<big> <big> Okay, so I'm ShinyPikachu. I'm a very inactive member of this community. I used to be relatively active many years ago (~7); but, as of late, I haven't even logged on. It's sort of amazing how much this community has grown and evolved since I first joined here over 9 years ago. I know no one will see this, because no one checks the "Recently Editted" list, and because no one is clicking on my username due to severe inactivity, but I just want to say I'm proud of this community. People around the world are using this as a true encyclopedia, the way it was intended to be used. And I love that. Keep it up.

Your's, will love.

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The é can be accessed by holding Alt and typing either '''130''' or '''0233''' on a Windows computer, and by using Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can easily click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a capital '''B'''. The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded. To activate your account at the Archives and Bulbanews, please login there using the same username and password you use here on Bulbapedia.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]'' 21:08, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

: why? ShinyPiKa 17:38, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
::Those kinds of pages were the main reason people were abusing the User namespace, slamming the server in the process. Legitimate content edits were overshadowed by games such as "find the wedding" (mainly a blatant advertisment for ShowtimeShipping) and "rescue the kids". It was stuff like that that caused the recent userspace lockdown. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:04, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

== Bulba Post Gazette ==

Please don't put your fan newspaper project on the main namespace. The main namespace is not for stuff that belongs on the userspace. Instead, keep it in your user space, such as at [[User:ShinyPikachu/The User Post Gazette]]. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

== About the Sprites ==

:First, Meowth is no different than the other Meowth. Secondly, Kuki doesn't know how to make sprites. He's the one who tells ME what sprites to make. In other sense, I'm the one you're looking for, not him. But I'm very busy, so you could ask the other people who do this to. Try asking {{u|Pachirisulover12}}, {{u|Kenji-girl}}, or {{u|Tc26}}.

I founda page on Pokemon.com that shows sprites of pokemon, yet these aren't the offical sprites.Heres a link to it [http://www.pokemon.com/#diamondandpearl_30.swf] §hin¥£ik@chu 22:06, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

== Signature link problem ==

The problem is, namely, that your signature ''doesn't'' link. As per the {{bp|Signature policy}}, you've got to at least have a link to your own userpage in your signature... you know, so people can actually find you (I had to go into the page history to find a link back to your userpage, since I didn't know the exact spelling for your username). All you really need to do is un-check the "Raw Signatures" box in your [[special:Preferences|Preferences]], and the wiki software will do the linking for you.
Aside from that, you signature's perfectly fine, I just need you to make sure it links back to your page. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 22:25, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

== I've got an idea ==

This might sound silly, but why don't we have; once a year; and awards cerimony? Some awards could be
* Most original sig.
* Most edits in the year.
* Longest User (the creator doesn't count)
* Most knowledgable User.

:::::::Very, considering the amount of edit wars we have, the fact that the signature policy amkes everyone's sig the same (yours is brekaing the rules as it does not represent your username in ANY way) and that everyone here shares their knowledge with everyone else. Except for Japanese who gain an advantage in everything, South East Asians with Pokemon Special and the US people since they are the second in line. So that's an unfair test. The longest user would win every year. '''[[User:Optimatum|<sc>Θρtιmαtum♏</sc>]][[User talk:Optimatum|Talk]]|[[User:Optimatum/sig/Pikachu|Links]]

Colorless (TCG)

2011-12-14T22:47:12Z

ShinyPikachu: Dragon Selection Sub-set

{{TCGTypes|tcg colorless}}
The '''Colorless-type''' is one of the ten {{TCG|Elemental types|TCG elemental types}}. It is represented by the color white.

Containing a wide range of Pokémon, the Colorless-type covers from the very weakest of Pokémon, such as {{TCG|Rattata}}, to among the strongest, such as {{TCG|Rayquaza}}. Pokémon which are of the {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Dragon}}-{{tt|*|Prior to Dragon Selection Sub-set}}, and {{type2|Flying}}s in the [[main series]] games become Colorless-type in the TCG.

Colorless can be seen as the "neutral" type, as attacks with an {{TCG|Energy}} cost listed with {{TCG|Colorless Energy}} may use any of the other eight types of Energy to count for that Colorless. Due to this, unlike the other eight, there is no {{TCG|Basic Energy card}} associated with Colorless— all cards providing only Colorless Energy also provide {{TCG|Recycle Energy|some other effect}}, or provide {{TCG|Double Colorless Energy|multiple Energy units}}, aside from {{TCG|React Energy}}.

==Battle properties==
Generally, Colorless Pokémon have a weakness to:
* {{TCG|Lightning}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Flying}} in the games)
* {{TCG|Fighting}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Normal}} in the games)
* Colorless (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Dragon}} in the games)

These types are generally weak to Colorless Pokémon:
* Colorless (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Dragon}} in the games)

These types are generally resistant to Colorless Pokémon:
* {{TCG|Psychic}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Ghost}} in the games)

Generally, Colorless Pokémon have a resistance to:
* {{TCG|Psychic}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Normal}} (only true previous to the e-card releases) or {{type2|Dragon}} (only true up to the EX releases) in the games)
* {{TCG|Fighting}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Flying}} or {{type2|Dragon}} in the games)
* {{TCG|Fire}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Dragon}} in the games, only true to the EX releases)
* {{TCG|Grass}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Dragon}} in the games, only true to the EX releases)
* {{TCG|Water}} (if the Pokémon is a {{type2|Dragon}} in the games, only true to the EX releases)

==Colorless Pokémon in the TCG==
See [[:Category:Colorless-type Pokémon cards]] for all Pokémon cards that have this type.

'''Cynthia''' (Japanese: '''シロナ''' ''Shirona'') is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Sinnoh]] region's [[Elite Four]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==In the games==
===In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}===
Cynthia helps the main character against [[Team Galactic]] in a point in the game. She will give the player [[HM01]] in [[Eterna City]]. She is also found on {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} after the player has defeated [[Crasher Wake]] and received the {{Badge|Fen}}. She gives the player the [[SecretPotion]] to get past the {{p|Psyduck}} group on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} to get to [[Celestic Town]]. She then gives the player the [[Old Charm]] to give to [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]]. She is very interested in mythology and history, and spends her time researching and exploring various sites associated with [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Sinnoh]] region.
Her family lives in [[Celestic Town]], although her own hometown is unknown. She is implied to have helped {{prof|Rowan}} with his [[Pokédex]] and embarked on an adventure similar to the {{Player|protagonist}} as a child.

Later, she reappears as the Pokémon League Champion.

''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for [[Mt. Coronet]]. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, I accept your challenge!"''

*During battle (after sending out last Pokémon)
:''"I can't remember the last time I was put in a corner like this!"''

*During battle (less than half HP)
:''"I won't let this end yet! This match is too fun to let it end this easily!"''

*When defeated
:''"Just a few moments ago, you were the most powerful challenger. And just now, you became the most powerful of all the Trainers. You are now our newest Champion!"''

=====At {{si|Pokémon League}} ([[Rematch]])=====
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''

===In {{game|Platinum}}===
When encountered in [[Eterna City]], she will also give the {{player}} an {{pkmn|egg}} from which {{p|Togepi}} will hatch.

After Giratina appears in [[Spear Pillar]] and takes [[Cyrus]] down with it, Cynthia rushes to the scene and assists the player during their trip to the Distortion World. She then expresses that everything that happened was destined, even though she wished that she was the one who battled {{p|Giratina}}.

After beating the game, if the {{player}} visits [[Celestic Town]] Ruins, she will come and explain what the ruins mean.

{{incomplete|section}}
=====At [[Eterna City]]=====
''"Oh, that device you have... It is a [[Pokédex]]? Wow, it brings back some memories. Pardon me, but what’s your name? ... OK, hello, <player>. I’ll be sure to remember that name! My name is Cynthia. I’m a Trainer [[Pokémon Champion|just like you]]. I’ve been studying Pokémon mythology lately, just out of curiosity. Here in Eterna City, there is a statue of an ancient Pokémon. Have you seen it already? According to myth, it was an extremely powerful Pokémon. Who knows? You may encounter something like it while you’re traveling with your Pokédex. Oh, I know! Try using this. It should be helpful. Remember, the hidden move [[Cut (move)|Cut]] can be used in the field. It will let you go places that were previously inaccessible to you. That’s important for filling up your Pokédex, right? Then luck be with you, young Trainer! Oh, there’s one last thing! Please give my regards to [[Professor Rowan|Prof. Rowan]]."''

''"Oh, there you are! I was looking for you. I've got something nice. I wanted you to have this [[Pokémon egg|Pokémon Egg]]. Will you accept it? ''(If yes is selected)'' That's wonderful! The [[Togepi (Pokémon)|Pokémon inside the Egg]] is happy, too. I'm sure of it! Keep that Egg with you in your party of Pokémon. A Pokémon will hatch from it while you are traveling. I would be happy to know that it will help you fill another page of your Pokédex. See you again!"''

=====At {{si|Pokémon League}}=====
''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for [[Mt. Coronet]]. And the [[Distortion World]]. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here. As the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, I accept your challenge!"''

=====At the [[Celestic Ruins]] (Post [[Elite Four#Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four]])=====
''"This cave painting...It's always been described this way. The light in the center represents either {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} appearing at the [[Spear Pillar]]. The three lights around it were thought to be {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. May I continue? But, then, I realized that there may be another way of interpreting this. Could this triangle of lights actually represent a different trio? Could they be {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} instead? And the large light at their center. Does it represent something else? Could it be {{p|Arceus|what created this world of ours}}? May I continue for a little bit longer? Thank you for listening to my theory. Do you know of the ancient [[Plate]]s they find all over [[Sinnoh]]? One of them had this engraved on it. 'Two beings of time and space set free from the Original One.' I think this quote, too, points to the presence of another Pokémon. A Pokémon even more powerful than Dialga or Palkia. Does that sound plausible to you? I'm not quite sure how Giratina fits into this scheme of things, but... It's said that in the [[Distortion World]], neither time nor space were stable. I think that tells us something about Giratina, the only Pokémon there. It must have been as powerful as Dialga and Palkia, the rulers of time and space. In some way, though, Giratina has to have a power opposite of theirs. I'm sorry this is so long. May I say one last bit? A long time ago, I wonder what sort of person painted this? Dialga's {{m|Roar of Time}}...Palkia's {{m|Spacial Rend}}...To the people back then, those Pokémon really must have appeared to rule over time and space. Seeing them must have shaken the people to their very core. This painting represents those feelings of awe, wonder, and everything else. It passed that memory to countless people, eventually becoming a myth...That's what I believe as a researcher of myths. I think I let myself get carried away and talked for far too long. I'm sorry, and thank you. Let's meet again."''

[[File:Cynthiaarceus.jpg|thumb|right|Cynthia with Arceus]]
Cynthia makes an appearance in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], doing further investigation on the origins of {{p|Arceus}} and the [[creation trio]]. If the player has an Arceus with a [[fateful encounter]] marker, when the main character visits the [[Ruins of Alph]], it will reveal the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Inside, Cynthia is found, and will tell the player that Arceus will let him/her obtain a level 1 {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}}. If the player returns with an Arceus caught at the [[Hall of Origin]], which has not yet had [[Azure Flute|its event item]] released, they will be informed she has returned to Sinnoh and the event will run without her.

====Quotes====
=====At the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]=====
''"My name is Cynthia. I am a Pokémon Trainer. The {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} remind me of [[Sinnoh]], where I come from. Initially, I thought it was because it snows a lot here as well. But that was not it. A long time ago... people came from Sinnoh to live here. They must have built a temple here while longing for home. That's why we call these the {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}}... You are... a [[Pokémon Trainer]]? I can sense strong power coming from your [[Poké Ball]]... I feel a familiar presence... The power of <sc>Dialga</sc>... <sc>Palkia</sc>... or could it be <sc>Giratina</sc>? It's similar, but not quite the same... Have you got time? Can you come to the {{color|FF0000|Sinjoh Ruins}} with me? Call it a Trainer's intuition. When you and your Pokémon step onto that stage, something will happen."''

''"This is the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}}. The mythical stage built to show respect for <sc>Arceus</sc>. It is said that people used to celebrate its magnificent might with music and dance. Some people in Johto still pass down this tradition."''

* If the player does not have only a single Arceus in the party
:''"The {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} allows a single <sc>Arceus</sc> and nothing else to get on the stage... If you wish to go up there, you will have to deposit your other Pokémon in PC Box at the cabin."''
* If the player only has a single {{p|Arceus}} in the party
:''"According to an ancient document, time, space, and antimatter, or what combined we call the world, shall be born when <sc>Arceus</sc> stands on the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}}. This is where one might say, "The lead enters the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} at last." All my study of ruins and Pokémon mythology in Sinnoh may have been to bring you up on this stage here today... Depicted on the {{color|FF0000|Mystri Stage}} are the Pokémon that shaped this world. The circle in the middle is <sc>Arceus</sc>, the origin of it all... This is the pattern that represents <sc>Palkia</sc>, the master of space and dimensions... This is the pattern that represents <sc>Dialga</sc>, the guardian of time... This is the pattern that represents <sc>Giratina</sc>, the ruler of the world that is on the opposite side of ours, the world of antimatter... <sc>Arceus</sc> has accepted you as a Trainer. <sc>Arceus</sc>, having shaped the world, is said to show you a glimpse of its true power. The power of possibly making life appear out of nothing... It seems that something will happen when you chose one of the circles... You'll want to be well prepared."''

''"Once you are ready, choose a circle and stand in the middle of it."''

* Standing on {{p|Dialga}}'s circle
:''"So you choose <sc>Dialga</sc>, the guardian of time?"''
* Standing on {{p|Palkia}}'s circle
:''"So you choose <sc>Palkia</sc>, the master of space and dimensions?"''
* Standing on {{p|Giratina}}'s circle
:''"So you choose <sc>Giratina</sc>, the ruler of the [[Distortion World]]?"''

''"That shining sphere... Could it be...an {{pkmn|egg|Egg}}? Did we just witness the very moment an Egg was brought to this world? A moment no one has ever seen? An Egg is the cradle of every being. The planet itself is an Egg in a sense... Life that comes from an Egg will come to an end in due course... to begin anew... That may be what <sc>Arceus</sc> wanted to show us."''

''"That was...? We seem to be surrounded by that strong power again...!"''

===In {{game|Black and White|s}}===
Cynthia appears in a house in [[Undella Town]], where she can be battled. She leaves after being defeated and afterwards reappears during spring and summer. During spring, she can be rebattled once a day. After defeating her, [[Shauntal]] and [[Caitlin]] can be seen visiting this house in the spring, and [[Lenora]], [[Elesa]], [[Iris]], & [[Skyla]] visit in the summer. She speaks about a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} who defeated her, and mentions that that Trainer defeated {{p|Giratina}}, referring to the events of {{game|Platinum}}.

=====At [[Undella Town]] (1st Visit)=====
''"What's this?"''

''"What an uncanny resemblance... It's surprising to meet another Trainer who has intense eyes like that {{ga|Lucas|Pokémon}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}}. What's your name? ... OK. I'll remember that! <{{Player|Player}}>, nice to meet you. I'm Cynthia. I'm a Pokémon Trainer, too, like you. I have an insatiable curiosity for researching Pokémon myths."''

''"I'm sure you know about Undella Town's [[Abyssal Ruins]], right? I'm staying here at my friend's villa so I can investigate them."''

''"In order to get to know each other better as Pokémon Trainers, I would like our Pokémon to have a match. Would you care to be my opponent?"''

:'''No''': ''"Ha ha. You prefer to take things slowly and rationally, am I right? When you're ready, come talk to me. I'll be happy to see you."''

''"Oh. You've had a chance to get ready? I do want our Pokémon to have a match... Are you prepared to be my opponent?"

:'''Yes''': ''"Before I send out my Pokémon, my heart always begins to race... Interesting... My Pokémon in their Poké Balls are radiating a happy feeling. Are you the reason? What are you?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon:
:''"When was the last time I was driven into a corner like this?"''
*During battle (less than half HP):
:''"You haven't won yet! I won't let such a fun battle end so easily!"''
*When defeated:
:''"My heart is pounding so hard because I had such a heated battle with you. You are a really great Trainer!!"''

''"That was beyond my expectation! What an exceptional {{pkmn|battle}}! You certainly bear a resemblance to that Trainer who faced {{p|Giratina}}... Oh, pardon me. I was just thinking out loud. I love being here in [[seasons|spring and summer]]. I can't stay all year, because there's so much to investigate in [[Sinnoh]], as well. You're a great Trainer, and it would make me happy to see you again sometime."''

''"I love to come here in spring and summer. But there are a lot of things to investigate in Sinnoh, as well. I'd be delighted to see you again. You're an awesome Pokémon Trainer!"''

=====At [[Undella Town]] (Spring and Summer only)=====
''"I'd love to live here...But if I did, there would be a mountain of research piled up...Am I right? Cynthia, enough for now! Next time, clean up."''

''"What is necessary for becoming stronger than you are now? My answer is simply loving Pokemon with all your heart. That's how I am, so that's all I can say."''

''"Hmm. This is difficult. I was greedy and bought a lot of swimsuits, but now I can't pick which one to wear."''

''"Here's my problem. I have a {{game3|Black and White|white|s}} swimsuit and a {{game3|Black and White|black|s}} swimsuit...Which one would look better on me?"''

''"Once every few years, the Champions of each region gather and compete to see who is the strongest! An interesting idea, don't you agree?"

Cynthia first appears in [[PS347|Vs. Roserade II]] where she is seen correctly predicting the evolutions of {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{Adv|Platinum}}'s [[Tru]], [[Chimler]], and [[Platinum's Prinplup|Prinplup]]. After laughing at Dia and Pearl's Manzai, she decided to give Platinum some advice for her upcoming Gym challenge against [[Gardenia]]. Afterwards, she invades the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] and frees the bike store owner, Rad Rickshaw, with ease using her {{p|Spiritomb}}'s Psychic combined with attacks of Diamond's Tru and Platinum's Prinplup. She later appears at Mr. Backlot's mansion where she investigates a case of missing Psyduck and takes the group to Route 210 and uses the [[Secret Potion]] to cure the Psyduck roadblock of their headaches. After meeting up with her grandmother, Cynthia takes the one Psyduck that belonged to a Trainer back to it's owner, lending her Garchomp to them for protection. In [[PS406|Vs Honchkrow]] during Diamond and Pearl's infiltration of the Galactic HQ, she personally challenges Cyrus to a one on one battle, despite her best efforts and powerful Pokémon she is unable to defeat him and he escapes with her too exhausted to follow. Later, she takes Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum to the Spear Pillar where they fight their final battle against him and the Legendary Dialga and Palkia.

==Trivia==
* Cynthia is the only female [[non-player character|NPC]] Champion.
* In the {{pkmn|games}}, Cynthia's Pokémon have perfect, or all 31, [[Individual values|IVs]].
* Cynthia is the only Champion to appear in a [[Pokémon movie]], discounting [[Gary Oak]], the anime counterpart to {{ga|Blue}}.
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, when Cynthia visits the player at their [[Villa]], she notes how relaxing it is there and that that she doesn't want to go home because her house is a complete mess. She goes on to say, "My house? Even the [[region]] is a secret!". This hints that she may have lived in another region other than Sinnoh.

Ditto (Egg Group)

2011-06-09T19:08:28Z

ShinyPikachu: /* Trivia */ No egg--->Undiscovered

{{EggGroups}}
The '''Ditto egg group''' (Japanese: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is one of the fifteen [[egg group]]s. It is the only group which has only one member.

==Characteristics==
As there is only one Pokémon in the Ditto egg group, Pokémon in this group are all shapeless, purple blobs. However, they have the ability to breed with every member of every other egg group but the "No eggs" and "Ditto" egg group.

==Pokémon==
===Only in this egg group===
{{egglist|A664BF|C59AD5}}
{{Moveentrytm|132|Ditto|1|Normal|}}
|}
|}

===In this and another egg group===
None.

==Trivia==
*Pokémon in the Ditto group can breed with any Pokémon from any egg group, excluding the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}. However, Ditto cannot breed with members of its own group, meaning that Ditto cannot be hatched from an egg.
*Since this group consists of a single Pokémon, it is naturally the egg group with the lowest number of types represented, with just one.

'''Dragonspiral Tower''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|リュウラセンの塔|リュウラセンのとう}}''' ''Dragonspiral Tower'') is an old tower where {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} was sealed after the war thousands of years ago. It is first seen when [[N]] awakens the dragon inside for his plans. It is located in the western part of Unova, just above [[Icirrus City]]. Though it is not known who built it or when it was built, it is the oldest structure in Unova. It is said this is where [[legendary Pokémon]] are created and slumber.

{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}} can be found here after the credits if the player had a full party and PC when prompted to catch them at [[N's Castle]], because players are not forced to catch them under these circumstances.

'''Electabuzz''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレブー''' ''Eleboo'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Elekid}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Electivire}} when [[trade]]d holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Electabuzz is a slightly humanoid and partly feline creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, one of which is shaped like a lightning bolt. It has a long, cat-like tail. The three toes on Electabuzz's feet are arranged like that of a bird's foot, but its hands have a human appearance, with five fingers on each hand.

Electabuzz has two sharp fangs and a pair of antennae. When it is dark out, Electabuzz's entire body gives off a bluish-white glow.

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

====Special abilities====
Electabuzz specialize in using {{t|electric}}al attacks. Electabuzz can also be good with using physical attacks, such as the Elemental Punches, {{m|Brick Break}} and {{m|Mega Punch}}.

===Behavior===
Electabuzz tend to be drawn to electrical sources. That is why many of them can be found in power plants. This is also the reason why during thunderstorms, they compete with each other to reach heights likely to be stricken by lightning bolts.

When two Electabuzz meet, they communicate their feelings by touching and controlling the electric currents.

Also, shown in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Electabuzz hate the color red. When they've seen the color, Electabuzz go on rampages.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Electabuzz normally reside in power plants and can sometimes wander into cities and cause major black-outs. [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]] are the best places to find such Pokémon.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Electabuzz is primarily an ergovore, which means that it feeds off electric currents.

==In the anime==
[[File:Paul Electabuzz.png|thumb|220px|right|Electabuzz in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Paul's Electivire|Paul's Electabuzz]]====
In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]'', Paul's {{p|Elekid}} evolves into Electabuzz in the [[Double battle|Tag Battle]] Competition. In ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' it was revealed that Paul had left his Electabuzz under the care of his brother, [[Reggie]]. It then returned to Paul's team after the events of ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.
It was shown to have evolved into Electivire in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]''.

====Other====
Electabuzz first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. It is the Kas Gym's primary Pokémon and was used in the feuds that the Kas and Yas Gyms were having.

[[Rudy]], the [[Trovita Island]] [[Gym Leader]], used an Electabuzz against [[Ash's Pikachu]] during their Gym Battle in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{oi|Drake}}, the leader of the [[Orange Crew]], used his Electabuzz to fight {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Charizard}}. Drake's Electabuzz defeated {{Ash}}'s Bulbasaur before being defeated by Ash's Charizard.

An Electabuzz was the head of security in a power plant. In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', it attacked Ash and his {{AP|Chikorita}}, seeing them as intruders, but was then captured by [[Team Rocket]].

[[Dr. Namba]] owns an Electabuzz that he used in ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Electabuzz is one of the Electric-type Pokémon that was seen in the lake with crystal in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]''.

[[Macy]] used an Electabuzz in her [[Silver Conference]] battle against Ash in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''.

{{an|Jump}} used an Electabuzz in the first round of the [[Ever Grande Conference]] in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum]]'' but it was defeated by [[Morrison]]'s newly-evolved {{TP|Morrison|Metang}}.

Another Electabuzz appeared in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''.

An Electabuzz appeared in [[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]] under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Backer]].
===Pokédex entries===

===Pokémon Adventures===
Electabuzz debuts in its own round, ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', as the main Pokémon of [[Lt. Surge]]. It is so vicious that even the trainer himself can't keep it in its ball, and its {{m|ThunderPunch}} attack tears through ground floors like wheat. However, though the most that [[Poli]] could do against it was freezing its feet to flee, when it evolved into a {{p|Poliwrath}}, the tables turned, and a {{m|Seismic Toss}} threw them both off the ship.

The same Electabuzz later appears to fight [[Morty]]'s {{p|Misdreavus}}, but while its continuous {{m|Thunder}} attacks did a number, the ghost's {{m|Pain Split}} and {{m|Spite}} left it unable to attack.

