==Synopsis==
When the episode starts {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} are traveling to [[Pallet Town]], they are all excited to be back, especially Tracey who is looking forward to meeting {{an|Professor Oak}} and can't wait to show him his many sketchbooks.

When Ash arrives home, Misty and Ash are surprised to see {{an|Brock}} waiting for them in the house. They are confused as to why Brock had left [[Professor Ivy]] back on [[Valencia Island]]. He gives no reason as to why he left and when Ash and Misty mention Professor Ivy, Brock falls to the ground shivering saying "Don't mention that name..." ominously. Misty theorizes that she dumped him. [[Delia Ketchum|Mrs. Ketchum]] arrives home and explains how Brock came here: She and [[Mimey]] found him on the ground in a grassland and took him home once she realizes who he was. Since then Brock has been helping around the house, with Brock fighting over the chores with Mimey.

Whilst discussing dinner, Tracey insists on seeing Professor Oak. Ash is reminded of the [[GS Ball]] and shows Mrs. Ketchum his trophy, which she suggests she could use as a dumbbell.

Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Misty, Tracey and Brock travel to Professor Oak's laboratory with {{TRT}} watching from a distance. Ash is welcomed to the house by his {{AP|Muk}} who is crushing Professor Oak under his weight. Tracey ignores the situation and asks to show Professor Oak his sketches.

Ash hands Professor Oak the GS Ball and he puts it away to examine it later. Professor Oak then shows them around the Laboratory. Tracey sketches every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he sees and shows Professor Oak his sketches. Tracey nervously awaits Oaks approval, though he whispers to Brock that he "hasn't seen all the sketches so far but...". He is interrupted by {{MTR}} activating a circus net that engulfs the Laboratory. Meanwhile {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears and tries to go through the net though it can't.

Inside the net, Team Rocket are in and perform the {{motto}} while doing a circus act. They try to steal Pikachu, but Ash sends out his Muk to attack {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}. Muk ignores the Lickitung and goes on to hug Jessie. James sends out his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, which again Muk hugs. James tries his luck with {{m|Razor Leaf}} but it "just didn't cut it." as said in the episode. Victreebel tries to swallow Ash's Muk but it uses {{m|Poison Gas}} before it can use {{m|PoisonPowder}}. Lickitung uses {{m|Lick}} on Muk but it does nothing.

James commands Victreebel to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on Muk which works, much to Ash's surprise. Ash switches to {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Team Rocket then throw rings around Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Professor Oak, Brock and Tracey which stops them from moving. A [[Team Rocket's Mechas|Super Sucker]] then proceeds to suck in every [[Poké Ball]] that are in the Laboratory, including Tracey's Sketchbooks. Meowth asks again why Brock came back, though he doesn't give an answer. The last ball sucked in is the GS Ball, but then a rip in the tent appears, caused by a mysterious man and his [[Gary%27s_Nidoqueen#Nidoqueen|Nidoqueen]]. [[Team Rocket's Mechas|The Meowth Balloon]] falls to the ground, releasing every Poké Ball in it.

The mysterious man turns out to be {{Gary}} and the Nidoqueen attacks Lickitung by grabbing its tongue and swinging it into Team Rocket. Meowth tries using {{m|Scratch}} but it doesn't work, only breaking his claws. Gary tells his Nidoqueen to strike back, hurling Team Rocket into the air.

Ash and Gary start a battle to prove who has become the better Trainer over the past months. "Will Ash have the hometown advantage, or is he about to become the Local Loser?"

==Trivia==
* This episode's dub title is a reference to the phrase, "A Tense Situation."
*The book ''[[Go West, Young Ash]]'' is based on this episode.
*At one point, Misty says "Sometimes you're so immature as Gary," and so Ash did what Brock is doing throughout the episode (curling up in a ball saying "Don't mention that name."), which Misty replies, "Come on Ash! Quit acting like Brock!"

===Errors===
* This episode claims that this is the first time that Tracey has ever met {{an|Professor Oak}} or {{Delia}}. However this contradicts ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' movie where Professor Oak, Delia, and [[Professor Ivy]] travel to [[Shamouti Island]] and met up with Ash, Misty, and Tracey himself at the end of the movie. This also contradicts ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' since Tracey saw Oak on the phone monitor, and even went as far as to introduce himself as "Tracey Sketchit", and had a full conversation with him about {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''.
* When Ash sends out his {{AP|Tauros}}, it is sent out from a regular Poké Ball, instead of the Safari Ball it was captured in.

===Dub edits===
*In the scene where Delia is accidentally trampling Brock she does not recognize him until he looks up. In the original she recognizes Brock before he looks up.
* Ash commanded {{AP|Muk}} to use Poison Gas in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, Ash said "Betbeton!" (Muk's Japanese name).
* When James ordered his Victreebel to attack Ash's Muk, in the dub he told it to "get stuck on Muk". In the original he commanded it to use {{m|Double-Edge}}.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete|synopsis}}
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are traveling trough some mountains, and get lost again. While journeying through the mountainous region, Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{TRT}} hear what sounds like an explosion in the distance. Upon arriving at the scene, they instead find several trucks in a pile-up. A local construction worker reveals that a group of {{p|Diglett}} inhabiting the area are responsible in an attempt to halt the building of a "Great Dam" within the region. The worker says that rewards will be offered for those who succeed in halting the Diglett's interference; [[Gary Oak]] appears. Gary goes out to battle the Diglett, leaving all of the others to watch and [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]] to cheer. He tries to send out some of his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but none will come out of their Poké Balls. Gary yells for all the {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to throw all their Pokemon at the Diglett, yet the Diglett keep returning the balls of the Pokemon who wouldn't come out. The attempts of the invited Trainers fall flat, as their Pokémon possess no desire to do battle with the Diglett. Gary states that clearly no one could battle the Diglett, and is driven away in his car.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plot to take possession of the hordes of new Pokémon nearby, but quickly realize their efforts would be in vain with simply {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} at their disposal. Shortly thereafter, seemingly out of a love for their owners, the two Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, respectively. They then show off their newly evolved Pokémon in an ambush on Ash and his friends. However, despite the evolutions, Team Rocket are soundly defeated by the Diglett and Dugtrio as Arbok uses {{m|Dig}} to go underground, with Weezing following along.

The episode concludes with the scene of the construction worker vowing to bring the dam project to a halt, after learning that Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} inhabited the area peacefully prior to his intrusion.

==Major events==
* [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Ekans}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.
* [[James]]'s {{p|Koffing}} evolves into {{TP|James|Weezing}}.
* James's Weezing is revealed to know {{m|Tackle}}.

==Trivia==
* This is [[Nathan Price]]'s last episode as {{MTR}}.
* Apparently, a Pokémon can choose whether or not to come out of their [[Poké Ball]], as demonstrated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, and later, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, and {{TP|Ash|Oshawott}}. However, this is the only instance where the Pokémon refuses to exit its Poké Ball, as opposed to sending itself out whenever it feels like it.
* This is the [[EP019|second episode]] where a character is trying to build something that would destroy the area around them, and the Pokémon that interfere with it to save their area are targeted by the character to be exterminated. Unlike [[Nastina]], however, the construction worker realizes why the Pokémon are interfering, and cancels the project.
* Team Rocket [[breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] once again, when they first reveal their evolved Pokémon to Ash and friends. They mentioned that their Arbok and Weezing are being shown "[[List of Pokémon by anime debut|for the first time on TV]]".
* This is the first time when two of main characters' Pokémon evolve simultaneously. This wouldn't happen again until ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]''.
**Coincidentally, in both instances, one of the Pokémon involved belonged to Jessie.
* Jessie and James mention [[experience]] points in this episode.
* In the dub, when all of the Trainers are attempting to send out their Pokémon, one of the Trainers can be heard trying to send out a {{p|Porygon}}.
* In the dub, the Dam is referred to as the "Gaiva Dam", likely a play on the phrase "Give a damn".
* This episode marks the first time Brock and Misty meet Gary in the dub.

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock points out that Diglett plow the ground and that Dugtrio plant the trees, but the clips actually show Dugtrio plowing the ground and the Diglett planting trees.
* When [[James's Weezing]]'s second head opened its mouth for the first time, it temporarily had the two upper square teeth the main head has. This was removed in subsequent appearances.
* After the hot spring, where Ash, Misty and Brock were bathing in, was emptied by the Diglett, the Pokémon are heard saying their Japanese name, Digda, instead of Diglett.
* The construction worker says "Digletts," when "Diglett" is both singular and plural.

===Dub edits===
* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* In the Japanese version, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates that the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons, which is changed to an alien invasion in the English version.
* The [[wp:kanji|kanji]] for the hot spring advertisement was removed.
* Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also had the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because Beauty and the Beach (the first meeting between Gary and Misty and Brock) was still banned by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star was replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders referred to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version, instead of "Sir", as in the dub.
**Also, Brock says that they think he's an old man in the dub.
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 were rewritten.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When they figured out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their Trainers in leaving the balls, Misty referred to them as masters in the dub.

* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* In the Japanese version, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates that the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons, which is changed to an alien invasion in the English version.
* The [[wp:kanji|kanji]] for the hot spring advertisement was removed.
* Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also had the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because Beauty and the Beach (the first meeting between Gary and Misty and Brock) was still banned by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star was replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders referred to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version, instead of "Sir", as in the dub.
**Also, himself says that they think he's an old man in the dub.
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 were rewritten.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When they figured out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their Trainers in leaving the balls, Misty referred to them as masters in the dub.

Well, this is my talkpage, where you can say stuff to me. To all the users who I reverted or something: please, think by yourself: "Why was is removed? Was it notable? Was it wrong?" before you come complain. Oh, and if I posted something on your talk, reply to it there, not here. This makes it better to follow for others. Thanks all!

== Your Party Template ==

The problem is that you need to end each <code>{{Pokémon</code> block with "<code>}}</code>", with another <code>}}</code> at the end to close the <code>{{Party</code> block. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 18:21, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

== Feraligatr discussion ==

What I wrote is essentially a new thread on the same topic, and I don't see why the the date of earlier replies would matter. It is strange that they would change a Pokémon's name everywhere because of the games, when move names like PoisonPowder could be easily changed in the later generation games... So if you don't mind, I would like to undo your undoing. --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 14:50, 19 April 2011 (UTC)
:Look. Stuff like this often happens. Replying to old discussions is useless, because those topics are already discussed. They've ended years ago, and because of that, edits like yours are often undone. I hope you understand now. If not, please discuss this further with a staff member. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 17:05, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
::So you're saying people have already discussed the reason for not changing Feraligator's official name? Not anywhere I've seen... --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 18:31, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Feraligatr is its official name, stated by Nintendo. It hasn't been shown like Feraligator on any official source. Also, here's a part of the [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy|talk page policy]]: ''Please check the dates of a discussion before you reply to it. Unless there is good reason for revitalizing an old conversation, comments on sections older than six months old will be removed. This is because by this point the problems cited will have been cleared up.'' If you still don't understand, please, talk to a staff member about this. I'm no staff member, just an user. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 09:37, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
::::I thought that was a good reason, because just deleting the o permanently doesn't make much sense! --[[User:SHoggard|sHoggard - rookie Pokéwiz]] 10:30, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
:::::Its Pokémon. It doesn't have to make sense! I'll explain again, and for the final time: Pokémon names have up to ten characters. That's because the games only allow up to ten characters. It would be weird if the anime, TCG, manga and community put an o in between. So Nintendo left out the o, and I, for myself, am happy with that. By the way, Feraligatrs 'missing o' is already mentioned in its Trivia section. So... can we finally put an end to this discussion? I'm getting tired of it. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 16:41, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

== hey ==

i know hes the one who deleted it. the page history said so so you can`t tell me he didnt. i was just wondering what was wrong with my article that it needed to be tooken off within 30 seconds of me uploading it {{unsigned|Ethann31}}
:OK. First, check the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]]. You can see there that it was Kenji-Girl who deleted it. Dennou Zenshi just put the notice which said: This page should be deleted. Second, a page like yours is unneeded, because there is [[List of Pokémon by base stats|a page]] where you can find that information by just clicking the buttons on top. Third, make a section. I named it now. Fourth, check your grammar and check the wikicode stuff. Fifth, sign your comments with four tildes. Thanks. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 17:12, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the tip! I copied it from another wikia and didn't think to check if the account was just the same. Saved me a lot of trouble. Thanks again '''[[User:Empath-Silvio|Empath]]-[[User_talk:Empath-Silvio|Silvio]]''' 16:44, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

== Caption for Red Gyrados ==

Just so you won't blame it on me, I didn't mess up the caption on the Red Gyrados page. When I edited it, it was already like that, but I didn't know how to fix it, so I left it like that. I'm not blaming it on anyone else, because it was most likely an accident, but this time, it wasn't my accident. [[User:Crafty Scrafty|I am a talking Scrafty!]][[User talk:Crafty Scrafty| Talk to me!]] 11:30, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:I know that you didn't do it, it was Skullee09. It was just unlucky that you made an edit right in between. So... Yeah. It's fine. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 11:32, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

== New design for your talk page and user page ==

I'm not sure if this is off-topic or not, but I like the new design for your user and talk page. It's very interesting and eye-catching. [[User:Crafty Scrafty|I am a talking Scrafty!]][[User talk:Crafty Scrafty| Talk to me!]] 11:40, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:Heh, thanks. I worked about a week on it to make it perfect. [[User:Takharii/Userpage wikicode|This page]] was a big help to me, if you're interested. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 11:43, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

== Relinking TCG ==

Just letting you know that the link template {{template|Trading Card Game}} exists. You should use that instead of <nowiki>[[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]]</nowiki>. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:Oh, didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 16:13, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
::Also, there is a {{template|stat}} link template. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:54, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, I just found that out after my last edit. I sorta knew that this was coming. It's just so hard to remember them all! Anyway, I'll try to remember. Thanks again. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 09:56, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
::::{{bp|List of link templates}} has most of the common ones. If you really want them all, you can check {{cat|Link templates|the category}}. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:18, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::The links using Template:TCG are not to be changed. They are linked that way to reflect the nature of how sets and reprints work. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:59, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
::::::You are referring to my redirect link removals, right? I won't do that anymore with TCG redirects like that. Thanks for telling me. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 16:33, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

== In regards to your summary ==

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Who%27s_That_Pok%C3%A9mon%3F&curid=7965&diff=1524903&oldid=1524397 I was being neither funny nor dumb.] It was a simple mistake. As you can see, it was a massive edit, and edits of that proportion are bound to have some mistakes. I'm not perfect, but I'd prefer not to be called "dumb" for my mistakes. Thank you. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 17:47, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
:Oh, I'm sorry, so sorry. I was grumpy that day, and I didn't think of the fact that it could be a mistake. And I didn't look at the history before the edit, only afterwards. It was then that I noticed that it was you, and you did a huge edit. The "dumb" wasn't meant as offensive to somebody. Again, I'm sorry, and I hereby promise that I won't go on Bulbapedia anymore while I'm grumpy. And I hope that this can be forgiven. [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 16:39, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

==Could you please tell me how to make a USER PAGE ==
Could you please tell me how to make a USER PAGE , I'M new to bulbapedia {{unsigned|AshKetchumRocks!!}}
:You need to be autoconfirmed. That'll happen when you've been on Bulbapedia for a specific amount of time and made a specific amount of mainspace edits. I can't tell you how much of either, because I don't know. Nobody knows, except for some higher ups. But whatever you do, DON'T go bothering them about this. They won't tell. So just make good edits, wait a while, and then you can make it. Oh, and don't forget to sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. Enjoy Bulbapedia! [[User:TyraniThrone|Tyrani]][[User talk:TyraniThrone|Throne]] 16:48, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

==Hey dude.==
I was just lookin' through my userspace history and then I was like "WOAH! A DUDE MADE AN EDIT!" (it was you) I looked at it and it was a very helpful edit (you fixed a redlink or something) and then I decided to thank you. Even though you made the edit a while ago, I still came to thank you. So, here it goes:

''Thanks for the help!''

'''Dig Those Diglett!''' (Japanese: '''ディグダがいっぱい！''' ''Full of {{tt|Digda!|Diglett!}}'') is the 31st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 28, 1997 and in the United States on October 19, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends.}} were traveling trough some mountains, and got lost again. While journeying through the mountainous region, Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{TRT}} hear what sounds like an explosion in the distance. Upon arriving at the scene, they instead find several trucks in a pile-up. A local construction worker reveals that a group of {{p|Diglett}} inhabiting the area are responsible in an attempt to halt the building of a "Great Dam" within the region. The worker says that rewards will be offered for those who succeed in halting the Diglett's interference; conveniently, [[Gary Oak]] chooses this moment to make one of his appearances. Gary goes out to battle the Diglett, leaving the all the others to watch and [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]] to cheer. He trys to send out some of his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but none will come out of there Poké Balls. Gary yells for all the trainer to throw all their Pokemon at the Diglett, yet the Diglett keep returning the balls of the Pokemon who wouldn't come out. The attempts of the invited trainers fall flat, as their Pokémon possess no desire to do battle with the Diglett. Gary states that clearly no one could battle the Diglett, and drives away in his car.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plot to take possession of the hordes of new Pokémon nearby, but quickly realize their efforts would be in vain with simply {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} at their disposal. Shortly thereafter, seemingly out of a love for their owners, the two Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, respectively. They then show off their newly evolved Pokémon in an ambush on Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}}. However, despite the evolutions, Team Rocket are soundly defeated by the Diglett and Dugtrio as Arbok uses {{m|Dig}} to go underground, with Weezing following along.
The episode concludes with the scene of the construction worker vowing to bring the dam project to a halt, after learning that Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} inhabited the area peacefully prior to his intrusion.

==Trivia==
* This is [[Nathan Price]]'s last episode as {{MTR}}.
* Apparently, a Pokémon can choose whether or not to come out of their [[Poké Ball]], as demonstrated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, and later, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, and {{TP|Ash|Oshawott}}. However, this is the only instance where the Pokémon refuses to exit its Poké Ball, as opposed to sending itself out whenever it feels like it.
* This is the second episode where a character is trying to build something that would destroy the area around them, and the Pokémon that interfere with it to save their area are targeted by the character to be exterminated. Unlike [[Nastina]], however, the construction worker realizes why the Diglett are interfering with him, and cancels the dam.
* Team Rocket [[breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] once again, when they first reveal their evolved Pokémon to Ash and friends. They mentioned that their Arbok and Weezing are being shown "[[List of Pokémon by anime debut|for the first time on TV]]".
* This is the first time when two of main characters' Pokémon evolve simultaneously. This wouldn't happen again until ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]''.
**Coincidentally, in both instances, one of the Pokémon involved belonged to Jessie.
* Jessie and James mention [[experience]] points in this episode.
* In the dub, when all of the Trainers are attempting to send out their Pokémon, one of the Trainers can be heard trying to send out a {{p|Porygon}}.
* In the dub, the Dam is referred to as the "Gaiva Dam", likely a play on the phrase "Give a damn".
* This episode marks the first time Brock and Misty meet Gary in the dub.

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock points out that Diglett plow the ground and that Dugtrio plant the trees, but the clips actually show Dugtrio plowing the ground and the Diglett planting trees.
* When [[James's Weezing]]'s second head opened its mouth for the first time, it temporarily had the two upper square teeth the main head has. This was removed in subsequent appearances.
* After the hot spring, where Ash, Misty and Brock were bathing in, was emptied by the Diglett, the Pokémon are heard saying their Japanese name, Digda, instead of Diglett.
* The construction worker says "Digletts," when "Diglett" is both singular and plural.

