Skully Collins: /* Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? */ + comment.

OOps. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should this be listed under Pokémon Breeding or simply Breeding? -[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Probably Poke breeding with a redirect from "breeding"

A picture says more than tousand words

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don;t know about the first, but I believe the second is because of Phanphy's ability "Pickup".--[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 08:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

== Ditto + Ditto? ==

Someone settle something for me: Can you breed Ditto with Ditto? - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

No. I tried. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]

Thanks. *notices the Discussion page for Ditto and wonders why he didn't look there in the first place*. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

Pokémon breeding

2007-09-05T08:28:34Z

Skully Collins: /* Oddities */ better wording.

'''Pokémon breeding''' is a method of making a new [[Pokémon]] by producing and hatching a [[Pokémon egg]]. In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], it also refers to Pokémon grooming and caretaking.

=In the games=
==How to breed==
Pokémon can be breed by leaving two compatible Pokémon at the [[Pokémon Daycare]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond, located on [[Route 34]] in [[Johto]], [[Route 117]] in [[Hoenn]], [[Four Island (town)|Four Island]] in the [[Sevii Islands]], and [[Solaceon Town]] in [[Sinnoh]]. Two Pokémon are compatible if they are of the same species and opposite gender, share at least one [[Egg Group]] (see below), or one of them is {{p|Ditto}}. [[Legendary Pokémon]] (except for [[Manaphy (Pokémon)|Manaphy]]) and [[baby Pokémon]] cannot breed. Pokémon with gender unknown (besides the aforementioned legendaries) can only breed with Ditto. After returning to the Daycare, the old man will be outside ([[Generation II]]), out of line with the fence ([[Generation III]]), or facing the road ([[Generation IV]]). The man will hand the player an egg, if he or she replies to his question with yes. After walking around for a while, the egg will hatch into a [[level]] 5 ([[Generation II]] and [[Generation III|III]]) or level 1 ([[Generation IV]]) version of the bottom of the female's evolutionary chain.

Examples:

|- align=center
| {{p|Raichu}}♀
| +
| {{p|Wigglytuff}}♂
| =
| {{p|Pichu}}
|}

However, there are three pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, the egg may hatch into either the male or female species:

*[[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♀]] and [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♂]]
*[[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]] and [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]]
*[[Miltank (Pokémon) |Miltank]] and [[Tauros (Pokémon)|Tauros]]

There are also some Pokémon which will produce variable eggs. The Pokémon that is in these eggs will depend on whether or not the parents held a certain type of [[held item]], an incense.

{|border="1" width=350px cellspacing="0"
|-bgcolor="#C0C0FF"
! colspan="2" | Parent !! Holding !! Child
|- align=center

| [[Image:298.png]] {{p|Azurill}}
|- align=center
| Nothing
| [[Image:183.png]] {{p|Marill}}
|}

Other Pokémon like this include {{p|Wobbuffet}} in [[Generation III]] and beyond, and {{p|Roselia}}/{{p|Roserade}}, {{p|Chimecho}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Chansey}}/{{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mantine}} in [[Generation IV]] and beyond. Each requires a different attached incense to breed the baby form.

==Hatching eggs==
The time it takes for eggs to hatch depends on the species. {{p|Magikarp}} is the fastest hatching Pokémon. Some baby fairies, such as {{p|Cleffa}}, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Igglybuff}} hatch quickly as well. Besides these, most Pokémon take considerable time to hatch. Rare and powerful Pokémon, like {{p|Dratini}}, {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Beldum}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Eevee}}, among others, take a long time to hatch.

"Time" is actually determined in steps. For example, a {{p|Gligar}} takes 6364 steps to hatch. Therefore, riding a [[bike]] would reduce the egg's actual hatching time by travelling quickly. [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] allow players to use the Mach Bike, which is twice as fast as the Acro Bike. [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]] give players a harder time hatching their eggs, however, as for there is no "Mach Bike" available. This was compensated with new [[egg moves]] for certain species of Pokémon. Additionally, in Pokémon Emerald, if any Pokémon with {{a|Flame Body}} or {{a|Magma Armor}} is in the [[party]], it reduces the hatching time by half: A Gligar egg would take only 3282 steps if a {{p|Slugma}} is in the party. This feature became standard in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].

==Passing moves down==
The [[moves]] obtained by a Pokémon when hatching are as follows:
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn at a level of 5 or lower.
*The Pokémon will start with any moves that it would learn by leveling up only if both parents know the move.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[Technical Machine|TM]] or [[Hidden Machine|HM]] moves that the father knows and the baby can also learn by machine.
*The Pokémon will start with any [[Egg Moves]] that the baby can learn and the father knows.
The moves will take precedence in the order listed, and if there are more than four moves to learn, the moves will start being knocked off much like at the Pokémon Daycare.

==Inheriting stats==
A Pokémon's [[DVs|Individual Values]] are also passed down. This is determined differently between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

===Generation II===
In Generation II games, the baby inherited its stats from the parent of the opposite gender, unless one parent was Ditto, and in that case it would inherit the stats from Ditto. The Defense Individual Value is passed, and also either the Special Individual Value, or the Special plus or minus 8, depending on whether it was originally greater or less than 8. Whether Special changed or not is determined at random. Attack and Speed are determined at random.

