====About Me====
I was introduced into Pokemon at about the age 6 when I got the 10th anniversary Pokemon Book that I memorized and that Christmas I got FireRed, and almost won the Pokemon League with my Level 70 Blastoise, but since my other Pokemon weren't that good they all fainted by Lance, and I ran out of PP, It was a cruel game the game played on me, making my attacks miss till I struggled and fainted. I didn't win till last year because of what happened next week.

That next week I got Emerald and loved it, frankly I thought Kanto was the main game of the Generation, and their were no previous gens, not paying attention to the 10th anniversary on said book. I beat Emerald and wondered where were the Pokemon between Mew and Treecko?

The next year my question was answered with Silver which I beat with my Typhlosion.

I got a DS and then Diamond for my birthday. It was when I looked on the internet for info on Pokemon I was when I had my faithful encounter with Bulbapedia. In then I got Pearl and soon Platinum my first and so far only complete Generation set.

2010 brought White for me and boy was I surprised when it had constant movement instead of animations.

Then my next game I got Black 2 (Because I Zekrom over Reshiram) and Loved when they had the cutsence with Kyurem fusing.

I am Pumped for X or Y but can't decide which one to get!

Ok I desided on Y because it is awesomer.

== I have a question for you regarding my user page. ==

Now, I want to make my user page better, but I wanna ask.

Is it ok that I list my favorite Pokémon and what I like don't like about Pokémon, or does my user page have to be relevant to this encyclopedia somehow? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 01:53, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
:That's entirely fine, and pretty much exactly what the userspace is meant for. A list of what isn't allowed, as well as additional rules & restrictions regarding the userspace, can be found at the {{bp|userspace policy}}. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:57, 12 December 2012 (UTC)
::Thanks I'll be sure to read the policy. Oh, and I am going to make use of that preview button since I know there is a limit to how much I'm allowed to update my user page a day. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 02:07, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

== Sprite completion ==

Everything in Stage 2 of the Trainer sprites project has been finished, including the protected pages (with special thanks to Sprite-it for fixing them all). Masatoshi{{tt|*|also with special thanks}} already took care of Stage 3 after all of the sprite links were changed on their respective pages so we don't have to worry about that. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 04:56, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:Both Spriteit and Masatoshi had already come to me in regards to approval for the work they did, so I'm already aware of the completion of Stage 2 and Stage 3. But, thank you anyway for the progress report. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

== Question about Dunsparce page ==

I recently updated the page with its Gold/Silver backsprites in an extra box, and you changed the extras to the Crystal backsprites.
In the history page it says the main box sprites will "take a while to refresh"; does this mean they will correctly show the Gold/Silver backsprites soon? As of now they appear to show the Crystal sprites. Just wondering! [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:18, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:They're meant to show Crystal backsprite, while that big template should show GS (someone uploaded Crystal backsprite on GS's file) [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 12:28, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
::I'm not sure if I should revert them back to the proper file or if that's in the works already D: I did upload the G/S files prior to my edit to show the differences between the two and I'm not sure why they're now both the Crystal sprite. [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:33, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:::Server takes time to update. Due to that, they look correctly at Archives, but not Bulbapedia. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 12:37, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
::::Urrggh yeah, I figured that out after attempting to revise it and seemingly barfing up the revision history x~x Guess I'll just leave it alone then [[User:Silverlucario|Frezgle]] ([[User talk:Silverlucario|talk]]) 12:40, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
:::::For a bit of an elaboration, Bulbapedia (and Bulbanews) supply files through a cached {{wp|content delivery network}} (CDN). When files are modified on the Archives, the CDN will generally change the cached image within 24 hours. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 01:22, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

== Transcripts ==

Why don't we do pokemon transcripts? If you want to add everything about pokemon why not those to. [[User:Dbeckelheimer6|Dbeckelheimer6]] ([[User talk:Dbeckelheimer6|talk]]) 23:17, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
:It's an issue of copyright. Copying the subject of an episode word for word can be considered a rather serious violation of respective copyrights. This is why we do episode synopses, rather than transcripts. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:23, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
::Oh, Ok. [[User:Dbeckelheimer6|Dbeckelheimer6]] ([[User talk:Dbeckelheimer6|talk]]) 23:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

== Dugtrio sprites ==
Ok, someone's been screwing around with the Dugtrio sprites and replacing them with random sprites. Can you revert them? I've never uploaded an image onto a wiki. [[User:TheShinyRoggenrola|TheShinyRoggenrola]] ([[User talk:TheShinyRoggenrola|talk]]) 14:34, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
They've been fixed now. [[User:TheShinyRoggenrola|TheShinyRoggenrola]] ([[User talk:TheShinyRoggenrola|talk]]) 16:13, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

== I'm confused... ==

What's the difference between when a Pokémon learns a new move, or is revealed to know it? --[[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 00:08, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:Learning a move is physically seen in the episode. The main characters will point out that it didn't know the move beforehand. (Cilan's Crustle using Rock Wrecker after evolving is an example) Revealing a move is when the characters are aware that the Pokémon knows the move, they just haven't used it before. (Example being Cilan's Dwebble using Rock Slide for the first time) [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 00:54, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

==Project Pokémon==
Hi. I was wondering if I could start a project : Project Pokemon. a project that where infomation about pokemon TCG online and stratiges to build strong decks. I play at the local hobbie shop and noticed the lack of data on real life decks and good stratiges to make them strong. That is where Project Pokemon comes in, to make articles about cards, decks, and good stratiges. I know pokemon.com is a sorce but the data is limited and only on like 2-3 card combos which is very sad because pokemon is more than that. please get back to me. It said to ask a staff member and I noticed you are online. do you have the power or know someone I could ask? Thank You --[[User:Eatfish|Eatfish]] ([[User talk:Eatfish|talk]]) 19:27, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

== About the usertags ==

Excuse me, but I was wondering what the wikicode for your This user comes from Canada, Proud to be Canadian and LBRAGRRAHW! usertags are? Thanks- [[User:TeamPlasmaN1212|TeamPlasmaN1212]] 17:14, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
:The code for the country tag is [[Template:User Country|<code><nowiki>{{User Country|400|Canada|F00|FFF|F00}}</nowiki></code>]], the pride tag can be directly included by using [[User:Kogoro/Canada Day|<code><nowiki>{{User:Kogoro/Canada Day}}</nowiki></code>]]. The LBRAGRRAHW! tag is a bit more personal, and I'd prefer that it isn't used by individuals without connection to its background, sorry. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 04:39, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

== Shaymin events ==

Hey, Kogoro. I was wondering if you could take a look at [[Shaymin#In events|the Event page for Shaymin]] if you have a chance to. I am not familiar enough with how the template works and was hoping that you could work out the remaining issues on the table. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:07, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
:Because of that template being updated the template is broken on tons of other Pokémon pages, not just Shaymin. It was updated as part of a major event Pokémon rework on Bulbapedia. The way to fix the problems on the template is by adding the link perimeter, because the [[Template:gameabbrev3]] breaks the event template without the link perimeter. I can fix the template in a little bit. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 20:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
::Ah, thank you for that. I saw it had been updated, but I thought that it was something that I was forgetting to do with Shaymin's page. Thank you for the help. :) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Thanks for the notice ==

Thanks for the information, I will stop updating the cards. [[User:Jerbuta|Jerbuta]] ([[User talk:Jerbuta|talk]]) 20:08, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

== Oppand ==

The user keeps on removing content and replacing it with profanity. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 20:28, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
:Actually, it was already taken care of Dennou after I posted this. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 20:30, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

== User page ==

Can you please change the policy so new users on Bulbapedia (such as myself) can edit their own user page? I don't understand why we can't even edit our own user page. Will this change take place or not? Also, what's the reason behind it so we can't edit our own user page? --[[User:IllaZilla|IllaZilla]] ([[User talk:IllaZilla|talk]]) 01:10, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

==Preview Button Protocol==
What did I screw up that would warrent the necessity of this?

[[User:Jdogno4|Jdogno4]] ([[User talk:Jdogno4|talk]]) 09:38, 16 March 2013 (UTC)
:This isn't due to any one incidence, but many over the course of your time on Bulbapedia: {{ut|Jdogno4#The Preview Button|1 & 2}}, {{ut|Jdogno4#The Preview Button 2|3 & 4}}, {{ut|Jdogno4#The Preview Button (3)|5}}, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SnorlaxMonster&action=history and 6]. Even with a mandatory preview, it took you two edits to post this question. You really need to learn to use the preview button, so you can make your changes with a single edit.

There has been a user by the name of [http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/User:Blugo34 Blugo34] on the [http://pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Wiki Pokemon Wiki] (a Wikia wiki) who has been taking images from Bulbapedia and uploading them to the wiki without even attributing Bulbapedia.

== Protected Pages ==

Hey I've been trying to move the articles about the BW chapters that are a part of the newly-released Volume 44 so that I can rename them so that the links on the Volume 44 page actually lead to something. But you protected the pages around two years ago. Can you or someone who's an admin change the titles of those articles so that they will fit with the volume format now that they are parts of volumes? Thanks.

== Bulbapedia News ==

Dear Kogoro, I would like to know if I could create a Area in the main page, with helpful info to new trainers, or Rumors on new pokemon, or Fanfiction stories, or anything Pokemon related? {{unsigned|ShadowPikachu126}}

== Koga's and Giovanni's sprites ==

Deat Kogoro,
I am trying to change Giovanni's and Koga's VS sprite to their gen III sprites because they aren't gym leaders in generation IV. If you look up Viridian City and Fuchsia City, you will see Koga's and Giovanni's gen III, not their VS sprites. Also, if you try to edit Viridian City or Fuchsia City, you will see a message by an admin saying that their gen III sprites are used because they weren't gym leaders in gen IV and that admin will ban you for 1 month if you edit it to their gen IV sprite. I am trying to follow his example and change their VS sprites to their gen III sprites. If you could, please let me do so.

Sincerely,
{{unsigned|Agent5514}}
:Commented instructions are only in effect on the page they are placed on, unless they specifically note additional pages that are also subject to the instructions. The Indigo League and Gym Leader pages use the VS sprites for consistency within the table, among other reasons, and were done so after a lengthy discussion. It was also brought up in [[Talk:Gym Leader#Why vs sprites?|July 2012]], and it was made quite clear that users preferred the VS sprites over the FRLG battle sprites for Koga and Giovanni on the Gym Leader page.

:When someone reverts you, especially a member of the {{bp|staff|Bulbapedia staff}}, it is imperative that you do ''not'' restore your changes and that you bring up your concerns on the article's talk page instead. What you have done on the Gym Leader and Indigo League pages is start what is called an {{bp|Blocking policy#Threats and edit/revert wars|edit war}}, which is not permitted on Bulbapedia and can result in blocks ranging from temporary to permanent. If you wish for the sprites to be changed, bring it up on the talk page for the Gym Leader article, and allow due discussion. Do not restore your changes until such discussion has taken place, and been properly finalized. Thank you, - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 21:04, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

== About your edit to my page ==

I understand the policy on personal images, and I'm not going to argue that. However, I am not sure ''how'' exactly to link an external image in that template.

[[User:Schiffy|Schiffy]] ([[User_talk:Schiffy|Speak to me]]|[[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|What I've done]]) 13:43, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
:To use an external image in that usertag, you will need to remove the archives filename from your inclusion of the usertag and replace it with: "<code>image=complete URL of the image</code>" Be sure that your external file is no larger than 60×60 pixels, or it will stretch out the tag. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:39, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

== Stadium sprites ==

Hello, Kogoro! I'm having a slight problem, and {{u|Spriteit|a user}} recommended I'd ask you. So, here goes: 
A little while back I noticed that Bulbagarden Archives have all the Stadium and Stadium 2 Pokémon sprites, which made me wonder why aren't they at use. So I checked it out, and found out that the {{template|Party}} template cannot show Stadium images in their properly small size. So, the favor I'm asking you is, that could you please edit the aforementioned template so that the Stadium Pokémon sprites can be used in it with a proper size? I hope you understood. Thank you! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:11, 4 May 2013 (UTC) 
<strike>'''PS.''' BTW, do you know how to upload Stadium images, because several Stadium portraits, including several Trainer portrait from Stadium, and, most importantly to me, Mewtwo's portrait from Stadium 2. So, if you can do this, could you please tackle this job after (possibly) completing the aforementioned request? Once again, thank you.</strike>
:To start, you seem to be a little confused here, so I want to clear this up: {{template|party}} has nothing to do with what Pokémon images can and can't be used, that's specified by the version of the Pokémon box that is used (example: {{template|Pokémon/1}}). With that said, the Stadium models a massive issue preventing their use in parties; they're all inconsistently sized. {{img|Stadium010|Caterpie's}} file is exceptionally tiny, while {{img|Stadium009|Blastoise's}} file is rather large. Blastoise's image is rather square, while {{img|Stadium130|Gyarados's}} file is much taller than it is wide. There may be ways to handle these size issues, but to accomplish that will take quite a bit of planning. Additionally, it will take the creation of a completely new Pokémon box for Stadium & Stadium 2 use. I will look into it, but I make no promises of it working or ever seeing the mainspace. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 03:47, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
::Before I thank you, I'd like to say that yes, I knew that the images were incorrectly sized, but I thought that the problem was at the template. I seemed to think that there could be a way to make the template show the images in a proper size, but if that's not the case, and something new has to be done, take all the time you need. And now, thank you for your attention. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:26, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

changing my username to Launchballer? It is the username I use everywhere else.--[[User:Tmwps|Tmwps]] ([[User talk:Tmwps|talk]]) 14:05, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
:Users are not able to change their own usernames. {{bp|Username policy#Changing usernames|Username change requests}} need to be sent to a member of the {{bp|Editorial Board}}, such as myself.

:What constitutes a "notable" fanfic is an extremely debatable subject.

'''Robert''' (Japanese: '''ロバート''' ''Robert'') is a recurring character of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] from [[Silver Rock Isle]] who first appeared in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]''.

==History==
Robert's first appearance was in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose or Drew!]]'', where he was seen competing in the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He defeated [[Drew]] with his {{p|Milotic}} and won that city's [[Ribbon]].

The next time Robert appeared was during the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. In ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'', he was seen using his Milotic in the [[Appeal|Appeals Round]]. In the following episode, ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]'', he nearly became a victim of {{TRT}} when they tried to steal his [[Contest Pass]] and his Pokémon.

{{Ash}} tried to stop them using his {{p|Snorunt}}, but it couldn't get its {{m|Ice Beam}} to work. Robert took Snorunt aside and told it to concentrate more. Snorunt did, and thanks in part to Robert's pep talk, it [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{AP|Glalie}}.

Robert then proceeded to the finals of the Hoenn Grand Festival, which he won, earning the [[Ribbon Cup]] as well as the title of {{DL|Grand Festival|Top Coordinator}}. According to Drew, immediately after he won, he began {{pkmn|training}} for the next Grand Festival.

It proved to be very talented as its performance was able to advance Robert to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]]. It later battled [[Drew]] and his {{TP|Drew|Roselia|Roserade}} where it used its {{m|Iron Tail}} attack. When Roselia sent out a {{m|Magical Leaf}}, Milotic cut through it with its {{m|Twister}}. Robert was then declared the winner of the battle and he went on to win the whole Contest.

It later appeared in ''[[AG122|Deceit and Assist]]'' where it was used in the Appeals Round of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. It was seen [[AG123|again]] during the final match of the Festival battling alongside Robert's {{p|Claydol}} against [[Drew]]'s {{p|Flygon}} and {{p|Masquerain}} and winning.

Milotic's known moves are {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Safeguard}} and {{m|Twister}}.}}

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}} as a [[Tower duo|duo]], even sometimes as its polar opposite. {{game3|Gold and Silver|Silver|s}} represents Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and {{game3|Gold and Silver|Gold|s}} represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, its remake {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], appearing on the boxart of them all.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. They have a somewhat beak-like, ridged mouth, although they have teeth on their lower jaw. Their head has a point to the back, and Lugia’s eyes have pointed blue or black spikes on them. Lugia have long slender necks and their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has large wings that resemble hands.

====Gender differences====
Lugia is a genderless species. However, unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed (though only in the anime), suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
[[File:Lugia plates.png|thumb|201px|Lugia folding back its plates]]
Lugia is the leader of the [[legendary birds]]. When they fight over territory, Lugia is the only Pokémon that can quell their ceaseless fighting, as observed in the second Pokémon movie. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather; most notably it can calm and give rise to storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to tear down cliffs. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as long as 40 days. It is highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater and tends to sleep in solitude. It can shoot incredibly powerful {{m|Aeroblast|beams}} from its mouth when in danger and is constantly protected from harm inside a deflective sphere of psychic energy. However, this Psychic Shield will collapse from repeated, or simultaneous, powerful attacks (as shown in the second Pokémon movie). Lugia is also shown to be able to use telepathy, as seen in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', while communicating with Ash. Lugia is able to fold back the plates on its back to increase its speed.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been on occasion observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. However, this is only shown in the anime, and whether or not they can breed in the games is still unknown. They are generally known to be peaceful, protective, calm, modest and benevolent; it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans and other Pokémon from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this, contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill-advised as their role in controlling world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Lugia usually live very deep on the ocean floor, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto and, when disturbed, flying high in the sky. When captured they like to be next to water or listen to it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As deep sea dwellers, it is shown that this Pokémon feeds on seaweeds. However, since its appearance seems to be based on a sea dragon or a whale, it is possible that Lugia feeds on small aquatic Pokémon as well.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lugia anime.png‎|thumb|right|250px|Lugia in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Lugia (M02)]]====
A Lugia was featured in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', central to the legend of [[Shamouti Island]]. Its psychic powers allow it to communicate with humans.

====[[Silver (Johto)]]====
A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed Silver by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for {{an|Giovanni}} in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]''. and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. Ash and Misty (Brock was not along with them) act as if this was their first time seeing a Lugia, as if the second movie never took place. Meowth, as well, said that he'd "never seen a Pokémon like that before!" On the contrary, the dub pays mention of the Lugia that was seen in the Orange Islands, with both James and Ash stating that it was "like" the one they'd seen in the Orange Islands. In both versions, Ash first refers to the baby Lugia as a "mysterious Pokémon."

===Minor appearances===
Lugia saved Ash, Misty and Brock from being sucked into a whirlpool in ''[[EP210|Around the Whirlpool]]''.

A Lugia also appeared in a [[Team Rocket]] fantasy in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

Lugia made a brief cameo at the beginning of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:PS148.png|thumb|200px|Lugia in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The [[Elite Four]] tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia (unnamed at the time) in the {{chap|Yellow}}. The [[Masked Man]] apparently caught Lugia twice (its plucked feather item {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Silver Wing}} is shown under his possession several years ago, only to be stolen by {{Adv|Green}}), but both times it went back to the wild along with {{p|Ho-Oh}}. It was first encountered in {{PAV|7}} as a being of shimmering light (long before most [[Generation II]] Pokémon were known) when [[Lance]] summoned it to aid his schemes of eliminating most of mankind, but it wasn't until much later in {{PAV|12}} that it was properly identified as Lugia. Besides the two, it was also controlled for some time by [[Will]] and [[Karen]] while they were under the Masked Man's jurisdiction.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Lugia makes a brief appearance at the end of the chapter ''[[ET20|Epilogue: Wild Type]]''.

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Shū]] captured Lugia once, but released it in order to let it continue protecting the ocean.

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

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

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Lugia|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Lugia.png|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
''The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.''

====Brawl trophy information====

''"A Diving Pokémon. A legendary Pokémon often referred to as "guardian of the seas," it has the impressive ability to control the wind. Lugia typically spends its time quietly at the bottom of the ocean. Highly powerful in all areas, Lugia's Aeroblast move is especially powerful. It uses strong flapping of its wings to target damage on a foe's weak spot."''

