'''Rustboro City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|カナズミシティ}}''' ''Kanazumi City'') is a metropolis located in western [[Hoenn]]. It is the fourth-largest city in Hoenn, after [[Mauville City]], [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]]. Rustboro City has an unusual yet unique cityscape in the Hoenn [[region]]. The buildings' architectures are designed with stones, giving it an old-town feeling.

According to the Cutter's daughter, Rustboro was expanded to accommodate its growing size with the help of the Cutter's Pokémon which cleared the trees. The [[Devon Corporation]] is headquartered in the northwest side of the city. The first Gym is located here with [[Roxanne]] as the [[Gym Leader]].

==Slogan==
'''''The city probing the integration of nature and science.''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|しぜんと　かがくの　ゆうごうを　ついきゅうする　まち}}''' ''The city probing the integration of nature and science.'')

==Places of interest==
===Devon Corporation===
{{main|Devon Corporation}}
Rustboro serves as the establishment for the [[Devon Corporation]], a company which makes many [[item]]s for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The company headquarters is located in the northwest corner of the city, and takes the appearance of a large, old-fashioned looking building. A sign outside reads:

{{sign|E|header}}
{{sign|E|title|DEVON CORPORATION}}
{{sign|E|"For all your living needs, we make}}
{{sign|E|it all."}}
{{sign|E|footer}}

Apart from developing improved and innovative items, the company also revives Pokémon from [[Fossil]]s. The Devon Corporation's workers are also attempting to build impossible machines such as one that can transform people into Pokémon. In the south section of the town is an apartment complex for Devon employees.

===Cutter's house===
A Cutter lives near the [[Pokémon Center]] with his daughter.

When the city of Rustboro was undergoing expansion, the Cutter had his Pokémon use Cut to help clear the land of trees. He will give the {{player}} {{HM|01|Cut}}. According to May/Brendan, he has a younger brother in [[Mauville City]], which is the person that gives out {{HM|06|Rock Smash}} in [[Generation III]].

===Elyssa's house===
Elyssa's House is located next to the [[Gym]] in Rustboro City. By talking to Elyssa, the player is given the option to make an [[in-game trade]]. In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Elyssa wants a {{p|Slakoth}}, and will trade a {{p|Makuhita}} named Makit in exchange. Makit is holding an [[X Attack]].

====Kobe's house====
In {{v2|Emerald}}, Elyssa gets replaced by Kobe and he will instead want a {{p|Ralts}} (found on {{rt|102|Hoenn}}), and will trade a {{p|Seedot}} named Dots in exchange. Dots is holding a [[Chesto Berry]].

===Pokémon Trainers' School===
{{main|Pokémon Trainers' School}}
The [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] is located east of the Pokémon Center. A sign outside reads:

{{sign|E|header}}
{{sign|E|title|POKéMON TRAINER'S SCHOOL}}
{{sign|E|"We'll teach you anything about}}
{{sign|E|POKéMON!"}}
{{sign|E|footer}}

Inside are five students and a teacher, who gives the {{player}} the Quick Claw. Talking to the students also reveals helpful information. Behind the teacher is the blackboard with the list of [[status condition]]s ({{status|Poison}}, {{status|Burn}}, {{status|Freeze}}, {{status|Paralysis}}, and {{status|Sleep}}) that may affect Pokémon in a {{pkmn|battle}}. In the anime, [[Roxanne]], the local Gym Leader, runs the school.

===Walda's house===
In {{game|Emerald}}, a sad young girl named [[Walda]] lives between the [[Pokémon Center]] and the [[Devon Corporation]] building. If the proper 'funny' word is given to her caretaker, she will reward the player with a [[Pokémon Storage System#Walda|new wallpaper]] for the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

===Rustboro Gym===
{{main|Rustboro Gym}}
[[Rustboro Gym]] is the first Gym a player must face in the [[Hoenn]] region. It is located in the northern part of Rustboro, east of the Devon Corporation. The sign outside reads:

{{sign|E|header}}
{{sign|E|title|RUSTBORO CITY POKéMON GYM}}
{{sign|E|title|LEADER: ROXANNE}}
{{sign|E|"The ROCK-loving honors student!"}}
{{sign|E|footer}}

The Gym Leader is [[Roxanne]], who specializes in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. The {{Badge|Stone}} is awarded for defeating Roxanne. The Gym is a maze; there are two paths, one path which battles the Gym Trainers, while the other path lets the players go through without battling.

==Role==
===Delta Episode===
During the [[Delta Episode]], after receiving {{Steven}}'s call in [[Petalburg City]], Steven will be waiting outside the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City for the player, escorting the player to [[Mr. Stone]]'s office when they arrive.

In his office, Mr. Stone tells the player about the history of the Devon Corporation, then asks the player to retrieve a [[Meteorite Shard]] from [[Granite Cave]]. Throughout the Delta Episode, Mr. Stone mentions where Steven has most recently headed to.

After listening to [[Zinnia]]'s grandmother at [[Meteor Falls]], Steven heads to the Devon Corporation building in Rustboro City. When the player arrives there, a scientist runs out the front door, running away from a Team Magma{{sup/6|OR}}/Aqua{{sup/6|AS}} Grunt. That grunt then challenges the player, followed by a second and third grunt, all of whom run away after their own defeat. After defeating the third grunt, the scientist reveals that the device to control the [[Game Link Cable|Link Cable]] was stolen by [[Courtney]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Matt]]{{sup/6|AS}} and that Steven has headed off to the [[Mossdeep Space Center]].

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the population of Rustboro City is 57, making it the third largest city in [[Hoenn]], behind [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]].

===Pokémon Emerald===
In {{game|Emerald}}, the population of Rustboro City is 61, making it the second largest city in Hoenn, behind [[Lilycove City]], which has over twice the population of Rustboro.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Rustboro City has a total population of 63, making it the fourth largest city in Hoenn.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rustboro City anime2.png|thumb|left|250px|Rustboro City in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'']]
Rustboro City debuted in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived at [[Contest Hall|Rustboro Hall]], located in its southern outskirts, and discovered that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to take place there in just a few hours. They were surprised by the way contestants prepared their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for the event, as it was very different from how {{pkmn|Trainer}}s usually {{pkmn|training|train}} their Pokémon for Gym matches. After a meeting with [[Janet]] and {{an|Chaz}}, two skilled [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s, they learned about the proceedings of the competition and decided to enter. However, the lady in the registration desk was not accepting new entries as the event had already reached the maximum number of contestants allowed. Nonetheless, they received [[Contest Pass]]es and watched the Pokémon Contest get underway, with {{an|May}} and [[Max]] working as Janet's assistants.
[[File:Rustboro Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|The Rustboro Ribbon]]
During the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], Chaz had his {{p|Venomoth}} showing off its {{m|Confusion}} attack, while Janet had her {{p|Beautifly}} using {{m|String Shot}} to break plates thrown by May and Max. Their performances impressed the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] enough to secure them a place in the second round. Jessie's performance, on the other hand, was a total failure as she commanded her newly {{pkmn2|caught}} {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use several [[move]]s it didn't known. In the [[Contest Battle]]s, both Janet and Chaz defeated their opponents to reach the finals. The two had a close battle, but when time ran out Janet was shown to have more points. As a result, she was declared the winner of the Rustboro Contest, earning her third [[Ribbon]]. Throughout the competition, May was amazed by the performances and the different kind of battling, and this inspired her to become a Pokémon Coordinator.

In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} attended the [[Pokémon Trainers' School]] and first met [[Roxanne]], the [[Rustboro Gym]] Leader and Trainers' School headmistress. [[Max]] spent much of his time with {{OBP|Tommy|AG015}}, {{OBP|Kenny|AG015}}, and [[Anita]]. Later, all Beginner Class students, and helped defeat {{TRT}}.

In ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', Ash battled Roxanne and earned himself the {{Badge|Stone}}. The match was filmed by some of Roxanne's students to become a learning resource at the Rustboro Trainers' School.

In ''[[AG017|Stairway to Devon]]'', Max spilled soda on the [[PokéNav]], causing it to malfunction. While attempting to avoid {{an|May}} so she wouldn't find out, Max bumped into [[Mr. Stone]], who agreed to fix the PokéNav and take him on a guided tour through this company, the [[Devon Corporation]]. During the tour, Mr. Stone and Max spotted a mysterious scientist, later revealed to be a {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}, who stole two capsules from the [[Fossil]] restoration lab. The thief was eventually cornered by Mr.Stone, Ash, and his friends, with Team Rocket inadvertently causing the grunt to lose the stolen goods. While the thief managed to escape, Max was able to recover the tubes for Mr. Stone.
[[File:Rustboro City anime.png|thumb|250px|Rustboro City in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'']]
In ''[[AG018|On a Wingull and a Prayer!]]'', Ash and his friends visited the desolate harbor of Rustboro City to take a boat to [[Dewford Town]]. After missing the morning service boat, the group decided to wait for the afternoon ferry. During that time, the group re-encountered the Team Aqua Grunt from the Devon Corporation heist, who hoped to take [[Mr. Briney]]'s boat and make his getaway. The grunt took Mr. Briney's {{p|Wingull}}, [[nickname]]d [[Peeko]], as a hostage. While Mr. Briney recovered Peeko using his other boat, the S.S. Wingull, the grunt escaped with Mr. Briney's boat. Afterwards, he was recovered by his fellow grunts, who were waiting out at sea with a submarine. As a reward for their assistance, Mr. Briney escorted Ash and his friends to Dewford Island.

After a long absence, Rustboro City appeared again in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where [[Alain]], [[Mairin]], and {{Steven}} arrived there, following the energy signature of the [[Giant Rock|giant rock]] they had [[XYS02|previously]] encountered. [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Groudon|Groudon]] and Primal [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Kyogre|Kyogre]] also followed the energy, and clashed with each other just off the coast of Rustboro City. The battle was eventually stopped by [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Rayquaza|Rayquaza]], although the giant rock was taken away by [[Lysandre]]'s submarine to be studied at [[Lysandre Labs]].

Much of Rustboro City is tall buildings and thriving, but its seaport and the neighboring suburb appear derelict. In ''On a Wingull and a Prayer!'', May was particularly disappointed to learn that the famous "Rustboro City Pasta" restaurant was closed up. Rustboro's coastline is largely open water, with sharp rocks like Triangle Rock further out.

