==Cinnibar==
It's quite possible that Cinnibar is a part of the Sevii Islands, as Midway Island, for instance, is technically a part of the Hawaiian chain. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 19:26, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

==Shinnou==
Where did that information come from that Shino is based on Hokkaido? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 02:35, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:Because, you gotta look at the released Corocoro scans from this month ==[[User:Jason|Jade]] 2.56pm, 14 June 2006 (AEST)

::And what do you know about Japanese geography, eh? Could be Hokkaido - but the mountain chain makes me suspect Hokuriku - which is on the west side of the Japanese Alps. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:22, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

:::To anyone who wishes to edit this page so as to state that Hokkaido has been confirmed - learn Japanese beforehand and refrain from counting on unofficial web sites. CoroCoro only referred to Shin'ō as an island similar to Hoenn - that leaves Shikoku and Hokkaido. It is plain to see that the map, which has been largely revealed to us, takes the shape of Hokkaido. It is for this that some web sites such as Filb.de claim it to be based on Hokkaido as if it were confirmed.

:::Unlike Zhen Lin, I am absolutely confident in the veracity of Hokkaido. Even so, the correct wording is to be used at the very least until a full map has been obtained. Hoenn was confirmed to have been modeled after Kyūshū not long after Ruby and Sapphire had seen release. That said, Sevii Islands and Orre have thus far remained in the realm of speculation - but at least we have the resources provided by the games. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]]

== About the real world locations mentioned section... ==

some of these things just have to go. The Fantina dialogue thing doesn't really have anything to do with it since that only happened immediately before the battle, not when you first encounter her at the contest hall or after you beat her. Besides, she could have just been using a fake accent. I mean, [[Blue (Game)|Blue]] was using a french accent when he fought you on the St. Anne, and the last time I checked, he never visited France or anything, never spoke in that accent prior to it, and immediately dropped the accent right after you beat him. Also, i doubt that an Indian elephant should count towards a real world location (maybe real world animal, but definitely not a real world location.)

anyways, thats all for now.

~~Weedle Mchairybug~~

Actually Fantina says something about moving to Hearthrome(spelling might be wrong) City before the battle.I am not sure but I think that backs up that she is from France

~~Starfire~~

Just because she said that she moved to hearthrome city doesn't necessarily mean that she was from France. I mean, if she explicitly stated that she was from France (or canada, even), then yes, that would have merit. But she never really said where she moved from. she only gave a vague mention of another country. I mean, for all we know, she could have just as easily come from the Orange or sevii Islands (I think of the Sevii Islands as an entirely seperate place than an actual region considering how it and Kanto seem to have somewhat of a feud before you arrived that wouldn't be of this scale if it was a region.], or Heck, even Orre (they seemed to imply through a news report in colosseum that it has entirely different regions due to the fact that they mentioned that several regions were attacked by [[Shadow_Pokemon|Abnormal Pokemon]], and since Kanto/Johto/Hoenn never even referenced being attacked by them, that seems to imply that it is an entirely different country in and of itself.).

I mean if you wish, go ahead, but I just want to say that I'm not too sure about that. I mean, if she was explicitly said to have come from france (like the Trainer dex in Pokemon FRLG said about Lt. Surge [I don't count the "Lightning American" thing as evidence that he is American since Some of the Gym Leaders were given similar nicknames even though they really don't have any corollation with each other (Tomboyish Mermaid, Elegant Princess, among others comes to mind [Misty's not a mermaid because she doesn't have a fish tail, she doesn't sit on rocks to comb her hair {her hair is very short, anyways}, and she never really stated that she was a Mermaid or related to them. As for Erika, she never really said that she was related to any royal family.].).].) then, yes, Go on ahead.

But since she never really stated that she was from France (her speaking french doesn't count since 1. she seemed to be faking it since the only time she ACTUALLY spoke french was when you meet up with her, which she drops when she is close to losing, and 2. Even IF she was actually able to speak french, that doesn't mean she is from France. remember, Canada, Jamacia as well as some african countrys speak French as part of their language.), we shouldn't say that she was from France.

== Deoxys reference ==

The "North Pole" doesn't necessarily have to be a reference to a real-world location. Every planet has a north and south pole. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 20:02, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

== Antarctica or North Pole? ==

I'm confused. I could have sworn that Deoxys landed in Antarctica, yet this article says it's the North Pole. Could someone clarify? [[User:JirachiWishmaker0802|Jirachi]][[User talk:JirachiWishmaker0802|Wishmaker0802]] 10:59, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

:It's possible different tellings of the franchise have different landing spots for Deoxys. For all we know, had [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] reached Hoenn, Deoxys could have crashed in downtown {{wp|Honolulu, Hawaii}} in that telling. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 14:35, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

::You know, I think we should eliminate it from the references section, as the term "North pole" doesn't necessarily hint at Antartica. Besides, Antartica isn't even the North Pole, if anything, it's more the exact opposite term. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 00:21, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

==Could someone update the map?==

Almia should be included, as it's attached to Sinnoh. {{unsigned|LynnCreed}}

no almia's place should not be part of the main map because it is just a side game. almia should be in a "side game's map". Maybe that small part will be part of another generation game! do you have absolute proof from the developers of the game? i think not! plus if there is no mention of the national pokedex, then almia is in a different nation. since the main games are one nation, most likely the geography is influenced by japan, there are no separate nations inside what is similar to japanese land. you cannot be too sure until it is 100% proven. plus almia is just a small area of land similar to most things to the world right now. it can be part of the area of northern africa and mediterranean sea. also the games state that they are far away from the main pokemon games. {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}

== Game Systems ==

Would that be a reference to the real world because they are made in the real world? {{unsigned|Midnight Blue}}

== {{wp|Harlan County, Kentucky}} ==

In my sperpetic,Oreburgh reminds me around my home County, Harlan County , also the mines.[[User:LucarioWolf|The Aura Wolf !!!!]] 23:03, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:Your what?--[[Flash Fire (ability)|freezing]][[Heat Wave (move)|COLD]] ([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:04, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
::Lots of places have mines. He means ''perspective''. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 23:06, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:::There's pretty much no chance that a Japanese game is referring to your home county. There are many more notable mining areas, many in Pennsylvania, for example. I'm sure there's even more in Japan that are more likely. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|10% Satisfaction Guaranteed!]] 23:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
::::True, but then again, the Metal Gear series was a Japanese game (it was made in Japan, and was originally intended to be Japanese exclusive), and yet most of it's locations were anywhere BUT Japan (In fact, the only REAL Japanese references that was in the MG games was Master Miller, Akiba, "Kuwabara, Kuwabara", and the Tsuchinoko from "Snake Eater", which is pretty lacking anyways.). Heck, Sootopolis's geography was inspired by Santorini, Greece. For all we know, Harlan County could have served as a minor inspiration. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 00:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
:::As someone from Bullitt County, Kentucky, I'm going to have to say that such a claim is silly. We have had some form of confirmation on every other consistency. Until TPC comes out and says, "Yeah, it's totally our intention that Oreburgh be based on a county in the eastern part of a state in the US that we have almost assuredly never heard of," it's just very erroneous speculation.

== Map with Almia ==
I've made a map with Almia included. I think it's better to use this one
File:Pokemonworld.png
--Furanty 17:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I think we should keep the almia part blank.It's not even part of the main series obviously. or we could make maps of the main series and the other series separate. spinoff regions does not always relate to the main regions. Almia might be a parallel to india for all we know! plus almia does not look like it is on that part of japan but more on the southern part of sinnoh. {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}
: Note that the game with Almia mentions that Shinoh is nearby (hence the choice to send the Manaphy egg there). --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] 23:10, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

== Pepe Toño Macías ==

On latinamerican dub, James' voice actor always names a real world city (mostly latin-american, but some famous world cities are mentioned to) on Team Rocket's Motto, replacing the earlier "y extender nuestro reino hasta las estrellas" with "y extender nuestro reino a [real world city]". Most latin-american capital cities has been named as well as many other important cities like Córdoba (Argentinian seconds), Acapulco or Cancún (Mexican strongest tourist region), Punta del Este (famous uruguayan city), Viña del Mar (Chilean city who host one of the most sponsored music shows on the region), etc.

He is also the main reason to include many differents countries slangs to the whole Team Rocket, mostly mexican ones because of where the dub is translated. {{unsigned|Mephisto}}

== Other Articles? ==

Is there a reason all this information is listed only here, and not on the locations individual pages? Personally I think it is relevant Trivia that, for instance, Mt. Silver is based on Mt. Fuji. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 05:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
:It's listed on some of them, mainly the regions. Sure it's interesting trivia, but we don't want the articles to be made of 100% trivia. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:21, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
::True, but in some cases wouldn't you say it's relevant? For instance, Ecruteak City is based on Kyoto (not mentioned in Ecruteak's article at the moment), both cities are very old and have a lot of history. Kyoto is famous outside Japan- I'd hazard a guess at it being the second most well known Japanese city. Kyoto's history contributes to Ecruteak's role in the games. Wouldn't you say that's relevant? Violet City being based on Nara is, perhaps, less relevant, and wouldn't be very meaningful to most people using the wiki, so things like that perhaps could be skipped. But I definitely think that at least Mt. Silver/Fuji and Ecruteak/Kyoto are worth mentioning. I want to say something regarding Tokyo too, but the matter seems pretty complicated since there's no single Tokyo analogue.

::Also, just a passing thought, is it worth maybe mentioning the opposite- for places like Pacifidog town- that they are lacking in real world analogue? [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 04:59, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

==Regarding Hoenn==

Actually, I've done some of my own research into the correlation between Hoenn and its real-life counterpart and would like to argue that Rustboro is a much better candidate to counterpart with Fukuoka than Rustboro. The region (according to wikipedia which is the source I used) is known for its industrial and steel works, which seems pretty analogous to Rustboro's Devon Corp.

Also, Lavaridge matches up to Ōita much better than Fallabour. Ōita is closer to Beppu, the hotspring region. It's possible that whoever said Lavaridge was Aso got the two Hoenn Cities mixed up, because looking at the map of Kyushu, they're the other way around.

Kagoshima could possibly be Lilycove, as it's a bay city with a small round island in the port, which could be analogous to Mt. Pyre.

I'm not sure who wrote up the Hoenn cities part of the article, but I'd definitely argue that they didn't look closely enough at a map of Kyushu or of Hoenn, as some of them match up to other cities much better than the ones listed. Sorry to seem like a jerk, but I've done a LOT of reading online about this and it's too bad the Bulba article isn't better. I'll edit the article eventually, I'd just like a reply here first.
[[User:AutumnRain|AutumnRain]] 18:12, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
:Sure, show us what you got. And I completely agree... Rustboro is a much better candidate than Rustboro ;) You may want to doublecheck that :D —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:18, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

''Why'' are they based off those areas? Was it stated in an interview, or is there a mountain of evidence that cannot be swept aside as coincidence? Some reasoning would really help this article, and without it the whole page just seems to lack any real information, which is why I don't feel it should be Featured. I also agree with Umeko's suggestion for side-by-side comparison images, but we should definitely limit them to things that, without a doubt, can be visually-comparable.

A lot of it though, is where things are located in Japan and the anime, as seen on that map at the top of the page.

People like knowing ''why'' things are the way they are, not just that they are. Considering the mantle of "fan speculation" is already applied to this article, then we should feel free to add more of it without worry. Now, there should be standards. There should be no doubt that there are correlations between one thing and another, and no "logical" jumps or rationalizations. The towers have the same appearance, purpose, and general history as real-world counterparts... So that could easily be considered a fact and should be elaborated on a bit. Where Orre is, for example, should have options and reasons for and against each one. This article can definitely be improved, but how is something we need to figure out.

Should the sections in the various tables marked for comments be for notes on the real-world counterparts, as is currently done, or should we only write comments if there's some similarity other than geography to note between the Pokémon world and real world?

== Map of Side Games ==

I know that the side games are more difficult to place, as far as true geographic regions go (if they even exist), but in the article itself, it mentions Orre as "[bearing] striking resemblance to the Gunma Prefecture of Japan in shape, which would place Orre north of Kanto and Johto." I think this is relevant to include on ''a'' map, although it doesn't have to be the one at the top of the page.--[[User:Lamb|Lamb]]''([[User talk:Lamb|talk]])'' 21:29, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

we should keep a map of the side games separate from the map with the main games. side games are not really canon with the main games. {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}

::Just because they're canon (which is, I believe, debatable) doesn't mean they all correspond to locations in Japan like the others.

:::lets just separate the maps then. the region on where the side game's area is on might be filled in by a later generation's region, the side game's region might not be in japan because they look like most other areas in the real world and the side region is not part of the main games. even though you can get manaphy in pokemon ranger does not mean that that game is canon. it just means that you can get manaphy from that game. Question- how does almia fit next to sinnoh? almia looks nothing like the tail of hokkaido which is sinnoh's real world counterpart. Almia does not look like it is in the south part of sinnoh either.

==Orre Section Revamp==
I'm sorry, but the section on Orre DEFINITELY needs work. so far it has only three locations listed, and those are listed with the presupposition that Orre is in fact based on a region of Japan. I did some research into Arizona and the surrounding area and found some more noticeable parallels.

Phenac City is obviously based on Phoenix, Arizona, for the reasons listed in the article already.

Mt. Battle could be based on Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona. While it's not a volcano like Mt. Battle, neither is the Gunma Prefecture of Japan a desert. That said, Humphreys Peak also lands in the right place relative to other locations.

Pyrite Town could be based on Yuma, Arizona, which formerly housed a large prison facility (which fits in with both the Pyrite Town jail and the high crime rate in that section of Orre).

Agate Village was hard to find, but I eventually settled on the little town of Oatman, Arizona. Oatman lies right along Route 66, and, as with many towns along that route, has seen better days. While it doesn't appear as fertile as Agate Village, I thought the history of this mountain town fit in with the fact that the population of Agate Village is mostly elderly, with the young moving to the cities instead.

In terms of locations from XD, I widened my search to include locations not specifically in Arizona. I placed Gateon Port at the well-known city of San Diego, California.

Citadark Isle seems to correspond with Isla Guadelupe, a volcanic island off the coast of Baja California.

I don't know how this should be incorporated into the article, but I do believe at least some of this information needs to go there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

:Yes, Gunma Prefecture isn't a desert, but then again, Floaroma Town isn't a flowerfield in real life, it is a desert. Anyways, I also don't recall Arizona being so barren that animals are even scarcer than water (which in Orre, apparently Pokémon actually are that scarce, at least in Colosseum.). I do doubt that it's near the Gunma Prefecture, but I also doubt that its supposed to be Arizona. Also, even going beyond Arizona, most of the locations don't match up. Citadark Island is on the opposite side of the real life location. Not to mention that San Diego isn't anywhere near that location. Maybe the old Colosseum map might have been based off of Arizona, but going by XD, it's not based off of Arizona or even the Southwestern United States/Mexican area, for that matter. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 22:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

::My bad about XD locations; I don't have the game, so it's hard to verify where they go (especially based on the few low quality Orre maps you can find). But nonetheless, the Orre section needs to change or be removed. The similarities listed are a real stretch (Outskirt Stand based on an archaeological site? I doubt it.), and besides, I thought Fiore's section was removed because it was a side game location. Should the same be done for Orre, perhaps with Phenac City moved to the section on non-Japanese influences? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:03, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

:: there are no major deserts in japan (if you count the tottori sand dunes then yes but they are in the south of japan). if the fiore section is removed because it was a side game then we should remove orre. plus the state of arizona is not bordered by an ocean or something large like that water area near gateon port {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}

I like how it's been aligned so the regions look more like they do in the games, but technically Hoenn's box should be a lot bigger. That southwestern island chain includes such places as Naha (the inspiration for Ever Grande City), Yonaguni (the inspiration for the Sealed Chamber), and Yaebishi (the inspiration for Mirage Island). In other words, Game Freak curled that island chain around to compress the region into a smaller space, likely for gameplay reasons. Also, it would tickle me pink for the map to include the Sevii Islands, although that might be trickier. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 14:10, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

::First of all, you should sign your comments with four tildes (~). But in regards to the map, it's wonderful!

== some edits ==

As we are following Revised Hepburn as a standard for romanizations in listing the locations, "Oshima" (under Sevii Islands, Knot Island, prefecture) should be spelled "Ōshima", "Nakoudojima" (under Sevii Islands, Memorial Pillar, specific location) should be "Nakōdojima", and "Meiji no Mori Minoo" (under Johto, National Park, specific location) should be "Meiji no Mori Minō".

There is also "Chubu" (right under Johto) in stead of "Chūbu", "Honshu" (right under Hoenn) in stead of "Honshū", and "Hokkaido" (right under Sinnoh) in stead of "Hokkaidō", as well as a lot of other non-Hepburn romanizations in the comment section (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Oshima, Hokkaido, etc.) alongside the Hepburn ones (Kantō, Tōkaidō, Kyūshū, Hōryū-ji, etc.). I guess non-Hepburn is acceptable, as it is standard in everyday English use (mainly important cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto), but I think it would probably be better to choose either one.

== Hoenn ==

Having lived in Kyushu for about a year, I have gone around and visited some of the approximate locations that correlate with Hoenn. It would seem that the Kurokawa onsen town is correct for Lavaridge. It's southwest, at the base of Mt. Chimney, as Kurokawa Onsen is northwest in Kyushu.

Beppu seems to be the best match for Fallarbor town. The whole town is rife with geothermal activity with steam rising up all over the urban area. While it has hot springs like Aso town, there are also other forms of geothermal activity such as steam vents. Which I would assume the crater in Fallarbor is supposed to represent.

In terms of Meteor Falls, it appears that it isn't just one source of inspiration, but many. Oita prefecture is famous for both waterfalls and limestone caves. As inspiration for the cave setting, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Furen Cave. [http://www.furenshonyudo.jp/] So it would seem that Meteor Falls is a combination of both the waterfalls and limestone caves found in the Oita prefecture.

On a final note, it looks like Sootopolis City is shaped more like Yakushima Island. Ever Grande city is currently compared to Yakushima, but it seems inaccurate. As Yakushima is circular, and closer in relation to Sootopolis than Iwojima. Ever Grande city is shaped more like Okinawa Island when comparing the two. Just my two cents on what might need correction in the Hoenn section. And I'd be happy to know what everyone else thinks.

==Cerulean City RL Counterpart==
In the table featured within the article, Cerulean City is said to be based on the real world Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Saitama City was not officially a city until 2001, several years after the 1st generation games. Cerulean was a city before Saitama existed as a city.

While you could then say that Cerulean was based on what was to become Saitama City, the geographical locations don't match either. With Maebashi and Mt Akagi (Pewter and Mt Moon) being way up in Gunma Prefecture, the scale of the map is huge. As Cerulean is much further East, but no further South, to put it down in Saitama Prefecture at all seems like a gross misplacement. The real-world counterpart would be much further East.

This makes me think it's actually a city called Tsuchiura, in Ibaraki prefecture.

Aside from this being a far more likely and accurate geographical correlation, Tsuchiura has many other points of relevance for Cerulean. Tsuchiura is famous for its massive abundance of lotus root; these plants grow and bloom in man-made lagoons - they are floating blooms. Cerulean is also mentioned as a "seaside" city, despite not being quite as far East as the sea; Tsuchiura sits right next to lake Kasumigaura, the second biggest lake in Japan, and has a seaside feel as a result, despite, as with Cerulean, not being quite as far East as the actual sea. The area that joins onto Tsuchiura, to the North East, is called Kasumigaura, possibly the inspiration for the gym leader (Kasumi) Misty. Misty's gym is located towards the bottom of Cerulean City, and Tsuchiura also has a huge gymnasium, including a complex of swimming pools and water park type features, which is located towards the bottom of the city. There are a couple of rivers that run through Tsuchiura, the largest being the river Sakura. The trainer bridge could also potentially correspond to the bridge that links Kasumigaura with Kasumigaura Fureai Land, although this is a little more speculative.

I'm aware that I could be wrong, but a great many things do seem to fit, or show a heavy similarity of being a match of some kind. Feel free to agree or disagree, but let me know what your reasons are for doing so. [[User:Cloud210|Cloud210]] ([[User talk:Cloud210|talk]]) 11:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

If you compare a map of the [http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/europe/channel-islands/map_of_channel-islands.jpg Channel Islands ] and [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8a/Kalos_alt.png Kalos] I think you will see that the 2 bigger green ones are Jersey and Guernsey, the little one is Sark and Sea Spirit's Den is Alderney. It is probably worth noting that historically the islands were part of Normandy (Northern France).

Another thing, it says that Jersey is part of the UK, this isn't correct. Jersey (and the other channel islands) have a complex relationship with the UK but they do not form part of it.

== edit war ==

You may have noticed the edit war between myself and Ratchet and Clank 1995, he/she is wrong. {{wp|British Islands}} is a legal term that unambiguously refers to the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey (the latter two are collectively the Channel Islands), as the wiki article says. He/she is right that the Channel Islands are not part of Great Britain/UK, which is why I changed it from UK to British Islands in the first place. (Originally he said he changed it because they were not part of the {{wp|British Isles}}, he/she may be right geographically but the term british isles is often used to include the channel islands)

While they are not technically part of the UK, Channel Islands are still 'British'. The inhabitants are entitled to a British passport, the queen is head of state, and the UK has responsibility for the defence and international representation of the islands. This is note worthy because they are the only non-French part of Kalos (although historically the islands were part of Normandy - Northern France). However, due to complicated reasons, it is incorrect to say they are part of the UK. 'British Islands' may be an unusual term, but it is correct and conveys that they are British without getting into complicated politics.

== Snowbelle ==

Likening Snowbelle City to Grenoble seems pretty unlikely as Grenoble is further south than Lyon, which is commonly accepted to be Kiloude City. It seems a lot more likely that Snowbelle is supposed to be Besançon or one of the surrounding cities such as Montbéliard, Dole or Lons-Le-Saunier, considering the region is known for cross-country skiing in the Jura mountains as well as freezing weather in the winter (the region of Jura is sometimes affectionately called "Little Siberia"). The general location fits, as well. [[User:Rappy28|Rappy28]] ([[User talk:Rappy28|talk]]) 17:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
:I was the person to link Kiloude City to Lyon and I still believe this to be correct, one reason why I linked it was the fact that Lyon is just slightly North of the Gironde estuary which its Pokémon counterpart can be seen on the Kalos map so they seem to match. You have made a valid point that Grenoble is too far south so I agree with you and that Snowbelle cannot possibly be based on Grenoble's location. I would say go ahead and change Grenoble to Besançon as it does seem to fit and the fact that it's called "Little Siberia" could go in the notes section as it actually seems relevant.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 18:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

== Kenya ==

I'm tired of seeing all of you edit warring over something so small without anyone bothering to open a discussion, so instead I'm starting a discussion on it. Personally, I don't see the problem with adding something on the end along the lines of "Kenya is also the name of a mountain in the country of Kenya, Mount Kenya, from which the country derives its name." I don't think it would hurt to add a small line on like that, especially considering that it is in fact where the name originates. Yes, the Spearow is probably named after the country, but the country itself is named after the mountain. '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 13:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

::To point out even more, 4 users total were involved in the discussion, with 3 of the 4 agreeing that the country is the first (if not only) thing most people would think of.