==Trivia==

* Lugia is first legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive normal episodes of the anime, with {{p|Meloetta}} being the second.
* Lugia is the only legendary Pokémon to be part of the [[Pokémon All-Stars]] DVD series.
* Lugia has been the mascot of three games, namely: {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}}, [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], and {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon SoulSilver|s}}, making it the record holder of most number of times used as a game mascot.
* Before the introduction of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia, like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, has the same encounter music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same was true for the [[legendary beasts]] before they received unique encounter music in {{v2|Crystal}}. However, Lugia and Ho-Oh got their own unique battle themes in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* Despite not being a Water type, Lugia has occasionally been depicted as a {{ct|Water}} in the [[Lugia (TCG)|TCG]].
* Lugia is one of two Pokémon that has defenses over 100 at Level 100 in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} if not given any vitamins or [[gummi]]s, the other being {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Though Lugia is officially genderless like most other legendary Pokémon, it has an unmistakably masculine voice when it speaks through telepathy to Ash in the [[M02|second movie]]. It shares this trait with {{p|Mewtwo}}, as seen primarily in the [[M01|first movie]], {{p|Darkrai}}, as seen in the movie ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', and {{p|Arceus}}, as seen in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.
** Incidentally, certain episodes show parent Lugia and a younger Lugia child. This shows that there is likely a breeding population of Lugia. The only other attempt to have another of a legendary Pokémon was in the case of {{p|Mewtwo}}, as it was created as an enhanced clone of Mew.
** Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh for the [[List of Pokémon by base stats|highest base]] {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{t|Flying}} types. This also ties them for the fourth highest Special Defense base stat of all Pokémon.
** Lugia has the second highest Special Defense base stat of all {{t|Psychic}} types, only being beaten by {{p|Deoxys}} in Defense forme.
** Lugia is tied with Ho-Oh and Rayquaza for highest base stat total of all Flying types. Together with Mewtwo it has the highest base stat total of all Psychic types.
* In the book adaptation of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Lugia is mistakenly referred to as a {{2t|Water|Flying}} type Pokémon.
* Lugia's [[Generation IV]] and {{Gen|V}} Pokédex entries that mention it being able to cause a 40-day storm may be a {{wp|Noah's Ark|biblical reference}}.
* When Lugia's Shiny form is shown in {{g|Stadium 2}}, it is green rather than pink.
* Lugia is the tallest {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
*Lugia's head spikes, back and tail plates were incorrectly colored black in Generation III, this was fixed in Generation IV

===Origin===
Lugia's origin is unclear. While it is regarded a legendary bird Pokémon, it also has elements of dragons, dinosaurs, and sea creatures. It is suggested that {{wp|Ryūjin}}, a dragon who lived on the ocean floor and was the Shinto god of the sea, is a possible basis for Lugia. The two have similarities in mythology, and further evidence lies in Lugia's Shiny coloration: red and white are also the colors of the coral of which the {{wp|Ryūgū-jō}}'s palace was made. The beluga whale, a white whale with a similar body shape and coloration to Lugia, is also cited as a design source: at the very least, it may also form part of Lugia's name origin.

====Name origin====
Lugia may be derived from ''{{wp|lutetium}}'' (a silverish element), which in turn is named after ''Lutetia'' (the Roman name for {{wp|Paris}}, the city of light). It may also involve ''Lugeo'' (Latin for ''to lie dormant'', alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea) and ''luna'' (Latin for ''moon''). Alternatively, it may come from ''{{wp|beluga whale}}''.

Some Pokémon are so closely related to each other that they can be considered parallels to each other. Such Pokemon often share Evolution Methods, a rivalry to another, are used by different evil team leaders or have a simular move set in some cases.

===Evolutionary Parallels===
These are Pokemon the are considered parallels because of how they [[Evolve]].

==Trivia==
* Shroomish and its evolved form, {{p|Breloom}}, share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
* Shroomish can be seen as a [[Pokemon Parallel|parallel] to {{p|Paras}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak|Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.

===Origin===
Shroomish is based on a mushroom.

====Name origin====
Shroomish is derived from ''{{wp|mushroom}}'' and the suffix ''ish'' (almost like) or ''skirmish'' ({{p|Breloom|Shroomish's evolved form}} is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon).

Kinococo is a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'' (mushrooms) and 子 ''ko'' (child).

ShadowPikachu126: /* Possible Japan Basis */

== Inspiration from France ==
I had the thought that, since the largest city in Karosu, [[Miare City]] is most likely based on Paris, the entire region of Karosu could be based on France. I started looking at the shape of France and I noticed it has a somewhat similar shape to Karosu. France has 5 major corners (arguably 6 if you want to count the southernmost corner) and Karosu is shaped like a 5 pointed star. The thing that is especially similar about the geography is the peninsula in the west. Both Karosu and France have a prominent peninsula in the west of the country/region. Anyone think these similarities are noteworthy? Here is a picture of France and Karosu side by side so you can see what I mean:
:http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/a/a4/Karosu.png http://geography.about.com/library/blank/france.jpg --[[User:Alex726|'''Alex''''''726''']][[User talk:Alex726|'''(TALK)''']] 18:42, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
:The article already mentions that the region is likely based on France. However, this wording is used because we haven't seen a complete image of the entire region. We don't know if it would be solely based on France. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 18:49, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
::Oops, I thought I read the entire article. That's embarrassing. --[[User:Alex726|'''Alex''''''726''']][[User talk:Alex726|'''(TALK)''']] 18:52, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

== Possible Japan Basis ==

If you look at Japan you can see a landmass that looks a lot like Kalos
[[File:Pokemonworld.png]]
[[File:Kalos.png]]
The Kalos landmass while based on europe also seems to take the shape of the Japanese Island of Shinkoku Shinkoku also looks like a five pointed star and the mountains at to the south and east of Kalos look like the shoreline of Shinkoku

The '''fifth generation''' of Pokémon is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. However, unlike previous generations, the games were followed by two sequels—{{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}—instead of a third version. For the first time since [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} (following the internal identification of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} rather than the advertised console), the games were released on the same platform as [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s main series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]].

[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

The Generation V games are able to communicate with the five [[Generation IV]] games in the same way that the [[Generation III]] games can communicate with the Generation IV games, with players able to transfer Pokémon via a method similar to [[Pal Park]]. Pokémon caught in a Generation III game are able to move forward to Generation V by passing through Generation IV games.

Black and White occur an unknown amount of time after [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Machine Part}} makes a {{wp|cameo appearance}}, saying that while he had intended to revive Team Rocket upon returning home, he instead fell in love and had a son. [[Cynthia]] mentions visiting the [[Distortion World]] and being defeated by a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} as Sinnoh League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Black 2 and White 2 occur two years after the events of Black and White.

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No Pokémon from previous generations can be found in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of 92 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of 41 new [[Ability|Abilities]], bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new Abilities, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple Battle]]s and [[Rotation Battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[Double Battle]]s.
* The introduction of the [[Wonder Launcher]], a new battle mode which can stack with double, triple and Rotation Battles.
* The introduction of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, where Double Battles against [[wild Pokémon]] can occur.
* The introduction of [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], occurrences which involve wild Pokémon or items moving and making sounds to indicate their position, somewhat similar to the [[Poké Radar]].
* The introduction of [[seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more realistic and lifelike. There are also curves in places like [[Castelia City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].
* The [[Poké Mart]] is now combined with the [[Pokémon Center]].
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game in Black and White, rather than just inside of the [[Union Room]] or [[the Underground]].
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* [[Weather conditions]] and the current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of [[Poké Ball]], the {{DL|Poké Ball|Dream Ball}}, retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the {{DL|Poké Ball|Sport Ball}} are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game.
* Pokémon now animate constantly throughout battle, rather than simply animating upon exiting a [[Poké Ball]] as in previous generations. These animations are reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}. The speed at which Pokémon move slows as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with most [[status ailment]]s, and {{status|frozen}} Pokémon do not move at all.
* When a Pokémon is affected by a status ailment, in addition to slowing movement, it also glows a color depending on the status ailment (except for sleep). When a Pokémon is {{status|asleep}}, it uses a different sprite that depicts it sleeping, usually with its eyes closed.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but seen from behind.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon on the battlefield has less than 25% of their HP, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* The overworld music also changes in certain circumstances. Almost all the routes now have instruments that differ between the seasons, and layers that activate and deactivate when the player walks or stops, respectively; while music that plays in some towns and cities have layers that can be added by talking to citizens. These people can be seen playing different musical instruments like piano, guitar, etc.
* In the Japanese version of the game, the option to display {{wp|kanji}} in game menus and text is available, in addition to {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} as in the previous four generations.
* In international versions of the game, Pokémon names are displayed with only one capital letter, rather than having all capital letters, as it was prior to Generation V.
* The number of boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] has been increased from 18 to 24. However, players only start with 8 boxes. Additional space is available once the player has placed one captured Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, then receiving an additional 8 boxes for storage, bringing the total to 16. This cycle continues until the player finally has 24 boxes, for a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded from 92 to 95. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs now have infinite uses, like [[HM]]s.
*** To prevent repeated usage of TMs for the purpose of PP restoration, when a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced (up to its own maximum).
* The number of HMs has been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The [[trade|trading]] process has been upgraded: players may now trade Pokémon directly from their [[PC]] boxes, without having to place offered Pokémon in their party first. The [[Global Terminal]] also allows players to trade using this method. Furthermore, players can trade outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] via [[infrared]].
* The expansion of key item registration to include access to several menu screens. After being registered, the player can access a quick access menu by pressing the Y Button.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.
* When Pokémon are sent out, there is a sound effect and visual effect as they land which varies depending on the [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] of the Pokémon (unless it's a Pokémon that stays airborne like {{p|Hydreigon}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Goldeen}}; or it is {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}).

===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the [[Pokéathlon]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* [[Seal]]s and [[Ball Capsule]]s are no longer available for use on [[Poké Ball]]s.
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s appliance forms are now no longer {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; instead, they are {{t|Electric}} and the type of their special move.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] in [[Amity Square|any point of the game]].
* The abandonment of encounter rate differences based on the [[time]] of day.
* The option to have the [[Running Shoes]] on at all times, as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, has been removed.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club}}, there is no longer an option to set all Pokémon at level 100.
* Items are displayed in a list format rather than the six-cell pages that were seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* [[Mixing records]] is no longer a feature.
* The persistent bottom-screen menu from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is no longer present, as that screen now displays the [[C-Gear]]. The menu is brought up on the touch screen in the same way, though, with X.
* The way some [[key items]] are used, such as the Dowsing Machine, has been altered.
* {{status|Poison}} no longer inflicts damage outside the battle.
* [[Badge]]s are no longer necessary in order to use [[HM]] {{OBP|field move|main series}}s.
* The Elite Four no longer have to be battled in a set order.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] no longer sparkle if they break out of a Poké Ball.
* Many Pokémon have their experience yield changed, which is no longer limited to 255.
* In the [[Vs. Recorder#Browse Mode|Vs. Recorder's Browse Mode]], it is no longer possible to change the interface's color to the previous color in the line by tapping the left border of the touch screen. Tapping either border will change it to the next color in the sequence.
* [[Nintendo DSi]] systems connected to an Internet router requiring the "advanced setup" option are now compatible with online features, such as the [[Global Terminal]].

===Additions in Black 2 and White 2===
* A sequel pair to the primary pair of games, with an all-new story.
* Pokémon from previous generations can be found from the start.
* New attractions, such as [[Pokéstar Studios]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Challenge Mode and Easy Mode, which raise and lower the NPC opponents' Pokémon's strength, respectively.
* All opponent Trainers now have fluidly animated sprites that move before battle.

==Region==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|right|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type|Water}}.

==Discussion of Generation V==
===Unova thematic motif===
The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White-- both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Swords of Justice]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The {{pkmn|Dream World}}, which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fit into this theme.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese logo of the Pokémon games was redesigned once again for Generation V's releases; the first logo was used in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], and the second during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]].
** The text for the English boxes also received a new design.
* Generation V introduced the most new Pokémon to the series, with 156 (five more than Generation I introduced).
* Generation V introduced the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with 14.
* Generation V is the first generation since Generation I not to introduce any [[baby Pokémon]] or cross-generational relatives.
** Generation V is also the first generation where the number of [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced did not increase from the previous generation. In this case, Generation V introduced 13 legendary Pokémon, and [[Generation IV]] introduced 14 legendary Pokémon if {{p|Phione}} is a legendary Pokémon or 13 legendary Pokémon if it is not.
* Generation V is the only generation where:
** There is only one [[fishing]] rod—the {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}—as the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} and {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} have been removed.
** The {{game|Black and White|s|primary paired versions}} were released in Europe before North America.
** A single-type Pokémon of every type is introduced.
** The main {{pkmn|professor}} is female.
* Generation V is also the only generation without:
** A new move as an [[HM]]: all six HM moves have previously been available in HMs.
** The introduction of a new [[branched evolution]]: all Generation V Pokémon which can evolve only evolve into one Pokémon species.
** A [[Game Corner]]: this likely is due to changes in European law, which caused the European release of {{game|Platinum}} to lack Game Corner games and caused international versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} to completely alter the Game Corners to feature [[Voltorb Flip]] instead of the traditional slot machines.
** A [[Cycling Road]]: no place in Unova specifically requires the player to ride his or her [[bicycle]].
** All member games occurring at approximately the same time.
** A visit to [[Kanto]] for the player, and the appearance of its regional professor, [[Professor Oak]].
** The introduction of a move that can't be {{m|Sketch}}ed: Generation I introduced {{m|Struggle}}, Generation II introduced Sketch itself, Generation III introduced [[Shadow move]]s, and Generation IV introduced {{m|Chatter}}.
** A solitary [[Version|main series]] game.
** A home console game.

'''Shroomish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノココ''' ''Kinococo'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Breloom}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shroomish are small green and peach colored Pokémon with a clear inspiration from mushrooms. They are peach on the upper half, where they are spotted with green and have a small opening at the top. This section ends with frilled segments, which overlap its green underside, which is round and has small, round feet. Shroomish seem to have a near permanent frown on their face.

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

===Special abilities===
Shroomish have the ability to {{a|Effect Spore|spread spores that can Poison, Paralyze, or cause a Pokémon to fall asleep on direct contact.}} They can use a {{m|Spore|different spore}} to cause a Pokemon to enter a deep slumber. They can release {{m|PoisonPowder| Toxic Powder}} from the top of their head.

===Behavior===
Shroomish are said to be mild tempered, and are often found keeping still under fallen leaves. If a Shroomish senses danger, it shakes its body and scatters toxic spores from the top of its head.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They prefer the damp soil of large forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Shroomish eat naturally decayed plants, leaves, and other compost found on the forest floor.

==Trivia==
* Shroomish and its evolved form, {{p|Breloom}}, share their species name with {{p|Paras}}, {{p|Parasect}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}}. They are all known as Mushroom Pokémon.
* Shroomish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Paras}}. Both of them are {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Shroomish is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Paras is exclusive to [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]], with both Pokémon found in a [[Pokémon outbreak|Mass Outbreak]] in {{rt|11|Unova|the same location}} in their respective versions. Additionally, both are based on fungi.

===Origin===
Shroomish is based on a mushroom.

====Name origin====
Shroomish is derived from ''{{wp|mushroom}}'' and the suffix ''ish'' (almost like) or ''skirmish'' ({{p|Breloom|Shroomish's evolved form}} is a {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon).

Kinococo is a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'' (mushrooms) and 子 ''ko'' (child).

The '''fifth generation''' of Pokémon, known by fans due to its version names as the '''monochrome generation''', is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. However, unlike previous generations, the games were followed by two sequels—{{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}—instead of a third version. For the first time since [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} (following the internal identification of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} rather than the advertised console), the games were released on the same platform as [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s main series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]].

[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

The Generation V games are able to communicate with the five [[Generation IV]] games in the same way that the [[Generation III]] games can communicate with the Generation IV games, with players able to transfer Pokémon via a method similar to [[Pal Park]]. Pokémon caught in a Generation III game are able to move forward to Generation V by passing through Generation IV games.

Black and White occur an unknown amount of time after [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Machine Part}} makes a {{wp|cameo appearance}}, saying that while he had intended to revive Team Rocket upon returning home, he instead fell in love and had a son. [[Cynthia]] mentions visiting the [[Distortion World]] and being defeated by a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} as Sinnoh League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Black 2 and White 2 occur two years after the events of Black and White.

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No Pokémon from previous generations can be found in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of 92 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of 41 new [[Ability|Abilities]], bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new Abilities, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple Battle]]s and [[Rotation Battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[Double Battle]]s.
* The introduction of the [[Wonder Launcher]], a new battle mode which can stack with double, triple and Rotation Battles.
* The introduction of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, where Double Battles against [[wild Pokémon]] can occur.
* The introduction of [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], occurrences which involve wild Pokémon or items moving and making sounds to indicate their position, somewhat similar to the [[Poké Radar]].
* The introduction of [[seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more realistic and lifelike. There are also curves in places like [[Castelia City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].
* The [[Poké Mart]] is now combined with the [[Pokémon Center]].
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game in Black and White, rather than just inside of the [[Union Room]] or [[the Underground]].
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* [[Weather conditions]] and the current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of [[Poké Ball]], the {{DL|Poké Ball|Dream Ball}}, retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the {{DL|Poké Ball|Sport Ball}} are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game.
* Pokémon now animate constantly throughout battle, rather than simply animating upon exiting a [[Poké Ball]] as in previous generations. These animations are reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}. The speed at which Pokémon move slows as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with most [[status ailment]]s, and {{status|frozen}} Pokémon do not move at all.
* When a Pokémon is affected by a status ailment, in addition to slowing movement, it also glows a color depending on the status ailment (except for sleep). When a Pokémon is {{status|asleep}}, it uses a different sprite that depicts it sleeping, usually with its eyes closed.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but seen from behind.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon on the battlefield has less than 25% of their HP, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* The overworld music also changes in certain circumstances. Almost all the routes now have instruments that differ between the seasons, and layers that activate and deactivate when the player walks or stops, respectively; while music that plays in some towns and cities have layers that can be added by talking to citizens. These people can be seen playing different musical instruments like piano, guitar, etc.
* In the Japanese version of the game, the option to display {{wp|kanji}} in game menus and text is available, in addition to {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} as in the previous four generations.
* In international versions of the game, Pokémon names are displayed with only one capital letter, rather than having all capital letters, as it was prior to Generation V.
* The number of boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] has been increased from 18 to 24. However, players only start with 8 boxes. Additional space is available once the player has placed one captured Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, then receiving an additional 8 boxes for storage, bringing the total to 16. This cycle continues until the player finally has 24 boxes, for a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded from 92 to 95. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs now have infinite uses, like [[HM]]s.
*** To prevent repeated usage of TMs for the purpose of PP restoration, when a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced (up to its own maximum).
* The number of HMs has been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The [[trade|trading]] process has been upgraded: players may now trade Pokémon directly from their [[PC]] boxes, without having to place offered Pokémon in their party first. The [[Global Terminal]] also allows players to trade using this method. Furthermore, players can trade outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] via [[infrared]].
* The expansion of key item registration to include access to several menu screens. After being registered, the player can access a quick access menu by pressing the Y Button.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.
* When Pokémon are sent out, there is a sound effect and visual effect as they land which varies depending on the [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] of the Pokémon (unless it's a Pokémon that stays airborne like {{p|Hydreigon}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Goldeen}}; or it is {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}).

===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the [[Pokéathlon]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* [[Seal]]s and [[Ball Capsule]]s are no longer available for use on [[Poké Ball]]s.
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s appliance forms are now no longer {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; instead, they are {{t|Electric}} and the type of their special move.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] in [[Amity Square|any point of the game]].
* The abandonment of encounter rate differences based on the [[time]] of day.
* The option to have the [[Running Shoes]] on at all times, as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, has been removed.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club}}, there is no longer an option to set all Pokémon at level 100.
* Items are displayed in a list format rather than the six-cell pages that were seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* [[Mixing records]] is no longer a feature.
* The persistent bottom-screen menu from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is no longer present, as that screen now displays the [[C-Gear]]. The menu is brought up on the touch screen in the same way, though, with X.
* The way some [[key items]] are used, such as the Dowsing Machine, has been altered.
* {{status|Poison}} no longer inflicts damage outside the battle.
* [[Badge]]s are no longer necessary in order to use [[HM]] {{OBP|field move|main series}}s.
* The Elite Four no longer have to be battled in a set order.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] no longer sparkle if they break out of a Poké Ball.
* Many Pokémon have their experience yield changed, which is no longer limited to 255.
* [[Nintendo DSi]]s connected to an Internet router requiring the "advanced connection" option are now compatible with online features, such as the [[Global Terminal]].

