Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.
'''==Biology=='''
'''===Physiology==='''
'''====Gender differences===='''
'''====Special abilities===='''
'''===Behavior==='''
'''===Habitat==='''
'''===Diet==='''
'''<nowiki>''{{main|Pokémon food}}''</nowiki>'''

'''===Evolution==='''
'''===Sprites==='''
==Trivia==
===Origin===
====Name origin====
==In other languages==
==Related articles==
==Notes==
==External links==

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

</pre>
Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

* {{Template|Dex}}

{{Dex
|type=grass
|redbluedex=A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.
|yellowdex=It can go for days without eating a single morsel. In the bulb on its back, it stores energy.
|golddex=The seed on its back is filled with nutrients. The seed grows steadily larger as its body grows.

|sapphiredex=Bulbasaur can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun's rays, the seed grows progressively larger.
|emeralddex=Bulbasaur can be seen napping in bright sunlight. There is a seed on its back. By soaking up the sun's rays, the seed grows progressively larger.
|firereddex=There is a plant seed on its back right from the day this Pokémon is born. The seed slowly grows larger.
|leafgreendex=A strange seed was planted on its back at birth. The plant sprouts and grows with this Pokémon.

|pearldex=For some time after its birth, it grows by gaining nourishment from the seed on its back.
|platinumdex=For some time after its birth, it grows by gaining nourishment from the seed on its back.

</pre>
If an entry is unknown, delete the tag for it (that's the stuff between the | and the =, as well as the | and =). This will put the page into a category so that someone who knows what the entry is can put it in.

* {{template|Sprite}}
{{Sprite|

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=
|gen=
|gender=
|ndex=
|name=
|}}
</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

===Other templates===
* {{Template|Project Pokédex notice}} -- to be used at the bottom of every Pokémon article.

{{Project Pokédex notice}}

* {{Template|User Project Pokédex}} -- for project participants to place in their user profile.

[[Image:Project Pokédex logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.'' 
:'''<nowiki>===Type effectiveness===</nowiki>'''
:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''
::'''<nowiki>====By leveling up====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By TM/HM====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====By breeding====</nowiki>'''
::Table format. For each, please list all potential fathers which the Pokémon can inherit the move from. Do not, however, clutter the article with descriptions of how the fathers can learn the move. Instead, link to the father's article - details on how the father can learn the move should be listed on that article.
::'''<nowiki>====By tutoring====</nowiki>'''
::Table format.
::'''<nowiki>====Special moves====</nowiki>'''
::Any techniques which a Pokémon can learn in a special way, like Pikachu's Surf or a move learned after purification in Pokémon XD.
:'''<nowiki>===Side game data===</nowiki>'''
:Table format. Note any factors that differ between species as well as any equivalent to Pokédex entries that the game may have.
:'''<nowiki>===Evolution===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's detailed evolution chain, shown as different sprites in boxes.
:'''<nowiki>===Sprites===</nowiki>'''
:Sprites of the Pokémon from all [[main series]] games, using the {{template|Sprite}} template.

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

=====Abbreviated=====
This format is for quick reference, when checking to see if an article matches the model. Headers which are in bold are required for all articles. Other headers should only be added when applicable.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

* {{Template|Dex}}

{{Dex

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=
|gen=
|gender=
|ndex=
|name=
|}}
</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Pewter City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Pewter Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Boulder}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in training {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.

==In the games==

Brock's title is "The Rock-Solid Pokémon Trainer." Brock is quite proud of his rock-hard willpower, and uses Rock-type Pokémon to complement this.

Brock is one of the few truly serious professional Pokémon Trainers in the Pewter City area. He's tough, people respect him, and most admire him. Supposedly, it's hard to get him to laugh or drop his serious demeanor, but when he does, he can't stop.

Brock likes to dig for [[fossil]]s in [[Mt. Moon]], which is possibly how he ended up getting a {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} in [[Generation II]].

In each game, there is only one other Trainer in his gym: a [[Camper]], whose name is Jerry in [[Generation II]] and Liam in [[Generation III]]. This Trainer usually isn't devoted to the Rock-type, and may use pure {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon like {{p|Sandshrew}} and {{p|Diglett}}.

In addition to the Boulder Badge, Brock gives out {{TM|34|Bide}} for in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}, and {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}} for the [[Generation III]] remakes instead. While he doesn't give out a [[TM]] in [[Generation II]], however, for the [[Generation IV]] remakes he gives out {{TM|80|Rock Slide}}. In both the Generation I games and their Generation III remakes, one Trainer will not allow for Trainers to pass onto {{rt|3}} until they have defeated Brock. Instead, when Trainers try to leave, he will lead them all the way back to the Pewter Gym.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after defeating Brock, the player can trade a {{p|Bonsly}} for a {{p|Rhyhorn}} (OT: 06845) holding a [[Passho Berry]] that knows the [[egg move]] {{m|Thunder Fang}}. To be able to rebattle him, the player must go to the Diglett Cave in the afternoon, entering through the entrance in {{rt|2}}. When the player talks to Brock, it will register Brock to his/her [[PokéGear]]. Then, on Saturday Night, he can be called to arrange a rematch.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|Brock in the original series.]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}'s. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there. He should still have a [[Poké Ball#Generation II Poké Balls|Heavy Ball]], given to him by [[Kurt]] [[EP144|back in Johto]], but this has apparently been forgotten.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

===Appearance===
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the series.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes.

===Character===
[[Image:Brock's eyes.png|thumb|left|180px|Brock with his eyes open in [[EP260]]]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s, [[pokemon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and [[Misty]] and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women. In fact, he's gotten so used to getting his behavior harshly corrected by another individual that he will think something's wrong if he ISN'T.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters, though some fans find this disappointing and want him to take a more active role in the series.

===History===
[[Image:BrockDP.png|left|thumb|Brock in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and [[Misty]].

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[The Power of One|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{ho|Battle Frontier}}. He left extremely briefly when the Advanced Generation dissolved to visit his home, and is now traveling with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]].

