== Age ==

''As of [[AG001]], Max is 7 years old.''

Was this ever stated in the show? (I know it wasn't in the dub and it isn't mentioned in any of Dogasu's comparisons.) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 23:20, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah, who decided he was 7? It seems pretty accurate but still... [[User:Hatsumi|Hatsumi]] 03:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Hatsumi

I think Max doesn't appears in [[AG001]]. --Netto-kun

His first appearance is in [[AG003]]. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 11:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Didn't the final episode of the Battle Frontier have Max headed back to Hoenn to get his starter? --[[User:Vladek|Vladek]]
:No. He went back to Hoenn to study more about Pokémon at his home in order to prepare for his Pokémon journey which won't happen for a few more years. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 21:55, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

==Max's Appearence in PKMN R/S==
This character looks alot like Max, but it could just be a good look-alike
it's been bugging me for a while, can anyone help?

EXAMPLE: [[Image:Vs kid jerry.JPG|left|thumb|May Vs Jerry.]] - [[User:Gaiden|Gaiden]] 07:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
:As is already mentioned in the article, Max is probably based on the RS School Kid. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 12:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Is it ok if i add this image to the main main max page then? - [[User:Gaiden|Gaiden]] 12:56, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

== Voice of the viewer? ==

It seems to me that Max served the purpose of placing the viewer into the story (notice how he says he saw Ash on TV when he first appears). Max also seems to have a high degree of knowledge about the Pokémon world, but lacks firsthand experience (granted, a lot of characters have started like that, but Max seems particularly facinated with taking in all that he sees). I was just wondering if people thought that might be something worth incorporating into the article.

== Befriended Lucario? ==

Why is that there? He barely even spoke to Lucario. All he did was give him/it some chocolate. Lucario had a much closer friendship with Ash. Therefore, I am removing it. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 22:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

== JWM stuff ==

Anyone got anything about Max from JWM? I just added the candy mountain incident. Shall I add that candy is probably his favorite food? [[User:Kasumi-chan|Kasumi-chan]] 11:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

== Maximus ==

Harley called Max "Maximus/Maximous" (not sre about spelling) could that be his real name? maybe Max is just a nickname. it was probably just a Harley thing... [[User:Hatsumi|Hatsumi]] 00:37, 18 May 2008 (UTC)Hatsumi
:Definately just Harley being Harley. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 01:20, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

== Befriended Munchlax ==
In the movie [[Destiny Deoxys]], Max befriended a Munchlax. Max was the only person worried with the Pokémon when Munchlax runaway. Please, anyone, edit this information in the real article, because I don't no how to do it. Thank you. Croagunk0610. Octuber 2008

== Trivia ==
The trivia datum "Max is one of Ash's only two friends to never have met Gary Oak. The other is May, Max's sister." is false. Dawn met Gary in [[DP045]], Brock and Misty met him in Season 1, and Tracy has met him in Pallet Town. All of Ash's companions have met Gary Oak. [[User:Mellamoandres|Mellamoandres]] 06:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
:*headdesk* It's not implying that none of Ash's companions has met Gary, it's Implying that Max and May have NOT met Gary, while the others have.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 07:05, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

== Pokémon template ==

Under Max's befriended Ralts, should the rest of the Pokémomn he befriended be put into that same template, too? Every other character's page has it. [[User:Takharii|<sc>Takharii</sc>]] '''~''' [[User talk:Takharii|<sc>Talk!</sc>]] 10:51, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

== Ralts ==

Can we please turn Max's Ralts back into an actual page and not into a redirect? As I said on its talk page (which also redirects to this article!), Ralts was a CotD in and of itself, which is allowed by the terms of the notability policy. I'd do it myself but for some strange reason the protection hasn't worn off yet. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 02:31, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

:I agree, it should have a page of its own. It's the Pokémon most often mentioned when Max is brought up (even more often than Jirachi(!)). It's quite memorable enough for its own article. [[User:ShinyAeon|ShinyAeon]] 19:47, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

== Ralts' Moves ==

I'd also like to say that Ralt's known moves do NOT include Hypnosis. Only in Meowth's boss fantasy did Hypnosis come up; Ralts itself only used Safeguard, Psychic, and (possibly) Teleport (it Teleported away at the very end of the episode, but it could have been Teleported by Gardevior or Kirlia, rather than under its own power). I went ahead and removed Hypnosis from the Main Page. [[User:ShinyAeon|ShinyAeon]] 19:47, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is a young boy from the {{pkmn|anime}}, and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}. He is the only main character thus far who was not a [[Pokémon Trainer]] and he did not own any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} during the entire {{series|Advanced Generation}}. He is the younger brother of {{an|May}}, and the son of [[Norman]], the [[Petalburg Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]], and [[Caroline]].

==Character==
[[File:Max farewell.png|thumb|220px|left|Max's farewell]]
Max is somewhat of a know-it-all, relying mostly on book smarts than actual experience. He seems to have come under {{an|Brock}}'s tutelage for real-world knowledge. A running gag in the series is that Max is often excited or happy to experience firsthand an attack or ability that a Pokémon is well known for, such as {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}, or {{an|Jigglypuff}}'s {{m|Sing}}. Max also took {{an|Misty}}'s bit for yanking Brock by the ear whenever Brock sees a pretty woman. Max also frequently shows tension between him and his older sister May, such as telling embarrassing stories about her to others or arguing with her about the way she does certain things. For example, in the movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', May asked Jirachi to "get rid of the problem," and Jirachi, supposedly reading Max's thoughts, {{m|teleport}}ed her to the top of the candy mountain upside down.

Max is unique of the main characters in that he actually knew of Ash before he met up with him. Max watched the [[Silver Conference]] live and then continually watched the videos he made of it. When he stopped to find out who was making noise in the Gym, he was surprised to see one of the competitors standing in the Gym. However, the two did not get off to a good start as Max continued to put Ash down, assuming that he could have defeated {{jo|Harrison}}. After seeing Ash battle Norman, however, Max became impressed with Ash and soon decided to travel with him and May. Max's admiration of Ash has been seen on numerous occasions since then, though he admires his father even more.

The question of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Between the Hoenn starters, it appears that he would have chosen {{p|Treecko}} as that is what he told May she should have chosen. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'' he speculates that he could receive anything. Not knowing who it will be leads to some of the conflict and resolution with his [[doppelgänger]] in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out]]''. At the end of that episode he stated that {{OBP|Max|AG049}} is lucky as he already knows who the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with will be. Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to show his responsibility he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from {{AP|Snorunt|Glalie}}. When the two parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a Trainer.

[[File:Max DP.png|thumb|220px|right|Max taking care of [[Norman's Slaking]]]]
However, while Max does not own any Pokémon he has befriended a variety of different species during his travels: {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, and a {{p|Shuppet}} in the episode ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. He simply played with the Shuppet, after fleeing from the team when he became angered with May. Max has also occasionally borrowed [[May's Munchlax]], such as in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path!]]'' when he needed a Pokémon to take part in an [[Pokémon Orienteering|Orienteering contest]].

Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s. In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s {{pkmn|Trainer's School}} where he battled with a {{p|Poliwag}} against a {{p|Magby}}. He used strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}}, but this backfired when Magby's repeated attacks began to wear Poliwag down. In the episode ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] for a battle against [[Winstrate family|Vivi Winstrate]].
At the end of Advanced Generation, May announced that she wished to travel to Johto alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a Trainer. He is currently staying at home in Petalburg City where he is taking lessons from his father and is helping to look after the Gym Pokémon. Max has received just two cameos since his departure, triggered by May's brief return for the [[Wallace Cup]] arc.

==Pokémon==
Due to not being a Trainer, he is unable to train his own Pokémon. Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped him from befriending or borrowing Pokémon, either wild or belonging to someone else. When Max battles with others' Pokémon, he tends to rely on defensive techniques such as {{m|Protect}} rather than battling offensively.

Max wants to feed it and make friends with it, so Ash gives Max some Pokémon food to feed it. Shroomish is suspicious and uses {{m|Stun Spore}}; causing Ash and Max to quickly back away in surprise.
Ash and Max note that Shroomish is in the city instead of the forest, where its kind normally would live. Figuring that it might have been separated from its Trainer, they decide that they should take it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Max takes out a handkerchief and ties it around the top of Shroomish's head as a gift. The gift makes Shroomish very happy. Max picks up Shroomish and they head off.

After another failed [[Ash's Pikachu|Pika]]-{{TRT}} plan, Shroomish, still in Max's arms, gets very distressed and runs off. Ash and Max follow it. Shroomish goes into the mansion through a broken window.

In the end Shroomish stays in the mansion with Alex who promises to replant the forest.

Shroomish's known moves are {{m|Stun Spore}} and {{m|Leech Seed}}.}}

They decided to bring Jirachi to its home of [[Forina]].
Unfortunately, Butler followed them and got a hold of Jirachi. Using the {{t|Psychic}} Pokémon, he unwittingly created a fake {{p|Groudon}} which wrought havoc all over the forests of Forina. Fortunately, Jirachi was saved by Ash and then used its {{m|Doom Desire}} to obliterate the false Groudon.

After the ordeal, Jirachi went back to sleep, and Ash and the others continued their journey.

During this time, Jirachi grew attached to Max, and formed a special bond with him. It is believed that Max was the one who enabled Jirachi to emerge from the Millennium Comet. He was sad to see Jirachi leave, but he knew that they would always remain friends.}}

Afterwards, Kirlia and Gardevoir arrived to take back Ralts, but it did not want to leave Max and wanted to go with him. Max promised that he would return for it when he is old enough to become a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. It has not been seen since.

==Trivia==
[[File:RSE SchoolkidM.png|thumb|right|A Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald School Kid]]
* His appearance is based upon the {{tc|School Kid}} Trainer class.
* Although Max took {{an|Misty}}'s role of pinching {{an|Brock}}'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he didn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi!]]''. However, he did drag Brock by the pants once in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty!]]''.
* Max and Téa Gardner from {{wp|Yu-Gi-Oh!}} shared the same voice actress in English (Amy Birnbaum) and {{pmin|Spain|Iberian Spanish}} (Beatriz Berciano)
* Max was the first {{ashfr|main character}} besides Ash to have a lead role in a [[Pokémon movie]], as all movies before ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' had either Ash or a [[character of the day]] with the lead role.
* In the Ruby and Sapphire versions, an overworld character walking around {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}'s house looks much like Max. In Emerald, he was changed to a generic kid sprite.
** In Emerald, Brendan/May is given a little brother, but there is little other resemblance to Max.
* Max befriending a {{p|Ralts}} mirrors [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon.
** This may also be due to many School Kids using a Ralts in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

In the movie [[Destiny Deoxys]], Max befriended a Munchlax. Max was the only person worried with the Pokémon when Munchlax runaway. Please, anyone, edit this information in the real article, because I don't no how to do it. Thank you. Croagunk0610. Octuber 2008

== Trivia ==
The trivia datum "Max is one of Ash's only two friends to never have met Gary Oak. The other is May, Max's sister." is false. Dawn met Gary in [[DP045]], Brock and Misty met him in Season 1, and Tracy has met him in Pallet Town. All of Ash's companions have met Gary Oak. [[User:Mellamoandres|Mellamoandres]] 06:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

== Pokémon template ==

Under Max's befriended Ralts, should the rest of the Pokémomn he befriended be put into that same template, too? Every other character's page has it. [[User:Takharii|<sc>Takharii</sc>]] '''~''' [[User talk:Takharii|<sc>Talk!</sc>]] 10:51, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

== Ralts ==

Can we please turn Max's Ralts back into an actual page and not into a redirect? As I said on its talk page (which also redirects to this article!), Ralts was a CotD in and of itself, which is allowed by the terms of the notability policy. I'd do it myself but for some strange reason the protection hasn't worn off yet. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

I'd also like to say that Ralt's known moves do NOT include Hypnosis. Only in Meowth's boss fantasy did Hypnosis come up; Ralts itself only used Safeguard, Psychic, and (possibly) Teleport (it Teleported away at the very end of the episode, but it could have been Teleported by Gardevior or Kirlia, rather than under its own power). Hypnosis should definitely be removed from its list of moves. [[User:ShinyAeon|ShinyAeon]] 19:41, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

:I don't have a solid answer to this, but I believe it's because many people believe he's an unoriginal character. The allegation has been that he is an Ash clone, and there is circumstantial evidence to support that, with the most obvious being that they catch the same types of Pokémon. Both have Pikachu, Butterfree, Charmander/Charmeleon, Taillow, and Ritchie has a Pupitar, while Ash temporarily took care of a Larvitar. That's what I think, anyway. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 23:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

== Red/Green versions... ==

Well, I was thinking about this randomly and the fact that the original versions of Pokémon were the Red and Green versions, along with Ritchie's outfit being ''green''... As we know, the opening scene of the first episode uses Red version's Nidorino vs. Gengar as opposed to Green/Blue version's Jigglypuff vs. Gengar, indicating Ash's journey as being the "Red version" (And hey, the name Ash actually comes from the Red version, if it came from Green/Blue he'd be ''Gary'') may indicate that the signifigance of Ritchie's green outfit is that he may be intended as the hero of the "Green version".