==Trivia==
* Electabuzz is one of five Pokémon that initially did not evolve into or from another Pokémon, but now is part of a three-stage evolutionary line (the other four being {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Roselia}}).
* Electabuzz and {{p|Elekid}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Zapdos}}. They are all known as Electric Pokémon.
*{{p|Magmar}} and Electabuzz seem to be counterparts; both evolve in a very similar way (first at level 30, then after being traded holding an "-izer" item), and both are typically exclusive to one version of a pair of games. They also learn all their moves at the same levels, such as Fire Punch and ThunderPunch at Level 28. They even have the same special moves when purified from Pokémon XD: {{m|Follow Me}} and {{m|Cross Chop}}.Their pre-evolutions and evolutions were released in the same generation (Generation II and IV). Additionally, their Japanese names are essentially phonetic reversals of each other.
* Electabuzz is the only member of its family not to have some physical relation to an {{wp|AC power plugs and sockets|AC power unit}}. Elekid's head is shaped like a power plug while Electivire's back patterns look like a power socket.
**In its backsprite, however, Electabuzz has a black line running down it's back which looks like a cord.
*When KO'd in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Electabuzz makes the motion of hanging itself before being recalled to its Poké Ball.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium]], Electabuzz has six fingers on each hand.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzvOueTVBrE YouTube - Pokémon Stadium- Gym Trainer Battle] (retrieved January 14, 2011)</ref>

===Origin===
Electabuzz was likely based on one of the Japanese {{wp|oni (Japanese folklore)|oni}} who was a horned ogre who wore tiger-stripes and was sometimes depicted as a god of lightning and thunder. Its tail looks like that of a {{wp|leopard}}.
====Name origin====
Electabuzz's name seems to be a combination of ''electric'' and ''buzz'', possibly in a reference to the humming sound of electricity. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of ''electric'' and ブンブン ''bunbun'', buzz.

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It evolves from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Emboar is an enormous, bulky, boar-like Fire-type Pokémon. It has short legs, a small tail ending in a tuft of hair and a small dome shaped head with no neck. Its egg shaped torso makes up most of its body. It has two powerful arms, which grow wider towards its fists with tufts of fur on the elbows. Constantly burning flames wreath the front of its neck and shoulders resembling a traditional Chinese center-parted beard. It has a red pig-like nose and large bushy black eyebrows that sweep up at the sides like horns or ears. Two tusks protrude from its lower jaw, jutting out at the corners of its wide mouth. Its forearms begin orange in coloration, with the coloration of the upper and lower arms separated by gold-colored bands. The lower arms and elbows are black, the wrists have bands of dark red coloration, and the hands are tipped with three claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar sports swirled yellow features, and its legs and lower underside are red, although its feet are black-colored, rimmed in a spiky manner with gold, and ending in two-toed claws.

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

===Special abilities===
Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire to launch {{m|Fire Punch}}es. It uses its power and speed to master {{type|Fighting}} moves.

===Behavior===
Emboar cares deeply about its allies.

==Trivia==
* Emboar is the only fully evolved [[Generation V]] [[starter Pokémon]] that has a secondary type.
* Also, the Emboar evolution line is the only starter family with a signature move, {{m|Heat Crash}}.
* Emboar is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is able to learn a damaging {{type|Water}} move, {{m|Scald}}, other than Sunny Form {{p|Castform}} and {{p|Arceus}} holding the Flame Plate.
** This being the case, Emboar is the only starter Pokémon that can learn damaging moves of all three starter types.
* Emboar is the only starter Pokémon that has a different Hidden Ability from its evolutionary relatives.
** Emboar is also the only pig-based Pokémon that cannot have {{a|Thick Fat}} as its ability.
* Emboar has the highest base {{stat|HP}}, base {{stat|Attack}} and single stat of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
** Emboar is tied with {{p|Sceptile}} for the lowest {{stat|Defense}} of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
** Emboar has the lowest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all fully evolved [[starter Pokémon]].
* Although its Pokédex entry states that it uses fire punches to fight, Emboar is unable to learn {{m|Fire Punch|the move}}.
* Emboar is the heaviest fully evolved {{type|Fire}} starter Pokémon.
* Emboar, {{p|Samurott}} and {{p|Serperior}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* The {{p|Tepig}} family is the only Fire-type starter family where no members have English names that start with the letter "C"; or contain it, for that matter.

===Origin===
Emboar is based on the soldier of {{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index5.html</ref> It and its pre-evolutions, as stated by Ken Sugimori, were designed in a Chinese style. Because of its Chinese style, it may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale {{wp|Journey to the West}}. {{p|Infernape}} is also based on another character from the novel, {{wp|Sun Wukong}}, and has a similar design as well as the same typing. It seems to also take inspirations of a {{wp|pig}} or {{wp|boar}} in a {{wp|professional wrestler}}'s or possibly a {{wp|lucha libre}}'s attire. The swirled pattern that surrounds its abdomen is visually similar to the patterns on {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

====Name origin====
"Emboar" is derived from ''ember'' and ''boar''. "Enbuoh" may have the same origin, or it may also be derived from the words 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig) or 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), and 王 ''ō'' (king).

{{forums notice|March 31, 2011}}

Serebii and Pokébeach are '''NOT OFFICIAL SOURCES'''. The webmasters themselves say their information is not confirmed and should not be taken as fact. The games are about to be released in a week, please be wary of all new information, rumors, and speculation that have unconfirmed or unofficial sources. This goes for all fansites. Bulbanews is also not an official source, but we will post all information '''with sources''' to their respective official location. Thanks for understanding.

==Any References?==
With the impending release of [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]] in America, can someone keep an eye out for any in-game references to Gen. V? Much appreciated. [[User:The Jigglypuff Ninja|The Jigglypuff Ninja]] 01:04, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:I doubt there are any references to Gen V in HGSS. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 01:09, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Any references will probably be in the new Ranger game. Although the Lock Capsule is probably related to something in Generation V.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 01:11, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::::At the risk of dragging this out too far (this is quickly becoming something that'd fit on the forums), hackers would have found a Celebi Event in the coding, but no one has. Add in that PokeBeach reports that it seems to have similar transfer data as the Manaphy Egg, and it seems like it's supposed to be transferred out of HGSS into a new game... but I digress. We have no proof either way.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 05:03, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

==Jumping the Gun a bit?==
Are you guys sure we aren't looking into this a bit too far? All we have for clues are that they announced a new game and a new *something*. Not to mention it says it's gonna be new on the DS. What's to be sure of all of that? For all we know, the new game could be MindCrystal, the silhouette could be a new Forme like the last 5 that were announced. The new game could be a wii sequel to Pokemon XD:Gale of Darkness. If we can't even have Pokemon evolved editing pages when they're in the titles of episodes, why can we just up and announce a new generation? I mean, Pokebeach even said the silhouette isn't Z, what makes anyone certain it's Generation V?[[User:SLE_aman|SLE_]][[User:SLE_aman/talk|aman]] 11:53, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:What does Pokebeach have to do with anything? We know this is Gen V because Masuda SAID it is a new Pokémon. Nothing in this article says that this Pokémon is Z. Because we don't know that. All we know is that it is a new Pokémon. To think otherwise... well, you're in denial big time. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 12:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
::The original announcement talked about the popularity of Diamond and Pearl before saying this game will be set in a new region with new Pokémon. What more evidence do you need? --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 12:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

:::Well, technically, the RPG announcement never explicitly said it would be main series. Even though Generation V Pokémon were hinted, it was never explicitly said that it was the full-fledged generation. It also never explicitly said it would be a pair, either. There are RPGs other than the main series, and they could use a side-series RPG to give Generation V-based cameos to increase anticipation for the full-fledged generation to come at a later date (much like Mystery Dungeon 1 did). Recent announcements pretty much excludes the possibility of it being a Ranger 4, but it's still possible that it could be a Mystery Dungeon 5 or something completely different than anything we've seen before. My [[$1|2¢]]: Odds are the TBA 2010 thing is not for the full-fledged Generation V. Especially if the RPG announcement turns out to be for a single. They've faked us out before, and even if the silhouette does turn out legitimate, it's probably still too early to be thinking full-fledged Generation V. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:19, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

::::Actually, I've seen a subb'ed version. Masuda specifically said "We're working on a new generation of pokémon" --[[User:Camzoman]]
::::Yeah. And nowhere in that did it explicitly say that was the TBA 2010 project. They can be working on a new generation of Pokémon, yet still announce and release side games relating mainly to the previous generation. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:34, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
:::::Camzoman, where exactly did you see this subbed version? I did not hear Masuda mention a "new generation" anywhere in the video - what he said was "we're developing a brand-new work for Pokemon." However, I don't think there's any denying at this point that it is indeed the new generation. The [http://www.corocoro.tv/pokerelease/index.html Corocoro site] doesn't seem to be implying that this is a side game (not that Game Freak makes side games to begin with). It's a new version(s), with a new setting, new Pokemon, new features... sounds like a new generation to me. :/ [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 19:54, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

== Generation V Pokémon Infobox, anyone? ==

I know you'll probably all find this pointless, but I decided to throw together a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenV|temporary infobox]] to use for the Generation V Pokémon articles. It's basically a stripped-down version of the regular infobox that leaves out all the fields for any technical stuff (Egg groups, EXP yield, Gender ratios, etc.) that's unlikely to be revealed until ''Pokémon V'' comes out later this year. I also created a [[User:Quagbert/Z (Pokémon)|user-subpage for the silhouetted mystery Pokémon]] that uses a [[Template:PokémonInfoboxGenVNoncat|non-categorizing version]] of this template.

Alright, these two Pokémon have been offically confirmed by the leaked CoroCoro scans, but apparently it's still considered too early to put up the Bulbapedia articles for them. Is there some additional form of conformation that we're waiting for?

Anyway, I already have {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} in my userspace ready to be moved to the main space when we're finally allowed to do so. [[User:Quagbert|Quagbert]] 17:07, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

::IIRC, none of that sort of information (especially base stats) was revealed for the Generation IV Pokémon until the actual release of Diamond/Pearl, or shortly before, though we still had mainspace articles for them anyway.

== Related Pokémon ==

On the page, it says that it has noteable links with the Riolu and Poochyena families. If it's definitely pure dark type then just ignore this, but couldn't it be an alternative to the Vulpix family? --[[User:Herachu|Herachu]] 22:07, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

== New Pokémon template ==

Based partly on the {{template|DP episode}} template, I've decided to make a [[Template:NewPokémon|new Pokémon template]] to use the next time a new Pokémon is revealed. The code would go like this:
<pre>
{{subst:NewPokémon|main|Jp. Katakana name|Romanized Jp. name|
typen= (number of types) |
type1= (first type) |
type2= (second type) |
pron= (name's pronunciation) |
jspecies= (species in Japanese) |
species= (species, aka "____ Pokémon")
image= (filename of image) |
caption= (caption for said image) |
height-m= (height in meters) |
weight-kg= (weight in kilograms) |
prev= (previous Pokémon's (i.e. pre-evolution) name, Arceus by default) |
prevnum= (previous Pokémon's National Dex #, 493 by default) |
next= (next Pokémon's (i.e. evolved form) name, Bulbasaur by default) |
nextnum= (next Pokémon's National Dex #, 001 by default) |
}}
</pre>

It says that it is unknown whether the new games will be contemporaneous with any of the other games. I beg to differ. Pokemon Sunday officially stated that Zoroark lives in a "New Area". Or is it just saying that it is unknown whether it will be possible to travel to another region? Spenfen

Here's the image from Pokémon Sunday: [[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 01:49, 9 May 2010 (UTC) [[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|right]]

I can guess that the Grass Type is a Bird of Parodise Pokemon, as in the plant 'Bird of Parodise,' and also they had already done Bird based starters for [[Torchic|Fire]] and [[Piplup|Water]], and not yet Grass. If this could be true when revealed, then it will certainly complete the Bird Starters just like the Lizard Starters of [[Treeko|Grass]],[[Charmander|Fire]] and [[Totodile|Water]].
The Fire Type could may as well be a piglet for it's curley tail, and the Water Type could be another Amphibian Pokemon like [[Mudkip]]. These are just guesses, but what do you think? [[User:Cynthia149]] 17:07, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

isnt lupine for wolves Iirc ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:27, 12 May 2010 (UTC))
: Dogs are in the same family as wolves. Canis Lupus, the dog is only further distinguished by Canis Lupis familiaris. But even still Canine could refer to Canidae which is what Foxes/Dogs/wolves are in. The only difference is Foxes are further classified as "Vulpine" and if we follow suit, dogs/wolves would be Lupine not Canine. And it did say some foxes (while not true foxes) could still be under the Canis Genus if that's where the Canine name comes from. But again while Canine might refer to dogs specifically, isn't that more of a general consensus, rather than a scientific consensus? I'm going scientific here, if people want to be so correct with the whole Vulpine/Canine argument. -[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 19:36, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

== On the use of unconfirmed information ==

<strike>We seem to have taken a whole bunch of unconfirmed information as fact here, and as it's generally not Bulbapedia policy to do so, it somewhat bothers me.

For the record, here is a list of information, much of which has been added to Bulbapedia, that I have not seen in the CoroCoro pages or any other official source (though if you have official sources with this that I have missed, please, by all means, link me):
*The name "Tsutaaja," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Grass-type
*The name "Pokabu," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Fire-type
*The name "Mijumaru," as well as all info on it beyond the fact that it is at least partly Water-type
*"Hiun City"
*Zoroark's ability, "Illusion"
*Those two new attacks whose names I can't be bothered to remember right now (Trickery and Claw Sharpen or something?)
*The method by which to obtain Zoroark
I have seen ''none'' of this come from official sources, only from fansites, blogs, and forums. (Hell, I could have sworn that I saw some of this in a 2ch speculation thread back in March.) The justification to their validity seems to be that the random anonymous person who posted this information on 2ch was right about other information before it was leaked, so he must be right now - but that reasoning hasn't been enough in past cases, has it?

I really wish we had kept the above-mentioned facts off of Bulbapedia until they were confirmed, but here they are. I personally think they should be removed (and the starters' pages moved into TTE's userspace or something) until they are confirmed, but a reasonable compromise, I think, would be to tag all articles that mention this information with an "unconfirmed" tag of some sort (I seem to remember a template for one, though I can't find it now...).

:::Yes, according to the new Iwata Asks[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index.html#list] there is going to be both a hiragana mode and a kanji mode. I suggest changing "''Kanji are now used in game menus and text, in addition to the hiragana and katakana used in the previous four generations.''" to something like "''Aside from the usual game menus and text in {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}}, there is now also the option of a {{wp|kanji}} mode. While hiragana and katakana made the Pokémon series accessible to elementary school kids, the optional texts mixed with kanji now also make the games easier to pick up for older teens and adults.''" As opposed to the present version, this makes clear that there is the '''option''' of kanji, and explains the effects of the new kanji mode to those unknown to the Japanese writing system. --[[User:BlackySully|BlackySully]] 12:46, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Named after colors ==

Trivia mentions that black and white are colors, technically they're not colors. I think it should be reworded to say that the titles were the first since Generation I (or II, since gold and silver can be colors) to not be named after a gemstone or a mineral. [[User:Mudkipchan|Mudkipchan]] 18:41, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
:Technically, they '''are''' colors. Technically, they are not hues - they are shades. This terminology is used in most artistic endeavors, except lighting, where white and black are the presence or absence of light, but that's neither here nor there. These are colors.

Wow, this is totally random and pointless, but I wanted to point out that the thing about these being the first games named after colours since G1 is inaccurate. All the games have been based off of colours, however, those colours also tend to be other things (metals and gems, etc.). For example, silver is a colour, gold is a colour, ruby is bright red, as it's counterparts sapphire and emerald to blue and green respectively, and so forth. I just think that it's kinda pointless to put that information int he trivia when it's not exactly true. But feel free to debate with me, I'm open for people trying to change my mind. :D

== The fan name is wrong ==

The page says they call it the "monochrome generation".I am an Art Major at Lord Fairfax Community College,and that name makes no sense.Monochrome "only 1 color".There are 2 versions,and also black and white are not colors.They are refered to as neutrals in art(which is the only side that has an argument in color).Also,black is the abscense of color,and white is the combination of all percieved color.That name is completely inaccurate,and should be removed from the article because it does not really relate. {{unsigned|Slyver333}}
:According to Wikipedia's article on {{wp|Monochrome}}, "For an image, the term monochrome is usually taken to mean the same as black-and-white or, more likely, grayscale..." Therefore monochrome is not incorrect here. Also, if it's here, it probably means it was used on some Japanese fansite--just because it's not "right" in art, doesn't mean it can't be used as a fan term. --[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 02:24, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
::Plus, black and white ARE colors - they aren't hues, but they are colors. In art terms, they are technically called shades and tints, respectively. Black is a shade of any color, and white is a tint of any color. As long as you're not talking about light, that makes them both colors. (When discussing colors of light, it is acceptable to refer to white as a combination of all frequencies, and black as the absence of all frequencies, but we're not in optics.) I don't know what you're art teachers are telling you, Slyver, but I'd double check your facts before trying to correct people. Different schools of thought use different terminology, and although I've never heard of the terms you use, I know the ones I learned are widely accepted. Long story short, monochrome is an acceptable term for this generation. (Monochrome can also refer to any range of shades, tints, and tones that have a single hue as their base.)

== Anthing for Trivia? ==

1.I think that with the information we have so far, we should be able to come up with some stuff for the section, at least for when it becomes editable to regular users. I noticed that this is the first Generation to not have a game where you (presumably) can't go to the Kanto region (as in Generation III, there are the Gen. I remakes, Generation IV has HeartGold and SoulSilver, where you can visit Kanto after beating the Elite Four).

2. I was wondering if anyone thinks they may make a Ruby/Sapphire remake, because Gen. III wasn't that much less advanced in terms of graphics and mechanics, so making a remake would be somewhat pointless, as you could just as easily buy the original, and considering they would have to put a lot of work into making a game that would be more or less the same in most ways(you can tell the added material in LG/FR and HG/SS is obviously needed or at least very different).

3. The new Japanese commercials for Black & White reveal another new team (as expected) and what looks like some sort of conversation thing where you get an up close look who you're talking to. Any comments?

i know there isn't an official timescale between BW and HGSS/DPPt (as HGSS/DPPt is 3 years ahead of FRLG and Ruby/Sapphire) but the page states that there must be a significant difference because the Rocket grunt who was seen in HGSS now has a son, however, Cynthia (DPPt) and Looker (Pt) are NPC's in Black and White too and don't appear to have aged much or at all (in comparison to Misty between FRLG and HGSS), so could it be possible that the grunt already had a son who grew up to be a Schoolboy trainer in a timespace of less than 3 years or slightly more? couldn't this mean that the time between HGSS and BW could be shorter than implied on the page? [[User:Azure42|Azure42]] 15:32, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
:Cynthia and Looker are much older, so they age much less. The older Gym leaders from FRLG didn't change that much in HGSS. Misty was going through puberty, so her aging would be much clearer. Regardless, I believe that that Rocket Grunt said that he met his wife soon after returning home, meaning that his son was not born in HGSS. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:39, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
::It's highly likely to be 11 years - GSC was three years after RGB, RGB were released in 1996, with GS exactly three years later. BW were released 11 years after GS, and since RS happens at the same time as RGB and DP happens at the same time as GS, for the remakes' sake.

:::Yes but Caitin is already young in Platinum-HGSS. Maybe she is in her 20s or her early 30s. Yet, in Black and White she still appears to be young (maybe in her late 30s). So an eleven year gap seems to be too big.

== Debut ==
I noticed on the "Debut" part of the page it says "March 6 2011" - the U.S. release date. As it's under the "En" tag (obviously for "English") and the European release is 4th March 2011, should that be changed to reflect the EU release date? Although the majority of the fandom are American, it is the English premiere, or a third option be added? {{unsigned|Ryu Shoji}}

== New standards ==

I find some odd matches for gen I-V. Timburr, Dangoro and Woobat share traits with machop, geodude and zubat.
What if Gen V acts Like a new Gen I, that will provide Gen VI and up with reccuring pokemons (Magicarp, Geodude, Abra, Machop and Pikachu (and probably others) appears in all Generations I to IV) that will be "standards" for the next games?
Gen III seemed like a reboot for fans, maybe they tried then, and now they made it here.Maybe... [[User:Grhaal|Grhaal]] 01:49, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia-new system ==

This is the second time (not the first) that a new generation of pokemon didnt start on a new system, while gold and silver had exclusive features when played on the GBC (playing in color), they were still playable on GB and GB pocket (cyrstal was the first game that required the GBC). Just as this duo of games can be played on DS, but when played on DSi or 3DS, these games also have exclusive features (the Xtransceiver only works on DSi and 3DS, but NOT on original DS/DS lite systems)

To say its the first time not to move to the next console at launch is misleading and untrue.

ShinyPikachu: Five not Four

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

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

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

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

It can be assumed that the games will be released initially as a pair, with a [[third version]] following several years later. The third version will expand on the plot. [[Remake]]s of previous games may follow.

Just as Red and Blue were remade in Generation III, and Gold and Silver in Generation IV, it is possible that Ruby and Sapphire will be remade in Generation V.

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

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

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

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

Before the release of Generations II, III, IV, and V, new Pokémon have been used to promote the new games through the anime. {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Kecleon}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, {{p|Munchlax}}, {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{p|Zorua}} are a few of the Pokémon that debuted before their generation.
===Characters===
The first five generations have introduced some stock characters. Two [[player character]] options (one male, one female) live in a small town with their [[mom|mother]]. A previously unknown Pokémon professor, named for a type of tree, will set the player's journey in motion. Eight [[Gym Leader]]s stand in the player's way to the [[Elite Four]], as does the player's [[rival]](s).

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

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

===Speculation against future generations===
Naturally, there are fans who do not see future generations as a possibility.

It remains unknown whether there will be a sixth generation to come in later years.

'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters HeartGold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters SoulSilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] [[remake]]s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver retell the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. While the games feature several expansions in key areas, the overall plot follows the same direction as the original {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Some aspects exclusive to {{v2|Crystal}} are also included. Like FireRed and LeafGreen could link up with {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} to complete the Pokédex by trading regionally exclusive Pokémon, HeartGold and SoulSilver can link up with {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to obtain Pokémon unavailable in Johto and Kanto, such as [[Starter Pokémon#Sinnoh|the Sinnoh starters]].

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of {{ga|Ethan|Crystal's player character}}, is not included as the female player character, with a {{ga|Lyra|new character}} instead taking her place. Whether she is chosen to be the [[player character]] or not, this new character will still appear in the game. The unselected protagonist will take a pseudo-[[rival]] role similar to the unselected characters of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

The games were released on September 12, 2009 in Japan, February 4, 2010 in Korea, March 14, 2010 in North America, March 25, 2010 in Australia and March 26, 2010 in Europe (this excludes {{pmin|the Netherlands}}, Luxembourg and parts of Belgium due to an in-game save error, with the patched copies later released on April 2, 2010).

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The male [[player character]] receives a redesign and is now called {{ga|Ethan}}, while {{ga|Kris}} is replaced by a new female player character called {{ga|Lyra}}.
* All the game's music is rearranged to better utilize the DS's sound capabilities. A [[GB Sounds|key item]] allows the player to switch back and forth freely between the arranged soundtrack and original chiptune soundtrack.
* Ambient sound effects are used with greater frequency than in previous games; for example, running water, blowing wind and the player walking through grass will produce audible noises.
* The [[Pokégear]] has been redesigned. There are a range of skins that can be used and changed at the player's will.
[[File:HGSSpokedex.png|thumb|left|150px|Redesigned Pokédex]]
* Much like Kanto's was for its remakes, Johto's Pokédex has been redesigned. Unlike Kanto's remakes, which contained the same [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|regional Pokédex]] as the originals, [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|the original regional Pokédex]] for Johto has been [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|slightly altered]], including several [[Generation IV]] evolutions for Pokémon found in Johto.
* An image of certain locations, like in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location. Some of these images change depending on the time of day while others change the image of the Pokémon obtainable at the location on the image at random.
* {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s are redesigned once again. Team Rocket's [[Executive]]s are also redesigned from Generation II, with four new ones appearing: [[Archer]], [[Arianna]], [[Petrel]], and [[Proton]]. Like [[Team Galactic]]'s [[Commander]]s followed a planetary naming scheme, the Executives are all named for various real-world rockets.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} each have their own unique battle music, while the [[legendary beasts]] each use differently remixed versions of their battle theme from {{game|Crystal}}.
* All former {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} trees have become [[Apricorn]] trees.
* [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, {{ga|Silver}}, and {{ga|Red}} have animated battle sprites and battle intros, as in {{v2|Platinum}}. Many [[Gym]]s have been redesigned as well, some with new puzzles.
* {{m|Rock Smash}}, previously a TM usable on the field in the originals, is now a full-fledged HM as it has been since [[Generation III]]. {{m|Defog}} loses its HM status to the returning {{m|Whirlpool}}.
* {{m|Rock Climb}}, despite it not being available prior to [[Generation IV]], continues to be [[HM08]] and requires the [[Viridian Gym]] badge. As a result, several caves and cliffs have markings which allow them to be scaled like in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* The [[Magnet Train]]'s tracks can be seen overhead on {{rt|32|Johto}}, as well as in [[Goldenrod City]] where the tracks were previously on street-level.
* [[Pal Park]] is located where the closed [[Kanto Safari Zone]] once stood in [[Fuchsia City]].
* The player can now see how many Kanto badges they have. In the original games, the player could only see how many Johto badges they had.
* [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]], while sharing a theme in Generation II, now feature separate remixed variations of the same theme.
* Some music in Kanto is changed, with [[Mt. Moon]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] changing their music to that which is used by of Johto's [[Union Cave]] and [[Ice Path]], respectively. Music in Cerulean City and Fuchsia City, as well as on [[Route]]s {{rtn|24|Kanto}} and {{rtn|25|Kanto}}, rather than taking the theme used in Pewter City, Celadon City, and on {{rt|3|Kanto}} as they did in the original Generation II games, keep the theme used in Generation I and Generation III. The music used on {{rt|2|Kanto}}, however, is different from any previous generation; the Generation II theme, a remix of the Viridian Forest theme in Generation I, is used solely in Viridian Forest, while the theme used in Generation I and Generation III is, like in Generation II, only used on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Route 2 instead uses the theme that first appears on {{rt|3|Kanto}}. [[Cinnabar Island]] also gets its own music, a remix of its original theme, instead of using the Saffron City theme.
* The Goldenrod City Radio Tower has an observation deck accessible via elevator. This replaces the second recording room.
* There are wind turbines standing in New Bark Town and on Route 14.
* When viewing the [[stats]] of a Pokémon outside of battle, one of the stat names will be very light blue, indicating which stat is decreased by the Pokémon's [[nature]], and one will be very light red, indicating which stat is increased. If the Pokémon has a neutral nature, none of the stats will be colored.