Brock is among the longest-lived main characters in the anime, only being absent from the Orange Islands season and thus ranked under only the permanent characters of {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Because of this, some fans believe he is too worn-out as a character and should be removed from the cast. Others believe he has established himself as a permanent character of the main cast, and do not see him being removed from the cast any time in the near future.

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock-types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This listing is of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode.

{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} appears as a rare Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* In the anime, Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Brock owns two {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, whose names both start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is currently the only main character of the anime with {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, owning two, {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was [[Misty]] with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art (both of which are seen in the anime section of this article) use the same pose, changing only his outfit.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to slip through Brock's radar, though this may be attributed to the fact Ash is younger than most of the girls Brock generally seeks out so he might've not payed much attention.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). Of the four, three of them have evolved so far.
*When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn Dex]].
* Despite starting out as a Rock-type Gym Leader, of all the Pokémon Brock currently owns, only one is pure Rock-type, {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Currently, it is [[party|with him]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the four generations.
* In the video games (notably, the [[Pokémon Stadium series]]), Brock has been shown with several Pokémon that he would later own in the anime ({{p|Golbat}} in Stadium's Round 2 fight, {{p|Forretress}} in Stadium 2's Round 1 fight, and {{p|Steelix}} in Stadium 2's Round 2 fight).
* Brock is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to appear in every movie. His appearance in ''[[The Power of One]]'' was merely a cameo though.
* Despite being a Rock-type [[Pokémon Trainer]], none of his Pokémon knew any Rock-type moves in [[Generation I]]. This did not occur in [[Generation III]] due to his chosen TM changing from {{TM|34|Bide}} to {{TM|39|Rock Tomb}}.
* Brock is one of two [[Gym Leader]]s not to give the {{player}} a TM of his {{t|Rock|Gym's specialty type}}, the other being [[Falkner]]. This is only true in [[Generation I]].
** However in [[Generation II]] there was no TM that contained a {{type2|Flying}} move, but in [[Generation I]] there was {{TM|48|Rock Slide}} which is {{type2|Rock}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Brock trades the player a {{p|Rhyhorn}} knowing {{m|Thunder Fang}} (an [[egg moves|egg move]]) in exchange for a {{p|Bonsly}}. This may be a reference to his anime counterpart, who is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and once owned a Bonsly as well before it evolved.
* Out of all of his Pokémon in the handheld games, only {{p|Rampardos|one}} is not double weak against {{t|Grass}}.

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In a [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points recent interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

Pokémon movie

2009-10-13T20:32:38Z

Sandbone4: /* Relation to the main anime */

A '''Pokémon movie''' is a movie, released in Japanese theaters in July, centering on Pokémon and following, as the main anime, [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|his friends}}. Typically, the movies' animation is done by [[Team Koitabashi]] of OLM (''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' being the only one taken by another, [[Team Wasaki]]), and each has at least one hour of footage. Most also have a [[Pikachu short]] that is shown before the movie.

Movies, with little exception, center around and feature [[legendary Pokémon]] which are either not at all or very rarely seen in the main anime, often with the legendary Pokémon causing some sort of disaster with its powers or being pursued by someone with less than noble tendencies. Ash and his friends will often befriend a Pokémon during the movie and must, at the end, say goodbye to their new friend.

The locations in which the movies take place have been, since ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', based on a real-world location outside of Japan. Topics explored are typically deeper than those explored in the episodes aired on TV, with the battle between greedy people who would use Pokémon for evil and those like Ash who are friends and partners to their Pokémon being a central issue in several movies.

When they open in Japan, they usually gross a large amount of money, typically ranking first for their premiere weekend. Recently, [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|one movie]] drew in a significant crowd despite the fact that it was released in the same weekend as a {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film. In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the [[original series]], were released in theaters, however, the movies continue to be dubbed, being released directly to home video and, since ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', airing on [[Cartoon Network]] early in the year.

To date there have been twelve theatrical Pokémon movies and three movie-length special episodes.

==Relation to the main anime==
Pokémon movies are considered by some fans to be non-canon, meaning they are not considered to have actually happened. For example, {{an|May}} befriended a {{an|Manaphy}} in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]], but has never mentioned Manaphy in the main series.

However, in the beginning, they probably tried to give reason to this because at the end of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]], [[Mewtwo (anime) |Mewtwo]] erases all of the [[Ash's Friends|protagonists']] memory.

However, some may not count their being unmentioned in the series as evidence to being non-canon due to several events in even the most important/canon of episodes being forgotten/unmentioned as well, such as:
*Ash and co. apparently never having heard of the P1 Grand Prix, despite Ash winning that competition and giving away {{AP|Primeape}}.
*May saying she used {{TP|May|Skitty}} for the {{To|Fallarbor}} {{pkmn|Contest}} when she actually used {{TP|May|Beautifly}} in said contest.
*In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty saying that she had never battled underwater before, despite doing so in both ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[The Spell of the Unown]]'', contradicting both an anime episode and a movie.

Because the anime is inconsistent with what is known to be canon, it is difficult to say that the movies are definitely canon or not. For the purposes of each, episodes that were aired the week before and week after the Japanese premiere will usually be considered as the episodes preceding and following the movies in terms of plot (with the notable exception being "Mewtwo Strikes Back", where it was released earlier than in chronological order).

==Long specials==
These special episodes, which run longer than the normal half hour and are not usually separated into more than one episode in either the original or the dub, are often considered TV Pokémon movies, not counting towards the running total. They never appear in theaters, but are instead broadcast on the same networks that the regular anime is broadcast for their premieres. Though they may air around the same time as other episodes of the anime, usually in the anime's normal timeslot, they are not assigned episode numbers.

===2000===
{{main|Mewtwo Returns}}

{{an|Mewtwo}}, who has been hiding out in the [[Johto]] region since last he was seen, has been located by [[Giovanni]]. Now the [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] Boss wants to recapture the powerful Pokémon to again use him for his own purposes. It was released directly to video in the United States and elsewhere.

===2001===
{{main|The Legend of Thunder!}}

In the first anime break from {{Ash}} and friends, three trainers, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]] must stop the evil [[Team Rocket]] duo [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] from capturing {{p|Raikou}}. It was divided up into three parts to become the first three episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] when dubbed.

