== Master Trainers ==

In light of the edit warring, seeking an opinion before adding it to the page -- the Rhyhorn and Rhydon master trainers, Farkas and Eugene, seem to be a reference to Bulk and Skull from Power Rangers. For what it has to do with the characters, the Dinosaur-like design of Rhydon, or the tough guy demeanor of the two, could be points of note. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 05:58, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
:I can see that, both points are valid enough connections.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:08, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

::::If you'd notice, Drake Clawfang provided two other points other than their names. That's why I accepted that one, and not the ones I removed.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:05, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

How should these so called "special spawns" be added to the Let's Go encounter lists? Without them, the lists remain incomplete. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:59, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

== Articles for the mainspace ==

I've got several character and location pages completed, I was hoping you could have a look over them and hopefully move them to the mainspace if deemed notable and complete enough. The Marina Group page is needing only images, but I'll wait to see if you think it is notable or not. Also, all of the articles previously marked as not notable can now been deleted, as all the information on those pages has been placed into the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]].

::Articles I'm a little unsure of (they're notability), get second opinions:

::::Tide Song Hotel and Kantonian Gym? Never got a definite answer on whether those are needed or not, at the time I asked. Haven't really asked again since other things took priority. Looker events can be made.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:44, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
:::::Thanks Force Fire, feel free to move the ready articles onto the mainspace and I'll continue to work on the others. Thanks again. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 06:48, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

:::::::Thanks BigDocFan. I hadn't noticed because the links on my userpage are still connected to the articles, I'm not sure how the redirects are deleted though, but in the past I've seen admins move pages without leaving a redirect.

How are '''my''' mainspace candidates coming along? It's been half a year since I brought them up. Can they be mainspaced soon?
* [[User:FinnishPokéFan92/Kantonian Gym]]
* [[User:FinnishPokéFan92/Tide Song Hotel]]
Yeah, I've forgotten to remove the "under construction" part, but still, I feel like it's high time that these pages got mainspaced. What do you think? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:57, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
:I think you're better off asking other admins if those pages are notable. All I can do is re-iterate that the discussion among the staff regarding those articles just never took off, and with me not having any strong opinions whether they should be mainspaced, haven't really bothered asking again.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:01, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

:::Also these pages which were said to be okay to be mainspaced are now ready:

::::::Would it be worth creating a recurring anime character page or category to make it easier to search up human characters that have appeared in more than one episode?

It seems the Kantonian Gym is due to appear in the anime within a few weeks. Who could I contact to get my articles mainspaced or a permission to do it myself? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:59, 5 April 2019 (UTC)
:You already contacted abcboy (I think), best to wait a response or alert him again. I know it's been months since you asked, but that should tell you that it's not of a high priority.

== Do you know of any Bulbapedian(s) who know proper Korean & Chinese romanizations? ==

I just finished editing and formatting my [[User:SilSinn9801/List of common phrases from fortune-teller tents (Festival Plaza) in other languages|List of common phrases from fortune-teller tents (Festival Plaza) in other languages]]. However, I am not yet asking you to check if it is worthy of mainspacing, but rather ask you a side question: Do you know of any Bulbapedia contributor(s) fluent in Korean who can review the Korean romanizations in my page above and make any corrections there? And/or any Chinese-fluent Bulbapedian(s) who can do the same thing for the pinyin in the same page? Thankee! --[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 09:26, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
:Check the {{bp|Staff}} page to see who's fluent in what (although it doesn't say who's fluent in Korean). I don't know of any normal user that can speak and knows either language.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:38, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
::The only reason Korean isn’t mentioned there is because there is no Korean wiki in [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]].

Carmen’s userpage says she knows some Korean, so I also asked her about the romaja in my draft article.

== Template: Item for LGPE ==

Thanks for updating the [[Template: Item]]. I already updated the [[Candy]] page for the update. It appears that the '''PE''' doesn't show up properly, however.

Just one other request: do you think you can change all the "lgpe" to just "pe" for the sake of consistent conventions? Thanks. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:49, 4 January 2019 (UTC)
:Fixed the issue with the game abbreviation. Also changed every instance of lgpe to pe.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:53, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
::The template works now (eg in [[Candy]] and [[Berry]]). While we're on the issue of updating templates, can you take a quick look at [[Template:Stats]] and [[Template:Pokémon/7]]? It's been a while since they've been updated for LGPE, so I made my tested versions of those templates and left the test cases in their respective Talk pages. Thanks! [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 19:02, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

==Oranguru's Place==
Last year, I asked abcboy whether [[User:BigDocFan/Oranguru's Place]] was good for mainspacing, his only complaint about the article was its name and would speak with other admin about it. This was sometime ago and I haven't heard anything back though I have asked him about it.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 09:08, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
:I've asked the other admins, awaiting a response. Personally, I don't think it's notable since it was only important for one episode. But since this series is on-going, it could be important in a future episode (thus could change my mind).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:46, 5 January 2019 (UTC)

== My trivia on protect and hidden power ==

First, I wrote "learned by most species", not "used by most species". Pokemon ''use'' struggle; they do not ''learn'' struggle. Second, I looked through the entire list of near-universal TM moves, and protect and hidden power really were the most universal of all of them. [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 05:14, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
:Don't add back removed trivia. I can see from the table on the TM page that their are ''several'' moves that are near universal. Attract, Frustration, Rest, Return so on so forth.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:00, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

==Bewear Rescues==
Was wondering if [[User:BigDocFan/Bewear Rescues]] might be worth mainspacing as a running gag?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 17:33, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

== Pointless edits ==

One day, I was checking the log of blocked users and saw a handful being blocked for 30 days for “making pointless edits”. How does Bulbapedia define '''pointless edit''' and could you provide a few examples of what could be considered to be pointless edits (so that I do not make the same mistakes and end up like those monthly losers)? ‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 05:26, 12 January 2019 (UTC)
:Depends on the edit. Changing sentences to say the exact same thing as it was before, adding info and immediately reverting yourself, adding unecessary white space, are some of the examples.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:32, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

== Underleveled Pokémon page ==

I'm requesting that we should start a page with a list of all underleveled Pokémon owned by the trainers (excluding the Pokémon from the battle facilities). I detected that in Gen II games, if you chose {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{ga|Silver}} has a level 16 {{p|Croconaw}}, but its lowest natural level is 18.

:::In its current state, probably not. If anyone wants to know, just give them the link to the userpage and they'll edit it. Don't worry about it not getting "traffic".

== Usertags for tagging suspected sockpuppets and their sockmasters ==

I just made two usertag templates that could be worth your attention as to whether they could be approved for templatespacing:
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Sockpuppet]]
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Sockmaster]]

Admins could use these usertags for temporarily tagging sockpuppets and sockmasters on their userpages (at least until such pages are hit with {{m|Perish Song}}) in a fashion not unlike what is done on Wikipedia (where they use [[wp:Template:Sockpuppet]] and [[wp:Template:Sockpuppeteer]] for the same purpose). ‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 01:54, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
:Just because Wikipedia does a thing, '''does not''' mean we have to do the same. We have our own rules and guidelines, and they have theirs. I don't think it's necessary. '''At all'''. It's basically throwing around accusations at possibly innocent users, even if you have all those parameters.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:51, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
::Well, at least I hope you understood my choice of Pokémon ({{p|Shuppet}} for sockpuppet, {{p|Hypno}} for sockmaster) for the usertags, even if they were just defeated with {{m|Perish Song}}.

== Links to fan sites and theory sites ==

Do we provide such links or references in any article? Or is it the same problem of copyrights to avoid them? [[User:Eastern Goldfinch|Eastern Goldfinch]] ([[User talk:Eastern Goldfinch|talk]]) 15:15, 13 January 2019 (UTC)
:Using fan sites and theory sites as references are not allowed, the former because they are fan sites and the latter because theories are mostly just speculation and rumors.

== Request to delete unneeded redirect ==

I had just renamed a draft template in my userspace, leaving behind a redirect. I now want an admin to delete the now-unneeded redirect page:

I also request the deletion of these two no-longer-needed draft templates:
* [[User:SilSinn9801/Fashion/headerUSUM]] ''(no longer needed because its functionality was finally incorporated into the official [[Template:Fashion/header]], so no need for two templates that do exactly the same)''
* [[User:SilSinn9801/Fashion/su]] ''(no longer needed <del>because [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) settled on using a table divider for segregating USUM-exclusive items from SM-original ones, so no need to individually mark USUM-exclusive items with {{gameabbrev7|USUM}}</del>)''

Should I add this to the Excape from Gengar's mansion thing (btw this is daytime)? https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-online-games/escape-from-gengars-mansion/

== Generation VII remake Pokémon ==

I was writing about it in the sense that all previous remakes have the ability to receive all Pokemon from all generations up until that game, either during the postgame or storyline. LGPE regress on this and only allows for the original 151 plus Meltan and Melmetal. [[User:Argentarus|Argentarus]] ([[User talk:Argentarus|talk]]) 06:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
:I think post-game shouldn't count, since it's obvious that post game will have mons from outside the original generation. If LGPE ''adds'' Meltan and Melmetal, then that obviously makes the trivia false.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:33, 15 January 2019 (UTC)
::Then maybe more like "its the first remake to limit its own National Dex down to the generation that is being remade ''throughout the entire game''". Pokemon from Gens 2-7, besides Meltan and Melmetal, can't be sent from GO and don't exist in the game as obtainable Pokemon.

::FireRed and LeafGreen, even though the Gen 2 and 3 Pokemon only appear in the postgame, counts as it and all of the other remakes are being viewed in their entirety. FRLG has data for the Pokemon from the first three generations, they exist as '''obtainable''' Pokemon in the data.

== Trying to make my show/hide usertag box work correctly... ==

[https://i1380.photobucket.com/albums/ah164/SilSinn9801/showhide_zpsh0ierej7.png My problem with expandable usertag boxes…] (link to my PhotoBucket-stored image)

I am trying to turn my ridiculously-long box of usertags into a simple box of expandable usertag fields (using your infobox template as an idea), but I am not getting the results I want. If you see my PhotoBucket image above, you’ll see that I specified my headers to be horizontally centered within the box, but they only stay centered when they are collapsed; when I expand them by clicking on Show, they move to the far right (leaving a ridiculously-large gap to the left), and the usertags below such headers, rather than filling the whole width of the box, only fill an amount equal to the void to the left of the headers (leaving unsightly gaps to their right). This is my current partial wikicode:
<pre>{|style="{{roundy|16px}}; text-align:center; border:2px solid #000; background:#000; color: #fff; margin-right:8px; margin-bottom:8px; float:right; font-size:90%; width:320px;"

|-
|{{User Country|628|the United States|0000DD|DD0000|FFFFFF}}

== New proposed article: [[User:SilSinn9801/List of Pokémon that appear in only one regional Pokédex|List of Pokémon that appear each in only one regional Pokédex]] ==

I made this article proposal which I would like an admin like you to consider for mainspacing:
* [[User:SilSinn9801/List of Pokémon that appear in only one regional Pokédex]]
Each Pokémon in my proposed list above has so far appeared in just one regional Pokédex (the one that debuted in its corresponding generation), as opposed to [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|those who appeared in every regional Pokédex to date]] and [[List of Pokémon that do not appear in any regional Pokédex|those who appeared in none]]. Because all of the original 151 Kanto Pokémon also appeared in the Johto Pokédex, none of them is in my list above, thus leaving Meltan and Melmetal as the sole representatives of Kanto in such a list. Also not on this list are those Pokémon that appeared in at least two regional Pokédices (because I do not like to say Pokédexes), even if they did not appear in every Pokédex.

If this list is ever approved for mainspaced, then the {{template|pokelist}} navbox template may need to be updated to include this list.

I already notified [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) about this proposed article for consideration.

On average, how long does it take for staff to review a proposed article and reach a decision on whether to approve it or not?

P.S. the speech balloon on my signature is not an inline image, but a font character escaped via an HTML hex code (<code>&#x1F4AC;</code>, officially termed a {{wp|numeric character reference}}), so it should be acceptable under the [[Bulbapedia:Signature policy|Signature policy]]. If I were to directly type the character without first escaping it, then the wikicode processor, for some technical reason that seems to apply to all characters beyond U+FFFF, would stop at that character and truncate the remainder of the wikicode, as I just discussed [[Bulbapedia talk:Signature policy#Foreign characters|here]].

== Z-Move descriptions ==

I personally have not understood why the Z-Move descriptions when used in the anime or manga are not only displayed on their respective articles (where they definitely do belong) but also on the articles of Pokémon that have used them. Aren't those kinds of descriptions on Pokémon articles supposed to be reserved for improvised moves and combo moves, i.e. moves that don't exist in the games and thus must be described on the Pokémon's own articles due to those moves not having their own pages to be described on? Don't move articles have descriptions of the move ''specifically'' to avoid the need to put them on the articles of Pokémon that have used them? 
I've always seen that Z-Moves should be listed with the same template used to list other moves used by a Pokémon, just in a separate section. Like how, for example, [[May's Munchlax]] and [[James's Mime Jr.]]'s "Moves used" sections have subsections for moves they've used through moves that call other moves, like Metronome or Mimic.

::First, I don't think you can expect people to understand everything they read. Isn't that what talk pages are for? As for the trivium about surf, isn't carrying a person part of performing the move? If no, why not? And isn't it true that every HM move that involves carrying a person can be learned by Pokemon that don't look like they can carry people, making this trivium not unique to surf?

== List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex ==

You have this old, apparently-abandoned candidate-for-mainspacing page in your userspace:
* [[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex]]
It looks like you stopped at Generation IV, even though you were considering Kalos Pokédex in your entries. Your last edit dates back to November 2015, more than three years ago. What happened? Did you get tired of building up that page, even though it was tagged as a candidate for mainspacing?