:::::::Thinking about it, after all of this discussion you have only been able to say it is "most likely the country" and haven't provided any evidence to say that it actually certainly does mention the country. As there is no certain way of knowing whether it actually mentions the country it should be left out because the Spearow just has a nickname which has been a name in the USA since the 1960s whereas all of the other points has a character actually say a place. By this logic of "most likely" couldn't we say Ash's Charizard is most likely male because of its relationship with Charla and the fact that homosexual and bisexual Pokémon have not been confirmed to exist in the anime. If we go by that logic Charizard's page should just say it's male. Ask random Pokémon fans what gender they think Charizard is and they probably all think male. This site seems to have it both ways in the case of genders it has to be explicitly stated whereas in this instance it doesn't it's just a name the guard didn't say that he named it after the country. I really don't see any difference but you admins have it both ways when it suits you,

Why don't you drop it and just allow the point to be removed because it doesn't add much to the page and it doesn't actually mention it as it's only a name that has been used since the 1960s so they could have just called it Kenya.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 08:49, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

== Anville Town ==

I noticed under the Unova section nobody put the equivalent to Anville Town. There's nothing much to actually do in Anville, but I believe there still has to be a real-life counterpart to it. I was speaking with my mother about this, and she grew up in Queens so she knows New York and Northern New Jersey like the back of her hand. I grew up in Bergen County, so I know a bit about it too. I asked her exactly what Anville Town would be based off of based upon its location, and we came to the conclusion that it is the equivalent to Morristown, NJ. Morristown is known for its train station and one of its stops transits right into the 59th Street's station (which is what Nimbasa is based off of).
Yay or nay? {{unsigned|MeruNoUta}}

== Spear Pillar ==

Mt. Asahi is the highest peak in Hokkaido, as Spear Pillar is the highest peak in Sinnoh. Mt. Asahi's location relative to the rest of Hokkaido is also close to Spear Pillar's location relative to the rest of Sinnoh. Can I say that Spear Pillar was based on Mt. Asahi? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 19:38, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
:This is a change I was going to suggest as well. Based on Mt. Coronet's layout as you near the peak and what you can see of the surrounding terrain, Mt. Asahi looks to be a very close match to Spear Pillar. It's also in the correct geographical position, and it works uncannily well in locating the Sinjoh Ruins (or at least where ''I'' think they are).

== Decolore Islands ==

I noticed that the region hasn't been added yet, along with the Orange Islands. As a resident of Connecticut, I believe the the Decolore Islands are most likely based on the Thimble Islands. They are located close to New York, the area Unova itself is based on. Additionally, many of the Decolore Islands are not populated and instead used as nature preserves, similar to the major university-owned Thimble Islands used for ecological studies. However, a few islands in the Thimbles are built up considerable, such as Money Island. This is similar to the Unnamed Island in BW138. [[User:Manqoba|Manqoba]] ([[User talk:Manqoba|talk]]) 15:31, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
:With all due respect, I think your perception of likelihood may be influenced by home-state bias. Looking at a map, the Thimble Islands hug Connecticut ''very'' closely, far from the border with New York, and ''very'' far from any part of New York that Unova is based on. I think this is a case of confirmation bias, sorry. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Oblivia ==

Assuming that Oblivia is in fact based on the Oki Island, here is what I believe to be the relation:

*Renbow Island and Mitonga Island form the two halves of Nishinoshima

== Blackthorn City, Dragon's Den and Ice Path ==

Northeastern Johto is not an easy area to pin down, but I think I've found something that accurately depicts the Blackthorn area. I can tell people have already made a significant effort to locate these places, so I don't want to make any changes to their contributions without talking about them first.

First off, I don't think there's much significance between Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, and the suggested Dragon's Den, Mt. Ibuki. Ibuki means "breath", and is often associated with a strong will, impulsive behavior and over-sensitivity; this seems to fit Clair pretty well. In GSC, the TM she awards you with is Dragonbreath, or Ryu-no-ibuki in the JP version, another possible origin of her name. I'm sorry, but I'm really starting to doubt her name was inspired by the mountain believed to have the had the world's heaviest snowfall in recorded history, so I don't think there's much supporting that mountain as the location of Dragon's Den. However, given the mountain's close proximity to "Mahogany" and "Lake of Rage" and its own icy history, I think it's a strong candidate for the entrance to Ice Path.

The next thing I want to critique is the Blackthorn-Shirakawa theory. The main thing that made me look into this is that Shirakawa is significantly far away from where you'd expect to find it relative to the other locations we've found, and unlike the the questionable relationship between Cherrygrove/Violet, Shirakawa is also very far away from every other location we've found (it's the most isolated location in all of real-world Johto/Kanto to date). Additionally, Shirakawa is famous for its nearly-uniform gasshō-zukuri, but these designs aren't reflected in Blackthorn's new buildings even though Violet and Ecruteak received makeovers that match Nara and Kyoto.

Okay, now for my suggestions. I think Blackthorn is Kai/Kofu, Yamanashi; Ice Path (exit) is the oft-hypothesized Narusawa Ice Cave, Yamanashi; and Dragon's Den is Kanazakura-jinja Shrine, Yamanashi.

My first lead came when I saw a "Did You Know" on the Smash Bros series; during development the first game was called "Dragon King: Fighting Game" and featured a striking picture of a low-rise neighborhood with Mt Fuji (Mt Silver) in the background. The video claimed the game's name came from that neighborhood, which just so happened to be where HAL Laboratory was located, and that the picture was taken by a certain programmer I'll name later. This all piqued my interest, so I started digging. The town's name was Ryūō, with a population around 40,000 (right on the low end of other towns believed to inspire other towns up to this point), and it was merged with several other towns into Kai in 2004 (after the release of GSC). Geographically, it's a strong match for Blackthorn, surrounded by mountains and with Fuji standing prominently to its Southeast; the biggest issue is that it's tightly clustered with a number of significant cities. Then I zoomed out, and I realized the broader Kofu basin is a very close match to the birds-eye view shape of Blackthorn (use Earth mode to make this more apparent). According to legend, the Kofu basin used to be a lake until Kami pushed on of the mountains aside and the lake drained to the south; this southerly river-valley is clearly visible from a map and could explain the river in Blackthorn and Route 45 in HGSS.

Okay, so Dragon's Den. Kanazakura-jinja Shrine is just north of Kai, it prominently features a pair of dragons, the "rising and falling dragons", and one carries a fire crystal and the other a water crystal. The translations from their website are a little wonky, but it sounds like these dragons symbolize the reconstruction of the main shrine after it collapsed in a 1953 fire (there's also some visible damage to the Den in HGSS), with the dragons drawing attention to fire above and water below. Rising and falling dragons, fire above/water below... I think this symbolism is an interesting parallel to Dragon's Den and the lava-filled Gym located directly above it, and what was the name of that Gym's badge? Rising. Also, the Shrine wasn't all that burned; most of the Kofu basin was destroyed in a night-time air raid in 1945. Combined, these fires may have inspired Blackthorn's name, Fusube, or black smoke.

Anyone who's still reading has probably already encountered the idea that Narusawa Ice Cave corresponds to Ice Path, so I'll just say Kai/Kofu is sandwiched neatly between the Cave and the Shrine. Also, an Ibuki/Naursawa fused Ice Path may serve as a "portal" of sorts to cover the long distance between Koka/Mahogany and Kai.

Finally, earlier I mentioned HAL's R&D center in Kai and a certain programmer. We know that GameFreak has a habit of featuring themselves in the Pokemon games, but what about guest programmers? Well, HAL may not have worked on GSC directly, but their then-president did! Satoru Iwata famously helped development along through graphical compression (he's directly attributed with freeing up enough space on the cartridges to add the Kanto region to the games), so where might he be in Blackthorn? The Move Deleter, of course! Iwata freed up space on the carts, the MD frees up space on your Pokemon; considering everything else, I find this to be more than mere coincidence.

Any one of these location changes might not be very persuasive on their own, but I think they're pretty compelling when taken altogether. What do you guys think about these possible changes in our listed locations?[[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 07:29, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

== Lake Valor ==

The article currently says that Lake Valor is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Kussharo Lake Kussharo], which is closer to Abashiri (Veilstone) than Kushiro (Pastoria). However, I think the lake might be based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Akan Lake Akan]. Although Lake Akan is much smaller and doesn't have the same shape (round with an island in the middle), its location corresponds to Lake Valor's location much better than Lake Kussharo, and there is a small resort village on its southern shore.

== Azoth Kingdom and England or Italy ==

In the design of the Azoth Kingdom, there are elements that refer to the industrial revolution and Steampunk design, if we take into account that Volcanion is based in part on a steam engine, which was created in England, it would be possible for the Azoth Kingdom it was near north north of Kalos or in England itself.

But if we take into account that Nikola is based on Da Vinci, the kingdom could be on the border between Kalos and some equivalent to Italy in the Pokemon World.

== Galar Region ==

So the Galar Region has just been announced for Pokemon Sword and Shield, and I know there were rumours before the announcement that it would be based off of the UK, so as a Briton myself, I've tried to verify that/match the locations. The industrial and farming focus definitely suits the UK, and I can see a structure that looks like the Palace of Westminster in the Icy Northern City, suggesting the island is flipped North to South (and possible East-West as well).

Based on this, looking at the red-brick city in which the starters are shown, with its industrial nature, canal leading to the sea and bordering mountains, I think that it represents Manchester, which would mean that the city by the wall where the ice starts would be Birmingham, although none of it's features match.

It's also possible the city on the sea is Liverpool, due to being on the coast between Manchester and Birmingham.

The industrial City being Manchester also fits with the lakes South of it, which would represent the Lake District
These cities would suggest that the region represents just England, rather than the whole of the UK.

Just some preliminary ideas, we shall have to wait for more information before confirming anything. {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

Well here is some information I've tried to put but Wiki-maniacs here can't live with them until they are officially confirmed(like we ever needed official confirmation anyway) :P
===Galar===

[[Galar]] is based on {{wp|Great Britain}}. Galar's outline is of a vertical flipped Great Britain, though the climate isn't flipped(cold north and warm south), ideally making the London based city snowy and Manchester/Liverpool based one warm.

== About the real world locations mentioned section... ==

some of these things just have to go. The Fantina dialogue thing doesn't really have anything to do with it since that only happened immediately before the battle, not when you first encounter her at the contest hall or after you beat her. Besides, she could have just been using a fake accent. I mean, [[Blue (Game)|Blue]] was using a french accent when he fought you on the St. Anne, and the last time I checked, he never visited France or anything, never spoke in that accent prior to it, and immediately dropped the accent right after you beat him. Also, i doubt that an Indian elephant should count towards a real world location (maybe real world animal, but definitely not a real world location.)

anyways, thats all for now.

~~Weedle Mchairybug~~

Actually Fantina says something about moving to Hearthrome(spelling might be wrong) City before the battle.I am not sure but I think that backs up that she is from France

~~Starfire~~

Just because she said that she moved to hearthrome city doesn't necessarily mean that she was from France. I mean, if she explicitly stated that she was from France (or canada, even), then yes, that would have merit. But she never really said where she moved from. she only gave a vague mention of another country. I mean, for all we know, she could have just as easily come from the Orange or sevii Islands (I think of the Sevii Islands as an entirely seperate place than an actual region considering how it and Kanto seem to have somewhat of a feud before you arrived that wouldn't be of this scale if it was a region.], or Heck, even Orre (they seemed to imply through a news report in colosseum that it has entirely different regions due to the fact that they mentioned that several regions were attacked by [[Shadow_Pokemon|Abnormal Pokemon]], and since Kanto/Johto/Hoenn never even referenced being attacked by them, that seems to imply that it is an entirely different country in and of itself.).

I mean if you wish, go ahead, but I just want to say that I'm not too sure about that. I mean, if she was explicitly said to have come from france (like the Trainer dex in Pokemon FRLG said about Lt. Surge [I don't count the "Lightning American" thing as evidence that he is American since Some of the Gym Leaders were given similar nicknames even though they really don't have any corollation with each other (Tomboyish Mermaid, Elegant Princess, among others comes to mind [Misty's not a mermaid because she doesn't have a fish tail, she doesn't sit on rocks to comb her hair {her hair is very short, anyways}, and she never really stated that she was a Mermaid or related to them. As for Erika, she never really said that she was related to any royal family.].).].) then, yes, Go on ahead.

But since she never really stated that she was from France (her speaking french doesn't count since 1. she seemed to be faking it since the only time she ACTUALLY spoke french was when you meet up with her, which she drops when she is close to losing, and 2. Even IF she was actually able to speak french, that doesn't mean she is from France. remember, Canada, Jamacia as well as some african countrys speak French as part of their language.), we shouldn't say that she was from France.

==Could someone update the map?==

Almia should be included, as it's attached to Sinnoh. {{unsigned|LynnCreed}}

no almia's place should not be part of the main map because it is just a side game. almia should be in a "side game's map". Maybe that small part will be part of another generation game! do you have absolute proof from the developers of the game? i think not! plus if there is no mention of the national pokedex, then almia is in a different nation. since the main games are one nation, most likely the geography is influenced by japan, there are no separate nations inside what is similar to japanese land. you cannot be too sure until it is 100% proven. plus almia is just a small area of land similar to most things to the world right now. it can be part of the area of northern africa and mediterranean sea. also the games state that they are far away from the main pokemon games. {{unsigned|Pipcrew}}

Is there a reason all this information is listed only here, and not on the locations individual pages? Personally I think it is relevant Trivia that, for instance, Mt. Silver is based on Mt. Fuji. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 05:43, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

::True, but in some cases wouldn't you say it's relevant? For instance, Ecruteak City is based on Kyoto (not mentioned in Ecruteak's article at the moment), both cities are very old and have a lot of history. Kyoto is famous outside Japan- I'd hazard a guess at it being the second most well known Japanese city. Kyoto's history contributes to Ecruteak's role in the games. Wouldn't you say that's relevant? Violet City being based on Nara is, perhaps, less relevant, and wouldn't be very meaningful to most people using the wiki, so things like that perhaps could be skipped. But I definitely think that at least Mt. Silver/Fuji and Ecruteak/Kyoto are worth mentioning. I want to say something regarding Tokyo too, but the matter seems pretty complicated since there's no single Tokyo analogue.

::Also, just a passing thought, is it worth maybe mentioning the opposite- for places like Pacifidog town- that they are lacking in real world analogue? [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 04:59, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

==Regarding Hoenn==

Actually, I've done some of my own research into the correlation between Hoenn and its real-life counterpart and would like to argue that Rustboro is a much better candidate to counterpart with Fukuoka than Rustboro. The region (according to wikipedia which is the source I used) is known for its industrial and steel works, which seems pretty analogous to Rustboro's Devon Corp.

Also, Lavaridge matches up to Ōita much better than Fallabour. Ōita is closer to Beppu, the hotspring region. It's possible that whoever said Lavaridge was Aso got the two Hoenn Cities mixed up, because looking at the map of Kyushu, they're the other way around.

Kagoshima could possibly be Lilycove, as it's a bay city with a small round island in the port, which could be analogous to Mt. Pyre.

I'm not sure who wrote up the Hoenn cities part of the article, but I'd definitely argue that they didn't look closely enough at a map of Kyushu or of Hoenn, as some of them match up to other cities much better than the ones listed. Sorry to seem like a jerk, but I've done a LOT of reading online about this and it's too bad the Bulba article isn't better. I'll edit the article eventually, I'd just like a reply here first.

I know that the side games are more difficult to place, as far as true geographic regions go (if they even exist), but in the article itself, it mentions Orre as "[bearing] striking resemblance to the Gunma Prefecture of Japan in shape, which would place Orre north of Kanto and Johto."

:::lets just separate the maps then. the region on where the side game's area is on might be filled in by a later generation's region, the side game's region might not be in japan because they look like most other areas in the real world and the side region is not part of the main games. even though you can get manaphy in pokemon ranger does not mean that that game is canon. it just means that you can get manaphy from that game.

==Orre Section Revamp==
I'm sorry, but the section on Orre DEFINITELY needs work. so far it has only three locations listed, and those are listed with the presupposition that Orre is in fact based on a region of Japan. I did some research into Arizona and the surrounding area and found some more noticeable parallels.

Phenac City is obviously based on Phoenix, Arizona, for the reasons listed in the article already.

Mt. Battle could be based on Humphreys Peak, the highest point in Arizona. While it's not a volcano like Mt. Battle, neither is the Gunma Prefecture of Japan a desert. That said, Humphreys Peak also lands in the right place relative to other locations.

Pyrite Town could be based on Yuma, Arizona, which formerly housed a large prison facility (which fits in with both the Pyrite Town jail and the high crime rate in that section of Orre).

Agate Village was hard to find, but I eventually settled on the little town of Oatman, Arizona. Oatman lies right along Route 66, and, as with many towns along that route, has seen better days. While it doesn't appear as fertile as Agate Village, I thought the history of this mountain town fit in with the fact that the population of Agate Village is mostly elderly, with the young moving to the cities instead.

In terms of locations from XD, I widened my search to include locations not specifically in Arizona. I placed Gateon Port at the well-known city of San Diego, California.

Citadark Isle seems to correspond with Isla Guadelupe, a volcanic island off the coast of Baja California.

I don't know how this should be incorporated into the article, but I do believe at least some of this information needs to go there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 15:12, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

:Yes, Gunma Prefecture isn't a desert, but then again, Floaroma Town isn't a flowerfield in real life, it is a desert. Anyways, I also don't recall Arizona being so barren that animals are even scarcer than water (which in Orre, apparently Pokémon actually are that scarce, at least in Colosseum.). I do doubt that it's near the Gunma Prefecture, but I also doubt that its supposed to be Arizona. Also, even going beyond Arizona, most of the locations don't match up. Citadark Island is on the opposite side of the real life location. Not to mention that San Diego isn't anywhere near that location. Maybe the old Colosseum map might have been based off of Arizona, but going by XD, it's not based off of Arizona or even the Southwestern United States/Mexican area, for that matter. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 22:51, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

::My bad about XD locations; I don't have the game, so it's hard to verify where they go (especially based on the few low quality Orre maps you can find). But nonetheless, the Orre section needs to change or be removed. The similarities listed are a real stretch (Outskirt Stand based on an archaeological site? I doubt it.), and besides, I thought Fiore's section was removed because it was a side game location.

I like how it's been aligned so the regions look more like they do in the games, but technically Hoenn's box should be a lot bigger. That southwestern island chain includes such places as Naha (the inspiration for Ever Grande City), Yonaguni (the inspiration for the Sealed Chamber), and Yaebishi (the inspiration for Mirage Island). In other words, Game Freak curled that island chain around to compress the region into a smaller space, likely for gameplay reasons.

== some edits ==

As we are following Revised Hepburn as a standard for romanizations in listing the locations, "Oshima" (under Sevii Islands, Knot Island, prefecture) should be spelled "Ōshima", "Nakoudojima" (under Sevii Islands, Memorial Pillar, specific location) should be "Nakōdojima", and "Meiji no Mori Minoo" (under Johto, National Park, specific location) should be "Meiji no Mori Minō".

There is also "Chubu" (right under Johto) in stead of "Chūbu", "Honshu" (right under Hoenn) in stead of "Honshū", and "Hokkaido" (right under Sinnoh) in stead of "Hokkaidō", as well as a lot of other non-Hepburn romanizations in the comment section (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Oshima, Hokkaido, etc.) alongside the Hepburn ones (Kantō, Tōkaidō, Kyūshū, Hōryū-ji, etc.). I guess non-Hepburn is acceptable, as it is standard in everyday English use (mainly important cities like Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto), but I think it would probably be better to choose either one.

== Hoenn ==

Having lived in Kyushu for about a year, I have gone around and visited some of the approximate locations that correlate with Hoenn. It would seem that the Kurokawa onsen town is correct for Lavaridge. It's southwest, at the base of Mt. Chimney, as Kurokawa Onsen is northwest in Kyushu.

Beppu seems to be the best match for Fallarbor town. The whole town is rife with geothermal activity with steam rising up all over the urban area. While it has hot springs like Aso town, there are also other forms of geothermal activity such as steam vents. Which I would assume the crater in Fallarbor is supposed to represent.

In terms of Meteor Falls, it appears that it isn't just one source of inspiration, but many. Oita prefecture is famous for both waterfalls and limestone caves. As inspiration for the cave setting, I wouldn't be surprised if it was Furen Cave. [http://www.furenshonyudo.jp/] So it would seem that Meteor Falls is a combination of both the waterfalls and limestone caves found in the Oita prefecture.

On a final note, it looks like Sootopolis City is shaped more like Yakushima Island. Ever Grande city is currently compared to Yakushima, but it seems inaccurate. As Yakushima is circular, and closer in relation to Sootopolis than Iwojima. Ever Grande city is shaped more like Okinawa Island when comparing the two. Just my two cents on what might need correction in the Hoenn section. And I'd be happy to know what everyone else thinks.

==Cerulean City RL Counterpart==
In the table featured within the article, Cerulean City is said to be based on the real world Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Saitama City was not officially a city until 2001, several years after the 1st generation games. Cerulean was a city before Saitama existed as a city.

While you could then say that Cerulean was based on what was to become Saitama City, the geographical locations don't match either. With Maebashi and Mt Akagi (Pewter and Mt Moon) being way up in Gunma Prefecture, the scale of the map is huge. As Cerulean is much further East, but no further South, to put it down in Saitama Prefecture at all seems like a gross misplacement. The real-world counterpart would be much further East.

This makes me think it's actually a city called Tsuchiura, in Ibaraki prefecture.

Aside from this being a far more likely and accurate geographical correlation, Tsuchiura has many other points of relevance for Cerulean. Tsuchiura is famous for its massive abundance of lotus root; these plants grow and bloom in man-made lagoons - they are floating blooms. Cerulean is also mentioned as a "seaside" city, despite not being quite as far East as the sea; Tsuchiura sits right next to lake Kasumigaura, the second biggest lake in Japan, and has a seaside feel as a result, despite, as with Cerulean, not being quite as far East as the actual sea. The area that joins onto Tsuchiura, to the North East, is called Kasumigaura, possibly the inspiration for the gym leader (Kasumi) Misty. Misty's gym is located towards the bottom of Cerulean City, and Tsuchiura also has a huge gymnasium, including a complex of swimming pools and water park type features, which is located towards the bottom of the city. There are a couple of rivers that run through Tsuchiura, the largest being the river Sakura. The trainer bridge could also potentially correspond to the bridge that links Kasumigaura with Kasumigaura Fureai Land, although this is a little more speculative.

I'm aware that I could be wrong, but a great many things do seem to fit, or show a heavy similarity of being a match of some kind. Feel free to agree or disagree, but let me know what your reasons are for doing so. [[User:Cloud210|Cloud210]] ([[User talk:Cloud210|talk]]) 11:25, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Sea Spirit's Den ==

I wanted some agreement on this before I changed it, but I think Sea Spirit's Den is actually based on {{wp|Alderney}} and not {{wp|Jersey}}. If you compare a map of the [http://www.lonelyplanet.com/maps/europe/channel-islands/map_of_channel-islands.jpg Channel Islands ] and [http://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/8/8a/Kalos_alt.png Kalos] I think you will see that the 2 bigger green ones are Jersey and Guernsey, the little one is Sark and Sea Spirit's Den is Alderney. It is probably worth noting that historically the islands were part of Normandy (Northern France).