===2006===
{{main|The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon}}

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and [[Brock]] meet up with [[Misty]] and [[Professor Oak]] to investigate [[Dr. Yung]]'s new Mirage Pokémon system. But when the mysterious Mirage Master appears with a Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}}, Ash is forced to fight him to stop his plans to dominate the world with his Mirage Pokémon.

==Relation to the main anime==
Pokémon movies are considered by some fans to be non-canon, meaning they are not considered to have actually happened. For example, {{an|May}} befriended a {{an|Manaphy}} in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth movie]], but has never mentioned Manaphy in the main series.

However, in the beginning, they probably tried to give reason to this because at the end of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]], [[Mewtwo (anime) |Mewtwo]] erases all of the [[Ash's Friends|protagonists' memory.

However, some may not count their being unmentioned in the series as evidence to being non-canon due to several events in even the most important/canon of episodes being forgotten/unmentioned as well, such as:
*Ash and co. apparently never having heard of the P1 Grand Prix, despite Ash winning that competition and giving away {{AP|Primeape}}.
*May saying she used {{TP|May|Skitty}} for the {{To|Fallarbor}} {{pkmn|Contest}} when she actually used {{TP|May|Beautifly}} in said contest.
*In ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', Misty saying that she had never battled underwater before, despite doing so in both ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[The Spell of the Unown]]'', contradicting both an anime episode and a movie.

Because the anime is inconsistent with what is known to be canon, it is difficult to say that the movies are definitely canon or not. For the purposes of each, episodes that were aired the week before and week after the Japanese premiere will usually be considered as the episodes preceding and following the movies in terms of plot (with the notable exception being "Mewtwo Strikes Back", where it was released earlier than in chronological order).

==Long specials==
These special episodes, which run longer than the normal half hour and are not usually separated into more than one episode in either the original or the dub, are often considered TV Pokémon movies, not counting towards the running total. They never appear in theaters, but are instead broadcast on the same networks that the regular anime is broadcast for their premieres. Though they may air around the same time as other episodes of the anime, usually in the anime's normal timeslot, they are not assigned episode numbers.

===2000===
{{main|Mewtwo Returns}}

{{an|Mewtwo}}, who has been hiding out in the [[Johto]] region since last he was seen, has been located by [[Giovanni]]. Now the [[Team Rocket|Rocket]] Boss wants to recapture the powerful Pokémon to again use him for his own purposes. It was released directly to video in the United States and elsewhere.

===2001===
{{main|The Legend of Thunder!}}

In the first anime break from {{Ash}} and friends, three trainers, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, and [[Vincent]] must stop the evil [[Team Rocket]] duo [[Attila]] and [[Hun]] from capturing {{p|Raikou}}. It was divided up into three parts to become the first three episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]] when dubbed.

===2006===
{{main|The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon}}

{{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and [[Brock]] meet up with [[Misty]] and [[Professor Oak]] to investigate [[Dr. Yung]]'s new Mirage Pokémon system. But when the mysterious Mirage Master appears with a Mirage {{p|Mewtwo}}, Ash is forced to fight him to stop his plans to dominate the world with his Mirage Pokémon.

Pokémon movie

2009-10-13T20:30:42Z

Sandbone4: /* Relation to the main anime */

A '''Pokémon movie''' is a movie, released in Japanese theaters in July, centering on Pokémon and following, as the main anime, [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|his friends}}. Typically, the movies' animation is done by [[Team Koitabashi]] of OLM (''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'' being the only one taken by another, [[Team Wasaki]]), and each has at least one hour of footage. Most also have a [[Pikachu short]] that is shown before the movie.

Movies, with little exception, center around and feature [[legendary Pokémon]] which are either not at all or very rarely seen in the main anime, often with the legendary Pokémon causing some sort of disaster with its powers or being pursued by someone with less than noble tendencies. Ash and his friends will often befriend a Pokémon during the movie and must, at the end, say goodbye to their new friend.

The locations in which the movies take place have been, since ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]'', based on a real-world location outside of Japan. Topics explored are typically deeper than those explored in the episodes aired on TV, with the battle between greedy people who would use Pokémon for evil and those like Ash who are friends and partners to their Pokémon being a central issue in several movies.

When they open in Japan, they usually gross a large amount of money, typically ranking first for their premiere weekend. Recently, [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|one movie]] drew in a significant crowd despite the fact that it was released in the same weekend as a {{wp|Studio Ghibli}} film. In the United States, only the first five movies, those associated with the [[original series]], were released in theaters, however, the movies continue to be dubbed, being released directly to home video and, since ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', airing on [[Cartoon Network]] early in the year.

To date there have been twelve theatrical Pokémon movies and three movie-length special episodes.

List of cross-generational references

2009-09-25T00:25:15Z

Sandbone4: /* To Generation III */

The four [[generation]]s of [[Pokémon games]], taking place in the same {{pkmn|world|universe}}, have had multiple references to each other. Not only do the games reference their same-generation counterparts (with the {{player}}'s default name being the version played and the [[rival]]'s being the counterpart version in the first two generations), but games released later in the series typically will feature references to events of past generations.

Please note, of course, that this does not include Pokémon. While Pokémon released in previous generations will always appear, they are not a reference to the generation itself.

==List of references==
===Generation II===
====To Generation I====
* Not only is the [[Kanto]] region a playable area during the games, but several of the events of [[Generation I]] are spoken of as having happened three years previous. Many characters also reappear because of this, though some of them undergo design changes.
* {{ga|Red}}, the player character of the first games, is found training in [[Mt. Silver]] and can be battled.
* {{ga|Blue}}, the rival character of the first games, has become the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]. His team is based on the Pokémon he used in the final battle in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* A man in the [[Violet City]] Pokémon Center states that the former [[Team Rocket]] was broken up by a "{{ga|Red|young kid}}."
* The parents of the Copycat in [[Saffron City]] mention that her Clefairy Doll was given to her by {{ga|Red|a boy}} three years before.
* The {{DL|In-battle effect item|Berserk Gene}}, a held item, is found near the former entrance of the now-collapsed [[Cerulean Cave]], where {{p|Mewtwo}} once hid.
* There is a [[Pokémon doll]] of a {{m|Surf}}ing {{p|Pikachu}} available to decorate the room, which references the special minigame in {{game|Yellow}}.
* A man in [[Cerulean City]] says there used to be [[Cerulean Cave|a cave near the city with powerful Pokémon]].
* If the player checks the poster in the [[Rocket Game Corner]], the player will be informed that there's nothing there, referring to the secret switch under the poster in Generation I.