Well, never mind that. I don’t know if you would consider this an intrusion, but I started to edit that page so as to take Alola Dex into consideration (because the {{template|alldexh}} and {{template|alldex}} templates were updated to include Adex and the table rows were looking kinda messed up relative to the table headers. Currently, only Generation I has been updated; I still need to update the other Generations and also add Gens. V to VI plus refresh the Hoenn numbers for all Gens. because of {{gameabbrev6|ORAS}}.

The wikicode itself is a total mess, a mixture of raw wikicode and {{template|alldex}} transclusions. Why didn’t you make a template for all those rows that could not be served by {{template|alldex}}? And even I think {{template|alldex}} was somewhat badly engineered: why does it have to default unspecified dex entries to "001", when the most logical choice could have been "---"? Well, yes, I know the reason: that less-than/greater-than conditional used for the Sdex column crashes whenever you feed "---" to it, hence why {{template|alldex}} cannot even be manually fed with "---" values (as I tried when entering "s=---").

Maybe I should make a new, sandboxed version of {{template|alldex}} to take "---" values into account, or a newly-named template that could be called <code><nowiki>{{multidex}}</nowiki></code> that would automatically fill unspecified dex values with "---" (and make those "<"/">" comparisons execute only if their input arguments are specified). With such a new template, your neglected “apparent pet project” could be greatly optimized and quickly updated to the current USUM-savvy situation, and perhaps inch closer to mainspacing (that’s why you tagged it for mainspacing in the first place, right?). Given that you apparently do not have spare time to work on this (but I do have plenty of spare time), would you find it acceptable for me to update that page of yours? (But first, I must test that prototype row template in my sandbox.)

Thankee! ‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') [[User talk:SilSinn9801|💬]] 03:01, 2 March 2019 (UTC)

I just created my sandboxed <code>alldex</code> template version:
* <code><nowiki>{{User:SilSinn9801/alldex}}</nowiki></code>
Unspecified dex numbers fall back to <code>#---</code> (rather than <code>#001</code>), and I added extra <code><nowiki>#ifexpr</nowiki></code> checks to ensure those less-than/greater-than conditionals do not crash when encountering <code>#---</code> (the <code>#---</code> is temporarily replaced with a sentinel value like <code>-1</code> or <code>0</code> for such comparisons) and to ensure {{sup/5|B2W2}} and {{sup/7|USUM}} do not show up for unspecified fallback values.

This sandbox template could now be used on your prototype multiple-dex page above (instead of all that ugly, extremely-tedious raw wikicode), if you give me the green light. Or, if you think this sandboxed version (which I do not think I need to change anymore — it looks stable enough to me) could be approved to replace the current {{template|alldex}} template, then feel free to nominate it for templatespacing.

:...
:The reason I abandoned that article was because X and Y was too much. Unlike BW or DPPt before it, XY literally added almost every Pokémon in its regional dex, meaning I had to add much, ''much'' more than what I had originally thought I would be adding (I believe I started the article around B2W2?). And here comes Sun and Moon to rear its ugly butt in and do the exact same thing as X and Y. And to be fair, they had to compensate the generation's lack of new Pokémon by adding a crap ton of older Pokémon. But still. It was just overwhelming. So I abandoned it.
:If you want to improve the page and make it more complete, be my guest. I could do it, I could've done it a long time ago. Time I had. Motivation I had not.
:As for the coding. When I started the article, I copied and pasted the template from the "Pokemon in every regional dex" article, hence Gen IV uses the alldex template. And since I never updated it, the amount of parameters that I inputted did not amount to the number of paramaters the template has now, hence why it looks messy. When editing the template, I swapped out the alldex template for the raw wikicode. I don't exactly remember why. Looking at the coding, seems that Gen IV was the only generation I had left to swap the alldex template out before giving up on the article.
:Adding "---" to the Sinnoh parameter in the Gen IV section will break the template, because the second parameter is set to Gen IV. You wouldn't add "---" in the column that ''should'' have a number. As for why it's default to 001, default is always 001 for list templates. Even if we were to update it, we don't need an entirely new template. All we have to do is change 001 to --- in the current template.
:Aside from all that. If you want to update the page, go for it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:00, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
::OK, thankee for your green light. However, I cannot use the current {{template|alldex}} template by doing <code>param="---"</code> in the transclusions - it breaks the mathematical comparisons (like <code><nowiki>{{{s}}} < 151</nowiki></code>, for example) when parsed, getting me red-colored error messages. Hence why I made the sandboxed version and re-engineered it (you can check its code and see how I improved it). But well, since you think there is no need to replace the current template, can I at least rename my sandboxed version of it to <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>User:SilSinn9801/multidex<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> before using it on your page?

:::I did '''not''' say that I prefer having 001 as the default, I was simply explaining why 001 is the default. As I said, we wouldn't need a completely new template, just update the one we currently have.

::::I am going to update the official alldex, but I discovered some inconsistency regarding Udex: Unlike Jdex, Hdex, and Adex (where new dex values are printed first and old values –if any– are printed as tooltips along with Gen.II/III/SM), for Ndex > 493 Udex prints the old dex value first and the U2dex value as a tooltip (with B2W2). Shouldn't it be the other way around: print u2dex first and then old udex as tooltip (with BW, unless both values are the same, as is the case of Patrat family), in pretty much the same fashion as Adex?

== Candidates for merging. ==

Dear ForceFire,

I am aware of the policy regarding merging, that there needs to be a discussion and a general consensus for it to occur. However, most of the pages that I and others have marked for merging or deletion in some cases have not been acted upon for months, or years in some cases like the [[Winds of Water]] page, and also no discussion has occurred.

Here is a list of pages that should be merged together:
* [[Kato]] and [[Kiko]]
* [[Sylvan]], [[Kako]], [[Taka]] and [[Shun]] into one page
* [[Lily]] and [[Violet]] into the [[Sensational Sisters]] page (this one had some discussion attached)
* [[Moose]] into [[Layla (M11)]]
* [[Pokémon Lover's Club]] into [[HopHopHop Town]]
* [[Laramie Village]] into [[Safari Land]]
* [[Pokémon Park (anime)]] into [[Tangelo Island]]
* The redirects on the [[Island of the Giant Pokémon]] page should be removed as well t save having to repeat the same information in the splinter pages.
I am bringing this up as the Mountain Lighthouse was not considered worthwhile having its own page simply because little happened there, and stands as a more suitable subsection of the [[Misty Village]] page.

==African Vulture/Annice Moriarty==
I've had a message on my talk page from African Vulture about Annice Moriarty which reads as follows:
I am currently working on fixing a mistake that has been made in regards to the Ugandan-American voice actress {{red link|Annice Moriarty}}, a woman that some in the anime communities have mistaken for a similar sounding voice actress named [[Kether Donohue]]
I'm wondering if you can help me migrate the page over to {{red link|Annice Moriarty}} as they are not the same person at all.
I've looked all over the internet, and I am unable to find any sources at all, even if she was not my sister.
Can I ask for help in correcting this mistake?
We actually did a parody of this on a youtube channel we created called Kether Ketchup, which was meant to make fun of the internet's mistake about Annie.
I would deeply appreciate help in fixing this error, and would like to know what sources people claim to have so we can address them.
thanks.

::I've already sent them a message.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:27, 6 March 2019 (UTC)

Not sure how I am supposed to prove who I am given that I don't go around sending people my personal information after an event a few years ago where I had personal info stolen when I last visited this country I am currently in, but if I can prove in a way that does not mean me sending personal info to you guys I can do it.
Annice Moriarty is a real name, not a pseudonym.
A pseudonym is a fake name that somebody uses as an alternative to their real name. Annie Moriarty could be considered a pseudonym to Annice. Annice is an African name as is my name, Ritaya.
thanks.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 14:28, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
Of course you need to recignize that neither Annice Moriarty or myself are American-born, I do not live in America.
So if you are looking through American birth records for Annice Moriarty you won't find her as she was not born in America.
Annice is an African name of likely Swahili or Malagasy origin (as our mo mwas Malagasy and our dad is from Uganda) She never told us where Annie's name is from exactly.
African vulture is my pseudonym, Annice Moriarty is Annice Moriarty's real name, we would not allow anybody to use the Annice Moriarty name because if they did we would be contacting them. By we I mean Annie.
As for proof for who I am, a little while ago when I came to visit where I am right now, I had an incident where my identity was stolen, because I gave personal info to somebody who wanted me to prove who I am. that's why I'm not willing to send personal information, so if there is a way I can prove to you who I am without sending a Zambian birth cirtificate, personal ID or anything like that, I cannot help you for now.
I'm ot even using my own e-mail address. A Canadian friend of mine allowed me to use his e-mail address for the purposes of this account. I chose him because of his knowledge of Pokemon, a series I am falling in love with myself.
So if there's anything I can do short of giving you my personal information after the incident a while ago, I can for sure help you.
thakns
Ritaya.

:We don't ask for your personal information and such. Just link to us a page that is related to the actual Moriarty, if there are any, and the staff will try to contact her. Also, I'm not saying Moriarty isn't a real name, I'm saying the Donohue possibly used at as her pseudonym.
:I searched through google for Annice Moriarty, I didn't look through any records, I don't have access to that. Also, Donohue was credited as Annice Moriarty in the actual credits of Kappa Mikey and an interview with her also stated that she voiced a character on the show.
:And since I couldn't find (read: google) ''anything'' about an Annice Moriarty, I will restore Donohue's page to what it was before.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:42, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

No, it must stay gone until you guys in th eanime community can provide proof that Donohue appropriated this Malagasy name.
You guys are drawing parallels based on voice and that both Moriarty and Donohue were in a couple of the same shows.
I don't doubt that Donohue has been in a couple of the shows that Annie has been in, but I'm affraid that you are the one who has to source that Moriarty is a pseudonym, since you guys argued the positive for eons.
I am merely challenging this with a where did you get this from.
IMDB is not reliable at all because it helps to propagate this lie/mis hearing of voices and misunderstanding of the interviews.
She may have been in Kappa Mikey but she's not Annie.
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 06:39, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

do not revert, she was in the show but until a source exists that shows Donohue's appropriation of the Annice Moriarty name, you must not re asd it. You may be highly respected on bulbapedia, including by me, but I do not respect your version due to it being wrong and not to mention unsourced.
Show me the interview that she says "I am Annice Moriarty" or "I did this under Annice Moriarty" or else leave it be for now until you can find such a source.
Donohue is a caucasian-American who has no right to the Malagasy name Annice Moriarty, if she were to use that name do you know how much the Malagasy and Swahili communities would be upset with her? especially in these times when cultural awareness is so strong?
Seriously, Annie is Annie, Kether is Kether.
Kether was in that show for sure, absolutely, but she did not use Annice Moriarty because she would otherwise be appropriating an ancient malagasy name.
thanks.
All these claims on sites like IMDB (which is user-submitted, I have submitted to that site myself for various things), and does not often fact check itself.
I am working on removing all Annice Moriarty credits from them, as is Annie herself. I am contacting Kether Donohue right now using my friend's e-mail and am going to make her aware of this post, so she can come and explain to you everything from her point of view.
give it time as she's likely a bus woman. thanks.

I am bringing a third party in just to help us figure this out.
You need to find more better sources if you want to make this claim that Annie's name was used by Kether Donohue.
The third party I found is [[User talk:Kogoro|Kogoro]], another well-respected bulbapedia member.
I want all of the Annice Moriarty stoff off that Kether Donohue not just because Annice Moriarty is my sister, but because there's nothing out there that officially verifies this. Leaving the real Annie asside, pesudonyms must always be verified before they can be added to places like this, it's in your own pollicies that you guys always push.
thanks.

==Idea for Pokemon move pages==
Seeing as some pages are getting really long because of all the ways lots of Pokemon can learn certain moves, what if the TM/HM/Move tutor tables are combined into one? The tables could have a header on how the move is learned in that particular generation, and they all use check marks to signify compatibility anyways, so I think it's a simple change that can go a long way in presenting data. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 13:40, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
:Gonna need to see what that would look like. I personally think TMs/HMS and tutor moves are completely different thing to be able to place into one table.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:44, 9 March 2019 (UTC)
::I wanna clarify that theyre really similar in move pages (say Defog), not in Pokemon pages (which should stay separate). You know how if a move is learnable by TM/HM the header displays the number of TM it is in a certain gen? If its learnable through move tutor, the header can read "Move tutor" instead. No move so far is both a TM and move tutor in the same gen, so conflicts between these shouldnt happen. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:41, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

== Evolution templates on branched Pokemon ==

I noticed on pages for Pokemon like Gallade that are on one branch of a branch evolution, the Evolution section doesn't show the other branch (in this example, Gardevoir). I believe this should be changed, and that Pokemon on one branch should show the other branch in their Evolution template— the other branch is already mentioned in the introduction to the article, and I believe it would be very useful information to include, especially since the introductions don't mention the evolution method for the other branch. --[[User:Celadonkey|cela]][[User:Celadonkey|donk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 17:06, 10 March 2019 (UTC)

==Green/Leaf==
My reason for replacing Leaf with Green is that you're holding a double standard with her. When Gold was renamed to Ethan, the admins made the decision of the games overrode any sort of supplementary material such as game guides that referred to him as Gold in Gen II. With the ORAS demo, this further confined to just the fully released games. Then with Elio/Selene, you guys used supplementary material since there was no established names in SM and USUM, which is understandable. What I don't get is why a figurine is the reason why "Leaf" is being held over, when the games should be, by Bulbapedia's standards, override any sort of supplementary material, since PE established her name as Green. Also, if you're guys are going to stick with "Leaf" in the context of FRLG, regardless, then shouldn't Ethan be referred to "Gold" in the context of GSC, too?

