it took a smaller majority to disrupt democracy mode than it did to reinstate anarchy mode.

Simple tasks had often become extremely difficult due to the high number of players; players had spent hours trying to teach [[HM]] moves, {{m|cut}} down trees, pass through areas with [[ledge]]s, and reach crucial points in the game.

===Progress===
The [[player character]] used the default name of {{ga|Red|RED}} and started with {{p|Charmander}}. The player entered the [[Hall of Fame]] and finished the end credits at 16d 7h 50m 40s. After the game was continued, it froze and the timer was reset permanently to 16d 7h 50m 19s, with a timer counting down from approximately 27 hours reading "A new adventure will begin". The header above the video was later changed to "TwitchPlaysPokemon playing Gold/Silver/Crystal". The save file has reached the maximum amount of playtime that can be recorded within the game, 255 hours.

==Pokémon Crystal==
27 hours after Twitch viewers defeated {{ga|Blue}} in Pokémon Red, {{game|Crystal}} was started, on March 2, 2014. Unlike Red, an entirely new game was started, allowing viewers to name the [[player character]]: AJDNNW, Trainer ID of 47901. At 9 days, 21 hours, 24 minutes, 49 seconds, and four battles against [[Lance]], the players became the {{pkmn|Champion}}. After the credits, the players started a new game, which was quickly reset to the aftermath of resuming the initial adventure at [[New Bark Town]]. At 12 days and 5 hours, anarchy mode was permanently established and the players were given the deadline of one week to defeat Red. After the deadline, a
{{game|Emerald}} playthrough will begin automatically. After 13 days, 2 hours, 2 minutes, 41 seconds, and seven attempts, Red was defeated. The game was last saved on {{rt|36|Johto}}, near the crossroads where {{p|Sudowoodo}} is enountered.

===Gameplay changes===
Originally, during Pokémon Red, players would vote to choose between anarchy and democracy as the game progressed. With the start of a new game, this system was changed to the current style, where players are no longer allowed to change between anarchy and democracy at any time. Instead, the game starts in anarchy mode while a timer counts down at the top of the stream. At the start of every hour after the start of the game, the countdown reaches zero and democracy mode takes over. In democracy mode, players are allowed to vote for which button they want used, along with both an option to vote for "anarchy" and to vote for the "wait" command. If anarchy is the most popular command when the votes are tallied, then the game will automatically switch back to anarchy. The countdown is then set again to reach zero at the next hour, whether it is in an actual hour or in a minute.

Into the seventh day and fourth hour, the anarchy/democracy was adjusted once again. It was completely overhauled into a new system, in which a certain command had to be entered ten times within a period of 500 milliseconds for it to be executed. This system was briefly abolished an hour later, reverting back to the format described in the previous paragraph, until resuming the new form twenty minutes later. Anarchy/democracy was re-established at 8 days, 5 hours.

Hacks in this game were more prevalent compared to the previous game. For example, the players obtained {{p|Steelix}} when {{p|Onix}} evolved at [[level]] 35. Red's NPC team is identical to his final team in the previous game, barring [[nickname]]s; their levels were adjusted to match the levels of Red's original team in Crystal.<ref>[http://kotaku.com/lord-helix-makes-a-most-unexpected-return-in-twitch-pl-1543901152 Lord Helix Makes A Most Unexpected Return In 'Twitch Plays Pokémon' - Kotaku]</ref>

==Pokémon Emerald==
After Red was defeated in Pokémon Crystal, the timer for {{game|Emerald}} to begin was not reset. In the meantime, the site hosting Twitch Plays Pokémon featured various games, including fan-made Pokémon games, {{pkmn|anime}} episodes via [[Game Boy Advance Video]], and other [[Nintendo]] games such as {{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening}}, {{gsu|Golden Sun (game)|Golden Sun}}, [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], and {{wb|Mother 3}}. Currently, the player has obtained two [[Badge]]s and have talked to {{Steven}} in [[Granite Cave]].

===Gameplay changes===
Unlike Pokémon Red and Pokémon Crystal, Pokémon Emerald is being played in high-definition and isn't a modded game. Also, democracy mode was completely disabled, with pure anarchy enabled, making the game more akin to the first half of the Red run. Furthermore, the bottom of the screen now permanently displays each Pokémon the player has in the [[party]], including [[Level]]s and percentage of [[HP]] remaining.