===Generation III===
====To Generation I====
* [[Brawly]] is said to have once trained alongside [[Bruno]], who is a member of [[Kanto]]'s [[Elite Four]].
* The Oceanic Museum in [[Slateport City]] has two water samples, one of which is from Kanto. Its background music theme is also an arrangement of the S.S. Anne theme.
* {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} in their entirety are a reference to Generation I's events, while the credit sequence references the [[version mascot]]s of {{v2|Red}}, {{v2|Green}}, [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}}.
* On [[Faraway Island]], a series of smudged messages, which may have been left by [[Mr. Fuji]], appear on a [[signpost]].
* A boy in [[Lilycove City]] says that he and his family came from the [[Kanto]] region before he asks if there are any Pokémon found only in the [[Hoenn]] region.

====To Generation II====
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the player-controlled character of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} is said to have moved at the beginning of the game with his/her family from the [[Johto]] region, the main setting of the Generation II games. (In {{game|Emerald}} the character who said this instead states that the player character's family moved there from a faraway place.)
* The Oceanic Museum in [[Slateport City]] has two water samples, one of which is from Johto.
* A man in [[Mt. Moon]] says that [[Brock]] sometimes helps excavate [[fossil]]s there. This explains how he acquires the {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Omastar}} which he uses in the second generation of games.
* At the [[Cerulean Cape]], a dame says [[Misty]] has high hopes about the location, which is known as a famous dating spot. In the second generation of games, she is first encountered there with an unknown male character.
* [[Janine]], [[Koga]]'s daughter and future [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of [[Fuchsia Gym]], appears in [[Fuchsia City]], and tells the player that she is training to use {{t|Poison}} Pokémon like her father. She is misnamed as Charine in the English translation of FireRed and LeafGreen, however.
* The branch of [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Sevii Islands]] seems to be the same branch which attempted to revive Team Rocket during Generation II, with plans to use magnetic waves to evolve Pokémon. Their lead scientist also tells that [[Giovanni]]'s child has red hair, a possible reference to [[Silver (game)|Silver]]. It could also be a reference to the head admin in Johto, pictured on [[Team Rocket's Evil Deeds (Neo Destiny 103)|Team Rocket's Evil Deeds]].
* One of [[Professor Oak]]'s assistants will state that he is to get a [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk|radio show]] sometime in the near future.
* [[Celio]] mentions that some members of [[Bill]]'s family live in [[Goldenrod City]].
* A woman on [[Boon Island]] in [[Bruno]]'s section of the [[Fame Checker]] mentions the [[Ragecandybar]].
* [[Whitney]], [[Jasmine]] and [[Pryce]] lookalikes appear as audience members in {{pkmn|Contest}}s.
* The man who digs [[Three Isle Path]] and gives the player a Nugget says that he'd like to buy a house in [[Kanto]]. He likely is the same person who gives away a Nugget in [[Generation II]] in his house on {{rt|2}}.
* The themes used on the [[Sevii Islands]] are remastered versions of Johto's final five routes as well as remastered versions of [[Olivine City]] and [[Cianwood City]].

===Generation IV===
====To Generation I====
* [[Professor Rowan]] is said to have developed the [[Sinnoh Dex]] with help from [[Professor Oak|a Pokémon professor from Kanto]].
* Professor Oak himself comes to [[Sinnoh]] to give the player the [[National Dex]], and can always be found in a house in [[Eterna City]] thereafter. He gives the player an [[Evolution-inducing held item#Up-Grade|Up-Grade]], which was sent to Oak by his acquaintance from [[Kanto]].
* In the gatehouse east of [[Canalave City]] is a guard who complains that he is thirsty, like the guards in Kanto who will allow the [[player character|player]] to enter [[Saffron City]] if they are brought a drink. Unlike those guards, however, this one does not do anything if brought a drink.
* A [[Ninja Boy]] on [[Route 210]] near [[Celestic Town]] says he wants to train with a [[Koga|ninja]] [[Gym Leader]] in a faraway land.
* One of the [[Elite Four]], [[Bertha]], shares a similar name (in Japanese and English) and design to [[Agatha]]. It is possible they are related, or that Bertha was at least modeled after Agatha.
* {{OBP|Black Belt|Trainer class}} Eddie from {{Si|Victory Road}} mentions that he trained in [[Fighting Dojo]] at {{Ci|Saffron}}.
* In [[Amity Square]], some Pokémon may be let out out of their [[Poké Ball]] to follow their Trainer around. One of the few available is {{p|Pikachu}}, which did the same (however, throughout the game) in {{game|Yellow}}.
* Much like the [[Viridian Gym]], the [[Hearthome Gym]] isn't accessible when the player first arrives in its home city.
* [[Bebe]]'s buddy [[Bill]] is mentioned to have developed the basic storage system.
* [[Veilstone City]] is many ways like [[Celadon City]] of Kanto, both of which are the largest city in their [[region]]. Both have a Game Corner ([[Rocket Game Corner]] in Celadon and [[Veilstone Game Corner]] in Veilstone), a prize exchange shop to accompany the Game Corner, and a [[Department Store]] ([[Celadon Department Store|Celadon Dept.]] in Celadon and [[Veilstone Department Store|Veilstone Dept.]] in Veilstone). The [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] of the region has two headquarters in the city: [[Team Rocket]] has [[Rocket Game Corner]] and [[Rocket Hideout (Celadon City)|Rocket Hideout]] and [[Team Galactic]] has [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] and [[Galactic Warehouse]].
**Also, part of the Veilstone Game Corner music is a techno remix of the Rocket Game Corner music.
* One of {{ga|Lucas}}'s alternate names was Ash in the English versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This is one of the default names of {{ga|Red}} in the games {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. It may even be a reference to the {{pkmn|anime}}'s [[Ash Ketchum|main character]].
[[File:Nostalgic Wallpaper.png|thumb|Wallpaper]]
* As a direct tribute to the original games, one of the wallpapers has been designed to resemble the design of the [[route]]s of the first games, complete with the graphics and sprites when the games are played on the [[Game Boy Color]], the [[Game Boy Advance]] or the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]. The wallpaper showcases typical features like both types of fences, low and high [[Tall grass|grass]], normal ground, a [[sign]] and a house.
* As [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] are remakes of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]], most of the Generation I-references there is also in this game.
* In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the lead Pokémon in the player's party follows the [[Player character|player]], much like in {{v2|Yellow}}, where the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|starter Pokémon]] follows the [[Red (game)|player]].
* During a special {{p|Celebi}} event, the character will, in fact, travel in time back to some time after that {{g|Red}} has defeated [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni tells his [[Silver (game)|son]] that he has decided to disband [[Team Rocket]]. Afterwards, he will run towards the [[Johto]] region and is found in a cave. When the player has defeated him, he will make a remark about that the player reminds him of the [[Red (game)|boy]] that made him choose to disband the team.