== Rethinking the Ritchie/Richie issue ==

The overwhelming majority of official materials (including ALL Books and Magazines, EToP manga, CC & Subtitles for most episodes and Pokemon.com) uses the spelling "Richie". "Ritchie" is seen in Pokemon Puzzle League (and allegedly Closed Captions for Chronicles but I'm not sure if that's true). I'd quicker believe that "Ritchie" is a mispelling done in PPL. EVERY other merchandise uses the spelling without the 't'. That can't be a "gremial mistake". --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

:Uh, as far as I can tell, the game made no error. Most of the "books and magazines" are created by third parties and are prone to errors (mixing up {{si|Kenny}} and {{si|Kyle}} for example), Ritchie's Electric Tale appearance predated the game and the game could in fact be correcting the manga's misspelling, and the fact that most Chronicles captioning actually spelled it WITH the T shows that the game was very likely right. Besides, the fact that the game does not use the term "[[Lorelei|Prima]]" despite anime basis shows that the game developers knew what they were doing. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

::But I haven't seen a SINGLE merchandise using that spelling. Not to mention that CC for the original episodes with Ri(t)chie spell his name without the "t". I wouldn't trust Chronicles here so much. This is the same series that called Eusine "Eugene" and Jackson "Vincent". And the fact that PPL corrected one of anime's errors doesn't have to mean that they couldn't make an error by themselves. As I said, every merchandise (and my secret file which comes indirectly from PUSA, I hope that you believe in its existence) spells the name without the "t". Gremial mistake? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

:::[[Eusine]] doesn't even appear in Chronicles; why would Eusine appear if there's no {{p|Suicune}} involved? I'll give you [[Jackson|Vincent]], and also [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Kam and Khan]] as well as someone [[Lola|masquerading as Brock's mother]], but those mistakes were all earlier on in Chronicles. I also believe I saw a "Richie" spelling in the CC in one of the earlier Chronicles as well.

:::The CC spellings that list "Ritchie", on the other hand, occured later on in Chronicles, and errors in general became fewer the later on into Chronicles we went. Probably the biggest error in the second half of Chronicles, 4Kids not catching [[Mt. Ember]], could be considered minor by the first half's standards. Honestly, if "Ritchie" were indeed the wrong spelling, they wouldn't have utilized it at all in Chronicles, much less in the half of Chronicles that ''didn't'' have major errors. There's no way someone would switch from a correct spelling to an incorrect one in about the same timeframe the major errors stopped. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

== Hiroshi, the meaning of ==

According to Behind the Name, one of the most reliable sites for name meanings, "Hiroshi" means "tolerant, generous" or "prosperous". Here's the link: http://www.behindthename.com/name/hiroshi

In that case, I suspect the name "Ritchie" was chosen in English because the first element in "Richard" is "rich" - which is ultimately from Proto-Germanic ''*rik'', meaning "ruler," but later was influenced by its cognates ''*riki'' (Frankish) and ''riche'' (Old French) and gained the meaning "prosperous." Link: http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=rich&allowed_in_frame=0

That would make Ritchie/Hiroshi akin to Misty/Kasumi, an attempt at direct translation based on meaning. [[User:ShinyAeon|ShinyAeon]] 17:20, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Well, I was thinking about this randomly and the fact that the original versions of Pokémon were the Red and Green versions, along with Ritchie's outfit being ''green''... As we know, the opening scene of the first episode uses Red version's Nidorino vs. Gengar as opposed to Green/Blue version's Jigglypuff vs. Gengar, indicating Ash's journey as being the "Red version" (And hey, the name Ash actually comes from the Red version, if it came from Green/Blue he'd be ''Gary'') may indicate that the signifigance of Ritchie's green outfit is that he may be intended as the hero of the "Green version".

== Rethinking the Ritchie/Richie issue ==

The overwhelming majority of official materials (including ALL Books and Magazines, EToP manga, CC & Subtitles for most episodes and Pokemon.com) uses the spelling "Richie". "Ritchie" is seen in Pokemon Puzzle League (and allegedly Closed Captions for Chronicles but I'm not sure if that's true). I'd quicker believe that "Ritchie" is a mispelling done in PPL. EVERY other merchandise uses the spelling without the 't'. That can't be a "gremial mistake". --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

:Uh, as far as I can tell, the game made no error. Most of the "books and magazines" are created by third parties and are prone to errors (mixing up {{si|Kenny}} and {{si|Kyle}} for example), Ritchie's Electric Tale appearance predated the game and the game could in fact be correcting the manga's misspelling, and the fact that most Chronicles captioning actually spelled it WITH the T shows that the game was very likely right. Besides, the fact that the game does not use the term "[[Lorelei|Prima]]" despite anime basis shows that the game developers knew what they were doing. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

::But I haven't seen a SINGLE merchandise using that spelling. Not to mention that CC for the original episodes with Ri(t)chie spell his name without the "t". I wouldn't trust Chronicles here so much. This is the same series that called Eusine "Eugene" and Jackson "Vincent". And the fact that PPL corrected one of anime's errors doesn't have to mean that they couldn't make an error by themselves. As I said, every merchandise (and my secret file which comes indirectly from PUSA, I hope that you believe in its existence) spells the name without the "t". Gremial mistake? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

:::[[Eusine]] doesn't even appear in Chronicles; why would Eusine appear if there's no {{p|Suicune}} involved? I'll give you [[Jackson|Vincent]], and also [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Kam and Khan]] as well as someone [[Lola|masquerading as Brock's mother]], but those mistakes were all earlier on in Chronicles. I also believe I saw a "Richie" spelling in the CC in one of the earlier Chronicles as well.

:::The CC spellings that list "Ritchie", on the other hand, occured later on in Chronicles, and errors in general became fewer the later on into Chronicles we went. Probably the biggest error in the second half of Chronicles, 4Kids not catching [[Mt. Ember]], could be considered minor by the first half's standards. Honestly, if "Ritchie" were indeed the wrong spelling, they wouldn't have utilized it at all in Chronicles, much less in the half of Chronicles that ''didn't'' have major errors. There's no way someone would switch from a correct spelling to an incorrect one in about the same timeframe the major errors stopped. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
::::: So some random character was in the Raikou special? Anyway Pokemon.com has Richie as the spelling, and even though I would hate to spell it as Richie, because I'm used to the "t" spelling, it might be the official spelling.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 17:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

== Hiroshi, the meaning of ==

According to Behind the Name, one of the most reliable sites for name meanings, "Hiroshi" means "tolerant, generous" or "prosperous". Here's the link: http://www.behindthename.com/name/hiroshi

In that case, I suspect the name "Ritchie" was chosen in English because the first element in "Richard" is "rich" - which is ultimately from Proto-Germanic ''*rik'', meaning "ruler," but later was influenced by its cognates ''*riki'' (Frankish) and ''riche'' (Old French) and gained the meaning "prosperous." That would make Ritchie/Hiroshi akin to Misty/Kasumi, an attempt at direct translation based on meaning. [[User:ShinyAeon|ShinyAeon]] 17:20, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

== 3 More Pokémon ==

Isn't it worthy mentioning that Ritchie had 3 more Pokémon in the Kanto League. Possible ones include Spearow, Tentacool and Rhydon. I'm surprised that no one pointed this out.

The battle between two Charizards was eh, bloody. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

:The Rhydon belonged to Asunta, his opponent. Nobody knows whether the Spearow or Tentacool belonged to Ritchie, so it's never mentioned.

== Mispelling of name ==

I've looked through several Pokémon books, several Pokémon websites, and even looked at the closed captioning of the episodes that Ritchie was in and they all spelt his name like this: "Richie".

As we know, the opening scene of the first episode uses Red version's Nidorino vs. Gengar as opposed to Green/Blue version's Jigglypuff vs. Gengar, indicating Ash's journey as being the "Red version" (And hey, the name Ash actually comes from the Red version, if it came from Green/Blue he'd be ''Gary'') may indicate that the signifigance of Ritchie's green outfit is that he may be intended as the hero of the "Green version". I was wondering whether something like this may be worthy of going in the trivia section of the page? --[[User:Sato|Sato]] 12:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

==Question==
Question: why is the image in the article "unsatisfactory?" ~ShinyAeon 2/22/09
:Because it is a .jpg file. It needs to be be reuploaded in a .png format. That is why most of the pictures are tagged. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:01, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

== Possible Trivia ==

Is it worth mentioning that his Japanese name translation ("far and wide") is a line in the first theme song ("Searching far and wide")? --[[User:Galladeon|Galladeon]] 11:06, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
:Well, that interests me. Go for it. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 11:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
::No...and here's why: "searching far and wide is from the English song. Why is that important if that's his Japanese name? -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 11:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
:::I definitely concur with Sketch! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:45, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

== Rethinking the Ritchie/Richie issue ==

The overwhelming majority of official materials (including ALL Books and Magazines, EToP manga, CC & Subtitles for most episodes and Pokemon.com) uses the spelling "Richie". "Ritchie" is seen in Pokemon Puzzle League (and allegedly Closed Captions for Chronicles but I'm not sure if that's true). I'd quicker believe that "Ritchie" is a mispelling done in PPL. EVERY other merchandise uses the spelling without the 't'. That can't be a "gremial mistake". --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 12:12, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

:Uh, as far as I can tell, the game made no error. Most of the "books and magazines" are created by third parties and are prone to errors (mixing up {{si|Kenny}} and {{si|Kyle}} for example), Ritchie's Electric Tale appearance predated the game and the game could in fact be correcting the manga's misspelling, and the fact that most Chronicles captioning actually spelled it WITH the T shows that the game was very likely right. Besides, the fact that the game does not use the term "[[Lorelei|Prima]]" despite anime basis shows that the game developers knew what they were doing. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:24, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

::But I haven't seen a SINGLE merchandise using that spelling. Not to mention that CC for the original episodes with Ri(t)chie spell his name without the "t". I wouldn't trust Chronicles here so much. This is the same series that called Eusine "Eugene" and Jackson "Vincent". And the fact that PPL corrected one of anime's errors doesn't have to mean that they couldn't make an error by themselves. As I said, every merchandise (and my secret file which comes indirectly from PUSA, I hope that you believe in its existence) spells the name without the "t". Gremial mistake? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:20, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

:::[[Eusine]] doesn't even appear in Chronicles; why would Eusine appear if there's no {{p|Suicune}} involved? I'll give you [[Jackson|Vincent]], and also [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Kam and Khan]] as well as someone [[Lola|masquerading as Brock's mother]], but those mistakes were all earlier on in Chronicles. I also believe I saw a "Richie" spelling in the CC in one of the earlier Chronicles as well.