===Progress===
As the Select button was not initially disabled, the game was inadvertently [[Soft resetting|soft reset]] several times. The male character was almost selected and named Milton, before the female character was selected and named      /'. The game was then soft reset and the female character was selected, named CAMILA. After being soft reset a third time, the game was saved under a character named {{ga|Brendan|T}}. Despite [[saving]], the game was soft reset a fourth time. The female character was selected and almost named HAZEL. This was canceled and the male character was selected, almost being named REID. The female character was almost named !!?, before settling on a final name of A.

==Host==
The host currently wishes to remain anonymous, but has revealed that they are Australian. They have stated that they wish to intervene as little as possible. Previously, they had suspected that they may have had to do so for the {{safari|Kanto}} due to the imposed step limit, but ultimately it was completed using democracy mode.

Occasionally, the host has throttled the Start button, to prevent people using it simply to interrupt progress; Twitch users who submit Start as a command will be put in Slow Mode. The host also had to intervene when the game was soft reset, so that the save file was not overwritten; after this, the host disabled the Select button since it had no other significant function (the early games used it solely for sorting items in the player's [[Bag]] or a Pokémon's [[move]]s). Later, the host added the anarchy/democracy system to help players overcome otherwise incredibly difficult tasks such as the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] spinner maze.

Dokokashira door glitch

2014-03-16T00:04:12Z

Pokechu22: /* Execution */ Kept interpreting the "Select" message as press select; you need to press A.

The '''Dokokashira door glitch''' (Japanese: '''どこかしらドアバグ''' ''{{tt|Dokokashira|Where is it}} door bug'') is a glitch in [[Generation I]], which exists in {{game3|Red and Green|the Japanese Pokémon Red and Green Versions|s}} as well as [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|the Japanese Pokémon Blue]]. It was first documented on the Japanese Pokémon [[glitch]] website [http://pokemonbug.oh.land.to Pokemonbug].

It is similar to [[tweaking]] and the [[surf glitch]] in [[Generation IV]]. It can be used to enter the [[Hall of Fame]] without battling the [[Elite Four]] or the {{pkmn|Champion}}. It is still possible to trigger this glitch in the international releases of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} - however, it will have different effects from the Japanese releases, and it will not cause the player to warp.

==Execution==

From a new game, the player obtains at least two items, with {{key|I|Oak's Parcel}} in the second slot. The [[bag]] should then be opened and the player should press the Select button on Oak's Parcel, then select ''Cancel'' twice. This will cause the cursor to stay white. A wild {{pkmn|battle}} should be initiated and then the player should open the [[party|Pokémon menu]] and press A while over first Pokémon, thus swapping it with a [['M (FF)]]. The player should open the fight menu, to prevent the game from managing as if there are no Pokémon on the field when the battle ends and then [[escape|run away from]] or win.

From now on, the glitch should be active. Some of its effects are undesirable, such as slight graphical errors on the main map interface; however, one of the more useful effects will ensure that the warp location of the next door the player walks through is relevant to the amount of extra steps he or she takes, with the warp location changing every extra four steps.

==Explanation==

The '''Dokokashira door glitch''' takes advantage of the fact that in Pokémon Red, Green and Japanese Blue, the player is able to switch the slots of [[item]]s as well as Pokémon. However, an oversight of this feature was that if the player were to press the Select button on the items screen and then exit out of the menu, the game will still remember the position where Select button was held down previously.

When the player switches the second item in his or her [[Bag]] with his or her first Pokémon, it will force the game to switch the second Pokémon (which is nonexistent) with the first one. In this particular early-game scenario, it switches the end of list marker to the first position. This confuses the subroutine which applies the [[Poison (status ailment)|poison damage]] in the overworld, causing it to check Pokémon beyond the sixth slot for poison damage, decrementing massive amounts of RAM addresses while thinking they are party Pokémon's health points.

==Path calculation==

An equation from [[Glitch City Laboratories]] allows calculation of the map location the player will appear after walking through the doors affected by this glitch.

It is: ''WarpID = k-(Steps/4)'', where "WarpID" is the [[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|map identifier]] that the player is warped to, "Steps" are the amount of steps walked by the player and "k" is a constant, depending on the player's map location. The equation is not applicable if its right side falls below zero.

Only one of the entrances will warp the player, depending on the map. If the player enters or exits the map through any of the non-warping entrances, the amount of "steps walked" will be reset to 0 and the map constant will be refreshed.