====To Generation II====
* A news report of a [[red Gyarados]] begins the game. The cameraman who filmed the documentary appears at the [[Survival Area]].
** In {{v2|Platinum}}, the game instead begins with a report about Professor Rowan. However, the cameraman from the red Gyarados report is seen blocking the entrance to [[Lake Valor]], hoping to get a shot of the {{p|Azelf|legendary Pokémon}} said to live there.
* A man, who gives the player a {{p|Happiny}} {{pkmn|egg}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, says that [[Professor Elm]] recently announced that eggs kept [[party|with a Trainer]] will eventually hatch.
* [[Jasmine]], one of Johto's [[Gym Leader]]s, appears to give the player {{HM|07|Waterfall}}.
* A man in [[Valor Lakefront]] states that he would like to see a {{p|Lugia|silver-colored Pokémon}} that resides in the [[Whirl Islands]], a {{p|Ho-Oh|rainbow-colored Pokémon}} that resides in the [[Tin Tower]], and {{p|Clefairy}} [[Days of the week#Monday|dancing]] in [[Mt. Moon]] sometime during his life.
* A [[Ninja Boy]] on {{Rt|210}} near [[Celestic Town]] says he wants to train with a [[Janine|ninja]] [[Gym Leader]] in a faraway land.
* [[Dragon Tamer]] Hayden on [[Route 224]] mentions that he left [[Dragon's Den]] several years ago.
* The [[Poké Ball]] design on the floor of the Sinnoh Pokémon Centers is colored {{game|Gold and Silver|s|gold and silver}}. Park Balls are also colored gold and silver, and the normally black stripe in the middle is actually a light blue, {{game|Crystal||crystal}}-like color.
* [[Dragon Tamer]] Geoffrey on [[Route 225]] mentions a [[Lance|Dragon Tamer Champion]].
* The {{p|Eevee}} which [[Bebe]] gives to the player was obtained originally from her [[Bill|friend]] in [[Johto]].
* [[Cynthia]], who somehow was able to obtain it (possibly from Jasmine, since she is in Sinnoh), gives the [[SecretPotion]], the medicine from [[Cianwood City]] that cured [[Amphy]] in [[Generation II]], to the player to cure the group of {{p|Psyduck}} blocking [[Route 210]].
* In Stargazer Colosseum in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], some of the Pokémon in the last battle depend on which game is linked to the Wii. If Diamond is linked, one of the Pokémon is {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Gold's [[version mascot]], and if Pearl is linked, one of the Pokémon is {{p|Lugia}}, Silver's version mascot.
* When a {{shiny2}} {{p|Clefairy}} appears during a slot game in [[Veilstone Game Corner]], a remixed version of [[Mt. Moon Square]] music from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} is played.
* [[Maylene]]'s Japanese name, スモモ (''Sumomo''), is coincidentally shared by Kuni, a [[Kimono Girl]].
* In {{game|Platinum}}, the [[legendary birds]] can be found roaming Sinnoh following completion of the Sinnoh Dex. This may explain their absence from Kanto in Gold, Silver, and Crystal.
* In Pokémon Platinum, one of the women in the basement floor of the [[Veilstone Department Store]] mentions that the store is sold out of [[Ragecandybar]]s (written as "Rage Candy Bars"), the local specialty in [[Mahogany Town]].
* There are various similarities between Gyms and Gym Leaders between Sinnoh and Johto, including [[Byron]] and [[Jasmine]] being {{type2|Steel}} Gym Leaders and the sixth Gym Leader of their region, and [[Candice]] and [[Pryce]] being {{type2|Ice}} Gym Leaders and the seventh of their region.
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} in their entirety are a reference to Generation II's events.

====To Generation III====
* A man in [[Hearthome City]], who says he is from the [[Hoenn]] region, will show the player to the [[Contest Hall]], a feature originally introduced in Hoenn.
* A man in [[Valor Lakefront]] states that he would like to see a rocket launch from the Space Center in [[Mossdeep City]] sometime during his life.
* A woman in Valor Lakefront claims to have lost her Suite Key. If the player finds it near the [[Hotel Grand Lake]] using the [[Dowsing Machine]], she will offer a reward of one {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}}, a specialty of Hoenn, possibly implying that her home is in that region.
* A [[Swimmer]] south of the Valor Lakefront says she would like to vacation in [[Hoenn]] because it has more routes on which to {{m|Surf}}.
* A woman west of [[Pastoria City]] used to work at the [[Weather Institute]] of Hoenn and will give out [[weather conditions|weather]]-changing [[TMs]] for [[Shard]]s.
* An old woman living at the base of [[Stark Mountain]] acts in the same way that another woman does on [[Route 111]] in Hoenn, insisting that the player keep healing his or her Pokémon with her in a creepy manner. Strangely, they both also live just north of a sandstorm-ridden desert.
* A Swimmer north of [[Sunyshore City]] wishes to visit Hoenn's seas.
* A [[Socialite]] in the Valor Lakefront restaurant will occasionally mention the sauce of her dish was made from spicy [[Cheri Berry|Cheri Berries]] with a Hoenn-style recipe.
* [[Bird Keeper]] Audrey on [[Route 225]] says she was born in [[Hoenn]].
* A woman in the {{Si|Battle Tower}} claims to have been from Hoenn, where another {{Ho|Battle Tower}} presides. In Platinum, her reference could mean either the Battle Tower itself or the [[Battle Frontier (Hoenn)|Battle Frontier]] that resided in Hoenn.
* A catalog in [[Rad Rickshaw]]'s Cycle Shop in [[Eterna City]] advertises the [[Mach Bike]] and [[Acro Bike]].
* In Stargazer Colosseum in {{g|Battle Revolution}}, some of the Pokémon in the last battle depend on which game is linked to the Wii. If Diamond is linked, one of the Pokémon is {{p|Groudon}}, Ruby's [[version mascot]], and if Pearl is linked, one of the Pokémon is {{p|Kyogre}}, Sapphire's version mascot.
* The [[Meister|fourteen foreign Pokédex entries]] are all from the respective translated versions of {{game|LeafGreen}}.
* In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]], many buildings in [[Kanto]] are heavily based on the {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}-Kanto rather than the {{g|Gold and Silver}}-Kanto. Furthermore, other aspects of Kanto have also been changed to resemble the FR/LG-Kanto.

