'''Pokémon Art Academy''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンアートアカデミー''' ''Pokémon Art Academy'') is a [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] {{wp|Fictional crossovers in video games|crossover}} of the [[Pokémon]] and {{wp|Art Academy (video game)|Art Academy}} series. It was released in Japan on June 19, 2014, Europe on July 4, 2014, {{pmin|Australia}} and {{pmin|New Zealand}} on July 5, 2014, and North America on October 24, 2014.

The game was first announced on April 30, 2014.



==Gameplay==
The player is enrolled in the Pokémon Art Academy under [[Professor Andy]], who teaches them how to draw Pokémon. Pokémon Art Academy features 40 art lessons, ranging from easy tutorials to hard complicated designs, along with free draw mode and templates. There are three courses made up of multiple lessons: Normal with 17, Apprentice with 10, and Graduate with 7. After all courses are passed, three bonus lessons unlock that teach the player how to draw [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.

The game also includes the function of the 3DS Camera, to take images for reference while drawing. Art can be posted onto Miiverse.

===Free Paint===
The player can draw using a variety of unlockable an downloadable reference images, a photo from the 3DS Camera, or no image at all as a guide. Images unlocked through in-game events feature an optional step-by-step guide and multiple templates. All tools and colors are available for use. The player can select a custom background color, use any unlocked in-game background image, or use an image from the 3DS Camera.

===Quick Sketch===
The game features a total of 14 unlockable mini-lessons, called "Quick Sketches" in-game. These allow the player to draw simple inages using a limited selection of tools and colors. These are unlocked at certain points throughout the main lessons. The quick sketches are designed to help reinforce skills learned in each section of the main course.

==Downloadable references==
Reference images for {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} were available for download for a limited time. Groudon's reference could be downloaded from July 4, 2014 to July 20, 2014 and from August 4, 2014 to August 17, 2014 while Kyogre's reference could be downloaded from July 21, 2014 to August 3, 2014 and from August 18, 2014 to August 31, 2014.

In Australia and New Zealand, a {{Shiny}} {{me|Gengar}} reference image could be downloaded from October 8, 2014 to October 14, 2014.

In Europe, a {{p|Rayquaza}} reference could be downloaded from November 15, 2014 to December 12, 2014.

SamurottMaster4747: /* Victory Road */

{{incomplete}}
==Ever Grande City==
[[File:Ever Grande City E.png|thumb|200px|left|Ever Grande City|100px]]
You will need to teach {{m|Waterfall}} to one of you Pokémon in order to get to this city. (the HM for Waterfall is obtained from Wallace after {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} have stopped fighting). There's nothing here except a cave entrance and a Pokémon Center. Heal up before you head into the cave— it's {{ho|Victory Road}}, your final challenge before you face the [[Elite Four]] and [[Wallace|Champion]] at the {{ho|Pokémon League}}.

==Victory Road==

[[File:Victory Road B2F E.png|275px|thumb|Victory Road B2F]]
'''In order to get through this cave, you will need {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Flash}}, and {{m|Waterfall}}.''' There are high-leveled Pokémon and tough Trainers here. '''Don't continue unless your Pokémon are at least level 45.''' Bring a lot of healing items, because you will need them! Bring a lot of [[Super Potion]]s and several [[Hyper Potion]]s, as well as a few [[Full Heal]]s. Don't buy [[Max Potion]]s or [[Full Restore]]s because they are expensive. You'll want to explore every inch of this cave to get all the items and to train enough for the {{ho|Pokémon League}}.

If you're ready, head into the cave. You'll want to explore as much as possible, because you truly need the training. You will be fighting Pokémon Level 55 and higher at the Pokémon League! That is why using [[Repel]]s is not recommended— all the battles will force you to train enough. Be aware that once you cross the first bridge (you need to get to the ladder in the northwest corner to get through Victory Road), {{ga|Wally}} will battle you.

===If you're truly lost...===
If you are truly, hopelessly lost, here is the simplest path through Victory Road: On the ground floor, go north to the second platform of stairs and across the bridge (Wally will show up to battle you here) and down the ladder in the northwest corner. Go over the bridge on B1F, down the stairs and then south a bit. Around the corner, there is a ladder. Go down it to B2F. Surf across the water, climb the waterfall and Surf around to go down the other waterfall. Surf to the bit of land with the ladder on it. Climb the ladder and go south and around a corner to the east. Climb the ladder that you find, and you'll be back on the first floor. Go up the stairs out of the little crater you were in, across the bridge, and down the other stairs. Go north as far as you can, and to the east is the exit.

==Ever Grande City (northern half)==
The straightforward path at the end of Victory Road leads to an impressive building at the top of the city, where your final challenge awaits! The next section of this walkthrough will cover your battles against the [[Elite Four]] and [[Wallace|Champion]].

'''Draining Kiss''' (Japanese: '''ドレインキッス''' ''Drain Kiss'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fairy}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

==Effect==
Draining Kiss does damage and restores the user's HP by 75% of the damage dealt.

If the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}}, the HP restored is increased by 30%. Big Root does not increase the damage dealt.

If the target has the Ability {{a|Liquid Ooze}}, the user will lose the amount of HP it would have gained instead.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Fairy}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|XY}}|The user steals the target's energy with a kiss. The user's HP is restored by over half of the damage taken by the target.}}

Although the glitch 'Pokemon' doesn't evolve, or have a designated engineering code, it does increase its health and attack stats progressively. At levels 19 and 43 it increases its stats dramatically, that of a Pokemon evolving via a stone.

{{redirect|?????|the dummied out items in Generation I|List of dummied out items#?????}}
'''?????''' are [[glitch Pokémon]] which appear in [[Generation II]] games. The game resorts to the error handler "?????" to name the non-existent {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with index numbers 000, 252, 254 and 255 if they were to appear (not including 253, since index number 253 is used for [[glitch Egg|Eggs]]). All ????? have no cry.

==Appearance==
Although all of the variants of ????? appear identical (as just a nonsensical assortment of various graphics from other parts of the game), they each use a different palette. For example, #252 appears gold and #000 appears blue.

All variations of ????? lack their own battle sprites besides the one seen by the Trainer battling it. When a Trainer uses any variation of ?????, it will borrow the last sprite used in the battle area. This can be the original Trainer that appears before the battle starts, or another Pokémon that has been switched out. Any of these sprites will have the color palette that the particular form of ????? uses.

Since such data is undefined, the basic tileset source of the sprite of any variation of ????? depends on the last interface loaded into the game's RAM, this is usually the previous tileset basis of the main map interface, but if the player opens the Bag then closes it the game will attempt to use the menu as a source for the sprite of ?????.

When viewing the status screen of any ?????, it may not render correctly and may even cause the game to stop functioning correctly. Usually the status screen reports an abnormal value under "level up" that indicates the quantity required to reach the next level. Different forms of ????? have different types. The game will often display that one of these glitches is a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

==Obtaining==
All variants of ????? can be obtained through the [[Celebi Egg glitch]] or by making a clone. Sometimes a clone that was cloned multiple times becomes one of the variants of ?????. Attempting to [[trade]] [['M (00)]] onto {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} with the [[Time Capsule]] will cause it to appear as a ????? with an [[index number]] of 00. Hex 00 evolves from [[#Hex FC|hex FC]] and [[#Hex FE|hex FE]].

==Pokédex data==
===Crystal===
{{GlitchResearch|An image of what actually is there. }}
Unlike some variants of {{?|10}}, all of the ????? glitches have Pokédex data which is undefined; however, all of the ????? glitches have a footprint. The footprint is identical to that of {{p|Donphan}} with 000, 252, 254, or 255 printed in the middle of it for the form with the same [[index number]].
===Gold/Silver===
====000====
After being caught, the battle with ????? will continue, and ????? will flee, causing a [[Glitch dimension]] crash with a completely-white screen. Additionally, it is of note that while the footprint says "256", the Pokédex number is shown as "000". This is probably because 256 is the same as 0 in a 8-bit binary number.

====252====
Hex FC's Pokédex entry matches that of 00, excluding the species and number.

====254====
This form of ????? immediately crashes the game to a [[Glitch dimension]], and as such doesn't have a true Pokédex entry.

====255====
This form of ????? has two blank pages before its actual Pokédex entry. Its entry also requires pressing a multiple times.

===Cloaking abilities===
{{main|Johto guard glitch}}
????? Hex FF will act as 'cancel' on the party Pokémon screen. ????? cannot be healed via a Pokémon Center as the game will take it to be the end Pokémon slot. Therefore, if this glitch is placed above other Pokémon in the party screen, those Pokémon also cannot be healed. However, ????? and the Pokémon below it can be healed with items.

This type of ????? cannot be deposited because it will replace itself and all Pokémon below it with "CANCEL".

The hexadecimal FF variant of this glitch can be taken into the [[Time Capsule]] to 'hide' the Pokémon below it which did not exist in [[Generation I]]. "CANCEL" is allowed through the time machine because it is essential on all [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] Pokémon games. Any Pokémon below it will appear as [['M (00)]]{{sup/1|RB}} or [[3TrainerPoké $]]{{sup/1|Y}}.

I've been having a few issues with the main page. I can't click on the 'discussion', 'view source', 'history' or 'watch' buttons. Those buttons work on most other pages, so as far as I know, it's just this page. Also, these errors only occurred after the update.

== Just curious; ==

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too?

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page. Now, I don't remember tapping anything on the screen but there's a chance I did without noticing it. Either way, I'm not convinced it was accidental tapping. What happened is that I suddenly got redirected multiple times through the ad network until I reached [http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com/pt/sx/iphone/home/updates/?revid=66054&campaign=20996&viewSpeed= this], which is a pornographic site.

== Userspace edit limit - pages to be put into mainspace ==

I am going to be writing a major section for an article here, but it will be spread across several days, and want to merge it all in to the article at one time. So I am asking if the userspace edit limit applies to sandbox-like pages which will have information that will be put into the main namespace. So...does it? [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 00:23, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:Just keep it under 3, preview, don't do them within minutes of each other, and don't forget about the mainspace. The staff are more lenient on those kind of pages. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 00:27, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
::We're more lenient with stuff for the mainspace, but they're not unrestricted. I have to ask why the section can't be written into the actual article. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:06, 12 November 2012 (UTC)
:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.
:::And the main reason I ask is because the top bar is currently limiting userspace edits to 1/day, not the usual 3/day we had for quite a while. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 01:40, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them. It is not a browser problem, since it happened with opera, chrome mobile and another mobile browser. I don't know if the fact I'm in Italy matters. I wrote down the site I get redirected to when I'm on the tablet. I don't have the desktop site because now I usually use my tablet, and I didn't think of writing down the URL. I first thought to add the link hidden in this discussion, but anybody could have still opened it. If you need it I can send it by email.

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there. Thank you for replying. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 15:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

==Long-Running Script==

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

1. Click "stop script," and then be redirected to a page that says Bulbagarden has been shut down permanently, and be unable to go back.

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

Sometimes there is a rather medium sized space between the "Due to a security issue..." message and the "Welcome to Bulbapedia!" message.

== Prerelease policy suggestion ==

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''.

:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time.

::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself?

== Ampersands in titles ==

For articles that contain ampersands (& ←like this), clicking the edit top of page link or new section link leads to a window where you end up editing a page with a title that goes up to before the first ampersand.

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically? (I know this is totally not a priority and thus will absolutely not happen at least until the XY info is all put up, but I thought I'd suggest it to be implemented at some point in the future.)

== About the "characteristics" of types... ==

I noticed that within each page on the individual Pokémon types, there is a 'Characteristics' section, which describes both defensive and offensive characteristics. However, is this all really necessary? Firstly, this seems like Smogon standards, and shouldn't belong on a site that discusses only facts. Second, each 'Characteristics' section says pretty much the same thing. "It's good overall." This is just my opinion, but I don't think it's really that needed. [[User:Zorocario|Zorocario]] ([[User talk:Zorocario|talk]]) 02:13, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
:I agree. It's opinionated and, in my experience, tends to attract editors who (A) add more egregiously opinionated material that just has to be removed and (B) are especially unfamiliar with our standards of notability. I'd love to see the sections axed. All of the important unopinionated information in them is already given in the type effectiveness and average stat sections on the same pages.

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them. It is not a browser problem, since it happened with opera, chrome mobile and another mobile browser. I don't know if the fact I'm in Italy matters. I wrote down the site I get redirected to when I'm on the tablet. I don't have the desktop site because now I usually use my tablet, and I didn't think of writing down the URL. I first thought to add the link hidden in this discussion, but anybody could have still opened it. If you need it I can send it by email.

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there. Thank you for replying. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 15:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

==Long-Running Script==

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

1. Click "stop script," and then be redirected to a page that says Bulbagarden has been shut down permanently, and be unable to go back.

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

First of all, what is this "long-running script?" And, how in tarnation does the "Bulbagarden shut down" message appear? And, can those errors be fixed somehow? [[User:Spyspotter|Spyspotter]] [[User talk:Spyspotter|says…]] Edit the mainspace, [[Special:ListUsers|kids!]] 02:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

==Problems?==
Every time I want to access a page, it asks if I want to download it. It is only after a click the link around 20 times that I can go the page without having to download it. For example, this is what I get if I want I click "Random":

On the front page, there is no light grey "Search" word in the search box, and the UTC clock has disappeared. Sometimes there is a rather medium sized space between the "Due to a security issue..." message and the "Welcome to Bulbapedia!" message. Also, sometimes the green background turns into a white background.

== Prerelease policy suggestion ==

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''.

:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time.

::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself?

== X&Y party/item sprites ==

You can rip the 2D sprites seen in screens like the inventory and Pokémon lists by using a 3DS capture card and ripping them the classic way (i.e. taking screenshots and cutting the sprites out).

== Ampersands in titles ==

For articles that contain ampersands (& ←like this), clicking the edit top of page link or new section link leads to a window where you end up editing a page with a title that goes up to before the first ampersand. For example: editing [[Black & White TCG Series merchandise|this page]] in this manner leads to editing [[Black|this page]] instead. In other words, the ampersand performs a cutoff. How can this be resolved? [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 23:00, 17 September 2013 (UTC)
:That doesn't seem to be happening for me. The ampersands that are part of the page titles end up being replaced by the character code "%26", thus avoiding the cutoff, when I go to edit the page you used as an example. Out of curiosity, what web browser is this happening on? [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 23:18, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically? (I know this is totally not a priority and thus will absolutely not happen at least until the XY info is all put up, but I thought I'd suggest it to be implemented at some point in the future.)

:"Sprites" in the traditional sense don't really exist anymore; Pokémon in Gen VI are represented by fully in-motion 3D models with no single "still image" to really take as a sprite. That's probably why in the Evolution section of any Pokémon page, you'll see official artwork instead of the current sprite like there used to be.

I noticed that within each page on the individual Pokémon types, there is a 'Characteristics' section, which describes both defensive and offensive characteristics.

== Problems with main page ==

I've been having a few issues with the main page. I can't click on the 'discussion', 'view source', 'history' or 'watch' buttons. Those buttons work on most other pages, so as far as I know, it's just this page. Also, these errors only occurred after the update.

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too?

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page.

:::I can keep it under 3 edits a day - it probably would be only 1 or 2. The section is large and technical, and I do not want to post an incomplete work into the mainspace - it could cause users to flood the talk page, edit it themselves (which would be horrible for the WIP), some might revert (with the way I work, initial versions might not end up looking like professional content, especially with notes all over the place in comments), and, worst comes to worst, I might keep an edit lock open for a period of 3 hours at a time - hardly an appropriate amount of time for mainspace. I would be making judicious use of the Preview functionality, as I am not entirely familiar with WikiCode. I will be merging the work into the appropriate mainspace page when it is completed.
:::I also wonder how capable Bulbapedia is of linking external images. The WIP section will probably have WIP images (hosted on my domain), and I would prefer to link those externally rather than uploading to the Archives for now, mainly to reduce server load.

== Redirect to adult sites? ==

I'm writing this to report a serious problem I've had since a few months: while I'm on bulbagarden sites, I get redirected to an adult site and I can't return on the previous page. At first I thought it was a bad ad I opened inadvertently, but now I know for sure it is not that case. It first happened around december, and it got worse within the time... By now it almost happens once each fifty pages I open more or less. I usually get this problem on Bulbapedia, but it also happened once on the archives. It still haven't got this problem on the other bulbagarden sites but I think it's because I usually don't go on them.

== "Synopsis" ==
Bulbapedia is sprawling with examples of lengthy, detailed, written accounts of short works of fiction which are (downright absurdly) labeled "Synopsis". Anyone who believes that this labeling is appropriate should consult a dictionary. They need to be either rewritten as actual synopses, or simply relabeled. I am in favor of the former, since the aforementioned (comparative) length and detail of the summaries, coupled with narratives that are often completely off the mark as summaries, but rather retells the work of fiction anew (as a story itself), render many of the site's "Synopsis"-sections highly unencyclopedic. I post this to engage in dialogue, so tell me what you think should(n't) be done, please. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 14:41, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
:Yeah, they should probably be called "Plot". I don't think we should remove massive amounts of information to just make them actually comply with the definition of a word that was incorrectly used to label them—simply, the label should be changed. I agree, a lot of them are basically stories themselves, and they shouldn't be. These sections should be written detailing what happened in present tense, not using any kind of emotive language. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:26, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
::Then we agree on that much. How will we go about renaming the sections? I suggested those massive amounts of information for removal under the assumption that an actual synopsis, and little more, was the degree of plot summary initially/ideally desired by an encyclopedia such as Bulbapedia. In other words, I believe that the scene-by-scene relaying, attempting to substitute the subject media content, as opposed to summarize its key points and provide the reader with an overview and some understanding of the work, is uncharacteristic of an encyclopedia, more fitting as content for other kinds of websites, or Bulbapedia's appendix namespace. That's my opinion, included since it ties in with the topic I brought up for discussion, but I realize that it isn't going places. As for ridding the sections of emotive language, I presume that this is already a long-established work in progress, carried out by editors who happen to read these sections, so nothing new there. Thank you for replying. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 15:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

==Long-Running Script==

Whenever I visit a page that isn't in the main or talk namespace, an error message will pop up 90% of the time and say that bulbapedia has stopped functioning due to a "long-running script." I then have 2 options:

1. Click "stop script," and then be redirected to a page that says Bulbagarden has been shut down permanently, and be unable to go back.

2. Click "cancel," and then watch my computer crash. The only way to fix that would be to unplug it.

First of all, what is this "long-running script?" And, how in tarnation does the "Bulbagarden shut down" message appear? And, can those errors be fixed somehow? [[User:Spyspotter|Spyspotter]] [[User talk:Spyspotter|says…]] Edit the mainspace, [[Special:ListUsers|kids!]] 02:49, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

==Problems?==
Every time I want to access a page, it asks if I want to download it. It is only after a click the link around 20 times that I can go the page without having to download it. For example, this is what I get if I want I click "Random":

I tested this out with Firefox and Google Chrome, still the same error. Along with this, certain pages are styled strangely - for the editing box for editing the talkpage of the main page, the editing box is rather tiny, and the character palette has all clickable symbols underlined, any of these symbols when clicked doing nothing (with the exception of taking you to the top of the page).

On the front page, there is no light grey "Search" word in the search box, and the UTC clock has disappeared. Sometimes there is a rather medium sized space between the "Due to a security issue..." message and the "Welcome to Bulbapedia!" message. Also, sometimes the green background turns into a white background.

Also, some pages are displayed without the stylesheet.--[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 14:17, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

== Prerelease policy suggestion ==

(Not sure whether there's a good/easily-seen place to put this, so I'm gonna put it here Just Because.) As I'm sure most people are aware, the disconnect between the Archives and Bulbapedia means that some images are stuck in their old forms for days, weeks, or months after they've been updated on the Archives. Judging by prerelease Pokémon reveals so far this generation, we're getting Sugimori art within hours or a couple of days after we put low-quality CoroCoro scans on our pages, and then the Sugimori art takes a long time to get repaired on our pages. This makes our pages look unpolished for everyone and {{DL|User talk:Reshi643|Would you please|confuses new users, leading them to unnecessarily suggest that the art be updated even though it technically already has been}}. To neutralize this problem, '''I suggest that low-quality prerelease scans use a different image file name than the final artwork'''. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:49, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
:As problematic as it is, one of the first reasons against it I have is that if they are uploaded as separate files, we lose the history of the file, and what we had at a specific point in time.

::Point taken; I hadn't thought about that. As an alternative approach to a solution, is there any possibility of finding a way to lessen the syncing problem itself?

:::On the other hand, keeping the magazine scans as separate images would allow us to keep the history of the Bulbanews articles, in that we would have magazine croppings on the BN article when that was all we had, but the clean artworks when we got those.

== Names of Pokemon games in general ==
Hey! Just wanted to bring this giant post I just typed elsewhere to your attention, instead of retyping the same info over again: http://vgmdb.net/forums/showpost.php?p=56272&postcount=3
In short, Japan stopped using "Pocket Monsters" outside of the katakana when R/S dropped, and at the same time Nintendo as a whole started up a consistent branding scheme (actually I'm not ''entirely'' sure how it scales to ''everything'' else but) that most people don't seem to notice (only with X/Y has this been changed (for the better)). Because of this, I believe we (and Wikipedia, and everywhere else) needs to rethink how we handle the game titles. There's a reason things like the albums refer to themselves as "Pokémon", and it's not to be "import friendly".
If I've come across as a bit brusque, I apologize, but I find it a bit silly that this has gone unnoticed for a decade! [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 08:26, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

:I get your point that in Japan the English name of the games is "Pokémon Ruby" etc. after RS, but I'm not entirely sure what you're suggesting. The italic English text next to Japanese names is supposed to be a translation of the text, and there is a katakana difference between "Pokémon" and "Pocket Monsters", so they are translated as such where appropriate. It is important to note that the Japanese text does say "Pocket Monsters", as in Japan the main series is officially the "Pocket Monsters series" [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/]. Also, it's worth noting that Pokémon Stadium does the exact opposite of what you mentioned: the katakana says "Pokémon", but the Latin text says "Pocket Monsters" (for all three games). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:15, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

::Ah, sorry. I'm suggesting that we should use "Pokémon" as that transliteration for these later games instead of "Pocket Monsters", because that's what Nintendo does... we do the same for Pokemon themselves, for example. The trick is that you really want to avoid transliterating if you can help it; you can produce multiple official titles out of what looks like one. Basically, what's happening is that you have a katakana (here, anyway) title that is always used within itself, and a Roman-based title that is always used within itself--"進撃の巨人" and "Attack on Titan" is similar--two ''completely'' different titles used within the same context to refer to the same work (at the same time). That page may say "ポケットモンスターシリーズ", but you can bet it would have used "Pokémon" if they could help it.
::And yeah, with the Stadium case, those games were part of the old branding, which used "Pokemon" whenever it pleased. Technically, "Pokémon" is actually part of a "phrase shortening" trend that's pretty common in Japanese ("Famicom"'s a great example, and this is also why the term is even "Pokémon" to begin with), so it was occasionally used by Nintendo wherever they felt; Pokemon Puzzle Challenge became "Pokemon no Panepon" (heh, "Panepon" is another example of that shortening, being short for Panel de Pon) for its Japanese release, for example.
::(Fun fact: technically the katakana isn't actually "Pocket Monsters" transliterated; there's a common tendency (it's totally random!) to remove the final S/Z sound at the end of plurals in these transliterations, so it's ''really'' "Pocket Monster". "ポケットモンスターシリーズ" is a great example of with and without, in fact. Platinum is similar; the katakana actually reads "platina" (a word usually used to refer to alloys of platinum) and at least [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/otanosimi/platina/aikotoba/ one Nintendo website] uses this.) [[User:Despatche|Despatche]] ([[User talk:Despatche|talk]]) 06:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
:::I think I get your point, but the problem is that the "English name in Japan" is not an accurate translation of the actual text. Pokémon names are only alternate romanizations, not alternate phrases entirely. Pokémon and Pocket Monsters are used distinctly, so the translation should accurately reflect this. In your Attack on Titan example, were we to have an article on it (it's not relevant to Pokémon, so we shouldn't), it would be formatted as
::::'''Attack on Titan''' (Japanese: '''進撃の巨人''' ''Advancing Titans'')
:::However, I do take your point that it would be useful to note the official Asian-English names of the games, but the problem is that in the case of Pearl (for example), we have ポケットモンスター officially as ''Pokémon'', but nothing for パール. (Asian-English is a term used in Yu-Gi-Oh, so I'm borrowing it here for clarity; there may be a better term, but it will do for the circumstances.) For the record, platinum in Japanese comes from the Spanish word "platina" rather than the English one, thus why it is formatted as such (or at least, that's what I remember being told by my high-school Japanese teacher). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:50, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
::::1. "Pokémon" is most definitely a distinct title from "ポケモン", even. Titles are not about meaning, not ever; they are always about physical structure. It's pretty obvious that there are three different titles used (for whatever reasons there may be) to refer to the same work: "Pokémon", "ポケモン", and "ポケットモンスター". What else is there to it? (As a sidenote, I disprove of the preference for translations, specifically over romaji... where can I open a discussion about that?)
::::2. That sounds like a pretty good case for not having romaji ''at all'', doesn't it? Fortunately, Nintendo at least provides "Platinum" here (nearly every single Japanese page on the game uses it), and likely provides the same for the other games (at the least, they outright use "Pokémon <version>" on every soundtrack album since Ruby and Sapphire's).

I know we changed the Pokemon artwork images to a square ratio for practical reasons, not aesthetic ones, but now that they're the standard, other articles with Sugimori images — [[Valerie]] is the one I noticed, but most humans' articles, in fact — look abnormal because they break this new standard. Can we just apply the square requirement to all official art used in infoboxes so things match aesthetically? (I know this is totally not a priority and thus will absolutely not happen at least until the XY info is all put up, but I thought I'd suggest it to be implemented at some point in the future.)

:This was actually something we bought up whilst making the decision to square the images of Pokemon.

:"Sprites" in the traditional sense don't really exist anymore; Pokémon in Gen VI are represented by fully in-motion 3D models with no single "still image" to really take as a sprite. That's probably why in the Evolution section of any Pokémon page, you'll see official artwork instead of the current sprite like there used to be. The Sprites section may end up being something that only goes up to Gen V now. As for the icons? I saw some Gen VI icons around a few days ago but they're since been removed, apparently.

So I'm sure most of you have heard about the three legendary event Pokemon recently found in the coding for X and Y. So I want to ask: Why do we not have pages for them?

Obviously we don't have any info yet, and I understand that, but we had a page for [[Trevenant]] long before we even knew his English name. Couldn't we make a page for them and not have any info for them (even PokeDex number)? I know they're real, I went into the X and Y GTS and saw for my self. So I think we need pages for them.

Additionally, boxes containing the Quartz hack have an E for Everyone rating pasted onto it, yet that hack's content would lend more to an M for Mature for strong language, use of alcohol, and mature sexual themes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:41, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

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

Hacked games are not necessarily games that are based on main series games. 'Hacked' is just a software term and has nothing to do with illegal measures. Some so-called hacked games are IPS patches for main series ROMs and if these ROMs are illegal then playing a patched version of the ROM will also be illegal. However a game that was hacked together by someone that isn't a patch for a different ROM is not necessarily illegal. Always remember that in many countries possession/receipt of stolen property/goods is a crime, though. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, the patch files are legal, as they don't contain copyrighted materials. However, it is illegal to use the patch file, as you need a ROM to do so, and a ROM is illegal as it violates copyright. The ROM download is illegal because it contains the copyrighted data from the original game. However, this is only true of hacks, and not of bootlegs, which are completely legal as far as I know. [[User:Quadzar|Red is not Ash. (Quadzar)]] 05:44, 30 November 2011 (UTC)
::Individual Pokémon ''names'' are trademarked, as is the word "Pokémon".

