'''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.

=====Yellow=====
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
Professor Oak catches this {{p|Pikachu}} while stopping Red from beginning his journey without any Pokémon. He later decides to give it to him.

This {{p|Eevee}} was intended for Red but was taken by Blue in his impatience. Its evolutionary path is determined by the player's interactions with its Trainer.

=====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. For obtaining all sixteen [[Badge]]s and defeating {{ga|Red}}, he will give the player one of either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. He also gives the player {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to assist them in navigation through [[Mt. Silver]]. He will also gives the player the National Pokédex before boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]]. Finally, if both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} from HeartGold and SoulSilver are traded into the same game, he will give the player a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Jade Orb}} so that {{p|Rayquaza}} may be caught at the [[Embedded Tower]].

This world… …is inhabited far and wide by creatures called <sc>Pokémon</sc>! For some people, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are pets. Other use them for battling.

Right… So your name is <player>. This is my grandson. He's been your rival since you both were babies. …Erm, what was his name now? …Er, was it <rival>? That's right! I remember now! His name is <rival>! <player>! Your own very <sc>Pokémon</sc> legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with <sc>Pokémon</sc> awaits! Let's go!"''

=====[[Pallet Town]]=====

* After resuming game after beating rival before receiving National Pokédex, if the Sevii sidequest is not done:

======Battle======
:''"Oh, for Pete's sake… So pushy, as always. <player>. You've never had a <sc>Pokémon</sc> battle before, have you?

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:

* 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!

:''"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 CHARMANDER?"''

* When checking the Squirtle Poké Ball
:''"So, you've decided on the Water Pokémon SQUIRTLE?"''

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

* 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. Your Pokémon were outstanding, too. Because they believed in you as a Trainer, you persevered. Congratulations, <player>!"''

=====Professor Oak's Laboratory=====
* Upon first meeting
:''"Ah, <player>! It's good of you to come all this way to Kanto. What do you think of the Trainers out here? Pretty tough, huh?"''
* 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?"''
* Via Pokégear while inside Professor Oak's Laboratory
:''"Hello, this is Professor Oak... Hmm... It's strange. I know your voice, <player>, but somehow hearing it over the phone makes it sound so different."''

=====Pokédex evaluation=====
* Via Pokégear
:''"Hello, this is Professor Oak... Oh, hello, <player>! So, how's your Pokédex coming along?"''
:Quit
::''"Show me your Pokédex again anytime!"''
:Evaluate
::''"Hmm, let's see... You've seen <number> Pokémon, and you've caught <number> Pokémon! I see! <evaluation quote> Show me your Pokédex again anytime!"''
*1-9
:''"Look for Pokémon in grassy areas!"''
*10-19
:''"Good. I see you understand how to use Poké Balls."''
*20-34
:''"You're getting good at this. But you have a long way to go."''
*35-49
:''"Hmm, you're catching Pokémon at a decent pace!"''
*50-64
:''"You're trying--I can see that. Your Pokédex is coming together."''
*65-79
:''"You're training them well. You know some Pokémon don't evolve just by battling with others, right?"
*80-94
:''"Do you have a Fishing Rod? There are some Pokémon that can only be found by fishing!"''
*95
:''"Excellent! You seem to be good at collecting things!"''
* '''Johto Pokédex complete'''
:''Wow!''
:''That is a complete Johto Pokédex!''
:''Thanks to you, <player>, the Johto Pokédex is complete!''
:''Wow…''
:''You've done an incredible job!''

* '''National Pokédex complete'''
:''Excellent!''
:''That is an amazing National Pokédex!''
:''Wow…''
:''You've lived up to my expectations wonderfully!''
:''No, you've exceeded them, <player>. You've become an amazing Trainer!''
:''Thank you, <player>!''

* '''After completing both the Johto and National Pokédex:'''
:''You have truly surprised me!''
:''You've more than exceeded my expectations. You've gone far past them in completing the National Pokédex!''
:''I'm speechless…!''
:''Because of this, the world of Pokémon and Trainers is more vast, deeper, and more abundant!''
:''Now there will be no end to Pokémon research!''

===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.

{{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]].

''The leading expert on the study of Pokémon.

'''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.

=====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.

=====Yellow=====
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
Professor Oak catches this {{p|Pikachu}} while stopping Red from beginning his journey without any Pokémon. He later decides to give it to him.

This {{p|Eevee}} was intended for Red but was taken by Blue in his impatience. Its evolutionary path is determined by the player's interactions with its Trainer.

=====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. For obtaining all sixteen [[Badge]]s and defeating {{ga|Red}}, he will give the player one of either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. He also gives the player {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to assist them in navigation through [[Mt. Silver]]. He will also gives the player the National Pokédex before boarding the [[S.S. Aqua]]. Finally, if both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} from HeartGold and SoulSilver are traded into the same game, he will give the player a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Jade Orb}} so that {{p|Rayquaza}} may be caught at the [[Embedded Tower]].

=====Intro=====
:''"Hello, there! Glad to meet you! Welcome to the world of <sc>Pokémon</sc>! My name is <sc>Oak</sc>! People affectionately refer to me as the <sc>Pokémon Professor</sc>. This world… …is inhabited far and wide by creatures called <sc>Pokémon</sc>! For some people, <sc>Pokémon</sc> are pets. Other use them for battling. As for myself… I study <sc>Pokémon</sc> as a profession. But first, tell me a little about yourself. Now tell me. Are you a boy? Or are you a girl? Let's begin with your name. What is it? Right… So your name is <player>. This is my grandson. He's been your rival since you both were babies. …Erm, what was his name now? …Er, was it <rival>? That's right! I remember now! His name is <rival>! <player>! Your own very <sc>Pokémon</sc> legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with <sc>Pokémon</sc> awaits! Let's go!"''

=====[[Pallet Town]]=====
* While trying to get into tall grass:
:''"Hey! Wait! Don't go out! It's unsafe! Wild <sc>Pokémon</sc> live in tall grass! You need your own <sc>Pokémon</sc> for your protection. I know! Here, come with me!"''
* After resuming game after beating rival before receiving National Pokédex, if the Sevii sidequest is not done:
:''"Ah, <player>! You seem to be enjoying traveling. Knowing you, <player>, I can easily imagine you going out to even more exotic locales. Good for you, good for you. Hohoho."''
* After resuming game after beating rival before receiving National Pokédex, if the Sevii sidequest is done with fewer than 60 Pokémon owned:
:''"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."''
* After resuming game after beating rival before receiving National Pokédex, if the Sevii sidequest is done with 60 or more Pokémon owned:
:''"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>!? Now, this is impressive! There's something I wanted to ask of you, <player>. Come. Follow me.

=====[[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!"''

*60-89 Pokémon
:''"Here's a tip on catching Pokémon in the wild. Minimize their HP before you throw your Poké Ball to catch them."''
*90-119 Pokémon
:''"Remember: If you can't catch them, you can always trade for them. As soon as you trade, the Pokémon's data is added to the Pokédex. That's why you should seek out as many trades as possible."''

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?"''

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."''

======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 CHARMANDER?"''

* When checking the Squirtle Poké Ball
:''"So, you've decided on the Water Pokémon SQUIRTLE?"''

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

* 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. Your Pokémon were outstanding, too. Because they believed in you as a Trainer, you persevered. Congratulations, <player>!"''

=====Professor Oak's Laboratory=====
* Upon first meeting
:''"Ah, <player>! It's good of you to come all this way to Kanto. What do you think of the Trainers out here? Pretty tough, huh?"''
* 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?"''
* Via Pokégear while inside Professor Oak's Laboratory
:''"Hello, this is Professor Oak... Hmm... It's strange. I know your voice, <player>, but somehow hearing it over the phone makes it sound so different."''

=====Pokédex evaluation=====
* Via Pokégear
:''"Hello, this is Professor Oak... Oh, hello, <player>! So, how's your Pokédex coming along?"''
:Quit
::''"Show me your Pokédex again anytime!"''
:Evaluate
::''"Hmm, let's see... You've seen <number> Pokémon, and you've caught <number> Pokémon! I see! <evaluation quote> Show me your Pokédex again anytime!"''
*1-9
:''"Look for Pokémon in grassy areas!"''
*10-19
:''"Good. I see you understand how to use Poké Balls."''
*20-34
:''"You're getting good at this. But you have a long way to go."''
*35-49
:''"Hmm, you're catching Pokémon at a decent pace!"''
*50-64
:''"You're trying--I can see that. Your Pokédex is coming together."''
*65-79
:''"You're training them well. You know some Pokémon don't evolve just by battling with others, right?"
*80-94
:''"Do you have a Fishing Rod? There are some Pokémon that can only be found by fishing!"''
*95
:''"Excellent! You seem to be good at collecting things!"''
* '''Johto Pokédex complete'''
:''Wow!''
:''That is a complete Johto Pokédex!''
:''Thanks to you, <player>, the Johto Pokédex is complete!''
:''Wow…''
:''You've done an incredible job!''

* '''National Pokédex complete'''
:''Excellent!''
:''That is an amazing National Pokédex!''
:''Wow…''
:''You've lived up to my expectations wonderfully!''
:''No, you've exceeded them, <player>. You've become an amazing Trainer!''
:''Thank you, <player>!''

* '''After completing both the Johto and National Pokédex:'''
:''You have truly surprised me!''
:''You've more than exceeded my expectations. You've gone far past them in completing the National Pokédex!''
:''I'm speechless…!''
:''Because of this, the world of Pokémon and Trainers is more vast, deeper, and more abundant!''
:''Now there will be no end to Pokémon research!''

===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===

[[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.

'''Machamp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリキー''' ''Kairiky'') is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machoke}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Machop}}.

==Biology==
Machamp is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon with four well-muscled arms. Its skin is bluish gray, and it has red eyes and pale yellow lips. On its head, there are three, brown ridges right above its eyes. It has two arms on each side of its body: a pair located in the normal position, and another pair directly above that attaches on the top of the shoulders. It wears legless black tights along with a golden power-save belt. Its legs have considerable muscle tone, and its feet have two toes.

Machamp punches extremely fast, throwing five hundred punches a second. With only one hand, it can move a mountain. Because of its four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles and pin all of its foe's limbs at once. However, it has poor dexterity, and cannot handle delicate work without its arms becoming tangled. It is a rash Pokémon that rushes into action without forethought. Machamp can be found living in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains.}}

==In the anime==

==In the manga==
[[File:Blue Machamp.png|200px|thumb|Machamp in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Machamp}}
{{adv|Blue}} has a {{TP|Blue|Machamp}} that evolved from Machoke when it was under {{adv|Red}}'s ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by [[trade]]. It was later seen in ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', fighting Red's {{p|Snorlax}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk, then proceeding to hurl it straight into the arena floor and then nearly knocking it out of bounds. Ultimately, Machamp was beaten after Snorlax came back with an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}}, its health level reduced to a third. Blue states he doesn't even need to look at his [[Pokédex]] to see its health level (as included was also a {{m|Toxic}} attack), and calls it back to his ball.

Two years later, [[Bruno]] has a Machamp that, unlike all other Machoke who evolve from trade in this manga, kept on its power-absorbing belt to be used later, and with this power it defeats Red's [[Poli]] before [[Vee]] defeats it as a {{p|Jolteon}} using {{m|Pin Missile}}. It briefly returns in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} to participate in a Pokéathlon match against {{adv|Gold}}.

Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by [[Chuck]] against Blue's {{p|Rhydon}} in ''[[PS161|Entranced by Entei]]''.

Blue later brings Machamp to the [[Sevii Islands]] in [[PS273]], in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on [[Boon Island|Two Island]] with a combination of {{m|Seismic Toss}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, the latter targeting Snorlax's extremely heavy weight, as Blue always deemed the attack perfect for the megaton beast.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Machamp was originally known as "Ju-Doh". This name is a corruption of ''judo'', a fighting style.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a NPC will trade a {{p|Machoke}} for {{p|Cubone}}, which will then evolve to Machamp. This is the only time an [[List of in-game trades|NPC trade]] will result in an evolution in a game released outside of Japan.
** Including games released in Japan, it is one of three trades that will result in an evolution.
* Machamp could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Alakazam}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary family, both were introduced in [[Generation I]], they reach their final stage by [[trading]], and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will trade her Abra in exchange for a Machop.
** Machamp also can be seen as a counterpart to the {{p|Conkeldurr}} evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon whose Attack is their highest stat. They both have below average speed. They share the same base stat total. They both have same gender ratio, they both have three-evolutionary stages, and they both reach their respective final-evolutionary stage through [[Trade|trading]].

===Origin===
Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Seeing as it has more than two arms and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}.

====Name origin====
Machamp may be a combination of ''macho'' ({{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for ''overly masculine'' or ''chauvinist'') and ''champion''. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Akin to {{p|Mr. Mime}}, the masculine attribute has no reflection on gender assignment, as both species can be male and female; however, {{p|Machop}}'s evolutionary line does have a 3:1 male:female ratio, making the species predominantly—but not entirely—male. The name may also incorporate the term ''{{wp|Mach number|Mach}}'', referring to the high speeds at which Machamp can dole out its powerful punches.

Kairiky is a corruption of 怪力 ''kairiki'' (superhuman strength). It is worth noting that ''kairiki'' is the Japanese name of {{m|Strength}}.

'''Hanbei''' (Japanese: '''ハンベエ''') is a [[Warlord]] in [[Pokémon Conquest]].

He, along with [[Kanbei]], is one of [[Hideyoshi]]'s personal advisors and junior Warlords. Despite his appearance, Hanbei is the older of the two.

==In the games==
[[File:Junior Warlord Competition.png|thumb|right|250px|[[Muneshige]], [[Magoichi]], [[Okuni]], [[Tadakatsu]], [[Kanetsugu]], [[Yukimura]], [[Gracia]], and Hanbei]]
{{Spoilers}}
Hanbei and Kanbei do not appear at all during {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Legend of Ransei}}, making their first appearance during Hideyoshi's story: {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|Happily Ever After}}. With their help, Hideyoshi eventually brings Ransei together as one peaceful nation.

In Hanbei's story, {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Reluctant Genius}}, Hideyoshi chooses Hanbei to represent [[Ignis]]. He is also in Kanbei's army at the beginning of Kanbei's story; {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Visionary's Quest}}.

:"''Hey, now... I don't want to talk about that. I just wanted to see what you were really capable of, Lord Kanbei! I wanted to see you...smile!''"
:"''What? Come on, man! There are times when it's all right to smile, you know! Times like this!''"
:"''You're just way too uptight, Lord Kanbei! But I guess you're not going to change. Okay, what's our next mission...?''"

===Profile===
''A genius with truly astonishing brainpower and a confidence that doesn't quite fit his appearance, his dream is to spend every day sleeping.''

==Historical origin==
Hanbei is based on the real-life {{wp|Takenaka Shigeharu}} of Japanese history, who was also known by the name "Hanbei" (半兵衛). He was an expert tactician who successfully executed an uprising against the {{wp|Saitō clan}}. {{wp|Toyotomi Hideyoshi}} was so impressed by Shigeharu's strategy, he invited him to join his army as a strategist.

==Trivia==
* Hanbei has the lowest Power of any Warlord. This is likely a reference to his historical counterpart having tuberculosis, an illness that killed him midway through his life. He is also alluded to be sick during the end of his story, ''{{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest stories|The Reluctant Genius}}''.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to Red going to Mt. Silver to train and leaving him his charge as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Dragon Clan Elder|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

===In the main series===
[[File:Lance anime.png|200px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
Lance is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} there, saving the children from some formidable {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|180px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled against {{TR|Tyson}} and his two Fearow. Despite being an elite member of Team Rocket, his Fearow were no match for Lance's Dragonite.

Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated Team Magma's submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}} that controls Groudon. Lance’s Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding legendary Pokémon.

He made a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|right|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest as {{adv|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

He first appears at Vermilion before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. The {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner was actually his. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned Surf he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling Blaine and Yellow. When Blaine released Mewtwo, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being run too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, Giovanni arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon Lugia, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar (which Silver promptly returned after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak|Oak's}} speech on the radio.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly-revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the legendary legendary Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a Pokédex holder be sent to meet him at the Pokéathlon Dome, so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a Shiny Stone, just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with {{adv|Giovanni}} and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} that were created on the Mystri Stage. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. During the contest, Lance brainwashes the Dragonair and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used two of his Dragonair to shield himself from the lava at Mt. Cerise by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The four Dragonair each serve a purpose: the first is used to cross the seas and skies, the second changes the direction of energy blasts, the third is used to control the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is used to combine its attack and fight the opponents. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a very few times.

However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[File:Lance PM.png|thumb|145px|Lance in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}. Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier Generation I.png|200px|thumb|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide Gold.png|200px|thumb|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
[[File:Lance Team Magma.png|right|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Magma Grunt]]
* In the games, Lance is depicted as being from [[Blackthorn City]], but the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicts Lance as being from [[Viridian Forest]] (albeit of Blackthorn descent).
* Lance has battles with two [[Game move errors|illegal]] Pokémon: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} and the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. All six of his Pokémon have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type.
** Additionally, the non-Dragon-type Pokémon used by Lance in the main series ({{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Charizard}}) are all part Flying-type, as well as partially or fully resembling dragons.
* Lance is the only member of the Johto Elite Four who, on the second time through, still does not have a team of only his type, with Charizard and Gyarados not being Dragon types.
** Additionally, both of them are part Flying-type Pokémon.
* In the {{Pkmn|anime}}, Lance disguised himself as a member of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] twice, as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution]]'', and later as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a single battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}) so far. Furthermore, the Tag Battle with him against [[Ariana]] and a Grunt can be seen parallel to the Tag Battle the player has with [[Steven Stone]] in {{game|Emerald}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* Despite taking place three years later, Lance's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing occurs with [[Bruno]].
* Lance appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a Dragonite in battle.
* From Generations {{Gen|I}} to {{Gen|III}}, all of his Pokémon know {{m|Hyper Beam}}. This was no longer the case from [[Generation IV]] onwards, possibly because Hyper Beam was changed to a [[special move]], along with a much larger high-damaging movepool that doesn't have the side-effects of Hyper Beam.
* Although Lance is the Champion in all Johto-based games, he does not use any Generation II Pokémon in these games. However, he uses a {{p|Kingdra}} in the rematches in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Lance's Gyarados, Charizard and Dragonite can appear to level down, if the player decides to battle him and [[Clair]] in [[Dragon's Den]] before collecting all 16 Badges and the Elite Four upgrading their teams in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as they are level 68 - 75 in the [[Tag Battle]] and are level 48 - 50 when re-challenged at the [[Indigo League]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, in the [[Mahogany Town]] souvenir store, Lance commands his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, yet the attack Dragonite uses more closely resembles {{m|Giga Impact}}.
* In the manga, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create an utopia for Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IV]], all of his Pokémon except {{p|Aerodactyl}} suffer double weakness. {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Dragonite}} suffer double weakness against {{t|Ice}} type, {{p|Gyarados}} for {{t|Electric}} type, and {{p|Charizard}} with {{t|Rock}} type.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Champion Lance Tournament|outside]] of the [[Champions Tournament]].
* Lance has used almost every [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced so far, with the exception of {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Goodra}}.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to Red going to Mt. Silver to train and leaving him his charge as Champion.
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the [[Dragon Clan Elder|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

* After being defeated
:''"I still can’t believe my dragons lost to you, <player>! You’re now the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion! …Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead.