When determining if two Pokémon are compatible, if the Defense Individual Values are the same, and the Special is the same, or 8 off, they are incompatible. This means they are related, and no egg will be produced.

===Generation III===
In these games, three of the baby's Individual Values are inherited from either parent, the other three are determined at random.

In [[Pokémon Emerald]], if the mother (or Ditto) is holding an Everstone the baby has a 50% chance of inheriting that Pokémon's [[Nature]].

===Generation IV===
Breeding in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]] is basically the same as it is in [[Pokémon Emerald]], except that a Pokémon that hatches from an egg will be at level 1.

==Oddities==
Some aspects and contradictions of breeding in the games have spawned debate and confusion. Those Pokémon which breed differently whether holding or not holding an Incense are also popularly debated, most especially if the Incense is necessary in the first place to make an excuse as to why the Baby forms could not be previously obtained. Also, some unusual pairings of Pokémon can be found within the Egg Groups, such as {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Arbok}}, or the popular example {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Skitty}}, jokingly referred to as [[HSOWA]] (Hot Skitty on Wailord action).

One particularly unusual note is that {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} cannot breed, despite the fact that their [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|pre-evolution]] and male counterparts can. No reason has been given for this.

Another very unusual note is that {{p|Seviper}} and {{p|Zangoose}} can breed, despite the fact that the Pokédex says that they are mortal enemies.

Though there is no way for [[legendary Pokémon]] to be bred, there is is evidence that it occurs somehow, since [[Pokémon egg|eggs]] with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} can be hatched in {{pkmn|Snap}} and a baby {{p|Lugia}} has been seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Likewise, {{p|Manaphy}} can be hatched from a special egg from {{pkmn|Ranger}} in {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl}}. Furthermore, Manaphy is the only legendary Pokémon who can breed with a {{p|Ditto}}. However, the offspring will be {{p|Phione}}, who doesn't evolve into Manaphy.

When a Pokémon hatches from an egg during both [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]], it is at [[level]] 5; however, Pokémon can be found in the [[route]]s around [[the player]]'s hometown that are leveled lower than this, down to level 2. This oddity was addressed in [[Generation IV]], where all hatched Pokémon started at level 1.

=In the anime=
In the [[Pokémon anime|anime]], Pokémon breeding refers to an entire line of work practiced by [[Pokémon Breeder]]s, such as [[Brock]]. So far, the anime has shown and discussed little about the literal breeding of Pokémon to produce eggs, but it is assumed this is part of a Pokémon Breeder's work.

Pokémon breeding in the anime focuses heavily on raising healthy Pokémon and keeping them in top condition by grooming them well and feeding them nutritious [[Pokémon food|food]].

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] [[Blaze (ability)|Blaze]], which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal [[Wikipedia:salamander|salamander]] with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in either the Anime, Manga for video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon, and also [[Magmar]], due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions .

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.

===Gender differences===
Unlike some other [[Pokémon]], Chamander does not have any differences between the members of the male and female genders.

===Special abilities===
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{t|Fire}}-type attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but this Charmander can only learn this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

==Behavior==
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]])

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this.

==Habitat==
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabitat the Charcific Valley. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

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

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

=In the anime=
[[Image:CharmanderAnime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Charmander]]]]In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]].

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named "[[Zippo]]" which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] Story Arch, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', [[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]] was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of [[Green (Special)|Green]]'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

=Trivia=
*Everything points out that Charmander will die if the flame on its tail goes out.
*Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome then Charmander is.
==Origin==
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical [[wp:Salamander#Mythology|salamanders]], which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
===Name origin===
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''[[wp:salamander|salamander]]''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard". Interestingly enough, this name is also a phrase in itself, 火と影 ''hi to kage'', fire and shadows.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derives from ''Glut'' (ember) and ''Salamander''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Pairi''
* Chinese (Taiwan): 小火龙 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng''
* Chinese (Hong Kong): 小火龍 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng'' ("small fire dragon")

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] [[Blaze (ability)|Blaze]], which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal [[Wikipedia:salamander|salamander]] with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in either the Anime, Manga for video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon, and also [[Magmar]], due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions .

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.

===Gender differences===
Unlike some other [[Pokémon]], Chamander does not have any differences between the members of the male and female genders.

===Special abilities===
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{t|Fire}}-type attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but this Charmander can only learn this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

==Behavior==
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]])

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this.

==Habitat==
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabitat the Charcific Valley. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

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

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

=In the anime=
[[Image:CharmanderAnime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Charmander]]]]In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]].

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]] which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] Story Arch, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', [[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]] was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of [[Green (Special)|Green]]'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

=Trivia=
*Everything points out that Charmander will die if the flame on its tail goes out.
*Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome then Charmander is.
==Origin==
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical [[wp:Salamander#Mythology|salamanders]], which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
===Name origin===
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''[[wp:salamander|salamander]]''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard". Interestingly enough, this name is also a phrase in itself, 火と影 ''hi to kage'', fire and shadows.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derives from ''Glut'' (ember) and ''Salamander''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Pairi''
* Chinese (Taiwan): 小火龙 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng''
* Chinese (Hong Kong): 小火龍 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng'' ("small fire dragon")

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].