===Dub edits===
* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* In the Japanese version, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates that the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons, which is changed to an alien invasion in the English version.
* The [[wp:kanji|kanji]] for the hot spring advertisement was removed.
* Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also had the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because Beauty and the Beach (the first meeting between Gary and Misty and Brock) was still banned by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star was replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders referred to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version instead of "Sir", rather than Brock himself saying that they think he's an old man.
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 were rewritten.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When they figured out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their Trainers in leaving the balls, Misty referred to them as masters in the dub.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends.}} were traveling trough some mountains, and got lost again. While journeying through the mountainous region, Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{TRT}} hear what sounds like an explosion in the distance. Upon arriving at the scene, they instead find several trucks in a pile-up. A local construction worker reveals that a group of {{p|Diglett}} inhabiting the area are responsible in an attempt to halt the building of a "Great Dam" within the region. The worker says that rewards will be offered for those who succeed in halting the Diglett's interference; conveniently, [[Gary Oak]] chooses this moment to make one of his appearances. Gary goes out to battle the Diglett, leaving the all the others to watch and [[Gary's cheerleaders|his cheerleaders]] to cheer. He trys to send out some of his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but none will come out of there Pokéballs. Gary yells for all the trainer to throw al their Pokemon at the Diglett, yet the Diglett keep returning the balls of the Pokemon who wouldn't come out. The attempts of the invited trainers fall flat, as their Pokémon possess no desire to do battle with the Diglett. Gary states that clearly no one could battle the Diglett, and drives away in his car.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plot to take possession of the hordes of new Pokémon nearby, but quickly realize their efforts would be in vain with simply {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} at their disposal. Shortly thereafter, seemingly out of a love for their owners, the two Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, respectively. They then show off their newly evolved Pokémon in an ambush on Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}}. However, despite the evolutions, Team Rocket are soundly defeated by the Diglett and Dugtrio as Arbok uses {{m|Dig}} to go underground, with Weezing following along.
The episode concludes with the scene of the construction worker vowing to bring the dam project to a halt, after learning that Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} inhabited the area peacefully prior to his intrusion.

==Major events==
* [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Ekans}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
When the episode starts {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} are traveling to [[Pallet Town]], they are all excited to be back, especially Tracey who is looking forward to meeting {{an|Professor Oak}} and can't wait to show him his many sketchbooks.

When Ash arrives home, Misty and Ash are surprised to see {{an|Brock}} waiting for them in the house. They are confused as to why Brock had left [[Professor Ivy]] back on [[Valencia Island]]. He gives no reason as to why he left and when Ash and Misty mention Professor Ivy, Brock falls to the ground shivering saying "Don't mention that name..." ominously. Misty theorizes that she dumped him. [[Delia Ketchum|Mrs. Ketchum]] arrives home and explains how Brock came here: She and [[Mimey]] found him on the ground in a grassland and took him home once she realizes who he was. Since then Brock has been helping around the house, with Brock fighting over the chores with Mimey.

Whilst discussing dinner, Tracey insists on seeing Professor Oak. Ash is reminded of the [[GS Ball]] and shows Mrs. Ketchum his trophy, which she suggests she could use as a dumbbell.

Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Misty, Tracey and Brock travel to Professor Oak's laboratory with {{TRT}} watching from a distance. Ash is welcomed to the house by his {{AP|Muk}} who is crushing Professor Oak under his weight. Tracey ignores the situation and asks to show Professor Oak his sketches.

Ash hands Professor Oak the GS Ball and he puts it away to examine it later. Professor Oak then shows them around the Laboratory. Tracey sketches every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he sees and shows Professor Oak his sketches. Tracey nervously awaits Oaks approval, though he whispers to Brock that he "hasn't seen all the sketches so far but...". He is interrupted by {{MTR}} activating a circus net that engulfs the Laboratory. Meanwhile {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears and tries to go through the net though it can't.

Inside the net, Team Rocket are in and perform the {{motto}} while doing a circus act. They try to steal Pikachu, but Ash sends out his Muk to attack {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}. Muk ignores the Lickitung and goes on to hug Jessie. James sends out his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, which again Muk hugs. James tries his luck with {{m|Razor Leaf}} but it doesn't work. Victreebel tries to swallow Ash's Muk but it uses {{m|Poison Gas}} before it can use {{m|PoisonPowder}}. Lickitung uses {{m|Lick}} on Muk but it does nothing.

James commands Victreebel to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on Muk which works, much to Ash's surprise. Ash switches to {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Team Rocket then throw rings around Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Professor Oak, Brock and Tracey which stops them from moving. A [[Team Rocket's Mechas|Super Sucker]] then proceeds to suck in every [[Poké Ball]] that are in the Laboratory, including Tracey's Sketchbooks. Meowth asks again why Brock came back, though he doesn't give an answer. The last ball sucked in is the GS Ball, but then a rip in the tent appears, caused by a mysterious man and his [[Gary%27s_Nidoqueen#Nidoqueen|Nidoqueen]]. [[Team Rocket's Mechas|The Meowth Balloon]] falls to the ground, releasing every Poké Ball in it.

The mysterious man turns out to be {{Gary}} and the Nidoqueen attacks Lickitung by grabbing its tongue and swinging it into Team Rocket. Meowth tries using {{m|Scratch}} but it doesn't work, only breaking his claws. Gary tells his Nidoqueen to strike back, hurling Team Rocket into the air.

Ash and Gary start a battle to prove who has become the better Trainer over the past months. "Will Ash have the hometown advantage, or is he about to become the Local Loser?"

'''A Tent Situation''' (Japanese: '''かえってきたマサラタウン！''' ''Return to {{tt|Masara Town|Pallet Town}}!'') is the 115th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on September 30, 1999 and in the United States on October 7, 2000.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
When the episode starts {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{Tracey}} are traveling to [[Pallet Town]], they are all excited to be back, especially Tracey who is looking forward to meeting {{an|Professor Oak}} and can't wait to show him his many sketchbooks.

When Ash arrives home, Misty and Ash are surprised to see {{an|Brock}} waiting for them in the house. They are confused as to why Brock had left [[Professor Ivy]] back on [[Valencia Island]]. He gives no reason as to why he left and when Ash and Misty mention Professor Ivy, Brock falls to the ground shivering saying "Don't mention that name..." ominously. Misty theorizes that she dumped him. [[Delia Ketchum|Mrs. Ketchum}} arrives home and explains how Brock came here: She and [[Mimey]] found him on the ground in a grassland and took him home once she realizes who he was. Since then Brock has been helping around the house, with Brock fighting over the chores with Mimey.

Whilst discussing dinner, Tracey insists on seeing Professor Oak. Ash is reminded of the [[GS Ball]] and shows Mrs. Ketchum his trophy, which she suggests she could use as a dumbbell.

Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Misty, Tracey and Brock travel to Professor Oak's laboratory with {{TRT}} watching from a distance. Ash is welcomed to the house by his {{AP|Muk}} who is crushing Professor Oak under his weight. Tracey ignores the situation and asks to show Professor Oak his sketches.

Ash hands Professor Oak the GS Ball and he puts it away to examine it later. Professor Oak then shows them around the Laboratory. Tracey sketches every {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} he sees and shows Professor Oak his sketches. Tracey nervously awaits Oaks approval, though he whispers to Brock that he "hasn't seen all the sketches so far but...". He is interrupted by {{MTR}} activating a circus net that engulfs the Laboratory. Meanwhile {{an|Jigglypuff}} appears and tries to go through the net though it can't.

Inside the net, Team Rocket are in and perform the {{motto}} while doing a circus act. They try to steal Pikachu, but Ash sends out his Muk to attack {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}. Muk ignores the Lickitung and goes on to hug Jessie. James sends out his {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, which again Muk hugs. James tries his luck with {{m|Razor Leaf}} but it doesn't work. Victreebel tries to swallow Ash's Muk but it uses {{m|Poison Gas}} before it can use {{m|PoisonPowder}}. Lickitung uses {{m|Lick}} on Muk but it does nothing.

James commands Victreebel to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on Muk which works, much to Ash's surprise. Ash switches to {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Team Rocket then throw rings around Ash, Misty, Pikachu, Professor Oak, Brock and Tracey which stops them from moving. A [[Team Rocket's Mechas|Super Sucker]] then proceeds to suck in every [[Poké Ball]] that are in the Laboratory, including Tracey's Sketchbooks. Meowth asks again why Brock came back, though he doesn't give an answer. The last ball sucked in is the GS Ball, but then a rip in the tent appears, caused by a mysterious man and his [[Gary%27s_Nidoqueen#Nidoqueen|Nidoqueen]]. [[Team Rocket's Mechas|The Meowth Balloon]] falls to the ground, releasing every Poké Ball in it.

The mysterious man turns out to be {{Gary}} and the Nidoqueen attacks Lickitung by grabbing its tongue and swinging it into Team Rocket. Meowth tries using {{m|Scratch}} but it doesn't work, only breaking his claws. Gary tells his Nidoqueen to strike back, hurling Team Rocket into the air.

Ash and Gary start a battle to prove who has become the better Trainer over the past months. "Will Ash have the hometown advantage, or is he about to become the Local Loser?"

==Major events==

*At one point, Misty says "Sometimes you're so immature as Gary," and so Ash did what Brock is doing throughout the episode (curling up in aball saying "Don't mension that name.", which Misty replies, "Come on Ash! Quit acting like Brock!"

===Errors===
* This episode claims that this is the first time that Tracey has ever met {{an|Professor Oak}} or {{Delia}}. However this contradicts ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' movie where Professor Oak, Delia, and [[Professor Ivy]] travel to [[Shamouti Island]] and met up with Ash, Misty, and Tracey himself at the end of the movie. This also contradicts ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'' since Tracey saw Oak on the phone monitor, and even went as far as to introduce himself as "Tracey Sketchit", and had a full conversation with him about {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}} in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''.
* When Ash sends out his {{AP|Tauros}}, it is sent out from a regular Poké Ball, instead of the Safari Ball it was captured in.

===Dub edits===
*In the scene where Delia is accidentally trampling Brock she does not recognize him until he looks up. In the original she recognizes Brock before he looks up.
* Ash commanded {{AP|Muk}} to use Poison Gas in the English dub. In the original Japanese version, Ash said "Betbeton!" (Muk's Japanese name).
* When James ordered his Victreebel to attack Ash's Muk, in the dub he told it to "get stuck on Muk". In the original he commanded it to use {{m|Double-Edge}}.

[[Talk:Missingno./Archive 1|Archive 1]] (2 October 2005 - 25 October 2009)

==Split==
Missingno. (Red/Blue) and Missingno. (Yellow) are very different from each other. They should be separate pages. Compare [http://www.trsrockin.com/dex_mn.html] and [http://www.trsrockin.com/dex_yellow.html]. Also compare [http://glitchcity.info/glitchdex/RB:115] and [http://glitchcity.info/glitchdex/Y:115]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|SnorlaxMonster]] 11:17, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Is there a tag for this? Because I can't find one. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|SnorlaxMonster]] 05:58, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
:No. It's still the same glitch, it just manifests different effects in different games. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 06:16, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
::It's really as different as {{p|'M}} and {{p|3TrainerPoké}}, other than the fact that they have the same name. The stats are completely different, Yellow's types are Normal/Glitch whereas RB's types are Bird/Normal, Yellow's Starting moves are Water Gun, Bind, Pay Day whereas RB's starting moves are Water Gun, Water Gun, Sky Attack.--[[User:SnorlaxMonster|SnorlaxMonster]] 07:12, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
:::We count Missingno.'s Yellow version counterpart as an alternate form here. It's the same species. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 14:00, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
::::But that would make {{p|3TrainerPoké}} an alternate form of {{p|'M}}. The only difference between the relationship of those two, and the relationship of the two Missingno.s is that the Missingno.s have the same name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|Snorlax]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|Monster]] 06:07, 4 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::And that difference makes all the difference. They're the same species, just as Sandy Cloak and Trash Cloak Wormadam are the same species, or Normal and Defense Deoxys. [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] wants YOU! [[User:Missingno. Master/The Order of the Glitch/Bulbapedia Branch|Join the Order of the Glitch!]] [[User talk: Missingno. Master|(my talk page)]] 12:12, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
::::::OK fine, but is there any way to have both Bird/Normal and Normal/999 in the top box? [[User:SnorlaxMonster|Snorlax]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|Monster]]

==More rumours==
Not mentioned on the rumours page is a theory about missingo's origin and why cubone and marowak seem so similar to kangaskhan. The theory is easy to believe even if it comes from a 4chan post. see [http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs043.snc3/13067_211106843303_637453303_3035423_5482389_n.jpg] for a screencap of the argument. --[[User:Iain7|Iain7]] 23:45, 17 December 2009 (GMT)

== Can Yellow Missingno. replicate 128 of an item? ==

I read somewhere that Missingno. in Yellow can replicate 128 of an item, but elsewhere that it cannot. Which is true? [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] 17:46, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:First another question, can Missingno. (in either game) replicate items when encountered using the [[Mew glitch]]? If no, then it cannot. If yes it might be able to. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:40, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
::Never mind, found the answer here: http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,5904.0.html. When encountered through the Mew glitch in any of RBY, it will still duplicate items. However, it will only do so in Yellow if the game doesn't freeze. Apparently it will ''always'' freeze in an emulator since it can't detect the glitchy game code properly, unlike a cartridge which has a small chance of not freezing.

== Name Capitalization ==

Just wondering, why is MissingNo. spelled with a lowercase N in the article? It doesn't make sense. The "No." is obviously meant to be a separate word from "Missing", so it should be capitalized, just like what has been done to many names of moves and items in Generation IV. Now, before you say ''"But it's never been officially spelled like that!"'', it's ''also'' never been officially spelled with ''any'' lowercase letters, just in all capitals, so the current capitalization that you're using can't be considered officially correct, either. "MissingNo." with a capital N is the most logical capitalization, so why not use it? Also, using the current article's capitalization is just encouraging the common mispronunciation ''"Missing-No"'' instead of ''"Missing-Number"'', how it ''should'' be pronounced.
—[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 07:36, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:Based on what you just said, your version of the capitalization is no more correct or incorrect than this one. This one just looks better.

::::We don't capitalize the Pokémon names because that's not the right way to spell them. They're in all capitals in the main games, but that's just because that's always how been. I'm sure they would have changed the capitalization format for Pokémon names in Generation IV if it weren't the Generation III compatibility (because that would look extremely weird if all the Pokémon you caught in your DS game had proper capitalization, while any Pokémon you migrated from your GBA games would be in all caps). We've seen Pokémon names spelled with correct capitalization in official places outside of the main games themselves, so it's safe to assume that the correct spelling of Pokémon names isn't in all caps. And you could take Nintendo's quotes as evidence, but they contradict themselves in the spelling. First they call it "MissngNO" with a capital "NO" and no period, and then they call "MissingNo", with the O being lowercase and still no period. Obviously, there's supposed to be a period in its name, so Nintendo's spellings of the name in that particular instance can't be correct. But even if it's not 100% correct, it does provide evidence that "Missing" is separate from "No." and should be capitalized to show that. Think of how some items and moves are spelled in Generation IV that were previously in all caps. SquirtBottle, SolarBeam, DynamicPunch, etc. It's just the most logical way to spell the name. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 15:59, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::Yes, a lot of things do use the camelcase to separate two words, but then [[Pokéwalker]] and [[Pokédex]] come up (there are other examples, but that's off the top of my head).

(resetting indent) But the "Poké" in those words isn't a ''real'' word. Typically, words that being with "Poké" just flow together as a brand new word, without any capitalization other than the "P", like ''Pokémon'', ''Pokédex'', etc. Either that, or the "Poké" is a separate word and is followed by a space, in the case of ''Poké Ball'', etc. But anyway, yes, I know that we can't change the spelling based on opinion, which is why I gave another reason; spelling it "MissingNo." implies that it's "Missing Number", ''not'' "Missingno", as many people think it is. That, and the fact that Nintendo has spelled it "MissingNO" and "MissingNo", in both cases capitalizing the "No." part. —[[User:Tyeforce|Tyeforce]] 14:24, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
:The Nintendo part does however seem unreliable due to the inconsistencies as well as lack of period after MissingNO and MissingNo. This discussion will not be enough to move a page on such a well known topic, especially a featured article, but since an official source decided to separate the two with camelcase, it should be moved. I suggest you take it to the editorial board to see what they think about it.

*Here are my thoughts on the matter ''(and I apologize for the length; go to the bottom for the TL;DR version)'':
:* First of all, Missingno.'s only TRUE official name is "MISSINGNO.", and thus both fan-created lower-cased names--"Missingno." and "MissingNo."--are technically incorrect. As such, if the article MUST be moved, it should be moved to "MISSINGNO." versus "MissingNo."
:* Furthermore, "Missingno." has since become this glitch's proper name to mostly everyone, versus being completely understood to be the abbreviation of "Missing Number" ''(just as "Feraligatr" is understood to be "Ferali-gator" and not "Ferali-gatt-are")''. That is to say, I don't think I've EVER heard anyone refer to it as "Missing Number" but rather as "missing-know". But while I'll admit I haven't heard EVERYONE, even "MissingNo."'s supporters aren't referring to it as "Missing Number" but "MissingNo.", which I feel supports the idea that "Missing-know" has become its proper name.
:* Also consider that spelling it "Missingno." has precedent with other Pokémon names, such as Nidoking, Feraligatr and Farfetch'd, which are referred to by those names, versus by what is "obviously" their "real" names: "Nido King"/"NidoKing", "Feraligator" and "Farfetched"/"Far Fetch'd"/"FarFetched"/etc. The thing is, despite their names being based on two words and/or abbreviated for whatever reason (complete with punctuations), we accept those "incorrect" names as the PROPER NAMES for those Pokémon and spell them with only the first letter capitalized.
:: As such, MISSINGNO.'s proper name is NOT the phrase "Missing Number", it is simply "Missingno.". And just like the apostrophe in Farfecth'd's name which is now part of its identity and not to denote that its "real" name is "Farfetched", the period in Missingno.'s name is likewise simply part of its identity, versus used to denote an abbreviation. ''(Er, well, Missingno.'s name was definitely based on "missing number", just as Farfetch'd's name was based on "far fetched"... I'm not saying that it is. However, it doesn't MEAN "missing number", just as Farfetch'd's name doesn't mean " far fetched", and no one refers to Farfetch'd as "Far Fetched".)''
:* '''TL;DR:''' Missingno.'s ''proper name'' IS 'Missingno." and not "Missing Number" (especially considering few people actually refer to it as "Missing Numver"). Therefore, the article should remain at "Missingno.". But if it MUST be moved, then it should be moved to "MISSINGNO.", which is its true and official name.
:* I hope this adds to the debate, and I expect the Bulbapedia staff to make the best decision..... which is to leave the article as it. :3 -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 19:50, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Also, Nintendo has officially referred to it as MissingNO.

::::::::Well, as it turns out, your "official source" is unreliable, so why should we trust it? First paragraph spells it "MissingNO", second paragraph spells it "MissingNo".

== The article tends to focus too much on one index number of Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow ==

Although variations of glitch Pokémon which use the name "Missingno." do indeed exist in Pokémon Yellow, this does not mean that there is just one [[index number]] of Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow. Different Missingno. in Pokémon Yellow commonly use different sprites, different base stats, different cries and have completely different movesets. Not all "yellow Missingno." are of the 999 type either, I think this article needs rewording to address that problem, its not as if there are 5 distinctive forms of Missingno. there are in fact (39*2) in Red/Blue and Yellow alone, not including different language games. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:33, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

:Its the internal error trap (as Rhydon has an index number of 01) for when the game brings up a new Pokédex entry for an invalid Pokémon. Try capturing it again, so that the "New Pokédex entry" interface doesn't pop up again. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 14:24, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

== Some possibly helpful questions ==

1. It seems the list of characters in a player's name that can trigger Missingno.'s various forms is not exhaustive. Does anyone know what Pokemon would appear when one of those characters is used in the appropriate spot? It might be useful to have this information in the article, even if it's just a simple "having other characters in these positions will not produce Missingno. but, instead, some other Pokemon to appear".