===Additions in Black 2 and White 2===
* A sequel pair to the primary pair of games, with an all-new story.
* New attractions, such as [[Pokéstar Studios]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Challenge Mode and Easy Mode, which raise and lower the NPC opponents' Pokémon's strength, respectively.
* All opponent Trainers now have fluidly animated sprites that move before battle.

==Region==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|right|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type|Water}}.

==Discussion of Generation V==
===Unova thematic motif===
The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White-- both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Swords of Justice]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The {{pkmn|Dream World}}, which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fit into this theme.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese logo of the Pokémon games was redesigned once again for Generation V's releases; the first logo was used in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], and the second during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]].
** The text for the English boxes also received a new design.
* Generation V introduced the most new Pokémon to the series, with 156 (five more than Generation I introduced).
* Generation V introduced the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with 14.
* Generation V is the first generation since Generation I not to introduce any [[baby Pokémon]] or cross-generational relatives.
** Generation V is also the first generation where the number of [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced did not increase from the previous generation. In this case, Generation V introduced 13 legendary Pokémon, and [[Generation IV]] introduced 14 legendary Pokémon if {{p|Phione}} is a legendary Pokémon or 13 legendary Pokémon if it is not.
* Generation V is the only generation where:
** There is only one [[fishing]] rod—the {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}—as the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} and {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} have been removed.
** The {{game|Black and White|s|primary paired versions}} were released in Europe before North America.
** A single-type Pokémon of every type is introduced.
** The main {{pkmn|professor}} is female.
* Generation V is also the only generation without:
** A new move as an [[HM]]: all six HM moves have previously been available in HMs.
** The introduction of a new [[branched evolution]]: all Generation V Pokémon which can evolve only evolve into one Pokémon species.
** A [[Game Corner]]: this likely is due to changes in European law, which caused the European release of {{game|Platinum}} to lack Game Corner games and caused international versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} to completely alter the Game Corners to feature [[Voltorb Flip]] instead of the traditional slot machines.
** A [[Cycling Road]]: no place in Unova specifically requires the player to ride his or her [[bicycle]].
** All member games occurring at approximately the same time.
** A visit to [[Kanto]] for the player, and the appearance of its regional professor, [[Professor Oak]].
** The introduction of a move that can't be {{m|Sketch}}ed: Generation I introduced {{m|Struggle}}, Generation II introduced Sketch itself, Generation III introduced [[Shadow move]]s, and Generation IV introduced {{m|Chatter}}.
** A solitary [[Version|main series]] game.
** A home console game.

Gym Leader

2013-04-12T21:14:26Z

ShadowPikachu126: /* In the games */

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest-ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a Trainer defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective Gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon [[type]] and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a {{type|Water}} Gym or flowers and plants in a {{type|Grass}} Gym). According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader.

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym. Some of them founded their Gym and are self-appointed; others, such as [[Whitney]], are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. A few appear to be passed on through families: [[Janine]], [[Falkner]], and [[Flannery]] all take over their respective Gyms from a close family member. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family; [[Roark]] and his father [[Byron]] are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position; examples include [[Koga]], [[Giovanni]], and [[Wallace]].

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brain]]s, [[Colosseum Leader]]s and [[Club Master]]s are not considered Gym Leaders.

==Pokémon used==
Almost all Leaders rely on a single [[type]] of Pokémon. For example, [[Erika]] uses only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in official Gym battles. Some Leaders, however, stray from this mold, albeit rarely. This is evidenced by the different types used by {{ga|Blue}} during his reign as the Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Generation II and IV, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so. However, many Gym Leaders have one or two Pokémon that stray from their type theme.

Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader, [[Crasher Wake]], uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon, a direct allusion to the flooded marsh that surrounds the area and the constant downpour that plagues [[Pastoria City]]. Another example of this is the [[Cinnabar Gym]] Leader, [[Blaine]], who uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and lives in a volcanic area.

The character archetype can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses. For example, [[Roark]] and [[Byron]] are both miners, who use the related {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. [[Tate and Liza]] could be based on the archetype of twins who can communicate telepathically, and thus train {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and being twins, they also battle opposing Trainers in Double Battles, being the only leaders to do so.

==In the games==
[[File:Vs Brawly.png‎|frame|right|Leader [[Brawly]] challenges the player]]A '''Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the [[Trainer class]] name the [[Pokémon games]] give Gym Leaders during battles. Despite Gym Leaders themselves being introduced in [[Generation I]], the name did not appear onscreen until [[Generation II]], and has been incorporated into every game since. Gym Leaders are integral within the Pokémon universe. In order for one to advance in the game, the player must occasionally challenge and defeat the leader of a [[Gym]]. Each game is designed in such a way that the player will not be able to move forward until they receive a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] which will, in turn, either allow them to use a [[HM]] to overcome natural obstacles, or trigger a necessary event to continue with the game. It is one of the player's main objectives to collect eight Gym Badges, allowing him or her to challenge the [[Elite Four]].

Leaders do not seem to be required to be in their Gyms at all times. [[Giovanni]], for example, could keep his title as a Gym Leader despite not being at the [[Viridian Gym]] during the majority of the events of [[Generation I]], and his successor, {{ga|Blue}}, was also absent from the Gym several times. Beginning in [[Generation IV]], Leaders are increasingly encountered outside of their Gyms, evident in the remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the Leaders have to be found in different locations at specific times before they can [[Pokégear#Gym Leader phone listing|exchange phone numbers]] with the player for a [[Fighting Dojo#Gym Leader Rematch Schedule|rematch at the Fighting Dojo]]. Some Leaders even appear across regions, such as [[Jasmine]] appearing in [[Sunyshore City]], [[Crasher Wake]] on {{rt|47|Johto}}, and [[Maylene]] in [[Celadon City]]. Leaders can even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do). In later games, it is made apparent that Gym Leaders know each other and are acquainted with Gym Leaders from other regions, as well as with members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. Examples of this are Jasmine being friends with [[Erika]], Volkner being friends with {{EF|Flint}}, [[Brawly]] training with [[Bruno]], and most [[Unova]] Gym Leaders coming together to fight [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].

In addition some Gym Leaders may be required to use Pokemon different then their usual team, this is supported by the fact that [[Cheren]] uses different Pokemon than his normal team, and him saying the Position is tough, but if he had his usual partners. This is also supported by the fact the Gym Leaders in Post-Game battles they use different Pokemon than normal.
===Gym Trainers===
In addition to Gym Leaders, there are also Gym Trainers. While not an official [[Trainer class]], they are Trainers that are either a devotee or apprentice to the Gym Leader, who follow the same type theme as the Leader does. It is usually necessary to defeat multiple Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leader. Some Gyms in the game require the player to solve a puzzle, and one must often use Gym Trainers as obstacles to reach the solution. They have no direct impact on the overall plot, other than rarely offering the player helpful advice. It is also worth noting that the type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} appearing in a Gym will depend on the Gym itself. For instance, [[Gardenia]] employs {{tc|Aroma Lady|Aroma Ladies}} and {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}, exclusively, while [[Misty]] recruits {{tc|Tuber}}s and {{tc|Swimmer}}s; these Gym Leaders represent the [[type]]s {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
Since there seem to be many more [[Gym]]s in the anime than in other media, as evidenced by many Badges that do not belong to Gyms shown in other media, it follows that there would be many more Gym Leaders.

In the anime, Gym Leaders seem to be forbidden from [[Recall|switching]] their Pokémon. Those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch; however, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. In the games, they may switch their Pokémon as often as any other Trainer, itself a considerably rare event.

A notable occurrence in the anime is that one does not necessarily have to defeat the Gym Leader to obtain a Badge. Badges are given out on a case by case basis based on whether the Gym Leader feels that the Trainer has earned it. Examples include Ash winning his early Gym Badges, not by defeating the Gym Leader, but with other selfless acts such as rescuing Erika's Pokémon from a burning Gym.

There is also an entire league exclusive to the anime where the Gym Leaders all have special requirements in order to gain their Gym Badges, the [[Orange League]].

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Needs other manga}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in ''Adventures'', one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam. Some Gym Leaders have jobs outside of their Gyms, but some of them focus solely on training their skills.

Gym Leaders are highly respected in their respective home regions and usually in other regions as well. When crises emerge, it is highly propable for Gym Leaders to gather to discuss about the situation that has befallen the region and what to do with it, with the most well-known example being the Hoenn Gym Leaders gathering at [[Fortree City]] during the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}} to decide which team—[[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]]—they should support. They also tend to help [[Pokédex holder]]s to fight the villains who are usually behind different crises, a great example being the Sinnoh Gym Leaders fighting [[Team Galactic]] at [[Spear Pillar]] near the end of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}.
All of the [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] Gym Leaders were called up for a tournament held at [[Indigo Plateau]] (which was interrupted by the [[Masked Man]]) to fight as teams to see which region had stronger Gym Leaders. The Kanto team won with four wins, three losses and one draw.

==Trivia==
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ghost}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Gengar}}, and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Even though there are 43 known Gyms in the games, with 50 Gym Leaders among them, there has not yet been a Gym specializing in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, although there have been three [[Elite Four]] members; [[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]. Each of the sixteen other types has been repeated at least once, and {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Electric}} specialist Gyms appear in four of the five regions.
* The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]], [[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Roark]]. They all train either {{t|Rock}}- or {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
** Among those, Roark is the only one whose mother has not been seen in the anime.
** Janine, Roark, Maylene, Cheren and Roxie are the only ones who have a parent the {{player}} can encounter in the games. Koga, Giovanni, Norman, and Byron are the only Gym Leaders whose children can be encountered, or in Norman's case, played as, in the games.
** Other in-game relatives of Gym Leaders include Clair's [[Lance|cousin]] and Blue's [[Professor Oak|grandfather]] and [[Daisy Oak|sister]]. Additionally, Tate and Liza are brother and sister, while Cilan, Chili, and Cress are brothers.
* For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi'' "Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me".
* In the Johto saga of the anime, none of the Gym Leaders had exactly the same lineups as they do in the games.
* Three of the six first Gyms are Rock-type Gyms.
* Three of the six Gyms whose Badge appears seventh in the Badge case specialize in Ice-type Pokémon and are located in the northern reaches of their respective regions.
** In Generation II and IV, [[Cinnabar Gym]], the seventh Gym of Kanto, is located in an icy location, the [[Seafoam Islands]], due to the original building being destroyed by a volcano.
* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in his or her party that knows the [[TM]] move he or she gives out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player can continue the game without defeating [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] until attempting to battle the Elite Four.
* The Hoenn Gym Leaders are the only Gym Leaders not to have VS sprites, since these sprites were not introduced until [[Generation IV]] and the Pokémon World Tournament does not use VS sprites.
* The Orange League is the only one so far in which Ash has successfully defeated all the Gym Leaders without a rematch.

'''Deoxys''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デオキシス''' ''Deoxys'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it has [[Form differences#Deoxys|three other Formes]]. In [[Generation III]], its Forme depends on which game cartridge it is on and cannot be changed without trading.
*'''Normal Forme''' is the default in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
*'''Attack Forme''' is the default in {{game|FireRed}}.
*'''Defense Forme''' is the default in {{game|LeafGreen}}.
*'''Speed Forme''' is the default in {{game|Emerald}}.

In later generations, its Forme can be changed at will in [[Veilstone City]], {{rt|3|Kanto}}, or [[Nacrene City]].

Deoxys is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[National Pokédex]] within [[Generation III]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Deoxys purple crystal Recover.png|thumb|225px|Deoxys regenerating]]
Deoxys has four [[Forme]]s, each with a different appearance. The main components that are constant for all four Formes are a dominant reddish orange color, with a bluish-green face and three dots similar in color to its face situated in an upwards pointing equilateral triangle on its back. There is typically a purple stripe on the face where a nose would be and it has a purple crystalline organ in its chest. Its eyes are white and circular inside black eye sockets shaped like rounded parallelograms. In the movie [[M07|Destiny Deoxys]], there is a second Deoxys that has a green crystalline organ and stripe on its face. Other color varieties, if any besides the green and purple varieties, are unknown.

The '''Normal Forme''' has skinny legs that come to a point. The upper-legs have a single, segmented blue stripe that goes down to the knees. It has an orange skin that covers it except for its black, vertically lined abdomen. Its arms are often in the form of two pairs of cord-like tentacles, red and blue, sometimes coiled in a double helix. Deoxys can reform these tentacles into bluish-green humanoid arms with five-fingered hands, with a red "Y" shape running down the arms' entire length. Deoxys also has two trapezoid-shaped "ears" and a short tail.
[[File:Aurora.png|thumb|225px|The aurora that Deoxys lets off]]

The '''Attack Forme''' has basically the same leg-shape as the Normal Forme, but the stripes are no longer segmented and run down for mostly all of the legs' length, with a large spike on each knee. In place of its arms, Deoxys has a pair of whip-like tentacles that come to a point where its hands would be. Deoxys has triangle-shaped "ears" and a single spike on top of its head. Most of the orange "skin" has disappeared to reveal even more of a black, lined inner body, with the lines shown to converge at the crystalline organ.

The '''Defense Forme''' is bulky and thick; it has wide legs that are somewhat flat at the end and have a bluish-green spot on each of the knees. It has flat, broad tentacles that cannot be twisted and hang down to the ground when Deoxys is not defending itself. In addition, Deoxys' head has been fused with its body, resembling a helmet. Its "skin" has thickened and covered all of its body parts for greater defense.

The '''Speed Forme''' has a sleek gray body. Deoxys only has one tentacle on each side of its body; one red, one blue. The back of Deoxys' head is elongated and comes to a point. It has also lost most of its orange "skin" from its body and has narrow appendages, making it streamlined and aerodynamic. Almost all of its body is shown to be of a black matter, and the lines cover the entire length of its body, from the ends of its legs to its neck.

In [[Generation III]], Deoxys' Forme depends on the game cartridge it is on: Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}. Its Forme cannot be changed without trading.

In [[Generation IV]], Deoxys' Forme can be changed at will by touching meteorites in [[Veilstone City]] or {{rt|3|Kanto}}: Normal Forme by touching the middle meteorite, Attack Forme by touching the southeastern meteorite, Defense Forme by touching the southwestern meteorite, or Speed Forme by touching the northernmost meteorite.

In [[Generation V]], Deoxys' Forme can be changed at will by touching the meteorite in the Nacrene City museum, which will rotate its Forme in the order of Normal, Attack, Defense, and Speed.

====Gender differences====
Deoxys is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
[[File:Aurora at Night.png|thumb|225px|The aurora at night]]
Deoxys mostly has the ability to change its appearance and stats to suit whatever situation it may be in during battle. Deoxys can also regenerate any part of its body that it may have lost during a battle. It appears that as long as its crystalline organ is intact, it can regenerate its entire body. In the anime, Deoxys took four years to regenerate its whole self after being completely obliterated by [[Rayquaza (M07)|Rayquaza's]] {{m|Hyper Beam}} at close range.

Deoxys can release an aurora every time it changes its Forme, but releasing an Aurora is not required to change forme. In the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', it is shown that Deoxys can create an aurora at will without changing Forme, and can communicate with other Deoxys with auroras of different wavelengths.

In the anime and manga, Deoxys is also seen with the ability to create clones of itself. They appear with lifeless eyes, have dulled-down colors, lack of the trademark crystal on the chest, and appear to be unable to use other Formes besides Normal Forme. Unlike Normal Forme for a non-clone Deoxys, clones appear to only use its "tentacles" rather than the hands its tentacles can morph into. When these clones are defeated, they dissolve into shiny dust-like particles.

===Behavior===
Deoxys tend to keep to themselves, but befriend humans they trust.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|125px|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Deoxys was a virus of [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|alien origin]] resting in a stray meteor, and while it flew through the atmosphere, the virus mutated into the first known Deoxys.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Deoxys {{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Speed|1|5=Defense|2|4=Attack|3=Normal}} Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|{{#switch: {{#time: w}}|0|6=Speed|1|5=Defense|2|4=Attack|3=Normal}} Forme Deoxys in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[Deoxys (M07)]]====
{{OBP|Deoxys|M07}} first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. One with a green crystalline organ fell to earth in a meteorite. A second Deoxys (with a purple crystalline organ) came to [[LaRousse City]] to search for it but ended up in an epic battle with {{p|Rayquaza}}. As {{game|Emerald}} had not been released when the movie was produced, only its {{stat|Defense}}, Normal and {{stat|Attack}} Formes appeared.

====Other====
Deoxys's {{stat|Speed}} Forme debuted in the special episode ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]''.

A Deoxys appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'' in all of its formes.

Deoxys appeared in [[PK21]], in which it saved Pikachu, Skitty, and Piplup.

Deoxys plays a large part in a [[DPAS1|special chapter]] of volume 3 in the series. [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] come upon a large meteorite in [[Veilstone City]]. Mitsumi proceeds to tell him that there is a Pokémon that comes from a meteorite. He tells her that he's met Deoxys. She freaks out and doesn't believe him, so he tells the story of how he met Deoxys. Hareta is seen jumping around the forest until he starts riding a {{p|Drifloon}}. A {{p|Murkrow}} flies toward them and pecks the Drifloon, causing it to explode. Hareta is seen plummeting to the ground, and then bouncing off a {{p|Bibarel}}'s stomach. He lays down on the ground with the Bibarel as a pillow, when the Bibarel starts getting worried, because it sees the meteorite containing Deoxys zooming to the ground. The Bibarel tries to tell Hareta what's happening, and he looks up and wonders what it is. The Pokémon and Hareta try to get away as the meteorite crashes down. Deoxys emerges from the meteor, and Hareta thinks it might be a Pokémon. Meanwhile, [[Mars]] and some grunts see the crash, and begin to battle it, but to no avail.

[[Professor Rowan]] shows up, a little worried that something might've happened to Hareta. He asks Rowan what happened to "that weird Pokémon". They then see Deoxys, and Rowan is shocked to see such a rare Pokémon. It transforms to Attack Forme and fires off a {{m|Psycho Boost}} at Hareta and Rowan. Rowan tells Hareta not to make it any angrier, but instead he jumps on top of Deoxys and asks what's wrong. It flings him off, then tries to fire another Psycho Boost at him, but he jumps around it, evading it completely. He jumps on it again, but it transforms to Speed Forme while he is still on it. It starts flying around the forest with Hareta, while he asks Deoxys what's wrong once more. It tells him what's wrong, but it throws him off itself. Then he battles Deoxys with his friends from the forest. {{p|Onix}} tries to {{m|Headbutt}} it, but it misses. It transforms to Defense Forme, and then Hareta jumps on Deoxys and covers its eyes. Then he tells a bunch of {{p|Kricketune}} to have a "super bug concert". Rowan compliments him on the super-effectiveness of the attack, then it transforms back to Normal Forme. It becomes calmer, but transforms to Attack Forme and fires off another Psycho Boost, this time hitting a {{p|Drifloon}}. It explodes, defeating Deoxys. Deoxys is totally calm now, and it merges its tentacles to create a hand, and it shakes hands with Hareta. Hareta finishes telling the story to Mitsumi, and tells her that it wanted to find out more about this planet.