== Pointless edits ==

Dear ForceFire,
I remember writing that absolutely useless link to begin with simply because, guess what would happen, GrammarFreak01 would come along and add such useless links simply to get the latest edit on a page. I have complained about that user's edit stalking multiple times and spoken with the user about such matters, but they continue to repeat this conduct without consequence. GrammarFreak01 undid the link on the [[Rustboro City]] to begin with and that was all the user did in the revision, and it is was an unnecessary edit. I do not want that same behavior of unnecessary and pointless edits which the user has been spoken about to be enabled in any way. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 04:57, 18 March 2019 (UTC)

::I already acknowledged the link was unnecessary, but so was the change to the page by GrammarFreak01 to begin with.

I have left it alone to save an edit war, plus FinnishPokéfan92 got involved, but it still didn't sit right with me. I don't want to be adding unnecessary links to pages, but every time I edit a page shortly after GrammarFreak01 will find a gap to delete, change the way an apostrophe looks, changing a word to a synonym or add some of these unnecessary links to pages.

We know that both Donohue and Moriarty voice [[Lila]], that was what Tom Wayland said.
In fact it was Lila that was the source of the belief that Donohue and MOriarty were the same person, due to them both being credited and them both voicing the same character, albeit during different stages in her life.
I will not add any biographic info on Ann.
here's an easy way to gage my edits:
If Kether Donohue's name appears in the episode, then we can credit her. If Annice Moriarty's name is there, then we must put Annice Moriarty.

I also want to remind you of something:
I got 3 names for you:
*Allyson Johnson ([[Agatha]])
*Kathleen Delaney (Rouge the Bat)
*Caren Manuel (previously believed to have voiced both [[Agatha]] and Rough due to her similar voice to Johnson and Delaney)

Remember that?
That's the other reason why you have to be careful with pseudonyms.
thanks.
So my edits are based on the credits and what Wayland had actually said. thanks

I guess what I am saying is that the episodes from the galactic battles DVDs credit Annice Moriarty in some episodes, notably the ones with [[Candice]] in them, not Kether Donohue.
Donohue did for sure voice young [[Lila]] but Moriarty voiced adult lila.

== Are you active right now ==

Hello
I have no idea what time it is in Australia, wher I am it's about 10 to 9 in the morning.
At the page [[Dimensions]], Grammarfreak reverted my edits with no clear explanation on how it was poor.
I don't speak or write in U.S. English as I am not American. My sister lives in America, not me.
While English is not my first language, I speak it fine, but write differently than an American does, hence why Gramamrfreak doesn't likely understand me.
I am going to go to [[Dimensions]] and restore my edit again, but right after I do so I will attempt to edit it, assuming that gramamrfreak does not revert it and give me an edit conflict error.
Please respond sono as I don't trust Gramamrfreak's judgement here at all due to him not being clear as to his roll as a grammarfreak. more like deletefreak.

Here is the text I will add. It is an edited version of the one that grammarfreak says is poorly written to the point where he just can't edit it and instead deletes it.

here it goes:

*A parallel universe is shown in the episodes [[SM100|Battling the Beast Within]] and [[SM101|Parallel Friendships]]. This universe is similar to the universe that [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] live in. In this universe, [[Melemele Island]] is in ruins due to the [[Ultra Beast]] [[Guzzlord|Guzzlord]]

How is that version?

== Disputed moves ==

There are a few questions regarding disputed moves from the {{series|Sun & Moon}} that I'd like to see getting answered. Can you help? I'll list some of them below.
* [[Kiawe's Marowak]] used Bonemerang in its debut episode, and I think the "Headbutt" the subtitles referred to was just a generic headbutt instead of Headbutt the move, especially since it has never been commanded to use the move.
* [[Lusamine]]'s Salazzle definitely used a move while in Ultra Space. My personal guess is it's {{m|Sludge Wave}}. For some reason, the subtitles didn't identify this move at all.
* The {{p|Blacephalon}} from the Blacephalon and Xurkitree episode definitely used Mind Blown multiple times throughout the episode. That head blow-up trick isn't just some natural ability it has. Do you agree or disagree?
* [[Mallow's Tsareena]] definitely used Sweet Scent in the episode where it evolved. For some reason, Playerking95 or the subtitles don't seem to recognize this, despite the move being identical to Bounsweet and Steenee's Sweet Scent. What do you think? 
I may have forgotten some disputed moves, but these are what initially come to mind at least. Waiting for your reply, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:45, 12 April 2019 (UTC).
:I would like to weigh in and say Tsareena used Sweet Scent. We've seen enough proof from its pre-evolved forms to know what it was doing.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 19:12, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
::You know the answer to the first three, if the move wasn't called out or the captions doesn't say what the move is, then we won't add it. Yes, it use ''something'', but we don't know what it is, and we are '''not''' going to guess and potentially be very, ''very'' wrong. On Blacephelon, from it's Ultra Sun dex entry: "Then, without warning, it triggers the explosion of its own head.", so yes, it is a natural ability it has.
::For Tsareena, I've added it to my [[User:Force Fire/List of moves with unique animations|unique move animation]] page with the condition that its secondary effect takes affect and that it gets commanded/stated.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:10, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

::::What Rahl said. And are we going to ignore the fact that the Bonemerang that's called out is animated identically to the bone throw Marowak did in its debut episode? Or that Blacephalon's Pokédex entry could be referring to Mind Blown? Also, saying that Salazzle doesn't have any known moves is an outright lie. We ''clearly'' see it using a move, even if it wasn't called out. Could it at least be discussed about and be "confirmed" that way? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:34, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
:::::I'm still unsure of if there are other moves that have the same affect and would have the same animation, hence the "has to be commanded" requirement. I don't recall whether it was called out in Marowak's debut, but if it wasn't, then there's nothing we can do. It could be either, but the way the dex entry is worded, implies that it's natural. For Salazzle, as I said, we're '''''not''''' going to guess the move and risk being absolutely wrong. No. And it says "none of Salazzle's move are known", as in we don't know what the moves are, not that it didn't use any moves.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:50, 17 April 2019 (UTC)

Sorry for starting yet another subject before you've even gotten to respond to the previous one, but me and Grammarfreak01 both recently asked Playerking95 why he doesn't respond to some of his talk page posts, and his response was as follows:

I'm not saying they're gonna be replaced, but I really would like to know, if (when) the movie is getting a dub with that cast. They have not announced the cast yet, and probably will not in the near future. [[User:Smartorama|Smartorama]] ([[User talk:Smartorama|talk]]) 09:32, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

:Just because the dub cast hasn't been announced yet doesn't mean there won't be a dub at all. The anime is too popular to simply leave one of its movies undubbed, unless it contains something extremely insensitive, which we don't know. It's common sense at this point to assume there's a dub coming up. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:07, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

Hello, ForceFire. How are you? I need a little help. I have been blocked from the Archieves for quite a long time. I wanted to talk about something there, but no luck. And I didn’t mean to have a problem there and I want to help there again. So, if there’s anyway I can get unblocked? I want to make an adjustment on my profile page.--[[User:CoolPokeGuy|CoolPokéGuy]] ([[User talk:CoolPokeGuy|Talk]]) 02:44, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
:According to the log, you've been blocked for repeated image theft, which is grounds for an indefinite block (especially if you have ignored warnings). Begging to be unblocked won't get you unblocked, and going by the severity of your block, you are not getting unblocked. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:51, 20 May 2019 (UTC)
I didn’t mean to steal any images. I only add what I search. And I wasn’t impatient and begging. I thought the indefinite block has been gone long enough, that’s all.

== Is Bulbapedia's Gen 5 betamon info mostly rumors? ==

Hey Force Fire, how are ya. I made this Bulbapedia account just to send you this message.

I've got a YouTube channel that primarily focuses on beta Pokemon content (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QekTvy4UfoE), with an emphasis on having a source for everything. I'm working on Gen 5 now, and I was looking at Bulbapedia's unused Pokemon page. It seems that information regarding the beta of the Hydreigon family, Sawk, Throh, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Stunfisk is all credited to a Nintendo Dream interview with Ken Sugimori. But I've spent about 12 hours over the past couple days searching for that interview, or even a volume number that interview is meant to be contained in. I even googled around in Japanese. Couldn't find a thing. I asked my 22,000 subscribers for help, including some who are Japanese. No one could find anything. It seems Bulbapedia and many other sites have just been citing "a Nintendo Dream interview," and no one has been linking or citing a specific volume.

I'm thinking maybe it's meant to be volume 205, the May 2011 issue. But in that interview Sugimori only says that Hydreigon is based on the Yamata no Ochiri. I'm thinking all these quotes attributed to that Sugimori interview -- about dragon tanks, horned eyebrowless Oni, red Tornadus, and anglerfish Stunfisk -- probably don't exist, and that all Bulbapedia's Gen 5 betamon info is bunk -- all except Sawsbuck and Excadrill. I'd really like to be wrong though.

I tried combing through the page's history tab, but couldn't find where this information was added. Please let me know, I'd really appreciate it.

Btw, I also left this message on the page's talk page. My apologies if I shouldn't have done that, or if I've formatted this post incorrectly. I'm new to all this back-end wiki stuff. I tried sending you a DM in the forum but it said I needed more posts in order to send a DM. So I came here since you appear to be the most active admin.

Cheers Force Fire.

I'm relatively new here (account since 2013) but do have familiarity with the general philosophical underpinnings of a wiki (I work with them all day!) and could use your help in understanding the polices and norms here. I don't dispute your claim that the English voice actor is correct. However I've been told that Bulbapedia requires reliable sources (see my talk page). I don't see any source for the claim. So I removed it thinking I was helping. Could you please help clarify how you know this is correct so I don't run afoul of future confusion? Thanks for your time.

::Thanks for responding. Ok, that's cool thet we have a reliable source (the voice director) that can confirm claims like who voiced what character. Glad to hear someone (you) were able to verify the claim. I'm curious, as someone who is new around here, how am I suppose to know who has what information? How is it verifiable from someone like me, who doesn't know other users or what access they have? Heck, how do I know you're telling the truth! (I'm joking) Is there a place to learn this somewhere?

:::BigDocFan usually says in his edit summary that his source is the voice director (he can't actually show the e-mail publicly, he sends the screenshot to me privately). You can tell if an addition is legitimate if the user cites a source in their edit summary. Usually it'll be a direct source from the voice actor's twitter/social media confirming their role.

:Alola TV station, Ho-oh shrine, Marie's father, and the Light trio look good to go. I think they're fine to be mainspaced.

LGPE isn't there because they haven't been uploaded yet and the template hasn't been updated yet to support LGPE. As for why they're not animated.

== Elevators ==

Something that I've been wondering for a good time now: should elevators be given their own article? They've been pretty prominent in the Pokémon series since the very beginning, especially in the games. Do you think they'd deserve to have an article of their own? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:03, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

::::The Elevator Keys, the infamous Lift Key; the fact that elevators are operated manually in Gens 1 to 3, either automatically or by talking to a person in Gen 4 and so on; the elevator glitch from Silph Co. in Gen 1...

== SM129 Electro Ball ==

I dare say that the attack that Pikala's Pikachu used in [[SM129]] was Electro Ball. We've seen Zap Cannon only a couple episodes earlier, and if you compare the two attacks, you can see some key differences, like the electric sparks around the orb of electricity. And the fact that it's an orb of electricity kinda disqualifies the chance of it being Hidden Power. And, as the most solid evidence of all, it looks '''identical''' to the Electro Balls that Ash's Pikachu also used earlier in Sun & Moon, with the same animation style. Do you think this is enough evidence? Please don't be a stickler. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:17, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
:Just the fact that both Zap Cannon and Electro Ball having similar animations rules out Electro Ball's animation being unique. Your description of the differences really means nothing, "electric sparks" is so vague... both are Electric moves, so that just becomes moot. Just because it looks identical to what Ash's Pikachu used, doesn't make it the same move if it was not stated to be the move. The animators and writers have been inconsistent before, and they still may be inconsistent today. I know it sounds like I don't trust the animators and writers, but we're just not taking that chance to be wrong.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:06, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
::I have enough eye for detail to compare Electro Ball and Zap Cannon side to side and see that they're not identical. We should pay more attention to detail and not just leave a move unidentified because it's "too similar" to another one. Please. Take a look at those two moves side by side. I definitely see some key differences myself. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:21, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
:::We're not going to let user guess moves with their eyes, like we're not going to let users guess voice actors with their ears. It's too risky and there is always a chance of being absolutely wrong. There may be differences, but you can't be certain the next time a move is used (and not called out) that it'll be the same move. The writers could make it another move, because they can. Our rules, while strict, is just pretty simple. Unless it has a unique animation, it has to be called out. Electro Ball neither has a unique animation or was called out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:02, 14 July 2019 (UTC)

== Thief ==

In the most recent episode, Acerola's Gengar, which was previously seen as a wild Pokémon in the Ula'ula Island arc, was revealed to know Thief. While having a basic animation, the move was kinda similar to how Gengar stole items in its first appearance. Should we take this as it having also used Thief back then or do we say move to as only shown off now? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:04, 21 July 2019 (UTC)
:If it was first commanded in the recent episode, then that was it's debut, especially if it's animation is way too vague/simple (also, the act stealing items doesn't equal the move Thief, like how the act of flying isn't the move Fly).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:34, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
::Figured as much.

== Sokuon (っ/ッ) use ==

You reverted me for using ''tch'' instead of ''cch'' on the page [[In-game trade]].

Actually, the sokuon (Hiragana: っ; Katakana: ッ), presented as small ''tsu'', doubles a ''geminate'' consonant. That means it can double ''k'', ''s'', ''t'' and ''p'', and their voiced variants (''j'' can't be doubled). However, while doubling digraphs (''sh'', ''ch'', ''ts''), only the first letter is doubled, except ''ch'', which, with sokuon, creates ''tch'' (rather than ''cch'').

Example: 抹茶を買いたいのですが。 ''Matcha-o kaitai nodesuga.'' (This is because I connect particles in romanizations by a dash, so syllables like え and ヘ can be distinguished, as when ヘ is a particle, it's pronounced ''e'').

