[[File:Tweaking Glitch.png|thumb|right|An example of a successful tweak.]]

'''Tweaking''' is a [[glitch]] exclusive to the [[core series]] [[Generation IV]] games that causes the game to improperly load the graphics of an area. It is also sometimes referred to as '''holepunching''' to commemorate its discoverer, a GameSpot forums member by the username of "Holepunch".

==Cause==
All maps in [[Generation IV]] are broken up into square "sections" or "chunks" 32 tiles by 32 tiles across. At any given time, only four sections are loaded and visible: the section the player is currently in as well as two sections orthogonally away and one diagonally away, depending on which {{wp|Quadrant (plane geometry)|quadrant}} of the current section the player is in. (For example, if the player is standing in the northwest quadrant of their current section, the sections to the north, west, and northwest will be loaded.) "Load lines" exist halfway across each section at the boundaries between quadrants, so named because when the player crosses over one, the sections in that direction are loaded into memory, while the sections behind the player are unloaded. Through this, the overworld appears seamless.

Using the [[Bicycle]] in the fourth gear, however, can cause the player to move too fast for the game to load the areas properly, especially if one changes direction several times while near the intersection of two load lines, thus loading and unloading multiple sections over and over nearly simultaneously. Doing so triggers a {{wp|race condition}} bug, causing sections to load improperly. The effects can vary from a [[game freeze]], invisible walls, a completely black area, a completely white area, a change in the {{wp|Z-axis}} location, or even a completely different section fully loading in the wrong place.

The distortion caused by tweaking can be solved easily by crossing a load line away from the distortion, causing it to unload. When the section is loaded again, it will be normal. It can also be solved by looking at a different menu screen such as the Pokédex; upon closing out of the menu, the areas will be properly reloaded.

While tweaking using the bicycle in the fourth gear is the most common method to perform tweaking, the same effects can also occur using only the third gear, although its applications are not as versatile. It is even possible for some limited effects to occur simply by running (as well as {{m|Surf}}ing in {{v2|Platinum}}, which is at the same speed), mainly invisible walls and Z-axis changing rather than more drastic changes.

==Patterns==
{{Incomplete|section|needs=writeup quality; better image than ASCII art; diagonal displacement with fast bike (necessary in HGSS); running tweaks and their effects}}
|
1|2
--+--
3|4
|
In the diagram above, the vertical and horizontal lines represent load lines (thus this is the center of a section) and the numbers represent tiles that the player can walk on. (For example, taking one step east from 1 will bring the player to 2, crossing a load line in the process.)

In all patterns detailed below, the patterns can be flipped and rotated to produce displacements in different directions.

===Orthogonal displacement===
"3124343" (fast bike): Nicknamed a "zorch" after its discoverer, this was the first reliable tweaking pattern ever discovered. It causes the section east of the player to load as a black area onto the section west of the player. Obsoleted by the later-discovered "shortzorch".

"24343" (fast bike): Nicknamed a "shortzorch", this has the same effect as a zorch.

===Diagonal displacement===
"12421" (slow bike): Causes the section northeast of the player to fully (visibly) load onto the section northwest of the player. Possible with only the third gear bike since sections diagonal to the player are farther away and load last, making it easier to interrupt the process.

==Exploitation==
Depending on the layout of a section, it may be possible to tweak in such a way so as to load a walkable area (either black or visible) onto a section that does not normally contain walkable surfaces. This allows for a number of shortcuts, such as skipping [[Tohjo Falls]] and therefore {{HM|07|Waterfall}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by loading a walkable area onto the section where the [[ledge]] on [[Route 27]] would normally be. In sections containing buildings that are blocked off by NPCs, it is possible to enter them by tweaking a Z-axis change, allowing the player to walk under or over the tile the NPC would normally occupy. Two examples of minor shortcuts or sequence breaks using this method include obtaining access to [[Mystery Gift]] in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} before the first badge by bypassing the clown blocking the [[Jubilife TV]] front door, and completing [[Azalea Gym]] before [[Slowpoke Well]] by bypassing the [[Team Rocket]] Grunt in front of the Gym (though this by itself does not allow Slowpoke Well or Rocket Executive [[Proton]] to be skipped entirely, since the game does not trigger the {{p|Farfetch'd}} event that gives the player {{HM|01|Cut}} unless Proton has been defeated).

These types of shortcuts are possible in all [[Generation IV]] games.

===Void glitch===
The '''void glitch''' is a specific application of the tweaking glitch only useful in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. First, the player must tweak a black area onto a section that would normally contain buildings, making it possible to walk through their improperly loaded walls. Then, by standing exactly one tile above the entrance to a building, reloading the area, and walking south, the player can end up on the interior map of the building, but in the black [[void]] area around the normally accessible portion, similar to the [[Surf glitch]]. As with the Surf glitch, it is then possible to navigate through the interconnecting area of this void to normally inaccessible locations, such as [[Newmoon Island]] and the [[Flower Paradise]] where the [[event]]-exclusive {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Shaymin}} reside.

Traveling a multiple of 65,536 steps in the void will cause the game to no longer display only black, but rather start copying the map data of normal areas due to an overflow after attempting to load data past {{wp|4294967295#In_computing|4,294,967,296}} bytes (each map tile takes up 65,536 bytes). Only the visual data is loaded like this; almost everything can still be walked through just as in the rest of the void. These areas are nicknamed "Fake Sinnoh"{{sup/4|DPP}} or "Fake Johto/Kanto"{{sup/4|HGSS}}. 'Fake' regions continue to repeat every 65,536 steps and are about an hour apart when traveling on the Bicycle in fast gear.

As part of the paths to access Darkrai and Shaymin, the player is required to save the game in the void, so the same risks associated with the [[Surf glitch]] occur here, such as becoming trapped without a method of escape. More notably, as the maneuvers in the void necessary to reach Newmoon Island and Flower Paradise are significantly more elaborate compared to the Surf glitch, with the currently documented complete path to Darkrai requiring two traversals through "Fake Sinnoh" (about two hours of continuous biking) and the currently documented complete path to Shaymin requiring one traversal (about one hour of biking), it is possible for more serious corruption-related effects to occur. In the worst possible circumstance, the game may always immediately freeze upon loading the save file, forcing a new game to be started.

Other areas known to be accessible through this glitch include the [[Hall of Fame]], {{p|Giratina}}'s room in Turnback Cave, and [[Route 227]]. As the void glitch simply requires a [[Bicycle]] to perform, all of these areas can be reached as early as the game's second [[Badge]].

After the discovery of the Darkrai and Shaymin paths, it was believed (though not conclusively proven) that the [[Hall of Origin]] was inaccessible through this glitch, as it is a closed-off indoor area without a single accessible entry warp, thereby making it almost impossible to safely locate in the void compared to outdoor areas and indoor areas with many warps such as [[Turnback Cave]]. It was also known that, unlike Newmoon Island and Flower Paradise, simply finding the Hall of Origin would not allow the player to battle {{p|Arceus}}, due to a set of reasons involving map scripts as detailed [[Hall of Origin#Trivia|here]]. Due to the combination of these two factors, it was believed impossible to catch Arceus through the void glitch for several years. A method to find the Hall of Origin was not discovered until January 2017, by relying on relatively extensive methods to be able to dynamically control the layout of areas in the void<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7770.0</ref>. The [[Pal Park Retire glitch]] was documented soon afterward, allowing the player to manually activate the script that causes the player to challenge Arceus, finally enabling Arceus to be caught. The currently documented method to catch Arceus involves reaching the Hall of Origin map while still in the void; there is currently no documented way to see the full, visible Hall of Origin (the way it appears after using the Azure Flute).

In {{game|Platinum}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}}, the void is filled with invisible walls that will trap the player if they go more than a few steps into the void, making it no longer legitimately possible to navigate through its areas, though the void itself is still possible to enter. Currently the only known way to bypass these invisible walls and proceed through the void is with a "walk through walls" [[cheat]] code. As a corollary, a "walk through walls" cheat code is the only way to see "Fake Sinnoh" in Platinum, and "Fake Kanto/Johto" at all (in HeartGold and SoulSilver). In addition, in Platinum, Darkrai, Shaymin, and Arceus will not appear in their respective areas unless the player has obtained the proper [[event item]].

Kanto Pokérap

2017-04-26T20:37:57Z

Sly Fox: /* Trivia */ After doing some research I couldn't find a source to suggest this is true so it shouldn't be here

The '''Kanto Pokérap''' (capitalized '''PokéRAP''' on [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]) was the first [[Pokérap]] to debut in the [[Pokémon anime]].

The Pokérap contains the first [[:Category:Generation I Pokémon|150]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that existed at the time. Two verses would be played at the end of an episode, and by the end of a five-day week, all the verses would have been sung. It was used from ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' to ''[[EP057|The Breeding Center Secret]]''. A full version of the Pokérap is available on part one of the season one DVD box set, as well as the first seven volumes of the [[Kanto]] VHS and DVD sets, released back in 1998-2001. Beginning with the eighth volume, the Pokérap was no longer available.