::::If it isn't called a Pokemon game, doesn't contain Pokemon and is created from scratch (using even scraps of code from the games would be considered illegal), then it depends on how similar it is to the Pokemon games. If the mechanics are too similar (e.g. replaced everything related to Pokemon with something else but kept the same mechanics) then it could still be considered to be in breach of copyright, and Nintendo could still take action if it thought the mechanics were too similar. So yes, I believe bootleg games would be legal, provided that they aren't Pokemon games, don't contain Pokemon, and don't play too similarly to Pokemon games.

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

== To do ==

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

==Exact Bootlegs==

I was wondering if we should add a section about the fact that some people take the actual games and not remakes or revisions and bootleg them onto GBA cartridges and sell them over ebay, and amazon under the sold by users section. It happened to me on amazon and I have read other accounts of it happening to other people. One of the common things that happens with these bootlegs is there is compatibility issues when trying to use dongle method or the pal park, as well as the emerald save data being erased when Diamond or Pearl is loaded.

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

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

== Pokemon Uranium ==

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

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

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

:The point of this article is ''not'' to advertise fan games. It is to list ''extremely notable'' fan games that had a major effect on the fandom. Games that, were they not ''illegal'', would easily be given their own page. Should this article become simply a list of hack games that are considered 'good' so that people could find them, it would likely be deleted. As it is, this article is walking a fine line between "okay" and "must be deleted to prevent Nintendo taking down the whole site". As a large site, we must hold ourselves to higher standards in regards to legality than smaller sites. The sections that exist should not be expanded either. Brief details, nothing more.

==Crystal GBA/Crystal Shards==

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

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

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

== A couple of possible additions ==

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

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

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

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

So I have this bootleg that is named "Pokemon Silver."

:Also agreed. If you look on any of the forums that the patches to the games are posted on (projectpokemon, pokecommunity, gbatemp, etc.), you will see, almost 100% of the time, the words "ROM Hack(s)," or as Gou said, sometimes just "hacks."

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

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

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

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

Hacked games are not necessarily games that are based on main series games. 'Hacked' is just a software term and has nothing to do with illegal measures. Some so-called hacked games are IPS patches for main series ROMs and if these ROMs are illegal then playing a patched version of the ROM will also be illegal. However a game that was hacked together by someone that isn't a patch for a different ROM is not necessarily illegal. Always remember that in many countries possession/receipt of stolen property/goods is a crime, though. [[User:BobzBlobz|BobzBlobz]] 11:21, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, the patch files are legal, as they don't contain copyrighted materials. However, it is illegal to use the patch file, as you need a ROM to do so, and a ROM is illegal as it violates copyright. The ROM download is illegal because it contains the copyrighted data from the original game. However, this is only true of hacks, and not of bootlegs, which are completely legal as far as I know.

::::If it isn't called a Pokemon game, doesn't contain Pokemon and is created from scratch (using even scraps of code from the games would be considered illegal), then it depends on how similar it is to the Pokemon games. If the mechanics are too similar (e.g. replaced everything related to Pokemon with something else but kept the same mechanics) then it could still be considered to be in breach of copyright, and Nintendo could still take action if it thought the mechanics were too similar. So yes, I believe bootleg games would be legal, provided that they aren't Pokemon games, don't contain Pokemon, and don't play too similarly to Pokemon games.

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

== To do ==

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

I was wondering if we should add a section about the fact that some people take the actual games and not remakes or revisions and bootleg them onto GBA cartridges and sell them over ebay, and amazon under the sold by users section. It happened to me on amazon and I have read other accounts of it happening to other people. One of the common things that happens with these bootlegs is there is compatibility issues when trying to use dongle method or the pal park, as well as the emerald save data being erased when Diamond or Pearl is loaded.

I bet 100 smackers that it's unnotable. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:12, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
:And because you've heard of it, it becomes notable? We haven't got videos on any other hacks either, does that make them unnotable?

There's a hack of...I believe it's Pokemon Red, or maybe Blue...possibly Yellow...anyway, there's a bootleg called Pokemon Team Rocket Edition. Here's the link: [http://www.vizzed.com/vizzedboard/retro/game.php?id=5072&system=gb&name=Pokemon-TRETeam-Rocket-Edition]

I just wanna know if these can be added. {{unsigned|LoadOfMentos}}

This site has many of the hacks already on the page [http://wahackpokemon.com/en/], how is it decided which ones are famous enough to put on the page? For example at the moment I'm playing Pokemon Sienna which is a FireRed patch. It has pokemon from the first 3 generations and some new sprites/hacked pokemon. The storyline is also unique in that player choices affect the course of the storyline, e.g. it is advertised on the above website that a player can choose to join Team Rocket.

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

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

Sam says: Pokémon Creepy Black Version isn't a Real Pokémon game. Much like it's successor, Pokémon Lost Silver, they are fake Pokémon games created based on a creepypasta in which regards the game itself. Yes, these are indeed hacked games, albiet very known ones, and should be added to the list as soon as possible.

==PokéMon Arcoiris Version==
Well i just recently bought a game called Pokémon Arcoris (still dont got it tho, its in mail) and im supprised its not here already. Its pretty cool and you can catch Shadow Lugia, it allows you to be Misty or Ash for characters and your starter is Pikachu. Its based on the orange islands, and is a hack of Emerald/Ruby/Sapphire. MUCH MORE INFO SOON WHEN I GOT IT.[[User:Rsrdaman]]

==Emerald 386 and FireRed Omega?==
Would these two be considered notable? At least on the Nuzlocke forum, they seem to be very popular and well known, and so I was wondering if at least a mention of them could be made on this page. The basic premise of these as I understand them is that all of the Pokémon up to the third generation are included in these games. I'm afraid I don't know much about them, but they seem easy to look up and I was surprised there wasn't a mention of any sort here. I apologize if this isn't the right place.

== Pokemon Uranium ==

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

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

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

I saw a game labelled Pokémon Crystal on Ebay but the game was a GBA cartridge. I bought it out of curiosity and the title screen calls it Pokémon Crystal Shards.

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

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

== A couple of possible additions ==

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

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

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

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

===Surfing outside [[Turnback Cave]]===
I just thought that I'd point out that you can {{m|surf}} outside Turnback Cave with no music. What I did was I used {{m|Rock Climb}}, then immedietly got onto my [[List of key items in Generation IV#Bicycle|Bike]], then rode up to the water and press A (to surf). This all happened in a period of about 4 - 5 seconds, and I surfed around on the pond with no surfing music. It seems to only work the first time you try (I've done it twice), and this is for {{v2|Diamond}}. ~[[User:Takharii|Takhar]][[User talk:Takharii|eon]] 01:00, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::Yes, what I meant was: I've had this happen to me on two separate occasions (different days).

===Glitch with supereffectiveness using a move normally not very effective===

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IeGdpFRGtQ

As seen here, {{m|Discharge}} was used by {{p|Maggyo}} against a {{p|Denchura}}. Strangely, it was deemed supereffective by the game. Should this be added? - [[User:050294|050294]] 03:31, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

===Kecleon glitch===
The following comments come from the talk page of the Kecleon glitch, which was merged into this page --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:31, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

:::Per SnorlaxMonster --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 14:14, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

====Cause====
Note: This is based somewhat on presumed data. I'm pretty sure the game does this though.

Couldn't the cause of this come from the Kecleon only aiming for whoever its item or attacked it? If the Pass Scarf causes it to attack the enemy, the chain reaction would then cause it to act as a team member, as Kecleon's data {{tt|causes it to be on the opposite side of the one it attacked|I think it does at least}}. Since the enemy is then defeated, Kecleon follows the team to the next floor, but doesn't go farther than this because the game would {{tt|only|presumably}} make it ''act'' like a team member, rather than being one.

====Discussion regarding potential deletion====
This article has been marked for deletion. I'm not really in a position to give my opinion here... it seems just as notable as plenty of other glitches we have/have had articles on, but at the same time, it is sort of walkthrough-ish. Personally, I think all glitches with the exception of a select few should be merged into one article for all the glitches in each game, with subsections for each glitch. That's just me, though. Discuss. The article will likely be deleted within the next week or two if no convinving arguments are presented. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 19:35, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

===Similar to the cut glitch===

Giovanni drops a Silph Scope at the Game Corner in Generation 1, and it's possible to appear on top of it. Looking back, I wonder if that's normal.

Also, certain Pokemon cries will sound glitchy every couple replays in Generation 1. Pikachu's cry sounds different every six plays, for example [[User:Zouje|Zouje]] 17:43, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
#So you can just walk on top of it without a collision? How do you appear on top of it?
#Can you link to a video of this please? I'm interested. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:42, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
:#Basically if you fight him from the left hand side the Silph Scope item ball appears in that same spot but remains invisible because of the priority of the player's sprite until you walk away. You can also stand on a boulder in Gold/Silver via the same stand on a tree method from Red/Blue and jump from a ledge and land on a person in Vermilion City.
:#Interrupting certain sound effects can cause minor 'oddities' such as these (try playing Electabuzz's cry immediately after Jynx's for instance). There is a related 'music doubling trick' where a 'sound effect is playing' flag doesn't activate the first time but I haven't been able to replicate it. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 16:37, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

===Raimon Gym Trainer glitch===

Could the glitch occur with Rich Boy Roland? Seeing as both him and Lady Colette are the only trainers are in the roller coaster cars, Roland could possibly be able to trigger this glitch. Also, can you still talk to Colette while she is on the track or does the game act like she is not there after the battle? {{unsigned|Super goku}} 21:18, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

===Grass next to stairs glitch===

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTe-BTQbw-s

Should it be added to the list? If it does, can someone do? My english sucks. :/ [[User:Metang|•●'''MΣƬΛПG'''●•]] 21:21, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

===Marowak Ghost Glitch===

Is there any proof that the Marowak Ghost-Pokedoll event is actually a glitch? Considering you can use a Pokedoll on pre-Scoped Ghastly to end battles, it doesn't seem likely that it is really a glitch. After all, the Marowak Ghost is still coded as a Pokemon, just an uncatch-able one. [[User:Scorponis|Scorponis]] 19:23, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
:For me it is a glitch. First for bypassing a major event, second because it doesn't occur in Firered/Leafgreen versions. [[User:Metang|•●'''MΣƬΛПG'''●•]] 20:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

===Poké Radar===

I noticed that when I have a chain of Pikachu on my Poké Radar in the Trophy Garden on my Pearl version, and I go into a spot on the edge of the grass, even if a Pikachu turns up from it, my chain ends. I am using a Max Repel to block all other Pokémon, and have a high enough level in my first slot for the Repel to work. Should this glitch be on here? [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]] 15:37, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
:If you walk 7 or more steps to find a pokemon with radar the chain can break. Not a glitch. [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 03:31, 18 February 2011 (UTC)

===R/S/E Walk on water glitch===

There is a glitch in R/S/E where if you press B at the right time while entering the Seafloor Cave, you'll be asked to resurface while you're over its entrance. If you choose to do so, the game will put you on a rock in the water (not technically a water tile), so you'll be on your feet and able to walk on the water. Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB4qqYYy7nc
I have tried it and I can verify that it works. Good for adding? [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] 21:45, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. (Oh hi Frezparce, I think I've seen you before from HoO forums) --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 21:48, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

===Potential additions===

I'm passing on some of the things I've been looking at to you people.

* Mail Trick glitch: If an enemy Pokémon tricks away your Mail you still keep it (JPN Ruby/Sapphire)
* After 1792 Battle Tower fights in Platinum/HG/SS (possibly D/P too) the Tower resets, but Tower Tycoon Palmer starts appearing again, as a normal, 'wannabe trainer' (see Tower Tycoon event skip).
* <s>Pressing B to resurface from underwater entrances (see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB4qqYYy7nc] (first uploaded here I believe: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqdLWm7rVf0]) + looked into a little here: [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gcltempboard&action=display&thread=233&page=2] ) </s>
* <s>Selfdestruct/Explosion audio glitch: Winning via a sacrificial move in Generation I plays the victory theme even though you black out (fixed in Gen II)</s>
* <s>Substitute glitch: Using Selfdestruct/Explosion on a Substitute will break it but not faint the user, the picture of the user disappears (Gen I)</s>
* Breaking through Paralysis/Burn: Increasing or decreasing the appropriate stat breaks through the drop (e.g. Agility when Paralysed breaks through hindering effect of Paralysis) (Gen I)
* Its possible to combine moves like Reflect and Barrier/Light Screen and Amnesia to roll-over 1023 Defense/Special Defense and consequently end up which much lower defences due to the larger number modulo 1024. (Gen I)
* A few glitches from PRAMA initative, like this walking Pikachu one [http://www.prama-initiative.com/index.php?page=glitches-mineurs-rbj-8#Pikachu]
* If a user's regular Ditto transforms and the player switches the transformation away to a shiny Pokémon the transformation momentarily appears shiny. (G/S) (need to verify)
* A shiny Ditto transforming into another Shiny Pokémon makes the transformation a normal Pokémon until DPPt (need to verify)
* A miss from Rage reduces its accuracy the next turn to 0.4%
* Focus Energy in Gen I is completely broken. [http://hax.iimarck.us/files/rbymoveinfo.txt]
* Other Red/Green select bugs like 'fossil conversion' except dokokashira if they're notable.
* Other Gen I battle mechanics related glitches e.g. [http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/openpkmn/index.php?title=Differences_in_Mechanics#Move_Mechanics_of_Note]
* Ledge glitch needs expanding to apply to a Gentleman west of Lilycove and [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=gcltempboard&action=display&thread=265 a trainer in the Abandoned Ship]
* B/W AI oversight forcing trainer to send out fainted Pokémon (needs verifying) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPoQ6QRi3to]
* Pokémon Yellow critical save glitch [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yXTpnUCh5Q]
* Pal Park ability change
* If you Pal Park a Pokémon with an accented name (from in-game trade from another localization) there's no support for the character when it reaches Gen IV (turns into a Japanese character instead) (thanks Blaziken257)
* Sketch glitch (G/S), Mimic glitch (JP D/P)
* A little problem where Shiny shadow Pokémon may change back to normal coloured Shadow Pokémon and vice versa (Colosseum) (needs verifying) [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9dM0UDD7c4]
* Disappearing over-world Pokémon (a derivative of Trainer-Fly/Mew-Trick when your Start Button is disabled (Red/Blue)
* Life Orb glitch (Pokémon Battle Revolution)
* Magic Coated Dark Void glitch (Pokémon Battle Revolution)
* Japanese D/P Ace Trainer oversight [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OaNIKkRSYiQ]

* Also Smogon reported on Slow Start (JP D/P), Choiced U-Turn (D/P), Choiced Pursuit (JP D/P) + Hitting through Protect without Shadow Force (D/P) glitches here [http://www.smogon.com/ingame/misc/gen4_glitches#choiced_pursuit] though RE: Choiced U-Turn there have been reports of it not working outside of battle simulators.
* The rumour that there is a chance a Master Ball will fail in Generation I, any video verification?

===Route 9 Biker Glitch (Gen V)===

This is probably a glitch, but it might be something done on purpose for whatever reason. I've only noticed this on Route 9, where two bikers are riding back and forth, but when you hold down B, ''they'' speed up. I'm in the process of checking whether this applies to other moving trainers or just them. --[[User:JRBockus|JRBockus]] 06:06, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

===False Thief Glitch===

Is this actually a glitch? If kelcon calls a price, I don't think so. It's like if someone drops an apple core on your lawn, it's yours, right? But if you just pick it up, forget what I said. [[User:Focus58|Focus]][[User talk:Focus58|58]] 22:19, 16 April 2011 (UTC)
:Well, it is, because you don't get a choice whether or not to buy it, you just pick it up. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:32, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

===Trapped in Solaceon Town===

In Platinum version, I was trapped in Solaceon town for some odd reason. I just started from the last save, and as I was riding my bike up through Solaceon town, I hit an invisible barrier right where the border is to route 210. I rode back and then tried again to get to route 210, and it let me through. I noticed this glitch wasn't listed, so I wanted to know if this has happened to anybody else. --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|☆'''FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2'''☆]] 14:26, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

You probably [[tweaking|tweaked]] without realising. :) [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 04:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

===Black Belt Glitch===

What I don't understand is the whole reasoning behind it. First of all, how can consecutive spaces result in something like
D n i
o e n...
unless the program was something like
Opponent1::Say("D n i\n o e n...");
which would have made it intentional. Secondly, the letters are aligned correctly, something rare in glitches. If it was caused by spaces (the ASCII 0x20 variety) wrapping around like the HP bar in the Pomeg Glitch, ZZAZZ, Super Glitch (?), etc., even if it is a restricted text window (which is unlikely given the device type), the ' ' and '...' would have also alternated the line, resulting in
D n n
o e i ...
Thirdly, it could be a sort of joke among the programmers. What other 'phrase' do we know that follows this pattern?
P M
K N
So, once and for all, is it actually a glitch? I can't wrap my head around how it could (although there are some other glitches far more confusing). Or is it just an error in the coding, not related to consecutive spaces? (Driftveil's... Old... Lady... comes... to... mind...) In any case, the "glitch" either needs more detail or the detail present is incorrect. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 05:46, 24 June 2011 (UTC) (and yes, I am aware the game uses a variable-width font, not monospaced)
:I think the glitch is that he can sometimes also say really random text? Or do I understand it wrong? [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 10:01, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
::I don't personally own Platinum; I quoted the phrase from the supplied video. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 20:13, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, he said Done in like in the video when I battled him. I don't think he ever says anything random—people just didn't see Done in. I think there was something on this on a GCL wiki page.

===Defining 'minor'===

This page is probably starting to get too large again, like what happened to [[glitch]] a long time ago. Why are things like the Pewter Gym skip, experience underflow glitch, 0 PP underflow glitch and no stone evolving glitch to be considered minor, and where should we draw the line between minor and 'normal'? --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 19:39, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

===Pokémon Center terrain===
I was playing Blue version in a Gameboy Advance and the cartridge shifted a little bit, and when I walked inside of the Pokémon Center it was all jagged and I could only walk in certain areas. Is this notable or is it just some random thing?[[User:SONICバリヤ|SONICバリヤ]] 04:04, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Pretrty much anything can happen if you shift the cartridge. [[User:OwnageMuch|OwnageMuch]] 05:27, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

== Oak Lab glitch? ==

I remember a few years ago (and I recently began to try it again) that when you are first at Oak's lab he will always ask you to choose what Pokemon you want. I found a neat but weird glitch where if you try to leave the lab he will call you back (nothing unusual). However like the Bike Glitch if you keep pressing B then after awhile the game glitches and you are unable to do anything. Don't know if this has been mentioned though... [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]
: OK so I just tried this again a moment ago. Apparently pressing B while trying to leave will make you and Prof. Oak disappear and the game unplayable. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]
::That sounds interesting. Any chance you could upload a video? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:15, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
Where am I going to upload it to? But yea, used to do this glitch a lot when I was younger because I thought I could skip out on getting a starter. Not sure if this glitch can be done on an emulator. Found a video of it, pressing start afterward brings you right back, lol. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iAF20EdMiU [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]
:It's true, and its a legitimate glitch from long ago. It works on a real Game Boy, on {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. Though despite what [http://www.prama-initiative.com/index.php?page=glitches-mineurs-rbj#Labo PRAMA Initiative] say it doesn't seem to work on {{game|Yellow}}. You don't have to spam B, just keep closing the menu and holding down and it'll eventually glitch out. I read last year about a similar trick within the [[S.S. Anne]] itself, but I can't remember it unfortunately.

:You can also 'read' while pointing away from a bookshelf or scroll. The moment you press A, simply turn away. This can also be used with NPCs, to make them turn away but not talk to you.

==Expanding upon the Shiny Ditto glitch==
Perhaps there should be mention that it works on any Pokémon who uses Transform, not just Ditto? I haven't tested any of this out, but I heard you can get a Shiny Mew this way (as long as during the Mew glitch, you make sure that the Pokémon with the Special stat of 21 know Swords Dance and you let the encountered Ditto use Swords Dance at least twice, which will make the Mew that appears be over level 10 and able to use Transform). I've also heard that Shiny Pupitar, Tyranitar, and Lugia can be obtained this way (the Ghost forme, Kabutops fossil forme, and the Aerodactyl fossil forme MissingNo.s inherit attacks of the last Pokémon viewed, so view the Pokédex entry or stats page of a Ditto before the encounter and each of those MissingNo.s will be able to Transform... so get them to Transform into your Shiny Pokémon and catch them). When these three MissingNo. formes are traded over to Generation II they will become Pupitar, Tyranitar, and Lugia (if the game allows the trade... sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:14, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] all Pokémon that use Transform turn into {{p|Ditto}}. This normally isn't a problem, because Mew (normally) can't be found in the wild, but if you get a Pokémon like {{p|Spearow}} to {{m|Mirror Move}} Transform, it will also turn into {{p|Ditto}}. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 00:25, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::So you're saying that Shiny Mew and Shiny MissingNo.s would be impossible this way? Just wondering because I heard that someone has done it before... however, like I said, I never tested it so I have no idea if that person was lieing. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:33, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Unfortunately not, I don't think so. I haven't tested this particular glitch either, but I know out of experience that all Pokémon in Generation I and II which use {{m|Transform}} turn into {{p|Ditto}} upon capture. Presumably, it copies both species values (i.e. it becomes a stable Ditto all the time) but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. The shiny Ditto glitch works because transforming copies a Pokémon's DVs, therefore the opponent "transforming into your transformation" copies the [[Effort values|DV]]s of the shiny Pokémon you used from Generation II. In Generation II, shiny Pokémon are determined by their DVs.

:::You might be interested in the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch]], but the shiny Pokémon you can get from it are unfortunately [[unstable hybrid Pokémon]]. There is another method of obtaining shiny Mew via an altered version of the [[remaining HP glitch]], [http://profglitch.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=gcltempboard&thread=368&page=1 discovered by Paco81], but it's complicated and I don't really understand it. The idea is to manipulate the Pokémon's [[Effort values|DV]]s manually to create a shiny Pokémon. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 01:04, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

==Change Magikarp into Mew (Pokémon Green)==
I recently added a glitch that turns a Magikarp into a Mew. Someone deleted it. Why is that? Is it because I never posted a discussion about it before editing the page? Sorry, I'm new... I don't exactly know the protocol of adding content to pages. If that's the reason, could someone let me know? Are we supposed to discuss everything before making major edits to the page? I just figured since it was a glitch with no mention then it'd be fine to add. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:38, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
:It was me, but I added an article about it under [[second type glitch]], because it isn't specific to {{p|Magikarp}} or {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Don't worry about it. BTW, I replied to your discussion under [[Talk:Magikarp (Pokémon)]] --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 00:45, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

==Team rocket teleporting member glitch==
So in Pokemon Blue I'm at Safforon city and I got into the Pokemone center then exit. I make Red walk left and then up when the path turns and then right when the path branches off. I walk right and then talk to the team rocket member that says "Being evil makes me feel so alive!" I then walk past him and go forward till I'm in front of Silph Co. The team rocket member that is supposed to be sleeping next to the door is a few paces from his position. Going up to talk to him will make him warp back to the place at the door and likewise waiting a bit will also make him warp to the door. It is possible to stand on the place where the team rocket member was and then have the player standing on top of him. I don't know if this occurs just in Blue and Red versions so I was wondering if someone could possibly find out and then add it.

==Invisible Oak Glitch==
It's listed twice on the page and even the description is exactly the same in both. [[User: Ariano|Արիանո]] 07:34, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

== Combine Save Surf glitch with S.S. Anne Reboard glitch ==

From my experience, the S.S. Anne Reboard glitch is just an application of the Save Surf glitch and should really be under the former glitch's section in the article. pikalax 05:42, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

== Gate Glitch Video ==

I noticed that there wasn't a Bulbapedia video for the Gate Glitch, so I have a video of the glitch at:
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA_bo-c0wuA]

I hope you will use it! :)

:Added. --[[User:NOBODY|NOBODY]] ([[User talk:NOBODY|talk]]) 22:02, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

== Prevented progress ==

"Prevented progress:

If the player's starter Pokémon evolves before they obtain their Pokédex from Prof. Oak, the game will assume, since they have two Pokémon registered as caught, that they already have a Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed.
This glitch was fixed in the Japanese Blue but it reappears in the Japanese Yellow."

Ok, I understand how in Pokémon Red and Green this can work, but this is impossible in Yellow, since in Yellow Pikachu can't evolve. So it's impossible to use this glitch. Anybody? --'''''[[User:Dr. James|Dr. James]]''''' ([[User talk:Dr. James|tell me]]) 00:47, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

== Any Shiny ==

On YouTube, MissingnoXpert describes how to make any Pokemon shiny(trade from gen 2, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0QDZQhjxzY .) Should I add this?--[[User:SamurottMaster4747|SamurottMaster4747]] ([[User talk:SamurottMaster4747|talk]]) 23:13, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

'''Yancy''' (Japanese: '''ルリ''' ''Ruri''), otherwise known under the screen name '''Nancy''' (Japanese: '''ルッコ''' ''Rukko''), is a character that appears in {{2v2|Black|White|2}} if the {{player}}'s gender is male. She is the female counterpart to [[Curtis]].

==In the games==
Yancy is first encountered after the male player picks up the {{key|V|Dropped Item}} ([[Xtransceiver]]) in [[Nimbasa City]]. Upon obtaining the item, Yancy calls it from an old phone and identifies herself as the owner of the lost Xtransceiver. However she is busy at work and is unable to retrieve it at the time, so she asks the male player to hold onto it until she is free from work.

Yancy will call her Xtransceiver when the male player is in specific locations around [[Unova]]. Yancy will slowly learn about the player through her initial nine calls. What she learns about him is based on what the player answered in the [[Passerby Analytics HQ]] surveys in [[Castelia City]]. At the tenth call, Yancy would inform the player that she is finally free from work and would like to retrieve her [[Xtransceiver]] back in [[Nimbasa City]]. It is here that Yancy meets the male player for the first time as her initial calls were audio only so neither knew what each other looked like. She gratefully takes her Xtransceiver back and exchanges numbers with the male player as she wishes to talk to him more.

After returning her Xtransceiver, the game will randomly select one of the 15 areas that she calls him initially and the male player can call her from anywhere in that area. The area will change every subsequent time she is called or the game is loaded, whether she is talked to or not, but sometimes, the male player can even call multiple times while in the same area. From the 11th through 19th calls, Yancy tells the male player more about herself. Calls twenty through twenty-nine, Yancy will ask the male player for advice or opinions about things. After the 30th call, Yancy will ask the player to ride at the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel with her. After the first call of every next day, Yancy will ask the player for a Ferris Wheel ride, and if the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]], she will offer to trade Pokémon after the ride. Pokémon traded from her have {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities}}, are at [[level]] 50, and have no predetermined [[nature]], [[gender]], or [[individual values]]. It is possible to receive multiples of the same species.

From the 31st through 49th calls (except the Ferris-Wheel-ride calls), Yancy will say any of a variety of things. On the 50th call, her co-worker will accidentally pick up the phone, revealing Yancy in her working outfit.

Yancy, as Nancy, appears in various television shows as a celebrity idol.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Yancy first appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]] with her boyfriend, [[Lack-Two]]. Lack-Two breaks up with her as they both feel that their relationship is interfering with Yancy's career as an idol. Later, it is revealed that Lack-Two was dating her in order to find out whether or not she was a member of the previously defeated [[Team Plasma]]. After coming to a conclusion that she wasn't, Lack-Two crosses out both Yancy's name as well as her stage name, Nancy.

====Pokémon====
{{TrainerPoké

None of Spinda's moves are known.}}

==Trivia==
*Starting with the thirtieth call, Yancy's sprite will begin to blush when talking on the Xtransceiver, implying she has developed feelings for the male player, just like her male counterpart, [[Curtis]], has for the female player.
*Yancy will occasionally talk about the other regions, which she's been to on business trips: [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].
**She will say something about the region, such as, "I went on a business trip to the [[Hoenn|Hoenn region]] the other day. They have many unique towns and cities. They really surprised me! Their famous [[Lava Cookie]] was really good too!"
**She mentions an item with each region, which will be held by her Pokémon from that region during trade.