I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''
*If answered yes
:''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.

===In the main series===
[[File:Lance anime.png|200px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
Lance is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} there, saving the children from some formidable {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|180px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]
Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled against {{TR|Tyson}} and his two Fearow. Despite being an elite member of Team Rocket, his Fearow were no match for Lance's Dragonite.

Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated Team Magma's submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}} that controls Groudon. Lance’s Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding legendary Pokémon.

He made a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|right|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest as {{adv|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

He first appears at Vermilion before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. The {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner was actually his. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned Surf he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling Blaine and Yellow. When Blaine released Mewtwo, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being run too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, Giovanni arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon Lugia, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar (which Silver promptly returned after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak|Oak's}} speech on the radio.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly-revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the legendary legendary Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a Pokédex holder be sent to meet him at the Pokéathlon Dome, so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.

After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a Shiny Stone, just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.

As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with {{adv|Giovanni}} and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} that were created on the Mystri Stage. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.

It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.

|desc=These {{p|Dragonair}} are Lance's mainly-used ones in his Dragonair army. One of them first appeared in a Surfing Contest as a prize. During the contest, Lance brainwashes the Dragonair and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used two of his Dragonair to shield himself from the lava at Mt. Cerise by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The four Dragonair each serve a purpose: the first is used to cross the seas and skies, the second changes the direction of energy blasts, the third is used to control the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is used to combine its attack and fight the opponents. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a very few times.

However, this plan did not work as Lance was eventually beaten, and the Badge Amplifier energy Lugia had absorbed transferred to the soils of mainland Kanto, where it would spread life instead of bringing about death. As a result, it fled from Lance.

It was seen again in the [[Whirl Islands]] where it was on a rampage after being controlled by the [[Masked Man]], who caught it just as {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} were about to. Using its {{m|Aeroblast}} with {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s {{m|Sacred Fire}} to demolish the league, the two remained nearly unstoppable until {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Raikou}} appeared alongside [[Misty|their]] [[Blaine|new]] [[Lt.

Lance appears in ''[[PM036|Space Havoc!!]]'' as a regular Elite Four member. {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} meets him while on his trip in outer space. Lance gives Red three tests for him to handle. While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on. After the shuttle got destroyed, Lance flew away on his Dragonite while {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} had to deal with an upset {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}}. Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.

==Trivia==
[[File:Lance Dragonite Barrier Generation I.png|200px|thumb|Lance's Dragonite using {{m|Barrier}} in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Lance Aerodactyl Rock Slide Gold.png|200px|thumb|Lance's Aerodactyl using {{m|Rock Slide}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
[[File:Lance Team Magma.png|right|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Magma Grunt]]
* In the games, Lance is depicted as being from [[Blackthorn City]], but the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga depicts Lance as being from [[Viridian Forest]] (albeit of Blackthorn descent).
* Lance has battles with two [[Game move errors|illegal]] Pokémon: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} and the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. All six of his Pokémon have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type.
** Additionally, the non-Dragon-type Pokémon used by Lance in the main series ({{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Charizard}}) are all part Flying-type, as well as partially or fully resembling dragons.
* Lance is the only member of the Johto Elite Four who, on the second time through, still does not have a team of only his type, with Charizard and Gyarados not being Dragon types.
** Additionally, both of them are part Flying-type Pokémon.
* In the {{Pkmn|anime}}, Lance disguised himself as a member of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] twice, as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution]]'', and later as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a single battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}) so far. Furthermore, the Tag Battle with him against [[Ariana]] and a Grunt can be seen parallel to the Tag Battle the player has with [[Steven Stone]] in {{game|Emerald}} against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]].
* Despite taking place three years later, Lance's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II than they were in Generation I. The same thing occurs with [[Bruno]].
* Lance appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a Dragonite in battle.
* From Generations {{Gen|I}} to {{Gen|III}}, all of his Pokémon know {{m|Hyper Beam}}. This was no longer the case from [[Generation IV]] onwards, possibly because Hyper Beam was changed to a [[special move]], along with a much larger high-damaging movepool that doesn't have the side-effects of Hyper Beam.
* Although Lance is the Champion in all Johto-based games, he does not use any Generation II Pokémon in these games. However, he uses a {{p|Kingdra}} in the rematches in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Lance's Gyarados, Charizard and Dragonite can appear to level down, if the player decides to battle him and [[Clair]] in [[Dragon's Den]] before collecting all 16 Badges and the Elite Four upgrading their teams in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as they are level 68 - 75 in the [[Tag Battle]] and are level 48 - 50 when re-challenged at the [[Indigo League]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, in the [[Mahogany Town]] souvenir store, Lance commands his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} to use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, yet the attack Dragonite uses more closely resembles {{m|Giga Impact}}.
* In the manga, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create an utopia for Pokémon.
* In [[Generation IV]], all of his Pokémon except {{p|Aerodactyl}} suffer double weakness. {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, and {{p|Dragonite}} suffer double weakness against {{t|Ice}} type, {{p|Gyarados}} for {{t|Electric}} type, and {{p|Charizard}} with {{t|Rock}} type.
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Champion Lance Tournament|outside]] of the [[Champions Tournament]].
* Lance has used almost every [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced so far, with the exception of {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Goodra}}.

'''Salamence''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボーマンダ''' ''Bohmander'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shelgon}} starting at [[level]] 50. It is the final form of {{p|Bagon}}.

==Biology==
Salamence is a quadruped, draconic Pokémon with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a gray lower jaw and thickly scaled underside. There are red markings on its throat, the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its legs. Additionally, there are raised red ridges above its eyes. Three flat spines protrude from either side of its head, somewhat resembling external gills. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Each of its short legs has three claws. This Pokémon’s powerful desire to fly triggered a mutation that allowed it to grow large, red wings. As an expression of joy, it flies around and releases blasts of fire. However, when it is angry, it will shred things with its claws in addition to release fire blasts. This Pokémon is found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Tucker Salamence Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Art of {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}}'s Salamence from [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
When {{adv|Ruby}} was a child, he {{pkmn|battle}}d a Salamence that attacked him and {{adv|Sapphire}} while the two were playing outside. After being defeated by Ruby (and having scarred his forehead with its {{m|Dragon Claw}} in the process), the Salamence went on a rampage and destroyed a lab, freeing {{p|Rayquaza}}, which was in captivity at that time, in the process. This resulted in [[Norman]] being banned from the Gym Leader test for five years. This encounter changed both Ruby and Sapphire and their views on Pokémon, as well as themselves. In Ruby's case, he felt he was too strong, and in order to keep himself back, he focused on [[Pokémon Contests]]. Sapphire, on the other hand, felt weak after the encounter and decided she had to become stronger, and spent much of her time in the wild honing her battle skills.

Years later, in the {{chap|Emerald}}, [[Dome Ace Tucker]] is shown to be in possession of another Salamence, with which he defeats Sapphire. While Sapphire acknowledges the man's overwhelming skill, she also adds that such a Pokémon is a hard one to fight against with her phobic old experience many years back.

He aided his companions in pursuing the player and their partner, but was outmaneuvered by Hydreigon.

'''Mauville City''' (Japanese: '''キンセツシティ''' ''Kinsetsu City'') is located in central [[Hoenn]] and serves as the hub for travelers throughout the Hoenn region. The city features a [[Game Corner]] and [[Rydel's Cycles]]. [[Wattson]] is the [[Gym Leader]] and founder of Mauville. He originally had plans to do a complete overhaul of the town, but abandoned them.

The roads of the town stretch north to {{rt|111|Hoenn}}, west to {{rt|117|Hoenn}} and [[Verdanturf Town]], east to a beach on {{rt|118|Hoenn}}, and south to {{rt|110|Hoenn}}.

==Places of interest==
[[File:Mauville City RS.png|thumb|170px|left|Mauville City in Ruby and Sapphire]]
===Rydel's Cycles===
{{main|Rydel's Cycles}}

A bike shop is located in Mauville City which is called [[Rydel's Cycles]]. It is very conveniently located for the owner and customers alike, as the [[Seaside Cycling Road]] runs on {{rt|110|Hoenn}}, just to the south. [[Rydel]] sells {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}s and {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}}s. However, he will give the {{player}} a bike for free after he finds out that the player have come all the way from [[Littleroot Town]] with just [[Running Shoes]]. The player may exchange their bike with the owner for the other bike.

===Mauville Game Corner===
{{main|Mauville Game Corner}}

The [[Mauville Game Corner]] also draws tourists in. At the Game Corner, people can gamble coins on slots or roulette. This game corner houses two roulette wheels and sixteen slot machines. A [[Coin Case]] is needed to play at the game corner, which can also be found in one of the houses at Mauville City, in exchange for Harbor Mail.

===Mauville Gym===
{{main|Mauville Gym}}

The Mauville Gym specializes in {{type|Electric}}s. Wattson, the Gym leader hands out the Dynamo Badge to players who defeat him. The Gym contains electric dividers that turn on or off when different switches are stepped on.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the population of Mauville City is 39. This number means it is a medium-sized [[Hoenn]] city.

'''Grassy Terrain''' (Japanese: '''グラスフィールド''' ''Grass Field'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

==Effect==
Grassy Terrain creates terrain that restores the {{stat|HP}} of grounded Pokémon by 1/16 at the end of each turn and increases the power of Grass-type moves used by grounded Pokémon by 50%. The terrain fades after five turns.

The terrain does not affect {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, those with the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, Pokémon holding an {{DL|In-battle effect item|Air Balloon}}, or Pokémon affected by {{m|Magnet Rise}} or {{m|Telekinesis}}.

If Grassy Terrain is in effect, {{m|Nature Power}} becomes {{m|Energy Ball}}, {{m|Secret Power}} uses the animation of {{m|Vine Whip}} and may cause {{status|sleep}}, and {{m|Camouflage}} causes the user to become {{type|Grass}}.

Grassy Terrain also activates the Ability {{a|Grass Pelt}}.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Grass}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|XY}}|The user turns the ground under everyone's feet to grass for five turns. This restores the HP of Pokémon on the ground a little every turn.}}

Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.: /* Thunder */

== Origin ==
Fennekin is based on a {{wp|Fennec fox}} ;) --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 12:54, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

== Name ==

i think its fennel and vixen not kitten! [[User:Badwolf1234|Badwolf1234]] ([[User talk:Badwolf1234|talk]]) 13:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:I agree, definetly makes more sense than kitten --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 13:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Maybe more fennec and kind (child in german) [[User:Milde|Milde]] ([[User talk:Milde|talk]]) 16:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

:I think its also possible that the kin part is derived from Kitsune. Drop the Tsu and e and you got kin. It also might be from Kinetic as in Kinetic energy.

:Another possibility is that Kin is from Kindred as in Kindred Spirit. We all know Foxes and Sprites go hand in hand in japan. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

::I'm fairly confident that it's Fennec and '''Kin'''dle, guys. It's the fire starter, after all, you'd expect its name to reference fire in some way. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] ([[User talk:Aielyn|talk]]) 00:16, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

:::Think its Japanese name might be a pun on "[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/focus#Latin focus]", the Latin word for "fireplace", or its many descendants in Romance languages which mean "fire", such as the Italian "fuoco". [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 16:13, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
::::Anyway, because of the template, we don't need its Japanese name in the name origin section. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 16:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

:::::I think "kin" is from "tele-kinesis" or "psycho-kinesis". It will be confirmed if it's revealed that it's second type is Psychic, however. [[User:Tano|Tano]] [[User talk:Tano]] 18:26, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
::::::All 3 starters have been confirmed to be pure Fire/Water/Grass types in their first forms so I'm not sure how accurate this is. It's evolution may still be part Psychic-type though so we'll just have to wait and see! [[User:Noah★|Noah★]] ([[User talk:Noah★|talk]]) 04:11, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

:::::::'Kin', also might come from, well, [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kin 'kin'] as in family/relations/breed (as in your next of kin). Making the name mean more or less mean Fennic family/species. Kin being the word that kindred, akin, and kind (as in mankind) are derived from. [[User:senefen|senefen]]

==Regional dex number==
I think after 5 gens of games, its safe to say that it's Pokedex number will be 004 for its regional dex spot. In all the games, the first fire starter has always been 004 in their regional dex. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:05, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:We also thought that {{p|Snivy}} ''must'' be #494 in the Ndex, and {{p|Victini|look what happened}}. - ''signed comment from [[User:GoldenCelebi|GoldenCelebi]] ([[User talk:GoldenCelebi|pedia talk]] • [[Bulbanews:User talk:GoldenCelebi|news talk]] • [[a:User talk:GoldenCelebi|archives talk]])'' ''22:49, 9 January 2013 (UTC)''
::Snivy may not have been 494 in the National Dex, but he was still 001 in the Unova Dex. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|talk]]) 14:31, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Whose to say they won't switch it around? Wait until more information is revealed.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:33, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
:: We're not talking about the National Dex, we're talking about the Regional Dex. After 5 generations, the starters have always followed the same template. The grass has always been 001, 002 and 003, the Fire 004, 005, 006 and the water 007, 008 and 009. Even when Victini came in and messed with the template some to be 000, it still didn't oust Snivy from the 001 spot or Tepig from the 004 spot.

:: In Gen I, Charmander was 004, Gen II Cyndaquil 004, Gen III Torchic 004, Gen IV Chimchar 004 and Gen 5 Tepig 004 The reason they always give the starters and their evolutions the first 9 spots of the dex is because they're the first Pokémon you get. So with that said, I think its safe to say we can give Fennekin the 004. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 04:52, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

:::So what? It may change. It's unlikely but possible. Just wait until it is confirmed. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 06:53, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

== Stock Image ==
Can we please put this image instead of the other image? http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/thumb/1/11/Fennekin.png/81px-Fennekin.png the current one looks like it was crushed by two walls.{{unsigned|Invert™}}
:It's the same file, but for some reason it doesn't update G_G --[[User:PenblooeR|Pen]][[User talk:PenblooeR|BlooeR]] 18:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::The server will update the image itself, please be patient. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 18:21, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

==Type==
Although we obviously can't make any assumptions and put them on the Fennekin page, would it be safe to say that it is a Fire/Psychic type? The move that it used against the Kirlia in the trailer looked a lot like a psychic type move. [[User:Cafeolay|Cafeolay]] ([[User talk:Cafeolay|talk]]) 23:28, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:Not yet. Besides, most Pokémon used moves that don't get STAB. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:33, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::*I.E. [[Psyduck]] and [[Golduck]]. They learn Psychic moves and they aren't Psychic-types. Also, is there any confirmation that it was a psychic attack? Seriously, I'm curious if there was. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 23:41, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::Yeah I realize that it may not be a psychic type, I'm just putting the idea out there. The Psyduck/Golduck analogy is actually a great example. [[User:Cafeolay|Cafeolay]] ([[User talk:Cafeolay|talk]]) 23:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
::::* Thanks. LOL. I'm assuming that this site goes off of confirmed/official info, though it isn't a bad thought. It probably is best to just wait until something official is release on the types and evolutions. But here's to wishful thinking and hopefully not having another Fire/Fighting type starter. XD Until then, I'm guessing we'll have to wait and see. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 23:55, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
:::::* To break the Fire-Fighting cycle, I could imagine the final evolution as half-ground. Given that Grass-Ground (Torterra) and Water-Ground (Swampert) already exist, it's a no-brainer. [[User:FalafelC|FalafelC]] ([[User talk:FalafelC|talk]]) 08:17, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
::::::* Hasn't it already been officially confirmed that Fennekin is a pure [[Fire]] type by various official Pokémon sources? As for its evolutions, it is too early to say anyway.--[[User:ShinyPatch|ShinyPatch]] ([[User talk:ShinyPatch|talk]]) 10:12, 7 July 2013 (UTC)

== Design Origin ==

Shouldn't we add that it appears to be based on a fennec fox?
--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 01:31, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== Fennekin evo? ==

Found this http://oi46.tinypic.com/dng07s.jpg obvious speculation, has anything been revealed?[[User:Prinben|Prinben]] ([[User talk:Prinben|talk]]) 20:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:Very obvious fake; it says "HeartGold & SoulSilver" in top right.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 20:07, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== Kitsune may also be likely origin ==

Besides being based on a fennec fox in regards to its appearance, I also believe that Fennekin may also be based on a kitsune in mind. It's not uncommon in Japanese mythology of kitsune foxes being able to wield fire power, or 'fox fire' as it is sometimes called. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] ([[User talk:Rai Marshall|talk]]) 21:15, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:'''Maybe''', but weren't {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} also based off of Kitsunes and they weren't Fire-Types at all. We'll have to see. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 22:13, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
::I also think Fennekin is based off Kitsune. Before Fennekin, there was some {{type|Fire}} foxes such as {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and the legendary {{p|Victini}}. However, only {{p|Ninetales}} were actually based off Kitsune, especially Nine Tailed Fox, and I think Flareon was more of a dog, and Victini was more of a rabbit than a fox (although it was also based on a fennec fox like {{p|Eevee}} and Fennekin). [[User:SpecialStageRoute|Special Stage Route]] ([[User talk:SpecialStageRoute|pit stop]]) 09:44, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