It is available on four different soundtracks: [[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]], {{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}}, [[Exclusive Target Mix!]] and [[Exclusive Toys R Us Mix!]].

* BG vocals: John Loeffler, Louis Cortelezzi, Ken Cummings, James "D Train" Williams
* Co-produced and arranged by John Siegler

==Trivia==
* The portion of the Pokérap mentioning Zubat-Slowbro and Kabuto-Pikachu was shown on the VHS ''[[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]]''.
* The five split segments were placed into episodes based on their ''Japanese'' airing order. This caused problems during the show's time in first-run syndication; ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'' aired the "Thursday" segment despite falling into the Wednesday slot in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' initially being skipped, with ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' airing the "Monday" and "Thursday" segments respectively despite falling into Thursday and Monday in the cycles due to the loss of [[EP035]] and [[EP038]]. No attempt was ever made to correct this.
** Had the entire first season aired in syndication, the last four episodes of the first season would have been bumped back a whole week in the syndication cycles due to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' and ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' being moved to the start of what was considered by Kids' WB the second season in the dub, thus somewhat correcting the problem due to the four episodes coming afterwards having the segments that corresponded to what would have been their days of the week in the cycle.
* If the Pokémon in the Pokérap are rearranged so that they are in National Pokédex order, {{p|Alakazam}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, {{p|Scyther}} and {{p|Magmar}} would remain in their positions in the song.
* The {{p|Kabuto}} shown in the Pokérap was not a real Kabuto, it was in fact [[Bill]] in a Kabuto costume. Also, the {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Rhydon}}, {{p|Kabutops}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} shown were all actually mechanical Pokémon from ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.
* {{p|Mew}} is the only Pokémon from [[Generation I]] that is not included, because the Pokérap was made before Mew was announced outside of Japan.
* A verse of the Pokérap (beginning with {{p|Articuno}}) was sung by N*SYNC in a Kids WB promo. However, the band members mispronounced {{p|Muk}} as "mook".
* The Pokérap footage for Rhyhorn, Dratini, and Dragonair originate from [[EP035]], the second of the [[banned episodes]]. In addition, bridge stanza footage of Misty reeling in a {{p|Gyarados}} is also from that episode.
* Sheet music for this song is included in {{book|Pokémon 2.B.A. Master|the Pokémon 2.B.A. Master piano book}} and [[Pokémon Five-Finger Piano]].
* There are at least 22 separate instances when a clip from ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' is displayed in the song. Most notably, the images of the mechanical {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Rhydon}} appear frequently.
* On the UK VHS releases of the Pokémon anime, each video ends with the full Pokérap, but one of the vocalists voices was redubbed for unknown reasons.
* Tuesday's verse (Zubat-Pikachu) is the only one that uses episode footage for all Pokémon with no stock art used.

===Errors===
[[File:Pokerap error1.png|thumb|220px|Poliwag is shown instead of Poliwrath.]]

* In the VHS and DVD versions of the Pokérap, when {{p|Poliwrath}} is mentioned, {{p|Poliwag}}'s picture is shown. This is also true of its first few appearances in the TV Pokérap version. In a similar situation, when {{p|Graveler}} was mentioned, {{p|Geodude}}'s picture was shown. Both of these errors were eventually corrected, although they still appeared in foreign language versions of early episodes. However, Netflix's prints of later first season episodes also correct the errors.
* In the German version of the Pokérap, {{p|Krabby}}'s image is shown, but {{p|Hypno}}'s name is shown above. When Kakuna's picture is shown, it says Hornliu ({{p|Weedle}}).
** Also in the German Pokérap, {{p|Lapras}} is pronounced {{p|Paras}}.
* {{p|Lickitung}}'s name is misspelled as Likitung

'''Honey''' (Japanese: '''あまいミツ''' ''Sweet Honey'') is an item that was introduced in [[Generation IV]]. This item can be used on special, golden-colored trees in [[Sinnoh]] to attract Pokémon—most of which can only be found in the wild in those games by use of these trees.

==In the games==
[[File:Bag Honey Sprite.png|frame|left]]
[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 Honey tree DP.png|thumb|One of the trees to which Honey may be applied.]]

===Effect===
When used in [[tall grass]], Honey acts in a manner similar to the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}, starting a [[wild Pokémon]] battle. In [[Generation VI]], this will trigger a [[Horde Encounter]] if they are present in the area; however, in {{g|X and Y}}, it cannot cause a wild encounter if the overworld [[weather]] is not clear.

In [[Sinnoh]], Honey can be slathered on [[#Honey trees|trees]] in order to attract Pokémon.

===Locations===
====[[Generation IV]]====
In {{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Honey is first obtained after the player saves a Honey-selling man from [[Team Galactic]] in [[Floaroma Meadow]], near [[Floaroma Town]]. He will reward the player with some of his Honey. From then onwards, the {{player}} will be able to purchase Honey from him in Floaroma Meadow for {{PDollar}}100 each.

Multiple units of Honey (two in Diamond and Pearl, six in Platinum) are hidden in Floaroma Meadow and may be found using the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} Pokétch app. In Platinum, after the initial six hidden Honeys are found, two will regenerate in the same locations each day thereafter.<ref>[http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/ds/file/946308/56280 Liquefy's Hidden Items Guide for Platinum]</ref>

There are many units of Honey scattered throughout the region, from {{rt|205|Sinnoh}} to {{rt|222|Sinnoh}}. These include two hidden units of Honey, one in a yellow crate in the kitchen of the [[Old Chateau]] and another on a solitary gravestone on floor 2F of the [[Lost Tower]].

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Honey can be found on the {{pw|Big Forest}}, {{pw|Resort}}, and {{pw|Sightseeing}} [[Pokéwalker]] routes.

====[[Generation V]]====
In {{v2|White}}, the player can receive a jar of Honey from {{tc|Gentleman}} Frederic once a day, as long as he is present in [[White Forest]].

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, Honey can be purchased at [[Join Avenue]] {{DL|Join Avenue|Market}}s.

Honey was also an item that could be found in the {{dwa|Dream Park}}, but the {{pkmn|Dream World}} service has been discontinued as of January 14, 2014.

====[[Generation VI]]====
In {{pkmn|X and Y}}, the player can find [[Item#Recurring items|respawning]] jars of Honey on [[Route]]s {{rtn|12|Kalos}}, {{rtn|18|Kalos}}, and at [[Pokémon Village]]. They can also find three jars on on Route {{rtn|4|Kalos}}, and will receive three more from [[Trevor]] on {{rt|5|Kalos}}, when he teaches the player about Horde Encounters.

In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player may obtain a jar of Honey once a day from a {{tc|Bug Maniac}} in [[Fallarbor Town]]'s [[Pokémon Center]].

====[[Generation VII]]====
In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, Honey can be purchased at all [[Pokémon Center]] after clearing three trials, and in the [[Festival Plaza]] for 10 FCs. A Honey can also be found in [[Poni Meadow]].

====As a [[held item]]====
Honey is always held by {{wild|Combee}} in [[Generation IV]] and {{2v2|Black|White}}, and is rarely (5% chance) held by {{wild|Combee}} from {{2v2|Black|White|2}} onwards, {{wild|Surskit}} in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} onwards, and {{wild|Cutiefly}} in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}.

In addition, Pokémon with the [[ability]] {{a|Honey Gather}} have a chance to pick up a jar of Honey after battle. The higher the Pokémon's [[level]] is, the better its chances are.

===Honey trees===
Once Honey is slathered on a Honey tree and at least 6 real-time hours have passed, a Pokémon may appear on the tree. If a tree is left unchecked for 24 hours, both the Honey and any Pokémon will be gone. Changing the [[Nintendo DS]]'s clock will have no impact on the Honey tree's timer.

There are 21 Honey trees spread throughout Sinnoh. Four of them have a chance to attract {{p|Munchlax}}; these trees are selected when the game begins, based on the player's [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]]. The special Munchlax trees are visually indistinguishable from normal trees and cannot be changed short of starting a new game. In general, Munchlax trees are more likely to contain rarer wild Pokémon species, most notably Munchlax itself.

The species of Pokémon (or whether one will appear at all) is determined at the time a tree is slathered. Therefore, once a tree is slathered, saving the game and resetting will not change the Pokémon that will appear on it. However, its [[level]], [[gender]], [[Nature]], [[individual values|IVs]], and other random values may change.

====Munchlax trees====
Which four Honey trees can contain Munchlax depends on the player's [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and {{DL|Trainer ID number|secret ID}}<ref>[http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/past-gen-rng-research.61090/page-34#post-3986326 Past Gen RNG Research | Page 34 | Smogon Forums]</ref> (referred to herein as ''tid'' and ''sid''). These numbers are 2-byte values, and the game splits each into single bytes. ''tid''1 and ''sid''1 will refer to the lower byte of each ID number (calculable by <code>''id'' % 256</code>), while ''tid''2 and ''sid''2 will refer to the higher byte (calculable by <code>''id'' / 256</code>).