This sentence translates to “{{tt|We'd|We would}} like to buy some {{wp|matcha}}”.

Further examples of sentences with a sokuon:

あなたのバッグはいっぱいです。 ''Anata-no baggu-wa ippai desu.'' Your [[bag]] is full.

イッシュヘ行きます。 ''Isshu-e ikimasu.'' We're flying to [[Unova]].

お母さん、ペットが欲しいよ！ ''Okāsan, petto-ga hoshii-yo!'' Mum, I want a pet!

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is an aspiring {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}} from [[Pewter City]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling partner}} of {{Ash}}. He is also the former [[Gym Leader]] of the [[Pewter Gym]].

==History==
[[File:Young Brock.png|thumb|left|220px|Young Brock]]
===Pre-series===
Not much is known about Brock's early childhood. In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', he revealed that his {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}} was an {{TP|Brock|Onix}} he received as a tenth-birthday {{pkmn2|gift}} from his father {{ka|Flint}}.

When he was younger, he participated in {{wp|Little League Baseball}}, as mentioned in ''[[EP125|The Little Big Horn]]''.

Prior to joining {{Ash}} at the end of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', Flint left the family home to pursue his own ventures. As a result, Brock assumed the responsibility of running the [[Pewter Gym]] while also taking care of {{Brocksib|his nine younger siblings}} on his own.

===As Ash's traveling companion===
In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', after Brock awarded Ash the {{Badge|Boulder}}, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to {{pkmn|journey}} with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather [[Pokémon training#Caretaking|care]] for Pokémon than {{pkmn|battle}} them. It was his dream to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream.

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 [[Officer Jenny]] in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]] in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]''. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.
[[File:Brock goodbye EP083.png|thumb|250px|Brock leaving the group to stay with [[Professor Ivy]]]]
Brock took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a Breeder named [[Suzie]].

Brock briefly left the show during the [[S02|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|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. In the English dub of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', he mentioned his work for her. 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]].

In ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'', Brock returned Vulpix to Suzie. Together, they entered Vulpix into the [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]] in [[Bonitaville]].

At the end of Ash and {{ashfr}}' journey in Johto, 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 {{type|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.
[[File:Brock family.png|thumb|left|250px|Brock's family]]
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 {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the {{series|Advanced Generation}} ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a {{tc|Doctor|Pokémon Doctor}}, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', with the notable exception of the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Orange League arc|Orange Islands saga}}, the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode. It is also ranked under [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who also have appeared in every episode except for the [[EP001|very first episode]]; [[AG120]]; and a few episodes of the {{series|Best Wishes}}, the {{series|XY}}, and the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

Brock made an appearance in [[SS025]], where it was revealed that, while waiting to attend a Pokémon medical school, he had been studying hard at home as well as helping out at the [[Pewter City]] [[Pokémon Center]]. In the episode, he played a major role in helping [[Forrest]] to officially become the Pewter City Gym Leader when it is revealed that his father never informed the [[Pokémon League]] of the title change.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
[[File:SS027.png|thumb|250px|Brock meeting {{an|Cilan}}]]
Brock was mentioned in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]'', when Dawn learned that {{an|Cilan}} cooks for himself, Ash and {{an|Iris}}. She said this was similar to the way Brock used to for her and Ash before he decided to become a Pokémon Doctor. He also appeared in flashbacks in ''[[BW088|The Mystery of the Missing Cubchoo!]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''. In addition, he appeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

Brock appeared in person in [[SS027]], where it was revealed that he had attended the Pokémon medical school and had been sent to [[Johto]] to apprentice under a Pokémon Doctor as part of his training. While passing through the town he bumped into [[Pokémon Connoisseur]] Cilan briefly, then encountered him again when Cilan took his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} to be treated at the town's [[Pokémon Center]] after it was injured by a {{p|Gyarados}}. While waiting for it to recover, the two encountered the beginning Trainer [[Ayumi]] who was having trouble teaching her {{p|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}; Brock was very impressed with Cilan's talents as Cilan helped Pikachu master the move. Later, when the Gyarados that Cilan encountered earlier started to rampage due to being injured by the {{pkmn|poacher}} [[Amer]], Brock spotted that it was injured, so after Pansage's {{m|Grass Whistle}} put it to {{status|sleep}}, Brock was able to quickly treat it. Afterwards, the two said goodbye to each other and continued their separate travels, having never learned their names or that {{Ash}} was a mutual friend of theirs.

==={{series|Sun & Moon}}===
[[File:Brock and Lillie.png|thumb|left|250px|Brock checking on [[Snowy]]]]
Brock reappeared in several {{series|Sun & Moon}} episodes, first reappearing with ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]''. Brock reunited with Ash when he and {{ashcl}} arrived at the Kanto airport, where he also used his expertise as a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} to diagnose {{an|Lillie}}'s [[Snowy]]'s airsickness as harmless. Brock and Misty then compared Kantonian and [[Regional variant|Alolan]] Pokémon with the class at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. Later, Brock and the rest of the group worked together to defeat {{TRT}}, who Brock was angry to find were still up to their old tactics of stealing Pokémon. Afterwards, the group had a party and learned from {{an|Professor Kukui}} that the class had plans to head to [[Cerulean City]] for a Gym battle.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', the group arrived at Cerulean City, where Brock and Misty assisted Professor Kukui's lecture on the mechanics of Gym battles and the [[Pokémon League]]. Brock defeated Lillie and {{an|Sophocles}} in a [[Multi Battle]], then used his [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} to defeat {{an|Kiawe}} and his {{TP|Kiawe|Turtonator}}. He and Misty then bade Ash and his classmates farewell and accepted Ash's offer to visit [[Alola]] sometime in the future.

In ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', Brock accompanied Misty to Alola and met up with Ash and his classmates. Stopping by the [[Pokémon Center]], he flirted with Nurse Joy, only to be stopped by Misty. He remained behind to assist Nurse Joy as she treated a {{p|Yungoos}}.

In ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'', Brock and Misty accompanied Ash and his classmates to [[Akala Island]]. They visited [[Paniola Ranch‎‎]], where a {{p|Kangaskhan}} was threatening the Pokémon after its baby was injured. Using a {{TP|Brock|Comfey}} that Nurse Joy had given him, Brock was able to treat the baby Kangaskhan's injury. Later, upon meeting [[Island Kahuna]] [[Olivia]], Brock immediately fell in love with her and they agreed to a battle. Brock used Sudowoodo against her {{p|Lycanroc}}, but the battle was interrupted when Team Rocket attempted to steal the Pokémon. Brock teamed up with Olivia to turn Lycanroc's {{m|Continental Crush}} into the shape of a heart, which defeated Team Rocket. At the end of the episode, Brock returned to Kanto alongside Misty.

Brock will reappear in [[M22]].

Brock also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''.

==Character==
[[File:Brock preparing Pokémon food.png|thumb|left|220px|Brock preparing [[Pokémon food]]]]
Prior to joining {{Ash}} on his {{pkmn|journey}}, Brock had become increasingly frustrated and harsh towards challengers as a result of his responsibilities as both the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]] and the main caretaker for his {{Brocksib|nine younger siblings}}. Even while traveling, he would think of his family, returning home on several occasions like in ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

Brock is noticeably mature, wise, and levelheaded, often acting as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before himself and will support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. 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. However, in the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, this role was mostly taken over by [[Max]], who owned a [[PokéNav]].

He is renowned for his domestic abilities like sewing, vacuuming, and, most notably, cooking, which Ash and the others always enjoy without fail. The capacity of Brock's [[Bag]] is endless, as seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', where it is capable of containing full tea-sets, tables, and cooking utensils. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[Potion]]s and [[Pokémon food]], though he has to make pit stops in towns so he could restock the group's supplies.
[[File:Max Brock ears.png|thumb|left|220px|Max pulling Brock's ears]]
Despite this, all of his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, and he is extremely passionate over the prospect of finding the girl of his dreams, though he is usually never successful in wooing a woman. Despite this, a few women have been known to show interest in him, such as [[Wilhomena]], [[Temacu]], [[Natalie]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}, [[Holly]], {{OBP|Autumn|DP062}}, [[Narissa]], [[Lizabeth]], and [[Olivia]]. Despite his failures, 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. In addition, some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

He also carries a small blue journal containing information on every girl he meets, referring to it in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as his "Little Blue Book of Babes". It most recently appeared in ''[[SM103|Heart of Fire! Heart of Stone!]]'' and featured [[Island Kahuna]] [[Olivia]].
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|240px|thumb|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
His love of the [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]] family lines, in particular, can be overbearing and embarrassing for his friends. Brock can also tell whether they are real or impostors, as well as make out subtle physical differences between them. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series.

Brock was not shown to {{pkmn|battle}} often in spite of his experience as a former Gym Leader, though he happily accepts challenges from girls like [[Miki]], [[Molly Hale]], and Olivia. Instead, he tended to advise Ash on battle strategies and keenly watched matches from the sidelines, seeing the knowledge as valuable to understanding a Pokémon in its entirety.

His goals have played a passive role in his development, and Brock's overall role has generally been one as support for other main characters, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action of the series. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his initial aim to become a great {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} was a quiet one and thus did not get showcased frequently. Brock's experience with {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} taught him a lot about conditioning and nutrition, while further knowledge came from raising {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}. He questioned whether he was actually pursuing his dreams like his friends near the end of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and ultimately decided to become a Pokémon {{tc|Doctor}} instead.

==Pokémon==
As [[Gym]] tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, were {{t|Rock}} [[types]]. However, once he was able to leave the [[Pewter Gym]] and go on a {{pkmn|journey}}, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the [[friendship|bond]] between Trainer and Pokémon.

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 have been shown to be very capable battlers, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to {{pkmn|training|train}} his Pokémon. Brock {{pkmn|groomer|grooms}} not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels.

This is a listing of {{cat|Brock's Pokémon}} as of the most recent Japanese episode. Pokémon listed as "on hand" have been seen since his return to the anime in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Brock AP.png|thumb|220px|Brock in the Ash & Pikachu manga]]
===In the Ash & Pikachu manga===
Brock appears as a main character of the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga, similar to his role in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

He temporarily left the group in ''[[SP17|Let's Save Pikachu!!]]'' but rejoined {{Ash}} in ''[[SP18|The Keeper Of The Tree, Treecko!!]]''.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Brock EToP.png|thumb|220px|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequently recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the {{Badge|Boulder}}. After defeating Brock and earning the Badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he separates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Brock in the manga is much like he is in the Pokémon anime: he is the Leader of the [[Pewter Gym]], but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

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

==Trivia==
[[File:Brock Memories.png|thumb|250px|Some [[Photography|old memories]] of Brock with his traveling companions]]
* 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 he stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even {{Ash}}, by capturing {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', exactly one episode after [[EP005|his debut]].
* 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 fool Brock.
* 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}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since [[Evolution|evolved]].
* Brock is the only person to have been Ash's main traveling companion for more than one series, traveling with him during the [[original series]] (minus the {{DL|List of original series episodes|Orange League arc}}), {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
* The {{series|XY}} is the only series where Brock does not appear and is never mentioned.
** However, the ear pull {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] did on Brock was referenced by {{an|Shauna}} and {{an|Tierno}} in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.
* Brock ranked first place in a 20th anniversary poll leading up to ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' concerning former cast members viewers want to see return.<ref>https://s.animeanime.jp/article/2017/05/11/33827.html</ref>

===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 an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points 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 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.

==Gardevoir==
C'mon
I want some really good explanation. Did you even read what I wrote? [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 00:27, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
:Firstly, please do not come to my page rudely demanding answers. If you want to discuss something, you could at least ask politely. But regarding your Guenevere edits. What connects Gardevoir to Guenevere? The story of Lancelot and Guenevere, or indeed King Arthur's entire story, is a very detailed and varied legend. Saying Gardevoir is based on Guenevere simply because its Japanese name has 'knight' in it and some superficial sound similarities is a weak suggestion at best. There's a lot more to Guenevere than that, such as her queenly nature and forbidden romance with Lancelot. There's also other woman in Arthurian legend, Morgan, Morgause, Elaine, Nimue, to name a few. It also completely bypasses the fact the Gardevoir is not a 100% female species. They can be male. There really wasn't much added in edit besides that. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 02:33, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
::Sorry 'bout being rude, wasn't my intention. I just got really frustrated, didn't mean to be disrespectful.
::I do want to have a polite discussion about it.

::So; about Gardevoir and Guinevere. Firstly, I'd like to begin with Guinevere's Welsh original name and its meaning; Gwenhwyfar, " which seems to be cognate with the Irish name Findabair, can be translated as "The White Enchantress" or "The White Fay/Ghost", from Proto-Celtic *Uindo- "white, fair, holy" + *seibara "magical being" (...)". Just this small definition already explains part of Gardevoir's design and typing (Including the retconned Fairy-type). And yes, their names have phonetical similarities.
::Now, about the story, I'd like to remind us that we do have a Lancelot/Gallahad pokémon counterpart, this one being Gallade, reforcing the ideia that Gardevoir is related to this especific Arthurian Legend and characters. And since you talked about its gender, this one is really interesting; because in my edit, I did add "Gardevoir resembles a theatre {{wp|actor}}" because of it. As known, Gardevoir and its family are related to performatic art; in this case, Gardevoir is a principal dancer (reflecting Guinevere's importance as a main character in her story) and an actor; and yea, not actress. This is because during the Middle Ages actress on the stage weren't common; usually, the men would dress as a woman to interpret such roles.
::I'd also like to discuss about it being primarily treated as a ghost. Gadevoir may have a "ghostish" appearance, but to conclude it is a ghost seems kinda weird. It doesn't seem related to any specific kind of ghost, it doesn't have a ghost type, its description doesn't relate to ghosts, and it almost doesn't learn any ghost moves! And a ghost that would give up their life to protect their trainer? Doesn't make much sense to me. And why would it be trapped here?