Rustboro City appeared in ''[[SP19|Trust In Each Other!!]]'', where {{Ash}}, like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, took on and defeated [[Roxanne]] at the [[Rustboro Gym]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Rustboro City first appeared in ''[[PS190|Blowing Past Nosepass I]]'', where {{adv|Sapphire}} arrived there in order to challenge the [[Rustboro Gym]]. After passing the exam required to challenge the [[Gym Leader]], Sapphire was allowed to challenge [[Roxanne]]. After emerging victorious and earning the {{badge|Stone}}, Sapphire headed to [[Dewford Town]] by sea on the back of her {{p|Wailord}} in ''[[PS192|Stick This in Your Craw, Crawdaunt I]]''.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Rustboro City appeared in ''[[PMRS06|Extra Heavyweight Battle]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon visited [[Pokémon Trainers' School]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* As Hoenn coincides with {{wp|Kyushu}}, Rustboro coincides approximately with {{wp|Fukuoka, Fukuoka|Fukuoka}} and {{wp|Kitakyushu}}.
* Rustboro City is very similar to [[Saffron City]] of [[Kanto]] and [[Jubilife City]] of [[Sinnoh]]. All three cities are home to their region's corporate giants.
** It is also similar to [[Pewter City]] of Kanto and [[Goldenrod City]] of Johto. Their geographic locations to their regions are very remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest during the beginning of the games. Rustboro is more like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a Gym, but first to be beaten by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, and play a role in the player obtaining Fossil Pokémon.
* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, there is an {{wp|Easter egg (media)|Easter egg}} findable in Rustboro City, involving the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} who gives the {{player}} a [[Float Stone]]. After giving it to the player, he will explain its effect of halving the holder's weight. If the player then leaves and re-enters the floor, the Ace Trainer has turned into a {{tc|Hiker}}, who tells that he has put on a lot of weight recently for some reason.

Talk:Ash's Raticate

2014-06-11T03:35:53Z

Pokemon champ:

==Why?==

Okay, articles for Haunter and Larvitar, who are in more than one episode, I understand. I also understand "Ash's Beedrill", as it redirects to Casey's Bedrill. But why on earth does this Pokemon, who should be mentioned nearly wholy in Butterfree's article, get his own? Is it more signifigant than 'Max's Jirachi' or 'May's Manaphy'? Or how ab out 'Jessie's Charizard', another Pokemon that they own for less than an entire episode?--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 16:42, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

::Because it was traded to Ash, and it was actually a Pokémon that belonged to him. '''May's Manaphy''' is now called '''Manaphy (anime)''', and '''Jessie's Charizard''' actually belonged to her, albeit for a short amount of time. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 21:08, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
:::I just singled out Manaphy because it was the best example I could come up with. THEN I thought of Charizard. The thing about it is Jessie's Charizard '''DOES NOT HAVE IT'S OWN PAGE!''' I'm wondering what makes a Charizard that was owned for less an episode less signifigant than a Raticate that was owned for less than an episode. {{unsigned|PikamasterADV}}
::::Nothing, really. It's just that no one's made an article for Jessie's Charizard yet. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 23:47, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Then is someone gonna go make a '''Jirachi (anime)''' page as well? {{unsigned|PikamasterADV}}
::::No reason why they couldn't. The main reason why anyone doesn't would be the lack of motivation. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 00:02, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Offtopic, but that Unsigned thing is cool! I was worried that I might have had to come back and add my name to the end of those.--[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 00:05, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Shouldn't this be at Gentleman's Raticate, with a redirect from Ash's Raticate? [[User:Yamikuronue|Yamikuronue]] 17:09, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
:This Raticate is only significant because Ash owned it for a while. Naming conventions get a little complex with articles like this but a general rule of thumb is that Pokémon who transfer ownership from a main character to a minor character are placed under the main character's name. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 22:06, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

==Hi Jump Kick?==

I don't know about the dub, but in the original Japanese version, the Gentlemen clearly says "Tobigeri" (Jump Kick) when Raticate does the move. Was this changed in the dub or should it be changed? Either way, it is worth noting that both are unable to be learned by Raticate. --[[User:Jda95|Jda95]] 03:34, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
: I watched the dub myself, and unless my hearing is crap, he definitely said "Hi Jump Kick". In any case, I'll make a note on the page of the Jump Kick thing. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:12, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

== Ok.. ==

For the old post's examples listed above, this should NOT have it's own article. This Raticate isn't even a major recurring Pokémon at all, and other than the fact Ash temporarily had it, it shouldn't just have it's own article like this. No other Pokémon similar to this Raticate get their own article either, so why is Raticate so very different from the rest? Other one time Pokémon get articles because they're movie characters, so that really can't be an excuse for Raticate to get it's own article either. It just doesn't make too much sense at all.... [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 21:09, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
:Ash still owned it, however briefly. And it was pretty much what started up the plot for the following episode: when Ash traded back, he dropped Butterfree's Pokeball and had to chase it, preventing him from escaping the ship. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:11, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
::Yeah, BRIEFLY. Same thing about Larvitar as well, but Larvitar on the other hand deserves it's article because it appears in more than 1 episode. Unlike Larvitar, Raticate stays in this single episode the entire series. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 21:12, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
:::[[Bulbapedia:Notability requirements/Anime Pokémon|Point 1, second sentence]]. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:17, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

== Name ==
All other Pokemon who have been traded have taken up the name on the wiki as "<Current Trainer's> Pokemon". Why doesn't this follow the same pattern and be "Gentleman's Raticate"? ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 21:10, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
:That's not necessarily true. When the character who currently owns the Pokémon is so unimportant, it will go to the main character. Otherwise it would be [[Brock's Vulpix|Suzy's Vulpix]] and [[Jessie's Lickitung|Benny's Lickitung]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:24, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
::Then I feel that they should be moved. After looking at the [[Jump Kick (move)]] page, it says "A Gentleman's Raticate" while linking to "Ash's Raticate". I feel that all three pages should be moved. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 15:57, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think so, people don't generally look up "Benny's Lickitung" or simmilar. I think it's fine where it is. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 19:59, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

== List ==

"Raticate is the only one in the list above not captured in a contest." It's not a list. It should be something like
"Raticate is the only one of the three not captured in a contest."
No one on the corner got swagga like Mpcamel1729...modified from Paper Planes by M.I.A. 04:11, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

== Wait a minute. ==

So let me get this straight. [[Ash's Raticate]] is noteworthy enough to have its own article and [[James's Gyarados]] is not? I'm sorry but I don't understand how that works.

Personally I don't think Ash's Raticate is noteworthy enough to have its own page. I mean what can you possibly say about it that you can't say on Ash's page or on the episode's page? I think the paragraph is short enough to fit on either page, but not enough for its own article.

I do think that James's Gyarados is more noteworthy. At least that Pokémon was for more than one episode. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 20:41, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:Alright, I noticed that there are similar discussions above, and let me just say this. This Raticate had absolutely NO impact on the plot. Everything that happened on that ship would have happened regardless if Ash got that Raticate or not. If the Raticate did have a big impact on the plot, how? Other than the fact that it's the first traded Pokémon I don't see it. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 20:44, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== Not Notable ==

I know this has been brought up before, but I don't believe this Pokémon is notable enough to have its own page. I think it should be redirected to Ash's page. I don't believe the fact that Ash owned it is enough to give it an episode. There are plenty of other Pokémon he has owned for less than an episode that don't have pages, so I believe that this one shouldn't either.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]] and [[move tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Sword of Mystery}}).

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature, though its morphology is actually more like a {{wp|jerboa}}. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.
====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to {{p|Rotom}}), creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 648 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}. It has been seen to be able to swim {{m|Dive|underwater}} as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its clone, Mewtwo.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Reports found in the Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the [[Kanto]] region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-funded which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most. Since many scientists believe that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon, and a number of extraterrestrial Pokémon have been discovered, it is possible that Mew could inhabit other areas of the universe, and whether it originates from [[Pokémon world|Earth]] at all is debatable.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:MewInBubble.png|thumb|right|In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (movie 1)|Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple of cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.

====[[Mew (movie 8)|Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)]]====
[[File:Mew.png|right|thumb|In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
Another Mew first appeared transformed as a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and then as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew Adventures.png|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mew debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to the {{DL|Pokémon Adventures volume 2|the next volume}}, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from {{adv|Green}}, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their {{p|Jynx}} was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone.

Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into the [[Indigo Plateau]] after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

It later reappeared in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. {{adv|Mewtwo}} notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Mew (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the PokéPark. It then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the [[Sky Prism]] so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained Mew awaits Pikachu at the [[Sky Pavilion]] where it plays.

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after {{p|Mewtwo}} in the Pokédex, it has to have been found before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is a clone of it.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of Guyana.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and the only genderlesss Pokémon besides {{p|Furiijio}} to learn {{m|Attract}}; however, when used by genderless Pokémon, these moves will always fail.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas most legendary Pokémon need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** Coincidentally, the three of them all have base 100 stats.
* If Mew were considered an embodiment of 'earth', it and the other 'fairy legendary Pokémon' would represent the Chinese Wu Xing, fire (Victini), water (Manaphy), earth (Mew), wood (Celebi), and metal (Jirachi).
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. These are the total numbers of Pokémon in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation IV]], respectively.
[[File:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Although Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}} is said to be the first of all Pokémon.
* Mew's species name, "New Species", is rather ironic, as it is in fact one of the first ever Pokémon to have existed.
** In the games it is also unable to breed, despite being the ancestor of all Pokémon.
* In many of the games, Mew is depicted as pink. However, in the movies and some of the spin off games, Mew is a much lighter color.
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same color, both {{Shiny}} and not, as well as having the same weight.
* In an interview with Game Freak and Creatures, Inc. in Nintendo Power issue 134, Tsunekazu Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* For the most recent release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, for the US it was released ten years to the day for the anniversary for the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew's tail in the back sprites of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} grew in length from the {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} back sprites.
* Mew is the only Pokémon capable of having the ability {{a|Synchronize}} that does not have a hidden ability.
* Mew is the mascot of the fansite {{OBP|Legendary Pokémon|site}}.
* Mew is the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Sky Drop}} without getting STAB from it.
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Mew is referred to as a male, despite being a genderless Pokémon.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. It also shares some traits with felines.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mew
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mew
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뮤 ''Myu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 夢幻 ''Mèng Huàn'' - Literally means "dream" or "illusion".