Another thing, it says that Jersey is part of the UK, this isn't correct. Jersey (and the other channel islands) have a complex relationship with the UK but they do not form part of it. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_dependencies This page] has more info on this. [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - I don't what to put here.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 09:45, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

== edit war ==

You may have noticed the edit war between myself and Ratchet and Clank 1995, he/she is wrong. {{wp|British Islands}} is a legal term that unambiguously refers to the UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey (the latter two are collectively the Channel Islands), as the wiki article says. He/she is right that the Channel Islands are not part of Great Britain/UK, which is why I changed it from UK to British Islands in the first place. (Originally he said he changed it because they were not part of the {{wp|British Isles}}, he/she may be right geographically but the term british isles is often used to include the channel islands)

While they are not technically part of the UK, Channel Islands are still 'British'. The inhabitants are entitled to a British passport, the queen is head of state, and the UK has responsibility for the defence and international representation of the islands. This is note worthy because they are the only non-French part of Kalos (although historically the islands were part of Normandy - Northern France). However, due to complicated reasons, it is incorrect to say they are part of the UK. 'British Islands' may be an unusual term, but it is correct and conveys that they are British without getting into complicated politics.

== Snowbelle ==

Likening Snowbelle City to Grenoble seems pretty unlikely as Grenoble is further south than Lyon, which is commonly accepted to be Kiloude City. It seems a lot more likely that Snowbelle is supposed to be Besançon or one of the surrounding cities such as Montbéliard, Dole or Lons-Le-Saunier, considering the region is known for cross-country skiing in the Jura mountains as well as freezing weather in the winter (the region of Jura is sometimes affectionately called "Little Siberia"). The general location fits, as well. [[User:Rappy28|Rappy28]] ([[User talk:Rappy28|talk]]) 17:32, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
:I was the person to link Kiloude City to Lyon and I still believe this to be correct, one reason why I linked it was the fact that Lyon is just slightly North of the Gironde estuary which its Pokémon counterpart can be seen on the Kalos map so they seem to match. You have made a valid point that Grenoble is too far south so I agree with you and that Snowbelle cannot possibly be based on Grenoble's location. I would say go ahead and change Grenoble to Besançon as it does seem to fit and the fact that it's called "Little Siberia" could go in the notes section as it actually seems relevant.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 18:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

== Kenya ==

I'm tired of seeing all of you edit warring over something so small without anyone bothering to open a discussion, so instead I'm starting a discussion on it. Personally, I don't see the problem with adding something on the end along the lines of "Kenya is also the name of a mountain in the country of Kenya, Mount Kenya, from which the country derives its name." I don't think it would hurt to add a small line on like that, especially considering that it is in fact where the name originates. Yes, the Spearow is probably named after the country, but the country itself is named after the mountain. '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 13:32, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
:There was a discussion, on my talk page, where I clearly said that the country is the most likely reference. The mountain is irrelevant in this case since it's not something one would immediately think of. I've already made it clear, but Ratchet is just being stubborn.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:14, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
::To point out even more, 4 users total were involved in the discussion, with 3 of the 4 agreeing that the country is the first (if not only) thing most people would think of. As Force Fire said, these wars are the result of one person with the strong belief that their opinion outweighs the majority of other opinions expressed, which at this point I will no longer be dealing with reverting, leaving it for staff members to deal with.

:::I would however think of the mountain and so would a lot of other people. Kenya is also a name that has been used in the USA since the 1960s so the Spearow could just have the name Kenya. There is one issue with that point which is the other points actually say a location this Spearow just happens to have the name Kenya which doesn't mention the location, the only way it could would be if the guard said that he named it after the country and that would be the mention not the name itself.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 10:57, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
::::You wouldn't be saying that if you didn't know that the mountain existed or there are people named Kenya. You're only using that because you've just looked that up and are trying to justify yourself. I didn't know about the mountain or people named Kenya, but now that I do know, I still think the country is the first thing that comes to mind. No common person is going to know either the mountain or people named Kenya, because the country is much more significant than the two. I've already told you to let this go, and you are clearly not listening. This discussion is close and the decision is final.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:17, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::What, I knew about the mountain way before this, in school my class did a project about Kenya in 2006 so myself and everyone who was in the same class knows about Mount Kenya. Every Kenyan probably knows about the mountain and the fact that their country is named after it. You said that no one would know about the name Kenya, people who know people called Kenya would know about it being used as a name. It's just a guess that it is named after Kenya as no other information is provided and as a result my decision is final and the whole point stays off.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 00:20, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

:::::::Thinking about it, after all of this discussion you have only been able to say it is "most likely the country" and haven't provided any evidence to say that it actually certainly does mention the country. As there is no certain way of knowing whether it actually mentions the country it should be left out because the Spearow just has a nickname which has been a name in the USA since the 1960s whereas all of the other points has a character actually say a place. By this logic of "most likely" couldn't we say Ash's Charizard is most likely male because of its relationship with Charla and the fact that homosexual and bisexual Pokémon have not been confirmed to exist in the anime. If we go by that logic Charizard's page should just say it's male. Ask random Pokémon fans what gender they think Charizard is and they probably all think male. This site seems to have it both ways in the case of genders it has to be explicitly stated whereas in this instance it doesn't it's just a name the guard didn't say that he named it after the country. I really don't see any difference but you admins have it both ways when it suits you,

(resetting indent)You didn't even argue against my point about the fact that you are only using "most likely" the country. In your argument about Pangoro's slash you made it very clear that assumptions should not be made yet you are doing exactly that on this article. As I mentioned Ash's Charizard is most likely male and it's page doesn't state male so why when there is no explicit information stating that the country is mentioned is this allowed but in order for a Pokémon's gender to be confirmed it must be explicitly stated. Why don't you drop it and just allow the point to be removed because it doesn't add much to the page and it doesn't actually mention it as it's only a name that has been used since the 1960s so they could have just called it Kenya.[[User:Ratchet and Clank 1995|Ratchet and Clank 1995]] ([[User talk:Ratchet and Clank 1995|talk]]) 08:49, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

== Anville Town ==

I noticed under the Unova section nobody put the equivalent to Anville Town. There's nothing much to actually do in Anville, but I believe there still has to be a real-life counterpart to it. I was speaking with my mother about this, and she grew up in Queens so she knows New York and Northern New Jersey like the back of her hand. I grew up in Bergen County, so I know a bit about it too. I asked her exactly what Anville Town would be based off of based upon its location, and we came to the conclusion that it is the equivalent to Morristown, NJ. Morristown is known for its train station and one of its stops transits right into the 59th Street's station (which is what Nimbasa is based off of).
Yay or nay? {{unsigned|MeruNoUta}}

== Spear Pillar ==

Mt. Asahi is the highest peak in Hokkaido, as Spear Pillar is the highest peak in Sinnoh. Mt. Asahi's location relative to the rest of Hokkaido is also close to Spear Pillar's location relative to the rest of Sinnoh. Can I say that Spear Pillar was based on Mt. Asahi? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 19:38, 25 June 2016 (UTC)
:This is a change I was going to suggest as well. Based on Mt. Coronet's layout as you near the peak and what you can see of the surrounding terrain, Mt. Asahi looks to be a very close match to Spear Pillar. It's also in the correct geographical position, and it works uncannily well in locating the Sinjoh Ruins (or at least where ''I'' think they are).

== Decolore Islands ==

I noticed that the region hasn't been added yet, along with the Orange Islands. As a resident of Connecticut, I believe the the Decolore Islands are most likely based on the Thimble Islands. They are located close to New York, the area Unova itself is based on. Additionally, many of the Decolore Islands are not populated and instead used as nature preserves, similar to the major university-owned Thimble Islands used for ecological studies. However, a few islands in the Thimbles are built up considerable, such as Money Island. This is similar to the Unnamed Island in BW138. [[User:Manqoba|Manqoba]] ([[User talk:Manqoba|talk]]) 15:31, 25 August 2016 (UTC)
:With all due respect, I think your perception of likelihood may be influenced by home-state bias. Looking at a map, the Thimble Islands hug Connecticut ''very'' closely, far from the border with New York, and ''very'' far from any part of New York that Unova is based on. I think this is a case of confirmation bias, sorry. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:21, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Oblivia ==

Assuming that Oblivia is in fact based on the Oki Island, here is what I believe to be the relation:
*Dolce Island is Chibu
*Renbow Island and Mitonga Island form the two halves of Nishinoshima
*Sophian Island is Okinoshima (transposed a bit)
But Faldera, Layuda and Tilikule have no real-world counterpart. [[User:Ifni400|Ifni400]] ([[User talk:Ifni400|talk]]) 23:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

I have two questions, 1. Why is it that only the three latest regions have a compairing image to the corresponding real world location? Also both Unova's and Kalos' as well as Almia's image all have the real world location above it while Alola's is located beneeth. Why? 2. Isn't the Mystery Dungeon world based on somewhere in the world or is it just made out of the air so to speak. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 11:14, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

== Blackthorn City, Dragon's Den and Ice Path ==

Northeastern Johto is not an easy area to pin down, but I think I've found something that accurately depicts the Blackthorn area. I can tell people have already made a significant effort to locate these places, so I don't want to make any changes to their contributions without talking about them first.

First off, I don't think there's much significance between Clair's Japanese name, Ibuki, and the suggested Dragon's Den, Mt. Ibuki. Ibuki means "breath", and is often associated with a strong will, impulsive behavior and over-sensitivity; this seems to fit Clair pretty well. In GSC, the TM she awards you with is Dragonbreath, or Ryu-no-ibuki in the JP version, another possible origin of her name. I'm sorry, but I'm really starting to doubt her name was inspired by the mountain believed to have the had the world's heaviest snowfall in recorded history, so I don't think there's much supporting that mountain as the location of Dragon's Den. However, given the mountain's close proximity to "Mahogany" and "Lake of Rage" and its own icy history, I think it's a strong candidate for the entrance to Ice Path.

The next thing I want to critique is the Blackthorn-Shirakawa theory. The main thing that made me look into this is that Shirakawa is significantly far away from where you'd expect to find it relative to the other locations we've found, and unlike the the questionable relationship between Cherrygrove/Violet, Shirakawa is also very far away from every other location we've found (it's the most isolated location in all of real-world Johto/Kanto to date). Additionally, Shirakawa is famous for its nearly-uniform gasshō-zukuri, but these designs aren't reflected in Blackthorn's new buildings even though Violet and Ecruteak received makeovers that match Nara and Kyoto.

Okay, now for my suggestions. I think Blackthorn is Kai/Kofu, Yamanashi; Ice Path (exit) is the oft-hypothesized Narusawa Ice Cave, Yamanashi; and Dragon's Den is Kanazakura-jinja Shrine, Yamanashi.

My first lead came when I saw a "Did You Know" on the Smash Bros series; during development the first game was called "Dragon King: Fighting Game" and featured a striking picture of a low-rise neighborhood with Mt Fuji (Mt Silver) in the background. The video claimed the game's name came from that neighborhood, which just so happened to be where HAL Laboratory was located, and that the picture was taken by a certain programmer I'll name later. This all piqued my interest, so I started digging. The town's name was Ryūō, with a population around 40,000 (right on the low end of other towns believed to inspire other towns up to this point), and it was merged with several other towns into Kai in 2004 (after the release of GSC). Geographically, it's a strong match for Blackthorn, surrounded by mountains and with Fuji standing prominently to its Southeast; the biggest issue is that it's tightly clustered with a number of significant cities. Then I zoomed out, and I realized the broader Kofu basin is a very close match to the birds-eye view shape of Blackthorn (use Earth mode to make this more apparent). According to legend, the Kofu basin used to be a lake until Kami pushed on of the mountains aside and the lake drained to the south; this southerly river-valley is clearly visible from a map and could explain the river in Blackthorn and Route 45 in HGSS.

Okay, so Dragon's Den. Kanazakura-jinja Shrine is just north of Kai, it prominently features a pair of dragons, the "rising and falling dragons", and one carries a fire crystal and the other a water crystal. The translations from their website are a little wonky, but it sounds like these dragons symbolize the reconstruction of the main shrine after it collapsed in a 1953 fire (there's also some visible damage to the Den in HGSS), with the dragons drawing attention to fire above and water below. Rising and falling dragons, fire above/water below... I think this symbolism is an interesting parallel to Dragon's Den and the lava-filled Gym located directly above it, and what was the name of that Gym's badge? Rising. Also, the Shrine wasn't all that burned; most of the Kofu basin was destroyed in a night-time air raid in 1945. Combined, these fires may have inspired Blackthorn's name, Fusube, or black smoke.

Anyone who's still reading has probably already encountered the idea that Narusawa Ice Cave corresponds to Ice Path, so I'll just say Kai/Kofu is sandwiched neatly between the Cave and the Shrine. Also, an Ibuki/Naursawa fused Ice Path may serve as a "portal" of sorts to cover the long distance between Koka/Mahogany and Kai.

Finally, earlier I mentioned HAL's R&D center in Kai and a certain programmer. We know that GameFreak has a habit of featuring themselves in the Pokemon games, but what about guest programmers? Well, HAL may not have worked on GSC directly, but their then-president did! Satoru Iwata famously helped development along through graphical compression (he's directly attributed with freeing up enough space on the cartridges to add the Kanto region to the games), so where might he be in Blackthorn? The Move Deleter, of course! Iwata freed up space on the carts, the MD frees up space on your Pokemon; considering everything else, I find this to be more than mere coincidence.

Any one of these location changes might not be very persuasive on their own, but I think they're pretty compelling when taken altogether. What do you guys think about these possible changes in our listed locations?[[User:Areku|Areku]] ([[User talk:Areku|talk]]) 07:29, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

== Lake Valor ==

The article currently says that Lake Valor is based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Kussharo Lake Kussharo], which is closer to Abashiri (Veilstone) than Kushiro (Pastoria). However, I think the lake might be based on [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Akan Lake Akan]. Although Lake Akan is much smaller and doesn't have the same shape (round with an island in the middle), its location corresponds to Lake Valor's location much better than Lake Kussharo, and there is a small resort village on its southern shore.

== Azoth Kingdom and England or Italy ==

In the design of the Azoth Kingdom, there are elements that refer to the industrial revolution and Steampunk design, if we take into account that Volcanion is based in part on a steam engine, which was created in England, it would be possible for the Azoth Kingdom it was near north north of Kalos or in England itself.

But if we take into account that Nikola is based on Da Vinci, the kingdom could be on the border between Kalos and some equivalent to Italy in the Pokemon World.

¿What do you think?

== Galar Region ==

So the Galar Region has just been announced for Pokemon Sword and Shield, and I know there were rumours before the announcement that it would be based off of the UK, so as a Briton myself, I've tried to verify that/match the locations. The industrial and farming focus definitely suits the UK, and I can see a structure that looks like the Palace of Westminster in the Icy Northern City, suggesting the island is flipped North to South (and possible East-West as well).

Based on this, looking at the red-brick city in which the starters are shown, with its industrial nature, canal leading to the sea and bordering mountains, I think that it represents Manchester, which would mean that the city by the wall where the ice starts would be Birmingham, although none of it's features match.

It's also possible the city on the sea is Liverpool, due to being on the coast between Manchester and Birmingham.

The industrial City being Manchester also fits with the lakes South of it, which would represent the Lake District
These cities would suggest that the region represents just England, rather than the whole of the UK.

Just some preliminary ideas, we shall have to wait for more information before confirming anything. {{unsigned|ZiggyAngelo8}}

Well here is some information I've tried to put but Wiki-maniacs here can't live with them until they are officially confirmed(like we ever needed official confirmation anyway) :P
===Galar===

[[Galar]] is based on {{wp|Great Britain}}. Galar's outline is of a vertical flipped Great Britain, though the climate isn't flipped(cold north and warm south), ideally making the London based city snowy and Edinburgh based one warm.

Talk:History of the Pokémon world

2016-07-02T20:39:51Z

Shaked: /* Error on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire */

==Shaping this article==
I think this article needs to be redesigned... "history" is a bit of a general term - there are differences between the histories in different parts on the cannon (games, anime and different manga series have contradicted each other several times in the past). We need to make rules to decide what goes in and what doesn't...--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It may not even be possible to write such an article since there is not much historical information, not to mention a good part of it is legend. (Then again, in this world it seems legends are generally true.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's more accurate to say that the Pokemon that ''appear'' in legend are true. There's no solid evidence to say that the Sinnoh Myths aren't simply that: Myth. I feel that until Nintendo officially confirms that Arceus did in fact create the Universe, or any other legend, such as Regigigas moving the continents, we should treat them purely as myth and/or theory, and not include them with articles dealing with fact, such as this Timeline.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The timeline must have another sub article--[[User:Joshuamanimtim2|Snorlax]] 10:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Should the spinoff games (Colosseum, XD, Ranger, Snap...) fit in anywhere? There's not a lot of evidence linking those to the handheld games... is there any way to put them in? --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I doubt it. There is no indication that any events in the non-handheld games are canon to the basic storyline, so there's no real point to including it here. On another note, it's my personal opinion that this needs to be moved to a different article, because there isn't much of the history that has been confirmed; most of it, as has been mentioned, is legend and theory. Regardless, I'm going to try to clean this up a bit and Wikify it some. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the Pokemon Ranger games seem to actually reference events from the games (and also is the reason why {{p|Manaphy}} even exists in the main games.) If we aren't going to count the Ranger games are canon to the basic storyline, then we shouldn't count Manaphy as canon, either, since that's the only EVENT pokemon in the main series that debuted in a side game/spinoff game rather than in the main game series. Besides, since we can't transfer any prior gen pokemon onto the R/S/E/FR/LG game packs, Pokemon Colosseum is currently the only legit way to even ACQUIRE Celebi (though this is only in the Japanese version), and it (as well as it's sequel, Gale of darkness) is also the only OTHER legit way to acquire Ho-Oh and Lugia if you didn't get the Mystic tickets in the Emerald/FR/LG versions. now, for games like Mystery dungeon, yes, those SHOULDN'T be counted as canon in there, since that's an Alt universe. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 13:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
:::What should NOT be considered canon is all this fan-made BS about Pokemon populations decreasing, when the unobtainables came into being, how Doduo/Dodrio came to have multiple heads, etc. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 22:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you think the "Contemporary History" should be moved to a new article called "Timeline of events in the games"? This article is supposed to be about how the Pokémon Universe developed, not what happened in it afterwards.

== Can anyone state where it was said that the S.S. Tidal was created in the 1990s? ==

I need to know because the article said it was created in that time period, and yet I don't really recall the games even stating that it was created in the 1990s (In fact, I don't even recall it even mentioning the date of when it was created at all).
:Don't forget to sign your comment with four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. On to the subject i agree there is no mention of when it was built nor is there mention of its age and assume its age from the release date. So Any suggestions on what to do with it?

== Generation III ==

It should be sometime BEFORE Generation II and AFTER Generation I because Generation II states that STEEL is a NEWLY discovered type, and Generation III has steel types... <sc>'''[[User:Optimus35|Agent]] [[User talk:Optimus35|#448]]'''</sc> <sc>[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Optimus35&namespace=0&year=&month=-1 ☆] | [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZPMmUEHFIU ♥]</sc> This will put you off eating for life! 12:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
:Here's how the Generations go in chronological order (This isn't merely fanon, it is supported by evidence from the various canons.)

Generation I→Generation III→→→Generation II→Generation IV

[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|?]][[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|!]] 13:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
:: This really puzzles me - I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just confused by this: how exactly are Generations in that order? I don't even understand how Generations I and II could have their timelines connected with III and IV... Ie: what is the canonical proof for this? (not because I'd doubt it - rather I'd love to know it, please) [[User:Sipulichu|Sipulichu]] 20:51, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think that Steel is newly DISCOVERED type. It's just newly classified type out of those we actually had (the Steel Pokémon could be identified as Rock Pokémon before). The text in game may be mistranslated, since American Pokémon media loves to give us a shit about "new" Pokémon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 13:26, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

== Moon Stone ==

What about "The Moon Stone"?
Of [[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]:

"Seymour theorizes this is because both '''the Pokémon came from outer space''', and '''the Moon Stone was their spacecraft''' - which means the Stone belongs to the Pokémon, and the humans must leave it alone."

[[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] 21:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

That was only in the animé. As far as I know, the whole "Pokémon came from outer-space" thing was never mentioned in any game.--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 23:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Except for MAYBE Deoxys and the Clefairy family

~~Weedle McHairybug~~

How about Jirachi? Comet=Outer Space --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User talk:Theryguy512|5]][[User:Theryguy512/Contribution Page|1]][[User:Theryguy512/Similarities|2]]''' 18:52, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

thanks for pointing him out, Theryguy512.
~~Weedle McHairybug~~

IIRC there is an NPC in the Space Center that mentions the theory in Generation III. I believe I've also seen this mentioned in other games, though I may be mistaken. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:43, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

:Lunatone and Solrock appearantly came from outer space as well. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 14:40, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

The theory is explicitly stated by a Lass outside of Brock's gym in Gen. I and Gen. III. That Clefairy are aliens. Deoxys is also stated to be an alien virus that came to Earth on a meteorite. Kyurem was believed to be an alien before his status as Reshiram and Zekrom's original body was discovered. Solrock and Lunatone are also stated to be extraterrestrials and Elgyem and Beheeyem are based off of the 1949 Roswell, New Mexico incident so even though it's never stated outright, they're aliens as well. I personally think that the arrival of Pokémon from outer space should be included. --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 04:53, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

== Where did the bird trio go? Sinnoh. ==

Look at this, the legendary bird trio ( Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres ) is revealed to roam Sinnoh in Pokémon Platnum. These three, are missing in the GSC games (they can't be found in Kanto). So, they might have flown to Sinnoh. [[User:Joshuamanimtim2|K.J.Boring]] 04:55, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
:Maybe if someone actually says that in-game. Otherwise, it's speculation.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 05:03, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

==Clean-Up, Please?==

Going through this article, all I see is fan speculation and unusual conclusions. I for one would like to see some evidence of these claims, as many of them see totally made-up. For example: What connection to Kyogre and Manaphy have? And "herds" of Latios and Latias? As far as I remember, it's one for each player. I wouldn't say there were "herds" of Mewtwo, would you?
[[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] 03:05, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

:Actually, the "Herds" of Latios and Latias was stated in the Pokedex Entries of Latios and Latias. Don't believe me? Try looking at the pokedex portion of their article. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 03:12, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

==Multiple Mew!?==
Alright, who said that Mew were plentiful soon after the creation of the Pokémon world? And how does anyone know that [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|this Mew]] is different from [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|that Mew]]? It could just be a different voice actor. [[User:Palkiajosh|パルキアJosh]] 23:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
*Ok, about the reason why Mew from Mewtwo Strikes Back being different from the Mew from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, it's for a couple of reasons. Yes, the voice doesn't necessarily mean much, however, MSB's Mew's Japanese VA was definitely in the 8th Movie as he (she? I don't really know the VA's gender) was the one who voiced Sir Aaron in that Movie. I mean, why would they give Mew a different VA (assuming that it IS the same one) if it's original VA is still very much available? Plus, the one from Movie 1 was very far from Kanto, and If this were the same mew, it would spend most of it's time inside of a Lake/Jungle than in a deciduous forest with a [[Tree of Beginning|Tree-like Rock formation]], not to mention that MSB's Mew lives a considerably far distance from Kanto, or heck, any of the regions that have been seen thus far, while LatMoM's Mew was located, if not in Kanto, then just barely beyond the border. As for the multiple parts, I'm guessing the fossilized remains of a Mew, as well as it being a genetic ancestor to every pokemon seems to answer that question.) [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Don't forget that the first Mew was seen to be sleeping underwater, possibly for a long time, untill Mewtwo unleashed his power on the world, creating storms and kidnapping the Nurse Joy of the city. The most recent Mew, was seen to have been connected to the Tree of Beginning, so it should be assumed Mew can't be away from it for long periods of time (longer than seen in the movie). And it and the Tree are so closely connected, when Mew would be damaged in the first movie, the Tree would also sustain damage. And the first Mew is also living in the Johto area, not Kanto.