The location of the four Munchlax trees is then determined as follows:
:<code>''A'' = ''sid''1 [[wp:modulo operation|%]] 21</code>
:<code>''B'' = ''sid''2 % 21</code>
:<code>''C'' = ''tid''1 % 21</code>
:<code>''D'' = ''tid''2 % 21</code>

The game checks if any of these are equal. If ''A'' is equal to ''B'', ''B'' is increased by 1. The game then checks ''A'' against ''C'', followed by ''B'' against ''C'', adding 1 to ''C'' if it is equal after either check. Then the game checks ''A'' against ''D'', followed by ''B'' against ''D'', and then ''C'' against ''D'', and adds 1 to ''D'' if it is equal after any of the checks. If at any point any of ''B'', ''C'', or ''D'' would equal 21, they are set to 0 instead.

The final values of ''A'', ''B'', ''C'', and ''D'' represent the locations of the Munchlax trees. The number can be treated as a 0-based index into the list of Honey tree locations above. That is, if ''A'' = 10, that means the Honey tree on Route 212 south can contain Munchlax.

====Pokémon groups====
When the game generates a species of wild Pokémon to appear on a Honey tree, it first chooses from one of three possible "groups" of Pokémon before choosing a Pokémon from within that group. These groups are shown in the table below. The 17 non-Munchlax trees have a 70% chance of choosing from Group A, a 20% chance of choosing from Group B, a 0% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 10% chance of choosing no encounter. The four Munchlax trees have a 20% chance of choosing from Group A, a 70% chance of choosing from Group B, a 1% chance of choosing from Group C, and a 9% chance of choosing no encounter.

| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | {{p|Heracross}}
|}

When Honey is slathered on a tree, if that tree is also the last tree that was slathered, there is a 90% chance that the game will pick the same group as it did the last time. If the tree's last slathering did not produce any Pokémon, it will be treated as if the tree had selected Group A.

====Shaking====
Very roughly speaking, the more a tree shakes, the more likely it is a rare Pokémon will appear. The amount that a tree shakes is randomly decided depending on the group that was selected for the tree.

| style="background:#fff" | 1%
| style="background:#fff" | 4%
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 93%
|}

====Pokémon====
If the tree being slathered was also the last tree slathered (and the tree is empty), there is a 90% chance that the tree will attract a Pokémon from the same group that was used before. This will render the rates below inaccurate. See [[#Pokémon groups|above]] for an explanation of the sets and the exact rarities of Pokémon.

===Oddities===
Using Honey (or Sweet Scent) inside a shop or [[Poké Mart]] will cause the descriptive text of purchasable items to vanish until the player leaves the shop. This is known as the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation IV|Honey shop glitch}} and only occurs in Diamond and Pearl.

==In the anime==
[[File:Barry Straw Hat.png|thumb|240px|Barry slathering Honey on a tree]]
In ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening!]]'', Honey was slathered on a tree, attracting several wild {{type|Bug}} and {{type|Grass}} Pokémon as well Ash's {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and a wild {{TP|Cheryl|Burmy}}. The Honey appeared to have been slathered by [[Cheryl]], who wanted to catch a male Burmy to help her find the Enchanted Honey. Cheryl later explained to the group that Enchanted Honey was Honey gathered by {{p|Combee}} in the [[Amber Castle]], located deep in [[Eterna Forest]], which is said to be hundreds of times sweeter than normal Honey. With the help of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, and with her {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}} leading the way, she located the hive of a {{p|Vespiquen}} and its many worker Combee. After helping defend the hive from {{TRT}}, the Vespiquen shared some of its Enchanted Honey with Cheryl, Ash, his friends, and some of their Pokémon. All of them loved the Enchanted Honey, except for [[Brock's Croagunk]], who looked disgusted by the sweet flavor.

Some Honey was shown again in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'', used by {{TRT}} in an attempt to catch [[Aaron (Elite Four)|Aaron]]'s {{p|Vespiquen}}. It instead attracted a {{p|Munchlax}}, much like in the games.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Honey was planted on a tree by a young boy named [[Nathaniel]], which attracted a {{p|Heracross}}.

In a flashback in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Barry}} used Honey to attract a Heracross, which he then caught.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS343|Honey for Combee]]'', as {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} ventured into [[Floaroma Town]], Diamond and his Pokémon smelt Honey and ran off to lick it off a tree. Later, the trio ventured into the [[Valley Windworks]] where they met [[Mars]]. She filled the Windworks control room with sand in order to do away with them. Pearl and Platinum ended up outside the building and were able to uncover Diamond's location inside the building and save him thanks to a group of {{p|Combee}} being attracted by the scent of Honey on Diamond and his Pokémon.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
In ''[[DPA05|Find Munchlax!!]]'', a {{tc|Collector}} uses Honey to lure out a {{p|Munchlax}}. The Honey instead ends up being eaten away by [[Hareta]].

==In the TCG==
Honey is held by [[Combee (Stormfront 57)]].

==Trivia==
* Honey may originally have been planned for [[Generation II]], where unused text refers to an item called '''Sweet Honey''' (Japanese: '''あまいミツ''' ''Sweet Honey''), which could be used to attract Pokémon by slathering it on a tree and waiting about a day, nearly identical to its behavior in Generation IV. The concept was probably split into [[Headbutt tree]]s and the [[move]] {{m|Sweet Scent}}.
** In ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', some trees of the forest produces a sweet sap that tastes like honey. It also attracts wild Pokémon like {{p|Heracross}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, and even [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]].

Glitch Trainer

Sly Fox: /* Chief */ What could possibly be sourced, the game itself is the source

[[File:Glitch Trainer battle.png|thumb|Battling a glitch Trainer]]
'''Glitch Trainers''' are {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that can only be battled via the use of [[glitch]]es.

==Generation I==
Glitch Trainers can be battled in one of two ways: the [[old man glitch]] (if the player's name contains certain special characters in the 3rd, 5th, or 7th slot) or the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} (using {{stat|Special}} stats ranging from 201-255{{sup/1|RB}} or 201-253{{sup/1|Y}}). Unlike other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, glitch Trainers say nothing before or after the battle, and often use [[glitch Pokémon]].

===Old man glitch method===
If the player encounters a glitch Trainer via the [[old man glitch]], the team used by said trainer will be determined by the last team index number loaded, and the team will be always read from an unexistent [[trainer class]] #256 - so if a Gambler with team number 3 was fought last time and the player encounters a trainer via old man glitch, the game will load team #3 of trainer #256, regardless of the encountered trainer class.

Below is a list of the first 10 teams of the trainers encountered via the old man glitch.

===Ditto glitch method===
If the player encounters a glitch Trainer via the [[Ditto glitch]], the attack stage modifier of the Ditto used will [[Ditto_glitch#Level_manipulation|determine]] which team will be used. This modifier is normally 7, causing the game to attempt to load the 'seventh' team; as most Trainers only have one set team, this almost always results in a glitchy team with several [[glitch Pokémon]]. If a move like {{m|Growl}} is used six times to lower the Ditto's attack stage modifier to 1, then the loaded team will be valid.

Two particular Trainers, [[Professor Oak|Prof. Oak]] and {{ga|Blue}}, have three different possible teams based on the {{player}}'s [[starter Pokémon]]; therefore any attack stage modifier from 1 to 3 will work. This is the easiest way to battle Prof. Oak with his original, dummied-out team.

===ZZAZZ glitch===
{{Main|ZZAZZ glitch}}
If the player performs the Ditto glitch and uses a {{stat|Special}} stat of either 251, 252, 254, or 255, the [[ZZAZZ glitch]] (a.k.a. The Exploding Bulbasaur Glitch) will be triggered. This glitch heavily corrupts the game's save file and memory, changing several in-game bytes to have a value of 153; most noticeably, parts of the player's name will be overwritten with multiples of the letter "Z" ([[index number]] 153), and most of the player's Pokémon will be changed to level 153 {{p|Bulbasaur}} (index number 153) with several copies of the attack {{m|Explosion}} (index number 153).

===Jacred===
[[File:Jacred.png|thumb|right|The player encounters Jacred]]
'''Jacred''' is a [[glitch]] [[Trainer class]]. Its name is derived from parts of the preset names that the player can choose for themselves and their [[rival]], specifically "Jack" and "Red". 'Jacred' can be battled by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 200. Unlike other glitch Trainers, Jacred has no defined sprite and can instantly [[Game freeze|crash the game]] when the player's Pokémon uses a move or when the player accesses their party or uses an item.

There is also a ZZAZZ variant of Jacred, caused by using the Ditto glitch with a Special stat of 200 and Growl one or two times. Because this is a ZZAZZ variant, battles can be escaped using a Poké Ball, though the Bag will be corrupted. The screen is almost fully covered by PokéTrainer, but it is still possible to scroll down over Cancel, find a Poké Ball, and escape the battle. After escaping the battle, the player will be in a different Glitch City. The game will not be able to be saved, because when the party is opened, the game will lock. The city has no PC to indirectly save the game, nor a Pokémon Center where the save option can be restored by healing the player's party.