'''Lt. Surge's Raichu''' (Japanese: '''マチスのライチュウ''' ''Matis's Raichu'') is [[Lt. Surge]]'s main Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} and games.

==In the anime==
Raichu made its appearance in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', when Surge used it to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Its voice actress in both Japanese and English is Urara Takano.

Surge laughed at {{Ash}} for not evolving Pikachu, thinking evolved Pokémon are always better. With its powerful {{m|ThunderShock}} attack, Raichu easily defeated Pikachu.

However, Ash eventually defeated Surge in a rematch, proving him that evolved Pokémon are not always better. As Raichu evolved too fast, it never learned any speed attacks. Pikachu took advantage of this by using its speed attacks to confuse Raichu. Pikachu also dodged Raichu's powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack by using its tail.

Lt. Surge's Raichu's attitude towards Ash's Pikachu almost completely mirrors Lt. Surge's attitude toward Ash. When they first meet Raichu doesn't have a high opinion of Pikachu, but after being defeated grows to respect Pikachu.

Raichu was seen again in a flashback in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', where it was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}.

Both Raichu and Lt. Surge reappeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' in a flashback.

==In the games==
Raichu appears as Lt. Surge's Pokémon in the player's Gym battle against him in all games he appears in. In {{game|Yellow}}, it is his only Pokémon, much as in the anime. In other games it is not his only Pokémon, but it is always present. Lt. Surge's Pikachu that he has in the games is also shown below, since Surge said in the anime that he obtained his Raichu as a Pikachu.

Someone reverted my edit to the trivia. I put that Lucian is the only Elite Four member that does not have at least one attack of his specialty type on each of his Pokemon, which is true (his Medicahm lacks a Psychic attack); which I found interesting to note since he is also the only Elite Four member where all of his Pokemon are of his specialty type (as it states already). I'm wondering why my addition was removed. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 16:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

==Relatives==

Lucian DOES have a known relative. It's one of those old guys in those houses on Route 228. One of them says this: 
"I spend all my time reading here. '''My son is an avid reader, too'''. I recently learned that the word universe meant time and space in an ancient language." [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]
:...so? Lucian may love to read, but he's far from the only one in Sinnoh. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

::For all we know, that guy's kid might not even be in [[Sinnoh|the same country he's in]]. For all we know, that kid could be in [[Littleroot Town|a starting town]] in [[Hoenn|another country]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:::But still the fact that he reads a lot is largely advertised feature of him in the games and the books in the old guy's room are full of books about mind reading and such psychic related stuff. They are also the right age for that kind of family relation.--[[User talk:Wikid|Wikid]]

==Name Origin==

Since [[Team Rocket]] of Generation I, poison-type pokemon are used as often as the dark-type to represent evil, and psychic attacks are super-effective against such pokemon. This associates the psychic type with light, as does its (less advantageous) opposition to the Dark type and Ghost type. Should something to this effect be added to the segment on the origins of his names? {{unsigned|SixthFlyingMan}}
:The psychic-type isn't super-effective against dark, it's absolutely ineffective. Meanwhile, dark is super-effective against psychic. It was introduced in gen II largely to balance out the psychic type. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 08:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

==Lucian's Bronzong==

I've found that in the generation IV games, the Bronzong used by Lucian has Levitate. Perhaps this could be noted somewhere in the appropriate section? [[User:Zell65|Zell65]] 10:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

== Lucian's ESP? ==

Trivia section says he may have ESP as indicated by his timing his book to be finihsed as the player arrives.

''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the Psychic type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the Elite Four. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

His quote from the game doesn't imply that ''he'' timed his reading to coincide with the player's appearance, but merely that it was good timing for the player to arrive. I'm not sure if I should edit it out though because its just a trivia thing.

:Re-reverted it. Took me a second to understand it, but when I scrolled up to the teamplate (heheh) Medicham was lacking a {{type2|Psychic}} attack.. kinda of a shame, no STAB on his Medicham. ;) [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 16:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

==Relatives==

Lucian DOES have a known relative. It's one of those old guys in those houses on Route 228. One of them says this: 
"I spend all my time reading here. '''My son is an avid reader, too'''. I recently learned that the word universe meant time and space in an ancient language." [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]]
:...so? Lucian may love to read, but he's far from the only one in Sinnoh. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:06, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

::For all we know, that guy's kid might not even be in [[Sinnoh|the same country he's in]]. For all we know, that kid could be in [[Littleroot Town|a starting town]] in [[Hoenn|another country]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:19, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

:::But still the fact that he reads a lot is largely advertised feature of him in the games and the books in the old guy's room are full of books about mind reading and such psychic related stuff. They are also the right age for that kind of family relation.--[[User talk:Wikid|Wikid]]

==Name Origin==

Since [[Team Rocket]] of Generation I, poison-type pokemon are used as often as the dark-type to represent evil, and psychic attacks are super-effective against such pokemon. This associates the psychic type with light, as does its (less advantageous) opposition to the Dark type and Ghost type. Should something to this effect be added to the segment on the origins of his names? {{unsigned|SixthFlyingMan}}
:The psychic-type isn't super-effective against dark, it's absolutely ineffective. Meanwhile, dark is super-effective against psychic. It was introduced in gen II largely to balance out the psychic type. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 08:58, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

==Lucian's Bronzong==

I've found that in the generation IV games, the Bronzong used by Lucian has Levitate. Perhaps this could be noted somewhere in the appropriate section? [[User:Zell65|Zell65]] 10:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

== Lucian's ESP? ==

Trivia section says he may have ESP as indicated by his timing his book to be finihsed as the player arrives.

''"Ah, you timed your arrival well. I've just finished reading a book, you see. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Lucian. I am a user of the Psychic type. I must say, you've already proven yourself to be outstanding by coming this far. They say I am the toughest of the Elite Four. I'm afraid I will have to go all out against you to live up to that reputation."''

His quote from the game doesn't imply that ''he'' timed his reading to coincide with the player's appearance, but merely that it was good timing for the player to arrive. I'm not sure if I should edit it out though because its just a trivia thing.

Lucian appears to have TWO chinese names, one from Taiwan and the other from the Mainland. I got this from the video at : http://video.aol.co.uk/video-detail/dp035/3978897451

I think we should add that this move can be learned by most of the pokemon (123 in Generation IV). Or that this is the most learned Water type in this game so far.
:no, because moves like {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Toxic}} can be learned by ANYONE. itd be like saying {{m|Fly}} can be learned by almost any Flying type. its self explanitory.

I think we should add this little trivia fact (I have done this, and it works!):
There's a hidden key item in the Generation 1 games called ????? that allows you to Surf outside of battle without the need for HM03. It can be obtained with the Gameshark code for item modifying, with the hex variable set to 07. If the game is saved while the code is active, the item stays in the pouch like any other key item, even after the GameShark is removed. To use, just go up to water, and select it from the item pouch. The item was created in the beta versions, and later made unavailable, but not removed entirely. --{{ani|250}}[[User:Fsilone|隼也

The '''fourth generation''' of Pokémon games, sometimes called the '''3D generation''' by fans due to the fact that it contains the first [[main series]] (i.e. non-spinoff) games to use 3D graphics, is the fourth set of Pokémon games released.

Like [[Generation II]] followed from [[Generation I]], Generation IV follows from [[Generation III]], although it is unlike Generation II in that it is not a direct sequel ([[Hoenn]] is inaccessible in all Generation IV games). Like previous generations, Generation IV focuses on one main region across three games, the [[Sinnoh]] region featured in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} on the [[Nintendo DS]], released in 2006 and 2008 (and 2007 and 2009 outside Japan). Also like Generation II, the Generation IV games retain much compatibility with their Generation III counterparts, though in a different manner, and introduce many new Pokémon which are related to those of the previous three generations.

Much like Generation III remade the Generation I games, the Generation II games also receive much anticipated remakes in the form of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and through details revealed in the five main games, Generation IV is thus known to be contemporaneous with Generation II, occurring three years after Generation I and Generation III. Like all generations, the handheld games are joined by several games on Nintendo's latest console, the [[Wii]], specifically, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Advances in gameplay==
Much like how Generation II enhanced Generation I mostly by building on its features, Generation IV builds on the features introduced in Generation III. The advancements introduced in Generation IV include:
*The addition of {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 493. New evolutions and pre-evolutions abound in this generation, including ones for long-time favorites such as {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
*The addition of 113 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 467.
*The addition of 47 new [[Ability|abilities]] (and removal of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}), bringing the total to 123. Many older Pokémon can now have one of two abilities, rather than the single ability they could have in Generation III.
*Four more boxes in the [[Pokémon storage system]], bringing the total to 18, for a total of 540 Pokémon.
*Another new region to explore, [[Sinnoh]], yet again with its own [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]]. Player characters are again changed.
*Four new variants of [[Poké Ball]], retaining the seven introduced in Generation III.
*A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Galactic]], whose intent is to capture {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, said to be the creators of the [[Pokémon universe]], and remake it in the image of their leader, [[Cyrus]].
*The return of the [[time]] system from Generation II, with enhanced transitions between the time periods of the day.
*A three-dimensional rendering of the overworld, rather than just sprites, with the same style seen in previous games.
*Moves are now designated [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] based on the move itself, rather than its type.
*Pokémon are now able to be traded and battled over the internet through the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Alterations from Generation III include:
*[[Pokémon Super Contest|New and enhanced]] versions of [[Pokémon Contest]]s, featuring more rounds and a different appeals process. [[Poffin]] are now used to enhance contest stats, rather than [[Pokéblocks]].
*[[Secret base]]s have been moved [[The Underground|underground]], where players can interact over local wireless connections.
*Some Pokémon now display [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|differences in appearance]] based on their [[gender]].

Further additions in Platinum include:
*Another new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, with several different facilities than the one in [[Hoenn]].
*Ability to record and share battles with other players and in the Battle Frontier over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.
*Sinnoh Pokédex is expanded, making the total of 210 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex.