== Cleanup! ==

This article is really very well done as it sums up everything so those supposed continuity errors are straingtened out (such as the "Which came first? Arceus or Mew?" paradox). But I really think it needs a cleanup. All it has are random dot points on Pokemon that aren't related. Clean it up!

::There really isn't a paradox concerning Arceus and Mew.

I've had an interesting theory, which could solve the Arceus/Mew paradox. Arceus may have created the universe, but what if Mew came around before the universe was created, and Arceus sort of descended from it? Also, Mew is the ANSCESTOR of all Pokémon, not necassarily their creator. So if Arceus created Dialga and Palkia and the Lake Trio, then they are still anscestors of Mew, because Arceus is.

How could Kyogre have expanded the sea with the help of Manaphy and Lugia when it went to sleep millions of years before, and wasn't woken up again until the events of Generation III?

There is definately no archaelogical evidence that it was expanded by Pokémon! Maybe, until we are certain, we shouldn't mention how the sea was created like it is fact.

The article claims that the first writing system was created 1500 years before Generation 1. If this is based on present time, the first writing system was created in 500 AD.

:Writing first came about around 3400-3000 BC. It's still disputed wether Egypt or Mesopotamia had the oldest writing system. And for your second question, yes.

== Leaf ==

Shouldn't we remove Leaf from the article? HG/SS proves that Red's story is the canon one, and Leaf doesn't exist in Red's continuity because she never appeared during his quest. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

:Absolutely not, unless we also remove {{ga|Kris}} due to non-interaction with {{ga|Gold}} in {{v2|Crystal}}. And we're not removing Kris.

::I left Kris there just in case that for whatever reason you consider Pokémon Crystal to be canon rather than the remakes (which would still mean the Leaf isn't part of continuity).
::And even if you're going to assume that Leaf existed somewhere, the article is still wrong because she can't have had the same story she had in FR/LG. That would mean that both Red and Leaf had the same mom, the same house, the same rival and the same events within the same continuity, which makes no sense. If she was part of continuity, she would have a different role from Red's, like May and Dawn had in Brendan and Lucas' respective stories. Moreover, the article states that she defeated Green/Blue in the Pokémon League and became the new champion, which can't have happened, considering that Blue/Green states in HG/SS that the trainer who defeated him shortly after he became champion was Red, not Leaf.
::Lastly, the article should be about writing what we know that happened, not what might have happened. We know that Red's story is canon and Leaf's isn't, as they can't both happen in the same continuity. Therefore, we know that Leaf never appeared in continuity. That there's a Leaf somewhere in the established continuity is unfounded speculation, no matter how much some people want her to be part of it. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

:::There are absolutely no acceptable grounds in removing all references to Leaf from the article. By removing parts from the article, you're trying to imply Leaf never existed to begin with, and for that to be true, FireRed/LeafGreen would have to have had only a male player character. Either that or there would have to have been no FireRed/LeafGreen (and if that were to be the case, there would be no HeartGold/SoulSilver either).

:::Those parts from the article you're trying to have removed in no way imply Leaf exists in HeartGold/SoulSilver; to have any area of the article imply any involvement from Leaf in HeartGold/SoulSilver, Leaf would have to be mentioned in one of the sections further below, and last I saw, there weren't any such mentions.

:::In conclusion: Leaf exists, and she always will. The fact HeartGold/SoulSilver doesn't mention her does not change that. Where Leaf is already mentioned, she should be. Where Leaf shouldn't be mentioned, she's already not. Trying to erase all traces of her existence from the article is akin to vandalism. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

::::Oh, ok. So you weren't saying that there was a Leaf somewhere in the HG/SS timeline. My bad.
::::Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this article about the timeline of the Pokémon world? Isn't it about making a recollection of the canonical events in the established continuity and making it the less ambiguous possible (ie: saying that "Brendan/May" became the Hoenn champion only because we don't have confirmation about which story is the canonical one, which is different from the case in FR/LG)?
::::Also, I thought that the most recent games that rewrite history take priority over the older ones. In the RSE section we say that the player calmed down Groudon and Kyogre with Rayquaza's help (as depicted in Emerald), not that s/he "stopped Groudon/Kyogre" (as depicted in Ruby and Sapphire respectively), because we use the most recent rewrite of the RSE story, Emerald, as canon. Likewise, shouldn't the GS remakes, which established that Red's story happened in the timeline but Leaf's didn't, take priority over FR/LG (as HG/SS are the most recent games)?
::::Edit: I'm not saying that Leaf doesn't exist. I'm saying that she doesn't exist in the continuity established by the overall timeline (if you believe HGSS or GSC), which I think this article is supposed to be about. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

Perhaps instead of rewording the article to not mention Leaf, we reword the Gen III section to be ambiguous as to it's version:
:"After defeating Hoenn's eight Gym Leaders and, with the help of Steven and Wallace, calming Groudon and/or Kyogre after they are awakened by Team Magma/Team Aqua, respectively, he/she...."
AFAIK, Platinum's story is different from Pearl and Diamond, yet no mention of Giratina is made. Just keep the version ambiguous. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 03:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Its not possible because Jasmine is in the Sinnoh Region right?--[[User:Jason avelino|Jason avelino]] 10:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

:People just say that because they believe the odd-numbered generations take place at the same time. Yet there's zero proof of even that--no timeframes are ever stated for when the games that take place in either [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]] take place. For all we know, the [[Generation III]] Hoenn games takes place five years after [[Generation II]] and the [[Generation IV]] Sinnoh games take place 10 years further down the road, and yet the technology of their respective platforms allows them to trade freely with the remakes in their generation that do take place at the same time as their originals (addtionally, in Hoenn's case, it can even freely trade with two console games that take place years apart). Besides, where was it stated that the [[red Gyarados]] in the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} intro is the one from the [[Lake of Rage]]? Right, nowhere. Yet people are using such a baseless assumption as evidence of the even-numbered generations taking place at or around the same time.

:The only times timeframes between two games are ever stated are the case between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] being three years apart, and {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}} being five years apart. The fact that both of the latter are compatible with all handheld Generation III games just goes to show that we don't know when the Hoenn and Sinnoh games take place, and that all assumptions of them taking place at the same time as the remakes in their repsective generations are baseless and shouldn't be trusted. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 13:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

== Parallel universe? ==

I've been toying with some ideas on an alternate view of the game's history based on a few key facts. Essentially, there must be some concrete level of parallelism between the real world and the Pokémon world, if everything in the games is taken as canon:

*Most (or many) Pokémon are classified by what type of animal they are (Pikachu is a "Mouse Pokémon", etc.), so it can be assumed that Pokémon were not prevalent as a whole in the universe until sometime within the realm of documented history; otherwise, animals would be classified by what Pokémon they are like (if there are even normal animals in the game; the only real indication I know of is the aquarium in the Cerulean City gym in the anime).
*From that point, two options emerge:
**Pokémon evolved from actual animals sometime approximately within the realm of documented history, then out-competed normal animals to near, if not total, extinction. This must have occurred within documented history, for surely even a minute population of a given species of Pokémon would quickly dominate any corresponding animal (e.g., two Pikachu could flourish against thousands of normal mice).
**Pokémon were suddenly introduced into the universe. This could have resulted from several things: Dialga/Palkia/Giratina essentially control all of space-time, so Pokémon could have been transferred from a totally different universe; a population of Mew that existed on the planet beyond human influence, because of some external influence, suddenly evolved into all manner of other Pokémon; or something to that effect.
*Taking the Pokédex entries as fact, refer to Golduck's entry from R/B, which makes mention of the "Japanese monster [[wp:Kappa_(folklore)|Kappa]]." This implies not only that Japan as a country exists in the Pokémon world, but also that its historical and cultural development must have been largely similar to its real-life history, or else such a legend would likely have never existed.
*Other entries of that sort appear, such as Poliwrath's, which refers to the Pacific Ocean, implying that general geography is such that sailing and exploration occurred in a similar way to real life. Also consider the journal entry claiming to have sighted Mew in Brazil (I believe?). As such, we can assume that the Pokémon world was for a long period of time identical to our own, save potentially for minor changes outside of human influence (e.g. Mew population), until some particularly disruptive event thrust the world into an alternate timeline.
*Of course, there must be some limitation as to how much parallelism is accepted as canon; every player character owns the latest generation of Nintendo console at home. What is to be made of that?
*Also consider the technological development of the world, especially based on needs and resources; teleportation is essentially perfected, but there are only a handful of planes, none of which are for passengers (as in Black/White).
*If these points are all accepted, we are given potential insight into the development of Pokémon society within species: Since Pokémon must have come to human attention after the development of language, it can be assumed that all Pokémon capable of saying their names evolved to do so only after sufficient exposure to humans calling them by that name, or else language would have been deterministic.
*Given that Pokémon did not dominate the ecosystem until relatively recently in the world's history, it is important to consider how Pokémon have or have not emigrated across continents. If humans have made contact across continents for some period of time, it should be expected that Pokémon would be able to do the same (e.g. if Pidgeot can fly at Mach 2, what's stopping it from crossing any ocean a boat or a Water-type Pokémon can cross and invading a new ecosystem?). This point requires more research.

I'd love to hear what you think!

== Implications of Steven being Champion and the Dotted Hole ==
What evidence is there that RSE are taking place at the same time as FrLG? The Dotted Hole saying "CONNECT THE PAST" in FrLG and Steven being Champion still in HgSs seem to being evidence that FrLG and RSE aren't taking place at the same time.

== Evidence ==

Where's the evidence for Generations I and III taking place at the same time, and for Generations II and IV at the same time? Black and White show that Platinum is the canon version for the Sinnoh games, and it didn't have the Red Gyarados report. Trading without time travel is a flimsy justification at best. Cynthia never mentions the events of DPPt in HGSS, and Steven only makes vague reference to similar-looking challengers, not to the Aqua/Magma crisis. Is that different in the original Japanese? I forget exactly what the Hiker in Hearthome says about Elm's report on Eggs, can we see what he says in both language versions of Platinum? I was discussing this with a friend (trying to support the same time argument), but I was unable to find any hard evidence that he couldn't come up with an alternate explanation for, so this is all seeming like a lot of speculation being passed off as fact. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 05:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

You're not kidding when you say 'Trading without time travel is a flimsy justification at best'. Colloseum and XD Take place five years apart, yet both of them can still trade with Generation III Games. The upcoming BW2 Games are also extremely likely to be able to trade with the original Black and White, although they take place two years apart.

== Gen III concurrent with Gen V?!!?! ==

Caitlin is the same Caitlin in both Gen IV (Battle Frontier) and Gen V - she looks about 4 or 5 years older which would imply that 4-5 years pass between the ends of the two storylines. Now, there's a trainer in BW2 that mentions the Mirage Tower recently disappearing... does that mean Gen III is concurrent with Gen V?!
Based off that, I think it goes RGBYFRLG---3yrs---GSCHGSS---2yrs---DPPt---4yrs---BW---2yrs---BW2,RSE
[[User:Jjl2357|Jjl2357]] ([[User talk:Jjl2357|talk]]) 21:32, 10 March 2013 (UTC)jjl2357

In B2W2 there are Magma and Aqua grunts that have formed a family both say they were part of the teams in R/S/E "Several years ago". This means R/S/E happens several years before the events of B2W2 which can be anywhere between 3 to 11 years before B2W2 which puts it before Black and White's story anyway. Current placement is most accurate based on events that transpire between R/S/E, FR/LG, and the spin offs [[User:XanderO|XanderO]] ([[User talk:XanderO|talk]]) 02:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Timeline Citations ==

Forgive me, however after scanning through this article it bugs me that the only reasoning (which I can find) for Gen III and Gen I being concurrent is speculation and that doesn't sit well with me.

We know that Gen I and II are three years apart as that's mentioned repeatedly in G/S/C/HG/SS and B/W and B2/W2 are two years apart for the same reason.

We can derive that BW2 takes place after the events of RSE because of the Former Aqua/Magma couple in Iccarus, as we can derive it's after the events of Gen II and IV as Team Rocket and Galatic's failures are mention in N's castle in B/W.

Despite this, it doesn't nessessarily mean that D/P/Pt must be concurrent with G/S/C, likewise with R/S/E and R/B/Y, unless I've missed something?

As for Spin-Offs, admittedly the only one I've played is Ranger 2 and for all I know that could be before R/B/Y as it could be after BW2.

My point is, could we have it mentioned (maybe in the introduction) the order of the games as far as we cannoincally know?

: Besides, it's confirmed that XY take place after BW at least (mentions of something big having gone down in Unova a couple years before the games), and BW take place after RS (don't remember which games, but there's the former Aqua and Magma couple).

==Time Paradox Danger==
Well, I'm also excited for the upcoming games however there is a problem everyone ignores.
as RB(RG) comes with RSE, a remake for RB(RG) that takes time with RSE make sense indeed. and so on for remakes of GS and DPPt.
BUT, and here is a big but, RS already have a stated position in timeline, and if XY and RS will be able to trade with each other, we would yeild a time paradox.
The solutions that would remove this time paradox are as follows:
1. you will not be able to trade from XY to new RS, only through the bank.
2. it will be about 8-9 years after the events of the original RS, though if I'm not wrong it have been confrimed that aSoR would be remakes of RS with the same storyline and characters.
3. you will get an item or access to a place similar to GSC that will some sort of a time forward machine to be able to trade with XY.

if none of the above would happen, we will have a difficult to write the timeline properly.

== How ORAS fits into all of this ==

Now, as we all know, Zinna leaves a nice little quote during the Delta episode that implies a multiverse. And, as previously stated, ORAS would cause a time paradox if it were anywhere in the current timeline due to various elements such as Fairy types being just a normal thing while it was a big deal in XY, Mega Evolution being somewhat well known, etc.
This obviously points to the sheer implausibility of ORAS being anywhere in the main timeline. With Zinna's quote in context, could it be Nintendo cleaning up their continuity errors for once? All leads seem to point to it right now.--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 05:51, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:Zinnia's quote puts Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire firmly into the same timeline as X and Y. She mentions the ''other'' Hoenn belongs to a world where the Kalos War did not happen and Mega Evolutions aren't well known. ORAS fit into "all this" the same way all remakes do: they replace the older games in the main continuity. - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] ([[User talk:Taylor|talk]]) 06:01, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
::About your points: breeding, Steel- and Dark-types were "a big deal" in the Johto games, and they're all treated as normal, common things in the original Hoenn games, which happen chronologically before. New features are only treated as such in their first appearance; in all following games, they're treated like they have always been there. This is not news. - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] ([[User talk:Taylor|talk]]) 06:03, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
The difference being, however, that Gen 1 and 2 are very likely not the same timeline as Gen 3-6, with RS being something of a reboot in terms of continuity, and GS being firmly established as being after Emerald even before HGSS's release, making the whole Steel/Dark Type and Egg debate mostly moot. The other world she speaks of might very well be the verse of Gen 3, which if ORAS is concurrent with Emerald, would make sense at the time. Compounding these facts is that ORAS would create contradictions, regardless if you placed it around the time of FRLG or the time of XY. In addition, while every feature of the original Gen 1 and 2 were retained, with additions and extensions while towns were mostly kept the same with the exception of minor updates, Mauvile is just one example of an absolutely blatent example of intentional differentiation from the originals, along with axing the Battle Tower/Frontier for no good reason. Also, every major character is redesigned, it seems, something neither of the other two remakes did, with the arguable exception of the main characters. And this is of course, ignoring the contradictions in Mega Evolution backstory- Lucario VS. Rayquaza being first to Mega Evolve and Rayquaza making Mega Evolution vs. Xerneas/Yveltal making it via the Ultimate Weapon's radiation (The latter of which I am admittedly fuzzy on the side of Rayquaza's version). I could go on, with details such as the changing of most of the Gyms, Cosplay Pikachu, etc. Generally the reason new features are treated like they always were there I believe is because there isn't usually any of major significance, outside of adding Steel/Dark and Breeding, which a reboot fixed pretty quickly since technically, it was then correct to say it was always there... --[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 06:36, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

Try comparing pretty much any Gym Leader in ORAS to RSE...--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 13:29, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
::And ultimately, Steven only remains Champion at the end in RS. He relinquishes his title to Wallace during the Delta episode.--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 14:48, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
::The PWT in BW2 makes Emerald being canon even more likely. Blue is counted in the Champion Cup, implying they count current AND former Champions. Not only does Wallace appear, but he does so in the Champion Cup and using his Emerald appearance. It seems as if he became Champion in Emerald, then lost the title again to Steven, if he says he is Champion in HGSS on. [[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 17:20, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Speculation, speculation. The solid fact is that HGSS take place after the Hoenn games and Steven is the Champion - like RSORAS, unlike Emerald. (And have you really paid attention to ORAS? Steven doesn't relinquish his title, he suggests he ''may'' do something like that ''one day''; ''both'' Magma and Aqua are villains in both games, the only difference is which of them is the bigger threat and which reforms first). And, please, don't say there were never radical redesigns in the past, you're insulting everyone's intelligence (Blaine, Karen, the Rocket Executives, there are countless examples). Moreover, PWT is purely fan service and its canonicity is questionable; seriously, it has ''Giovanni'' waltzing around the place. Bottom line: as far as we know, remakes work now the same way they '''''always''''' did. You're desperately trying to find excuses to assume that Game Freak will for some reason change the way things have always been done and somehow deem that a ten year-old game is canon and the newest releases -- telling the same story -- are non-canon. - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] ([[User talk:Taylor|talk]]) 20:52, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
::Giovanni was allowed to be Gym Leader in the first place, y'know, so I doubt anyone would bat an eye at him if he waltzed into the PWT. And since Driftveil was renovated for the purpose of hosting it, and the events with Colress there, I think it's canonical status is spoken for. Plus, the Rocket Execs? If you're referring to Proton and Petrel, the design was still used by Archer, so... there.And I'm not denying there weren't ANY radical redesigns, but they at least attempted to keep the same appearance with the majority of the characters. A good portion of THE ENTIRE CAST is radically altered and there's a blatent sense they aren't intended to look anyting like the originals (Contrast Emerald Brawly with ORAS Brawly, then GSC Brock with HGSS Brock for my point...) Lastly, I find it a bit hypocritical you'd put "No Speculation" on an article that has pretty much no basis for the placement of Pokemon XD. Im am not implying ORAS is non canon either. That's pure speculation on your part.--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 22:25, 13 December 2014 (UTC)

== Separate Timeline? ==

I think Gen VI is set in a separate timeline since Mega Evolution is in the games and isn't in the games prior to them. Also Zinnia states about another Hoenn where Mega Evolution is unknown, which could be the one from RSE. [[User:Ellis99|Ellis99]] ([[User talk:Ellis99|talk]]) 12:54, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

It was confirmed a while ago that the events of X and Y are contemporaneous with the events of BW2 in terms of the timeline of all games as a whole (in other words, BW2 and XY happen at the same time). Plus, it isn't confirmed that the original RSE timeline is the exact alternate Hoenn that Zinnia refers to in the Delta Episode. Plus, I think you took that wrong, even if X and Y are in a different universe, I don't think it is exactly a ''separate timeline'', per se, but rather an alternate universe with a very similar timeline, but with the presence of Mega Evolution and the war. Furthermore, I strongly doubt this would matter much, as this page is already filled to the brim with discrepancy anyways, and Pokemon history is already very unstable and confusing...

==Origins of Weather Trio==
I haven't played ORAS, so where's the info about the origins of Weather trio coming from? [[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 17:09, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

== Error on Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire ==

Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire events(ORAS for short) didn't happen at the same time as original ruby and sapphire, instead, they happen at the same time as the events of XY. the events that happen in ORAS are similar to RS however it's a different universe as was hinted at the delta episode, and also, that explain why looker is found at the battle tower island, not remembering everything, after getting from XY's Kalos to ORAS's Hoenn for unkown reason as it was probably moved between universes!
also, it fixes the trading paradox, as if XY and ORAS are happening in the same time, it's the only explanation of how you can trade betweem the two games(different universes but same time)! whereas it would be impossible to trade from XY to original RS(as RS happens at the past of XY), the assumption that ORAS is not the same time as RS makes sense!!
[[User:Shaked|Shaked]] ([[User talk:Shaked|talk]]) 19:52, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
:We're not going to rely on fan theories like "it would be impossible to trade [otherwise]" to decide that sort of thing. The only things that seem to date ORAS at all (mentions of Kalos around the Battle Maison, a general mention of the Kalos war 3000 years ago (i.e., it's at least ''roughly'' contemporary with XY), Professor Cozmo mentioning working with Sycamore "a few years ago"...and ''maybe'' the general state of Mega Evolution knowledge) don't place it at any very definite time.
:We may be wrong, but we're hardly certain whether we are or aren't. There's a huge rabbit hole we could go down thanks to the whole parallel universe trick. We can't approach the question of ORAS's place in the timeline haphazardly. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:30, 2 July 2016 (UTC)

well, it can't be 'fan theory' as the fact gen II and gen IV, are happening at the same time and gen I and gen III happening at the same time was made as to give explanation why does both can trade with each other, as otherwise no such explanation were needed(as people wondered how gen I and gen III can trade pokemon in between and same for II and IV).
as you stated, you can't know if it is RS timeline or XY timeline, so placing it at the timeline of RS is wrong as well, and ORAS events should be placed outside of timeline, stating it is happening at a parallel universe, or otherwise, no one told you that ORAS happend the same time as RS.
furthermore, there was no problem with assuming that RGBY and FRGL are same universe and GSC and HGSS are same universe as no trading paradox was made! JUST becuase there would be trading paradox between ORAS and XY if ORAS=RS, they invented the parallel universe thingy, to fix it up.(if in the future a remake of diamond and pearl is made, they can "play" with that parallel universe even again).