==Trivia==
* Marowak's original English name was going to be "Guardia", the Spanish word for ''guardian''.
* When holding the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, Marowak can reach a maximum {{Stat|Attack}} stat of 568. This is the highest attack stat obtainable without the assistance of stat-enhancing moves or berries.
* Until the release of {{p|Lucario}} (which can learn {{m|Bone Rush}}) in [[Generation IV]], Marowak had three [[signature move]]s, tying with {{p|Porygon}} for the most signature moves.
* According to some of Marowak's Generation II Pokédex entries, somewhere exists a legendary Marowak graveyard. This is a reference to the {{wp|Elephant's graveyard}} of modern myth.
* While holding a Thick Club, Marowak's Base Stat Total is 505.

===Origin===
Marowak is probably based on a dinosaur fossil, and type ground because that's where fossils are found. It's bonemarang move was probably derived from the {{wp|Aboriginal}} people who throw boomerangs to catch food.

====Name origin====
Marowak's name might be a combination of ''{{wp|marrow}}'' and ''whack''. ''Garagara'' may be taken to mean がらがら, clattering. It is worth noting that ''garagara'' denotes heavier clattering than {{p|Cubone|''karakara''}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knogga - From ''Knochen'' (bone).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ossatueur - From ''os'' (bone) and ''tueur'' (slayer).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 텅구리 ''Tungguri''

==Trivia==
* Marowak's original English name was going to be "Guardia", the Spanish word for ''guardian''.
* When holding the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}}, Marowak can reach a maximum {{Stat|Attack}} stat of 568. This is the highest attack stat obtainable without the assistance of stat-enhancing moves or berries.
* Until the release of {{p|Lucario}} (which can learn {{m|Bone Rush}}) in [[Generation IV]], Marowak had three [[signature move]]s, tying with {{p|Porygon}} for the most signature moves.
* According to some of Marowak's Generation II Pokédex entries, somewhere exists a legendary Marowak graveyard. This is a reference to the {{wp|Elephant's graveyard}} of modern myth.
* While holding a Thick Club, Marowak's Base Stat Total is 505.

===Origin===
Marowak is probably based on a dinosaur fossil, and type ground because that's where fossils are found. It's bonemarang move was probably derived from the {{wp|Aboriginal}} people who throw boomerangs to catch food.

====Name origin====
Marowak's name might be a combination of ''{{wp|marrow}}'' and ''whack''. ''Garagara'' may be taken to mean がらがら, clattering. It is worth noting that ''garagara'' denotes heavier clattering than {{p|Cubone|''karakara''}}.

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the {{badge|Mine}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the {{badge|Mine}}, {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}} and leave. In {{v2|Platinum}}, he mentions that he lived on Iron Island for a long time and so feels out of place when visiting the [[Villa]]. Along with those visits, he can also be battled again at the [[Battleground]] in Platinum.

===Quotes===
'''[[Canalave Gym]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Ah! That's Oreburgh Gym Badge! I see, I see! You've defeated my son. But that's no surprise. He still has much to learn. In place of my son Roark, I, Byron, will take your challenge!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

*During battle
:''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

*When defeated
:''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon, defeated!"''

*After being defeated
:''"You were strong enough to take down my prized team of Pokémon. In recognition of that power, I give you this: the Mine Badge!"''

:''"Gwahahahaha! The Sinnoh region is vast! Tough Trainers like you and <rival> crop up constantly to challenge the old guard! With more young Trainers like my son and you two taking charge, the future of Pokémon is bright! But I'm not stepping aside just yet! I merely need to rededicate myself to training on Iron Island."''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"Guhahahaha! How's your Villa? Can you give me a tour?"''

:''"Gwahahahaha! I spent a long time living on Iron Island. A place this fancy, I feel a little out of place. Don't get me wrong, it's a great place. It's nothing like my son's!"''

:''"You're acquainted with a fellow named Riley, aren't you? He's a mystifying sort, that one. I have no idea how old he is, to tell you the truth."''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Byron.png|thumb|left|240px|Byron in the anime]]
Byron made his debut appearance in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'' together with his son, [[Roark]]. It was revealed Byron had once been the Gym Leader of {{ci|Oreburgh}} and had left his family to become the [[Gym Leader]] of {{ci|Canalave}} as he was more interested in [[fossil]]s, leaving his former position to Roark. Byron battles his son for a short time before the match got interrupted by [[Team Rocket]]. It was later revealed that Byron still cared for his son as he kept the fossil Roark had found as a child with him ever since.

Byron is obsessed with digging and fossils. When his fossils were stolen by Team Rocket in ''[[DP107|Ancient Family Matters!]]'', Byron was too busy admiring the hole they dug into the building to notice.

In ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', {{Ash}} had his gym {{pkmn|battle}} against Byron, defeating him and earning a {{badge|Mine}}.