2. The next one is more of a general programming question regarding this comment: ''Due to the limited space in the Game Boy memory, the programmers decided to use the space where data for wild Pokémon found in the grass is stored (which is completely blank in Viridian City; only Surfing and Fishing data is used) to save the player's name temporarily.'' Are there any other circumstances where a player's name has to be stored into this space? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 17:06, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
:1. This page should actually list less of that. That is the [[old man glitch]]. Missingno. is one possible result, so most of this info should be moved there and this to link there as a main article. In addition, Missingno. can be found via the [[Mew glitch]], but this section only explains how it works via the old man glitch. I will fix this after replying.
:2. No, not in Generation I. If there was, that would have been exploited a long time ago. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:52, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
::2. Regarding surfing on land strips, there is another process which could be exploited legitimately, although it is less practical than entering an Old Man battle. It is possible to make a trade within Cinnibar's Lab (as name data is stored within the RAM and recalled after trading) and then surf along any 'coast'. There are several other processes, but realistically unless messing with the RAM itself (e.g. save corruption, select bugs) they would require an external device, e.g. Professor Oak's battle mode used for catching the starter Pikachu and then surfing along a coast without encountering another Pokémon. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:31, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

== Why don't we move it? ==

I mean, MissingNo.'s in-game name really means "Missing Number," it's as if the game's trying to tell you that the Pokémon you're encountering is missing, and it's index number is 0.
All a Pokémon name is is a permanently nicknamed number, for example, [[Mew]]'s index equivalent is 21. The game thinks "21 used (index number of a move)! It's super effective!" but the game translates it to "[[Mew]] used [[Psychic]]! It's super effective!" To recap what I have just said, as you are probably thinking "What is this kid getting at?" what I mean is, MissingNo.'s name is an abbreviated message, not an actual name.
Cheers!

:Missingno. is not index number 000, that is [['M]]. Missingno. has a Pokédex number of 000 ('M does too), but has a large number of different index numbers (see the infobox). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:42, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
@SnorlaxMonster: Enlighten me. Why does MissingNo. revert to Rhydon when certain forms are caught? If Rhydon's index number is 001, MissingNo. has to revert to the next valid index number, 001. That means MissingNo. has to be 000. It's Pokédex number is also 000. 'M could possibly share index 000 with MissingNo. [[User:Alex128|Alex128]] 00:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
::Its only if a glitch Pokémon displays its Pokédex entry upon capture and has an invalid Pokédex number that it reverts to {{p|Rhydon}} (see new [[Rhydon glitch]] article). This is not specific to Yellow Missingno. as many glitch Pokémon have high Pokédex numbers and revert back to Rhydon after their Pokédex entry is registered. Its not possible to have more than one Pokémon with the same index number in the same game. You can have multiple glitch Pokémon with the same Pokédex number or 'family', but not index number. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 02:44, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
::::(conflicted)It is impossible for two Pokémon to be at the same index number in the same game (Pokédex numbers are different). All non-[[hybrid glitch Pokémon]] revert to Rhydon when their Pokédex entry is viewed after being caught, because it has the first valid index number. [[p T]] would also revert to Rhydon, despite clearly not being 00 in any aspect.

== GBA Missingno ==

I've seen videos on youtube demonstrating how to catch missingno in the GBA Pokemon games.
 
 
Here's one of them just to clarify.

 [[User:Pgj1997|Pgj1997]]
:We know about them but refer to them here as [[glitch Pokémon]] rather than Missingno. here please. The name "Missingno." is the error handler used for placeholder/formatted species and only 39 instances used this in the GB/C games (with the other 107 being generic invalid Pokémon). [[? (glitch Pokémon)|?]] is the closest approximation to its function (25 empty spaces), though we still call it ? because that's what the game calls it. [[??????????]] and others are essentially invalid Pokémon (like the past 107 generic glitch Pokémon) but improved error handling techniques dummy out their names. Thanks. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:56, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia And More! ==

For the trivia, couldn't it be stated that Missing No. is the first pokemon to have alternate forms?

Also, should Missing No.'s alternate forms be added to the Form Change page? [[User:Super Glitch-Missing No.|Super Glitch-Missing No.]] 22:42, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Super Glitch-Missing No.
:Possibly, but as long as it is only mentioned on this page
:Absolutely not. The [[form differences]] page is only for true Pokémon. Missingno. would get no more than a trivia mention there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:44, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

So I can add the Forme Differences onto Missing No.'s trivia, but not on the page? And technically, Missing No. is a real pokemon, but not obtained by normal means with some side effects. It is still a pokemon.--[[User:Super Glitch-Missing No.]]
:No, Missingno. is NOT a Pokémon. It's a glitch encountered when a wild Pokémon is encountered in an area where wild Pokémon are not meant to appear. Therefore Missingno. appears because the numerical data (no.) for which Pokémon should appear are missing. Thus the "name" isn't even a name so much as an error message. This argument has been had a number of times on this wiki, and the conclusion has always been that "Glitch Pokémon" are not technically real Pokémon. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 23:29, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

:Yes there are more [[glitch Pokémon]] in [[Generation IV]] exclusive to {{game|Platinum}} and IIRC {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} which normally freeze the game in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, for example see [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f459/d-p-pl-new-glitch-pokemon-50566/#post1274581] but Bulbapedia only have articles about [[-----]], [[Generation IV hybrids]], [[Bad Egg]] and I suppose by that logic we should have Generation IV glitch Egg.

== Not all Glitch Pokémon are MissingNo. ==

I hear people talk about "MissingNo. from Ruby/Sapphire, MissingNo. from Diamond and Pearl, they should all be moved to [[Missingno.]]" The truth is that MissingNo. is a placeholding Glitch Pokémon, and therefore isn't meant to be found.

'''Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!''' (Japanese: '''ポケッチ入手困難！？''' ''Can't Get the Pokétch!?'') is the tenth episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 476th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on November 30, 2006, and in the USA on June 19, 2007.


{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode opens with {{pkmn|Coordinators}} training with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The Narrator then reveals that the group have arrived in [[Jubilife City]], and the {{pkmn|Contest}} is in three days time.

{{an|Dawn}} is leading {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} through the streets while looking at a magazine. Dawn is looking for a [[Pokétch]] shop, and is shocked when Ash asks what one is. Before she can say any more a TV on the side of a building plays an add for the Pokétch, and Ash realizes that he has heard of them. Dawn then shows them some Pokétch information in her magazine, stating that since all top coordinators have one, she needs one as well.

In the store it is revealed that the Pokétch company have recalled all unsold Pokétches. Dawn is upset by this, and ends up walking sadly along the street complaining. Brock suggests they stop for lunch, but Dawn angrily snaps at him, before noticing three clowns, actually [[Team Rocket]] in disguise, giving away Pokétches to a crowd of people. Dawn pushes her way through the crowd. Team Rocket are shocked to see her, but give her a Pokétch anyway. They also insist that Ash and Brock take one as well, even though Ash says that he doesn't want one.

The group is sitting on a park bench and Dawn is admiring her Pokétch. A {{p|Shinx}} then walks up and Ash scans it on his [[Pokédex]], before wondering aloud why it is "barking" so much. [[Landis|A young boy]] walks up and says that it is because the Pokétch is fake. Dawn refuses to believe him, until he runs it under water, smearing the paint. When the group asks how he knew they were fake, he tells them that [[Pokétch Co. President|his father]] would never make one in such a "dumb" color.

Inside the Pokétch factory, Landis's Father apologized for his son's behavior, but the group insist that it should be the people who made the fakes that should apologize. The father then reveals that he had the Pokétches pulled from the stores when he found out about the fakes. Landis then discovers that Dawn is a coordinator, which prompts his father to show them a prototype Pokétch, which has a Friendship Checker. Ash asks him to try it out on him and {{AP|Pikachu}}, and the father is surprised by the reading, stating that it is "almost off the graph". Brock asks if they can try it on his Pokémon and calls out his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}. He then tells Landis and his father that he just caught Croagunk. The father is shocked when the Pokétch shows that Brock and Croagunk are "quite close", which also surprises Brock and Croagunk. Dawn then calls out her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and says that it is her turn, but both Dawn and Piplup are shocked when their friendship is low. The father then assures her that friendship increases as a Pokémon and {{pkmn|Trainer}} spend time together.

Outside the factory that evening the father tells them that Officer Jenny has agreed to judge the contest. Landis then wishes Dawn good luck, but then angers her by stating that she will "need all the luck" that she can get.

At the Pokémon Center that night, Dawn is pacing angrily, complaining about Landis, when Pikachu notices something. The group look out the window and see a large group of Pokémon walking along outside. Back at the factory the father is examining the fake Pokétch, with Landis and Shinx watching. They are all surprised to hear the sound of a {{p|Psyduck}} calling [[Move|an attack]] coming from the Pokétch. They are trying to figure out what the Psyduck is doing, when Shinx gets hypnotized and walks off. Landis notices that Shinx is missing, and both go to try find it. Both groups meet up by the line of Pokémon outside the Pokémon Center. After being told about the Psyduck, Ash asks how a Psyduck got in the Pokétches.

Ash's comment causes a change of scene, showing a Psyduck speaking into a microphone, next to a large metal container. Team Rocket is shown to be controlling the sound, making Psyduck hypnotize Pokémon all over the city. {{MTR}} then tells Psyduck that that is enough, and gives it a basket of fruit. Team rocket thank it as it walks off. They then hide behind the container as the line of hypnotized Pokémon approaches. When the [[Twerps|"twerps"]] run up Team Rocket are surprised to see that Pikachu isn't hypnotized, and that the rest of the group is with it.

Landis spots Shinx in the box, and goes to get it, but a metal door starts to shut the front of the container. Dawn rushes up and grabs Landis out of the way, just before the door slams shut. Dawn and his father ask if he is okay, before Dawn demands to know who is behind the scheme. Team Rocket do their motto on top of their container, before inflating their balloon and jumping in it. Brock realizes that they must have been the ones behind the imitation Pokétches, just as two rocket boosters extend from the side of the container, sending the whole balloon skyward. Piplup and Pikachu prepare for a {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Thunderbolt}} combination, but Meowth launches two arms from the balloon, trapping Pikachu and Piplup inside plastic bubbles. Dawn sends out {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and tells it to use {{m|Ice Beam}}, but the Ice Beam can't quite reach the balloon.

Dawn and Buneary both close their eyes and concentrate, before Dawn tells Buneary to use Ice Beam at full power. This time the Ice Beam reaches the balloon and freezes Team Rocket. It also shorts out the rocket boosters, stopping them. As the balloon starts to fall slowly, Piplup and Pikachu are released and start to fall. Ash sends out {{TP|Ash|Starly}}, telling it to catch Pikachu and Piplup. It swoops in and grabs Piplup, but struggles under the weight, missing Pikachu. Ash runs and dives to try and catch it, but misses and Pikachu hits the ground hard.

As Ash cradles Pikachu the balloon lands, and the Pokémon walk out of the container. Brock realizes that the fall must have snapped them out of their hypnosis, and Landis's father tells the Pokémon to go back to their trainers. Team Rocket then break out of the ice and jump to the ground. They send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}. Carnivine, of course, {{m|Bite|bites}} onto James's head. Team Rocket then order Seviper and Carnivine to use {{m|Poison Tail}} and Bite respectively. Dawn then tells Piplup to use {{m|Peck}} and Buneary to use {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. Seviper and Carnivine are knocked back. Landis's father then tells Shinx to use {{m|Spark}} on Pikachu, which Brock realizes would recharge Pikachu. The two join tails, and then Shinx uses Spark. When Pikachu finishes recharging Meowth extends his claws and Team Rocket and their Pokémon all jump towards Pikachu. Ash orders a Thunderbolt, which sends Team Rocket blasting off.

Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy then arrive, saying that they got there as fast as they could. Brock goes all heart-eyed, and starts to talk with them, but Croagunk {{m|Poison Jab|Poison Jabs}} him and drags him off screen. Landis then thanks Dawn for saving Shinx.

The next Day Dawn shows off her new Pokétch outside the store, before the episode wraps up with the group again at the training ground for the contest.

List of Pokémon by animated series debut

2011-11-05T17:50:13Z

Potatogurl: /* Trivia */

This is a list of Pokémon by the anime episode they debuted in. Please note that Bulbapedia considers the {{pkmn|movie}}s, [[Pikachu short]]s, and [[side stories]] to be separate from the main anime, regardless of their canonicity, and therefore Pokémon like {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, which have not yet appeared in an episode, do not have an episode listed. Similarly, with the exception of {{p|Porygon2}}, appearances in [[eyecatch]]es, [[List of Japanese opening themes|opening]] [[List of English opening themes|themes]], [[List of Japanese ending themes|ending themes]], and other parts of the anime are not included.

==Trivia==
* As of the latest Japanese episode, with the exception of {{p|Porygon2}} and {{p|Porygon-Z}}, the only Pokémon in the National Dex which has not been seen in an episode yet are {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.
**It should be noted that those three Pokémon have had a starring role in a movie.
**The reasoning for Porygon2 and Porygon-Z not appearing in an episode of the anime is because of the [[EP038|Pokémon Shock incident]].

'''Ditty''' (Japanese: '''メタちゃん''' ''Meta-chan'') is one of the [[Pokémon]] owned by {{adv|Green}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

==History==
[[File:Green and Ditto.png|thumb|left|150px|Green and Ditty (as a Pikachu).]]
Ditty first appears in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]''. Besides {{m|Transform|transforming}} into other Pokémon, it can also change into {{cat|items}}, as well as a facial masks to help {{adv|Green}} disguise herself as someone else, such as [[Sabrina]]. In the [[Yellow chapter (Adventures)|Yellow arc]], it disguised itself as Green's right hand which later fell off, tricking [[Lorelei]] to believe that Green's hand had been destroyed with the destruction of her ice doll. It was the only Pokémon of Green that followed {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} to [[Boon Island|Two Island]], where it explained all the happenings to [[Kimberly]].

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into one of [[Eeveelution|seven different Pokémon]] by various methods.
*{{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}
*{{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}
*{{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}
*{{p|Espeon}} when leveled up with high [[happiness]] during the [[time|daytime]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock|Moss]] or [[Ice Rock]])
*{{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high happiness during the [[time|nighttime]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock|Moss]] or [[Ice Rock]])
*{{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward)
*{{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward)

Eevee is the [[starter Pokémon]] for the main character of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is also the starter Pokémon for the rival in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
Eevee has an irregular genetic code and can sometimes evolve in accordance with its environment. Seven evolutions for this Pokémon have been discovered so far. Three of these evolutions are the result of Eevee being exposed to either a Fire Stone, Thunderstone or Water Stone. Two more of the evolutions involve maximum affection with the {{pkmn|Trainer}} and are determined by the time of day. The final two evolutions are the result of training in two specific areas, [[Eterna Forest]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]], and {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} and [[Twist Mountain]].

===Physiology===
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a furry collar that is also cream-colored. It has four short, feline-esque legs with three small toes on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, big ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|Miacid}}s, {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s, and {{wp|cat}}s.

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

===Special abilities===
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are Normal-type attacks such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, but it can also {{m|bite}} its opponents and use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, it is unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other Normal-types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Wish}}. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trump Card}}. Some Eevee have the ability {{a|Adaptability}}, which makes any Normal-type attack that they use become stronger than when used by any other Normal-type Pokémon whose attack power is the same as Eevee's. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon. This code may also shed some light on one of its abilities, {{a|Adaptability}}.

===Behavior===
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks but are usually affectionate, loyal and fairly energetic Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in [[Kanto]], but has been seen in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:May Eevee Egg.png|thumb|220px|right|Eevee {{pkmn|egg}} in the anime]]
[[File:Ursula Eevee.png|250px|thumb|Eevee in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]====
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. The egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', and evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

====[[Gary's Umbreon|Gary's Eevee]]====
Gary's Eevee debuted in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} some time before ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''.

====Other====
Eevee first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older [[Eevee brothers|brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated [[Team Rocket]], Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

[[Sakura]] had an {{TP|Sakura|Eevee}} in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and co. met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

An Eevee appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

Two Eevee appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved during her performance, into a Vaporeon and a Flareon.

===Minor appearances===
[[Ritchie]] consulted {{an|Professor Oak}} on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns an Eevee in the Japanese version.

An Eevee was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mikey Eevee.png|thumb|right|Mikey's Eevee in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Mikey]] owns an Eevee in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Coconut's Eevee}}
An Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. This Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Vee}}
An [[Vee|Eevee]] is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Zapmolcuno|a single Pokémon]]. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though it still requires the energies of an [[Evolutionary Stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]]. When it evolved into [[Vee|Espeon]], however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]], during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}, which she used to fight {{Adv|Green}}.

==In the TFG==
One Eevee figure has been released.

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Eevee|10}}

==Other appearances==

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Eevee was originally going to be called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee. This in turn is a shortening of "evolution".
* The fanmade term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* Eevee and its [[evolution]]s all have a [[catch rate]] of 45.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Eevee's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Alomomola}}.
* Eevee and {{p|Tyrogue}} are the only Pokémon that can [[List of Pokémon with branched evolutions|evolve into more than two Pokémon]], if {{p|Wormadam}}'s alternate forms are not counted as separate Pokémon.
* Eevee is one of only three Pokémon with two non-hidden abilities that evolves into a Pokémon with only one non-hidden ability. The other two are {{p|Trapinch}} and {{p|Sneasel}}.
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}} and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* During Generation I, Eevee was the only Pokémon that could evolve into more than one species. With the release of other branched evolutions in Generation II, its distinction is the number of Pokémon which it can evolve into.
* {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} are the only main series games where Eevee are found in the wild.
* All of Eevee's evolutions so far have had their elemental type be one whose moves were formerly governed solely by the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat. The only formerly all-special elemental type not covered is {{t|Dragon}}.
* Eevee is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Azurill}}.
* Eevee and {{p|Feebas}} are the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the [[version|main series]]. Feebas can evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] or when traded while holding the [[Prism Scale]]; Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with maximum [[happiness]] during the day or night, respectively, or via [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]], respectively.
** However, some Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, including four of Eevee's evolutions.
* It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since the region has neither an Ice nor a Moss Rock.

===Origin===
Eevee shares traits with {{wp|fox}}es, more specifically the {{wp|Fennec fox}}, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s. It is possibly based on the folklore of {{wp|Tanuki}}, who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Miacoidea}}, an extinct {{wp|Paraphyly|paraphyletic}} {{wp|Superfamily (zoology)|superfamily}} that has been traditionally divided into two families of carnivores.

It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the fox's ability to adapt to extreme environments, like the {{wp|Fennec Fox|desert fox}} and the {{wp|arctic fox}}.

====Name origin====
Eevee's name is a pronunciation of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} have finally arrived at [[Chocovine Town]], the site of Dawn's next [[Pokémon Contest]]. As they explore the harbor, Dawn notices a stand selling all kinds of {{p|Phione}} merchandise and begins hugging one of the Phione dolls. The man in charge of the stand informs the gang that Phione bring good luck to those who spot them and about Phione watching, where tourists can take a ride on a submarine and hopefully see the Phione up close. He mentions that every {{pkmn|Coordinator}} that visited Chocovine and saw a Phione won the Contest they entered. Ash, Brock, and Dawn all decide to try their luck on finding the Phione. Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she plans on using in her Contest which she responds with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. This discourages {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, but she assures Piplup that the other Pokémon look up to him and he should cheer them on.