:::In regards to Zorua and Zoroark, yes they aren't fire types. Not all kitsune in mythology are depicted to wield the powers of fire, but 'fox fire' is still a fairly common thing. As for Vulpix, it's still based on a kitsune, but based on a young kitsune that hasn't reached full maturity. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] ([[User talk:Rai Marshall|talk]]) 22:57, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
:::* I'm not saying that you are wrong, I'm just saying we should wait until we get more info. Never was sure if {{p|Flareon}} was a fox or not...or a dog, looked like a fox, I suppose. If so, I guess it can prove the fact that we shouldn't assume any fox-like fire-types are automatically based on kitsunes. Though I do have a feeling that is the direction they will take with Fennekin (really its evolutions more than Fennekin itself), but we'll still have to see what happens. ----[[User:NateVirus|NateVirus]]''([[User talk:NateVirus|Talk]]''|''[[Special:Contributions/NateVirus|Contributions]]'') 00:55, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

== Catch-rate info==
How come the article says that there's a -1% catch-rate and not 0% like the other two starters? I feel it should be changed to 0% to match the others. [[User:Uncle Edit|Uncle Edit]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 01:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

== German Name ==

Its German name "Fynx" is very likely based on the English word "lynx". The first letter "F" could be based on "Fuchs" (fox), "Fennek" (fennec) or "Feuer" (fire). Maybe someone can add "lynx" to the German meaning? --[[User:Perlgia|Perlgia]] ([[User talk:Perlgia|talk]]) 09:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

== Special abilities ==

Should be added that "it can radiate heat from it's ears up to temperatures of 200°C" in the Special Abilities section. Also that it "carries it's favourite food around with it to eat as a snack" in a section (Not sure which). --[[User:S2daam|--samm :)]] ([[User talk:S2daam|talk]]) 11:01, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Should be listed underneath the '''Diet''' heading. Also, does it list a specific food or does it just state "it carries it's favourite food"? --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 17:24, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

== Twigs ==

The official site claims Fennekin likes to eat twigs. Could we add that to it's diet section? --[[User:Relicant|'''Reli'''★'''ジーランス''']]'''?''' 15:33, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Recently, the pokemon website added more info on pokemon X and pokemon Y. They gave off a picture of the pokemon X and pokemon Y pokemon summary interface. There, a Lv. 5 fennekin can be seen with the moves scratch, tail whit and ember, and another shot of the same thing, except Fennekin is Lv. 11 and it knows howl. Is it worth it to add a learnset? Something like (and this is just me, being lazy and not changing much);

:We never add moveset templates until the games have been released, because there are many things we don't know: The movesets may not be final, Howl and even Ember may be TM/Tutor/Egg moves, Scratch and Ember may have different base power/accuracy, we don't know when it learns the first three moves etc. Also, I altered the template because it had redlinks.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 12:20, 15 May 2013 (UTC)

::Just pointing out that Ember doesn't have to be an egg move to be learned at level 1, it could just be a regular level up move that they breeded on to it to signify it's type. Also, scratch is almost definitely a basic move, since every starter has either Tackle or Scratch as it's starting move. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsandIVsaurs]] 13:37, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

== Korean name for Fennekin ==

Until the page gets unlocked... here's Fennekin's [http://pokemonxy.pokemonkorea.co.kr/pokemon_02.html Korean name]: 푸호꼬 ''Puho'kko'' -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 02:54, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
:Took me a little bit, but here's what ''Puho'kko'''s name (most likely) comes from:
:* fuoco (Italian for fire; which would be rendered in Korean as 푸오코)
:* 호 ''ho'' (狐, fox)
:* 꼬마 ''kkoma'' (a tiny thing, small child)
:It's sort of a translation of its Japanese name... though not the English word "fox" part (as "fox" would be rendered as 폭스 ''pok'seu'') -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 04:15, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

== Red Fox ==

Fennekin also shares some traits with the red fox. These are the cat-like eyes, white muzzle and cheek fur, and colored tip on it's tail.

== For the record... ==

Fennekin's Kalos Pokedex number is probably #4, and its National Pokedex number is probably #653. {{unsigned|CrazyMagmar}} 23:25, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

== Pokedex Sprites ==

If you look closely at the upper right of the image of the Kalos Pokedex you can see a sprite of Fennekin. Maybe a pixel artist could copy this for the places where this sprite is used. (Not complaining or anything, just an idea). --[[User:Ziggyangelo88|Ziggyangelo88]] ([[User talk:Ziggyangelo88|talk]]) 08:34, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

== Fennekin's ears ==

Real life fennec foxes feature their characteristic ears as a means to dissipate heat in their hot desert environments. According to information on this very page, Fennekin releases hot flames from these ears. Would it be a fair proposal to add the inspiration from the real life fennec's ears in the 'Origin' section?

:"''Masamune is at your service!''"

===Profile===
Earnest and cheerful, with soaring ambitions that he refuses to let anyone dampen.

==Historical origin==
Masamune is based on the real-life {{wp|Date Masamune}} of Japanese history. {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Yoshi}} was his mother and {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Iroha}} was his daughter. {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Kagetsuna}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Tsunamoto}}, and {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Shigezane}} were three of his most faithful retainers, the latter also his cousin. {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Munetoki}} and {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Tsunenaga}} were also retainers. {{DL|List of Pokémon Conquest characters|Munezane}} served both Masamune's father ({{wp|Date Terumune}}, who is not in the game) and Shigezane.

==Trivia==
*His [[Warrior Skill]] (One-Eyed Dragon) and the title of his story (The Dragon's Dream) come from his historical nickname: the ''One-eyed Dragon'' (独眼竜).

== Kids' WB! ==

Did this happen anywhere else besides Newfoundland? In St. John's, up until the mid-2000s we could always hear The WB, but never see it. It wasn't your normal grey pixelated mess, it was the actual broadcast all jumbled. Sometimes it looked alright for a few seconds. It was like this everywhere in SJ, not just my house. I don't believe you could buy these channels unless you had digital cable or satellite, so I'm not sure why they were there. These channels were in the 60s and 70s, but buying the full cable package got you from 2-59. Moving on, every place I visited in NL (which is alot of places) besides St. John's and the surrounding area actually had The WB as a legit channel. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 19:13, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
:I've never heard of anything like that. O_o not that I don't believe you, but I've never seen that before. We don't have The WB in Toronto (unless, y'know, I just don't know people who do have it) [[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 18:15, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
::I was always looking forward to travelling around in the summer because I would be able to watch the new Pokemon episodes ^^. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 18:17, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
:Interestingly enough, Here in Hamilton, Ontario, we have had WB ever since pokemon debuted pretty much, and nothing like what you explained happened over here. Right now, I have a dish network satteleite system and can get Cartoon network. Just incase a storm comes, I have basic cable package from cogeco cable so I am able to get YTV as well. I have never seen this happen on both my cable provider and my dish, so long story short, the WB problem must have been very localized from where you live. [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 23:03, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

== Pokemon.ca ==

It gets redirected to Pokemon.com. Worth mentioning? I think it would be nice to have a link to the country's Pokemon site in the infobox, too. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 18:11, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
:Hm I just tried it, and it doesn't anymore...used to. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 18:12, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

==Am I seeing things?==
It.s Friday December 11, and Instead of "The lonely snover" being aired, Advanced Battle came on on YTV. Anyone else see this. It is airing as I am typing this. - [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 13:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
:Ahhh I have no idea, I was already on my way to work by then and I never remember to tape it. D: I guess one of us should try to catch (or tape) Monday's show and see if that's AB, too? [[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 00:34, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
::Look [http://www.tvguide.animeinternational.com/ Here] and it prove that they started AB. - [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 01:10, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
:::So are they airing AB now instead of GB? [[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
::::<nowiki>**</nowiki>all the time or just on weekdays? [[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 02:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

==On Demand==
On YTV On Demand there WAS some Pokémon episodes, I think there was the one where Iris meets Georgia, and Excadrill listens to Iris and a few other Black and White episodes, should we change it to say they do put Pokémon on YTV on demand?

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon X and Y}}
'''Pokémon X''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターＸ''' ''Pocket Monsters X'') and '''Pokémon Y''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターＹ''' ''Pocket Monsters Y'') are the primary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation VI]]. The games are available on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The games take place in the new [[Kalos]] region.

Both games were revealed during a worldwide announcement by [[Satoru Iwata]] through [[Nintendo Direct]] at 8 pm JST, on January 8, 2013. The paired versions were released worldwide (except for select countries) on October 12, 2013 and are available for both retail sale and download.<ref>[http://www.famitsu.com/news/201301/08026993.html 『ポケットモンスターＸ・Ｙ』ニンテンドー3DSで2013年10月、世界同時発売【画像追加】] (Japanese)</ref> All copies of the game are playable in all seven of the languages that the Pokémon games are released in: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Korean.


==Features==
===3D compatible gameplay===
Unlike previous games in the main series, Pokémon X and Y feature a three dimensional style of gameplay, and 3D modeled characters and creatures are used, rather than sprites like has always been done in the main series. In addition, the games still feature 2D elements of gameplay. The battle system is aesthetically overhauled, featuring more lively reactions to the attacks, such as when a Pokémon is being hit.

===Move Name Formatting===
Some moves, such as Thunder Shock, are now differently formatted. In Generations V and earlier, the move was named "ThunderShock". In Generation VI, however, it is Thunder Shock. Other moves have also been reformatted.

===Transportation===
Players can now walk on an 8 directional grid, allowing diagonal movement, as opposed to the four way grid in previous games.

The player now has the ability to rollerskate, at least under certain conditions, and have been shown to allow the player to grind and overcome [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]]. {{p|Skiddo}}, {{p|Mamoswine}}, and {{p|Rhyhorn}} can be ridden in certain locations and allow the player to interact with the environment, by destroying rocks and crossing broken paths. {{p|Gogoat}} can also be ridden, although only around [[Lumiose City]] in a set path.

===Player Search System===
{{main|Player Search System}}
The Player Search System (PSS) is a multiplayer feature that allows people to connect, battle, and trade with other players through the internet. It uses the bottom screen and allows the player to search for other people playing both globally and locally.

===Pokémon-Amie===
{{main|Pokémon-Amie}}
Pokémon-Amie is a new feature that allows the player to develop stronger bonds with their Pokémon. It uses the touch screen to allow players to pet, feed, and play with Pokémon currently on their team. Players may interact with their Pokémon by petting or feeding them via the touchscreen or mimicking their movements using the camera.

===Sky Battles===
{{main|Sky Battle}}
Sky Battles are battles which are restricted to {{t|Flying}} Pokémon, although some Pokémon with {{a|Levitate}} can enter. These airborne battles take place against Trainers standing far away, such as on cliffs.

===Horde Encounters===
{{main|Horde Encounter}}
It is now possible to encounter several wild Pokémon at once. Up to five wild Pokémon will battle against one of the player's Pokémon. These battles offer a lot of experience. Some attacks, such as {{m|Rock Slide}}, are shown to hit all five of the opposing Pokémon. However, after the player's turn, their Pokémon must withstand attacks from all five of the opposing Pokémon.

===Super Training===
{{main|Super Training}}
Super Training is a new method of quickly and easily increasing a Pokémon's [[Effort values|EVs]].

===New type===
{{main|Fairy (type)}}
One new [[type]] has been introduced, the {{t|Fairy}} type. This type was added to balance the {{t|Dragon}} type, which was previously only weak to itself and {{t|Ice}}. Fairy-type attacks are strong against {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}} types and resisted by {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Poison}}, and {{t|Steel}} types; Fairy-type Pokémon are weak to Poison- and Steel-type attacks, resist Fighting-, {{t|Bug}}-, and Dark-type attacks, and are immune to Dragon-type attacks.

===Trainer customization===
{{main|Trainer customization}}
The player will now be able to change their appearance in-game, allowing them to customize their characters by changing their hair color and [[clothing]].

===Gyms===
X and Y feature [[Gym]]s just as every other main series title. In Kalos, the Gym Leaders are [[Viola]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Grant]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Korrina]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Ramos]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Clemont]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Valerie]] ({{t|Fairy}}), [[Olympia]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Wulfric]] ({{t|Ice}}).

===Elite Four and Champion===
Just as in Unova, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Wikstrom]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Malva]] ({{t|Fire}}), [[Drasna]] ({{t|Dragon}}), and [[Siebold]] ({{t|Water}}). After beating all four Elite Four members, the player will face the Champion, [[Diantha]], who uses a variety of types along with a {{p|Gardevoir}} which can Mega Evolve.

===Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation VI Pokémon]]''
69 new Pokémon were introduced for X and Y, bringing the known total from 649 to 718.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} on January 8, 2013.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution}}
A unique state, Mega Evolutions are available exclusively in battle and allow for a temporary boost in stats, in some cases changing their {{Abilities}} and [[type]]s. The ability to Mega Evolve will not be available to all Pokémon. The Pokémon can transform if it is holding a [[Mega Stone]] in battle, once the Trainer has a [[Mega Ring]] and a Key Stone in his or her possession.

Feint Attack inflicts damage, and is unaffected by modifications to the {{stat|accuracy}} stat or {{stat|evasion}} stat. It will not hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}}.

==Border==
I've brought this up before about the horrid border coloration, but it has still stayed in place. I have an idea, in that we could colour it white and blue, like his clothing. It would look so much nicer. Torngentleman2 10:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:That would probably be good. Why the box colors are those of Pikachu is quite puzzling. --[[User:Jda95|'''jda''']][[User talk:Jda95|'''95''']] 10:06, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
::I think they are the colors of the Red and Yellow games; because Ash is based on Red and Yellow was based on the anime.

::PS: Torngentleman2, you are not allowed to have images in your signature. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:12, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Now that I'm looking at it, that would look much nicer. --[[User:Nathan2055|Nathan2055]][[User Talk:Nathan2055|talk]] 15:58, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
::::[[User:Kenji-girl/Sandbox|Thoughts?]] I personally like example 2. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:45, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::I love Example 3. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:39, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::Now for me it's a close call between number 2 & number 4, I think the yellow is good to have, honestly though, I like them all more than the current colours [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 01:01, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

:Unless Ash specifically gave Reshiram/Zekrom commands, then they're just like all of the other legendaries he's befriended and worked with.

== Ash's Gliscor ==

:Everyone is being needlessly picky and saying that we don't have confirmation that Gliscor went back into training. I argued on [[Talk:Ash's Gliscor]] that on one of Charizard's reappearances it was not confirmed that it went back to the Valley until it appeared next, yet that appears not to be a problem.

== Pikachu in Rotation? ==

OK, I know there has already been a big dispute over stuff like this, but I don't think it makes sense to say Pikachu is in rotation.

Another Trivia piece if you don't mind......

Every time Ash battles and defeats a rival, he constantly loses to the next one in league tournaments, usually because his opponents are older, more experienced trainers with Pokémon that Ash has never seen or battled before.

Other than the Orange League, Ash has never won a league tournament.

Ash seems to catch less Pokémon when he is traveling with a new trainer.
While traveling with May he caught 6 Pokémon, and while traveling with Dawn he caught 5 and obtained Buizel by trading with Dawn.
While traveling with Misty he caught 18 Pokémon not counting Pikachu which he obtained by Professor Oak, and so far while traveling with Cilan and Iris he has caught 7 Pokémon and hatched Scraggy from an egg.

If you remember in the Sinnoh League during his rounds the party of Ash changed continously according to the pokemon he used in the league battles.Why don't we do the same in the Unova League.We may put in ''On hand'' the pokemon that he is using against [[Cameron]]. [[User:Alexsummer|★Alex★]] [[User talk:Alexsummer|Water]] 22:42, 23 December 2012 (UTC)
:I doesn't really make sense to have to continually edit his party everytime a new episode airs. It's too much to keep track of.

== Pokemon Team Rotation ==

It says "In the Unova region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at Professor Juniper's lab, much like he did with his Kingler and Muk in Kanto with Professor Oak.", but this is incorrect. He's never had Kingler on his team. It went directly to Professor Oak and has only been used in league competitions. Muk was sent to Professor Oak because of its strong smell and, again, has only been used in Pokemon league competition. Someone should change this. [[User:MattySadler]]

Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.: spam?

:''This article is about Pokémon, also known as Pocket Monsters, as a series. For other uses of the words, see [[Pokémon (disambiguation)]]''.
----
[[File:Pokémon logo English.png|250px|thumb|right|International logo of the Pokémon franchises]]
'''Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'', '''ポケモン''' ''Pokémon'' for short) is an overarching media franchise by [[Nintendo]], first appearing in 1996 with the release of its [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|first entries]]. The [[Version|game series]] has since inspired an array of media, including an [[Pokémon anime|animation]], a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|card game]], numerous {{pkmn|manga}}, as well as various [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] games.

The series focus on the creatures known as {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as well as their inhabited {{Pkmn|world}}, one full of legends, tales, and adventures. Several [[canon|interpretations]] of the world explore different themes and elements. Most commonly, Pokémon coexist with [[human]]s and can be {{Pkmn2|caught}}, [[Pokémon training|trained]] and used in {{Pkmn|battle}}s and other activities. {{Pkmn|Trainer}}s, along with their Pokémon, travel across diverse [[region|lands]], aiming to make their dreams become reality.

==Etymology==
[[File:RedGreenMenu.png|frame|right|The Game Boy's limited screen forced short words.]]
Much as happens with many other {{wp|wasei-eigo|words and phrases borrowed from English}}, the Japanese name for the series, Pocket Monsters, became contracted into "Pockemon" during the development of the original games, likely as much for convenience when referring to it as to save on screen real estate, considering the small size of the [[Game Boy]]'s screen. The official romanization of "Pockemon" at this time was derived from the contraction of '''Pocke'''t and '''Mon'''ster, and can be seen explicitly in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', even in the dub.