::Anyway, that's it. Once again, sorry if I sounded rude. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 03:58, 2 October 2016 (UTC)
:::To call Gallade a Lancelot/Gallahad counterpart to Gardevoir is kind of awkward. Lancelot, perhaps, but as Gallahad was Lancelot's illegetimate son by another woman, that's awkward. Also, the phoenetical similarities only exist in the English name, and that and the name meaning are really the only things lending any support to this theory. I strongly disagree with saying Gardevoir is based on Guenevere because of the lore surrounding both.

:::Gardevoir is a protector. It's entire story regards it foretelling the future and protecting its training. In counterpoint, it was the knights protecting Guinevere that brought about the fall of Arthur's kingdom. Also, while Guenevere's name may mean enchantress, she doesn't act as one in the stories. That 'honor' falls on other Arthurian woman. Every person in Arthurian legend has a group of stories just for them, and trying to narrow Gardevoir and Gallade down to specific characters is only going to create weak connections at best. It's better to simply say its based on a knight and leave it there.

:::As for the actor bit, it still disregards the fact that Gardevoir can be either gender. I'm well aware of how men would play women's roles in the middle ages. The problem is that its either saying its specifically based on a woman, or that its a man playing a women. It's a weak connection at best in my opinion.

:::For the ghost part, you're connecting to the type too much. Gardevoir is in the Amorphous egg group as well, suggesting a more spiritual body form. Furthermore, ghosts remain behind because they unfinished business - in this particular case the business would be protecting its Trainer. Not 'trapped' per se, but choosing to stay to guard those it loves. Now, stating ghost as its primarily origin may not be absolutely correct, but it has more connection there than to the legends surrounding Guenevere.

:::The only part that was added that I would agree with is saying that it may be based on a knight, as its Japanese name and lore are both in agreement with that. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 04:18, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

::::Hm, I guess that does make sense. So the Knight part is the only one addition we both seem to agree completely.
::::I won't keep pressing on this, but still, couldn't it be at least considered? I mean, something like "although unlikely, Gardevoir shares a few resemblances with Guinevere"? Or about the similar sonority in their names? It does seem like something worth to point out. Just a brief mention would be enough, could even to prevent some future discussions like this with other members.
:::: Anyways. Again, thanks for hearing me out. [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 05:19, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

== Starter abilities ==

Hi, I wasn't sure why my edits got reverted? I figured I should ask you before adding the trivia on Panpour and Simipour's pages too... It ''is'' factual that those elemental monkey Pokémon are the only evolution lines who can have abilities that are otherwise exclusive to starters, and I think that's significant. I was very careful with my wording - I even said "can", being mindful that the abilities are hidden ones for them - so I'm not really sure what I was doing wrong with that? [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 16:31, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:True doesn't necessarily mean notable. Yes, they can have these Abilities, but is it significant? Not particularly. Their purpose is to be parallel to the starters, so it kind of makes sense they would have these Abilities. Also, the fact that they are hidden abilities makes it less notable. They can have them, but lots of Pokemon have exclusive Abilities as Hidden Abilities, like Drought or Drizzle. It's also pretty obvious looking at the pages for the Abilities, so there's no need to point it out. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 16:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

== Torra from torrefy ==

I thought I should point out that Torra might also come from Torrefy.

VERB

[WITH OBJECT]
technical
Roast, scorch, or dry (a substance such as an ore, a drug, or a fuel) with heat to drive off all moisture or impurities.
‘torrefying wood loses 30% of the mass but only 10% of the energy’
Origin
Early 17th century: from French torréfier, from Latin torrefacere dry by heat, from torrere parch, scorch.

another possible but less likely origin is Torr, which is a A unit of pressure equivalent to 1 mm of mercury in a barometer and equal to 133.32 pascals. I only bring that up since a lot of people are associating litten's line with mercury in some kind of alchemy theme. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 16:57, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:There's probably a lot of words really similar to 'Torrar' that mean something the same thing. To me, Torrar (which torra can be a form of) is the most direct and likely, so there's no need to list all of them. As for the mercury thing, it's probably better to avoid that until a less speculative connection to it is given. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 17:58, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
::Yes I understand that, but you are listing it as coming from spanish's torrar when the webster dictionary lists Torrefy as coming from latin torrefacere which further comes from the latin word torrēre. Latin is the language modern Romance languages such as spanish evolved from. So torrēre would be the grandfather of Torra, Torrefy, Torrify and all variants within our modern languages. However, since this is the english name we are talking about, it most likely was derived from the English equivalent, Torrefy. Plus from what I am seeing, Torrar is uncommon and is more of a Synonym to Asar/Asado and Tostar. I admit I don't know spanish very well, but most of the translations I get for roast or toast don't even come close to Torrar. I can't really see them using an obscure spanish word for the localization of the Pokémon's name. and Torrefy comes out as the same in english as it does in spanish from what I am finding. So it is more plausible it comes from Torrefy or its latin ancestor Torrēre, than it comes from Torrar. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:09, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
:::I'm disinclined to torrefy for two reasons. One, it's a fairly obscure English word. So claiming that my word is obscure is a weak arguement. Two, it has a pharmacological connotation. Yes, it means to subject to high heat, but typically refer to doing so to create drugs. Not particularly related to Torracat at all. Connotation is just as important as meaning, so I don't see this as particularly like. If anything, I'd be more inclined to the Latin route or to the simple English word torch.

== Solgaleo ==
Uuh, hi. Could you, please, help me? I'm not sure what I should do in this situation.

So, I recently I added the following to Solgaleo's Origin:

* "Its appearance seems to be based on a {{wp|space_suit|space suit}}, particularly some of the {{wp|Apollo_program|Apollo program's}} suits. This might be a reference to {{wp|Apollo}}, the greek and roman god of Sun."

This has been accepted informally by many people, so I added it as a partial origin due to Solgaleo's design. Shortly after, it was removed by some other non-staff members so I went to their pages to talk about it, explain how so, so maybe we could get to an agreement. But I'm afraid they are ignoring me and I really don't want to start some edit war by re-adding it to the page again.

Here's the (most detailed) message I sent to one of them:

:"Sorry, but I strongly disagree. I'll explain my reasoning here.

:Here's two images to help us to compare:
:* http://bit.ly/2gYVlP6

:* http://bit.ly/2gemTvU

:We can see some obvious details in Solgaleo's design; like its paws resembling the suit's gloves and boots, the orange stripes and, of course, its face that is clearly a suit's visor, the most remarkable part in a space suit. It is also pure white, just like the suits, a pretty weird color choice to use on a Pokémon based on a Green alchemical lion. All of it while being a reference to one of the most famous Sun Gods.
:This is further reinforced by the fact both Solgaleo and Astronauts are space related."

I do think it is pretty reasonable but... is it really as farfetched as they think?

If so I'll stop pursuing it.
But I would love your opinion on this since you seemed to be one of the best Origin section researchers from the staff.

[[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 11:02, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:Rather than take it up with a particular user, I would bring it up on Solgaleo's talpage. You're more likely to get a response from more people, and have more opinions there. However, as for my personal opinion:
:It's something that I would be disinclined to include as an origin. Other than Solgaleo being white and having a muscular build, there's very little resemblance. As far as its face being a visor . . . Lunala has the same style, and it is clearly not based on a spacesuit. Additionally, a spacesuit's visor would cover Solgaleo's entire face, not just the upper half. Solgaleo also has less to do with space in general than with the sun specifically. That's not saying it has nothing to do with space, just that its core basis is the sun. As far as it being the Apollo spacesuits in particular, that's also a bit of stretch. It seems more coincidental than intentional. In short, I am in favor of the removal. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 15:04, 10 December 2016 (UTC)

::Oh, ok, I see. I'll use the Talkpages if I see myself in a situation like this again. But... aren't they kinda, dunno, neglected? I've got this feeling it'll probably go unnoticed by most people if brought there. Kinda sad tbh.

:: 'Bout Solgaleo, sure, then it is settled. Coincidence ain't my favorite word tbh; but I guess it's a possibility.

::Oh, btw, could I ask you something completely off-topic? It is about Mewtwo being inspired by Giygas, was it some kind of staff decision? [[User:ExLight|ExLight]] ([[User talk:ExLight|talk]]) 14:51, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Just because something is not responded to on a talkpage, doesn't mean it isn't seen. Typically, things don't get responded to more because there are no strong opinions or support, rather than from 'neglect'.
:::Yes. The removal of Giygas from Mewtwo's origin section followed extensive staff discussion involving the topic. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 18:02, 11 December 2016 (UTC)

== Prime numbers ==

The fact that Sols, luns, and the UBs have prime numbers for their stats and learned levels I feel is notable, particularly because no others have this trait. {{unsigned|99apples}}
:Hi. Please remember to sign your talkpage comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. When a bunch of Pokemon share a trait, for example the boxart legends and the UBs share a trait, it's typically not notable. The only time shared traits is notable is for categories. This particularly trivia is mildly interesting, but not notable. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 09:31, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
::Excuse me, but I just happened to notice this. I feel like this is more a less a prime example of trivia I'd personally like to have/keep, it's like the second best trivia all across Bulbapedia: it's interesting, obviously intended, and easy to miss. I believe it's near Easter Egg level. (And I think the fact that it is shared between that set of Pokémon makes it ''more'' notable, not less.) I understand that I cannot really argue against the trivia policy that de facto is in place (and that you more or less quoted), but maybe we can all use some feelings, or touch, or common sense, whatever you wanna call it, in this case!?

Hey, I've been thinking of implementing something similar that is on the Zelda wiki, citations to add credibility to the encyclopedia.

They would be something [[User:MannedTooth/Template:Cite_manual|like this]] and would look [[User:MannedTooth/Cite_manual_example|like this]] when used.

== How do I report cross wiki vandalism? ==

Hello and good day,

Since you are a high level admin, I wish to know how to report a suspected cross-wiki vandal originating from this site. I suspect a previously banned banned/disgruntled user of Bulbapedia is spreading disinformation/slander regarding a certain Pokémon's origin. What type of documentation/proof should I provide? The reason from my inquiry is the vandal is using the same type of diction/vocabulary to push an agenda out of spite. I witnessed this person vandalise two wiki/sites already but since I am not an authority on Wikis I ask you since Bulbapedia is considered an authority regarding Pokémon. I apologize for the inconvenience I may have caused you, but the intellectual dishonesty of this vandal should not continue unabated.

What Incineroar's Origin should be:
Incineroar and it's coloration is based on a {{wp|tiger}}. As do its colorations. More specifically, a {{wp|black tiger}}. Incineroar's shiny coloration might be based on a white tiger. It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}.

Incineroar should be pretty obviously a portmanteau of incinerate and roar. ガオガエン, or Gaogaen, is probably from gao (to roar) and a corruption of kaen which means flame. --[[User:TheMaskedMeowth|TheMaskedMeowth]] ([[User talk:TheMaskedMeowth|talk]]) 15:04, 27 October 2016 (UTC)

What Incineroar's Origin should be:
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}. It's coloration might also be based on a tiger. since some tigers can have a more "red"-like color. It's possible too it's based on a {{wp|black tiger}}. Them Having a major black pattern like Incineroar does, and also the more red-like color of tigers. Incineroar might also be based on the white of tigers with the "red". Black Tiger's also had several sightings in {{wp|China}}, "many trainers from Kanto and Johto formed Heahea city" Probably bringing them over to Japan(Kanto, Johto), then to Alola but then not being seen again in Japan(Kanto, Johto). It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}.

Hi.

Well, my first Pokémon (excluding a Poké card and toy) was Litten. And I resetted my first game :(
So now I have an Incineroar called Croéna (I'm just horrible at names bear with me).