===Prof. Oak===
[[File:PkmnProfWantsToFight.png|thumb|[[Professor Oak]], who cannot normally be battled]]
'''Prof. Oak''' (Japanese: '''{{j|オーキドせんせい}}''' ''Professor Oak'') can be battled by performing the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a Special stat of 226, or by performing the [[old man glitch]] with the character {{MN}} in the third, fifth, or seventh slot of the player's name. Interestingly, the Japanese script uses an apparent earlier name for Professor Oak—he is normally called '''{{j|オーキドはかせ}}''' ''Dr. Oak''.

In the [[Generation I]] games, there is [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|unused]] Trainer data for Prof. Oak. This implies that it was originally going to be possible to battle him.

In the data, Oak normally has a level 66 {{p|Tauros}}, a level 67 {{p|Exeggutor}}, a level 68 {{p|Arcanine}}, a level 70 {{p|Gyarados}}, and one of the Kanto [[starter Pokémon]] at level 69. This places his strength on-par with {{ga|Blue}}, who is the [[Pokémon Champion]] and grandson of Professor Oak. Additionally, four of his Pokémon are identical to the ones used by Blue, but are at higher levels, so originally Oak may have been intended to be in the game as the Champion, or at least another high-ranking Trainer, possibly in the same manner as {{ga|Red}} in [[Generation II]]. This is supported by an email on the PC in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], from the [[Indigo League]] issuing a challenge to all Trainers and specifically requesting Oak to come visit them.

When battling Prof. Oak via the Mew glitch, the Attack of the wild {{p|Ditto}} must be lowered by 4, 5 or 6 stages for Prof. Oak to have the {{p|Charizard}} team, the {{p|Venusaur}} team or the {{p|Blastoise}} team, respectively.

'''Houndoom's Special Delivery''' (Japanese: '''ヘルガーとトゲピー！''' ''{{tt|Hellgar|Houndoom}} and {{tt|Togepy|Togepi}}!'') is the 180th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 11, 2001 and in the United States on December 1, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When Team Rocket attacks our heroes as they travel through a mountain pass, Weezing's Smoke Screen attack separates Togepi and Misty. Togepi wanders away as Misty, Ash and Brock try to locate the pint-sized Pokémon. Finding Togepi scared and alone, a passing Houndoom becomes its temporary care-taker and brings Togepi home to its trainer. Will Misty ever be reunited with Togepi?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are admiring the nice [[Johto]] scenery when they spot a {{p|Houndoom}} delivering something. At the same time, {{TRT}} is also admiring the scenery from the [[Team Rocket's mechas|Meowth Balloon]]. Team Rocket spots Ash and his friends, so they interrupt them with their {{motto|usual lines}}. [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Weezing}} and tells it to use {{m|SmokeScreen}}, making it impossible for Ash and his friends to see. [[Jessie]] then tells her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to attack {{AP|Pikachu}}, but Pikachu is ready and fends it off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}. With all the action, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} gets away from {{an|Misty}} and ends up near Weezing, so to get away it uses {{m|Metronome}}, which ends up {{m|Teleport}}ing it far away. Togepi ends up in a big tree and is scared. James commands Weezing to use {{m|Tackle}} and Ash tells Pikachu to do the same and Weezing is sent flying back into the balloon. Ash sends out {{AP|Chikorita}} to cut a hole through Team Rocket's balloon with its {{m|Razor Leaf}} and they were sent blasting off again.

The same Houndoom from before hears Togepi's crying and rescues it from atop a big tree. Houndoom sees that it is still sad, and gets an apple for it. A {{p|Pinsir}} then tries to attack Togepi, but Houndoom scares it off with its attacks. Houndoom tries to leave Togepi again, but hears its crying and comes back again. This time Houndoom puts Togepi on its back and continues on with its new friend.

Ash and his friends at the same time are searching for Togepi. They all think of the worst, but then Ash has the idea of getting the Pokémon to help them. Ash sends out his {{AP|Noctowl}} and {{an|Brock}} sends out his {{TP|Brock|Golbat}} to help look for Togepi.

In another place, Houndoom is trying to jump over some rocks when an angry {{p|Gyarados}} knocks it into the water. Houndoom struggled with Togepi to get up the shore and this greatly weakens Houndoom as he fell into a short daze. At this time, Togepi tries to climb up a hill, but starts to fall. Houndoom acts fast and saves his little friend. They make their way all the way up to the top of the hill and find a field of flowers with some {{t|Grass}} and {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Togepi has some fun, but Houndoom thinks that it is in trouble and tries to save it. The problem is that it makes a {{p|Venusaur}} angry and {{m|Sleep Powder|puts them to sleep}}.

Back with the gang, Noctowl finds the footprints of Togepi, but there are another set of footprints. Meanwhile, Togepi finally wakes up Houndoom and they get on their way again. Ash and company are hot on Togepi's trail though and they run across the same rocks and see the same Gyarados, but Ash noted it as the young Gyarados. They find a hill and climb up it to find the same field of flowers that Togepi and Houndoom were in earlier.

Team Rocket isn't having very good luck as their patched balloon was leaking air and because of the altitude, they almost crash into the river but banged into Gyarados which pushes them to shore instead. The Gyarados is enraged and sends them blasting off again with its {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

Togepi and Houndoom continue to travel further and further. They go inside a tree for shelter during a thunderstorm. Houndoom notices that Togepi was bored and tickled it with its tail to cheer it up. After the thunderstorm, as they left the tree, near a bush they spot {{p|Raikou|a mysterious Pokémon}} which leaps away after letting off electric sparks.

Ash and his friends seem to have lost Togepi because the footprints have been washed away. They don't give up though and Pikachu finds some fresh footprints. Togepi on the other hand is sleeping on Houndoom's back when it comes back to a farm with [[Mareep farmer|an old man]] with his {{p|Mareep}}. Ash and friends finally catch up and find Togepi. Misty thanks Houndoom for taking care of her Togepi, but then Team Rocket interrupts this happy moment by catching Houndoom in a net. Ash sends out Chikorita again, and it cuts Houndoom free with its Razor Leaf attack. Jessie and James send out Arbok and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} to fight back, but Pikachu and Houndoom save the day and send Team Rocket blasting off again, for the third time.

After the {{pkmn|battle}}, the Mareep farmer leads them back on their way so everyone says goodbye. They start to leave when Togepi starts to cry and runs back to Houndoom. They say a sad goodbye and our heroes continue on their journey.

Chatter (move)

'''Chatter''' (Japanese: '''おしゃべり''' ''Chatter'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Chatot}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
Chatter inflicts damage and may {{status|Confusion|confuse}} the target. If the move has recorded audio from its [[field move]] functionality, that audio will play for the move's sound effect instead of Chatot's regular cry.

If Chatter has no audio data (as is the case for wild and NPC-owned Chatot), the chance of confusion is 1%. Otherwise, the chance of confusing the foe is determined by the volume of the recording.

Generally, the higher the volume of the recording is, the higher the chance of confusion. The recording is stored as a 1000-byte structure within the game as a 4-bit PCM ({{wp|pulse-code modulation}}) recording. When a sound is recorded, 1984 8-bit {{wp|Sampling (signal processing)|samples}} of microphone input are taken at roughly 2000 samples per second. 16 zero bytes are appended onto the end of this recording to create a 2000 byte 8-bit PCM recording, which is then downsized to a 4-bit PCM recording via a translation table:

To pack two 4-bit samples into a byte, the first sample takes up the lower four bits and the second sample takes up the upper 4 bits. Now, depending on the value of the 16th byte in the 1000-byte 4-bit PCM recording (corresponding to the 31st and 32nd samples from the original), the chance of confusion is as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{flying color}}; border:3px solid #{{flying color dark}}"
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Value
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Volume
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Confusion odds
|- style="background:#fff"
| -31 or less || Medium || 11%
|- style="background:#fff"
| -30 to 29 || Low || 1%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 30 or more
| style="background:#fff" | High
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 31%
|}

The volume level roughly corresponding to the specific values are given in the table. Note that since the sample is near the beginning of the recording, it is not necessary to maintain a high volume throughout the recording.

The odds of confusion are not affected by {{a|Serene Grace}}, but are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}.

====Generation V====
Chatter can hit non-adjacent opponents in [[Triple Battle]]s.

If Chatter has no audio data, the chance of confusion is now 0%.