===Constants===
Below is a list of constants (k), used in the path calculation equation above. ''Warp location'' is the entrance which will cause the player to warp to the map specified by the equation.

==Examples==

===Hall of Fame warp===
To warp to the [[Hall of Fame]], players must complete the above method, then follow this method. From the spot the wild Pokémon was battled, the player should take around ''83'' steps, landing the last step on the door of {{ga|Blue}}'s house in [[Pallet Town]]. The player will warp to {{rt|7|Kanto}}, from where the player should walk to [[Celadon City]], enter the [[Pokémon Center]], immediately exit it, then enter the [[Celadon Department Store]] through the right entrance in the most linear way possible. The player will warp to [[Indigo Plateau|Lance's room]], where the player should proceed through the back door. The player should then walk past {{ga|Blue}}, into the next room. The player will now be in the [[Hall of Fame]], which counts as the player defeating the [[Pokémon League]] and will display the credits. Alternatively, entering the Celadon Condominiums building instead of the Pokémon Center will warp the player right to the Hall of Fame room after entering the Celadon Department Store, although with glitchy graphics.

===Unused map 1 warp===
An alternative version of the {{rt|6|Kanto}} entrance to Underground Path, with a default music theme of Vermilion City, instead of its final Pewter City theme.
By traveling 83-87 steps after activating the glitch in {{rt|1|Kanto}} and landing the final step on the door of {{ga|Blue}}'s house, the player will now be in {{rt|7|Kanto}}. Then the player should walk to either the Celadon City Pokémon Center, or the Celadon Condominiums building and immediately walk out and travel an additional 188-191 steps, landing the final step in the right-most entrance of the Celadon Department Store.

{{youtubevid|Uia4yd_xnFM|ChickasaurusGL|spicy}}

==In international releases==

Dokokashira door glitch still exists in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, but it's not available in early game, as select glitches were removed in international releases. However, triggering this glitch is still possible by [[Memory corruption|corrupting the memory]] with [[Super Glitch (move)|Super Glitch]] or [[ZZAZZ glitch]]. Some of the effects from {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} are still present, such as map tiles changing every 4 steps, or random Pokémon fainting even though nothing is poisoned. There also exist some effects which didn't happen in Pokémon Red, Green and Blue, like glitchy music and changing item quantities. In international releases, Dokokashira door glitch does not change the warp location.

{{youtubevid|-h30Q83SUWA|TheZZAZZGlitch|spicy}}

==Name origin==
The English name of this glitch stems directly from the Japanese name. "Dokokashira" is a transliteration of the Japanese word "どこかしら", which translates to "somewhere" (or something more close to "somehow," except it specifies a place). The rest of the name is simply a translation of the Japanese name. The Japanese name is taken from the gadget "''Dokodemo-Door''" ("どこでもドア", literally "''anywhere-door''") from the long-running Japanese manga ''Doraemon'', which is widely accepted in Japan. The gadget is a door-shaped machine that takes people to an arbitrary distant place, by entering the destination and just opening it. This was related to the glitch's feature where it makes the {{player}} to warp to distant places after walking through the door into {{ga|Blue}}'s house, except that the destinations are seemingly random - hence getting "Somewhere-door."

==shiny odds increased? ==
I got Pokémon X on October 12, launch date. Within an hour of playing it, I found a shiny Psyduck. Two days later, I found a shiny Woobat. So either I'm REALLY lucky, or the chances of finding a shiny Pokémon increased for Generation Six. What do you think? [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 13:08, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

:Wow, how did you do that a year before the game came out?!

:Seriously, though, I've been hearing this quite a bit lately from all over the place. Also, apparently Monochrome Pokémon are appearing at the previous Shiny rate. Pokérun MAY also be more common, but that one's a little harder to pinpoint. Unfortunately, the 3DS games can't be data mined like previous gens, so it might be a while before we have any solid numbers. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 19:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
::I've heard that the monochrome Pokémon are simply a texture error, which seems likely to me. We also can't say anything about increased shiny rate without hard facts. ''Maybe'' that many fans think shinies are more common in Gen VI, but that doesn't seem terribly notable. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 22:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
:::I've heard that the shiny encounter rate is more generous in X and Y. [[User:Kikaypikachu|Kikaypikachu]] ([[User talk:Kikaypikachu|talk]]) 10:07, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
::::I understand that there's no easy way to prove that the Shiny odds have increased, but can I point out one more thing? One time I (almost) traded with someone who had a teal Frogadier and a black Furfrou. I do believe that they are Shiny Pokémon, so that means that the person is either super lucky, a hacker, or the Shiny odds have increased. Once again, there's really no way to prove this without a confirmation from Nintendo, but I just wanted to throw that out.