Core series

Shaked: /* Content model */ added information about connecting cities and about forests

{{Move|Core games}}
The '''core series'''<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/3ds/pokemonxy/0/1 Iwata Asks : Pokémon X & Pokémon Y : Pokémon Born Anew]</ref><ref>[http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/02/16/pokemons-master-speaks Pokemon's Master Speaks - IGN]</ref> of the [[Pokémon games]] or '''core games'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20131008075239/http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/vg_pokemonxy_gf_interview-2013-10-04/ Inside the Minds behind Pokémon! | News | Pokemon.com]</ref>, commonly referred to as the '''main series''' or '''mainline games''' by fans, is the game series that is always released on a [[Nintendo]] {{wp|Handheld game console|handheld system}} and developed by [[Game Freak]], which follow the now-standard model of a {{player}}'s journey through a specific [[region]] to catch and raise {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, battle {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, earn [[Badge]]s from [[Gym Leader]]s, and defeat the [[Pokémon League]] to enter the [[Hall of Fame]] there.

Counting each game individually, there are currently 24 games in the series internationally, 25 in Japan, and 15 in {{pmin|South Korea}}. Counting paired individual games as a single release, there are currently 14 games in the series internationally, 15 in Japan, and 8 in South Korea.

Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was standard for the Western releases of the core series games to include the label ''Version'' in their title, although this was seldom used by the Japanese releases. In Japanese and Korean, the series is called the '''''Pocket Monsters Series''''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターシリーズ'''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game-series/ ゲームポケットモンスターシリーズ | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref>, Korean: '''포켓몬스터 시리즈'''<ref>[http://pokemonkorea.co.kr/?inc=game-game_list&GameGroup=P 포켓몬 공식 사이트]</ref>), as core series games all contain the full name ''Pocket Monsters'' (Japanese: ポケットモンスター, Korean: 포켓몬스터) in their title, whereas side series and [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] use the abbreviation ''Pokémon'' (Japanese: ポケモン, Korean: 포켓몬) in the title instead; however, the Japanese releases of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] use ''Pocket Monsters'' in English subtitles, despite the titles using ''Pokémon'' in {{wp|kana}}.

==Classification==
===Content model===
While there are no strict rules that make a game a core series game, and previously assumed rules are continuously broken, the games generally have a similar plot and mechanics.

The {{player}} begins the game in a small town or city of a given [[region]], having no {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of their own. Through a course of events, the player will receive a [[starter Pokémon]] from the region's [[Pokémon Professor]]; the starter Pokémon is always a choice of three, a {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{t|Water}} type, and the character who will become the player's [[rival]] will choose (or already have) the Pokémon whose [[type]] is {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} against that of the player's choice. (The exceptions to this are {{game|Yellow}}, in which the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}} and the rival starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and {{game|Black and White|s}}, in which the player has two rivals, who each choose one of the starter Pokémon not picked by the player.)

After this point, the player begins to journey across the entire region (each with their own cities and towns, themselves connected by [[route]]s, caves and forests), {{pkmn2|caught|capturing}} any [[wild Pokémon]] he or she chooses to, and using a [[party]] he or she assembles to take on the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of the region. Alongside encounters with both other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and repeated interactions with their rival, the player must also stop the plans of a [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], whose plans often involve the manipulation of [[Legendary Pokémon]].

After all eight Gym Leaders have been defeated, the player can enter the [[Pokémon League]], where the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} await challengers. The Champion of the region is often introduced prior to the player's Pokémon League challenge, and may aid the player as he or she continues his or her adventure.

Though the game can be considered over as soon as the player has defeated the Champion, there is still post-game content. Often there is a post-game plotline and locations and facilities that could not be previously accessed. Since Pokémon Crystal, there is usually at least one facility specifically dedicated to {{pkmn|battle|battling}}. The overarching goal is the completion of the [[Pokédex]]; after this has been done, the player will receive a [[diploma]] for completing the [[regional Pokédex]] and, starting in [[Generation III]], another for completing the [[National Pokédex]]. Another task was added in [[Generation III]] in order to fully complete the game: obtaining all {{ga|Trainer Card}} [[Trainer stars|stars]].

Another element that characterizes a core series game is that the geography of regions includes at least one [[water route]], a mountain, several [[cave]]s, a [[forest]](with the exception of pokemon black 2 and white 2 versions, always introduced quite early, before the first,second or third gym badge city), as well as a final route leading up to the Pokémon League called [[Victory Road]].

===Release model===
While releases continue to break patterns, there is an overall model that the release of new core series games follows.

When a [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] begins, a pair of games is always released. These paired versions feature virtually the same storyline as each other, but each [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] differ, and some other elements are usually slightly different. This encourages [[Trade|trading]], as it is required in order to complete the [[Pokédex]].

A solitary version is later released with several minor storyline tweaks, but taking place in the same [[region]] and following the same basic storyline. Like the paired versions before it, it will always lack some of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} but will also contain some of those species missing from either of them; thus, a {{player}} of the solitary version must link together with the paired versions to complete the Pokédex as well.

Sometimes, a secondary set of paired versions may be released. These paired versions are usually [[remake]]s of earlier titles and are not accompanied by a solitary version, since the latter's additions and changes are taken into consideration. [[Generation V]] broke with tradition by releasing {{game3|Black and White|a second pair of games|s 2}} as a sequel to the {{game3|Black and White|primary paired versions|s}} instead of a remake.

New generations are typically announced and marketed every three to four years.

===Pokémon===
Most [[generation]]s introduce {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from previously released Pokémon. [[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are almost always included, and frequently appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[Legendary trio|trios]].

In all generations, there are some Pokémon that cannot be encountered until after the {{player}} enters the [[Hall of Fame]]. These may be legendary Pokémon, such as {{p|Mewtwo}}, or simply Pokémon that are not part of the game's [[regional Pokédex]].

Before the release of a new generation, new Pokémon are often used to promote the new {{pkmn|games}} by including them in the {{pkmn|anime}} or in [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]].

===Box art===
The box art for each game features one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which was introduced in that [[generation]] (or, in the case of [[remake]]s, the generation of the original games). This Pokémon is referred to by fans as a [[version mascot]], and with the exception of [[Generation I]] and its {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remakes|s}}, it is always the [[Legendary Pokémon]] available in that game at the climax of the storyline.

In terms of the artwork itself, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and all releases of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, {{game|Black and White|s}}, and {{g|X and Y}} use their version mascot's original [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork for their box art, whereas all other core series games use specially made artwork.

==List of core series games==
In {{pmin|South Korea}}, only {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were released prior to the foundation of Nintendo of Korea and Pokémon Korea in 2006. The first core series game release after this was {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} in 2008.

==Timeline==
{{main|History of the Pokémon world}}
Several pieces of content in the core series Pokémon games depend on the games having a timeline, but a complete timeline cannot be drawn from the games themselves. In May 2014, [[Game Freak]] employee [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]] posted a timeline of the core series Pokémon games on Twitter.<ref>[http://archive.today/D9iPz archive.today] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref> However, the tweet has since been deleted.

The plot of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Red and Green|s}} are contemporaneous. They are then followed by the equally contemporaneous plot of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which are set three years later. {{game|Black and White|s}} are set an unspecified amount of time after those games. [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]] are set two years after those games, and are contemporaneous with {{g|X and Y}}.

It is unknown if the aforementioned timeline also applies to all solitary versions and [[remake]]s. Furthermore, [[Zinnia]] suggests that there are {{wp|Multiverse|alternate universes}}.

==Unused trademarks==
[[Nintendo]], [[Creatures]], and [[Game Freak]] have trademarked several titles in the {{wp|Japan Patent Office}} which have not currently been used but which fit the naming scheme of the core series games. The following information comes from the Japan Platform for Patent Information ([https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/web/all/top/BTmTopPage Japanese], [https://www.j-platpat.inpit.go.jp/web/all/top/BTmTopEnglishPage English]):

History of the Pokémon world

2015-03-25T08:58:34Z

Shaked: /* Contemporary history */ added information about alpha sapphire and omega ruby, edit is poor because made on smartphone

{{fan speculation}}
{{incomplete|2=ORAS stuff, more info on Delta Episode}}
Below is a timeline of events in the '''history of the Pokémon world''', primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]] since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events for the anime series]] as well as [[Timeline of events in Pokémon Adventures|one for Pokémon Adventures]].

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is not entirely clear if legends are true or not, but there are many hints in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Please note that the below timeline is based on speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus then creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}} respectively. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia then succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]] and retreat into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at the ancient [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.

* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".

* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]].

*Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|200px|The Legendary Golems: Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]

* Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the regions, and created the three golems- {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} out of clay, ice, and magma, respectively.

* The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}s before falling into a deep slumber.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil]]s and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

'''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] existed at this time. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. The first humans also appeared around this time.

* 300 million years ago: An ancient version of {{p|Genesect}} was born. {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} lived in the sea.
**Team Plasma later used its DNA to create an infinitely stronger version of {{p|Genesect}} with cybernetic technology.

* 100 million years ago: Species such as {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, {{p|Shieldon}}, {{p|Tirtouga}}, and {{p|Archen}} were supposedly widespread. They all ultimately went extinct, but not before Archen gave rise to bird Pokémon and Tirtouga gave rise to turtle Pokémon.
** A [[Root Fossil|fossil]] is found millions of years later in Hoenn and revived scientifically by the [[Devon Corporation]].

* 10,000 years ago: During the last Ice Age, the {{p|Mamoswine}} population flourished, then decreased when the Ice Age ended.

* At some point in the distant past, the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates due to unknown reasons and becomes weaker.

* At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in the Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the [[Hoenn]] region after years of human worship.

'''3000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] are created.

'''3000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* The Kalos war occurred, the [[ultimate weapon]] was created underneath [[Geosenge Town]], and AZ was given eternal life. This sets a chain of events into motion that leads to the discovery of [[Mega Evolution]].

'''2500 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Relic Castle]] is built.

'''1500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]].
Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.

* The {{p|Farfetch'd}} population decreases due to overhunting.

'''1000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* {{p|Xerneas}} went to sleep in the form of a tree.

** {{ga|Red}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on his Pokémon journey after his rival, [[Professor Oak]]'s grandson, {{ga|Blue}}. After getting the eight [[Badge]]s of [[Kanto]], and defeating [[Team Rocket]] along the way, he then challenges Kanto's [[Elite Four]], then its current Champion, none other than Blue himself. After defeating Blue, Red becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Network Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region.
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon Professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]]. At first, there is a deep-seated rivalry with [[Professor Birch]]'s daughter/son, however, later on, the rivalry is with {{ga|Wally}} instead. After defeating Hoenn's eight [[Gym Leader]]s and, with the help of {{p|Rayquaza}}, calming both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, released from their banishment by [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], respectively, he/she challenges and defeats Hoenn's Elite Four and current Champion, becoming the Champion him/herself, much to the astonishment of Birch's child.

'''Between [[Generation I]]/{{gen|III}} and [[Generation II]]/{{gen|IV}}:'''
* The events of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} occur.

A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Ethan/Kris/Lyra's journey across Johto continues. A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact Giovanni, their former leader. They are defeated, and the new leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After defeating the Elite Four and their Champion, Lance, Ethan/Kris/Lyra then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight Gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their Badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, where he/she meets and challenges {{ga|Red}}.
** {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon like the recently reported red Gyarados in the nearest of [[Sinnoh]]'s lakes, [[Lake Verity]].

Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}}/{{P|Giratina}}, Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself.
* [[Hayley]], a friend of Bebe, opens up a [[My Pokémon Ranch|Pokémon Ranch]].

'''Approximately two years after [[Generation II]]/[[Generation IV]]:'''
* [[Cipher]] and [[Team Snagem]] return in the [[Orre|Orre Region]], and create [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]], a supposedly unpurifiable [[Shadow Pokémon]], but their plans are thwarted by [[Michael]].

'''Between [[Generation II]]/{{Gen|IV}} and [[Generation V]]:'''
* The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the Machine Part in Kanto returns to [[Unova]], intending to reform Team Rocket there despite its second defeat, as he [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|previously stated]]. He later falls in love and has a son, moving to [[Icirrus City]].

'''A few years after [[Generation II]]/[[Generation IV]] ([[Generation V]]):'''
* The events of {{2v2|Black|White}}:
** {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} along with their friends [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] receive their very first Pokémon in the bedroom of {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s house in [[Nuvema Town]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. The three decide to leave Nuvema Town and go on a journey across their region of [[Unova]], with Cheren wanting to learn as much about every kind of Pokémon possible and Bianca going against the wishes of her dad. Upon arriving in [[Accumula Town]] they encounter the nefarious [[Team Plasma]] who announce their plans for Pokémon liberation to separate Pokémon from humans. Hilbert/Hilda then battle Team Plasma's leader, a mysterious man known only as [[N]] who claims Pokémon are his friends. Hilbert/Hilda make a journey across the land of Unova challenging all eight Gyms and earning all eight Badges. After earning the eighth Badge, they travel to the {{un|Pokémon League}} where they defeat the Elite Four. Upon defeating the Elite Four, they discover that N has already defeated the champion [[Alder]] and promptly summons his castle, destroying the Pokémon League Castle. [[Ghetsis]], one of the members of the [[Seven Sages]] reveals that he had the plan to separate people and Pokémon so that he could be the only person in the whole world with Pokémon. After defeating N and Ghetsis with {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} N becomes sorry for all his wrongdoing and flies off to distant lands on his dragon of legend. Hilbert/Hilda, Cheren, and Bianca continue their journey in Unova and get recruited by an undercover officer codenamed [[Looker]] to discover and arrest the remaining six of the Seven Sages. After the arrest of all six, Hilbert/Hilda returns to the Pokémon League, re-defeats the Elite Four, then challenges and defeats Alder, becoming champion of Unova.

'''Between {{2v2|Black|White}}, {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}''':
* Hilbert/Hilda leaves Unova with his/her Dragon to look for N.
* Bianca officially becomes Professor Juniper's assistant.
* [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Lenora]], and [[Brycen]] retire as Gym Leaders to train.
* Cheren, [[Roxie]], and [[Marlon]] become Gym Leaders.
* Alder retires as the Champion, and [[Iris]] takes his place.
* Five of the Seven Sages leave Team Plasma, and Ghetsis and [[Zinzolin]] form a new Team Plasma solely dedicated to conquering Unova.
* A landslide seals off {{rt|10|Unova}} and a majority of {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, forcing another {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} to be built. Another landslide seals off [[Challenger's Cave]].
* Significant construction occurs in Unova:
** The [[Cold Storage]] in the south of [[Driftveil City]] is replaced by the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** A section of the mountain near [[Undella Town]] is constructed into a new town called [[Lentimas Town]]
** {{tc|The Riches}} house in Undella Town is demolished, with new villas built in the town.
** The [[Marine Tube]] is built between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]], connecting the two.
** The [[Castelia Sewers]] are made accessible on Thumb Pier, which lead to Castelia's park, or when flooded, to Castelia's back alley.
* {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} moves to [[Vaniville Town]] in [[Kalos]] with their mother.

'''Two years after {{2v2|Black|White}}''':
* The events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}:
** {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's Purrloin from Team Plasma, the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After earning their seventh badge from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, Ghetsis. Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn Reshiram/Zekrom back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to turn Kyurem into [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black/White Kyurem]]. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two Dragon Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the Pokémon League. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend Victory Road, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new Champion, Iris. After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it.
**{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leave his/her home in [[Vaniville Town]] meeting [[Shauna]] and {{tt|{{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}|The player character not chosen.}} who invite them to join them for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. {{ga|Calem}}, {{ga|Serena}} and [[Shauna]] receive their first Pokémon from [[Tierno]] and a Pokédex from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to his/her {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across [[Kalos]] challenging eight Gyms in order to earn eight Badges to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Along their journey they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[fossils]] from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the Pokéballs from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, first being on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena are contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals himself to be the leader of Team Flare and his intention to use the "[[ultimate weapon]]" to eliminate all life in the world. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre first in [[Lysandre Labs]] and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon omits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where he/she defeats the [[Elite Four]], becoming [[Champion]] of [[Kalos]]. After becoming Champion Looker contacts {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} to help him fight crime in Lumiose City.

Between X and Y and Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:

- the Batlle girls from the Pokemon mansion at south Kalos traveled over to hoen in order to challenge trainers at the battle resort there.

'''Few years after X and Y'''
*The events of Pokemon Omega Ruby land Alpha Sapphire - occurs at different hoen universe than the one of ruby,sapphire and emerald - a parallel universe and time

==Trivia==
* The chronology of the games was confirmed by [[Toshinobu Matsumiya]] on Twitter in May 2014.<ref>[http://archive.today/D9iPz archive.today] (archived from [https://twitter.com/matsumiyan/status/464052839870787584 the original])</ref>
* In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Zinnia]] suggests the existence of another Hoenn region, indicating a {{wp|multiverse}} with parallel timelines.

Talk:History of the Pokémon world

2014-05-19T15:16:23Z

Shaked:

==Shaping this article==
I think this article needs to be redesigned... "history" is a bit of a general term - there are differences between the histories in different parts on the cannon (games, anime and different manga series have contradicted each other several times in the past). We need to make rules to decide what goes in and what doesn't...--[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|ElectAbuzzzz]] 12:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

It may not even be possible to write such an article since there is not much historical information, not to mention a good part of it is legend. (Then again, in this world it seems legends are generally true.) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it's more accurate to say that the Pokemon that ''appear'' in legend are true. There's no solid evidence to say that the Sinnoh Myths aren't simply that: Myth. I feel that until Nintendo officially confirms that Arceus did in fact create the Universe, or any other legend, such as Regigigas moving the continents, we should treat them purely as myth and/or theory, and not include them with articles dealing with fact, such as this Timeline.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 03:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The timeline must have another sub article--[[User:Joshuamanimtim2|Snorlax]] 10:30, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Should the spinoff games (Colosseum, XD, Ranger, Snap...) fit in anywhere? There's not a lot of evidence linking those to the handheld games... is there any way to put them in? --[[User:Kayube|Kayube]] 04:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
:I doubt it. There is no indication that any events in the non-handheld games are canon to the basic storyline, so there's no real point to including it here. On another note, it's my personal opinion that this needs to be moved to a different article, because there isn't much of the history that has been confirmed; most of it, as has been mentioned, is legend and theory. Regardless, I'm going to try to clean this up a bit and Wikify it some. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 15:40, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
::Well, the Pokemon Ranger games seem to actually reference events from the games (and also is the reason why {{p|Manaphy}} even exists in the main games.) If we aren't going to count the Ranger games are canon to the basic storyline, then we shouldn't count Manaphy as canon, either, since that's the only EVENT pokemon in the main series that debuted in a side game/spinoff game rather than in the main game series. Besides, since we can't transfer any prior gen pokemon onto the R/S/E/FR/LG game packs, Pokemon Colosseum is currently the only legit way to even ACQUIRE Celebi (though this is only in the Japanese version), and it (as well as it's sequel, Gale of darkness) is also the only OTHER legit way to acquire Ho-Oh and Lugia if you didn't get the Mystic tickets in the Emerald/FR/LG versions. now, for games like Mystery dungeon, yes, those SHOULDN'T be counted as canon in there, since that's an Alt universe. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 13:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
:::What should NOT be considered canon is all this fan-made BS about Pokemon populations decreasing, when the unobtainables came into being, how Doduo/Dodrio came to have multiple heads, etc. -- [[User:Umbee|Umbee]] 22:01, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Do you think the "Contemporary History" should be moved to a new article called "Timeline of events in the games"? This article is supposed to be about how the Pokémon Universe developed, not what happened in it afterwards.

== Can anyone state where it was said that the S.S. Tidal was created in the 1990s? ==

I need to know because the article said it was created in that time period, and yet I don't really recall the games even stating that it was created in the 1990s (In fact, I don't even recall it even mentioning the date of when it was created at all).
:Don't forget to sign your comment with four tildes <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>. On to the subject i agree there is no mention of when it was built nor is there mention of its age and assume its age from the release date. So Any suggestions on what to do with it?

I created it. Sorry. But we could leave it as it is. [[User:Joshuamanimtim2|K.J.Boring]] 11:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

==Multiple Mew!?==
Alright, who said that Mew were plentiful soon after the creation of the Pokémon world? And how does anyone know that [[Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)|this Mew]] is different from [[Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)|that Mew]]? It could just be a different voice actor. [[User:Palkiajosh|パルキアJosh]] 23:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
*Ok, about the reason why Mew from Mewtwo Strikes Back being different from the Mew from Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, it's for a couple of reasons. Yes, the voice doesn't necessarily mean much, however, MSB's Mew's Japanese VA was definitely in the 8th Movie as he (she? I don't really know the VA's gender) was the one who voiced Sir Aaron in that Movie. I mean, why would they give Mew a different VA (assuming that it IS the same one) if it's original VA is still very much available? Plus, the one from Movie 1 was very far from Kanto, and If this were the same mew, it would spend most of it's time inside of a Lake/Jungle than in a deciduous forest with a [[Tree of Beginning|Tree-like Rock formation]], not to mention that MSB's Mew lives a considerably far distance from Kanto, or heck, any of the regions that have been seen thus far, while LatMoM's Mew was located, if not in Kanto, then just barely beyond the border. As for the multiple parts, I'm guessing the fossilized remains of a Mew, as well as it being a genetic ancestor to every pokemon seems to answer that question.) [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:36, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Don't forget that the first Mew was seen to be sleeping underwater, possibly for a long time, untill Mewtwo unleashed his power on the world, creating storms and kidnapping the Nurse Joy of the city. The most recent Mew, was seen to have been connected to the Tree of Beginning, so it should be assumed Mew can't be away from it for long periods of time (longer than seen in the movie). And it and the Tree are so closely connected, when Mew would be damaged in the first movie, the Tree would also sustain damage. And the first Mew is also living in the Johto area, not Kanto.

== Cleanup! ==

This article is really very well done as it sums up everything so those supposed continuity errors are straingtened out (such as the "Which came first? Arceus or Mew?" paradox). But I really think it needs a cleanup. All it has are random dot points on Pokemon that aren't related. Clean it up!

::There really isn't a paradox concerning Arceus and Mew. It is ''believed'' (according to Dex entries) that Mew is the ancestor of Pokémon, but it clearly states in the DPPt origin story that Arceus was born before every other Pokémon (before the universem even).

I've had an interesting theory, which could solve the Arceus/Mew paradox. Arceus may have created the universe, but what if Mew came around before the universe was created, and Arceus sort of descended from it? Also, Mew is the ANSCESTOR of all Pokémon, not necassarily their creator. So if Arceus created Dialga and Palkia and the Lake Trio, then they are still anscestors of Mew, because Arceus is.

How could Kyogre have expanded the sea with the help of Manaphy and Lugia when it went to sleep millions of years before, and wasn't woken up again until the events of Generation III?

There is definately no archaelogical evidence that it was expanded by Pokémon! Maybe, until we are certain, we shouldn't mention how the sea was created like it is fact.

The article claims that the first writing system was created 1500 years before Generation 1. If this is based on present time, the first writing system was created in 500 AD.

:Writing first came about around 3400-3000 BC. It's still disputed wether Egypt or Mesopotamia had the oldest writing system. And for your second question, yes. Mamoswine are based off of woolly mammoths, so their history is almost the same as in our world. Farfetch'd have been mentioned somewhere, for their history, but I can't remember.