===Pokémon Special===
Byron made an appearance with his Shieldon. Roark met him at Eterna City when exploring the Underground, where they discussed something (not known yet). Roark said that his father was the unpredictable type.

After being defeated by Berlitz, Byron takes on the responsibility of protecting Professor Rowan and Mr. Berlitz while doing research in Canalave City. When [[Candice]], [[Maylene]], and Platinum Berlitz are defeated by Team Galactic, he responds with their request to send one strong to help them. After briefly considering Roark, Byron reluctantly calls [[Volkner]].

Byron gave a Shieldon to {{special|Diamond}}.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance.

==Trivia==
* Both Byron and his son, Roark, use [[Fossil]] [[Pokémon]] and a member of the {{p|Onix}} [[evolution]] family in Gym Battles.
** Both of their Pokémon in the {{p|Onix}} evolutionary line know the move {{m|Screech}} in the [[Pokémon anime]].
* Byron and [[Roark|his son]]'s badges are references to coal mines. They both have mines in or near their respective towns ([[Oreburgh Mine]] and [[Iron Island]], which was once a mine).
* In {{V2|Platinum}}, all of Byron's Pokémon have the {{a|Sturdy}} [[ability]] when the player challenges him at his gym.

Water (type)

2009-08-31T23:49:29Z

Sandbone4: /* Characteristics */

{{ElementalTypes|water}}
{{TypeNotice|Water|みず|Mizu}}
Some notable [[Pokémon Trainer]]s that specialize in the Water-type include [[Misty]] of [[Cerulean City]], [[Wallace]] and [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis City]] and [[Crasher Wake]] of [[Pastoria City]].

==Statistical averages==
===Overall===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
type=water|
HP=69 |
Attack=70 |
Defense=73 |
SpAtk=69 |
SpDef=67 |
Speed=62 }}

HP=85.27 |
Attack=84.43 |
Defense=85.69 |
SpAtk=85.22 |
SpDef=84.29 |
Speed=70.41 }}


==Battle properties==
{{typebattle

|weaken1=Fire

|resisted2=Grass
|resisted3=Water
}}

==Characteristics==
Defensively, the Water-type is very strong when combined with high defensive stats. As every Water-type, with the exception of Magikarp, can use {{type2|Ice}} moves to counter {{type2|Grass}}s (although Magikarp can learn one {{type2|Flying}} move, {{m|Bounce}}, which can also counter Grass-types), Electric is the only true threat to Water-types. That is not the case if the Pokémon in question are part Ground like {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Whiscash}}, and {{p|Gastrodon}}, in which their Electric weakness is nullified but their Grass weakness is more effective. Water-types often have the most balanced attributes, usually coming with decent {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} stats, but below average {{stat|Speed}}.

The Water-type is also useful offensively. Water-type Pokémon can learn {{m|Ice Beam}} to deal with {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type2|Grass}}s, which would make their resistance to Water-type attacks irrelevant. It can be extremely useful to be super-effective against {{t|Ground}}- and {{type2|Rock}}s when traveling through caves, etc. As a result of these advantages, as well as having to get through water routes using {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and even {{m|Whirlpool}} or {{m|Dive}}, most Trainers usually have at least one Water-type in their [[party]].

When used in contests, Water-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types, excluding [[Cool Contest|Cool]].

In total, there are 92 Pokémon with the Water-type, thus making it the most abundant [[elemental type]].

==Trivia==
* Of all seventeen types, the Water-type is the most abundant, with 92 Pokémon species being Water-type, nearly 19% of the entire known Pokédex.
* All [[Generation I]] Water-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Electric}} moves, as no Water-types with a secondary type that neutralizes this weakness were introduced until [[Generation II]] and later.
* All Pokémon with a double resistance to Water are Water-types themselves, as the {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type2|Grass}}s have not yet been seen paired with each other.
* Every generation has introduced Water-type Pokémon whose names begin with the letters L, M, P, and S.
* Every main character in the anime (with the obvious exception of [[Max]]) has had at least one Water-type Pokémon.
* A Pokémon of Water and Flying type has been introduced in every generation so far.
*Every [[generation]] has had one main game whose version mascot is Water-type ({{p|Blastoise}} in [[Generation I]], {{p|Suicune}} in [[Generation II]], {{p|Kyogre}} in [[Generation III]], and {{p|Palkia}} in [[Generation IV]]).
*In each generation, just one non-damaging Water-type move has been added to the list of moves. {{M|Withdraw}} in [[Generation I]], {{M|Rain Dance}} in [[Generation II]], {{M|Water Sport}} in [[Generation III]] and {{M|Aqua Ring}} in [[Generation IV]].
*For each possible [[Elemental type|type]] combination with a double weakness to Water there is at least one Pokémon with that type combination. For example: {{t|Ground}}/{{t|Rock}}; {{p|Geodude}}, {{t|Fire}}/Rock; {{p|Magcargo}}, Fire/Ground; {{p|Numel}}.

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidorina is comparatively larger than its pre-evolution, though she loses the forehead horn. Nidorina's poison spikes are larger and probably more potent; she has also gained the ability to stand on her hind legs.

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

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

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

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

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Nidorina live in expansive hot savannas and plains.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:A herd of Nidorina.PNG|235px|right|thumb|A herd of Nidorina in [[EP033|''The Flame Pokémon-athon!'']]]]
===Major appearances===
{{Oi|Emily}}'s {{p|Nidoran♀}}, nicknamed Maria evolved into Nidorina after battling [[Team Rocket]] and kissing [[Ralph]]'s {{p|Nidoran♂}}, nicknamed Tony, in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''

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

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

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Orange}}
{{Animedexbody|EP100|Nidorina|Ash's Pokédex|Nidorina, the Poison Pin Pokémon. The evolved form of the {{p|Nidoran♀|Female Nidoran}}. It emits {{m|Supersonic|supersonic waves}} from its mouth to confuse its enemies.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Orange}}

==In the manga==
{{Special|Blue}} had a Nidoran♀ in [[Pokémon Special]] that evolved into a Nidorina. She later evolved into a {{p|Nidoqueen}}.