:::The CC spellings that list "Ritchie", on the other hand, occured later on in Chronicles, and errors in general became fewer the later on into Chronicles we went. Probably the biggest error in the second half of Chronicles, 4Kids not catching [[Mt. Ember]], could be considered minor by the first half's standards. Honestly, if "Ritchie" were indeed the wrong spelling, they wouldn't have utilized it at all in Chronicles, much less in the half of Chronicles that ''didn't'' have major errors. There's no way someone would switch from a correct spelling to an incorrect one in about the same timeframe the major errors stopped. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:32, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
::::: So some random character was in the Raikou special? Anyway Pokemon.com has Richie as the spelling, and even though I would hate to spell it as Richie, because I'm used to the "t" spelling, it might be the official spelling.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 17:46, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

::::::You do realize Pokémon.com's not always right themselves, right? They've called [[Thatcher]] "Batcher", {{ka|Ada}} "[[Audrey and Kathryn|Audrey]]", [[Roman]] "Charleton", [[Kylie]] "Charlene", and [[Melodi]] "[[Maria]]" in their episode guides. Trust me, Pokémon.com's not the best resource to use when it comes to character names, given that their mailbag is more reliable than their episode guides...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:00, 14 December 2009 (UTC)

== Hiroshi, the meaning of ==

According to Behind the Name, one of the most reliable sites for name meanings, "Hiroshi" means "tolerant, generous" or "prosperous". Here's the link: http://www.behindthename.com/name/hiroshi

In that case, I suspect the name "Ritchie" was chosen in English because the first element in "Richard" is "rich" - which is ultimately from Proto-Germanic ''*rik'', meaning "ruler," but later was influenced by its cognates ''*riki'' (Frankish) and ''riche'' (Old French) and gained the "prosperous." That would make Ritchie/Hiroshi akin to Misty/Kasumi, an attempt at direct translation based on meaning.

ShinyAeon is a user from the [[Bulbagarden forums]] who got into Pokémon through the anime in 2007; she has never played a Pokémon game in her life (a fact that fills her with a vague, wistful regret at times, but not enough to actually goad her into buying one to play). She is far too old to be dedicated to a kid's show and hopes fervently that no one mistakes her for a dangerous pervert. (She ''is'', technically speaking, a pervert, but as the objects of her perverted attentions are almost invariably fictional (and, at the present time, largely cartoons), she feels justified in classing herself as a ''harmless'' pervert, of the standard fangirl variety.)

She has become well-known in some Bulbagarden circles for: making overly long posts that few bother to read in entirety; applying analytical skills to the most trivial of subjects without shame; responding to argumentative posts with equally argumentative counterpoints despite knowing better (although this trait has declined in recent months); defending characters from bashing with a fervor common in traumatized Tracey fans; referring to her advanced age in vague, non-specific terms; failing to act her vague, non-specifically unmentioned age; fiercely promoting optimism among the young; and other questionable practices. After a brief time roaming the forums, she has settled in as a fairly permanent fixture in the Rocketshipping thread and generally only ventures forth to the Anime forum when she watches a new episode. As Rocketshipping is what got her into this fandom to begin with, she figures this is appropriate.

She came to Bulbapedia because she's anal retentive enough that if she spots a mistake or misspelling she feels compelled to fix it, and she figures this compulsion might just as well do ''someone'' some good.

Dr. Proctor

ShinyAeon:

[[File:Dr Proctor.png|right|thumb|Dr. Proctor]]
'''Dr. Proctor''' (Japanese: '''ドクター・ドク''' ''Doctor Doc'') is a [[character of the day]] of the {{pkmn|anime}} who appeared in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. He is a doctor for people who was forced to treat injured Pokémon after an accident involving Team Rocket and a truck load of stolen Pokémon.

Dr. Proctor is a womanizer; he made advances on {{an|Misty}}, [[Jessie]], and [[Nurse Joy]]. However, these attempts failed on Misty and Nurse Joy, but not Jessie, who fell for him immediately.

Proctor also appeared to be very lazy. He didn't want to open up his hospital to treat any of the injured Pokémon until {{Ash}}, {{Ashfr}}, and Nurse Joy convinced him to. But once engaged, he became a skilled and competent physician, treating his patients with confidence and compassion. He also proved to be a formidable fighter, using his medical equipment as weapons to help foil {{TRT}}'s attempt to steal all the injured Pokémon.

* His character is based on {{wp|Doug Ross|Dr. Doug Ross}}, a character on the American drama ''{{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}''. Rikaya Koyama, Dr. Proctor's Japanese voice actor, was the voice of Dr. Ross in the Japanese dub of the series. Like Dr. Proctor, Dr. Ross is a womanizer. And, as Dr. Proctor was drawn to look like Dr. Ross, he looks like an animated version of Dr. Ross's actor, {{wp|George Clooney}}.

Rival

2011-02-28T19:11:55Z

ShinyAeon: /* In the anime */

:''For the [[Elite Four]] {{pkmn|Champion}} in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, see [[Blue (game)]]''.
:''For the Japanese opening theme, see [[The Rivals]].''
----
[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the Pokémon [[games]] that is well known to the [[protagonist]] and has similar skills, goals and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the hero's quest, having a role in several of the games' events, and often challenges him or her in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.

==In the games==
In the [[Version|main series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This class of characters has appeared beginning in [[Generation I]], and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon, and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, always being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]]. After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that weakens the one the player chose at the beginning of the game, though [[Wally]], {{ga|Bianca}}, and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Yellow}} are exceptions.

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' [[trainer class]]; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer]]s''. Additionally, for one battle in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue".

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his rival Paul]]
Various rivals for the {{Ashfr|main characters}} have also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*{{Ash}} has had [[Gary Oak]], [[Ritchie]], [[Paul]], {{an|Barry}}, and [[Trip]] as his major rivals. Minor rivals include [[Duplica]], [[Casey]], [[Nando]], [[Angie]] and [[Conway]], who, while they competed with Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other four. Many other characters also collect badges and may be counted as rivals in the future.
*{{an|Misty}} has [[Marina (Orange Islands)]] and [[Sakura]].
*{{an|May}} has [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]].
*{{an|Dawn}} has [[Zoey]], {{si|Kenny}}, [[Ursula]], and [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. A minor rival included [[Nando]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{cleanup|section}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Red}}'s first rivalry blossomed when, just as their game counterparts did, he and {{adv|Blue}} were each given the first two [[Pokédex]], as well as starter Pokémon to compliment their already growing parties (somewhat unlike in the games). Red received [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], while Blue acquired the starter that weakens his, and both times his [[Blue's Charizard|Charmander]] evolved before Red's. As would become a tradition in the manga, {{adv|Green}}, hearing of these two fellow [[Pallet Town]] Trainers' big send offs on journeys, stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] (weakened by Red's) and proved to be a somewhat irritating obstacle for Red at times, stealing two of his badges and shrewdly taking his {{evostone|Moon Stone}} for later use before using the boy as a pawn to gather the seven known badges at the time to create [[Zapmolcuno]] (not knowing at the time that it would create a three-headed bird monster, a kind which she fears above all else). She also competed in the [[Pokémon League]] after Red's excursions in the [[Viridian Gym]] against [[Giovanni]], as well as his capture of {{adv|Mewtwo}}. She finally faced the then-disguised [[Professor Oak|Professor]] in the semi-finals, but after her phobia of bird Pokémon was exploited, she lost, and after Oak's forfeit, Red defeated his rival in the final match.

{{adv|Yellow}}, who took over as the protagonist two years later, had no real rival, but as both she and [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] had the psychic healing powers of [[Viridian Forest]], he would most closely match this description.

One year later, the tradition of the rival character acquiring a starter that weakens the protagonist's would again be revisited when {{adv|Silver}} steals his [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] while {{adv|Gold}} took a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]]. Once again, the rival would evolve his starter before the boy when his Totodile became a {{p|Croconaw}} before Gold's evolved to {{p|Quilava}}, but after they were horribly defeated and narrowly saved by {{p|Entei}}, they would fall into a coma lasting for several weeks, during which a third protagonist, {{adv|Crystal}}, is given a {{p|Chikorita}}, the last remaining starter (along with the final Pokédex), and it too evolved to a {{p|Bayleef}}. The three then were reunited in the [[Whirl Islands]], and evolved to the final stages simultaneously.

Years after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} would be given opposite starters, but unlike before (possibly attributed to the fact that Sapphire is female), Ruby would now acquire a [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] and Sapphire would be given the disadvantaged [[Toro|Torchic]]. Both evolved to their final stage similarly, though again the rival of the main playable character, Ruby, would evolve his first both times.

Ironically, {{p|Treecko|the Grass-type starter}} would again meet the fate of being partnered after its chums when it at last becomes {{p|Grovyle}} with [[Wally]], and is revealed to have been smuggled into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] after evolving to its [[Emerald's Sceptile|final stage]] in the wild. As originally intended, it ended up with {{adv|Emerald}}.

The protagonists for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} received the same type starters as the RGB seniors years before, when {{adv|Diamond}} (based on {{ga|Lucas}}) ended up with a [[Tru|Turtwig]], {{adv|Pearl}} (based on the rival character) with a [[Chimler|Chimchar]], and {{adv|Platinum}} (based on {{ga|Dawn}}) was given a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]]. However, unlike the first protagonists, their starters evolved almost exactly at the same time, with Diamond and Pearl's starters evolving simultaneously both times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Trip.png|thumb|235px|right|Ash and his rival Trip]]
* Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a {{p|Krabby}}, [[Ritchie]] owns a Pikachu, Charmeleon and a Taillow, Paul uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, Barry uses a {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heracross}}, and [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Servine}}.
* Ash also has at least one species of Pokémon that some of his minor rivals own. [[Morrison]] owns a Gligar and [[Tyson (Hoenn)|Tyson]] owns a Sceptile and a Donphan.
* Almost all of the rivals in the games are from the protagonist's hometown. Only Silver and Wally come from other places, with Silver's hometown being unknown and Wally hailing from Petalburg City.
* Brendan and May are the only rivals who can also be player characters.

[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the Pokémon [[games]] that is well known to the [[protagonist]] and has similar skills, goals and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the hero's quest, having a role in several of the games' events, and often challenges him or her in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.

==In the games==
In the [[Version|main series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This class of characters has appeared beginning in [[Generation I]], and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon, and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, always being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]]. After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that weakens the one the player chose at the beginning of the game, though [[Wally]], {{ga|Bianca}}, and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Yellow}} are exceptions.

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' [[trainer class]]; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer]]s''. Additionally, for one battle in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue".

As would become a tradition in the manga, {{adv|Green}}, hearing of these two fellow [[Pallet Town]] Trainers' big send offs on journeys, stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] (weakened by Red's) and proved to be a somewhat irritating obstacle for Red at times, stealing two of his badges and shrewdly taking his {{evostone|Moon Stone}} for later use before using the boy as a pawn to gather the seven known badges at the time to create [[Zapmolcuno]] (not knowing at the time that it would create a three-headed bird monster, a kind which she fears above all else). She also competed in the [[Pokémon League]] after Red's excursions in the [[Viridian Gym]] against [[Giovanni]], as well as his capture of {{adv|Mewtwo}}. She finally faced the then-disguised [[Professor Oak|Professor]] in the semi-finals, but after her phobia of bird Pokémon was exploited, she lost, and after Oak's forfeit, Red defeated his rival in the final match.

{{adv|Yellow}}, who took over as the protagonist two years later, had no real rival, but as both she and [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] had the psychic healing powers of [[Viridian Forest]], he would most closely match this description.

One year later, the tradition of the rival character acquiring a starter that weakens the protagonist's would again be revisited when {{adv|Silver}} steals his [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] while {{adv|Gold}} took a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]]. Once again, the rival would evolve his starter before the boy when his Totodile became a {{p|Croconaw}} before Gold's evolved to {{p|Quilava}}, but after they were horribly defeated and narrowly saved by {{p|Entei}}, they would fall into a coma lasting for several weeks, during which a third protagonist, {{adv|Crystal}}, is given a {{p|Chikorita}}, the last remaining starter (along with the final Pokédex), and it too evolved to a {{p|Bayleef}}. The three then were reunited in the [[Whirl Islands]], and evolved to the final stages simultaneously.

Years after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} would be given opposite starters, but unlike before (possibly attributed to the fact that Sapphire is female), Ruby would now acquire a [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] and Sapphire would be given the disadvantaged [[Toro|Torchic]]. Both evolved to their final stage similarly, though again the rival of the main playable character, Ruby, would evolve his first both times.

Ironically, {{p|Treecko|the Grass-type starter}} would again meet the fate of being partnered after its chums when it at last becomes {{p|Grovyle}} with [[Wally]], and is revealed to have been smuggled into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] after evolving to its [[Emerald's Sceptile|final stage]] in the wild. As originally intended, it ended up with {{adv|Emerald}}.