Talk:Pokémon Tower

2013-12-08T01:30:11Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Buried Alive */

Why is their no mention of the the tower in the anime ?--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 03:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

== Rival's Raticate ==

The last time you battled your rival on the St. Anne, he had a Raticate (or Rattata if you're playing Yellow). Now you find him in the Pokemon Tower, standing in front of a headstone, and ''he has no Raticate when you battle him'' (and he only has 5 Pokemon, so he could still have it on his team) and that Raticate is ''never seen again.'' Coincidence? --[[User:Color Printer|Color Printer]] 00:53, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:Definitely notable. [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 01:32, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
::No it isn't. It's speculation. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 01:35, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
:::Anywhere else, I wouldn't say notable. But the fact that his Raticate has left his team just before you battle him in the Pokémon grave site? I'd say that warrants some form of mention in the article somewhere. Jeez, I used to think that he just released Raticate, never even thought about it dying... - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:20, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== Now I wonder... ==

Should we move the page to '''Kanto Radio Tower'''? This is the up-to-date name now. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:38, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
:A very good question...
:Dunno if I would support the move though. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 00:46, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

== My Edit Was Removed ==

Just a minor thing, why was my edit removed for [[Soothe Bell]] considering you need to be standing where [[Mr. Fuji]] was standing and use the [[Itemfinder]]? I just based the edit on what I found looking at various pages while playing through [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] like [[Kanto Route 16]] for example. I had no idea at first why I couldn't get Soothe Bell. Then I figured it out. Using "''(hidden)''" really confused me. It really makes a difference if "''(hidden)''" is used instead of "''hidden''" or something to distinguish between nearby items and items that need to be "dug" out? I thought it was a lie that item was there. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:30, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:The sentence "MUST use [[Itemfinder]]" looks very dumb in a wiki. Also, it's not true since you can pick any hidden item without using Itemfinder.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 08:40, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
:(conflicted)Hmm, that is a strange case. You need to actually stand where Mr. Fuji was and use the itemfinder and it automatically digs it up for you, and it will not detect it other. I'll fix this in the article. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:48, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
::@Den Zen That's what I thought at first considering that I played the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games where all hidden items are obtainable without the use of the [[Itemfinder]].
::@SnorlaxMonster Good but isn't that a bit lengthy and this situation will occur at various places throughout the game (like that [[Kanto Route 16]] example I mentioned earlier where [[Leftovers]] can only be obtained using this method)?
::[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 05:02, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, it is a bit lengthy. I cut it down to only the important information. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:14, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
::::Just as a side note since it is related, should this information be on the [[Itemfinder]] page as well? --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:37, 28 October 2011 (UTC)
:::::Good point. It's there now. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:58, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

== Errors in FR/LG Movelists ==

According to the page as it stands, Blue's Wartortle has Tail Whip, Water Gun, Bubble, and Bite...but I just saw it use Withdraw.
In addition, it says that his Exeggcute has Barrage, Hypnosis, Confusion, and Leech Seed...but it just used Reflect.
I think this warrants some investigation (by someone other than me, as I'm doing a Nuzlocke run!). [[User:Istanbul|Istanbul]] 18:37, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

== Buried Alive ==

What about the trainer Buried Alive？ I mean that he is a trainer too. Am I right？ And his White Hand also needs a page too. --{{unsigned|Iusedworm}}
: The thing from the Lost Silver hack? Then no, it doesn't because its a fan game and ergo illegal. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 02:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)
::Buried Alive wasn't in Lost Silver. It was in the real Pokemon Red and Blue and Green. Nintendo didn't fully scrap it. --use worm wormey! 21:14, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
:::No, no it wasn't. It's a creepypasta and purely an invention of someone on the internet. Buried Alive and White Hand have a page at Know Your Meme, and that's the appropriate place for them. Seriously, all these things are just campfire stories. There was only ever one Lavender Town theme, there was never any Buried Alive trainer, nor was there ever the White Hands, NOR were there missing frequencies that reveal a ghost and a message when run through a spectogram. Those are all inventions made up by people to scare you.[[User:MegaNerd18|MegaNerd18]] ([[User talk:MegaNerd18|talk]]) 16:52, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

I just stumbled across this page, and i am wondering who is responsible for the Habitat and Name Origin sections. They are taking it way too seriously, as if it was meant to be in the code. It's a glitch! it's name is derived from the fact that there were bugs in the code which the programmers did not notice, not because it's sprite is small and 4 is a small number '''{{Colored link|:User:Origamiguy|f80|Lord}} of {{Colored link|:User_talk:Origamiguy|f80|Ori}}{{Colored link|Special:Contributions/Origamiguy|fb0|gami}} [http://myfreegadget.blogspot.com/ :)]''' 12:09, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

The eevee you get on generation III, is it really counted as gift pokemon? It is just sitting there on the counter, and there was no actual trainer to give it to you.

Okay, I just rewatched BW013. She clearly never stated ''how'' she got Pignite other than she got it as a Tepig, and trained it at home before leaving on her journey. So someone needs to state clearly ''what episode'' and ''what scene'' she states how she got Pignite. Just reverting and saying "She does say!" doesn't get the point across.

== List organization? ==

I was wondering if these lists would look better with mutually-exclusive Pokemon combined into a single list item.

For example, instead of:

*{{p|Chikorita}} ([[Starter Pokémon]]) {{tt|*|The player gets a choice of Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile}}
*{{p|Cyndaquil}} ([[Starter Pokémon]]) {{tt|*|The player gets a choice of Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile}}
*{{p|Totodile}} ([[Starter Pokémon]]) {{tt|*|The player gets a choice of Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile}}

It could be:

*{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} ([[Starter Pokémon]])

What do you think? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 18:57, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
:I know it's an old post, but I fully support this change. I actually came to the Talk page to suggest this. [[User:Tehb0ll0x|Tehb0ll0x]] ([[User talk:Tehb0ll0x|talk]]) 23:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

== Fossils ==

Do fossils have their place in this section ? [[User:Chiwingum|Chiwingum]] ([[User talk:Chiwingum|talk]]) 21:27, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
:I'd say it depends. The fossils like the one in the Kanto games should be fine since they were actually given, but the other types of fossils shouldn't since those are only found in the wild. They are only really resurrected by the scientist. [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]] ([[User talk:Turtwig A|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|contribs]]) 21:32, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

==Second Kalos Starter in Gen. VI==

After entering the Hall of Fame, Shauna gives you a level 5 Kalos starter of the same species as hers. This wasn't included, should it be? [[User:SamurottMaster4747|SamurottMaster4747]] ([[User talk:SamurottMaster4747|talk]]) 30 November 2013 23:28 (UTC)

'''Explosion''' (Japanese '''だいばくはつ''' ''Giant Explosion'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is currently the most powerful move in terms of its base power. It was [[TM47]] in Generation I before losing its TM status in Generation II. It regained its TM status, albeit as [[TM64]], in Generation IV onwards.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Explosion has a power of 170 in Generation I.

Explosion does damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 170, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 340. The game rounds up to avoid infinite damage, so Explosion will then effectively have a power of 170 if used against a target with a Defense value of 1.

If Explosion breaks a target's {{m|substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Explosion had a substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Explosion attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Explosion breaks a target's substitute, the user will faint. The base power listed in Stadium is the one after halving Defense, ie. 340.

===Generation II===
Explosion's base power was [[List of modified moves|changed]] to the current 250. The Defense-halving step still applies, giving it an effective power of 500.

If Explosion is used against a {{m|substitute}}, a {{t|Ghost}} type, or a Pokémon that has used {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, the user will still faint.

Unlike in the previous game, Stadium 2 lists Explosion's base power before halving Defense.

The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generations III and IV===
Explosion cannot be used when a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}} is on the field. User's sprite no longer disappears upon the use of move.

Explosion will also affect all other Pokémon on the field in [[Double Battle]]s.

The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Generation V===
Explosion no longer halves the target's Defense. Also, the user now faints before dealing damage as opposed to fainting after dealing damage in previous generations.

{{a|Sturdy}} won't prevent the user of Explosion from fainting.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
Explosion does not cause the user to faint, but instead cuts its HP in half, and affects all Pokémon, items, and walls within 2 tiles of the user, reducing HP by half on teammates, by 80 on hostile Pokémon, and destroying all walls, items, and [[dungeon tiles|special tiles]]. Explosion cannot be used in {{weather|rain}} or on any floor with a Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Damp}}. Additionally, {{type|Fire}} Pokémon take only 50% of usual damage.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

As our heroes sleep peacefully, Pikachu begins experiencing an unusual sensation. As though it were choking on something, Pikachu's expression grows steadily more and more pained. It seems there's nothing left to do but take Pikachu to a Pokémon Center immediately. Ash takes off running, carrying Pikachu over his shoulder, but the Pokémon Center is quite a distance away. Ash decides to take Pikachu to a nearby emergency room, but when he arrives, a sign hangs on the hospital door coldly stating, Hospital Closed Today. Is there any help for Pikachu?

==Plot==
The scene opens on {{AP|Pikachu}} climbing in a tree. All of a sudden, something gets stuck in Pikachu's throat after it has been looking through the tree, evident by Pikachu's voice sounding weird. {{an|Brock}} quickly suggests that they take Pikachu to see a doctor. They run down the path to look for a [[Pokémon Center]], but there isn't one for miles. They eventually reach a hospital for humans and ask for help from a doctor. The doctor ([[Dr. Proctor]]) doesn't pay much attention to {{Ash}}'s pleas, but when {{an|Misty}} starts pleading the doctor gives in, saying that he can't resist a pretty face. Thinking Misty is the one in need of help, the doctor asks her what the problem was. After explaining that Pikachu was the sick one, Ash once again asks for help. Although a hospital for humans, the doctor agrees to help; however, the doctor refuses at first. After checking on Pikachu, the doctor states that there is something stuck in Pikachu's throat. The doctor manages to remove the thing in its throat, which happens to be an apple; Pikachu is now okay.

The phone then starts ringing; the doctor refuses to answer, saying he's "off duty". Brock answers the call and he learns that it's [[Nurse Joy]]. She informs the group that there has been a violent accident involving a truck of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} stolen by {{TRT}}, and the Pokémon are in dire need of medical attention. With the Pokémon Center at full capacity, the extra room of the hospital is needed. Instead of giving Nurse Joy a serious answer, he asks her out, making her angry. Meanwhile, Team Rocket are at the scene of the accident, with [[Jessie]] and [[James]] having a heated argument. {{MTR}} is feeling down because the charm on his head is missing. Back at the hospital, the doctor gives everyone their uniforms and equipment, saying that he needs their help because he is short on staff. When the injured Pokémon arrive on stretchers pushed by {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}}, everyone starts working. Ash calls out his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to hold down {{p|Cubone}} who keeps on struggling in pain. Misty comforts it and successfully calms it down. Dr. Proctor says that Misty is a natural.

Team Rocket comes in, bringing more patients, namely Jessie's {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{p|Raticate}}. The doctor proceeds by asking Jessie out for some pizza. Jessie is impressed with the doctor. Ash tells the doctor not to help Team Rocket, but Dr. Proctor explains that it was his job to heal, not to judge. Meowth is still stressing over the loss of his charm; Chansey tries to cheer him up, but does not succeed.

Everyone is busy helping all the injured Pokémon, even Jessie and James pitch in. They are all working together diligently. They help Pokémon such as a {{p|Pinsir}}, a {{p|Weepinbell}}, a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Hitmonlee}}, a {{p|Nidoking}}, a {{p|Sandslash}}, a {{p|Parasect}}, and [[James's Weezing]]. There is a hyper {{p|Dodrio}} in need of untangling, so the doctor prepares an anesthetic injection, as to calm it down. The Dodrio lunges at Dr. Proctor, causing the doctor to inadvertently stab himself with the injection. The doctor then falls asleep. With no doctor on hand, Ash decides to weaken Dodrio with his own Pokémon. He has {{AP|Squirtle}} use {{m|Water Gun}} followed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Caught up in the moment, Ash pulls out a {{ball|Poké}} to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] the Pokémon. Ash is stopped by Brock, who reminds him that they want to help Dodrio, not catch it.

Later, while treatment is still going on, Jessie and James decide that they are going to steal all of the injured Pokémon. They take off the uniforms and start reciting [[Team Rocket mottos|their motto]]. They didn't manage to finish it because Meowth unexpectedly interrupts them, still wanting his charm. Jessie and James try to hold back Ash, Misty and Brock with a "stretcher catcher" contraption. Chansey faces James, who threatens Ash with a big needle. Jessie commands Arbok and James commands Weezing to attack Chansey, but they didn't budge one bit. Dr. Proctor, who has just awoken, states that Arbok and Weezing will not attack Chansey because they were cared for by it when they were injured. Getting angry, Jessie throws a beaker at him, but Dr. Proctor simply cuts it in half using a scalpel. Dr. Proctor then shows them his "arsenal" that's in his doctor's coat. His "arsenal" consists of sharp tools, such as shots, scissors, and scalpels. Ash and his friends are freed by the Chansey. Team Rocket runs out of the building being chased by the "stretcher catchers" Ash and his friends had pushed their way. Team Rocket ends up "blasting off again" when the Voltorb that James snuck away with {{m|Self-Destruct|self-destructs}}. Upon landing, the charm on Meowth's head pops out of its head (where it had been all along), making him very happy.

With the Pokémon all treated, Dr. Proctor tell Ash and his friends that they should be doctors and asks them if they want to stay and train. Misty states her interest in becoming a doctor but she still has a lot to learn about [[Water (type)|water Pokémon]]. Ash and friends then bid farewell to the good doctor and continue on their journey.

==Trivia==
===Errors===
* While Misty and Jessie are trying to help a {{p|Voltorb}} caught in a {{p|Weepinbell}}'s mouth, [[Dr. Proctor]] tells Jessie that Voltorb can {{m|Selfdestruct|self-destruct}}, which she seems not to know. However, Jessie saw several Voltorb self-destruct when [[EP032|Ash battled Koga]].
** Interestingly enough, in that episode, James was the only one of the three who knew what a Voltorb was, and when Meowth was holding a Voltorb up, he yelled to him "That's a Voltorb!" but in this episode, their positions are swapped. At the end of this episode, James manages to steal a Voltorb, apparently unaware that it will selfdestruct, and Jessie and Meowth panic when they see Voltorb, and Meowth says "That's a Voltorb!"
* While Jessie and James are with Arbok and a Raticate in the hospital, James mistakenly calls the Raticate "Arbok" when he waves his hand dismissively at the Raticate and says "Arbok, beat it. Amscray."

===Dub edits===
* In the [[Kids' WB!]] version, the scene where [[Dr. Proctor]] is injected with the anesthetic is cut. However, in every other version, including the one that airs on [[Cartoon Network]], the scene is kept in.
** On that same note, the sound effects are kept in, and the anesthetic scene is frozen.
* In the dub, after getting injected with the anesthetic, Dr. Proctor goes to sleep for six hours. In the original, he sleeps for about nine hours.
* In the dubbed version, when Dr. Proctor is falling asleep, the {{p|Jigglypuff}} tune can be heard in the background.
* In the Operating Room scene, Chansey retrieves various items for a crying Meowth to replace his missing charm ''(小判, Koban)''. In the dub, the gag is that Chansey is seemingly placing random items that rhyme with some words at the end of his sentences. In the original, it mishears the word ''koban'' and instead gives him objects with names that rhyme with the word.

'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

====Battle Institute====
{{main|Battle Institute}}
The Battle Institute (Japanese: '''トライアルハウス''' ''Trial House'') on the North Boulevard works in the same way as the one in [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Unova]].

The player can win [[Battle Point|BP]] here.

====Lumiose Station====
A very large train train station located on the far eastern half of the North Boulevard. Upon defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion, Professor Sycamore will meet the player here and give them the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|TMV Pass}} which allows them to board the train to [[Kiloude City]].

====Looker Bureau====
[[Looker]]'s headquarters during the post-game storyline. It is located in a narrow street between the North Boulevard and Rouge Plaza.

===South Boulevard===
[[File:XY Prerelease Lumiose City.png|thumb|right|300px|A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue]]

====PR Video Studio ====
A purple building on the South Boulevard where Trainer PR Videos are filmed. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's Nintendo 3DS friend code.

====Sycamore Pokémon Lab====
[[Professor Sycamore]]'s Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon Battle early in the game.

====Coiffure Clips====
A small hair dressing salon located opposite the {{rt|5|Kalos}} entrance. The player can have their hair colored and styled here. More styling options become available once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness.

===Autumnal Avenue===
====Poké Ball Boutique====
A specialty shop that specializes in different kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s. It is notably the only location in any Pokémon game where {{DL|Poké Ball|Premier Ball}}s are sold individually.

====Juice Shoppe====
A specialty shop that sells juices made from [[Berry|Berries]]. Two options are available: pre-made juices, available from the man on the left, or custom-blend juices from the lady on the right, made by mixing selected Berries from the player's bag.

===Estival Avenue===
====Loto-ID Center====
{{main|Pokémon Lottery Corner}}
A shop located on Estival Avenue. Each day, the player may participate in a lottery draw, and prizes are granted depending on the how many digits from a randomly generated ID number match those of any Pokémon in the player's possession.

====Lumiose Press====
A building located next to the Loto-ID Center on Estival Avenue. [[Viola|Viola's]] sister, [[Alexa]], will recommend various locations around the city for the player to visit, and offers to take them there.

===Vernal Avenue===
====Friseur Furfrou====
A shop on Vernal Avenue that specializes in {{p|Furfrou}} haircuts. They initially offer Star, Diamond and Heart Trims. As the player progresses, more trims that become available are the La Reine, Kabuki, Pharaoh, Debutante, Matron and Dandy Trims.

====Herboriste====
A specialty shop that sells [[herbal medicines]].

====Stone Emporium====
A specialty shop that sells [[evolutionary stones]]. A man in the store will offer to sell the player the remaining [[Mega Stone]]s for the two [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] they did not receive from [[Professor Sycamore]]. The prices of the Mega Stones begin at {{pdollar}}1,000,000, but the man will sell them for as as low as {{pdollar}}10,000 depending on the player's stylishness.

====Boutique Couture====
A fancy fashion boutique. The player is only granted access to the boutique once their stylishness reaches a certain level. The clothes and accessories are sold here for a much higher price than those sold at the other boutiques across Kalos. A lady in the store mentions to the player that there is a special Discount Coupon that can be used at the store, however, this item's whereabouts is currently unknown.

===Restaurants===
The restaurants of Lumiose City offer an interesting attraction. Each restaurant allows the player to purchase dinner and serves them various dishes to eat, however, each dish served requires a certain amount of time to settle. While settling, the employee that brought out the food will challenge the player to a Pokémon battle, telling him/her how many turns the battle should take to give the dish the perfect taste. The battles occur in a row, but the player's entire party will automatically be healed between each fight. After battling each of the employees in the restaurant, the player will receive items based on the which restaurant he/she is in, how many of their Pokémon fainted during each battle, and if each battle was won in the proper number of turns. For each faint or turn difference, the player will receive one less of the reward item. If the player complete a style of battling perfectly, a ★ appears next to that style of battle at that restaurant. In addition, as the player's style goes up, the restaurants will begin to offer a 10% discount.
The Trainers will often use turn-wasting strategies involving moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Protect}}, flinch-inducing, as well as evasion-increasing Abilities like {{a|Snow Cloak}}, complicating the player's attempts to meet a target turn requirement.

====Restaurant Le Nah====
Located in South Boulevard, this one is the cheapest to get into at {{Pdollar}}3,000, but it only offers [[Double Battle]]s. The perfect reward is 12 [[Tiny Mushroom]]s, and each battle is best completed in two turns.

For the Double Battles, the Trainers do not use the first Pokémon listed below for each battle and each battle should be completed in two turns, except for the third one which is three turns against Garçon Morris. For the Triple Battles, each battle should be completed in three turns, except the first battle which is four turns against Owner Christophe. For the Rotation Battles, each battle should be completed in six rounds, except the last battle which is four turns against Waitress Paula.

====Sushi High Roller====
Located near Rouge Plaza, Sushi High Roller is the most expensive and hardest of the four restaurants to get into. The player needs to have become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, completed all of the [[Looker]] Bureau chapters, and have gotten his or her style up in the city. The restaurant costs {{Pdollar}}500,000 and offers [[Double Battle|Double]], [[Triple Battle|Triple]], and [[Rotation Battle]]s. For Double Battles, the first Pokémon listed is not used by the Trainer in question and the turn requirement for each battle is three. For Triple Battles, the turn requirement is three for each battle except against Owner Kazu where it is five turns. For Rotation Battles, each battle is to be six turns except against Owner Kazu which is to be seven turns. The perfect reward is 25 [[Big Nugget]]s. Sushi High Roller is the only restaurant that does not give any profit upon completing a course even after selling the prize (the Big Nuggets), therefore the only real advantage this restaurant has, is the experience points.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lumiose City anime.png|thumb|Lumiose City in the anime]]
{{Ash}} arrived in Lumiose City with [[Alexa]] as his first destination to the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the Gym there but he was denied access and fell several feet above.
{{sectionstub}}
{{-}}
==Trivia==
* Many locations around the [[Pokémon world]] are featured in various paintings inside the Lumiose Museum.
** One particular painting on the top floor is likely a reference to {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}. The audio guide describes the painting's artist as a polymath, and the painting itself is similar in appearance to many of da Vinci's red chalk drawings.
** An Espurr who appears on the third floor of the museum responds with 'De-gahh!' when interacted with. This could be a reference to French Impressionist Edgar Degas, the famous sculptor and painter.
* A woman beside Café Bataille explains that the two {{p|Skiddo}} in front of Lumiose Station were abandoned by their Trainer, and wait by the station for his return. This is a possible reference to the story of {{wp|Hachikō}}, an Akita dog who waited at the train station every day for his owner's return, even after his unexpected death. The story is a popular legend in Japanese culture.
* If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their [[bicycle]], the music does not change.
* At the Magenta Plaza [[Pokémon Center]], a young man mentions [[Team Plasma]] "making news a {{game|Black and White|s|while}} {{game|Black and White|s|back|2}} in the [[Unova]] region," while a young woman mentions [[Professor Oak]]'s {{ga|Blue|grandson}} having visited Kalos to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting [[S.S. Anne]] in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s|Generation I}} {{game|Yellow||games}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
* The four avenues are named after words pertaining to each of the four seasons.
* The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart. Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanised, dating back to the 1960s.
* Similarly to Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by {{wp|List of railway stations in Paris|railroads}}.
* On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo, a Hex Maniac Girl will appear and say "No, you're not the one", and float away. The real purpose of this in-game "event" is not known yet.
* Behind the second TMV timetable in Lumiose Station, some words are written saying "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place." Some people believe that this is related to the Hex Maniac Girl in the second floor of the Fighting Dojo.
===Glitches===
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in]]
At the time of release of {{g|X and Y}}, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25th, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.

==Origin==
Lumiose City and [[Prism Tower]] are based on {{wp|Paris}} and the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} respectively.

Glitch Trainer

SamurottMaster4747: /* Chief */

[[File:Glitch Trainer battle.png|thumb|Battling a glitch Trainer]]
'''Glitch Trainers''' are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that can only be battled via the use of [[glitch]]es.

==Generation I==
Glitch Trainers can be battled in one of two ways: the [[old man glitch]] (if the player's name contains certain special characters in the 3rd, 5th, or 7th slot) or the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} (using {{stat|Special}} stats ranging from 201-255{{sup/1|RB}} or 201-253{{sup/1|Y}}). Unlike other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, glitch Trainers say nothing before or after the battle, and often use [[glitch Pokémon]].

===Old man glitch method===
If the player encounters a glitch Trainer via the [[old man glitch]], the team used by said trainer will be determined by the last team index number loaded, and the team will be always read from an unexistent [[trainer class]] #256 - so if a Gambler with team number 3 was fought last time and the player encounters a trainer via old man glitch, the game will load team #3 of trainer #256, regardless of the encountered trainer class.

Below is a list of the first 10 teams of the trainers encountered via the old man glitch.

===Ditto glitch method===
If the player encounters a glitch Trainer via the Ditto glitch, the "Attack stage" of the Ditto used will be used to determine which team will be used. The Attack stage is how many stages the Ditto's {{stat|Attack}} stat has been raised or lowered; 7 is the default, 1 is the lowest possible, and 13 is the highest possible. Unless Ditto's Attack stage is changed, the game will load the 7th team. Most Trainers only have one set team, causing glitchy teams if not encountered via the Ditto glitch and having the Ditto's Attack lowered to stage 1 (since they do not have a 2nd, 3rd, etc. team). The only exceptions are [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]] and {{ga|Blue}}, who have three different teams based on the {{player}}'s [[starter Pokémon]]. This is the only way to face Prof. Oak with his original team.

===ZZAZZ glitch===
{{Main|ZZAZZ glitch}}
If the player performs the Ditto glitch and uses a {{stat|Special}} stat of either 251, 252, 254, or 255, the [[ZZAZZ glitch]] will be triggered. This glitch changes most in-game bytes to have a value of 153, hence the players name will be changed to consist of multiple amounts of the letter "Z" (index number 153). Most of the player's Pokémon will be changed to level 153 {{p|Bulbasaur}} (index number 153) with the attack explosion save for any multiples of three you have.

==Generation II==
{{main|Trainer House glitch}}
Glitch Trainers may appear in the [[Trainer House]] as a result of the [[Trainer House glitch]].

==Glitch-only Trainer classes==
===Prof. Oak===
[[File:PkmnProfWantsToFight.png|thumb|[[Professor Oak]], who cannot normally be battled]]
'''Prof. Oak''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|オーキドせんせい|Ōkido-sensei}}''' ''Instructor Oak'') can be battled by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a Special stat of 226, or by performing the [[old man glitch]] with the character {{MN}} in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name. Interestingly, the Japanese script uses an apparent earlier name for Professor Oak—he is normally called '''{{tt|オーキドはかせ|Ōkido-hakase}}''' ''Dr. Oak''.

In the [[Generation I]] games, there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that it was originally going to be possible to battle him.

In the data, Oak normally has a level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, a level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, a level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, a level 70 {{p|Gyarados}}, and one of the Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] at level 69. This places his strength on-par with {{ga|Blue}}, who is the [[Pokémon Champion]] and grandson of Professor Oak. Additionally, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by Blue, but are at higher levels, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer, possibly in the same manner as {{ga|Red}} in [[Generation II]]. This is supported by an email on the PC in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], from the [[Indigo League]] issuing a challenge to all Trainers and specifically requesting Oak to come visit them.

When battling Prof. Oak via the Mew glitch, the Attack of the wild {{p|Ditto}} must be lowered by 4, 5 or 6 stages for Prof. Oak to have the {{p|Charizard}} team, the {{p|Venusaur}} team or the {{p|Blastoise}} team, respectively.

===Chief===

'''Chief''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|シルフのチーフ|Shirufu no Chīfu}}''' ''{{tt|Silph|Sylph}}'s Chief'') is an unused [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|beta]] [[Trainer class]] that is found in the [[Generation I]] games. Chief can be battled through the use of the [[old man glitch]] when the {{player}}'s name contains a dash in the third, fifth, or seventh letter slot, or via the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 227. Chief's sprite is the one of a {{tc|Scientist}}. The only time the word is said in-game is in [[Celadon City]], by one of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, perhaps indicating that Chief might have appeared in other places and been able to battle the player. The Japanese name indicates that the player would fight the head of [[Silph Co.]] Unlike Prof. Oak, there is no team programmed for Chief.