The "Pokémon" name used today came about during the translation of the games for an English audience during 1997 and 1998. Whereas in Japan, Pocket Monsters was easily able to be trademarked, the release in America would prove difficult had this name been used, due to the unrelated {{wp|Monster in my Pocket}} franchise. Thus, an alternate romanization of the contraction was used, with an acute accent over the e to indicate its specific pronunciation, ''poh-kay-mahn''. Despite this issue, however, the fact that Pokémon is short for Pocket Monsters has been referenced in English, with an NPC in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} asking the player what Pokémon is short for after thinking about the name of the [[Pokétch]], itself a contraction, as well as on the back of the DVD set containing the [[M01|first]], [[M02|second]], and [[M03|third]] {{pkmn|movie}}s.

==Franchise==
{{main|History of Pokémon}}
Pokémon as a series was originally conceived by [[Satoshi Tajiri]], as a way to instill in children of the modern, more urbanized Japan the same enjoyment that he felt as a young boy collecting insects near his hometown of {{wp|Machida, Tokyo|Machida}}. Initially [[Capsule Monsters]], CapuMon for short, Tajiri pitched the series to Nintendo due to the inspiration he drew from the [[link cable]], picturing an insect crawling across it between two Game Boy systems.
[[File:Spr 1g 006.png|frame|right|{{p|Charizard}}'s Red and Green sprite]]
With help from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], the series began development, with the concepts of the original games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}, going into production between 1990 and 1995. At last, in early 1996, the first games in the series were released, and Tajiri's dream had become reality. Though compared to other games of its time, Pokémon was very limited, with comparatively poor graphics and sound, the series was an overnight success, and Red and Green were quickly followed by an upgraded [[third version]], {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}.

An {{pkmn|anime}} was produced, with the intention of covering the journey players took through the [[Kanto]] region in the games over the course of a year and a half. About halfway through this run, however, tragedy struck, and [[EP038|an episode]] of the anime was found to be responsible for {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s for more than 600 children due to a flashing strobe effect. No one died of these seizures, and after a brief hiatus to address the problem, the anime returned to the air to complete the Kanto run.

Game Freak, however, encouraged by the success of their first trio of games, had already begun development on a sequel to them. With the franchise still running strong, and an upcoming introduction of it to the United States, popularity soared. Rather than releasing their sequels immediately, however, Game Freak instead chose to draw from the story of the anime, which differed from the games in that its protagonist was given a {{p|Pikachu}} instead of the standard [[starter Pokémon]] received in Red, Green, and Blue, and created a fourth, {{game|Yellow||Special Pikachu Edition}}, of the Kanto story to buy some more time for development on the announced sequels.

Several {{pkmn|manga}} series were also produced in this early time, including [[Pokémon Adventures]], which Tajiri has stated is closest to his original idea of the {{pkmn|world}} the series takes place in.

Eventually, however, the much-awaited sequels were finally released. {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, revamped the Pokémon world, bringing it into full color and addressing many of the issues that had been present in the original games, especially [[glitch]]es and the [[type]] imbalance. The anime, manga, and other wings of the franchise followed as well, bringing their characters into the [[Generation II|second generation]].

Even after the initial hype the series had in most of the world died down, however, the Pokémon series remained strong. Another third version, this time to Gold and Silver, was produced, focusing on another of [[Johto]]'s legends, {{p|Suicune}}. With {{game|Crystal}}, a female player character was finally introduced, and the games became fully dependent on the [[Game Boy Color]], abandoning the now long-outdated Game Boy. A third generation was announced to be on its way on the new [[Game Boy Advance]], and among fans, the hype returned strongly.

Despite this, when {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} were released, many people heard of them, and [[Generation III|their generation]] in general, as a disappointment. [[Misty]], Ash's longtime companion in the anime, left the show while a new girl, {{an|May}} joined him, and the games themselves, unlike the Generation II games, they were completely incompatible with their predecessors, making 184 of the 251 Pokémon previously released completely unobtainable without [[cheating]]. This itself was addressed with the unprecedented release of {{wp|remake}}s of the original pair of games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which brought back the availability of many of the Pokémon missing from Ruby and Sapphire. Within a year, as well, yet another third version, this time for the Hoenn story, was released, as {{game|Emerald}}, and introduced a {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and many other aspects that would be enjoyed by those who battled Pokémon competitively.

Much like the previous generations, the [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] was very anticipated, and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} received much praise. These games brought with them many enhancements from Emerald, and for the first time, Pokémon could be played online to battle against and trade with other players across the world. Due to the earlier release of remakes for the original pair of games, this generation saw much speculation for a remake of the now-outdated Generation II games, and hidden data in the games themselves seemed to indicate that they would be on their way shortly.

A third version of the pair, {{game|Platinum}}, was released two years afterward, and due to this, as well as the delay in the release, many became discouraged that the remakes would ever come. Despite this, however, finally, after five years of speculation, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} were released.
[[File:Spr 5b 006.png|frame|right|{{p|Charizard}}'s Black and White sprite]]
The [[Generation V|current generation]] of the franchise constitutes a "reboot" similar to that of the third. The highly anticipated {{game|Black and White|s}} are set far away from the previously released games in a region based on {{wp|New York City}} called [[Unova]]. Initially in the game, only new Pokémon introduced in this generation are available before beating the [[Pokémon League]], forcing veteran players to rethink old strategies. The games do have the capacity to connect to older games, however, and maintain the international connectivity introduced in the fourth generation. The anime series, Trading Card Game and some manga series have already embraced the new generation with new releases of tie-in media. Not following the traditional format, Black and White are followed by two direct sequels, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]].

==Creatures==
{{main|Pokémon (species)}}
The creatures themselves, based on various plants, animals, and other concepts, inhabit virtually every corner of the {{pkmn|world}}, no matter which canon's interpretation is seen. Many make their homes in forests and on rural [[route]]s stretching across the various regions, while still others are native to cities and other urban centers. Currently, there are {{numpkmn}} known Pokémon.

Typically, Pokémon that are owned by a person are kept in [[Poké Ball]]s, which allow for them to be quickly sent into battle or to perform a task, but keep them safe and make them easier to transport, with the balls being typically able to fit into a pocket. HeartGold and SoulSilver have the lead Pokémon out of their Poké Balls. Many Pokémon owned by Trainers, however, choose to remain outside of their Poké Ball, and travel with their Trainer [[walking Pokémon|on foot]].

Pokémon begin their lives by hatching from {{pkmn|Egg}}s, and many of them will [[Evolution|evolve]] to grow stronger and larger during the course of their lives. Pokémon are not immortal, as can be seen from the Pokémon gravesites found in [[Lavender Town]], [[Mt. Pyre]], the [[Lost Tower]], and the [[Celestial Tower]], though being that their abilities far surpass those of normal animals, it may seem to be this way for those who do not follow the series as closely.

Many Pokémon are much more powerful than others, and some, due to this, have [[legendary Pokémon|passed into legends]] that are told in the Pokémon world. It has not been consistently illustrated whether or not these Pokémon really do have the power that their legends state, though the general consensus is that, in the wild, a Pokémon's abilities are truly those of the legends, while a Trainer who captures one in a Poké Ball will limit its strength.

Pokémon may be influenced by the Japanese folklore of {{wp|yōkai}}, special creatures with strange abilities, sometimes even created from inanimate objects.

Its cry is a slowed-down version of the song when the player enters the Hall of Fame.

Being that [[File:YGlitchNameC6.png]] is a hybrid of Slowpoke, there is a chance that it will use Slowpoke's sprite.

'''Ash's Snivy''' (Japanese: '''サトシのツタージャ''' ''Satoshi's Tsutarja'') is the fourth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash and Snivy.png|240px|thumb|left|Ash and Snivy]]

Appearing in ''[[BW007|Snivy Plays Hard to Catch!]]'', Snivy was discovered by {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} after she stole some cake from them. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} speculated that Snivy abandoned her {{pkmn|Trainer}} who she deemed unworthy, as she was clearly demonstrating a high level of competency and skill, evident in her first escape from Ash by infatuating {{AP|Pikachu}} with {{m|Attract}} then escaping using {{m|Leaf Storm}}. She also snickered at Ash in his first attempt to capture her.

Ash was able to capture Snivy when he won her respect, and was recognized before her eyes as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of not only skill, but of qualities like his unwavering determination and overpowering spirit. Despite his countless defeats with Snivy, especially when the majority of his team (Pikachu, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}) succumbed easily to her Attract, Ash nevertheless followed her all the way throughout from the time they met to the point of her capture. During this journey, Ash showed her two notable acts of sacrifice: the first when he shielded Pikachu from her {{m|Vine Whip}}, and the second when he asked Pikachu to climb onto his head when they were sinking into a muddy swamp. At last, Ash had to perform a show of skill before he could capture her. Luckily for Ash, {{AP|Pidove|Unfezant}} was also female and was not affected by Attract, allowing him to battle on even grounds. In the battle that ensued, Snivy put up a strong struggle against her captor but was weakened considerably. Despite seemingly being in visibly good condition, she finally let out a small, humble smile that signified the acceptance of her Trainer, before allowing Ash to capture her.

Snivy was sent out twice during Ash's 5-on-5 battle with [[Trip]] in ''[[BW010|A Rival Battle for Club Champ!]]''. In her first match against [[Trip's Servine]], her use of Attract predominantly paved her way to victory after her opponent successfully became infatuated with her. Later on she was called upon to battle Trip's {{p|Frillish}}, and Ash, who had no knowledge of his opponent's Ability, {{a|Cursed Body}}, commanded Snivy to use physical attacks which ultimately led to their loss.
[[File:Snivy and Emolga.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy and Emolga]]
In ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', Snivy was called out of her [[Poké Ball]] by [[Iris's Emolga]]'s {{m|Volt Switch}}. Since Emolga did not wish to battle anymore, Ash used Snivy in a battle against {{an|Bianca}}'s {{TP|Bianca|Pignite|Emboar}} for a short period. Later during lunch, Snivy noticed that Emolga tricked her male teammates into giving their lunch to her and ratted her out to Ash and company. Later, she noticed that Emolga had wandered away, as well as {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Oshawott after her, and decided to investigate. Snivy found them being attacked by an angry {{p|Simisear}} and stopped it with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Emolga did not wish to fight Simisear, but Snivy forced her to help out. When Snivy was hurt by Simisear, Emolga finally decided to assist her and the two Pokémon worked together to stop it. They also saved Simisear's life by doing a {{m|Hidden Power}}-{{m|Leaf Storm}} combo to destroy a boulder that was about to crush it. Both Snivy and Emolga later temporarily settled their differences and shared an apple to symbolize that.

She battled with Trip's Servine once again in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. This time around Trip and Servine were prepared for Attract and countered it with {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. She was then taken out of the match with a single {{m|Cut}} from Servine.

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Pawniard}} during the second round of the [[Club Battle]] Tournament, however, she struggled against the powerful Pokémon, having Attract fail when Pawniard also turned out to be female. However, she managed to defeat Pawniard in the [[BW041|following episode]] with {{m|Leaf Storm}}.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', when Pikachu spotted her Poké Ball amongst those {{TRT}} had stolen from the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Pokémon Center, he used {{m|Electro Ball}} to let her out. Snivy searched through the pile of Poké Balls, looking for the others, letting out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to free Pikachu and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} from their cages, {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to help bust through the door, {{TP|Cilan|Dwebble|Crustle}} at Pikachu's request to burn from the sturdy door, and Tepig and {{AP|Roggenrola|Boldore}} to propel the train cart away from Team Rocket. She later helped fight off [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter while the other Pokémon tried to work out an escape.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Ash used Snivy in his Gym match against [[Elesa]] and her {{p|Emolga}}. They were both female, so Attract proved to be ineffective. Despite trying her best, none of Snivy's attacks were working and in the end, Emolga defeated Snivy with a barrage of powerful {{m|Aerial Ace}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} attacks.

In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'', Snivy looked happy to see Ash's Scraggy and Iris' Axew getting along happily. In the middle of the night when [[Katharine]]'s [[Gothita]] escaped with Scraggy, and then followed by Axew, Snivy closely followed them all and helped protect them from a wild and angry {{p|Garbodor}} that Gothita had disturbed. Snivy scolded Gothita and battled Garbodor until Katharine's Deerling calmed it down with {{m|Aromatherapy}}. The next day, Snivy had a battle with Gothita, which resulted in a clear victory for Snivy. Snivy then condemned Gothita's loss, making it run away in a fuss with its Trainer close behind.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Snivy battled {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}} in an attempt to halt their rampage. She landed a hit on the legendary Pokémon by combining her Leaf Storm with Excadrill's {{m|Drill Run}}, but was eventually defeated by the powerful opponents.

In ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'', Snivy was used against [[Clay]] and his {{p|Palpitoad}}. She defeated the Vibration Pokémon, after immobilizing it with Attract and hitting him with all her other moves, without taking a single hit. She stayed in the battle to take on Clay's {{p|Excadrill}}, but all of her attacks were blocked by the Subterrene Pokémon's {{m|Rapid Spin}} attack, even preventing her Attract, and she was eventually taken out by its [[one-hit knockout move]]: {{m|Horn Drill}}.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', Snivy was disgusted at [[Shamus]], Tepig's former Trainer, for his treatment of her friend and volunteered to battle as Tepig's partner with Shamus's {{p|Emboar}} and {{p|Heatmor}} the next day. That night, she confronted Tepig and slapped him with Vine Whip in an attempt to snap him out of his depression and encouraging him. When she was sent out to battle Shamus's Pokémon, Snivy was more than ready to fight and defend Tepig's honor, while Tepig didn't feel as motivated. While shouting words of encouragement to Tepig, who wouldn't dodge his opponents attacks, Snivy was hit by her opponents' powerful attacks, wearing her down severely. When Shamus ordered a {{m|Flare Blitz}}/{{m|Fire Spin}} combination attack, Snivy pushed her friend out the way of the attack, taking a lot of damage and being knocked out. Though she was unable to battle, Snivy insisted that she stay outside of her Poké Ball, and watch the end of the battle. This motivated Tepig to evolve into {{AP|Pignite}}, learn {{m|Fire Pledge}}, and defeat his opponents.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snivy Emolga Axew apples.png|thumb|right|250px|Snivy sharing an apple with Iris's Emolga and Axew]]
Snivy is nothing less than a Pokémon shrouded in mystery. It is widely speculated that she had a previous Trainer whom she left because they did not meet her expectations, but she seems to have found what she had been searching for in Ash. She tends to show no emotion except for when she is battling, even then moving as gracefully as she does outside of battle. Snivy is a fierce competitor and will take each battle that she participates in seriously. She is very mature psychologically, as seen when [[Ash's Scraggy|Ash's newly hatched Scraggy]] attempted to attack her and she did not utilize her full strength when stopping him. Though Snivy is distant, she still knows all of her Pokémon companions well and watches out for them whenever their Trainers cannot as seen in episodes like ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''.

Ever since [[Iris's Emolga]] joined the team, she and Snivy have gotten into a few disagreements. Snivy did not like how Emolga used her cuteness to get what she wanted as seen in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'' and was pretty much the only one able to see through it. As shown in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', she still holds animosity towards Emolga. In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', Emolga and Snivy were seen fighting again which resulted in them knocking over paint, causing paint to cover their Trainers. Behind her tough exterior, Snivy actually cares deeply about her friends, as seen in ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', where she comforted [[Ash's Pignite|Tepig]] when he was disappointed by his former Trainer.

==Trivia==
* Snivy's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]].
* Snivy's capture was Ash's last capture of the three Unova starters. To contrast, in the previous four regions, each region's Grass-type starter was the first starter to be caught by Ash.
* A constant animation quirk that occurs with Snivy is that she appears to have a third arm and her right foot turns green every time she uses Leaf Blade up close.

'''Ash's Boldore''' (Japanese: '''サトシのガントル''' ''Satoshi's Gantle'') is the eighth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{Ash}} obtained in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Roggenrola.png|240px|thumb|left|As a Roggenrola]]
Boldore was introduced as a {{p|Roggenrola}} in ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'' when it literally crashed into {{an|Cilan}}'s food in distress. Ash battled it, but it managed to knock out both {{AP|Oshawott}} and {{AP|Tepig}}. It later met Ash again when they came to investigate a tunnel, where they found {{TRT}} harvesting wild Roggenrola for their cannon. It too was collected, and Ash managed to save it, but not before Team Rocket caused a cave in with a powerful {{m|Flash Cannon}} created by all the Roggenrola they collected. After they escaped the tunnel, they found Team Rocket in a warehouse where Ash and Roggenrola managed to free the other Roggenrola. Once they were reunited, they sent Team Rocket blasting off with a combined Flash Cannon. After being cured at the [[Pokémon Center]], Roggenrola challenged Ash to a rematch, where it was eventually defeated by Tepig and captured.

In the [[BW035|next episode]], Roggenrola was used to help locate where the missing {{p|Audino}} were going. Cilan stated that Roggenrola had sensitive hearing similar to Audino and could pick up sounds that were inaudible to humans. Thanks to it, they were able to find out where the Audino were being kept. It also made use of its {{m|Stone Edge}} by destroying Team Rocket's sound wave machine that controlled the Audino, thus setting them free.

In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Roggenrola was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Tepig using {{m|Ember}}, which soon became {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} using {{m|Dragon Rage}}.
[[File:Ash Boldore Sturdy.png|thumb|right|240px|Sturdy activated]]
In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Roggenrola helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from Team Rocket. It repeatedly used Flash Cannon on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter until it was joined by Pikachu, [[Iris's Axew]] and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and [[Cilan's Pansage]] to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

Roggenrola was used in Ash's Gym battle against [[Clay]] in ''[[BW061|Battling the King of the Mines!]]'' where it was sent out to counter his {{p|Excadrill}} with its defenses. After Roggenrola's Sandstorm attack fails, it was hit by several {{m|Drill Run}} attacks and finally a {{m|Horn Drill}}. However, Roggenrola's Sturdy allowed it to survive the attack. Afterwards Roggenrola evolved into Boldore, survived another Horn Drill using Sturdy and ended up head to head with Excadrill. Using the red stones on its back, Boldore was able to communicate its new power to Ash and used a new move: {{m|Rock Blast}}. After pushing Excadrill back Boldore revealed to its {{pkmn|Trainer}} that it could use {{m|Rock Smash}} and clashed with Excadrill's same move. Eventually Boldore was able to overcome Excadrill and won Ash the {{badge|Quake}}.

In ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', Ash used Boldore in a [[Tag Battle]] against {{an|Bianca}}'s newly evolved {{p|Escavalier}} and [[Professor Juniper]]'s newly evolved {{p|Accelgor}}, accompanied by Cilan and his {{TP|Cilan|Crustle}}. Boldore was able to hit both of its opponents with Rock Smash at the start of the battle and alongside Crustle, held back Escavalier's {{m|Fury Attack}}. While Escavalier was dodging Crustle's {{m|Rock Slide}}, Boldore was able to hit it hard with Rock Blast until Accelgor came to Escavalier's defense with {{m|Substitute}}. Taking advantage of a weakened Accelgor, Ash ordered Boldore to use Flash Cannon on it, but Escavalier was able to deflect the attack. Boldore was knocked back into Crustle by Escavalier's Fury Attack and, protecting its partner, was knocked out by Escavalier and Accelgor's combined {{m|Hyper Beam}} attacks.

In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'', Ash used Boldore as his first Pokémon during his Gym battle against [[Roxie]], sending it out to face her {{p|Koffing}}. At first Boldore attacked with Sandstorm, but Koffing endured it and countered with {{m|Clear Smog}}. Next Boldore used Rock Blast, but Koffing blocked it and attacked with {{m|Gyro Ball}}. The Ore Pokémon managed to endure it and overcome Koffing's following {{m|Sludge Bomb}} attack with Flash Cannon, but then Boldore was defeated by the Poison Gas Pokémon when it attacked again with Gyro Ball, easily penetrating Boldore's Sandstorm defense.

In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', Boldore was used in the second round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Hirokazu]]'s {{p|Reuniclus}}. It was able to knock out Reuniclus with a powerful {{m|Rock Blast}} and won the battle. Thus, Ash advanced to the semi-finals.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Boldore.png|thumb|220px|Ash and Boldore]]
As a Roggenrola, Boldore has shown to be very resourceful, using a stand alone bowl for defense, as well as using its {{m|Flash Cannon}} attack to destroy falling boulders, or its {{m|Sandstorm}} to put out a fire. It also appears to care deeply for others and goes out of its way to ensure their safety, such as the lengths it went to save the other {{p|Roggenrola}}, even to go as far as to risk its life facing Team Rocket's mecha head on. It also made sure other wild Pokémon in the general area knew of the impending danger, despite the issue not involving them. This is also seen in ''[[BW035|Where Did You Go, Audino?]]'' when it sought out the missing {{p|Audino}} with its hearing ability. It was also shown to get quite excitable, bouncing up and down, when helping to save the day in ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'' and ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]''.

After evolving, Boldore was shown to retain its friendly personality, even affectionately climbing on top of Ash when he hugged it after he won his match against the Driftveil City [[Gym Leader]] [[Clay]].

==Trivia==
* Boldore is the first {{type|Rock}} Pokémon officially owned by Ash, if his unofficial {{AP|Larvitar}} isn't counted.

* As a Roggenrola, it used a different variation of {{m|Sandstorm}} in every episode where it used the move.
* Boldore is the second of Ash's {{DL|Ash Ketchum|Pokémon}} to evolve during a [[Gym]] battle. The first to do so was his {{AP|Swadloon|Leavanny}}.
* If one excludes the unofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, Boldore is Ash's first Pokémon that can evolve via [[trade]].
* Boldore is Ash's only single-type Pokémon from Unova that isn't a starter.
* Boldore is Ash's only Pokémon from Unova that has used its [[Ability]] in battle.

==Trivia==
* Boldore is very similar to {{p|Graveler}}. Both are Rock-type Pokémon introduced in an odd-numbered generation with a base stat total of 390 that evolved at level 25 and can evolve again by [[trade|trading]].
* Boldore is the first Pokémon since [[Generation I]] to evolve via trade with no extra conditions.
* Boldore is the only Pokémon with exactly three legs.

===Origin===
Boldore appears to be based on a {{wp|geode}}. It also has some aspects of a {{wp|crab}}.

====Name origin====
Boldore may be combination of ''boulder'' and ''ore''; it may also be a corruption of ''boulder''. It may also derive from ''bold'' (outstanding or large).

Gantle may be a combination of 岩 ''gan'' (rock) and ''{{wp|mantle (geology)|mantle}}''.

'''Ash Ketchum''' (Japanese: '''サトシ''' ''Satoshi'') is the main character of both the [[Pokémon anime]] and ''[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga, and is believed to be based on the {{ga|Red|protagonist}} of the [[Generation I| first generation]] Pokémon games.

He shares his Japanese name—which can be taken to mean "wisdom" or "reason" (智)—with the creator of the [[Pokémon]] franchise, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]. His English surname is a pun of the original English motto, "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]."

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[File:Ash anime.png|200px|thumb|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Ash's main goal in life, as described in [[EP001|the first episode]], is to be the world's greatest [[Pokémon Master]]. Ash began his journey at the age of 10 as a warm-hearted and well-intentioned but stubborn, rash and amateur [[Pokémon Trainer]]. He was forced to accept the cheeky {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} as his [[starter Pokémon]] because he carelessly broke his alarm clock in his sleep and woke up late on the day he was set to get his first Pokémon. He was determined to achieve his goal, however, and when Pikachu saw that he was willing to compromise his own safety to keep it safe he formed a strong bond of friendship with Pikachu. This would set his course for the future.
[[File:Ash fleeing spearow.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash trying to keep Pikachu safe]]
However, from that point, Ash still had a lot to learn about becoming a Trainer. The [[Ash's Butterfree|first Pokémon]] he {{pkmn2|caught}}, was caught by luck, as he knew absolutely nothing about [[Pokémon battle|battling]], and was hesitant to admit it whenever he was wrong. Many of his first [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s were given to him merely out of gratitude for his assistance rather than claiming an actual victory in battle over the [[Gym Leader]]s; of his first five Gym battles, only his victory over [[Lt. Surge]] was an actual victory. Every time he thought he was doing well, he would somehow cross paths with his childhood [[rival]], [[Gary Oak]]. He always reminded Ash that he was always a step or seven behind, with Gary catching around forty-five Pokémon by the time Ash had only caught his {{AP|seventh|Kingler}}. This hampered matters further when, owing to his inexperience, his {{AP|Charizard}}, one of his most powerful Pokémon, refused to listen to him until [[EP105|Ash could prove himself]] to the powerful Fire type.

Over time, Ash's dedication to his goal paid off. After earning his first eight Badges he went on to compete in the [[Indigo League]], advancing to the fifth round - one further than Gary, and ending up in the top 16. After recovering from his defeat, he continued on to improve his skills; take on new challenges; and compete in more [[Pokémon League]] competitions - triumphing in the [[Orange League]] and the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

[[File:Ash AG.png|200px|thumb|left|Ash in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}]]
Ash has changed a great deal over the course of the series, particularly in regards to his skill at [[Pokémon training]], but his earnestness, rashness, and determination have remained. Never straying from his goal, he has remained loyal to {{ashfr}}, his family, and his supporters, but most of all his Pokémon. Ash became a great Trainer by learning to find and use the inner strength of each of his Pokémon by bonding with them. For example, when he received a banner filled with prints from his Pokémon in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', he knew which Pokémon placed specific prints, showing his close bond with them. He also learns where their hidden abilities lie, as well as resorting to unorthodox strategies when fighting particularly challenging opponents. For example, he uses his Pikachu's speed to outmaneuver larger foes and attack. In another instance, his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] by causing the field to overheat before mounting a close-quarters attack while Blastoise was blinded by the steam. He also prefers to train a Pokémon to be the best it can without forcing it to [[Evolution|evolve]], as evidenced by his treatment of {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. He is happy when his Pokémon evolve but lets them choose whether or not they want to evolve instead of forcing them.
[[File:AshAura.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash using Aura inside the [[Tree of Beginning]]]]
Early on, Ash originally trained not to further himself but instead to catch more Pokémon than Gary. He later slowed his pace which allowed him to focus on the individual traits of each Pokémon. At the [[Johto]] League [[Silver Conference]], with great humility and maturity, Ash finally won a battle against his old rival, signifying a great milestone in his history. His maturity has also increased in his dealings with Pokémon. This is shown when [[Ash's Primeape|a Mankey]] stole his {{AP|hat}} in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', he screamed and yelled at it, even climbing trees just to get his hat back, but when [[Dawn's Ambipom|an Aipom]] did the same in ''[[AG179|Slaking Kong]]'', he stated merely that he would feel strange without a hat. When Aipom stole his hat again in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'', however, while it was under his ownership, he chased after it in the same manner as before.

In most episodes of the anime, especially those during the Johto League saga, Ash befriends someone who will influence him and cause him to strive to become a better Trainer. Although he is not a dependent individual, he is still young and has learned to make his way relying on {{ashfr}}, particularly the maternal skills of Brock. The honor of "best friend" is usually reserved for Pikachu but Ash has come to see his closest human friends in the same light over time; using the term for {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' as well as {{an|May}} and [[Max]] in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

He has traversed much of the [[Pokémon world]] and has thus far participated in four [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|Pokémon League regional competitions]], but he is still learning new things about Pokémon all the time.
[[File:Ash DP 1.png|thumb|right|200px|Ash in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}]]
Ash has gained a close connection with many [[legendary Pokémon]], including {{an|Mewtwo}}, {{an|Ho-Oh}}, {{OBP|Lugia|M02}}, {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, {{mov|Giratina}}, {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, {{OBP|Victini|M14}}, {{OBP|Reshiram|M14}}{{tt|*|Black—Victini and Reshiram}}, {{OBP|Zekrom|M14}}{{tt|*|White—Victini and Zekrom}} and {{an|Meloetta}}. In the English dub [[M02|second movie]], he was revealed to be "The Chosen One" - the one who would bring balance back to the world when it was disrupted.

Although viewed as a normal human, Ash does have some special abilities, as he is said to have the same [[aura]] as [[Sir Aaron]], a legendary hero, and is theoretically able to manipulate it in much the same way. Therefore, he made a connection with Sir Aaron's {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|08}}. However, he has not received any training in this field, opting to continue his Pokémon journey instead. He has also been likened to an ancient aura guardian in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'', who also had a partner {{p|Pikachu}}. Later, in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts 1]]'' and ''[[DP072|2]]'', Ash uses aura again to locate a lost {{p|Riolu}} and read Riolu's mind as well. This time, however, he merely senses the aura, rather than manipulating it.

[[File:AshWallace.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash in the [[Wallace Cup]]]]
Ash has also participated in Contests. He has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Sinnoh]] region, as well as one for the Hoenn region as it was required to watch one of the Contests held there. Ash carries half of a broken [[Poké Ball]] with him everywhere, while Gary has the other half, as a symbol of their ongoing, but now friendly, rivalry; [[Misty's special lure]], which she sent to him as a gift; and half of a Ribbon he received in a Contest against May before she left the group to compete in Johto. Ash also participated in the [[Wallace Cup]] on the suggestion of [[Wallace]] but he lost in the third round.

Ash soon obtained all of the Sinnoh Gym Badges. During his battles in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], he managed to advance to the Top 4, during which time he defeated his long-time Sinnoh rival [[Paul]] for the first time, and fought against {{si|Tobias}}, becoming the only known Trainer to defeat his {{p|Darkrai}}. Though he lost later on in the battle, he seems to be okay with losing, as he has become closer to his Pokémon than ever before. Ash, {{an|Dawn}}, and Brock then set off on their own paths to follow their respective dreams, with Brock saying he will no longer be joining Ash on his next journey.

In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, Ash came with Professor Oak and his mom on a trip to the [[Unova]] region. After losing in a battle to [[Trip]] and seeing the power of the legendary {{p|Zekrom}}, Ash became interested in traveling Unova to meet new Pokémon, as well as new friends. He is now currently in journey in [[Unova]], first bringing along only his Pikachu as he did in Hoenn.

Ash competed in the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]] ''-'' [[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]''. He battled against [[Burgundy]] and her {{p|Stoutland}} in the first round and won using his {{AP|Palpitoad}}. He then battled [[Georgia]] and her {{p|Pawniard}} in ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]''. Ash used his {{AP|Snivy}}. Although she struggled at first, Snivy managed to defeat Pawniard and advance Ash to the next round. Next, in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'', Ash battled [[Dino]] and his {{p|Darumaka}} with his Palpitoad again and won easily. In the final round, Ash went up against {{an|Iris}} and her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}}. Ash used {{AP|Pikachu}}, but lost the match and became runner-up in the tournament. He didn't feel bad, though, and was happy to see Iris win the tournament.

===Family===
[[File:Younger Ash DP138.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Ash]]
Ash is an only child that lived with his mother, [[Delia Ketchum]], until he left for his Pokémon journey at the age of ten.

His father has not been introduced. The anime suggests that his father was once a Pokémon Trainer who began his journey in Pallet Town, and that he is still living. In the original, he is also confirmed to have a grandfather, and his son (Ash's father) followed his footsteps. An interview with the series' storyboarder confirmed Ash's father is a Trainer on his own journey. According to the same storyboarder, Ash's father may or may not be introduced in the series, depending on its necessity to further Ash's maturity and development as a Trainer.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Ash Pokemon with Oak.png|thumb|right|300px|A majority of Ash's Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab]]
As a Trainer, Ash has captured and befriended a sizable number of Pokémon over the course of the anime. His philosophy on {{pkmn|training}} is that Pokémon are individuals and that a combination of trust, friendship and hard work are needed to overcome adversity. He seems to battle best with Pokémon that are similar to Pikachu: ones that are [[Appendix:Metagame terminology#Sweeper|speedy and maneuverable, yet able to perform high-powered attacks]]; however, he is willing to work with any Pokémon that comes into his care. Ash's battle style is generally spontaneous and fairly unorthodox, and his Pokémon often reflect these traits.

====Currently in rotation====

In the [[Unova]] region, Ash does not keep the same party at all times like he had done previously. Instead, he swaps his on hand Pokémon (with the exception of Pikachu) with ones that are being stored at [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, much like he did with his {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} in [[Kanto]] with {{an|Professor Oak}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Ash Ketchum (EToP)}}
Ash Ketchum is a starring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a manga series based on the anime. Ash's journey in The Electric Tale of Pikachu follows roughly the same plot as in the anime: first traveling the [[Kanto]] region to participate in the [[Pokémon League]], before embarking on a journey around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Ash, along with {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}, made cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Ash and {{ashfr}} have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

===In the movie adaptations===
[[File:DP series trio.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash with his friends in the movie 10 manga adaptation]]
Since Ash and his Pikachu have appeared in every [[Pokémon movie]] to date, likewise, Ash is a main character in every Pokémon movie manga adaptations. The same applies with Ash's team as they made similar appearances.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|Ash after catching a Pokémon.]]
[[File:Ash Dewgong Drawing.png|thumb|200px|Ash's drawing of a Dewgong]]
* Ash has never officially caught a Pokémon of the {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Psychic}}, or {{t|Ghost}} types.
** This excludes both his unnofficial {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} and in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, where he has caught a {{p|Slowpoke}}, a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}}.
* The date of Ash's birth, according to [[Takeshi Shudo]]'s anime novelizations, is 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days ''exactly'' prior to the day he began his Pokémon journey. Being that the same novelization declares that Pokémon Trainers obtain their first Pokémon in April of the year following their 10th birthday, and the anime itself began broadcast on the first of that month in 1997 in Japan, Ash's birthday, if April 1 was the first day of his journey, would be May 22.
* When [[Veronica Taylor]] was interviewed in the documentary "Adventures in Voice Acting", she stated that during her audition for the role of Ash, he was known as Casey at the time. This name would later be given to a {{an|Casey|recurring character from Johto}}.
* Ash has shown to possess some {{wp|drawing}} abilities which were shown in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' where he drew a {{p|Dewgong}}.
* Ash has been shown to be a good climber, as mentioned in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' (as {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} say "He climbs like a {{p|Mankey}}!") and shown in several episodes throughout the series. He demonstrates this again in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', when he climbs up a tree to try and save {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}.

Talk:N's Pokémon

2012-10-20T15:46:39Z

Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.: /* In b/w */ new section

==Notable?==
I don't really think this page is notable. It could just be put on N's page. But I'd like more opinions. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 23:45, 22 July 2012 (UTC)
:N's Pokemon are numerous, have specific stats (and even IV spreads), are a feature from Memory Link and capture of them all is required for N battle rematches and Zinzolin offering Ghetsis's translations of the Abyssal Ruins. In addition he has indeed used nearly all of these Pokemon in battles from Black/White with just small exceptions (Darmanitan and Zorua). I think it's enough to make the page notable for documenting the Pokemon. [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] ([[User talk:Chicobo329|talk]]) 01:20, 23 July 2012 (UTC)

:If we were to put all of this on N's page, it would be an eyesore. There would be too much data for one to view on N's page, and then there would be a lot of complaints. To prevent that, I put N's Pokémon received in Black 2 and White 2 on a separate page because it is a separate event that takes place, and is well worth its own page. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 03:31, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
::I think this article is important for a few reasons. The main reason is the proccess to obtain them, which is a chalenge in itself. Also they are essential in order to do certain events like battles with N. Also I agree that if these Pokémon were listed on his page it would become an eyesore and it would make the page very long. [[User:Lady Ariel|Lady Ariel]] ([[User talk:Lady Ariel|talk]]) 14:28, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
::I have to correct Chicobo. You don't need these Pokémon, it's a rumor (I have only {{p|Zorua}}). Yes, I got Zinzolin event, not sure if it is required, but today I catched N's dragon and Kyurem, and now he is at Ferris Wheel (apparently he is only at Friday; though Tetsu or Ruri can appear instead if the player didn't do their events. I didn't, so I had to talk to them first, then re-enter amusement park for N to appear). Anyway, after riding on the Ferris wheel, you can go battle N in his castle. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 11:03, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
== Small thing to fix ==

In the trivia, it says that Darmanitan is the only Pokemon to have an Ability. It should say that it is the only Pokemon with a Dream World ability. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 09:24, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

== Zorua/Zoroark ==

In the final battle in BW, N has a Zoroark. However, in B2W2, Rood gives you a Zorua. This implies that N had or has a Zoroark, and had the Zorua. If this page is staying, I think this should probably go somewhere on here. [[User:MatchMaster|MatchMaster]] ([[User talk:MatchMaster|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/MatchMaster|Contribs]]) 13:19, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
:It's not just implied. It's outright shown. You meet his Zoroark in Victory Road and it allows you to go to N's Castle. It does mention that he doesn't use the Zorua in battle, as it is the one from his childhood that is shown in BW's opening, but I'm not sure if Zoroark needs to be mentioned. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 13:30, 27 July 2012 (UTC)
::It doesn't. Zoroark is completely irrelevant to this page. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 23:52, 27 July 2012 (UTC)

== Possible Style Change ==

Since these pokemon already have predetermined values and whatnot, I suggest that the boxes be reformatted like the event pokemon:

:I actually thought about that. I think since we can just name the location of where to obtain them as is, we can just use these. I think it's a good idea. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 18:52, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

'''Route 6''' (Japanese: '''６ばんどうろ''' ''Route 6'') is a route in western [[Unova]], connecting [[Driftveil City]] to [[Chargestone Cave]]. It is also the home to [[Mistralton Cave]]. The route experiences different weather conditions based on the current [[seasons|season]]. For example, in the wintertime, it snows.