The protagonists for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} received the same type starters as the RGB seniors years before, when {{adv|Diamond}} (based on {{ga|Lucas}}) ended up with a [[Tru|Turtwig]], {{adv|Pearl}} (based on the rival character) with a [[Chimler|Chimchar]], and {{adv|Platinum}} (based on {{ga|Dawn}}) was given a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]]. However, unlike the first protagonists, their starters evolved almost exactly at the same time, with Diamond and Pearl's starters evolving simultaneously both times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Trip.png|thumb|235px|right|Ash and his rival Trip]]
* Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a {{p|Krabby}}, Paul uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, Barry uses a {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heracross}}, and [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Servine}}.
* Ash also has at least one species of Pokémon that some of his minor rivals own. [[Ritchie]] owns a Pikachu, Charmeleon and a Taillow while [[Morrison]] owns a Gligar and [[Tyson (Hoenn)|Tyson]] owns a Sceptile and a Donphan.
* Almost all of the rivals in the games are from the protagonist's hometown. Only Silver and Wally come from other places, with Silver's hometown being unknown and Wally hailing from Petalburg City.
* Brendan and May are the only rivals who can also be player characters.

List of clothing (anime)

2009-10-31T22:49:31Z

ShinyAeon: /* Main outfit */ color specifics

{{bad picture|article|Nearly all the ones in the every gallery}}

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|80px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|130px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of green trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
*Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
*In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but didn't appear frequently until the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.
*A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' when he ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
*He also wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
*In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
*In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Ash wore army clothing.
*In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing.
*In [[DP138]], a flashback of Ash when he was younger shows him wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe and blue shorts.

==[[Misty]]==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:MistyOutfit1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's first outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's outfit in the ''Advance Generation'' series]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with long hair extensions and pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokemon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokemon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]], [[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[H011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her Original Series outfit. However, in ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Misty has not yet appeared in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:Misty Kimono Girl1.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Misty in her pink kimono]]
*Misty wears a {{wp|yukata}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. It appears again in the fourth ending theme, ''[[Pokémon Ondo]]''.
*Misty wears a stage dress designed to look like {{p|Goldeen}} in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.
*Misty wears a pink {{wp|kimono}} for the Princess festival in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''.
*Misty fantasizes about wearing a red dress for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Misty's outfit is a red {{wp|mandarin dress|china dress}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Misty's most common swimwear is a red bikini, seen worn in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', ''[[EP068|The Evolution Solution]]'', and ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''.
*Misty fantasizes about sunbathing in a pink bikini in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.
*Misty wears a yellow bikini with a skirt and a red star on the top in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.
*Misty wears a green and white striped bikini in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

====Other clothes====
*Misty wears a pink blouse and a long, brown skirt in her France fantasy in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*Misty wears a red shirt with a pink jacket featuring green and yellow stripes as part of [[Team Rocket]]'s makeover in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.
*Misty donned a Team Rocket outfit in the second half of ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.
*Misty wore a [[Nurse Joy]] outfit while helping out at the clinic in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.
*Misty wore a blue jacket with a black and red cap as a disguise in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.
*Misty sometimes wears her mermaid outfit, first seen in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', while at her gym.
*Misty sometimes wears a blue shirt with black sweatpants. She wore it in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' and in part of ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]''.
*She wore a red and pink dress with long red tights in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. One of the sleeves jutted out, which she used as a perch for {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} to sit on.
*Misty wore an army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]''.
* A flashback in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues!]]'' showed Misty as a baby, wearing a sky-blue shirt and yellow diaper.

==[[Brock]]==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|80px|Brock's original series outfit]]
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets.
With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
*He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
*He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit.]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, reddish-brown shorts, blue and yellow sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|110px|thumb|left|May's main outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}
[[Image:May2.JPG|right|thumb|200px|May in her Emerald outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based off of the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[Image:may dress.jpg|200px|thumb|right|May's Movie 8 Dress]]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[Image:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Dawn contest.png|205px|thumb|right|Dawn in her Contest dress]]
[[File:Dawn_DP146_contest.png|thumb|right|Dawn in her contest dress in the [[Suiren Town]] contest]]
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]] Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
[[File:DawnCollection.PNG|thumb|Dawn in the Hearthome Collection|left]]
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Dawn wore a yellow and orange bikini in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'' and ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', as well as in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

=====Snow wear=====
*Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum starting in [[DP125]]. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[Image:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her Platinum outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'' and again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his gym battles with Roark and Maylene.
*Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mom asked her to leave behind.
*Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[Image:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits.]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most [[Rocket Grunt]]s wear a black uniform of similar design. However, in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]], it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Brock]] is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2009-10-31T22:46:28Z

ShinyAeon: /* Main outfits */ added the bit from "Dues and Don'ts" about them designing their own uniforms.

{{bad picture|article|Nearly all the ones in the every gallery}}

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|80px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|130px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of green trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
*Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
*In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but didn't appear frequently until the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.
*A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' when he ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
*He also wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
*In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
*In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Ash wore army clothing.
*In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing.
*In [[DP138]], a flashback of Ash when he was younger shows him wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe and blue shorts.

==[[Misty]]==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:MistyOutfit1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's first outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's outfit in the ''Advance Generation'' series]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with long hair extensions and pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokemon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokemon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]], [[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[H011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her Original Series outfit. However, in ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Misty has not yet appeared in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:Misty Kimono Girl1.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Misty in her pink kimono]]
*Misty wears a {{wp|yukata}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. It appears again in the fourth ending theme, ''[[Pokémon Ondo]]''.
*Misty wears a stage dress designed to look like {{p|Goldeen}} in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.
*Misty wears a pink {{wp|kimono}} for the Princess festival in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''.
*Misty fantasizes about wearing a red dress for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Misty's most common swimwear is a red bikini, seen worn in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', ''[[EP068|The Evolution Solution]]'', and ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''.
*Misty fantasizes about sunbathing in a pink bikini in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.
*Misty wears a yellow bikini with a skirt and a red star on the top in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.
*Misty wears a green and white striped bikini in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

====Other clothes====
*Misty wears a pink blouse and a long, brown skirt in her France fantasy in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*Misty wears a red shirt with a pink jacket featuring green and yellow stripes as part of [[Team Rocket]]'s makeover in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.
*Misty donned a Team Rocket outfit in the second half of ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.
*Misty wore a [[Nurse Joy]] outfit while helping out at the clinic in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.

*Misty sometimes wears a blue shirt with black sweatpants. She wore it in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' and in part of ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]''.
*She wore a red and pink dress with long red tights in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. One of the sleeves jutted out, which she used as a perch for {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} to sit on.
*Misty wore an army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]''.
* A flashback in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues!]]'' showed Misty as a baby, wearing a sky-blue shirt and yellow diaper.

==[[Brock]]==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|80px|Brock's original series outfit]]
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets.
With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
*He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
*He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit.]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, red shorts, blue sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|110px|thumb|left|May's main outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}
[[Image:May2.JPG|right|thumb|200px|May in her Emerald outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based off of the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[Image:may dress.jpg|200px|thumb|right|May's Movie 8 Dress]]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*May's most common swimwear is the yellow hearts bikini. This was shown in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'' and ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''.
*May also wore a pink polka dotted one piece swimsuit in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.
*May wore a green bikini with red hearts on her hips in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''.
*Twice May wore a pink bikini, both times being in movies. The first time was during ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and the second time was in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]].

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[Image:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Dawn contest.png|205px|thumb|right|Dawn in her Contest dress]]
[[File:Dawn_DP146_contest.png|thumb|right|Dawn in her contest dress in the [[Suiren Town]] contest]]
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]] Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
[[File:DawnCollection.PNG|thumb|Dawn in the Hearthome Collection|left]]
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Dawn wore a yellow and orange bikini in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'' and ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', as well as in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

=====Snow wear=====
*Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum starting in [[DP125]]. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[Image:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her Platinum outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'' and again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his gym battles with Roark and Maylene.
*Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mom asked her to leave behind.
*Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.
*In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'' she wore a {{p|Piplup}} costume in her dream.
*One point of the end credits of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' features shots of Dawn in a number of different outfits.
*Whenever she's sleeping, Dawn wears pink pajamas, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]''.
*Dawn wears a long pink nightgown at the start of ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[Image:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits.]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most [[Rocket Grunt]]s wear a black uniform of similar design. However, in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]], it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Brock]] is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2009-10-31T22:24:19Z

ShinyAeon: /* Main outfits */

{{bad picture|article|Nearly all the ones in the every gallery}}

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|80px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|130px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of green trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
*Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
*In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but didn't appear frequently until the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.
*A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' when he ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
*He also wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
*In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
*In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Ash wore army clothing.
*In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing.
*In [[DP138]], a flashback of Ash when he was younger shows him wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe and blue shorts.

==[[Misty]]==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:MistyOutfit1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's first outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's outfit in the ''Advance Generation'' series]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with long hair extensions and pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokemon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokemon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]], [[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[H011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her Original Series outfit. However, in ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Misty has not yet appeared in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

==[[Brock]]==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|80px|Brock's original series outfit]]
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets.
With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
*He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
*He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit.]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, red shorts, blue sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|110px|thumb|left|May's main outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}
[[Image:May2.JPG|right|thumb|200px|May in her Emerald outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based off of the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[Image:may dress.jpg|200px|thumb|right|May's Movie 8 Dress]]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[Image:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Dawn contest.png|205px|thumb|right|Dawn in her Contest dress]]
[[File:Dawn_DP146_contest.png|thumb|right|Dawn in her contest dress in the [[Suiren Town]] contest]]
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]] Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
[[File:DawnCollection.PNG|thumb|Dawn in the Hearthome Collection|left]]
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Dawn wore a yellow and orange bikini in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'' and ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', as well as in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

=====Snow wear=====
*Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum starting in [[DP125]]. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[Image:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her Platinum outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'' and again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his gym battles with Roark and Maylene.
*Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mom asked her to leave behind.
*Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[Image:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits.]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most [[Rocket Grunt]]s wear a black version of the same uniform. Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', where they wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Brock]] is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2009-10-31T22:20:43Z

ShinyAeon: /* Other clothes */

{{bad picture|article|Nearly all the ones in the every gallery}}

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|80px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|130px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of green trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
*Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
*In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but didn't appear frequently until the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.
*A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' when he ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
*He also wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
*In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
*In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Ash wore army clothing.

==[[Misty]]==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:MistyOutfit1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's first outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's outfit in the ''Advance Generation'' series]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with long hair extensions and pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokemon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokemon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]], [[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[H011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her Original Series outfit. However, in ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts with a white belt, and reddish-brown penny-loafer type shoes worn with white socks.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Misty has not yet appeared in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

===Side outfits===

[[Image:Misty Kimono Girl1.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Misty in her pink kimono]]

* A flashback in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues!]]'' showed Misty as a baby, wearing a sky-blue shirt and yellow diaper.

==[[Brock]]==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|80px|Brock's original series outfit]]
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets.
With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
*He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
*He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit.]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, red shorts, blue sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|110px|thumb|left|May's main outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}
[[Image:May2.JPG|right|thumb|200px|May in her Emerald outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based off of the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[Image:may dress.jpg|200px|thumb|right|May's Movie 8 Dress]]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*May's most common swimwear is the yellow hearts bikini. This was shown in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'' and ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''.
*May also wore a pink polka dotted one piece swimsuit in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.
*May wore a green bikini with red hearts on her hips in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[Image:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Dawn contest.png|205px|thumb|right|Dawn in her Contest dress]]
[[File:Dawn_DP146_contest.png|thumb|right|Dawn in her contest dress in the [[Suiren Town]] contest]]
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]] Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
[[File:DawnCollection.PNG|thumb|Dawn in the Hearthome Collection|left]]
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Dawn wore a yellow and orange bikini in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'' and ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', as well as in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

=====Snow wear=====
*Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum starting in [[DP125]]. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[Image:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her Platinum outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'' and again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his gym battles with Roark and Maylene.
*Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mom asked her to leave behind.
*Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[Image:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits.]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most [[Rocket Grunt]]s wear a black version of the same uniform. Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', where they wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Brock]] is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2009-10-31T22:18:31Z

ShinyAeon: /* Main outfits */ ~~~~/added the bit about hair extensions in the mermaid outfit, and a paragraph for Pokemon Chronicles and the new outfit that appeared in Misty's last Chron episode.