::::Also, Pokérus may be more common now. One of my friends got Pokérus within one week of playing X, while I've been playing Black for over two years now and I haven't caught it. So either-- well, you know what I'm going to say. And once again this is all speculation, which really makes me wonder why I'm even pointing this out.

::::Also, what's this talk about Monochrome Pokémon? Unless you're referring to Generation One, I have no idea what you're talking about. [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 13:48, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:::::Some rumour about a new type of Pokémon similar to Shiny Pokémon, with the coloroation being black and white. I've heard about it and also heard it's some texture error, either that or it's just a hoax. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 13:59, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
::::::I don't think Pokérus is more common. Shinies pretty clearly are though (and can be observed easily from empirical testing, and has been). A single person finding Pokérus while their friend does not is not a good sample size; with that data, Pokérus could easily be less common.
::::::As for monochrome Pokémon, I'm calling them a hoax. If they exist, I challenge anybody that has one to record a battle video featuring one and share the code; if they are an intended mechanic, in a battle video they will appear monochrome for everyone. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:05, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
If there really were monochrome Pokémon they would probably have been revealed earlier. [[User:Kikaypikachu|Kikaypikachu]] ([[User talk:Kikaypikachu|talk]]) 14:30, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:Monochrome Pokémon are caused by a texture error, and are not an intended mechanic. --[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 14:53, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

:Ah, that makes sense. I would also like to point out one more thing: it ''may'' be impossible to find a shiny Xerneas, Yveltal, and Zygarde. Once again, this is all speculation, and I bet the majority of admins would have my head for this, but I've looked all over for an encounter with a shiny Xerneas, Yveltal, or Zygarde, and I've found nothing. It may be that people haven't had time or motivation to shiny hunt them, but I'm sure that there would at least be a screenshot of a shiny legendary by now. I don't want to drag this topic out for too long, but do you have any thoughts on the matter? Also, I'm sorry, admins. [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 22:31, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

::It's plausible that Xerneas and Yveltal have coding in place that prevents them from being shiny, since last Gen's mascots Reshi and Zek have similar measures in place. Either that or like you suggested people have had no luck/time finding them.--[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 23:09, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
:::That's very possible. [[User:Kikaypikachu|Kikaypikachu]] ([[User talk:Kikaypikachu|talk]]) 23:12, 2 November 2013 (UTC)
::::Once again, there's really no way to be sure about this without a confirmation from Game Freak, I'm just pointing this out. [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 00:17, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
:::::GF's never gonna tell us 'bout that sort of thing. We need hackers for that--[[User:BigBadBatter|BigBadBatter]] ([[User talk:BigBadBatter|talk]]) 06:18, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Research has been done about this: http://nuggetbridge.com/forums/topic/2793-instacheck-hotspot-a-fast-pok%C3%A9mon-checker-for-xy/
This Shiny Value is between 0 and 4095. 'Shiny Value' is the equivalent of TID and SID XORed and right shifted 4 places. It used to be shifted 3 places (2^3 is 8 which is why the value has to be less than 8 because the last 3 bits don't count), however no it's shifted 4 places, meaning the last 4 bits don't count. So going by the calcs in the article the answer can now be less and 16 for it to be shiny. Therefore the range is doubled and the chance of getting a shiny is doubled. I'm about to edit the article to mention this change. [[User:Lucky V4.0|Lucky V4.0]] ([[User talk:Lucky V4.0|talk]]) 18:32, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

==Shiny parents==
This is unrelated but I was curious if hatching a shiny Pokemon is more likely if one of the parents is shiny. [[User:Mariofan99|Mariofan99]] ([[User talk:Mariofan99|talk]]) 19:49, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
:This is only the case in Generation II, where Shininess is the result of IVs. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:07, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

== Horde Battle and Friend Safari not mentioned ==

How come there is no mention of Horde battles increasing the chance of finding a Shiny? I am not the best at math, but I know it gives you a 5x better chance then the traditional 1-on-1 encounter. Again, not the best at math, but if I did it right it looks like each Pokémon in a horde has a 1/4096, which in terns means there is a 1/819.2 chance of encountering a horde with a shiny Pokémon if I am correct?