== Leaf ==

Shouldn't we remove Leaf from the article? HG/SS proves that Red's story is the canon one, and Leaf doesn't exist in Red's continuity because she never appeared during his quest. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

:Absolutely not, unless we also remove {{ga|Kris}} due to non-interaction with {{ga|Gold}} in {{v2|Crystal}}. And we're not removing Kris. Just because Leaf doesn't appear in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} doesn't mean we should treat Leaf as if she never existed. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 20:04, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

::I left Kris there just in case that for whatever reason you consider Pokémon Crystal to be canon rather than the remakes (which would still mean the Leaf isn't part of continuity).
::And even if you're going to assume that Leaf existed somewhere, the article is still wrong because she can't have had the same story she had in FR/LG. That would mean that both Red and Leaf had the same mom, the same house, the same rival and the same events within the same continuity, which makes no sense. If she was part of continuity, she would have a different role from Red's, like May and Dawn had in Brendan and Lucas' respective stories. Moreover, the article states that she defeated Green/Blue in the Pokémon League and became the new champion, which can't have happened, considering that Blue/Green states in HG/SS that the trainer who defeated him shortly after he became champion was Red, not Leaf.
::Lastly, the article should be about writing what we know that happened, not what might have happened. We know that Red's story is canon and Leaf's isn't, as they can't both happen in the same continuity. Therefore, we know that Leaf never appeared in continuity. That there's a Leaf somewhere in the established continuity is unfounded speculation, no matter how much some people want her to be part of it. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

:::There are absolutely no acceptable grounds in removing all references to Leaf from the article. By removing parts from the article, you're trying to imply Leaf never existed to begin with, and for that to be true, FireRed/LeafGreen would have to have had only a male player character. Either that or there would have to have been no FireRed/LeafGreen (and if that were to be the case, there would be no HeartGold/SoulSilver either).

:::Those parts from the article you're trying to have removed in no way imply Leaf exists in HeartGold/SoulSilver; to have any area of the article imply any involvement from Leaf in HeartGold/SoulSilver, Leaf would have to be mentioned in one of the sections further below, and last I saw, there weren't any such mentions.

:::In conclusion: Leaf exists, and she always will. The fact HeartGold/SoulSilver doesn't mention her does not change that. Where Leaf is already mentioned, she should be. Where Leaf shouldn't be mentioned, she's already not. Trying to erase all traces of her existence from the article is akin to vandalism. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:58, 19 September 2009 (UTC)

::::Oh, ok. So you weren't saying that there was a Leaf somewhere in the HG/SS timeline. My bad.
::::Anyway, correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this article about the timeline of the Pokémon world? Isn't it about making a recollection of the canonical events in the established continuity and making it the less ambiguous possible (ie: saying that "Brendan/May" became the Hoenn champion only because we don't have confirmation about which story is the canonical one, which is different from the case in FR/LG)?
::::Also, I thought that the most recent games that rewrite history take priority over the older ones. In the RSE section we say that the player calmed down Groudon and Kyogre with Rayquaza's help (as depicted in Emerald), not that s/he "stopped Groudon/Kyogre" (as depicted in Ruby and Sapphire respectively), because we use the most recent rewrite of the RSE story, Emerald, as canon. Likewise, shouldn't the GS remakes, which established that Red's story happened in the timeline but Leaf's didn't, take priority over FR/LG (as HG/SS are the most recent games)?
::::Edit: I'm not saying that Leaf doesn't exist. I'm saying that she doesn't exist in the continuity established by the overall timeline (if you believe HGSS or GSC), which I think this article is supposed to be about. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]]

Perhaps instead of rewording the article to not mention Leaf, we reword the Gen III section to be ambiguous as to it's version:
:"After defeating Hoenn's eight Gym Leaders and, with the help of Steven and Wallace, calming Groudon and/or Kyogre after they are awakened by Team Magma/Team Aqua, respectively, he/she...."
AFAIK, Platinum's story is different from Pearl and Diamond, yet no mention of Giratina is made. Just keep the version ambiguous. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 03:07, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Its not possible because Jasmine is in the Sinnoh Region right?--[[User:Jason avelino|Jason avelino]] 10:42, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

:People just say that because they believe the odd-numbered generations take place at the same time. Yet there's zero proof of even that--no timeframes are ever stated for when the games that take place in either [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]] take place. For all we know, the [[Generation III]] Hoenn games takes place five years after [[Generation II]] and the [[Generation IV]] Sinnoh games take place 10 years further down the road, and yet the technology of their respective platforms allows them to trade freely with the remakes in their generation that do take place at the same time as their originals (addtionally, in Hoenn's case, it can even freely trade with two console games that take place years apart). Besides, where was it stated that the [[red Gyarados]] in the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} intro is the one from the [[Lake of Rage]]? Right, nowhere. Yet people are using such a baseless assumption as evidence of the even-numbered generations taking place at or around the same time.

:The only times timeframes between two games are ever stated are the case between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] being three years apart, and {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}} being five years apart. The fact that both of the latter are compatible with all handheld Generation III games just goes to show that we don't know when the Hoenn and Sinnoh games take place, and that all assumptions of them taking place at the same time as the remakes in their repsective generations are baseless and shouldn't be trusted. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 13:02, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

== Parallel universe? ==

I've been toying with some ideas on an alternate view of the game's history based on a few key facts. Essentially, there must be some concrete level of parallelism between the real world and the Pokémon world, if everything in the games is taken as canon:

*Most (or many) Pokémon are classified by what type of animal they are (Pikachu is a "Mouse Pokémon", etc.), so it can be assumed that Pokémon were not prevalent as a whole in the universe until sometime within the realm of documented history; otherwise, animals would be classified by what Pokémon they are like (if there are even normal animals in the game; the only real indication I know of is the aquarium in the Cerulean City gym in the anime).
*From that point, two options emerge:
**Pokémon evolved from actual animals sometime approximately within the realm of documented history, then out-competed normal animals to near, if not total, extinction. This must have occurred within documented history, for surely even a minute population of a given species of Pokémon would quickly dominate any corresponding animal (e.g., two Pikachu could flourish against thousands of normal mice).
**Pokémon were suddenly introduced into the universe. This could have resulted from several things: Dialga/Palkia/Giratina essentially control all of space-time, so Pokémon could have been transferred from a totally different universe; a population of Mew that existed on the planet beyond human influence, because of some external influence, suddenly evolved into all manner of other Pokémon; or something to that effect.
*Taking the Pokédex entries as fact, refer to Golduck's entry from R/B, which makes mention of the "Japanese monster [[wp:Kappa_(folklore)|Kappa]]." This implies not only that Japan as a country exists in the Pokémon world, but also that its historical and cultural development must have been largely similar to its real-life history, or else such a legend would likely have never existed.
*Other entries of that sort appear, such as Poliwrath's, which refers to the Pacific Ocean, implying that general geography is such that sailing and exploration occurred in a similar way to real life. Also consider the journal entry claiming to have sighted Mew in Brazil (I believe?). As such, we can assume that the Pokémon world was for a long period of time identical to our own, save potentially for minor changes outside of human influence (e.g. Mew population), until some particularly disruptive event thrust the world into an alternate timeline.
*Of course, there must be some limitation as to how much parallelism is accepted as canon; every player character owns the latest generation of Nintendo console at home. What is to be made of that?
*Also consider the technological development of the world, especially based on needs and resources; teleportation is essentially perfected, but there are only a handful of planes, none of which are for passengers (as in Black/White).
*If these points are all accepted, we are given potential insight into the development of Pokémon society within species: Since Pokémon must have come to human attention after the development of language, it can be assumed that all Pokémon capable of saying their names evolved to do so only after sufficient exposure to humans calling them by that name, or else language would have been deterministic.
*Given that Pokémon did not dominate the ecosystem until relatively recently in the world's history, it is important to consider how Pokémon have or have not emigrated across continents. If humans have made contact across continents for some period of time, it should be expected that Pokémon would be able to do the same (e.g. if Pidgeot can fly at Mach 2, what's stopping it from crossing any ocean a boat or a Water-type Pokémon can cross and invading a new ecosystem?). This point requires more research.

I'd love to hear what you think!

== Implications of Steven being Champion and the Dotted Hole ==
What evidence is there that RSE are taking place at the same time as FrLG? The Dotted Hole saying "CONNECT THE PAST" in FrLG and Steven being Champion still in HgSs seem to being evidence that FrLG and RSE aren't taking place at the same time.

== Evidence ==

Where's the evidence for Generations I and III taking place at the same time, and for Generations II and IV at the same time? Black and White show that Platinum is the canon version for the Sinnoh games, and it didn't have the Red Gyarados report. Trading without time travel is a flimsy justification at best. Cynthia never mentions the events of DPPt in HGSS, and Steven only makes vague reference to similar-looking challengers, not to the Aqua/Magma crisis. Is that different in the original Japanese? I forget exactly what the Hiker in Hearthome says about Elm's report on Eggs, can we see what he says in both language versions of Platinum? I was discussing this with a friend (trying to support the same time argument), but I was unable to find any hard evidence that he couldn't come up with an alternate explanation for, so this is all seeming like a lot of speculation being passed off as fact. --[[Gallade|'''エ''']][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 05:46, 15 April 2012 (UTC)

You're not kidding when you say 'Trading without time travel is a flimsy justification at best'. Colloseum and XD Take place five years apart, yet both of them can still trade with Generation III Games. The upcoming BW2 Games are also extremely likely to be able to trade with the original Black and White, although they take place two years apart.

== Gen III concurrent with Gen V?!!?! ==

Caitlin is the same Caitlin in both Gen IV (Battle Frontier) and Gen V - she looks about 4 or 5 years older which would imply that 4-5 years pass between the ends of the two storylines. Now, there's a trainer in BW2 that mentions the Mirage Tower recently disappearing... does that mean Gen III is concurrent with Gen V?!
Based off that, I think it goes RGBYFRLG---3yrs---GSCHGSS---2yrs---DPPt---4yrs---BW---2yrs---BW2,RSE
[[User:Jjl2357|Jjl2357]] ([[User talk:Jjl2357|talk]]) 21:32, 10 March 2013 (UTC)jjl2357

In B2W2 there are Magma and Aqua grunts that have formed a family both say they were part of the teams in R/S/E "Several years ago". This means R/S/E happens several years before the events of B2W2 which can be anywhere between 3 to 11 years before B2W2 which puts it before Black and White's story anyway. Current placement is most accurate based on events that transpire between R/S/E, FR/LG, and the spin offs [[User:XanderO|XanderO]] ([[User talk:XanderO|talk]]) 02:47, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

== Timeline Citations ==

Forgive me, however after scanning through this article it bugs me that the only reasoning (which I can find) for Gen III and Gen I being concurrent is speculation and that doesn't sit well with me.

We know that Gen I and II are three years apart as that's mentioned repeatedly in G/S/C/HG/SS and B/W and B2/W2 are two years apart for the same reason.

We can derive that BW2 takes place after the events of RSE because of the Former Aqua/Magma couple in Iccarus, as we can derive it's after the events of Gen II and IV as Team Rocket and Galatic's failures are mention in N's castle in B/W.

Despite this, it doesn't nessessarily mean that D/P/Pt must be concurrent with G/S/C, likewise with R/S/E and R/B/Y, unless I've missed something?

As for Spin-Offs, admittedly the only one I've played is Ranger 2 and for all I know that could be before R/B/Y as it could be after BW2.

--

My point is, could we have it mentioned (maybe in the introduction) the order of the games as far as we cannoincally know?

: Besides, it's confirmed that XY take place after BW at least (mentions of something big having gone down in Unova a couple years before the games), and BW take place after RS (don't remember which games, but there's the former Aqua and Magma couple).

==Time Paradox Danger==
Well, I'm also excited for the upcoming games however there is a problem everyone ignores.
as RB(RG) comes with RSE, a remake for RB(RG) that takes time with RSE make sense indeed. and so on for remakes of GS and DPPt.
BUT, and here is a big but, RS already have a stated position in timeline, and if XY and RS will be able to trade with each other, we would yeild a time paradox.
The solutions that would remove this time paradox are as follows:
1. you will not be able to trade from XY to new RS, only through the bank.
2. it will be about 8-9 years after the events of the original RS, though if I'm not wrong it have been confrimed that aSoR would be remakes of RS with the same storyline and characters.
3. you will get an item or access to a place similar to GSC that will some sort of a time forward machine to be able to trade with XY.

if none of the above would happen, we will have a difficult to write the timeline properly.

Shaked: added information about the pickup ability

'''Ether''' and its upgrade, '''Elixir''' (misspelled as ''Elixer'' in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}), are a type of [[item]] from the [[Pokémon games]]. They can be used during or outside of a {{pkmn|battle}} to restore a [[move]]'s {{PP}}. Unlike most items, a player can't buy them in any shop; instead, they can often be found on the ground, whether readily visible or hidden from sight and requiring an [[Itemfinder]] or the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} [[Pokétch]] app to locate. Max Ethers may also be found by using {{m|Rock Smash}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Additional way to find them is by fighting with a pokémon with the [[Pickup]] ability in your party, although the chances to get one are pretty slim and they are only available in pokémon emerald and onwards.

Generation II

2013-11-02T18:33:51Z

Shaked: /* Discussion of Generation II */ added a more satisfied reason why remakes were made. Also, in my opinion, the first reason, about "popularity" is not a fact but an opinion.

The '''second generation''' of Pokémon games, sometimes called the '''metal generation''', or the '''metallic generation''' by older players due to the names of the paired [[version]]s, is a sequel to the [[Generation I]] games {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}}, {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, {{v2|Yellow}}.

Beginning with [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver]] and later joined by {{game|Crystal}}, Generation II began the Pokémon series's expansion-focused nature, introducing to the world {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}} which did not exist and are unable to be obtained in the Generation I games and the new region of [[Johto]]. Many of these Pokémon expand the [[evolution]] families of older Pokémon, while a majority of them are brand-new evolutionary families.

The initial hint that Generation II was on its way came in early 1997, with the release of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s first episode. A Pokémon appears to [[Ash Ketchum]] on the first day of his journey, shortly after he and {{AP|Pikachu}} become friends, that cannot be identified by the [[Pokédex]]. This magnificent golden bird, later revealed to be the legendary [[version mascot|mascot]] of Gold Version, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, was the first Pokémon from a future generation to debut in the anime. The games, initially named directly as "Pocket Monsters 2", were set for release in late 1997, but were pushed back to 1999 with the intention to redevelop the games to work with the [[Game Boy Color]] better.

Details in the games indicate that the storyline of the Generation II games occurs three years after the one in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]], while the storyline of the [[Sinnoh]]-based [[Generation IV]] games indicate that they occur similarly contemporaneously to Generation II as Generation I does to Generation III.

==Advances in gameplay==
In addition to retaining the system from Generation I in almost every aspect, several key innovations were made to the series, most of which have been retained in every generation since.

===Major additions include===
* The introduction of {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 251. Several are [[list of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms of]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions of]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, while others are their own evolutionary lines.
* The addition of 86 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 251 as well.
* The addition of two new [[type]]s, the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types, to balance out the over-powerful {{t|Psychic}} type and the underused {{t|Fighting}} type.
* A new region to explore, [[Johto]], in addition to [[Kanto|the Generation I region]], with the latter accessible after the [[Elite Four]] have been defeated. Johto has its own set of eight new [[Gym]]s and [[Gym Leader]]s to defeat, while the Elite Four has changed in three years.
* [[Gender]]s for Pokémon, opening up the ability for two Pokémon to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} if they are [[Egg Group|similar enough]].
* Two additional boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]], which now includes the ability to move Pokémon directly between boxes, bringing Pokémon storage to 280.
* A new [[player character]], {{ga|Ethan}}.
* Seven new types of [[Poké Ball]]s, all made from [[Apricorn|special fruit]] found only in Johto.
* A built-in clock, allowing for in-game events to be affected by the [[time]] of day and the [[days of the week]].
* [[Shiny Pokémon]], which sparkle when brought into battle.
* [[Baby Pokémon]], most of them pre-evolutions of Generation I Pokémon.
* [[Friendship]], introduced in {{game|Yellow}}, becomes a stat used by all Pokémon.
* Pokémon can now [[held item|hold items]] and use them in battle.
* A special [[Pokérus|Pokémon virus]] is introduced that boosts stats.

===Major alterations from Generation I include===
* A change in the types of four moves ({{m|Gust}}, {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Karate Chop}}, and {{m|Bite}}). All formerly {{type|Normal}}, they are now {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Fighting}}, and {{t|Dark}}, respectively.
* The addition of {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type for {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}}.
* An improved [[stats|stat]] system, with the former Special stat being split into Special Attack and Special Defense.
* The [[Bag]] is no longer one 20-item container, but has four separate sections for different items: Normal items, [[Poké Ball]]s, [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s, and [[key item]]s.
* A key item can be set to and then subsequently accessed with the select button, for convenience on the field.
* Opponent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s are given individual names.
* {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share|Exp. All}} is upgraded into the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} and is made a held item.
** The definition of "upgrade" and not "replacement" in this situation is due to the items having the same name in the Japanese versions, suggesting an improvement on the item's mechanism and not necessarily a complete and independent substitute.
* [[Town Map]] is replaced with an electronic device, the [[Pokégear]], which also has cellphone and radio capabilities, alongside map functions.
* The way the game handles color on the world map has been improved. Overworld sprites such as the {{DL|Pikachu variants|surfing Pikachu}} no longer change their palettes when moving between areas.
* The type chart has changed somewhat from Generation I:

===Further additions in {{game|Crystal}} include===

==Regions==
===Johto===
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|Johto]]
{{main|Johto}}
Generation II introduced a new region to the Pokémon universe, Johto, located directly west of the Kanto region featured in Generation I. Johto's culture is notably more old-fashioned than Kanto's, especially in the more rural areas, which are more plentiful than in Kanto. Like Kanto, it has a sea to the south and mountains to the north.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starter Pokémon introduced in Generation II follow the same {{t|Grass}}-{{t|Fire}}-{{t|Water}} alignment as those of Kanto. Despite this, they are not the same trio as in Generation I. Instead, [[Professor Elm]] offers {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to the player as protection on an errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house on {{rt|30|Johto}}.

Unlike other generations, where the first Gym is strong against the Fire-type and weak to Grass and Water, in this generation, the first Gym is strong against Grass, while Fire and Water both have an opening. Also, Pokémon available can cover for the weaknesses of the starter types very early on in the game, unlike in Generation I.

====Gym Leaders====
Johto's [[Gym Leader]]s specialize in types different from Kanto's Gym Leaders, with eight of the nine types not covered by Kanto being the specialty types of these Gyms. Like Kanto, these Gym Leaders will give out [[Badge]]s and [[TM]]s on their defeat.

{{-}}

===Kanto===
[[File:KantoII.png|thumb|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
Unlike later games in the series, the Generation II games offer the player the chance, once Johto's Gyms are conquered and the Elite Four is defeated, to return to the Kanto region where the [[Generation I]] games are set. Here, players will find that many things have changed over the past three years.

====Gym Leaders====
Unlike in Generation I, the Gym Leaders of Generation II Kanto will for the most part not give away TMs; only [[Janine]] and [[Erika]] do this.

==Discussion of Generation II==
{{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were among the most-hyped games in the Pokémon franchise, with the innovations introduced in them becoming staples of the series. The later-released {{game|Crystal}} began the series' focus on [[legendary Pokémon]] of the regions in which the games take place, first bringing them into the plot of the game. Due to these improvements, Generation II is highly acclaimed among long-time fans. Unlike future games, Generation II stood as an extension and a sequel of Generation I, and has been criticized by some for this.

Like Generation I's games, the popularity of the Generation II games proved great enough that {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|remakes|s}} were made during [[Generation IV]] as sequels to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Another reason why remakes were made was becuase of the incompatibility between the first and second generations games with the third generation games, which made many generation II pokémons missing from the next games before the introduction of the remakes, as you couldn't transfer pokémon from generation II to generation III.

===Johto thematic motif===
The second generation of Pokémon games were more directed towards mythology and tradition. The three starters were all "pure" element types, fitting the classic Water > Grass > Fire cycle all starters adhere to. Unlike two of the fully-evolved starter Pokémon in Generation I, and at least one of every starter trio since, the fully-evolved Johto starters maintain their single types.

This was the first installment that put emphasis on [[legendary Pokémon]] being actual legends in-game, in contrast to {{p|Mewtwo}} and the [[legendary birds]] of Generation I. [[Ecruteak City]] fleshed out the legends of {{p|Ho-Oh}} and [[legendary beasts|the three beasts]], their relationship with one another, and the story behind their departure (the [[Burned Tower]]). {{p|Suicune}} was, unlike {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Entei}}, unavoidable in Crystal Version if the player wanted to beat the game; the remakes HeartGold and SoulSilver give the same treatment to Ho-Oh and {{p|Lugia}} respectively. Lugia was also glimpsed by an elderly man in Ecruteak City, and others, who stated it looked like a dragon in the sky. Even the uncatchable {{p|Celebi}} was mentioned as the "Forest's Protector" at the shrine in [[Ilex Forest]].

The [[Kimono Girl]]s upheld ancient tradition in both battling Pokémon and dancing. The buildings in both Ecruteak City and [[Violet City]] have an older structure to them as well. The player must navigate Johto and Kanto, beating the new Elite Four, sixteen Gym Leaders and the original [[Pokémon Champion]] {{ga|Red}}. This is after defeating the newly revitalized [[Team Rocket]], searching for the fallen [[Giovanni]]. The second generation expanded upon trading through use of [[held item]]s evolution through the addition of [[friendship]], and {{pkmn|breeding}} to attain pre-evolution or baby Pokémon. Kurt offered a more traditional means of creating Poké Balls via [[Apricorn]]s which proved variably superior to manufactured Poké Balls. Johto is physically connected to Kanto and these games added depth to both regions.

==Trivia==
* Generation II is the smallest generation so far with only seven {{pkmn|games}} and three [[Version|main series]] games.
* Generation II is the only generation where:
** The starters are initially holding an [[Berry|item]].
** The starters remain {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} throughout their evolutions. They are also the only trio whose evolutions do not share any weaknesses with each other.
** The total number of moves are equal to the total number of Pokémon at the time.
** Each Pokémon has a different sprite in the original pair of games (except for {{p|Unown}} and the Johto [[legendary beasts|legendary trio]]).
** New [[Fossil]] Pokémon were not introduced, nor can any Fossils be found or revived (though an {{p|Aerodactyl}} can be obtained through an [[in-game trade]]).
** A Dragon-type pseudo-legendary was not introduced.
** A two-stage, cat-like evolutionary line was not introduced.
* In terms of release dates, Generation II is the shortest generation in Japan, with exactly three years between the release of Gold and Silver and Ruby and Sapphire.
* Generation II leaves the least extra space for Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Storage System}} if [[Living Pokédex|one of every species is caught]]. Only {{tt|280|270 Pokémon in the Japanese versions due to differences in storage}} Pokémon may be obtained at once; there are 251 different Pokémon species available in this generation.
* Generation II features the first main series game, Crystal, whose Japanese title is in katakana only ''and'' that uses an English word, rather than using the Japanese counterpart word in kanji. No game since has been named in kanji.
* Unlike other Generations, should player use a cheat in Generation II game to get into tall grass without a Pokémon, the fight will instantly end (and be treated as victory in case of Trainers), instead of sending a glitch Pokémon.