===Location changes===
[[File:HGSS JohtoKanto.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Johto]] and [[Kanto]], the accessible regions in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level, where [[Professor Elm|the professor]] and his family live, his old house being occupied by Lyra/Ethan and her/his family.
* The {{jo|Battle Tower}} west of [[Olivine City]], introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, returns, bringing with it the exact same {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} seen in Platinum.
* Two new routes, {{rt|47|Johto}} and {{rt|48|Johto}}, are introduced near [[Cianwood City]]. They lead to a new [[Johto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]], as well as the [[Embedded Tower]] and the [[Cliff Cave]].
* [[Mt. Silver]] is much bigger and [[Viridian Forest]] is not cut down.
* [[Cerulean Cave]] and the [[Seafoam Islands]] remain as they were in Generation III (though [[Blaine]] still takes part of the Seafoam Islands), allowing the [[legendary Pokémon]] that live inside them to be battled. {{p|Moltres}}, formerly found in {{ka|Victory Road}} and [[Mt. Ember]], can be found in Mt. Silver.
* The [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] takes a role similar to Sinnoh's [[Battleground]], where the rematches between the player and Gym Leaders take place.
* [[Union Cave]]'s ladder from 1F to B1F has been shifted north (now closer to the north entrance). There are also many minor changes to B1F.

===Gameplay changes===
* All 493 Pokémon are capable of [[walking Pokémon|following players]] similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] is also retained. The player can interact with their Pokémon by pressing 'A', and can see how their Pokémon is feeling at the moment. In battle, like Yellow's Pikachu, they are sent out from the side of the screen, rather than from a Poké Ball, unless in certain situations, such as while riding the [[bicycle]], surfing, or going indoors with a large Pokémon.
* A new series of events precede encountering the [[version mascot]]s in both versions, and thus it is mandatory for the player to engage in battle with the version mascot in order to continue with the game and proceed to the [[Pokémon League]], similar to the plots of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. In the originals, it was completely optional to encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The five [[Kimono Girl]]s from [[Ecruteak City#Kimono Dance Theatre|the dance theatre]] in [[Ecruteak City]] now have a significant role in the game. During the player's adventure, he/she can meet each Kimono Girl at different points of the game where they will ask the player to do them a small favor. After receiving the [[Master Ball]] from [[Professor Elm]] and before meeting the [[version mascot]], each Kimono Girl tests the player with a battle. Once all five are defeated, they proceed to the [[Bell Tower]] (in HeartGold) and [[Whirl Islands]] (in SoulSilver) where they will perform a dance to summon {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}, respectively.
** As these events were not part of the plot of the originals, the Kimono Girls were to be battled earlier on in the game at the Ecruteak Dance Theatre in order to earn {{HM|03|Surf}} from a man once all five were defeated. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, a mischievous [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} inside the theatre needs to be battled instead.
* [[Kurt]] and [[Apricorn]]s make a return to the series along with the respective [[Poké Ball]]s. Apricorns are now carried by the player in a new item, the [[Apricorn Case]]. As in {{v2|Crystal}}, Kurt can be given multiples of the same color Apricorn at once in order to make multiple Poké Balls.
* While the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}} only allow permission to climb the [[Bell Tower]] and enter Lugia's cave in the [[Whirl Islands]], respectively, the player cannot encounter their version's respective mascot until they obtain the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Clear Bell}} in HeartGold and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Tidal Bell}} in SoulSilver. Since the Tidal Bell cannot be obtained in HeartGold and the Clear Bell cannot be obtained in SoulSilver, those items are not required in those versions to encounter the opposite mascot.
* Unlike [[Generation II]], new tasks are put in to complete that are now required to progress the story forward, such as obtaining the [[Pokégear|Radio Card]] for the Pokégear to be able to challenge [[Whitney]], and the Kimono Girls and version mascot event must be completed to challenge the Elite Four.
* The [[RageCandyBar]] is now a [[key item]]. This is likely to prevent the player from trading it to {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, which does not have any item data for it.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] unlocks an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]], where the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]] can be obtained.
* The [[Pokémon storage system]], [[bag]], [[party]] interface, and the screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games all use the Nintendo DS's touch screen.
* [[Legendary Pokémon]] from other regions can be caught in the games. [[Hoenn]]'s legendaries, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, return in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, after Red has been defeated, and {{p|Rayquaza}} can be caught in both games if a Groudon from SoulSilver and a Kyogre from HeartGold are shown to Professor Oak. {{p|Latias}} (in HeartGold) or {{p|Latios}} (in SoulSilver) can be found roaming in [[Kanto]] later in the game after speaking to [[Steven Stone]]. The [[legendary birds]] can also be found in certain locations in Kanto while {{p|Mewtwo}} can be found at [[Cerulean Cave]].
* [[Cynthia]] makes an appearance in an event involving {{p|Arceus}}. This takes place in an area accessed from the [[Ruins of Alph]] that is far to the north, named the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. This event allows players to obtain either {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} at level 1. The only way to obtain the [[Griseous Orb]] and Origin Forme Giratina in this game is to choose Giratina during this event.
* The [[Enigma Stone]] is an event key item that features a use similar to that of the [[Eon Ticket]]. It can allow other Eon Pokémon to be encountered (i.e. Latios in HeartGold and Latias in SoulSilver, respectively).
* {{m|Headbutt}}ing trees to locate certain Pokémon makes its return. However, this time it can also be used to collect Pokémon from [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] after the [[National Pokédex]] is acquired.
* The {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} can be obtained in the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] by bringing any [[fateful encounter]] {{p|Shaymin}} to show them.
* [[Eusine]], a major character from {{game|Crystal}} who was not in the original Gold and Silver, appears, as do other aspects originally featured in Crystal.
* A new sidequest, the [[Pokéathlon]], features ten mini-games that pit Pokémon in athletic competitions. Its system appears to be analogous to that of {{pkmn|Contests}} from previous games.
[[Image:Pokewalker.png|thumb|right|150px|The Pokéwalker]]
* Like the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|GBA Wireless Adapter]] that came with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a bonus is included with the purchase of HeartGold and SoulSilver: a [[Poké Ball]]-shaped {{wp|pedometer}} called the [[Pokéwalker]] that has the capacity to link to the two games and hold a Pokémon. Storing a Pokémon in this manner increases its [[experience]] and [[happiness]] as the wearer walks. Other Pokémon can be captured in exclusive Pokéwalker-only areas and then transferred to the main game.
* [[Apricorn]]s are now the only items collected from plants on the field. [[Berry|Berries]] are instead collected from [[Juggler]]s in [[Violet City]] and [[Fuchsia City]] in exchange for [[shard]]s, through the [[Pokéwalker]]'s Dowsing function, hidden on the ground, or from the deliveryman in [[Poké Mart]]s sent by the player's [[mom]] (if the player allows their mom to save money). Because only a few berries cannot be collected in these games, they must by traded over from other versions, similar to that of FireRed and LeafGreen. Though they cannot be grown on the ground like in [[Hoenn]] or [[Sinnoh]], they can be grown portably using the [[Berry Pots]], where the [[Squirtbottle]] is controlled via the touch screen to water four berries at a time.
* Using the [[Apriblender]], Apricorns can now also be mixed into drinks that increase a Pokémon's Pokéathlon stats by putting Apricorns in the blender and walking around.
* The [[Running Shoes]] are obtained in [[Cherrygrove City]] and can be permanently selected using the touchscreen [[menu]]. The selected item (from pressing Y or SELECT in previous games) is also on the touchscreen. Two items can be selected as opposed to just one.
* Due to the absence of the [[Vs. Seeker]], the [[Pokégear]] reintroduces an improved cell phone feature with a limitless call list. However, [[rematch|re-battling]] Trainers is now dependent on the day and time.
* Passing certain parts in the game can also affect the rematches by improving the team of the trainers that can be re-battled. By defeating the Elite Four and then after collecting the 16 badges the Pokémon team of that trainer are fought at higher levels as long as each rematch phase has been fought at least once.
* [[Starter Pokémon]] from Kanto and Hoenn can be collected from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]], respectively, as appreciation for defeating Red.
* [[Photography|Commemorative photos]] can now be taken around Johto and Kanto with the player's partner Pokémon, team, [[Gym Leader]]s, and certain notable citizens.
* An {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive {{p|Celebi}} unlocks an encounter with former [[Team Rocket]] boss and Viridian Gym Leader [[Giovanni]]. Giovanni was mentioned repeatedly in the original Gold and Silver, but did not appear.
* Many Pokémon have acquired the ability to learn new moves and expand and improve their movesets; for example, {{p|Togepi}} can now learn {{m|Extrasensory}} through breeding.
* The [[GB Sounds]], a key item obtained after all 16 badges have been obtained, allows players to swap the background music for the soundtrack from the original Gold and Silver, redone. New music tracks, such as the music that plays on Routes 47 and 48, also receive an 8-bit remix. However, not every track got an 8-bit remix and some can only be listened through the [[Pokémon Past Archive]] radio station in the Pokégear.
* When using the move {{m|Whirlpool}} outside of battle, instead of the whirlpool disappearing like in [[Generation II]], the player will simply surf over the whirlpools.
* Specific [[individual values]] may be passed down through {{pkmn|breeding}} depending on the [[EV-enhancing item]] that is held.
* The Trainers that appear in Viridian City's [[Trainer House]] are now influenced by communication through two Pokéwalkers as opposed to the previous method of Mystery Gifting with the Game Boy Color's infrared port due to it being available from the start.
* During the player's initial battle with the rival, he is known as Passerby Boy, unlike in Gold and Silver, where he was identified as ???. Players are still required to name him later.
* The man in Ilex Forest, who previously gave out the TM for {{m|Headbutt}} in Generation II has become a [[move tutor]] for that move. This is due to the fact that Headbutt is no longer a TM. Unlike other move tutors, he does not require anything from the player to tutor the move, and will do it as many times as the player would like.
* Similar to [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]], the [[legendary beasts]] can be caught from the moment the player sees them fleeing in the [[Burned Tower]], with the exception of {{p|Suicune}} who can only be encountered in battle at {{rt|25|Kanto}}, instead of at the [[Bell Tower]]. Suicune can be seen running around in certain locations across Johto, as well as and Kanto.
*The map in the [[Pokégear]] has the same function as the {{DL|Pokétch|Marking Map}} for the Pokétch in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} to track [[roaming Pokémon]]. Additionally the player does not need to face {{p|Raikou}} or {{p|Entei}} (as well as {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}) in battle first to be able to track them.
*Trainers in [[Kanto]] will now give out their Pokégear numbers, whereas only Trainers on Routes 26 and 27 would do so in the original games.
*In the original Gold and Silver, the real Janine was in the lower left corner of the Gym, while one of her Gym trainers was in the middle, where the Leader should be. This isn't the case in HeartGold and SoulSilver, where Janine was moved to the middle.
* It is now possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]]. It is also now possible to Fly between Indigo Plateau or the Reception Gate and any location in either Kanto or Johto. Curiously, however, it's not possible to Fly to the [[Pokémon Center]]s in [[Kanto Route 4|Routes 4]] and {{rtn|10|Kanto}}, whereas it was possible in FireRed and LeafGreen, but not in the original Gold and Silver.
* The clock reset interface from the original Pokémon Gold and Silver was removed, as was the case with {{game|Crystal}}. In its replacement is a microphone test interface which can be accessed via the button combination X,Y and Down on the title screen; though this feature, unlike the clock reset interface has been officially mentioned by Nintendo via the game instruction booklet.
* Any special Pokémon, like {{p|Sudowoodo}}, can respawn to their specific location after the player defeats the [[Elite Four]] at any time, that is, if the Pokémon are first defeated.

==Pokémon==
As in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the primary Pokémon of the remakes are native to the Johto and Kanto regions. Due to advances in gameplay since the second generation, the regional Pokédex used in Gold and Silver (the [[List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number|New Pokédex]]) has been updated to include those Pokémon which [[evolution|evolve]] upon learning a new [[move]]. Rather than simply excluding these evolutions (as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} did with [[happiness]]-based evolutions), an improved [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] was established with 256 Pokémon: five more than the New Pokédex.

Similarly to other recently released Pokémon games, Pokémon from outside the regional Pokédex can be captured after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and earning the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]]. Pokémon native to Sinnoh and Hoenn can be found in various methods. [[Mass Outbreak|Swarms]] of Pokémon sometimes break out across the Johto and Kanto regions; oftentimes these are not native to either of the regions. Pokémon from other regions can be located by playing one of two special stations on the [[Pokégear]]'s radio function. There is a channel for Sinnoh Pokémon which plays only on Thursdays; the Hoenn channel only plays on Wednesdays. By having either of these programs turned on when in [[tall grass]] the chance of finding a foreign Pokémon increases. The [[Bug Catching Contest]] also hosts, from time to time, Hoenn and Sinnoh Pokémon. They will only appear on Thursdays and Saturdays. The [[Johto Safari Zone]]'s customization option also allows for the finding of Pokémon from other regions.

In an apparent attempt to remove reliance on [[Generation III]] cartridges, [[starter Pokémon]] of Kanto and Hoenn can be obtained late in the game from [[Professor Oak]] and [[Steven Stone]] respectively. Some [[legendary Pokémon]] which were not included in the [[Generation II]] games, such as Kanto's [[legendary birds]] and {{p|Mewtwo}}, are also available.

As in all [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, there are a number of Pokémon which can be found in [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|one of the paired games, but not the other]]. A list of these Pokémon follows below.

==Trivia==
* Several figures were given away with pre-orders. People could receive a {{p|Ho-Oh}} figure by pre-ordering HeartGold, a {{p|Lugia}} figure by pre-ordering SoulSilver, and an {{p|Arceus}} figure by pre-ordering the Japanese versions of both HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* These games mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}}.
** The games were also released in Japan almost exactly one year after the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, and exactly eleven years after {{game|Yellow}}, the first game to feature walking Pokémon.
* Unlike how {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} used completely different Trainer sprites from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, many [[Trainer class]]es shared between regions, like Hikers and Psychics, keep their {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} sprites in battle.
* The font used for the English titles of these games are different than the font that has been used since {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, while the Japanese logos are still in the same style used since those games. FireRed and LeafGreen also used a different font than the Hoenn games, however, it was still the same color.
** Additionally, the Ho-Oh crest shaped like a heart and Lugia soul are used in the English logos, while the fire and leaf that appear on FireRed and LeafGreen's Japanese logos were not used in the English release.
* These games mark the first time that the English versions were announced before the games themselves came out in Japan.
* Because of [[HM05]]'s conversion from {{m|Defog}} to {{m|Whirlpool}}, these games are the only games in which all available HMs teach damaging moves (both Defog and Flash, contained in HM05, prevented this in previous games).
* These are the first games in which major characters offer their Pokémon for a trade with the player, with [[Gym Leader]]s [[Brock]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Jasmine]], and [[Hoenn]]'s former Champion [[Steven Stone]] offering Pokémon of their specialty type in exchange for another.
** These are the first games in which an in-game trade accepts a Pokémon of any kind, with Jasmine accepting such in exchange for her Steelix.
* Unlike how {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}'s intro was an updated version of the opening from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, HeartGold and SoulSilver have an entirely new intro, using none of the footage from the intro of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. The intro however, uses some music that was in the original and the title screen displays 3D renders of Ho-Oh and Lugia in movement similar to the original title screens.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver include the {{pkmn|Champion}}s from each of the paired versions: {{ga|Blue}} from {{2v2|Red|Green}}, [[Lance]] from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, [[Steven Stone]] from {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, and [[Cynthia]] from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* The credits of HeartGold and SoulSilver are the first to feature [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members and [[villainous teams|villainous team]] members.
* There's a minor quirk involving the Poké Mart signs, in which they are sometimes shown to be placed ''on'' the roots of trees, making it appear as if it was built there.
* Another minor quirk is that the player will sometimes seem to be standing in the same spot as large Pokémon such as {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}.
* The Pokédex entries for the Pokémon that existed in Gold and Silver are carried on over to HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively, much as how FireRed used the entries from the Japanese Red and Green while LeafGreen used the entries from Blue.
* These titles are the first Pokémon games to be available domestically in {{pmin|Canada}} in French, other than just in English.
** Similarly, these titles are the second set of Pokémon games (after the original ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]'') to be released in Latin America in Spanish.
* In the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, Phanpy and Donphan were exclusive to Gold, and Teddiursa and Ursaring were exclusive to Silver. In international versions of Gold and Silver, this was switched for unknown reasons: Teddiursa and Ursaring could be found in Gold, and Phanpy and Donphan could be found in Silver instead. However, ''all'' versions of HeartGold and SoulSilver have Phanpy/Donphan in HeartGold and Teddiursa/Ursaring in SoulSilver, making this inconsistent with international versions of Gold and Silver.
* HeartGold and SoulSilver, as well as {{2v2|Gold|Silver|s}}, have [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] specialists for every type except the {{type|Ground}}.

===Errors===
*A typo exists in the script of the English versions. Upon evaluating the [[National Pokédex]] with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught when talking to [[Professor Oak]], he, like in all the other Pokémon games he is in, will congratulate the player. However, in the sentence "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long!" of his speech, the lowercase L should be an I instead.
*Another typo exists in {{p|Froslass}}'s Pokédex entry in SoulSilver; the period at the end is missing. This is not the case in HeartGold.
*In {{p|Goldeen}}'s Pokédex entry, it refers to its speed as 5 knots per hour. A knot isn't a measure of distance, but speed. Thus, knots per hour measure acceleration.
* The Charcoal apprentice in Azalea Town will call the player a "man" even when the player is a girl. (This is after getting back the Farfetch'd and recieving the Charcoal.)

ShinyPikachu: /* Miracle Launcher */ new section

==Permission==
to add Kanoko Town as starting town?--[[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]][[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 15:04, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

== Speculation? ==

Has it been confirmed that he will get a gift from Professor Araragi, what if he gets it from his family? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 12:08, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, it's confirmed that the gift is from his family. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:28, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

== Default name? ==

I keep seeing his name being defaulted as Touya (ジュン), apparently from the Battle Subway as a tag-battle partner. Does anyone have any confirmation so we can move it or not? [[User:Pocketfanmk|Pocketfanmk]] 00:21, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Protip: your Japanese says "Jun."
:His Pixiv tag is at "Touya," and White's is at "Touko," but I believe we're waiting until we can see it first-hand before moving. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 00:22, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

OOPS! I meant トウヤ! Wonder how that happened. But I just want someone to do that Battle Subway so we can get some kind of confirmation. [[User:Pocketfanmk|Pocketfanmk]] 00:30, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
:Me too. My *ekhm* game crashes at Battle Subway. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:11, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

Touya and Touko are added IN the articles, but the article is not moved itself. Is there any evidence? I'd kinda like the page to be moved if its confirmed, or to have the names taken out of the article, if not? [[User:Pocketfanmk|Pocketfanmk]] 04:35, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

== Tōya/Tōko confirmation ==

Not a straight-from-game one but [http://pokemon.maruamyu.net/data/bw/btl_subway.html here is the full Battle Subway Trainer List from BW]. Tōya and Tōko are there on the very bottom, next to the Subway Masters. The number next to them stand for [http://pokemon.maruamyu.net/data/bw/btl_subway_poke.html the Pokémon that they use]. I think the pages should be moved now. The problem is - our current Romanization standard. MoS says to use Hepburn (hence, Tōya and Tōko) but I got recently scolded by Maverick Nate that I shouldn't use macrons. Can someone tell me what the hell is going on with the Romanizations here? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:32, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== English names from demos ==

According to demos for Black and White, Touya is supposedly called "Blair". His female counterpart, Touko, is named "Whitlea". To avoid problems, I think its safe to protect both pages for now, but what do I know. -[[User:Ninterror|Ninterror]] 15:36, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
:Chances are that these names are just for the demos (being Black/White-based) and the NPC names from Battle Subway will be different. But even if it's the case, these names still deserve a mention in Trivia section, in my opinion. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:44, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

== Kuro ==

On several pages on www.pokemonblackwhite.com, Touya is named Kuro. I am unsure if this means that it is the official name or not, but whatever it is, it is a new name, and is about as viable as Blair. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 00:12, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
:Like {{tt|Blair|Isn't this a girl's name?}}, is most likely the name they chose for the player, not the character himself. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 00:15, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

== Miracle Launcher ==

Could someone change the link in the sprite box from "Miracle Shooter" to "Miracle Launcher"? [[User:ShinyPikachu|Shiny]][[Pikachu (Pokémon)|Pikachu]] 14:03, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shandera is a chandelier-like Pokémon with a striped, round head, round, pupil-less yellow eyes, and small black spikes atop its head from which a tall purple flame flares. It has a black spike below its head, with curling black lamp-holding structures from below its head keeping purple flames at their tips.

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

===Special abilities===
The swaying of the fire on Shandera's arms hypnotizes its opponents. Shandera can suck out the soul of a person, leaving only an empty shell of a body.

===Behavior===
Shandera burns the souls it sucks out.

===Habitat===

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Shandera and its {{p|Hitomoshi|evolutionary}} {{p|Ranpuraa|relatives}}.
* Shandera has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all non-[[legendary Pokémon]] and of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Despite hovering, it does not have the ability {{a|Levitate}}.
* Despite its Black [[Pokédex]] entry, it cannot learn {{m|Hypnosis}}.
** Due to this, it is unable to make use of {{m|Dream Eater}} on its own, which it can learn through TM.

===Origin===
Shandera is a combination of {{wp|Hitodama}} (a blue, black, or purple-fire associated with ghosts and {{wp|yōkai}}, equivalent to the western {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}) and a {{wp|chandelier}}.

====Name origin====
Its Japanese name is a corruption of シャンデリア ''shanderia'', chandelier.

The '''fifth generation''' of Pokémon, known by fans due to its version names as the '''monochrome generation''', is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, it begins with two games, {{game|Black and White|s}}, released as a pair, and will possibly later be joined by a [[version|third version]]. In an unprecedented move, Black and White were for the [[Nintendo DS]], the same as [[Generation IV]]'s five main series games.

A new [[region]] was introduced for this generation. The [[Unova]] region is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is not based on a part of real world Japan, but draws inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

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

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

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No Pokémon from previous generations can be found in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of 92 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of 41 new [[Ability|abilities]], bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new abilities, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the [[Dream World]]. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple battle]]s and [[rotational battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[double battle]]s.
* The introduction of [[seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more real and lifelike.
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game, rather than just inside of the Union Room.
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* [[Weather conditions]] and the current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of Poké Ball, the [[Dream Ball]], retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the [[Sport Ball]] are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game. The [[Park Ball]] has been completely overwritten by the Dream Ball.
* Pokémon now move constantly throughout battle, with animations reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}. Differently from before, they don't stop moving. The speed in which Pokémon move changes as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with status conditions.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but seen from behind.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon on the battlefield has less than 25% of their HP, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a Gym Leader's last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* In the Japanese version of the game, there is a {{wp|kanji}} mode, which when enabled, causes kanji to be used in game menus and text, in addition to the {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} used in the previous four generations.