That night, the gang head over to a submarine to go Phione watching, not knowing that it's being organized by [[Team Rocket]]. As they prepare to set off, [[James]] questions the consequences if they are unable to find any Phione. [[Jessie]] tells him that if they can't find any, then they'll just put {{MTR}} in the water disguised as a Phione, which terrifies Meowth. As the gang and other tourists observe the aquatic life a trio of Phione rush past their submarine. The three of them begin swimming around the ship as the tourists praise them for bringing good luck. Team Rocket is also overjoyed at the chance of finding the Phione as Jessie unrolls a long list of things that she wants. The Phione denies her list of requests and simply sticks its tongue out at Team Rocket. As the trio continue showing off for the tourists, one of them takes a liking to Dawn's Buneary. Jessie then comes up with a plan of capturing a Phione and giving it to the boss to bring him good luck, hoping to get some good luck in return. The submarine returns to shore and as everyone begins to head home, the Phione from before surfaces already missing Buneary. Its friends call it back to the water when they notice how sad their friend seems that Buneary is gone. In its moment of sadness, Team Rocket appears and captures Phione in a net.

The next morning, Ash and the gang are doing their morning exercises when Ash then decides that it's time to train for his [[Snowpoint City]] Gym battle. Dawn then requests to do some shopping before training and promises that she wouldn't take long. Team Rocket is then seen sitting in the park admiring their successful capture of Phione when Jessie decides to let it swim in the fountain for a little while. They decide it's time to go, but Phione slips and slides from their clutches and uses {{m|Acid Armor}} to escape into the town's water system. Phione then travels across town through sinks and other types of plumbing in search of Buneary, even startling the [[Pokémon Center]]'s {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}, who was washing her hands at the moment. It finally spots them as they are on their way to the store and loses track of them when they get on a bus. Phione was disappointed for a moment until Team Rocket spotted it and gave chase. Phione freezes them with {{m|Ice Beam}}, giving it enough time to escape. Meanwhile, Dawn is browsing through the store's supply of [[seals]], leaving Brock, Pikachu, and Ash to carry all her bags. She tells them that she's finished shopping and they can spend the rest of their time training.

The three head down to the beach and Dawn begins training Pachirisu for the Contest when Phione appears out of the water. It rushes over to Buneary and invites Buneary to come with it. Piplup walks over and happily greets Phione by shaking its fin, which Phione responds by freezing Piplup with an Ice Beam. Team Rocket's submarine appears from the water, and they tell Phione to return to them. Phione backs away from them and notices Buneary latched onto Pikachu. As Meowth translates, Phione, enraged with envy, challenges the perplexed Pikachu to a battle and the winner keeps Buneary for themselves. Pikachu protests, rejecting Phione's offer which only upsets it even more. Buneary puts herself in-between Pikachu and Phione. She declares to Phione that if it likes her, it should be battling her instead. If Phione wins, she'll go on a date with it down by the ocean side. Phione happily agrees and the two begin battling down on the beach.

For a few moments, both combatants try to see who's making the first move. Buneary does, rushing forward with {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. Phione uses {{m|Double Team}}, but Buneary continues by just going through all of them. Phione uses {{m|Supersonic}}, which Buneary dodges with {{m|Bounce}} and when she comes down aimed at Phione, Phione rushes into the ocean and vanishes with Acid Armor. The surprised Buneary can't find Phione, who then leaps high up into the air and uses Supersonic. It hits and Buneary gets {{status|Confusion|confused}}, skipping down the beach in the opposite direction. Piplup jumps down from Dawn's head to help Buneary shake it off. Buneary turns around and goes toward Phione, who lands and fires an Ice Beam, but Buneary just happens to hop right then, missing her and freezing Piplup again (to Dawn's dismay). He manages to break out of it, giving enough time for Buneary's confusion to wear off. Buneary uses Ice Beam, countered by Phione's Ice Beam and as a chunk of ice grows bigger and bigger where the attacks meet, both try to outlast each other. The ice gets so big that they can't see each other, and Phione winces from the power drain. Just then, Buneary soars over the ice from Bounce with a flying kick, and Phione has only enough time to look up in surprise before her foot connects with its head. Phione ends up flat on its back, [[fainting|knocked out]].

Brock goes over to make sure Phione is okay, and tells it that it shouldn't battle anymore (to avoid injury from wearing itself out). Phione, heartbroken, goes over and tells Buneary goodbye, and heads back to the sea. Jessie then claims that just because Phione has personal problems, that it's not getting away from them again. Buneary and Pikachu jump in front of Phione to defend it from Team Rocket. Buneary and Phione freeze Team Rocket with a double Ice Beam, and Pikachu sends them blasting off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With Team Rocket gone, Phione heads back to its aquatic home, disappointed at its loss of Buneary, when Buneary calls out to it. Dawn realizes that Buneary hopes to see Phione again and have another battle. Phione then is overjoyed and waves goodbye to its new friends when its fellow Phione appear to welcome it back home. The episode ends with Team Rocket floating in their iceberg complaining that Phione brought them no good luck at all.

* Music from ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' is used as background music.
* The dub title for this episode is a reference to the phrase "hold the phone".
* This episode is the second episode when a genderless Pokémon falls in love with a main character's Pokémon. The first time was in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''.
* In the scene where the {{p|Chansey}} is washing her hands, the faucet comes down from a unit mounted on the wall. This is a water heater, and is a common way to provide hot water in Asian countries, rather than using a central hot water heater system. They usually run on electricity and only need to be turned on to get hot water for sinks and showers.
* Like ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'' is preformed and not removed from the dub.

[[File:Jessie Uniform error.png|thumb|right|The error]]
=== Errors ===
* During the [[Team Rocket's motto]] Jessie's "R" on the shirt is painted orange during her third line of the motto.

===Dub edits===
*While in the Japanese version Team Rocket used a variation of the [[Team Rocket's motto|their motto]], in the dub, the regular motto is used.
**In the European Portuguese dub a variation of the Team Rocket's motto is used, reflecting the events of the episode.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Dawn}} have finally arrived at [[Chocovine Town]], the site of Dawn's next [[Pokémon Contest]]. As they explore the harbor, Dawn notices a stand selling all kinds of {{p|Phione}} merchandise and begins hugging one of the Phione dolls. The man in charge of the stand informs the gang that Phione bring good luck to those who spot them and about Phione watching, where tourists can take a ride on a submarine and hopefully see the Phione up close. He mentions that every {{pkmn|Coordinator}} that visited Chocovine and saw a Phione won the Contest they entered. Ash, Brock, and Dawn all decide to try their luck on finding the Phione. Ash asks Dawn which Pokémon she plans on using in her Contest which she responds with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. This discourages {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, but she assures Piplup that the other Pokémon look up to him and he should cheer them on.

That night, the gang head over to a submarine to go Phione watching, not knowing that it's being organized by [[Team Rocket]]. As they prepare to set off, [[James]] questions the consequences if they are unable to find any Phione. [[Jessie]] tells him that if they can't find any, then they'll just put {{MTR}} in the water disguised as a Phione, which terrifies Meowth. As the gang and other tourists observe the aquatic life a trio of Phione rush past their submarine. The three of them begin swimming around the ship as the tourists praise them for bringing good luck. Team Rocket is also overjoyed at the chance of finding the Phione as Jessie unrolls a long list of things that she wants. The Phione denies her list of requests and simply sticks its tongue out at Team Rocket. As the trio continue showing off for the tourists, one of them takes a liking to Dawn's Buneary. Jessie then comes up with a plan of capturing a Phione and giving it to the boss to bring him good luck, hoping to get some good luck in return. The submarine returns to shore and as everyone begins to head home, the Phione from before surfaces already missing Buneary. Its friends call it back to the water when they notice how sad their friend seems that Buneary is gone. In its moment of sadness, Team Rocket appears and captures Phione in a net.

The next morning, Ash and the gang are doing their morning exercises when Ash then decides that it's time to train for his [[Snowpoint City]] Gym battle. Dawn then requests to do some shopping before training and promises that she wouldn't take long. Team Rocket is then seen sitting in the park admiring their successful capture of Phione when Jessie decides to let it swim in the fountain for a little while. They decide it's time to go, but Phione slips and slides from their clutches and uses {{m|Acid Armor}} to escape into the town's water system. Phione then travels across town through sinks and other types of plumbing in search of Buneary, even startling the [[Pokémon Center]]'s {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}, who was washing her hands at the moment. It finally spots them as they are on their way to the store and loses track of them when they get on a bus. Phione was disappointed for a moment until Team Rocket spotted it and gave chase. Phione freezes them with {{m|Ice Beam}}, giving it enough time to escape. Meanwhile, Dawn is browsing through the store's supply of [[seals]], leaving Brock, Pikachu, and Ash to carry all her bags. She tells them that she's finished shopping and they can spend the rest of their time training.

The three head down to the beach and Dawn begins training Pachirisu for the Contest when Phione appears out of the water. It rushes over to Buneary and invites Buneary to come with it. Piplup walks over and happily greets Phione by shaking its fin, which Phione responds by freezing Piplup with an Ice Beam. Team Rocket's submarine appears from the water, and they tell Phione to return to them. Phione backs away from them and notices Buneary latched onto Pikachu. As Meowth translates, Phione, enraged with envy, challenges the perplexed Pikachu to a battle and the winner keeps Buneary for themselves. Pikachu protests, rejecting Phione's offer which only upsets it even more. Buneary puts herself in-between Pikachu and Phione. She declares to Phione that if it likes her, it should be battling her instead. If Phione wins, she'll go on a date with it down by the ocean side. Phione happily agrees and the two begin battling down on the beach.

For a few moments, both combatants try to see who's making the first move. Buneary does, rushing forward with {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. Phione uses {{m|Double Team}}, but Buneary continues by just going through all of them. Phione uses {{m|Supersonic}}, which Buneary dodges with {{m|Bounce}} and when she comes down aimed at Phione, Phione rushes into the ocean and vanishes with Acid Armor. The surprised Buneary can't find Phione, who then leaps high up into the air and uses Supersonic. It hits and Buneary gets {{status|Confusion|confused}}, skipping down the beach in the opposite direction. Piplup jumps down from Dawn's head to help Buneary shake it off. Buneary turns around and goes toward Phione, who lands and fires an Ice Beam, but Buneary just happens to hop right then, missing her and freezing Piplup again (to Dawn's dismay). He manages to break out of it, giving enough time for Buneary's confusion to wear off. Buneary uses Ice Beam, countered by Phione's Ice Beam and as a chunk of ice grows bigger and bigger where the attacks meet, both try to outlast each other. The ice gets so big that they can't see each other, and Phione winces from the power drain. Just then, Buneary soars over the ice from Bounce with a flying kick, and Phione has only enough time to look up in surprise before her foot connects with its head. Phione ends up flat on its back, [[fainting|knocked out]].

Brock goes over to make sure Phione is okay, and tells it that it shouldn't battle anymore (to avoid injury from wearing itself out). Phione, heartbroken, goes over and tells Buneary goodbye, and heads back to the sea. Jessie then claims that just because Phione has personal problems, that it's not getting away from them again. Buneary and Pikachu jump in front of Phione to defend it from Team Rocket. Buneary and Phione freeze Team Rocket with a double Ice Beam, and Pikachu sends them blasting off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With Team Rocket gone, Phione heads back to its aquatic home, disappointed at its loss of Buneary, when Buneary calls out to it. Dawn realizes that Buneary hopes to see Phione again and have another battle. Phione then is overjoyed and waves goodbye to its new friends when its fellow Phione appear to welcome it back home. The episode ends with Team Rocket floating in their iceberg complaining that Phione brought them no good luck at all.

* Music from ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' is used as background music.
* The dub title for this episode is a reference to the phrase "hold the phone".
* This episode is the second episode when a genderless Pokémon falls in love with a main character's Pokémon. The first time was in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''.
* In the scene where the {{p|Chansey}} is washing her hands, the faucet comes down from a unit mounted on the wall. This is a water heater, and is a common way to provide hot water in Asian countries, rather than using a central hot water heater system. They usually run on electricity and only need to be turned on to get hot water for sinks and showers.
* Like "[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]", an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'' is preformed and not removed from the dub.

[[File:Jessie Uniform error.png|thumb|right|The error]]
=== Errors ===
* During the [[Team Rocket's motto]] Jessie's "R" on the shirt is painted orange during her third line of the motto.

===Dub edits===
*While in the Japanese version Team Rocket used a variation of the [[Team Rocket's motto|their motto]], in the dub, the regular motto is used.
**In the European Portuguese dub a variation of the Team Rocket's motto is used, reflecting the events of the episode.

'''The Bicker the Better''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル！サトシVSハルカ！？''' ''Tag Battle! {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} VS {{tt|Haruka|May}}!?'') is the 72nd episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 347th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 15, 2004 and in the United States on April 2, 2005.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] step outside the [[Pokémon Center]], ready to depart to [[Fortree City]]. However, {{AP|Pikachu}} warns the group that {{an|May}} isn’t ready yet. Ash goes back inside, finding her just finishing up packing. Still, he scolds May for being too slow, and pushes her out of the center. She stops in front of a mirror, further irritating Ash. May states that its normal to do so, but Ash doesn’t, shocking May. When Ash responds that he isn’t a girl, May condescends him, making Ash even more angry.

As the group walks, Ash and May rant about each other, setting off a direct argument, while the others watch. The group runs into the couple [[Oscar and Andi]], challenging Ash and May to a tag battle, proclaiming the two a [[AdvanceShipping|couple]]. Although both deny the couple connection, Ash and May accept the challenge.

Oscar summons {{p|Nidoking}} while Andi summons {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Ash summons {{AP|Corphish}}. However, May’s pondering for her choice irritates Ash. After deciding, she chooses Skitty. Unfortunately, Corphish and Skitty are unable to work together, canceling each others attacks. Oscar and Andi pull the win when Corphish and Skitty are both hit with {{m|DynamicPunch}} from both Nidoking and Nidoqueen. Ash and May are left bickering.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are sulking about their lack of progress when Oscar and Andi run into them, challenging Jessie and James to the same match as Ash and May. James uses {{TP|James|Cacnea}} while Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Seviper ends up attacking Cacnea, causing Jessie and James to argue, allowing Oscar and Andi to take the win with dual Hyper Beam attacks, sending Team Rocket flying.

Ash and May are still fighting about the loss, blaming each other, while Max and Brock watch. Jessie and James are also bickering. The two arguing groups cross paths, and another tag battle ensures. James teams up with Ash while Jessie takes May. Although Ash and May are hesitant to fight, they decide to accept. The teams use the same Pokémon used in the previous tag battles.

Corphish and Cacnea work better together than Seviper and Skitty, shifting the battle to James and Ash. Jessie starts to get angry at the thought of losing, so she summons {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. The guys protest at her breaking the rules, but she doesn’t care. The battle quickly grows out of control when attacks start to fly undirected. Brock declares the women disqualified, but it is meaningless.

While the battle rages on, Meowth and the others watch from behind cover. Meowth realizes that the chaos could allow them to snatch Pikachu, so he manages to stop Jessie and James from fighting long enough to realize it. They create diversionary attacks with Seviper’s Haze and Cacnea’s Sandstorm, allowing Meowth to snag Pikachu in a net.

Team Rocket tries to run, but May’s Skitty uses Assist-turned-String Shot to stop Team Rocket. Corphish protects Skitty from Seviper, rebuilding the trust between Ash and May, allowing them to work together to free Pikachu and send Team Rocket flying as usual. Ash and May apologize to each other, and the fight ends.

* {{p|Nidoqueen}} ([[Oscar and Andi|Andi]]'s)

==Trivia==
* This episode wasn't aired in some countries due to the fact that the episode was regarded as a "battle of the sexes".
* The episode's dub title is a pun on the phrase "the bigger the better".
* Blaziken is also legally correct on the Pokémon Trainer's Choice because Ariados is half {{t|Bug}} type and {{t|Fire}} moves are effective.

===Errors===
* {{p|Onix}} is misspelled as ''Onyx'' in the Pokémon Trainer's Choice for this episode.
* Ash's [[EP108|double battle]] with [[Luana]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] is not mentioned, despite it being the first official double battle in the series. Ash and {{an|Brock}}'s tag battle in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' is also disregarded.
* When May checks her Pokédex on Andi's Nidoqueen, she is wearing Ash's gloves.
* Jessie commands Dustox to use Pin Missile instead of Poison Sting.
* During Ash and May's argument, May's left hand disappears.
* Brock says that, according to the rules of Pokémon battles, no Trainer is allowed to use more than one Pokémon in any battle. This is, of course, not true. He may have meant "in any '''single battle'''", which was the norm back in Generations I and II.

[[File:AG072 deleted scene.png|thumb|right|200px|Shot that wasn't shown outside of Japan]]

===Pokémon Trainer's Choice===
* Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Ariados}}?
* Choices: {{p|Raichu}}, {{tt|{{p|Onix|Onyx}}|spelling error}}, {{p|Blaziken}}
* Answer: Ok, Trainers! If you chose {{tt|{{p|Onix|Onyx}}|spelling error}}, you were {{tt|right|as mentioned above, Blaziken would also be a correct answer}}!

===Dub edits===
* There is a 2 second shot of Jessie performing an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'', which involves pulling her eyelid down and sticking out her tongue at the same time. Like in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'' and ''[[EP006|Clefairy And The Moon Stone]]'', this was cut from the dub. This is mainly because it was a common action in Japan, but not outside Japan (especially US). However, other episodes featuring akanbe [[EP046|before]] and [[DP113|after]] this and AG002 had no such edits.

* Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Ariados}}?
* Choices: {{p|Raichu}}, {{tt|{{p|Onix|Onyx}}|spelling error}}, {{p|Blaziken}}
* Answer: Ok, Trainers! If you chose {{tt|{{p|Onix|Onyx}}|spelling error}}, you were {{tt|right|as mentioned above, Blaziken would also be a correct answer}}!

===Dub edits===
* There is a 2 second shot of Jessie performing an ''{{wp|akanbe}}'', which involves pulling her eyelid down and sticking out her tongue at the same time. Like in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'' and "[[EP006|Clefairy And The Moon Stone]]", this was cut from the dub. This is mainly because it was a common action in Japan, but not outside Japan (especially US). However, other episodes featuring akanbe [[EP046|before]] and [[DP113|after]] this and AG002 had no such edits.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] step outside the [[Pokémon Center]], ready to depart to [[Fortree City]]. However, {{AP|Pikachu}} warns the group that {{an|May}} isn’t ready yet. Ash goes back inside, finding her just finishing up packing. Still, he scolds May for being too slow, and pushes her out of the center. She stops in front of a mirror, further irritating Ash. May states that its normal to do so, but Ash doesn’t, shocking May. When Ash responds that he isn’t a girl, May condescends him, making Ash even more angry.

As the group walks, Ash and May rant about each other, setting off a direct argument, while the others watch. The group runs into the couple [[Oscar and Andi]], challenging Ash and May to a tag battle, proclaiming the two a [[AdvanceShipping|couple]]. Although both deny the couple connection, Ash and May accept the challenge.

Oscar summons {{p|Nidoking}} while Andi summons {{p|Nidoqueen}}. Ash summons {{AP|Corphish}}. However, May’s pondering for her choice irritates Ash. After deciding, she chooses Skitty. Unfortunately, Corphish and Skitty are unable to work together, canceling each others attacks. Oscar and Andi pull the win when Corphish and Skitty are both hit with {{m|DynamicPunch}} from both Nidoking and Nidoqueen. Ash and May are left bickering.

[[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are sulking about their lack of progress when Oscar and Andi run into them, challenging Jessie and James to the same match as Ash and May. James uses {{TP|James|Cacnea}} while Jessie uses {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Seviper ends up attacking Cacnea, causing Jessie and James to argue, allowing Oscar and Andi to take the win with dual Hyper Beam attacks, sending Team Rocket flying.

Ash and May are still fighting about the loss, blaming each other, while Max and Brock watch. Jessie and James are also bickering. The two arguing groups cross paths, and another tag battle ensures. James teams up with Ash while Jessie takes May. Although Ash and May are hesitant to fight, they decide to accept. The teams use the same Pokémon used in the previous tag battles.