==Trivia==
* The Attack Forme of Deoxys has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} of any non-glitch Pokémon.
** The Speed Forme of Deoxys has the highest {{stat|Speed}} of any Pokémon.
** The Defense Forme of Deoxys has the highest base Defense and Special Defense of any Psychic-type Pokémon.
** Despite this, Deoxys's Attack Forme has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all Pokémon, on par with {{p|Magikarp}} and {{p|Carvanha}}.
*** Its Attack Forme has both of the lowest individual stats of any legendary Pokémon.
* It has the lowest {{stat|HP}} stat of all legendary Pokémon, with 50 base HP in all four forms.
* Deoxys is the only Pokémon whose form change is triggered by different events between generations.
* When recruited in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] Deoxys will be in its Normal Forme when playing in the overworld; however, when exploring a dungeon, Deoxys's form will be randomly selected each time the player progresses to a new floor.
** Deoxys is also one of two Pokémon that has defenses over 100 at Level 100 if not given any vitamins or [[Gummi]]s, the other being {{p|Lugia}}.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, Deoxys's form changes every time its [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]] entry is accessed. It cycles in order from Normal Forme to Attack Forme to Defense Forme to Speed Forme and finally back to Normal Forme.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} and in Pokémon Ranger, Deoxys is able to change to any of its forms at will regardless of where it is. While it can willingly change in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, its choices are limited by the environment.
* Due to the cause of Forme change in Generation III being the game Deoxys is in, ''only'' Speed Forme Deoxys is banned from the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, as only Speed Forme Deoxys is obtainable in Emerald.
* In the games, [[Hoenn]], the [[Sevii Islands]], and [[Orre]]{{tt|*|excluding multiplayer modes in XD}} are the only regions where all four Formes have not been available.
* Deoxys was the first Pokémon to have its own unique battle music.
* Using the first letter from the names of three of Deoxys' formes, one can spell "DNA" ('''D'''efense, '''N'''ormal, '''A'''ttack). The letter "s" at the ending of Deoxys's name could stand for '''S'''peed.
* Before Generation V, Deoxys was the only Pokémon whose stats were recalculated (to apply gained [[effort values|effort points]] to its stats) immediately after a battle. Other Pokémon had to level up, use the [[box trick]], or be fed a [[vitamin]] or [[effort values#Generation III|stat-reducing Berry]] in order to have the effort values applied to their stats.
* While in wild, or while looking at Deoxys belonging to another player (e.g. while trading), it will be in its Normal Forme. 
*Deoxys's Normal, Attack, and Defense Modes are the only Pokemon not animated in Gen 3
===Origin===
Deoxys appears to draw inspiration from certain representations of aliens and visual representations of the DNA double helix.

====Name origin====
Deoxys is an abbreviation of ''{{wp|DNA|deoxyribonucleic acid}}''—or ''DNA''—the medium of genetic code in many cellular organisms. It was mentioned in [[M07|the 7th movie]] that [[Professor Lund]] gave it the name Deoxys.

'''Grotle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハヤシガメ''' ''Hayashigame'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Turtwig}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Grotle acorn.png|Grotle with acorns|220px|thumb|left]]
The shell possessed by Turtwig has grown to protect Grotle's entire head, back, and short tail, and, along with its change of coloration to yellow, now appears sectioned. Turtwig's sprout has migrated to Grotle's back and grown into full bushes, which may occasionally be seen carrying brown, acorn-like nuts. There are three long, brown ridges on the top of Grotle's shell. Grotle’s lower jaw is yellow in coloration and has triangular extensions on the cheeks. Grotle’s feet are also colored yellow, each with three claws.

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

===Special abilities===
Grotle has the ability to sense where pure water wells up. Grotle has the ability to grow acorns on it back with Pokemon like but taste bad to humans.

===Behavior===
Grotle will sometimes start to roll around in dirt and mud. This allows minerals to seep in and make its shell even harder. Grotle may also carry acorn-like nuts on its bushes.

===Habitat===
Grotle live in forests, near sources of fresh water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Much like Turtwig, Grotle nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It may also eat berries like most Pokémon.

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Ash Grotle.png|thumb|right|230px|Grotle in the anime]]
====[[Ash's Grotle]]====
Grotle made its debut appearance in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', when {{Ash}}'s Turtwig evolved. In ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]'', Grotle evolved into {{p|Torterra}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Grotle appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP100|Grotle|Ash's Pokédex|Grotle, the Grove Pokémon and the evolved form of {{p|Turtwig}}. Grotle lives near water in forests, and leaves the forest during the {{DL|Time|day}} to {{m|Synthesis|allow light to shine}} on the tree on its shell.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Tru Grotle.png|thumb|125px|[[Tru]], {{adv|Diamond}}'s {{p|Torterra}}, as a Grotle]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Tru}}
{{adv|Diamond}} had a Grotle named Tru, which is his {{p|Turtwig}}'s evolved form. It became stronger and (slightly) faster in this new form, but was scarcely used for battles, as it would have been ineffective against [[Gardenia]]'s {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, though it still helped {{adv|Platinum}} train for future Gym battles. Soon afterwards, the Grotle became a {{p|Torterra}} alongside [[Chimler]] in [[Veilstone City]] fighting a legion of {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s, and its power and endurance grew tremendously.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
{{OBP|Jun|DPA}}'s Turtwig evolved into a Grotle off-screen and later into Torterra.

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

==Trivia==
* Grotle is the heaviest of the second-stage [[starter Pokémon]].
* Grotle is the only second-stage [[Sinnoh]] starter Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]] at [[level]] 32. {{p|Monferno}} and {{p|Prinplup}} both evolve at level 36.
* When Grotle evolves into {{p|Torterra}}, all of its stats increase by 20 points.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Turtwig, Grotle and Torterra}}
Grotle is based on a {{wp|snapping turtle}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|World Turtle}}, most likely Akupara. World Turtles are mythical turtles who carry worlds and universes on their backs. It also may be based on the {{wp|Cultural depictions of turtles and tortoises#Japan|minogame}}.

====Name origin====
Grotle is a combination of ''{{wp|grove (nature)|grove}}'' and ''{{wp|turtle}}''.

Hayashigame is a combination of 林 ''hayashi'' (grove) and 亀 ''kame'' (turtle).

== Notability of putting the use of a move by only one trainer in the anime in the Trivia section ==
I just wanted the opinion of a pro; I have noticed that in the anime, only one trainer was shown to command the move {{m|Minimize}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}. [[Nurse Joy]] was the only one to ever command Minimize and [[Paul]] was the only one to ever command Giga Drain. Do you think this is notable to put in the trivia sections of both pages? {{u|Ataro}} says that it is not, but he won't give me a good enough reason why. [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 14:54, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
:Not really. There's a first time for everything, and there's plenty of moves that have never been used in the anime. So I don't think it's notable for moves used recently. If the move was used in the first season, and was never used since.......maybe. Signature moves wouldn't count though, I don't think. Like saying Lugia's the only Pokémon to use Aeroblast in the anime. Well yeah, duh, it's the only Pokémon who knows it. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:34, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
::Alright, thanks. And it is obvious that {{p|Lugia}} is the only one capable of using {{m|Aeroblast}}, even though I didn't mean literal signature moves. I just meant moves that have only been commanded by one trainer in the anime. But now I understand. And by the way, on the Archives, when you upload an improved file of a picture, how do you get that upload to be the default set picture? I uploaded a new file for [[Roxie]]'s {{p|Garbodor}}, but when I go to her page, it shows the old one. Do you know how to fix that? [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|I am]] [[User:Mikoro|Mikoro]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|wanna talk?]]) 15:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

== Template Request ==

Hey Jo, I was wondering if you could help me with something. On the new Dungeon location pages ([[Desolate Valley|like this one for example]]), has the items listed without a template or anything to go along with it. IMO, it's rather plain looking the way it is now. Do you think you could somehow find or develop a template that could be used to list MD game items? Thanks for da help. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 01:34, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
:[[Template:DungeonItem/h]] and [[Template:DungeonItem]]. {{u|Abcboy}} put them together, I just finished tweaking them and moving them into the template space. Let me know if any adjustments are needed. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:53, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

== Editing again ==

[[User:Alexsummer|★Alex★]] [[User talk:Alexsummer|Water]] 23:01, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

== Request ==

Listen Jo. Up until now, I have been thinking about every mainspace edit I have made since you revoked my userspace rights. And I've come to a conclusion that I have made a lot of edits since then. And, I want to ask if you think I'm ready to have my userspace rights reinstated. Before you answer, I want you to think about how much I have used and appreciated your benevolence, but I '''absolutely''' want you to forget about how I assumed nonchalance in you. I now trust you as someone who can help guide me, and you have earned your place as my favorite administrator. Just please take some time to think about all of this. When you finish thinking, please tell me. Do you think I am ready to have my userspace rights reinstated? (I can take no for an answer.) Thanks so much.

== Template: Starter Pokémon ==

I don't know about you, but I think the template for the Starter Pokémon needs some major changes. For example, we can remove the Rumble and MD starters and replace them with the Conquest. Also, having the yellow starters pushed to the left makes it look a little wierd. Maybe they should in the middle (right under Johto and Unova).[[User:Iml908|Iml908]] ([[User talk:Iml908|talk]]) 00:52, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

== About the changes you made to the Join Avenue article ==

I don't want to revert everything you did, but neither do I feel like putting in the enormous amount of work it would take to correct your mistakes. So I'm asking, could you please do that yourself? I think you'd figure out where you went wrong if you read the article, but I can provide some main points:
* You've removed all the question marks from the recommendation phrase table, which were there because they had not been disconfirmed. For example, the table now says that "Is there a place where I can warm up?" is not compatible with the Raffle Shop type, when it is. Essentially, you turned a "research in progress" table into a final one, which does not make sense unless you've somehow acquired complete knowledge on it, but the example above illustrates that you have not.
* You've also included the phrases "I want to get excited about something" and "I want to buy some delicious berries!", which I hid because the users who originally added them to the article most likely did not write them exactly as they appear in the games - first one lacks a period or an exclamation mark, second one probably capitalizes Berries like the other Berry-related phrase.
* You changed the recommendation phrase table's point system from two columns which presented NPC fans' 75% and multiplayer representations' 100%, listing the correct point values for the various quotes, to a four column system that erroneously factors in Hall of Fame entrance, has the same point values for almost every phrase, and for some reason mentions StreetPass, which you will also discover makes little sense if you read the article.
* You've expanded the Café table to include not only one price per service, but one for each rank as well, which you'll see is completely wrong if you read what the article says about avenue rank.
There's more, but I may be able to take care of that myself, after you've cleaned up. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 08:11, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
:I'll accept that I might have made a few errors, and you're welcome to not agree with something I did, but I don't appreciate the attitude that is present in your message.
:* I don't see how this inhibits anyone from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Join_Avenue&diff=1831701&oldid=1831632 adding in check marks when they find something that works]. I think having a bunch of question marks all over the place looks sloppy, so yes, I removed them.
:* Those are simple grammar mistakes. I'd rather have a simple mistake like that than completely hiding the information should someone need to look up that specific phrase. I went ahead and made the corrections as one of my visitors just said, "I want to get excited about something!"
:* The points I received from one of the phrases was different than what was on the table, so yes, I assumed there was something different regarding the points. But you're right, it seems I was mistaken. I can't remember what the phrase was that gave me the 150 points, either. The term "Multiplayer representation" is misleading. Multiplayer means that the other player is actively controlling themselves, which is not the case here. I've changed it simply to "other players".
:* Fair enough. I was focused on templates and did not read that. I've also corrected the prices I added to their non-discounted amount. I still don't know which Café I have, so I'm unsure how to correct the Ranks which you receive each dish.

::Attitude? Come on, my message was about as matter-of-fact as possible. Please don't try to make this personal just because I informed you of your mistakes.
::* I agree that this is a matter of opinion, and as long as I'm not responsible for the choice, I can accept the lack of question marks.
::* You fixed this.
::* You partially fixed this, except for the point values, which you've listed as 75/100 for most phrases, when they in fact have specific values. You will find these if you look at the article as it was before you made your changes.
::** Naming those characters is tricky. They were previously referred to as "avatars of other players". I'd say that "other players" sounds more like they are actually being controlled than "multiplayer representations" does, though, but I'm quite indifferent to what they are called.
::* You fixed this. I thought you identified your Café variation after our exchange at my talk page, but it seems you didn't. Again, look at the NPC fan table, which says Jocelyn wants to open a Café (A). Unless the original contributor made a mistake, that means your Café is variation A. Variation A has Power Lunch A at Rank 1, while Variation B has Power Lunch F at Rank 1. [[User:Yvnr|Yvnr]] ([[User talk:Yvnr|talk]]) 12:46, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

== <code>Learnset:</code> namespace ==

Hey Jo --

What is the purpose of the <code>Learnset:</code> namespace? I've noticed it in my search settings and was wondering if there is anything in there; if not, whether it would ever be used. Once I get autoconfirmed in a few days I will be more than happy to help utilize it. Since you're the Head of Games, and that's where learnsets are typically used, I figured you might know the answer. Thanks, [[User:ChiefbozX|ChiefbozX]] ([[User talk:ChiefbozX|talk]]) 04:21, 20 February 2013 (UTC)
:The Learnsets were going to be given their own pages at one point in time, but the idea was tossed, so there's literally no point to the namespace. Don't worry about it.

== Location Infobox ==

The location infobox as shown [[Miror_B.%27s_Hideout|here on the Miror B.'s Hideout page]] automatically attempts to find a map for the location with the same name as the location (in this case, the non-existent "Orre Miror B.'s Hideout Map.png"). However, the appropriate image would be the map location of Pyrite Town ([[:File:Orre Pyrite Town map.png|this image]]). This leaves two possible solutions, either modifying the template (which could most likely cause all sorts of unforeseen glitches on pages), or creating a page for "File:Orre Miror B.'s Hideout Map.png" that would contain a redirect to "File:Orre Pyrite Town map.png". While the latter seems like the most logical and simple solution, I am simply seeking approval in case creating redirects for each location in Orre to their corresponding map locations isn't desired. --[[User:Nairbnroh|Nairbnroh]] ([[User talk:Nairbnroh|talk]]) 18:47, 28 February 2013 (UTC)

== sourcing voice actors ==

When we source voice actors, what do we have to say other than saying that we talked to them? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:53, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
:Providing a chat log or a believable alibi would be best. A lot of people, myself included, have voice actors on Facebook, so in that case, it'd be best to link to the discussion if it was on a status, or taking a screenshot if it's a private chat (make sure the voice actor's name is visible at least). If a voice actor goes to a convention and you happen to meet them there, that'd be a reasonable story as we can see if the con was recently, if they were at that con, and if it's within a reasonable proximity to the user's location. If you know a voice actor personally, say how you met them, and any extra proof (Facebook friends, a photo of the two of you together, or whatever you're comfortable with) will help validate your relationship with the person.

At the end of the forest, he met Armaldo, who usually would scare off any intruders. However, while Banette and Skorupi fled, Igglybuff was not afraid of him and Armaldo told him about exploring. Igglybuff then solved the puzzle of Armaldo's map in seconds, despite Armaldo working on its secret for a very long time. Igglybuff then convinced Armaldo to go on an exploration to the dungeon revealed by the map, [[Eastern Cave]].

At the end of [[Eastern Cave]], rather than solving the puzzle, Igglybuff chose to obliterate the door with his WOOM-TAH, impressing Armaldo.

{{incomplete|needs=B2W2}}
'''Phenomena''' are a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is a different means of encountering [[wild Pokémon]], and in some cases [[item]]s. There are four types of phenomenon: rustling grass, dust clouds, flying Pokémon's shadows, and rippling water. Some Pokémon can only be obtained via this method. Phenomena will only appear after the {{player}} has the first [[Badge]].

Phenomena will continue to exist if the player moves off-screen and away from the phenomenon (without leaving the area or room entirely), accesses their game menus, or hatches an {{pkmn|Egg}}. They do not vanish until they are entered, unless the player enters an unrelated battle, picks up a visible item, interacts with an [[Non-player character|NPC]], or exits the area or room entirely. They will also vanish if an NPC steps on it. Only one phenomenon will be in the area at any given time. Saving before entering a phenomenon will not preserve the phenomenon upon reset.

Phenomena are distinguished in-game by audio and visual effects; in most cases, they are named for the visual effect shown on-screen when each phenomenon occurs. The audio of a phenomenon reflects the distance between it and the player: if the player is close, the sound will be louder, and if the player is farther away (such as if the phenomenon is off-screen), the sound will be fainter but will also never stop.

==Rustling grass==
[[File:Rustling grass.png|thumb|200px|Rustling grass outside [[Pinwheel Forest]]]]
Rustling grass is a phenomenon that only occurs in [[tall grass]]. Rustling grass allows the encounter of a [[wild Pokémon]]. {{p|Audino}} can be found in any patch of rustling grass. Various other Pokémon, such as the [[elemental monkeys]] in [[Pinwheel Forest]] and [[Lostlorn Forest]] or evolved forms of Pokémon found in non-rustling grass, can be found in rustling grass, but usually at a lower encounter rate than Audino. This phenomenon does not occur in {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, but it does in {{DL|Tall grass|long grass}}.

The '''fifth generation''' of Pokémon, known by fans due to its version names as the '''monochrome generation''', is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. However, unlike previous generations, the games were followed by two sequels—{{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}—instead of a third version. For the first time since [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} (following the internal identification of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} rather than the advertised console), the games were released on the same platform as [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s main series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]].

[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

The Generation V games are able to communicate with the five [[Generation IV]] games in the same way that the [[Generation III]] games can communicate with the Generation IV games, with players able to transfer Pokémon via a method similar to [[Pal Park]]. Pokémon caught in a Generation III game are able to move forward to Generation V by passing through Generation IV games.

Black and White occur an unknown amount of time after [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Machine Part}} makes a {{wp|cameo appearance}}, saying that while he had intended to revive Team Rocket upon returning home, he instead fell in love and had a son. [[Cynthia]] mentions visiting the [[Distortion World]] and being defeated by a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} as Sinnoh League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Black 2 and White 2 occur two years after the events of Black and White.

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No Pokémon from previous generations can be found in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of 92 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of 41 new [[Ability|Abilities]], bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new Abilities, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple Battle]]s and [[Rotation Battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[Double Battle]]s.
* The introduction of the [[Wonder Launcher]], a new battle mode which can stack with double, triple and Rotation Battles.
* The introduction of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, where Double Battles against [[wild Pokémon]] can occur.
* The introduction of [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], occurrences which involve wild Pokémon or items moving and making sounds to indicate their position, somewhat similar to the [[Poké Radar]].
* The introduction of [[seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more realistic and lifelike. There are also curves in places like [[Castelia City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].
* The [[Poké Mart]] is now combined with the [[Pokémon Center]].
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game,{{tt|*|In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 this was changed and players could no longer visit each other}} rather than just inside of the [[Union Room]] or [[the Underground]].
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* [[Weather conditions]] and the current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of [[Poké Ball]], the {{DL|Poké Ball|Dream Ball}}, retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the {{DL|Poké Ball|Sport Ball}} are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game.
* Pokémon now animate constantly throughout battle, rather than simply animating upon exiting a [[Poké Ball]] as in previous generations. These animations are reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}. The speed at which Pokémon move slows as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with most [[status ailment]]s, and {{status|frozen}} Pokémon do not move at all.
* When a Pokémon is affected by a status ailment, in addition to slowing movement, it also glows a color depending on the status ailment (except for sleep). When a Pokémon is {{status|asleep}}, it uses a different sprite that depicts it sleeping, usually with its eyes closed.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but seen from behind.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon on the battlefield has less than 25% of their HP, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* The overworld music also changes in certain circumstances. Almost all the routes now have instruments that differ between the seasons, and layers that activate and deactivate when the player walks or stops, respectively; while music that plays in some towns and cities have layers that can be added by talking to citizens. These people can be seen playing different musical instruments like piano, guitar, etc.
* In the Japanese version of the game, the option to display {{wp|kanji}} in game menus and text is available, in addition to {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} as in the previous four generations.
* In international versions of the game, Pokémon names are displayed with only one capital letter, rather than having all capital letters, as it was prior to Generation V.
* The number of boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] has been increased from 18 to 24. However, players only start with 8 boxes. Additional space is available once the player has placed one captured Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, then receiving an additional 8 boxes for storage, bringing the total to 16. This cycle continues until the player finally has 24 boxes, for a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded from 92 to 95. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs now have infinite uses, like [[HM]]s.
*** To prevent repeated usage of TMs for the purpose of PP restoration, when a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced (up to its own maximum).
* The number of HMs has been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The [[trade|trading]] process has been upgraded: players may now trade Pokémon directly from their [[PC]] boxes, without having to place offered Pokémon in their party first. The [[Global Terminal]] also allows players to trade using this method. Furthermore, players can trade outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] via [[infrared]].
* The expansion of key item registration to include access to several menu screens. After being registered, the player can access a quick access menu by pressing the Y Button.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.
* When Pokémon are sent out, there is a sound effect and visual effect as they land which varies depending on the [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] of the Pokémon (unless it's a Pokémon that stays airborne like {{p|Hydreigon}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} or {{p|Goldeen}}; or it is {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}).