Further additions in HeartGold and SoulSilver include:
*The re-introduction of the seven Poké Balls made from [[Apricorn]]s, unavailable since [[Generation II]].
*The first Pokémon in the [[party]] can now [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] almost anywhere in the overworld.
*Instead of contests, the [[Pokéathlon]] games are added.

==Regions==
===Sinnoh===
[[File:Sinnohplatinum.jpg|thumb|right|Sinnoh]]
{{main|Sinnoh}}
Like Generation III, Generation IV introduces a new region disconnected from all previous ones, the [[Sinnoh]] region, found far north of [[Kanto]]. Being that it is so far north, snow can be found on its northern tip, as well as in the mountainous center of the region. Much of the western half of the region is rural, while its east is comparatively urban, in a similarity to the continental area shared by Johto and Kanto, respectively.

====Starter Pokémon====
Though it was initially rumored that the {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}} setup that had been the norm for the past three generations would be replaced with a {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} trio, these rumors were later proven false. At the beginning of the journey, players must choose from the Grass-type {{p|Turtwig}}, the Fire-type {{p|Chimchar}}, and the Water-type {{p|Piplup}} to defend themselves from a wild {{p|Starly}} in Diamond and Pearl, or be given one of the three by [[Professor Rowan]] directly in Platinum.

====Gym Leaders====
Like the other three regions, Sinnoh has its own set of eight Gym Leaders. This set specializes in the same types as Gym Leaders from other regions, though not in the same order. Like always, badges and TMs are given away by defeated Gym Leaders.

===Johto===
[[File:JohtoMap.png|thumb|right|Johto]]
{{main|Johto}}
Much like [[Generation I]]'s version of Kanto was featured a second time in [[Generation III]], {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} cause [[Johto]] to be featured a second time in Generation IV.

====Starter Pokémon====
Much as Kanto's Generation III starters were the same as in Generation I, Johto's starters have not changed. [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30}}.

====Gym Leaders====
As would be expected, Johto's Gym Leaders are the same as before, but many give out different TMs than they gave out in Generation II.

===Kanto===
[[File:HGSS_Kanto.jpg‎|thumb|right|Kanto as seen in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
{{main|Kanto}}
In its fourth appearance, Kanto returns in HeartGold and SoulSilver much in the same way as it did in Generation II (as a post-League area).

====Gym Leaders====
Kanto's Gym Leaders are the same as in the original Gold and Silver, changing slightly from the group who were there in Generation I and Generation III. All Kanto Gym Leaders give TMs, unlike in Generation II.

==Other Generation IV games==
[[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] features a [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium]]-like arena for battle, allowing Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver to link to it through wireless communications between the Nintendo DS and Wii, much like previous generations' games would link to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium]], and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}. Battle Revolution also features online battles with players around the world via the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.

[[My Pokémon Ranch]] lets players of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} deposit their Pokémon, via wireless communication, to a ranch owned by [[Hayley]], who will also bring Pokémon to the ranch. Players can interact with up to 1,000 of their deposited Pokémon. An update for this game enables support for {{v2|Platinum}}, as well as allowing storage for 500 more Pokémon, however, it was not released to players outside Japan, while players of HeartGold and SoulSilver cannot connect with the game at all.

==Trivia==
*Every [[player character]] in all Generation IV games has a [[Wii]] in his/her room, referencing its status as the current Nintendo console during the generation. This is in contrast with [[Generation III]], in which player characters in Hoenn had a [[Nintendo GameCube]], while player characters in Kanto had a [[NES]].
*Generation IV's framerate is downgraded from Generation III: whereas Generation III games ran at 60 frames per second, Generation IV games run at only 30, like Generation I and II do. This is likely to prevent slowdown or crashing due to the 3D models.
*Due to the Generation II remakes, and the inclusion of Kanto in them, Generation IV has the largest number of accessible regions (in the handheld games) of all; [[Generation I]] had only one (Kanto), [[Generation II]] had two (Kanto and Johto), [[Generation III]] had two (Kanto and Hoenn), whereas Generation IV has three (Kanto, Johto, and Sinnoh).
**Because Hoenn was not included in Generation IV, its Gym Leaders, Elite Four, and Frontier Brains lack the now standard animated battle sprites and close-up headshots. [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], the only important Trainers from another region who are not in Generation IV, also miss out.
* The Japanese font, including its rendering, that is used in the dialogues of the international versions is different from the Japanese versions. This doesn't happen in Generation III, where international versions use the same Japanese font and rendering.
* So far, Generation IV has had the most regions explored: Sinnoh, Johto, Kanto, Almia and Oblivia.
* Counting side-games, Generation IV has the most games: Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, SoulSilver, My Pokémon Ranch, Pokémon Battle Revolution, PokéPark Wii, Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia, Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Time, Darkness, Sky, Blazing, Stormy, Light, and Pokémon Rumble. This is a grand total of 17 games.
** If games with Generation IV Pokémon in them count, Super Smash Bros. Brawl is also included, bringing the total to 18.
* So far, Generation IV is the only generation of games that is able to communicate with and transfer Pokémon between games of the generation before it as well as the one after it, being able to transfer Pokémon from [[Generation III]] with [[Pal Park]] and to [[Generation V]] through a direct trade.
* Generation IV was the first generation in which you could get a level 1 Pokémon.
** It also was the first generation in which you could get all fossil pokémon,without trading or cheating.
* Generation IV is the longest Pokémon generation in at least Japan, falling only 10 days short of being four years long.

'''Nidorina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドリーナ ''' ''Nidorina'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Nidoran♀}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Nidoqueen}} via {{evostone|Moon Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidorina is comparatively larger than its pre-evolution, though she loses the forehead horn, whiskers, and incisor teeth. Nidorina is also turquoise in coloration instead of bluish lavender, with a pale underside. Nidorina's poison spikes are larger and probably more potent; she has also gained the ability to stand on her hind legs.

====Gender differences====
Nidorina is the female equivalent of {{p|Nidorino}}. This is shown even in its name, which ends in ''a'' as opposed to ''o'' in ''Nidorino''. ''A'' is traditionally a feminine vowel in the English language, particularly at the ends of names.

Nidorina seems to be more docile and relaxed than her counterpart Nidorino.

====Special abilities====
Nidorina's abilities are stronger than Nidoran♀'s, but are otherwise the same.

===Behavior===
Nidorina is a gentle Pokémon like its pre-evolution, Nidoran♀. She is a caring mother, chewing food for her young. Although she would rather not attack at all, she prefers attacks like clawing and biting. She seems to display close family bonds with others of her own kind, and becomes nervous when separated. However, when angered, a Nidorina can become a formidable foe.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Nidorina live in expansive hot savannas and plains. They share their home range with {{p|Nidorino}}. Both are common in [[Kanto]], but rare in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Nidorina herd.png|235px|right|thumb|A herd of Nidorina in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
{{Oi|Emily}}'s {{p|Nidoran♀}}, nicknamed Maria evolved into Nidorina after battling [[Team Rocket]] and kissing [[Ralph]]'s {{p|Nidoran♂}}, nicknamed Tony, in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''

===Minor appearances===
A herd of Nidorina were seen in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''

[[Whitney]] has a Nidorina. She was easily defeated by [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] in their Gym Battle.

A Nidorina appeared under the possession of a Coordinator in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind!]]''

==Trivia==
* Despite being a gendered species, Nidorina and its evolution Nidoqueen are unable to breed.
** However, its pre-evolution Nidoran♀ can breed.
* Nidorina's alternate coloration is similar to {{p|Nidorino}}'s regular coloration.
* Its FR/LG Sugimori artwork is in exactly the same pose as its original RG artwork.
* Nidorina can learn {{m|Crunch}} by level-up but Nidoqueen cannot.

===Origin===
Nidorina appears to be based on a {{wp|rabbit}} or {{wp|mouse}}, or even a {{wp|hamster}}.

====Name origin====
Nidorina's name may be based on the word ''needle'' and ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}''. It may also be based on ''{{wp|cnidocyte}}'', a type of venomous cell responsible for the stings delivered by stinging animals, most notably, by jellyfish. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The ''rina'' in its name most likely alludes to its female gender - in many languages, such as [[wp:Spanish language|Spanish]] and [[wp:Italian language|Italian]], names and words ending in ''a'' are an indication for the female gender.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nidorina
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nidorina
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 니드리나 ''Nideurina''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 尼多娜 ''Ní Duō Nà'' - Transliteration of its original name. 娜 ''Nà'' is a word usually used in female names.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 尼美羅 ''Ní Mìi Lúo''

'''Hydro Cannon''' (Japanese: '''ハイドロカノン''' ''Hydro Cannon'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Hydro Cannon inflicts damage and then forces the user to recharge during the next turn. Unless this attack misses, the user will always have to recharge.

==Learnset==
===[[Generation III]]===
====By [[move tutor]]====
=====In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}=====
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, an elderly woman on [[Cape Brink]] will teach {{p|Blastoise}} Hydro Cannon. Like {{m|Frenzy Plant}} and {{m|Blast Burn}}, the Pokémon must have a very high [[happiness]] rating.

===[[Generation IV]]===
====By [[move tutor]]====
=====In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}=====
An elderly man, much like the woman on Cape Brink, appears on [[Route 228]] in the [[Battle Zone]], and will teach it to the three fully [[Evolution|evolved]] {{type2|Water}} starters of the previous generations, as well as {{p|Empoleon}}. It is also required for each Pokémon to have high happiness rating in order for it to learn Hydro Cannon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an elderly man can be found in [[Blackthorn City]], in the same house as the [[Move tutor]] and the [[Move relearner]]. When talked to, he too will teach Hydro Cannon to all four of the fully evolved {{type2|Water}} starters.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Smeargle}} is the only Pokémon that is not a {{type2|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] able to learn Hydro Cannon, due to {{m|Sketch}}.
* {{p|Mew}}, though repeatedly said on the [[Pokédex]] to be able to learn any move, is not able to learn Hydro Cannon, because the tutors only want to teach it to Water-type starter Pokémon.
* This move has so far been used by Ash's rivals' Pokémon: [[Gary's Blastoise]] and [[Barry's Empoleon]].