Charmander comes with the [[Abilities|Ability]] [[Blaze (ability)|Blaze]], which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charmander evolves via level, into {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 16, then into {{p|Charizard}} starting at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal [[Wikipedia:salamander|salamander]] with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in either the Anime, Manga for video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{t|Dragon}}-type Pokémon, and also [[Magmar]], due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions .

Despite the small size of its claws, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.

===Gender differences===
Unlike some other [[Pokémon]], Chamander does not have any differences between the members of the male and female genders.

===Special abilities===
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{t|Fire}}-type attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but this Charmander can only learn this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

==Behavior==
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack.

It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. However, because of the notoriously aggressive behavior of its evolutions as well as its type disadvantage against the first two [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s, it is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with.

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this.

==Habitat==
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains. Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabitat the Charcific Valley. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

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

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

=In the anime=
[[Image:CharmanderAnime.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Charmander]]]]In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]].

[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]] which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] Story Arch, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', [[Gilbert (Kanto)|Gilbert]] was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, [[Tracey]], [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

A Charmander also stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

=In the manga=
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) has a mischievous [[Charmander (Pocket Monsters)|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of [[Green (Special)|Green]]'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

=Trivia=
*Everything points out that Charmander will die if the flame on its tail goes out.
*Some believe Charmander is the most mischievous out of the three original starters, although in the anime, Bulbasaur and Squirtle seem more troublesome then Charmander is.
==Origin==
Charmander may have been inspired by the mythical [[wp:Salamander#Mythology|salamanders]], which were fire-spirits in the shape of lizards who were said survive in extreme heat or flames.
===Name origin===
Charmander is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''[[wp:salamander|salamander]]''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard". Interestingly enough, this name is also a phrase in itself, 火と影 ''hi to kage'', fire and shadows.
==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derives from ''Glut'' (ember) and ''Salamander''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - ''Salamandre'' means salamander and ''mèche'' means match.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Pairi''

'''Chimchar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒコザル''' ''Hikozaru'') is a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon. Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]].

Chimchar comes with the [[Abilities|ability]] [[Blaze (ability)|Blaze]], which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Chimchar evolves into {{p|Monferno}} at Level 14 which evolves into {{p|Infernape}} at Level 36.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Chimchar are small, orange monkeys. Like {{p|Cyndaquil}}, they have a flame that can be activated at will. However, the flame of a Chimchar is on its bottom and appears to be lit all the time it is awake.
===Gender differences===
===Special abilities===
==Behavior==
==Habitat==
Chimchar are very rare and only make their nests in cliffsides and rocky mountains. If they were to live in jungles like normal primates, there would be forest fires daily.

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

=In the anime=
[[Image:Chimchar fireless.jpg|right|thumb|A sleeping Chimchar - note the lack of a flame.]]
Chimchar first appeared in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. The little fire-monkey was teasing a [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] after stealing food from it. Piplup then started firing a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Chimchar kept jumping out of the way. {{p|Staraptor}} was hit in Piplup's line of fire and created a {{m|Whirlwind}} that wrecked everything in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. Chimchar jumped out of a broken window with Piplup chasing after it.

[[Paul's Chimchar]] first appeared in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''.

=In the manga=
[[Pearl (Special)|Pearl]] owns a Chimchar

=Trivia=
Chimchar is the only starter Pokémon out of the twelve so far that has not belonged to [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] or one of his [[Ash's Friends|friends]]. Though many fans believed that [[Brock]] was to obtain Chimchar due to a magazine scan that showed it standing next to him while [[Ash's Turtwig|Turtwig]] and [[Dawn's Piplup|Piplup]] stood next to Ash and Dawn, respectively. It was then later found that Chimchar would belong to Ash's rival, [[Paul]].

==Origin==
Chimchar appears to be based on a young [[wp:Monkey|monkey]], although the firey tail mirrors {{p|Charmander}}. The root "char" is also shared between the two.
===Name origin===
Hikozaru's name is derived from 火 ''hi'', or ''[[wp:Fire|fire]]'', 子 ''ko'', or ''[[wp:Child|child]]'', and 猿 ''saru'', or ''[[wp:Monkey|monkey]]''. ''Zaru'' is used to describe an [[wp:Ape|ape]]. Chimchar comes from [[wp:chimp|chimp]] and char.

Orville

2007-07-13T10:50:58Z

Skully Collins: + wikipedia link.

[[Image:Orville.jpg|thumb|right|Orville and Wilbur preparing for flight.]]
'''Orville''' is a {{p|Pidgey}} who appeared in ''[[EP211|Fly me to the Moon]]''.

Orville lived on [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]]. Unlike the other Pidgey, Orville was in very good shape, and was the only one who could fly. Orville had dreams of flying higher than any Pidgey before it. Its trainer, [[Wilbur]], believed in Orville and wanted to help it succeed.