Also, I'm pretty sure there is a higher chance of finding Shiny Pokémon in the Friend Safari but there is no mention of this either. The first time I entered a friend's Flying type Safari I encountered a Shiny Hawlucha. If I am not mistaken, I think the reason there is a increase is because there are only 2-3 Pokémon available in the Friend Safari at all times, thus your chances of encountering a shiny, at least of those 2-3 increases. This might be a superficial increase though. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:40, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
:Horde Encounters do not increase the shiny rate. Five Pokémon means that you're five times more likely to have ''any'' of the members of the horde be Shiny, yes, but the random generator still creates ''each individual'' Pokémon with the same rate as normal. As for the Friend Safari, I haven't seen anybody say anything about an increased Shiny rate there except people idly speculating based on anecdotal evidence like you're doing right now. We can't report it as true until either (A) we hack the game and check the data ourselves or (B) a high-quality (i.e. sample size of several thousand, at least) statistical analysis is performed.

::The probability posted by Yamitora is very accurate, but it's calculated in a wrong way; by that logic, a 4096-Pokémon horde would ''always'' include a Shiny Pokémon. The true probability of encountering at least one Shiny Pokémon in a Horde Encounter is 1 - (4095/4096)^5 or about 1/819.6.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 21:25, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
:::The probability he posted of a battle ''containing'' a Shiny might be accurate, but that's neither how the games are programmed nor how our pages are presented. The probability of a particular Pokémon being generated as Shiny by the algorithm is the same regardless of whether that's in a Single Battle, a Double Battle or a Horde Encounter. Claiming on our page that a Horde Encounter has a higher Shiny rate would be misleading. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:33, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
::::I already said I am not that good with math. I mentioned 1/819.2. Den Zen, you came up with 1/819.6 I wasn't trying to say it like every horde has a shiny, I was just unintentionally misrepresenting the math since again, not so good with it.
::::By the way Pumpkingking0192...Its both rude and condescending accusing me of speculating like that. I'm trying to do the best I can with what skills and resources I have. Please show some respect and courtesy for me as a fellow editor.
::::Also Den Zen already said that the horde battles do in fact in crease the odds of finding a shiny by the fact there are 5 Pokemon instead of 1. Just like smoking a pack of cigs a day increases your odds of developing lung cancer. Its all in the numbers. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 02:17, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

== Gen VI Shiny Charm Calculations ==

I'm not sure if the calculation for the Shiny charm still triples the chances, but if so would the chance be 1/1365.33 in gen VI?

again, I am not good with math. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:22, 8 February 2014 (UTC)

:One more thing. Under Generation VI it says "The exact rates at which the previous four techniques increase the Shiny probability are currently unknown." What four techniques does this mean. I know chain fishing rates are unknown still, but what are the other 4? because I am only counting 3 techniques, The shiny Charm, Masuda Method and Poké Radar which I am pretty sure those odds have already been calculated. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 14:08, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
::They are? Nobody said they went up 4 times like normal chance, or they changed at all, considering G5 did buffed Masuda method by 1/8192 IIRC while wild was still 1/8192. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 14:16, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Its confusing that's for sure. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 14:48, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Well, it's probably coincidence, but no sooner did I get the charm that i ran into a carbink/ragarolla horde with a shinny ragarolla in it. But I think we have to hack the game and see the code before we can be sure or add to the article. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 02:21, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

== Gen 1? ==

Can Shiny Pokémon occur in the first generation? I have encountered a Missingno of alternate colors while recording, and someone on the video comments says they once got a gen1 shiny as well. Is this an intentional effect or is it the game not properly setting the second species byte that controls colors? Or is it something that is caused due to hardware or emulation errors? (Was there a report of people naturally encountering [[??????????]]'s with a "1 in 1 million" chance? This might be similar). [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqPoR8al36Y Here's my video.] --[[User:Pokechu22|Pokechu22]] ([[User talk:Pokechu22|talk]]) 15:59, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
:Shiny Pokémon do not strictly exist in Generation I; that is to say that in those games there is no difference at all, but they do retain their Shininess when traded from Gen II to Gen I to Gen II again, and Pokémon caught in Gen I can be Shiny after being traded to Gen II. But as for your actual question, Missingno.'s pallet being wrong does not mean it is Shiny. I can't tell you exactly what the cause of the incorrect pallet is, but it's not due to Missingno. being Shiny. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:11, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