* A reduction in boxes in the [[Pokémon storage system]] from 18 to 8, giving players the ability to store only 240 Pokémon, the same as [[Generation I]]. Additional space is available once the player has placed one captured Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, then receiving an additional 8 boxes for storage, bringing the total to 16. This cycle continues until the player finally has 24 boxes, for a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded to 95 from 92. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs are now able to be used an infinite number of times just like [[HM]]s.
*** When a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced by the new move. This is to prevent repeated usage of TMs and HMs for the purpose of PP restoration.
* HMs have been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The expansion of the Key Item shortcut feature to include access to several menu screens. After being registered, the player can access a quick access menu by pressing the Y Button.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.

===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Contests]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]].
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s other forms are now the type of their respective special move.
==Regions==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova.jpg|thumb|right|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.
====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type2|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type2|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type2|Water}}.

==Trivia==

* Generation V is the only generation where:
** A new [[HM]] move is not introduced
** A [[branched evolution]] chain is not introduced.
** There is only one [[fishing]] rod, as the [[Old Rod]] and [[Good Rod]] have been removed.
** There are no [[Game Corner]]s.
** Three legendary trios (the [[Musketeer trio|Musketeer]], [[Kami trio|Kami]], and [[Tao trio|Tao]] trios) are introduced.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than his {{stat|Attack}}. It is one of {{p|Tyrogue|Tyrogue's}} three final forms.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, human-shaped Pokémon. His body resembles a light purple tunic with a kilt and fists resemble red boxing gloves. His enlarged shoulders give the appearance of shoulder pads. His purple feet give the appearance of a pair of a {{wp|boxer}} shoes. Unlike his parallel evolution, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, he has a mouth and a visible separation between body and head.
====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is his wide versatility in boxing--his major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect his fists.

Hitmonchan are well-known for their capability of {{m|Mach Punch|lightning-fast punches}}, faster than bullet trains, that are impossible to be seen by the naked human eye. When doing this, it sometimes appears as if Hitmonchan is standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well-developed talent in quick, light blows, Hitmonchan can also throw power-packed punches. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill.

Before making contact with a target, Hitmonchan will spin his arms to increase the power of his attacks. Both his speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing him to work harder, he never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, he usually needs a short break after each fight he takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they aren't normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s influence. When under the possession of a Trainer, however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; he may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or he might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. He is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo. While it is unknown where they came from originally, they were first found in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Hitmonchan anime.png|thumb|right|Hitmonchan in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Hitmonchan's first appearance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' under a Trainer named {{Ka|Anthony}}. He was entered in the [[P1 Grand Prix]], but ended up losing to a {{p|Hitmonlee}} stolen by [[Team Rocket]] because the match was sabotaged.

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', Hitmonchan was a major performer in a Pokémon show, where the plot was around a boxing match between him and a glove-wearing {{p|Machoke}}.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', one was part of a group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', he was one of the Pokémon owned by a [[Yas Gym]] Trainer.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Hitmonchan was one of the Pokémon shown in an exercise gym. Team Rocket tried to steal the group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, but were stopped by {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

[[Bruno]] used a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''.

During ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', one was owned by an obnoxious Trainer that used him to attack a beached {{AP|Lapras}}.

[[Rudy]] had a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' featured a fighting-type dojo where one of the many Pokémon was a Hitmonchan.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', Karate King [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside him to break a rolling boulder. He later used Hitmonchan in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'', one was used in battle by one of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Another classic replay of the Hitmonlee versus Hitmonchan battle was performed in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. A Trainer named [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] owned a Hitmonchan that was used in battle to decide the fate of [[Master Hamm|his father]]'s fighting dojo.

{{adv|Crystal}} is later seen with a Hitmonchan (Hitmonee) in her capture team, who is capable of blindingly fast punching attacks.

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} borrows a Hitmonchan to use in a tournament in ''[[GB09|Let's Use Fighting Type Pokémon!!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Besides {{p|Smeargle}}, Hitmonchan learns the most increased-priority moves by level up out of all Pokémon, with three.
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared {{p|Tyrogue|pre-evolution}}.
* Hitmonchan's colors reference the traditional boxing colors, referring to the red corner (normal) and the blue corner ({{Shiny}}).
* Hitmonchan, along with {{p|Wargle}}, {{p|Nageki}}, {{p|Dageki}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and its evolutionary relatives, is one of the few gendered non-legendary Pokémon naturally occurring in the wild that cannot reproduce without a {{p|Ditto}}.

===Origin===
He may be a personification of {{wp|boxing}}, a fighting style and sport that focuses on punching. His head and "hair" slightly resembles a human hand.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan's name can be broken down into "hit", "monster" and "Chan" - as in {{wp|Jackie Chan}}; perhaps meaning "The monster that hits like Jackie Chan". His name is similar to his two parallel evolutions, {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}. His Japanese name is derived from the name of Japanese world champion boxer {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nockchan - Likely from ''knock'' and ''Chan'', as in Jackie.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tygnon - ''Ty'' is for {{wp|Mike Tyson}}, and ''gnon'' (thump).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 홍수몬 ''Hongsumon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 艾比郎 ''Ài Bǐ Láng'' - 艾比 ''Ài Bǐ'' is the transliteration of "Ebi" from its Japanese name. The character 郎 refers to young males.

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type2|Water}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Futachimaru}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Daikenki}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] region, able to be chosen at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.

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

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the seashell-shaped appendage on its belly. This shell can be used for a variety of different things, such as a acting like a weapon, shield, and boomerang.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its shell attachment without any hesitation.

==Trivia==
[[File:PokéSun May09 10.png|thumb|The three silhouettes on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Oshawott and its fellow {{2v2|Black|White}} starters were first revealed as silhouettes on the May 9, 2010 episode of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. They were later revealed in full in the June 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]].
* Oshawott is the first {{type2|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]] to be based on a mammal as well as the first mammalian starter not to be of the {{type2|Fire}}.
* Oshawott has the lowest base stat total of all {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon.
* Oshawott is the only [[Evolution|unevolved]] Water-type starter Pokémon not to have the letter 'i' in its name.
:*It's also the only [[Version|Main Series]] starter pokémon whose name begin with a vowel (with the possible exception of {{p|Eevee}})

===Origin===
Oshawott appears to be based on a {{wp|sea otter}}. Using its shell as a sword is a direct reference to the {{wp|Samurai}}.

[[Ken Sugimori]] said that Oshawott and its evolutions were the hardest for the team to design during production, as conceptualizing its evolutions were difficult. They eventually settled on a samurai theme and making its final form a sea lion after a trip to an aquarium.

====Name origin====
Oshawott possibly derives from ''ocean'', ''shell'', ''water'' and ''otter;'' it may possibly be a corruption of "''ocean water''". The ''osha'' part could be a corruption of ''O-shaped'', given that its Japanese name contains ''maru'', meaning round. It might make reference to the {{wp|Canada|Canadian}} cities of {{wp|Oshawa}} and {{wp|Ottawa}}, as Canada contains many protected areas in which sea otters reside. It could also make reference to {{wp|George Ohsawa}}, a famed dietitian born into a poor samurai family during the {{wp|Meiji Restoration}} of Japan.

Its Japanese name may be derived from 水 ''mizu'', water or 未熟 ''mijuku'',naive or immature, and 丸 ''maru'', round. ''-maru'' is also a common suffix in male Japanese names. The syllable ''mi'' may also be derived from 三つ ''mitsu'', meaning three or third, implying a lineage within the evolutionary line with Mijumaru being third in line.

'''Oshawott''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミジュマル''' ''Mijumaru'') is a {{type2|Water}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Futachimaru}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Daikenki}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, Oshawott is one of the [[starter Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] region, able to be chosen at the beginning of {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Oshawott is a bipedal sea otter-like Pokémon, primarily light blue, dark blue, and white in coloration. Oshawott has a rounded, spherical white head, with small, triangular dark-blue ears to the sides. Oshawott's eyes are large, dark, and ovoid in shape; its dark-orange nose is shaped like an oval on its side. Oshawott also possesses speckles to the sides of its face, most likely meant to be a stylistic implication of short whiskers in the common manner of cartoon canines, and light blue bubble-esque features composing a "collar" around its neck. Oshawott's torso is light blue, and decorated with a pale yellow seashell feature in the center. Made out of {{wp|keratin}}, this appendage can be removed and used in various ways; mainly, as a weapon. Its small, digit-less and somewhat rounded arms are white in coloration, with its feet—having, unlike its forearms, discernible digits—colored dark blue. Oshawott also possesses a slightly plank-shaped dark blue tail and a pair of fangs unseen until it opens its mouth.

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

===Special abilities===
It can fight skillfully by detaching the seashell-shaped appendage on its belly. This shell can be used for a variety of different things, such as a acting like a weapon, shield, and boomerang.

===Behavior===
If Oshawott is attacked, it will fight back using its shell attachment without any hesitation.

'''Professor Birch''' (Japanese: '''オダマキ博士''' ''Dr. Odamaki'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[Littleroot Town]] and [[Hoenn]]. He specializes in {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[habitat]]s and distribution.

==Background information==
Birch distributes [[Pokédex]]es and one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Hoenn: {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}}, to aspiring Hoenn trainers in the [[Generation III]] games. In addition, after Trainers complete the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] in {{game|Emerald}}, he will give them one of the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]]: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}.

He is known to be more outgoing than the other Pokémon Professors, and oftentimes his research takes him outdoors. His field of study is primarily how Pokémon behave in the wild.

==In the games==
In the Generation III games, Professor Birch is the father of the rival character.

In the start of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, he must be rescued from a wild {{p|Poochyena}}. In the start of {{game|Emerald}}, he must be rescued from a wild {{p|Zigzagoon}}. After saving him, he will give the protagonist of the games the starter Pokémon they used in the rescue.

He often works with his child to help observe and capture wild Pokémon. His wife worries about him, because he's always busy and rarely has time to come home.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Birch anime.JPG|200px|left|thumb|Professor Birch and [[Max]]]]

Birch was first mentioned in a flashback of {{jo|Harrison}} on ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. His first appearance was in ''[[AG001|Get The Show On The Road]]'' when he gave {{an|May}} her {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}}. He later appeared in [[Dewford Town]] in both ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' and ''[[AG028|Seeing is Believing!]]''. Birch also appeared in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack]]'', when he was meeting [[Professor Oak]]. Later, Birch was seen in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War!]]'' at a vacation on [[A-B-C Islands]]. Over there, he and the twerps cleared the mystery of the {{p|Clamperl}} [[evolution]]. Birch's most recent appearance was a short cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''; it is unknown if he will appear again since the main characters have left the Hoenn region.

His preferred mode of transport is a jeep that he drives recklessly.

Due to the relationship between characters in the games, it is widely speculated that Birch is the father of [[Brendan (game)#anime|Brendan's anime counterpart]]. This character has made three short cameo appearances in the anime and has the [[starter Pokémon]] whose type weakens {{OP|May|Torchic}}.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Professor Birch is the father of {{Adv|Sapphire}}, and supplies her with most of her Pokémon. He is good friends with [[Norman]].

After {{adv|Ruby}} rescued Birch from some wild {{p|Mightyena}}, Birch gave him a Mudkip.

Birch gave away most of his Pokémon to Sapphire and Ruby. His last Pokémon was a Treecko, that he lost in a flood caused by {{p|Kyogre}}. [[Wally]] has since rescued the Pokémon and began to raise it.

'''James''' (Japanese: '''コジロウ''' ''Kojirō'') is a member of the [[Team Rocket]] trio that follows [[Ash Ketchum]] and {{ashfr|friends}} around in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

James is mostly a comedic parody of ''bishounen'' characters; the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub in particular tends to give him a melodramatic and even campy tone. He is somewhat famous for carrying a rose, though in more recent episodes he does not display it as often. Mostly, his rose is displayed in the [[Team Rocket motto]].

==In the anime==

===Character===
[[File:James Anime.png|left|thumb|100px|James as seen in his [[Team Rocket uniform#White uniform|white uniform]] from ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' through [[DP191]].]]
The only child of millionaires, James was forced to endure formal society while growing up. Often having to take part in numerous lessons and activities he had little to no interest in, he eventually began to grow weary of the rules and standards that appeared to be ever-present within the upper-class. At a young age, he was engaged to a girl named [[Jessiebelle]]. It was revealed in ''[[DP153|The Treasure Is All Mine!]]'' that he wanted to marry her at some point. But he changed his mind after he saw how controlling and overbearing she was. Unable to stand her, he ran away, leaving his lavish lifestyle as well as beloved pet {{p|Growlithe}}, [[Growlie]], behind. He attempted to enroll in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school flunked out; as did his new friend [[Jessie]]. Then, with Jessie, he joined the [[Sunny Town]] bicycle gang, where he was popular for being the only gang member to have to use training wheels (nicknamed "Trainer Jim"). Eventually James, Jessie, and the bike gang went their separate ways.

Due to conflicts in canon between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] episodes and the special episode ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between James and Jessie after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.
[[File:James BW anime.png|thumb|James in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|220px]]
Surprisingly, James has shown to be relatively well versed in various activities, including Pokémon Haiku, [[Pokémon Orienteering]], and [[PokéRinger]] among other things, making him almost something of a "Jack of all Trades". It is possible that he developed his skills during his temporary separation from Jessie, or even from the many lessons he was enrolled in as a child, but this is not known for sure.

[[File:Younger James.png|thumb|250px|Younger James and Growlie]]
Perhaps due to his heavily enforced, sheltered upbringing, as well as the constant harassment that he had to endure from Jessiebelle as a child, James has an odd, somewhat submissive personality. He will regularly comply to whatever ideas the other two come up with, and when he doesn't, usually ends up doing so anyway, like when he was forced to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} away. He also seems to be the most emotional amongst the Team Rocket trio, and if the three should ever happen to get separated, he'll seem very lost without his companions. James also appears to have the most conscience among the three (though all of them do to some degree or another), and is the least prone to backstabbing someone who is kind to him. He can actually be quite sinister when he wants to, however.

In the episode ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', James returned to his home as a result of a trap by his parents, who pretended to be dead in order to get him to come back to the estate, knowing he would return to pay his respects. He suspected that it was a trap, but he ended up being forced into participating by Jessie and Meowth, who wanted the fortune. After the deception was revealed, he was once again subjected to Jessiebelle's torment until Growlie came to his rescue. After temporarily chasing Jessiebelle away, James soon left his family's manor and as a result declined his inheritance. Growlie stayed behind upon James's request when he returned to Jessie and Meowth.
[[File:Jessie and James first appearance.png|200px|thumb|left|Jessie and James's first apperance in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'']]
James has a tendency to be swindled by a [[Magikarp Salesman]], who, despite James's increasing wariness and personal vendetta against the shady character, has on many occasions tricked him into buying a Magikarp or other useless Pokémon and items for large sums of money.

James also has a [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|tendency to cross-dress]], but has not done it since ''[[AG050|Pros and Con Artists]]'', with the exception of the occasional impersonation of characters such as [[Nurse Joy]]'s and [[Officer Jenny]]'s. In fact, ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'' marks the first time he cross-dresses in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, though it was him disguised as [[Jessie|Jessalina]]. He also often dresses up like famous celebrities as well, such as [[Professor Oak]], [[Juan]], and [[Norman]], and impersonates other non-human objects, including Pokémon, animals, and even bushes and trees.

[[File:James Croagunk card.png|200px|thumb|right|One of James's Pokédex cards, detailing about [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]]]]
James loves rare bottle caps and has an impressive collection of them. This hobby started when he was a young child. In the episode ''[[EP184|All That Glitters!]]'' it is revealed that he has "drunk enough soda pop to float an aircraft carrier".

For unknown reasons, he, Jessie and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in Pokémon|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation. However in newer episodes the balloon is shown with 'jets' attached to explain how they get from one place to another faster than walking.

At times, instead of a [[Pokédex]], he uses a deck of cards to identify Pokémon, such as in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'' when he first learns of Croagunk's Poison Jab with it, or in ''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis!]]'' when he uses it to look up Hippopotas (explaining why he knows the Pokémon to be named "Hippopotas" and not "Hippopontas" as Jessie calls it). They appear to have the same entry as an electronic Pokédex, including a few basic parameters like height and weight, though it is unknown how many Pokémon they include (however, he seems to have used them mostly for Sinnoh Pokémon thus far).

Throughout most of the series, James and his two friends were presented as horribly failing and erroneous criminals, always blundering their missions to capture Ash's Pikachu or other Pokémon. Recently, however, he, along with the rest of his team, developed a more serious attitude in his work, being quicker-witted and much more resourceful than before and using ingenious methods of escape, such as a smoke curtain, and thus proving much more difficult for Ash to defeat. They still fail in every mission they take on but one in which they manage to get enough data from the Site of Dreams and they are less erroneous than before.

===Pokémon===
As the standards of the Team Rocket organization dictated, James was first shown with a Poison-type Pokémon. However, James seems to have a fondness for carnivorous (or at least dangerous) {{type2|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, owning {{p|Weepinbell}}, {{p|Victreebel}}, and {{p|Carnivine}}. It was shown during a flashback in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' how James, as a boy, found {{TP|James|Carnivine}} in the [[Great Marsh]]. It was trapped in the mud and James rescued it, the two forming a bond of friendship. It is not shown how he {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} Weepinbell, but he had owned it for a long period of time before its first appearance. The capture of a {{p|Cacnea}} early in Hoenn furthered his apparent preference for Grass-types. Often, when going into battle, his Grass Pokémon will show great affection towards James, which usually results in pain for him since all of them either have sharp teeth or spines. It is also shown that James develops a strong bond with each of his Pokémon in general; James almost treats them as his own children, and they in turn are all greatly attached to him. This could stem from the childhood memories he occasionally brings up, where it is shown that while growing up James hadn't really had any friends other than his Pokémon. When it comes time to leave a Pokémon behind for one reason or another, James often has great difficulty in letting go of his beloved friends.

* [[Pokémon Orienteering]] (Winner)
* {{to|Lilypad}} [[Contest]] (Winner; gave [[ribbon]] to Jessie)

==In the games==
===Pokémon Yellow===
Both Jessie and James appear in {{game|Yellow}} as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the main character on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching their Boss.

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}.

[[File:James Electric Tale.jpg|thumb|left|James in the manga]]
James appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series along with his teammates [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}}.

His first appearance is in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. He, Jessie and Meowth tag along with a group of lost Pokémon, including {{AP|Pikachu}}, to try and find the [[Hidden Village]]. When they arrive, he and Jessie attempt to steal the Pokémon living in the village, but they are quickly expelled by a {{p|Kangaskhan}}. In this chapter, he uses a {{TP|James|Koffing}} in battle.
[[File:Rocketshipping.jpg|thumb|right|[[Jessie]] and James as [[RocketShipping|a married couple]] in the manga]]
James's next appearance is in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. He and Jessie attempt to steal a herd of wild {{p|Pikachu}}. At this point in the manga, James's {{p|Koffing}} has evolved into {{TP|James|Weezing}}, though its evolution is not depicted in the manga.

While in the anime, the nature of James's relationship with Jessie is not explicitly stated, in the epilogue of the manga, he is shown [[RocketShipping|confessing his love to Jessie]]. They are shown afterwards married with Jessie visibly pregnant.

[[File:SugimoriJames.png|right|thumb|Art from the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} TCG James theme deck]]
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed {{TCG|Theme Deck}} based on {{TCG|James}}.

It is rumored that James may also be on the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} set card {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Rocket's Secret Experiment|120}}, as there is a Rocket in the background, seen only from the back, who has his hairstyle.

==Trivia==
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|250px|James and Jessie]]
* Both [[Jessie]] and James have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times (Jessie having used two). None of the three remained in their care, however.
* James at times uses the name Jameson.
* James hasn't evolved any of his Pokémon since ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]''.
* He is one of the only main characters to, after being given his first Pokémon, at one point not have any Pokémon on hand, if one doesn't count the events depicted in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]''. This was in ''[[AG006|A Poached Ego!]]'' during the brief moment after he released {{TP|James|Weezing}} and before he caught {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. He currently has no Pokémon with him. The other characters were {{Ash}} briefly when he was traveling to [[Hoenn]] and [[Jessie]] at the beginning of Team Rocket's travels in [[Unova]].
* James is the only main character to have [[James's Victreebel|one Pokémon]] and release/give it away, then get [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|another Pokémon of the same species]].
* James and {{MTR}} are the only main characters to have their voice actors replaced during the [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] run of the show, then again when [[The Pokémon Company International|Pokémon USA]] took over.
* James is the only Trainer on the main cast who has not owned a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} during the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.
** In fact, the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon James ''ever'' had was a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Hoppip}}, and even then it flew away before he could put it in a Poké Ball.
* James was the first main character to release [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Gyarados|a Pokémon]].
* James was the first main character to be shown with both of their parents (although this would be equaled by {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] as the series went on).
* A running gag in the anime involves James's {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon hurting him in a show of affection.
* In the main series games, James and [[Jessie]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when Kanto is revisited, and (being exclusive to Pokémon Yellow) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] remakes.
* James is the first main character as of yet in the anime to win an official [[Pokémon contest]] on his first try, though the showcased [[Princess Salvia]] later also won on her first try as well.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], a newswoman on Area 4 of Mt. Battle references James stating that she's looking for someone with the same Pokémon as she has. The Pokémon she uses are {{p|Cacnea}} and {{p|Chimecho}}.
* Despite James holding a [[Poké Ball]] in his artwork from the {{series|Best Wishes}}, he sent his Pokémon to Team Rocket's headquarters as soon as he arrived in the [[Unova]] region. He is still without ''any'' Pokémon currently, as of the most recent Japanese episode.

===Name origin===
James's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. His Japanese name, Kojiro, is taken from 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', a prominent Japanese swordsman most famous for being killed by his rival, 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', the namesake of Jessie. Also, 二郎 ''Jirō'' is a name meaning "second son," while 三郎 ''Saburō'' means "third son." Kojiro takes advantage of ''Jirō'', while the Japanese name of [[Butch]], Kosaburo, takes advantage of ''Saburō''.

:i would say no.

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I've been reading the Pokemon's physiology but I found it somewhat odd, I'm a medical student and I suggest that the Physiology term should be change in Anatomy because of the fact that when we define physiology, it means more on the function of the body while in anatomy, more on defining or explaining each part of the body...well try to define those.. just a suggestion but more on facts..thanks..--[[User:Gaspershut|''GASPER'']][[User talk:Gaspershut|''shut...'']] 03:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

===Userspace limits===
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the {{bp|mainspace}}. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>

== Possible new site feature ==

As Archaic doesn't check his talk page, TTE isn't here at the moment, and I cannot edit the latter's talk page, I'm telling you this idea I had, as second referral.

As you know, the release of Gen V is causing all these changes to Bulbapedia. We (the users and editors) have been adding the Gen V information, putting the Gen IV info with the Gen I-III info. However, if the MediaWiki software allows it, it might be possible to give logged-in users the ability to show some generation's data by default through prefs. For example, I don't have BW, only P and SS, so I would usually want to see Gen IV information for Pokémon and such. However, one of my friends from school, who may or may not have an account here (I am not entirely sure), has many Gen III games and HG, so he might want to normally see Gen III data. As always, however, not-logged-in users will see Gen V data by default.

Do you think it would be at all possible for this to be implimented? As required, you can propongate this idea up the heirarchy of power. Just tell me where so I can monitor the discussion and add input as necessary. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 06:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

==ROM Hack Tools==
I saw that there's a page on ROM hacks and some of the more notable ones, but nothing about tools used. Would I be able to create some pages on ROM hack tools, or is that not allowed? [[User:Genericuser62637|Genericuser62637]] 23:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
:i would say no. ROM hacks are illegal, so we technically dont want to encourage it. also, the hacks themselves are notable because theyre fanon, but the tools dont fall in that category. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 03:40, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I've been reading the Pokemon's physiology but I found it somewhat odd, I'm a medical student and I suggest that the Physiology term should be change in Anatomy because of the fact that when we define physiology, it means more on the function of the body while in anatomy, more on defining or explaining each part of the body...well try to define those.. just a suggestion but more on facts..thanks..--[[User:Gaspershut|''GASPER'']][[User talk:Gaspershut|''shut...'']] 03:30, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the {{bp|mainspace}}. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>

As Archaic doesn't check his talk page, TTE isn't here at the moment, and I cannot edit the latter's talk page, I'm telling you this idea I had, as second referral.

As you know, the release of Gen V is causing all these changes to Bulbapedia. We (the users and editors) have been adding the Gen V information, putting the Gen IV info with the Gen I-III info. However, if the MediaWiki software allows it, it might be possible to give logged-in users the ability to show some generation's data by default through prefs. For example, I don't have BW, only P and SS, so I would usually want to see Gen IV information for Pokémon and such. However, one of my friends from school, who may or may not have an account here (I am not entirely sure), has many Gen III games and HG, so he might want to normally see Gen III data. As always, however, not-logged-in users will see Gen V data by default.