===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the [[Pokéathlon]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* [[Seal]]s and [[Ball Capsule]]s are no longer available for use on [[Poké Ball]]s.
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s appliance forms are now no longer {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; instead, they are {{t|Electric}} and the type of their special move.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] in [[Amity Square|any point of the game]].
* The abandonment of encounter rate differences based on the [[time]] of day.
* The option to have the [[Running Shoes]] on at all times, as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, has been removed.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club}}, there is no longer an option to set all Pokémon at level 100.
* Items are displayed in a list format rather than the six-cell pages that were seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* [[Mixing records]] is no longer a feature.
* The persistent bottom-screen menu from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is no longer present, as that screen now displays the [[C-Gear]]. The menu is brought up on the touch screen in the same way, though, with X.
* The way some [[key items]] are used, such as the Dowsing Machine, has been altered.
* {{status|Poison}} no longer inflicts damage outside the battle.
* [[Badge]]s are no longer necessary in order to use [[HM]] {{OBP|field move|main series}}s.
* The Elite Four no longer have to be battled in a set order.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] no longer sparkle if they break out of a Poké Ball.
* Many Pokémon have their experience yield changed, which is no longer limited to 255.

===Additions in Black 2 and White 2===
* A sequel pair to the primary pair of games, with an all-new story.
* New attractions, such as [[Pokéstar Studios]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Challenge Mode and Easy Mode, which raise and lower the NPC opponents' Pokémon's strength, respectively.
* All opponent Trainers now have fluidly animated sprites that move before battle.

==Region==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|right|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type|Water}}.

==Discussion of Generation V==
===Unova thematic motif===
The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White-- both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Swords of Justice]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The {{pkmn|Dream World}}, which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fit into this theme.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese logo of the Pokémon games was redesigned once again for Generation V's releases; the first logo was used in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], and the second during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]].
** The text for the English boxes also received a new design.
* Generation V introduced the most new Pokémon to the series, with 156 (five more than Generation I introduced).
* Generation V introduced the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with 14.
* Generation V is the first generation since Generation I not to introduce any [[baby Pokémon]] or cross-generational relatives.
** Generation V is also the first generation where the number of [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced did not increase from the previous generation. In this case, Generation V introduced 13 legendary Pokémon, and [[Generation IV]] introduced 14 legendary Pokémon if {{p|Phione}} is a legendary Pokémon or 13 legendary Pokémon if it is not.
* Generation V is the only generation where:
** There is only one [[fishing]] rod—the {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}—as the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} and {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} have been removed.
** The {{game|Black and White|s|primary paired versions}} were released in Europe before North America.
** A single-type Pokémon of every type is introduced.
** The main {{pkmn|professor}} is female.
* Generation V is also the only generation without:
** A new move as an [[HM]]: all six HM moves have previously been available in HMs.
** The introduction of a new [[branched evolution]]: all Generation V Pokémon which can evolve only evolve into one Pokémon species.
** A [[Game Corner]]: this likely is due to changes in European law, which caused the European release of {{game|Platinum}} to lack Game Corner games and caused international versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} to completely alter the Game Corners to feature [[Voltorb Flip]] instead of the traditional slot machines.
** A [[Cycling Road]]: no place in Unova specifically requires the player to ride his or her [[bicycle]].
** All member games occurring at approximately the same time.
** A visit to [[Kanto]] for the player, and the appearance of its regional professor, [[Professor Oak]].
** The introduction of a move that can't be {{m|Sketch}}ed: Generation I introduced {{m|Struggle}}, Generation II introduced Sketch itself, Generation III introduced [[Shadow move]]s, and Generation IV introduced {{m|Chatter}}.
** A solitary [[Version|main series]] game.
** A home console game.

'''Keldeo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケルディオ''' ''Keldeo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Keldeo|second form]], which is activated by triggering an event in the [[Pledge Grove]], where {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}} teach it {{m|Secret Sword}}, and it changes its form permanently as long as it knows Secret Sword. Its original form, '''Ordinary Form''', will then become '''Resolute Form'''.

Keldeo was {{n|Keldeo to be revealed in upcoming CoroCoro|leaked}} on a photo of a page from [[CoroCoro]] magazine on February 13, 2012, and it was officially revealed on [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2012/02/120215_g01.html?a001=news February 15, 2012]. Its Resolute Form was officially revealed June 13, 2012.

Along with {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}}, Keldeo is a member of the [[Swords of Justice]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Keldeo is pony-like, with a large, feathery red mane, long, dark blue, ridged eyebrow-like features, and a single cream-colored horn that is slightly curved. The back of its head, as well as its neck, has light blue-and-white-spotted coloration with spiky edges at the lower portion. Its body is cream-colored, with blue hooves. Its blue-and-white-spotted, lifted and feathery tail is comparable to an elaborate feather in a cap.

====Gender differences====
Keldeo is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Keldeo has the ability to cross water by ejecting water from its hooves. It also changes into its Resolute Form when taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in [[Pledge Grove]].

===Behavior===
Keldeo tends to run about the entire world, running on the surface of seas and rivers.

===Habitat===
Keldeo appears at beautiful watersides.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
Long ago, a fire started in the [[Moor of Icirrus]] because of a war among people. In this fire, Keldeo was separated from its parents, but together, {{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, and {{p|Virizion}} took care of Keldeo. They acted as its parents, and they taught it knowledge and moves for survival. Keldeo eventually grew and even surpassed the three Pokémon. One day, Keldeo took off from the forest with no one knowing why.

When the three meet again, they teach Keldeo the move {{m|Secret Sword}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Keldeo anime.png|thumb|250px|Keldeo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Keldeo (M15)]]====
{{mov|Keldeo|Keldeo|15}} made its debut in the [[M15|fifteenth]] [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', being one of its stars along with [[Swords of Justice (M15)|Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion]] and {{mov|Kyurem|Kyurem|15}}. In the film, it was training to learn how to use {{m|Sacred Sword}} so it could become one of the '''[[Swords of Justice]]''', but arrogantly picked a fight with Kyurem before it had learned the move. Keldeo becomes terrified and flees during the middle of the fight, but is pursued relentlessly by Kyurem, who is determined to finish their battle. Along with the other legendaries present in the movie, Keldeo can [[Talking Pokémon|speak through telepathy]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|220px|Keldeo in its Ordinary Form]]
* As the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]], it shares several traits with them, but is somewhat different in a number of ways:
** Unlike the others, Keldeo is unable to learn {{m|Quick Attack}}. Instead, it is capable of learning {{m|Aqua Jet}}, a [[move variations|variation]] of Quick Attack.
** The moves that Keldeo learns by level have higher base powers than the moves learned by the other Swords of Justice.
** Keldeo learns {{m|Sacred Sword}} one level later than the other three.
** Keldeo is not listed near the other three in [[National Pokédex]] order.
** It distributes {{EV}}s for three different stats ({{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}}) as opposed to a single stat.
** Its legs seem to be stylized after animal legs and hooves, unlike the others, which seem to have boots.
**Keldeo's name doesn't end with -ion.
* Keldeo has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Keldeo, along with {{p|Meloetta}}, are the only {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[legendary Pokémon]] to learn their [[signature move]]s from an external source.
* Keldeo has the lowest base stat total of all event-exclusive legendary Pokémon, excluding {{p|Phione}}, whose legendary status is disputed.
* Its trait of running across water mirrors {{p|Suicune}}, another quadrupedal {{type|Water}} legendary Pokémon.
* Despite Keldeo not being legitimately available in {{g|Black and White}} outside of events, the Legendary Pokémon battle theme and the Swords of Justice intro play when Keldeo is battled in-game via [[cheating]].

===Origin===
Keldeo is most likely based on the legend of the {{wp|kelpie}}, a supernatural water horse that sometimes appeared as a lost pony. Keldeo is also likely based on the {{wp|Qilin|kirin}} also referred to as the "Chinese {{wp|unicorn}}" which are often depicted with a single backwards curving horn and posses the ability to walk on water. Keldeo also draw inspiration by the character of {{wp|d'Artagnan}} from the novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}''. Like d'Artagnan, it is the latest and youngest addition to the group. Keldeo's tail also resembles d'Artagnan's trademark feathered cap.

====Name origin====
Keldeo may be derived from ''kelda'' ({{wp|Old Norse}} for ''spring/fountain'') or may be a combination of ''{{wp|kelpie}}'', (a water horse from Celtic folklore) and ''{{wp|rodeo}}'' (a sport involving skills with horses, cows, and other livestock).
Furthermore, "deo" is Latin for "god".

Talk:Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity

ShadowPikachu126:

Um… what does Magnagate mean? I think it would be important information. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:32, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
:It's an AR thing. You use it to open up new Dungeons, somehow. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:42, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
::Ahhhh… So that is what (マグナゲート ''Magnagate'') means... Augmented reality… Doesn't really make sense… --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:25, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
:::If you're looking for definition, magna is from the Latin word ''magnus'' (great), so it basically means "Great gate". --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 03:47, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
A magnagate is the portal the player uses to go into new dungeons. They just have to be round. Here's a list of things you can use.
Eggs,
Tires,
Balls,
Toilet Paper,
And More! [[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 13:39, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

== Our broken numbering system ==

If we were to number this one, what would it be? We used to have it as:
* MD1 (Red and Blue Rescue Team)
* MD2 (Explorers of Time and Darkness)
* MD3 (Explorers of Sky)

But now, with the WiiWare games (MD4? The true MD3? A spin-off of a spin-off?) and MIL (MD4, MD5, or something else), the numbering has gotten way off. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 13:54, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

* It'll be fine. Since the WiiWare games were not released outside of Japan, I'm gonna call it MD4.{{unsigned|Doggy567123}}
:: However, the WiiWare games were still released in Japan. We currently count Pokémon Stadium (Japanese) as part of the Stadium series. Unless we branch it off for Wiiware games I would say that we try to number it in a way similar to how the main series is grouped by generation. I would say Sky could be moved to MD2 as long as there is a reason for it to stay at MD3. The WiiWare games could be given either MD4 or MDW1 which leaves MIL with either MD4 or MD5. Granted, this still would not be a perfect system. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 03:02, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

== The Final Boss of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth ==

I know what the final boss of the game is, and I can provide a reliable source to prove what the final boss is.

The final boss in PMD 3DS is 氷蝕体, which translates as "Glacial Body" in Google Translate. Glacial Body is not a Pokémon, like Dark Rust in Pokémon Rumble Blast.

There is videos on battling the final boss in the game, here they are if you'd like to see them:

:For now I've started calling the final boss Hyōshokutai, 'cause I cannot exactly confirm that it really means "Glacial Body". Google Translate can make many inaccurate translations. —[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 07:54, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

== Post Town and/or Pokémon Paradise? ==

I'm very confused. Is there both a Post Town and a Pokémon Paradise or is it one or the other? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 05:20, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
:The website appears to be defining Post Town as the area where all of the shops are and the hill where events take place. Pokémon Paradise appears to be defined as the areas near the Pokémon's house that the player builds. In-game they are two different areas, but in the Japanese Version it calls the whole area Pokémon Paradise. [[User:G50|''ㄱ'']][[User talk:G50|''쉰'']] G50 05:24, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

== Plot summary ==

Do we really need the novelization of the Prima guide on this page? The plot summary is much too long: take Black and White's plot summary as a proof of that. I just think it's way too excessive. --[[User:Zoraluigi|Zoraluigi]] ''([[User talk:Zoraluigi|Talk]])'' 04:54, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

== The names of the shops ==

If you use Google Chrome's "View source" option on [http://www.pokemonmysterydungeon.com/gates-to-infinity/en-us/story this page], in hidden comments it reveals the '''English names''' of the shops who's names are "Unknown" and their purpose is "Unknown"; it ''also'' reveals the '''purpose''' of each shop too. Just wanted to point this out so we can ''finally'' add the names and purpose of the shops on it. - [[User:Clubchloe1|'''Club''']][[User talk:Clubchloe1|'''chloe1''']][[Ruby and Sapphire|'''R''']]'''S''' '''DS!''' 17:41, 10 February 2013 (UTC)

== Does the game have WonderMail mechanics? (Answered!) ==

I think a lot of people are trying to wonder if the game accepts WonderMail like the other games?
 
[[User:Pikachu4170|Pikachu4170]] ([[User talk:Pikachu4170|talk]]) 03:11, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

:Update: The game accepts WonderMail codes! I checked the main menu screen carefully and figured out that there is a "WonderMail" selection, so this question is now answered and it's a YES.
:[[User:Pikachu4170|Pikachu4170]] ([[User talk:Pikachu4170|talk]]) 04:01, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

::UPDATE 2: The game does have WonderMail, but is shorter. So old codes will not work!
::[[User:Pikachu4170|Pikachu4170]] ([[User talk:Pikachu4170|talk]]) 00:36, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

:::WonderMail here is not used for rescuing other people... only to receive items apparently. Rescuing other players can only be done through StreetPass now.
:::[[User:Silverhawke|Silverhawke]] ([[User talk:Silverhawke|talk]]) 06:11, 29 March 2013 (UTC)

== Demo version ==

So if you'll notice the demo section of the page was made by me and Dragonhat but I was thinking we could use more info. I'm currently playing and replaying the demo for more and more info... So does anyone think the demo could stand to have its own page? It has text that most likely wont be in the full game and it has so much information I think it could use its own page. So.. What do you all think? Should I go ahead with making it? Believe me it won't be a stub, ill have loads of stuff. --[[User:Cj1227|Cj1227]] ''([[User talk:Cj1227|Need Something?]])'' 03:19, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
:In my opinion, making a new article for the demo might be unnecessary unless we know for sure that there are things in it aren't in the full version, and how many things. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 03:21, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
::Well for an example the little DLC Foongus says: "You'll be able to purchase downloadable content in the full version. Try again then!" And he's not the only one to make comments such as that. --[[User:Cj1227|Cj1227]] ''([[User talk:Cj1227|Need Something?]])'' 03:35, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
:::I don't think that's enough for a separate page. It's just a demo, so of course they would say that. A note on the regular page would be nice. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 03:43, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
::::My main thing was how Magnagates are completely random in the demo. That could give us some good information. --[[User:Cj1227|Cj1227]] ''([[User talk:Cj1227|Need Something?]])'' 03:55, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

== Plot summary is maybe a weeee bit too long ==

Someone put in a lot of hard work there, for sure... but I think perhaps it should be cut down by quite a bit. I would do it myself, but I'd like to get a consensus first before I do anything... and the last thing I want to do is to do one thing when it's clear everyone wants it done another way. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 22:08, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and was released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game. A total of 144 Pokémon appear in the game. Despite this, a maximum of 288 Pokémon can be recruited.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, allowing players to receive prizes based on how well they did on the game.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle is brought along with the player's Pokémon, the obstacle will disappear when the playable Pokémon touches it. {{Type|Fire}} can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, and {{Type|Poison}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud. Ice can be eliminated by {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons, based on a "Mysteriosity" rating. In the main dungeon selection menu and on the Request Boards, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, floors having no rooms and only corridors, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons. If they occur in a mission, the player will be returned to the normal dungeon on the floor of the mission or earlier.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop, or if in a Magnagate dungeon.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it. In [[Mt. Travail]] (DLC), there are tiles that will grant the effect of a Training Seed for the rest of the floor, etc. Mysteriosity aura floors may also have other special tiles.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skill|Team Skills]] replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

Traps can now occur at the entrances to rooms, unlike previous games where the first tile after a hallway was guaranteed to not hold traps.

Enemy Pokémon can evolve if they defeat one of your party members or if you give them a certain item. This often happens in Magnagate Dungeons (and is often a reason to protect your partner, especially in regards to {{p|Rufflet}} evolving into {{p|Braviary}}*)

*Braviary are found in the rooms behind the locked doors that require keys and specific Pokémon types to enter, and are unusually overpowered.

If items are dropped in water, fire, or chasms, they are automatically placed on the nearest path, contrary to previous games where they were submerged or destroyed.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. {{tt|The player chooses the gender of the Pokémon chosen|Japanese version only}}. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, and the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}. Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Team Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Team Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Wheel where Poké can be wagered to change the day's V-Wave. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Ravine Path]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Inflora Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Plains]] and [[Tempting Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Crags of Lament]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Telluric Path]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Great Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacial Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and Frisms, which are capable of storing voices. The partner then tries to record his voice in one of the Frisms, which he succeeds at, and immediately replays his voice by warming the Frism. Virizion finds a Frism with something recorded in it, as Dunsparce warms it up as well. Keldeo's voice is heard from the Frism, as Virizion begins to cry, finding out that Keldeo did make it to the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Redland Reaches]] and [[East Savanna]] dungeons.

After finishing a request or dungeon, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing another request or dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after another mission is done, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Kilionea Road]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Forest of Shadows]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Ochre Quarry]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withered Savanna]] dungeon.

After making it past 17F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the Frisms in the Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Holehills]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, and the partner's voice can be heard from inside of it, confirming that Munna does have the partner with her.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a Frism is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the Frism that had the partner's voice inside realizing that it wasn't the partner's. Instead, it belonged to Munna. Thus, they realized that Munna might have set up a trap. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Scorching Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains that those floating yellow lights are humans going back to human world after being defeated by Kyurem. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Tyrian Maze]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the ([[Glacier Palace - East Tower]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - West Tower]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Bittercold]] lurks. The Bittercold unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Bittercold alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Bittercold, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Great Spire cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Bittercold unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Bittercold attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Bittercold with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Bittercold lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Bittercold will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, and gave the partner's Frism to the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the Frism. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

==Trivia==
* This is the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game to be released without being tied to another game in the series.
* This is the second Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game that the {{player}} can choose their Pokémon, with the first games where the player selected their own Pokémon being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]], unlike the earlier games in the series where a quiz chose the kind of Pokémon the player would be.
* When first meeting {{p|Swanna}} in the English version of the game, she makes a statement that references {{wp|Carly Rae Jepsen}}'s song, "{{wp|Call Me Maybe}}".
* In the Japanese version, players are able to select the gender for their partner Pokémon. In the English version, there is no gender selection.
* The team name that Emolga suggests, "Emolga's Enforcers" is too long for the space provided for team name.
*One of the legendary boss Pokemon, {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be battled as a shiny. When shiny, it has more HP, different moves, and is more powerful in general.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012 and was released in the US on March 24, 2013.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a [[Magnagate]], leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game, though some, such as {{p|Throh}} and {{p|Sawk}}, are oddly left out. Only a handful of Pokémon from previous generations appear in the game. A total of 144 Pokémon appear in the game. Despite this, a maximum of 288 Pokémon can be recruited.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, allowing players to receive prizes based on how well they did on the game.

Hunger is absent from a majority of the dungeons in the game, only appearing in the final three listed dungeons after clearing the story.

At the start of the game, the player starts off at [[level]] 7, but in all ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon'' games prior to this, the player starts off at level 5.

There are obstacles such as a Poison Gas cloud, electricity, flames, vines, and bewitching mist that block the locked doors and certain pathways in dungeons. If a Pokémon of the type of obstacle is brought along with the player's Pokémon, the obstacle will disappear when the playable Pokémon touches it. {{Type|Fire}} can eliminate the flames, {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon can get rid of the electricity, {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon can get rid of the vines, and {{Type|Poison}} Pokémon can get rid of the Poison Gas cloud. Ice can be eliminated by {{Type|Fire}} Pokémon.

When it rains, hails, sandstorms, or is sunny, the player may not heal their Pokémon's HP as they are walking. However, the player can still use items to heal.

[[Wonder Orbs]] may now be used during boss battles. There are no look-alike items in the game.

[[TM]]s may now be used an infinite number of times, just like in the main series.