Generation V games record 8000 8-bit samples at 8000 samples per second for its recordings, and convert every fourth sample taken from these, starting with the first sample, to the 1000-byte 4-bit PCM recording in the same manner as that of Generation IV. However, instead of one byte determining the confusion odds, the {{wp|exclusive or}} of three bytes, the 100th, 500th, and 700th bytes (corresponding to the 397th, 401st, 1997th, 2001st, 2797th and 2801st samples of the original recording), are taken. The odds of confusion are calculated as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="background:#{{flying color}}; border:3px solid #{{flying color dark}}"
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Value
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}" | Volume
! style="background:#{{flying color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}}" | Confusion odds
|- style="background:#fff"
| 99 or less || Medium || 10%
|- style="background:#fff"
| 100 to 149 || Low || 0%
|-
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 150 or more
| style="background:#fff" | High
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 10%
|}

Thus, it is necessary to maintain medium or high volume in roughly the first quarter-second for the maximum odds of confusion. The confusion odds are affected by {{a|Shield Dust}}, {{a|Serene Grace}}, {{a|Sheer Force}}, and the combined effect of {{m|Water Pledge}} and {{m|Fire Pledge}}.

====Generation VI====
Chatter's power was changed from 60 to 65. From this generation onward, sound can no longer be recorded. Instead, the move will always confuse the target. Despite no longer being able to record sound, Chatter still cannot be copied by {{m|Sketch}}.

===Outside of battle===
In Generations IV and V, Chatter can be used as a [[field move]] to record audio using the [[Nintendo DS]]'s microphone. This audio will then play as Chatot's cry, as well as when Chatot uses Chatter. Audio recorded for Chatter gets distorted, possibly as a failsafe to prevent inappropriate language from being played back.

If Chatot is deposited in the [[PC]], the recorded audio is reset to Chatot's default cry.

==Trivia==
* Chatter is the one of only three moves in the [[core series]] that cannot be {{m|Sketch}}ed. This is presumably because, as a field move, if Chatter is used by a Pokémon other than {{p|Chatot}}, that Pokémon's cry will not be temporarily changed to the recorded version even if audio is recorded. This is because recording audio via Chatter is programmed to switch Chatter's user to its alternative cry, and only Chatot is programmed to have its alternative cry read from the audio data. Despite all of this, Chatter still remains not Sketchable even in Generation VI, where vocals can no longer be recorded.
** This makes it one of the only two true [[signature move]]s, the other one being Sketch itself. The only other moves which can't be Sketched are {{m|Struggle}} and [[Shadow move]]s in {{Pokémon XD}}, which cannot be learned naturally.
* Prior to the Wi-Fi shutdown, Chatot was banned from the Pokémon [[Global Battle Union]], presumably because of Chatter being used to record vulgar words.

Accuracy

2017-04-26T09:27:36Z

Sly Fox: /* 1/256 miss glitch */ What could be sourced, only the game itself which is obvious

{{move|Move accuracy}}
{{samename|in-battle stat|Statistic#Accuracy|Statistic → Accuracy}}
'''Accuracy''' (Japanese: '''めいちゅう''' ''accuracy'') is an aspect of [[move]]s that, in conjunction with the user's in-battle {{stat|accuracy}} stat and the target's {{stat|evasion}} stat, determines how reliable they can hit their target. Although the concept was introduced in [[Generation I]], a move's accuracy was not displayed until [[Generation III]].

A move's accuracy can be any number from 1-100, reflecting the probability of the move being successful as a percentage (if neither {{stat|accuracy}} nor {{stat|evasion}} are modified in-battle). Currently, however, only multiples of 5 between 30 and 100 (inclusive) are used.

Many moves have an accuracy of "—", indicating that they are exempt from regular accuracy calculations. Oftentimes, these moves affect no one but the user (and/or the partner in a [[Double Battle]]), or are simply intended to be {{cat|moves that cannot miss}} (unless the target has used {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|a move that grants it semi-invulnerability for a turn}} such as {{m|Fly}}).

==1/256 miss glitch==
In the [[Generation I]] handheld games, moves with 100% accuracy had a chance to miss if neither accuracy nor evasion stats were modified. This was due to accuracy being internally stored as a single byte ranging from 0 to 255 (0 to FF in hexadecimal), and the probability of a move hitting being determined by comparing a randomly generated byte to the accuracy value, with the move hitting if it was less and missing if it was equal or greater. There was therefore a 1/256 chance of the randomly generated byte being equal to 255, which could never be less than even the highest possible accuracy value, causing moves intended to be 100% accurate to miss 1/256 of the time and yielding an effective accuracy of about 99.6%. This bug also applied to secondary effects such as {{status|poison}} or {{status|paralysis}}, as well as [[critical hit]]s. (It was not possible to replace the "less than" check with a "less than or equal to" check, as this would enable any of these events with an accuracy value of 0 to succeed 1/256 of the time when the random byte was equal to 0.) {{m|Swift}} was unaffected, as its effect automatically skips all accuracy checks (including the invulnerability effects of {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}) and thus truly has 100% accuracy.

The bug was partially fixed in {{g|Stadium}} by allowing the move to hit if the random byte was either less than the accuracy value or exactly equal to 255; this fix effectively causes every move in the game to hit 1/256 more often than indicated. The fix did not apply to critical hits, which were still capped at a 255/256 probability. It was further fixed in [[Generation II]], which removed this extra check and instead allowed moves calculated to have 100% accuracy (after applying all modifiers) to skip the random byte generation entirely. However, this did not apply to {{m|Protect}}, which still has a 1/256 chance to fail when used for the first time. All 1/256-related bugs were finally resolved in [[Generation III]], where move accuracies are stored as a number from 0 to 100, and the game performs a "less than or equal to" check on a random integer from 1 to 100.

==In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series==
{{incomplete|section|needs=How accuracy is represented in Gates to Infinity and information on Blazing, Stormy and Light}}
[[File:Move Summary PSMD.png|thumb|right|Accuracy indicated by a blue bar in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series until {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, accuracy was instead called "Hit Ratio" and displayed with a number of stars instead of a numerical value. More stars indicated a higher accuracy. For example, {{m|Scratch}} had a Hit Ratio of [[File:PMD Star IV.png]][[File:PMD Star IV.png]][[File:PMD Star IV.png]][[File:PMD Star IV.png]][[File:PMD Star IV.png]][[File:PMD Star IV.png]][[File:PMD Star IV.png]]. Hit Ratio did not always correlate with accuracy from the main series. For instance, some moves such as {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Crunch}} which share the same accuracy in the main series had different Hit Ratios (or vice versa).

The term "accuracy" started to be used from {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, accuracy is displayed as a blue bar in the move summary. Unlike previous games, the [[Statistic|Speed]] stat is used as an accuracy modifier; the higher speed a Pokémon has, the more likely its moves will be to hit.

In the Mystery Dungeon series, there are several ways of increasing the accuracy of moves. Much like in the core series games, Abilities such as {{a|Compound Eyes}} boost the accuracy of moves. Additionally, beginning from Gates to Infinity, moves can be {{DL|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|New mechanics|ranked up}} when they are used over time, which will also increase the move's accuracy. The increase is permanent and will carry over to other teammate's with the same move. Items such as {{DL|Gates to Infinity exclusive items|Items that affect moves|Accuracy Manual}}s{{sup/md|GTI}} or {{DL|Health drink|List of health drinks|Accuracy Drink}}s{{sup/md|SMD}} can also permanently increase accuracy. Certain [[emera]]s can also increase accuracy when added to [[looplet]]s.

ROM hack

2017-04-26T09:24:53Z

Sly Fox: /* Legality */ Sources

[[File:rijonAdventures Piracy Warning.png|thumb|A warning to users about bootleggers included in Pokémon rijonAdventures]]
'''ROM hacks''', also known as '''hack games''' or '''ROM patches''', are video games that have been edited or altered by enthusiasts. The hackers achieve this by changing the code of the '''R'''ead-'''O'''nly '''M'''emory of a published video game to create something new.

The [[core series]] Pokémon game system is considered very versatile and lends itself well to modification, giving hackers a lot of creative freedom together with a solid, well-tested game engine. These factors, as well as Pokémon’s notable popularity throughout the world, has lead to the creation of thousands of different games spanning multiple generations, ranging from minor adjustments to additional new features and, more and more frequently, entirely new fan-made Pokémon games.

There is a distinction between ROM hacks and "bootleg games". These are unauthorised copies of published games which are sold to consumers, often flashed onto after-market game paks or game cards and lacking the official Nintendo Seal. However, since ROM hacks are often distributed over the Internet for free, they are regularly sold as bootleg games, usually against the hacker’s wishes. The reliability of these bootlegs are often poor, and has become such a problem that hackers have started to introduce warning screens into their games, cautioning users that if they paid for it, they may have been scammed.

==History==
[[File:Pokemon Brown.png|thumb|Pokémon Brown's title screen]]
Early Pokémon ROM hacks date back to the late 1990s with modified editions of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. These were often relatively minor adjustments such as sprite or dialogue changes, and would generally follow the flow of the original game. These early ROM hacks were infamous for being particularly crude in nature, ranging from swapping Pokémon and human sprites around to replacing the dialogue with obscene text.