Corphish and Cacnea work better together than Seviper and Skitty, shifting the battle to James and Ash. Jessie starts to get angry at the thought of losing, so she summons {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. The guys protest at her breaking the rules, but she doesn’t care. The battle quickly grows out of control when attacks start to fly undirected. Brock declares the women disqualified, but it is meaningless.

While the battle rages on, Meowth and the others watch from behind cover. Meowth realizes that the chaos could allow them to snatch Pikachu, so he manages to stop Jessie and James from fighting long enough to realize it. They create diversionary attacks with Seviper’s Haze and Cacnea’s Sandstorm, allowing Meowth to snag Pikachu in a net.

Team Rocket tries to run, but May’s Skitty uses Assist-turned-String Shot to stop Team Rocket. Corphish protects Skitty from Seviper, rebuilding the trust between Ash and May, allowing them to work together to free Pikachu and send Team Rocket flying as usual. Ash and May apologize to each other, and the fight ends.

==Trivia==
* This episode wasn't aired in some countries due to the fact that the episode was regarded as a "battle of the sexes".
* The episode's dub title is a pun on the phrase "the bigger the better".
* Blaziken is also legally correct on the Pokémon Trainer's Choice because Ariados is half {{t|Bug}} type and {{t|Fire}} moves are effective.

===Errors===
* {{p|Onix}} is misspelled as ''Onyx'' in the Pokémon Trainer's Choice for this episode.
* Ash's [[EP108|double battle]] with [[Luana]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]] is not mentioned, despite it being the first official double battle in the series. Ash and {{an|Brock}}'s tag battle in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' is also disregarded.
* When May checks her Pokédex on Andi's Nidoqueen, she is wearing Ash's gloves.
* Jessie commands Dustox to use Pin Missile instead of Poison Sting.
* During Ash and May's argument, May's left hand disappears.
* Brock says that, according to the rules of Pokémon battles, no Trainer is allowed to use more than one Pokémon in any battle. This is, of course, not true. He may have meant "in any '''single battle'''", which was the norm back in Generations I and II.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} have reached [[Celadon City]], renowned for the skyscrapers filling the city. Everyone but Ash notice a wonderful smell in the air as {{an|Brock}} runs off. Ash finds him with his face against a store window, noticing several girls inside. Ash thinks Brock is wasting time and proceeds to leave, but {{an|Misty}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} are not around. Brock points inside as Ash looks. Misty and Pikachu are inside the perfume store admiring the variety of aromas. Misty asks about how much it will cost, but Ash steps inside and urges her not to waste her money. The [[Erika|female manager]] confronts Ash about his negative claim, but Ash pushes it further by saying all perfumes are a waste and turn guys into zombies, pointing to Brock. Everyone in the store is against Ash about his remark, even his own friends, as they kick him out. Ash storms away and heads to the [[Celadon Gym]], but when he tries to enter, none of the Trainers are willing to let him in. They know about his perfume distaste since the perfume originates from the [[Gym]]. The lead Trainer plants a red cross stamp on Ash’s face before kicking him out and closing the doors.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] sets up a latter to sneak into the Gym and steal the perfume formula. They explore the interior forest as [[Jessie]] runs into a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}}. [[James]] waves at Gloom’s face, waking it up. James sends out his {{TP|James|Koffing}} to launch {{m|Poison Gas}}, but Gloom is unaffected by the attack, breathing it as if it were fresh air. Gloom responds by releasing its stench, the putrid smell instantly knocking out Team Rocket. {{MTR}} is unaffected since he does not have a nose, but the Trainers knock Meowth out with a hammer before planting red cross marks on all three of them, taking them outside and suspending them from a tree branch.

Ash runs into Team Rocket tied up in the tree. James asks Ash to free them, but Jessie refuses at first. She then decides to taunt Ash for not getting into the Gym. Jessie offers to help Ash get inside the Gym if he releases them. Though reluctant at first, Ash does not want to pass up the opportunity to get the [[badge]]. They go to the department store and Team Rocket dresses Ash up in a dress and a blonde wig. Ash speaks about wanting to get back at the Trainers, but Team Rocket subtly point out that Ash needs to change his voice. Ash coughs and speaks again in a high-pitched voice, setting up his disguise.

Jessie and James dress up as Ash’s parents and go to the Gym to enroll Ash in the [[Pokémon training]] classes under the name [[Ashley]]. Ash notices that the girl registering him into the class was the same one he saw at the store, but the disguise holds and he is successfully admitted. Team Rocket runs off to find the secret perfume formula while Ash unintentionally distracts the Trainers. Meowth, hiding under James’s disguise, pulls out a blaster ball, asking what to do with it, and Jessie orders Meowth to plant it.

The Gym Trainers work out with their {{t|Grass}} Pokémon while Erika finishes telling a story to the group. Ash enters the room and finds Misty and Brock in the group. Ash finds out that Erika is not only the Gym leader, but she is also the store manager that kicked him out. Brock steps forward to introduce the seemingly shy Ashley as Ash notices Pikachu in the group as well. Misty asks Erika why Gloom does not emit its horrible smell. Erika points out that as long as Gloom feels safe, it will not smell. Erika recounts on how she first met Gloom when she was a child and ran into a wild {{p|Grimer}}. Gloom came by and used its stench to send Grimer scurrying. As Erika finishes the story, Misty wishes that Ash could have heard the story. Ash responds in his normal voice, raising suspicion as Misty takes a closer look at Ash. Pikachu gets closer and easily makes Ash, hugging his leg before {{m|ThunderShock|shocking}} him, breaking the disguise. Ash drops the facade and challenges Erika to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Meanwhile, Team Rocket breaks into the safe holding the perfume.

Erika accepts the challenge and sets up a three-on-three battle. Ash sends out {{AP|Bulbasaur}} while Erika sends out {{p|Tangela}}, which prompts Ash to check his [[Pokédex]]. Bulbasaur attacks with {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Tangela uses {{m|Constrict}} to pull Bulbasaur closer before following up with {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} Bulbasaur. Ash recalls Bulbasaur and Erika offers to treat it with {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Paralyz Heal}}, but he refuses and considers using {{AP|Primeape}}, but knowing how unruly the Pokémon is, he changes his mind and sends out {{AP|Charmander}}. Erika sends out {{p|Weepinbell}} and opens with a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack. Charmander uses {{m|Flamethrower}} to stop the attack and send it back as fireballs. Charmander uses {{m|Skull Bash}} to [[fainting|knock out]] Weepinbell. Erika points out Ash’s lack of empathy towards his Pokémon as she sends out Gloom. It releases its stench and upon smelling it, Charmander jumps into the air, holding its nose before fainting. Ash tries to decide between his other Pokémon on who should go, but Pikachu steps forward and offers to battle. Ash is not optimistic, but Pikachu is confident that it will win.

Team Rocket interrupts the battle and jumps down to the battlefield. Meowth detonates the blaster bomb, which is still on Meowth, sending them blasting off, but they manage to escape with the perfume. The bomb starts a massive fire as the Trainers quickly recall their Pokémon. Everyone gets outside as the fire grows out of control and threatens to destroy the Gym. Everyone tries to put the fire out, but the attempts are not very effective. Ash feels guilty that he allowed Team Rocket inside, but Misty snaps him out of it. He sends {{AP|Squirtle}} while Misty sends out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to fire {{m|Water Gun}} at the fire. Brock sends {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} to drop dirt on the flames. As they begin to get a hold on the fire, Erika runs around, frantic because she cannot find Gloom. She thinks Gloom is still inside and attempts to run in, but Misty stops her. Ash runs in instead. He finds Gloom scared, but as he approaches, Gloom releases its smell. The ceiling begins to cave in around Gloom. Ash takes a chance and holds his breath as he rushes into the room. He gets up to Gloom, but can no longer hold his breath as he takes a breath, but he finds no smell because he remembers the story that Gloom will not stink if it feels safe.

Ash runs out of the burning Gym with Gloom in hand as everyone congratulates Ash for his bravery. The next day, Erika presents the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash because he saved Gloom. Ash points out the lost potion, but Erika points out that the bottle held Gloom's scent. Meanwhile, Team Rocket opens the bottle, the contents knocking them out. Ash now has five badges and they move on to the next town.

==Major events==
* Ash battles [[Erika]], but is disrupted by [[Team Rocket]].
*{{Ash}}'s {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} is revealed to know {{m|Skull Bash}}.
* Ash earns the {{Badge|Rainbow}} from Erika as a thanks for saving her {{p|Gloom}} from the fire.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ashley.png|thumb|right|Ash as "Ashley"|100px]]
* With the help of [[Team Rocket]], Ash [[Ashley|crossdresses]] to get into [[Celadon Gym]]. This marks the first time Ash crossdresses. He does it again in ''[[AG042|Love at First Flight]]'' and ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.
* [[Jessie]]'s method of using her legs to persuade [[James]] to go along with her plan may be a reference to a similar technique used by {{wp|Xenia Onatopp}} in the 17th James Bond film, ''{{wp|GoldenEye}}''; and a technique Jessie repeats in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.
* In the episode, Meowth mentions that the cartoonists forgot to give him a nose, [[breaking the fourth wall]]. However, this was only in the [[dub]].
* This episode was banned in South Korea.
* In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' Brock states that as a gym leader he has to accept all challenges but in this episode Ash is denied entry into the gym - which is ironic as later in the episode Erika even says she has to accept all challenges - so it's possible that the women at the door were acting on their own.
*When the fire in the gym starts a voice like Ash's can be heard saying "We [[Gotta catch 'em all!|gotta catch 'em all]]".

===Errors===
* When Erika finishes telling the story about Omanyte, a miniature Victreebel is seen next to Gloom and Tangela (only slightly taller than the two of them).

===Dub edits===
*Most of the scenes involving the perfume shop had kanji removed from them.
*Erika's explanation towards what perfume was different between the two versions. The English version resembled a kind of cheer, while the Japanese version mentioned that perfume helps people relax, gives them energy, and gives them a peace of mind.
*The Cleopatra reference was dub only.
*The scene setting up the gag involving Meowth's lacking a nose was played out slightly differently between the two versions. In the Japanese version, Meowth was reacting along with everyone else about the smell, but then Jessie mentions "hana" (as in, "flower"), which by that point Meowth thinks about his own nose because ''hana'' means both "nose" and "flower" in Japanese. He then starts freaking out until he realizes that he doesn't have a nose. In the English dub, Meowth is complaining about his nose being on fire. Then Jessie reminds Meowth that he doesn't even have a nose, thus causing Meowth to panic about his nose "being dissolved by the fumes". He soon realizes that the "cartoonists never gave him one". Presumably, this was done due to this being an untranslatable joke.
**On a related note, Meowth's line of the [[breaking the fourth wall|cartoonists never giving him one]] was dub only.
*The department store had some banners removed as well as some kanji.
*The bombs are called "blaster balls" in the dub.
*The line about Erika having to accept challenges from Gym Leaders due to League rules was dub only.

Talk:Shipping

Potatogurl: /* IkariShipping? */

==Dump qustion==
Is caild shiping when it's none Pokemon? Like Lufy and Nami from One Peace--[[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 23:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, shipping is pretty much a universal term that is not exclusive to Pokémon. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 02:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.--[[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 18:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, like Inuyusha and Kagome. (no, I don't watch that show, I just heard about them.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight_the_ampharos]] 20:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

==Link==
Does any one else think that on the Characters page (for example, on Mistys page include a link to Pokeshipping)?--{{Ani|336}}[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|'''Darth''']]{{Ani|157}}[[User talk:Darth Cookie Monster|'''Cookie''']]{{Ani|168}}[[User:Darth Cookie Monster/Trade with Me|'''Monster''']]{{Ani|141}} 00:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::No, no. Shippings are just (highly agreed on) fan assumptions, such as GSDS or that Ash is gonna catch a Hippopotas. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 01:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Why not? It makes sense, since there is plenty of speculation already, why not at least offer a link to the appropriate shippy section?

Whether or not people consider right or wrong, it should still be allowed on the site. This is a Pokémon encyclopedia after all. If shipping in general is part of this encyclopedia, then homosexual ships should be included as well to make the site as complete as it can be. Just because some people find it offensive is no reason to remove it ({{p|Jynx|though it does happen...}}). Some people find shipping in general to be offensive, while some disagree with having spoilers of things that have only been shown in Japan at the time. These aren't going to be removed, so why should this? {{Unsigned|Hyper Turtwig}}

While I'm definately not immersed in the shipping scene, I do notice a few trends that don't have articles yet, like Ash's Chikorita/Bayleef having her obsession over Ash, it's probably as significant as the Latias one. The side of me that likes to add articles started kicking in, but really, what does one do, just make an article and make up a name for the shipping?

::Popularity is found within the voice of fans and not always the fanwork that goes with it. Kenji's correct: I want a mixed list that simply isn't all Ash (which is why Boulder isn't there, even though I'm a fan and I know it has a moderate following). The lack of a Misty 'ship is due to her not being currently present in the group, coupled with not having an alternate, non-Ash 'ship that has the following of Contestshipping (no, Orange doesn't compare; if she did, it wouldn't matter that she's gone like May, it would have been up there). Dawn and Zoey for the lesbian side (Ikari might be thee most popular Dawn 'ship, but Appeal and Penguin at least have something to stand on), Ash and Gary for the gay side (not to mention, still darn popular), Contest because it's nigh-canon, Luck as Brock's top 'ship because Brock is still current (thus shall set an example), and Rocket because that's never going to die.

Because if you haven't noticed, that listing is called "'''Some''' popular ships include," meaning they aren't ''thee'' top ten most awesomeawesome 'ships in the world.

==List of Popular Ships==
I don't think [[LuckShipping]] should be here. As stated before, there isn't many fan made arts or stories about Brock and Lucy. And it's not usually voiced by the fans. If there's a need to be at least one Brock Ship then it should be [[GymShipping]]. I'm not a fan of this ship, but GymShipping is mentioned most of the time rather than LuckShipping and there are fanworks. {{unsigned|Jczala}}
:I agree! I feel that Gymshipping is much more popular then luckshipping beacuse it was one of the original shipings so it has lots of fans. I think Luckshipping should be taken off for Gymshippinmg.[[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
::I gave my reasons above. You want more? How about, with Luckshipping's inclusion, it's not simply a list between main characters and their rivals (providing minimally accepted diversity/variety)? It stands out as the 'ship that isn't so interlaced with the heavily recurring characters. Luckshipping IS popular (I traverse enough 'shipping forums to know it's a preferred Brockship in recent times), more so than TeenCareshipping, and it doesn't matter about the lack of fanworks. Gymshipping might be the more popular Brockshipping within the overall cast, but Misty has currently fallen off the scene, thus promoting her heavily goes against the grain of getting off the Advance horse and onto the DP horse.
::Why is this such a big deal?? No one's picketing my door because I didn't include Ikarishipping or Comashipping. Or Abilityshipping, or Pikashipping (which probably SHOULD be there, now that I think of it, or Altoshipping, as a pokéship). Or Egoshipping, or Twinleafshipping, or Cavaliershipping, or a Max or Tracy 'ship. Why do you CARE? It's a LIST, of '''SOME''' popular 'ships. It is not ALL, or the ONLY popular 'ships. This shouldn't be an issue. Honestly. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I think it's uch more reasonable for GymShipping to be included instead of LuckShipping. I understand that you've traveled so many forums that have made this shipping with BrockxLucy very popular in the fandom. But I have also been to a lot of forums myself, both Pokemon-centric and not, and saw that Gym Shipping is a lot popular and rather preferred choice of Shipping for Brock. I especially take into consideration the fans who only find some leisure time in Pokemon. Many of them stated that GymShipping would be a good Shipping for Brock. I've also asked around online the rabid fans I know and found out that they recognize GymShipping more than LuckShipping. First of all, both Brock and Misty had so many interactions and hints that make this shipping somewhat solid. It also poses a threat to the popular and ever-so-strong PokeShipping. Misty had been a main character in the show and most fans know her more than Lucy. In addition to that, Lucy had only appeared in few episodes and she is never brought up by Brock again. Misty, at least, appeared in DP in a form of a lure and Brock is the one who explained to Dawn who she is. I have nothing against Lucy, as she is my favorite Frontier Brain. But LuckShipping does not overshadow GymShipping. It should be GymShipping in the list of popular ships and not LuckShipping. [[User:mikanlamperouge|mikanlamperouge]]
::::If Misty ever gets back as a regular cast member or with a near-canon 'ship that isn't Pokéshipping, we'll see about changing the line-up. But the POINT of having Luckshipping is '''diversity''' to that small, tiny list. I went over my reasons for Luck over Gym. It's also just a list of '''some''' popular 'ships, not the "most popular" (something a bunch of you guys are not understanding). I'm tired of repeating myself. I don't wish to again on the matter.

:::::I honestly find BrockxNurse Joy more popular--even for kids. Seriously, I've seen so many fandom works that involve more GymShipping than LuckShipping. I have no particular interest in GymShipping, but a lot of fans still like it. The hints shown in the series were rather convincing and not just a one-time love feeling in Brock's part. I also respect this shipping and don't want this dying for the sake and remembrance of the original series. Like PokeShipping, GymShipping serves as a reminder for fans, old and new, that there were great times spent in the original series. It also goes to show that many fans still would like Misty as the one for Brock, considering all they've been through. When it comes to fandom, I agree that LuckShipping is growing, but it is at the same time a shipping with a very short romance for Brock. Misty, who had been a main character before and a fellow Gym Leader, had more chances to be with Brock. Keep in mind that Misty was always the one who dragged him away from girls. Brock has also shown his good share of care and compassion towards Misty. Many fans also find the two's relationship rather entertaining. A lot of shippers agree to the fact that GymShipping had also pose a big threat to PokeShipping. Brock and Misty have also shaped Ash into the fine trainer he is today. Fan arts, fan videos etc... I've seen more of GymShipping than LuckShipping. There are hardly some LuckShipping works.Okay, I've just stated my opinions about this, and I just want to add that I don't particularly support any shippings with Brock.

==Is this relevant?==
Sure this query will garner a largely negative response, but are Shipping articles really necessary or conducive to the goals and spirit of Bulbapedia? I figured Bulbapedia was about categorizing and listing all the facts pertaining to the Pokémon series of games and all spin-offs, anime, products, etc. Do fan-based pairings created in a sub-culture of the tie-in anime have enough to do with Pokémon to be relevant or edifying to the users of Bulbapedia? This seems like a weird place for fanfiction and, maybe it's just me, doesn't seem to sit right with the rest of the content on the wiki. I mean, what is shipping itself if not "representing rumors, misconceptions, or opinions as fact"? [[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 9:13, 3 June 2010
:All the shipping articles are kept away from the others <s>for fear of contamination</s> and tagged that they may contain speculation rather than cold, hard fact. It's not fanfiction.

== Don't mean to nitpick... ==

I noticed that NegaiShipping is listed under popular ships and that sort of bewilders me. Is that just because it's a ship with Ash and a female companion? Because from what I seen, NegaiShipping is not that popular among fans. Which is a bit surprising. WishfulShipping seems to be more popular than it is despite their being more valid hints for Negai displayed in the anime for Iris. Especially among Japanese fans (of course CafeMocha out-popularizes them all lol). Let me try to prove my case with some well known sites for fan works. If you have a problem with these couplings, don't click the links.