Do you think it would be at all possible for this to be implimented? As required, you can propongate this idea up the heirarchy of power. Just tell me where so I can monitor the discussion and add input as necessary. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 06:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

:Perhaps if we were able to implement skins without too many errors, it could be possible to sneak some user preferences in through that. Otherwise, MediaWiki doesn't have much support for allowing users to set specific preferences like that, so it's pretty much a no-go. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 01:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

== Userspace ==

Just wanted to say sorry about the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:HoennMaster#Userspace userspace] issue last week. I didn't know that Bulbapedia re-instated the three edits per day rule. I thought the site was still following the "don't edit it often" rule. I thought it would be fine since if you look at the history of anypage (well maybe minus the sandbox) I really don't edit it often. Anyway, sorry about that. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 16:37, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

===Userspace limits===
Hi. I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. Please don't do it any more, though. Bulbapedia's {{bp|Userspace policy}} restricts the amount you can edit your userpage: no more than three edits per day. This policy was instated to prevent strain on our server, and also to promote people helping out in the {{bp|mainspace}}. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal userpage. The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your userpage. Thanks! <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki>

==Game Staff Pages==
Among the wanted pages list, there are multiple missing pages on game staff, such as [[Staff of Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. I'm planning on working on a few of those, and I'm just wondering what sort of format is expected for such a page.
[[User:Genericuser62637|Genericuser62637]] 21:59, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== Possible new site feature ==

As Archaic doesn't check his talk page, TTE isn't here at the moment, and I cannot edit the latter's talk page, I'm telling you this idea I had, as second referral.

As you know, the release of Gen V is causing all these changes to Bulbapedia. We (the users and editors) have been adding the Gen V information, putting the Gen IV info with the Gen I-III info. However, if the MediaWiki software allows it, it might be possible to give logged-in users the ability to show some generation's data by default through prefs. For example, I don't have BW, only P and SS, so I would usually want to see Gen IV information for Pokémon and such. However, one of my friends from school, who may or may not have an account here (I am not entirely sure), has many Gen III games and HG, so he might want to normally see Gen III data. As always, however, not-logged-in users will see Gen V data by default.

Do you think it would be at all possible for this to be implimented? As required, you can propongate this idea up the heirarchy of power. Just tell me where so I can monitor the discussion and add input as necessary. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] 06:17, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

:Perhaps if we were able to implement skins without too many errors, it could be possible to sneak some user preferences in through that. Otherwise, MediaWiki doesn't have much support for allowing users to set specific preferences like that, so it's pretty much a no-go. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï]] [[user talk:Jioruji Derako|'''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']] 01:19, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

== Active admins ==

The active admins template still lists TTEchidna as EiC. I'd change it but I don't know exactly how the positions are shifting, and I'm afraid if I screw up then one of you high-ups will smite me. --[[User:BeeBwakka|Bee § Bwakka♂]] ''([[User talk:BeeBwakka|meh talk]])'' 03:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

== User Group ==

What is the User group Abuse? —♫ [[User:Cool469|Cool469]][[User Talk:Cool469|talk]] 22:18, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

==Project Battrio==
So, I've been working on the [[Pokémon Battrio]] page a while, and I noticed that the project's leader is no longer actively on Bulbapedia. So...who do I go to for questions? [[User:Genericuser62637|Genericuser62637]] 22:37, 5 December 2010 (UTC)
:Umeko is still active, she is just not around right now. your best bet is to ask other participants. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 22:58, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

The reason it was protected was because [[User:Cool469|this user]] kept attempting to get his website (that wasn't even completed yet) advertised on the site and one of his edits was about it [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:52, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

==Template Change Proposal==

Hey,
I'm kinda new at this still so bear with me lol 
I am trying to update the [[List of Pokémon by in-game availability|List by Availability]] page for my entry in the Xmas Improvement Drive, and I want to include the generation V column for the first four generations of pokemon. In order to do this, four protected templates must be changed [[Template:Avail-1|Avail-1]], [[Template:Avail-2|Avail-2]], [[Template:Avail-3|Avail-3]], and [[Template:Avail-4|Avail-4]]. I was wondering if either you could make the changes or if you could somehow allow me to make the changes myself. See my [[User:Absol21990|Userspace]] for an example of Avail-1 changed. Thanks.

* Onondo is one of only four Pokémon that is not fully evolved that can learn {{m|Giga Impact}} by leveling up; the others are {{p|Kibago}}, {{p|Yorterry}}, and {{p|Haderia}}.
* Requiring 38 levels to evolve from Kibago and just 10 more to evolve into Ononokus, Onondo has the distinction of having the lowest relative second-stage evolution requirement, at just 26%.

===Origin===
Onondo's tusks are similar in appearance to {{wp|Scutosaurus|Scutosaurid's}} or possibly {{wp|Ceratopsia|Ceratopsid's}} cheekbone tusks and are also similar to {{wp|pickaxe|pickaxe blades}}. Its crest may be based off a {{wp|Hadrosaurid|Hadrosaurid's}}, more specifically {{wp|Saurolophus|Saurolophid's}}, or possibly a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid's}}, possibly the {{wp|Plumed basilisk|Plumed basilisk's}}.

====Name origin====
May come from 斧 ono "axe" and the Latin suffix "don" meaning tooth.

'''Ash's Tepig''' (Japanese: '''サトシのポカブ''' ''Satoshi's Pokabu'') is the third Pokémon that {{Ash}} caught in the [[Unova]] region.

==History==
[[File:Tepig Release.png|left|thumb|right|250px|Tepig being abandoned]]
Tepig once belonged to another {{pkmn|trainer}} who abandoned him after he lost to a {{p|Shikijika}} in battle. When Ash visited the {{To|Karakusa}} Pokémon [[Battle Club]] in [[BW004]], Ash mistook Tepig for an {{p|Umbreon}} when watching a security tape of him stealing food from the nearby warehouse. In an attempt to capture the 'Umbreon', Ash then met Tepig for the first time when it was trying to eat some bait. He realized that Tepig was covered in soot and was unable to eat as there was a rope tied around his mouth, making him extremely hungry. Initially, Tepig tried to run away, but after being cornered by Ash and having its rope removed, he was carried back to the Battle Club by Ash.
Later on, Tepig volunteered to help Ash retrieve his {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Team Rocket]]. Later, When {{an|Iris}} wanted to capture Tepig, it refused and decided it wanted to join Ash's team, and Ash caught him in a [[Poké Ball]].
{{left clear}}

Tepig fought for Ash during his [[Sanyou Gym]] battle in [[BW005]], against [[Pod]] and his {{p|Baoppu}}. Tepig's attacks didn't do much damage to Baoppu, but Baoppu managed to hit Tepig with {{m|Fire Punch}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Dig}}. One of Baoppu's Dig attack sent Tepig into the air. Ash then commanded him to dive into the hole that Baoppu was in and he managed to bite Baoppu's tail. Although Baoppu threw Tepig onto the ground, he managed to get up and spun Baoppu around, throwing him to the ground. He used {{m|Ember}} successfully, and then knocked Baoppu out with a powerful {{m|Tackle}}.
[[File:Ash and Tepig.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Tepig]]
Tepig was revealed to be male in [[BW007]] when he battled a wild {{AP|Snivy}} that would eventually be caught by Ash. Although he managed to use an Ember attack, he was hit by the Snivy's {{m|Attract}} and became infatuated with her, causing him to be recalled.

In [[BW010]], he was used to fight against [[Shooti]]'s {{p|Hatooboo}}. Like {{AP|Oshawott}} before him, he was defeated by a single {{m|Aerial Ace}}.

==Moves used==

{{anmov|fire|Ember|BW004}}
{{anmov|normal|Tackle|BW005}}
{{anmov/f|fire}}

==Trivia==
* Tepig's capture was first revealed in a short preview aired after [[DP190]], featuring all the [[Starter Pokémon#Unova|Unova starters]]. However, it was not revealed who would be catching him.
* Tepig is the fourth {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] to be caught by Ash and the third to have been abandoned by his previous Trainer. The other two are {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} and {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}.
** He is also the only Fire-type starter that Ash caught whose Japanese name does not begin with a '''ヒ''' hi, and whose English name does not begin with a C.
* Like all of Ash's Fire-type Pokémon, Tepig was caught without battling.
* Ash's Tepig is his first Fire-type Pokémon to have its gender confirmed in the original Japanese version.

'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Zapdos|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Moltres|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendaries bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendaries introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn, as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes awry, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary target, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendaries of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a bonus disc released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
The [[lake guardians]], [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. Cyrus summons the legendary dragons of Sinnoh mythology, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}, respectively. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
[[file:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary and event legendary, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[Image:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendaries, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently only, legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Gracidea]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendaries with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totalling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a neccesary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. Victini is considered the embodiment of victory. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what. Victini is the future star of [[M14|''Victini and the Black Hero'']]

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for {{p|Keldeo}}).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under [[N]], attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary, though the only Flying-type legendaries in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of six, the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each ({{v2|Red and Green}}, {{v|Blue}}, {{v|Yellow}}, {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{v|Platinum|}}, {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.

[[File:Entei_book.png|thumb|right|370px|An artist's interpretation of {{p|Entei}}, a legendary Pokémon]]
'''Legendary Pokémon''' are a group of incredibly rare, and often very powerful {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

While in English, all are typically grouped under the banner of "legendary", there are three distinct terms in Japanese that are used to refer to them. One, '''伝説のポケモン''' ''densetsu no Pokémon'', literally "legendary Pokémon", refers to Pokémon such as {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}, who are featured prominently in the legends of the Pokémon world. A second, '''幻のポケモン''' ''maboroshi no Pokémon'', literally "illusory Pokémon", refers to Pokémon seen so rarely, such as {{p|Mew}}, that some question their very existence. This term was translated in the [[Generation IV]] games as "mirage Pokémon", in reference to the various [[Sinnoh myths|myths of Sinnoh]], and many consider it to refer to Pokémon that are restricted to [[Nintendo event]]s, not available during the course of normal gameplay. The third and newest term is '''神話のポケモン''' ''shinwa no Pokémon'', literally "mythical Pokémon", which refers to the Pokémon which are spoken of as the creators of the Sinnoh region.

==Characteristics of legendary Pokémon==

===Statistical averages{{tt|*|Considering Alternate Formes as seperate Pokémon}}===
{{BaseStatNoCat|
HP=92.89 |
Attack=86.11 |
Defense=85.28 |
SpAtk=124.45 |
SpDef=90.65 |
Speed=99.72 }}

Aside from the high [[stats]] shared by most legendary Pokémon, many of them are only available once to the {{player}} in a given save file, and to obtain another legitimately, one must [[trade]] with another game. The [[gender]] of most legendary Pokémon is unknown (though there are seven notable exceptions in {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, {{p|Voltolos}}, and {{p|Landlos}}), and all but {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Manaphy}} are unable to breed in captivity, even with {{p|Ditto}}.

No legendary Pokémon is known to [[evolution|evolve]], though many are part of a [[legendary trio]] or [[legendary duo]]. Much like [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], legendary Pokémon typically appear at the very end of them.

===In the anime===
Legendary Pokémon typically make their anime debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Many are held in a much higher regard than in the games, with their powers seen as being almost {{wp|deity|godlike}}. They are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, usually the anime's main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]], who have a special connection to them. [[Villainous teams]] and others with bad intentions often seek them out, both due to their rarity as well as their superior power.

It has been shown that the capture of certain legendary Pokémon may lead to great catastrophe, due to their often pivotal role in nature. Some speculate, however, that if a Trainer were to "play by the rules", encountering and befriending the legendary Pokémon just the same as they would any other Pokémon, the results would not be as chaotic, if at all. This theory possibly has some weight, as {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} befriended and fought official {{pkmn|battle}}s with an {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}, while [[Lawrence III]]'s capture of {{mov|Zapdos|Zapdos|2}} and {{mov|Moltres|Moltres|2}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was one of intended dominance and collection instead. It should be noted, however, that Noland was never seen to have had Articuno in a Poké Ball, and at the same time, he is a rather skilled Trainer. It should also be noted that in some cases a legendary Pokémon can be kept in a Poké Ball. For example, {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in the anime owned the three Regis in Poké Balls and trained them and there were no chaotic events that followed.

Many legendary Pokémon are shown to breed in the wild, as seen with {{p|Lugia}}, while none are immortal nor invincible, as seen by the death of {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and the injury of {{an|Arceus}}. Very few, in fact, are often considered unique, with only {{an|Mewtwo}} known to be (due to the [[The Birth of Mewtwo|circumstances of its creation]]) and {{an|Arceus}}, {{an|Dialga}}, {{an|Palkia}}, and {{an|Giratina}} assumed to be, due to their role in the creation of the universe.

==List of legendary Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 48 are considered to be legendary, while several more have certain characteristics of legendary Pokémon. Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one legendary trio and one legendary duo.

===Generation I===
The legendary Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] can be broken into two groups: the [[legendary birds]] and the Mew duo.

====Legendary birds====
[[File:Legendary birds.png|thumb|right|270px|{{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Articuno}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. Art by [[Mitsuhiro Arita]].]]
The three [[legendary birds]], also known as the Winged Mirages, are the resident [[legendary trio]] of the [[Kanto]] region. Each of them is based on a mythical bird, and each is associated with a {{wp|season}} (though none of the three is associated with autumn).

In the games, all three are available in the Kanto region in all of its appearances except for [[Generation II]]. {{p|Articuno}} takes up residence in the [[Seafoam Islands]] in the south, {{p|Zapdos}} in the [[Power Plant]] (next to it in Generation IV) in the east, and {{p|Moltres}} in a variety of places, {{ka|Victory Road}}, [[Mt. Ember]], or [[Mt. Silver]], depending on the generation. In Generation IV, they are also found [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Sinnoh]], but only in {{game|Platinum}}.

In the anime, the legendary birds appear together in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where they rule over the islands surrounding [[Shamouti Island]]. If they are disturbed and begin to fight, only {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|2}} can stop them, though it will fail without additional help from the Chosen One. Separately, Articuno appears in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'', ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', and ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', while Zapdos appears in ''[[EP242|As Clear As Crystal]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'', and Moltres appears in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' and ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

====Mew duo====
[[Image:Mewtwo and Mew.png|thumb|250px|left|{{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} in [[M01|the first movie]]]]
The Mew duo, so named because of their similar genetic structure and Mewtwo's origin as an enhanced clone of Mew, are a pair of catlike Pokémon which are believed by many to be among the most rare and powerful Pokémon that exist.

In the games, {{p|Mew}} is only mentioned in years-old journals found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} on [[Cinnabar Island]]. It was the first [[event]]-exclusive Pokémon, being otherwise available only by [[Mew glitch|glitching the game]] or [[cheating]]. One is available in the wild on [[Faraway Island]], an event area in {{game|Emerald}}, the only time it is legitimately able to be caught from the wild.

Mew appears in the anime in both [[M01|the first movie]] and [[M08|the eighth movie]]. In the first, it appears to fight against Mewtwo, while in the second, its status as the Pokémon from which life began is explored.

In the games, {{p|Mewtwo}} is revealed to have been cloned from Mew in the journals in the Pokémon Mansion. Unlike most Pokémon, however, Mew gave live birth to Mewtwo, rather than laying an {{pkmn|egg}} and Mewtwo hatching from it. Mewtwo was too powerful, however, and it escapes from the Pokémon Mansion, destroying it in the process. Mewtwo then makes its home in [[Cerulean Cave]], where all kinds of powerful Pokémon live.

In the anime, {{an|Mewtwo}} was featured prominently, appearing in several episodes of the [[original series]], [[M01|the first movie]], and [[Mewtwo Returns|the first special episode]]. Mewtwo's origin is slightly different as well, with [[Team Rocket]] boss [[Giovanni]] funding a group of scientists to create an enhanced clone of {{p|Mew}} for his own use. Though Mewtwo is initially a very angry Pokémon, viewing all humans as evil due to the acts of the scientists and Giovanni, eventually, when [[Ash Ketchum]] sacrifices himself to stop the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Mewtwo's heart softens, and he learns that some humans do care about their, and all, Pokémon. Meeting up with Ash again, Mewtwo is further shown that, although it is a genetically-enhanced clone of Mew, it and the other clones are no different than normal Pokémon, and because it erased Ash and his friends' memory at the end of their first meeting, realizes that Ash himself truly does care for others, even if he doesn't know them.

Mewtwo is known in the anime to travel around the world, traversing rooftops at night, and living its life free. It occasionally appears in anime openings, sometimes with Mew, and sometimes alone.

===Generation II===
More legendary Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation II]], adding six more for a running total of 11. The legendary Pokémon introduced in this generation down can be separated into three groups.

====Legendary beasts====
[[File:Entei Raikou Suicune.png|thumb|right|250px|{{ga|Lyra}} and [[Eusine]] discover the legendary beasts in the basement of the [[Burned Tower]].]]
Like the legendary birds of the previous generation, a second trio of similar types was introduced in the neighboring [[Johto]] region. These [[legendary beasts]], so named because their features are reminiscent of both {{wp|canine}} and {{wp|feline}} animals, were trapped in the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] when it was struck by lightning and burned to the ground, resulting in their death. The trio was revived by the power of {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and now [[roaming Pokémon|roam across the land]] because of their great power.

In the games, more than one of each exists, with only the trio that roams Johto after being discovered in Brass Tower's basement during [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] being that of the legend. Each was captured and changed into a [[Shadow Pokémon]] by [[Cipher]] in {{g|Colosseum}}, while one of the three, depending on the player's [[starter Pokémon]] choice, roams Kanto in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{p|Entei}} for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Raikou}} for {{p|Squirtle}}, and {{p|Suicune}} for {{p|Charmander}}.

In the anime, the legendary beasts did not appear together until [[M13|the thirteenth movie]], despite being introduced in Generation II. It appears that an initial plan for the three Johto-era {{pkmn|movie}}s was to have each feature one of the legendary beasts in a central role, with {{mov|Entei|Entei|3}} taking a central role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'' and {{mov|Suicune|Suicune|4}} taking the stage in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. This did not pan out, however, possibly due to the canning of Johto's {{p|Celebi}} plotline, and Raikou was relegated to a role in ''[[The Legend of Thunder]]'', featuring anime characters based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}}, rather than [[M05|the fifth movie]], which focused on legendary Pokémon from the then-upcoming [[Generation III]] instead.

Each of the beasts made an episodic appearance, as well, with Entei appearing in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', Raikou briefly appearing in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]'', and Suicune having the most prominence (as in the games) through its appearance in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'', and ''[[DP028|Drifloon On the Wind!]]''.

====Tower duo====
[[Image:Lugia_and_ho-oh.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Lugia and Ho-Oh]]
The first [[version mascot]]s that were also legendary Pokémon, {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are a pair of legendary birds which formerly resided in [[Ecruteak City]] atop tall towers, leading to their designation. However, when the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]], home of Lugia, was struck by lightning, it burned to the ground, and both flew away, Lugia to make its new home in the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ho-Oh to search the world for a pure-hearted Trainer. The two are thought to be as closely related as they are polar opposites, being based on the eastern legends of the {{wp|Fènghuáng}} and {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

In the games, Lugia does not play a central role in the Generation II storyline, instead being mentioned only as having lived in Ecruteak City before the Brass Tower burned. It is found in the Whirl Islands in the Generation II games and their {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|remakes}} if the player holds a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Silver Wing}}. It reaches prominence in the storyline of {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where [[XD001|one]] is corrupted by [[Cipher]] to become the ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]], unable to be purified. It is also available on [[Navel Rock]] in Generation III, as an event-exclusive legendary.

In the anime, Lugia is featured in a central role in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where it is revealed that {{Ash}} is the Chosen One who must help it to quell the fighting of the [[legendary birds]]. Another pair of them appeared when Ash and his friends traveled to the Whirl Islands in Johto, and through this, the anime revealed that legendary Pokémon could breed (this is untrue in the games, at least in captivity, likely to restrict players from getting a limitless number of them).

Ho-Oh has a much greater focus during Generation II, being named as the savior of the legendary beasts. It can be found, if the player has a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}, atop [[Bell Tower]] in the Generation II games and their remakes. It makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}}, as well, as a reward for purifying all Shadow Pokémon, and on [[Navel Rock]] like Lugia.

In the anime, {{an|Ho-Oh}} is notably the first legendary Pokémon that appeared (outside of the [[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master|opening animation]], at least), flying over a rainbow at the start of [[Ash Ketchum]]'s journey at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Ash has subsequently seen it several times over the course of his journey, but has never come face-to-face with it.

====Celebi====
[[Image:Celebi_Shrine.png|thumb|right|100px|Celebi on its shrine in [[Ilex Forest]]]]
Although it has no relation to Mew that has been revealed, {{p|Celebi}} was dubbed the "New Mew" when it was introduced in Generation II because of their similar size and stats, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. Unlike Mew, however, it was not believed to be the ancestor of all Pokémon, but merely the guardian of forests, traveling through time to make sure of their purity.

In the games, Celebi is available only by event, either directly (via [[trading]] or [[Mystery Gift]]), or, in {{game|Crystal}}, through an event involving the [[GS Ball]]. This made it the first event Pokémon that was able to be captured from the wild in the games after using an event-only item, something which would continue forward even to the current generation. Celebi also makes an appearance in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, but it is unobtainable.

In the anime, Celebi takes a central role in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' and ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. In the movie, one accidentally brings a young [[Professor Oak]] to the future when attempting to escape from a poacher, and is later captured in a [[Iron-Masked Marauder|Team Rocket member]]'s Dark Balls to be used to destroy the forest and rule the world. In the episode, another is attempting to heal after putting out a forest fire, and needs the help of Pokémon Ranger [[Solana]], as well as the anime's protagonists, to do so.

===Generation III===
Many more legendary Pokémon were added to the roster in [[Generation III]], with the ten new legendaries bringing the total to 21. At this point in the series, legendary Pokémon began to have a greater role in the storyline of the games, with the plot of the [[villainous teams]] introduced in this generation and the next involving the reawakening of ancient legendary Pokémon for the team's own use.

====Legendary golems====
[[Image:Regis.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regice}}, {{p|Registeel}}, and {{p|Regirock}}]]
This third trio of legendary Pokémon, based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend, featured minimally in Hoenn-region legend. Based on the three ancient ages of humanity, the ice age, the stone age, and the iron age, the [[legendary golems]] took a back seat among the legendaries introduced in their generation, and are sometimes referred to by fans derisively as the "legendary trash cans". Truly, this legendary trio, as well as its [[trio master|master]], {{p|Regigigas}}, feature the most complicated method of in-game availability, with puzzles made of [[braille]] in the Hoenn region being the keys to unlocking their mystery.

As complex as the method in which they are obtained is the legend of the golems, which is told in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and finally completed in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Long ago, an ancient Pokémon was said to have moved the continents into their present positions by pulling them with ropes. After it was finished, it created in its image three Pokémon: {{p|Regirock}}, from clay, {{p|Regice}}, from ice, and {{p|Registeel}}, from magma. Ancient people, seeing that the Pokémon was so powerful, sealed it away in [[Snowpoint Temple]], while those it had created were separated from it and taken to the Hoenn region, sealed in three chambers, and left in the hopes that one day, someone would unlock the chambers and be able to tame the three so as to tame Regigigas. They are available in the [[Desert Ruins]], [[Island Cave]], and [[Ancient Tomb]] in Hoenn, as well as the [[Rock Peak Ruins]], [[Iceberg Ruins]], and [[Iron Ruins]] in [[Sinnoh]] with an event {{p|Regigigas}}.

In the anime, the three legendary golems starred together guarding the [[Tree of Beginning]] in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', as well as members of {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s team in the Battle Frontier saga.

====Eon duo====
[[File:Latias Latios.png|thumb|220px|right|{{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}]]
Another of Hoenn's minor legendary Pokémon, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} do not feature a distinct legend behind them. Nonetheless, they are incredibly rare, with only one of the two available normally to players, and the other available through an event.

Latios and Latias take on counterpart availability in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as well as {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with Latios being a [[roaming Pokémon]] in Ruby and SoulSilver, and Latias doing the same in Sapphire and HeartGold. In Emerald, after the player has defeated the Elite Four, their mother will ask if the Pokémon mentioned on TV was red or blue, and depending on that, one of the two will be roaming Hoenn. The other member of the duo will be found on [[Southern Island]], accessible by [[Eon Ticket]], in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, and in [[Pewter City]], through the [[Enigma Stone]] event, in HeartGold and SoulSilver.

In the anime, Latios and Latias were the stars of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', where the two guarded the legendary city of [[Alto Mare]]. With a strong connection to the [[Soul Dew]], the two were responsible for protecting it from {{mov|Annie}} and [[Oakley]], who wished to steal it.

====Weather trio====
[[Image:GenIII_Battle.jpg|250px|thumb|right|A depiction of the cataclysmic battle between {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}]]
The trio of super-ancient Pokémon, known for their [[weather conditions|weather-related]] [[abilities]] as the [[weather trio]], serve as the [[version mascot]]s of {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and represent the three major components of the Earth: the hydrosphere, the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. Said to shape the land and sea, respectively, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are among the most powerful legendary Pokémon, while {{p|Rayquaza}} prevents the two from quarreling.