This trend continued until the release of Pokémon Brown by user Koolboyman in the early 2000s, one of the most notable Pokémon hacks in history. This was the first hack to completely re-invent the game, with a brand new region and completely new plot. Later editions included an expanded [[Pokédex]] (including Pokémon from Generations II, III and IV), additional dungeons and additional plot tweaks. It is one of the few completed hack games and was successful enough to warrant a sequel (Pokémon Prism, [[Pokémon Crystal|a Pokémon Crystal-based hack]]) and a Generation III version (Pokémon rijonAdventures) based on {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.

Since Brown, Pokémon hacking’s notoriety has expanded exponentially, with developers creating many software tools for desktop operating systems to help create maps, edit sprites, graphics and even developing scripting languages specifically for the Pokémon game engine. It has also inspired many hackers to learn how to edit the games' assembly code directly (known as ASM hacking). Numerous hacks have been released, often using FireRed as a base, such as Pokémon ShinyGold, Pokémon Naranja and the Pokémon Ruby Destiny series, just to name a few.

There are many websites dedicated to Pokémon ROM hack development. Notable examples include Skeetendo, PHO and [[PokéCommunity]]’s ROM Hack section, the largest known English-language Pokémon ROM hacking community. Many of these sites hold award nominations and ceremonies to showcase some of the best talents of their community.

==Legality==
[[Nintendo]] is against the practice of ROM hacking and has taken action against it.<ref>https://kotaku.com/another-pokemon-fan-game-says-nintendo-shut-them-down-1790360365</ref><ref>https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150911/06482132220/nintendo-hates-you-massive-takedowns-youtube-videos-featuring-mario-bros-fan-created-levels.shtml</ref>

==Game types==
Pokémon ROM hacks tend to fall into five vague categories, though due to the huge versatility of the Pokémon engine, some hacks will transcend several categories at once.

===Dex hacks===
[[File:Pokémon Blaze Black 2.png|thumb|Pokémon Blaze Black 2, a popular 649 hack]]
These hacks are designed to make all Pokémon available in-game, including [[starter]]s, [[event Pokémon]], [[game-exclusive Pokémon]], and Pokémon that can only be obtained or
{{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|evolved}} through [[trade|trading]]/migrating, thus allowing the [[Pokédex]] to be fully completed in a single playthrough of the game. They are often though not always named by simply appending the size of the National Pokédex (depending on the [[generation]]) to the end of the base game's name, as in "Pokémon Red 151" or "Pokémon Emerald 386". Such hacks will often not deviate too far from the official game story, and are often used in [[Nuzlocke Challenge|Nuzlocke]] runs and, more notably, for several runs in [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]].
{{clear}}

===Hard Mode hacks===
These hacks, such as Pokémon FireRed: The Hard Version and Pokémon Expert Emerald, also differ little from official game in terms of story. They instead have a significantly higher difficulty than usually experienced in regular Pokémon games. These types of games too are popular amongst Nuzlockers as an additional challenge on top of Nuzlocke rules. Many fans see Pokémon Black and White 2’s [[Key System|Challenge Mode]] as an acknowledgement of these hacks, though no official link has been made.

===ROM bases===
[[File:Day and Night Mode in Liquid Crystal.png|thumb|Late evening in Pokémon Liquid Crystal as a result of the fan-developed Day/Night System]]
These hacks are often designed to be used as a base for other ROM hacks, and often include major revisions to the game’s base code through ASM hacking to add new features such as additional types or a completely re-vamped tileset. Notable features include the introduction of genders into Pokémon Gold, the addition of a Physical/Special split and the real-time clock into Pokémon FireRed, which gives way to a full Day/Night system, a feature that was missed by many fans in Generation III.

Another noteworthy feature is the development of the UPS format, which allows the expansion of GameBoy Advance ROM hacks from their original 16MB format to 32MB. This has the advantage of effectively doubling the space available for new maps and graphics, but means the game is only playable under emulation and will crash when played on official Nintendo hardware.
{{clear}}
===Language hacks===
[[File:Pokémon Emerald Chinese.png|thumb|A Chinese fan-translation of [[Pokémon Emerald]]]]
Since the core series games prior to [[Generation VI]] were regularly released first in Japan, sometimes months ahead of their international releases, amateur enthusiasts would often translate Japanese-language Pokémon games into English and other languages so they could be played by international audiences. Since the translation was often performed by one or a small group of people, the quality of these translations were often dubious to say the least, the most humorous example being Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal. Nonetheless, these hacks were generally translated well enough to be played and were very popular amongst {{wp|YouTube|YouTubers}}.

In recent years, the core series games have begun releasing simultaneously around the world in more languages and as a result the need for language hacks has somewhat diminished. It does still happen for languages that the Pokémon games are not yet available in, most notably [[Pokémon in Greater China|Chinese]] prior to [[Generation VII]].

===Full/complete hacks===
These hacks are complete overhauls of the games, with new characters, plots, regions and features. They often overhaul the game’s graphics, incorporating those seen in later generation games including battle backgrounds, sprites and map tiles. They will regularly include Pokémon, moves and types from later generations, and will sometimes include brand new ones created by the hacker. Some hacks, such as ShinyGold and LiquidCrystal, are remakes of entire previously-released games, in the same way that FireRed and LeafGreen were remakes of Red, Blue and Yellow.

Because of the extraordinary amount of work involved by a voluntary hacker or hacking team, few of these games are finished in their entirety and are usually playable in the form of a beta. Most of the notable hacks below are considered to be part of this category.

==Notable core series hacks==
With the release of easy-to-use hacking tools for the core series games, there are thousands of ROM Hacks available. What follows is a few notable examples, each with a brief explanation.

===Pokémon ShinyGold===
[[File:Barksh.png|thumb|The player at his house, in [[New Bark Town]]]]
"Pokémon ShinyGold" was a [[Generation III]] [[remake]] of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} using the {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} engine, echoing how FireRed is a remake of {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red|s}}. Whilst not the first of its kind it is amongst the most well-known Generation III hacks, and despite it never leaving beta is still one of the most popular. It is also one of the most illegally sold ROM hacks, with many bootleg versions of ShinyGold available as pre-patched ROMs or flashed game paks. ShinyGold's creator, username Zel, included a warning in later editions warning users about this problem and to demand their money back if they had paid for it.

ShinyGold is one of a number of [[Generation II]] remakes developed by hackers. Other examples include Pokémon LiquidCrystal and Pokémon CrystalDust, both of which include expanded areas and features, amongst others.
{{clear}}
===Pokémon Ruby Destiny Series===
[[File:Ruby Destiny LoG.png|thumb|200px|[[Surfing]] cinematic in Life of Guardians, and example of the 'side-scrolling' perspective sometimes used in hack games]]
"Pokémon Ruby Destiny" is a popular series of games based on the {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} engine created by [[PokéCommunity]] user destinedJaGold. The series consists of three completed games: Reign of Legends, Rescue Rangers and Life of Guardians. A fourth, Broken Timeline, is currently under development. This series is of particular note, as it is one of the longest running completed hack series available, particularly for its in-depth gameplay and plot. It, like other popular hacks, has even drawn interest from Let's Play creators. The series is also know for incorporating the [[Fairy (type)|Fairy type]] into the Generation III game engine, as well as a user-created "Chaos type", alongside several user-created Pokémon (known as "Fakémon" among fans).
{{clear}}
===Moemon===
[[File:Starter Moemon Revival.png|thumb|The Kanto Starters, represented by Moemon]]
"Moemon" (short for "{{wp|Moe (slang)|Moekko}} Monsters", 萌え擬人化 ) is a prominent hack of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} that changes all Pokémon into {{wp|Moe anthropomorphism|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). The game still receives a fair amount of attention, as a patch was released solely for the FireRed hack that updated both the sprites of the Pokémon as well as their menu sprites, functioning like DLC would for any game.

A ROM hack of Emerald has been released as well. Like the FireRed hack, it's a simple change of Emerald, replacing all Pokémon with ginjika counterparts, however, a few aesthetic changes have been applied to both {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and [[Littleroot Town]], adding many [[puddles]] to the town, and the [[Oran Berry]] has, curiously, been renamed the "Weed Berry", possibly for comedic effect.