Here are the tags for both Negai and Wishful on Pixiv. Please compare: [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%82%B5%E3%83%88%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Negai] vs [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Wishful]

*In addition to this, I'd like to include the ships' focus groups on dA. Please compare member count: [http://negaishippers.deviantart.com/ Negai] vs [http://wishfulshipping.deviantart.com/ Wishful]

Here are Ash/Iris and Cilan/Iris stories on FanFiction.net. Please compare: [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/6297/50779/0/0/1/ Negai] vs [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/50973/50779/0/0/1/ Wishful] {{tt|*|Let it be known that some of the stories may not be shipping}}

These show that NegaiShipping is lagging in popularity when compared to WishfulShipping. I am here to suggest that WishfulShipping get added to the list as well. And no, I'm not doing this because I am a Wishful shipper. If I saw evidence that it was indeed less popular than Negai I wouldn't bring it up. But if Negai is being listed, I think Wishful should be too. And if it is indeed only being listed because it is an Ash x Female companion ship, I would suggest a removal. Ash ships should only be listed if they are indeed very popular, which Negai clearly isn't. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

::I see your point on Dawn already having a couple examples, but a lot of people have mentioned how populaur it is and hey, Ash is on the list five different times! I say we add it in. --[[User:Potatogurl|Potatogurl]] 00:09, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't deny that it's popular; it is. But Ash is there multiple times because he's still on the show (being the main character and all). Adding more Dawn 'ships doesn't make sense in that light, especially when no other character aside from Ash exceeds two (even involving his current companions).

::::I odn't know if I'm just no around when people talk about AppealShipping or something, but I personally feel IkariShipping is a very popular ship, so jus "maybe" we could replace it? Again, I don't know if I'm n the internet at all the wrong times and I jus never here the talk, but eh, you can consider it. --[[User:Potatogurl|Potatogurl]] 02:37, 5 November 2011 (UTC)
:::::Appealshipping is one of the more popular yuri 'ships. We needed a yuri 'ship, especially when we don't have many. That's the trade off. It doesn't matter if Ikari is more popular than Appeal; it matters that Appeal is at the top of its place here. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 02:48, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・シゲル''' ''Shigeru Okido'') was the primary [[rival]] of [[Ash Ketchum]], prior to their final battle in the Johto League, and grandson of {{an|Professor Oak}}. His Japanese name is derived from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

==In the anime==
Gary has been a neighbor of [[Ash Ketchum]] since they were both young. At one time they seemed to be friends and went to see movies together as seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' Before either of their journeys began, both Gary and Ash found an old [[Poké Ball]] while fishing. The two boys began fighting over who would get to keep the Poké Ball but ended up breaking it in half. Since then, they decided to keep the two separate pieces for themselves. It was revealed in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' that they still carried the pieces with them.

===In the original series===
[[File:Gary Oak OS.png|left|thumb|200px|Gary as seen in the original series.]]
The day he started out on his Pokémon journey, he came off as an arrogant trainer, much like his {{pkmn|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle|Blastoise}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that Ash originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He didn't walk on his journeys like most trainers did; instead he had his own sporty red convertible with a chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet-name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon.

[[File:SS015.png|thumb|right|Gary in his lab coat]]
Soon he would eat his words when he would challenge the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}} to a Pokémon battle for his final, but not necessary, badge in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. At first he seemed to be winning against Giovanni, knocking out most of his Pokémon. But then Giovanni sent out {{an|Mewtwo}} against the trainer and even let Gary use both his {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}} against it. Mewtwo made quick work of the two Pokémon and Gary experienced his first (known) loss. However this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on to finally realize that he needed to change himself.

Gary eventually returned in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Much unlike his former self, he congratulated Ash on his victory in the [[Orange Crew|Orange League]]. Soon Ash challenged him to a battle with his {{AP|Pikachu}} as his choice. Gary in turn used his {{TP|Gary|Eevee|Umbreon}}. Gary managed to defeat Ash and then left on his journey through [[Johto]].

In his few appearances during the Johto season, he seemed to have become the complete opposite of who he was. He became polite, intelligent, and respectful to others, including Ash. In ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' he battled Ash at the [[Silver Conference]]. Ash ended up winning the battle when his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated Gary's Blastoise.

In ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', Gary decided that he didn't want to be a Pokémon Trainer anymore, but instead wanted to be a [[Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather.

===In the ''Advanced Generation'' series===
In ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', Gary works on [[Sayda Island]] with {{an|Crystal}}. There, he revived an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from an [[Old Amber]]. At first the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island, but Gary soon gained its trust after he fed it some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat.

Eventually, he moves to the [[Sinnoh]] region where he is currently conducting his research.

In ''[[AG192|Home Is Where The Start Is]]'', Gary reunited with Ash and battled him with his {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and defeated Ash's Pikachu once more.

===In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series===
[[File:Gary laptop.png|thumb|220px|right|Gary's laptop]]
In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' he was taking care of a group of {{p|Shieldon}} and protected them from the evil [[Pokémon Hunter]] [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her minions]]. He appeared again in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'' where he helped Ash and {{AP|Gligar|Gliscor}} by giving a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} to Ash which caused {{AP|Gligar}} to evolve later. He was in the area after hearing rumors of {{p|Azelf}}. Upon meeting him, {{an|Dawn}} thought that he was a poet like his
{{an|Professor Oak|grandfather}}.

Gary later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', working alongside Professor Rowan at [[Valor Lakefront]] where he attempted to protect Azelf from [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] and [[Team Galactic]], however he was unable to defeat [[Saturn]] in battle. He later monitored the changes around [[Mt. Coronet]] caused by [[Cyrus]]' attempts to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

===Pokémon===
Since the very start of his own journey, Gary has shown exceptional skill as a Pokémon Trainer, catching and training an astonishing number and variety of strong Pokémon in a short period of time, and losing battles a very small number of times. However, since retiring as a Pokémon Trainer to become a researcher, it isn't known if he continues to catch new Pokémon.

This listing is for Gary's [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] as of ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

It evolved twice prior to ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'', where Gary used it against Ash during the [[Silver Conference]]. It beat [[Ash's Heracross]] and {{AP|Bayleef}} and also almost defeated [[Ash's Muk]] before Ash recalled it. Eventually, Blastoise was defeated by [[Ash's Charizard]]'s {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

Gary has kept Blastoise in his team even after the Silver Conference. In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' he used it to battle against [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]] and her [[J's henchmen|henchmen]].}}

Umbreon has also been seen during Gary's appearances at [[Sinnoh]]. For example, it was seen in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', where Gary used in a practice battle against [[Ash's Gliscor|Ash's Gligar]]. It also helped Gary to battle against J and [[Saturn]] of [[Team Galactic]] in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]''.}}

Gary has later been seen using Electivire in Sinnoh. In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'' he used it to battle against J in order to stop her from stealing the {{p|Shieldon}}. In ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', Gary used Electivire to battle against [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], but the Thunderbolt Pokémon was defeated by {{p|Toxicroak}}'s powerful {{m|Poison Jab}}.}}

Oak then also showed Ash Gary's Krabby, which was way [[Giant Pokémon|bigger]] than Ash's.

Gary's Krabby was briefly seen again in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', where Gary compared its size to Ash's Krabby's size.

When [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] tried to steal Mrs. and [[Mr. Shellby]]'s [[Pokémon egg]]s, Gary used Arcanine's {{m|Flame Wheel}} to send them blasting off. After this the race continued, and finally Ash, using his {{p|Bayleef}}, proved victorious.

Of the eight badges that Ash won, Gary only has three: A Boulder Badge, a Cascade Badge, and a Rainbow Badge. The other seven are unknown, but aside from the Earth Badge, he didn't get a Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, Soul Badge, or Volcano Badge.

Gary's achievements in [[Johto]] were not stated, other than that he had the minimum of eight badges to compete in the tournament.

==Trivia==
[[File:EP270.png|thumb|right|Gary and Ash]]
* Gary is one of the few characters to have his English dub voice remain unchanged throughout the series. From ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to this day, he has been voiced by [[Jimmy Zoppi]]. Zoppi is currently credited as '''Billy Beach''' under his Pokémon USA work.
* In the [[original series]], Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I]]. In his {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series2|Diamond & Pearl}} appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, making him the only non-main character to undergo a permanent change of clothing. Interestingly, the cape he adorns in the [[OK!|third opening]] and in [[EP115]] resembles the one worn by his cross-canon manga counterpart {{adv|Blue}} in the {{chap|Yellow}}. The only attire Gary has yet to be seen wearing is Blue's outfit from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of Pokémon owned by Ash and each of {{Ashfr|his friends}}, excluding {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}} (and [[Max]], obviously). These are: Blastoise ({{AP|Squirtle}} and {{TP|May|Wartortle}}), Kingdra ({{TP|Misty|Horsea}}), Golem ({{TP|Brock|Geodude}}) and Scizor ({{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}). Both Ash and Gary have also caught a {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}}, but only Ash's is known to have evolved.
* Gary has three Pokémon in common with Ash's Sinnoh rival, [[Paul]]: {{P|Electivire}}, {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Magmar}}.
* Gary is the only one of Ash's rivals to appear in a Pokémon movie, aside from the credits, appearing '''very''' briefly in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of each of the special Pokémon that can appear on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Mass Outbreak|swarming]], or the [[Poké Radar]] (Arcanine, Nidoking, Nidoqueen, and Dodrio).

'''Dig Those Diglett!''' (Japanese: '''ディグダがいっぱい！''' ''Full of {{tt|Digda!|Diglett!}}'') is the 31st episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on October 28, 1997 and in the United States on October 19, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
While journeying through a mountainous region, {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Team Rocket]] hear what sounds like an explosion in the distance. Upon arriving at the scene, they instead find several trucks in a pile-up. A local construction worker reveals that a group of {{p|Diglett}} inhabiting the area are responsible in an attempt to halt the building of a "Great Dam" within the region. The worker says that rewards will be offered for those who succeed in halting the Diglett's interference; conveniently, [[Gary Oak]] chooses this moment to make one of his appearances. Nevertheless, the attempts of the invited trainers fall flat, as their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} possess no desire to do battle with the Diglett.

Meanwhile, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] plot to take possession of the hordes of new Pokémon nearby, but quickly realize their efforts would be in vain with simply {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Koffing}} at their disposal. Shortly thereafter, seemingly out of a love for their owners, the two Pokémon [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}, respectively. They then show off their newly evolved Pokémon in an ambush on Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}}. However, despite the evolutions, Team Rocket are soundly defeated by the Diglett and Dugtrio as Arbok uses {{m|Dig}} to go underground, with Weezing following along.
The episode concludes with the scene of the construction worker vowing to bring the dam project to a halt, after learning that Diglett and {{p|Dugtrio}} inhabited the area peacefully prior to his intrusion.

==Major events==
* [[Jessie]]'s {{p|Ekans}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}.
* [[James]]'s {{p|Koffing}} evolves into {{TP|James|Weezing}}.
* James's Weezing is revealed to know {{m|Tackle}}.

==Trivia==
* This is [[Nathan Price]]'s last episode as {{MTR}}.
* Apparently, a Pokémon can choose whether or not to come out of their [[Poké Ball]], as demonstrated by {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, and later, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, {{TP|May|Skitty}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, and {{TP|Ash|Oshawott}}. However, this is the only instance where the Pokémon refuses to exit its Poké Ball, as opposed to sending itself out whenever it feels like it.
* This is the second episode where a character is trying to build something that would destroy the area around them, and the Pokémon that interfere with it to save their area are targeted by the character to be exterminated. Unlike [[Nastina]], however, the construction worker realizes why the Diglett are interfering with him, and cancels the dam.
* Team Rocket [[breaking the fourth wall|break the fourth wall]] once again, when they first reveal their evolved Pokémon to Ash and friends. They mentioned that their Arbok and Weezing are being shown "[[List of Pokémon by anime debut|for the first time on TV]]".
* This is the first time when two of main characters' Pokémon evolve simultaneously. This wouldn't happen again until ''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]''.
**Coincidentally, in both instances, one of the Pokémon involved belonged to Jessie.
* Jessie and James mention [[experience]] points in this episode.
* In the dub, when all of the Trainers are attempting to send out their Pokémon, one of the Trainers can be heard trying to send out a {{p|Porygon}}.
* In the dub, the Dam is refered to as the "Gaiva Dam", likely a play on the phrase "Give a damn".
* This episode marks the first time Brock and Misty meet Gary in the dub.

===Errors===
* In the dub, Brock points out that Diglett plow the ground and that Dugtrio plant the trees, but the clips actually show Dugtrio plowing the ground and the Diglett planting trees.
* When [[James's Weezing]]'s second head opened its mouth for the first time, it temporarily had the two upper square teeth the main head has. This was removed in subsequent appearances.
* After the hot spring, where Ash, Misty and Brock were bathing in, was emptied by the Diglett, the Pokémon are heard saying their Japanese name, Digda, instead of Diglett.
* The construction worker says "Digletts," when "Diglett" is both singular and plural.

===Dub edits===
* When Jessie and James set up their picnic in the dub, Jessie says she is having Chinese food when she is really having {{wp|Japanese curry}}, and James says he'll have tea and crumpets, pouring the tea into a bowl containing his supposed crumpets, when he's actually having {{wp|ochazuke}}.
* In the Japanese version, when witnessing the explosions, James speculates that the trucks and explosions related to treasure hunter TV shows or Ultra Squadrons, which is changed to an alien invasion in the English version.
* The [[wp:kanji|kanji]] for the hot spring advertisement was removed.
* Also, the sign that translated to "The Pokémon Trainer Party" also had the text removed.
* In the scene where Gary decides to make his grand slam, he originally stated that "it isn't like baseball, where being fourth batter is the best." Also, Misty and Brock's reaction in the original was of agreement, while as the dub had them calling Gary detestable. This was presumably done because Beauty and the Beach (the first meeting between Gary and Misty and Brock) was still banned by the time this episode aired.
* The impact star was replaced when Brock hits Ash for wondering if Gary's cheerleaders are Pokémon.
* Gary's cheerleaders referred to Brock as an "old man" in the Japanese version instead of "Sir", rather than Brock himself saying that they think he's an old man.
* Most lines relating to numbers or the number 4 were rewritten.
* Brock originally wonders if it is alright to be wearing swimsuits in a hot spring.
* When they figured out that the Pokémon did not want to fight the Diglett, thus explaining why they won't obey their Trainers in leaving the balls, Misty referred to them as masters in the dub.

==Dump qustion==
Is caild shiping when it's none Pokemon? Like Lufy and Nami from One Peace--[[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 23:41, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah, shipping is pretty much a universal term that is not exclusive to Pokémon. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 02:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.--[[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 18:37, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, like Inuyusha and Kagome. (no, I don't watch that show, I just heard about them.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight_the_ampharos]] 20:52, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

==Link==
Does any one else think that on the Characters page (for example, on Mistys page include a link to Pokeshipping)?--{{Ani|336}}[[User:Darth Cookie Monster|'''Darth''']]{{Ani|157}}[[User talk:Darth Cookie Monster|'''Cookie''']]{{Ani|168}}[[User:Darth Cookie Monster/Trade with Me|'''Monster''']]{{Ani|141}} 00:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
::No, no. Shippings are just (highly agreed on) fan assumptions, such as GSDS or that Ash is gonna catch a Hippopotas. --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 01:01, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Why not? It makes sense, since there is plenty of speculation already, why not at least offer a link to the appropriate shippy section? Also, is there an article that lists all ships described on Bulbapedia? 'Cause I think that might be appropriate here. (Where's altoshipping on this "favorites" list? *pout*)
[[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 21:09, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:For the sake of having a comprehensive wiki, I'm thinking that compiling a list of all 'ships' might not be a bad idea. -- [[User:Bug Catcher Jam|BCJ]]''([[User talk:Bug Catcher Jam|talk]])'' 09:04, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

==Gay Shipping==
Can We take down all the Gay Shippings like palletShipping, Even with the warning, It just isn't right.--[[User:Quick Man|Quick Man]] 21:18, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:Why?????????!!!!!! Are you against homosexuality? sigh, such prejudice in the world. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH HOMOSEXUALITY•'''[[User:Pokemaniac102|Poke]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|maniac]]102''' 21:48, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
:#No.
:#There's nothing wrong with being gay or lesbian. Besides, just because there's a shipping doesn't mean that people think they're banging each other in secret. Brock and Ash are great friends. That's a relationship, is it not? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
::Hmm, most people think that being lesb/gay is ethically wrong. But wrong/right is a matter of opinion. I, myself, think that homosexuality is wrong, but then again, one must look at the big picture. So, please, show some respect to each other. Posted by the '''[[User:Optimus35|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Ph34r4ever|Talk]]|[[User:Optimus35/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''10:00 23 May 2008'''''
:::I would challenge that first claim (at least for the West) but let's not get into a political debate. Bulbagarden actually has a longer history of accepting these. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 11:14, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Whether or not people consider right or wrong, it should still be allowed on the site. This is a Pokémon encyclopedia after all. If shipping in general is part of this encyclopedia, then homosexual ships should be included as well to make the site as complete as it can be. Just because some people find it offensive is no reason to remove it ({{p|Jynx|though it does happen...}}). Some people find shipping in general to be offensive, while some disagree with having spoilers of things that have only been shown in Japan at the time. These aren't going to be removed, so why should this? {{Unsigned|Hyper Turtwig}}

:Keep them up. Weather you thing Homosexuality is wrong or right, it doesn't matter, some people do some people don't. I can't actually stand people who are always against homosexuality and are always like "yeah its wrong blah blah blah" (being Bi-sexual and having a girlfriend myself...). As for you saying "it just isn't right"...Love is love, regardless of gender (: *totally stole that quote from a friend btw* [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 15:57, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

:I see no reason why homosexual shipping should be removed. Bulbapedia is supposed to have a neutral POV. One's beliefs on what is right or wrong should have no bearing on the deletion of RELEVANT and LEGITIMATE articles. I agree with Hyper Turtwig, if some find shipping in general to be offensive, why should one class of shipping be removed but the rest spared?[[User:Draconium|Draconium]] 23:50, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
Um, I actually think the original poster was insinuating upon that he doesn't think odd pairings between members of the same sex is right, aka May and Dawn (simply because people think they would look "cute" together), Ash and Gary (as they are pretty much rivals), and others related to those. - [[User:JWhitt|J]][[User_talk:JWhitt|Whitt]] 09:20, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

==In regards to adding articles==
While I'm definately not immersed in the shipping scene, I do notice a few trends that don't have articles yet, like Ash's Chikorita/Bayleef having her obsession over Ash, it's probably as significant as the Latias one. The side of me that likes to add articles started kicking in, but really, what does one do, just make an article and make up a name for the shipping? Or is there some accepted name for how these shipping things turn out, or what? @_@ Toastypk 22:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
: We has a list; we likes to use it. Ash/Chikorita is Chikoshipping, and Ash/Bayleef is Bodyslamshipping. If the side that kicks you into making articles exist, be our guest. [[User:ArcToraphim|ArcToraphim]] 14:23, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

==Relationship==
Relationship did not must be romantic. We all there have a relationship, because we all post on this page. So it will be better to delete the word romantic if is not 100% clear. --[[User:Hanmac|Hanmac]]
:i don't have relationship. u need better grammar. i cannot understand what you are writing, you are not clear. '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]''10:54 22 Aug 2008'''''

==What about Brock and May Shipping?==
When Brock returned to the cast, May was quick to drag him around like a new boy toy[[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 22:09, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
:We have that. It's called [[ShoppingShipping]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
*Speaking of which, can we add this one to the list? If it has its own article then we should list it here. The GRAND list has a bunch of stuff and Shopping lacks a link to this article so people will be unable to find it. [[User:Tyciol|Tyciol]] 09:57, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

==Order of the list of popular ships==
I know this is a petty thing, but I really think it would be better alphabetically listed, as popularity can be subject to opinion. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 22:43, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

:::That is indeed an issue, but we should take it one step at a time, and put the list in alphabetical order until we can figure out what makes a ship be allowed on the list. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Nos hablamos?]] 23:31, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
::::That's fair. I just hope PokéShippers don't freak out that it's not at the top of the list. Personally, I don't think Ikari, Orange, and AppealShipping should be on the list. They're not as popular as the others. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:37, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