===Jacred===
[[File:Jacred.jpg|thumb|right|The player encounters Jacred]]
'''Jacred''' is a [[glitch]] [[Trainer class]]. Its name is derived from the preset names the player chooses for themselves and their rival, such as their names being "Jack" and "Red" will make "Jacred". The only way to fight 'Jacred' is by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 200. Unlike other glitch Trainers, Jacred has no defined sprite and can instantly [[Game freeze|crash the game]] when it is about to send out the first Pokémon.

Transportation in the Pokémon world

2013-11-03T15:11:54Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Roller Skates */

{{Unsatisfactory}}
There are various methods of '''transportation''' used in the [[Pokémon world]].

==Land==
===Shoes===
====Normal shoes====
These are the primary way of getting around in the Pokémon series of games. The {{player}} starts with these in the beginning of the game, and with them is able to walk around. They are used by pressing either Up, Down, Right, or Left on the D-Pad.

====Running shoes====
Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[running shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the player to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in most buildings however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Running Shoes can be triggered on and off by using the touch screen.

===Cycles===
====Bikes====
[[File:EP036.png|200px|thumb|right|A bunch of cyclists in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang!]]''.]]
=====Generation I and II=====
In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is only a basic [[bicycle]] which is sold by [[Miracle Cycle]]. Only one obstacle is passable solely by bicycle, and that is [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]]. Bicycling is not allowed in most buildings.

=====Generation III=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of bicycles: the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}. They can be swapped at [[Rydel's Cycles]] in [[Mauville City]].

The Mach Bike can move so fast that it can climb muddy slopes or pass over weak ground without falling through. If the player collides with something, the speed at which they are traveling will reset. On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], the player's time and amount of collisions are recorded by a [[NPC]], and will be sent over to another player if the records are swapped. In addition, there is a period of two blocks of acceleration and deceleration when traveling on the Mach Bike, which makes immediate stops impossible.

The Acro Bike has the same speed as the bikes in earlier games, but can climb rocks in areas like {{rt|112|Hoenn}} and travel on white rails on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and other places. In addition, if the B button is held while on the Acro Bike, the player will perform a wheelie. If the B button is held for several seconds, the Acro Bike will perform "bunny hops". Bunny hops allow the player to jump onto and along rugged rock paths, such as those found on [[Jagged Pass]]. If the B button and directional pad are used together, the player is able to jump over small gaps.

=====Generation IV=====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, only one bicycle is available. This model however, has two gears which can be changed by pressing the B button, allowing [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]] to be jumped over with sufficient speed. Unlike the previous generations, bikes cannot be ridden in any buildings in Diamond and Pearl. This was changed in Platinum. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the bike only has one speed, as in Generation II.

=====Generation V=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the bicycle is similar to the ones in Generations I and II. The bike cannot be ridden in most buildings.
=====Generation VI=====
In {{game|X and Y|s}}, the bicycle is exactly the same as in Generation V, but comes in two colors.

=====In the anime=====
Bikes are used at various times in the anime, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows {{an|Misty}}'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason why Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters, up until {{series2|Best Wishes}}, owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, when Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling on {{si|Cycling Road}}, they used bikes. {{an|Barry}} is also seen with a bike in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''.

===={{wp|Motorcycle|Motorbikes}}====
[[File:Wes's Motorcycle.png|left|thumb|Wes's motorcycle, as seen in the beginning of {{g|Colosseum}}]]
=====In the games=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, [[Wes]] rides a futuristic levitating motorcycle.

The {{tc|Biker}}, {{tc|Roughneck|Cue Ball}}{{tt|*|Cue Balls are shown with motorcycles in FireRed and LeafGreen only}}, and [[Charles|Motorcyclist]] Trainer classes use motorbikes.

=====In the anime=====
Motorbikes have been used by [[Officer Jenny]] multiple times.
A [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] used a motorcycle in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' when he was chasing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}.
{{-}}

===Trucks===
[[File:Trucks anime.png|220px|thumb|right|A group of trucks in the anime]]
====Moving truck====
A truck is used by the player's family to move from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]] in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The player starts the game inside of the truck.

====[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|S.S. Anne truck]]====
A truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the S.S. Anne, in Red and Blue. There were rumors that one can get a Mew or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it. However, these proved to be false. In FireRed and LeafGreen, if the [[Itemfinder]] is used to look for an item near the truck, a [[Lava Cookie]] can be found instead, as possibly a reference to the rumors.

====[[Skyarrow Bridge]]====
Trucks can be seen on the Skyarrow Bridge. They are driving on the road beneath the walkway for pedestrians.

====[[Unova Route 4]]====
Trucks can be seen driving on the highway.

===Trains===
====Magnet Train====
The [[Magnet Train]] runs between [[Saffron City]] and [[Goldenrod City]], connecting [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions|Generation IV remakes]]. It was constructed some time after [[Generation I]]. To ride it, a person needs a {{key|IV|Pass}}, which was given to those displaced by the train stations' construction. A Pass can be received by the [[Copycat (character)|Copycat]] if the player returns her doll which was given to her by the player in Generation I and the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions|Generation III remakes]] and found by a person in [[Vermilion City]].

====Freight train====
A freight train appeared in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''. It consisted of a red steam locomotive, numerous freight wagons and a passenger carriage at the rear. It runs on a line in the mountainous areas of [[Johto]]. The [[Pichu Brothers]] enjoy going for rides on it. {{DL|PokéPark (theme park)|The Pichu Brothers' Rascal Railway}} at {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}} is likely based on this train.

====Ampharos Train====
A train powered solely by [[Ampharos Train crew|an Ampharos]] runs between [[Snowpoint City]] and [[Lake Acuity]] in [[Sinnoh]]. It was featured in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''.

====Battle Subway====
The [[Battle Subway]], accessible in [[Unova]] from [[Nimbasa City]], functions as Unova's version of the [[Battle Tower]]. One train can also be ridden by the player to [[Anville Town]].

====Other trains====
* Some passenger trains appeared in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
* [[Outskirt Stand]] in [[Orre]] appears to be made from an old steam locomotive.
* There is also an [[The Under Subway|underground railway]] in Orre.
* [[LaRousse City]] has a monorail that circles the city, providing access to the central island.
* The various areas of the [[Pastoria City|Pastoria]] [[Great Marsh]] are accessed by rail.
* Another train appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', within which {{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} transforms into its Sky Forme.
* According to a book in the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene City Library]], trains were used for transportation in the [[Unova]] region before airplanes and thus there are old, disused train tracks in [[Nacrene City]].

==={{wp|Skateboard}}s===
In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Ash and {{Gary}} race on skateboards. Skateboards were also supposed to appear in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as a different mode of transportation, but that idea was scrapped.

==={{wp|Segway PT|Segway}}s===
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] rode segways, although they were referred to as scooters.

==={{wp|Automobile|Cars}}===
[[File:ScottsCar.png|right|thumb|[[Scott]]'s car]]
Cars are used multiple times in the anime. Among the people with cars are [[Gary Oak]], [[Scott]] (whose car is based on a {{wp|Ford Thunderbird (eleventh generation)|2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird}}), [[Norman]], [[Reggie]], [[Professor Birch]], [[Bertha]], [[Eusine]], [[Cynthia]], {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Professor Juniper]].

An amphibious car is used by [[Grings Kodai]] and [[Goone]] in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==={{wp|Limousines}}===
[[Paris]] is seen coming out of a limo(a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Limo) with her {{p|Lopunny}} in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

==={{wp|Tank}}s===
[[Nastina]] was seen using a tank in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''. Team Rocket also used a tank in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time!]]'', to try to kidnap all the Circus Pokémon.
==={{wp|Roller skates}}===
Roller Skates are a new form of transportation, introduced in {{game|X and Y|s}}. They are faster than running shoes, but slower than the bicycle.

==Air==
===={{wp|Airship}}s====
They are used frequently by villains. Futuristic airships of a large size, powered apparently by anti-gravity technology of some kind. [[J]], [[Lawrence III]], and [[Zero]] all owned airships.

[[Team Plasma]] uses one in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], named the [[Plasma Frigate]].

===={{wp|Blimp}}s====

====S.S. Libra====
{{main|S.S. Libra}}
The S.S. Libra runs from [[Orre]] to other regions and is used as a Pokémon cargo ship. During the events of {{Pokémon XD}}, it was destroyed by [[Shadow Lugia]] and all the Pokémon currently in it were transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. [[Michael]] later found its remains near [[Phenac City]].

====The Union====
{{main|The Union}}

==All==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Riding on Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon riding on other Pokémon]]
Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race. Many Trainers also attempted to use their Pokémon to reach Mewtwo's Island in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Ash and his friends also used {{AP|Lapras}} in going around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

Ash's {{type|Flying}} Pokémon were rode on many times, mostly by {{AP|Pikachu}} for looking for something or attacking {{TRT}}'s balloon. Pikachu rode on {{AP|Butterfree}} in episodes such as ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. It also rode on Pidgeotto, Swellow and Staraptor, Ash's bird-based Pokémon, multiple times.

Transportation in the Pokémon world

2013-11-03T15:09:41Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* {{wp|Tank}}s */

{{Unsatisfactory}}
There are various methods of '''transportation''' used in the [[Pokémon world]].

==Land==
===Shoes===
====Normal shoes====
These are the primary way of getting around in the Pokémon series of games. The {{player}} starts with these in the beginning of the game, and with them is able to walk around. They are used by pressing either Up, Down, Right, or Left on the D-Pad.

====Running shoes====
Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[running shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the player to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in most buildings however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Running Shoes can be triggered on and off by using the touch screen.

===Cycles===
====Bikes====
[[File:EP036.png|200px|thumb|right|A bunch of cyclists in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang!]]''.]]
=====Generation I and II=====
In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is only a basic [[bicycle]] which is sold by [[Miracle Cycle]]. Only one obstacle is passable solely by bicycle, and that is [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]]. Bicycling is not allowed in most buildings.

=====Generation III=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of bicycles: the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}. They can be swapped at [[Rydel's Cycles]] in [[Mauville City]].

The Mach Bike can move so fast that it can climb muddy slopes or pass over weak ground without falling through. If the player collides with something, the speed at which they are traveling will reset. On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], the player's time and amount of collisions are recorded by a [[NPC]], and will be sent over to another player if the records are swapped. In addition, there is a period of two blocks of acceleration and deceleration when traveling on the Mach Bike, which makes immediate stops impossible.

The Acro Bike has the same speed as the bikes in earlier games, but can climb rocks in areas like {{rt|112|Hoenn}} and travel on white rails on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and other places. In addition, if the B button is held while on the Acro Bike, the player will perform a wheelie. If the B button is held for several seconds, the Acro Bike will perform "bunny hops". Bunny hops allow the player to jump onto and along rugged rock paths, such as those found on [[Jagged Pass]]. If the B button and directional pad are used together, the player is able to jump over small gaps.

=====Generation IV=====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, only one bicycle is available. This model however, has two gears which can be changed by pressing the B button, allowing [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]] to be jumped over with sufficient speed. Unlike the previous generations, bikes cannot be ridden in any buildings in Diamond and Pearl. This was changed in Platinum. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the bike only has one speed, as in Generation II.

=====Generation V=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the bicycle is similar to the ones in Generations I and II. The bike cannot be ridden in most buildings.
=====Generation VI=====
In {{game|X and Y|s}}, the bicycle is exactly the same as in Generation V, but comes in two colors.

=====In the anime=====
Bikes are used at various times in the anime, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows {{an|Misty}}'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason why Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters, up until {{series2|Best Wishes}}, owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, when Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling on {{si|Cycling Road}}, they used bikes. {{an|Barry}} is also seen with a bike in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''.

===={{wp|Motorcycle|Motorbikes}}====
[[File:Wes's Motorcycle.png|left|thumb|Wes's motorcycle, as seen in the beginning of {{g|Colosseum}}]]
=====In the games=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, [[Wes]] rides a futuristic levitating motorcycle.

The {{tc|Biker}}, {{tc|Roughneck|Cue Ball}}{{tt|*|Cue Balls are shown with motorcycles in FireRed and LeafGreen only}}, and [[Charles|Motorcyclist]] Trainer classes use motorbikes.

=====In the anime=====
Motorbikes have been used by [[Officer Jenny]] multiple times.
A [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] used a motorcycle in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' when he was chasing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}.
{{-}}

===Trucks===
[[File:Trucks anime.png|220px|thumb|right|A group of trucks in the anime]]
====Moving truck====
A truck is used by the player's family to move from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]] in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The player starts the game inside of the truck.

====[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|S.S. Anne truck]]====
A truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the S.S. Anne, in Red and Blue. There were rumors that one can get a Mew or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it. However, these proved to be false. In FireRed and LeafGreen, if the [[Itemfinder]] is used to look for an item near the truck, a [[Lava Cookie]] can be found instead, as possibly a reference to the rumors.

====[[Skyarrow Bridge]]====
Trucks can be seen on the Skyarrow Bridge. They are driving on the road beneath the walkway for pedestrians.

====[[Unova Route 4]]====
Trucks can be seen driving on the highway.

===Trains===
====Magnet Train====
The [[Magnet Train]] runs between [[Saffron City]] and [[Goldenrod City]], connecting [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions|Generation IV remakes]]. It was constructed some time after [[Generation I]]. To ride it, a person needs a {{key|IV|Pass}}, which was given to those displaced by the train stations' construction. A Pass can be received by the [[Copycat (character)|Copycat]] if the player returns her doll which was given to her by the player in Generation I and the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions|Generation III remakes]] and found by a person in [[Vermilion City]].

====Freight train====
A freight train appeared in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''. It consisted of a red steam locomotive, numerous freight wagons and a passenger carriage at the rear. It runs on a line in the mountainous areas of [[Johto]]. The [[Pichu Brothers]] enjoy going for rides on it. {{DL|PokéPark (theme park)|The Pichu Brothers' Rascal Railway}} at {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}} is likely based on this train.

====Ampharos Train====
A train powered solely by [[Ampharos Train crew|an Ampharos]] runs between [[Snowpoint City]] and [[Lake Acuity]] in [[Sinnoh]]. It was featured in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''.

====Battle Subway====
The [[Battle Subway]], accessible in [[Unova]] from [[Nimbasa City]], functions as Unova's version of the [[Battle Tower]]. One train can also be ridden by the player to [[Anville Town]].

====Other trains====
* Some passenger trains appeared in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
* [[Outskirt Stand]] in [[Orre]] appears to be made from an old steam locomotive.
* There is also an [[The Under Subway|underground railway]] in Orre.
* [[LaRousse City]] has a monorail that circles the city, providing access to the central island.
* The various areas of the [[Pastoria City|Pastoria]] [[Great Marsh]] are accessed by rail.
* Another train appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', within which {{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} transforms into its Sky Forme.
* According to a book in the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene City Library]], trains were used for transportation in the [[Unova]] region before airplanes and thus there are old, disused train tracks in [[Nacrene City]].

==={{wp|Skateboard}}s===
In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Ash and {{Gary}} race on skateboards. Skateboards were also supposed to appear in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as a different mode of transportation, but that idea was scrapped.

==={{wp|Segway PT|Segway}}s===
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] rode segways, although they were referred to as scooters.

==={{wp|Automobile|Cars}}===
[[File:ScottsCar.png|right|thumb|[[Scott]]'s car]]
Cars are used multiple times in the anime. Among the people with cars are [[Gary Oak]], [[Scott]] (whose car is based on a {{wp|Ford Thunderbird (eleventh generation)|2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird}}), [[Norman]], [[Reggie]], [[Professor Birch]], [[Bertha]], [[Eusine]], [[Cynthia]], {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Professor Juniper]].

An amphibious car is used by [[Grings Kodai]] and [[Goone]] in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==={{wp|Limousines}}===
[[Paris]] is seen coming out of a limo(a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Limo) with her {{p|Lopunny}} in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

==={{wp|Tank}}s===
[[Nastina]] was seen using a tank in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''. Team Rocket also used a tank in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time!]]'', to try to kidnap all the Circus Pokémon.
===Roller Skates===
Roller Skates are a new form of transportation, introduced in {{game|X and Y|s}}. They are faster than running shoes, but slower than the bicycle.

==Air==
===={{wp|Airship}}s====
They are used frequently by villains. Futuristic airships of a large size, powered apparently by anti-gravity technology of some kind. [[J]], [[Lawrence III]], and [[Zero]] all owned airships.

[[Team Plasma]] uses one in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], named the [[Plasma Frigate]].

===={{wp|Blimp}}s====
[[File:Sinnoh Blimp Airport.png|thumb|The Blimp Airport in Sinnoh]]
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket used a blimp in ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air!]]'' and ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. Another blimp is seen in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper!]]''. Misty later used a blimp to go back to [[Cerulean City]] from the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage]]''.

Ash, Dawn, Brock and {{an|Barry}}, along with Team Rocket, used an airship to go to [[Canalave City]] in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. Khoury, Lyra, and Khoury's father bid farewell to Ash, Dawn, and Brock at a Blimp Airport in Sinnoh near the end of ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

There are currently four known tickets that can be used to board a Seagallop Ferry: The {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}} allows the holder to travel to [[Knot Island|Knot]], [[Boon Island|Boon]] and [[Kin Island|Kin]] Islands, the {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Rainbow Pass}} to the same three islands, as well as [[Floe Island|Floe]], [[Chrono Island|Chrono]], [[Fortune Island|Fortune]], and [[Quest Island|Quest]] Islands, the [[MysticTicket]] allows travel to [[Navel Rock]], and the [[AuroraTicket]] allows travel to [[Birth Island]].

====S.S. Spiral====
{{main|S.S. Spiral}}
The S.S. Spiral is a boat in [[Sinnoh]] that runs from [[Snowpoint City]] to the [[Fight Area]] in the [[Battle Zone]].

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the S.S. Spiral was a regular looking ship. However, in {{game|Platinum}}, it had a redesign. The S.S. Spiral became a red boat with a crane on the back, and, its possible namesake, two spinning drills to part the ice floes in the area from Snowpoint City to the Battle Zone.

====S.S. Libra====
{{main|S.S. Libra}}
The S.S. Libra runs from [[Orre]] to other regions and is used as a Pokémon cargo ship. During the events of {{Pokémon XD}}, it was destroyed by [[Shadow Lugia]] and all the Pokémon currently in it were transformed into [[Shadow Pokémon]]. [[Michael]] later found its remains near [[Phenac City]].

====The Union====
{{main|The Union}}
The Union was hand crafted by [[Booker]] and remains at the [[Ranger Union]] in [[Almia]]. Before retirement, [[Murph]] took it to the [[Oblivia]] region to assist {{ra|Ben}} and {{ra|Summer}} with their missions there.

===={{wp|Submarine}}s====
[[File:Magikarp Submarine.png|thumb|One of Team Rocket's [[Team Rocket's mechas|submarines]]]]
Used by {{TRT}} many times and by Ash and his friends in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' and in ''[[AG094|Relicanth Really Can!]]''. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, a [[Submarine Explorer 1|submarine]] made by [[Captain Stern]] is stolen by [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] (depending on version) to reach [[Seafloor Cavern]], where either {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} is.

=====Pokémon Pincher's Submarine=====
{{main|Submarine (Ranger)}}
This is a submarine that is owned by the [[Pokémon Pinchers]]. It is later crashed.

====Other routes====
A variety of other unnamed boats are known to exist, for example:

* A ferry from the [[Seafoam Islands]] in [[Kanto]] to [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]] (anime, [[EP273]]).
* A ferry from [[Petalburg City]] in [[Hoenn]] to somewhere north of [[Viridian City]] in [[Kanto]] (anime, [[AG132]]).
* A ferry from somewhere in [[Kanto]] to [[Twinleaf Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] (anime, [[AG192]]).
* A ferry from [[Lily of the Valley Island]] to [[Twinleaf Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] (anime, [[DP190]]).
* A ferry from [[Twinleaf Town]] in [[Sinnoh]] to [[Kanto]] (anime, [[DP191]]).
* A boat from just outside [[Rustboro City]] to [[Dewford Town]] in [[Hoenn]] (games).
* A boat from [[Dewford Town]] to [[Slateport City]] in [[Hoenn]] (games).

* A ferry from [[Canalave City]] to [[Fullmoon Island]] in [[Sinnoh]] (games).
* A ferry from [[Canalave City]] to [[Newmoon Island]] in [[Sinnoh]] (games).
* [[Unova]] is said to be accessible by boat, due to being far away from the regions [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]].
* A water taxi from the outskirts of [[Pinwheel Forest]] to [[Castelia City]] existed before the [[Skyarrow Bridge]] was built (anime, [[BW021]]).

===={{wp|Kayak}}s and {{wp|canoe}}s====
Used by a [[Nurse Joy]] in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', and by Ash and his friends in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

====Team Rocket's boats====
Team Rocket has used many different boats in the anime.

===={{wp|Steam boat}}s====
Ash and his friends went on a {{p|Wailord}}-shaped Steam Boat in ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]''.

==All==
===Pokémon===
[[File:Riding on Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Pokémon riding on other Pokémon]]
Pokémon are also used occasionally for transportation. People, as well as Pokémon themselves, may ride on Pokémon for various reasons. This is mostly seen in races, wherein only Pokémon may be used to move around. This was first notable in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', where Ash and his friends joined a race. Many Trainers also attempted to use their Pokémon to reach Mewtwo's Island in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Ash and his friends also used {{AP|Lapras}} in going around the [[Orange Archipelago]].

Ash's {{type|Flying}} Pokémon were rode on many times, mostly by {{AP|Pikachu}} for looking for something or attacking {{TRT}}'s balloon. Pikachu rode on {{AP|Butterfree}} in episodes such as ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. It also rode on Pidgeotto, Swellow and Staraptor, Ash's bird-based Pokémon, multiple times.

Transportation in the Pokémon world

2013-11-03T14:50:54Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Generation V */

{{Unsatisfactory}}
There are various methods of '''transportation''' used in the [[Pokémon world]].

==Land==
===Shoes===
====Normal shoes====
These are the primary way of getting around in the Pokémon series of games. The {{player}} starts with these in the beginning of the game, and with them is able to walk around. They are used by pressing either Up, Down, Right, or Left on the D-Pad.

====Running shoes====
Introduced in [[Generation III]], the [[running shoes]] are a pair of shoes that allow the player to run by holding down the B button in conjunction with the directional pad. Running is not allowed in most buildings however, until [[Generation IV]]. Running speed is affected by terrain, such as marshes and snow. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the Running Shoes can be triggered on and off by using the touch screen.

===Cycles===
====Bikes====
[[File:EP036.png|200px|thumb|right|A bunch of cyclists in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang!]]''.]]
=====Generation I and II=====
In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is only a basic [[bicycle]] which is sold by [[Miracle Cycle]]. Only one obstacle is passable solely by bicycle, and that is [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]]. Bicycling is not allowed in most buildings.

=====Generation III=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there are two types of bicycles: the {{DL|Bicycle|Mach Bike}} and {{DL|Bicycle|Acro Bike}}. They can be swapped at [[Rydel's Cycles]] in [[Mauville City]].

The Mach Bike can move so fast that it can climb muddy slopes or pass over weak ground without falling through. If the player collides with something, the speed at which they are traveling will reset. On the [[Seaside Cycling Road]], the player's time and amount of collisions are recorded by a [[NPC]], and will be sent over to another player if the records are swapped. In addition, there is a period of two blocks of acceleration and deceleration when traveling on the Mach Bike, which makes immediate stops impossible.

The Acro Bike has the same speed as the bikes in earlier games, but can climb rocks in areas like {{rt|112|Hoenn}} and travel on white rails on {{rt|119|Hoenn}} and other places. In addition, if the B button is held while on the Acro Bike, the player will perform a wheelie. If the B button is held for several seconds, the Acro Bike will perform "bunny hops". Bunny hops allow the player to jump onto and along rugged rock paths, such as those found on [[Jagged Pass]]. If the B button and directional pad are used together, the player is able to jump over small gaps.

=====Generation IV=====
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, only one bicycle is available. This model however, has two gears which can be changed by pressing the B button, allowing [[Bike obstacles|obstacles]] to be jumped over with sufficient speed. Unlike the previous generations, bikes cannot be ridden in any buildings in Diamond and Pearl. This was changed in Platinum. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the bike only has one speed, as in Generation II.

=====Generation V=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the bicycle is similar to the ones in Generations I and II. The bike cannot be ridden in most buildings.
=====Generation VI=====
In {{game|X and Y|s}}, the bicycle is exactly the same as in Generation V, but comes in two colors.

=====In the anime=====
Bikes are used at various times in the anime, most notably when {{Ash}} borrows {{an|Misty}}'s bike, but crashes, thus ruining it. This bike is alluded to frequently throughout the first few seasons as a reason why Misty is angry at Ash. All of the main female characters, up until {{series2|Best Wishes}}, owned bikes, which were eventually destroyed. In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, when Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling on {{si|Cycling Road}}, they used bikes. {{an|Barry}} is also seen with a bike in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''.

===={{wp|Motorcycle|Motorbikes}}====
[[File:Wes's Motorcycle.png|left|thumb|Wes's motorcycle, as seen in the beginning of {{g|Colosseum}}]]
=====In the games=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}, [[Wes]] rides a futuristic levitating motorcycle.

The {{tc|Biker}}, {{tc|Roughneck|Cue Ball}}{{tt|*|Cue Balls are shown with motorcycles in FireRed and LeafGreen only}}, and [[Charles|Motorcyclist]] Trainer classes use motorbikes.

=====In the anime=====
Motorbikes have been used by [[Officer Jenny]] multiple times.
A [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunter]] used a motorcycle in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' when he was chasing {{OBP|Celebi|M04}}.
{{-}}

===Trucks===
[[File:Trucks anime.png|220px|thumb|right|A group of trucks in the anime]]
====Moving truck====
A truck is used by the player's family to move from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]] in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The player starts the game inside of the truck.

====[[S.S. Anne#Rumors|S.S. Anne truck]]====
A truck is located in a normally inaccessible part of the S.S. Anne, in Red and Blue. There were rumors that one can get a Mew or a rare item by using {{m|Strength}} on it. However, these proved to be false. In FireRed and LeafGreen, if the [[Itemfinder]] is used to look for an item near the truck, a [[Lava Cookie]] can be found instead, as possibly a reference to the rumors.

====[[Skyarrow Bridge]]====
Trucks can be seen on the Skyarrow Bridge. They are driving on the road beneath the walkway for pedestrians.

====[[Unova Route 4]]====
Trucks can be seen driving on the highway.

===Trains===
====Magnet Train====
The [[Magnet Train]] runs between [[Saffron City]] and [[Goldenrod City]], connecting [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions|Generation IV remakes]]. It was constructed some time after [[Generation I]]. To ride it, a person needs a {{key|IV|Pass}}, which was given to those displaced by the train stations' construction. A Pass can be received by the [[Copycat (character)|Copycat]] if the player returns her doll which was given to her by the player in Generation I and the [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen versions|Generation III remakes]] and found by a person in [[Vermilion City]].

====Freight train====
A freight train appeared in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''. It consisted of a red steam locomotive, numerous freight wagons and a passenger carriage at the rear. It runs on a line in the mountainous areas of [[Johto]]. The [[Pichu Brothers]] enjoy going for rides on it. {{DL|PokéPark (theme park)|The Pichu Brothers' Rascal Railway}} at {{OBP|PokéPark|theme park}} is likely based on this train.

====Ampharos Train====
A train powered solely by [[Ampharos Train crew|an Ampharos]] runs between [[Snowpoint City]] and [[Lake Acuity]] in [[Sinnoh]]. It was featured in ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks]]''.

====Battle Subway====
The [[Battle Subway]], accessible in [[Unova]] from [[Nimbasa City]], functions as Unova's version of the [[Battle Tower]]. One train can also be ridden by the player to [[Anville Town]].