After the main story-line, auras begin appearing in the dungeons, based on a "Mysteriosity" rating. In the main dungeon selection menu and on the Request Boards, it displays the number of floors that the aura will appear. This number is different every time the player enters the dungeon. This aura comes in a variety of colors and has a variety of different affects. Some of the effects include: Lowering or raising the enemies' speed, only a certain Pokémon appearing on the floor and being the only one encountered on that floor, not being able to recover HP, weather effects appearing, enemies put to sleep, Wonder Orbs not being usable, floors having no rooms and only corridors, and consumable items not being usable.

Mapless Streets and Golden Chambers are also new to the game. Mapless Streets are floors in a dungeon that do not have floor numbers. Once the player returns from the Mapless Street, the floor number they return to will be equivalent to how many floors they were gone for. Golden Chambers contain a variety of different Pokémon and items in certain dungeons. If they occur in a mission, the player will be returned to the normal dungeon on the floor of the mission or earlier.

If the player fails to complete a dungeon, none of the items in the bag are lost. The only time items are lost is if they are defeated by a Kecleon after stealing from the Kecleon Shop, or if in a Magnagate dungeon.

There are certain designs and shapes on the ground that have different effects in dungeons. Yellow star-like shapes allow the Pokémon to attack twice automatically with the same attack when standing on the shape. Eraser-esque shapes on the ground make items that are thrown disappear when the Pokémon is standing on it. In [[Mt. Travail]] (DLC), there are tiles that will grant the effect of a Training Seed for the rest of the floor, etc. Mysteriosity aura floors may also have other special tiles.

Many main story-line dungeons can be entered through other dungeons. Dungeons that had no recruitment during the main story-line have recruitment after completing the main story-line.

Recruited and Partner Pokémon that are not brought into a dungeon still receive experience points when the player completes dungeons. Once the Pokémon are brought into another dungeon, the recruited Pokémon will level up from the experience it had gained without being absent from the group.

Kecleon cannot be defeated if the player steals from a Kecleon shop. Attacks will not work on it. Kecleon also cannot be recruited.

[[Team Skill|Team Skills]] replace [[IQ]] skills that the older games had. Unlike IQ skills, Team Skills that are active affect all of the player's Pokémon. [[Treasure Box]]es can contain new skills after being opened by Rampardos.

Traps can now occur at the entrances to rooms, unlike previous games where the first tile after a hallway was guaranteed to not hold traps.

Enemy Pokémon can evolve if they defeat one of your party members or if you give them a certain item. This often happens in Magnagate Dungeons (and is often a reason to protect your partner, especially in regards to {{p|Rufflet}} evolving into {{p|Braviary}}*)

*Braviary are found in the rooms behind the locked doors that require keys and specific Pokémon types to enter, and are unusually overpowered.

If items are dropped in water, fire, or chasms, they are automatically placed on the nearest path, contrary to previous games where they were submerged or destroyed.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The story begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, the Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both the playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. {{tt|The player chooses the gender of the Pokémon chosen|Japanese version only}}. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called [[Ragged Mountain]]. As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try to figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the [[Post Town]]. A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called [[Stony Cave]].

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the entrance to Pokémon Paradise as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called [[Hazy Pass]]. After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, and the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called [[Stompstump Peak]]. After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}. Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named [[Desolate Canyon]]. After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Team Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called [[Forest Grotto]] for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Team Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, a fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Wheel where Poké can be wagered to change the day's V-Wave. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called [[Ravine Path]] for a mission. That night, the Pokémon has a dream that has sound effects, a small flash, and a large purple flash with shock waves and someone calling out for help. The Pokémon wakes up from the dream, and thinks about what they saw and heard during it after checking on the partner Pokémon. The Pokémon recalls the first dream about Hydreigon chasing a Munna, and wonders if the Munna might be the one asking for help. The next day, the partner Pokémon wakes up and notices that the other Pokémon is still awake.

After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, Dunsparce shows the Pokémon an ice-covered area in the distance. After going through another mission and then waking up the next day, an unknown figure moves through bushes toward the Pokémon Paradise. The moon is shown shining above and through the Pokémon's house. The Pokémon has another dream, this time with a voice calling their name and calling out for help. The next day, the Pokémon explains to their partner about the dream that they had. As they walk outside of their home, a Pelipper drops some papers on the ground. The Pokémon read one of the papers. Quagsire approaches them and hands the Pokémon some Poké. The Pokémon notice that the Pokémon Paradise is now empty. They go into Swanna's store and give it the Poké Quagsire gave to them. {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Herdier}} appear to be very worried about the disappearances.

The mysterious figure from before is again shown moving through the bushes toward Pokémon Paradise. The next day, Dunsparce, Emolga, {{p|Leavanny}}, and {{p|Lillipup}} are at the house when the Pokémon come out. Leavanny and Lillipup are worried about their friend {{p|Swadloon}}. The Pokémon can now go to the dungeon called [[Inflora Forest]]. When they reach the 5F, the Swadloon is seen digging up a red stone and two items with a strange pattern written on them and is shocked by it. The mysterious figure is shown moving through the forest while approaching Swadloon. Swadloon turns around and screams for help, as the mysterious figure attacks. After progressing further through the dungeon, the Pokémon reach Swadloon. The items are no longer by Swadloon. The Pokémon exit the dungeon and reunite Swadloon with Leavanny and Lillipup with them hugging each other.

That night, the sky is shown without the moon, as the partner Pokémon has thoughts about the other Pokémon, as it's sleeping. The mysterious figure from before again moves toward the Pokémon Paradise, but appears very sickly and collapses to the ground. As the Pokémon go outside, a frantic Emolga is there waiting for them. As the Pokémon enter the Pokémon Paradise, several Paradise Pokémon are anxiously waiting outside of Swanna's store. The Pokémon head inside, as the mysterious figure is revealed to be an {{p|Umbreon}}. Umbreon lays on the bed and looks very sick. Virizion recognizes Umbreon and tells everyone all about it. The Pokémon now have access to the [[Breezy Plains]] and [[Tempting Path]] dungeons.

After completing another dungeon, the next day Timburr brings the Pokémon back to Swanna's store to see Umbreon. Umbreon is awake and out of bed but is still not well. Umbreon explains about Magnagates, as a couple of Magnagate cards are shown on the screen. The same cards that Swadloon had discovered in the Color Forest dungeon. After Umbreon's explanation, everyone is shown to have fallen asleep during it. Umbreon is bandaged up, as the Pokémon go outside. Umbreon places the two cards in a square box, as a Magnagate portal opens up. Umbreon explains the Magnagate, and then it closes. The Pokémon have to now go to the dungeon called [[Crags of Lament]] to help Umbreon's friend {{p|Espeon}}.

After reaching the 4F, Espeon is shown moving through the dungeon and responding to a mysterious voice. Espeon looks very hurt as it moves through the dungeon. After reaching the 6F, there is a checkpoint where they can store items and Poké in a treasure box. After reaching the 10F, Espeon is shown barely making it to the top. {{p|Purugly}} corners it, along with {{p|Toxicroak}}. They move in to attack, as the player's Pokémon step in to protect Espeon. The Pokémon battle against Toxicroak and Purugly. After being defeated, Toxicroak and Purugly run away. The Pokémon exit the dungeon, as Umbreon and Espeon are reunited. Swadloon and Leavanny appear, as Swadloon hands over the two other Magnagate cards to Espeon. A flashback is shown of Espeon being the one that approached Swadloon in the Color Forest. Espeon saw that Swadloon had found the Magnagate cards. The Pokémon heard rustling in the bushes, so Espeon ran away and had Swadloon protect the cards. That night, the dark sky is shown as the Pokémon talk about the Magnagate portal prior to going to sleep. A flashback is shown of Umbreon trying to open the portal. The next day, the Pokémon go to check on Umbreon and Espeon, as the other Pokémon appear as well from some hiding spots.

That night after proceeding through another dungeon, Dunsparce looks in the distance, as Virizion comes up to it. Dunsparce becomes startled, but they look in the distance together. Emolga sees them looking out at in the distance. Emolga is shocked, as it hides behind a tree and watches them. The Pokémon all talk about what happened the next day, as Espeon and Umbreon are told about it as well. Dunsparce thinks about what happened between it and Virizion, as a flashback is shown of it. That night after going through another dungeon, the partner Pokémon thinks about what has happened, as it looks at the sky just prior to sleeping. The Pokémon have a discussion with Espeon and Umbreon the next day, as it is found out that they have joined the team.

The Pokémon go up to Umbreon and Espeon, as they get ready to open the Magnagate portal. All of the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon become very excited about it. Umbreon and Espeon put the final Magnagate card in the box, as the portal opens. Espeon and Umbreon enter the portal first, as Virizion, Emolga, and the partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate afterward. Dunsparce is sad that it doesn't get to go, as Emolga pushes Dunsparce into the portal and stays outside of it instead. The Pokémon enter the portal and it disappears, as Emolga is sad to see them go. The Pokémon land at the entrance of a new dungeon called [[Telluric Path]], as Dunsparce is sad that it had to leave Emolga behind.

After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive through the Magnagate portal to a large icy area. The Pokémon look around and notice a large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Great Glacier]]. After completing the Big Glacier dungeon, the Pokémon see another large glacier in the distance. The Pokémon find a circle on the ground, as they have a flashback of Umbreon and Espeon opening the Magnagate portal at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon and Umbreon place the Magnagate cards and the box on the circle, as they open the Magnagate portal again. Streams of light shoot out of the ice, as the Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacial Underpass]]. After completing the Icy Underpass dungeon, the Pokémon see a large icy crystallized mountain from a high cliff. The Pokémon may now enter the dungeon called [[Glacier Palace]].

After passing the 8F, the Pokémon see floating ice crystals and Frisms, which are capable of storing voices. The partner then tries to record his voice in one of the Frisms, which he succeeds at, and immediately replays his voice by warming the Frism. Virizion finds a Frism with something recorded in it, as Dunsparce warms it up as well. Keldeo's voice is heard from the Frism, as Virizion begins to cry, finding out that Keldeo did make it to the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon continue through the dungeon. After the 10F, the Pokémon come to a rest stop where they can store items and Poké. After finishing the 13F, the Pokémon hear a voice in the dark, as a {{p|Golurk}} roars and appears. Two {{p|Cryogonal}} also appear, as the Pokémon have a boss battle with them.

A very cold wind blows by, as the Pokémon keep going. All of the Pokémon except the main playable Pokémon have trouble walking and collapse to the floor. It becomes dark, as a voice can be heard and {{p|Kyurem}} drops down in front of the Pokémon. Kyurem roars, as cold air blows toward the Pokémon. The rest of the Pokémon get back up, as Kyurem doesn't want to fight. Kyurem disappears, as a treasure chest is left behind. The Pokémon open the chest, as it contains many items and a lot of Poké. The Pokémon celebrate about what they have found. The next day, the Pokémon hear Emolga's voice but don't know where it's coming from. They look around and find one of the crystallized rocks from the Glacier Palace dungeon. They realize that the voice they heard was coming from inside of it. The Pokémon find Emolga setting up another crystallized rock, as Emolga is embarrassed. Emolga grabs the crystallized rocks and leaves. Inside of Swanna's store, everyone is asleep. The Pokémon may now go to the [[Redland Reaches]] and [[East Savanna]] dungeons.

After finishing a request or dungeon, the playable Pokémon has a dream where a voice calls out to it while a dream sequence background is shown. The next day, the playable Pokémon tells their partner what happened in the dream, and wonders who could be calling out to them. After completing another request or dungeon, the Pokémon meet up with {{p|Ducklett}} and {{p|Rufflet}} on the top of the hill. They look in the distance, as they see something yellow and shining in the sky. That night after another mission is done, the playable Pokémon has another dream sequence shown. The Pokémon that had been calling out to it is revealed to be a Munna. A flashback is shown of Hydreigon chasing Munna, as they discuss the nightmares. Something happens to Munna, as the playable Pokémon wakes up very startled. It thinks about the dream it had.

The next day, the Pokémon tells the Paradise Pokémon about what happened in the dream. Everyone becomes very worried. The Pokémon meet Umbreon and Espeon on top of the hill, as they open the Magnagate portal. Only the playable and partner Pokémon enter the Magnagate portal. The Pokémon can now enter a new dungeon called [[Kilionea Road]]. After completing the dungeon, the Pokémon arrive at a pond area, as they make a fire and sleep through the night before proceeding. That night, Munna communicates with the playable Pokémon again, as the Pokémon wakes up startled. The playable Pokémon wakes up their partner, who is startled. The playable Pokémon tells its partner about the dream. The Pokémon may now enter the [[Forest of Shadows]] dungeon. After making it through the dungeon, the Pokémon end up in a very dark area. They find a very scared Munna hiding behind a rock.

All of a sudden Munna looks fine, as two Chandelure appear, followed by Toxicroak, four Excadrill, two {{p|Gigalith}}, and a Purugly. The enemies move in, as the playable and partner Pokémon fight the enemies on their own in the darkness. The playable Pokémon is shown running away, as it realizes that its partner is no longer coming along with it. The Pokémon can now enter the dungeon called [[Daybreak Mountain]]. After making it passed the 7F, the playable Pokémon arrives at a tall cliff. Gigalith, Chandelure, and Toxicroak corner the Pokémon. After defeating the enemies in a boss battle, {{p|Salamence}} and two Excadrill appear. The two Excadrill go after the playable Pokémon, as they knock it down. Salamence roars and prepares to finish the Pokémon off, as Hydreigon appears and uses Dragon Pulse to stop Salamence. Hydreigon knocks the playable Pokémon off the cliff, as it surprises the enemies. Hydreigon flies down to get the playable Pokémon.

The playable Pokémon wakes up in a cave-like area and sees Hydreigon. Hydreigon explains that it isn't a bad Pokémon, as the playable Pokémon remembers the dream of Hydreigon chasing Munna and a flashback is shown. Hydreigon appears very excited to see the playable Pokémon. The playable Pokémon remembers the original dream sequence, as a flashback is shown. Hydreigon is angry about something, as a flashback is shown of when shock waves were shown in the dream sequence. A loud roar is heard, as the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon continue on together. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Ochre Quarry]] dungeon. After completing the Yellow Canyon dungeon, the Pokémon proceed to the [[Withered Savanna]] dungeon.

After making it past 17F, Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon rest in a small area near a fire they made. The playable Pokémon remembers when the Pokémon found the Frisms in the Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown. A flashback is also shown of Kyurem's appearance in the Glacier Palace. A flashback is also shown of the Pokémon getting tired and collapsing while walking through the Glacier Palace. The Pokémon move along, as four Excadrill appear and want to attack them. They prepare to battle, as the Excadrill suddenly disappear. The Pokémon proceed to the [[Holehills]]. After reaching the 4F, the Pokémon find a crystallized rock outside. The playable Pokémon warms up the rock, and the partner's voice can be heard from inside of it, confirming that Munna does have the partner with her.

After reaching the 13F, a cut-scene is shown of Chandelure, Toxicroak, Munna, Gigalith, and Excadrill on the cliff-side. Munna and Toxicroak discuss the partner Pokémon, as it's shown to be trapped in a sand cage. Voices are heard, as the playable Pokémon knocks out Toxicroak. The playable Pokémon checks on its partner, but a Frism is in the cage instead. The bad Pokémon ambush the playable Pokémon, as Hydreigon flies down and fires off {{m|Dragon Pulse}} to protect the Pokémon. The playable Pokémon rescues their partner, as they are again ambushed by the enemies on another cliff-side. The Pokémon are rescued by Hydreigon, as Salamence chases after them.

After successfully getting away from Salamence, Hydreigon is completely exhausted. The Pokémon are both relieved to have been rescued by Hydreigon. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding the Frism that had the partner's voice inside realizing that it wasn't the partner's. Instead, it belonged to Munna. Thus, they realized that Munna might have set up a trap. Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon fill the partner in on everything that Hydreigon said about their history. The partner Pokémon is shocked to hear how Hydreigon and the playable Pokémon know each other. The Pokémon head to the [[Scorching Desert]] dungeon. After making it passed the 10F, the Pokémon walk slowly through the desert until Kyurem suddenly appears. Kyurem suddenly attacks and freezes Hydreigon. Kyurem crushes Hydreigon in the ice and Hydreigon disappears with colorful sparkles flying around. Kyurem goes after the playable Pokémon and crushes it several times. Kyurem goes after the partner Pokémon and attacks it severely as well. A couple of white flashes occur and Kyurem gets ready to finish off the playable Pokémon, as its partner steps in to stop Kyurem from attacking. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon looking at the yellow light in the sky from Pokémon Paradise, as Kyurem explains that those floating yellow lights are humans going back to human world after being defeated by Kyurem. Kyurem walks away, as the partner Pokémon checks on the playable Pokémon. Emolga and Dunsparce arrive, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on everything and they head back to Pokémon Paradise.

The Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise are filled in on what had happened, as Umbreon and Emolga are angry about it and everyone else is very sad. The Pokémon decide to avenge their fallen friend. Rufflet goes into Swanna's store, as Swanna tells him what's going on. Herdier, Ducklett, and {{p|Patrat}} find out as well. All of the Pokémon gather in one spot in Pokémon Paradise, as the partner Pokémon fills them in on what the plans are. The Pokémon are shocked and worried by what they heard. The ground begins to shake, as everyone heads to the top of the hill and sees a flying object heading their way. Everyone becomes frightened, as they run away and leave Swanna, the playable Pokémon, and the partner Pokémon behind. That night, the Pokémon grieve and remember Hydreigon that night in the playable and partner Pokémon's home and share concerns about what lies ahead.

{{p|Lillipup}} comes inside, as they head outside and all of the Pokémon lend their support even though they are afraid. Umbreon and Espeon hand the playable Pokémon the Magnagate cards and walk away. The playable Pokémon opens up the portal at the top of the hill, as Emolga, Virizion, the playable and partner Pokémon enter the portal with Dunsparce staying in Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon can now go to the [[Tyrian Maze]] dungeon. After making it past the 11F, the Pokémon arrive at an icy cliff-side. A shadow appears above them, as they look up and see a Glacier Palace floating in the air. Salamence flies down and roars, as two Chandelure also appear. After the bosses are defeated, all three of them collapse to the ground. One Chandelure gets back up and prepares to attack, as Espeon appears and knocks it down. The Pokémon look up at the floating Glacier Palace, as a flashback is shown of the Magnagate portal lighting the way when they were heading to the Icy Underpass dungeon.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Pokémon look out at the Glacier Palace and are worried about the other Pokémon. Swanna calms them down, as they walk away. Meanwhile, the Pokémon take the Magnagate portal to the ([[Glacier Palace - East Tower]] dungeon. Virizion, Espeon, Umbreon, and Emolga enter the dungeon first and then the other Pokémon follow suit. After making it to the 2F, a cut-scene is shown of Umbreon and Espeon continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it to the 6F, a cut-scene is shown of Virizion and Emolga continuing through the dungeon and discussing what lies ahead. After making it past the 12F, Virizion and Emolga become ambushed by six Excadrill and a Purugly. The playable and partner Pokémon arrive, as they have a boss battle. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon continue on to the [[Glacier Palace - West Tower]] dungeon. Meanwhile, a cut-scene is shown of Munna speaking to Kyurem in a dream state. Toxicroak informs Munna about the other Pokémon being defeated.

Back at Pokémon Paradise, Swanna, Herdier, and Dunsparce tells the rest of the Pokémon what is going on at Glacier Palace. After making it past the 3F, a thud is heard and a cut-scene is shown of Espeon and Umbreon continuing through the dungeon. Espeon and Umbreon break through a blue ice door and roll inside. They find Magnagate cards and an injured {{p|Keldeo}} inside. After making it past the 12F, the a cut-scene is shown of the Glacier Palace with a purple cloud above it. It begins to shake, as the Pokémon feel it. The Pokémon get ambushed by Munna, Toxicroak, Chandelure, and four {{p|Gigalith}}. After the bosses are defeated, the Pokémon get back up and try to attack again. A Magnagate portal appears, as Espeon, Umbreon, and Keldeo appear. The ground shakes and the screen goes white, as the Glacier Palace breaks apart.