Along with [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], his friends and [[Team Rocket]], Orville flew high into the sky. In fact, Orville flew so high, it almost died from loss of oxygen. Thanks to [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu's]] {{m|Thunderbolt}} and an oxygen mask, Orville survived and was proud of its dream now accomplished.

==Trivia==
*Orville and Wilbur are named after the [[Wikipedia:Wright brothers|Wright Brothers]].

Skully Collins: /* Two Deaths? */

== Ash's Pokemon in the Manga ==
Should we add Ash's pokemon from the manga because he does have a few different pokemon than he does in the anime. (Such as Fearow & Oddish).

==Actors==

Should we have pages for the voice actors? I have quite a bit of info on Veronica Taylor for one. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 22:57, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Should I add the LatinAmerican voice actors? --[[User:NIDOKING|NIDOKING]] 21:38, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

==Hoenn Ash?==

Should a picture of Ash in his AG Clothing be somewhere in this article (does the Battle Frontier one count?)? - [[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 00:14, 08 Aug 2006
*Yeah, his Battle Frontier and Hoenn outfits are the same. [[User:Matty|Matty]] 14:34, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
*Is there something wrong with this wiki, or is it just my comp? Because this entire wiki doesn't seem to have any pictures. The labels and names are there, but the pictures don't show up. What's wrong? [[User:Pokemon Master Nick|Pokemon Master Nick]] 17:36, 16 December 2006

== Ash & Me ==

Ash and me go all the way back.

He's my main man, and my homie. [[User:RocketM|RocketM]]

== Family ==

Who are Kotoko Marumatsu and Sam?
: Apparently, characters from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=&user=&page=Mewtwo+Series some manga] [[User:The Blacksmith|only one user]] knows about. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:55, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

== Ash, a Pokemon Coordinator?? ==
Omigosh, Ash totally enters a contest in [[DP011]], does it mean he will like totally continue doing contests? If he continues, would he be considered a [[Pokemon coordinator]]? =p <--[[User:Alyssachanpc|Hikari-chan]] 20:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
:Does not mean he will continue. In fact, it's extremely unlikely he will. If he did continue, though, yes, that would mean he can be considered one. --a sick [[User:Pie|Pie]] 22:15, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Pie.

Most likely Ash will not continue entering contests to become a cooridinator. Afterall, his main goal is and will always be, to become a Pokemon Master. Which makes me ask the question of WHY he wanted to start doing contests in the first place. It makes no sense to me whatsoever......
:My guess is that he was testing the waters. After all, he wants to be a Pokémon master, so... he should obviously master EVERYTHING about them. Or something. Maybe he should go start buying capes and get Marina to fangirl him. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 10:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

==Ash Loses to Gym Leaders==
Is it really a true statement to say that Ash loses to one Gym Leader in each region? As I recall it, he didn't lose to any of the Gym Leaders in the Orange Islands. Or are we just going by Game Regions? - [[User:Kenji-Girl|Kenji-Girl]]
:You're right about the Orange Islands Gym Leaders. Perhaps that should be noted in the article that he's only lost to Gym Leaders featured in the games. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 02:34, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

==Does Ash Have a Dad?==
If Delia is ashes mom, then who is his dad? --[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy512]] 20:22, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

No one knows, although there are a few possiblities on who he could be-[[user:Mawile the deciever|Mawile the deciever]]

:Of course Ash has a dad. Everyone does. We just don't know who he is. - [[User:Kenji-girl|Kenji Girl]]

::Biologically, he has a father but Delia had 100+ one-time partners, so she doesn't know which one is Ash's father. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:01, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Bad Maxim. No baseless speculation written as fact. That's how rumors start, you know. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:36, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
::::Lol, I was just kidding. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:51, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

== Two Deaths? ==

Perhaps this is just me, but doesn't the time when Ash was consumed by the antibodies in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' also count as a death? --[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 10:11, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
: Yes it does, in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pat-FIgexgI this video] Banks says "..they're meant to encapsulate foreign parasites and '''eliminate''' them.."

That means when Ash was engulfed by one of those things, he was "eliminated". E.g Destroyed, Killed. --[[User:Pluvia|Pluvia]] 03:37, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
:That doesn't mean they did it yet. It seemed more like Mew stopped the elimination process before it happened. There's really no solid proof that he died. --[[User:Kenji-girl|Kenji Girl]].