==What about Brock and Dawn Shipping==
Is it just me, or should there be a shipping for Dawn and Brock? I mean there is a shipping for Brock and May [[ShoppingShipping]] and there is a shipping for Brock and Misty [[GymShipping]]. So why not one for Dawn and Brock? - [[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
:Go ask the Shipping experts, not here. There probably is one. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

==[[PalletShipping]]==
Does anyone else think that Palletshipping shouldn't be up on the popular shipping list? I think that no one even supports this shipping anymore because Gary is hardly in the anime anymore. - [[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
:That's like saying no one supports Pokéshipping anymore because Misty isn't around (and you know that isn't true) and should be removed from that list too. Palletshipping: stil priddy dam popular. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 15:04, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
::Agreed, but what's popular to one person might not be to another. For example, subconciously, I want to think that no one supports gay ships because I was brought up to believe that homosexuality is wrong (though I now agree with what Seinfeld has to say on the matter).--[[User:Totodilesentret|Totodilesentret!]][[User Talk:Totodilesentret|Talk to me.]] 21:10, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

==[[LuckShipping]]==
I feel that this should not be under the most popular shipping page. There isn't many fanart, videos, or fanfictions about it. So I don't see a reason for it to still be on. - [[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
:{{u|ArcToraphim}} says there needs to be at least one Brock ship up there. And according her, it's the most popular Brock ship. If we defined popularity as a whole, then there would probably be only Ash ships up their. I believe ArcToraphim's idea was to try to make a blended character list. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:06, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
::Popularity is found within the voice of fans and not always the fanwork that goes with it. Kenji's correct: I want a mixed list that simply isn't all Ash (which is why Boulder isn't there, even though I'm a fan and I know it has a moderate following). The lack of a Misty 'ship is due to her not being currently present in the group, coupled with not having an alternate, non-Ash 'ship that has the following of Contestshipping (no, Orange doesn't compare; if she did, it wouldn't matter that she's gone like May, it would have been up there). Dawn and Zoey for the lesbian side (Ikari might be thee most popular Dawn 'ship, but Appeal and Penguin at least have something to stand on), Ash and Gary for the gay side (not to mention, still darn popular), Contest because it's nigh-canon, Luck as Brock's top 'ship because Brock is still current (thus shall set an example), and Rocket because that's never going to die. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 04:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
:::Well then what about [[KitchenMaidShipping]] or [[TeenCareShipping]], these two shippings have more evidence and TeenCareShipping has a fansite dedicated to it. - [[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
::::No. It doesn't matter "what has more evidence" or which one has a website. That's not the point. It'll never be KitchenMaid because Autumn is no different than Wilhemina, Temacu, or Natalie: she's a one-off character (AND it's not wildly popular). And Luckshipping against TeenCareshipping...I work off what I hear and see on the forums: Lucy would still beat Holly at the polls as the preferred Brock-ship. Okay? This isn't exactly a debate. Because if you haven't noticed, that listing is called "'''Some''' popular ships include," meaning they aren't ''thee'' top ten most awesomeawesome 'ships in the world. They're ''some'' of the most popular 'ships in the fandom. And we have plenty of those; at the very least, thirty.
::::Why is this so damn important to you? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

==List of Popular Ships==
I don't think [[LuckShipping]] should be here. As stated before, there isn't many fan made arts or stories about Brock and Lucy. And it's not usually voiced by the fans. If there's a need to be at least one Brock Ship then it should be [[GymShipping]]. I'm not a fan of this ship, but GymShipping is mentioned most of the time rather than LuckShipping and there are fanworks. {{unsigned|Jczala}}
:I agree! I feel that Gymshipping is much more popular then luckshipping beacuse it was one of the original shipings so it has lots of fans. I think Luckshipping should be taken off for Gymshippinmg.[[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
::I gave my reasons above. You want more? How about, with Luckshipping's inclusion, it's not simply a list between main characters and their rivals (providing minimally accepted diversity/variety)? It stands out as the 'ship that isn't so interlaced with the heavily recurring characters. Luckshipping IS popular (I traverse enough 'shipping forums to know it's a preferred Brockship in recent times), more so than TeenCareshipping, and it doesn't matter about the lack of fanworks. Gymshipping might be the more popular Brockshipping within the overall cast, but Misty has currently fallen off the scene, thus promoting her heavily goes against the grain of getting off the Advance horse and onto the DP horse.
::Why is this such a big deal?? No one's picketing my door because I didn't include Ikarishipping or Comashipping. Or Abilityshipping, or Pikashipping (which probably SHOULD be there, now that I think of it, or Altoshipping, as a pokéship). Or Egoshipping, or Twinleafshipping, or Cavaliershipping, or a Max or Tracy 'ship. Why do you CARE? It's a LIST, of '''SOME''' popular 'ships. It is not ALL, or the ONLY popular 'ships. This shouldn't be an issue. Honestly. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I think it's uch more reasonable for GymShipping to be included instead of LuckShipping. I understand that you've traveled so many forums that have made this shipping with BrockxLucy very popular in the fandom. But I have also been to a lot of forums myself, both Pokemon-centric and not, and saw that Gym Shipping is a lot popular and rather preferred choice of Shipping for Brock. I especially take into consideration the fans who only find some leisure time in Pokemon. Many of them stated that GymShipping would be a good Shipping for Brock. I've also asked around online the rabid fans I know and found out that they recognize GymShipping more than LuckShipping. First of all, both Brock and Misty had so many interactions and hints that make this shipping somewhat solid. It also poses a threat to the popular and ever-so-strong PokeShipping. Misty had been a main character in the show and most fans know her more than Lucy. In addition to that, Lucy had only appeared in few episodes and she is never brought up by Brock again. Misty, at least, appeared in DP in a form of a lure and Brock is the one who explained to Dawn who she is. I have nothing against Lucy, as she is my favorite Frontier Brain. But LuckShipping does not overshadow GymShipping. It should be GymShipping in the list of popular ships and not LuckShipping. [[User:mikanlamperouge|mikanlamperouge]]
::::If Misty ever gets back as a regular cast member or with a near-canon 'ship that isn't Pokéshipping, we'll see about changing the line-up. But the POINT of having Luckshipping is '''diversity''' to that small, tiny list. I went over my reasons for Luck over Gym. It's also just a list of '''some''' popular 'ships, not the "most popular" (something a bunch of you guys are not understanding). I'm tired of repeating myself. I don't wish to again on the matter.

:::::I honestly find BrockxNurse Joy more popular--even for kids. Seriously, I've seen so many fandom works that involve more GymShipping than LuckShipping. I have no particular interest in GymShipping, but a lot of fans still like it. The hints shown in the series were rather convincing and not just a one-time love feeling in Brock's part. I also respect this shipping and don't want this dying for the sake and remembrance of the original series. Like PokeShipping, GymShipping serves as a reminder for fans, old and new, that there were great times spent in the original series. It also goes to show that many fans still would like Misty as the one for Brock, considering all they've been through. When it comes to fandom, I agree that LuckShipping is growing, but it is at the same time a shipping with a very short romance for Brock. Misty, who had been a main character before and a fellow Gym Leader, had more chances to be with Brock. Keep in mind that Misty was always the one who dragged him away from girls. Brock has also shown his good share of care and compassion towards Misty. Many fans also find the two's relationship rather entertaining. A lot of shippers agree to the fact that GymShipping had also pose a big threat to PokeShipping. Brock and Misty have also shaped Ash into the fine trainer he is today. Fan arts, fan videos etc... I've seen more of GymShipping than LuckShipping. There are hardly some LuckShipping works.Okay, I've just stated my opinions about this, and I just want to add that I don't particularly support any shippings with Brock. I only believe that GymShipping is still popular.[[User:Akatsuki_hime|Akatsuki_hime]] 06:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

==Links to shippers==
Since the page is protected, some of the links, like "[[RocketShipping]]" (...relationship between Jessie and James. Thus, RocketShipping was born. ) and ShigeSato (...Satoshi (Ash) and Shigeru (Gary) would be called ShigeSato.) link directly to the shipping articles, when yet [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] prohibits this. Should these be changed? [[User:Tails0600|Tails0600]] 05:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

==Is this relevant?==
Sure this query will garner a largely negative response, but are Shipping articles really necessary or conducive to the goals and spirit of Bulbapedia? I figured Bulbapedia was about categorizing and listing all the facts pertaining to the Pokémon series of games and all spin-offs, anime, products, etc. Do fan-based pairings created in a sub-culture of the tie-in anime have enough to do with Pokémon to be relevant or edifying to the users of Bulbapedia? This seems like a weird place for fanfiction and, maybe it's just me, doesn't seem to sit right with the rest of the content on the wiki. I mean, what is shipping itself if not "representing rumors, misconceptions, or opinions as fact"? [[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 9:13, 3 June 2010
:All the shipping articles are kept away from the others <s>for fear of contamination</s> and tagged that they may contain speculation rather than cold, hard fact. It's not fanfiction. The reason we include shipping is because its a valid part of the fandom - Bulbapedia endeavours to document not just ingame statistics, but also the fandom it serves... within reason, after all. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

==Update the popular list==
We really should update the list of popular ships. I am part of one of the largest Pokemon communities, and IkariShipping is supremely popular, while no one so much as mentions LuckShipping. Also, I believe NegaiShipping should be added to the list, it's popular. {{unsigned|Chiramii}}
:And I'm part of the entire Pokémon community, far and wide. The popular list will be updated in due course. But Ikari is not being put on it. If we listed /every/ popular 'ship, the list would be quite, quite long. The current listing is like it is for a reason.

==Negai==
Hey, I think we should add NegaiShipping (Ash <3 Iris) to the major ships, due to that all ships with ash and the main female character of the series (in this case, Best Wishes), always go to the top in popularity, or should we wait until it is a little more popular? ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 10:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

== culture differences ==
should we mention that some culture definations of what's considered shippy is little different. I know that in some cultures(like in some middle eastern ones, and chinese), supposedly close friends also hold hands. in most latin american countries, some african countries, spain, and france friends greet each other with hugs and a kiss on the check. in amercian, friends hug each other.
:Not really. Any romantic gestures will be either universal or Japanese in origin. And for the most part, the hints themselves are subjective between friendship and romantic. It's not really a cultural thing. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 01:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== Don't mean to nitpick... ==

I noticed that NegaiShipping is listed under popular ships and that sort of bewilders me. Is that just because it's a ship with Ash and a female companion? Because from what I seen, NegaiShipping is not that popular among fans. Which is a bit surprising. WishfulShipping seems to be more popular than it is despite their being more valid hints for Negai displayed in the anime for Iris. Especially among Japanese fans (of course CafeMocha out-popularizes them all lol). Let me try to prove my case with some well known sites for fan works. If you have a problem with these couplings, don't click the links.

Here are the tags for both Negai and Wishful on Pixiv. Please compare: [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%82%B5%E3%83%88%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Negai] vs [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Wishful]

*In addition to this, I'd like to include the ships' focus groups on dA. Please compare member count: [http://negaishippers.deviantart.com/ Negai] vs [http://wishfulshipping.deviantart.com/ Wishful]

Here are Ash/Iris and Cilan/Iris stories on FanFiction.net. Please compare: [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/6297/50779/0/0/1/ Negai] vs [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/50973/50779/0/0/1/ Wishful] {{tt|*|Let it be known that some of the stories may not be shipping}}

These show that NegaiShipping is lagging in popularity when compared to WishfulShipping. I am here to suggest that WishfulShipping get added to the list as well. And no, I'm not doing this because I am a Wishful shipper. If I saw evidence that it was indeed less popular than Negai I wouldn't bring it up. But if Negai is being listed, I think Wishful should be too. And if it is indeed only being listed because it is an Ash x Female companion ship, I would suggest a removal. Ash ships should only be listed if they are indeed very popular, which Negai clearly isn't. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

:Those ships do exist. ContuckyFriedShipping and AllgrownupShipping (with Togetic), respectively. The thing is no one had made articles about them.

Whether or not people consider right or wrong, it should still be allowed on the site. This is a Pokémon encyclopedia after all. If shipping in general is part of this encyclopedia, then homosexual ships should be included as well to make the site as complete as it can be. Just because some people find it offensive is no reason to remove it ({{p|Jynx|though it does happen...}}).

The lack of a Misty 'ship is due to her not being currently present in the group, coupled with not having an alternate, non-Ash 'ship that has the following of Contestshipping (no, Orange doesn't compare; if she did, it wouldn't matter that she's gone like May, it would have been up there). Dawn and Zoey for the lesbian side (Ikari might be thee most popular Dawn 'ship, but Appeal and Penguin at least have something to stand on), Ash and Gary for the gay side (not to mention, still darn popular), Contest because it's nigh-canon, Luck as Brock's top 'ship because Brock is still current (thus shall set an example), and Rocket because that's never going to die.

And Luckshipping against TeenCareshipping...I work off what I hear and see on the forums: Lucy would still beat Holly at the polls as the preferred Brock-ship. Okay? This isn't exactly a debate. Because if you haven't noticed, that listing is called "'''Some''' popular ships include," meaning they aren't ''thee'' top ten most awesomeawesome 'ships in the world. They're ''some'' of the most popular 'ships in the fandom. And we have plenty of those; at the very least, thirty.
::::Why is this so damn important to you? [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

==List of Popular Ships==
I don't think [[LuckShipping]] should be here. As stated before, there isn't many fan made arts or stories about Brock and Lucy. And it's not usually voiced by the fans. If there's a need to be at least one Brock Ship then it should be [[GymShipping]]. I'm not a fan of this ship, but GymShipping is mentioned most of the time rather than LuckShipping and there are fanworks. {{unsigned|Jczala}}
:I agree! I feel that Gymshipping is much more popular then luckshipping beacuse it was one of the original shipings so it has lots of fans. I think Luckshipping should be taken off for Gymshippinmg.[[User:Alexa9966|Alexa9966]]
::I gave my reasons above. You want more? How about, with Luckshipping's inclusion, it's not simply a list between main characters and their rivals (providing minimally accepted diversity/variety)? It stands out as the 'ship that isn't so interlaced with the heavily recurring characters. Luckshipping IS popular (I traverse enough 'shipping forums to know it's a preferred Brockship in recent times), more so than TeenCareshipping, and it doesn't matter about the lack of fanworks. Gymshipping might be the more popular Brockshipping within the overall cast, but Misty has currently fallen off the scene, thus promoting her heavily goes against the grain of getting off the Advance horse and onto the DP horse.
::Why is this such a big deal?? No one's picketing my door because I didn't include Ikarishipping or Comashipping. Or Abilityshipping, or Pikashipping (which probably SHOULD be there, now that I think of it, or Altoshipping, as a pokéship). Or Egoshipping, or Twinleafshipping, or Cavaliershipping, or a Max or Tracy 'ship. Why do you CARE? It's a LIST, of '''SOME''' popular 'ships. It is not ALL, or the ONLY popular 'ships. This shouldn't be an issue. Honestly. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 13:33, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
:::I think it's uch more reasonable for GymShipping to be included instead of LuckShipping. I understand that you've traveled so many forums that have made this shipping with BrockxLucy very popular in the fandom. But I have also been to a lot of forums myself, both Pokemon-centric and not, and saw that Gym Shipping is a lot popular and rather preferred choice of Shipping for Brock. I especially take into consideration the fans who only find some leisure time in Pokemon. Many of them stated that GymShipping would be a good Shipping for Brock. I've also asked around online the rabid fans I know and found out that they recognize GymShipping more than LuckShipping. First of all, both Brock and Misty had so many interactions and hints that make this shipping somewhat solid. It also poses a threat to the popular and ever-so-strong PokeShipping. Misty had been a main character in the show and most fans know her more than Lucy. In addition to that, Lucy had only appeared in few episodes and she is never brought up by Brock again. Misty, at least, appeared in DP in a form of a lure and Brock is the one who explained to Dawn who she is. I have nothing against Lucy, as she is my favorite Frontier Brain. But LuckShipping does not overshadow GymShipping. It should be GymShipping in the list of popular ships and not LuckShipping. [[User:mikanlamperouge|mikanlamperouge]]
::::If Misty ever gets back as a regular cast member or with a near-canon 'ship that isn't Pokéshipping, we'll see about changing the line-up. But the POINT of having Luckshipping is '''diversity''' to that small, tiny list. I went over my reasons for Luck over Gym. It's also just a list of '''some''' popular 'ships, not the "most popular" (something a bunch of you guys are not understanding). I'm tired of repeating myself. I don't wish to again on the matter. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 03:19, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
:::::I honestly find BrockxNurse Joy more popular--even for kids. Seriously, I've seen so many fandom works that involve more GymShipping than LuckShipping. I have no particular interest in GymShipping, but a lot of fans still like it. The hints shown in the series were rather convincing and not just a one-time love feeling in Brock's part. I also respect this shipping and don't want this dying for the sake and remembrance of the original series. Like PokeShipping, GymShipping serves as a reminder for fans, old and new, that there were great times spent in the original series. It also goes to show that many fans still would like Misty as the one for Brock, considering all they've been through. When it comes to fandom, I agree that LuckShipping is growing, but it is at the same time a shipping with a very short romance for Brock. Misty, who had been a main character before and a fellow Gym Leader, had more chances to be with Brock. Keep in mind that Misty was always the one who dragged him away from girls. Brock has also shown his good share of care and compassion towards Misty. Many fans also find the two's relationship rather entertaining. A lot of shippers agree to the fact that GymShipping had also pose a big threat to PokeShipping. Brock and Misty have also shaped Ash into the fine trainer he is today. Fan arts, fan videos etc... I've seen more of GymShipping than LuckShipping. There are hardly some LuckShipping works.Okay, I've just stated my opinions about this, and I just want to add that I don't particularly support any shippings with Brock. I only believe that GymShipping is still popular.[[User:Akatsuki_hime|Akatsuki_hime]] 06:37, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

==Links to shippers==
Since the page is protected, some of the links, like "[[RocketShipping]]" (...relationship between Jessie and James. Thus, RocketShipping was born. ) and ShigeSato (...Satoshi (Ash) and Shigeru (Gary) would be called ShigeSato.) link directly to the shipping articles, when yet [[Bulbapedia:Shipping]] prohibits this. Should these be changed? [[User:Tails0600|Tails0600]] 05:37, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

==Is this relevant?==
Sure this query will garner a largely negative response, but are Shipping articles really necessary or conducive to the goals and spirit of Bulbapedia? I figured Bulbapedia was about categorizing and listing all the facts pertaining to the Pokémon series of games and all spin-offs, anime, products, etc. Do fan-based pairings created in a sub-culture of the tie-in anime have enough to do with Pokémon to be relevant or edifying to the users of Bulbapedia? This seems like a weird place for fanfiction and, maybe it's just me, doesn't seem to sit right with the rest of the content on the wiki. I mean, what is shipping itself if not "representing rumors, misconceptions, or opinions as fact"? [[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 9:13, 3 June 2010
:All the shipping articles are kept away from the others <s>for fear of contamination</s> and tagged that they may contain speculation rather than cold, hard fact. It's not fanfiction. The reason we include shipping is because its a valid part of the fandom - Bulbapedia endeavours to document not just ingame statistics, but also the fandom it serves... within reason, after all. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:35, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

==Update the popular list==
We really should update the list of popular ships. I am part of one of the largest Pokemon communities, and IkariShipping is supremely popular, while no one so much as mentions LuckShipping. Also, I believe NegaiShipping should be added to the list, it's popular. {{unsigned|Chiramii}}
:And I'm part of the entire Pokémon community, far and wide. The popular list will be updated in due course. But Ikari is not being put on it. If we listed /every/ popular 'ship, the list would be quite, quite long. The current listing is like it is for a reason. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 23:14, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

==Negai==
Hey, I think we should add NegaiShipping (Ash <3 Iris) to the major ships, due to that all ships with ash and the main female character of the series (in this case, Best Wishes), always go to the top in popularity, or should we wait until it is a little more popular? ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 10:59, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
:I'd like the article to have more meat to it before adding it. That's the only reason I'm holding off. It's popular, yes, but there's nothing to it, yet. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 00:03, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

== Manga Picture ==

Where did the picture of jessie and james married come from?[[User:Angel10698|Angel10698]] 03:03, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
:Probably ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'', where they do get married. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

==Wishful==
I think that we should probably add [[WishfulShipping]] to the major ships list. It seems to be an even about of shippers for Negai and Wishful so if Negai is there Wishfulshipping should be there as well. - [[User:Alexa9966]]
:I think we should wait for the two characters to debut in the US before we can even consider it so that it can gain more popularity. Right now it's no where near as popular as some ships that are not listed here. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 18:04, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

== Popular ships... too anime focused? ==

And that's coming from someone who is an anime fanatic. Don't you think some manga ships should be in there? I'm not in to the manga so I have no idea what the popular ships are other than [[SpecialShipping]] and [[ChoosenShipping]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 06:02, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:Frantic's definitely at the top of the list. Lemme scrap together a few. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 01:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== culture differences ==
should we mention that some culture definations of what's considered shippy is little different. I know that in some cultures(like in some middle eastern ones, and chinese), supposedly close friends also hold hands. in most latin american countries, some african countries, spain, and france friends greet each other with hugs and a kiss on the check. in amercian, friends hug each other.
:Not really. Any romantic gestures will be either universal or Japanese in origin. And for the most part, the hints themselves are subjective between friendship and romantic. It's not really a cultural thing. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 01:21, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

== Don't mean to nitpick... ==

I noticed that NegaiShipping is listed under popular ships and that sort of bewilders me. Is that just because it's a ship with Ash and a female companion? Because from what I seen, NegaiShipping is not that popular among fans. Which is a bit surprising. WishfulShipping seems to be more popular than it is despite their being more valid hints for Negai displayed in the anime for Iris. Especially among Japanese fans (of course CafeMocha out-popularizes them all lol). Let me try to prove my case with some well known sites for fan works. If you have a problem with these couplings, don't click the links.