====Other trains====
* Some passenger trains appeared in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]''.
* [[Outskirt Stand]] in [[Orre]] appears to be made from an old steam locomotive.
* There is also an [[The Under Subway|underground railway]] in Orre.
* [[LaRousse City]] has a monorail that circles the city, providing access to the central island.
* The various areas of the [[Pastoria City|Pastoria]] [[Great Marsh]] are accessed by rail.
* Another train appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', within which {{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} transforms into its Sky Forme.
* According to a book in the [[Nacrene Gym|Nacrene City Library]], trains were used for transportation in the [[Unova]] region before airplanes and thus there are old, disused train tracks in [[Nacrene City]].

==={{wp|Skateboard}}s===
In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', Ash and {{Gary}} race on skateboards. Skateboards were also supposed to appear in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as a different mode of transportation, but that idea was scrapped.

==={{wp|Segway PT|Segway}}s===
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] rode segways, although they were referred to as scooters.

==={{wp|Automobile|Cars}}===
[[File:ScottsCar.png|right|thumb|[[Scott]]'s car]]
Cars are used multiple times in the anime. Among the people with cars are [[Gary Oak]], [[Scott]] (whose car is based on a {{wp|Ford Thunderbird (eleventh generation)|2002-2005 Ford Thunderbird}}), [[Norman]], [[Reggie]], [[Professor Birch]], [[Bertha]], [[Eusine]], [[Cynthia]], {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Professor Juniper]].

An amphibious car is used by [[Grings Kodai]] and [[Goone]] in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==={{wp|Limousines}}===
[[Paris]] is seen coming out of a limo(a 1930 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Limo) with her {{p|Lopunny}} in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

==={{wp|Tank}}s===
[[Nastina]] was seen using a tank in ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]''. Team Rocket also used a tank in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time!]]'', to try to kidnap all the Circus Pokémon.

==Air==
===={{wp|Airship}}s====
They are used frequently by villains. Futuristic airships of a large size, powered apparently by anti-gravity technology of some kind. [[J]], [[Lawrence III]], and [[Zero]] all owned airships.

[[Team Plasma]] uses one in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], named the [[Plasma Frigate]].

===={{wp|Blimp}}s====
[[File:Sinnoh Blimp Airport.png|thumb|The Blimp Airport in Sinnoh]]
Ash, Misty, Brock, and Team Rocket used a blimp in ''[[EP082|A Scare in the Air!]]'' and ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. Another blimp is seen in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper!]]''. Misty later used a blimp to go back to [[Cerulean City]] from the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage]]''.

Ash, Dawn, Brock and {{an|Barry}}, along with Team Rocket, used an airship to go to [[Canalave City]] in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. Khoury, Lyra, and Khoury's father bid farewell to Ash, Dawn, and Brock at a Blimp Airport in Sinnoh near the end of ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''.

===={{wp|Hot air balloon}}s====
[[File:Team Rocket Balloon.png‎|thumb|Team Rocket's Meowth balloon]]
Used by Team Rocket in many episodes. Some balloons were shaped as a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, a {{p|Sneasel}}, a {{p|Gliscor}}, a {{p|Carnivine}}, and a {{MTR}}. A hot air-balloon was also used by Ash and {{Ashfr}} in the episode ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', a {{p|Pikachu}} one in Mewtwo Returns, and by various contestants, including Ash, in ''[[EP202|The Big Balloon Blow-Up]]''. There were also others in various other episodes like ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'' and in the movie ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Hot air balloon-like aircraft or dirigibles were also used in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however it possessed the notable difference of seeming to be driven forward in the air by Pokémon (in the episode's specific usage, Charizard).

===={{wp|Fixed-wing aircraft|Airplanes}}====
[[File:Jet Plane.png|thumb|Police Plane]]
Used by {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

Used by [[Officer Jenny]] and other police officers in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]''.

[[Grings Kodai]] has a seaplane in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

The [[Unova]] region, due to being far away from the other regions, [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]], is said to be reachable by plane. A plane was used by {{Ash}} to get there.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Mistralton City]] has an airport that houses two airplanes.

===={{wp|Hanglider}}s====
Used by [[Falkner]] in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.

Used by [[Domino]] and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

Used by Team Rocket in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]''.

===={{wp|Helicopter}}s====
Used by [[Team Rocket]], [[Team Magma]], [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Galactic]] multiple times and by {{si|Rhonda}} in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]''. A pilot working with {{ra|Ben}} used one in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]''.

===={{wp|Jet pack}}====
In ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] rode on jet packs to go to the location of their mission. [[Domino]] also used one in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Jet packs are also used by the [[Team Rocket Trio]] in the Best Wishes series to escape from the "[[Twerps]]", replacing their traditional hot air-balloon getaway; it has thus proved to be more effective.

===={{wp|Flying car (fiction)|Air car}}====
Seen commonly in the various {{pkmn|manga}}. Most notably, [[Officer Jenny]] patrols in a flying car in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. [[Wallace]] also has a flying car in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===={{wp|Cable car}}====
A cable car is the only transport to the summit of [[Mt. Chimney]] in the Hoenn region. The cable cars here have appeared in both the [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|games]] and the [[AG054|anime]].

==Water==
====Ghost ship====
{{main|Ghost ship}}
The '''[[ghost ship]]''' is a 300-year-old ship whose {{oi|captain}} won the [[Orange League]], and his trophy is protected by his {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. Until shortly before Ash and his friends arrived on [[Moro Island]], it rested on the bottom of the ocean of the coast of the island.

====Royal Unova====
{{main|Royal Unova}}
The '''[[Royal Unova]]''' is a luxury liner in the [[Unova]] region that sails up the river from [[Castelia City]]. It sails every [[Time|evening]] and returns to Castelia City when it is officially night. Many {{pkmn|Trainer}}s ride the ship. The Royal Unova can sometimes be seen passing underneath the [[Skyarrow Bridge]] while the player crosses the bridge, even if it is not evening when the player does so.

====S.S. Anne====
{{main|S.S. Anne}}
[[File:SS Anne FRLG.png|thumb|{{ga|Red}} leaving the S.S. Anne]]
Depending on the [[canon]], the '''[[S.S. Anne]]''' stops only once every four years, annually, or monthly in [[Vermilion City]]. The {{key|III|S.S. Ticket}} that is needed to board the ship is only given away to exclusive people, such as [[Bill]] and [[Professor Oak]]. However, they can give the ticket away to others.

====S.S. Aqua====
{{main|S.S. Aqua}}
The '''[[S.S. Aqua]]''' is a boat that runs between [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]] and [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

====S.S. Tidal====
{{main|S.S. Tidal}}
The '''[[S.S. Tidal]]''' is a boat that mostly runs in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]].

After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, it will always run between [[Lilycove City]] and [[Slateport City]], and to the {{ho|Battle Tower}} in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby and Sapphire]]. However, it will also run to other places if the player has a ticket. With the [[Battle Pass]], it will run to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} (in {{V2|Emerald}}); with the [[Eon Ticket]], it will run to [[Southern Island]]; with the [[MysticTicket]], it will run to [[Navel Rock]]; with the [[AuroraTicket]], it will run to [[Birth Island]]; and with the [[Old Sea Map]], it will run to [[Faraway Island]].

====S.S. Cactus====
{{main|Abandoned Ship}}
The '''[[Abandoned Ship|S.S. Cactus]]''' was a large ship from the Hoenn Region, that supposedly carried large amounts of passengers and cargo. However, for some reason, the ship was partially submerged along {{rt|108|Hoenn}}, where it currently remains ruined on a sandbar. It is not specifically known where the boat ran between, though based on its location, one could assume it might have stopped at either [[Slateport City]] or [[Dewford Town]]. In present day, many Pokémon live in it, and lots of Trainers enjoy exploring and training on the boat, known as the '''Abandoned Ship'''.

====Seagallop Ferries====
{{main|Seagallop Ferries}}
The [[Seagallop Ferries]] run between [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]] and each of the nine [[Sevii Islands]].

There are currently four known tickets that can be used to board a Seagallop Ferry: The {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Tri-Pass}} allows the holder to travel to [[Knot Island|Knot]], [[Boon Island|Boon]] and [[Kin Island|Kin]] Islands, the {{DL|Sevii Island passes|Rainbow Pass}} to the same three islands, as well as [[Floe Island|Floe]], [[Chrono Island|Chrono]], [[Fortune Island|Fortune]], and [[Quest Island|Quest]] Islands, the [[MysticTicket]] allows travel to [[Navel Rock]], and the [[AuroraTicket]] allows travel to [[Birth Island]].

Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection

2013-11-03T14:36:04Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Nintendo DS titles */

[[File:Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection logo.png|thumb|200px|WFC logo]]
'''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ニンテンドーＷｉ－Ｆｉコネクション|Nintendō Wi-Fi Konekushon}}''' ''Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection''), also known as '''Nintendo WFC''' for short, is a service run by [[Nintendo]] that allows free online play all over the world. It is used by [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS]], and [[Wii]] games.

==Features==
===Friend Codes===
{{main|Friend Code}}
Every game that utilizes the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection requires players to use a unique 12-digit code known as a '''Friend Code'''. It is generated when the player logs onto it for the first time, and it is used to identify other players on online play.

===Buying games===
The Wii allows players to buy [[Wii|WiiWare]] and {{wp|Virtual Console}} games from the {{wp|Wii Shop Channel}}. Players must use {{wp|Nintendo Points}}, which are bought with real money.

The [[Nintendo DSi]], on the other hand, allows players to buy {{wp|List of DSiWare games and applications|DSiWare}} games on the DSi Shop for Nintendo Points as well.

The Nintendo 3DS also allows the Nintendo eShop, and "ambassadors", people who bought a 3DS before the price reduction, can get 20 games and a certificate for free.

==In the games==
[[File:Connecting to WFC.png|frame|Connecting to Wi-Fi in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
The first [[Pokémon games]] to utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection were {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, with {{v2|Platinum}} following soon after.

===Features===

'''Xerosic''' (Japanese: '''クセロシキ''' ''Xerosicy'') is one of five [[Team Flare]] scientists in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

==In the games==
Xerosic is one of five [[Team Flare]] scientists that are the driving force behind the team. He is the only male Scientist of them all, who has red goggles and hair that makes an impression. He is first encountered in the basements of [[Lysandre Labs]].

Later, he runs his own lab from a hidden floor of Team Flare's lab. He uses [[Emma]] (unwittingly on Emma's part) in his experiments using his remote-controlled Expansion Suit. Part of his "experiments" involved hacking and stealing Pokéballs, alerting [[Looker]].

After being apprehended, he donated all of his Pokémon, and the (no longer remote operated) Expansion Suit to Emma.

=====[[Lysandre Labs]]=====
* Before battle
:''"So the [[Poké Ball]]s we received and the Pokémon we've gathered are where they need to be. Add it all up, and it means all preparations are complete!"''
:''"Oh ho ho! You're the one I've heard so much about! I've been waiting for you! I need to do a little research on you! Come, let us begin!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Oh ho ho! You're wonderful! Your Pokémon are amazing!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Wonderful! Amazing! You have tremendous skill and bravery! When you add that up, it means I will tell you something very interesting. It happened 3,000 years ago. The ultimate weapon was used to put an end to the war in an instant. If we use that incredible power, we can finally free Kalos of the foolish humans that plague it! Behind me you'll find a {{color|{{red color}}|red button}} and a {{color|{{blue color}}|blue button}}. One of them is the button for activating the ultimate weapon. Push one now! Come on! Push one!"''
::'''Red button:''' ''"You pushed it! Oh ho ho! You pushed the little red button! Too bad...for you! Pushing that button has enabled us to use the ultimate weapon! Don't feel too down, though. I would have activated it even if you had guessed correctly.''
::'''Blue button:''' ''"You pressed it! Oh ho ho! You pressed the blue switch! Winner, winner! Congratulations! But I'm still going to activate the ultimate weapon! I know the boss promised that we wouldn't if you pushed the correct button, but I refuse to let the potential go to waste! I'll just use my remote, here! Click-click! And the power is ON!
:::'''Either way:''' ''Come on! Look! Look at the monitor!"''

* If talked to before pushing the button
:''"I'm very curious to see the results of my research. To use the ultimate weapon to cleanse this world once and for all... It's fascinating!"''

* After pushing the button
:''"Did you see? The ultimate weapon is reborn! The poisonous flower has bloomed! All shall perish! Except for Team Flare! Look at Geosenge! It has bloomed in [[Geosenge Town]]! The boss's dream of creating a beautiful world will come true! Add it all up, and it equals... a victory for our SCIENCE!"''

==Blurb==

Our heroes have arrived on Harvest Island, famous for its delicious berries and the Grand Harvest Festival that celebrates them. Ash, Iris, and Cilan set off for the festival, and along the way, they come across a Pokémon they’ve never seen before—one that Ash’s Pokédex can’t identify! Ash just wants to catch it, of course, but when he challenges it to a battle, the electrical discharge from its frills knocks him flat, and its Trainer quickly runs up to apologize.

She introduces herself as Alexa, a Pokémon journalist from the faraway Kalos region. Along with her Pokémon, Helioptile and Gogoat, she travels the world for her job, writing about and photographing Pokémon in their natural habitat. Helioptile, who knocked Ash down, helps her by recharging her equipment, and Gogoat carries that equipment in its saddlebags—and remembers where it’s stored, something Alexa isn’t very good at!

Alexa has come to the island to cover the Pokémon Sumo competition at the festival, so they all decide to walk together. On the way, she fills our heroes in on the legend surrounding the competition: long ago, the island was in danger of going barren because people and Pokémon had stripped it of nearly all its berries. The island’s two strongest Pokémon fought each other to a standstill over the last remaining berry, and things looked grim...but a small boy picked the berry and split it in two, offering half to each Pokémon and telling them to share. The island recovered, and today, the Pokémon Sumo competition honors that fierce battle.

Ash, Iris, and Cilan all decide to enter the competition, and while they’re waiting for it to begin, Ash has a run-in with a rude boy named Rodney, who shoves him aside at the pie stand. It turns out Rodney has entered the competition, too, with his enormous Golurk, which makes short work of all its opponents! But Ash and Pignite are determined, and Rodney gradually begins to show respect for the pair’s persistence. Finally, with some clever maneuvering, Pignite manages to get Golurk off balance and throw it to the ground. Ash has won!

Rodney is disappointed, but Ash offers to split some berries with him, in an echo of the old legend. There are enough berries to feed the entire festival, and everyone happily joins in. Afterward, our heroes are ready to set out for the ship again when they learn that Alexa is heading to Kanto to work on her next article. So she’ll be joining them on their travels!

==Blurb==

Approaching the Capacia Island port after a long journey across the island, our heroes see something that looks like a shooting star—until it goes out of control and crashes into the ocean. Upon investigation of the debris, Ash finds an Amulet Coin, said to bring good luck to its owner. Excited, the three of them head to the Pokémon Center in town for a good night’s rest before they return to the ship.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is investigating the unidentified flying object as well. James finds his own Amulet Coin, while Meowth encounters a group of Beheeyem, who take him aboard their crashed ship and try to pry the Charm off his forehead! The Beheeyem have also tracked Ash’s Amulet Coin to the Pokémon Center and are now lurking outside...

The next morning, Ash wakes up to discover that everyone in town suddenly looks like Beheeyem! He runs to get help, but Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy have been afflicted with this mysterious condition as well. In fact, the only people he can find who don’t look like Beheeyem are Jessie and James. The three of them call a temporary truce to figure out what’s going on.

Jessie, James, and Ash come across a meeting in the town square, where a real Beheeyem is directing the townspeople to search for something that looks like the Amulet Coin that Ash found. When the townspeople notice the three of them eavesdropping, they are forced to find a hiding place, where they find Meowth again and learn about the flying saucer. Ash wants to confront the Beheeyem and make them return everyone to normal, while Team Rocket has plans to steal their technology for the Boss.

They sneak aboard the ship, where the Beheeyem take control of Meowth’s mind so they can speak through him. They explain that their ship crashed and lost its power supply—which, it turns out, looks a lot like an Amulet Coin, and also like Meowth’s Charm. Ash offers the coin he found, but that’s not the one they’re looking for. James decides that if his “coin” is really a spaceship’s energy source, it’s worth much more than he thought, so he isn’t interested in giving it up—until a helpful Thunderbolt from Pikachu sends the villains blasting off again and knocks the power supply into Ash’s hands.

Ash returns the missing piece to the Beheeyem, who repair their ship, release their hold on the town, and fly away. He meets up with Iris and Cilan, who have no idea what’s been happening. But that’s OK, because they’re ready to continue their journey!

* This episode aired on September 19, 2013 in Italy (on K2), sixteen days before the US airdate.

===Errors===
* During the introduction of the episode, the lights Meowth notices are from Beheeyem's left hand. The two reflections of Beheeyem's finger lights on Meowth's two eyes are shown symmetrically. Both eyes should have reflected the same light pattern (that is, a horizontally flipped left hand pattern), meaning that the pattern shown in Meowth's right eye is correct while the pattern shown in his left eye is wrong.
* When Meowth is angry, one of the Beheeyem has all six of its lights in the wrong place.
* When Pikachu is picked up by Ash, the black on his ears turn the same color as Ash's gloves during a few frames.
* In one scene, Pikachu jumps from Ash's left shoulder to the right one, overlapping through his hair and ear.
* The first possessed citizens that jumped into the manhole are different from the first ones who were shown falling underground.
* When Meowth found the boxes full of Pokémon masks for the carnival, Slaking mask's eyes are colored the same way as its skin, expect its scleras, and Pignite mask and Mienfoo mask got different pupil desings for some reason.
* The Beheeyem that James grabbed had its finger lights in the wrong position the first time it was shown.
* The two Beheeyem that possessed Meowth also had their lights wrong at first.
* When the five Beheeyem reunite to see Ash's koban, all of them have their finger lights in the wrong position, excluding the one in front of the others.
** This error is repeated when they see James's koban, since the four Beheeyem's footage is recycled.
* After reactivating the ship, a floating Beheeyem is shown with only its upper half drawn.

==Blurb==

What starts out as a beautiful day touring Capacia Island soon takes a turn for the worse. As our heroes follow the path across the island, Iris is distracted by a meadow full of beautiful flowers. As Ash and Cilan wait for Iris to decorate her hair with the blossoms, they spot a Dunsparce—a Pokémon known for being very cautious and hard to find—and Ash decides he has to catch it! Dunsparce responds with a Screech that knocks Iris’s flowers to the ground, where Ash accidentally crushes them. Trying to get away from the terrible noise, Axew bumps into Pikachu, giving the shy Dunsparce a chance to escape.

Ash blames Iris and Axew for the missed opportunity, and things turn a little chilly between them. When Ash finds a fruit tree and tries to make peace with Iris by sharing his discovery, he accidentally gives her a very bitter piece of fruit. She thinks he did it on purpose, and a real fight breaks out between them! After some heated words, she declares that she’s not going to travel with Ash anymore, and storms off...although, since there’s only a single path across the island, they’re still traveling in fairly close quarters.

That night, Ash and Cilan make camp, and Iris decides to sleep in a tree a bit farther away. Ash calls his Pokémon out for dinner, and Scraggy gets worried when it can’t find its good friend Axew. Ash explains that Iris has decided to travel alone, which makes Pikachu and Scraggy very sad. Early the next morning, the two Pokémon set off to find Iris and Axew and bring them back. But Jessie, James, and Meowth have set up an ambush along the path, and they leap out of hiding and grab Pikachu and Scraggy!

The commotion quickly draws Ash and Cilan—soon followed by Iris and Axew! Together, they send Team Rocket blasting off again. At Cilan’s advice, Ash finally apologizes to Iris, and offers her a new flower for her hair. Iris apologizes too, and gives Ash a much sweeter piece of fruit than the one he found for her. Our heroes are reunited, and the journey continues!

==Plot==
The episode begins with [[Ash]] and {{an|Iris}} arguing; Iris telling Ash off for being "such a little kid", and Ash retorting that Iris isn't much better off. Iris finally storms off in anger, declaring that she and Ash are no longer friends. Furious, Ash doesn't stop her, much to the worry and dismay of {{an|Cilan}}, {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Iris|Axew}}. Cilan narrates to the viewers that hours ago, he'd never have imagined this to happen.

At the beginning, the gang had just reached [[Capacia Island]], which [[Porter]] introduces as the largest island in the [[Decolore Islands]], and is home to many [[wild Pokémon]]. As the group makes their way through the main path to reach the other port on the island's opposite end, Ash expresses excitement in hopes of what Pokémon might appear. Iris remarks on Ash being a kid, before being distracted by flowers growing nearby, deviating from the path despite Cilan's advice. Ash and Cilan comment on Iris tending to lose herself around flowers as she picks a few and places them in her hair. Shortly after, a wild {{p|Dunsparce}} emerges from nearby grass, which Ash scans on his [[Pokédex]]. Iris is excited to see a wild Dunsparce, but Cilan hushes her, pointing out that Dunsparce rarely show themselves in front of people. Ash is motivated by this and decides to challenge Dunsparce and catch it, ignoring Iris's suggestion of coming up with a plan first.

Sneaking up behind Dunsparce, Ash boldly declares his challenge to Dunsparce, who releases a loud {{m|Screech}} in its panic. Everyone covers their ears in pain; the sheer force of Screech sends Ash tripping into Iris, knocking Axew and the flowers out of her hair. Ash orders Pikachu to use {{m|Electro Ball}}, but a dazed Axew crashes into Pikachu and throws the attack off balance. Fearfully, Dunsparce flaps its small wings and escapes on the air to Ash's dismay. Cilan admits that they probably won't encounter Dunsparce again. Upset, Ash blames Iris for letting Axew disrupt Pikachu; Iris yells back that Ash was reckless in his approach. Ash suddenly notices the flowers he accidentally crushed, and feels guilty. Fuming, Iris picks up Axew and walks past Ash and Cilan, determined to walk separately. Cilan watches in concern, knowing that an unresolved argument could easily lead to a much larger fallout.

As the group continues down the path, Cilan encourages Ash to get over Dunsparce and patch things up with Iris. Picking on this lead, Ash plucks some fruit off a nearby tree, sharing some with Cilan and declaring how delicious it is. As a peace offering Ash tosses one over to Iris, but as she bites into hers, she cringes from how incredibly bitter it is. Infuriated, Iris throws the fruit at Ash (which Cilan catches), accusing him of childishly getting back at her by making her eat bitter fruit. The argument escalates with Iris berating Ash for being a little kid, and Ash hits back saying Iris gets angry over anything and everything. Iris angrily says that she no longer wishes to travel with Ash, and Ash doesn't stop her from leaving. With Iris gone, Ash continues ranting over Iris's accusation, but Cilan takes a bite from Iris's fruit and realizes she was right, shuddering from the taste. Ash, taking a sample himself, is equally horrified. Cilan explains that fruit growing on the same tree can still vary in ripeness depending on which branch they're from. Ash is upset that he was wrong about Iris's accusation, but remains adamant that she shouldn't have lashed out at him for it.

Meanwhile, {{an|Team Rocket}} lie in wait ahead on the path. {{TR|Meowth}} explains to the viewers that they're getting ready to capture Pikachu when the twerps inevitably walk by.

Ash, Cilan and Iris continue walking along, Cilan worriedly narrating that the big argument ended up with the two friends cutting off ties - but despite this, everyone is still travelling together, due to the single linear path to their destination. Sure enough, Iris begins accusing Ash of following her "like a little kid", and Ash retorts that there's only one path. Iris shouts that she'll take a separate path, and disappears into the trees while Ash turns his head away in anger. Later that evening, Ash and Cilan set up for camp, letting out their Pokémon while preparing to make dinner. As the Pokémon are given their food, {{TP|Ash|Scraggy}} immediately starts looking around. Ash is confused at this until Cilan cheerily reminds him of Scraggy and Axew's friendship. Uneasily, Ash explains to Scraggy that Iris will be travelling separately and Axew had to go with her, saddening Scraggy. Aside, the rest of Ash's team looks to Cilan, also concerned about Iris. Whispering, Cilan reassures them that he believes Ash and Iris will eventually reunite and make up, since they're all headed for the other port on the island, and he knows that despite their argument they still really care for each other. Ash encourages the Pokémon to resume eating as he sets the table, but pauses as he realizes he's prepared an extra set of utensils for Iris; Cilan smiles knowingly, having confirmed his suspicions.

Some distance away, Iris and Axew have fruit for dinner as they watch the setting sun. Iris brags about how delicious the fruit she picked is unlike the one Ash picked out for her, remarking that Ash doesn't know how to tell the difference between sweet and bitter fruit. At this she pauses, realizing that Ash hadn't given her bitter fruit on purpose, but declares loudly that it doesn't matter since they're no longer friends. Axew looks down sadly and eats his fruit.

Nightfall comes, as does a sudden shower of rain. Ash looks for his team to recall them, but spots all of his Pokémon sitting on a tree stump, gazing into the distance while {{TP|Ash|Pignite}} shields everyone from the rain with large leaves. Ash realizes that they're all looking out for Iris, worried that she might be caught in the rain; Pikachu and Scraggy confirm this as they sadly nod back. Ash decides to climb the nearby tree with his sleeping bag and keep vigil himself, as Cilan comforts a worried Pikachu. Still in their tree, Iris remarks to Axew that their present state reminded her of when she started her journey, and promises Axew that she's happy as long as she and Axew have each other.

Morning has come, and Scraggy is first to rise, followed by Pikachu and Snivy. Scraggy is determined to find Iris and Axew and leaves for the path. Pikachu gestures to Snivy before chasing after Scraggy. Snivy sighs as she notes that Ash is still asleep, but Cilan reassures her that Ash will eventually follow as well. Unfortunately Team Rocket already has their sights on Pikachu and Scraggy...

Snivy eventually wakes Ash up by prodding him with her {{m|Vine Whip}}, who turns to see that everyone has awoken and is ready to leave. Ash gets down from the tree, but Snivy starts pushing him forward with her Vine Whip. {{TP|Ash|Pignite}} and {{TP|Ash|Oshawott}} join in, forcing Ash into a run down the hill as {{TP|Ash|Charizard}} neatly puts his backpack on. Ash is confused as to what everyone is doing until Cilan starts explaining their intentions. Cilan asks if Ash would ever leave his Pokémon behind if he had an argument with them, to which Ash emphatically answers in the negative. Making his point, Cilan says that likewise Ash wouldn't give up on a friend just because of a fight they had. Ash begins recalling all the fun times he had with Iris, and realizes what he needs to do: find Iris and sincerely apologize. He declares this to the others much to their happy approval.

Still trying to find Iris and Axew, Pikachu and Scraggy continue down their path but are intercepted by Team Rocket, who recite their motto. Pikachu uses Electro Ball to stop the net and Scraggy tries attacking Team Rocket with his {{m|Focus Blast}} but misses, and he and Pikachu are caught in another net just as Ash and Cilan show up. Ash tries to send out Charizard but is quickly netted with Cilan, leaving Team Rocket to fly away in their balloon. Meowth gloats to the viewers, earning him admonition by Jessie and James. Just then, a {{m|Dragon Rage}} erupts from the nearby trees, severing the rope tying Pikachu and Scraggy's net to the balloon. Iris jumps out to catch the falling Pokémon and frees them from their net, calling to Ash who then orders a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu to blast Team Rocket off.

Awkwardly, Iris and Ash face each other, and after a gentle prod by Cilan both of them profusely apologize. Pikachu finds some flowers while Axew picks some fruit, which they pass to their Trainers to exchange as peace offerings. Ash is amazed at how delicious the fruit is, while Iris is happy with the new flowers in her hair, and both of them make up. Cilan happily concludes the story to the viewers, saying that the friendship between Ash and Iris was restored as the episode ends.