{{bad picture|article|Nearly all the ones in the every gallery}}

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|80px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|130px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of green trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
*Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
*In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but didn't appear frequently until the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.
*A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' when he ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
*He also wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
*In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
*In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Ash wore army clothing.
*In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing.
*In [[DP138]], a flashback of Ash when he was younger shows him wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe and blue shorts.

==[[Misty]]==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:MistyOutfit1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's first outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's outfit in the ''Advance Generation'' series]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping, bathing, or wearing a formal outfit of some sort. With her mermaid outfit, she wears it down with long hair extensions and pearl ornaments.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' (and continuing into the first three of four ''Pokemon Chronicles'' episodes she was in).

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow sleeveless top or vest with a large blue button on the front and matching shorts, worn over some sort of dark-red under-all (swimsuit or leotard, etc.). She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokemon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]], [[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[H011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her Original Series outfit. However, in ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts with a white belt, and reddish-brown penny-loafer type shoes worn with white socks.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Misty has not yet appeared in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:Misty Kimono Girl1.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Misty in her pink kimono]]
*Misty wears a {{wp|yukata}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''. It appears again in the fourth ending theme, ''[[Pokémon Ondo]]''.
*Misty wears a stage dress designed to look like {{p|Goldeen}} in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.
*Misty wears a pink {{wp|kimono}} for the Princess festival in ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''.
*Misty fantasizes about wearing a red dress for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Misty's outfit is a red {{wp|mandarin dress|china dress}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Misty's most common swimwear is a red bikini, seen worn in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', ''[[EP068|The Evolution Solution]]'', and ''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]''.
*Misty fantasizes about sunbathing in a pink bikini in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]''.
*Misty wears a yellow bikini with a skirt and a red star on the top in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''.
*Misty wears a green and white striped bikini in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

====Other clothes====
*Misty wears a pink blouse and a long, brown skirt in her France fantasy in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''.
*Misty wears a red shirt with a pink jacket featuring green and yellow stripes as part of [[Team Rocket]]'s makeover in ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''.
*Misty donned a Team Rocket outfit in the second half of ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''.
*Misty wore a [[Nurse Joy]] outfit while helping out at the clinic in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''.
*Misty wore a blue jacket with a black and red cap as a disguise in ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''.
*Misty sometimes wears her mermaid outfit, first seen in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', while at her gym.
*Misty sometimes wears a blue shirt with black sweatpants. She wore it in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' and in part of ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]''.
*She wore a red and pink dress with long red tights in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. One of the sleeves jutted out, which she used as a perch for {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} to sit on.
*Misty sometimes wears a different yellow sleeveless top first shown in ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]''. She also tucks in her shirt, exposing a small white belt with a pink buckle. Her shorts also seem to be styled differently.
*Misty wore an army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]''.
* A flashback in ''[[H002|Cerulean Blues!]]'' showed Misty as a baby, wearing a sky-blue shirt and yellow diaper.

==[[Brock]]==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|80px|Brock's original series outfit]]
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets.
With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
*He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
*He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit.]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, red shorts, blue sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|110px|thumb|left|May's main outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}
[[Image:May2.JPG|right|thumb|200px|May in her Emerald outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based off of the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[Image:may dress.jpg|200px|thumb|right|May's Movie 8 Dress]]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*May's most common swimwear is the yellow hearts bikini. This was shown in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'' and ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''.
*May also wore a pink polka dotted one piece swimsuit in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.
*May wore a green bikini with red hearts on her hips in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''.
*Twice May wore a pink bikini, both times being in movies. The first time was during ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and the second time was in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]].

=====Snow wear=====

* She wore winter clothes in a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' while at [[Ice Rock]] near [[Snowpoint City]]. It is mostly a pink dress with sleeves, her green bandana and pink shoes.
* In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', May wore orange pajamas.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[Image:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Dawn contest.png|205px|thumb|right|Dawn in her Contest dress]]
[[File:Dawn_DP146_contest.png|thumb|right|Dawn in her contest dress in the [[Suiren Town]] contest]]
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]] Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
[[File:DawnCollection.PNG|thumb|Dawn in the Hearthome Collection|left]]
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Dawn wore a yellow and orange bikini in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'' and ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', as well as in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

=====Snow wear=====
*Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum starting in [[DP125]]. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[Image:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her Platinum outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'' and again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his gym battles with Roark and Maylene.
*Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mom asked her to leave behind.
*Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.
*In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'' she wore a {{p|Piplup}} costume in her dream.
*One point of the end credits of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' features shots of Dawn in a number of different outfits.
*Whenever she's sleeping, Dawn wears pink pajamas, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]''.
*Dawn wears a long pink nightgown at the start of ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[Image:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits.]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most [[Rocket Grunt]]s wear a black version of the same uniform. Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', where they wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Brock]] is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2009-10-31T21:33:34Z

ShinyAeon: a couple spelling/usage fixes ("trim" instead of "trims," etc.)

{{bad picture|article|Nearly all the ones in the every gallery}}

<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time and, at the start of a new saga, changed their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.
====Original series====
[[Image:Anime Ash.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, while it is clear his clothing is directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s, it is a unique outfit design in its own right. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of [[Brock]] and [[Misty]], which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The outfit is a blue and white jacket with gold trim worn open over a black t-shirt with jeans, sneakers, green fingerless gloves, and of course [[Ash's hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which Ash won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. However, other parts of the outfit are notable for practical reasons: Ash kept his [[Kanto]] and [[Orange League]] [[badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, and hung his [[Poké Ball]]s from his belt.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.
 

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiAG.png|thumb|left|80px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new pants and sneakers. He also started wearing a new backpack. This time, however, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps badges pinned to the inside.

All of his new clothes, however, bear a notable resemblance to his old clothes, probably to maintain his style and avoid confusion which would be caused by a completely new appearance. This becomes a common theme among all new outfits: they are new takes on the style on the former outfits.

The symbol on his hat and hoodie pocket reflect the [[Poké Ball]] symbols seen frequently in the [[Generation III]] games, particularly in the designs of the [[player character|main characters']] clothes. Ash's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit is similar to the one {{ga|Red}} wears in Generation III, most notably, his sleeves.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[Image:SatoshiDP.png|thumb|left|130px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new pants, and new sneakers. His gloves appear to be the same as those from his second outfit. His backpack is new but, again, green. It should be noted that this new outfit is mostly based on that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The only differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

One of the most common complaints among fans about the outfit is the yellow stripe across Ash's chest. This is, considering its curve, apparently based on the lower half of the [[Poké Ball]] symbol which was seen on Ash's pocket in his second outfit. However, given how long it is now, it is more difficult to tell.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*Ash wore a {{wp|kimono}} to a summer festival in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''.
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Ash wears a bright orange {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} with a frilled shirt and orange {{wp|bowler hat}}.
*Ash fantasizes about wearing a blue tuxedo for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Ash wore an outfit based directly on that of [[Sir Aaron]]: a blue {{wp|tunic}} over a gray long-sleeved shirt and gray pants, matched with blue gloves and boots and a teal hat and hooded {{wp|cape}}.
*In the [[Wallace Cup]], Ash wore a fedora hat and a tuxedo.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Ash's most common swimwear in the Kanto and Johto seasons is a pair of green trunks with yellow stripes going down the side. Virtually every episode in the Kanto and Johto series where he swims, he is in this swimsuit.
*Ash changes to a different swimsuit along with his clothing in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. He has orange trunks with a green and yellow double stripe going down his left side. The same pattern is much smaller on the right, appearing only on the waistband. This actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but the swimsuit itself didn't make frequent appearances until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
*In the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, Ash is in red trunks with a light blue line at the bottom. Like the orange swimsuit, this actually appeared once before, in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but didn't appear frequently until the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.
*A swimsuit similar to his Kanto/Johto one was seen in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', but it was two-shaded blue (dark on top and lighter on bottom) with white stripes instead of yellow down the sides.

=====Snow wear=====
[[File:Ash snow pt.png|thumb|Ash's jacket|left|260px]]
*Ash wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Ash wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s Platinum jacket starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*Ash has a pair of green and yellow pajamas that he wears whenever he sleeps. It was first seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' when he ran to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in it. This clothing stays with him from Kanto to Sinnoh. When he sleeps, he removes his hat.
*He also wore a cow suit in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.
*Ash also had an orange and white dress with red Mary-Janes that he had to wear to get into [[Celadon Gym|Erika's gym]]. The outfit was worn with a blonde wig with a large pink bow in it. When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of three times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).
*Ash also wore a medieval themed outfit for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''. It was a long blue shirt with light gray tights. He also wore a green cap similar to the signature one of {{wp|Robin Hood}}.
*A running gag in the series, where Ash's mother reminds him to change his underwear everyday, actually appeared several times, most notably in the Christmas special ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' where Ash went swimming in his blue and white striped boxers.
*In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', Ash is seen in his new blue boxers.
*In ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Ash wore army clothing.
*In ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'', Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing.
*In [[DP138]], a flashback of Ash when he was younger shows him wearing a yellow shirt with a red stripe and blue shorts.

[[File:MistyOutfit1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's first outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|Misty's outfit in the ''Advance Generation'' series]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and short jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Her entire midriff is revealed here. She wore red and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red draw-string bag with it.

This outfit also debuted her hairstyle, which is typically the way she always wears it, regardless of her outfit: a small side ponytail. She will occasionally take it down, but usually only if she is sleeping or wearing a formal outfit of some sort, such as her mermaid outfit.

Misty wore this outfit from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
Misty's second outfit is a yellow vest with a large blue button on the front and yellow shorts worn over some sort of dark-red swimsuit or leotard. She wears it with short orange boots. The few times she carries a backpack with it, it is a small backpack designed to look like a {{p|Spheal}}.

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but she was carrying a pink bag.
 

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====

==[[Brock]]==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[Image:Brock-side.jpg|thumb|left|80px|Brock's original series outfit]]
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]
====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets.
With it, he carried a large blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

Assumably, he keeps many supplies in his many pockets, just as he tends to fill his bag with more supplies than it should be realistically able to hold. However, he has never been seen reaching into these pockets, so their contents remain unknown. The numerous pockets in this outfit were seen in all of his outfits.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together, Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt.

Brock started wearing this outfit in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of the latest Japanese episode.
 

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[Image:TakeshiDP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
*Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
*Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
*One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
*Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
*Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
*Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|left|270px]]
*Brock usually wears light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. In Advanced Generation onwards, these are colored as dark purple, due to the different palette.
*In the hotspring scene in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', he wears a different pair of swim trunks that are olive green with an orange stripe down the side. However, this is only known from artwork since in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck is ever seen above water.
**He wore these same swimtrunks in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
*Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
*Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum starting in [[DP125]].

====Other clothes====
*One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
*He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
*He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.

=={{Tracey}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:Tracey Sketchit.png|thumb|left|Tracey's main outfit.]]
Tracey has only had one main outfit throughout the entire series. It consists of a loose green {{wp|T-shirt}}, red shorts, blue sneakers, and his most notable accessory, a light red headband that he uses to keep his hair out of his face.
Tracey is the only main character from the original series whose outfit was not changed at the start of either of the newer series.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
*His first swimsuit was simply a pair of navy-blue swim trunks as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
*The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
*The third was seen in ''[[H005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is yet another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[H016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[Image:May Anime Artwork.png|110px|thumb|left|May's main outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark-blue shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based off of the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}
[[Image:May2.JPG|right|thumb|200px|May in her Emerald outfit]]

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Much like Ash and Brock changed clothes at the start of both the ''Advanced Generation'' and ''Diamond & Pearl'' series, and Misty did before her return in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', May changed clothes sometime between her departure in ''[[AG192|Home Is Where the Start Is]]'' and her return in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' Her outfit in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is based off of the outfit that her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Emerald}}. It consists of a green bandanna, a red orange vest with a black collar, black bike shorts, black socks, and red and white sneakers. She also carries a green waistpack similar to the one she carried in the ''Advanced Generation'' series. When she got off the boat, she was seen with a yellow backpack. It is unknown if she normally carries this or only had it because she was traveling a long distance (to Sinnoh from Johto).