==Route description==
Several rivers run through the route with many wooden bridges spanning across them. The center of the route houses the Season Research Lab, a facility dedicated to the research of the seasons and how {{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} are affected by them.

To the north of the research lab is a house with a woman who will heal the player's Pokémon. The river by the house leads to [[Mistralton Cave]], which is at the east-most side of the route. The entrance to [[Chargestone Cave]] is located in the northwest.

Many {{p|Foongus}} live on this route, some taking the appearance of item balls on the overworld map.

==Places of interest==
===Season Research Lab===
The Season Research Lab is a facility dedicated to the research of the seasons, located at the center of the route. As such, there are several {{tc|Scientist}}s with {{p|Deerling}} in the area.

One of the scientists inside the lab requests that the {{player}} show him one of each [[Form differences#Deerling and Sawsbuck|seasonal form]] of Deerling. When his request is fulfilled, he will give the player a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

===Chargestone Cave===
{{main|Chargestone Cave}}
The northwestern section of this route connects to area in front of Chargestone Cave of the same name.

Talk:Unova Route 6

2012-10-08T15:25:16Z

Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.: /* White 2 Female Breeder */

== Surfing pokemons found on route 6, if someone can include that please: ==

Basurao (native) while surfing normally.

Basurao (foreign) in surf spots. [[User:Migrant|Migrant]] 06:27, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
:You can do it yourself, you'll learn. :] --[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 06:41, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
::Yeah, I'm not that used to some of the wiki's terms yet, plus i don't want to put some very incomplete info there. [[User:Migrant|Migrant]] 02:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Also, found a level 66 Poliwhirl on a fishing spot. [[User:Migrant|Migrant]] 02:34, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure how to put in a whole new section on fishing/surfing spots, but I know at least Poliwag links here and it can be fished up, but not the %. [[User:Toujours|Toujours]] 21:44, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
:Added the surfing/fishing section and rearranged all the Pokémon by National Pokédex number. [[User:Shepeedy|Shepeedy]] 18:02, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

== Route temperature? ==

Should there eventually be trivia added that this route has a noted temperature throughout the seasons? Such as -6°C/21.2°F during the Winter? You can find the temperature displayed at the weather lab for the other seasons. {{unsigned|Yourlilemogirl}}
:Should there be trivia? I don't think so. However, I do think we should put it somewhere in the article, just not under the trivia section. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 23:29, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
::I think we should include the temperature. We could probably create a "Season Research Lab" section and just put it under that (but we should have all of the temperatures first). Spring is 17°C. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:33, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
:::I agree, and to note, during the Summer the temperature is 33°C/91.4°F. Also the conversion for Spring's 17°C would be 62.6°F. :) Seems all we need now is Fall? [[User:Yourlilemogirl|Yourlilemogirl]] 08:10, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
::::Does it actually mention the temperature in Fahrenheit in-game, or are those just your conversions? Because I only see Celsius. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:58, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

== White 2 Female Breeder ==

Checking my English White 2, the breeder who battles you everytime you enter the route, (with deerling and minnicino)'s name is April. Can I add this?

'''Abilities''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|とくせい|特性}}''' ''special characteristic'') are a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]]. Individual Pokémon may have just one of these special attributes at a time, which generally serve to assist them in battle. An Ability cannot be changed after a Pokémon is obtained except by [[evolution]], where the Ability it changes into is determined by the former Ability, and [[Form differences|form change]]. Not every Ability is beneficial; some will hinder the user.

==Mechanics==
Some Pokémon have more than one possible Ability. In this case, the chances of obtaining a Pokémon with a particular Ability are equally likely. These Pokémon are known as "dual Ability" Pokémon; similarly, those with only one are known as "single Ability" Pokémon. Some single Ability Pokémon may have Abilities unique to themselves or their evolutionary lines: a signature Ability. However, in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, dual Ability Pokémon have both Abilities at the same time.

Pokémon that [[Evolution|evolve]] and have a certain Ability in their pre-evolution (dual-Ability Pokémon only), but evolve into a dual-Ability Pokémon upon evolution (such as {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} or {{a|Quick Feet}} evolving into {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Quick Feet}}), the Pokémon will keep its Ability from its pre-evolution upon evolving (so a Poochyena with Quick Feet in [[Generation IV]] would keep its Ability upon evolving into a Mightyena, while one with Run Away would evolve into a Mightyena with Intimidate instead). If the Pokémon is a single-Ability Pokémon, then it will still have a 50% chance for each if its evolution is a dual-Ability (dependent on {{IV}}s).

In [[Generation IV]], several Pokémon obtainable in [[Generation III]] gained new Abilities, becoming dual-Ability Pokémon. These Pokémon will keep the Ability they had in Generation III unless they evolve, when their Ability will be recalculated. All Generation III Abilities were maintained, with the exception of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}. The only Ability listed after Cacophony in the game data, {{a|Air Lock}}, was renumbered, and the new Abilities followed after.

===Hidden Abilities===
{{main|List of Pokémon with released Hidden Abilities}}
[[Generation V]] introduced Hidden Abilities, providing {{cat|Pokémon without Hidden Abilities|almost all Pokémon}} with another Ability. These Abilities are not found on Pokémon found randomly in the wild; only Pokémon obtained under special circumstances have these Abilities. All Pokémon obtained from the [[Pokémon Global Link]], either via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] or a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions|promotion]], will always have their Hidden Ability, if they have one. Certain [[event Pokémon]] may also have their Hidden Ability. In addition, two incidences of Pokémon found in-game, the five {{p|Darmanitan}} in the [[Resort Desert]] and the {{p|Musharna}} found every Friday in the [[Dreamyard]], also have their Hidden Ability.

If a female Pokémon has a Hidden Ability and is bred, it has a 60% chance to give that Ability to each of its children. Hidden Abilities cannot be passed down from male or genderless Pokémon, or when breeding with {{p|Ditto}}.

==In Pokemon Conquest==
{{main|List of Abilities in Pokémon Conquest}}
Unlike in the main games, Pokémon in [[Pokémon Conquest]] have three Abilities that they can access through normal game play. A Pokémon's Ability may also be changed through the use of the Mystery Spring.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
Abilities have been shown in the anime, but are usually only used in battles; however, sometimes they have an effect on the plot, such as [[Ash's Infernape]]'s {{a|Blaze}}.
At one point ''[[BW034|Gotta Catch A Roggenrola!]]'' Iris pointed out that Roggenrola had the ability Sturdy, implying that Roggenrola would recieve less damage than a Pokémon normally would.

==In the TCG==
Abilities under the name of Abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to Abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some Abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive Ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers became Abilities, these distinctions were done away with.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} were the first Pokémon to have their abilities - [[Plus (ability)|Plus]] and [[Minus (ability)|Minus]] - featured in the Pokémon Adventures. Abilities have been featured sometimes after this, mainly during battles.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], excluding Hidden Abilities, there are 106 Pokémon (almost exactly one-sixth of the total) who have unique Ability combinations.

Here's Nidoking's most Pokédex entry from the most recent dubbed episode for the page:

== Adding something in the Trivia. ==

There is a Bullet reading: "Nidoking and its female counterpart Nidoqueen share the same species name with Rhydon and Rhyperior. They are all known as Drill Pokémon."
Then there is sub-bullet reading: "Coincidentally, all four are also Ground-types."

What I was asking is if: "and dual-types" can be added to the sub-bullet?- Thanks. [[User:BAC510]] 19:01, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

== Baragon ==

Is there some kind of proof that Baragon is the origin of Nidoking that I haven't seen? If we are going by resemblance alone, then there are other Pokémon that resemble Kaiju. Blastiose resembles [[wp:Gamera|Gamera]], Aerodactyl resembles [[wp:Rodan|Rodan]] Tyranitar resembles [[wp:Godzilla|Godzilla]], and so forth. I really think that if Baragon must be mentioned it should be in the Trivia section if there is no proof that Nidoking is based directly off it. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 06:42, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

I think it's safe to say that's almost absolutely impossible to find definitive evidence about the inspiration of any Pokémon. There isn't any proof that Ninetales is based on kitsune, or Bronzong on ''Of a Mirror and a Bell'' legend, or Golduck on kappa. It's just a matter of common sense. I personally think that Nidoking is uncannily, embarrassingly, painfully similar to Baragon, to the point that I think it would be appropriate to write it in the article. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 06:57, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:The difference there being that Pokémon like Ninetales and Bronzong are based on common Japanese legends and myths. Baragon is not a legend or a myth, it is a copyright character belonging to Toho Company Ltd. Secondly, the similarities are purely superficial, if that much. Baragon is a ''dinosaur/lizard'', Nidoking is a ''rodent'', Baragon can live underground, Nidoking can't live underground, Nidoking is part of a set of gender-counterparts, Nidoking secretes poison. My point is that any resemblance is more likely coincidental, and should not be used as the basis for the origin section. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 08:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::Well, copyright didn't stop them from creating [[Hamilton]], or basing Kadabra on Uri Geller (the entire Abra line is named directly after real people). They probably just wanted to create a Pokémon reminiscent of a highly recognizable kaiju from popular culture. Another example of low profile origin is Wobbuffet. I also think that Pokémon use a lot of syncretism. Golduck is based on a kappa, an amphibious human monster, but its ingame specie is ''Duck Pokémon'', Shiftry is based on a tengu, a bird-like monster, but it's a tree. They don't need to be exact copies of they original mythical creatures. So it isn't strange for a Baragon-like Pokémon line to have some rabbit features. And where is stated that Nidoking (or its preevolutions) is based on a rodent? I really can't find any direct reference from game or anime. Its similarity to rabbits, noted in the article, is as much referenced as its similiarity to Baragon. They are based only on its appearance (and to me Nidoking is way more dinosaurian than leporine). Also, Nidoking is in part Ground, so it wouldn't be so strange for him to be based on a monster that lives underground like Baragon. What to me look like evidence, for you is only a coincidence, but you are entitled to your opinion as much as I am and I don't want to seem too pedantic. I'm wondering what other Bulbapedians thinks about this. --[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 09:22, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:::So a few things.
:::The origin sections, unless specifically stated by the games or something else, are nearly ''all'' speculation. That's why most say "may", "could be", or things like that.
:::''Basing'' something on another thing has no real meaning. You could take a Dragon Pokémon that we haven't already hunted down a possible origin for, and claim that it's related to nearly any myth related to a dragon, because the Pokémon is a dragon. That's also like when people make an OC for a fan fic or to draw. It's ''based'' off of the Pokémon series. So what?
:::And I personally don't see any relation between Nidoking and Baragon. Yes, they both have a tail, and a horn, and they have large ears, but so does a jackalope. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 16:40, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::::Jackalope? Amazing idea! :-) So Vulpix should be based on a fox? Please, people, be serious. It has several tails and is red all over? It could be easily a storybook!--[[User:Siegfried|Siegfried]] 17:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

:::::Indeed. All of the origin sections are speculation, but the Nidoking page is currently the only one that claims a Pokémon to be based directly off of another ''specific character'' rather than a general concept, myth or legend. Ratatta is based on the general concept of a rat, or mouse, we don't say in its origin section that it based off of Mickey Mouse just because some users would say that they look alike. If during an interview someone at Game Freak says that they based Nidoking off of Baragon, then we can take that as a definitive origin, as long as that isn't the case, I believe it is too speculative to be listed as Nidoking's origin. [[User:Trainer-c|Trainer-c]] 17:54, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

::::::Which is exactly why I was only mostly serious. All we really need for origins is the basics, unless we absolutely ''know'' what something is based off of. Like, Vulpix and Ninetales is easy.

== A question ==

Ah... hello. I have a question relating a shipping article that I started (sorry, did so without permission...) and was deleted by Magnedeth for reasons I don't quite understand; it doesn't help that no discussion items were left behind.

The ship is the SoulSilver one (Silver/Lyra), from HGSS. That one ship bothers me to no end, but I acknowledge that it's valid, so I thought it would be a good idea to start the article over at the shipping category, where I couldn't find it by that name (the only one I know for it), nor by checking the category for Silver nor HGSS pairings. And since over at the TV Tropes wiki it's no big deal for anybody to create an article, I went ahead with the idea, and let it remain a stub because it really is not my ship of choice.

Shortly thereafter, the article was deleted. I went to look at the Project Shipping page (...again; I had checked it before many times), which was the one I guessed was the relevant one for the case, and I kind of didn't find my article violating the rules, so I was left with just a question (OK, at last, this one goes for you): why was the article on the SoulSilverShipping deleted? --[[User:KayiR|KayiR]] 07:13, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

:It was deleted on the basis that the article would never be more than a stub, and all of its hints would be the same as Huntershipping. It would be like making an article for Clingyshipping (Barry/Lucas), NewRivalshipping (May/Wally) or Namelessshipping (Fire!Red/Blue) and expecting the article to be exceptionally different from (and not something that could be c/p'd to) an article on Conflictingshipping (Blue/Leaf), Loverivalshipping (Brendan/Wally), or a game!version only article of {{s|Twinleaf}}.
:Anything that could be said about SoulSilvershipping could be equally applied to Huntershipping; it's not exactly an exclusive 'ship in terms of its hints. And seeing as the opposite gender NPC doesn't crash into the rival at any point (save for the very beginning), the NPC cannot give an individual account of what they think of Silver, which takes even more individual hints away. The entire basis of either 'ship needs to come from Silver (you being the silent protag), and anything he says to Lyra is also the same thing he says to Ethan. So what's considered a hint for one must be considered a hint for the other. It'd be a pretty bias article, on that front. I'll think about if anything can be done in other ways for the couple, but as an individual article, I don't think it will stand up. Thank you for asking, though. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 14:48, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

::Mmm... And shouldn't it be better to at least acknowledge its existence, then say something like "the hints that apply to HunterShipping apply for SoulSilverShipping"? I mean, in case someone else with the same idea as me, but an actual supporter of the ship, came around and made an even bigger fuss? --[[User:KayiR|KayiR]] 17:28, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

:::We hold stricter notability standards for shipping articles. Not every pairing thought of by three fans deserves an entire page.

::::Except SoulSilvershipping is ''popular'', Buzz. However, popularity isn't a reason for notability if its article cannot sustain itself properly. And if people who support it come along and wish to make it, they will likely be given the same reasons they cannot. And like I said, I'll think of something for it. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 18:06, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::Don't some shipping articles have "other names for this ship" sections? Maybe a similar section could be added to HunterShipping, noting that SoulSilverShipping is the shipping name for Silver/Lyra, which goes by the same hints... I realize this could cause a fuss for a completely different reason, but it was the first thing I thought of, so I thought I'd suggest it.

:::That simply means they're destined in some fashion; if this were a shoujo series, I'd be more inclined to agree, but it's shounen. It ain't canon until they're confirmed feelings.

Commoner is apparently one-sided, which doesn't make it canon at all in terms of romance, but canon in terms of character traits.
:::I don't take kindly to people who assume 'ships are true when they are undoubtedly not. In the mean time, the red string is still only a hint.

== Luckyshipping ==

For the trivia you mentioned, "I was wary of the second piece of trivia before, but I've decided neither are viable. The rumor is left because its directly related to the manga's events". Did you notice it was in the trivia section? It's just some unimportant facts that people should know. It doesn't necessarily mean Trivia has to be with the Manga. Sorry to bother you about it ^^ Just wondering why it was removed.
[[User:XLuckyshipper|Luckyshipping - Because they're lucky to be together]] 00:00, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
:I did notice it was trivia (I said it was as much). I removed it because while color-linking is common in video games, it doesn't necessarily mean it's a connection to the 'ship itself. Color-linking usually has a blue-red(-black) pattern, but in this case, it's not connected to the original series, seeing as it's Red/Green+Blue, not Red/Blue+Green (and that would only be a hint for the hero/rival, because the girl is the +1 regardless of what colors you do). J!Blue is an afterthought beyond J!Red/Green.
:I also removed the trivia on BurningLeafshipping, because Red and Leaf don't exist in the same space in the games. If you choose Red, Leaf doesn't exist in-game, and vice-versa. It's commonly accepted they're meant to be the same person, as in, they're different gender variants of the same being: the hero. BurningLeafshipping has as much connection to Luckyshipping as Twinleafshipping has to Haughtyshipping: entirely different circumstances. One's relation has no impact on the other's.

Excuse me, I have a very important shipping that needs to be added. I belive it is you i must talk to to create it. It is called either HatShipping or JohtoShipping, wich ever you think is better, and it is between Lyra and Ethan. Also, could it be on
Category:Shipping as well as The List of shippers? If nessacary, I will write the page for you. Its sorta like the FortuneShipping of Johto.