During the course of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]], depending on version, seek out Groudon or Kyogre, respectively, with the intention of awakening them to make more homes for Pokémon of the land or sea. Eventually, the plan goes awry, and the player is forced to defeat or capture the legendary to stop a global disaster. In {{game|Emerald}}, instead, both teams are on the loose, intending to awaken their respective legendary target, and only with interference by the player and {{p|Rayquaza}} does the fight end up resolved.

In the anime, Groudon and Kyogre appeared in the two-part episode consisting of ''[[AG096|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG097|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. In these episodes, Team Magma and Team Aqua finally succeed in awakening the two, as in the games, though their conflict is resolved very quickly, much to the chagrin of viewers. Rayquaza appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it fought against the pair of {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}.

====Jirachi====
[[File:385Jirachi anime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Jirachi}} in the anime]]
One of the two event legendaries of Generation III, {{p|Jirachi}} is known to grant wishes written on the tags on its head each time it awakens: once every millennium.

In the games, Jirachi has never had a concrete location tied to it, and it cannot be captured from the wild legitimately. However, several direct transfers have been present in the history of the franchise, most notably in the form of a bonus disc released as a preview of {{g|Colosseum}} which fixes the [[Berry glitch]] present in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.

Jirachi starred in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', where it befriended [[Max]] as the group attempted to keep it away from [[Butler]], a former [[Team Magma]] operative.

====Deoxys====
[[File:386Deoxys formes.png|thumb|right|{{p|Deoxys}} in its four Formes: Attack, Normal, Defense, Speed]]
A virus from space which mutated when shot by a laser, {{p|Deoxys}} was the first legendary Pokémon known to [[Form differences|change form]], taking different forms on in each of the [[Generation III]] games - Normal Forme in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Attack Forme in {{game|FireRed}}, Defense Forme in {{game|LeafGreen}}, and Speed Forme in {{game|Emerald}}, and being able to change them at will in the [[Generation IV]] games with special meteorites found in [[Veilstone City]] and on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.

In the games, Deoxys is only available on [[Birth Island]] when the [[AuroraTicket]] is downloaded to FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald, though as with all event legendary Pokémon, it has also been available through direct download via [[Mystery Gift]].

Deoxys featured heavily in the seventh Pokémon movie, ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where its Attack and Defense Formes were first revealed. One of the two {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} featured befriends a boy named [[Tory Lund]], who fears Pokémon otherwise and does not realize what Deoxys is, while the other seeks out the first, concerned for its safety. Another Deoxys featured in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'', where Deoxys's Speed Forme debuted in the anime.

===Generation IV===
Fourteen more legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation IV]], the most of any generation so far, bringing the total to a whopping 35. Many of the legendary Pokémon of this generation have little connection to the plot of the games, instead being minor, post-League sidequests for the player to go on. Seven of the 14 introduced, even, are not in Sinnoh's regional Pokédex, appearing only in the National Dex, a first for any Pokémon.

Prior to Generation IV, 680 had been the limit on a legendary Pokémon's [[base stat]] total: this limit was set by {{p|Mewtwo}} in [[Generation I]] and was only matched - never surpassed - in Generation II and Generation III. As of Generation IV, however, the most powerful of all Pokémon in terms of base stats is no longer Mewtwo or any of its equals, but {{p|Arceus}}, the supposed creator of the Pokémon universe.

====Lake guardians====
[[File:Mesprit Azelf Uxie anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Uxie}} together]]
The [[lake guardians]], [[Sinnoh]]'s native legendary trio, represent the spirit of all consciousness, with {{p|Uxie}} embodying knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} embodying emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} embodying willpower. According to legend, having been created by {{p|Arceus|the Original One}}, the trio have the power to tame the powerful dragons it also created.

In the games, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf are found in the caverns of [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Verity]], and [[Lake Valor]], respectively, though Mesprit will roam Sinnoh after the player has encountered it, rather than battle immediately as the other two will. The trio are captured by [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, [[Jupiter]], [[Mars]], and [[Saturn]], and subjected to the experiments of [[Charon]] to draw out the [[Red Chain]] from the gems in their bodies. Cyrus summons the legendary dragons of Sinnoh mythology, and alone, the lake guardians' power is not enough to stop {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. {{p|Giratina}} interferes and draws Cyrus into the Distortion World, where the lake guardians assist the player in navigation toward Giratina's lair.

In the anime, the lake guardians appeared, first in spirit form, in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals]]'', and ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', to {{an|Dawn}}, {{Ash}}, and {{an|Brock}}, respectively. They were captured by [[J]], who had been hired by [[Team Galactic]], in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'', and were freed by Ash, Dawn, and Brock to stop the power of Dialga and Palkia in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

====Creation trio====
[[file:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.jpg|180px|thumb|right|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina artwork from {{game|Platinum}}]]
The legendary creators of the Pokémon universe, the [[Creation trio]] consisting of {{p|Dialga}} of time, {{p|Palkia}} of space, and {{p|Giratina}} of antimatter, are, like the weather trio before them, the mascots of [[Sinnoh]]'s trio of games, {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

In the games, Dialga and Palkia are sought by [[Cyrus]] to destroy and then remake the universe without spirit, a thing he hates about humanity. At [[Spear Pillar]], one of the two will be able to be captured in Diamond and Pearl, depending on the game, while Giratina may be obtained after the Pokémon League has been conquered. In Platinum, however, Giratina interferes with Cyrus's planned destruction of the universe, and may be captured in its home, the [[Distortion World]], while Dialga and Palkia cannot be found until the Elite Four have been defeated.

In the anime, {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}} appeared together, fighting, in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', while Dialga and {{an|Giratina}} appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. The three appeared together, finally, in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Dialga and Palkia were also summoned at Spear Pillar and chained by Cyrus in ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', but were freed when he escaped into another universe and the Red Chain was shattered by Ash, Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon.

====Lunar duo====
[[Image:Darkrai-Newmoon_Island.png|thumb|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
A sidequest legendary and event legendary, respectively, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}} represent two phases of the moon with opposite connotations: Darkrai represents the {{wp|new moon}}, the cause of the darkest nights and bringer of nightmares, while Cresselia represents the {{wp|crescent moon}}, a sign of hope and good dreams.

In the games, Cresselia can be found on [[Fullmoon Island]] as part of a post-League quest to rid {{tc|Sailor}} Eldrich's son of a nightmare. It will flee immediately, roaming Sinnoh and leaving behind a [[Lunar Wing]], which will heal the boy. Darkrai is found on [[Newmoon Island]], accessible only with a [[Member Card]], and can only be obtained through an event.

The lunar duo made their debuts separately, with a {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} appearing in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', attempting to stop Dialga and Palkia's fight from destroying its home, [[Alamos Town]], and protecting [[Alice]], its friend. Cresselia first appeared in ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle]]'', where it fought briefly against a Darkrai.

====Sea guardians====
[[Image:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|right|{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}]]
The sea guardian Pokémon are a legendary duo that, like Mewtwo and Mew, is comprised of a parent and child. {{p|Manaphy}}, a legendary Pokémon that makes its home in warmer seas south of the known regions, bears {{p|Phione}} when bred in captivity in the known regions.

In the games, Manaphy can only be found through an event: either it may be transferred in its egg from one of the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger}} games after activating an event in those games, or can be directly received via various Mystery Gift events. Like Jirachi, it cannot be legitimately found in the wild. Phione, of course, must be bred from a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}}, making it the only legendary Pokémon available only through this method.

In the anime, Manaphy debuted in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', where, like in the games, it first appeared as an egg, and befriended {{an|May}}, who it regarded as its mother. It was the only Pokémon able to find the mysterious Temple of the Sea, [[Samiya]], and was regarded as the Prince of the Sea. For this, it was sought by [[the Phantom]], a pirate who wished to take the jewels of the Sea Crown deep in Samiya. Phione debuted under different circumstances, being found in [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]'', where they were revered as bringers of good luck.

Phione is disputed by many in its status as a legendary Pokémon, as its base stat total is lower than all other legendaries, while its availability compared to others is legitimately high, being able to be bred from a Ditto with either Manaphy or Phione as many times as a player would like. Even official sources have not been consistent, with [[Pokémon.com]] changing its status repeatedly, and official guidebooks alternately naming it as legendary or not. For all intents and purposes, it is regarded by Bulbapedia to not be legendary due to the latest official source.

====Heatran====
[[File:Heatran anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Heatran}} in the anime]]
{{p|Heatran}} is the embodiment of all volcanic activity, appearing in [[Stark Mountain]] in [[Sinnoh]], where it was said to have been born at the same time as Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina created Sinnoh at [[Spear Pillar]] and created the [[Battle Zone]]. Heatran is the first, and currently only, legendary Pokémon with a variable gender.

Heatran first appeared in the anime in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', under the control of [[Marcus]], and later appeared in ''[[DP169|Pokémon Ranger: Heatran Rescue!]]'' as part of a Pokémon Ranger rescue mission.

====Regigigas====
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|thumb|left|{{p|Regigigas}} in the anime]]
{{p|Regigigas}} is the master of the [[legendary golems]], having created them in ancient times.

In the games, Regigigas is found at [[Snowpoint Temple]], though it will not awaken unless all three of the legendary golems are in the player's party.

Regigigas appeared in the anime in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it attempted to stop a glacier from destroying [[Gracidea]]. Another appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', where it was hunted by [[J]] and defended by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

====Shaymin====
[[File:Seabreak path.png|thumb|right|{{p|Shaymin}} running down [[Seabreak Path]]]]
A legendary Pokémon that has the ability to purify areas instantly and bring plant life in abundance, {{p|Shaymin}} is referred to as the Mew of Generation IV. Unlike previous event legendaries with its straight-100 base stats, however, Shaymin has the ability to change forms, between Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In the games, like Darkrai, Shaymin is catchable in the wild after an event item has been obtained: this time [[Oak's Letter]], which requests the player's help on {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}. After giving thanks to someone or something, Shaymin will appear, and will be available to be caught at the end of the [[Seabreak Path]] that appears, in the [[Flower Paradise]].

Shaymin has a central role in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', when it, as well as its Sky Forme, were officially revealed. It also has a minor role in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'' involving [[Marley]].

====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|{{p|Arceus}} creates a Pokémon egg for {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}}]]
The final Pokémon of Generation IV and the most powerful known so far, {{p|Arceus}} is, according to legend, the creator of the Pokémon universe. Born of an egg in the chaos at the beginning, Arceus's powers were awakened immediately, and from itself it made time and space, matter and antimatter, and set {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} to guard them. It created spirit as well, setting {{p|Uxie}} in charge of knowledge, {{p|Mesprit}} in charge of emotion, and {{p|Azelf}} in charge of willpower, before falling into an eternal slumber.

Arceus can be awoken from its sleep using an [[Azure Flute]] at [[Spear Pillar]], which will open a staircase to its home, the [[Hall of Origin]]. There it can be captured, though no legitimate way of obtaining the Azure Flute has yet been released.

In the anime, {{an|Arceus}} starred in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it set out to destroy [[Michina]] and its people for their betrayal in ancient times. After changing history with the help of Dialga, Ash and his friends revealed to Arceus the true nature of human beings, and it left Michina in peace.

===Generation V===
Thirteen additional legendary Pokémon were added in [[Generation V]], the second largest addition to the ranks (one lower than [[Generation IV]]), totalling 48 legendary Pokémon. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} played a large role in the storyline of Black & White, with the respective mascot Pokémon being a neccesary and unavoidable capture to progress to the endgame. The rest of the Pokémon mattered little to the narrative progression and some are still unavailable legitimately, waiting instead on future events to unlock their existence.

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is found at the beginning of [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova's Pokédex]], being #000. Much like {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Shaymin}} before it, each of its base stats are 100. It is the first [[Generation V]] [[event Pokémon]] revealed and allowed to be obtained. It is said that a Trainer with a Victini will win anything no matter what.

====Musketeer trio====
{{p|Cobalon}}, {{p|Terrakion}}, {{p|Virizion}} are a trio of Pokémon based on the titular characters of the 1844 French novel ''{{wp|The Three Musketeers}}'', and partially on hooved mammals such as deer, oxen, and horses. According to legend, they protect Pokémon from having their habitats destroyed by humans and have been known to have attacked human castles during the Middle Ages. Like the Three Musketeers, they are considered a trio but have a fourth, younger member in the form of {{p|Keldeo}} who the other three rescued and raised after its home was destroyed by fire. All four of them can use their horns like swords, and learn their signature move, {{m|Sacred Sword}}, at level 42 (43 for Keldeo).

====Kami trio====
{{p|Voltolos}}, {{p|Tornelos}}, and {{p|Landlos}} are a trio of Pokémon based on Japanese deities; Fujin, god of wind, Raijin, god of thunder and lightning, and Inari, a fertility god. Together the three represent the heavens and the nourishing effect the sky has upon the earth.

====Tao trio====
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom anime.png|thumb|280px|Reshiram and Zekrom]]
{{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}} represent Yin and Yang, and balance. Originally, they were a single dragon that helped found the Unova region's nation. But fighting between the two brothers that founded the nation split them into two halves that constantly conflict with each other.

It is widely speculated that {{p|Kyurem}} is related to Zekrom and Reshiram due to reasons such as their types and names, in the same way Giratina turned out to be closely related to Dialga and Palkia.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} represents music and dance. Meloetta is similar to the Greek idea of a Muse, a goddess of creativity and inspiration.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is an experimental creature created by Team Plasma, under N, attempting to create the strongest Pokémon in existence by altering an ancient insect Pokémon with cybernetic upgrades. It uses special cassettes to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Buster}}.

==Trivia==
* In all but one of the games, there appears to only be one of every legendary Pokémon, but in the {{pkmn|anime}}, there is more than one of most legendaries. This may just mean that the creators of the game intended the {{player}} to only ever happen to meet one of them canonically, and in fact there are others elsewhere which the player does not encounter.
** This may be supported by the possibility of acquiring eggs of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Giratina}} in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Each generation has introduced at least one {{type2|Psychic}} legendary and one {{type2|Flying}} legendary, though the only Flying-type legendaries in Generation IV gain this type only in an alternate form.
* According to interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] in 2009, legendary Pokémon are the most difficult to design names for because Game Freak strives to make sure that the names of legendary Pokémon are universal across the different translations, so extra work must be put into their names to make sure that they work universally in all languages and don't conflict with anything else. This is consistent with the relatively small amount of legendaries who have had their names changed outside of Japan (a current number of six, the [[legendary birds]] and the [[lake guardians]]).
* As of [[Generation V]], aside from {{p|Arceus}}'s use of [[Plates]], there has never been a {{type|Poison}} legendary Pokémon.
* Only {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} have a battle theme that is shared with no other. {{p|Mew}} has its own battle theme; however, it is a remixed version of the normal [[Kanto]] wild battle theme.
* The legendary birds of Kanto are the most available wild legendary Pokémon, able to be caught in nine main series games each (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, LeafGreen, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver). The least available wild legendary Pokémon are {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Mew}}, which only appear in the wild in one game apiece; each encounter requires an [[event item]] to activate it. {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Darkrai}} may also count, as the event items for the two, though existent in the games' coding, were not released to players of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, with the Mystery Gift events only available for players of {{v2|Platinum}}.

History of Pokémon

ShinyPikachu: /* The future of Pokémon */ 14 not 13 movies

{{Featured}}
:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[Image:Satoshitajiri.jpg|right|frame|Satoshi Tajiri]]The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans over a decade from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice because it would give children the same thrill as he had.

==Early days==
[[Image:ShiMiy.jpg|thumb|left|Shigeru Miyamoto]]With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Link cable|Game Boy Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire, which led to the concept for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''. After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, the artist [[Ken Sugimori]]. Sprites of {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} appeared in Game Freak's [[Game Boy Camera]] in 1998.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/corp/report/fiscal2004.pdf (retrieved February 26, 2010)</ref> Sometime during development, Nintendo decided to change the name "Capsule Monsters" to "Pocket Monsters."

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[Image:Pokemon_green_box_ja.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon Green box art]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27th, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]]. Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20th, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The franchise also won many {{pkmn|manga}} interpretations, the first being ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' by [[Kosaku Anakubo]], which was first {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1|collected and published}} in November 1996 by [[Shōgakukan]]. This was chiefly a gag manga, using crude humor and slapstick, starring a trainer named [[Isamu Akai]] and his rude {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}}.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|anime}} series based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1st, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The anime quickly became very popular, and soon a manga series based on it named ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' was written by [[Toshihiro Ono]]. The {{vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1|first volume}} of the series was first published on October 28th, 1997. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'', {{PAV|1|the first volume of which}} was first published in Japan on August 8th, 1997. This is the longest running manga in Pokémon history, as it is still ongoing today, over twelve years later. Several other manga series were published in that era, including ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' and [[Miho Asada]]'s ''[[Pokémon Get da ze!]]''.

In addition to these manga series, [[Shogakukan]] also published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23rd, 1997. They also released a new manga series named ''Pokémon PiPiPi ★ Adventures'' (later translated to ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]''), authored by [[Yumi Tsukirino]], on March 28th, 1998. The main difference in this series was that is was aimed mainly towards girls.

On April 25th, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|''Pokémon Center'' store]] was opened in Tokyo, specializing in [[Pokémon merchandise]]. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many such stores were opened in later years, and today there are six different stores across Japan, as well as a subsection in the Nintendo World Store in New York.

===Conquering the world===
[[Image:Anime_Ash.png|thumb|left|Ash Ketchum in the original series of the anime]]North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the anime, in September 1998 (the anime on the 7th and the games on the 30th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9th, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' became the first [[Pokémon manga]] to be translated to English when [[VIZ Media]] started publishing it on September 28th, 1999.

Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful.

The {{pkmn|anime}}, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18th, 1998, ''[[M01|Pokémon the First Movie]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10th, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular anime and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12th, 1998 in Japan, October 25th, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with anime-style graphics for each Pokémon and a [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] by their side, following the anime's course of events.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18th, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10th, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled {{Card GB 2}}.

The anime, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as the most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history, turning it into the franchise's mascot. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12th, 1998, and in North America on November 6th, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let the players interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the anime finished following the games story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|filler season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Archipelago]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17th, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21st, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21st, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of [[Todd Snap]]) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27th, 1999.

On April 14th, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28th, 1999.

[[Image:Pokemon Live cover.png|thumb|right|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover art]]A sequel to {{Jap|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30th, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29th, 2000, and became known there as the original {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. The twist in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}} from the [[version|main series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

In September 2000, the anime-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, an anime-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of [[Giovanni]] when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[Image:JohtoII.png|thumb|left|A map of Johto]]Almost since the very beginning of the series, it had been apparent that the first 151 Pokémon would not be the last. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the anime]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} was owned by a {{an|Misty|main character}}, and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}} and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[M01|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[M02|the second movie]].

On November 21st, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous likely being the ability for Pokémon to have different [[gender]]s, in turn allowing them to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. A [[time]] system was also introduced, with a real-time clock allowing different events to happen during the day, at night, and in the morning, as well as on certain [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[happiness]] system. [[Shiny Pokémon]] also first appeared, most notably a [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that were present in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11th, 2000.

The anime followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14th, 1999 and in the US on October 14th, 2000. ''[[M03|Pokémon 3: The Movie]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8th, 2000 in Japan and on April 6th, 2001 in North America, featuring the legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called [[Neo Genesis]] featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in the United States on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21st, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4th, 2000.

On December 14th, 2000, a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan called {{g|Stadium 2}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25th, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[Versions|third version]] was made called {{game|Crystal}}, which was released in Japan on December 14th, 2000 and in North America on July 21st, 2001. Pokémon Crystal had several notable changes from Gold and Silver. {{p|Suicune}} was the [[version mascot]] and the focus of the plot. Crystal was also the first portable Pokémon game to feature animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received the added bonus of being able to trade, battle, and even obtain the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Celebi}} wirelessly by using a cell phone to connect to the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]]. Trainers were also, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Anime and manga in GS===
[[File:PokemonAdv08.png|thumb|right|Volume 8 of the Pokémon Adventures manga]]On December 30th, 2000, the first feature-length special of the Pokémon anime was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5th, 2001.

In June 2000, a {{pkmn|manga}} series by [[Muneo Saitō]] titled ''[[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]'' was published in Japan. This manga followed the plot of the [[Generation II]] games, before abruptly ending after three volumes with very little resolution. Another new manga series by [[Takashi Teshirogi]] based on the anime's new seasons called ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'' was published on Febuary 26th, 2001.

Another anime movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7th, 2001, and in North America on October 25th, 2002. It featured two [[legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8th, 2001, when {{PAV|8}} was published in Japan, starting [[Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|a new chapter]]. This chapter was much longer than the previous chapters of the series, lasting no less than 7 full volumes. Additionally, this is the only volume to share its release date with future volumes in Japanese, being that the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|two]] [[Pokémon Adventures volume 10|after]] it were published at the same time.

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[legendary beasts]] yet to be featured in an anime movie, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30th, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13th, 2002, the fifth and last movie of the [[original series]], ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16th, 2003.

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[Image:EP205.png|left|thumb|The first Kecleon]]In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the anime aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon never previously seen - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}} and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in 2 [[PK11|Pikachu]] [[PK12|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[M05|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through this, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the main game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21st, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18th 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent being [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[double battle]]s, Pokémon [[Ability|abilities]] and [[nature]]s for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also introduced in these versions were more detailed [[weather conditions]] and two new [[villainous teams]], [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the extensive changes to the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

The anime began a new series, {{series|Advanced Generation}}, which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games and reached North America almost a year later. A great deal was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19th, 2003 in Japan and on June 1st, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17th, 2004 in Japan and on January 22nd, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of the anime, such as {{an|Misty}}, {{An|Brock}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31st, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18th, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30th 2003 in Japan, July 11th 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13th, 2003. It focused on a TV-broadcasting network airing a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player playing the role of the test audience. The game also included a unique anime episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Pokémon Channel reached North America on December 1st, 2003.

On July 28th, 2003, {{PAV|15}} of the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga was first published, starting [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|another chapter]], this one following the third generation's story. This was the first chapter in the series not to feature previously introduced characters. Other manga series, such as ''[[Ash and Pikachu]]'', have also moved into the RS era around the same time.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1st, 2003 in Japan and on August 23rd, 2003 in North America.

The ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' manga series received a third generation sequel in ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', the {{vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|1|first volume of which}} was first released on September 25th, 2003. ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]'' has also received a sequel in the form of ''[[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]]'', first published on December 29th, 2003.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21st, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The game's main addition to the growing [[Pokémon universe]] was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[Image:Pokemon_FireRed_boxart_EN-US.jpg|thumb|right|Pokémon FireRed Version box art]]On January 29th, 2004, two new [[version|games]] were released in Japan: {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. They arrived in North America on September 9th, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}} which brought the games up to Generation III standards, as well as adding wireless connectivity (through a [[GBA Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] for the Game Boy Advance) and a new region — the [[Sevii Islands]]. These games also gave the [[Event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} [[Form differences|two additional forms]], which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys to a {{v2|FireRed}} or {{v2|LeafGreen}} cartridge.

Not yet finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to complement Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, {{game|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16th, 2004, and in North America on May 1st, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connectivity as FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as an updated version of Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, the ability to re-battle Gym Leaders, an altered plot, and animations for all Pokémon, as in Crystal Version.

The {{pkmn|anime}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16th, 2005) and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15th, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, {{PAV|22}} of the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' was published, starting the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, {{PAV|26}} started the {{chap|Emerald}}. Another short manga series called ''[[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]'' was written by [[Shigekatsu Ihara]], focusing on the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2nd, 2004 and in North America on March 14th, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games made for the [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4th, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3rd, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20th, 2005 in Japan and on March 6th, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28th, 2005 in Japan and 3 days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[Image:Ranger_box.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger box art]]A new style of play saw light on November 17th, 2005, with [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] — a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] — in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon. The games, released in North America on September 18th, 2006, received adaptations in the anime episode ''[[SS019]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23rd, 2006. This time, players didn't play as regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in North America on October 30th, 2006. The game was also promoted in the anime through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|the main series]], [[AG171|a special episode]] and [[M09|the ninth movie]], and in a short [[Pokémon Ranger - the Comic|manga series]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Pokémon's tenth anniversary]], and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''[[Pokémon X]] - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29th, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|anime}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13th to October 31st, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by {{wp|Kaiyodo}}. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Diamond and Pearl===
[[Image:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|right|A poster for the Diamond & Pearl anime series]]Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon — {{p|Munchlax}} — in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[M07|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the main anime]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[M08|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[M09|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} — a new [[legendary Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28th, 2006, and in North America on April 22nd, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered a pseudo-3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, visible [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

The anime {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14th, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24th, 2008 on North American televisions. The second part, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' premiered in Japan on July 19th, 2008, and aired on February 13th, 2009 on North American televisions. The third and final movie of the trilogy, ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', premiered on July 18th, 2009 in Japan, has aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on November 20th, 2009.