Munna is very hurt, as everyone is concerned. The playable and partner Pokémon continue on, as Munna's friends are worried about it. Keldeo goes down in pain, as the other Pokémon are very sad about it. The partner Pokémon is exhausted, as they enter the [[Glacier Palace - Great Spire]] dungeon. After making it past the 5F, the partner Pokémon is even more exhausted now. They see a doorway with purple streams surrounding it. Kyurem appears, as they battle it. After being defeated, Kyurem collapses to the ground.

After defeating {{p|Kyurem}}, the player first arrives in the room where the [[Bittercold]] lurks. The Bittercold unleashes a powerful force that greatly weakens the player's partner and falls to the ground. Fortunately the player is unaffected by the powerful force that the Glacial Body exerts, so the player has to fight the Bittercold alone throughout the entire battle. The playable Pokémon moves very slowly toward the Bittercold, as it becomes more and more difficult. All of the Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise and Kyurem yell for the playable Pokémon to keep going and take it down. All of the Pokémon outside of the Glacier Palace - Great Spire cheer the playable Pokémon on as well.

During the start of the battle, the Bittercold will be immune to any damage dealt to it. The Bittercold unleashes three different attacks each time the playable Pokémon tries to attack. After using several attacks, the battle stops and the Pokémon realizes that it can't attack. The dark purple cloud above Glacier Palace continues to swirl around, which scares the Pokémon Paradise Pokémon, as the Bittercold attempts to plunge the world into darkness. The playable Pokémon hits the Bittercold with its head, which reveals its red core. The playable Pokémon hits it again, as the Bittercold lets out sparks and shock waves, before falling. The darkness around the palace disappears and shines, as a small rainbow appears above it. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise are shown again, which they notice that the darkness has disappeared from the palace and then having another bit of a discussion. But then the screen switches back to viewing the palace again, where the darkness comes back around the palace again. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise continue to cheer the playable Pokémon on. The screen then switches back to the player, where the real battle begins.

The playable Pokémon is able to now attack and defeat it. The Bittercold will shatter and explode, as the darkness disappears from the Glacier Palace Crystal Tower once again. Then the player's partner will get back up again, the palace starts to crack and break apart and palace also starts falling from the sky. The Pokémon in Pokémon Paradise become very worried about everyone in the palace. The playable and player Pokémon end up in a different colorful area, as Kyurem appears and roars. The Pokémon end up back at Pokémon Paradise. Espeon, Umbreon, Emolga, Keldeo, and Virizion are glad to see that they are okay. Dunsparce appears and is also relieved. The Pokémon go to the hill, as they see the rainbow in the sky. Hydreigon's spirit suddenly appear, which shocks everyone. Gurdurr, Swanna, and Quagsire appear and are happy to see everyone, as they inform the rest of the Pokémon. All of the Pokémon cry and are very happy that everyone is okay.

The Pokémon have a fire and celebrate. The Pokémon also celebrate in Swanna's shop. Hydreigon speaks to the playable Pokémon at the top of the hill, as a flashback is shown of the partner Pokémon speaking to it earlier. The next day, the playable Pokémon thinks about its partner, as it walks outside. A flashback is shown of them confronting Gurdurr in the Heat Haze Pass dungeon, and them beginning to build Pokémon Paradise in the beginning. The playable Pokémon goes back to the hill and speaks to Hydreigon again and becomes surrounded by a yellow orb, as they float into the sky. The Pokémon float around and look down on the Pokémon of Pokémon Paradise. The Pokémon look to the sky, which surprises the playable Pokémon. They continue floating toward the sky and keep looking down at the Pokémon, as they then look out at the large rainbow in the sky.

Hydreigon floats down, and gave the partner's Frism to the playable Pokémon. The partner Pokémon, Espeon, Dunsparce, Virizion, Umbreon, Quagsire, Swanna, Gurdurr, Herdier and Emolga speak to the playable Pokémon through the Frism. Again a flashback is shown of the playable and partner Pokémon talking and being happy in front of their house. A flashback is shown of everyone watching the playable Pokémon and Hydreigon float to the sky. The playable Pokémon begins to cry, as the credits begin to run with a scene of the rainbow, the playable Pokémon floating, and an overhead view of the world being shown.

==After the main story-line==
The player starts out as their partner Pokémon for several days until they complete the [[Worldcore]] and make a wish for their playable Pokémon to return. The player decides whether to return or not and evolution may not happen until they return to Pokémon Paradise. After the player returns to Pokémon Paradise and completes one dungeon, both Pokémon and recruited Pokémon may now evolve if the player chooses to evolve them inside of dungeons. The leading Pokémon may also be changed as well.

==Shops==
As with past [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games this game features shops. [[Kangaskhan Storage]] has been removed in favor of a storage chest next to Kecleon Shop that serves the same function, known as the Deposit Box. There is also one in the [[Pokémon Paradise]], and they can be used to store money and items, as well as building materials and treasure boxes. Like in the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, items are collective and are grouped based on item type rather than being individual items.

As the player progresses throughout the game, they can change the town by adding new shops to their own personal liking; similarly to [[Join Avenue]] from {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

*[[Kecleon Shop]]: As in previous titles, [[Kecleon]] runs this shop. The player can buy general goods here.
* Treasure Shop: {{p|Rampardos}} runs this shop. Like {{p|Xatu}}'s shop from the previous games, the player can open treasure chests they find here.
* Glorious Gold: {{p|Cofagrigus}} runs this shop. The player may exchange Gold Bars (found on Sparkling Tiles in dungeons) for various items or money.
* Gift shop: {{p|Cinccino}} runs this shop. The player may purchase recruitment gifts here with various items and Poké.
* DLC shop: {{p|Foongus}} runs a small DLC shop next to Cofagrigus's, where the player may choose to return to the main menu and purchase DLC dungeons.
* Scraggy's Savvy Moves: {{p|Scraggy}} runs a small shop in the Pokémon Paradise. The player and their teammates can remember and forget moves here.
* Quagsire's shop: {{p|Quagsire}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and has both a shop and a place for you to organize your party members.
* Victini's V-Wheel: {{p|Victini}} runs a station in the Pokémon Paradise, and allows you to change the V-wave of that particular day. You can spin the wheel once a day.

* {{p|Gurdurr}}: Helps with the building of new shops in Pokémon Paradise, has an injury on his back that causes him to the life of a scammer, till his fathful Timber, and the player convince him to become a carpenter again
* {{p|Scraggy}}: After helping Gurdurr gives up scamming, Quagsire punishes him by making him run the move tent. He constantly insults the player until he realizes Quagsire is right next to him, and says it again nicely.
* {{p|Virizion}}: A lone explorer, the towns people constantly fawn over her. She doesn't want to have friends or trust Pokemon, but the player, and partner convince her to join their team.

== Demo ==

The game demo was released on the Nintendo eShop on March 7, 2013 in the US.

The demo follows the storyline as usual, but the player will not be able to explore Hazy Pass or any locations afterward. However, Magnagate dungeons can still be played, but the player will not be able to save dungeons to be replayed later and Magnagates will not change based on size or color of objects. Any game progress, money, and items in storage in the demo version can be transferred to the full version. Additionally, some characters break the [[fourth wall]] by saying the feature will be available in the full version.

The demo software can be used a maximum of 30 times.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}

'''Pokémon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターピカチュウ|Poketto Monsutā Pikachu}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Pikachu''), often known as '''Pokémon Yellow Version''',  and also as '''Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition''', is the third Pokémon game for [[Game Boy]] released worldwide, as a [[Version|follow up]] to and expansion on {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red and Blue Versions}}. In Japan, the game was the fourth Pokémon game released, as a follow up to {{game|Red and Green|s|Pocket Monsters: Red & Green}} (Japanese: {{tt|ポケットモンスター赤・緑|Poketto Monsutā Aka Midori}}) and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Pocket Monsters: Blue}} (Japanese: {{tt|ポケットモンスター青|Poketto Monsutā Ao}}), intended to buy [[Game Freak]] time to rework on the then-upcoming {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions}}.

Similar to Red and Blue, Yellow arrived towards the end of the Game Boy's lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of second best-selling non-bundled game for its console, losing only to its predecessors.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, {{player}}s are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player now journeys from [[Pallet Town]] to go through an all-new experience—with no {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{t|Water}} types to fall back on until each member of the [[Kanto]] starter trio is given to the player later on, about a quarter of the way through the game.

Much like before, players journey across Kanto from their hometown, Pallet Town, defeating the eight [[Gym Leader]]s ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].

[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Beyond these changes, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as of the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}.

==Blurb==
You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer's license]], and now you're on your way to becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} [[walking Pokémon|tags along]] behind {{Player|you}} as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!

==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The front Pokémon sprites have all been updated to resemble how they appear in their then-current [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork usually used in promotional images and strategy guides for the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}, and the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}, as well as some of them resembling how they appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The back sprites are the same as the previous games.
* Some [[Trainer]] sprites were also redone. {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} now better resemble their stock artwork for [[Generation I]], as the Pokémon sprites do. [[Brock]] wears an outfit like his {{an|Brock|anime counterpart}}'s and [[Misty]]'s bikini was changed to a shirt and shorts similar to those worn by {{an|Misty|hers}}, albeit without suspenders.
* [[Kanto]] is slightly redesigned a second time, featuring different designs for doors, signposts, windows and other minor elements. The biggest overhaul was performed on [[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, where the layout was once more changed.

===Location changes===
Obtaining the starters from the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as from the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}} is possible through in-game events:
* A girl in [[Cerulean City]] will give the {{player}} a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s [[friendship]] is high.
* A boy at the north of {{rt|24|Kanto}} gives the player a {{p|Charmander}}.
* An [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Vermilion City]] will give the player a {{p|Squirtle}} after the {{Badge|Thunder}} has been acquired.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[Starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can have and [[Walking Pokémon|travels with the player]] on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the previous three [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.
** Furthermore, no other wild Pikachu can be found, thus requiring the player to trade a Pikachu from another [[Generation I]] game or [[Generation II]] game to obtain another one. A traded Pikachu will also not behave like the starter Pikachu, acting as a regular Pokémon instead (even to the point of being able to evolve with a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Thunderstone}}), unless it matches the [[Original Trainer]] and [[Trainer ID number]] of the player.
*** Another Pikachu with the same Original Trainer and Trainer ID number as that of the player can be obtained by cheating. However, it will only behave like the starter Pikachu if the original one is released. Furthermore, if one of the new Pikachu is released, the Pikachu behaving like the starter will have a disappointment face for a limited period of time.
** The [[cry]] of the starter Pikachu, or any Pikachu with the same OT and Trainer ID number of the player for that matter, is changed to "''Pika!''" when going in battle, "''Chaaaaa!''" if it faints, or "''Pikachu!''" on the status screen, instead of the original {{p|Pikachu}} cry.
** The rival will eventually [[Evolution|evolve]] his Eevee (and thus affect which are the other members of his party) depending on the player's actions early in the game:
*** If the player beats the rival at both the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory]] and the early optional battle at {{rt|22|Kanto}}, Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}.
*** If the player loses one of these two battles or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}}.
*** If the player loses at Oak's Lab, and loses or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}.
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Level]]-up learnsets and [[TM]] compatibility are altered slightly for certain Pokémon. {{p|Charizard}}, for example, can now learn {{m|Fly}} via [[HM02]].
* A minimal [[friendship]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player and Pikachu will refuse to evolve. This would later be revamped in [[Generation II]], where the system is vastly improved and applies to all Pokémon.
* [[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
**Brock's Pokemon have had their levels decreased by 2.
**Misty's pokemon didn't change.
**[[Lt. Surge]] team is changed so that he now has a level 28 Raichu.
**Erika now has a level 30 Tangela, and level 32 Weepinbell and Gloom.
**Koga now has three Venonat, levels 44, 46, and 48. He also has a level 50 Venomoth.
**Sabrina now has a team composed up of Abra evolution line at level 50.
**Blane has a level 48 Ninetales, a level 50 Rapidash, and a level 54 Arcanine.
**Giovanni has a level 50 Dugtrio, a level 53 Persian, a level 53 Nidoqueen, a level 55 Nidoking, and a level 55 Rhydon.
* Enhanced compatibility with the {{nw|Game Boy Color}} is present outside of Japan, providing color palette changes as the player switches locations, whereas the Japanese version is similar to the previous [[Version|main series]] [[Generation I]] games in where it only has {{nw|Super Game Boy}} support. The ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]] was also implemented in every regional release.
** The Super Game Boy palettes used for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} sprites are also lighter.
* Several [[glitch]]es were disabled, and all [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered because the data which was read incorrectly to create them had changed.
* A {{m|Surf}}ing Pikachu minigame, [[Pikachu's Beach]], is included. However, to play this the player will have to first teach {{p|Pikachu}} {{m|Surf}}, which requires the use of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.
* The location and availability of some [[Wild Pokémon]] allows the player to experience the game in a manner similar to the anime.
** In the anime, {{Ash}} catches a {{p|Caterpie}} and a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. This is reflected in-game as Caterpie (but not {{p|Weedle}}) and Pidgeotto are both available in Viridian Forest for the player to catch. This is the only instance in [[Generation I]] where a Pidgeotto can be caught at a level earlier than {{p|Pidgey}} would evolve into it.
** The Pokémon that [[Team Rocket]] use ({{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Meowth}} and their evolutions) are not available to be caught in the wild. It would be unlikely that Ash would catch these Pokémon in the anime as they are the primary antagonists.
** Wild Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} are not available, as Pikachu is the player's starter Pokémon (furthermore, it is unlikely that Ash would catch another Pikachu or a Raichu).

===Storyline changes===
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme, and typically appear before the {{player}} battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage as well as two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s: one close to the exit of [[Mt. Moon]] and the other one near the entrance to the President's room at [[Silph Co.]] Curiously, they are never referred to by their individual names and share their [[Trainer class]] with any other Team Rocket Grunt, possibly due to [[Double Battle]]s not being implemented until much later in [[Generation III]].

===Pokémon unobtainable in Yellow===
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the previous [[Generation I]] games, or from the [[Generation II]] games, which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the {{game|Red and Green|s|Japanese Green}}, and thus in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Blue}} as well. "'''{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}'''" indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}.

==Connectivity==
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a {{nw|Game Boy}} [[link cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2. While battling another player's Pokémon team had been possible since the release of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} two years before Yellow's release, Yellow introduced several regulations in Colosseum 2 mode. Battle modes introduced include the [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50), [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6'8" (2m), and weights less than 44.1 lbs (20 kg) only) and [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon's Levels cannot exceed 155. {{p|Mew}} is not allowed). These three cups would later become standard cups in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Stadium}}.

==Reception==
Like {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, Yellow was also well received by the press. Like its predecessors, it received a perfect 10/10 "Masterful" rating from IGN.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/012/012045.html IGN: Pokemon Yellow: Special Pikachu Edition] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, it was criticized as being "just a stopgap to help us wait for the {{game|Gold and Silver|s|real sequels}}".<ref>[http://reviews.cnet.com/legacy-game-platforms/pokemon-yellow-game-boy/4505-9882_7-30965879-2.html?tag=txt;page Pokemon Yellow (Game Boy) Legacy game platform reviews - CNET Reviews] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Yellow received a slightly lower average score than Red and Blue of about 85% on GameRankings. Despite this, it was the site's top rated [[Game Boy]] game in the year of its release, 1999.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gameboy/198314-pokemon-yellow-version-special-pikachu-edition/index.html Pokemon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition for Game Boy] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Comparison to the anime==
The game is loosely based on the original anime series, but has several differences:
* [[Brock]] does not surrender during the [[Pewter Gym]] battle and does not accompany the {{player}} thereafter.
* [[Misty]] is first encountered in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, she had left the Gym when {{Ash}} met her.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} are acquired from tasks. In the anime, Charmander is rescued from heavy rain, Squirtle merely follows Ash, and Bulbasaur was caught.
* {{p|Meowth}} can use {{m|Pay Day}} and does not speak in the game.
* Bulbasaur and Squirtle are able to evolve in the game.

==English title==
[[File:Pokemon Yellow Version.jpg|thumb|200px|An English version game cartridge of Yellow]]
While the game's title has become widely accepted as simply ''Pokémon Yellow'', its officially recognized name outside of Japan is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' replaces the series' then-current slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]'' below the Pokémon logo, while ''Yellow Version'' is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' is repeated on the box's opening and spine.

Despite this, the instruction manual refers to the game as "the Yellow version of Pokémon", the {{ga|Red|player}} has the option of being called Yellow, following the trends of the other versions, and ''Yellow Version'' can be seen on the game's title screen. [[Pokémon.com]] refers to the game as ''Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition'' in full, but ''Pokémon Yellow Version'' and ''Pokémon Yellow'' in general usage.<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-yellow-special-pikachu-edition/ Pokémon.com - Pokémon Yellow Special Pikachu Edition]</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Yellow}}

==Trivia==
* The opening of Yellow features the fewest number of Pokémon out of all main series games, fittingly showing ''only'' {{p|Pikachu}}.
* {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, which reimplemented the [[Walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in Yellow, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after it was released in Japan.
* This is the only [[Generation I]] game in Japanese where a message describing the current progress of a [[saving|save]] in course appears, unlike the international versions, where such behavior is present in all games of the [[generation]].
* Yellow is the first game to allow the {{player}} to walk into the [[Tall grass|grass]] without any Pokémon, though [[Professor Oak]] intervenes after taking two steps into the grass; the second being {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The two available starter Pokémon of this game, {{p|Pikachu}} ({{ga|Red|player}}) and {{p|Eevee}} ({{ga|Blue|rival}}), are the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation V]] to evolve with a {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Thunderstone}}.
* Out of all the [[Version|main series]] [[Generation I]] games, this is the only one where {{p|Lickitung}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}} can be caught in the wild; in the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}, these Pokémon are only available by means of an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]].
* It is the only localized game prior to [[Generation III]] to lack the [[Gotta catch 'em all!|slogan]] below the Pokémon logo.
* Yellow is the only main series Generation I game to feature a different localized title in all non-Japanese releases rather than using the translation of its Japanese title.

===Starter-related trivia===

* Yellow is the only main series game where the player cannot choose their own starter Pokémon.
[[File:Spr Y Red Pikachu.png|thumb|right|Pikachu's status screen in Pokémon Yellow.]]
* Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}} are the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to be {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}.
* Pikachu had its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart for this game only. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is the only main series starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game in which it is a starter Pokémon.
* Pikachu is the only main series starter Pokémon that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
* Pikachu is the only main series starter Pokémon that can be received by the {{player}} that can also be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}}.
* Pikachu is the only main series starter Pokémon that is not in its base evolutionary form. However, this wasn't true during the [[Generation I|generation it was a starter in]], as {{p|Pichu}}, its pre-evolved form, wasn't revealed until [[Generation II]].
* Eevee is the only main series starter Pokémon to not be part of a three-stage evolutionary family.
* Eevee is the only main series starter Pokémon to gain a new evolution in another generation.
* Eevee is the only main series starter Pokémon to have a branched evolution.
* Eevee is the only main series starter Pokémon that cannot be picked by the player.
* Eevee is the only main series starter Pokémon not to be the main starter Pokémon of a main character in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

== Spinarak was NOT an "American TCG League" creation ==

I removed this line: "Spinarak was created through a children's Pokémon design activity in the American TCG League." '''There was no such event, ''period''.'''

And just in case someone here THINKS it may have been the case, apart from the fact that the news from [ my site] during that time doesn't list ANYTHING about it, consider the following: Gold/Silver was released in Japan on November 1999, while the Pokemon TCG had been released in the US around March 1999. Wizard's Pokemon Leagues themselves started in 2000 (its 7th Season, if I recall correctly, began in June or July 2000)... which was AFTER the release of Gold/Silver in Japan. Even then, I'm pretty sure what Pokemon would be in Gold/Silver would have already been pinned down by the time the TCG was first released in the US by Wizards. Now it's not to say that maybe it was a design activity for JAPANESE card game players. But it CERTAINLY wasn't something for the American leagues.