:Lyra/Ethan is called HeartSoulshipping, and I'm not sure at all if they even interact enough in-game for an article. If you want to try to write an article, first make it in your userspace. Something like '''User:Dermodia/HeartSoulShipping''' and if the article turns out fine, we can make it a full-fledged article. But if it doesn't make the cut, it will not be. You understand?

== My edit in the AdvanceShipping article ==

Hi, I hope it's ok that I'm putting this here and not on the AdvanceShipping discussion page, but I was afraid you wouldn't see this there, since it wasn't used in nearly 2 years...

Anyway, You removed the part I added about the Prince and King of the Sea.

I just wanted to clarify that I didn't mean to say that the titles are related is a fact, just that it's another possible support to the Manaphy sees Ash as his Father theory (I did call it a theory, after all). And Ash is called the King of the Sea, [[Ship]] states that "He who holds the Sea Crown shall become the true King of the Sea." when explaining Ash new powers (At least in the Japanese version, I didn't saw the dubbed version so I don't know if something similar was said there).

Again, I hope that I'm not doing anything wrong by putting this here. [[User:Cag|Cag]] 16:27, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
:Wild speculation without basis doesn't belong on these articles, much like it doesn't belong on any mainspace article. Context is one thing, but nothing I removed is relative to the theory. You implied the titles were related simply by using it as "support" for a theory that's pretty far-fetched to begin with and shouldn't be in the article at all (but I'm letting it stay anyway). Without a connection to the titles, you're basically inserting [[fanon]], and I've grounds to remove what isn't supported in canon.
:And if that is the line, then Ash's claim to the "King of the Sea" title is a throw-away line, BTW. Nothing more than a statement connecting back to the legend without impacting Ash's story. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 18:33, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

== Help... ==

I am having a problem. It says that we need a NeoRocketShipping article, but I don't know how to make the thing with the Luvdisc... And when I am trying to put a photo on the page, how do I control where it goes on the page?

I'm really sorry for bothering you, but I really need help...

Thanks,Eliza 23:18, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

== New Ship ==

Don't you think there should be a page for Chris and Eusine? There are so many hints; it'd be a great page!
I'm not saying it has to be done now, or anytime soon, but just think about. That's all I ask.

--[[User:Ggb81|Ggb81]] 02:42, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

== Dub hints ==

I was wondering what your stance on dub hints are. I've seen that one user keeps removing hints from [[RocketShipping]] on the basis that they are dub-added lines and don't matter. But [[PokéShipping]] has many dub hints listed. So should dub lines be allowed or removed? Or does it depend on the situation? --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 02:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
:The Rocketshippers monitoring that article believe the only hints of merit are the ones from the original source. It's a bad double standard that I understand where they're coming from, since a dub can't make canon what isn't from the original, but at the same time, you're right, we do have a lot of dub-added hints in the others. Ultimately, we're catering to an English speaking audience, and I wonder in that case, maybe there should be a separate section on the article for dub stuff, since that is the version most people are familiar with. *rubs neck* But then comes being trouble in its own right, since most of the fanbase couldn't decipher crud for the raw version of their ship enough to make the comparison. Maybe a tag. ('''DUB HINT''' blah blah blah.) [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 04:03, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

== Confidence in abilities ==

Sorry for bothering you again. I just wanted to know if confidence in abilities are valid hints. Like how Cilan didn't worry too much about Pansage being sick after Iris gave it the medicine she had made.

I'm asking because a user [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Shipping:WishfulShipping&curid=119311&diff=1376056&oldid=1375854&rcid=1471630 reverted] an edit I made about Iris being confident in Cilan's abilities in [[BW019]] on the basis that "having faith is not a valid hint". Even though he says it isn't valid, hints like those are all over the place. I'd just feel better having a clear answer from you as I felt the revert was a little unjust. Especially considering what he said afterwards which is untrue of what actually happened.

Though I do admit that if I am allowed to add it back, I will word it slightly differently. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:21, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
:Confidence is usually taken in the subtext of how the character is presented with its said (where the person is in the frame, like a close-up, or Ash's reaction to it), and can usually be a best-judgment thing. Having not seen the episode (yet?), I couldn't tell you if it should stay or not. ._. On the other hand, if it was put in there and even if it's a valid point, is it a valid hint without the shipping goggles? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 12:07, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
::Looking at it now, maybe this one particular isn't that strong, given how Iris put it. It was just the reason for its removal that bothered me. This is good to know that they are valid hints. Thank you for clearing it up :) --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 13:55, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Well, it's definitely all about context and presentation. =) If the writers and animators want something to mean something, they will show it somehow, be it slight or obvious. That said, ^^; we might have to go through the rest of those kinds of hints. *grk* Toss-out lines are basically the same as being saved: nice to hear and see, but can it count?

== Official guide proved wrong? ==

Hi, I saw [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=White_Forest&diff=prev&oldid=1403310 this] edit summary mentioning me and the guide on the White Forest page, and since I have been posting various things from it as what I believed was correct, I thought I'd ask, what in it is known to be wrong?
About all I've noticed mistake-wise is stuff like an extra space before a closing bracket... Thanks in advance, [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 11:25, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
:Ah, it was merely that the table you provided concerning the BC/WF trainers (I assume your thoroughness in double-checking what you've provided, so I assume the table is exactly what the guide says). First thing I noticed was how the trainers in Back City own the evolutions of the pokémon they generate in White Forest. The table you provided, however, said Lena generates Azurill when she owns Gallade and Gardevoir, meaning she would generate Ralts. But since we don't have Molly's trainer info to back the difference, I was simply using the table to reference the surfing pokemon, and not using it to enter /all/ the trainers in, only leaving out the ones we don't have the team info for. =o I hope this clarifies it. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 11:52, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
:So rather, it's just a little infallible. That's it. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 11:55, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
::Ah, oh, I can be dumb sometimes. After I spent so long checking that table, [http://i.imgur.com/ufoOl.jpg somehow I swapped the Pokemon for Lena and Molly]. Thanks for noticing, and apologies that I made a mistake like this. I've noticed too that they have the evolved forms in Black City, but they're not listed in the guide... Either way, I've now edited my original post, but if after this you don't believe in the accuracy of the rest of it, feel free not to. Sorry. x.x [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 14:03, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

== Umm ==

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Shipping:CafeMochaShipping&diff=next&oldid=1445136 Why exactly was this similarity removed]? I'm a bit confused... Is it because Sewaddle has since evolved and may not have the same ability? If that's it, I can reword it differently. The point was that that both of their Pokémon had their abilities revealed in that episode. The similarity is not that different to the one about them both catching a Pokémon in BW035 which was left there. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:42, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry, for butting in, but I really don't think that two trainer's Pokémon having both of their abilities revealed in the same episode counts as a romantic thing. I'm just saying. :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 00:46, 30 May 2011 (UTC)

:The wording made it sound like there was too much emphasis on them being "part bug with abilities starting with S". If the idea was "they were revealed at the same time," it's lost in the wording simply because that last sentence doesn't sound like an afterthought, but the main thought. Abilities being revealed is also a little too trivial. I know abilities being revealed is a big thing, but it strikes me more as really grasping to say something about the subject at hand. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 01:13, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
::So... If it just didn't have that one part would it be okay? Worded like the Pokémon capture one? I'm not saying it's necessarily a "big deal", but it is a similarity.

:Well, it's not really doing anything for the article except being animated. The still-frame high-five is more shipper than that is, to be frank. If it were removed, I won't miss it. If it was meant to be a personal image and not an image uploaded for the purpose of being added to the article, it probably shouldn't be there at all. ...Which doesn't mean save it as a shipping image to preserve it.

== Bite ==

Another Moderator told me that Pokemon that learn a move from a pre-evolution (but do not learn it themselves) should still remain on the breeding fathers list because they are still part of their natural learnsets. I don't know if that's changed / if you've heard differently from another higher-up, but I've reverted your edit for now. Examples where this also occurs is how Vibrava / Flygon are listed under Feint, while only Trapinch learns it and Vileplume is listed under Moonlight, when only Oddish / Gloom learn it.[[User:Gymnotide|Gymnotide]] 11:09, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
:If a pokémon cannot naturally learn a move in its own, why should it be listed as a father? If you have a Vibrava, thinking you'll be able to heartscale for Feint to breed onto a Gligar, you're basically giving false information, since it's not true. If it's listed in the can-learn list, it's a proper father. But if the only Eevee you have is Espeon with Psybeam/Morning Sun/Swift/Power Swap, you aren't gonna be getting a Rattata with Bite from it. Fathers should be the most readily available to have the moves in their move pool; if an evolution does not have said move in their move pool, they cannot be a father by proxy.

::Alright. I wasn't sure, which is why I wrote on your talk page.

::::Noooo!! Arcanine learns Bite in Gen III :P But... What do we do about chain-breeding then? Some Pokemon list chain-breeding targets when they have non-chained fathers as well. Should these be removed? [[User:Gymnotide|Gymnotide]] 14:06, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
:::::Ah jeez. I'm too used to thinking "start with Gen 2". Breeding should come in levels. If an egg move can be learned through a naturally-learned father, only those fathers should be in the table. If the father ''only'' learns the move through a TM/HM/tutor, that should be noted. And if the only way is through actual chain breed (regardless if their parent learned it naturally or through TM), only the earliest breeedable father should be in the table (meaning only Wailmer and no Wailord, and Mantine but no Mantyke, as examples). ....

[[User:Pokedex493|Pokedex493]] 00:49, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
:Cilan/Burgundy already has an article here: {{s|Sommelier}}, so any further hints you have to contribute can be added to that.

== Shipping Confusion ==

Good afternoon Project Leader,I have a question to ask.
I've recently saw the pairings made in the Shipping section and came across this.
-PalletShipping: Ash and Gary-

As I've seen in the anime there is no sign of attraction between these two,actually Ash doesn't show any sign of attraction towards no character especially boys.
Also it would seem quite inappropiate to make homosexual pairings in the anime.Don't get me wrong,I am not homophobic.
In the ending I would like to say that a possible Shipping could be between {{an|Brock}} and [[Wilhelmina]] as seen in [[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]].

Thank you in advance.
Looking forward for your answer. 14:31, 14 February 2012 (UTC) DJ Wolfy

:The articles are to acknowledge belief and list what is used in canon to show why such a relationship might be possible. It's not inappropriate in the least, given the show canonically has pokémon falling in love with humans, so I'm not sure what your point is here. You aren't a Palletshipper; that's cool. Neither am I. Articles focusing on male/male and female/female won't be removed because people fear it "promotes" something (the anime barely promotes romance as is, and certainly doesn't promote most, if not ALL of the pairings made into articles); they will be removed if and only if they do not meet article standards.
:Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean others don't. It's called shipping goggles. And Sissyshipping (Brock/Wilhemina) had its time; it is acknowledge she was one of the few who liked him (and fewer still who he liked in return), and while possible, it doesn't make it any less speculative to be "possible" and remains a non-canonical belief. Like the majority of the shipping articles. I hope this answers whatever you were trying to get across. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 16:52, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Well,I didn't meant to say it promotes anything,I meant to say it's inappropiate to be called homosexual pairings.On the other hand if they are male the pair could just be called... PokePals or Buddies,would sound more appropiate.And about Pokémon falling in love with humans,they fall for them as a pet for its master.Well,hope I didn't caused much trouble.

Thank you for your quick response. 20:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC) DJ Wolfy
:Then I'm not sure what you're getting at. 'Shipping is the belief of a ''romantic'' relationship, which means the term Palletshipping covers a homosexual pairing; to call it anything else is incorrect. Just because they are not a couple in canon doesn't make the belief of them a couple (thus "Palletshipping") any less gay. It's what it is. It's not a term for a friendship. ...And you might argue pet-to-master for Chikorita or Aipom, but most would agree that Latias was full-on in love with Ash (which is not the same thing as an adoring pet). And now I hope I've cleared up your inquiry. I'm sorry I misunderstod earlier. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 22:54, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Well,yes,but that may be because of Latias' possibility of gaining human shape,you can't really call it zoophilia or as it said in Pokéhistory "Evolution has come, separating humans from Pokémon, to create the first humans",meaning that humans and Pokémons ar from the same species "and one folk tale even says that there was a time when humans and Pokémon were considered one and the same".Well I still disagree with the homosexual pairing,and I say it again I'm not homophobic.I'm not against Shipping,I just wanted to clarify my confusion.Well that's it for now.Thank you for your help.

== Shipping Splitshipping (Clay x Elesa) ==

I was told you were the person to come to for this.

I was sleep deprived when the paring popped into my head and upon looking it up i got Splitshippin, the "split" being Driftveil Drawbridge

reasons

''Elesa is a fashion model and would likely have rich tastes...and Clay is rich''

That's all i could come up with without knowing if she has daddy issues.

So should it be added to the list [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 01:08, 5 June 2012 (UTC)
:As much as I like Splitshipping personally, it's got only one interaction for a basis, and even then, all you could say at most about them canonically is "Clay trusts Elesa when it comes to trainers," but that's games only. That's not enough at all for it to have any sort of mention for it as an article or part of an article, though I'm hoping BW2 will shed more light on their relationship, if there is one.
:That said, looking at what you were talking about with KG, Splitshipping /is/ on the Shippers' List. It's just that the Shipper's List and the list of 'ships here aren't one and the same; the list on BP is '''only''' for 'ships that have their own articles or are mentioned in group articles.

== Typhlosion ==
You said: "The use of English "typhoon" is correct., as "fuu" =/= "phoon"."
Going to need an explanation of your reasoning there. The English word "typhoon" has common roots with the Japanese word "taifuu" and they literally mean the same thing; the "phoon" is equivalent to the "fuu" (I tried to highlight this in the edit summary). Given that the kanji in "bakufuu" (which is on its own a visibly obvious source for the name) is exactly the same as that in "taifuu", such an origin would be redundant - you could just as well explain the name "bakufuun" as simply adding an "n" to the end of an existing word. If we look at the word "typhoon" on its own, all we would be getting is the "n" sound. That could just as well come from any other word with a similar sound (some candidates may be raccoon or dragoon, but there's no real limit here), or even be just an addition for the purpose of style, with no particular meaning behind it apart from making the name distinct from the real world. If "typhoon" is going to be included as part of the Japanese name origin, it should be properly explained and justified, or attributed to an official source. There is, on the balance of evidence, no reason whatsoever to think that the word "typhoon" is relevant to the name.[[User:Drivorobotnik|Drivorobotnik]] ([[User talk:Drivorobotnik|talk]]) 04:19, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
:But since only the katakana says 'bakufuun', you're looking at the name all wrong and why that section even exists. Since the official spelling is Bakphoon, the name origin is used to explain WHY it's intended to be spelled that way and not as 'Bakufuun' (which no one has to justify since it's ''not'' romanized in such a way and is not the intended spelling; it's simply the katakana that makes it up). If the official romanization had been Bakufuun, it would have then been likely suggested to be a corruption of 'bakufuu' and a combination of 'bakufuu' and 'taifuu', since 'Typhlosion' has to get its random 'typh' from ''somewhere''. A lot of name origins also rely on looking at all the other languages to see how they were gotten, since localizers use the root origins as inspirations for their own lingual names, so since the English name is a combination of 'typhoon' and 'explosion', and 'bakufuu' means 'blast', the typhoon in Typhlosion seems to come out of nowhere, except when you realize 'Bakphoon' has the same 'typhoon' word origin. And this isn't the first time a Japanese name has been spelled with a combination of Jp and Eng words. So no, there is no reason to explain the origin of the word 'typhoon' as possible 'taifuu' when 'taifuu' has ''nothing'' to do with the spelling 'phoon' and 'typhoon' possibly does. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 11:34, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
::It seems as though you've either misread or misunderstood. I'm not saying that "taifuu" is the origin of the Japanese name - simply that there's no need to consider an origin other than "bakufuu" as it is. The consideration that the "fuu" in "bakufuu" and the "phoon" in "typhoon" is peripheral support for this perspective - a repeated etymology makes little sense. Indeed if you look at the edit I made, I did not (and did not suggest) replacing "typhoon" with "taifuu", but rather, determined "typhoon" to not be necessary (and so neither "taifuu"). I feel that the English name is of little relevance here - although if we are to raise the point, and accept as true the premise you have presented (that English names are constructed to be distinct from, but linguistically similar to, Japanese names), then my aside may be considered, since, after all, that kanji which provides the "fuu" sound is a solid link between "typhoon" (for "Typhlosion") and "bakufuu" - but that is tangential at best. Rest assured that I am not "all wrong" - indeed I myself considered the listed romanisation, and am ready to admit that it would present a fatal flaw to my reasoning. Be that as it may, I cannot, try as I might, find any sort of reliable source for the romanisation "Bakphoon". Were such a source presented, I would be perfectly satisfied with the information currently listed - although I may make the suggestion that a more concrete policy on referencing is adopted and enforced so as to avoid such confusions.[[User:Drivorobotnik|Drivorobotnik]] ([[User talk:Drivorobotnik|talk]]) 17:00, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

::::Having trouble qualifying that source. The Wikipedia page on Typhlosion specifically lists the name as "Bakufūn", and although the page that cites the image you shared does list "Bakphoon", the reference is to a Bandai product (which, from the look of things, seems to be an obscure collectible, from the look of them they may be from gashapon toys; I am unable to find mention of this set of cards, even on Bulbapedia). This raises the question of whether, in light of the franchise's ownership, third-party (albeit presumably licensed) products are a proper source of definitive canon names. Without verification of this, the best we might say is that, on this set of cards released by Bandai, the romanisation given to Typhlosion by Bandai would appear to be based on the word "typhoon" - that, to me, does not sound like any sort of concrete statement, as it lacks authentic support from an authoritative source of canon. On a side note, that particular image seems to write Buizel's name as "Booysel", not "Buoysel" (which is what has been used) - this should raise doubts about the suitability of a low-resolution image as a source.[[User:Drivorobotnik|Drivorobotnik]] ([[User talk:Drivorobotnik|talk]]) 01:56, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
:::::They are given the official romanizations. And yeah, it probably is an obscure piece of merchandise, but the fact that it and every other piece of merchandise with a romanization of the name on it use that romanization means that it is pretty obvious it is accurate. Merchandise is the primary use for official romanizations, so we should rely on it, especially when it is a major company like Bandai that makes a lot of it. Buizel's name is chopped off in the middle; it still says "Buoysel", the bottom of a "U" just looks the same as the bottom of an "O" in that font. And my point was not the content Wikipedia has, but their source; what is actually on Wikipedia is unreliable and irrelevant if unsourced (and even if sourced, it is the source that matters). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:26, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Bandai is indeed a major company which releases a lot of merchandise, but they do not own the intellectual property behind the franchise. What that source seems to tell us (and what I acknowledged earlier) is that those particular Bandai products have been named like that - it does not, beyond allowing such a statement, seem authoritative. I would have strong reservations about regarding Bandai as any sort of official source for canon information. And, as you said, it is the source that matters.