It is a weird situation. Which is one reason why I put "at least twice", because I don't know if it should count or not. They certainly treated it as a death, though, not "he's slowly being digested or something and there's only such and such amount of time to save him". They treated it as "he's gone and never coming back... well, except Mew can completely bend reality and restore everyone who was killed by red blobs". --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 04:55, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

But don't white blood cells "kill" the "bacteria" almost immediately, if not straight away? So how can Mew stop the elimination process if it had already happened? Perhaps, and with all due respect to Kenji-Girl when I say this, but aren't you mixing it up with a "digestion" process? If not, then I apologise - But if so, then white blood cells don't ''technically'' digest, or "eat", their ermm...how to put this?..."food"(?) rather consume, or to put it IMO better "destroy", it - digestion involves taking nutrition from the thing being consumed. Anyway, sorry for the (possibly flawed) biology lesson. --[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 13:14, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

:No, no, that's what I thought, too. I'm not a biology expert, though, and my teachers never went into that much depth about how white blood cells work. But all signs point to them being destroyed as soon as the tree's red blobs (wow, I use really technical terms, huh?) engulfed them. Particularly when you notice the blobs just shrink and disappear into the tree after. With nothing visible inside. I mean, if they're still there, it seem they're not being carried away in one piece. Also, it sort of makes sense that completely undoing that could expend Mew's energy so much and, in turn, harm the tree so badly - rather than just stopping a few "cells" carrying the humans and making them return them to the tree's interior. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 15:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

::Doesn't matter - I'm just happy someone agrees with me - Just a bit of curiosity: What happens after woods? Am I guessing correctly that there is crying involved? (Sorry, the movie hasn't been shown in the UK yet! I would rant on about how we Europeans seem to get everything last but that isn't the subject at hand :-P) --[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 16:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Skully Collins: Two Deaths?

A '''held item''' is an [[item]] held by [[Pokémon]] on direction from their [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]]. This capability was first introduced in [[Generation II]], though the thought of held items may extend as far back as [[Pokémon Yellow]], where many {{p|Farfetch'd}} and {{p|Kadabra}}, upon trading to a [[Generation II]] game, are revealed to have held items, a Stick and a Twisted Spoon, respectively. Held items range from [[Berries]] that can be used in battle to recover to items that can be used to enhance the power of certain moves. Most other items may be held as well, such as [[Poké Ball]]s and [[Revive]]s, though the Pokémon will not use them.

The following is a list of items made solely to be held items, grouped by purpose and listed in alphabetical order.

:''This list is incomplete. You can help by expanding it.''

==Type enhancing items==
These items, when held, will enhance the potency of attacks that correspond to the item by 10%. For example, if a Pokémon holds Mystic Water and uses a {{t|Water}}-[[type]] attack, the power of the Water-type attack will be increased by 10%.

If these items are sold, [[Poké Mart]]s will pay [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]50 for them with the exception of Charcoal, for which Poké Marts will pay [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]4,900, and the Adamant/Lustrous Orbs for which Poké Marts will offer [[Image:Pokébuck sign.gif]]5,000.

In [[Generation II]], several of these items can only be obtained from the [[Weekday Siblings]].

Brock's Vulpix

2007-06-18T08:10:36Z

Skully Collins: spacing.

[[Image:Vulpix.JPG|thumb|right|Brock's Vulpix with [[Misty's Togepi]].]]
'''Brock's Vulpix''' (Japanese: '''タケシのロコン''' ''Takeshi's Rokon'') was the fourth [[Pokémon]] acquired by [[Brock]] in the group's travels through [[Kanto]]. Its Japanese voice actress is 愛河里花子 ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]'' and its English voice actresses are [[Roxanne Beck]] (initial appearance) and [[Rachael Lillis]] (all other appearances).

Vulpix was given to Brock by [[Susie]] in the episode ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''. Susie was Brock's idol, and Vulpix took a liking to him, which was surprising, as the little Pokémon had a very snobbish and primadonna-ish nature. It even liked Brock's homemade [[Pokémon food]]. Impressed with the way Brock cared for his [[Brock's Geodude|Geodude]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]], Susie decided that Brock might be able to take better care of Vulpix than she.

Like all of Brock's Pokémon, Vulpix received very little screentime compared to the Pokémon of other main characters. When it was featured, Brock was often seen grooming and pampering it.

Brock later met up with Susie again in [[Johto]] and returned Vulpix to her.

The '''Pokémon Watch''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンウォッチ'''), or '''Pokétch''' (Japanese: '''ポケッチ''') for short, is the navigational item present in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], much like the [[PokéGear]] and [[PokéNav]] before it. It is seen on the bottom touch screen of the [[Nintendo DS]] when the [[player character|player]] is walking around.

The Pokétch has 25 functions, including a map of [[Sinnoh]] like its counterparts did for [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]]. It also has many functions that are not available at the start but can be recieved at a later time, and a few that must be obtained by showing a certain species of Pokémon to another character. It switches between these functions when the button at the side is tapped with the stylus.

The functions are ordered in this article according to their number on the Pokétch.

==Functions==
===Digital Watch===
As its most basic feature, the Pokétch will display the time of day, much like the PokéGear of [[Johto]] had, only this time running in 24-hour format, instead of 12-hour AM/PM format. It runs off of the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal clock, and through this, can keep track of the date of a Pokémon's capture as well as the time of day. There are two different watch functions, one [[wp:analog clock|analog]] and one [[wp:digital clock|digital]], though only the digital version is available from the beginning.

===Calculator===
The Pokétch also has a basic calculator, with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division functions usable. It is able to display up to ten digits. When an answer is displayed, if the player has a [[Pokémon]] whose [[Pokédex]] number matches the answer rounded down to the whole number below it, the calculator will play that Pokémon's cry. It is one of the applications available from the beginning.