Here are the tags for both Negai and Wishful on Pixiv. Please compare: [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%82%B5%E3%83%88%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Negai] vs [http://www.pixiv.net/search.php?word=%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A2%E3%82%A4&s_mode=s_tag Wishful]

Here is what search results turn up for Negai and Wishful on deviantART. Please compare: [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=NegaiShipping Negai] vs [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&q=WishfulShipping Wishful] {{tt|*|Please note that all works may not be relevant to the ships}}
*In addition to this, I'd like to include the ships' focus groups on dA. Please compare member count: [http://negaishippers.deviantart.com/ Negai] vs [http://wishfulshipping.deviantart.com/ Wishful]

Here are Ash/Iris and Cilan/Iris stories on FanFiction.net. Please compare: [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/6297/50779/0/0/1/ Negai] vs [http://www.fanfiction.net/game/Pokemon/10/0/1/1/0/50973/50779/0/0/1/ Wishful] {{tt|*|Let it be known that some of the stories may not be shipping}}

These show that NegaiShipping is lagging in popularity when compared to WishfulShipping. I am here to suggest that WishfulShipping get added to the list as well. And no, I'm not doing this because I am a Wishful shipper. If I saw evidence that it was indeed less popular than Negai I wouldn't bring it up. But if Negai is being listed, I think Wishful should be too. And if it is indeed only being listed because it is an Ash x Female companion ship, I would suggest a removal. Ash ships should only be listed if they are indeed very popular, which Negai clearly isn't. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:45, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I know this is weird but seeing their is a ship for Ash and PIkachu and Dawn and Piplup, also Brock and Croagunk, Don't you think their should be a Shipping of May and Blaziken or Misty and Togepi? [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 20:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:Those ships do exist. ContuckyFriedShipping and AllgrownupShipping (with Togetic), respectively. The thing is no one had made articles about them. But the reason is probably because they lack evidence. Misty and Togetic is more of a mother-child relationship while May and Blaziken don't have as much interaction as the ones you mentioned before.
:Maybe not notable enough for their own articles, if you had the time to research evidence, you could add them to [[User:Kenji-girl/List of anime shippings|this page here]]. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 22:08, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
*Thanks for clearing that up for me, but is shipping about relationships or romantic relationships? [[User:Emeraldben|Emeraldben]] 16:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

== Manga Popular Ships ==

There are more than just four popular manga ships. LuckyShipping has a huge following as well as OldRival and Commoner. Shouldn't we put those up as well? --[[User:Ggb81|Ggb81]] 23:50, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn't we put this ship in the more popular anime ships section? i mean, from what i've heard its become a pretty dang popular ship comparable to PearlShipping, or perhaps, its more popular.[[User:TyphlosionTrent|TyphlosionTrent]] 10:50, 2 November 2011 (UTC)
:"Some popular anime ships include:" Keyword is "some". It's a short list. Short lists don't need every popular example to make its point, or else it wouldn't be short (and would then include Comashipping, Cafemochashipping, SapphirePearlshipping, and a number of others that include Ikarishipping). Never mind that Dawn's already in two examples on the list. What does Ikarishipping bring that's different to the rest?

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White}}

'''Pokémon Black Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック''' ''Pocket Monsters Black'') and '''Pokémon White Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト''' ''Pocket Monsters White'') are the primary [[paired version]]s of [[Generation V]].

Black and White follow the trends set up by previous games in the series. Two [[player character]]s (one male and one female) travel a new region, [[Unova]], on their [[Pokémon journey]]s. This region is inhabited by various {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and unlike before, none of those available prior to [[Generation V]] can be obtained before defeating the Elite Four. The first of the new Pokémon to be featured in these games, {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}, were revealed on February 10, 2010 in [[CoroCoro]] magazine, and the [[starter Pokémon]] were revealed in May.

The games' names were revealed on the official Japanese Pokémon website on April 9, and scans from the subsequent issue of the magazine were leaked on April 10. These scans revealed some of the graphical enhancements that are featured in these games. There is a higher level of 3D graphics than in previous games, as shown in some shots of the overworld. Initial sprites could be seen for Zorua, Zoroark, and the [[player character]]s.

In addition to the improved graphics, a number of aesthetic changes have been made from previous generations, including an altered battle scene containing fully animated Pokémon battle sprites as well as a dynamic camera that changes focus to highlight specific parts of the battle. Also, when talking to people, {{wp|speech balloon}}s for dialog will appear over people's heads, rather than as simply a dialog box.

Black and White are compatible with all five [[Generation IV]] games through use of the [[Poké Transfer]]—unlike [[Pal Park]], [[item]]s cannot be held by Pokémon being sent over. Pokémon can be sent from Generation III games, as well, by transfer through Generation IV. The games also have the capacity to connect to the {{wp|Internet}}.

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section}}
{{spoilers}}
The game starts in [[Nuvema Town]] in the player's room with [[Cheren]], a childhood friend. [[Professor Juniper]] has left a gift box for the two and {{ga|Bianca}}, another one of the player's friends, who arrives a little later. The box contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] that the player can choose from. After the selection, Bianca will request a battle. When the battle is over, the room becomes cluttered due to the battle. Cheren heals both the player's and Bianca's Pokémon, and begins a battle with the player as well. If the player loses to Cheren, he will gloat about his victory. The three then go downstairs, and Cheren and Bianca will leave the house while the player's [[mom|mother]] will heal the Pokémon.

The player visits Bianca's house, where she and her father are having an argument about her going on a Pokémon journey. Bianca storms out of the house, and the player follows her to Professor Juniper's lab, where Cheren has been waiting. In the lab, Professor Juniper will give the player a chance to nickname the selected [[starter Pokémon]], and give each of the three a [[Pokédex]]. Upon leaving the lab, they will be greeted by the player's mother, who will hand everyone a [[Town Map]].

From then on, the player will set off on adventures through the Unova region. Along the way, the player will battle eight [[Gym Leader]]s, while trying to complete the [[Pokédex]]. After managing to obtain all eight [[badge]]s, the player will head to the [[Pokémon League]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] and the Champion.

However, the adventure did not go as expected as the evil [[Team Plasma]] will be encountered along the way to the Pokémon League. The player will encounter [[N]], the leader of the evil organization. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Ghetsis]], has a different goal than their leader. The player must thwart the plans of those two and save the Unova region from being destroyed.

However, unlike previous games, the player will not be battling the Champion of the Unova region when after first defeating the Elite Four; instead, [[N]] is battled. After defeating him, he promises not to separate the world of humans from the world of Pokémon.

After defeating N and Ghetsis, however, the game is not over, as there are further activities to be done, such as capturing the other [[legendary Pokémon]] in the game, re-battle the [[Elite Four]] and battle the champion, [[Adeku]], and finding the seven sages who are in various parts of the Unova region.



==Features==
Black and White returns features present in previous generations, such as day, time, abilities and the split between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move]]s. Certain ones, however, such as [[walking Pokémon|Pokémon following their Trainers]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], have been left out.

===C-Gear===
{{main|C-Gear}}
The C-Gear allows players to use certain multiplayer functions while anywhere in the game world. These functions vary with the type of communication used: wireless, Wi-Fi and infrared. The C-Gear is similar to the [[Pokétch]] in that it fills the bottom screen, but its applications are much different. To name a few applications, there is the [[Xtranciever]], where up to four players can use video chat with the wireless communications. The [[Entralink]] lets you go around the Unova world with another player, using the wireless communications. You can customize your C-Gear using the [[Pokémon Global Link]]. The IR (Infra Red) options let you battle, trade Pokemon and friend codes, and use a feeling check where the users place their finger on the touch screen. Then there is the pass-by mode, like the pass-by feature on the Nintendo 3DS. Whith the pass-by, you can close your DS and keep the wireless communications on, while you pass other Pokemon Black and White gamers, the game registers them as a friend, and puts their stats on the screen.

On the [[C-Gear]], as well as in battle, the current time is displayed in {{wp|12-hour clock|12-hour}} format, however, at the hours of 12:00 AM and PM, the hour displays as 0, rather than 12, as a {{wp|24-hour clock}}, such as that on the DS and in the [[Generation IV]] games, would display midnight.

===Pokémon Global Link===
{{main|Pokémon Global Link}}
The Pokémon Global Link is a multiplayer feature that makes use of the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and is the equivalent of the fourth generation [[GTS]]. In addition to providing the features of the GTS, it allows players to upload their save files to the Pokémon Global Link website to access the [[Pokémon Dream World]]. Players can also go to the [[Pokémon Center]] to enter Random Matchup where they can battle a random person also connected to Random Matchup. The Global Link is also the place where players can download exclusive content including C-Gear and Pokédex skins.

====Pokémon Dream World====
{{main|Pokémon Dream World}}
The Pokémon Dream World is a special feature of Black and White which is operated via an Internet website, [http://www.pokemon-gl.com/ Pokémon-GL.com]. The Dream World allows players to send a Pokémon to the Internet to obtain items and meet other Pokémon, making the website in a way such that it is a [[Generation V]] analog to the [[Pokéwalker]].

Many Pokémon that are found here are not found in the [[Unova]] region, and would otherwise have to be migrated from a [[Generation IV]] game to be used. All of the Pokémon available here are given Dream World-exclusive hidden abilities that their species cannot have by normal means.

===Entralink===
{{main|Entralink}}
The Entralink is a new feature in Pokémon Black and White which allows contact with other players over local wireless. It is a multiplayer area in central Unova; Pokémon obtained in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] can be caught here. In combination with the [[C-Gear]], it is possible to travel through Unova with other players and battle, trade and perform various multiplayer sidequests.

===Pokémon Musical===
{{main|Pokémon Musical}}
Pokémon Contests, which have been present since [[Generation III]], are replaced by the Pokémon Musicals. Similar to the Super Contests in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Trainers have to dress up their Pokémon with different accessories. The Pokémon will then compete by dancing on the theater stage with the other entrants. They are held in [[Nimbasa City]].

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}
Much like [[Generation II]] introduced a system of time, Generation V features a system of seasons. Seasons change every month, which cycles thrice for each year. With it comes aesthetic changes in the region, as well as some changes with the Pokémon found in the wild. Additionally, {{p|Deerling}} and its evolution {{p|Sawsbuck}} change forms every season. Some areas can only be accessed in certain seasons.

===Sprite animations===
While already featured in previous games, Pokémon sprites in Black and White remain animated throughout the battle. Additionally, full back sprites are now present in the games. Some, but not all, Pokémon use animated versions of their [[Generation IV]] sprites. All Trainers, on the other hand, with the exception of {{ga|Bianca}}, [[Cheren]] and [[N]], return to sprites with no animations.

===Changing music===
Whereas in previous games, the music was the same during entire battles (other than when the player's Pokémon has less than ¼ health remaining), in Generation V, things such as battle music may change with the situation. For example, when battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music changes to a remix of the main theme. The warning sound heard when a Pokémon has less than ¼ of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining has also been remixed into its own music. "Rare" Pokémon also get their own theme. Although this isn't technically new, the seasons change the music in certain places as well, though these changes are mostly the instruments heard. This is similar to the [[Time|day/night cycle]] in Generation IV.

===Triple battles===
{{main|Triple battle}}
In a triple battle, three Pokémon on each side are sent out at once. There are restrictions as to which Pokémon can attack which opponent. The Pokémon in the middle can attack all three on the other side, but the ones on either side cannot attack the Pokémon on the far side of the opposite end. However, there are some exceptions to this rule, through the use of moves such as {{m|Acrobatics}}. The Pokémon {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}} were introduced to showcase this new feature. The position of each Pokémon can be changed during the battle; however, a turn will be used up.

===Rotation battles===
{{main|Rotation battle}}
Rotation battles are similar to triple battles in that three Pokémon in each team are sent onto each side; however, they are sent out onto a circular platform. The platform can be rotated a third of the way around without wasting a turn. The Pokémon which is in the third of the circle facing the opponent is the one currently active. Strategy revolves around predicting which Pokémon the opponent will switch to and switching to the appropriate Pokémon on the player's side.

===Gyms===
Pokémon Black and White brings back the traditional eight [[Gyms]], but with it a total of eleven [[Gym Leaders]]. They are [[Cilan]], [[Chili]] and [[Cress]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively), [[Lenora]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Brycen]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Drayden]] and [[Iris]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Cilan, Chili or Cress are battled if the player has chosen the {{type|Water}}, {{type|Grass}} or {{type|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]], respectively. Drayden is battled in Pokémon Black while Iris is battled in Pokémon White.

===Elite Four===
Unlike previous games, the Elite Four can be battled in any order. After battling all four, a path to the Champion is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}) and [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}). However, the player is not able to battle the Champion before defeating [[Team Plasma]]. Later, after defeating them in a rematch, the player will face Champion [[Adeku]], who uses a variety of types. It should be noted that Caitlin is the same person present in the [[Battle Frontier (Generation IV)#Battle Castle|Battle Castle]] who was alongside her butler {{FB|Castle Valet|Darach}} in [[Generation IV]].

===New Pokémon===
:''See [[:Category:Generation V Pokémon]]''
Black and White bring a total of 156 new Pokémon, bringing the overall total to 649 from the 493 present in Generation IV. While some new Pokémon may have similarities to previously introduced Pokémon, none of the new Pokémon are related by evolution to any of the 493 introduced previously.

The first Pokémon to be revealed were {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}}, who were both featured in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. Unlike previous generations, no other new Pokémon were featured in the main {{pkmn|anime}} prior to the games' release.

* Note that while {{p|Cottonee}} and {{p|Petilil}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, there is an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]] in [[Nacrene City]] for the Pokémon which is exclusive to the other game. By extension, this also allows {{p|Whimsicott}} and {{p|Lilligant}} to be obtained in the versions they are otherwise unobtainable in.
* While {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} are only available in the wild in Black and White respectively, Illumise can [[breed]] with any male Pokémon in the {{egg3|Bug}}, {{egg3|Humanshape}} or {{p|Ditto}} to produce eggs that have an 50% chance of hatching into Volbeat. However, breeding Volbeat with Ditto will not produce Illumise eggs.

==Compatibility==
Black and White are able to connect with all [[Generation IV|fourth generation]] main series games. Pokémon from Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver are able to be traded forward to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]]. Like the transfer available in [[Pal Park]], Pokémon sent to Black and White cannot be returned to their original games. Some event Pokémon released in Generation IV have the ability to unlock more events in Generation V: specific {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Celebi}}, transferrable via an exclusive method called the [[Relocator]], unlock {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}}. Likewise, the [[Lock Capsule]] transferred from Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver yields {{tm|95|Bark Out}}, but this event has yet to take place.

Black and White also have the ability to connect to the Internet, accessing the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; Pokémon acquired in this manner are obtained in the [[Entralink|Entralink forest]]. Although the game cartridges contain infrared technology similar to that used in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Black and White are unable to connect with the [[Pokéwalker]].

==Reception==
[[File:BWFamitsu.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Black and White's perfect score]]
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} has given Pokémon Black and White Versions perfect scores. The reviewers were highly impressed with the fresh approach that the game has taken, from the graphics to the new features to the diversity of the Pokémon. The reviewers were also impressed by the Wi-Fi and PC features.

Only 14 other games have received a perfect score of 40/40, the first of which was ''{{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'', and the most recent being ''{{wp|Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker}}.

{{wp|Game Informer}} gave the games 8.75 out of 10. Videogamer.com gave the games a 9 out of 10. [[Nintendo Power]] gave the games a 9.0 out of 10.

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Black and White each have a [[Tao trio|mascot]] of the color of their counterpart version.
* Black and White are the only games where the player is required to interact with other [[non-player character|NPC]]s (in this case, their rivals) before proceeding downstairs to speak with their [[mom|mother]].
* Game Freak spent about one and a half years developing the story and characters.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=202 Game Freak's blog]</ref>
* Several bonus items were available with pre-orders of the games in various countries:
** In Japan, people could receive a {{p|Reshiram}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon Black and a {{p|Zekrom}} sound drop by pre-ordering Pokémon White.
** In the USA, {{wp|Toys "R" Us}} offered Reshiram and Zekrom wall clings to anyone who pre-ordered the game.
** In the UK, {{wp|Gamestation}} offered three styluses for the DS, each one featuring one of the [[Unova]] [[starter Pokémon]] to anyone who pre-ordered a game.
* The credits of the Japanese versions are shown in English if kanji mode is selected.
* The font used by the Japanese versions is the same one seen in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|pre-release media]] of the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pokémon Black and White are the first main series games to require the version mascot to be specifically ''caught'', and not merely battled. The story will not continue if {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}} or {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} has not been caught, and will keep acting as if the battle had not occurred yet.
** However, if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]], the game does not require the Pokémon to be caught; instead, the Pokémon appears at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] after defeating it at [[N's Castle]].
* In the international versions, Pokémon names are no longer displayed in all capital letters, following the trend set in [[Generation IV]] of no longer displaying the names of characters, items and locations in all capital letters.
* When the games were advertised or reported on [[Pokémon Sunday]], the song ''{{wp|Black or White}}'' by {{wp|Michael Jackson}} was played multiple times as a reference to the titles of the games.
* These games are the first [[version|main series]] {{pkmn|games}} to be available in Europe before the United States, being released 2 days earlier. However, these are not the first Pokémon titles, being preceded by the spin-off games [[Pokémon Dash]] and [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* The slogan used in the commercials for these games is "Start From a New Beginning".
* When the Pokémon Zorua and Zoroark were revealed to the public, it was the first time that 2 Pokémon were unveiled from a new upcoming Generation at once.