SamurottMaster4747: /* Intro */

[[File:Mewtwo Project Adventures.png|right|thumb|250px|Red discovering Mewtwo in its tank]]
The '''Mewtwo Project''' was the name of a [[Team Rocket]] project in the Red, Blue, and Green arc of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Its purpose was to artificially create the most powerful Pokémon ever by enhancing the DNA of {{p|Mew}}. Originally intending to just synthesize the DNA, it was discovered that there wasn't a sufficient amount. [[Blaine]] had to use cells from his own arm to complete Mewtwo, making them dependent upon each other, and causing Blaine to defect from Team Rocket after Mewtwo escaped. They did not get the [[Mew Disc]]. Most of the scientists involved in the project were killed when {{adv|Mewtwo}} destroyed the [[Cinnabar Lab]] in ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too!?]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the anime, another {{an|Mewtwo}} also destroyed [[New Island|the laboratory]] in which it was created, in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is a main character in the manga series [[Pokémon Adventures]]. His first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} was a [[Poli]]wag, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning prior to the beginning of the story, and evolved once more into a {{p|Poliwrath}} in ''[[PS011|Buzz off, Electabuzz!]]''

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{DL|Red (Adventures)|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{adv|Blue}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB saga.

Red's special skill, as described by {{adv|Professor Oak}}, is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"[[Pokémon battle|Fighter]]"''' (戦う者 ''Fighter'').

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex holder]]s, second only to {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

==Character history==
==={{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}===
[[File:Red RGB chapter Adventures.png|left|thumb|100px|Red before facing Blue in the 9th annual Indigo Plateau Pokémon League]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist, and his main rival is {{adv|Blue}}. Red was first seen showing off his catching abilities to a group of little kids, but once they mentioned {{adv|Professor Oak}} and {{adv|Blue|his grandson}}, they left. He then sees a few [[Team Rocket]] Grunts and overhears them talking about {{p|Mew}}. He manages to find it, only to see that Blue, who he didn't know yet, was already battling it with a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}. Seeing Blue quickly recalling his Pokémon angers Red to a point where he sends out his own [[Poli]]whirl on it and is easily defeated. He then receives some words of wisdom from Blue and decides to suck up his pride and go to see {{adv|Professor Oak}}.

Red enters the seemingly empty lab and notices a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, only to be found by Professor Oak and mistaken for a thief. All of the Professor's [[Poké Ball]]s are then set loose, and Red volunteers to get all of them back. He does so, except for one last Pokémon - the same {{p|Bulbasaur}} from earlier, which he eventually finds in the [[Viridian Gym]]. He manages to calm Bulbasaur down only to be attacked by a wild {{p|Machoke}}. Red then figures out how to use {{m|SolarBeam}} on his own, impressing Oak to the point of giving him a [[Pokédex]] and [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] to keep. He is then sent along by Professor Oak to capture as many Pokémon as he can, and encounters Blue again in [[Viridian Forest]]. The two boys fight over a {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and Red finally learns Blue's name and status as Oak's grandson, beginning a [[rival]]ry with him.

Red later manages to catch a menacing [[Pika]]chu that was destroying industry in [[Pewter City]]. He then runs into {{adv|Blue}} again, learns of the {{Badge|Boulder}} and decides to challenge [[Brock]] and earn Gym Badges. After blowing through the preliminaries with [[Saur]] and [[Poli]] Red realizes that he needs his newly caught Pikachu to beat [[Brock's Onix]]. After a rocky first part of the match, Red earns Pikachu's trust and he defeats Brock. He later encounters [[Misty]] and [[Gyara|her Gyarados]] which had been stolen and went into an intense rage, horribly injuring Misty and her {{p|Staryu}} in the process. After re-capturing the {{p|Gyarados}} for Misty, Red learns about [[Team Rocket]] through Misty and Oak, and sets off to [[Mt. Moon]] after them with Misty. They win a battle against Team Rocket even after the admin [[Koga]] uses an injection to make his {{p|Rhyhorn}} evolve into a {{p|Rhydon}}. While staying in [[Misty]]'s mansion, Misty defeats Red to make him see that they need to be stronger if they want to defeat Team Rocket. After several days of training, he defeats her and wins the {{Badge|Cascade}}.

After stowing away and getting kicked off the [[S.S. Anne]], Red meets the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], learning from him that his {{p|Abra}}, along with other Pokémon, are being stolen. This leads him back to the S.S. Anne, where he runs into the owner, [[Lt. Surge]]. Lt. Surge, another one of [[Team Rocket]]'s admins, throws Red and [[Poli]] overboard, only to trigger Poli's evolution into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, saving Red from drowning.

Later, Red enters a bike racing contest and uses his Pokémon to give him a good lead, until he and several of the racers are stopped dead by a {{p|Snorlax}}. By using his Bulbasaur covered in honey he catches the Snorlax and wins the race, however all of his prize money is spent to feed it. He then journeys into the Pokémon Tower in [[Lavender Town]] to rescue {{adv|Blue}} who has mysteriously disappeared. He finds Blue possessed by a {{p|Gastly}} owned by [[Koga]]. Red then watches Blue defeat and slice Koga's {{p|Arbok}} in half, and gains some respect towards Blue.

Later, Red is scammed out of his money for fake items by a mischievous girl called {{adv|Green}}. He chases her down and gets his money back, only to realize that his first two Badges, the {{Badge|Boulder}} and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, are gone. He then deduces that the stolen {{p|Squirtle}} mentioned by Professor Oak must have been taken by Green and evolved into {{p|Wartortle}}. Upon hearing some [[Team Rocket]] grunts mentioning her, Red infiltrates [[Team Rocket]] to see what they know about Green, and finds her surrounded by a group of Team Rocket members looking for a mysterious chip she stole, containing information about {{p|Mew}}. Even after everything {{adv|Green}} did to him, Red saves her from Team Rocket. After that, the two of them go after Mew only to find that Team Rocket made it to it again, and Red has to stall them in order for Mew to get away. After this altercation, Green leaves, but not before leaving Red's Badges entrusted in his pocket.

[[File:Red Adventures Running.png|thumb|290px|Red with his team from the first volume's cover]]
Red then accidentally gets his Pokémon swapped with {{adv|Blue}} near [[Celadon City]]. When he tries to battle with them they refuse to obey him, but later he decides to play with them while Blue trains Red's Pokémon with more exotic and useful moves. Blue's Pokémon become more kind to Red and more lighthearted overall, something that greatly annoys Blue when he gets his Pokémon back.

Red then goes to [[Erika]] and challenges her, but she first requires that he proves himself by catching an {{p|Eevee}}. Eventually, with {{adv|Bill}}'s help, Red finds and catches [[Vee|a strange Eevee]] with the ability to swap between any of its evolved forms, due to a special device implemented in its ear. He then goes to find Erika and asks why Eevee is like this, and challenges her to a Gym battle. Erika easily defeats Red, and says that she will kill Eevee due to its deformity. Once Red uses [[Pika]] to protect Eevee, Erika reveals that it was simply a test and the real people that made Eevee like this were [[Team Rocket]].

Red next visits the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[Fuchsia City]], and although he isn't supposed to do anything except watch, he smuggles in a [[Poké Ball]] and catches a {{p|Nidoqueen}}, angering two {{p|Nidoking}} that were fighting over her. He manages to escape them but is then taken by a {{p|Victreebel}} to be eaten for an evolution ritual for the {{p|Bellsprout}} and {{p|Weepinbell}}. He gets away from them only to run into the Nidoking again, resulting in a fight between Nidoking and the Victreebel. Red uses this to catch both Pokémon, and catches many others before he is finally found by the Safari Zone Warden.

He then unknowingly helps Rocket boss {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he believes is just a researcher, get some [[Fossil]]s and get to [[Pewter City]] through [[Diglett's Cave]], only to see that Pewter Museum of Science is set ablaze by two {{p|Magmar}}. He battles the Magmar with Giovanni studying his moves. Giovanni eventually deduces Red is not a threat to Team Rocket since he lacks in cruelty, unfairness, and brutality. Red is then sent on his way, but not before Giovanni gives him an [[Old Amber]].

Wanting to reach the [[Seafoam Islands]], Red then goes to the bottom of a lake to retrieve the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}. He is instead confronted by a {{p|Dragonite}} and decides to use all of his other Pokémon to distract it, only to have their combined weight crush the HM and trap Red's leg under a rock. He is eventually rescued by [[Misty]], who appears and drives the Dragonite off with her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} and [[Gyara]]dos. Misty then trades Red's {{p|Krabby}} for her Gyarados, who knows {{m|Surf}}. On Seafoam Islands, Red encounters Team Rocket again, who are searching for {{p|Articuno}}.

He then reaches [[Cinnabar Island]], spotting Team Rocket once more and secretly watching them battle [[Blaine]]'s Pokémon from the edge of a cliff. A member spots him and threatens to throw him off the cliff if he doesn't surrender. Blaine appears but with his Gyarados, and the two of them easily overpower the grunts until they reveal their secret weapon, a {{p|Moltres}}. The grunts disperse and Moltres gives chase to the two of them on Blaine's {{p|Rapidash}}. When nothing that they do works, Blaine spots Red's [[Old Amber]] and has him revive it as fast as he can. He gets it revived into an {{p|Aerodactyl}} and with that, he is able to drive Moltres away.

Later, when Red, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Green}} all fail to get into [[Saffron City]], Red goes to [[Pallet Town]] to ask for {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s advice, only to realize that there is nobody there except for [[Sabrina]] and her {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}}, masquerading as Oak. Sabrina, Team Rocket's third admin, then appears to him and pins him to the floor with her psychic powers, challenging him to go back to Saffron City. {{adv|Blue}} then arrives and tells him that Saffron must be [[Team Rocket]]'s headquarters, and they find out that [[Vee]] is missing. Saffron City is protected from invasion by a large {{t|psychic}} barrier, so with some urging from {{adv|Green}}, Red and Blue team up. With [[Pika]]'s {{m|Substitute}} and Blue's {{p|Golduck}}'s {{m|Confusion}}, the two of them locate the source of the {{m|barrier}}, Sabrina's {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it, allowing access to Saffron City.

After a trap door splits him up from Blue while inside [[Silph Co.]], Red runs into [[Lt. Surge]], who has been equipped with many gadgets involving electricity and {{type|Electric}} Pokémon, powered by {{p|Zapdos}}. Red sends out [[Saur]] in defense and uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the electrical cords, causing Lt. Surge to get electrocuted. Red swipes the {{Badge|Thunder}} from him as well as a pair of gloves, and finds [[Koga]] standing victorious over {{adv|Blue}}. Red tries to stop Koga from killing Blue, but is restrained by Koga's {{p|Grimer}}. After a hard battle with the legendary {{p|Articuno}}, the same one that Red had saved earlier, the two boys defeat Koga. Red takes the {{Badge|Soul}} from him, and the two split up once again.

He runs into the Badge Energy Amplifier room, where he meets {{adv|Green}}, who hands him the {{Badge|Marsh}} in exchange for his {{evostone|Moon Stone}}. Red fits his seven Badges into the Amplifier and points it at his [[Pika]]chu, when Sabrina appears, and though he points it at Pikachu, the Amplifier does not work. Green then reveals that the two Badges that she returned to him earlier were fake, and escapes with the Amplifier, leaving Red to fight Sabrina. Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno are merged together when Green inserts the real Badges in, creating [[Thu-Fi-Zer|a new Pokémon]]. Combining their attacks, Red, Blue, and Green eventually defeat it.

Red then journeys back to [[Cerulean City]] to capture the "monster Pokémon", which turns out to be {{adv|Mewtwo}}. After attempting to catch it, Red and his Pokémon are almost sucked into Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}}. They are saved by [[Blaine]], and Red uses his whole team to fool Mewtwo and catch it with a [[Master Ball]] for Blaine.

[[File:Red Frozen Adventures.png|right|thumb|Red frozen on [[Mt. Moon]]]]
Later, Red encounters {{adv|Yellow}} being attacked by a {{p|Dratini}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. He helps her catch a {{p|Rattata}} and explains how battling and catching Pokémon works. He takes her back to Viridian City and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. He also learns that the Gym Leader there has been absent for a very long time. Entering the Gym, Red finally meets {{adv|Giovanni}} again, who reveals his true intentions behind the incident at Diglett's Cave. Giovanni then challenges Red with a catch: if Red loses he has to join Team Rocket. After a very intense and long battle, Red defeats Giovanni. He is offered to become the new [[Gym Leader]] of Viridian, but he first wishes to become a better Trainer and goes off to [[Indigo Plateau]].

With the Badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League, where he faces {{adv|Blue}} in the final match. Just as Oak notes how Blue has become more instinctual like Red, Red in turn has become more calm and is able to use knowledge as well as instinct. He defeats Blue and his {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} with [[Saur]] and emerges as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the 9th triennial Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]], who are watching the battle from the side.

==={{chap|Yellow}}===
At the beginning of the second chapter, two years after the end of the previous chapter, Red receives an invitation to battle [[Bruno]] of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Mt. Moon]]. During the battle, Bruno stops to let several Diglett and Dugtrio pass and then Agatha uses her mind controlling powers over him to render him incapable of further battle. Red is then confronted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who want him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity for the sake of Pokémon. They also want information about Giovanni so they can find the {{Badge|Earth}} to power the Badge Energy Amplifier that Agatha retrieved at the [[Silph Co.]] rubble. When he tells the truth, [[Lorelei]] freezes him in a block of ice, making everybody think that he has disappeared since nobody else had seen him for over a month. Only [[Pika]] escapes and makes it to {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|laboratory]], where he teams up with {{adv|Yellow}}.

Red's frozen ice sculpture is found by [[Brock]] in [[Mt. Moon]], but Red is nowhere to be found. Even [[Bruno]], looking for Red so they could finish the battle that they started, can't trace him. As revealed at the end of the chapter, {{adv|Giovanni}} eventually rescued Red, enabling him to seek out his friends and help them fight the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. Red arrives just in time to save {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]], finally finishing his battle with [[Bruno]].

==={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}===
[[File:Gold Red Mt Silver.png|left|thumb|Red and Gold heading off to Mt. Silver at the end of the third chapter]]
Red is offered the newly open position of [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], and even though he passes the test easily, he has to turn it down due to injuries he suffered from being frozen. He is also asked to help {{adv|Yellow}} deal with finding {{p|Lugia}} in [[Johto]], but also turns it down for the same reason. He learns from {{adv|Blue}} where to heal his wounds and leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]] with [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty|Green's Blastoise]], where he meets [[Sabrina]], also there to heal the same injuries. Sabrina informs him of the Gym Leaders meeting in the Pokémon League, and he later arrives at the scene in time to save {{adv|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] from a [[Magnet Train|train]] crash.

Red and Blue then travel underground with Blue's new {{p|Rhydon}} towards [[Ilex Forest]], where the villainous [[Masked Man]] headed. Along the way, they meet [[Bruno]] and [[Koga]], two former enemies, who help them on their way and tell them about {{p|Celebi}}.

When they arrive at [[Ilex Forest]], Red, Blue, and the other main characters then team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Masked Man]]. During the battle Red finally learns that {{adv|Yellow}} is a girl. At the end of the story, {{adv|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

==={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}===
[[File:Red FRLG Chapter Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|Red in the fifth chapter]]
From this chapter onwards, Red wears the new FireRed jacket and hat along with the same shoes and jeans from previously.

Red and Blue meet at {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s lab, where they find messages mysteriously asking them to leave their Pokédexes and head to [[Vermilion City]]. Once there, the two board the [[Seagallop Ferries|Seagallop Ferry]] to the [[Sevii Islands]], where they also find {{adv|Green}} being attacked by {{p|Deoxys}}. They are soon confronted by the new [[Team Rocket]] Admins, the [[The Three Beasts|Beast Warrior Trio]], as well as {{p|Deoxys}}, who is under control of Giovanni. As it turns out, {{adv|Professor Oak}} has been kidnapped by Team Rocket again.

Red undergoes special training under [[Kimberly]] on [[Boon Island]], where his [[Saur|Venusaur]] learns the legendary {{type|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with. Red loses his confidence, but eventually regains the will to fight in order to understand the meaning of his connection to Deoxys.

[[File:Red E Chapter Adventures.png|thumb||145px|left|Red in the sixth chapter]]
{{adv|Mewtwo}} shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. The two arrive at the Team Rocket helicopter hovering above [[Viridian City]], where Giovanni is searching for his long-lost son. After a very long and fierce battle, Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys. However, victory is short as [[Carr]], one of the Beast Warrior Trio, rebels against Team Rocket and, after placing his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordering them to use {{m|Explosion}}, takes over the helicopter. While Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]]. In the process, he discovers that Deoxys absorbed a sample of his blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the chapter, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by [[Sird]]'s beam intended for Deoxys.

==={{chap|Emerald}}===
Red, along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow, were transported as statues in boxes on the [[S.S. Tidal]] by the other main characters to the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} for their salvation. For most of this chapter, Red, along with four other Pokédex holders, remained frozen in stone. It was only towards the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{adv|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}. Free again, Red and the others helped fight [[Guile Hideout]]. In the aftermath of the battle, Red and the other Pokédex holders participated in the Battle Dome tournament, which ultimately concluded in Emerald claiming the Tactics Symbol.

==={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}===
Red makes a brief cameo appearance in a flashback when Gold talks about his training with him on Mt. Silver in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}.

==Pokémon==
Red's Pokémon nicknames are taken from two syllables from their Japanese language-version names.

Red, however, succeeds in hitting it with the inescapable {{ball|Master}} using Pika, and tells Blaine to teach it love and compassion after leaving it in his care.

Much later, long after it was released from Blaine's ownership, Mewtwo reappears in the [[Sevii Islands]] to serve as a partner for Red's battle with Giovanni, succeeding in defeating him and {{adv|Deoxys}} in an epic clash. Later, after Red allowed Deoxys to be freed from the Rockets, Mewtwo and the five Pokédex holders intercept the beam Sird meant to hit Deoxys with.}}

==Badges obtained==
===Indigo League===
Red only has seven of the eight Kanto Gym Badges. Although he defeated {{adv|Giovanni}} at [[Viridian Gym]], he has not obtained the {{Badge|Earth}}.

The Badges Red has obtained were not won in the traditional order. He earned them as follows:

* {{Badge|Boulder}} in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]''
* {{Badge|Cascade}} in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''
* {{Badge|Rainbow}} in ''[[PS020|Meanvile...Vileplume!]]''
* {{Badge|Volcano}} in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]''
* {{Badge|Thunder}} in ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]''
* {{Badge|Soul}} in ''[[PS031|The Art of Articuno]]''
* {{Badge|Marsh}} in ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]''

==Trivia==
* Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in [[VIZ Media]]'s original translations of [[Pokémon Adventures]], with the exception of [[Pika]]. Their English nicknames were first officially used in [[Chuang Yi]]'s translations of the ''FireRed and LeafGreen'' chapter.
** However, VIZ has recently begun to use nicknames for Red's other Pokémon beginning in {{PAV|9}}.
* Red has the same birth month and blood type as his main nemesis, {{adv|Giovanni}}.
* Red's birthday is the same day as when the first volume of Pokémon Adventures came out.

[[File:New Mauville outside E.png|180px|left|thumb|The entrance to New Mauville]]
After defeating [[Norman]] in [[Petalburg City]], return to [[Mauville City]]. There, you will see [[Wattson]] outside his Gym. When you go and talk to him, he will ask you to shut down the generator installed in [[New Mauville]], a subterranean power plant for the city, and gives you the {{DL|Key item|Basement Key}}, which unlocks the door to the plant. You must surf east from {{rt|110|Hoenn}} to reach New Mauville (its entrance is a cave).

After finding and entering it, the player will need to find the generator. There will be quite a few items scattered around inside, but some [[Item|item balls]] will actually turn out to be {{p|Voltorb}} or {{p|Electrode}}. There are no [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainers]] here, but there are [[wild Pokémon]] wandering around.

After shutting down the generator, leave New Mauville and head back to Mauville City. Wattson will thank you and give you {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}. You should now head east from Mauville to {{rt|118|Hoenn}}.

==Route 118==
[[File:Hoenn Route 118 E.png|350px|thumb|Route 118]]

Surf across the water here. When you reach land, it's only a few steps north past some Trainers to {{rt|119|Hoenn}}.
Before you reach Route 119, {{Steven}} will come and talk to you, but he doesn't say anything important.
(To the east is is {{rt|123|Hoenn}}, but access to this route is limited for now.)

Head north, past the house. Here, you will find a bridge: cross it and continue north. You will soon encounter a large building with {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s all around it. This is called the [[Weather Institute]]. Because [[Team Aqua]] is blocking the path ahead, you'll have to go inside and defeat them in order to move forward. What do they want from this science organization?

===Weather Institute===
Inside the Institute, you'll find even more Grunts. As you defeat them, you will learn their plans: they want to steal information about the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, and the rare Pokémon {{p|Castform}}.

When you defeat Shelly, Team Aqua will leave the Weather Institute. The professor of the Institute will be very pleased that you saved him and will reward you with a Level 25 {{p|Castform}}.

Castform is unique because it changes its type and appearance depending on the [[weather conditions]] during a Pokémon battle. If there is harsh sunlight, Castform becomes a {{type|Fire}}; if it's Hailing, it becomes an {{type|Ice}}; and if it's Raining, it becomes a {{type|Water}}.

Leave the building and head east across the river.

===Route 119===

After you've gone east a bit, head north to encounter your rival, who demands another battle with you.

After your rival has been defeated, he/she will give you {{HM|02|Fly}}, a useful HM move that allows you to instantly travel to any town or city you've already visited. Your next stop is [[Fortree City]], where you'll obtain another [[Badge]].

==Fortree City==
[[File:Fortree City RSE.png|300px|thumb|Fortree City]]

When you arrive in Fortree City, the first thing you'll probably notice is that the city is made entirely out of treehouses! The next thing you'll quickly discover is that the path to the [[Fortree Gym]] is blocked by something invisible. So you'll have to go on towards {{rt|120|Hoenn}}.

But first, there are some valuable items that you can obtain from the locals. A woman will give you {{TM|10|Hidden Power}} if you can guess which hand she's holding it in three times in a row (solution: right, right, left). A boy in another house will trade you a {{p|Plusle}} in exchange for a {{p|Volbeat}}; the Plusle, named Pluses, will be holding a {{DL|Mail|Wood Mail}}.

===Desk and chair shop===
There is a shop in the bottom-right corner of Fortree City that sells a variety of [[Secret Base]] decorations. There are two counters, one selling [[desk]]s and the other selling [[chair]]s.

===Route 120 (briefly)===
East of [[Fortree City]], after following the path for a while, you will encounter [[Steven Stone]] once again. He found another strangely invisible blockade (just as you did). However, Steven uses the [[Devon Scope]] on it and suddenly, a {{p|Kecleon}} appears! After fighting it, Steven will give you the Devon Scope.

Now, go back to the Gym, use the Scope, and a Kecleon will appear. This time, however, instead of attacking, it will flee. Now the path has been cleared and you're free to challenge the Gym.

==Fortree Gym==
[[File:Fortree Gym E.png|250px|thumb|Fortree Gym's interior]]
'''Be aware that the highest-leveled Pokémon you'll battle here is Level 33 and quite powerful.''' If you're ready, enter the Gym.

Fortree City's Gym involves a puzzle wherein you'll have to push rotating doors in order to proceed. At the end of the Gym, you will find the Gym Leader, [[Winona]]. She uses {{type|Flying}}s, so it's a good idea to use {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and/or {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. (It's unlikely that you'll have any {{type|Ice}}s at this point, although you may have a Pokémon that knows {{m|Ice Beam}}.) {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, and {{t|Fighting}}-types are at a type disadvantage here, and Flying-types are completely immune to {{type|Ground}} moves.

All of Winona's Pokémon know the move {{m|Aerial Ace}}, which ''never misses''. The first Pokémon you'll face in this battle is {{p|Swablu}}. It's a {{2t|Normal|Flying}}-type Pokémon, so it has the standard Flying weaknesses— Electric, Ice, and Rock. It shouldn't give you a problem... but it does know {{m|Perish Song}}, a move that will cause any Pokémon that hears the song to faint three turns later, unless it gets switched out. {{p|Pelipper}} has a 4× weakness to Electric-type moves, and one hit with {{m|Spark}} or {{m|Shock Wave}} will usually take it out in one hit. Be mindful that it has {{m|Protect}} to block attacks and {{m|Supersonic}}, which will confuse your Pokémon. {{p|Tropius}} is a real threat, with good defensive stats and powerful moves. It can restore up to half of its maximum HP with {{m|Synthesis}}, and has the devastating {{type|Grass}} move {{m|SolarBeam}}. It will not need to charge up in [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|sunny weather]], a weather condition that Tropius can activate with {{m|Sunny Day}}! However, this boosts the power of {{type|Fire}} moves, something that Tropius is weak to. {{p|Skarmory}} has exceptionally high Defense and is weak to Electric- and {{t|Fire}}-type moves. It knows {{m|Fury Attack}}, which strikes several times in a row, {{m|Steel Wing}}, which will deal supereffective damage to Rock-type Pokémon, and {{m|Sand-Attack}} to lower your Accuracy. The extra boost that Fire-type moves will get if the effects of Tropius's Sunny Day still linger may just be what you need to take out Skarmory. When Winona sends out {{p|Altaria}}, ''do not use Electric-type Pokémon against it''. This {{2t|Dragon|Flying}}-type knows the extremely powerful {{type|Ground}} move {{m|Earthquake}}. It can boost its Attack and Speed stats with {{m|Dragon Dance}}, and {{m|DragonBreath}} may cause {{status|paralysis}}. Altaria is weak to Rock-, Ice, and Dragon-type moves. Your best bet is to just keep attacking until you knock it out.

After being defeated, Winona will give you the {{Badge|Feather}}, which makes Pokémon up to level 70 obey and allows you to use {{HM|02|Fly}} outside of battle. She will also give you {{TM|40|Aerial Ace}}.

Now, head to {{rt|120|Hoenn}} again after healing up at the Pokémon Center.

Dokokashira door glitch

2013-09-06T00:45:08Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Documentation */

{{incomplete}}

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

It is similar to [[tweaking]] and the [[surf glitch]] in [[Generation IV]]. It can be used to enter the [[Hall of Fame]] without battling the [[Elite Four]] or the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==Explanation==
The '''Dokokashira door glitch''' takes advantage of the fact that in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the player is able to switch the slots of [[item]]s as well as Pokémon. However, an oversight of this feature was that if the player were to press the Select button on the items screen and then attempt to switch one of his or her Pokémon, the game tries to move an "item" that actually corresponds to some unrelated area of memory.

This is essentially like switching information about other data in the game, such as what kinds of items the player has, or the map location of the player. The game will take an item to be the information about one of the "Pokémon" past the sixth slot (or data after the amount of Pokémon that the player currently has in the party).

When the player switches {{key|I|Oak's Parcel}} as the second item in his or her Bag with his or her first Pokémon, this will 'shuffle' several bytes within the game. Some of these effects are undesirable, such as slight graphical errors on the main map interface; however, one of the more useful effects will ensure that the warp location of the next door the player walks through is relevant to the amount of extra steps he or she takes, with the warp location changing every extra four steps.

==Path calculation==
An equation from [[Glitch City Laboratories]] allows calculation of the map location the player will appear after walking through the doors affected by this glitch.

It is: Warp ID= k-(steps/4), where "Warp ID" is the [[List of locations by index number (Generation I)|map identifier]] that the player is warped to, "steps" are the amount of steps walked by the player and where "k" is a constant, depending on the player's map location.

There are certain entrances which don't warp the player. If the player enters or exits one of these locations, the amount of "steps walked" will be reset to 0 and the map constant is refreshed. This equation is not applicable if the right side of the equation falls below zero.

===Constants===
Below is an incomplete list of constants (k), used in the path calculation equation above.

*[[Pallet Town]]: 39 (reset "steps taken" to 0 and refresh map constant via the start of Route 1, player's house and Professor Oak's Lab)
*[[Celadon City]]: 122 (reset "steps taken" to 0 and refresh map constant via the Pokémon Center and Celadon Condominiums.