===Memo Pad===
A notepad for trainers to use as they walk the field to draw or write. This can be used, for example, to write notes on the area or notes on which Pokémon to get to beat the next gym. Has a pencil and an eraser. Unlocked after defeating [[Roark]] and visiting the Pokétch building.

===Pedometer===
This device allows trainers to count the amount of steps taken, a value that often determines things such as out-of-battle poison damage, egg hatching, and Safari Zone excursions. The number resets when the player presses the button. It is also instrumental in accessing the [[Surf glitch]]. It is one of the applications available from the beginning.

===Pokémon List===
This shows the most basic stats of the Pokémon that the trainer has with them: HP level, species, and whether or not they are holding an item. It is one of the applications available from the beginning.

===[[Happiness|Friendship]] Checker===
Shows the happiness of the various Pokémon in the party. Obtained at [[Eterna City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]].

===Dowsing Machine===
Finds items located on the top screen of the DS when touched. Received from [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]]/[[Lucas (game)|Lucas]] upon arriving on [[Route 207]]. It takes the place of the [[Itemfinder]] of previous generations.

===[[Berry]] Searcher===
A map of [[Sinnoh]] showing where mature berry trees are located in the region. Acquired from the little girl in the [[Berry Master]]'s house on {{rt|208}}.

===[[Pokémon daycare|Day-care]] Checker===
Unlike previous generations where trainers would need to stick around the breeding centers to make sure that they got their [[Pokémon egg]] as soon as it was ready, this Pokétch app allows trainers to see the levels, genders, and species of the Pokémon located in the center, and will show whether or not an egg has yet been produced. Acquired from the man in the day care center after dropping off at least one Pokémon.

===Pokémon History===
Shows the twelve most recent Pokémon captured, evolved, hatched, or traded into the game. Given to the player by the man near the southern entrance to [[Solaceon Town]].

===Counter===
Counts anything players choose to; upon press of the button on the bottom screen, the number goes up by one. It resets when the player switches Pokétch functions. Acquired from a lady on the second floor of the [[Veilstone Department Store]]

===Analog Watch===
An alternative to the digital watch. It is found in a house in [[Celestic Town]].

===Marking Map===
The version of the {{i|Town Map}} for the [[Sinnoh]] region. Allows players to place different markings (●, ★, ■, ▲, ♥ and ◆) on locations to show them as destinations, as well as the locations of the two Pokémon that travel around Sinnoh, {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Mesprit}}, much like {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}} travelled [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] and {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} travelled [[Hoenn]]. Unlocked after defeating [[Maylene]] and visiting the Pokétch president in [[Jubilife City]].

===Link Searcher===
Seeks out other players using wireless functions nearby. Shows the number of people nearby using the [[Union Room]], [[Colosseum]], or those visiting [[the Underground]]. Unlocked after defeating [[Fantina]] and visiting the Pokétch president in [[Jubilife City]].

===Coin Toss===
Players can flip a coin with a picture of {{p|Magikarp}} on it. Obtained from a couple staying at the [[Hotel Grand Lake]].

===[[Move]] Tester===
This function will allow a trainer to choose the type of attack and the type(s) of the opponent Pokémon to determine whether a move is super effective, normal, not very effective, or ineffective against said opponent. Unlocked after defeating [[Candice]] and visiting the Pokétch president in [[Jubilife City]].

===Calendar===
Shows the current month and day. Acquired from a man in [[Sunyshore City]] after showing him a Pokémon with a serious [[nature]].

===Dot Artist===
A different type of drawing pad. This one allows the player to change each large pixel by touch. There are four different shades each square can be. Acquired from a man in [[Sunyshore City]] after showing him a Pokémon with a naive nature.

===Roulette===
Spins. Start and stop are controlled by the player. Acquired from a man in [[Sunyshore City]] after showing him a Pokémon with a quirky nature.

===Poké Radar===
Shows the three longest streaks of Pokémon seen by the player.

===Egg timer===
Timer with an alarm.

===Color modifier===
Changes background color of the Pokétch.

===Matchup checker===
Checks whether two [[party]] Pokémon are compatible to breed.

===Stopwatch===
Reverse of the egg timer, counts up instead of down.

===Alarm clock===
Sets an alarm to ring at a certain time.

==Trivia==
*For [[DP010]], [[Professor Oak]]'s lecture is about the Pokétch. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ポケッチに　まだまだふえる　アプリかな ''For the Pokétch, it's ever-growing applications, isn't it?''.

'''Fiore''' (Japanese: '''フィオレ''' ''Fiore'') is the setting for the [[Pokémon Ranger]] videogame. Its name is [[wikipedia:Italian language|Italian]] for "flower".

=Geography=
Fiore is an island with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map, each representing a season.
==Locations==
===Cities/Towns===
* [[Fall City]]
* [[Ring Town]]
* [[Summerland]]
* [[Wintown]]

* [[Safra Sea]]
* [[Go-Rock Squad Base]]
* [[Underground Waterways]]

===Routes===
Fiore does not have traditional [[route]]s.