The articles seems to be more a guide on how they are in the games, instead of their relevance in the game/anime/manga/TCG. Compare [[Wikipedia:Bulbasaur]] with [[Bulbasaur]], for instance. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 00:02, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

I'm sorry, that wasn't terribly clear - what do you mean? What is lacking on the Bulbapedia article? Is it just a matter of depth covered (we might be the biggest Pokémon wiki encyclopedia, but we don't get the kind of activity Wikipedia gets) - or something else? As far as I can see, the Wikipedia articles are structured quite like ours. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 03:36, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
:The articles just need some fleshing out. - [[User:A Link to the Past|A Link to the Past]] 06:34, 7 September 2005 (CDT)
::Then it's nothing to be concerned about. Nothing is ever "done" - it's always open for improvement. Admittedly, it would be nice to have it fleshed out, but we simply don't have the kind of activity Wikipedia gets... so unless you're volunteering to do the work or help convince others to come contribute their work to Bulbapedia, you're just going to have to wait. Bulbapedia, like the Pokémon WikiProject, relies on volunteered work. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:07, 7 September 2005 (CDT)

== GameShark/Action Replay Codes? ==

Someone want to put up an explanation for we non-cheating types what the heck those codes are for and why they're in the article? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 06:25, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

PS: the emerald shiny sprite is missing
:Actually, the sprites fall under {{bp|Project Pokédex}}. And yes, I know the Emerald shiny sprite is missing... I haven't been able to find it.

*There are several sites out there with sprites. Pokemon elite 2000 and upokecenter are good candidates; however it is better to do them yourself.

:I'm pretty sure it would be "Bulba-by," to fit with "lullaby."

You know, on the [[cry]] page, there's information stating there's only 37 "different" cries that make the 151 sounds (obviously stuff like Mewtwo, Mew, Paras, and Parasect have the same underlying cry), but it'd be awesome if we could get someone to compile a list of all the Pokémon that use those specific cries.

==Type Advantages over Gym Leaders==

This is kind of a small thing, but it's listed that Bulbasaur has a type advantage over the first two gym leaders in Kanto. But since Lt. Surge uses electric types, that gives Bulbasaur a defensive advantage without an offensive disadvantage (as would be the case with Erika). So shouldn't Bulbasaur be listed as having a type advantage over the first three gym leaders? [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:Saying it has a type advantage for that means like when you used a Razor Leaf against Onix or Staryu it would say "It's Super Effective!". Grass type moves don't do that against Electric types, so technically it is true like it already is. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:So saying it has a type advantage is limited ONLY to an attack advantage? That doesn't seem right. That would mean there's a difference in nomenclature between Bulbasaur vs. Onix (Offensive only) and Bulbasaur vs. Starmie (Offensive and Defensive). But no such differentiation has ever been used. [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 19:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

:Type advantage is only limited to Attack Advantage, due to Nintendo and the whole Pokémon community thinking you know the strengths and weaknesses of your Pokémon, so if you send out a Ice less Starmie against a Bulbasaur, you are only hurting your self. But, if you but a Bulbasaur against a Starmie, you are giving your self a advantage, due to the Attacks you gave them.

Hey- maybe i'm the first, but when i play Sapphire, Bulbasaur's back sprite is the same as bulbapedia's, however my Fire Red game shows a different back sprite.

I've seen this type of thing in many other Trivia sections, like in the Moltres page where it notes that earlier artwork sometimes showed Moltres's wings as fully engulfed, rather than partially engulfed, and I see this as similar. Could it be included? [[User:Tadzo|Tadzo]] 02:09, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
:Not notable as far as I know since the mixture between appears to be teal (which is a hue between Blue and Green). That and it looks pretty obvious to most players (or so I would hope). As for that stuff on the Moltres page, <s>its there because it is noting it's current design and how looked in its beta form.</s> Only time I've seen sprite trivia seemingly needed was if it noted it having to have a change in posture due to how offensive it could be to some people ({{p|Registeel}} in Diamond and Pearl) or if the coloring was changed do to how some people were offended by it ({{p|Jynx}}). ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 02:18, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
:Ah, as for Moltres, it's noted because of its overall sprite changes between generations or games, similar to how Kakuna's arms were noted being there in generation one but not any of the others. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 02:22, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

== Frog ==

Just because of it's ears and basic evolution doesn't mean it's not a frog: it is a dinosaur as well.

Here's images to prove it.:

What possible reason could there be for not using the evolution template? [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 21:35, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

== No. Just. No. ==

It's not a freaking Pokémon, so don't say it is. :/ [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 23:47, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Never said it was. All I want to know is why the evolution template isn't used. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 20:10, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

==Movset==

If 'M learns Pound at Lv138, can't we put Pound on it's moveset? -PokemonTrainer7738

It WAS on there-some vandal removed it. I just put it back on.--

== Evolving into Rhydon ==

On the [[Kangaskhan_(Pokémon)|Kangaskhan's page]] it's said that 'M can also evolve into a Rhydon. If it's true, shouldn't it be mentioned? {{unsigned|Pokeresp}}
:i didnt know M' could evolve into Rhydon. all of mine evolved into Kangaskhan. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 00:49, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
'M cannot evolve into Rhydon, only Kangaskhan at Lv. 0 and Clefairy at Lv. 128. -- {{unsigned|Boxman}}

Actually, any non-hybrid Glitch Pokémon can be transformed into a Rhydon via the following method:

1: Deposit the chosen Glitch Pokémon into Bill's PC.

2: View its stats.

3: Withdraw it. It should've turned into a Rhydon, yet will still have the glitch Pokémon's name, stats, and attacks. If you want to turn this Rhydon back into a Glitch Pokémon, drop it off at the Daycare and come back for it. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 13:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, but I wouldn't consider that evolution, it sounds like the Q glitch, just without the move swapping.--[[User:Boxman|Boxman]]

I don't consider it evolution, either. I'm [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]], and I approve this [[User Talk:Missingno. Master|message.]] 14:02, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

== Blocks in 'M's name ==

After going to my dusty old copy of {{v2|Red}} I've been purposely encountering as many MissingNo. and 'M as I possibly could. I've noticed that the blocks in 'M's name seem to depend on the sprites on both sides of the battle. When first encountered, the first two blocks appear to be portions of {{ga|Red}}'s backsprite, where the last two blocks are portions of 'M's sprite. After sending out the different Pokémon in my party, the first two blocks kept changing to match portions of the most recent Pokémon's backsprite. Might this info about 'M's name be notable trivia? - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] '''|''' 21:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

== 'M Always obtainable with Old Man Trick? ==

According to the article, no matter what your character's name is, you'll always have a chance of running into an 'M on Pokemon R/B. I disagree with this. In my Blue version, I used the default name "JOHN", and I have never once encountered an 'M while using the Old Man Trick. 'M may be common with several names (I believe I've encountered it using BLUE, and using ANDREW), but I don't think it is encounterable with any name. --[[User:AndrewFM|AndrewFM]] 11:38, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

== Gen II question ==
If you sucessfully trade 'M (or Missingno.) to Gold/Silver, can it be traded back?

Also, will the game freeze or something because Gen II pokemon are not allowed in the Time Capsule? [[User:PokemonTrainer7738|PokemonTrainer7738]] 18:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

== Move? ==

can we move this page to ▄█ 'M ▓▒? [[User:ShinyPikachu/Petition|Never Give Up]] [[User:ShinyPikachu|'''Pika''']] 00:31, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
:No. That's quite ridiculous. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 00:32, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

==▄█ 'M ▓▒==
Ca we take out all instances of ▄█ 'M ▓▒ in this article. Those aren't even the correct symbols. An image of its name would be good in one place, but ▄█ 'M ▓▒ is not good. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|Snorlax]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|Monster]] 09:46, 10 December 2009 (UTC)

Er... ▄█ 'M ▓▒ is actually the closest you can get to ▄█ 'M ▓▒'s actual name. Any closer and a new set of dingbats would have to be released, and I doubt it's enough reason to do so. [[User:Master Luxray|Master Luxray]] 11:25, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
:Close enough is not good enough. Besides, ▄█ 'M ▓▒ is nowhere near. Use an image if you can't type it (see {{pdollar}}). We have [[File:RBGlitchName00.png]] (despite it not being used). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:04, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== About level ==

Sorry, but I was using a short name of 3 characters, and 'M appeared at level 80!!! And I caught it, normally. {{unsigned|Aasquasar}}
:Fixed. 'M can appear at level 80 if you have an odd number of characters in your name (as long as it is not a default name, which prevent 'M from appearing at all). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:46, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

== Evolution ==

Im sorry, but I have never seen any proof of 'M evolving into Clefairy, all I have seen that it evolves into Kanaskhan. So can someone show me proof of 'M evolving into Clefairy? [[User:Iml908|Iml908]] 21:01, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

== Should it be noted? ==

Should the stupid rumours that :'M was a scrapped prevoulotion to kangashkan that was shoved into a empty slot be mentioned?These are extremely fake (duh its moveset) but should they be mentioned? {{unsigned|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP}}
:No, I don't think they should. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Also, Bias? Literally everything in Bulbapedia has a degree of Bias. Literally anything we say has a degree of bias. Should we just destroy this entire site just to keep it unbiased?

:::::::::::::Sigh, fine, do whatever (Though having the whole Tracey/Brock debacle, regardless of whether it was settled by someone who works with the show or not, was still technically fanwank, as it's a common fan controversy, and therefore, regardless of confirmation, should be removed.). But can you at least keep the Mayumi Iizuka blog thing in the trivia? I mean, considering how Brock's article got away with the whole "Eric Stuart confirmed that Brock's last name is Harrison" thing in the trivia, keeping the Mayumi Iizuka blog would be fair enough. I'd add it back in myself, but, as stated before, I can't edit the articles due to it possibly being permanently locked out on editing. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 11:48, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Another thing I should point out. The Masamitsu Hidaka thing should NOT be mentioned in the article, either. I mean, there's still a degree of controversy on whether what he said was legit or not (For goodness sakes, even the biggest of the "Misty cannot return" fans, Kasumi, a mod on BMGf, and a co-owner of the Misty club on there, had stated that his statement isn't set in stone.).
:::::::::::::Plus, considering how he didn't even know about Pokemon Platinum being in development, despite, oh... I don't know, Corocoro having covered the development of the game to death, most of everyone and their brother knowing about it, the fact that [[Shaymin (Pokémon)#Sky Forme|two]] [[Giratina (Pokémon)#Origin Forme|Alternate forms]] that debuted in Platinum appeared in a certain Pokémon Blockbuster, among other things, when he earlier bragged about how Ash and Pikachu are going to be part of the show for as long as the Games keep selling, not to mention he and his writing staff's lie about Ash's father appearing in Season 5 in that director's commentary in the Entei Movie, that definitely can't be inserted into the article, not even in the Trivia section. I mean, we don't mention the fact that he said that most of Ash's old pokémon will be making appearances in any of their trivia sections/articles, so why's this any different.

::::Vector art is just the same as a scan only cleaner. There's hardly a difference. Besides, I did the vectoring, so there's no need to worry about permission. Anyway... I'm just bummed that Misty's page isn't updated yet while the other Gym Leaders already have their new teams and sprites in their pages. How long will this page be protected anyway?

== Her date. ==

She doesn't go on a date, in HGSS? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 01:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes, she does. [[User:Ginkumo|~ ぎんくも]] 02:05, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
:It's very similar to the storyline in the Chronicles episode "A Date With Delcatty". [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 14:09, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

== There's a discrepancy between two different Wikis about Starmie's moveset in FR/LG... ==

I was reading [http://poketeca.com/wiki/Misty this article about Misty on Pokéteca, a Spanish Wiki] when I noticed a discrepancy. I noticed that according to Pokéteca, Misty's Starmie in FireRed and LeafGreen knows the moves [[Rapid Spin]] (''Giro Rápido''), [[Water Gun]] (''Pistola Agua''), [[Swift]] (''Rapidez''), and [[Water Pulse]] (''Hidropulso'') (see [http://poketeca.com/wiki/Misty#Pok.C3.A9mon_Rojo_Fuego_y_Verde_Hoja this link]). However, the article here on Bulbapedia says that her Starmie knows [[Rapid Spin]], [[Swift]], [[Recover]], and [[Water Pulse]]. Notice that on Pokéteca, the article says that Starmie knows [[Water Gun]], but here on Bulbapedia, the article says that Starmie knows [[Recover]]. Which article is correct? Obviously, at least one of these articles is incorrect. [[User:Blaziken257|Blaziken257]] 01:29, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

It has Recover, it used it against me. --[[File:Spr b 4d 390.png]] [[User:Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.|Pokemon Trainer Bowser Jr.]] [[ 22:37, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

== Main picture ==

I know the general Bulbapedia policy is to use Ken Sugimori's latest artwork, but do you think for Misty's main picture we should use an anime picture? Misty is more well-known for her role in the anime than in the games, and her HG/SS artwork looks quite different from her anime appearance. Some people will look up this article and say, "Hang on, that's not Misty!" [[User:Taromon777|'''''Taromon''''']] 12:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
:A lot of other characters like her have that too... check out [[James]] and [[Jessie]]. They both have Sugimori artwork, even though they're known for the anime. So i think we should keep it how it is. [[User:CherryParanoia|CherryParanoia]] 09:20, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
::Just because they appear in the anime and are probably a bit more known because of it, doesn't mean we have to have an anime pic. It would be out of place, because the only people we use anime pics for thier main one are the [[COD]]'s. The only reason Ash doesn't have a Sugimori pic is because he never appeared in the games, and that's what the Sugimori artwork is made to promote. That's also why there's an "In the anime" section, and they're normally smaller than the "In the games" sections.

== EToP Pokémon ==

I don't recall Misty owing a Shellder or Togepi in EToP. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:37, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

== Could this be trivia? ==

Misty is/was the only main character that has been seen as an infant?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 01:39, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

== Eye color ==

The original Sugimori arts, including the GSC one, seems to show her with brown eyes instead of blue. Is that notable? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 00:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
:Not really. That seemed to be the case with all of the characters. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:31, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

== Blue eyes or green? ==

What's her eye color in all medias? This page lists it as mostly blue. Are they a cyan-like shade of blue or green? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 01:13, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

== FAC? ==
I think this article is really high-quality, on par with [[Brock]]'s article - or maybe even a little better - which is itself a featured article. So, I propose that Misty be nominated as a featured article candidate. But I don't wanna screw up by jumping the gun, so could I get an admin's word on this? Thanks. —[[User:Oz|'''オ''']][[User talk:Oz|'''ッ''']][[Special:Contributions/Oz|'''ズ''']] @ 05:24, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

...then there should be a disambiguation notice at the top linking to [[Misty (anime)]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:18, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:There is already a note in the anime section of this article. I think that is sufficient, seeing as it is where the previous information was and there is a paragraph or two outlining Misty's role in the anime. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::I disagree. I actually thing we need a disambiguation page like May and Dawn have. I also think we need them for Brock, Iris, and Cilan. Just because they're gym Leaders doesn't mean their game personas are more important. --[[User:Ggb81|Ggb81]] 15:48, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
:::The page isn't just about their game personas though. It also includes their manga and TCG personas. Their anime personas are also important, which is why they have their own articles. We don't need to disambiguate, because this is the correct page. This is the Misty pool, and Misty (anime) is essentially part which got so big that it broke off. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:25, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

== Manga appearances ==

Should the information about Misty's appearance in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] be moved to [[Misty (anime)]] (with a link on this page to [[Misty (anime)#In the manga]] or something)? EToP is kind of hard to place sometimes because it is a manga and while it has unique events and whatnot, it is at base an adaptation of the anime. What do you guys think? --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 15:11, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, since it's based on the anime Misty go ahead and move it to her anime page. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチュウ!''']] 20:39, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

== New trivia? ==

It is quite obvious that while Misty is very afraid of bugs, they seem to like her. I am currently watching the beginning of the anime; in EP003 Caterpie likes her very much and in EP004 Weedle acts the same way. Maybe this relationship between Misty and Bug Pokémon is persistant? --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 23:39, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
:She is mentioned to be afraid of bugs {{an|Misty|here}}. This only occurs in the anime, so it belongs there, not here. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:38, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Since this also relates to trivia: What does this even mean? ''Misty is the only character in the Pokémon franchise to have a recurring Pokémon in all the franchise media, the Pokémon being Starmie.'' If that means what I think it means, then this is wrong, because she apparently doesn't own a Starmie in Pocket Monsters (Manga).--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 01:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
:Removed. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:44, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

== VS artworks ==

What bothers me is that the "VS" Sugimori artworks of Kanto Gym Leader faces are under the TCG section. Those are definitely supposed to be their Generation II faceshots, they are done in the same style as Johto GL faces and they're used alongside Johto faces in the VS artwork. They definitely belong to the same stock. I think their place is under game artworks (even the artworks from Gym Heroes/Challenge are there). TCG artwork section should be for card illustrations only. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:08, 19 August 2011 (UTC)

== Anime Page ==

For the Anime pages we have on gym leaders, specifically, Misty, Iris, Cilan, and Brock, I've seen that there are no disambiguation pages or even notices. Since we have such pages for other game characters who are major characters in the Anime (May and Dawn for example) shouldn't we have them for the gym leaders as well? --[[User:Ggb81|Ggb81]] 00:31, 8 December 2011 (UTC)