== X and Y. ==

Since this is going to be a full 3D (instead of {{tt|2.5D|2.5D is when something is made to look 3D, but is actually 2D}})... X and Y (as well Z) are the coordinates in 3D. X is horizontal, Y is vertical and Z is depth. Kinda neat reference. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 14:47, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Where, or WHEN, do people find the truth, find their ideals or have dreams about those two? In the past, the future and the present! Wait that has to do with time! Wait Dialga has to do with time!

There are deserts in the trailer, how many deserts does France have? That's more quintessentially Spanish. I'd say the new region "appears to have drawn inspiration from European landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower in France." But even then, European landmarks is conjecture. Relatively safe conjecture, but still, minefield!! Only thing we can really say is that there's a tower in it that looks a bit French. How do you translate that into Bulbapese?

"Nintendo of America has revealed the names of the two Legendary Pokemon which will feature in the forthcoming Pokemon X and Pokemon Y for the Nintendo 3DS. The Pokemon X Legendary is called Xerneas, which is pronounced Zurr-nee-us. The Pokemon Y mascot is called Yveltal, which is pronounced ee-vell-tall." {{unsigned|BritLucifer}}

== Genetic Generation? ==

Even ignoring that it would be a reference to 3D axes if there were a Pokémon Z, the selling point of this generation is that it is the first generation to be 3D in every sense of the word. I think that's how people will remember this gen, so I thought we would be calling it the 3D generation, similar to how Generation III was called the Advance Generation. X and Y don't have special meaning in genetics outside of sex chromosomes. Even without a Pokémon Z I'd say it's more a reference to the mathematical variables that are used to establish two different things, than to genetics. Like how Black and White are used as metaphors for things that are opposite. That was actually my first reaction when I found out the names of the games, as "Pokémon X and Y" could be used as a term to refer to paired versions in general. Well, what I'm saying is that I would call it the 3D generation. Feel free to disagree, but it would be better than "Genetic Generation". [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 15:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:I agree to an extent - while it is possible it's to do with genetics, it's a bit of a stretch to call it Genetic Generation at such an early point in conception. Also, it does seem a bit less likely for it to be genetics (after all, if it truly were about sex chromosomes, it should be XX and XY, not X and Y. My first thoughts personally were co-ordinates, but that could be wrong, too). Either way, as a wiki, speculation shouldn't be added as fact, right? Thus, "Genetic Generation" should be moved until there is hard evidence that the X and Y do, in fact, represent sex genes.

:::Stadium, Colosseum, XD and other similar games should be referred to as "side series" games of Bulbapedia (distinct from both "main series" and "spin-off").

::::If it's not gonna be "fully implemented", it might as well not have been decided at all. As the wiki pages currently stand, ColoXD and the Stadium games are main series, so if they're not corrected we might as well go back to the old definition, because apparently nobody cares enough about it.

:::::Previously nobody had decided whether they were main series or not. Plenty of people insisted they were main series, and plenty insisted they were spin-offs.

:::Just my two cents to hopefully wind this argument down: Much of the confusion seems to have stemmed from the fact that Phoenixon and HoennMaster were using "sub" as in "sub-boxes" to mean "boxes within boxes" within the "Debut" field in the infobox, and Nickvang was using a non-standard definition of "sub" to mean "a version that is derivational of the original version", and neither of you fully/clearly explained your choice of words to the other, so I think there was confusion as to what people were trying to say. Nickvang, HoennMaster appears to think you were bringing up "irrelevant" things because the article was entirely about the template until you brought up developmental things with a different use of the word "sub".
:::I know that explaining everything step-by-step here probably sounds a little condescending, but I really don't mean it like that; it just seems like both sides are misunderstanding what the other's saying, so I thought it would be helpful to clarify how I see it.

== Only natural hair color so far. ==

Did anyone notice that all of the characters confirmed until now only had real-existing, natural hair colors? Calem has brown hair, Serena dark blonde, Shauna brown, Tierno black (if it isn't a hat...), Trevor brownish-red, Alexa brown and Viola brownish-blonde. All of these hair colors exist in real life (without needing paint). I'm only doubting about the lass, does she have blonde or green hair? So, could it be noted that all confirmed characters until now have natural hair colors, or do we need to wait until we know the hair color of every single character from generation six before adding anything at all?

== Discussion of Generation VI --> Kalos thematic motif ==

Well, I can't edit the page, so I'll post that here. Sorry about my english, it's not my first language. I think that this generation is the life generation and have the life trio(or letter trio by many fans). At the time of writing, I know I forgot some obvious reasons why Kanto is connected very strongly to the Kalos region, but I can't remember right now.

The sixth generation of Pokemon games focuses on the relation between creation and destruction, life and death. The two mascot legendaries, Xerneas and Yveltal, represent creation and destruction, respectively.
Based on the Norse mythology, Zygarde, which probably based on Jormungand, the serpant that lived in the middle world, is suppose to keep the balance between the creation and destruction of Xereneas and Yveltal. The Goal of the main antagonists of this generation, Team Flare, is to eliminate all the human that are not in their team and all the pokemon. By the destruction of creations they hope to make a balanced happy world of them only, as they believe there are too many creations in the world, cuase crimes and wars therefore you need to destruct them. Kalos is very strongly connected to the Unova region, which has a similar motif, of opposites, while life and death are clearly one of them.

In addition, Kalos is also connected to the Kanto region, by the creation theme, as Kanto motif is about genetic and the place from where life begin, as the player is given one of the 3 starters of the Kanto region and the introduction of a new evolution for Eevee, a pokemon from Kanto which has the most unstable genetics. The distruction theme is also seen through the game, as stories about wars and pokemon that died were mention by many people, from team plasma and also from the parfum palace.

Core series

2012-09-07T22:22:55Z

Shaked: /* Characters */ Added infromation about the Champion.

In addition to the five [[generation]]s currently revealed, fans have come to expect '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise, extending the series and bringing about new concepts, new areas to explore, and most importantly, new Pokémon. Despite over 600 Pokémon currently being known to the public, it has been indicated both in-universe and by the creators of the series that not every Pokémon has yet been discovered and not every region has been explored.

==Fan speculation==
{{fan speculation}}
The five currently released generations have established and maintained a series of patterns that hint towards what a new generation may entail. Naturally, a new region, new set of Pokémon, new set of moves, and new characters will be introduced. To some extents, these may encompass new concepts, but the standards set down over the past fifteen years will provide the backbone of the game.

===General===
The player will start his or her journey with one of three [[starter Pokémon]], which will be of the {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type|Water}}s. Eight [[Gym]]s must be challenged before the player can take on the [[Pokémon League]]; a villainous team must be stopped along the way. After the League has been defeated, a range of special areas will become accessible.

It can be assumed that the games will be released initially as a pair, with a [[third version]] (or paired sequels, like {{game|Black and White 2|s}}) following a couple of years later. The third version will expand on the plot. [[Remake]]s of previous games may follow, to be released around significant anniversaries.

Just as {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} have been remade, it is possible that {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} will be remade in Generation V or VI.

The games will be accompanied by new [[Pokémon manga]], {{pkmn|anime}} episodes, and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG cards]].

====Third version====
The third version will expand on the plot, and may contain new designs for existing places, new places, new Gym Leaders and characters in general, new Pokémon forms, more Pokémon from previous generations will become available and more special features. The two mascot Pokémon of the previous pair-games will both be available, usually after the player finishes the main plot.

===Pokémon===
Some Pokémon may evolve into or from previously released Pokémon.

[[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are expected. Recent games feature these Pokémon in roles important to the driving plot. These Pokémon often appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[legendary trio|trios]].

The remainder of the Pokémon may be encountered once the milestone of defeating the Pokémon League is accomplished.

Before the release of Generations II, III, IV, and V, new Pokémon have been used to promote the new games through the anime. {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Chatot}}, [[Buizel]], {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Weavile}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}} are a few of the Pokémon that debuted before their generation.

===Characters===
The first five generations have introduced some stock characters. Two [[player character]] options (one male, one female) live in a small town with their [[mom|mother]]. A previously unknown [[Pokémon Professor]] named after a type of tree will set the player's journey in motion. Eight [[Gym Leader]]s stand in the player's way to the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Champion]], as does the player's [[rival]](s).

Many other characters will exist in various manners: [[non-player character]]s to aid the player, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to defeat on the road, a [[villainous team]], and perhaps familiar faces.

The Champion most of the time tends to be introduced on an early stage of the game, and help the player as he/she continues his/her adventure.

===Geography===
Within the new region, there will be at least ten cities or towns, connected by [[route]]s. Current trends show that there will be at least one [[water route]], a mountain, [[cave]]s, and a forest. The route leading up to the Pokémon League has thus far been known as [[Victory Road]].

In recent games, post-League areas dedicated to battling such as the [[Battle Frontier]] and [[Battle Subway]] have been introduced to provide a new challenge to the latter portion of the game.

===Speculation against future generations===
Naturally, there are fans who do not see future generations as a possibility, and feel that the Pokémon franchise has done its dash.

New generations are typically marketed and announced about every three years, although the most recent two generations have been the central focus of the franchise for closer to four years. It remains unknown whether a sixth generation will be announced following this pattern (placing its release in 2014 or 2015), or if it will be announced at all.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Groudon possesses the ability to expand continents. In ancient times it came in conflict with {{p|Kyogre}}, a Pokémon with the ability to expand the oceans. In Pokémon {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}} Versions, Groudon is sought after by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to create more habitats for land Pokémon by lowering the sea level.

Groudon is the version mascot of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Ruby|s}}, appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is a part of the [[Weather trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, dinosaur-like creature with a gray underside and covered in red, segmented plates of thick skin which act as armor. There are also spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. It has four claws on each hand, three claws on each foot, and four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail. Groudon also has blue marking stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

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

===Special abilities===
Groudon {{a|Drought|emanates heat}}, evaporating surrounding water and causing constant [[Weather conditions|bright sunlight]] similar to the effects of {{m|Sunny Day}}. The sunlight lasts even after Groudon has left the vicinity. It is thought to have been the creator of land in the [[Pokémon world]]. It can heat up the air around it to cause static charge, enabling it to use some {{type|electric}} moves. It can also learn {{m|SolarBeam}}, which can be a reliable way to fight off {{type|Water}}s when combined with its constant sun. Groudon is also a natural burrower that can dig its way quickly into the land and can even bore through solid rock.

===Behavior===
Slow, stoic, and heavy ({{tt|2094 pounds|950 kilograms}}), this super-heavyweight created the land, according to Hoenn legend. It sleeps underground in large magma chambers, and causes volcanoes to erupt when it awakens. It is said to appear before those with shining silver spirits. If it encounters its rival {{p|Kyogre}}, Groudon will engage Kyogre in a fight to the death.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Groudon sleeps miles below the ground (occasionally in deep, hot magma pockets), and is therefore nearly impossible to find in the wild without awakening it.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Groudon anime.png|thumb|right|Groudon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Groudon (M06)]]====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', [[Butler|a former Team Magma scientist]], working as a magician at the carnival, wishes to use {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a {{mov|Groudon|manifestation of pure evil that had the appearance of a Groudon|6}}. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy the false Groudon.

====Other====
Groudon's first anime appearance was in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but didn't have the correct orb to control it. Team Aqua planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who have captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred during the following episode, ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Groudon made its debut in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', a Groudon appeared as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}.

Groudon makes a cameo during the introduction of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' and ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Maxie Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua|Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Mack]], [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to battle {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:SSBB Groudon.png|thumb|right|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone who comes into contact with it to be set on fire and sent flying.

==== Trophy Information ====

''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In battle, it summons sunlight to bathe the area. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. Groudon will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fire balls at the Poké Ball to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Groudon will be captured.
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon:Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]:When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen, then Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. Team ACT will then go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, then a new team, comprised of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}. When they get defeated, you have to go to [[Magma Cavern]] and defeat Groudon
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing Fogbound Lake's existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Fake Groudon.png|thumb|Fake or Virus Groudon]]
[[File:Terrel.png|thumb|Terrell's Groudon Costume]]
* Groudon is the heaviest Pokémon in existence to date.
* Groudon shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Torterra}}; they are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Groudon has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Although Groudon is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].
* Groudon is the only non-{{type|Fire}} Pokémon able to learn {{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Lava Plume}}, and {{m|Eruption}} by leveling up.
* In the anime it is portrayed as tall as a skyscraper, but in actual fact it's only 11'06", the same height as {{p|Arbok}}.
** However, as with all snake-based Pokémon, it would appear that Arbok's height is in fact its length.
* A Groudon costume is worn by Terrell in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].
* Although Groudon is seen to be bathing in magma, Groudon can be afflicted by a {{status|burn}}.
* Groudon is one of two Pokémon that shares no types with other main series version mascots. The other is {{p|Venusaur}}.
* On the DVD cover of Jirachi: Wish Maker, Groudon is depicted in a normal state. However, the main storyline Groudon was not in a normal state at all, and was a [[Groudon (M06)|fake or 'virus' Groudon]].
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], before [[Michael]] can get to [[Makan]], he has to fight [[Chobin]]. And, after defeating him, has to fight him again, only this time, Chobin is in a [[Robo Groudon]] which is a creation of Dr. Kaminko.
* So far, Groudon is the only Legendary [[Generation III]] Pokémon to have never appeared in any movie (only in introductions, though a [[Groudon (M06)|fake one]] appears in the [[M06|sixth movie]]).

===Origin===
Groudon is modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Behemoth}}, the unconquerable primal master of the land. Its counterparts were {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Ziz}}. Just as Groudon is in conflict with Kyogre, it was said that at the end of time Behemoth and Leviathan would start a battle that would kill them both. However, the behemoth is usually depicted as a warthog/hippopotamus-like creature; in the same way that {{p|Kyogre}} is not based on traditional depictions of the leviathan. Instead, Groudon's appearance seems to have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' and from various species of ''{{wp|Ankylosauria}}'' such as ''{{wp|Euoplocephalus}}''. The Hebrew word for Behemtoh is now used for the plural form of beasts and animals(land animals such as cows and sheeps) in modern Hebrew, which may be why Groudon's appearance also draws inspiration from beast creatures(dinosaurs) and land animals.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord''). ''Don'' also means ''tooth'' in Ancient Greek and is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names, which Groudon somewhat resembles. It may also involve 土 ''do'' (ground) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for a very loud crashing noise).

Elite Four

2012-05-16T19:41:39Z

Shaked: /* In other languages */

The '''Elite Four''' (Japanese: {{tt|'''四天王'''|shitennō}} ''{{wp|Four Heavenly Kings}}'') are four [[Pokémon Trainer]]s who are regarded as the toughest in their [[region]]al [[Pokémon League]], short of the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Those who challenge the Elite Four must have won all eight [[Badge]]s from that region and face all four and the current Champion consecutively without losing to any of them.

One group resides on [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Kanto]], and are considered the best Trainers in both Kanto and [[Johto]]; another is in [[Ever Grande City]] in [[Hoenn]]; two more reside at the unnamed Pokémon Leagues in {{si|Pokémon League|Sinnoh}} and {{un|Pokémon League|Unova}}.

==Kanto/Johto Elite Four==
===Generation I and III===
In the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and their [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|remakes]], the Elite Four at the [[Indigo Plateau]] consists of:

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png|thumb|220px|right|The Sinnoh Elite Four in the anime]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} infrequently meet the members of the Elite Four, who then impart them with battle strategies. So far, Ash has encountered the complete [[Kanto]] group:
*[[Lorelei]] in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'' (named 'Prima' in the English dub)
*[[Bruno]] in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected]]''
*[[Agatha]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''
*[[Lance]] in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' (mentioned to be the {{pkmn|Champion}} rather than a regular member of the Elite Four)
Ash has also met [[Koga]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', though merely as [[Fuchsia City]]'s Gym Leader and not as an Elite Four member.

From [[Hoenn]], Ash has met:
* {{EF|Drake}} in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''

Ash has also met the entire [[Sinnoh]] Elite Four as well:
*{{EF|Aaron}} in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]''
*[[Bertha]] in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]''
*{{EF|Flint}} in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''
*[[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]''

In [[Unova]], [[Alder]] first appeared in a flashback of [[Trip]]'s childhood in ''[[BW031|Ash and Trip's Third Battle!]]''. Ash met him in ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]''. None of the Unova Elite Four have appeared yet.

It has been stated by [[Lucian]] in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'' that when a Trainer wins their respective region's [[Pokémon League Conference|Conference Tournament]], they can participate in the Champion League, fighting the four members of that region's Elite Four, and then possibly the Champion as well.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:First Elite Four Adventures.png|110px|thumb|Kanto Elite Four in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Kanto Elite Four made their first appearance in [[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]] watching the final battle between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} before serving as the primary antagonists for the {{chap|Yellow}} of the manga. They are each said to be so powerful that triad leaders of [[Team Rocket]], [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], and [[Sabrina]] all had to (begrudgingly) team up with the protagonists and [[Blaine]] to take just a single one of them.

The Johto Elite Four is formed at the end of the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}. It consists of accomplished Pokémon Trainers that were formerly part of criminal organizations, who would eventually rise as the official Elite Four of the [[Indigo Plateau]]. Will, Bruno, Karen, and Koga united to train together after they were no longer being controlled. They reappeared in the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} participating on the [[Pokéathlon]] and later fighting against {{DL|Lance's Dragonite|In the Pokémon Adventures manga|Lance's Dragonite}}.
[[File:PS245.png|left|thumb|Hoenn Elite Four and Champion in Pokémon Adventures]]
The Hoenn Elite Four made an appearance in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}, helping to find and catch the [[legendary golems]] in order to contain the massive surge of energy created by the clash of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} alongside {{Steven}} and [[Wallace]], their two regional {{pkmn|Champion}}s.

The Sinnoh Elite Four member to debut in the series was {{EF|Flint}}, who made a cameo appearance in the last round of the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. The other members appeared in the {{chap|Platinum}}, where they were enlisted by the [[Pokémon Association]] Chairman to decode the ancient writings in [[Charon]]'s memobook.

The Unova Elite Four first appeared in the {{chap|Black & White}} as {{adv|Black}} cites them during his daily pledge. However, they haven't appeared to the main characters as a group yet. Besides [[Caitlin]], who already appeared in the Platinum chapter, [[Grimsley]] meets Black, [[Shauntal]] meets {{adv|White}} and [[Marshal]] meets both on different occasions.
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* In the Kanto-based games, all of the Elite Four members have at least one Pokémon that is not of their specialty type during the first battle.
* All Indigo Elite Four members are villains in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* The Hoenn Elite Four members are the only ones that don't have higher level Pokémon in future rematches with them in any game.
* Prior to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Elite Four typically progressed in level with their Pokémon in the games. The rematch teams in HeartGold and SoulSilver don't progress in level like in all previous games and even the pre-Kanto teams used by the same Elite Four. In [[Generation V]], all members of the Elite Four use Pokémon of the same levels, as they can be challenged in any order.
* In Platinum, the highest-leveled Pokémon of Bertha, Flint, and Lucian ({{p|Rhyperior}}, {{p|Magmortar}}, and {{p|Gallade}}, respectively) match the final Pokémon that the [[Sinis Trio]] uses from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], in that same order.
** Also, Aaron's highest-leveled Pokémon, {{p|Drapion}}, and one of Bertha's Pokémon, {{p|Gliscor}}, match [[Kincaid]]'s first and second Pokémon, respectively.
* {{2v2|Black|White}} are the only games where Elite Four members used fewer than five Pokémon in their initial parties.
** It is also the only Elite Four thus far that does not force the player to battle its members in a specific order.
* The only types not [[type specialist|specialized]] in by an Elite Four member nor a Champion are {{t|Electric}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Rock}}.
** However, Pokémon of all the types have been used by the Elite Four.
* The Sinnoh Elite Four and Generation I and III Kanto Elite Four are the only Elite Fours in which all members have made appearances in the anime.
* In Generation V, all Elite Four members' (including the Champion's) type specialties have been used exactly twice in previous Elite Fours, at least one of which is one of the two Indigo Elite Four variations. {{t|Fighting}} has been used by both Indigo Elite Four versions, {{t|Ghost}} has been used by the Indigo (Generations I and III) and Hoenn Elite Four, {{t|Psychic}} has been used by the Indigo (Generations II and IV) and Sinnoh Elite Four, {{t|Dark}} has been used by the Indigo (Generations II and IV) and Hoenn Elite Four, and a Champion has had no specialty type in Kanto (Generations I and III) and Sinnoh.
* With the exception of Caitlin, Blue, and Bruno, all Elite Four members and Champions have a Japanese name with three characters.
* [[Pokémon Puzzle League]] features its own Elite Four: [[Ritchie]], [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], and {{Gary}}. Gary serves as the leader of the Elite Four and the Puzzle League Champion.

'''Cheren''' (Japanese: '''チェレン''' ''Cheren'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}, and a [[Gym Leader]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

==In the games==
===Role===
Cheren is a childhood friend of the {{player}} who, like the player, lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]]. While he holds a greater knowledge in Pokémon than his friends and tends to offer the player advice during the course of their journey, his comments are often witty and intellectual. He also misunderstands [[Bianca]]'s humor often, to her dismay. Whilst [[Professor Juniper]] describes him as being very honest, she also remarks that he can be 'a little difficult'; his impatience in particular is often seen throughout the earlier stages of his journey. He is also described as being quite judgmental by [[Alder]].

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Cheren represents those who pursue ideals—more precisely, as [[N]] pointed out in [[Chargestone Cave]], the ideal of strength. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and always strives to become stronger- yet the first time that Alder asked him why he strives to become stronger, he was quite unsure of his reasons. He then starts to ponder to himself how to do so—something that Alder said he used to do with his partner Pokémon as well—and what exactly it means to be strong. Alder also remarked that Cheren is a lot like [[Marshal]].

Like the player and Bianca, Cheren receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Juniper]] at the start of the game. He always chooses the starter with a type advantage over the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle him several times throughout the game. After the main storyline, Cheren can be found inside {{un|Victory Road}} where he can be battled once a day.

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], two years have passed since the events in Black and White, and in that time Cheren has become the regional [[Normal-type]] [[Gym Leader]], replacing [[Lenora]], giving away the {{badge|Basic}}.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Cheren (Adventures)}}
Cheren appears as a supporting character in Pokémon Adventures.

===Be a Master!! Pokémon BW===
Cheren is friends with both [[Monta]] and Bianca, he is very knowledgable about Pokémon, which Monta dislikes. Anywhere Monta slips up he won't hesitate to tell him the right way. He first appears with Bianca when Monta is attempting to capture a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Patrat}} and {{p|Watchog}}. Monta is just about to capture the Watchog which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two Pokémon come out at the same time, one should knock out the one they don't want before they can get the one that they do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insult them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a Double Battle with Monta's {{p|Snivy}} against a Bike Gang King's {{p|Braviary}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Braviary. Cheren battles Monta in [[PBW02]] using his Tepig, {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. He starts off with a lecture about triple battles. With his great knowledge of triple battles he gives Monta a hard time, but is eventually defeated.