'''Lt. Surge''' (Japanese: '''マチス''' ''Matis'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Vermilion City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Vermilion Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Thunder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimorisurgeoriginal.png|thumb|Art of Lt. Surge from Pokémon Red and Blue]]
[[File:FireRed LeafGreen Lt Surge.png|thumb|Artwork from FireRed and LeafGreen]]
Lt. Surge is known as ''The Lightning American''. Apparently, he is or was an {{wp|Soldier|American soldier}} who fought in at least one war, during which Electric-type Pokémon saved his life. As a member of the {{wp|United States Army|army}}, Surge was a strict {{wp|Commanding officer|CO}}, and was rather cautious. He was a pilot as well, and used Electric-type Pokémon to power his planes, a practice that in at least one occasion saved his life. Also, Surge saved the life of one of the trainers in his gym who was in the army at the same time.

A little paranoid (a result of possible war trauma), Lt. Surge installed a series of traps in the gym. He takes a liking to trainers with a lot of guts.

In addition to the Thunder Badge, Lt. Surge gives out {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}, in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}. In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, LeafGreen,|s}} {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}} he gives out {{TM|34|Shock Wave}}. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, he doesn't give out a [[TM]]. Also in HeartGold and SoulSilver, he trades a foreign {{p|Pikachu}} with the player for another Pikachu.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he will be outside of the Power Plant after Zapdos is defeated or captured between 9 AM and 11 AM. If the player arrives walking with a Pikachu, he will happily give his PokéGear number out, and if called on Friday morning, will be at the Fighting Dojo for a rematch. After the player get his PokéGear number, he will be in at the [[Magnet Train]] station in [[Saffron City]]. There he'll offer to trade his female Pikachu, nicknamed '''VOLTY''', for the player's Pikachu that he saw at the Power Plant. She knows {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Slam}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}} and is holding a Yellow Shard.

''"Hey, kid! What do you think you're doing here? You won't live long in combat! That's for sure! I tell you kid, electric Pokémon saved me during the war! They zapped my enemies into paralysis! The same as I'll do to you!"''

====Pokémon Yellow====
''"Ten-hut! Welcome to Vermilion Gym! Will you look at that, a pint-size challenger! Hahaha! You've got big and brassy nerves to take me on with your puny power! A Pokémon battle is war! I'll show you civilian! I'll shock you into surrender!"''

''"Whoa! You're the real deal, kid! Fine then, take the Thunder Badge!"''

====Pokémon Gold/Silver====
''"Hey, you little tyke! I have to hand it to you. It may not be very smart to challenge me, but it takes guts! When it comes to electric Pokémon, I'm number one! I've never lost on the battlefield. I'll zap you just like I did my enemies in war!"''

''"Arrrgh! You are strong! Ok, kid. You get Thunder Badge!"''

''"Hey, kid! Still slugging and chugging away? My Pokémon and I are still at it!"''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Surgeface.png|left|thumb|220px|Lt. Surge in the anime]]
Lt. Surge made his only anime appearance in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. He has also appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]''.

Lt. Surge is an extremely large and muscular man, and seems to be the show's tallest human character. He is arrogant, loud, and crude, and refers to all trainers as "babies" until they manage to defeat him. Lt. Surge generally looks down on unevolved Pokémon, preferring to evolve them as soon as possible.

His {{p|Raichu}} shares many of his personality traits, also appearing to be rather tough.
Lt. Surge's main weakness was that he evolved his Pokémon too quickly without taking the time to teach them the proper attacks. Even though he managed to defeat {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}} once with pure power, Pikachu was able to use speed-altering moves like {{m|Agility}} to get the best of Raichu, eventually becoming the first Gym Leader that Ash actually beats in battle and doesn't just get the Gym Badge out of gratitude.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Lt. Surge and Sabrina.png|right|thumb|Lt. Surge and his Raichu (left) with Sabrina and her Mr. Mime (right)]]

Lt. Surge is one of the evil leaders of [[Team Rocket]]. In his debut round, ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'', he used the [[S.S. Anne]] in Vermilion City to transport captured Pokémon illegally. He tried to kill {{adv|Red}}, but was bested after Red's {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into [[Poli|Poliwrath]].

Lt. Surge captured {{p|Zapdos}} at the [[Power Plant]] under [[Giovanni]]'s orders. He than fought Red at Silph Co. with an Electrode bazooka and Magneton shield all powered by his newly caught Zapdos. He also had an electrocution suit on so he could be shocked by Zapdos' power. Red waits for him to make Zapdos use its full power and makes [[Saur]] cut up the power cords to his machines and his suit so he gets electrocuted instead. However, he, along with the rest of Team Rocket, was dispersed when the [[Zapmolcuno|chimera]] made from the [[Legendary Pokémon]] was defeated by Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} in [[Saffron City]].

Some time later, the [[Elite Four]] tried to destroy humanity. Team Rocket joined up with the trainers from [[Pallet Town]] to stop them. During the battle against the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]], Lt. Surge was paired with {{adv|Red}} according to [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]]. However, with Red absent due to injuries, Lt. Surge picked [[Bill]] as his partner instead, whose Spoon had not bent due to the fact that he didn't want to battle in the first place. When Red arrived as Bill and Lt. Surge were about to lose, Lt. Surge's spoon bent, revealing Red as his true partner. The three of them then teamed up to defeat [[Bruno]].

In [[Johto]], Lt. Surge was first seen accidently capturing Crystal, who freed his submarine by capturing the Corsola that were keeping it stuck. He re-payed her by allowing the SS Anne to take her to [[Olivine City]] free of charge. He then went to [[Mahogany Town]] to investigate the rise of Team Rocket under a different leader, since Koga and Govanni disappeared and Sabrina was busy healing her wounds. He confronted the [[Masked Man]], but lost and barely managed to escape with his life. He then stumbled upon Silver's [[Red Gyarados]] at the Lake of Rage. He is then led to several items of Gold and Silver's including one of their Pokédexes and goes to Morty so he can use them to locate the lost boys, who tells him that they are at the Whirl Islands.

The manga version of Lt. Surge prefers to travel by sea, as he is a sailor. He can also fly through the air by having three of his {{p|Magneton}} create an energy platform for him to ride on.

In battle, Lt. Surge generally prefers to use his {{p|Electabuzz}} to zap anything that gets in his way. He also uses other Electric-type Pokémon to provide distractions with {{m|Selfdestruct}}.

* He uses several English phrases such as "Goddamn" in the Japanese anime.
* His image in the anime is vastly different than in his Sugimori artwork. For example, in his artwork, he looks like an average, clean-cut soldier. In the anime, he is extremely muscular and very rough-looking, unlike a soldier. He is also incredibly tall in the anime, as opposed to other media, where he is of average height.
* Due to his team in {{game|Yellow}} consisting solely of a {{p|Raichu}} (to mimic the anime), he is the only Gym Leader to have only one Pokémon when fought in the games, excluding the double battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} with [[Tate and Liza]]'s {{p|Lunatone}} and {{p|Solrock}}.
* As a member of the United States Army, Lt. Surge is one of two Gym Leaders known to have taken residence outside the [[Pokémon nation]]; the other is [[Fantina]].

Pokemon champ:

== The origin of his name. ==

Does "Surge" be a name or a surname?
Where does it derives from?
What does it mean?

A surge, in English, is a rush of electric current. It is most definitely his last name, as per military conventions; Dwight D. Eisenhower was General Eisenhower. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 09:41, 11 December 2005 (CST)

Thank You!

More like Lt. JG Surge, according to his rank insignia. --[[User:Dr. Forrester|Dr. Forrester]] 02:00, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Pikachu → Raichu? ==

Should it really be counted as that under the Pokémon in the Anime section? I mean, we never saw it as a Pikachu...so, idk.
:It was specifically stated that Lt. Surge had evolved it from a Pikachu rather than catching it as a Raichu. That was an important plot point, even. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 02:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

== Hometown Vermillion? ==

Is that really his hometown? I mean his title is "The Lightning '''American'''" so I'm guessing he's from America. Should we put it as unknown?

This might seem like a stupid question but I think it's something to think about. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:42, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
:you bring up a good point, but we dont know for sure where the "pokemon nation" is. it may be in america, it may be japan. on the contrary, this being '''the''' poke resource, it think unknown would work best. leave no loop-holes. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:46, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well we do know that America exists in the Pokémon world. Remember that episode where Ash and co. went to Hollywood to see a movie. Not to mention that it's Meowth's hometown. I assume that the Pokémon regions are supposed to exist in Japan since the regions are based on it. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:51, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

:::: This is a question that comes up frequently in my mind. Most glaringly about Lt. Surge. "He's the Lightning American" he's a military officer and he's been in a "War." I would like very much to know where these things occurred. For example: Is there an America? If we are assuming from the Anime that Japan is where many of the Pokemon games are set then we can also assume that since they go to Hollywood mention "Chinese Food" that there is a rest of the world, and it's similar to ours. Ok, so that much taken at face value...what war was he in? In Red and Blue there's some mention that there was a "War" and he was involved. in FR/LG other trainers and people claim that he saved them in the war, and that an electric Pokemon had saved him, and that he was a pilot. Possible I suppose, but then we are to glean from these tidbits, that 1) Lt. Surge is an Air Force or Navy pilot Officer, and 2) That Pokemon were used in warfare at least at some point in history. Which is the part of the Pokemon history I want to see cannon material about. --[[User:Ginocoolowski|Ginocoolowski]] 20:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

== Japanese name ==

Is it possible that his Japanese is spelt like ''Matisse'' instead of ''Machisu''. It said that his Korean name is a transliteration of Matisse so why couldn't his Japanese name be the same? I believe Machisu can be a transliteration of Matisse.

As for why they named him Matisse, I think it might have to do with [http://www.matissesoftware.com/index.html the software company] and not the actual {{wp|Henri Matisse|artist}}. I think it's worth investigating. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

::His name used to be Matisse. I don't know who changed it back to Machisu. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 07:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

There's still a link to [[Torn World]] in here somewhere instead of [[Ruined World]], but I can't find it.

== The 'Un-DeFog-able Mist' in Eterna Forest... ==

Seems more like shadows being cast by Forest Canopy than the mist, with shafts of light breaking through and leaving those patches... Using the picture of Gardenia outside the Old Chateau in the [[Eterna Forest]] article as a reference, there's even an edging to it where it thins and lets a little more light through.

Of course I notice that houses are bigger on the inside. I just figure that the character (and other characters) is smaller when outside than what the sprite suggests and its inside size is the 'true' size.