==Trivia==
*Despite being a gendered species, Nidorina and its evolution Nidoqueen are unable to breed.
*Nidorina's alternate coloration is similar to {{p|Nidorino}}'s regular coloration.

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

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nidorina
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nidorina
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 니드리나 ''Nideurina''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 尼多娜 ''Ní Duo Na'' - Transliteration of its original name.
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 尼美羅 ''Ní Mìi Lúo''

A Dragonite that belonged to the original [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Blackthorn Gym]] appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs For Nothing]]''. This Dragonite went on a rampage when [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal a sacred bowl of fire in the following episode.

[[Professor Oak]] is revealed to own a very powerful Dragonite in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

[[Porto]]'s Dragonite appeared in [[DP118]] as one of the participants of [[PokéRinger]] competition.

==Trivia==
* Dragonite has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary]] evolutions. Dragonite is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* In Red, Green, and Blue, Dragonite lacked the single horn on the top of his head. One was added in {{v2|Yellow}}. Oddly in [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|the Japanese Red and Green]] Dragonite had a ridge running down its neck and back.
* Of all the evolved Pokémon that evolve by level alone, Dragonite evolves to its final form later than any other Pokémon, at level 55. It shares this trait with {{p|Tyranitar}}.
* A Dragonite in Red, Blue, and Green has an illegal move, {{M|Barrier}}. This Dragonite belonged to [[Lance]]. Lance would later have another Pokémon with an illegal move: A [[Generation II]] {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} (Aerodactyl could not learn Rock Slide legally until [[Generation III]]).
* Dragonite's name was first used in the 1995 game {{wp|EarthBound}}, before Pokémon was released. Its name was used in an item called the Bag of Dragonite. Interestingly, a Dragonite later carried a messenger bag in [[Mewtwo Strikes Back|the first movie]].
* Dragonite is smaller than {{p|Dragonair|its pre-evolution}}.
* Given that the size of the Pokémon World is approximately the same as Earth, and Dragonite can make a complete cycle of the Earth in 16 hours, Dragonite's top flying speed is roughly 1556mph, approximately three times the speed of an average {{wp|airplane}}.
===Origin===
Dragonite resembles a {{wp|European dragon}} or fairy dragon; its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.
====Name origin====
Dragonite's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}},'' "ignite," or ''night''. It could also refer to ''draconite'', a mythical stone of dragons. Its Japanese name is a combination of 海 ''kai'', ocean, or 破壊 ''hakai'', destruction, and 竜 ''ryū'', dragon.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Dragoran
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracolosse - From ''Draco'' ({{P|Dragonair}}'s name in French), and ''colosse'' (colossal).

==Trivia==
*Growlithe's original name was "Flame".
*Growlithe can learn {{m|Safeguard}} via breeding but not through TM.

===Origin===
Growlithe is most likely based on Japanese 獅子 ''{{wp|shishi}}'', or 狛犬 ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that share traits with lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.
====Name origin====
Growlithe's name is likely a combination of ''growl'' and ''lithe'', meaning limber or flexible. Its Japanese name may simply refer to its abilities as a guard dog.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Fukano
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caninos - Based off of ''canine'', and possibly ''os'' (bone).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가디 ''Gadi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 卡蒂狗
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 護主犬 - Literally "owner protecting hound".

==Trivia==
*Growlithe's original name was "Flame".
*Growlithe can learn {{m|Safeguard}} via breeding but not through TM.

===Origin===
Growlithe is most likely based on Japanese 獅子 ''{{wp|shishi}}'', or 狛犬 ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that share traits with lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.
====Name origin====
Growlithe's name is likely a combination of ''growl'' and ''lithe'', meaning limber or flexible. Its Japanese name may simply refer to its abilities as a guard dog.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Fukano
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caninos - Based off of ''canine'', and possibly ''os'' (bone).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 가디 ''Gadi''

*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 護主犬 - Literally "owner protecting hound".

Sandbone4:

Hello, I am Sandbone4. This is my User Talk page.
In case you were wondering, the name Sandbone4 derives from my two favorite [[Generation I]] Pokémon, [[Sandslash]] and [[Cubone]].
Well, I started Pokémon with my [[Sapphire]] several years ago. There I caught every sing Pokémon except [[Deoxys]], [[Jirachi]] (I don't do [[events]]), [[Latios]], [[Latias]] (How was I supposed to know you can't catch them after you kill them?), [[Feebas]] (I spent hours fishing at the same fishing spot), and [[Mudkip]]. I've caught all of them several years later with the help of trading with my buddies.

I have since began watching the anime starting with [[EP001| ''Pokémon-I Choose You!'' ]] and played through Pokémon [[FireRed]], [[LeafGreen]], [[Ruby]], [[Emerald]], and [[Platinum]].
I am awaiting for the arrival of [[HeartGold and SoulSilver]], as I have never played those versions. I am definitely going to choose [[Totodile]].

My favorite Pokémon of all time is [[Gliscor]]. ''SCOR!''

Thanks for reading my talk page, hoped ya liked it =)

User talk:Sandbone4

2009-05-20T03:12:17Z

Sandbone4:

Hello, I am Sandbone4. This is my User Talk page.
In case you were wondering, the name Sandbone4 derives from my two favorite [[Generation I]] Pokémon, [[Sandslash]] and [[Cubone]].
Well, I started Pokémon with my [[Sapphire]] several years ago. There I caught every sing Pokémon except [[Deoxys]], [[Jirachi]] (I don't do [[events]]), [[Latios]], [[Latias]] (How was I supposed to know you can't catch them after you kill them?), [[Feebas]] (I spent hours fishing at the same fishing spot), and [[Mudkip]]. I've caught all of them several years later with the help of trading with my buddies.

I have since began watching the anime starting with [[''Pokémon-I Choose You!'']] and played through Pokémon [[FireRed]], [[LeafGreen]], [[Ruby]], [[Emerald]], and [[Platinum]].
I am awaiting for the arrival of [[HeartGold and SoulSilver]], as I have never played those versions. I am definitely going to choose [[Totodile]].

My favorite Pokémon of all time is [[Gliscor]]. ''SCOR!''

Thanks for reading my talk page, hoped ya liked it =)