== Welcoming ==

I noticed that you had copy pasted the welcome template to welcome someone. Yeah, that's not how you're supposed to do it... you have to use this <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> to welcome someone. Please use this next time ok? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:12, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Images ==

I just wanted to make you aware that the staff here prefer .png images instead of .jpg. I'm telling you this cause the image you uploaded of the [[Poké Spot Monitor]] was a .jpg. Just thought I'd let you know so if the file was deleted, you'd know why. :D Also you can upload a new version of a file without uploading an entirely new file. At the bottom of an image page, it should say "Upload a new version of this image" or something of the sort. Using that will save you the hassle of putting in a new file name onto the pages. :3 [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 21:36, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for letting me know. I couldn't figure that one out and the original version was also a jpg as well. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Manga birthdays in trivia ==

You can't remove something because "It is already in the infobox". The infobox is a supplement to the article. It helps summarize it in a way. It should NOT be a replacement for information in the article. An article with '''1 sentence''' and a '''full infobox''' would be worse then an article with a '''full paragraph''' of information that can all be found in the infobox and '''a picture'''. Hope you understand. Thanks, '''[[User:Blake|Blake]]''' [[User talk:Blake#top|Talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/Blake|Edits]] 17:54, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:Well that helps a bit. Still alright to go through articles and change the "Name" part at bottom to "In other languages" correct?[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:40, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
::Only if the section doesn't include the English and Japanese names. Those two don't count as "other" languages. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:44, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Will do then, can't wait to hopefully be autoconfirmed soon as well. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:45, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

== Page deletion ==

Removing the content from a page doesn't delete it. Only admins can delete pages. To let us know that a page needs deletion, please add <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the top of it. This automatically adds it to [[:Category:Pages to be deleted]], while still allowing us to view the content of the page without having to search through the history. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:56, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for informing me of this. Will keep it in mind for future pages. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 16:14, 18 July 2011 (UTC)
: Yea, I know. Right when I think it's correct it turns out the link is still incorrect. I still preview things for most part. Thanks for telling me this though. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]]

== Removing sections ==

Just because a large chunk of text is removed, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a bad thing. Please do not revert i back without a rebuttal to the information that was provided for the initial removal. It was already explained that those weren't mistakes because the animators used more specific source material than normal--[[User:SandmanDP|SandmanDP]] 23:57, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

Hey, please make a habit of using the [[LLT|Link templates]]. They're there to make linking to specific pages easier. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=The_Art_Of_Pok%C3%A9mon_The_First_Movie&diff=1603387&oldid=1603193 I'd prefer not to have to do this again.] Also, make sure you're spelling a Pokémon's name correctly. You misspelled Marill throughout that entire article. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
:Alright then. I shall make sure to do that in the future. Sorry about doing that. Also sorry about misspelling Marill's name constantly too. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 13:04, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trivia Question ==

Hello there fellow Bulbapedian.
I see you haven't answered my e-mail so I'm just going to write you here.
Well why do you say that the trivia I wrote on [[AG159]] isn't trivia material ?
It isn't common for Team Rocket to blast such different,is it?
--'''DJWolfy'''. 13:57, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
: As far as trivia gos, I don't really see how it is important enough to go there. Then again I'm mostly collecting the cards, some books, and just playing the games. I really should consider watching the show more often though. If you feel it is important then feel free to add it again. If a sysop/admin removes it though, don't re-add it as that just results in edit wars clogging up recent changes. Have a great day. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:04, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

::Thought so.Well, no Admin objected so far,so I think it is a great material for Trivia.Thank you!--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 14:04, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
:::No problem. Feel free to ask stuff if you have more questions. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:21, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

::::Btw,I like that Pokébox at the bottom of your userpage.I don't know if it is or not your personal creation so I am asking you if I could use a modified version of it on my userpage ? --[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 22:50, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
::::: I didn't make it personally but I remember seeing someone else at the time when I put it on my page using it. The row sizes were a little smaller though. Instead of my current size for each row, they had it at 8. I liked it so I put it on my page. Feel free to put it on your page and modify it if you wish. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 22:53, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

== Notes about the TCG templates ==

Where to start. The links for the Trainer cards you were adding were incorrect. First off, they are fine the way they are. However, if you were to change them, you'd need to change the TCG Template to the TCG ID template, and also add the number to the end of the template. <nowiki>{{TCG ID|Rising Rivals|Bebe's Search|89}}</nowiki>. The link has to link to the redirect of the most appropriate release for that card. A deck from 2005 can't be using a 2011 release of Rare Candy, now can it? No. That's why the links are the way they are. Additionally, I think the reason your link to {{TCG|Stormfront}} wasn't working was because you were trying to spell it "StormFront"? None of the sets are CamelCase.

{{TCG|Mother Flygon}} has the outdated template for a separate reason. It's a deck archetype, which are outdated because of how the formats and set rotations work in the TCG. When you add the template to Theme Decks, you need to specify the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mind_Machine_%28TCG%29&action=historysubmit&diff=1605834&oldid=1605814 type of Trainer card the cards are]. Also, if you do the GB Decks, use the template used on {{TCG|Great Quake Deck}}, not the one for theme decks. They are different. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:01, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
: Ah, that makes more sense to me. I saw them and didn't add a number as they were lacking them originally. As for Stormfront, I spelled it as Stormfront and still got a red link, not sure why it was doing so. Alright then, will be sure to do the decks from the Pokemon GBC game in that format. Thanks for showing me what went wrong with editing. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 20:05, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
::Thought I would ask before editing the pages. If I use the Great Quake Deck as a base template for the other decks in that game then the level part is no longer necessary is it? [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:20, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
:::Correct. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 07:27, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

== Thanks! ==

Thanks!I'm not good at making paragraphs.Btw,Pokémon must always start with capital letter?--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:25, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
:Paragraph writing is easy. Just make sure to try writing them like this.And not like this. When starting a new sentence, hit the space button then write so the words and all aren't scrunched together. As for paragraphing. I try to keep count of how many I've written so far. When I get 6-7 written. I hit enter twice and start a new paragraph so it won't end up as a wall of text. Lastly, yea, Pokémon is always capitalized. Hope that helps. :-) [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 15:32, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

::It sure does,thanks!--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 20:06, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

:::Gee,we should make a team :p. I complete synopsis while you correct and paragraph them. Anyways thanks for the minor correction. Although I found the original word was in this context "then they are mistaken for".--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 21:38, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
::::Haha, maybe but I have better things to do than trying to fix mistakes all day. Going to go back to updating TCG deck pages now. Fun time. :-) Nice signature too, might try to make my own sometime when I give my user page a new look or something. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 21:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

== Obvious ==

That's pretty obvious,plus it's the same for almost all legendaries.
ex: normal and shiny [[legendary beasts|beasts]], Lugia and her baby, regis in M09 and brandon's regis etc. so I don't really see the point in keeping it. Plus the other "in the anime" section of other legendaries don't mention the game thing.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:39, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
: I left it since in the movie it was shown to be able to breed. The only other legendary Pokémon I've seen capable of breeding or more than one of is Lugia, Regis, Celebi, Mew, and Deoxys. Don't think I've seen any of the other legendaries having more than one of themselves especially Mewtwo who is a one of ak ind along with others. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:42, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::Yeah,that's why I said for almost all. Of course you won't see Arceus twice cause it's the original one or mewtwo since it is itself a human creation. But usually 580-600 stat legendaries are more than one. That's why I think it isn't necessary for "the game" thing to be on Latias' page. Also the same thing it is already mentioned on their page "In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of each legendary Pokémon, but in the anime, there is more than one of most legendary Pokémon. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the player to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter." {{unsigned|DJWolfy}}
:::I see now, kind of strayed away from what you were saying. I'll fix that up on that page then real quickly. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 15:51, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Don't worry,took care of it already.--[[User:DJWolfy|--'''DJ''']][[User talk:DJWolfy|'''Wolfy''']] 15:53, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

== M1 talk page undo ==

The Talk page policy states not to respond to messages older than 6 months UNLESS you have valid reason to do so. I had a valid reason to revive the discussion. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 18:07, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Generally old comments over six months old should not be revived, however, if there is a legitimate reason to bring it up again, please do so. '' From the FAQ. Having watched the movie myself a couple of weeks back, he felt this his clones were much better and was going to clone all the Pokémon currently there and storm the world with the clones. You can disagree if you wish though, not saying I'm absolutely right but I feel that's what he was up to when he did what he did in the first movie. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::I have it stored on my pc in flv format and saw it today.

::After Ash's Charizard was defeated, Mewtwo materialized 3 of his clone balls saying "As the victor, I now claim my prize, your Pokémon!" He then captures Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in that order. Misty asks "What are you going to do with those Pokémon!?" Mewtwo responds "I will extract their DNA to make clones for myself! They will remain safe on this island with me, while my storm destroys the planet" This is before he materialized more clone balls and Psychic Ash into Brock. He then sends the swarm after everyone as ash and the others try to make a break for it.

::Although Mewtwo hadn't cloned Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker or Bruteroot in that instance, he made it clear he planned to later as far as the English dub is concerned. That is what I relayed in the revival comment. Plus I'm not the only one to post on it way after 6 months.

:::Hmm.. I guess I should watch it again to confirm it. I've been busy playing White lately and not much else sadly. And yes, I noticed that right after I reverted it. :( ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:56, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::::Theoretically, Mewtwo would also need the extra DNA from Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot to sustain a healthy population of his clones. While where he obtained the genetics for the first Charizardtwo, Blastoisetwo and Venusaurtwo is speculation, most agree it was somehow from Charmandertwo, Squirtletwo and Bulbasaurtwo, despite them dying & Mewtwo destroying the lab and any possible surviving genetic samples directly or indirectly. In any case, while he successfully cloned them, even somehow evolved them, it was indicated that there were many problems during the first cloning procedures/processes because the kept dying. This leads the viewer to believe there is some kind of genetic defect to cause this deterioration. Plus out of all the clones, these three had the most drastically different markings which are also speculated to be from defects in the genetics. So no mater what, its a good bet Mewtwo needed and would use the DNA sooner if not later. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 19:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I see what you are saying there. However did it look like he was using the stuff right away and the clones looked close to perfect so maybe he made a near perfected system from the rubble he left on the island after destroying it. That and they were shown to be able to breed in the second movie that he was in, albeit they were in final forms or current stage of their evolution line rather than starter/baby forms. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 19:30, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::Unfortunately Ash destroyed the machine before anything else was crested. The last clones were just barely out of incubation before everything blew up. We have to go by Mewtwo's actions of capturing Ash's Charizard, Shellshocker and Bruteroot in the first place to indicate his future plans for them and their genetics. Mewtwo is theatrical, but I doubt he'd just capture three Pokémon for their genetics for no reason. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] 20:02, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

== Edit on Indigo League page ==

I found a similar piece of work on the Johto League trivia section and I saw that the opposite applied to the Kanto League gym leaders so I thought I'd edit the Kanto League page as well. Was there a problem? [[User:Arceus101|Arceus101]] 22:19, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
:Saying all the gym leaders have a type disadvantage to the next one. By this I would assume that the next gym leader has a type that is super-effective to the previous gym leader except Brock as there is no gym leader battled before him. A couple of them said resistant, not really the same sound to me as the previous gym leader being weak to the next one.

== Move descriptions ==

Hi, I realize you're not really part of any Bulbapedia project, but since you seem to be working the descriptions for the 3D games, could you also point me to moves that are missing descriptions from the main series games (specifically GSC, RSE, and DPPt)?

== Walkthrough Rival Boxes ==

I noticed you adjusted the formatting on the Rival's Pokémon boxes on [[Appendix:Emerald_walkthrough/Section_4#Route_110|Emerald Walkthrough (Section 4)]] a few days ago. According to the [[Bulbapedia:Project_Walkthroughs#The_rival|Project Walkthroughs]] page, formatting on Rivals' Pokémon should be ''horizontal'', not ''vertical'', even though it extends out beyond the screen.

Sorry, but how is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Registeel_(Pokémon)&curid=2649&diff=1700623&oldid=1700622 the previous revision "better worded"]? Contractions are informal and shouldn't be used in formal writing such as the Bulbapedia mainspace. I can understand the repetition of "the legendary golems" not being quite optimal (although something other than the super-informal "Regis" still needs to be used), but there was no need to revert the contractions back in, was there? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 23:52, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, as I was taught, informal language is text speaking or how one would talk to another on a cell phone usually spelling things incorrectly. Regis is also formal since the Regis are called, legendary golems, Regi trio, or simply Regis. If the contraction was something like ''they'll'' or ''ain't'' I could understand since those would be informal. As it is, ''it's'' is quite common to use and very formal. Hope that helps you understand a little bit. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 23:58, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
::If you insist, I'll let it go your way, but I'm afraid I have to respectfully disagree for the moment. I've always been taught that no contractions are ''ever'' considered formal - I've even seen "it's" -> "it is" used in examples in textbooks [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONTRACTIONS and even Wikipedia]. (As for "Regis", as fanon-y as that term sounds, our own article apparently uses it, so I guess I have to grin and bear it. I won't mention it again.)

== TCG move errors. ==

It's rather not good idea listing moves that didn't exist yet. For example, few {{p|Ampharos}} cards had Bolt Strike if I remember (but under different English name) on them. Didn't add that, the move wasn't in games until three generations and almost eleven years later{{tt|*|Confusion translated as Psyshock is another story, though.}} - I also fixed table (there was redundant |- everywhere). [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 15:37, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
:I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Whitney%27s_Lickitung_%28VS_17%29&diff=1867653&oldid=1867375 had just removed this trivia] not more than six hours before you added it again.
:Furthermore, our database is not ready to be doing [[TCG move errors|this page]], and I'm rather disappointed and annoyed that no one decided to contact the {{u|Maverick Nate|Head of TCG}} before attempting this page to make sure we were ready, or if plans weren't already being done. Any work on it right now is futile, because not all the card pages even exist, let alone have correct information regarding the cards' moves. There are several things that needed to happen before this page could have been started correctly. 1) A more appropriate table needed to be created. 2) All the origin sections needed to be double checked to remove speculation and false information. 3) TCG sections for all moves, abilities, Warrior skills, etc needed to be created (which can't even be completed until Bulbapedia's search gets repaired). 4) [[Error cards]] need to be researched and a system for classifying errors needs to be developed. After these four things are finished, then we would have been able to start work on [[TCG move errors]]. This page is not going to exist in the end. It is going to be an extremely condensed sub section of the Error cards page. Next time you try to work on such an extremely large TCG undertaking, please ''talk'' to me so that we can at least develop a system for 100% completion and accuracy, because I don't like having to undo someone's work everytime you decided to add an inappropriate trivia: like [[Whitney's Lickitung (VS 17)|this Pokémon]] knowing {{m|Lick}} (したでなめる) when it actually knows Lick (なめる), or {{TCG ID|Vending|Pidgeotto|S3}} knowing {{m|Twister}} (たつまき) when it actually knows Twister (ツイスター), OR {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Brock's Golbat|39}} knowing {{m|Dive}} (ダイビング) when it actually knows "Dive" (スピードひこう) (later translated as Speed Dive). The inappropriate trivias will only exist simply because there is a rift between accuracy, what needs to be said, and what exactly is going on with the cards
:There are a lot of things that needed to happen first, specifically with finalizing what needs to be said in each card's origin section. Talk to me first next time, so that we can work on things ''together''. It's hard for me to keep track of 8000 cards when tons of people decide to do their own thing without talking to me at all. I apologize if I sound a bit harsh: I'm just highly disappointed, and want everything to be as great as possible, which I just don't think is possible with this page at this moment based on the state in which the rest of our TCG database is.

::Did not realize it was that big of an error on my part creating the page.
::First, the only reason I had |- in between card entries was to make it easier to see where one card began and ended at. Aside from that, they served no other purpose.