About that, I would like to point out that this is the Torn World.... rules need not apply. I would not be surprised if this was on purpose. Keep in mind that the Platinum Orb is the most unique item in Pokémon History... it disappears in link battles with other versions. The Orb may be seperately programmed due to this. {{Unsigned|Paperfairy}}
:Please remember to sign next time. And for the Orb, this is in the Gen IV series. They wouldn't put things like that in. And I wouldn't go as far as saying that the PO is the most unique item. There is a set place to find it, while other items, like the Light Ball or Lucky Egg, are a very low find rate, and even then, it's totally random. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:34, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

::Actually, I don't think this is an error, when I got Giratina in the Turnback Cave in Diamond, after I got back to its room, I found a Rare Bone, and when I picked it up the same thing happened, the "[PLAYER] received a Rare Bone" appears before the item disappeared.

:Uh, Admins (usually) aren't that shallow. All the other games didn't name the player's mom, but Diamond and Pearl, and I assume Platinum, did.

== Game before anime ==

the recent jap episode is clearly based on PT, you know the one with Rotom, so the game has to be released before that episode airs to follow the rule of game before anime. So if some geeks could work out when this Rotom episode should air in USA, then look around 3 months prior to that date, that would likely be the release date

::Evidence:
*In japan PT was released on Sep 13, 3 months later = dec 13, now admitedly the episode aired a little bit different than that date, but its still close. --[[User:Guardian|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Guardian| of]][[User talk:Guardian| Earth]] |[[GSDS|SGMS 2010]]

:Math time. The most recent episode came out about 5 months after it came out in Japan. So, based on your logic, Platinum would come out in February, right? I think that's a little too early.—[[User:Blazevoir|Blazevoir]][[User Talk:Blazevoir|Talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Blazevoir|Contribs]] 21:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

No, not my logic at all. How can i explain this better.

*this episode (Rotom one) is directly linked to platinum, as it is about a platinum only event.
*General rule is that the game comes out before the anime
*So if you can work out when this particular episdoe (Rotom one) will air in USA, then you know that Platinum has to come out before that.

So if there is a geek who is willing to work out when each episode will air, find out when the Rotom one airs in USA and then we know that Platinum will come out say 3 months before that. As Platinum needs to be released before an episode in the anime relating to Platinum can be released. If the general rule isnt to be broken. --[[User:Guardian|Guardian]][[Special:Contributions/Guardian| of]][[User talk:Guardian| Earth]] |[[GSDS|SGMS 2010]]

"Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since Pokémon Gold and Silver. However, both Gold and Silver are also considered colors, making Platinum the first game named solely after a metal."

:If that is the case, then of course it should be put in. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 12:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

== Speed of the game ==

Platinum is faster than Diamond and Pearl, no doubt. But can we consider it as fast as the [[Generation III]] games or almost as fast as them, in general and specific terms? It's because I added that information to the article yet saying "almost as fast if not as fast". [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 13:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:Leave it as it is. In some ways the Gen. III games are faster, while in some ways Platinum is faster. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 17:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
::But still how do we consider if we put D/P in the subject? I understand you're point and it's right but talking about general speed, should we put this way: Gen III = Platinum > D/P or Gen III ≈ Platinum > D/P? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 18:30, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Nah. Saying that the gameplay is slightly faster is good enough. I'm going to reword it a little though. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:45, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

== Fossils in the Underground ==

How is it determined whether you get Skull or Armor Fossils in the Underground? I read in one place that it depends on your Trainer ID, but I'm not sure. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 17:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:For D/P, they're exclusive. Pearl has Armor Fossils and Diamond has Skull Fossils. For Platinum, it doesn't matter. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 17:50, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
::It does depend on your Trainer ID number. Odd gets the Diamond distribution, even gets the Pearl one. How lucky for me, I ended up with the Diamond one. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:03, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
:::Nevermind then. I haven't bothered to try getting any fossils, so I didn't know. [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|R.A. Hunter B.]] 18:05, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

== Missing Pokémon ==

According to the missing Pokémon section of the article, the only ones missing are the Clamperl, Misdreavus, Murkrow, Trapinch, Glameow and Stunky evolution lines. I can't imagine this being true, since I doubt that any of the starters (obviously bar the Gen IV ones) or the Generation II or III Legendaries are available. Is the list incomplete, or are they in fact obtainable in Pt? I haven't played it yet (stupid Europe release date...) so could someone clear this up for me? [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 14:04, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
:Those Pokémon have an in-game location in the two previous versions, but are no longer available in Platinum. '''◄[[User:Kevzo8|Kev]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|zo8]]►''' 14:12, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
::Oh, ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me. [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 15:38, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

== Image cache? ==

Just as we did on the article on Giratina (where for each of its forms the picture changes), can we have this article have different pictures of the boxart in different languages?

== Huh, guys? ==

"''Platinum's PRNG, or pseudorandom number generator, used for determining a Pokémon's personality value, is "broken", leading to the easier breeding of shiny eggs and negligence to reset in-game events such as what Trainers appear in the Battleground. This also happens with Pokémon Emerald. ''"
Just wondering, but does this mean it's more likely for normal Pokémon too produce a shiny egg, or that if two shiny Pokémon breed (or one) it'll be more likely for them to have a shiny egg? [[User:Takoto|~~Takoto]] - [[User_talk:Takoto|サソデイ]] 19:28, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

== Would it mean anything if I take this off. ==

at the beginning of the article, it says it "currently awaits for other regions" or something like that. can I take that off. Do you think they will release it in any other region of the world?--[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight Blue]] 05:07, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

:We're gonna keep it up until they get announced in another region, or they announce that they won't translate it any more, although that won't be likely. We've done that for the past few games.

== It appears that the SHAYMIN has fled... ==

Hey, when I on the GTS, I came across a message. It was the text box for speaking in the game, and it said what the title above said. It happened when I was on the GTS selection menu (the Deposet a Pokémon, search for a Pokémon, and leave menu). I asking if this has happened to anyone, and if they know how this happened. --[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 1:09:37 23 August 2009 (UTC)

== I need a second opinion about this. ==

I was looking, this is a minor detail but the English Pokémon logo on Platinum is actually brighter then on DP.--[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight Blue]] 22:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
:Never mind that's not good for trivia so scratch that.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight Blue]]''' 03:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

== You guys over exaggerated how Team Galactic act in this game ==

So I noticed that in this section, you guys wrote this: "Team Galactic's plans for world domination and the layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. '''In addition, they openly recognize their goal and are more openly villainous.'''" Um, what? Seriously, wtf? Are you guys trying to make Platinum's plot sound more "mature" and "cool"? They don't recognize their "goal" anymore than they do in Diamond/Pearl. And "openly villainous"? '''Seriously'''? Just because you blow up the Great Marsh doesn't mean you're openly villainous O_o... Sounds to me like whoever wrote that is trying to make the game seem more "mature" and "hip". Because the plot isn't ''that'' different from Diamond & Pearl. --Chaos Rush 00:36:14 (UTC)

EDIT: Bah, who cares. Why am I even writing this? I'm just going to edit the article so it's not misleading. --Chaos Rush 05:40:20 (UTC)

== Korean versions and their international relation ==

Does the problem of Korean Pokémon having blank names in non-Korean versions and vice-versa from DP happen in K and non-K versions of Platinum? [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 21:03, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

== Waterfall ==

The article says that you can go down waterfalls without the HM waterfall. That isn't true, I tried it and it was just like D/P.[[User:Pokemon champ|Pokemon champ]] 10:51, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

'''Whirlpool''' (Japanese: '''うずしお''' ''Whirl Tide'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It was the first [[HM]] move to lose its HM status, and was later followed by {{m|Flash}} and {{m|Dive}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it regained its HM status, though as [[HM05]] rather than [[HM06]].

==Effect==
===Generation II===
====In battle====
Whirlpool inflicts damage and traps the target in a whirlpool for 2-5 turns, damaging them slightly at the end of each turn.

====Outside of battle====
Whirlpool clears whirlpools in the field.

===Generation III and on===
Whirlpool inflicts damage and traps the target in a whirlpool for 2-5 turns, damaging them slightly at the end of each turn.

If a wild Pokémon uses Whirlpool on the player's Pokémon, the player may [[escape]] if his or her Pokémon has the {{a|Run Away}} [[ability]]. However, Run Away does not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out.

===Generation IV===
If the user of Whirlpool is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration of Whirlpool is always 5 turns.

==In the anime==

===Pokémon===
'''{{p|Lugia}}''' Lugia dives in the water and its eyes glow white. Then, it spins around and raises up to the surface. As it goes above the water, the whirlpool turns into a cyclone.

'''{{p|Mantine}}'''. Mantine spins around the opponent quickly underwater, creating a whirlpool.
* Used by [[Molly Hale]]'s {{p|Mantine}} in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
'''{{p|Gyarados}}''' Creates a whirlpool using its mouth.
* Used by [[Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues!]]''.
'''{{p|Piplup}}''' glows a blue-white color. It then opens it mouth and a huge Whirlpool is released from it.
* Used by [[Dawn's Piplup]] from ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters]]'' to present.
*Used by [[Team Poképals|Piplup]] in ''{{an|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of the Sky}}''.
'''{{p|Floatzel}}''' glows a blue-white color. It then opens it mouth and a huge Whirlpool is released from it.

==Trivia==
* Although it is only one of three moves to lose HM status, and in fact the first one, it is also the only former HM to regain that status.
** This makes it the only HM move teachable by two separate HMs: HM06 in Generation II, and HM05 in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

Talk:List of original series episodes

2009-08-13T03:57:49Z

Pokemon champ:

How come the original series episode list is "tweaked"? Pallet Party Panic should be Episode 83 but is listed as 81. Snow Way Out and Holiday Hi-Jynx are counted as episodes.

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 17:44, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
:I dunno. It'd really mess up all the numbering we have right now... I really personally wonder why HHJ and SWO aren't counted... they were in the original schedule, they just didn't air them when Pokémon came back because they were meant to be aired as some sort of Christmas special, and that's kinda dumb to do in the middle of April. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:47, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::I always thought they were only considered specials and not episodes. I seem to remember years ago several sites not counting them as episodes. And you're right, it would really mess up everything if we moved all of them. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 19:02, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

::This is discussed in the manual of style. The original reason was so that the numbering lines up with Pokeani, however, things have gotten a little complicated since AG101. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 02:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I really don't think that is a good reason because the fact is that they are still regular episodes and should be noted that way. If they weren't real episodes then why would they be on the boxsets?