=League=
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is substantially different in Fiore than it is in the regions of the main games. In Fiore there are no trainers that capture and battle. The people that have the most interaction with Pokémon are the Pokémon Rangers. Since the rangers enforce a strict rule of releasing Pokémon after using their help, Fiore does not host a form of Pokémon competition in the vein of the other regions' [[Pokémon League|Pokémon League]].

=Culture=
[[Pokéballs]] are not sold or used in the Fiore Region. People who own Pokémon are encouraged to keep them by their side, outside of Pokéballs at all times, much like [[Ash's Pikachu]].

'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a city in the [[region]] of [[Sinnoh]]. Its temple is home to the legendary Pokémon {{p|Regigigas}}.

==Snowpoint Temple==
[[Image:Kissakitemple.JPG|left|thumb|250px|The basement of Snowpoint Temple, where [[Regigigas]] resides.]]
Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] have been beaten. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the [[legendary golems]] along with them, which are all only available in the [[Generation III]] games.

Because of the location of the temple within a city, Regigigas is only the third legendary Pokémon that can be caught within city limits, the other two being {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Suicune}} in [[Ecruteak City|Ecruteak]]'s [[Tin Tower]] during [[Generation II]].

==Geography==
Snowpoint is located in the far north of Sinnoh, where low temperatures have created an atmosphere of snow. Snowpoint City, and the two routes that lead to it ({{rt|216}} and {{rt|217}}) are completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, [[Lake Acuity]] can be found, a cave in which houses {{p|Uxie}}. Being that the snow, which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to {{rt|216}} from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through [[Mt. Coronet]], the most convenient way to get to the city is to {{m|Fly}}.

Eeveelution

2007-06-11T12:50:18Z

Skully Collins: surely it's "Level up" rather than "train" - Plus, it's possibly misleading, ie the reader may think that Eevee merely has to gain Ex. points to level up.

An '''Eeveelution''' is a popular [[fanon]] term for the current seven [[Pokémon]] that [[evolve]] from {{p|Eevee}}. It is derived from a combination of the words "Eevee" and "evolution".

It is also the name of a TCG Themedeck, see: [[Eeveelution (TCG)]]. However, it should be noted that the term appeared before the release of the Themedeck.

==Trivia==
All of the Eeveelutions so far have had their elemental type be one whose moves were formerly governed solely by the [[Stat#Special Attack|Special Attack]] stat. The only formerly all-special elemental type not yet covered is {{t|Dragon}}, which may indicate the next Eeveelution, if there is one.

The goal of the game is to travel all over the land of [[Fiore]] to capture all the 213 Pokémon that are available using the Nintendo DS touch screen and stylus. Instead of capturing Pokémon in [[Poké Ball]]s, you use a device called the [[Capture Styler]] to add Pokémon to your party. You can only use the Pokémon to help you once, after using them, they then leave your party. The only Pokémon that don't do this are the Character's Partner a {{P|Minun}} or {{P|Plusle}} (Based on the Character's Gender)

Bill

2007-06-04T11:49:43Z

Skully Collins: /* In the TCG */ + link.

[[Image:Bill.png|frame|right|'''Bill''', from a [[Generation III]] artwork]]'''Bill''' (Japanese: '''ソネザキマサキ''' ''Masaki Sonezaki'') is a [[Pokémon]] Researcher, widely regarded as an expert in many fields, who makes many appearances in both the games and the anime. Bill is most commonly found in his [[Bill's_Lighthouse|lighthouse]], which is north of [[Cerulean City]]. He is most notable for his first entrance in the [[Generation I]] games [[Pokémon Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Yellow]] Versions, his [[Bill's_PC|Pokémon storage system]], and his possession of the Evolution Stones.

=In the games=
Bill is the talented and famous inventor. He invented [[Pokémon storage system]] and [[Time Capsule]]. People and himself call him Pokémaniac. He has a big collection of common and rare Pokémon. The first one he caught was an {{p|Abra}}. [[Celio]] is his old friend that knows lots about him. Bill has many fans like Pokémaniac Brent which calls to the main player with information about him. Bill has a big family. In [[Fuchsia City]] lives his adult sister and Bill's grandpa, which in [[Generation II]] keeps Bill's Cottage near [[Cerulean City]] while he is visiting his hometown, [[Goldenrod City]] where his mother and young sister live. One of his sisters can't wink. Bill can't stomach milk.

==[[Generation I]]==
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Yellow]], Bill is found at the [[Cerulean Cape]], initially performing an experiment on Pokémon teleportation. He, however, gets combined with the body of a Clefairy and requires the player's help to fix the problem. After things are back in order, he informs you about his [[Pokémon Storage System]] and the "Someone's PC" changes to "Bill's PC." He also gives you the {{i|S.S. Ticket}}, allowing you to board the [[S.S. Anne]]. Later in the game, you can visit part of Bill's family in [[Fuchsia City]].

==[[Generation II]]==
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal|Crystal]], Bill is visiting his family in [[Goldenrod City]]. After he gets the [[Time Capsule]] up and running in [[Ecruteak City]], players can visit him in Goldenrod for an {{p|Eevee}}.