Finally, I'm also fairly certain that whoever posted that bogus info in the article prolly based it off [ THIS] short ''fiction'' story. Doncha just love it when people post stuff without thinking about it? Oy. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 09:59, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

'''Fly''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|そらをとぶ|Sora wo Tobu}}''' ''Fly'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM02]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation I====
On the turn that Fly is selected, the user will fly up high, where the only attacks it cannot avoid are {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Swift}}, and {{m|Transform}}. On the following turn, Fly will inflict damage, PP will be deducted from it, and it will count as the last move used. Once Fly is selected, the user will be unable to switch out unless Fly is disrupted or fully executed.

If Fly is not fully executed, PP will not be deducted from it, and it will not count as the last move used. If the opponent uses {{m|Mirror Move}} during the turn that the user flies up high, Mirror Move will copy the move that the user executed immediately before using Fly (or fail if it cannot).

Full {{status|paralysis}} and self-inflicted damage due to {{status|confusion}} will disrupt Fly. Additionally, if the user is fully paralyzed during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, it will not be reset until the user switches out or fully executes Fly.

From {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and on, Fly will allow the user to avoid {{m|Bide}}. Full {{status|paralysis}} will reset the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly. {{m|Mirror Move}} will copy Fly on either of the turns it takes to execute.

====Generation II====
The user can now also be hit by {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Whirlwind}} during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and will receive double damage from Gust and Twister, unless the flying Pokémon would not receive damage from the moves.

The user may also be hit in the air if it was previously targeted by {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}}, and then struck the following turn. Swift, Bide and Transform no longer hit on their own during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

====Generation III====
The user can now also be hit by {{m|Sky Uppercut}} during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

====Generation IV====
Same as Generation III, however, the base [[power]] has [[List of modified moves|increased]] from 70 to 90. The user is now unable to avoid moves used by Pokémon with the Ability {{a|No Guard}} during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly, and unable to avoid moves if it has No Guard.

If a [[Power Herb]] is held by the user, Fly can be executed in one turn.

====Generation V====
The user can now also be hit by {{m|Hurricane}} during the semi-invulnerable turn of Fly.

Fly can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.

===Outside of battle===
Players can fly to select spots they've been to; other than the [[Johto Battle Frontier]], which can automatically be accessed after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.

The player usually lands outside the entrance to the area's [[Pokémon Center]], or another equivalent spot if the area lacks a Pokémon Center.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{SSB|Pokémon Trainer|Charizard}} uses Fly as its Up Special move. It cloaks itself in fire as it rotates in the air while gaining height, damaging nearby enemies. It acts as a recovery move for returning to the stage.

==Trivia==
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Salamence}} dive into the ground on the second turn of Fly.
* As of [[Generation V]], Fly is one of four [[HM]] moves that can be learned by leveling up; the other three are {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Waterfall}} and {{m|Dive}}.
** Fly is the only one of these four moves that is an HM in all generations.
* Many Pokémon which are noted for their ability to fly over long distances are unable to learn this move, such as {{p|Yanmega}}, which is easily capable of transporting an adult in flight according to its [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold}}.
** Likewise, many Flying types cannot learn this apparently due to their size ({{p|Drifloon}}) while their evolutions can, while others can learn it despite their size (such as {{p|Pidgey}}, which are 1'0").
* {{p|Doduo}} and {{p|Dodrio}} are both able to learn Fly, despite being based on flightless birds.
* Until Generation III, the only Pokémon able to learn Fly (with the exception of {{p|Mew}}, who can learn any TM and HM move, and {{p|Smeargle}}, due to {{m|Sketch}}) were Flying-type Pokémon.
* Despite the abundance of {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon, none of these can learn Fly.
* Fly cannot travel between even the closest of areas in [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], despite being able to fly over either of the regions. This is most evident at [[Mt. Silver]] and {{rt|27|Kanto}}. However, in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, any area in either region can be flown to from [[Indigo Plateau]] and {{rt|26|Kanto}}.
* In ''[[PS173|The Last Battle VII]]'', [[Chuchu]] used balloons to protect [[Pika]] and [[Gold (Adventures)#Pichu|their Egg]], lifting them in the air as a {{DL|Pikachu variants|Flying Pikachu}}.
*Despite {{p|Crobat}} using Fly in Crossing Crobat in the Gold and Silver Chapter based off of Generation Two, Crobat and its evolutionary line couldn't learn Fly until Generation 4.
**Likewise {{p|Charizard}} couldn't learn Fly until Pokemon Yellow and {{p|Dragonite}} couldn't learn it until Generation 2.

'''Cameron's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''コテツのルカリオ''' ''Kotetsu's Lucario'') is the first Pokémon that {{un|Cameron}} is shown to have. It tends to walk around [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

==History==
[[File:Cameron Riolu.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Riolu]]
Lucario first appeared as a {{p|Riolu}} with its Trainer in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''. They revealed that they had come to enter the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] only to find out that it had already ended, much to Cameron's displeasure. Later, Cameron and Riolu revealed to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that they planned on entering the Unova League, but only had seven Gym Badges.

In ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'' Cameron and Riolu joined Ash and his friends to travel to the [[Humilau Gym]] so Cameron could get his final Gym Badge. After getting lost and separated from {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}, Riolu, Cameron, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{an|Meloetta}} fled into a cave to shield themselves from the pouring rain and stayed there for the night. Later, they met [[Marlon]], the Humilau Gym Leader, who took them to the Humilau Gym so that Cameron could have his Gym battle. Although Cameron wanted to use Riolu in the fight, he accidentally left it on the side, forcing him to use his other Pokémon to defeat Marlon. Afterwards, Riolu and Cameron went their separate ways from Ash and his friends.

Later, Riolu reappeared with its Trainer at [[Vertress City]] where they camped out near the building where the [[Vertress Conference]] was being held. After Cameron revealed he forgot to enter in the tournament, Ash dragged the two to the building to register. In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Riolu was used against [[Bianca's Emboar]] in the Vertress Conference. Despite the much larger size of its opponent, Riolu was able to gain an advantage by using {{m|Circle Throw}} to use Emboar's weight against it. Emboar quickly regained the advantage in the fight, but Riolu countered by copying its moves with {{m|Copycat}}. Eventually, Riolu defeated Emboar with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, making Cameron the victor of the battle.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', Riolu defeated [[Kenton]]'s {{p|Gigalith}}, which allowed Cameron to progress to the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

In [[BW107]], Riolu was used against [[Ash's Unfezant]] in the Vertress Conference. Despite being at a disadvantage, Riolu easily defeated the Proud Pokémon. Next, it faced [[Ash's Snivy]] and managed to quickly overpower her. However, Snivy made a comeback and countered all of Riolu's attacks, eventually sending it back with a powerful {{m|Leaf Storm}}. This caused Riolu to evolve into a {{p|Lucario}}, making it much stronger. [[BW108|The battle continued]], and Lucario was able to use its new strength to easily overpower Snivy before knocking her out with its newly-learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Lucario then battled with Ash's Pikachu. The damage Pikachu took from battling {{p|Samurott}} and {{p|Swanna}} quickly put him at a disadvantage, causing Lucario to defeat Pikachu with Aura Sphere and win the battle for Cameron.

In the semi-finals, Cameron found himself up against [[Virgil]] and his team of [[Eeveelution]]s. The final battle came down to between Lucario and Virgil's {{p|Flareon}}; however, Lucario had already been weakened by Virgil's {{p|Espeon}} and was quickly finished off by Flareon's super effective {{m|Fire Blast}}, eliminating Cameron from the competition.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Cameron and Riolu.png|right|thumb|250px|As a Riolu, with Cameron]]
Since its debut, Lucario was shown to be annoyed by its Trainer's carelessness. Despite this, it is friendly, and gets along well with other Pokémon as well as with its Trainer, which can be attributed to the fact that it evolved from Riolu, who evolves from friendship. In battle, Lucario is a very powerful fighter, and was able to take down opponents much larger than it even as a Riolu, such as [[Bianca's Emboar]] and [[Kenton]]'s {{p|Gigalith}}.

'''Cameron's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''コテツのルカリオ''' ''Kotetsu's Lucario'') is the first Pokémon that {{un|Cameron}} is shown to have. It tends to walk around [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

==History==
[[File:Cameron Riolu.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Riolu]]
Lucario first appeared as a {{p|Riolu}} with its Trainer in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''. They revealed that they had come to enter the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] only to find out that it had already ended, much to Cameron's displeasure. Later, Cameron and Riolu revealed to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that they planned on entering the Unova League, but only had seven Gym Badges.

In ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'' Cameron and Riolu joined Ash and his friends to travel to the [[Humilau Gym]] so Cameron could get his final Gym Badge. After getting lost and separated from {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}, Riolu, Cameron, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{an|Meloetta}} fled into a cave to shield themselves from the pouring rain and stayed there for the night. Later, they met [[Marlon]], the Humilau Gym Leader, who took them to the Humilau Gym so that Cameron could have his Gym battle. Although Cameron wanted to use Riolu in the fight, he accidentally left it on the side, forcing him to use his other Pokémon to defeat Marlon. Afterwards, Riolu and Cameron went their separate ways from Ash and his friends.

Later, Riolu reappeared with its Trainer at [[Vertress City]] where they camped out near the building where the [[Vertress Conference]] was being held. After Cameron revealed he forgot to enter in the tournament, Ash dragged the two to the building to register. In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Riolu was used against [[Bianca's Emboar]] in the Vertress Conference. Despite the much larger size of its opponent, Riolu was able to gain an advantage by using {{m|Circle Throw}} to use Emboar's weight against it. Emboar quickly regained the advantage in the fight, but Riolu countered by copying its moves with {{m|Copycat}}. Eventually, Riolu defeated Emboar with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, making Cameron the victor of the battle.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', Riolu defeated [[Kenton]]'s {{p|Gigalith}}, which allowed Cameron to progress to the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

In [[BW107]], Riolu was used against [[Ash's Unfezant]] in the Vertress Conference. Despite being at a disadvantage, Riolu easily defeated the Proud Pokémon. Next, it faced [[Ash's Snivy]] and managed to quickly overpower her. However, Snivy made a comeback and countered all of Riolu's attacks, eventually sending it back with a powerful {{m|Leaf Storm}}. This caused Riolu to evolve into a {{p|Lucario}}, making it much stronger. [[BW108|The battle continued]], and Lucario was able to use its new strength to easily overpower Snivy before knocking her out with its newly-learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Lucario then battled with Ash's Pikachu. The damage Pikachu took from battling {{p|Samurott}} and {{p|Swanna}} quickly put him at a disadvantage, causing Lucario to defeat Pikachu with Aura Sphere and win the battle for Cameron.

In the semi-finals, Cameron found himself up against [[Virgil]] and his team of [[Eeveelution]]s. The final battle came down to between Lucario and Virgil's {{p|Flareon}}; however, Lucario had already been weakened by Virgil's {{p|Espeon}} and was quickly finished off by Flareon's super effective {{m|Fire Blast}}, eliminating Cameron from the competition.

'''Flame Burst''' (Japanese: '''はじけるほのお''' ''Flame Burst'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Flame Burst deals damage. All Pokémon (including allies and the user if applicable) adjacent to an allied Pokémon hit by Flame Burst in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s will lose 1/16 of their maximum HP in typeless effect damage. This secondary effect will not occur if the target absorbs the primary attack with {{a|Flash Fire}} or the attack misses.

Since the secondary damage is typeless, it will not trigger Abilities like Flash Fire or {{a|Color Change}}. Furthermore, being effect damage, it bypasses things like {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Wide Guard}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{a|Wonder Guard}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{a|Telepathy}}, {{a|Mold Breaker}}, accuracy and evasion, but is prevented by {{a|Magic Guard}}.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Heatmor is a bipedal, anteater-like Pokémon. It has a beige face while the rest of its fur is red with yellow stripes sharing appearance of molten lava. On its lower abdomen, back, and underside are raised, beige colored bands which resemble pipes, leading to its tail. Its claws, on both its feet and hands, are a dull yellow and on its wrists are raised, dented bands; both the wrists and feet are beige-colored. Its tail is dented upward and has a hole in it, similar in appearance to a {{wp|muffler}}. It also seems to serve the same purpose as a muffler, being able to expel gases.

None.

===Special abilities===
Heatmor can burn {{p|Durant}}'s shells to eat them with its high-temperature tongue. They inhale through their tail while Heatmor blazes with an internal fire.

===Behavior===
Its method of devouring Durant is to "cook" the Pokémon while it is inside its own metal shell by breathing fire on it.

===Habitat===
Heatmor lived in Victory Road where their prey, Durant lived but after he landslide of Victory Road the Pokemon moved to Twist Mountain with the Durant.

==Trivia==
* Currently, all other Pokémon that remain {{t|Fire}} type normally can learn {{m|Overheat}}, ''except'' Heatmor. The reason for this is unknown.
* Heatmor being the natural predator of {{p|Durant}} is reflected in their [[type]]s.
* Heatmor, along with {{p|Torkoal}}, are the only non-legendary {{t|Fire}} types that have no evolutionary relatives.
** Coincidentally, both of them are the only Pokémon to have {{a|White Smoke}} as one of their Abilities.

===Origin===
Heatmor seems to be based on an {{wp|anteater}} with elements of {{wp|flamethrower}}s and {{wp|ironworks}}. Its wrists resemble {{wp|gun barrel}}s and its tail is similar to a car's {{wp|muffler}}.

====Name origin====
Heatmor may be a combination of ''heat'' and ''armor'' (referring to the armored appearance of its fur) or ''{{wp|mortar}}'' (referring to its typing and barrel-like arms). It may also be a play on ''eat more'', as in to "eat more {{p|Durant|ants}}."

Kuitaran may be a combination of アリクイ ''arikui'' (anteater) and ''anteater'', specifically the ''an'' and ''tar''. It may also derive from the reverse of نار ''nār'' (Arabic for ''fire'').

==Trivia==
* Currently, all other Pokémon that remain {{t|Fire}} type normally can learn {{m|Overheat}}, ''except'' Heatmor. The reason for this is unknown.
* Heatmor being the natural predator of {{p|Durant}} is reflected in their [[type]]s.
* Heatmor, along with {{p|Torkoal}}, are the only non-legendary {{t|Fire}} types that have no evolutionary relatives.
** Coincidentally, both of them are the only Pokémon to have {{a|White Smoke}} as one of their Abilities.

===Origin===
Heatmor seems to be based on an {{wp|anteater}} with elements of {{wp|flamethrower}}s and {{wp|ironworks}}. Its wrists resemble {{wp|gun barrel}}s and its tail is similar to a car's {{wp|muffler}}.

====Name origin====
Heatmor may be a combination of ''heat'' and ''armor'' (referring to the armored appearance of its fur) or ''{{wp|mortar}}'' (referring to its typing and barrel-like arms). It may also be a play on ''eat more'', as in to "eat more {{p|Durant|ants}}."

Kuitaran may be a combination of アリクイ ''arikui'' (anteater) and ''anteater'', specifically the ''an'' and ''tar''. It may also derive from the reverse of نار ''nār'' (Arabic for ''fire'').

==Trivia==
*Despite its name and resemblance to the {{wp|spider}}, Spinarak lacks the 8 legs required to be a true {{wp|arachnid}}.
*Spinarak and its evolution {{p|Ariados}} are the only {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn {{m|Night Shade}}.
*Spinarak was originally purple in {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} games. This is not the case in {{v2|Crystal}} and later generations.
**However, its original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork is green. Its coloration in Gold and Silver could be attributed to its only appearing at [[Nocturnal Pokémon|night]].
* Spinarak can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Ledyba}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Spinarak is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold|s}}, while Ledyba is exclusive to {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Silver|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|SoulSilver|s}}. Spinarak are nocturnal, while Ledyba are matutinal. Additionally, their rarity is also reversed, with Spinarak being more common in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, and Ledyba in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}. Both were also added to the expanded {{safari|Hoenn}} in {{v2|Emerald}}, and both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl,|s}} {{v2|Platinum}}, {{game3|Black and White|Black, and White|s}}. Additionally, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]] its {{p|Ariados|evolution}} swarms on {{rt|22|Unova}} while {{p|Ledian|Ledyba's evolution}} does so in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|White 2]].

===Origin===

'''Cameron's Lucario''' (Japanese: '''コテツのルカリオ''' ''Kotetsu's Lucario'') is the first Pokémon that {{un|Cameron}} is shown to have. It tends to walk around [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

==History==
[[File:Cameron Riolu.png|thumb|left|250px|As a Riolu]]
Lucario first appeared as a {{p|Riolu}} with its Trainer in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]''. They revealed that they had come to enter the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] only to find out that it had already ended, much to Cameron's displeasure. Later, Cameron and Riolu revealed to {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} that they planned on entering the Unova League, but only had seven Gym Badges.

In ''[[BW094|The Road to Humilau!]]'' Cameron and Riolu joined Ash and his friends to travel to the [[Humilau Gym]] so Cameron could get his final Gym Badge. After getting lost and separated from {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}, Riolu, Cameron, Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{an|Meloetta}} fled into a cave to shield themselves from the pouring rain and stayed there for the night. Later, they met [[Marlon]], the Humilau Gym Leader, who took them to the Humilau Gym so that Cameron could have his Gym battle. Although Cameron wanted to use Riolu in the fight, he accidentally left it on the side, forcing him to use his other Pokémon to defeat Marlon. Afterwards, Riolu and Cameron went their separate ways from Ash and his friends.

Later, Riolu reappeared with its Trainer at [[Vertress City]] where they camped out near the building where the [[Vertress Conference]] was being held. After Cameron revealed he forgot to enter in the tournament, Ash dragged the two to the building to register. In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Riolu was used against [[Bianca's Emboar]] in the Vertress Conference. Despite the much larger size of its opponent, Riolu was able to gain an advantage by using {{m|Circle Throw}} to use Emboar's weight against it. Emboar quickly regained the advantage in the fight, but Riolu countered by copying its moves with {{m|Copycat}}. Eventually, Riolu defeated Emboar with {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, making Cameron the victor of the battle.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', Riolu defeated [[Kenton]]'s {{p|Gigalith}}, which allowed Cameron to progress to the Top 8 of the Vertress Conference.

In [[BW107]], Riolu was used against [[Ash's Unfezant]] in the Vertress Conference. Despite being at a disadvantage, Riolu easily defeated the Proud Pokémon. Next, it faced [[Ash's Snivy]] and managed to quickly overpower her. However, Snivy made a comeback and countered all of Riolu's attacks, eventually sending it back with a powerful {{m|Leaf Storm}}. This caused Riolu to evolve into a {{p|Lucario}}, making it much stronger. [[BW108|The battle continued]], and Lucario was able to use its new strength to easily overpower Snivy before knocking her out with its newly-learned {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Lucario then battled with Ash's Pikachu. The damage Pikachu took from battling {{p|Samurott}} and {{p|Swanna}} quickly put him at a disadvantage, causing Lucario to defeat Pikachu with Aura Sphere and win the battle for Cameron.

In the semi-finals, Cameron found himself up against [[Virgil]] and his team of [[Eeveelution]]s. The final battle came down to between Lucario and Virgil's {{p|Flareon}}; however, Lucario had already been weakened by Virgil's {{p|Espeon}} and was quickly finished off by Flareon's super effective {{m|Fire Blast}}, eliminating Cameron from the competition.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Cameron and Riolu.png|right|thumb|250px|As a Riolu, with Cameron]]
Since its debut, Lucario was shown to be annoyed by its Trainer's carelessness. Despite this, it is friendly, and gets along well with other Pokémon as well as with its Trainer, which can be attributed to the fact that it evolved from Riolu, who evolves from friendship. In battle, Lucario is a very powerful fighter, and was able to take down opponents much larger than it even as a Riolu, such as [[Bianca's Emboar]] and [[Kenton]]'s {{p|Gigalith}}.

==Trivia==
* Lucario is the first confirmed walking Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to evolve since [[Misty's Togetic]].
* The Japanese airdate of [[BW107]] which features Riolu's evolution fell on the same week as the English airing of ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', its debut appearance.
*Lucario cannot have the move set it currently has because it could only get [[Circle Throw]] if its father was a [[Throh]], but could only have [[Vacuum Wave]] if its father was a [[Hitmonchan]]