May wore this outfit as of her latest appearance, and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[Image:may dress.jpg|200px|thumb|right|May's Movie 8 Dress]]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[Image:MayContest.PNG|thumb|215px|left|May at the Wallace Cup]]
* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink half shirt with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach veil with a green gem on top, and a peach long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*May's most common swimwear is the yellow hearts bikini. This was shown in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]'' and ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''.
*May also wore a pink polka dotted one piece swimsuit in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.
*May wore a green bikini with red hearts on her hips in ''[[AG020|Brave the Wave]]''.
*Twice May wore a pink bikini, both times being in movies. The first time was during ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and the second time was in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]].

=====Snow wear=====
*May wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

====Other clothes====
* May also wore sleeveless pink colored ninja clothes in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save!]]''.
* She wore winter clothes in a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'' while at [[Ice Rock]] near [[Snowpoint City]]. It is mostly a pink dress with sleeves, her green bandana and pink shoes.
* In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', May wore orange pajamas.

==[[Max]]==
===Main outfit===

Max's main outfit is a green t-shirt, green and brown sneakers, black glasses and brown shorts. He carries a yellow backpack with his belongings.
===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Max's outfit appears to be one of a young prince with a {{wp|beret}} and a {{wp|cape}}.
====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Max's most common swimwear was a pair of green trunks, with no special patterns. This was seen in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'' and ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''
*The swimsuit was changed into a green Speedo in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.

=={{an|Dawn}}==
[[Image:HikariDP.png|thumb|left|125px|thumb|Dawn's main outfit]]
===Main outfit===
Dawn's outfit consists of a mini dress which is mostly black with a white undershirt inside a V-shaped neck with a short pink skirt. On her head, she wears a white beanie with a pink [[Poké Ball]] print on it. She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow back pack with all her personal belongings.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Dawn contest.png|205px|thumb|right|Dawn in her Contest dress]]
[[File:Dawn_DP146_contest.png|thumb|right|Dawn in her contest dress in the [[Suiren Town]] contest]]
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
*In her [[DP001|debut appearance]], she was shown to be wearing three different formal outfits when imagining herself in contests with each of the Sinnoh starters.
*She frequently wears a pink dress during her contests. In the [[Floaroma Town]] contest, she decorated her dress with flowers, presumably to fit the town's flowery theme. In the [[Hearthome City]] contest, she added a yellow ribbon around her waist and her hair barrettes were star-shaped. The yellow ribbon was also seen in the [[Wallace Cup]] Opening and ending themes show her in different dresses, but she has never worn them in contests.
[[File:DawnCollection.PNG|thumb|Dawn in the Hearthome Collection|left]]
*In the [[Hearthome Collection]], she wore a plain white-blue dress with a yellow ribbon at the back. It also came along with a blue, beaded necklace and white shoes.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Dawn wore a yellow and orange bikini in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'' and ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', as well as in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''

=====Snow wear=====
*Dawn wore an outfit nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} in Platinum starting in [[DP125]]. The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones.
[[Image:Dawn snow pt.png|thumb|270px|Dawn in her Platinum outfit]]

====Other clothes====
*The [[Pokémon Learning League]] website portrays Dawn with her white undershirt having sleeves that reach past her elbows, and black stockings or tights covering her legs.
*Dawn donned a pink cheerleading outfit in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]'' and again in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Her Pokémon have similar outfits. The purpose of the outfit was to support [[Ash Ketchum]] in his gym battles with Roark and Maylene.
*Before leaving her home to start her journey, she was shown to have many clothes in the bag her mom asked her to leave behind.
*Dawn wore a French maid's outfit to help out at the [[Café Cabin]] in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''.
*In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'' she wore a {{p|Piplup}} costume in her dream.
*One point of the end credits of ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' features shots of Dawn in a number of different outfits.
*Whenever she's sleeping, Dawn wears pink pajamas, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]''.
*Dawn wears a long pink nightgown at the start of ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]''.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[Image:TeamRocketAnime.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits.]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most [[Rocket Grunt]]s wear a black version of the same uniform. Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', where they wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

Meowth, being a Pokémon, has no main outfit and is seen most often not wearing any clothing. However, he does have a fairly notable list of side outfits which he's worn alongside Jessie and James.

===Side outfits===
====Disguises====
{{main|List of Team Rocket's disguises}}
Frequently, when they are not wearing their Team Rocket uniforms, they are most likely wearing something as a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguise]] to fool the [[twerp]]s. These range from very elaborate to very simple outfits, all of which have fooled Ash and {{Ashfr|his friends}} with similar success.

Several of these disguises are posing as other characters, such as [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. [[Brock]] is usually the best at telling these disguises from the actual women, whether he is aware of it or not.

====Formal clothes====
*In ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
*Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessalina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
*Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
*Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore a blue Speedo. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
=====Snow wear=====
*Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

ShinyAeon is a user from the [[Bulbagarden forums]] who got into Pokémon through the anime in 2007; she has never played a Pokémon game in her life (a fact that fills her with a vague, wistful regret at times, but not enough to actually goad her into buying one to play). She is far too old to be dedicated to a kid's show and hopes fervently that no one mistakes her for a dangerous pervert. (She ''is'', technically speaking, a pervert, but as the objects of her perverted attentions are almost invariably fictional (and, at the present time, largely cartoons), she feels justified in classing herself as a ''harmless'' pervert, of the standard fangirl variety.)

She has become well-known in some Bulbagarden circles for: making overly long posts that few bother to read in entirety; applying analytical skills to the most trivial of subjects without shame; responding to argumentative posts with equally argumentative counterpoints despite knowing better (although this trait has declined in recent months); defending characters from bashing with a fervor common in traumatized Tracey fans; referring to her advanced age in vague, non-specific terms; failing to act her vague, non-specifically unmentioned age; fiercely promoting optimism among the young; and other questionable practices. After a brief time roaming the forums, she has settled in as a fairly permanent fixture in the Rocketshipping thread and generally only ventures forth to the Anime forum when she watches a new episode. As Rocketshipping is what got her into this fandom to begin with, she figures this is appropriate.

She came to Bulbapedia because she's anal retentive enough that if she spots a mistake or misspelling she feels compelled to fix it, and she figures this compulsion might just as well do ''someone'' some good.

ShinyAeon speaks in third person because [[User:Pie|Pie]]'s Userpage was her template to produce her own. She has much information to add to this page but has run out of time; she cannot ''believe'' there was not a "User:Writer" tag already, which forced her to squander her evening figuring out how to create one.

Talk:Filler episode

2009-08-29T17:38:21Z

ShinyAeon:

I suggest that separate articles for "Filler episode" and "Filler arc" be created. In crafting the definitions, I found the distinction to be significant (for instance, an episode where someone captures a Pokemon or a relationship changes is not normally a Filler episode; so "Snack Attack," where Ash captures Snorlax, and "Charizard Chills," where Charizard...uh...chills, are not technically Filler episodes, even if they ''are'' episodes in a Filler arc).

Then again, you may decide that my definitions are crap and throw all the changes out! ;-) Although I hope if you do, you add another definition...describing what a Filler episode is ''used for'' is not the same thing as describing what it ''is''.

Filler episode

2009-08-29T17:30:48Z

ShinyAeon: added an actual definition; added links to wp articles on "story arc" and "plot point;" added definition of a Filler arc vs a Filler episode.

'''Filler episodes''' are used by anime and other TV shows to extend the time between the individual [[wp:Plot_point|plot points]] of the major [[wp:Story_arc|story arcs]], or between the end of one major story arc and the beginning of another. A "Filler episode" is one in which nothing happens to affect the progress of the long-term story arcs or to develop the main characters, and no returning side characters, or other significant persons (other than the main characters), appear.

Any episode during a '''Filler arc''' may also sometimes be described as a "filler episode." A Filler arc is a storyline (often, though not always, shorter than the regular arcs) in which, over a number of episodes, an adventure is detailed that is unrelated, or tangental, to the main story arc(s); often, the "Filler arc adventure" does not derive from the original source material. Episodes in which permanent changes or character development occur ''can'' happen during a Filler arc.

==Purpose==

In manga-based anime such as ''{{wp|Naruto}}'', fillers have been used to put distance between the anime and its source material, preventing an overlap which would cause trouble for both forms of the series. Filler episodes may follow a formulaic (and often predictable) plot, loosely based on a main episode, which will either enter the backstory of a certain aspect of a show (such as Rainbow Crystal saga of ''{{wp|Sailor Moon}}'''s first season) or tell a completely new tale involving the main or supporting and even one-shot characters from previous episodes. (The Garlic Jr. saga of ''{{wp|Dragonball Z}}'' revisits the events that happened in its movie ''Deadzone''.) Fillers also may introduce aspects that may complement or contradict the canon of the original source. It is not uncommon that whole story arcs comprised of filler episodes will be used within a series in order to fill an episode count and subsequently build up to a main story arc.

==In Pokémon==
In the case of [[Pokémon]], the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands episodes]] are a filler arc, mainly used to delay the beginning of the Johto saga until {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} had been released.

Infamously, the [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys|third]], [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions|fourth]], and [[Pokémon: Master Quest|fifth]] seasons set in the [[Johto]] region are comprised of seemingly endless amounts of filler episodes with formulaic plots based on previous episodes. The arcs also served as a way to buy time for the releases of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and were possibly used after the [[GS Ball]], which was planned to consume a large portion of Johto's story, became a {{wp|MacGuffin|useless plot device}}. It is sometimes thought that the Johto seasons have led to decline of the Pokémon anime itself, often referred to as the point when the series "{{wp|Jumping The Shark|jumped the shark}}".

When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, filler episodes were reduced due to the introduction of [[Pokémon Contests]], causing many fans to declare it the best of the anime's arcs. As with the Kanto saga, however, Hoenn was followed by a filler arc, ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'', which built up for the arc corresponding to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.

With the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} on the air, some fans speculate that this arc will be another Johto-like arc, due to many filler episodes taking place, with [[Ash Ketchum]] having 7 badges and {{an|Dawn}} having 4 ribbons out of the [[List of Diamond & Pearl episodes|more than 100 aired episodes]] so far in Japan. It can alternatively be seen that there have been relatively few filler episodes due to the vast supporting cast featured in Sinnoh, and the focus on character development in humans and Pokémon.

Talk:RocketShipping

2009-08-20T10:12:59Z

ShinyAeon: /* A strange feeling */

== AntiRocketShippers ==

Do AntiRocketShippers '''count'''? They aren't even RocketShippers! Why not add "AntiPokéShippers" to the types of PokéShippers? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

It's worth noting their major arguments against the pairing. [[User:Argy|Argy]]

Question on that -- Then why ''isn't'' there a section for "AntiPokéShippers" in the PokéShippers page?? Seems a little bias to me. I am thinking the Sects of RocketShipping needs to be rewritten. Instead of there being a section for "AntiRocketShippers" under the categories of RocketShipping (which makes no sense to me), there should just be a paragraph noting the major arguments against the pairing. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 17:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

== Hints ==

Does anyone know a page we can link to that lists hints for RocketShipping? I want to link to Pokemopolis' anti-RocketShipping page, but it would be unfair to have that as the only external link. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 14:01, 25 October 2005 (CDT)

Done and done. [[User:Musashi|Musashi]]

== R*cketshippers==

Just curious, in reference to the last edit made on (15:15, 25 March 2007) by [[User:FrozenPandaMan|FrozenPandaMan]] - Why has the term "R*cketshippers" been changed to "Rocketshippers". :/ I'm not exactly active on creating shipping names, I just follow them - So before I make an edit I just want to know what the current shipping term should be for the 'old school shippers'. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 16:22, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

== Offensiveness ==

Whilst I agree with freedom and speech and the right to state what you believe, I think that this comment under RocketShippers: "Lives for any sort of event that can be considered a hint, no matter how small. The infamous manga is their bible." and a few others is a little too much. :/ Stating facts against the shipping is fine and all, but that just seems a bit too harsh to me and could be potentially insulting.