==[[Generation III]]: [[Hoenn]]==
While visiting [[Lanette]], players can check one of her computers to find an E-mail from Bill. This is the only time that he is mentioned in the game. However, no such mention is made in the Japanese version (not confirmed with Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire).

==[[Generation III]]: [[Kanto]]==
In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]], Bill is in the same area as in the original games. However, you meet up with Bill on [[Cinnabar Island]] after receiving the Volcanobadge from [[Blaine]]. From there, you go to the first three [[Sevii Islands]] and complete a short side story.

==[[Generation IV]]==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl]], [[Bebe]] mentions that Bill invented the original PC storage system, and that she tinkered with it to make it easier to use.

=In the anime=
[[image:Bill.jpg|frame|'''Bill''' talking about the world of Pokémon.]]
[[Ash Ketchum|Ash]], [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] meet Bill at his lighthouse in [[EP013|''Mystery at the Lighthouse'']], his Japanse voice actor was ''[[Masaya Onosaka]]'', his English voice actor was [[Maddie Blaustein]] and his Brazilian Portuguese voice actor was [[Marcelo Campos]].

Bill had previously been trapped in a {{p|Kabuto}} costume for what he claims to have been hours until Ash finally comes to press the release button for him. Afterwards, Bill fulfills a request made by Professor Oak to give Ash and his friends a lesson on the basics of Pokémon, during which Bill shares the idea that there may be many more than just 150 species of Pokémon. The remainder of his appearance is spent focused on explaining to Ash and company his recent project, involving a [[Dragonite (Pokémon)|mysterious Pokémon]] whose cry can be heard across the sea.

=In the TCG=
[[Image:Bill2.jpg|frame|right|'''Bill''', from a TCG illustration]]
[[Bill (Base Set)|Bill]] appears on his own card in the [[Base Set (TCG)|Base Set]] . It allows the player to draw 2 cards from their deck. In the [[Neo Genesis (TCG)|Neo Genesis]] expansion, he appears on a card called [[Bill’s Teleporter (Neo Genesis 91)|Bill's Teleporter]], that gives the player of chance of drawing 8 cards. In the [[Expedition (TCG)|Expedition]] and [[EX FireRed and LeafGreen (TCG)|EX: FireRed and LeafGreen]] expansions, he appears on a card called Bill's Maintenance.
{{Clear-right}}

=In the manga=
[[Image:Bill_manga.jpg|thumb|200px]]In [[Pokémon Special]], Bill serves not just as a scientist and inventor, but as part of the [[Pokémon Association]].

Bill had been dragged into all sorts of misadventures in almost every saga (except for Hoenn and Battle Frontier) ever since he was turned into a {{p|Rattata}} by his experiments and snatched up by a {{p|Fearow}}. His other exploits including helping [[Red (Special)|Red]] find and capture an {{p|Eevee}} that had escaped from [[Team Rocket]]; facing [[Lorelei]] in combat with [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow]]; fighting alongside [[Lt. Surge]] against [[Bruno]] on the [[Cerise Island]]; and being attacked by a group of playful {{p|Staryu}} after meeting [[Crystal (Special)|Crystal]].

Bill not only designed the Pokémon Storage system, he also maintains it from his home, and was the one who repaired it after the [[Mask of Ice]]'s [[Team Rocket]] sabotaged it, allowing trainers from all over to send their Pokémon to aid Red, Green, [[Blue (Special)|Blue]], Yellow, [[Gold (Special)|Gold]], [[Silver (Special)|Silver]] and Crystal in their battle against {{p|Ho-oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. He also created a portable Pokémon Transfer system using a [[PokéGear]] and a [[Pokédex]], allowing Crystal to send [[Professor Oak]] the Pokémon she captured while the system was down.

At the end of Volume 15, he is shown working with [[Daisy Oak]], and they seem to be getting along well, hinting at a possible relationship between the two, although there was never any solid evidence provided later.

His Pokémon include {{p|Vulpix}} (which he keeps as a guard "fox"), {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Exeggcute}} (which evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}} in the Sevii Island stories) and {{p|Farfetch'd}}. In the Japanese version, Bill speaks with an Osaka accent. However, as Osaka accent is impossible to render in English version, in English version he speaks with a Southern or Texan accent, which is commonly used when translating manga and anime to the similarity in perception of the two accents between the two cultures.
{{Clear-right}}

In the first chapter of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], a younger Bill rescues a lost {{p|Dratini}} from an angry crowd and it lives with him for a couple of days, until its father, an angry {{p|Dragonite}}, begins to go on a rampage. Dratini returns home, promising to always be friends with Bill.

Also, Bill makes appearances in [[Pokémon Zensho]] and [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

=Trivia=
Bill being mixed with a Pokémon during a teleportation experiment seems to be a direct reference to the movie [[wp:The Fly|The Fly]], in which a scientist experimenting with teleportation pods ends up combined with a fly.

Bill's name may be derived from [[wp:Bill Gates|Bill Gates]], former head of Microsoft.