A new [[Diamond & Pearl (TCG)|TCG set]] was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the United States on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[Image:PBRAmerican.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution box art]]On December 14th, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25th, 2007.

Several manga series were written for the fourth generation. The first volume of ''{{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}'', the new sequel of ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' and ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', was published in Japan on January 26th, 2007. One month later, on February 27th, [[Shigekatsu Ihara]]'s ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' was first published.

The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|paired sequels for]] [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] for [[Nintendo DS]] were released in Japan on September 13th, 2007 and in North America on April 20th, 2008. Just like before, [[SS020|an anime adaptation]] was also produced and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blazing Exploration Team|a manga series]] was published.

{{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s were also brought into the fourth generation in a sequel called {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, set in the new land of [[Almia]]. It was released in Japan on March 20th, 2008 and in North America on November 10th, 2008. [[DP071|Anime]] [[DP072|special]] were also produced and aired on the same day as the Japanese release, and a [[Pokémon Ranger Batonnage - the Comic|short manga]] was posted as a webcomic on the Japanese Pokémon website. In March 6, 2010, another Ranger game, {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} was released in Japan. The new game set in the [[region]] of [[Oblivia]] was followed by [[SS022|several]] [[SS023|anime]] [[DP169|specials]].

Like with Pokémon Box in Generation III, a storage game titled [[My Pokémon Ranch]] was released on March 25th, 2008 in Japan and on June 9th, 2008 in North America, featuring the character of [[Hayley]].

Another manga series, [[Miho Asada]]'s ''[[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]]'' was collected and published on March 28th, 2008. ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' then started its {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} with {{PAV|30}} on December 25th, 2008.

The third [[version]] of [[Generation IV]], {{v|Platinum}}, was released on September 13th, 2008 in Japan and on March 22nd, 2009 in North America, bringing new [[Form differences|Pokémon forms]] into the ring for {{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Rotom}}, as well as updates similar to those found in Pokémon Emerald.

{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} was followed by a third version, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], which was released in Japan on April 18th, 2009. Just like the third versions of the main series, Explorers of Sky had additional content. [[SS021|Another anime adaptation]] was produced as well. [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Another set of games]] of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series was also produced for WiiWare, released in Japan on August 4th, 2009.

===Johto's Heart and Soul===
[[File:LugiaLEGENDHeartGoldSoulSilver113.jpg|thumb|150px|right|{{TCG ID|SoulSilver Collection|Lugia LEGEND|29}}]]Ever since the [[Generation III]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|games}}, Pokémon fans have widely speculated that remakes of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, would be made for [[Nintendo DS]]. Indeed, the paired remakes, titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, were eventually released in Japan on September 12, 2009, and were released in the United States on March 14, 2010. The games were referred to in the {{pkmn|anime}} in [[DP143|an episode]] that featured {{an|Lyra|the counterpart of the new player character}} and the three starter Pokémon of [[Johto]], {{TP|Dawn|one of whom|Cyndaquil}} even joined the regular cast. {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver|A new expansion set}} for the TCG was also released to celebrate the new games.

A new game for the Wii: [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], was released on December 5, 2009. The game was released in North America and Europe in the spring of 2010.

==Generation V==
===A Fresh Start===
[[File:Pokemon White Boxart JP.png|thumb|left|Pokémon White box]]On February 7, 2010, [[Pokémon Sunday]] revealed a new Pokémon: {{p|Zoroark}}. [[Generation V]] was dawning, and it quickly became clear that even though the new games, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions]], would again be on the Nintendo DS platform, everything about them will be quite new. In an unexpected move, Nintendo revealed that no old Pokémon would be available this time around until after the story is over, effectively giving both new and old Trainers in [[Unova]], a region based on New York rather than Japan, a completely fresh experience. On September 18, 2010, when the games were released in Japan, {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|156 new Pokémon}} were introduced, making this the biggest Pokémon generation yet.

The anime was quick to follow in a new series, {{series2|Best Wishes}}. Similar to the original series, Ash's companions this time around are two Gym Leaders: {{an|Dent}} and {{an|Iris}}.

==The future of Pokémon==
The history of the Pokémon media franchise already spans long over a decade, and is rich with five [[generation]]s, many [[version|main series games]], [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]], a {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, four series of {{pkmn|anime}} complete with 14 {{pkmn|movie}}s, many series of {{pkmn|manga}}, [[Pokémon Live!|a musical]], and plenty of {{cat|music}}, but it is far from over.

Even though [[Generation V]] has just begun, it is widely believed that it's far from being the last one. The new generations to come will probably extend the Pokémon universe in similar fashion as the older generations did, with new Pokémon, new regions, new characters and features. However, nothing can be certain. Only time can tell.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Bertha_Hippowdon.png|right|thumb|250px|[[Bertha]]'s Hippowdon]]
Hippowdon made its anime debut in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''. This Hippowdon was the father of the {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}} that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} rescued in [[DP044|''Mass Hip-Po-Sis!'']]. [[Dr. Namba]] charged [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] with the job of obtaining a sample of the sand that Hippowdon shoots out.

[[Jessie]] used a Hippowdon in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]

[[Bertha]]'s Hippowdon appeared in ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' where it was used in a battle against [[Ash's Torterra]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP065|Hippowdon|Dawn's Pokédex|Hippowdon, the Heavyweight Pokémon. It creates an enormous {{m|Sandstorm|tornado of sand}} by blowing sand out of the holes in its body, and its mouth is over 6 feet in diameter.}}
{{Animedexbody|DP170|Hippowdon|Ash's Pokédex|Hippowdon, the Heavyweight Pokémon. As surprisingly fierce Pokémon, Hippowdon opens its giant mouth to intimidate adversaries.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
A {{pkmn2|wild}} Hippowdon first appeared in ''[[PS361|VS. Bibarel and Hippopotas]]'', where [[Dr. Footstep]] set up a sticky carpet to collect its footprint, "finally" succeeding in extracting one from a Hippowdon. This, however, earned the ire of the Pokémon, which proceeded to send him and the [[Diamond (Adventures)|three]] [[Pearl (Adventures)|Sinnoh]] [[Platinum (Adventures)|trainers]] flying with its {{m|Sand Tomb}}. As a result, Diamond and Platinum landed in the outskirts of [[Lake Verity]], away from Pearl and Footstep, and promptly had to face two [[Super Nerd]]s hired by [[Team Galactic]] to drive out intruders.

==Trivia==

* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], both Hippowdon and Hippopotas have the same recruit rate, something rarely found with Pokémon of the same evolutionary line.
* In [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]], Hippodown's shiny form is available to be used in the Battle Factory.
===Origin===
Hippowdon is based on a {{wp|hippopotamus}}.
====Name origin====
Hippowdon's name is derived from ''hippopotamus'', either ''power'', ''powder'' (as in sand), or possibly the onomatopoeia "''Pow!''", and the suffix ''-don'' which can be taken to mean "tooth" or "lord".
Kabarudon's name is derived from the Japanese word 河馬 ''kaba'', hippopotamus, which it is based on, and the aforementioned ''-don''.

'''Happiny''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピンプク''' ''Pinpuku'') is a {{type2|Normal}} {{pkmn2|baby}} [[Pokémon]].

She [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Chansey}} when [[level]]ed up while holding an [[Oval Stone]] during the day, who evolves into {{p|Blissey}} via [[happiness]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Happiny is a small Pokémon that is shaped like an egg. A Happiny has a soft, smooth light pink body. At the top of her head is a curly pigtail-like outgrowth that looks like hair, but has the same color and texture as her body. She has three round bumps on her forehead. Unlike her evolved forms, whose pouches are small and on their stomachs, her pouch surrounds the lower half of her body. In fact, it ''is'' the lower half of her body. The pouch resembles a diaper. It is red with a white stripe around its top. The pouch is rubbery and flexible, enabling the Happiny to put things into it with ease. Happiny are still babies and they cannot produce eggs yet. To make up for this, a Happiny will carry a white egg-shaped stone in her pouch to imitate {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}}. However, if a Happiny carries an {{evostone|Oval Stone}}, she will be capable of evolving and then will be able to lay eggs of her own.
====Gender differences====
Happiny is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Happiny are shown to be extremely strong. {{OP|Brock|Happiny}} has been seen lifting very heavy things above her head. Additionally, Happiny's [[field move]] in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Crush, may also link to this.

===Behavior===
Happiny has a fascination for anything white and round. As such, she has the aforementioned habit of carrying a smooth white stone in her pouch to imitate her evolved forms. She may cry if she doesn't have a stone to hold. This usually occurs after birth, because all Happiny are born without stones in their pouches.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Happiny.png|thumb|{{TP|Brock|Happiny|Chansey}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====Brock's Happiny====
{{an|Brock}}'s {{pkmn|egg}} hatched into a {{TP|Brock|Happiny|Chansey}} in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. Unusually, in contrast to Happiny's extremely low Attack stat in the {{pkmn|games}}, it has amazing strength and can run with, pummel, and carry many heavy items and Pokémon for its size, such as having the ability to fling her trainer into the air with ease and carrying [[Ash's Grotle]] around in ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]''. It evolved into a Chansey in [[DP190]].

==Trivia==
* If the {{evostone|Oval Stone}} is counted as an [[evolutionary stone]], then Happiny is the only Pokémon that evolves with a stone that can evolve further.
* Happiny, along with Chansey, has the lowest base stat for both {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} in the games.
* Happiny is the fifth Pokémon to like round things; the first four being {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Quagsire}}, {{p|Spoink}}, and {{p|Sealeo}}.
* Happiny has the highest base [[experience]] yield of all Pokémon, tied with her evolutions ({{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}}) and {{p|Arceus}}.
* Happiny, and her evolution family, Chansey and Blissey, have the most in-game items associated with them (with the exception of {{p|Arceus}}). These include: {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Lucky Punch}}, {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Lucky Egg}}, {{DL|Incense|Luck Incense}}, and the {{evostone|Oval Stone}}.
* Happiny and the other members of her evolution family share the same abilities as both forms of {{p|Shaymin}}.
* Happiny bears a resemblance to a hoax Pokémon that was created on [[April Fool's Day 2005]].

===Origin===
Happiny shares a few characteristics with infants, such as her soft skin and diaper-like pouch.
====Name origin====
Pinpuku may be derived from the Japanese word ピンク ''pinku'', meaning ''pink'', the color that this Pokémon is, and 福 ''fuku'', good fortune. Happiny is derived from the words ''happiness'' and ''tiny''. It may also come from "happenstance", referring to chance.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Wonneira - From ''Wonne'' (joy) and ''Ei'' (egg).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ptiravi - From ''petit'' (little) and ''ravi'' (joy).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 핑복 ''Pingbok''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 好運蛋 ''Hǎo Yùn Dàn'' - "Fortunate egg". May come from the Japanese 福 ''fuku''.

Sailor (Trainer class)

2010-11-23T02:11:40Z

ShinyPikachu: Unova

A '''Sailor''' (Japanese: '''ふなのり''' ''Sailor'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. Originally they were often depicted as burly men in sailor suits flexing their muscles, though their sprites have become fatter and less muscular throughout the generations. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a sailor named [[Eldritch]] plays a minor part in the game's story-line.

They use a combination of {{type2|Fighting}} and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon. However, the Fighting-type Pokémon are almost always part of the {{p|Machop}} evolution family.

Bug Catcher (Trainer class)

ShinyPikachu: Unova

{{Samename|"Bug Catcher Pokémon" species|Carnivine (Pokémon)}}
A '''Bug Catcher''' (Japanese: '''むしとりしょうねん''' ''Bug Catcher Boy'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] games. They are generally depicted as little boys in hats, carrying nets and what appears to be their lunchboxes, or containers to keep caught bugs in, held by a strap after [[Generation II]]. Most Bug Catchers have been considered just hobbyists. Some Bug Catchers move around areas, and don't always stay in the the same place each day. Experienced Bug Catchers may become [[Bug Maniac]]s.

Bug Catchers are usually one of the first trainer classes encountered during the course of the games' storylines, mostly appearing on earlier [[route]]s. In [[Generation I]], Bug Catchers are the first trainer class that the player encounters. They first appear in the [[Viridian Forest]], while the last one is on {{rt|9|Kanto}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Bug Catchers appear again on the [[Sevii Islands]], in the [[Pattern Bush]]. In [[Generation II]], Bug Catchers appear on {{rt|30|Johto}}, but they are not the first trainer class seen in the game, and are actually more uncommon in this Generation than any other. In [[Generation III]], there are a few Bug Catchers, appearing between Routes {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}. The number of Bug Catchers in Generation III surpasses each other generation except the first. In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Bug Catchers don't appear until {{rt|204|Sinnoh}}, after the player defeats the first Gym Leader, which is unusually late in the game. There are only four Bug Catchers, most of them appearing in the [[Eterna Forest]]. There are no Bug Catchers in the [[Unova|Unova region]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Samurai.png|thumb|right|220px|[[Samurai]]]]
*Although no main characters directly based on Bug Catchers have appeared in the {{Pkmn|anime}}, {{Ash}} and [[Samurai]] both own bug catching nets. Samurai is a boy appearing as the [[character of the day]], who lives in [[Viridian Forest]] and dresses up in samurai armor. Like Bug Catchers, he specializes in {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon and has a bug-catching net. Samurai's sole appearance came in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''.

*In ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]'', a boy named {{ho|Marius}} strongly resembled the Bug Catchers in the game, but did not own any Bug-types.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:PSBug Catcher.JPG|thumb|left|The Pallet Town resident]]
A kid in [[Pallet Town]] appears in the [[PS001|first chapter]], who bears a resemblance to a Bug Catcher.

In ''[[PS012|Wake Up--You’re Snorlax!]]'', a Bug Catcher appeared during the bicycle race, alongside a [[Swimmer]] and {{Adv|Red}}. He owns a {{p|Scyther}} He took a shortcut through a small woods that was full of bug Pokémon. He later got stuck on {{rt|12|Kanto}} due to a sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} that was in the way. His number in the race was 31.

==Trivia==
* The first Bug Catchers battled in all [[Generation III]] games are named Rick.
* Many Bug Catchers and [[Bug Maniacs]] are named Brandon.

ShinyPikachu: /* Trivia */ Dive is an HM again

{{incomplete}}
[[Image:Fly_demo.gif|right|thumb|250px|HM moves, like {{m|Fly}}, have effects outside of battle.]]
A '''Hidden Machine''', '''HM''' for short (Japanese: '''ひでんマシン''' ''Secret Machine'') is an item that, like a [[TM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move.

The difference between a TM and an HM is most pronounced in the earlier games in the series, where TMs were single-use items while HMs could be used an unlimited amount of times after they were obtained. HMs, unlike TMs, could not be sold for money, and the moves contained within could not be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances.

All HM moves have the ability to be used outside of battle in the games they are HMs in, though a move's ability to be used outside of battle does not mean that it is necessarily an HM move. To be used outside of battle, specific [[Badge]]s must be obtained by the player to advance the game's storyline.

==Generation I==
In Generation I, five of the 165 moves are HM moves, and their use is essential for completing the game. Of these five, four of them remain as HM moves even in [[Generation V]], while the fifth, {{m|Flash}}, retains the ability to be used outside of battle to light dark caves.

None of these moves are able to be forgotten in Generation I, and a Pokémon with these moves cannot be raised by the [[Pokémon Day-Care]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

==Generation II==
In Generation II two new moves become HMs. The five from Generation I return, while a new move, {{m|Whirlpool}}, becomes one, and an old move, {{m|Waterfall}}, becomes another.

A [[move deleter]] was added to the games, mostly with the intention of making possible the ability to delete {{cat|Generation II moves}} that a {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} had learned in order to be able to trade it back, though with the side effect of HM moves now being able to be forgotten.

From this generation on, Pokémon with HM moves are allowed in the Day Care, and fathers with HM moves will pass the moves down to their children as they would a TM move. HM moves can also be used just by checking the obstacle that the HM will clear, such as {{m|surf}}able water or a movable rock.

==Generation III==
===Hoenn===
In Hoenn one of the Generation II HMs lost its status, while another move became the eighth HM.

===Kanto===
In Kanto, due to a lack of use for {{m|Dive}}, it was stripped of its HM status, though HM08 remains programmed into the game and can be hacked in to teach Dive. The first five HMs remain the same as Generation I, while HM06 and HM07 can be found in the [[Sevii Islands]] later in the game.

===Sinnoh===
In Sinnoh, for the first time, one of the original HMs lost its status to a new move, while HM08 was brought back as a different move.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|II}} and {{gen|V}}, all HMs only have one word in their names.
** Also, the only two HMs to date that have more than one word in their names are the only two to include "Rock" in their names despite not being {{type2|Rock}}.
* [[Ash's Grotle]] is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character of the anime to have used a current HM move, {{m|Rock Climb}}. [[Dawn's Piplup]], however, is known for his {{m|Whirlpool}}, which did not become an HM again until long after he had first used it (though debatably, other Pokémon may have used {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Fly}}, though they were not directly ordered to use the move).
* The only current HM moves that are able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up are {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Whirlpool}}. Former HMs, such as {{m|Flash}} and , are also learnable by level, but only since their loss of HM status.
* In Generation IV, all moves that were at one time an HM are learnable, with Flash available by [[TM70]] and Dive available by [[move tutor]]. Defog and Whirlpool, which replace each other in the [[Sinnoh]]- and [[Johto]]-based games, are both HM05.
* HM moves have so far been only of the {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Fighting}}-, {{t|Water}}-, and {{type2|Normal}}s.
*In {{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, on {{rt|20|Kanto}}, a Trainer states "{{m|Surf}} is no longer the only HM move you use in water" when he is defeated. This is a reference to [[Generation I]], where the only HM usable in the water was Surf.
* The only way to delete an HM move in the handheld games is to use the Move Deleter. HM moves ''can'' be replaced, however, in games where they are not HMs, such as {{g|Stadium 2}}, {{g|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, which allow any move to be replaced, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which allow {{m|Dive}} to be forgotten, and {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which allow {{m|Whirlpool}} and {{m|Defog}} to be forgotten, respectively.
* The HM moves {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} have been in every main-series [[Pokémon]] game.
** Flash is present in every main-series [[Pokémon]] game up until {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where it was replaced by Defog.
*[[Generation V]] is the first generation to have less HMs then the preceding [[Generation]].
*[[Isshu]] is the only region where the HM containing {{m|Waterfall}} is not obtained before arriving at [[Victory Road]] unless the [[Sevii Islands]] are counted as part of [[Kanto]].

The '''first generation''' of Pokémon games, known among older fans as the '''color generation''' due to the names of the [[version]]s released, is the initial set of four Pokémon games released.

Beginning with {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and later joined by third version {{v2|Blue| (Japanese)}} and special edition {{v2|Yellow}} in Japan, the Generation I games were developed beginning as early as 1990 from [[Capsule Monsters|an idea]] that [[Satoshi Tajiri]] had thought of and pitched to [[Nintendo]] with the help of [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. The inspiration for many of the key mechanics introduced in this generation came from Tajiri's childhood interest in bug collecting, with the [[trading]] system between two [[Game Boy]]s being thought of when he imagined a caterpillar crawling across the [[link cable]] between two systems.

This generation was localized into English, with initial attempts to keep the Pocket Monsters name for international use blocked due to the {{wp|Monster in my Pocket}} franchise leading to the release as "Pokémon". Further alterations made in the localization included the combination of Red, Green, and Blue into the English versions of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, using Red and Green's wild Pokémon encounter lists but Blue's slightly improved graphics. Despite this, the simultaneous release of the games and {{pkmn|anime}} led to an almost-overnight surge in popularity that raised [[Pokémon controversy|some parental concern]], often dubious, and cemented the Pokémon franchise firmly as a Nintendo mainstay alongside {{smw|Mario (series)|Super Mario}} and {{zw|The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda}}.

Two battle arena games were released in this generation: the mostly-incomplete [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]], which went unreleased outside of Japan and only allowed use of 42 Pokémon, and the improved {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, which featured several special battle modes and a [[Gym Leader Castle]] where players could take their fully-trained teams for matches against the Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]], and [[Champion]].

The storyline of the [[Kanto]] region is contemporaneous with the [[Hoenn]] story of [[Generation III]], as revealed by details in both the Hoenn-based games as well as the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|later remakes}} of Generation I. The storylines of the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games occur three years after this generation, with details about this link explicitly noted throughout the [[Johto]]-based games.

==Gameplay==
Generation I introduced the key Pokémon gameplay elements which have remained to this day, as well as a system of game releases now considered by fans to be the "standard formula". While many of the features enjoyed in the more recent generations are later additions to the series, the following have their origins in Generation I:

*The {{player}} has a party of up to six {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with them, which can be used in {{pkmn|battle}} against opponent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s or [[wild Pokémon]].
*A [[PC]]-based [[Pokémon storage system]], made up of 12 boxes of 20 Pokémon each and developed by [[Bill]], a Pokémaniac, is available to store reserve Pokémon not in the party (up to 240 total).
*{{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 species of Pokémon}}, with many related to each other by way of [[evolution]].
*A complex {{pkmn|battle}} system, including:
**Five stats, HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special, which each Pokémon has. Different Pokémon have different stats, even among the same species.
**15 different [[elemental type]]s, which each Pokémon species has inherent to itself.
**165 unique [[move]]s, restricted to four per Pokémon, each with its own elemental type, [[accuracy]], and base [[power]].
*The [[Pokémon League]] challenge, consisting of [[Kanto]]'s eight [[Pokémon Gym]]s, scattered across the region with each specializing in a different type, and the [[Elite Four]] and [[Pokémon champion]], awaiting challengers at the [[Indigo Plateau]].
*A [[link cable|linked]] [[trade]] and battle system between two [[Game Boy]] systems, allowing players to exchange Pokémon they caught for a Pokémon owned by another person or to battle against each other to test their skills.

==Regions==
===Kanto===
[[File:Kanto-map.jpg|thumb|right|Kanto]]
{{main|Kanto}}
Generation I introduced the first [[region]] to the Pokémon series, which, though unnamed in the original English games, is named in Japanese as Kanto, after the {{wp|Kanto|region of Japan it is based on}}. The name has since passed into English, first being used in [[Super Smash Bros.]], and subsequently being noted in all games since.

====Starter Pokémon====
At the outset of the player's journey, he will have no Pokémon on hand, and venturing outside of [[Pallet Town]] is impossible, as [[Professor Oak]] will stop him and bring him back to his lab, where three Pokémon await both the player and his rival.

The starters of the Kanto region began the three-type trio that is still followed in Generation V of {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, with the player's choice being of {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}. Much as in later generations as well, the [[rival]] will choose whichever of the three has the type that is super effective against that of the player.

The choice of a starter can make the beginning few {{pkmn|Gym}}s change in difficulty, but does not affect much in the long run aside from the rival's party. Bulbasaur is known by many to be the easiest to start with, as its Grass-type weakens the first two Gyms and resists the attacks of the third. Squirtle is known as the second easiest, as Water-types also weaken the first Gym, however, it can prove difficult mid-game if the player has not caught a Pokémon that can resist the later Gyms. Charmander is widely regarded as the hardest of the trio, as Fire-type moves do little damage against the first Gym's Pokémon, and there are few opportunities for capture of a Pokémon that can counterbalance its weaknesses against the first several Gyms.

In {{game|Yellow}}, instead of the normal trio found in Red, Green, and Blue, players can only start with the {{type2|Electric}} Pikachu, which likewise has difficulty with the first Gym. The rival will take Oak's Eevee and evolve it into one of its three [[Evolutionary stone|stone]]-based evolutions depending on the results of the player's battles against him.

====Gym Leaders====
The eight Kanto [[Gym Leader]]s each specialize in a different type of Pokémon. Each gives out a [[badge]] and a [[TM]] on their defeat.

==Discussion of Generation I==
When the games were first released, despite their inferior graphics and sound compared to other games of the time, they were revolutionary, firmly rooting the Pokémon series as one of [[Nintendo]]'s mainstays alongside Mario and The Legend of Zelda.

Throughout the five generations so far, Pokémon has continued to build on the successes of Generation I's system, while addressing the drawbacks and errors made in the development of the games. Many of the Pokémon world's standards were set in the first generation, including the first five [[HM]]s, all of which, with the exception of {{m|Flash}}, remain tools required for the game's completion in [[Generation IV]].

Not only were gameplay aspects of the world set in Generation I, but also the storyline aspects. Each region since Kanto has had a local [[Pokémon Professor]] named after a tree who gives the player a [[starter Pokémon]], an [[villainous teams|evil team]] whose goal is to rule the world, and many other things that are now integral to being a [[version|main series]] game.

The games proved popular enough that, eight years after their original release, they received [[remake]]s in the form of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the original versions are incompatible with [[Generation III]] and onward.