It goes in with a {{m|Fire Pledge}} with {{m|Grass Pledge}} creating the combination needed to defeat Braviary.

It battles Monta in [[PBW02]] with {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. It starts off with an {{m|Ember}} on Snivy, before taking a hit for Basculin by switching places with it, not hurting it much. But seconds later, Panpour uses {{m|Surf}} fainting it.

Tepig's known moves are {{m|Fire Pledge}} and {{m|Ember}}.}}

=== Pokémon Pocket Monsters ===
Cheren makes a brief appearance in the very first chapter of {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} where he along with Black and Bianca go to Professor Juniper's lab to get their first Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Cheren, [[Bianca]], and [[N]] are the only Trainers in {{game|Black and White|s}} with animated battle sprites.
* Cheren is the only named rival who keeps his Japanese name.
* Cheren is the second rival to become a [[Gym Leader]], the first being {{ga|Blue}}. Unlike Blue, however, he focuses on a single type rather than a multitude of them. Coincidentally, both of their gyms are defined as Normal Type Gyms.

'''Cheren''' (Japanese: '''チェレン''' ''Cheren'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}, and a [[Gym Leader]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].

==In the games==
===Role===
Cheren is a childhood friend of the {{player}} who, like the player, lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]]. While he holds a greater knowledge in Pokémon than his friends and tends to offer the player advice during the course of their journey, his comments are often witty and intellectual. He also misunderstands [[Bianca]]'s humor often, to her dismay. Whilst [[Professor Juniper]] describes him as being very honest, she also remarks that he can be 'a little difficult'; his impatience in particular is often seen throughout the earlier stages of his journey. He is also described as being quite judgmental by [[Alder]].

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Cheren represents those who pursue ideals—more precisely, as [[N]] pointed out in [[Chargestone Cave]], the ideal of strength. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and always strives to become stronger- yet the first time that Alder asked him why he strives to become stronger, he was quite unsure of his reasons. He then starts to ponder to himself how to do so—something that Alder said he used to do with his partner Pokémon as well—and what exactly it means to be strong. Alder also remarked that Cheren is a lot like [[Marshal]].

Like the player and Bianca, Cheren receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Juniper]] at the start of the game. He always chooses the starter with a type advantage over the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle him several times throughout the game. After the main storyline, Cheren can be found inside {{un|Victory Road}} where he can be battled once a day.

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], two years have passed since the events in Black and White, and in that time Cheren has become a Gym Leader.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Cheren (Adventures)}}
Cheren appears as a character in Pokémon Adventures.

===Be a Master!! Pokémon BW===
Cheren is friends with both [[Monta]] and Bianca, he is very knowledgable about Pokémon, which Monta dislikes. Anywhere Monta slips up he won't hesitate to tell him the right way. He first appears with Bianca when Monta is attempting to capture a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Patrat}} and {{p|Watchog}}. Monta is just about to capture the Watchog which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two Pokémon come out at the same time, one should knock out the one they don't want before they can get the one that they do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insult them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a double battle with Monta's {{p|Snivy}} against a Bike Gang King's {{p|Braviary}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Braviary. Cheren battles Monta in [[PBW02]] using his Tepig, {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. He starts off with a lecture about triple battles. With his great knowledge of triple battles he gives Monta a hard time, but is eventually defeated.

It goes in with a {{m|Fire Pledge}} with {{m|Grass Pledge}} creating the combination needed to defeat Braviary.

It battles Monta in [[PBW02]] with {{p|Pansage}} and {{p|Basculin}} against Monta's {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Panpour}} and {{p|Roggenrola}}. It starts off with an {{m|Ember}} on Snivy, before taking a hit for Basculin by switching places with it, not hurting it much. But seconds later, Panpour uses {{m|Surf}} fainting it.

'''Cheren''' (Japanese: '''チェレン''' ''Cheren'') is a [[rival]] character in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==In the games==
===Role===
Cheren is a childhood friend of the {{player}} who, like the player, lives in the starting town of [[Nuvema Town]]. While he holds a greater knowledge in Pokémon than his friends and tends to offer the player advice during the course of their journey, his comments are often witty and intellectual. He also misunderstands [[Bianca]]'s humor often, to her dismay. Whilst [[Professor Juniper]] describes him as being very honest, she also remarks that he can be 'a little difficult'; his impatience in particular is often seen throughout the earlier stages of his journey. He is also described as being quite judgmental by [[Alder]].

In keeping with the theme of truth and ideals often seen in Black and White, Cheren represents those who pursue ideals—more precisely, as [[N]] pointed out in [[Chargestone Cave]], the ideal of strength. His goal is to become the {{pkmn|Champion}} and always strives to become stronger- yet the first time that Alder asked him why he strives to become stronger, he was quite unsure of his reasons. He then starts to ponder to himself how to do so—something that Alder said he used to do with his partner Pokémon as well—and what exactly it means to be strong. Alder also remarked that Cheren is a lot like [[Marshal]].

Like the player and Bianca, Cheren receives a [[starter Pokémon]] as a gift from [[Professor Juniper]] at the start of the game. He always chooses the starter with a type advantage over the player's starter. The player will encounter and battle him several times throughout the game. After the main storyline, Cheren can be found inside {{un|Victory Road}} where he can be battled once a day.

Monta is just about to capture the Watchog which Cheren tells him that it is not the right way. He explains to Monta to remember that when two Pokémon come out at the same time, one should knock out the one they don't want before they can get the one that they do want. Cheren suddenly decides for all of them to take their Pokémon journey together, which a man on his bike overhears. He starts insult them making him and Monta angry.

He uses Tepig in a double battle with Monta's {{p|Snivy}} against a Bike Gang King's {{p|Braviary}}, it looks like they were about to lose, but they uses a combination attack which Cheren thinks of, fainting Braviary.

List of alternately colored Pokémon in animation

2012-04-21T11:40:03Z

Shaked: Added the heart mark spinda and the none-generation-four-pokemon trivia

Even before the games, '''alternately colored Pokémon''' have made occasional appearances in the {{pkmn|anime}}, with a [[pink Butterfree]] being one of the first to appear in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree]]''. Many alternately colored Pokémon appear in the [[Orange Archipelago]] due to the tropical climate. [[Shiny Pokémon]] began to make appearances in the anime during the Johto saga after {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} were released. What follows is a chronological list of alternately colored Pokémon that have appeared in the anime.

The first one appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. It had not eaten for days despite [[Professor Ivy]]'s effort to make different kinds of food for it. It took a liking to [[Brock]]'s food, however, and was one of the reasons he stayed behind.

Core series

2012-04-20T15:57:24Z

Shaked:

In addition to the five [[generation]]s currently revealed, fans have come to expect '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise, extending the series and bringing about new concepts, new areas to explore, and most importantly, new Pokémon. Despite over 600 Pokémon currently being known to the public, it has been indicated both in-universe and by the creators of the series that not every Pokémon has yet been discovered and not every region has been explored.

==Fan speculation==
{{fan speculation}}
The five currently released generations have established and maintained a series of patterns that hint towards what a new generation may entail. Naturally, a new region, new set of Pokémon, new set of moves, and new characters will be introduced. To some extents, these may encompass new concepts, but the standards set down over the past fifteen years will provide the backbone of the game.

It is generally expected that any future generations will accompany a new generation of Nintendo handheld console: every new game system has brought with it a new series of games, the most recent of which is for the [[Nintendo DS]].

===General===
The player will start his or her journey with one of three [[starter Pokémon]], which will be of the {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{type2|Water}}s. Eight [[Gym]]s must be challenged before the player can take on the [[Pokémon League]]; a villainous team must be stopped along the way. After the League has been defeated, a range of special areas will become accessible.

It can be assumed that the games will be released initially as a pair, with a [[third version]] following a couple of years later. The third version will expand on the plot. [[Remake]]s of previous games may follow, to be released around significant anniversaries. Just as {{game|Red and Blue|s}} were remade in Generation III, and {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} in Generation IV, it is possible that {{v|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} will be remade in Generation V.

The games will be accompanied by new [[Pokémon manga]], {{pkmn|anime}} episodes, and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG cards]].

*'''Third Version'''
The third version will expand on the plot, and will may contain new designs for existing places, new places, new gym leaders and chacraters in general, new pokemon forms, more pokemon from previous generations will become available(bigger regional pokedex) and may more special features. The two mascot pokemon of the previous pair-games will both be available, usually after the player finished the main plot(beaten the elite four).

===Pokémon===
Some Pokémon may evolve into or from previously released Pokémon.

[[Legendary Pokémon]] with myths specific to the region are expected. Recent games feature these Pokémon in roles important to the driving plot. These Pokémon often appear in [[Legendary duo|duos]] and [[legendary trio|trios]].

The remainder of the Pokémon may be encountered once the milestone of defeating the Pokémon League is accomplished.

Before the release of Generations II, III, IV, and V, new Pokémon have been used to promote the new games through the anime. {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Chatot}}, [[Buizel]], {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Weavile}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}} are a few of the Pokémon that debuted before their generation.

===Characters===
The first five generations have introduced some stock characters. Two [[player character]] options (one male, one female) live in a small town with their [[mom|mother]]. A previously unknown [[Pokémon Professor]] named after a type of tree will set the player's journey in motion. Eight [[Gym Leader]]s stand in the player's way to the [[Elite Four]], as does the player's [[rival]](s).

Many other characters will exist in various manners: [[non-player character]]s to aid the player, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to defeat on the road, a [[villainous team]], and perhaps familiar faces.

===Geography===
Within the new region, there will be at least ten cities or towns, connected by [[route]]s. Current trends show that there will be at least one [[water route]], a mountain, [[cave]]s, and a forest. The route leading up to the Pokémon League has thus far been known as [[Victory Road]].

In recent games, post-League areas dedicated to battling such as the [[Battle Frontier]] and [[Battle Subway]] have been introduced to provide a new challenge to the latter portion of the game.

===Speculation against future generations===
Naturally, there are fans who do not see future generations as a possibility, and feel that the Pokémon franchise has done its dash.

New generations are typically marketed and announced about every three years, although the most recent two generations have been the central focus of the franchise for closer to four years. It remains unknown whether a sixth generation will be announced following this pattern (placing its release in 2014 or 2015), or if it will be announced at all.

'''Following A Maiden's Voyage!''' (Japanese: '''旅立ち！フタバタウンからマサゴタウンへ！！''' ''Setting Off! From {{tt|Futaba Town|Twinleaf Town}} to {{tt|Masago Town|Sandgem Town}}!!'') is the first episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 467th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It aired in Japan on September 28, 2006, the same day as the Japanese release of the Nintendo DS games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. It aired in the US on April 20, 2007, two days before the American release of Diamond and Pearl.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode begins early in the morning, with the sun shining brightly into the bedroom of a young girl who is just waking up on the dawn of one of the most important days of her life: the start of her adventures with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She turns off her alarm and sits up in bed, only to fall back into bed again and hides in the sheets. She eventually gets up and pushes the window open to look out at her town. Today she will get her {{pkmn2|starter|first Pokémon}}.

Sometime later, the girl, named {{an|Dawn}}, is already half-way dressed when [[Johanna|her mother]] appears. Dawn lets her in along with a {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}}. The two greet each other while Glameow quickly visits Dawn, then rests on the bed. Downstairs, mother and daughter discuss Dawn's plans over coffee and Dawn pulls out a postcard that she received from [[Professor Rowan]], inviting her to his laboratory to pick up her first Pokémon. The postcard also contains a map to his lab, and pictures of the three Pokémon that she will be able to choose from. Dawn's mother wonders what Pokémon her daughter will choose and Dawn looks over at the pictures of the three Pokémon: {{p|Turtwig}} the {{type2|Grass}}, {{p|Chimchar}} the {{type2|Fire}}, and {{p|Piplup}} the {{type2|Water}}. Dawn then comments that regardless, all three Pokémon would make a great partner in her bid to become a top {{pkmn|Coordinator}} just like her mother. In her younger years, Dawn's mother had earned many certificates and trophies, which inspire Dawn. She begins fantasizing about performing in {{pkmn|Super Contest|Contest}}s with the three different Pokémon, acting out all her actions while her mother watches on.

Later, Dawn prepares to leave for her journey, lugging a suitcase behind her full of dresses and jewelry. Her mother, standing on the house porch, tells her to pack more sensibly. They go inside, where she fits everything that Dawn will need in a small backpack. Before she can leave on her journey, her mother gives her one last thing to take: her first contest [[Ribbon]]. Dawn thanks her mom, gladly taking it and dashes over to her [[bicycle|bike]]. Dawn then sets out towards [[Sandgem Town]] from her home in [[Twinleaf Town]] along {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}. She arrives in a town, and runs into a building which she believes to be the Professor's lab, only to find that it is a restaurant. Even with a map as a guide, she gets lost in the town, following every possible direction but unable to find the lab. While reading her map, she bumps into a man who reveals himself to be Professor Rowan, who offers to guide her to his laboratory.

Meanwhile, at the lab, Professor Rowan's assistants are chatting while examining and feeding the three starter Pokémon. Two other assistants arrive in the room with a {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Staraptor}}. However, a fight quickly brews when Chimchar steals the last of Piplup's food. Piplup begins attacking Chimchar with bubbles while Chimchar runs around the lab. While trying to keep Piplup under control, the chaos cause Starly and Staraptor to lose control, who begin flying around and wrecking books and papers. The gust breaks a window in the lab, allowing the two birds to {{m|fly}} through an open window, followed by Chimchar (with Piplup in hot pursuit). The scientists plan to clean up, but as they begin, Professor Rowan arrives with Dawn.

With only the Turtwig remaining, continuing to eat its food, Dawn asks and is allowed to go and search for the four missing Pokémon. After receiving some tips from Prof. Rowan, Dawn runs off towards the forest where the Pokémon were headed. Before she reaches the forest, however, she runs into Chimchar and Piplup, Chimchar still swinging away from Piplup's {{m|BubbleBeam|bubbles}}. Dawn attempts to calm them down, but they ignore her, Piplup changing its target to her briefly before both disappear into the forest. Dawn runs into the forest after them, only to hear Piplup's cry. She runs toward it, seeing Piplup as well as several other Pokémon trapped in a web created by an {{p|Ariados}}. The Ariados notices Dawn, chasing her through the forest. Dawn quickly hatches a plan, causing the Ariados to destroy its own web, landing Piplup safely in her arms. However, after sliding down a hill, Piplup seems very indignant, using {{m|Peck}} on Dawn several times. Dawn begins to berate it, but then realizes that it is simply hungry. Although Dawn offers it Pokémon food, it seems disdainful and won't eat it. This scene is interrupted when several Ariados returns, attacking Dawn and Piplup with several of its friends.

Trapped in a cage created by {{m|String Shot}}, Dawn distracts the Ariados with the Pokémon food while Piplup destroys the cage with {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Unfortunately, before Dawn can escape with Piplup, an Ariados trips her with String Shot. Piplup steps in and uses {{m|Bide}} to absorb the attacks of the Ariados, then destroys them and the cage with a massive energy wave. Shortly after, the Piplup faints, exhausted from having taken all the attacks and the energy used.

While walking through the forest, Dawn stumbles upon [[Lake Verity]]. Piplup wakes up, recharged, but still hungry. Dawn looks into her Pokémon food can, noticing that she only has 3 pieces left. Despite being disdainful earlier, Piplup accepts the food. She then spots Staraptor carrying Chimchar back to the lab, with Starly close behind. Before they can return to the lab, however, the lake ripples, and a mysterious figure appears for a moment before vanishing. Upon returning to the lab, Dawn asks Professor Rowan about the figure. He notes that it could be the [[legendary Pokémon]] of the lake. Shortly after, Dawn is presented with several [[Poké Ball]]s and a [[Pokédex]]. Lastly, Rowan asks Dawn which Pokémon she wants for a starter. Dawn immediately chooses {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, noting that she and it are already a team. Dawn then sets out for her Pokémon journey in earnest, riding away from the lab, with Rowan and his assistants waving her off.

At the same time, {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Aipom}} are on a ship bound for [[Sinnoh]]. Ash boasts about becoming the Sinnoh {{pkmn|Champion}} while [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} watch from below decks. Later, Ash discusses Aipom accompanying him to Sinnoh with {{an|Professor Oak}}, who notes that he will send Aipom's Poké Ball to Professor Rowan. Before they continue, though, {{TRT}} quickly snatches Pikachu from their balloon. Before they can leave, Meowth begins to argue with Jessie, attacking {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Wobbuffet then uses {{m|Counter}}, destroying the balloon and sending Pikachu falling into the forest. The episode ends with Ash and Aipom running after Team Rocket, while Dawn cycles away from the lab.

== Trivia ==
[[File:DP001 senryu.png|thumb|right|200px|Sinnoh senryū]]
* Dawn reads the title card.
* This originally aired as a two-hour special on September 28, 2006, together with ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'' and ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''
* Starting this episode, the animation is now playing in 30 frames per second instead of 24 frames per second.
* This episode marks the only appearance of {{Tracey}} during the ''[[Diamond & Pearl series]]'', and also marks his most recent appearance to date.
* The part where Dawn thinks about having each of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] echoes Ash's dream in the [[EP001|first episode]]. Incidentally, Ash's first choice for a starter was also the {{type2|Water}} of his region, {{p|Squirtle}}.
* An instrumental version of ''[[By Your Side ~Hikari's Theme~]]'' is played as background music.
* Piplup's behavior when Dawn offered it food is exactly as described in the Pokédex: Piplup have high pride and hate to receive food from people.
[[File:Projected soul Mesprit.png|thumb|right|200px|Mesprit in projected soul form.]]
* Dawn seeing Mesprit is mentioned in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'' where Ash links it to his seeing {{an|Ho-Oh}} as a starting {{pkmn|Trainer}}, though the scene is more similar to his seeing {{p|Suicune}} on the way to [[New Bark Town]].
** {{Ash}} later encounters {{p|Azelf}} at [[Lake Valor]] in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and {{an|Brock}} encounters {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]] in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]''.
* The [[eyecatch]]es used in this episode feature only Dawn.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]] returns to the series after an absence of almost two years.
* [[Professor Oak's lecture]]: [[Starter Pokémon#Sinnoh|Sinnoh starter Pokémon]].
** [[Pokémon senryū]]: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* This episode is the last in the English dub to feature [[Kayzie Rogers]] as a voice actress until her return in [[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension]]. For the next 51 episodes [[Michele Knotz]] would provide the voice of {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} while {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s voice would be provided through recycled clips of Rogers.
* Dawn's {{p|Starly}} clock appears to be {{shiny}}.
** Similarly, there was a green {{p|Pidgey}} cuckoo clock in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' of the [[original series]]. However this Pokémon was not shiny.
* The music played with the title card is different in this episode.
* The name for this episode is based on the phrase "Maiden voyage" which means the first voyage or trip.
*The background music when Dawn is riding her bicycle at road 201 based on the background music of road 201 in the games.
=== Errors ===
* After Dawn finishes the imaginary contest with Turtwig, she twirls around with her boots on, but in the next scene, she is wearing slippers.
* The {{p|Staraptor}} that appears in this episode is far smaller than normal (around the size of a {{p|Staravia}}).
* When {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} is first shown eating in Rowan's lab, it takes a piece of Pokémon food, however, its mouth doesn't open when it goes to eat it.
* Before {{p|Chimchar}} jumps in between the {{p|Starly}} and Staraptor that were brought in the lab, the Staraptor was to the left of Starly but was later shown close-up to the right of Starly.
[[File:PokemonSinnohLeagueDP001.png|thumb|right|200px|The English logo seen in the TV Movie]]

=== Dub edits ===
* When the first three episodes aired together on April 20, 2007, they were made into a TV movie, cutting several parts out. All of these were restored when the episodes aired separately in reruns.
* After the [[narrator]] finishes the introduction in the beginning of the episode, the {{so|Diamond and Pearl|English opening theme}} is aired instead, skipping the eight-second part that shows the English logo for the 10th season. In future airings, the English theme isn't shown for the first episode for reasons unknown.
* After the narrator finishes introducing {{an|Dawn}}, the episode title was cut out.
* After {{TRT}} is seen blasting off near the ending, the remaining part is cut out. After the commercial break, it moves on to the next episode.

History of the Pokémon world

2012-04-13T01:21:09Z

Shaked:

{{fan speculation}}

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]] as it is known to us today. Nobody knows if such legends are true or not, but there are many clues in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Below is a timeline of events in the history of the Pokémon world, primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon game]]s since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events]] for the [[Pokémon anime]].

Please note that the below timeline is based on speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

It is still unknown exactly where Generation V fits in the timeline, but the dialog of both the Team Rocket Grunt in [[Icirrus City]] and [[Cynthia]], as well as [[Caitlin]]'s older appearance, indicate that Generation V must happen at least a few years after the events of Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|thumb|right|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}}. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]], retreating into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at the ancient [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.
* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".
* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]]. Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|right|200px| The Legendary Golems: Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]
*Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the regions, and at some point created {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}s before falling into a deep sleep.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil|fossils]] and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

* '''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''
** Earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] exist. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species.
** First humans appear in the Pokémon world.
** At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the [[Hoenn]] region.
** At some point 300 million years ago, an ancient version of {{p|Genesect}} was born. Team Plasma later used its DNA to create an infinitely stronger version of {{p|Genesect}} with cybernetic technology.
** At some point 10,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, the {{p|Mamoswine}} population flourished, then decreased when the Ice Age ended.
* '''3000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''
** The [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] are created.
* '''2500 years before [[Generation V]]:'''
** The [[Relic Castle]] is built.
* '''1500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''
** The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.
** The {{p|Farfetch'd}} population decreases due to overhunting.
** {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates and becomes weaker.

===Recent history===
This information is based on historic records.

A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. As they are defeated, the leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at the [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto.

Legendary trio

2012-04-09T19:35:16Z

Shaked:

A '''legendary trio''' is a term used to describe a group of three closely-related [[legendary Pokémon]]. Legendary trios can be subdivided into two tiers, normal trios and mascot trios. Normal trios, which are always the first legendaries that appear in any [[Pokédex]] order, are allowed into the many [[Battle Tower]]s and other battle facilities. They are also the only Pokémon whose [[base stats]] total {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 580|580}}. The mascot trios, whose name comes from the fact that all of them are [[version mascot]]s, are not allowed in the [[Battle Tower]], and are found close to the end of the Pokédex in the generation of their release.

Many trios, in addition to sharing at least one [[type]], will far more commonly share their [[Ability]] and base stat total (though {{p|Rayquaza}}, {{p|Landorus}} and {{p|Kyurem}} do not with the other members of their trios). All of the trios have a [[trio master|master]] who created them according to myth and/or is somehow able to exert control over them, though oftentimes these masters are not introduced until a later generation, or revealed to be the master until a [[third version]].

The term fell into official usage from the {{Shiny}} [[legendary beasts]]' [[Wonder Card]]s.