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 05:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

:The numbering is based on Japanese broadcasting, so whether or not they are included in American boxsets has no bearing on it. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 09:36, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

== Can we include a translation of the Japanese titles? ==

I find it silly that we have the English title, the kanji for the Japanese title, but no translation of the Japanese. Is there a way to include both the Kanji and translation of the Japanese episode titles? I would be appreciative and be willing to help if there is someway to get them done quickly (like a team effort or some sort of code). Thanks for any answers. (also included on the talk pages for the list of AG and DP episodes) [[User:Monkeyjb1988|Monkeyjb1988]] 17:47, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

== A note on season boundries ==

While title changes usually happen at the start of a season, the start of new regions took more importance for the decision of when the change happens. (Thus, the uneven lengths of the Johto sections.) I don't know where the split between season 1 and season 2 lies but I do know the rest from how the Johto episodes are batched:

*Season 3: The Pokémon Water War -> The Fortune Hunters (The end of Orange + Johto Journeys)
*Season 4: A Goldenrod Opportunity -> Machoke, Machoke Man (Johto League Champions)
*Season 5: Around the Whirlpool -> You're a Star, Larvitar! (Most of Master Quest)
*Season 6: Address Unown -> Watt's with Wattson (The end of Master Quest + Advance)

So keep that in mind with the new template. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 00:14, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

:The boundary between seasons 1 and 2 is a tricky case. [[EP052]] and [[EP053]] are the first two episodes of season 2, but the [[EP054|four ]][[EP055|episodes ]][[EP056|after]][[EP057|ward]] are the last four episodes of season 1. This is due to dub reordering, probably so [[Todd Snap|Todd]]'s original three-episode arc wasn't split between seasons. As a result, the dub season 1's final five episodes are [[EP051|51]]-54-55-56-57 and season 2's first three episodes are 52-53-[[EP058|58]].

:Keep in mind that the two episodes the dub reordered to the start of season 2 (52 and 53) were reordered ''into'' their place in the Japanese order in the aftermath of the [[EP038]] incident. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:55, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Coin Case glitches

2009-07-03T08:42:33Z

Pokemon champ:

so, basically, it's Machop's or Machoke's cry followed by the coin case that sets it off. Wouldn't that be easier to say on the page? Me and my fellow torchics agree on this - Sk8torchic 19:23, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

It should be mentioned that you don't have to fly. This is misleading because i tried it without flying and it worked... so a pokemon with fly should be removed from the things you need,([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 03:23, 21 December 2008 (UTC))

Should it also be mentioned that this glitch can be done by leaving the world with a walk through walls code or something, cause i have found this to work too... http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=enJoLybvjMM ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 07:05, 22 December 2008 (UTC))

== Technical Details ==

This glitch is actually nothing special. When you crash the game, there are some error checks (which don't always work) that will simply reboot it. However, these checks don't reboot correctly.

When a Game Boy game powers on the CPU registers are left in a known state by the Game Boy's boot ROM. Each Game Boy model leaves them in a different state. This is the only reliable way to tell which model the game is running under. Therefore if a game wants to use GB Color features it must check the registers immediately at power-on to see if it's running on a colour-compatible model.

The error handler does not bypass this check when it reboots the game. Since the CPU registers are no longer in the state they were in at startup, the detection fails and the game believes it is running on the orignal Game Boy. Therefore it will never change the on-screen colours, leaving them at whatever they were set to before. If you crash the game on the map, you can see that the colours left on the screen are those of your surroundings.

The only real interesting aspect of this glitch is the colourization of the title screen. Apparently the artists drew a coloured image, and then changed their minds and decided to set the palettes to black rather than redrawing the image.

This glitch can be fixed with a two-byte change to the ROM: change the 2 bytes at address 2 to D2 05. This will make it skip the GBC check and reboot normally. As a Codebreaker code that would be 010002D2 01000305. Game Genie: D20-02F 050-03F. That doesn't stop the game from crashing, just makes the colours work correctly afterward.

What is interesting is why this particular sequence of events crashes the game in the first place.

== Unsure ==

Does this glitch work in Pokémon Crystal?--[[User:Tmwps|Tmwps]] 07:20, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
:The crazy colour effect is still there if you crash the game (but since it's GBC only and thinks it's not on a GBC, it doesn't let you play), but I'm not sure if the crash can still be triggered. [[User:HyperHacker|HyperHacker]] 05:08, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

== Glitch Trainer Pokemon ==

I saw an article about this somewhere and I can't seem to find it anymore. So in the meantime this post shall go here. My name in the game right now is ??!! male sign twice, female sign. Now the main point is that Bulbapedia doesn't talk about the two glitch pokemon that I've encountered via the Missingno. glitch. With this name executing the Missingno. glitch, the trainers that I end up fighting are: Channeler, CoolTrainer (Male), and Blaine, the gym leader. They have six pokemon and all are the same and as follows: A glitch pokemon I dubbed L8 (true name is what seems to be a right triangle,katakana symbol, 2 glitch boxes, followed by an 8). It seems to be the rock type, because grass moves are effective, and normal attacks are not. Its two attacks are Tackle and Screech. And for some reason, it changes backround music to some weird tune. It has no cry other than the changing of music. After which is followed up with a glitch Nidorino. It knows Razor Wind, Horn Attack, Tackle, and TM48 (the glitch explosion). Then the trainer pulls out a classic Missingno. (2 water guns and sky attack). Then another glitch pokemon which I dubbed Pokemon N (True Name: PKMN symbols 3 glitch boxes, then the letter N). Its cry is the tune for the Song move. It knows Tackle and Leer. After that one, a completely normal Flareon comes up. Then another glitch Nidorino pops up. After you defeat that one the match ends and you earn money. Why do these two pokemon show up, and why does the music change is all I want to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:MrMcMan|MrMcMan]] ([[User talk:MrMcMan|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MrMcMan|contribs]]).

"u66865rue45" does not seem to be a glitch that can be caught with any specific method -- the website proving its existance, http://www.trsrockin.com/linkcable.html, only states its name and nothing else, and states no ''constant'' method of obtaining it -- unlike glitches such as [[Z4]], [[X - x]], and [[LM4]], which can all be found with the [[Mew glitch]]. u66865rue45 probably does exist, and there probably is a way to find it, but until that method can be stated, it should not be mentioned. Also, on the source website, other glitches with long unreadable names are mentioned, meaning that this glitch is probably a random result of a link cable being pulled.

== Another glitch town ==

My friend told about this and im not sure if it is true or not...
When you play, stop in the town where you get the skill to use cut outside battles.
Then DO NOT GO TO THE SHIP TO GET THE CUT. Instead, trade a pokemon with cut from a friend's game.
Continue on playing the game until you acquire surf, and are able to use it outside battle.
Go back to the town where the ship is. access the ship pier, but DO NOT GET IN TO THE SHIP.
Instead, when you are on the pier, with the door to ship down from you, surf left from the pier.
Surf on, until you see a town.

That's it. all that I know about it. I would be happy if someone would test this out for me.

== Fence glitch ==

Very similar to the hill glitch and occurs in Ruby, Sapphire, and I think Emerald. In route 121- west of Lilycove- there is a man by a small collection of fences. Two steps directly below him is an item, but the fence is between him and the item. He's looking around, sometimes looking down. If you collect the item then stand where the item was, the man will see you and approach you- STANDING ON THE FENCE. This has happenned to me and I sufferred no ill effects. This only works the fisrt time you battle him, of course. Can this be added? [[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 22:34, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

I tried taking the mail out and it seemed I succeeded, but it didn't show up in the bag and there was still no space. So I tried removing it all. Again, it seemed I was succeeding until I got about halfway through, then the game froze. Another time I went to the Battle House in Viridian City and my only opponent was a triner with a level 0 Typhlosion, and whenever I selected an action, no matter if it was "Run" or "Fight" or whatever, the game would freeze.

== Glitches not working? ==

On Pokemon Red and Yellow, I tried the glitch stating that if you evolve your starter pokemon before you get your Pokedex, that the game won't let you progress, and it didn't work. I got my pokedex, and it had Charmander and Charmeleon in it, and I was able to move along just fine. Something needs to be done...there is either more to this glitch which should be included, or it should be removed for being false.

Also, on Yellow, I visited the Celadon City hotel which resembles a pokemon center as mentioned, and there was no invisible PC anywhere, so again, this needs to be changed or removed for being false.

== Sticky hold glitch ==

I'm surprised this one is missing. It only occurs very rarely, but it's really fun to look at when it does occur. As far as I know it doesn't exist in DPPt, and was introduced in RSE. It has two forms, a wild battle form, and a vs. battle form

For the wild battle form, just KO wild Grimers with covet. It happens rarely but sometimes wild Grimers hold nugget items. Also half the time they have sticky hold, half the time they have stench. If your pokemon KOs the Grimer with covet and had the opportunity to steal a nugget, but was denied the steal because of Sticky Hold, the sprite for the grimer does not disappear from the screen when the grimer faints.

For the Vs. battle form you need: two RSE games/GBAs, a weak pokemon with the "sticky hold" ability(a low lever Grimer is probably best), in the other game
Step 1: Set up a team where the first pokemon has the "Sticky hold" ability, and an item. (preferably a very low level one as it needs to get KOed by covet for the glitch to work, I used a L13 Grimer)
Step 2: double check to make sure you have a secret base setup somewhere the second game can access it.
Step 3: record swap so that the second game can battle against the team including Grimer.
Step 4: KO the Grimer with covet.