I very much agree -- I think that this entire article should be looked at and revised.. What gets me is that there is an AntiRocketShipper section, and yet there is nothing like that in some of the other shipping pages -- PokéShipping is a main example. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 04:28, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Removing the sects is one thing, but can we leave the rest of the page as it was? I don't think this current version gives as much information as the previous one. Bulbagarden Rocketshippers worked very hard on giving the page the revamp it desperately needed back in May, so I think the history section should be restored to what it was. [[User:Rocket Girl|Rocket Girl]] 07:10, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm all for keeping the sects, too. They're defunct now, but they're still a significant part of the ship's history. Either way, I think the page should be changed back to how it was before this "overhaul". The Bulbagarden Rocketshippers worked hard to make it presentable and informative, and it was just fine the way it was because of their extensive revamp. --[[User:Demon of Light|Demon of Light]] 07:33, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm with Demon of Light. Unlike the other ships, Rocketshippings' sects are a HUGE and notable part of its history. And from what I've read, I know you think you're doing the page a big favour (maybe you read old comments saying that the page was rubbish .etc.) but like Rocket Girl said, the Bulbagarden Rocketshippers put a lot of thought into it and gave the page a massive overhaul in May. What you've done is like taking a step backwards rather than forwards and it's now less informative than before. --[[User:ii kanji|ii kanji]] 10:23, 20 August 2009

:I'm also for keeping the sects in - there are so many older websites and fanfic comments out there that mention them, new fans that run into the terms need an overview! And - biased? Shipping is a bias in and of itself. I really don't understand what you mean, CherryParanoia. And needless to say, if you're going to make accusations of rudeness, you should be specific about what exactly you believe was "rude." I vote we restore the page as it was, and then reexamine it - if there's some specific wording you object to, then a little precise surgery will suffice better than this mass amputation. ~ShinyAeon, Aug 20, 2009, 4:56 AM CST

== AntiRocketShippers ==

Do AntiRocketShippers '''count'''? They aren't even RocketShippers! Why not add "AntiPokéShippers" to the types of PokéShippers? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]]

It's worth noting their major arguments against the pairing. [[User:Argy|Argy]]

Question on that -- Then why ''isn't'' there a section for "AntiPokéShippers" in the PokéShippers page?? Seems a little bias to me. I am thinking the Sects of RocketShipping needs to be rewritten. Instead of there being a section for "AntiRocketShippers" under the categories of RocketShipping (which makes no sense to me), there should just be a paragraph noting the major arguments against the pairing. --[[User:Mistress Puff|Puff]] 17:21, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Whilst I agree with freedom and speech and the right to state what you believe, I think that this comment under RocketShippers: "Lives for any sort of event that can be considered a hint, no matter how small. The infamous manga is their bible." and a few others is a little too much. :/ Stating facts against the shipping is fine and all, but that just seems a bit too harsh to me and could be potentially insulting.

'''Victreebel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウツボット''' ''Utsubot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Weepinbell}} via {{stone|Leaf Stone}}. It is the final form of {{p|Bellsprout}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Victreebel has the same shape as {{P|Weepinbell}}, only upside-down. There are four sharp teeth in Victreebel's mouth. Victreebel has a leaf covering its mouth that has a long, brown vine with a yellow tip growing out of it.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Victreebel lures prey into its mouth with {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet-smelling scents}}, then clamps down, trapping it.

===Behavior===
They can be found in small groups and are highly territorial. At the depths of the most dangerous jungles Victreebel live in huge colonies, and few Pokémon enter their territory and live to tell the tale. Victreebel horde food, usually small birds and rodents, and collect {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}s to perform [[evolution]] rituals at night to help Weepinbell become more Victreebel.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Victreebel live in forests, as well as tropical jungles and swamps where the ground is rich in nutrients. They can also occasionally be found in caves, near sources of underground water.

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

It uses an incredibly sweet-smelling honey to attract bugs, and sometimes larger prey, ranging from small rodents to creatures almost as large as themselves. The prey is then swallowed whole and is slowly digested by powerful acids strong enough to melt steel.

==In the anime==
[[Image:James_victreebel.jpg|thumb|right|James and his Victreebel]]
[[James]] had two separate {{TP|James|Victreebel}} (traded for each other in [[EP261]]), both of which evolved from [[Weepinbell]] while in his possession. His [[James's second Victreebel|second Victreebel]] was expelled from the group by Jessie after it attacked her. It landed near his [[James's Victreebel|first Victreebel]], both Pokémon fell in instantly in love, and they hopped off together into the forest. They have not been seen since .

==In the manga==
In [[PS022|round 22]] of the [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Red}} was kidnapped by a Victreebel into a hidden Victreebel colony in the [[Safari Zone]], where Victreebel wanted to use Red as food for its youngsters. Red managed to escape and caught Victreebel.

{{Special|Crystal}} from [[Pokémon Special]] manages to catch a Victreebel in her quest to fill the [[Pokédex]]. During the fight, [[Professor Elm|Elm]]'s {{p|Chikorita}} comes looking for Crystal, prompting Victreebel to sneakily use Chikorita as a living shield to defend itself from {{p|Arcanine}}'s {{type2|Fire}} attacks.

==Trivia==
* Because the game only allows for ten characters to make up a Pokémon's name, Victreebel's name only has one L. This problem also affects {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* Its green spots do not appear on its [[Generation II]] and {{gen|III}} backsprites.
* In its {{game2|Red|Green|Blue| (Japanese)}} sprites, Victreebel had dozens of smaller dots on its body. This seems to have been dropped for fewer, larger dots.

===Origin===
Victreebel and its pre-evolutions may be based upon carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s.
====Name origin====
Victreebel's name seems to be be a combination of ''bell'', referring to its bell-like shape, and ''victory''. The two E's in its name could also come from the word ''tree''. Its Japanese name is based on 靫葛 ''utsubokazura'', or "pitcher plant". It may also contain the Japanese 壷 ''tsubo'', meaning jar, or ポット, ''pot'', referring to its shape.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Sarzenia - Inspired by ''{{wp|Sarracenia}}'', a major genus of North American pitcher plants. Interestingly, Victreebel much more closely resembles a South-East-Asian ''{{wp|Nepenthes}}'' pitcher plant, making this name somewhat of a misnomer.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Empiflor - May come from ''Empereur'' (emperor), but it is much more like the verb ''empifrer'' (to eat with excess) and {{wp|flora}}.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 우츠보트 ''Ucheuboteu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 大食花 - Literally "big appetite flower".

ShinyAeon:

Why does Pupitar have Grace as one of its nicknames?

Where is his name spelt with a t? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 16:46, 30 March 2006 (CST)

Question: why is the image in the article "unsatisfactory?" ~ShinyAeon 2/22/09

== Starter Pokémon? ==

Could it possibly have been Zippo? After all, Ritchie does seem to be native to Kanto, and Delia and Oak mention that only Ash started with Pikachu due to special circumstances. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 22:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

it could have possibly been zippo since even after it evolved it was still obedient to ritchie unlike ash's charizard[[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]

== 3 More Pokémon ==

Isn't it worthy mentioning that Ritchie had 3 more Pokémon in the Kanto League. Possible ones include Spearow, Tentacool and Rhydon. I'm surprised that no one pointed this out. This should be also mentioned that in Electric Pikachu Boogaloo manga Zippo was already a Charizard when Ash battled Ritchie. The battle between two Charizards was eh, bloody. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:56, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

:The Rhydon belonged to Asunta, his opponent. Nobody knows whether the Spearow or Tentacool belonged to Ritchie, so it's never mentioned. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to at least mention how either Spearow or Tentacool belongs to him, but nobody knows which one does. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:58, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

== Mispelling of name ==

I've looked through several Pokémon books, several Pokémon websites, and even looked at the closed captioning of the episodes that Ritchie was in and they all spelt his name like this: "Richie". Should this be changed? I know that the page is titled the correct way to spell "Ritchie" but I think it sould be the other way. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 06:50, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:Well, we've gone with the books in the past... It's what makes the badge in the Orange Islands the Coral-Eye Badge. If you can scan the book, I suppose that'd be proof enough to say that a move is needed. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 08:09, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::Here's the proof. It's a scan from the book "Extreme Pokémon" and it's says its an official guide book. I circled Richie's name.

::::I brought it up in March of last year and we're only dealing with it ''now''?
::::The "What links here" page lists 111 links to Ritchie. Does Pie know how to work Bulbabot? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 16:32, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::I'm opposed to this idea. [[Pokémon Puzzle League|Puzzle League]] clearly spells his name as Ritchie. Additionally, the closed captioning of at least two Chronicles episodes with Ritchie in it go with "Ritchie" as opposed to "Richie". I wouldn't advise a movement, lest a move war ensue...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
(Just for the record, I've went ahead and synchronized Ritchie's name and removed wording conflict. Only the "also" reference on [[Ritchie]] and the Trigun character on [[Kenji Nojima]]'s bio were not changed to Ritchie since the former is regarded as an alternate spelling listing and the latter is an unrelated character. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC))
The games that include him spell it Richie as well so...[[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]
::Um...I don't think Richie isn't spelled that way in any games...and this is also an old comment.--[[User:Taviource|Tavis]][[User talk:Taviource|ource]] 22:11, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
:::i meant Ri'''t'''chie wit a "t"[[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]
I've got that book too and I found a couple of other mistakes in it, so maybe "Richie" is also a mistake. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 22:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Frodomar City? ==

I don't remember anything like that. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Watch ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]''. The dubbed version of course. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 16:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::Screw Chronicles dub. I hate how they're missing important facts from original and adding their own (I don't consider those dub-added things as canon, however). Legend of Thunder is a main victim of it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ritchie'd be revealed to be from Pallet Town or some other actual town in Japanese version. But it's very unlikely, so I think we'll just have that random Frodomar City as the Ritchie's hometown forever. Unless writers decide to revive him. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Well I did state that it was only mentioned in the dub. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 19:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah. And I did see it. But I still hate 4Kids's Chronicles thing. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:32, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::someone mentioned that he said Frodomar city because he lied so he won distort time because he was sent back in time with celebi so...its kind of confusing but i dont think ritchie's full info will be revealed we are going to have to stick with frodomar city. [[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]
::::::Recently watched the episode, and I can confirm that, given the way it was spoken, I assumed that "Frodomar" was something Ritchie made up on the spot. He hesitated a second, and it actually came out as a mumbled "Fr*d*mar" (with the "*'s" standing in for schwa's). I actually laughed, I thought it was both clever and hilarious. Perhaps his home town could be listed as "Unconfirmed" with a footnote to an explanation? ~ShinyAeon

== Unpopularity ==

Um, Im sorry to interrupt and I know its not my place to go around asking stupid questions, but I wanted to ask why Richie is so unpopular in the fandom? [[User:Nobody|TheRampardosMaster]] 23:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

:I don't have a solid answer to this, but I believe it's because many people believe he's an unoriginal character. The allegation has been that he is an Ash clone, and there is circumstantial evidence to support that, with the most obvious being that they catch the same types of Pokémon. Both have Pikachu, Butterfree, Charmander/Charmeleon, Taillow, and Ritchie has a Pupitar, while Ash temporarily took care of a Larvitar. That's what I think, anyway. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 23:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

::Also many people have a problem with him being so smart and making everyone around him seem dumber than they are. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 00:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, I like him... [[User:Maki|Maki]] 07:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, he is just a clone. [[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 20:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Of course he's a clone, that's what his character was designed to be. --[[User:Shinin|Shinin]] 16:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. Ritchie's my favorite rival of Ash's. I always thought he was cool, even for a clone character. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 03:38, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Ash's pokemon ==

== Richie ==
I read a pokemon book yesterday hisname was writtn as Richie.--[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 10:56, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

== Red/Green versions... ==

Well, I was thinking about this randomly and the fact that the original versions of Pokémon were the Red and Green versions, along with Ritchie's outfit being ''green''... As we know, the opening scene of the first episode uses Red version's Nidorino vs. Gengar as opposed to Green/Blue version's Jigglypuff vs. Gengar, indicating Ash's journey as being the "Red version" (And hey, the name Ash actually comes from the Red version, if it came from Green/Blue he'd be ''Gary'') may indicate that the signifigance of Ritchie's green outfit is that he may be intended as the hero of the "Green version". I was wondering whether something like this may be worthy of going in the trivia section of the page? --[[User:Sato|Sato]] 12:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