::As for the TCG Error page being created. I started that one upon noticing that the Error moves template {{template|Move errors}} had a red link for the TCG link. I didn't think there was any harm in adding the page at the time. As for fixing up the template being used on that page as a whole, I would be more than happy to wait on that to happen before working on the page again. Also if it is only meant to be a sub section of the [[Error cards|error cards]] page then I have no problem with going through and removing the images themselves so they consume less space on the page. As for taking it up with you (Head of TCG) next time, I will be more than happy to do so.

::Lastly,
::1. What kind of table would be appropriate in this case?
::2. Removing false information and speculation, I will do my best in regards to both of those.
::3. I can understand the first part. My question, how is the search broken at the moment? Not doubting you, just curious as to how it's broken.
::4. Understood.

== Redlinks ==

Do NOT. I repeat, do NOT remove redlinks to pages that should actually exist, no matter what space they are linked from. Just because a page is linked to from a talk page does not mean it is suddenly not notable enough to be put on the wanted pages. There are multiple times that users are discussing pages that should be created and link to them appropriately. Assess what the subject actually is before blindly removing links based on where they are coming from. Redlinks should exist due to '''content''', not '''location'''.

'''Miltank''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミルタンク''' ''Miltank'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Tauros}}.

==Biology==
Miltank is a bipedal, bovine Pokémon, which can only be female. Its body is mostly pink, with a yellow belly and black, angular markings along its back. A black hood-like marking surrounds its face with a pink, triangular mark on its forehead. There are two small horns on top of its head. It has large, blue eyes, a black nose, and a wide mouth, as well as long, black, floppy ears with yellow insides. Miltank has a yellow udder with four pink teats. All four of its limbs end in black, cloven hooves, and its long tail is tipped with a black sphere. In ''[[SM070|The Young Flame Strikes Back!]]'', a smaller Miltank was shown without any horns or teats, implying that this is what young Miltank look like.

Until [[Generation VI]], Miltank was the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that could learn {{m|Milk Drink}}. The milk that it produces is sweet and very nutritious, and can be used to [[Drink#Moomoo Milk|heal Pokémon]] and ill or weary humans. Drinking a large amount of Miltank milk will cause an animal or person to gain weight. The taste and nutrition of its milk improves with the quality of the pastures it lives in. It can produce over five gallons of milk per day, which in turn can be turned into yogurt or enjoyed unchanged by children and adults alike. Miltank lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, and is also raised on farms.

==Trivia==
* Miltank can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Tauros}}. Both are bovine-like Pokémon with the same base stat total. While Miltank is a female-only species, Tauros is a male-only species.
** Despite not being associated with a certain group, both Miltank and Tauros are listed in the same [[Pokédex]] page in {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. The same trait is true with {{p|Oranguru}} and {{p|Passimian}}.
* Miltank's Silver and FireRed Pokédex entries imply that Miltank gives live birth like real-world mammals, despite the fact that Pokémon reproduce via {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

===Origin===
Miltank is based on {{wp|Dairy cattle|dairy cows}}. It shares some traits mainly with {{wp|Jersey cattle}} and {{wp|Holstein Friesian cattle}}.

====Name origin====
Miltank is a combination of ''{{wp|milk}}'' and ''tank'' (a storage container for liquid). ''Tank'' may also refer to its tank-like defense stats.

Please don't change anything on this page even if something is wrong. Thank you.

What Incineroar's Origin should be:
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}. It's coloration might also be based on a tiger. since some tigers can have a more "red"-like color. It's possible too it's based on a {{wp|black tiger}}. Them Having a major black pattern like Incineroar does, and also the more red-like color of tigers. Incineroar might also be based on the white of tigers with the "red". Black Tiger's also had several sightings in {{wp|China}}, "many trainers from Kanto and Johto formed Heahea city" Probably bringing them over to Japan(Kanto, Johto), then to Alola but then not being seen again in Japan(Kanto, Johto). It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}.

Hi.

Well, my first Pokémon (excluding a Poké card and toy) was Litten. And I resetted my first game :(
So now I have an Incineroar called Croéna (I'm just horrible at names bear with me).

== Two things ==

#If you archive a user talk page, please add a link to the archived page somewhere at the top of the page, so other users could access it easier.
#I noticed you did four edits to a subpage of your userspace. Instead, be sure to preview your edits so you can catch errors. That way, you can reduce the amount of consecutive edits.

Thanks! [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 21:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:1. Okay, will do. How would I get to an archive?
:2. I did use preview. The first three edits I didn't want to do all at once, and the fourth was adding something I didn't know about when I was editing (the candidates for mainspace thing). I do try to use the preview feature. ----[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 21:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Welcomes ==

FYI, we usually don't welcome users who haven't made any contributions. There are many accounts created on BP that never make any edits.

(Also, you need to add a link to the old talk page you archived at the top of this page, like Berrenta said above.)

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:Okay, thanks for telling me. But like I asked Berrenta, how would I get to the archive? I don't remember the link I put it at. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
::Your archive is [[User talk:Celadonkey/Archive]]. I know, it's sometimes hard to find things once you've moved them :) For future reference, if you start typing in the search bar, it'll give you a drop down with suggestions, that's how I found your archive--just started typing "User talk:Celadonkey" and it popped up :) '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 00:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
:::You could also see it right in this page's history. Or you could even check your own contributions (up near the "log out" link). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Done! Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 15:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

== Trivia edits ==

Hey so uh idk how else to talk to you so I hope this is ok??
Anyway regarding Trivia, actually yeah I read the page you posted (Trivia Policy) and as I've been looking at the highest stats( for each type) the other day, I noticed there are more than 2 way ties sometimes, so I edited those out.
However I wanted to ask (I assume you're not a Trivia mod or anything but still) - when it comes to the Shuckle/Mega Steelix/Mega Aggron tie with Defense, it's the highest Defense of '''all Pokemon''', is that notable enough or not? I'd leave it on Shuckle's page, because it mentions its extreme stat distribution, but idk about the other two... thanks for help. [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 20:30, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not a mod at all, lol. I don't even think I've been a member for a year! (although I have been using Bulbapedia since at least 2008 for info) the trivia policy page isn't mine, it's forcefire's.

:Honestly having something on Shuckle's page seems fine as long as you mention "non-mega evolved". --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::Just poking my head in here, staff members such as Tiddlywinks regularly remove highest-stat-trivia that mention "non-Mega Evolved" because making exceptions/clarifications like that make it unnotable. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:51, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Huh, didn't know that. I thought it did the opposite. Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:01, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the comment, I mean with Shuckle I think it should stay because it's out of all Pokemon+Shuckle's Trivia talks about extremity of its stat distribution, but guess it should be edited out of Steelix and Aggron articles. I'm going ahead and deleting them until someone comes along and decides something else.
::::(Also, regarding non-Megas; Arceus's Defense still stays lmao...) [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:07, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::::Just stepping in, ties for the '''highest base stat''' or '''highest bst''' are '''notable'''. Other ties are not notable, however.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
:::::(Edit) This goes for lowest base stats and lowest bst as well.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

==Hey Celadonkey==

I dont understand much of how to reply and stuff, so here is my reply, putting this on your page

Just a reply to your answer, I dont see any way to add a language on the side, just the ones that are there. Please help? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:Well, first of all, some talk page etiquette: Always sign your messages with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Pressing enter five times in order to make a space between lines takes up a lot of room; one space between lines will do.

:Second of all, Bulbapedia is an English wiki. It is affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages, such as PokeWiki in German, Pokepedia in French, or 52Poke in Chinese. If you want to edit in a different languages, I'd go to those wikis. If you want to add a link on a Bulbapedia article to a corresponding article in, say, French, what you'd do is put <nowiki>[[fr:(the name of the French article here)]]</nowiki> at the bottom of the Bulbapedia article.

:I hope I answered your question. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:24, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::But what I mean is a totally new language, which isnt there a.k.a Norwegian, my native tounge.

::Sooo what can I do? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::First of all, good job with the spacing, but remember to put four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) after you've finished your comment. This makes a signature. Also, make sure to add colons before your comments. I added some for you, you can look in the code to see what I mean. You should add one more colon than the person before you did.

:::To make a new wiki in a completely new language is outside of Bulbapedia's powers. As I said, Bulbapedia is "affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages". This means the people who operate Bulbapedia do not also operate foreign Pokemon wikis. To make a new wiki, you'd have to set up your own server, and set everything up there, and then contact Bulbapedia to see if you can affiliate with the owners. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Side note: I see you've added Magearna's Norwegian name, and that's awesome. If you could add the Norwegian name for as many Pokemon as possible, that would be great, and I'm sure Bulbapedia would really appreciate it. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:33, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

== Removing the one at Mega Evolving ==

Yes, I talked specific about Sun and Moon, as its the only game I know how to obtain these things, and others could've added the X and Y version and fixed that, instead, you removed the whole thing, please.

I even copied the whole thing

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] you can obtain a [[Key Stone]] and a [[Alakazite]] by going to [[Vast Poni Canyon]] and then walking on the path to the [[Battle Tree]] There you will be greeted by [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]].[[Dexio]] tells you about the mega stone, and challenges you to a battle. He will have these pokemon,at level 61, an [[Espeon]], an [[Alolan Raichu]], a [[Slowking]], an [[Metagross]] and an [[Alakazam]] holding an [[Alakazite]], and [[Dexio]] mega evolves [[Alakazam]] into an [[Mega Alakazam]], and if you beat [[Dexio]], he gives you both items, and you are free to continue to the [[Battle Tree]] where you can buy various [[Mega Stones]] for BattlePoints (BP)

yes i did.

Soooooooo, can you readd it please?

[[User:Adrizz|Adrizz]] ([[User talk:Adrizz|talk]]) 21:11, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, I read it. The reason I undid it is because this is the type of thing you'd find in a walkthrough. Maybe a more concise, less detailed version could be added elsewhere on the page, but this is way too specific and in the wrong place.

:A lot of things that you write will be undone. A lot of things I've added have been undone. After some time, you will get a grasp on the type of style and information Bulbapedia strives for. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::Hey, I just added a summary for X and Y, as I found a video online how to, and then just read this, could you reedit it to fit more what you mean? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::Thanks for checking in. After some careful thought, I decided that this belongs at the Key Stone article, because it's about obtaining the ability to Mega Evolve, not the process of Mega Evolution itself, but... It's already there. Sorry :C --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:47, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Oh.. Well, Im new to atchually wiki editing. Im not known that that part belongs there and then I think its that place and blah blah blah. Well, its just a noobish dude trying to help, (thats me)

::::Well, anyways, I gotta go soon, so bye!

Please do not edit talk page comments, even your own, to fix any errors. Just leave them be. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:04, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
:Alright. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 11:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

== Category linking ==

Just a tip, when linking directly to category pages, use either {{template|cat}} or a colon before "Category" (eg. <nowiki>[[:Category: X]]</nowiki>). Linking categories like any other namespace just adds the page to the category instead of creating an actual link.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:11, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
:Woah, that's bad! I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 23:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

== Location names ==

As a rule, I would ask that you not change text in item location descriptions based on the guidebook's names. Oftentimes, your change turns the description from something immediately useful to something completely opaque unless people realize they have to look elsewhere on the page as well. And those descriptions should be as helpful as possible without asking people to go back and forth on the page.

Can you also tell me whether any of these area names are used outside of captions? I'm wondering if these are really capitalized names or if they might only be in title case because of the context you're taking it from (and sentence case could be the proper default).

:::Yeah, me too. I kind of wish (read: I very much wish) that we could just start putting stuff in the mainspace slowly rather than all at once, because then more activity would be spurred, but until then, I will just occasionally work on my stuff. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 03:33, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

== Oh, uhh.. 'Bout the Xerneas and forces of natures ==

I had no idea why I even edited that right after I found it in the sandbox thing.
Maybe because the other ones seemed legit :/

'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mahoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Braixen}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

==Biology==
Delphox is a relatively tall bipedal Pokémon resembling a fox. It is covered in a coat of fur that resembles a robe; this "robe" is primarily dark red, with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees, as well as a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. It has three tufts of red-orange fur protruding out of each ear. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe". When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand; when in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its "wand" to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit. Prior to Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Delphox was the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Mystical Fire}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Aria Delphox.png|thumb|left|220px|Delphox in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Aria's Delphox]]====
{{an|Aria}}'s Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox sometime before ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. It is her main Pokémon, and it helped her keep the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} with its performance in the {{ci|Gloire}} {{pkmn|Showcase}} Master Class.

====Other====
Delphox debuted in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Wylie]]. It was sent out to battle {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in order to settle a quarrel with {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}}, but the battle ultimately ended in a draw.

A Delphox appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It was her main Pokémon, used to assist her in her thievery.

[[Serena's Braixen]] appeared as Delphox in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Delphox appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when it evolved from {{p|Fennekin}} and {{p|Braixen}}.

===In the movie adaptations===
[[Merilyn]] owns a Delphox in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}''.
{{sectionstub}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Malva's Delphox}}
After {{adv|Trevor}} lost the {{p|Fennekin}} he was given from [[Professor Sycamore]], she was taken by [[Malva]] after finding her Poké Ball put into box filled with other Pokémon gathered from [[Vaniville Town]]. After some time, she evolved into a {{p|Braixen}}. Prior to ''[[PAXY34|Charizard Transforms]]'', she evolved into a Delphox. Due to the absence of a third [[Kalos]]-centered [[core series]] game, Delphox became the first fully-evolved starter to be owned by an antagonist in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

==Trivia==
* Delphox has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all fully evolved starter Pokémon.
* Delphox and its {{p|Fennekin|evolutionary}} {{p|Braixen|relatives}} share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Ninetales}}. They are all known as the Fox Pokémon.