Moemon received a short burst of fame when gaming site {{wp|Kotaku}} posted an article about it in late 2007.<ref>[http://www.kotaku.com.au/2007/12/pokemon_dressed_up_in_moe/ Kotaku - Pokemon Dressed Up in Moe]</ref>
{{clear}}

===Pokémon Naranja/Orange===
[[File:Pokémon Naranja.png|thumb|Battling [[Tracey (anime)|Tracey Sketchit]] in Pokémon Naranja]]
"Pokémon Naranja" is a {{wp|Spanish}} hack of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} in which the {{player}} plays as either {{Ash}} or [[Misty (anime)|Misty]] and travels around the [[Orange Archipelago]]. Naranja is a Spanish word which means "{{tt|orange|in reference to the fruit, not the colour}}". {{p|Celebi}} appears as this game's [[Game mascot|mascot]]. This game is based on the [[S02|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 is particularly well-polished and features a completely overhauled graphical system, and well as many hours of playtime. Other anime-based hacks include the popular Pokémon AshGray, a FireRed-based game depicting Ash's journey through the [[Kanto]] region in the [[original series]].
{{clear}}

===Pokémon TPP Version===
[[File:TPP Red Anniversary Banner.png|thumb|Boxart banner for the physical cartridge release of Pokémon TPP Version]]
{{main|Twitch Plays Pokémon/Season 2#R01: Pokémon Anniversary Red}}

"Pokémon TPP Version" is a hack of [[Pokémon Red]] created for the [[Twitch Plays Pokémon#Season 2|Season 2]] opening run of [[Twitch Plays Pokémon]] and developed by users pigdevil2010 and EliteAnax17. The hack was based on an earlier [[ROM_hacks#Dex_hacks|Dex hack]] named "Pokémon Red 151" by PokéCommunity user Blue, which featured significant [[level]] increases across the game as well as making all 151 Pokémon catchable in the wild. On top of the previous changes, Pokémon TPP Version includes additional challenges and features, such as [[legendary Pokémon]] respawns, [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] rematches with higher-level teams, and level 100 event battles with [[Professor Oak]] and the original {{ga|Red}} from the first Twitch Plays Pokémon episode. It also includes the Battle Tent, a [[Battle Tower]]-like facility intended for players to earn money without having to repeatedly rebattle the Pokémon League.

This hack is notable as the first ever to be specifically designed for live broadcast, as well as the first to be designed for Twitch Plays Pokémon's unique play style. For example, {{p|Mew}}'s cave (a new post-game bonus dungeon accessible from the area of the [[S.S. Anne]] after pushing the infamous [[S.S. Anne#Rumors|truck]]) is filled with numerous [[hole]]s, making it not too difficult to navigate for a single player but extremely challenging with hundreds or thousands of players controlling the game at once. The game took 39 days in total to complete, with the patch only released after the Twitch community's completion. It is also one of the very few hacks that have been released on a physical cartridge with the hackers' permission as part of a community-led project.

==Non-core series hacks==
[[File:PA hack screen.png|thumb|Screenshot from "Pokémon Adventure"]]
Though the core-series is by far the most popular series to hack, there are also many fan-created Pokémon games that do not use these as basis. These include "Pokémon Adventure", a hack of Sonic Adventure 7 (a bootleg game) for the GameBoy Color and "Pokémon 4-in-1", a hacked game for the NES comprising several mini games. There are also examples of modified versions of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]].
{{clear}}

==Bootleg games==
Whilst technically-speaking these are modifications of published games, the ROM hacking community generally considers these more as "bootlegs" rather than ROM hacks. The main difference being these games were likely designed to trick players into thinking they were official for monetary gain, something which most ROM hackers actively try and avoid. These games were often flashed to third party game paks and sold illegally. Below are some notable examples.

===Pokémon Diamond and Jade===
[[File:KDT Power title GBC.png|thumb|Title screen of Keitai Denjuu Telefang: Power Version]]
[[File:Fake Diamond start.png|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Diamond", its bootleg]]
[[File:Fake Jade start.png|thumb|Title screen of "Pokémon Jade", its twin]]
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 {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}). These games are knock-off versions of the Power and Speed Versions of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, respectively, which were only released in Japan for the [[Game Boy Color]] on November 2000, a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and a month prior to {{game|Crystal}}.

Pokémon Jade is sometimes found on the same cartridge as an illegally produced Pokémon Crystal cartridge but could also be found as a standalone cartridge. It was also mentioned in [http://web.archive.org/web/20030604202427/http://pokemon.com/letters/200324.asp the Pokémon.com mailbag] in 2003 as "the bootleg and illegally produced Pokémon Jade".

These bootlegs had numerous bugs that the real games did not have, such as the inability to load a save file properly. The game also contains broken English, profanity, and swearing, which is absent from all official [[Pokémon games]] licensed by [[Nintendo]], with the British Gaming Blog describing the additions as "a healthy dose of Engrish and plenty of swear words."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20080708225438/http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/?p=580 British Gaming Blog » Bizarre Bootlegs - The Lighter Side of Piracy] (archived copy)</ref>

The real Telefang games do share conceptual similarities with the real Pokémon games. Whereas in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, players take the role of a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who travels through a specific [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]] to obtain or {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Poké Ball]]s and send them out for {{pkmn|battle}}s, in the Telefang games, players take the role of a [http://wiki.telefang.net/T-Fanger T-Fanger] who travels through the Denjū World to befriend creatures called [http://wiki.telefang.net/Denjuu Denjū] and have them battle each other using a device called the [http://wiki.telefang.net/D-Shot D-Shot]. However, unlike Pokémon, Denjū themselves have a D-Shot and call each other to battle. Other similarities between the two game series can be seen in the mechanics of each: the creatures in both share common stats such as HP, Attack, Defense, and Speed; both series have moves or attacks in common, like どくばり ({{m|Poison Sting|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Poison_Sting_(move) Telefang]), とっしん ({{m|Take Down|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Rush_(move) Telefang]), かえんほうしゃ/カエンホウシャ ({{m|Flamethrower|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Flamethrower_(move) Telefang]), or じしん ({{m|Earthquake|Pokémon}}, [http://wiki.telefang.net/Earthquake_(move) Telefang]), and both series also have natures for their creatures ([[Nature|Pokémon]], [http://wiki.telefang.net/Personality Telefang]), though the effects of moves are not necessarily the same in every case, and natures work differently.

===Pokémon Diamond 2 and Jade 2===
[[File:Pokemon Jade 2 title screen.png‎|thumb|Title screen of Pokémon Jade 2]]
Similar to the first fake Diamond and Jade games, Diamond 2 and Jade 2 were hacked from [http://wiki.telefang.net/Telefang_2 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 feature official artwork of [[Ethan_(game)|Ethan]] and [[Kris]] from [[Pokémon Crystal]] along with the character Dragon from the film ''{{wp|Shrek}}'' (possibly due to her superficial similarity to a {{p|Charizard}}). 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 people. Diamond 2 crashes after the title screen, making it unplayable without a save state, and Jade 2 has graphical bugs. 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 Vietnamese Crystal===
[[File:GO TO THE ELF'S WORLD.png|thumb|A poorly translated version of [[Professor Oak]]'s opening speech; note how Pokémon are referred to as "elf(s)", a translation that persists throughout]]
"Pocket Monsters Crystal Version" (popularly known as Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal) is a bootlegged version of {{game|Crystal}}. Translated from Japanese to Chinese to English, the dialogue in the game (now {{wp|Engrish}}) is often nonsensical and unintentionally humorous. All Pokémon, character, and location names are similarly badly translated, often resembling romanizations of Chinese transliterations of the Japanese names. The translation is so poor that the game has achieved a cult status, and is the subject of many popular Internet memes. It was made popular by various "[[Let's Play]]" video series on {{wp|YouTube}}, with the most notable one being by DeliciousCinnamon. Another well-known playthrough is the one by ''[[Twitch Plays Pokémon]]''.

List of clothing (anime)

2017-04-26T09:14:43Z

Sly Fox: /* Main outfits */ The source is rather obvious, it's the episode itself

{{incomplete|needs=images of Lana, Lillie, Mallow, Kiawe and Sophocles additional outfits are missing}}
<div style="float: right; margin: 0 0 1.0em 1.0em;">__TOC__</div>
In the [[Pokémon anime]], while the main characters will generally wear a single outfit for several seasons, they have changed outfits from time to time. At the start of a new [[series]], characters continuing on will change their main outfit entirely. This is a list of the different clothing and outfits worn by the main characters.

=={{Ash}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Ash's main outfits are highlighted by his {{AP|hat}}. They often strongly feature the colors red and blue, along with black, white, green and golden yellow. These are primary and bold colors, accenting Ash's primary status in the series.

====Original series====
[[File:Ash anime art.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's first outfit]]
One of the curious notes about Ash's first outfit is that, unlike {{an|May}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, {{an|Serena}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Lana}}, {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Kiawe}} and {{an|Sophocles}}, it is a unique outfit design in its own right, but is also directly inspired by {{ga|Red}}'s. This fact is also echoed by the outfits of {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}, which were designed purely for the {{pkmn|anime}} instead of using the outfits seen in the games themselves and the artwork for the games.

The upper outfit is a medium blue jacket with gold trim and white collar and sleeves, worn open over a dark cyan or teal t-shirt. Ash kept his [[Kanto]], [[Orange League]], and [[Johto]] [[Badge]]s pinned to the inside of the jacket, which from time to time, would be taken off by him, most notably when his Pokémon need warmth. His lower outfit consists of jeans with light blue cuffs, black and white sneakers with red dots on both sides, and a brown belt, which he used to hang his [[Poké Ball]]s.

Ash also wears green finger-less gloves with light green borders, and of course, [[Ash's hat|his hat]]. The only part of the outfit with a known story behind it is the hat, which he won from a contest from the [[Pokémon League]]. Ash would turn his hat backwards when he was concentrating heavily, such as when he would face a Trainer or capture a Pokémon. This was very much the case early in his journey in Kanto, though by the time his journey in Johto ended, he hardly ever turned his cap.