::::The "What links here" page lists 111 links to Ritchie. Does Pie know how to work Bulbabot? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 16:32, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::I'm opposed to this idea. [[Pokémon Puzzle League|Puzzle League]] clearly spells his name as Ritchie. Additionally, the closed captioning of at least two Chronicles episodes with Ritchie in it go with "Ritchie" as opposed to "Richie". I wouldn't advise a movement, lest a move war ensue...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:29, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
(Just for the record, I've went ahead and synchronized Ritchie's name and removed wording conflict. Only the "also" reference on [[Ritchie]] and the Trigun character on [[Kenji Nojima]]'s bio were not changed to Ritchie since the former is regarded as an alternate spelling listing and the latter is an unrelated character. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 16:49, 16 August 2007 (UTC))
The games that include him spell it Richie as well so...[[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]

I've got that book too and I found a couple of other mistakes in it, so maybe "Richie" is also a mistake. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 22:05, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

== Frodomar City? ==

I don't remember anything like that. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:38, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:Watch ''[[H013|Celebi and Joy]]''. The dubbed version of course. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 16:47, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::Screw Chronicles dub. I hate how they're missing important facts from original and adding their own (I don't consider those dub-added things as canon, however). Legend of Thunder is a main victim of it. I wouldn't be surprised if Ritchie'd be revealed to be from Pallet Town or some other actual town in Japanese version. But it's very unlikely, so I think we'll just have that random Frodomar City as the Ritchie's hometown forever. Unless writers decide to revive him. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 17:11, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:::Well I did state that it was only mentioned in the dub. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 19:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
::::Yeah. And I did see it. But I still hate 4Kids's Chronicles thing. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:32, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
:::::someone mentioned that he said Frodomar city because he lied so he won distort time because he was sent back in time with celebi so...its kind of confusing but i dont think ritchie's full info will be revealed we are going to have to stick with frodomar city. [[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]
::::::Recently watched the episode, and I can confirm that, given the way it was spoken, I assumed that "Frodomar" was something Ritchie made up on the spot. He hesitated a second, and it actually came out as a mumbled "Fr*d*mar" (with the "*'s" standing in for schwa's). I actually laughed, I thought it was both clever and hilarious. Perhaps his home town could be listed as "Unconfirmed" with a footnote to an explanation? ~ShinyAeon

== Unpopularity ==

Um, Im sorry to interrupt and I know its not my place to go around asking stupid questions, but I wanted to ask why Richie is so unpopular in the fandom? [[User:Nobody|TheRampardosMaster]] 23:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

:I don't have a solid answer to this, but I believe it's because many people believe he's an unoriginal character. The allegation has been that he is an Ash clone, and there is circumstantial evidence to support that, with the most obvious being that they catch the same types of Pokémon. Both have Pikachu, Butterfree, Charmander/Charmeleon, Taillow, and Ritchie has a Pupitar, while Ash temporarily took care of a Larvitar. That's what I think, anyway. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 23:59, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

::Also many people have a problem with him being so smart and making everyone around him seem dumber than they are. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 00:27, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I dunno, I like him... [[User:Maki|Maki]] 07:12, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree, he is just a clone. [[User:Cerberus|Cerberus]] 20:35, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Of course he's a clone, that's what his character was designed to be. --[[User:Shinin|Shinin]] 16:22, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't know. Ritchie's my favorite rival of Ash's. I always thought he was cool, even for a clone character. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 03:38, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

== Ash's pokemon ==

All of his known pokemon are either pokemon ash had or took care of(larvitar)-[[User:Darkmaster0|Darkmaster]][[User talk:Darkmaster0|0]]

::He means should we have a section on the table for Ritchie's Pokémon in the manga. I say no. The only difference in the manga is that Zippo is a Charizard and Sparky's name is... I forgot.

== Red/Green versions... ==

Well, I was thinking about this randomly and the fact that the original versions of Pokémon were the Red and Green versions, along with Ritchie's outfit being ''green''... As we know, the opening scene of the first episode uses Red version's Nidorino vs. Gengar as opposed to Green/Blue version's Jigglypuff vs. Gengar, indicating Ash's journey as being the "Red version" (And hey, the name Ash actually comes from the Red version, if it came from Green/Blue he'd be ''Gary'') may indicate that the signifigance of Ritchie's green outfit is that he may be intended as the hero of the "Green version". I was wondering whether something like this may be worthy of going in the trivia section of the page? --[[User:Sato|Sato]] 12:43, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

'''You Can Never Taillow''' (Japanese: '''スバメがいっぱい　危険がいっぱい！トウカの森でゲットだぜ!!''' ''A Lot of {{tt|Subame|Taillow}}! A Lot of Danger! Capture in {{tt|Touka|Petalburg}} Woods!'') is the fourth episode of Advanced Generation. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 12, 2002 and in USA on November 22, 2003.

Ash and friends entered a forest. Their hunger changed the day when Ash capture his first Pokémon in this region, and Brock joined their group!

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis cleanup}}
{{Ash}}, [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are walking in a forest. May complains that she is hungry while Max complains that he hasn't seen one new Pokémon yet. The two start to bicker about what to do next, pulling Ash in two directions until he and Pikachu yell for them to stop. Ash decides they'll take a quick lunch break and ''then'' decide which way to go, but there's one problem...none of them have brought lunch with them; even Pikachu's food canister is empty. Ash apologizes for messing up, then wishes Brock were there, telling May and Max about him - especially how good a cook he is.

Max pulls out his "emergency stash," a chocolate cookie. They agree to share the small treat, when suddenly a {{p|Taillow}} swoops in and snatches it. They chase the Taillow, with May incensed over the food theft and Max excited that he finally found a Pokémon. The Taillow soon eats the chocolate, and Max asks if he liked it.

Pikachu discovers that they are in a grove of fruit trees. Ash tells Pikachu to shock down some fruit; however, numerous Taillow appear and snatch it up before it hits the ground. Then more Taillow appear and surround the group, looking angry. Ash wonders if it's because they're in the Taillow's territory. Ash orders Pikachu to [[Thunderbolt]] them; the Taillow are knocked down, but recover quickly. A second Thunderbolt is also shaken off.

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} watching from the bushes, are impressed with the Taillow's resilience. They speculate that catching Pikachu would be easy if the fierce Taillow were on their side.

Meanwhile, Pikachu continues to shock the Taillow, hitting one that May spots as the leader. Max notes that the chocolate moustache on its beak marks it as the cookie-thief. The Taillow shrugs off Pikachu's attack and leads the others in a mass attack on our heroes. They prepare to be hit hard when...

A figure appears, throwing a Poké Ball and commanding {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} to use {{m|Explosion}}. It is [[Brock]] to the rescue!

Introductions are made, and then Brock offers the others sandwiches (actually [[rice balls]]) only to discover they have been stolen from his backpack. He offers to cook up some stew instead. A little way off, Team Rocket make use of the Taillow, bribing them with the stolen "sandwiches" to capture Pikachu.

Meanwhile, the chocolate-beaked Taillow has (seemingly on its own) shown up to challenge Pikachu, and Ash enthusiastically agrees. They battle over the stream but the Taillow, despite taking several Thunderbolts and a massive {{m|Thunder}} attack, refuses to back down. Brock tells Ash to stop the fight before he hurts it any more - he'll have to catch it. Ash throws a Poké Ball and captures {{AP|Taillow}}.

Ash calls his new Taillow out; Brock spritzes it with medicine and Ash wipes the chocolate off its beak (with [[Misty|Misty's]] handkerchief) and Ash, Pikachu and Taillow do a victory pose.

Team Rocket then makes their appearance, ordering the Taillow to attack...but Brock's cooking alarm goes off, announcing the stew is ready. Brock offers to share with the hungry Taillow flock, who lose interest in fighting. Team Rocket mourns the failure of their plan, but go to attack anyway, figuring Pikachu will be weak with hunger. However, they get blasted off, as Ash informs them that Pikachu ate Brock's Pokémon food already.

Taillow says goodbye to its flock, who fly away as our heroes continue their journey, now joined by Brock and Taillow.

Then more Taillow appear and surround the group, looking angry. Ash wonders if it's because they're in the Taillow's territory. Ash orders Pikachu to [[Thunderbolt]] them. The Taillow are knocked down, but recover quickly. A second Thunderbolt is also shaken off.

[[Team Rocket]], watching from the bushes, are impressed with the Taillow's resilience. They speculate that catching Pikachu would be easy if the fierce Taillow were on their side.

Meanwhile, Pikachu continues to shock the Taillow, hitting one that May spots as the leader. Max notes that the chocolate moustache on its beak marks it as the cookie-thief. The Taillow shrugs off Pikachu's attack and leads the others in a mass attack on our heroes. They prepare to be hit hard when...

A figure appears, commanding {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} to use {{m|Explosion}}. It is [[Brock]] to the rescue!

Introductions are made, and then Brock offers them sandwiches (actually [[rice balls]]) only to discover they have been stolen. He offers to cook up something. A little way off, Team Rocket make use of the Taillow, bribing them with the stolen "sandwiches" to capture Pikachu.

Meanwhile, the chocolate-beaked Taillow has (seemingly on its own) shown up to challenge Pikachu, and Ash enthusiastically agrees. They battle over the stream but the Taillow, despite taking several Thunderbolts and a massive {{m|Thunder}} attack, refuses to back down. Brock tells Ash to stop the fight before he hurts it any more - he'll have to catch it. Ash throws a Pokéball and captures {{AP|Taillow}}.

Ash calls his new Taillow out; Brock spritzes it with medicine and Ash wipes the chocolate off its beak (with [[Misty|Misty's]] handkerchief) and Ash, Pikachu and Taillow do a victory pose.

Team Rocket then makes their appearance, ordering the Taillow to attack...but Brock's cooking alarm goes off, announcing the stew is ready. Brock offers to share with the hungry Taillow flock, who lose interest in fighting. Team Rocket mourns the failure of their plan, but go to attack anyway, figuring Pikachu will be weak with hunger. However, they get blasted off, as Ash informs them that Pikachu ate Brock's Pokémon food already.

Taillow says goodbye to its flock, who fly away as our heroes continue their journey, now joined by Brock and Taillow.

== Synopsis ==
{{Synopsis cleanup}}
{{Ash}}, [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]], {{an|May}} and [[Max]] are walking in a forest. May complains that she is hungry while Max complains that he hasn't seen one new Pokémon yet. The two start to bicker about what to do next, pulling Ash in two directions until he and Pikachu yell for them to stop. Ash decides they'll take a quick lunch break and then decide which way to go, but there's one problem...none of them have brought lunch with them. Even Pikachu's food canister is empty. Ash apologizes for messing up, then wishes Brock were there, telling May and Max about him, especially how good a cook he is.

Max pulls out his "emergency stash," a chocolate cookie. They agree to share the small treat, when suddenly a {{p|Taillow}} swoops in and snatches it. They chase the Taillow, with May after the food and Max exclaiming that he finally found a Pokémon. The Taillow soon eats the chocolate, and Max asks if he liked it.

Pikachu discovers that they are in a grove of fruit trees. Ash tells Pikachu to shock down some fruit, however, numerous Taillow appear and snatch it up before it hits the ground. Then more Taillow appear and surround the group, looking angry. Ash wonders if it's because they're in the Taillow's territory. Ash orders Pikachu to [[Thunderbolt]] them. The Taillow are knocked down, but recover quickly. A second Thunderbolt is also shaken off.

[[Team Rocket]], watching from the bushes, are impressed with the Taillow's resilience. They speculate that catching Pikachu would be easy if the fierce Taillow were on their side.

Meanwhile, Pikachu continues to shock the Taillow, hitting one that May spots as the leader. Max notes that the chocolate moustache on its beak marks it as the cookie-thief. The Taillow shrugs off Pikachu's attack and leads the others in a mass attack on our heroes. They prepare to be hit hard when...