===Origin===
Delphox is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> likely the {{wp|fennec fox}}. It is also likely based on the {{wp|Asian witchcraft#Japan|kitsune-mochi}}, witches in Japanese folklore who inherit their magical powers from foxes; as well as {{wp|Witchcraft|witches}} and {{wp|Magic (supernatural)#Magicians|mages}} in general. Delphox's robe-like fur and use of a wand-like branch likely derive from mages as well, while its prophetic abilities may derive from {{wp|oracles}}. The down laying fur on Delphox's arm might be based on a {{wp|Kimono}}

====Name origin====
Delphox may be a combination of ''{{wp|Pythia|Delphic oracle}}'' and ''fox''.

Mahoxy is a combination of 魔導師 ''madōshi'' (mage), 魔法 ''mahō'' (magic), and ''foxy''.

Hi, so, what should I do here?

Well, my first Pokémon (excluding a Poké card and toy) was Litten. And I resetted my first game :(
So now I have an Incineroar called Croéna (I'm just horrible at names bear with me).

'''Xerneas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼルネアス''' ''Xerneas'') is a {{type|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Along with {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Froakie}}, and {{p|Yveltal}}, it was the first [[Generation VI]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on January 8, 2013 as part of the {{DL|Nintendo Direct|Pokémon Direct}} broadcast.

Xerneas is the [[game mascot]] of {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, appearing on the boxart. It is a member of the [[aura trio]] with {{p|Yveltal}} and {{p|Zygarde}}.

Xerneas created the [[Forces of Nature]]

==Biology==
[[File:Xerneas Tree.png|thumb|left|200px|Xerneas in its tree form]]
Xerneas is a blue and black, quadrupedal, stag-like cervine Pokémon with an eight-horned set of antlers extending out from its head, four on each side. Xerneas's coloration changes slightly depending on what mode it is in: Active Mode or Neutral Mode. In Active Mode, each horn is pale gold and adorned with a colorful, three-part glowing protrusion twining through the horn (orange, red, purple, and teal-blue), one side mirroring the other. The colors gradually turn lighter to darker when moving from base to tip. In Neutral Mode, the horns are pale blue and the protrusions the same blue as its upper body. Xerneas's head is blue with two horns on either side of its head, and the root of its horns mark its face, just below the eye and over the nose. Its eyes are the same color as its fur, and its pupils are X-shaped. The blue portion of its body ends at the chest area where the "fur" juts outward to the side, similar to the blue horns on its face. On its breast is an inverted V-shape that is also pale gold in Active Mode and pale blue in Neutral Mode. The inside of the V-shape is black and extends into its lower body.

The rest of its body is black with a blue stripe running along its spine; when it is in Active Mode, the shine from its horns decorate its back in small, multicolored spots. It has a slim, fluffy black tail where the blue stripe ends. Its legs are fashioned like blades with forward-pointing "hooks" at the tips, creating a cross shape, with the main "edges" trimmed with the same color as the horns (pale gold in Active Mode, pale blue in Neutral Mode); the trim on its forelegs further map a crude sword-like pattern: a long blade, a cross-guard, and a hilt.

Xerneas has the power to share eternal life; this occurs as the horns on its head shine in seven colors. When Xerneas is at the end of its life, it releases all of its life energy into all the living things in around it and transforms into a tree to sleep for 1,000 years. Xerneas also has the power to create forests, making Xerneas a benevolent force in nature. Xerneas is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Geomancy}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Neutral Xerneas anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Xerneas in its Neutral Mode in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Xerneas anime.png|thumb|250px|Xerneas in its Active Mode in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Xerneas (M17)]]====
Xerneas debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. It granted {{an|Diancie}} its {{a|Fairy Aura}}, which Diancie was looking for. Later, it calmed down the awakened {{OBP|Yveltal|M17}} and restored everything that Yveltal petrified. As a result, Xerneas transformed into a tree.

====Other====
Xerneas made its main series debut as a silhouette in ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]''. However, its antlers could clearly be seen. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY042|Battling into the Hall of Fame!]]''.

A Xerneas appeared in ''[[SS036|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where {{OBP|Jan|SS036}} asked for its help after {{p|Yveltal}} caused trouble upon his kingdom, including turning [[Aila]] to stone. Though it restored many of the damage Yveltal inflicted, it could not revive Aila, and thus left.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
[[File:Y Xerxer.png|thumb|150px|Xerneas in Active Mode in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Xerxer Neutral Mode.png|thumb|left|170px|Xerneas in Neutral Mode in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Xerxer tree form.png|thumb|150px|Xerneas in its tree form in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the movie adaptations===
{{main|Xerneas (M17)}}
Xerneas appears in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of the first {{series|XY}} {{pkmn|movie}}, ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''.

===In the Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY! manga===
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] used a Xerneas in Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Xerxer}}
Xerneas debuted in ''[[PAXY01|An X-cuse to Come Out and Play]]'', alongside Yveltal. The two faced each other in a battle, which caused chaos and destruction in [[Vaniville Town]]. The two eventually stopped fighting and returned to their dormant tree and cocoon states, which were sought after by [[Team Flare]] to power the [[ultimate weapon]]. Later Xerneas awakened and took back most of the energy that had been absorbed from it. Afterwards, it was befriended and caught by {{adv|Y}}, who [[nickname]]d it Xerxer. When [[Malva]] arrived and revealed that she had captured Yveltal, the two nearly clashed again before [[Xerosic]] stopped them, stating that [[Lysandre]] ordered a ceasefire, as the powers of the two would cause an endless war. Xerxer agreed with this and escaped carrying Y and her friends. During the final battle against Team Flare, Xerxer and Yveltal clashed again, and eventually chose to return to their dormant states in order to prevent Lysandre from using {{adv|Zygarde}} to his own deeds.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Xerneas SSB4 3DS.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]]]
[[File:Xerneas SSB4.png|220px|thumb|Xerneas in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Xerneas appears as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. In the 3DS version, it is unlocked after playing Target Blast at least once, while in the Wii U version, it is unlocked by breaking at least 200 blocks in a solo game of Trophy Rush as {{SSB|Pikachu}}. When released, it uses {{m|Geomancy}} to energize nearby fighters, giving their attacks stronger knockback for a time or giving them stronger defenses.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''':''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Fairy-type Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. It emanates energy with a move called Geomancy that causes all the fighters to glow. As pretty as it is, this makes everyone more easily launchable. Know when to take advantage and when to lay low.''

'''PAL''': ''The horns on Xerneas's head give this Pokémon the power to bestow eternal life. When summoned in a match, energy will emanate from it and make all fighters glow. Pretty it may be, but this Geomancy move makes everyone much easier to launch. Knowing that, will you take advantage of the situation, or try to stay out of the way? ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Xerneas returns as a Poké Ball summon, but it seems to only affect the summoner, who is turned golden. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Xerneas has the same stat distribution as {{p|Yveltal}}.
* Xerneas, along with Yveltal, was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Yusuke Ohmura]]. Initial design for the two Legendary Pokémon was started by Sugimori, but he encountered "[[wp:Writer's block|artist's block]]". For the first time, he handed the work over to another designer, Ohmura, who furthered the designs, after which Sugimori returned to finish them.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20141031160627/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55616/ken-sugimori-got-artists-block-during-pokemon-x-and-y-development/ Ken Sugimori got 'artist's block' during Pokemon X and Y development]. Official Nintendo Magazine. Published 24 October 2013.</ref>
* Xerneas is the only [[game mascot]] whose [[signature move]] is a [[status move]].
* Xerneas is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Fairy-type Pokémon.
* Xerneas's Neutral Mode has no special animations that play in the Hoenn Pokédex, but it plays Active Mode's attack animations if tapped on in the Pokémon summary screen.
* When a {{pkmn2|Shiny}} Xerneas is obtained by event, its model on the Mystery Gift screen is incomplete. It appears in its Active Mode, except the multicolored additions to its horns are either missing or the same blue color as on its neck.

===Origin===
Xerneas's appearance is based on a cervid (more specifically the extinct species {{wp|Eucladoceros}}) in the shape of the letter {{wp|X}} (known as a {{wp|saltire}} in heraldry) or an {{wp|X mark}}.

Additionally, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Eikþyrnir}} and the four stags {{wp|Dáinn, Dvalinn, Duneyrr and Duraþrór}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}. Eikþyrnir resides in {{wp|Valhalla}} eating the foliage of {{wp|Læraðr}} with glowing horns that drip with dew. According to the ''{{wp|Poetic Edda}}'', the four stags resided in the trunk of the World Tree {{wp|Yggdrasil}} and ate its branches and fresh shoots.

Alternately, Xerneas may be based on {{wp|Cernunnos}} of {{wp|Celtic mythology}}, a life-giving deity known as the ''horned god'' and associated with antlers.

====Name origin====
Xerneas comes from the letter {{wp|X}}. It may be derived from ''cervus'' (Latin for deer), ''{{wp|Cernunnos}}'' (a horned Celtic god), and ''{{wp|Ceryneian Hind}}''.

'''Chatot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペラップ''' ''Perap'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Chatot is an avian Pokémon similar to a parakeet. Its head is black and resembles an {{wp|eighth note}}, while its black tail resembles a {{wp|metronome}}. It plumage is brightly colored with blue wings, a yellow chest and feet, a green stomach, and a pink, hooked beak and eyelids. Additionally, there is a ruff of white feathers around its neck. This Pokémon's tongue is similar to a human's, allowing it to imitate human speech. Chatot is also able to mimic the cries of other Pokémon, and uses this ability as a defense mechanism. Chatot uses the sounds it has learned and arranges them into its own melody, and flicks its tail to keep rhythm. Chatot is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Chatter}}.

==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Chatot is the only Pokémon whose cry is not altered when it faints or is sent out with a status condition.
* Despite having significantly higher Special Attack and Speed stats, Chatot awards EV points in Attack.
* In [[Generation IV]], a person in [[Eterna City]] will trade a Chatot in return for a {{p|Buizel}}, and the Chatot's nickname is Charap, a mixture of its English and Japanese names. If this Pokémon is traded to [[Pokémon X and Y|X or Y]], the game will recognize the Chatot to be Japanese.
* Chatot is the only non-Legendary Pokémon, barring {{p|Phione}}, to be banned from [[Generation V]]'s {{DL|Rule variants|Global Battle Union}}, likely owing to complications caused by Chatter.

===Origin===
Chatot closely resembles a {{wp|masked lovebird}}, a kind of small parrot. It also resembles a {{wp|blue-and-yellow macaw}}. Its head looks like an {{wp|eighth note}}, and its tail resembles a {{wp|metronome}}. Additionally, its white neck feathers resemble a collar.

====Name origin====
Chatot is a combination of ''{{wp|chat}}'' and ''{{wp|parrot}}''.

Perap may be a combination of {{wp|parrot}} and {{wp|rap}}. It may also derive from ぺらぺら ''perapera'', which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=Normal|type2=Flying
|ja=ペラップ ''Perap''|jameaning=Possibly from ''parrot'' and ''rap''. May also derive from ぺらぺら ''perapera'', which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.

'''Chatot''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペラップ''' ''Perap'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Chatot is an avian Pokémon similar to a parakeet. Its head is black and resembles an {{wp|eighth note}}, while its black tail resembles a {{wp|metronome}}. It plumage is brightly colored with blue wings, a yellow chest and feet, a green stomach, and a pink, hooked beak and eyelids. Additionally, there is a ruff of white feathers around its neck. This Pokémon's tongue is similar to a human's, allowing it to imitate human speech. Chatot is also able to mimic the cries of other Pokémon, and uses this ability as a defense mechanism. Chatot uses the sounds it has learned and arranges them into its own melody, and flicks its tail to keep rhythm. Chatot is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Chatter}}.

==Trivia==
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Chatot is the only Pokémon whose cry is not altered when it faints or is sent out with a status condition.
* Despite having significantly higher Special Attack and Speed stats, Chatot awards EV points in Attack.
* In [[Generation IV]], a person in [[Eterna City]] will trade a Chatot in return for a {{p|Buizel}}, and the Chatot's nickname is Charap, a mixture of its English and Japanese names. If this Pokémon is traded to [[Pokémon X and Y|X or Y]], the game will recognize the Chatot to be Japanese.
* Chatot is the only non-Legendary Pokémon, barring {{p|Phione}}, to be banned from [[Generation V]]'s {{DL|Rule variants|Global Battle Union}}, likely owing to complications caused by Chatter.

===Origin===
Chatot closely resembles a {{wp|masked lovebird}}, a kind of small parrot. It also resembles a {{wp|blue-and-yellow macaw}}. Its head looks like an {{wp|eighth note}}, and its tail resembles a {{wp|metronome}}. Additionally, its white neck feathers resemble a collar.

====Name origin====
Chatot is a combination of ''{{wp|chat}}'' and ''{{wp|parrot}}''.

Perap may be a combination of {{wp|parrot}} and {{wp|rap}}. It may also derive from ぺらぺら ''perapera'', which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=Normal|type2=Flying
|ja=ペラップ ''Perap''|jameaning=Possibly from ''parrot'' and ''rap''. May also derive from ぺらぺら ''perapera'', which can mean "fluent in languages" but also "blah blah blah", referring to how incessantly some parrots will talk and chatter.
|de=Plaudagei|demeaning=From {{tt|''plaudern''|to chat}} and {{tt|''Papagei''|parrot}}
|fr=Pijako|frmeaning=From {{tt|''pie''|magpie}} and ''{{tt|Jacquot|a familiar or cliché word used to refer to parrots}}''. The name also sounds similar to Chatot's in-game cry.
|es=Chatot|esmeaning=Same as English name
|it=Chatot|itmeaning=Same as English name
|ko=페라페 ''Perape''|komeaning=Transliteration of Japanese name
|zh_cmn=聒噪鳥 ''Guō Zào Niǎo''|zh_cmnmeaning=Literally "Clamorous/noisy bird".