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

===Hall of Fame warp===
To warp to the [[Hall of Fame]], players must complete the above method, then follow this method. From the spot the wild Pokémon was battled, the player should take around ''83'' steps, landing the last step on the door of {{ga|Blue}}'s house in [[Pallet Town]]. The player will warp to {{rt|7|Kanto}}, from where the player should walk to [[Celadon City]], enter the [[Pokémon Center]], immediately exit it, then enter the [[Celadon Department Store]] through the right entrance in the most linear way possible. The player will warp to [[Indigo Plateau|Lance's room]], where the player should proceed through the back door. The player should then walk past {{ga|Blue}}, into the next room. The player will now be in the [[Hall of Fame]], which counts as the player defeating the [[Pokémon League]] and will display the credits. Alternatively, entering the Celadon Condominiums building instead of the Pokémon Center will warp the player right to the Hall of Fame room after entering the Celadon Department Store, although with glitchy graphics.

{{youtubevid|d4jBckP_mag|ChickasaurusGL|spicy}}

===Unused map 1 warp===
An alternative version of the {{rt|6|Kanto}} entrance to Underground Path, with a default music theme of Vermilion City, instead of its final Pewter City theme.
By traveling 83-87 steps after activating the glitch in {{rt|1|Kanto}} and landing the final step on the door of {{ga|Blue}}'s house, the player will now be in {{rt|7|Kanto}}. Then the player should walk to either the Celadon City Pokémon Center, or the Celadon Condominiums building and immediately walk out and travel an additional 188-191 steps, landing the final step in the right-most entrance of the Celadon Department Store.

{{youtubevid|Uia4yd_xnFM|ChickasaurusGL|spicy}}

==Name origin==
The English name of this glitch stems directly from the Japanese name. "Dokokashira" is a transliteration of the Japanese word "どこかしら", which literally means "Where is it". The rest of the name is simply a translation of the Japanese name. The Japanese name is based on the fact that the {{player}} is caused to warp around to seemingly random positions after walking through the door into {{ga|Blue}}'s house, which can cause the player to become lost and may make some Japanese players exclaim "どこかしら".

Original Trainer

2013-09-01T23:02:44Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* N's Pokémon */

[[File:OT ID.png|thumb|This {{p|Tepig}}'s original Trainer's name is '''{{ga|Hilbert}}'''.]]
The '''original Trainer''' (Japanese: '''おや''' ''owner''), or '''OT''', of a Pokémon is the [[Pokémon Trainer|Trainer]] who caught or hatched the Pokémon in question first. The original Trainer's name is used in conjunction with their [[Trainer ID number|ID number]] to verify which Pokémon are [[outsider Pokémon]] by the {{pkmn|games}}.

==In the games==
Pokémon receive the OT of the Trainer who originally caught, hatched, received, or snagged the Pokémon. NPC Trainers who give away Pokémon for free will not be registered as the Pokémon's OT, except for in two instances - a {{p|Spearow}} given by {{jo|Webster}} and a {{p|Shuckle}} given by [[Kirk]], both in the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|their remakes}}. These special instances are different in that the Pokémon received is intended to be later returned, in Webster's case to his friend on {{rt|31|Johto}}, and in Kirk's case, to him after {{ga|Silver}} has been defeated at [[Mt. Moon]].

A Pokémon bred by a player which is traded as an Egg to another will be registered to the hatching Trainer, while the breeder will not matter. A [[Shadow Pokémon]] that has been snagged will initially display its OT as question marks, however, after becoming purified, it will have the person who purified it as its OT, with no mention made of the Trainer it was snagged from.

{{p|Shedinja}} retains the {{p|Nincada}}'s OT.

==Effects==
While a traded Pokémon doesn't really change in any way (with the obvious exception of those who evolve through this method), a Trainer lacking the proper Badges will be unable to control a Pokémon over a specified level; this issue is only encountered because said Trainer is not the original one. Only the OT can change the nickname of a Pokémon as well. A Pokémon will have a specified ID number (identical to their Original Trainer's) and without any sort of cheating device, it will stay the same as long as the creature's data remains in the game. Traded Pokémon will gain an additional 50% bonus to experience from battles, making them easier to level up. This also applies to experience gotten through [[Exp. Share]]—so if a single Pokémon would gain 1000 [[experience]] points from a battle, in the case of the Exp. Share division, the Pokémon without the Exp. Share would gain 500 experience points, and the Pokémon with it would gain 750.

==N's Pokémon==
In [[Black 2 and White 2]], the player will have the opportunity to catch Pokémon that were once used by [[N]] via the [[Memory Link]]. Though the player is the one that catches these Pokémon, the Pokémon will have N as the OT, making [[N's Pokémon]] [[outsider Pokémon]]. Like other outsider Pokémon, N's Pokémon receive boosted experience points.

==Special original Trainers==
{{main|List of notable ID numbers}}
Sometimes, there are special original Trainer names assigned to Pokémon if they come from a non-standard Pokémon game or are received as a prize.

==Trivia==
* The OT will be highlighted as blue if it is a male Trainer and red if the Trainer is female from [[Generation III]] onward (except in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}).
* There is a limit to the length of a Trainer's name. In the Japanese and Korean versions, the limit is five characters. In European language versions the limit is seven characters. In Japanese versions of [[Generation III]] games, there was a bug where the extra two characters of an international Pokémon's OT would not display. This also occurred with the extra five characters in Pokémon names.

Monster Brain

2013-08-31T19:36:27Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Colorizer */

{{incomplete}}
[[File:Monster Brain.png|thumb|right|Pelican Accessories Monster Brain]]
The '''Monster Brain''' is a [[Cheating|cheat]] device specifically designed for Pokémon games made by Pelican Accessories. It is compatible with the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games. In addition to cheat features it allows for game [[Saving|save]] backups for all [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games and the making of custom color palettes for Type 1 and Type 2 cartridges when played on a Game Boy Color.

===Functions===
====Editor====
The main function of the Monster Brain is the save editor.

=====Generation I=====
For Generation I games the editor allows the user to:
*Edit [[Player character|Your]] Name
*Edit [[Rival|Rival's]] Name
*Edit [[Pokémon Dollar|Money]]
*Edit Time
*Edit [[Badge]]s
*Edit [[Pokémon]]{{tt|*|listed as Edit Monster in the menu}}
*Edit [[Item]]s

=====Generation II=====
For Generation II games the editor allows the user to:
*Edit Your Name
*Edit Rival's name
*Edit Properties
**Edit Money
**Edit Time
**Edit Badges
**Edit [[Time|Clock]]
**Edit ID #
**Edit [[Pokédex|Seen Dex]]
**Edit [[Pokédex|Caught Dex]]
**Edit [[Pokégear|Gear]]
**Allow {{m|Fly}}
**Edit Gender ({{v|Crystal}} only)
*Edit Pokémon{{tt|*|listed as Edit Monster in the menu}}
*Edit Pack
**Edit [[Item]]s
**Edit [[Poké Ball|Balls]]
**Edit Key Items
**Edit [[TM]]/[[HM]]
*Enter Poke

====Enter Poke====
A '''Poke''' is similar to a [[GameShark]] code in that it allows specific manipulation of data in memory. The Monster Brain does not have a list of codes entered and is unable to turn them off once entered. This feature was not well documented by Pelican Accessories as no list of Poke codes were included with the device. There is a program available online [http://www.ocf.berkeley.edu/~jdonald/pokemon/] that will convert a GameShark code to a Monster Brain Poke code, but because of the differences in the way the devices handle codes they don't always work properly.

====Colorizer====
The '''Colorizer''' allows a user to make a custom color palette for use on the Game Boy Color when using a Type 1 or Type 2 game cartridge. This feature can be used by all Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, including Pokémon games. It is activated by pressing a physical button on the Monster Brain itself during an initial screen, or during game play.

Activating the Colorizer on a Type 2 cartridge when using a Game Boy Color will trick the system into thinking it is a Type 1 cartridge allowing a custom palette to be defined. Similarly, because the Monster Brain itself is designed for the Game Boy Color the colorizer must be activated to use it on a different system such as the original Game Boy or the [[Super Game Boy]]. If using the Super Game Boy the corresponding game's border and color palette will be activated after the game itself is started.

=====Blast Off=====
The '''Blast Off''' menu has options pertaining to colorized games. It has the options Update Colors and Double Speed.

====Memory====
The '''Memory''' menu has several options, allowing save files to be backed up, restored, and deleted for any Game Boy or Game Boy Color Game.

==Limitations==
With the available options, editing a Pokémon's [[individual values]] is not possible. In addition, when used with Generation II games it is not possible to define [[Pokérus]] as a [[status ailment]].

F.E.A.R.

2013-08-30T18:56:25Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Countering F.E.A.R. */

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Catching Pokémon with F.E.A.R. ==

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

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}
'''Pokémon FireRed Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターファイアレッド|Poketto Monsutā Faiareddo}}''' ''Pocket Monsters {{tt|Firered|It's the officially trademarked name, not spelled in CamelCase.}}'') and '''Pokémon LeafGreen Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターリーフグリーン|Poketto Monsutā Rīfugurīn}}''' ''Pocket Monsters {{tt|Leafgreen|It's the officially trademarked name, not spelled in CamelCase.}}'') are a pair of [[Version|main series]] [[Generation III]] games that are set in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. They were released in Japan on January 29, 2004, in North America on September 9, 2004, in Australia on September 23, 2004 and in Europe on October 1, 2004.

By nature, the games are [[remake]]s of the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s|Pocket Monsters Red & Green}}, and so feature all of the characters, plot elements, and challenges of them, but with several important upgrades to bring them up to speed with other Generation III games.

The [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] was initially included with the games when they were first released, eliminating the need for [[link cable]]s when trading between the two games (and later {{game|Emerald||Pokémon Emerald Version}}). In later copies, it was sold separately.

FireRed and LeafGreen went on to become the second best-selling games of the [[Game Boy Advance]], only behind {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions}}. They also received [[Nintendo]]'s ''{{wp|Nintendo Selects|Player's Choice}}'' awards.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The plot essentially follows the same storyline as [[Generation I]], with the {{player}} beginning in [[Pallet Town]]. After meeting [[Professor Oak]] while trying to leave for {{rt|1|Kanto}}, both the player and his or her [[rival]] are asked by Oak to choose a [[starter Pokémon]], {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, from the desk near him. Oak allows the player to choose first and the [[rival]] quickly gets jealous, chooses the starter whose [[type]] weakens that of the player's, and challenges the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. During this Pokémon battle [[Professor Oak]] commentates.

After the battle has ended, Oak allows the two new Trainers to leave for their journey across [[Kanto]]. Stopping off in [[Viridian City]]'s [[Poké Mart]], the player will find that a {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|package}} has come in for the professor, and the clerk asks that it be delivered to him. After this has been completed, the professor gives two [[Pokédex]]es, one for the player, and one for the rival, away to them, and sends them on their way. Viridian has a Gym; however, it is locked.

From here, the player has their first encounter with other Trainers, on {{rt|2|Kanto}} and in [[Viridian Forest]], and their first encounter with a [[Gym Leader]]: [[Brock]] the {{type|Rock}} Gym Leader of [[Pewter City]]. After his defeat, journeying along {{rt|3|Kanto}} and through [[Mt. Moon]] brings the player face to face with the regional [[villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Rocket]] attempting to extract rare [[Fossil]]s from the cave. Their defeat allows the player to continue through the cave, obtain the [[Dome Fossil]] or [[Helix Fossil]], and continue onto {{rt|4|Kanto}}, which leads directly into [[Cerulean City]], where another [[Gym]] is. This one, however, is run by [[Misty]], and specializes on {{type|Water}} Pokémon. To the north, as well, there are two [[route]]s leading up to [[Bill]]'s cottage, where he will give the player a ticket for the [[S.S. Anne]], a luxury ship moored in {{ci|Vermilion}} Harbor and filled with Trainers. Taking a shortcut through a house burglarized by Team Rocket, the player finally arrives at {{rt|5|Kanto}}.

After traveling down Routes 5 and {{rtn|6|Kanto}}, using the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 5-6}} to bypass [[Saffron City]], the player finally arrives in {{ci|Vermilion}}. This city is home to another Pokémon Gym; however, the way to it is blocked by a small tree. The only thing to do is to show the ticket to the {{tc|Sailor}} guarding the harbor, allowing entry into the S.S. Anne. It is here, after assisting the captain with his seasickness, that the player will obtain the first of the seven [[HM|Hidden Machines]] available in the game, containing {{m|Cut}}. With this, and the {{Badge|Cascade}}, the tree blocking the way to Vermilion Gym can be easily cut through, and [[Lt. Surge]], a Gym Leader specializing in {{type|Electric}}s, can be challenged. From here, {{rt|11|Kanto}} beckons, as does [[Diglett's Cave]], through which is the only way to get back to {{rt|2|Kanto}}, and a second HM, containing {{m|Flash}} held by one of [[Professor Oak]]'s aids on {{rt|2|Kanto}}. The player takes a brief detour to Pewter City's museum's back entrance which was previously blocked due to a Cut-able tree, which can now easily be bypassed. The player obtains the [[Old Amber]] in the museum. Heading back to Diglett's Cave, and to Vermilion, the player must go to Cerulean and to the east, onto {{rt|9|Kanto}} and towards the [[Rock Tunnel]].

Rock Tunnel, a still undeveloped natural tunnel between the sections of {{rt|10|Kanto}}, is pitch black inside; for this reason, {{m|Flash}} is recommended, but not required, for navigation of it. Finally reaching [[Lavender Town]], the only town in Kanto without a Pokémon Gym besides Pallet, there is not much to do; the local [[Pokémon Tower]] is haunted. From here, {{rt|8|Kanto}} leads to Saffron City, but it again must be bypassed by way of another {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}}, which has its other entrance on {{rt|7|Kanto}}, on the west side of Saffron. [[Celadon City]], the home of the fourth Gym, specializing in {{type|Grass}} Pokémon is just a short walk further. Like the Vermilion Gym, the Celadon Gym also has a small tree blocking the way to its entrance, and an old man outside.

The [[Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon is not what it appears to be. In fact, the Game Corner itself is merely the above ground portion of a sprawling underground complex: the [[Rocket Hideout]]. The Team Rocket boss, Giovanni, appears for the first time here, and after his defeat, flees, leaving behind a Silph Scope. A Silph Scope is required to fully navigate the Pokémon Tower inside of Lavender Town that the player encountered earlier.

After this, the Pokémon Tower can be navigated, and the ghosts haunting it are revealed to be {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}. In front of the stairs to the final floor, blocking the way, is also a final spirit, that of a deceased {{p|Marowak}} that was killed by Team Rocket when they captured her child. Making it all the way to the top reveals [[Mr. Fuji]] held hostage by Team Rocket grunts, who will leave when they are defeated. Fuji gives away the [[Poké Flute]], and with that, the {{p|Snorlax}} blocking {{rt|11|Kanto}} and {{rt|16|Kanto}} can finally be moved away. Another HM, containing {{m|Fly}}, can be obtained easily by cutting away a tree blocking the northern section of Route 16.

Now the player is presented with a choice of how to get to [[Fuchsia City]]. Traveling down either way the Snorlax are blocking, a faster way via Routes 16, {{rtn|17|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|18|Kanto}} on [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]], or down the [[Silence Bridge]] of Routes {{rtn|12|Kanto}}, {{rtn|13|Kanto}}, {{rtn|14|Kanto}}, and {{rtn|15|Kanto}}, inevitably brings one to the southernmost city in continental Kanto, [[Fuchsia City]], home of [[Koga]] of the {{t|Poison}}ous Fuchsia Gym and the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. The Safari Zone is currently running a contest: the person to reach a specific rest house first will win yet another HM, containing {{m|Surf}}. Finding the [[Baoba|Safari Zone Warden]]'s {{key|III|Gold Teeth}} also will have him reward the player with the final of Kanto's HMs, containing {{m|Strength}}.

The player then goes back to either [[Celadon City]] or [[Lavender Town]], encountering the other {{p|Snorlax}} on the way back. After stopping off at the [[Celadon Condominiums|Celadon Mansion]] and getting some {{DL|Drink|Tea}}, Saffron City can finally be entered. However, Team Rocket is guarding almost every door in the city, including that of the local Pokémon Gym! One of the open buildings however, is the unofficial Fighting-type Pokémon Gym. After the player defeats the Fighting Dojo, he/she is entitled to either a {{p|Hitmonchan}} or a {{p|Hitmonlee}}. The city's centerpiece building, [[Silph Co.]]'s headquarters, has also been infiltrated by the organization, and at the top, waiting in the boardroom, is the Team Rocket Boss, [[Giovanni]], appearing for a second time, demanding that the president give him the [[Master Ball]] that the company had developed. After his defeat, he flees.

After Team Rocket clears out of [[Saffron City]], all buildings previously blocked are now open, as well as the Gym. The Gym Leader, [[Sabrina]], specializes in {{type|Psychic}}s. The floor, as well, is covered in warp tiles that make it difficult to navigate. After Sabrina's defeat, the player makes his/her way back to Fuchsia City again, and heads out to obtain the rest of the Badges.

With six Badges in hand, and five HMs in the {{key|III|TM Case}}, finally the player can adventure onto the open sea of Routes {{rtn|19|Kanto}} and {{rtn|20|Kanto}}. A short way across them, of course, is a minor obstacle: the [[Seafoam Islands]]. After they have been navigated through, the player can continue on Route 20 to [[Cinnabar Island]], home of [[Blaine]]'s {{type|Fire}} Gym. There are also several more facilities on the island, including one that actually revives Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. After Blaine's defeat, [[Bill]] shows up again, because he needs help in a small region south of Kanto, the [[Sevii Islands]]. If the player accepts, the [[Seagallop Ferry]] will travel to {{OBP|One Island|town}}, where a friend of Bill's, [[Celio]], is attempting to connect the islands' PC system to that of Kanto. During this, there is also a crisis in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}, where the daughter of the owner of the [[Joyful Game Corner]] has gone missing, and in {{OBP|Three Island|town}} where a group of invading {{tc|Biker}}s are causing trouble. After defeating them and finding the lost girl, [[Lostelle]], who is in [[Berry Forest]], Bill and the player will return to Kanto, where the final Gym, that of Viridian City, lies.

Finally unlocked, the Gym, whose leader specializes in {{type|Ground}}s, is revealed to be none other than the boss of Team Rocket himself, [[Giovanni]]! After his defeat, he vows to disband Team Rocket and disappears. Now with eight Badges, all that lies ahead is the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]], conveniently at the end of {{rt|23|Kanto}}.

The [[Elite Four]] await challengers, those who have proven themselves worthy by getting all eight Badges and making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} will face them, in order. [[Lorelei]], who [[Pokémon training|trains]] {{type|Ice}} Pokémon is first, followed by [[Bruno]], whose specialty is {{t|Fighting}}, [[Agatha]], whose specialty is {{t|Ghost}}, and finally [[Lance]], who specializes in {{type|Dragon}}s. After defeating these four, the reigning [[Pokémon Champion]] challenges the player to a final battle, and the Champion is none other than the player's own rival! After his defeat, Oak arrives and tells the player that they won because they care better for their Pokémon, and the player's current [[party]] are added to the [[Hall of Fame]].

===Postgame===
After the credits roll, the player is back in Pallet Town. [[Professor Oak]] will have the player come to his lab to check on the Pokédex, and if the player has caught at least 60 Pokémon, will upgrade it and ask for the player to return to the Sevii Islands to encounter Pokémon that Professor Oak has never before seen.

There is some more work that Celio needs to do on his network machine, as he wishes to link to yet [[Hoenn|another region]]. The signal, however, is not strong enough, and he needs the Ruby and the Sapphire, two items found in the Sevii Islands, to strengthen it. The Ruby is found deep in a cave in [[Mt. Ember]], which Team Rocket grunts have been seen fooling around with. The Sapphire lies at the deepest part of the [[Dotted Hole]] in [[Ruin Valley]]. The Ruby can be given to Celio without a hitch; however, the Sapphire, when found, is stolen by a {{tc|Scientist}} named [[Gideon]], who takes it back to Team Rocket's [[Rocket Warehouse|warehouse]] in the [[Five Isle Meadow]]. By infiltrating the warehouse and defeating the remaining Rocket Admins, they realize that Giovanni has disbanded Team Rocket. They do, however, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|vow to return one day]], and bring Team Rocket back to its glory. Gideon reluctantly gives back the Sapphire, and after this, trades are possible with the [[Hoenn]]-based {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The Elite Four can once again be challenged, and their Pokémon are 12 levels higher, as well as some of them possessing new Pokémon. [[Cerulean Cave]], as well, is now open, and the powerful {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found there.

==Changes from Pokémon Red and Green==
[[Image:FireRed First Battle.png|thumb|300px|The battle screen]]
* {{Player|Players}} can now play as a {{ga|Leaf|female character}} as an alternative to the {{ga|Red|male character}} that was the only option in [[Generation I]].
* As in all [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, Pokémon now have [[nature]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[gender]]s, and can [[held item|hold items]].
* A resume feature was introduced, allowing players to remember the four most important events they achieved in the games the last time they were played. Once the [[Elite Four]] has been defeated, the resume feature displays the last four notable things the player has done recently instead of showing a specific event.
* A game introduction feature, which explains the controls of the game, was added. This feature continued to appear in further games, except in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* A help feature was added that can be activated by pressing the L or R buttons on the console. There is also another help feature in the form of the {{key|III|Teachy TV}}, which is given by an {{ka|old man}} in [[Viridian City]].
* When entering certain locations, such as [[Viridian Forest]] or [[Diglett's Cave]], an image of the location appears.
* {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} now are {{2t|Electric|Steel}}, as they have been since [[Generation II]]. In the original {{v2|Red and Green|s}} games, they were pure {{type|Electric}}. {{m|Bite}} is now a {{type|Dark}} move.
* Pokémon retain their Generation II and III [[evolution]]ary lines (e.g. {{p|Golbat}} can evolve into {{p|Crobat}}), but cannot evolve into these new stages until after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]]. {{p|Eevee}} is the only exception to this, since {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} cannot be obtained due to the lack of a clock system in the game, and trading between the other Generation III games is required to obtain them.
* A new southern region, the [[Sevii Islands]], is accessible, where [[Generation II]] Pokémon can be caught. Notably, most of these Pokémon cannot be found in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* [[Team Rocket]] has an expanded role in the game's post-Elite Four storyline, with a new base in the Sevii Islands.
* Battles with the wild [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}} feature a remixed battle theme. In addition, Moltres has moved from its original location in {{ka|Victory Road}} to [[Mt. Ember]]. [[Cerulean Cave]], where Mewtwo resides, now requires {{m|Rock Smash}} for navigation, and it cannot be entered until after the post-game mission in the Sevii Islands has been completed.
* One of [[Johto]]'s [[legendary beasts]] ({{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, or {{p|Suicune}}) will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] around Kanto after defeating the Elite Four and obtaining the National Pokédex. The beast that appears is the one that has a type advantage over the player's [[starter Pokémon]].
* [[Version-exclusive Pokémon]] and [[wild Pokémon]] distribution have been altered from the original games to account for new evolutions released in [[Generation II]].
* Pokémon can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] in {{OBP|Four Island|town}}. The daycare on {{rt|5|Kanto}} remains, but it is still limited to only caring for one Pokémon at a time.
* The Ability {{a|Pickup}} has been modified from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, which also includes that some of the [[Berry|Berries]] from those versions can be picked up in FireRed and LeafGreen. This is due to the inability to grow Berries in [[Kanto]]. The other Berries can only be collected by trading Pokémon from those versions as well as {{v2|Emerald}}.
* A man is present in a house in [[Cerulean City]] and will help create [[Berry Powder]] via [[Berry Crush]]. This powder can then be exchanged for rare and valuable items.
* {{pkmn|Trainer}}s outdoors can be rebattled using the [[Vs. Seeker]].
* Information on major characters, such as [[Gym Leader]]s, is recorded in the [[Fame Checker]].
* Three additional aides for Professor Oak have been added to reward the player with items that were introduced in Generations II and III, while a returning aid now gives out the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, the upgraded version of the Generation I item {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. All}}.
* Pokémon movelists are updated to include moves introduced in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]].
* The [[TM]] list is shared with other Generation III games. In addition, [[Move Tutor]]s become available to teach moves formerly contained in [[Generation I]] TMs.
* The [[Elite Four]] can be rebattled, and acquire {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} on their teams after the [[Sevii Islands]] quest has been completed.
* {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}} are available as Move Tutor moves at [[Cape Brink]] on [[Boon Island|Two Island]]. They can only be taught to the final evolved form of the player's [[starter Pokémon]], or other members of that same species.
* There is a new minigame corner, the [[Joyful Game Corner]] on [[Boon Island|Two Island]], where players can connect together, along with {{v2|Emerald}}, and can play multiplayer minigames ([[Pokémon Jump]] and [[Dodrio Berry Picking]]) over the [[Wireless Adapter|wireless communication system]]. This feature becomes usable after the events at [[Kin Island]].
* In non-Japanese versions, dialogue is colored blue or red depending on whether the speaker is male or female, respectively. Text from other sources, such as signs, remains black.
* The music has been remixed to take advantage of the [[Game Boy Advance]]'s power; however, the themes themselves remain the same (including a few Gold/Silver/Crystal themes being utilized in Islands Four to Seven of the Sevii Islands.
** However, the [[Power Plant]] background music has been changed. In the original games, it played the [[Rocket Hideout]] theme, while in FireRed and LeafGreen, it plays the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} theme.
** In the original games, while battling the [[Elite Four]], only the battle with [[Lance]] used the Gym Leader background music; the standard Trainer background music was used for the other three Elite Four members. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, the Gym Leader background music is used for all four Elite Four members.
** In the original games, when Professor Oak congratulates the player after becoming the Pokémon League Champion, a slower version of the Viridian/Pewter/Saffron City background music plays. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, a happier-toned version of the Pallet Town background music plays when Professor Oak appears to congratulate the player.
* {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Magmar}} (LeafGreen only) have been moved to new locations. Ponyta is now located on One Island's [[Kindle Road]], and Magmar is now at [[Mt. Ember]]. In Generation I, they were both found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]].
* {{p|Deoxys}} debuts two new forms: Attack Forme (FireRed) and Defense Forme (LeafGreen), which appear exclusively in the respective games.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] in these games is very heavily similar to the one in the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}, which was never released outside of Japan. The only difference is the Generation III addition of {{m|Rock Smash}} boulders.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Version exclusives]]==
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation III]] which has that Pokémon available. In addition, [[Mew]], several {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} and a majority of {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} must be traded from a [[Hoenn]]-based game (Only three Generation III Pokémon, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Wynaut}}, and {{p|Deoxys}} can be obtained in FireRed and LeafGreen).

==Compatibility==
FireRed and LeafGreen were created as a result of the first [[Generation III]] games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, lacking backward compatibility with Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. [[trade|Trading]] between these games and the third Hoenn-based game, {{game|Emerald}}, is possible through the traditional [[link cable]]. Trading with other copies of FireRed or LeafGreen as well as with Emerald may also be done through the [[GBA Wireless Adapter]], though Ruby and Sapphire are not compatible with it. Using a GameCube-GBA cable, players may also trade party Pokémon with {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, but only after the player has obtained the {{key|III|Ruby}} and {{key|III|Sapphire}} and given them to [[Celio]].

While FireRed and LeafGreen cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} can be found using [[dual-slot mode]]. Pokémon obtained in these games can be transferred forward to [[Generation V]] games by transferring through a Generation IV game.

==Reception==
FireRed and LeafGreen received strong sales. Over 800,000 copies were sold in Japan over the first week of release. This number was lower than that of counterparts {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}; this has been attributed to the fact that they are remakes.<ref>[http://au.gameboy.ign.com/articles/488/488976p1.html IGN: Pokemania] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Nintendo remarketed the games as "Player's Choice" two years after the initial release; this re-release did not include the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|Wireless Adapter]] that came with the original release.