When it faints another pokemon will appear on the screen, but the game will still draw the Grimer sprite on top of it using the pallette from the pokemon that is actually battling. the Grimer sprite will remain in place until you switch to something other than the battle screen. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Marhawkman}} ([[User talk:Marhawkman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Marhawkman|contribs]]) ''

== Glitch Trainer Pokemon ==

I saw an article about this somewhere and I can't seem to find it anymore. So in the meantime this post shall go here. My name in the game right now is ??!! male sign twice, female sign. Now the main point is that Bulbapedia doesn't talk about the two glitch pokemon that I've encountered via the Missingno. glitch. With this name executing the Missingno. glitch, the trainers that I end up fighting are: Channeler, CoolTrainer (Male), and Blaine, the gym leader. They have six pokemon and all are the same and as follows: A glitch pokemon I dubbed L8 (true name is what seems to be a right triangle,katakana symbol, 2 glitch boxes, followed by an 8). It seems to be the rock type, because grass moves are effective, and normal attacks are not. Its two attacks are Tackle and Screech. And for some reason, it changes backround music to some weird tune. It has no cry other than the changing of music. After which is followed up with a glitch Nidorino. It knows Razor Wind, Horn Attack, Tackle, and TM48 (the glitch explosion). Then the trainer pulls out a classic Missingno. (2 water guns and sky attack). Then another glitch pokemon which I dubbed Pokemon N (True Name: PKMN symbols 3 glitch boxes, then the letter N). Its cry is the tune for the Song move. It knows Tackle and Leer. After that one, a completely normal Flareon comes up. Then another glitch Nidorino pops up. After you defeat that one the match ends and you earn money. Why do these two pokemon show up, and why does the music change is all I want to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:MrMcMan|MrMcMan]] ([[User talk:MrMcMan|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/MrMcMan|contribs]]).

"u66865rue45" does not seem to be a glitch that can be caught with any specific method -- the website proving its existance, http://www.trsrockin.com/linkcable.html, only states its name and nothing else, and states no ''constant'' method of obtaining it -- unlike glitches such as [[Z4]], [[X - x]], and [[LM4]], which can all be found with the [[Mew glitch]]. u66865rue45 probably does exist, and there probably is a way to find it, but until that method can be stated, it should not be mentioned. Also, on the source website, other glitches with long unreadable names are mentioned, meaning that this glitch is probably a random result of a link cable being pulled. (Also, person on the source website who states the glitch "u66865rue45" isn't even sure that's the right name). [[User:Latitude0116|Latitude0116]] 01:48, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

== Another glitch town ==

My friend told about this and im not sure if it is true or not...
When you play, stop in the town where you get the skill to use cut outside battles.
Then DO NOT GO TO THE SHIP TO GET THE CUT. Instead, trade a pokemon with cut from a friend's game.
Continue on playing the game until you acquire surf, and are able to use it outside battle.
Go back to the town where the ship is. access the ship pier, but DO NOT GET IN TO THE SHIP.
Instead, when you are on the pier, with the door to ship down from you, surf left from the pier.
Surf on, until you see a town.

That's it. all that I know about it. I would be happy if someone would test this out for me.

My sister's friend has a glitched-up hall of fame on her firered. I know MissingNo/'M can cause this, but I'm pretty sure she's never seen a glitch pokemon when she's played.

== Sticky hold glitch ==

I'm surprised this one is missing. It only occurs very rarely, but it's really fun to look at when it does occur. As far as I know it doesn't exist in DPPt, and was introduced in RSE. It has two forms, a wild battle form, and a vs. battle form

For the wild battle form, just KO wild Grimers with covet. It happens rarely but sometimes wild Grimers hold nugget items. Also half the time they have sticky hold, half the time they have stench. If your pokemon KOs the Grimer with covet and had the opportunity to steal a nugget, but was denied the steal because of Sticky Hold, the sprite for the grimer does not disappear from the screen when the grimer faints.

For the Vs. battle form you need: two RSE games/GBAs, a weak pokemon with the "sticky hold" ability(a low lever Grimer is probably best), in the other game
Step 1: Set up a team where the first pokemon has the "Sticky hold" ability, and an item. (preferably a very low level one as it needs to get KOed by covet for the glitch to work, I used a L13 Grimer)
Step 2: double check to make sure you have a secret base setup somewhere the second game can access it.
Step 3: record swap so that the second game can battle against the team including Grimer.
Step 4: KO the Grimer with covet.

When it faints another pokemon will appear on the screen, but the game will still draw the Grimer sprite on top of it using the pallette from the pokemon that is actually battling. the Grimer sprite will remain in place until you switch to something other than the battle screen. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Marhawkman}} ([[User talk:Marhawkman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Marhawkman|contribs]]) ''

== Help ==

Shiny Noctowl is being stubborn again. Basically this one user wants to list Misty winning Togepi in the private competition between her, Ash, Brock, and Meowth to be noted in Misty's Achievements section. I removed it twice and Shiny Noctowl keeps reverting my edits. The reason I believe it shouldn't be under her achivements is:
#It was a private competition. It wasn't like other trainers could enter it nor was it an special annual event. It was a result of an argument.
#If we list it on Misty's page we would also have to list on Ash's, Brock's, and Meowth's pages.
#We would also have to list the competition between Ash and Misty when they fought over who really caught Totodile.
#Does this mean we will have to list the achievements of all of Team Rocket's "The Odd Finger" games?

I don't believe competitions that resulted from an argument between trainers should count as Achievements. Achievements are won at official competitions were more then just Ash and his friends, and enemy's, enter.

== {{u|Shiny Noctowl}} and Pokémon Platinum ==

Apparently, Shiny Noctowl is convinced that [[Pokébeach]]'s report on Pokémon Platinum is 100% proof of the game's existence. However, even Pokébeach believes it might be a hoax and are considering the Pokémon Platinum news as a rumor. I put a disputed tag on the [[Pokémon Platnium]] article because of this, but Shiny Noctowl went and removed the tag for no apparent reason. I've put the tag back up, but I fear that this could turn into an edit war. I trust you know what to do in case this boils over, right? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

{{u|Shiny Noctowl}}'s at it again. This time, he's censoring content on talk pages for no apparent reason, despite the presence of [[User:Shiningpikablu252/PA|a tag that warns of potential offensive content]]. The pages in question are [[Talk:Dragon trio]], [[Talk:The Great Bulbapedia Turkey Shoot]], and [[Talk:Omanyte (Pokémon)]]. He's trying to instigate a fight with me over this issue, and it even spilled out onto [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Fabu-Vinny's talk page in a heading I'd created to try to help resove this mess]]. It appears he won't rest unless I agree with him on this issue, which I don't. Can something be done about this? --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 15:50, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I've spotted a bunch of "bunny" garbage in {{u|Optimus35}}'s [[User:Optimus35/sig|signature]].

== {{u|Vixen Windstorm}} ==

This user is making edits to game infoboxes that adds information that probably shouldn't be there. This user also claims that Game Freak is the developer of every single Pokémon game made, citing for [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)]] "Actually I own this game and what's in the Infobox is what's on the back of the package where Game Freak is also read on every English Pokémon release lol". Just because the Game Freak name appears on the box does not automatically mean Game Freak developed the game--for example, we've had some developed by [[Genius Sonority]], [[Jupiter Corporation]], [[Chunsoft]], NST, and [[Ambrella]], and from what I've read, Card GB was developed by Hudson Soft, but I hid that information from view due to lack of concrete proof. This user could use a reality check, and the information presented in the infoboxes the user has touched could use a once-over. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

== Kenny's Breloom ==

Hey, PAK Man, just wanted to ask whether this article should have been removed. Breloom has appeared in 2 consecutive episodes and it has done ''something'' in both episodes. Most importantly Breloom was the main reason for Ash wanting to teach {{m|Energy Ball}} to {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}}. If it wasn't for Breloom, Turtwig wouldn't have learned that attack. So it is notable in that sense.

But if we have to remove a article, I say remove [[Kenny's Alakazam]]. It only appeared in one episode for a few minutes (maybe even a few seconds) and it did nothing notable enough to get it's own article.

Since you apparently know some Japanese, judging by the first section of your userpage, I was wondering what the nickname of the Jolteon I just got on the GTS means. I looked up the symbols on Wikipedia's Kana table, and, from the best I could tell, it was Rai. What does that mean? For future reference, how can I type Japanese characters?

Hmm also what would fanwork fall under because its not trademarked. For example I used photoshop and took alot of images to make a commic so I suppose I would also be using trademarked sprites.

== Card Uploads ==

now, i know that it isnt hard to search the net and find a pic of the card yur looking for, but it seems as though if it were that easy, somone would have done so. i went into the base set magnemite cards and saw them all there, but in Japanese! i tried to replace them with english pics i have, but i couldnt figure it out. im just wondering what are the requirements for the cards? do they have to be a cirtain size? super high quality? i could go rampant and rip cards left and right off the net.

:Hmmm...I think the {{TCG|Base Set}} pics can just be left Japanese. Personally, I think it looks pretty cool. That's just me, though. As for your question, I'll be glad to help.

::i can honestly say that Bulbapedia is the best Pokemon site on the net, so considering the amount of time ive put into using the site to my advantage, the only reasonable thing to do is give back to the community. now, i know ive made a lot of Magnemite related changes, but, what do you expect? but i do look at random pages and do this and that, ive also taken it upon myself to redo all the attack tables in the each type. if you wouldnt mind, could you take a look at the {{t|Water}} discussion? after that gets answered i can pretty much finish that. as for the TCG pics, i know of sites that have pics redily available, and i know my way around photoshop, so i can resize them properly. all i need to know is how to upload them. as for your ''' ''pressing matters'' ''', you do what you gotta do, i have a full time job, so im not on all day.

:::Okay. I've put in my two cents for the {{t|Water}} discussion, and here's how to upload. First of all, you need to choose the image you want to upload. Once you have the image in the approximate size you want it, simply drag it over to your desktop. Then, make a username on the archives if you haven't already, and click the '''upload media''' button toward the lower right of your screen. Once you are on the uploading screen, click '''browse'''. Then, go to the desktop option on the small window that pops up, and your image shold be there. Click your image ONCE to highlight it, and click '''open'''. Then, under '''destination filename''', type what you want your image to be called. However, you MUST not delete the extension on the file, like ".jpg" or ".gif". Then, click '''upload'''. If you have a problem or don't understand, let me know. -[[Image:Spr 3e 186.gif|30px]][[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']][[Image:Spr 3e 186.gif|30px]]

Quit writing junk about evolution on the anime pages. If it gets reverted, that means it's NOT supposed to be there. No revert wars please. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 19:00, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word Pokémon is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*A list of the admins that you can contact if there is a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here!{{:User:Theryguy512/Sig}} 14:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