===Kanto thematic motif===
The first generation of Pokémon games were more directed towards genetics and engineering. The three starters, {{p|Bulbasaur}} (dinosaur-plant hybrid), {{p|Charmander}} (salamander), and {{p|Squirtle}} (turtle), are all reptilian in nature, and take some elements from the dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are reptiles, and were one of the most successful groups of animals to exist. Bulbasaur, the most similar to dinosaurs of the three, is the first listed in the Pokédex. Other Pokémon in the generation continue this theme. {{p|Eevee}} is capable of evolving into multiple forms due to its unstable DNA; {{p|Voltorb}} is the result of a Poké Ball experiment gone awry; {{p|Porygon}} is a virtual reality Pokémon. These games also introduce three fossils, the most introduced of any generation, which can be resurrected into prehistoric Pokémon: {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Omanyte}}. Finally, out of the five legendaries that appeared, the most powerful was man-made through genetic engineering: {{p|Mewtwo}}. It remains one of only two legendary Pokémon created through artificial means; {{p|Genesect}} being the other. The uncatchable legendary, {{p|Mew}}, also has the DNA of every Pokémon in existence.

[[Bill]] himself invented the sophisticated PC used in most regions, and accidentally turned himself into a Pokémon. {{p|Ditto}} could also mimic the abilities and structure of any Pokémon it encountered, making it capable of breeding with most Pokémon from Generation II and onwards. The [[Master Ball]] is the most powerful Poké Ball in the franchise, and was first engineered by Kanto scientists as well. With this generation the very foundation of the Pokémon franchise, most successors have only expanded upon Kanto's basics such as trading, leveling-up and stone evolution.

==Trivia==
*Excluding FireRed and LeafGreen, as they are remakes, Generation I is the only generation so far whose [[Version mascot|mascots]] are non-[[legendary Pokémon]].
*As far as release dates go, Generation I is the shortest generation in North America, partly due to the fact that Red and Blue were not released until 1998, while in Japan, they were released in 1996, and their successors, Gold and Silver, were released closer together, in 1999 in Japan and 2000 in North America. As the rest of the world's releases are more similar to the North American releases than the Japanese releases, it is also the shortest generation worldwide.
*Generation I has the most amount of [[glitch Pokémon]] which are known to be obtainable without the use of an external device.
*Generation I has the most extra space in the Pokémon storage system if the player captures one of each Pokémon, with 240 spots available for 151 Pokémon, leaving 89 extra spots.
*Generation I is the only generation not to feature the paired versions' mascots on the title screen, but instead includes the first evolution stage of two starter Pokémon.
*Generation I is the only generation without a playable female character.

'''Misty's Togetic''' (Japanese: '''カスミのトゲチック''' ''Kasumi's Togechick'') was the sixth Pokémon {{an|Misty}} obtained in the [[Kanto]] region.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Togegg.jpg|thumb|left|Togepi's egg]]
Togepi was found as a [[Pokémon egg]] by {{Ash}} in [[Grampa Canyon]] in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{MTR}} fought over the egg and competed to determine who would be the eventual owner. When the egg hatched into {{p|Togepi}}, the first thing it saw was Misty, and it chose her as its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, thinking that she was its mother.

Although Togepi appeared harmless, it sometimes used {{m|Metronome}} to get out of dangerous situations. The first time it happened was in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]]'s {{p|Drowzee}} was using Metronome to attack Ash and his friends. Misty's Togepi began using it, causing an explosion that sent Butch and Cassidy flying. It happened again in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''. A {{p|Rhyhorn}} was about to charge the group when Togepi used Metronome to use {{m|Teleport}}. It also used the move later in the episode to stop a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack by a {{p|Nidoking}} by using {{m|Reflect}}.

Despite the fact that Misty knew Togepi could battle, she only used it one time to battle Ash. In ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'', Ash was using his {{AP|Pikachu}} to battle Misty for ownership of a {{AP|Totodile}}. Misty used Togepi, because she knew Pikachu would never attack it, as Pikachu would often babysit it. Using {{m|Charm}}, she ended up defeating Pikachu.

As a Togepi, it was sometimes mischievous. Despite being a baby, it would often wander away from the group and get itself and Pikachu into dangerous situations, usually resulting in Pikachu getting hurt but Togepi walking away unharmed. It was also very friendly towards other Pokémon, particularly ones that were small, young, and/or {{pkmn2|wild}}. The most notable were a {{p|Voltorb}} in ''[[EP114|The Underground Round Up]]'', a {{p|Sentret}} in ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', and, much to Misty's dislike, a {{p|Caterpie}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

In the Christmas specials, Togepi was seen Running away form pikachu and found the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} back to its family. It was also seen making the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman. it was also seen in the special episodes in Misty's arms.

[[Image:AG045.png|thumb|left|As a Togepi]]
[[Image:MistyTogeBye.png|thumb|250px|Misty and Togetic saying their farewells]]
As Ash, Brock, May, and Max met Misty near the gate to the [[Mirage Kingdom]] in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'', it was kidnapped again by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth, who were temporarily working for [[Colonel Hansen]], a crooked Mirage Kingdom official. Colonel Hansen wanted to get his hands on Misty's Togepi so he could rule the Mirage Kingdom. Since Colonel Hansen is an impure-hearted person, his taking over the Mirage Kingdom would destroy the [[Togepi Paradise]].

Togepi later evolved into a Togetic in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' in order to protect the other Togepi. When Togetic was injured by Colonel Hansen, Misty promptly sent out her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and defeated Hansen's Shedinja with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. After seeing the damage Hansen had done trying to reach the Mirage Kingdom, Misty respected her Togetic's decision to stay behind and {{pkmn2|released}} it, so it could protect the Kingdom, the Togepi Paradise, and the Togepi who lived there.

==Trivia==
* Before Misty hatched her {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, Togetic was the only Pokémon she owned that was not of the {{type2|Water}}. However, {{p|Azurill}} evolves into a Water-type Pokémon.
* Togetic is the first anime Pokémon hatched from an egg that could evolve twice (later followed by [[Ash's Larvitar]], [[Brock's Happiny]], and [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]), though it was not able to do so when it was last seen, as Togekiss was not introduced until Generation IV.
* It is currently the only Pokémon that officially belonged to a main character despite never having been placed in a Poké Ball.
* Togetic is so far the only [[walking Pokémon|out-of-Ball Pokémon]] in the anime that has evolved.
* As a Togepi, it was the second [[Generation II]] Pokémon seen in the anime. As a Togetic, it is the most recent to make its anime debut, and would become the second most recent if {{p|Porygon2}} ever makes its own [[EP038|unlikely]] episode debut.

'''Curse''' (Japanese: '''のろい''' ''Noroi'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Before [[Generation V]], it was a {{type2|???}} move, and the only move of that type.

==Effect==
===Generations II-IV===
Curse is a {{type2|???}} move.
====Ghost-type Pokémon====
The user will lose half of its maximum {{stat|HP}} and put a curse on the target. A cursed Pokémon will lose ¼ of its maximum HP at the end of each turn. The user can cause itself to faint.

Also, in [[Generation II]], defeating the opponent will prevent the Pokémon it is used on taking damage from Curse on that turn.

====Non Ghost-type Pokémon====
The user's {{stat|Speed}} stat will drop by one stage and its {{stat|Attack}} stat and {{stat|Defense}} stat will rise by one stage each.

===Generation V===
Curse is a {{type2|Ghost}} move.

==Trivia==
* In Japanese, the word のろい ''Noroi'' can mean either "curse" (呪い) or "dull/slow" (鈍い), depending on the kanji used. This is fitting with its nature in the games, being an actual curse if used by Ghost-types, but instead lowering the Speed of a non-Ghost-type Pokémon. This is likely also why the {{p|Slowpoke}} family is just as well known for the move as Ghost-type Pokémon are.
* In [[Generation II]], three Pokémon could legitimately use both effects of the move by using {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}} to alter its own type to and from the {{t|Ghost}} type: {{p|Porygon}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, and {{p|Smeargle}}. Many Pokémon can make use of {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Role Play}} to copy the ability {{a|Color Change}} and become a Ghost-type to pull off the strategy as well.
* Curse is one of five moves to change type between Generations, along with {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Gust}}, {{m|Karate Chop}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}}.
**Of these moves, Curse is the only one which doesn't change type in [[Generation II]].
* In [[Generation II]], [[TM03]] is given away by a strange man telling a weird story: 
''"Let me recount a terrifying tale... Once upon a time, there was a little boy who was given a new Bicycle... He wanted to try it right away... He was having so much fun that he didn't notice the sun had set... While riding home in the pitch-black night, the bike suddenly slowed! The pedals became heavy! When he stopped pedaling, the bike began slipping backwards! It was as if the bike were cursed and trying to drag him into oblivion! ... ... Shrieeeek! The boy had been riding uphill on Cycling Road! ... Ba-dum ba-dum! For listening so patiently, you may take this—TM03! TM03 is Curse. It's a terrifying move that slowly whittles down the victim's HP."''

'''Brock's Croagunk''' (Japanese: '''タケシのグレッグル''' ''Takeshi's Gureggru'') was the first [[Pokémon]] {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and the ninth overall. His Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' and his English voice actor is [[Bill Rogers]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Brock Croagunk Drag.png|Croagunk pulling {{an|Brock}} away after {{m|Poison Jab|jabbing}} him|thumb|250px|left]]
Croagunk was first seen resting outside a supermarket in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]''. When {{MTR}} emerged from it, Croagunk followed him to where [[Team Rocket]] was using a fake [[gym]] to steal unsuspecting {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Pokémon. Their plan was going badly as it required [[Jessie]] to win, but her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} kept losing, so she decided to use Croagunk and soon won many {{pkmn|battle}}s.

After {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} entered the gym, Croagunk lost against {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}. Team Rocket resorted to grabbing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and running off, leaving Croagunk behind in the process. Brock was the first to notice Croagunk, and, feeling a connection, Croagunk later willingly went into Brock's [[Poké Ball]].

Like {{TP|Brock|Brock's Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, Croagunk has attacked Brock in order to continue the series' running gag of keeping Brock away from the girls who are the objects of his affection, to the point that even Croagunk's presence can be sensed by Brock, which may make Brock suddenly halt his romantic advances. When forcefully dragging Brock away from girls, he usually uses {{m|Poison Jab}}, which usually makes Brock suddenly collapse so Croagunk can easily drag Brock away. However, when Brock pledged to save [[Oralie]]'s {{p|Magikarp}} and [[Haley]]'s {{p|Feebas}} in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', Croagunk jabbed Brock, which caused {{an|Dawn}} to remark that Croagunk may have gone too far. Croagunk generally chuckles or laughs after attacking Brock, so it is possible that he actually enjoys attacking Brock. However, Croagunk has also protected Brock from harm, such as falling off a bridge in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and from Saturn's Toxicroak's {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.
[[Image:Croagunk Politoed.png|Croagunk's {{pkmn|cosplay|impression}} of a {{p|Politoed}}|thumb|200px]]
He has some unique characterization, as he acted alone many times. His actions were sometimes part of an episode plot. He has a unique fighting style, as shown in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]'', by defeating {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} by repeatedly using {{m|Brick Break}} while Seviper was using {{m|Bind}} on him, eventually ending in a draw.

Croagunk has been shown to have his own pace for things like eating, attacking, or following Brock. Similar to {{AP|Ash's Treecko|Sceptile}}, he is also a bit of a loner, preferring to sit alone when eating or just resting. Although he is seen mostly angry or without any emotion, he was seen happy in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. In ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]'', he didn't like the sweet taste of [[honey]], which may imply his [[nature]] is brave, quiet, or relaxed.

He is a very powerful Pokémon, as demonstrated in [[DP008|his debut episode]] where he beat many Trainers while he was under Jessie's command. He has since become Brock's main battling Pokémon and has proved his power again and again, even stopping a {{m|Draco Meteor}} attack in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. He seems to have a rivalry developing with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, [[Ash's Buizel]]. He also has an extreme rivalry with [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], to the point of actually ignoring Brock's advances on women. In several episodes he has been shown to be very intelligent.

[[File:Croagunk vs Toxicroak.png|thumb|left|250px|Croagunk vs. Toxicroak]]
He has good hearing, as he could hear {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in the bush in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'' and Team Rocket sneaking into [[Oreburgh Gym]] in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. He is sometimes aware of many strange or some unusual situations; in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', he saves the day when he jabs Brock and saves him from {{p|Mismagius}}'s illusions. He later was able to sense the oncoming [[Team Galactic]] attack in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' — in particular, the approach of Saturn's Toxicroak.

He also can do a remarkable impression of a {{p|Politoed}}, as seen in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', where his convincing {{pkmn|cosplay}} and acting won a Pokémon Cosplay Competition and the [[Pokémon Egg]] prize.

Croagunk has a fascination at looking at his reflection. This can be seen in several episodes, such as ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' and ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''.

In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', Croagunk guided the gang through a marsh-like area, he then encountered a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Politoed}} and battled it.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Croagunk's rivalry with Saturn's Toxicroak was settled when he defeated Toxicroak with a {{m|Brick Break}} to the head.

==Trivia==
* According to the [[Pokétch]] in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Croagunk is [[Happiness|very close]] to Brock. In fact, Croagunk is about as close to Brock as {{AP|Pikachu}} is to {{Ash}}, despite at the time having only been with him for two episodes, as opposed to Pikachu, which has been with Ash since ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* Croagunk is the first {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon owned by Brock.
* It should be noted that when Croagunk uses {{m|Poison Jab}} on his opponents, his "fingers" fully glow with poison. However when he uses it on Brock, only the tips of his fingers glow possibly meaning that he doesn't use nearly as much poison on Brock as he would an adversary.
[[Image:Croagunkodd.jpg|thumb|200px|The Pokémon staring at Croagunk oddly]]
* In Croagunk's anime debut, during the time under control of Jessie, he was told to use Poison Sting, yet he used Brick Break instead, probably because Croagunk was not captured by her.
* Croagunk is the second Pokémon Brock owns that is a {{type2|Poison}}, his first being {{TP|Brock|Crobat}}. Coincidentally, both Pokémon are confirmed to be male and have names that start with "Cro".
* He is Brock's first Pokémon in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group.
* In ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'', it is seen that some Pokémon find Croagunk odd. In Croagunk's debut, many humans also found it to be disturbing, including Brock himself.
* Croagunk's Japanese voice can be sometimes heard in many of the English dubbed episodes.
* Croagunk is Brock's only Pokémon with both its gender and ability confirmed.
* Croagunk hasn't learned any new moves since Brock captured it, just like Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}.
* Croagunk is the only pokémon on Brock's current party not to have evolved once.

ROM hack

2010-09-01T21:43:43Z

ShinyPikachu: Undo revision 1173438 by Pokedex493 (talk) please do add your own personal hacks.

'''ROM hacks''', also known as '''fangames''' or '''bootlegs''' depending on the circumstances, are video games that have been edited or altered. While many honest fans distribute hacks of Pokémon games for free over the internet, some unscrupulous people have been known to sell them in the guise of legitimate games. Some of these games are hacked onto the actual game cartridges and sold over the internet on sites such as eBay. There are an uncountable number of hacks available on the Internet (a search on YouTube will easily reveal at least a dozen), so this article will limit itself to only the most notable ones.

It should also be noted that all current Chinese language Pokémon game cartridges are pirated as there have yet to be any official Chinese language Pokémon games.

==Moemon==
[[File:151moemon.png|thumb|right|151 Moemon]]
Moemon (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters") is another hack of Pokémon FireRed that changes all Pokémon into [http://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Gijinka gijinka]. It is a simple change of FireRed, but with additions such as the ability to catch the three [[starter Pokémon|starters]], {{p|Eevee}}, and a mix of both LeafGreen and FireRed Pokémon (thus making it simpler to obtain all Pokémon).

Moemon received a short burst of fame when it was posted to gaming site Kotaku in late 2007.[http://kotaku.com/gaming/clip/pokemon-dressed-up-in-moe-332781.php]

==Pokémon Dusk==
[[File:Chubu Region.PNG|thumb|left|Chubu Region Map]]
Pokémon Dusk is yet another hack of Pokémon FireRed that has a new region, new Pokémon, and a new storyline. Some new Pokémon include new eeveelutions (dragon and steel), along with a telekinetic, water Pokémon. The region is explored by young 12 year old trainers Ben, and Skye. The hack is still in early stages of development.

==Pokémon Adventure==
[[File:PA hack screen.jpg|left|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]
Pokémon Adventure is a hack of an existing pirated game called Sonic Adventure 7 that is for the [[Game Boy Color]]. It has five levels, and the intro sequence consists of a few Japanese [[Pokédex]] screenshots from {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}. Other than the intro, title screen, and ending, the game has almost no relationship with Pokémon, with most of the enemies being from other pirates made by the same company, such as Rockman 8 and Super Mario Special 3.

==Pokémon Amber==
Pokémon Amber is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} which sports brand new Pokémon sprites, a brand new region (Sider), and new characters. It was made by the hacker 'Joy,' and can be played in Spanish or English. There is a team much like [[Team Rocket]], which is called Team Solaris. Pokémon Amber was released on Whackahackpokemon.com as a beta, Beta 1 (Final). The overworld sprites have also been heavily edited, as has the script of the game. The playable characters are Xander or Ann. The maps have also been edited.

==Pokémon ChaosBlack==
[[File:CAOB START.JPG|right|thumb|Start screen from Pokémon ChaosBlack]]
Another infamous hack is Pokémon ChaosBlack, which is a modification of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that was released on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. This game contains many fake Pokémon, including Mewthree. Although it has a reputation as a bootleg cartridge sold illegally, the original creator of the hack released the patch for it onto the Internet. ChaosBlack is infamous for including numerous created Pokémon and harsh language.

The description on the back of some boxes can inform gamers that it is a bootleg, as there is a missing accent on the "e" in "Pokémon". Another large giveaway is the fact that Chaos from the Sonic the Hedgehog games exists on the front cover. Also the game was apparantly developed by 'Mewthree Inc.' instead of Nintendo, meaning it couldn't have been endorsed by Nintendo, Pokémon's usual trademark. Despite these obvious flaws, the bootleggers still included a fake Nintendo Seal of Approval on the box and cartridge.

==Pokémon Diamond and Jade==
[[File:DIAMOND SPTART.JPG|left|thumb|The start screen of "Pokémon Diamond"]]

Possibly the most well-known bootleg "Pokémon" games are the notorious '''Pokémon Diamond and Jade''' (not to be confused with the official [[Generation IV]] games {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). In truth, these games were poorly translated versions of a Japanese game known as {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}. Telefang was divided into two versions: Power and Speed; the Power Version became Pokémon Diamond and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade. Pokémon Jade was sometimes released on the [[Game Boy Color]] on the same cartridge as {{game|Crystal}}, but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. The hacks had numerous glitches that the original game did not have, such as the inability to load a save properly. The game also contains profanity and swearing, which is absent from all official Pokémon games licensed by [[Nintendo]].

==Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2==
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.gif‎|right|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade 2"]]
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from Keitai Denjū Telefang 2. Also, like Diamond and Jade, the Power Version of Telefang 2 became Pokémon Diamond 2, and the Speed Version became Pokémon Jade 2. They are in Chinese, and their title screens have been altered to poorly drawn Pokémon characters. The similarities between the title screens of this and the original Diamond and Jade (as well as the fact that they have Pokémon names in the first place) suggest that these may be made by the same pirates. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical glitches. There is also a poorly translated English version of the Power Version of Telefang 2 called "Pokémon Ruby," which has no relation to the real one.

==Pokémon Naranja/Orange==
Pokémon Naranja is a hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means Orange. {{p|Celebi}} appears on the box art and title screen.

This game is based on the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Saga]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The game starts after the player had won the [[Indigo League]]. Despite this fact, the player starts with only a Lv. 5 {{p|Pikachu}}. Many characters, plots and events in the Orange Saga are included in the game, such as the [[GS Ball]], Ash's {{AP|Lapras}}, the [[Orange Crew]], the [[Crystal Onix]], the {{p|Golduck}} from ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'', and [[Ash's Snorlax]].

This game also includes a special feature: the player's character actually speaks during some of the story sequences, which has never been implemented in any official Pokémon game.

The game maker originally planned to release a third beta version before {{wp|Christmas}} in 2005; however, the creator canceled this for an unknown reason. Therefore, the game is currently incomplete.

Naranja has, much like Chaos Black and ShinyGold, also been published in cartridge form and sold as a bootleg game by pirates.

==Pokémon Marble==
Pokémon Marble was made as a sequel to Pokémon Quartz, and uses Pokémon FireRed as a base. It has a new Rival, new maps and graphics, a brand new plot and more than 250 fake Pokémon. It takes place 20 years ''after'' Quartz, and starts this time in Lowheaven. Professor Baro reappears and participates in the storyline much more than in Quartz.

==Pokémon Brown==
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|right|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]
Pokémon Brown is a hack of Pokémon Red. This hack began production in mid 2002, as a sequel to Koolboyman's "Rated M" ROM hack "Fukemon", titled "Fukemon 2". Finally, on January 16th, 2004, the hack was released to the public. The hack has a complete change of all maps and has some minor script tweaks. Also, almost all the Pokémon sprites have been changed. Pokémon Brown takes place in the Rijon region. The maker of this hack announced a remake of Pokémon Brown that was released in April 2009. The remake contains second and fourth generation Pokémon, new areas, and new additions to the storyline.

==Pokémon Prism==
[[File:Mapaf1.png|thumb|left|Screenshot of Naljo, Pokémon Prism's Region]]
Pokémon Prism is a hack of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold|s}} made by Koolboyman, as another entry into his series of hacks, preceded by Pokémon Brown. This hack completely overhauls the original game, and also won [[Pokécommunity]]'s Hack of the Year award in 2007. [http://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=120692] It takes place in a new region called Naljo, with new music, new Pokémon types, and more. One feature is to replace the player's sprite with another at a special shop. The game also has crafting systems (not fully implemented as of the second beta release) and the ability to send a Pokémon out of its Poké Ball outside of battle. Like many other hacks, Prism is still in progress, with periodic updates being released to the public.

==Pokémon Quartz==
[[File:MarbleBattle.PNG|thumb|right|A battle from Marble version between Caterpie and Doduo's replacements]]
Another hack of Pokémon Ruby, released by the author as a patch file intended to be played by {{wp|VisualBoyAdvance|VBA}} users who already owned the Ruby cartridge and had a copy of its ROM image. The game has a great number of spelling and grammatical errors, which result from the hack being translated from Spanish, although the grammar improves throughout the game. The game also contains profanity and adult themes, which are absent from all official Pokémon games. Pokémon Quartz replaced all names and graphics of traditional Pokémon with new, made-up Pokémon, although some of the changes were only cosmetic and did not change learnsets or types. The game takes place in a region known as "Corna", a heavily edited version of Hoenn, and requires the player to navigate a very different series of paths during gameplay.

While the best-known bootleg cartridge as played on the actual GBA contains serious glitches and errors, the current patch file release works well with VBA when the patch is applied to a clean image of an actual Ruby cartridge.

Zorak of Something Awful did a complete Let's Play [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/Pokemon%20Quartz/index.html playthrough of the game], which ended in an interview with the creator of the hack.

A sequel to the game, Pokémon Marble, is in its beta release. This version is a hack of FireRed and has vastly improved grammar and spelling.

==Pokémon ShinyGold==
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|right|Screenshot from ShinyGold]]
[[File:ShinyGold Title Screen.png|thumb|left|Title Screen of Pokémon ShinyGold]]
Pokémon ShinyGold is a total conversion of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that turns the game into a {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} [[remake]], much like how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. It is considered by many people to be among the best and one of the highest-quality hacked games. As well as illegally releasing the game to ROM communities as a patch, some pirates have copied the hack (as with many others) to Game Boy Advance cartridges to illegally sell the game and trick gamers who genuinely think that it is an official Pokémon game. In response to this, Zel (the creator of the hack) placed a note at the beginning of the game saying that the game should be returned if the player paid for it. The game features changes to allow Pokémon that normally evolve via time-based events or trade to evolve by other methods that are more easily available to the player. For example, {{p|Scyther}} evolves into {{p|Scizor}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}} rather than by its normal method, trading while holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. The game also features many events which were not available in the original game, as well as many [[Generation III]] Pokémon being found in some areas.

==Touhou Puppet Play or Touhoumon==
Touhoumon is a combination of the Japanese shoot em up series Touhou Project and the Pokémon games. The (Official) hack is for FireRed while there is a fan derivative that extends to Emerald. There are both English and Japanese versions. The Japanese versions tend to be further ahead in terms of development.

Almost every Pokémon has been replaced from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations with Touhou characters. The music has also been remixed between the original Pokémon themes with Touhou character boss and stage themes. It also uses the Diamond and Pearl system of battle. The types and evolution styles have been changed as well according to the newest official Japanese version 1.80.