The games were praised by critics for maintaining the same storyline as the original versions, and also for incorporating new events. Criticism was received, however, for the lack of graphical improvement from Ruby and Sapphire.<ref>[http://au.gameboy.ign.com/articles/544/544549p1.html IGN: Pokemon FireRed Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Generally, the games scored highly. ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' magazine gave them 4.5/5, and labeled the games as "great".<ref>''Nintendo Power'' magazine. Issue 184; page 123. October 2004.</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon FireRed & LeafGreen Music Super Complete}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music from the games, composed by [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Gō Ichinose]], and [[Morikazu Aoki]]. Much of the music is remixed from ''[[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD]]'', the soundtrack for {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Thetruckreturns.png|thumb|270px|right|The infamous truck]]
* These games were the first remakes of Pokémon games, being followed by the [[Generation II]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** A number of [[List of cross-generational references#To Generation II|references]] to the plot and characters of the [[Generation II]] games, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, appear in these games. These were correctly interpreted by fans as hints at an eventual {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remake}} of the pair in [[Generation IV]].
* The LeafGreen [[Pokédex]] entries are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s}} as well as the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]] for the {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. The FireRed entries for the same Pokémon are the same as those in the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
* Despite the fact that outside of Japan, {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red Version was paired with Blue Version}}, LeafGreen saw release internationally. A trademark was filed for '''Pokémon WaterBlue Version'''{{fact}}, however, indicating that this renaming may have been considered.
* {{DL|S.S. Anne|Rumors|The truck}}, long rumored to have a [[Poké Ball]] containing {{p|Mew}} under it, appears again as scenery near the [[S.S. Anne]]. This time around, however, there is a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}} hidden on the dock, which normally cannot be obtained until much later in the game.
* The [[species]] names present in FireRed and LeafGreen are cut off in early English releases of the games, most specifically those species names made up of more than one word with a space in between. This causes Pokémon like {{p|Pidgey}} to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon." [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the species name the same as it appears in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a glitch in the Pokédex where a blank space is confused for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in later releases of the game. This is the easiest way to tell whether the game in question is a v1.0 or v1.1 release.
* Along with the original [[Generation I]] games, these are the only main series games that do not involve a [[legendary Pokémon]] in their main plot. Incidentally, they are also the last [[version|main series]] Pokémon games to feature a non-legendary Pokémon on the cover.
* According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the reason why LeafGreen did not become WaterBlue outside of Japan was for the following reasons: A leaf is a symbol of peace, while fire and water are opposing concepts and thus would seem more like a conflict. A leaf is also an easier concept to grasp and translate into other languages, and in this world of conflicts, the creators wanted to give a name suggestive of a peaceful world. [[Game Freak]] also wanted a colorful drawing of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} family member on the boxart. Masuda explains that, as with [[legendary Pokémon]], creating a title for each Pokémon game that can be used and easily understood in all countries is not an easy task.
* If a FireRed or LeafGreen cart is present in Slot 2 of the [[Nintendo DS]], the migration feature in the menu screen of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version names. This mistake was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}, which removed the space.
* {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Azurill}}, the two [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]] and first seen in [[Hoenn]] can be obtained before unlocking trades with the Hoenn-based games by breeding any compatible Pokémon while holding the {{DL|Incense|Lax Incense}} and the {{DL|Incense|Sea Incense}}, both found in the [[Lost Cave]].
* The game prevents Pokémon from evolving if their evolved form's [[National Pokédex]] number is greater than 151 prior to the National Pokédex itself is obtained.
* The boy who prevents the player from leaving Pewter City before Brock is defeated (by showing the player to the Gym) now returns the way he came. In Generation I, he would instead walk east and vanish offscreen, where a barrier prevents the player from walking.
* In {{key|III|Teachy TV}}, at registering items aspect, second instance of the word pocket in <sc>key items pocket</sc> is misspelled as "pokcet".
* In the end credits, the [[version mascot]]s of the four [[Generation I]] games, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}}, appear with special 3-frame sprites, transforming from their in-game sprites to the pose they took on the Japanese boxart of their respective games. In the Japanese versions, they are inside a circle with the text ''THE POCKET MONSTER TRAINER'', which is colored to match the Pokémon's type. In international versions this is replaced by a Poké Ball symbol, also colored based on the Pokémon's type.

List of glitches in Generation I

2013-08-14T22:10:20Z

SamurottMaster4747: /* Prof. Oak text overlap glitch */

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation I]] [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==In Pokémon Red and Green==
===Dokokashira door glitch===
{{main|Dokokashira door glitch}}

===Prevented progress===
If the player's [[starter Pokémon]] evolves before they obtain their [[Pokédex]] from Prof. Oak, the game will assume, since they have 2 Pokémon registered as caught, that they already have a Pokédex, and will not allow them to proceed. This glitch is only present in the Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}.

{{youtubevid|OS-v0tGk90g|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Second type glitch===
{{main|Second type glitch}}
==In Pokémon Red, Green and Blue==
===Potion glitch===
If player withdrew Potion from PC at the start of the game (before the player had obtained their starter Pokémon) and then tried using it, an empty party screen would appear and Potion could be used (though nothing would happen). This was fixed for international releases and Pokémon Yellow, which will state "You don't have any{{sup/1|RB}}/a{{sup/1|Y}} <sc>Pokémon</sc>!" ('''ポケモンが 1ぴきもいない!''')
{{youtubevid|rbJCEt6HKhM|LunarRay|fairy}}

==In Pokémon Red and Blue==

===Evolutionary stone glitch===
{{GlitchResearch|Glitch Pokémon which evolve by items}}
Pokémon can be evolved without the use of an [[evolutionary stone]], provided that the player has sent out a Pokémon with the equivalent identifier of the relevant evolutionary stone item and finishes the battle with that Pokémon in the same battle that a Pokémon that evolves using an evolutionary stone levels up.

Some [[glitch Pokémon]] with unusual evolutionary flags may evolve this way according to the game 'after exposure to an item', which is not necessarily an evolutionary stone.

===Item duplication glitch===
{{main|Item duplication glitch}}

===Lift Key glitch===
[[File:RB Lift Key Glitch.png|thumb|right|256px|The Lift Key glitch]]
In the [[Rocket Hideout]], if the player is standing to the left of the {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who has the {{key|III|Lift Key}} and talks to him, the Lift Key will appear underneath the player when he drops it. The player can still move around and collect it if he moves downward.

This glitch was fixed in {{game|Yellow}}, [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] due to the Grunt automatically dropping the Lift Key as soon as he is defeated.
{{-}}

{{youtubevid|ykjE6rKWSug|Wooggle}}

===Man on roof===
If the player does not have the {{key|I|Secret Key}} to the [[Cinnabar Gym]], and {{m|surf}}s on the east coast and returns to land directly in front of the Gym, a man will appear on the roof of the Gym.

A similar effect happens if the player walks into the [[Vermilion Gym]], walks directly left and then up so that they are facing the bottom-left trash can and press A to inspect it, or if the player is in the gate to [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]]. One of the Trainers in the Gym will be misplaced and return to his usual spot once the text box disappears, and when in the gate there may be a man standing on an object somewhere behind the guard.

Both of these variations of this glitch were fixed in some European versions of Red and Blue, such as the Spanish version, as well as all versions of Yellow.

{{youtubevid|FYMjkCueKlo|Blaziken257}}

The glitch doesn't happen in the Yellow version, though it contains a typo instead.
===Old man glitch===
{{main|Old man glitch}}

===Pewter Gym skip glitch===
{{main|Pewter Gym skip glitch}}

===Prof. Oak text overlap glitch===
If player has no new data or hasn't bought Poké Balls after defeating rival on {{rt|22|Kanto}}, Prof. Oak will give Poké Balls to player after talking to him. However, one of the lines of his dialogue appears over the previous line, instead on a new one.
{{youtubevid|XPJB7CJ5XFU|Dukstless|red}}

==In all Generation I games==
===--===
{{main|-- (move)}}
If a {{p|Ditto}} transforms into another Pokémon and then switches around the copied moves with the Select button, after the battle the Ditto will not have {{m|Transform}} and will instead have {{m|--}}.

{{youtubevid|hzY0nFn_8SE|Wooggle}}

===0 ERROR===
{{main|0 ERROR}}
A glitch similar to the [[Mew glitch]] that causes {{rt|6|Kanto}} to become glitched.

===0 PP glitch===
In Generation I, {{m|Struggle|struggling}} can be avoided by allowing the game to self-select a move to be used, which can happen to any move used immediately after a Pokémon is {{status|Freeze|defrosted}}, or due to a handful of moves' effects ({{m|Bind}}, {{m|Clamp}}, {{m|Fire Spin}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, and {{m|Wrap}}) because of the auto-selection involved with {{cat|moves that partially trap|partial-trapping moves}}. A move used with 0 {{PP}} in this way would {{wp|arithmetic underflow|underflow}} to the maximum possible value, 63 PP, and, due to the way the data is structured, a move that 0 [[PP Up]]s had been used on would gain full PP Up status, while those on which PP Ups had been used would lose one PP Up boost. This glitch was addressed in Generation II games and later, which prevent a move from being executed if it has 0 PP.

===Bide glitch===
The stored damage from {{m|Bide}} can hit (but not always) a Pokémon under the invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}. If Bide deals damage to a Pokémon under Fly or Dig, the game will reveal its sprite early. This also causes a small animation glitch with Dig where it appears that the enemy Pokémon rises from the ground off the top of the screen instead of the enemy rising up from 'underground'. There is no animation glitch with {{m|Fly}} because the game has no animation on the opponent's side of Fly returning from the top of the screen to the ground—the game only reveals the sprite.

{{youtubevid|mpHw7CPQdQY|ChickasaurusGL|normal}}

===Cable Club escape glitch===
{{main|Cable Club escape glitch}}

===Cerulean Cave guard glitch===
The person who is guarding Cerulean Cave seems to disappear if the player moves to the left until the game turns from blue to green.

===Critical hit ratio boost glitch===
{{m|Focus Energy}} and {{DL|Battle item|Dire Hit}}  were intended to quadruple the {{DL|Damage modification|critical hit}} rate, but due to a glitch, they instead have no effect if the user is faster than the opponent, or prevent the user from getting a critical hit (0/511 chance) if the user is slower than the opponent. <ref>[http://hax.iimarck.us/files/rbymoveinfo.txt R/B/Y move information - IIMarck.us]</ref> <ref>[http://www.psypokes.com/lab/criticalhits.php Psypoke - Pokémon Games Critical Hit]</ref> This was fixed in {{g|Stadium}}.

===Cut glitch===
{{main|Cut glitch}}

===Cycling Road glitch===
If the player does not have a [[Bicycle]] (or it has been deposited in the PC), it is still possible to reach [[Kanto Route 17|Cycling Road]] by holding down the left button while the guard attempts to prevent the player from entering the Cycling Road. Upon entering Cycling Road, the player will be automatically riding a bike, despite not having one.

{{youtubevid|OCyYJHf-apw|Wooggle}}

===Cycling Road restrictions glitch===
This is a glitch that causes the player to always receive the "You can't get off here." message when trying to use the [[Bicycle]] even when they are not on the Bicycle. It also causes the "Cycling is fun! Forget SURFing!" message to appear when trying to use {{m|Surf}} (using the hex:07 [[List of dummied out items#EarthBadge|?????]] item doesn't cause this message to appear).

If the player's current save is on {{rt|16|Kanto}}, {{rt|17|Kanto}} or {{rt|18|Kanto}} (Cycling Road), the WRAM address D732 (D731 in {{game|Yellow}}) is normally set to 21h (5th bit is on).

Normally when the player brings up the Continue/New Game/Option menu many of the variables from the current save are loaded so that the game works properly when the player selects the "Continue" option. Most of these variables are reset back to their default value if a new game is loaded but not the WRAM address D732 (possibly due to an oversight by the game developers).

This means starting a New Game with the current save on Cycling Road will cause the "You can't get off here." message to appear when trying to use the Bicycle from any location. The effects of this glitch are only visible once the player obtains the Bicycle or the Soul Badge and a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}}.

The glitch can be fixed by performing any one of these actions:

#Using {{m|Dig}}
#Using {{m|Teleport}}
#Using {{m|Fly}}
#Using [[Escape Rope]]
#Going in and out the Cycling Road
#Blacking out (both in battle and in overworld)

It has been reported that this glitch may occur without starting a New Game when the current save is on Cycling Road, but the cause is unknown. <ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6706.msg190402.html#msg190402 Glitch City Laboratories forums - "Pokemon Red/Blue Bicycle Glitch, newly discovered?" thread, post by VAAMusicalMike]</ref>

Another version of this glitch can (but not always) appear when performing the Fossil conversion glitch in Japanese {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}}. <ref>[http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6621.msg190080.html Glitch City Laboratories forums - "An addendum to the Fossil conversion glitch" thread, post by Torchickens]</ref> Unlike the New Game version, going in and out of Cycling Road doesn't fix the glitch.

{{youtubevid|YXa96wnSIOQ|ChickasaurusGL}}

===Deposit glitch===
It is possible for the player to deposit all Pokémon except [[fainting|fainted]] ones and a [[black out]] will occur but only after four steps in the same session. In {{2v2|Red|Blue}} it is possible to progress further by saving the game before traveling four steps to reset the 'remaining step count' to 4 when the game is reset, though this is no longer the case in {{game|Yellow}} because the remaining step count was changed to default to 1 step. The player immediately has a black out if entering a battle with just fainted Pokémon.

{{youtubevid|b4syMSxrkbI|Wooggle}}

===Draw audio glitch===
Prior to [[Generation II]], having the player character draw in a [[Pokémon battle]] causes the victory theme to play even though the player has lost.

{{youtubevid|HDWoG2BCGbU|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Dual-type Pokémon glitch===
In [[Generation I]], Pokémon with two types that have a weakness and resistance to the same type receive neutral damage from that type, but the incorrect message is displayed.

For example, {{type|Grass}} moves do neutral damage to {{p|Gyarados}}, but if Gyarados is hit by a Grass-type move, the game erroneously states that the attack is "not very effective...".

The game prioritizes on which message to display for each 'special' scenario (where normal damage is not dealt) based on each scenario's internal ordering. The higher the ordering determines what message the game will display. Grass against Water as 200% damage for instance is the 4th entry, whilst Grass against Flying as 50% damage is the 27th. Consequently in this example the game chooses the message for scenario #27, returning the wrong message "It's not very effective...".

This glitch does not occur in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

{{youtubevid|yP6EhW2r57A|Wooggle}}

If an attack is super effective or not very effective against one type and does no damage against another type (for example, {{m|Dig}} against {{p|Charizard}}), the game will erroneously state that the attack missed.

====Order of priority of messages====
Messages higher on the list take priority to those lower on the list. This list is the reverse order to which they are stored in the game data, which is likely the order they were added to the game.

===Error codes===
{{main|Error codes}}

===Experience underflow glitch===
{{main|Experience#Experience underflow glitch}}
In Generations I and II, level 1 Pokémon using the "medium-slow" growth algorithm will jump from level 1 to level 100 after gaining a {{tt|low amount|less than 54 if total experience is 0}} of experience points.

{{youtubevid|QgRA_Ot4R0U|Dukstless|Red}}

===Fire Spin Glitch===
{{youtubevid|O8GMyy7x3WE&NR|SloshedMail|Normal}}

===Fishing in statues===
The player can use a [[Fishing|Fishing rod]] when facing the right or left of a gym statue. It will always say "Looks like there's nothing in here...", except in the [[Cerulean Gym]], where all the [[Pokémon]] obtainable in the Gym can be caught. The player is also able to surf on these statues.

{{youtubevid|BgcDXeDaw0M|Wooggle}}

===Gate glitch===
Certain [[gate]]s which can be accessed after the player passes [[Cycling Road]] will have guards that restrict the player from passing if the [[Bicycle]] is deposited in the PC, even though the player does not require a Bicycle.

===Getting rid of Pikachu===
If the player uses Pikachu to surf (this was intended to be possible), when the player gets back on land Pikachu will disappear.

===Ghost glitch===
When encountering a {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} in [[Pokémon Tower]] without having a [[Silph Scope]], it is possible to see its true identity by viewing the stats of any Pokémon in the player's party. However, this glitch is only graphical, and it is still impossible to [[Pokémon battle|fight]] or catch it.

{{youtubevid|UMIowBT4Fck|Wooggle}}

===Ghost Marowak glitch===
Using a [[Poké Doll]] on the {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|ghost Marowak}} in [[Pokémon Tower]] with or without the [[Silph Scope]] will cause it to permanently disappear.

{{youtubevid|p_muMF45X-4|Wooggle}}

===Glitch City===
{{main|Glitch City}}

===Guy outside lab glitch===
If the player stands outside of Professor Oak's Lab in Pallet Town, the person outside it will eventually stand on the Lab's door.

{{youtubevid|EuD_Q8MhhxE|Wooggle}}

===Hall of Fame glitch===
[[File:Halloffameglitches.png|thumb|right|160px|Some corrupted Hall of Fame entries]]
{{main|Missingno.#Glitches caused}}
When [[glitch Pokémon]] have been seen on the save file, the player's [[Hall of Fame]] is badly corrupted with entirely different Pokémon, even glitch Pokémon, and very glitched characters, names and levels. This does not affect the Pokémon themselves, rather the data seen in the Hall of Fame.

==={{m|Haze}} glitch===
If {{m|Haze}} is used to thaw a frozen Pokémon when it still needs to recharge from {{m|Hyper Beam}}, the Pokémon will thaw out but it will be unable to make a move until it faints even if a {{t|Fire}} type move is used later. This glitch was fixed in [[Pokémon Stadium]]. It is similar to the [[Sky Drop glitch]] in [[Generation V]], because both glitches permanently make the opponent unable to move until fainting or switching (although switching out the Pokémon is normally not possible).

{{youtubevid|FjZreYA2m_w|ChickasaurusGL|Poison}}
(Glitch starts at 1:56)

===Index 000 post-capture===
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], an invisible wild {{p|Ditto}} will still be in battle with the player where 'M (00) was before, and the battle will not end. This Ditto can then be caught.

===Invisible PC===
In Generation I, there is an invisible PC in the hotel in [[Celadon City]]. This fact is explained by the close resemblance between the hotel and a Pokémon Center. This was less a glitch, and more likely an oversight by the programmers, who may have forgotten to remove the code to activate the PC at that particular point. The sprite of the PC, however, is not there. It is possible to walk on the tile where the PC is. This glitch was fixed in Pokémon Yellow.

{{youtubevid|odGZR7nKjnA|Gligar13Vids|Normal}}

===Invisible Prof. Oak Glitch===
If the player attempts to leave too many times when choosing their first Pokemon then the player, Prof. Oak and the middle Poké Ball's sprites will vanish. Pressing start will pull up some glitched text on the screen, but exiting the start menu will fix everything.

{{youtubevid|v643yIvK6pM|BungiePhantom|Normal}}

===Invisible tree===
{{main|Cut glitch#Invisible tree}}
There is a tree near the bottom of {{rt|14|Kanto}}. If this particular tree is cut down and then the player walks five steps west from where the tree was (so that the spot where the tree used to be is at the edge of the screen) and then walks back their path will be blocked as if a tree was still there. Even though the tree is not visible, it can still be cut down normally using the move {{m|Cut}}.

===Invulnerability glitch===
In [[Generation I]], if a Pokémon is fully {{status|Paralysis|paralysed}} while under the invulnerable stage of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}, all moves (with the exception of {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Transform}} and possibly the unleashed damage from {{m|Bide}}) from the opponent will miss or fail until the user switches Pokémon, finishes the battle or successfully performs Fly or Dig. The user's Pokémon can attack normally during this glitch.

This glitch was fixed in {{g|Stadium}}.
{{youtubevid|bNzDmXbZ7kY|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Landing on an NPC===
If the player lures an NPC below a ledge that can be jumped over, it is possible to land on top of the NPC.

{{youtubevid|ztlm3AuPBBI|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Leech Seed and Toxic stacking===
If the target of {{m|Leech Seed}} is also under the effect of {{m|Toxic}}, Leech Seed damage will increase every turn as the N value of Toxic increases because Leech Seed and Toxic both use the same damage algorithm (N * max(1, int(0.0625*MaxHP). This was fixed as of [[Generation II]]. If the current {{stat|HP}} of the recipient of Leech Seed's HP-restoring effect is greater than its maximum HP, its current HP will be set equal to its maximum HP.

{{youtubevid|bNjEFgsIIIY|ChickasaurusGL|Grass}}

===Level-up moves glitch===
Pokémon cannot learn moves they should learn at a level if they earn enough experience at once to skip that level.

For example, if a level 4 {{p|Pidgey}} earned enough experience points for defeating a single Pokémon to reach level 6, it will not learn {{m|Sand-Attack}}, a move it would normally learn at level 5.

{{youtubevid|Fvn7xHxb6BU|Wooggle}}

===Leveling past 100===
In Generation I and II, if a Pokémon is obtained at a level above 100, it can be leveled up with [[Rare Candies]] up to level 255. If a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, its level will be reset to 0. If a Pokémon above level 100 levels up due to [[experience]], its level will be reset to 100.

===Recovery glitch===
If a Pokémon uses {{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Rest}} or {{m|Recover}} and the difference between its current HP and maximum HP is 255 or 511, the move will fail. This bug does not occur in Pokémon Stadium.

{{youtubevid|sqkBby1HlmY|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Rhydon glitch===
{{main|Rhydon glitch}}

===Save Surf glitch===
The glitch is performed by standing next to a [[water tile]] that is facing up, left, or right, walk in that direction and pressing start without letting go of the D-Pad. The game then needs to be [[save]]d and reset. When loading the saved data, the player will be facing in the direction that was being held down when the start button was pressed. Using {{m|Surf}} will cause the player to surf on the tile immediately south, even if it is not a water tile.

When loading a saved file, the player usually starts facing south. This is because of the limited data in the game. This glitch causes the player to face in a different direction, which confuses the game.

{{youtubevid|W_aI_AVwJMQ|Wooggle}}

===Save corruption glitch===
This is technically 2 glitches in 1. In order to do the first glitch, the player has to save the game, and turn it off at just the right time. The player will have 255 Pokemon, most of which are random [[Pokémon]] and [['M (FF)]]s. Each Pokémon in your [[Party|party]] represents a part of the game data. If the player switches the second and tenth Pokémon, the player will have 255 items. Switching/tossing the items has a much greater impact on the game than switching the Pokémon.

==={{m|Selfdestruct}}/{{m|Explosion}} and {{m|Substitute}} glitch===
In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} using a sacrificial move like Explosion on a substitute and having the damage break the substitute prevents the user from fainting. The sprite of the user vanishes regardless.

{{youtubevid|lr05doU5oAQ|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Silent Indigo Plateau glitch===
In the battle against {{ga|Blue}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], if the player [[evolution|evolves]] a Pokémon in battle and defeats Blue, the music will be muted until [[Professor Oak]] comes to congratulate the player.

(Video comparing the battle where a {{p|Caterpie}} evolves, to the same battle where no Pokémon evolves):
{{youtubevid|KxMstD8iWNM|ChickasaurusGL|Normal}}

===Sprite glitch===
[[File:Sprite glitch.png|thumb|170px|right|The sprite glitch as seen in [[Generation I]] games, in this case triggered by the encounter of [[♀ .]]]]
The '''sprite glitch''' is a [[glitch]] that alters the appearance of the {{wp|Sprite (computer graphics)|sprites}} in [[Generation I]], making the sprites appear to be cut into pieces or even unrecognizable in some instances.

In [[Generation I]], many [[glitch Pokémon]] will distort battle sprites upon their encounter; however, this can be fixed by viewing the stats of a non-glitched Pokémon. There are other methods to the glitch, some of which involve using a [[Pokémon Center]] to heal the player's Pokémon when in a glitched area, visiting [[Glitch City]], or catching certain glitch Pokémon.

In other generations, it may occur when a [[Cheating|cheating device]] is used.

{{-}}
===S.S. Anne reboard glitch===
[[File:Pokemon Red Reboard SS Anne.png|thumb|right|The player surfing on top of the sailor]]
After the [[S.S. Anne]] leaves the dock for the first time, it's possible to make it reappear earlier. To perform this glitch, the player must stand one tile above and to the left of the sailor guarding the harbor, take a step right and hit the Start button at the same time, save and reboot. After verifying that the player is facing right and without moving, a Pokémon must be selected to {{m|Surf}}, thus making the player surf on top of the sailor. Then, after walking down to the harbor, the boat can be entered.
{{-}}

{{youtubevid|W_aI_AVwJMQ|Wooggle}}

===Standing on a tree===
[[File:Cut glitch.png|thumb|right|220px|{{ga|Red}} standing on top of the tree outside [[Vermilion Gym]]]]
{{main|Cut glitch#Standing on a tree}}
In [[Generation I]], if the player {{m|cut}}s down a tree, stands on the spot where the object was, [[Saving|saves]], turns the game off, then loads it, the player will be standing on the tree. It is no longer possible to stand on a tree in later generations, nor is it possible to stand on a boulder.

This glitch occurs because the [[Generation I]] engine would not store the data needed to remember that the tree had been cleared. [[Generation II]] does not remember this data either, but is not susceptible to the glitch.

===Stuck in a wall===
If the player lures an NPC into the grass above [[Pallet Town]], she will block the player from following [[Professor Oak]] correctly, causing the player to become stuck in the wall of Oak's laboratory.

{{youtubevid|A86DDAu7et4|Wooggle}}

===Trade cloning===
{{main|Cloning glitches#Trading method}}

===Transform assumption glitch===
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a {{p|Ditto}} in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue, because wild Mew could not have been be legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where wild Mew could be encountered.

===Walking Through an NPC===
If the player lures an NPC onto the path that Professor Oak takes to bring the player to the laboratory, Professor Oak and the player will walk right over and through her.

{{youtubevid|vfK_v_qu380|Wooggle}}

===Walking Through Walls===
To walk through walls, the player must first get a [[Status_ailment#Poison|poisoned]] Pokémon and deposit all other Pokémon in the PC. Then, they need to go to [[Safari Zone]] and pay $500 to play. They must try to leave the Safari Zone, but when asked if they want to leave early, select no. Next, they must save the game and restart. After that, they have to walk back into the Safari Zone building and walk downward. When asked if they want to play, they should select no and leave the building. Next, they should walk around and make sure they are on top of a ledge when they have walked 499 steps. Every time the screen flashes black, that is 4 steps, so they should count 124 screen flashes and 3 steps. After that, they must jump off the ledge so that the player is in midair when they run out of steps. Run around making sure to not go off screen until the only Pokémon in their party faints. They will be teleported to the last [[Pokemon Center]] they have visited and can now walk through walls.

===Johto guard glitch===
{{main|Johto guard glitch}}

===Shiny Ditto glitch===
The Shiny Ditto glitch requires a game from [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], but only has an effect on a Generation II game. By trading any [[Shiny Pokémon]] to a Generation I game, having a wild {{p|Ditto}} transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be Shiny.
{{youtubevid|8Lb5pq0y6h8|v0id19|Normal}}

===Trade evolution glitch===
[[Generation I]] Pokémon that can evolve by trading can be taught glitch moves through this glitch. This can be achieved by trading a trade evolution Pokémon from a Generation I game to a Generation II, at a level where its evolved form will learn a move not in Generation I. Trading the Pokémon back to the Generation I game will cause the move to become a glitch move.

For example, trading a level 34 {{p|Graveler}} from {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}} to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} will make the Graveler evolve into {{p|Golem}}. Since it is level 34, it will learn {{m|Rollout}}. If it is then traded back to Pokémon Red, it will still have the move, but the game won't recognize it properly since it is a Generation II move, so will become {{m|TM05}}.