He has a green [[bag|backpack]] with a yellow square label and slings with black adjusters on it. The backpack has two pockets and two open compartments on each side. The main, bigger pocket is delimited by a black zip fastener, while the external pocket has an orange stripe on it.

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

In [[M20]], which retells parts of Ash's journey from the earlier Kanto days, he once again wears this outfit. However, certain parts of its design are slightly altered. His hat now bears a logo similar to the one he has on his {{series|Sun and Moon}} series hat, except it is colored green and a part of the upper section is missing, which gives it a similar appearance to the old logo. The hat's original logo now appears on his backpack. His jacket now has pockets that are horizontal rather than diagonal, and there is now just a single top button instead of the original two.
{{left clear}}

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
[[File:Ash AG 3.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's second outfit]]
Ash's second outfit was the first alternate main outfit to be seen on any character, and by default, the least expected. Brock and Misty's second outfits would not debut until several episodes after Ash's did. This outfit was given to Ash as a gift by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

Along with a new hat, Ash wore a hoodie instead of a jacket, black gloves instead of green, and new jeans and sneakers. In ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' and ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'', Ash can be seen wearing a T-shirt similar to the original series, but with an orange horizontal stripe. However, he keeps the hoodie closed, possibly because he no longer keeps Badges pinned to the inside. The backpack is green, with one pocket and a red Poké Ball design on it.

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

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

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]'' to ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. Ash has worn this outfit in more different series than any other, wearing it during three different series.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
[[File:Ash DP.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's third outfit]]
Based on the example set by the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, most fans were expecting Ash to wear a new outfit at the start of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

His third outfit takes a step back to his first outfit by wearing a jacket instead of a hoodie, and with colors closer to the original. It also has a white undershirt instead of black for a change, as well as a new hat, new jeans, and new sneakers. The gloves are the same as those from his second outfit. The backpack is similar to the one he wore in AG, being green with one pocket, and having a white Poké Ball design with a red "button". It should be noted that this new outfit possessed some similarities to that of {{ga|Lucas}}, the male player character from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The primary differences are the hat designs, sneakers, backpack color, and the fact that Ash wears open fingered gloves, but no scarf. It also bears traits of {{ga|Red}}'s outfit, mainly the white collar, though there is the fact he is now wearing a closed jacket, another similarity with Red's.

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

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' to ''[[DP191|Memories Are Made of Bliss]]''.

====''Best Wishes'' series====
[[File:Ash Ketchum BW.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fourth outfit]]
As expected, Ash has received a new outfit for the {{series|Best Wishes}}. Outfit changes are now accepted as routine if and when the anime changes sagas.

As with his previous outfit, this one displayed some similarities to the outfit worn by {{ga|Hilbert}} from {{game|Black and White|s}}, with the main differences being the clothing shades, it having a yellow zipper, the coat being nearly all zipped up instead of being partially open nearing the bottom, it lacking a satchel and the hat, which resembles the one from the original series. Ash's new clothing closely follows the same color scheme he has always had: red, blue, yellow, green, black, and white. In this series Ash's sneakers are high tops, rather than the normal sneakers he wore during the other series. Instead of blue jeans, Ash starts to wear black baggy jeans and wears a hooded jacket just like in AG, colored mostly blue and white along with a yellow zipper. He wears black finger-less gloves but the border is red. The backpack is blue-green, with one pocket, black straps, and a light green, curved stripe on it, resembling a Poké Ball design.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' to ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.
{{left clear}}

====''XY'' series====
[[File:Ash XY 4.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's fifth outfit]]
Ash's outfit possessed some similarities to the outfit worn by {{ga|Calem}} from the games, with some differences. Ash uses a backpack instead of a satchel, like his Best Wishes outfit. The jacket that Calem wears has been shortened into a collared shirt for Ash, and a black undershirt is visible, both worn very much in the same style as {{ga|Red}}'s Generation III outfit. Ash wears red high top sneakers, similar to those worn in the ''Best Wishes'' series, and darker blue jeans. The backpack is one pocket, colored green with a white, slanted Poké Ball design on it, similar to previous generations. The gloves are the same as those from his fourth outfit.

Ash's hat continues to sport the rounded Poké Ball design seen in previous generations, and most notably seems to be directly based on Red's Generation III hat; albeit modified to somewhat resemble characteristics of Calem's hat as well. In general, the outfit heavily borrows characteristics from Red and Calem.

Ash wore this outfit from ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' to ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''Sun & Moon'' series====
[[File:Ash_SM.png|thumb|left|120px|Ash's sixth outfit]]
This outfit is almost identical to the outfit worn by {{ga|Sun}} in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, with the coloring of the shirt being inverted and the hat being recolored from black to red, in keeping with the usual color scheme of Ash's head wear. This outfit deviates from Ash's previous styles in many ways; Ash no longer wears jeans, instead wearing ribbed capris shorts with a red border, he now wears only a t-shirt with no jacket or hoodie over the top, and he no longer wears gloves. His shoes are blue and are modeled after those worn by people to stand in water. His backpack is identical to Sun's. He also wears a [[Z-Ring]] on his left wrist.

Ash started wearing this outfit in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''.

This swimsuit actually appeared once before, in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'', but it didn't appear frequently until Ash's adventures in Hoenn.
* In the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, Ash wears red trunks with light blue lines at the bottom and dark blue upside-down v-patterns on the sides.

**He also wears extremely similar pajamas near the end of ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''; however these ones are a much lighter shade of green and have a green button instead of a yellow one.
* Under all his outfits, Ash wears white boxer shorts, blue boxer shorts with dark-blue stripes, light-purple boxer shorts with thin vertical purple stripes, light-purple and purple striped boxer shorts, or blue boxer shorts. He is seen wearing white boxer shorts in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''; blue boxer shorts with dark-blue stripes in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', light-purple boxer shorts with thin vertical purple stripes in ''[[AG023|Gone Corphishin']]'' and ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', light-purple and purple striped boxer shorts in ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]''; and blue boxer shorts in [[SM020]].

When wearing this outfit, he went by the name "[[Ashley]]". The wig was destroyed when Pikachu electrocuted him, but it is unknown what happened to the dress and shoes afterwards. It is possible he still has them. This is the first of four times that he crossdressed (albeit unwillingly).

* Ash also wore blue-and-black-colored ninja clothing in ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save!]]''. Interestingly, he did not wear a white headband like most of the other characters, presumably because of his hat.
* In ''[[AG048|ZigZag Zangoose]]'', Ash wore a Seviper costume.
* Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} wore Hawaiian-styled clothing in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]''.

=={{an|Misty}}==
===Main outfits===
All of Misty's main outfits feature the colors yellow, red, and blue.
[[File:Misty OS 1.png|thumb|left|150px|Misty's {{series|original}} outfit]]
[[File:Misty AG.png|thumb|right|150px|Misty's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit]]
====Original series====
Misty's first outfit, and her best known, is a yellow crop top and jean shorts held up with red suspenders. Most of her midriff is revealed here. She wore red, yellow and white sneakers with it, and also carried a red drawstring backpack with it.

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

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

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

Misty started wearing this outfit in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''. She is also seen wearing this outfit in the special episode ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', but with a pink purse.
{{left clear}}

====''Pokémon Chronicles'' series====
In the early episodes of Pokémon Chronicles involving Misty (''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]], [[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]], [[SS011|A Date with Delcatty]],''), she wears her {{series|original}} outfit. However, in ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'' (which was broadcast ''after'' the debut of her AG ensemble), she wears a new "casual" outfit: a sleeveless yellow top with a hood, slightly longer and looser blue shorts, a small white belt with a pink buckle, and reddish-brown penny loafer shoes worn with white socks.

[[File:Misty Kimono Girl.png|thumb|150px|right|Misty in her pink yukata]]

=={{an|Brock}}==
===Main outfits===
Brock's main outfits contain different shades of the earthy colors green, brown and orange.
[[File:Brock OS.png|thumb|left|80px|Brock's [[Original series]] outfit]]
[[File:Brock AG.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' series outfit]]

====Original series====
One of the most distinct features of Brock's first outfit was his green vest, which had four large pockets on the front. He wore this over an orange short-sleeved shirt, along with brown pants and blue and white sneakers. On either side of his belt, which was black with a gold rectangular buckle, he had attached brown belt pockets. With it, he carried a large, blue backpack with a bedroll seen strapped to it at the top.

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

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' to ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]''.

====''Advanced Generation'' series====
In the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, Brock wore a brown jacket with an orange collar. Under it, he wore a green undershirt, but he no longer wears a belt. His clothing slightly mirrors that of his game counterpart in Generation III.
His shoes are a dark blue, and his new backpack is blue, but has no bedroll.

Brock wore this outfit from ''[[SS001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'' to ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is!]]''. In the main series, it was first seen in Brock's comeback episode ''[[AG004|You Never Can Taillow]]''.

====''Diamond & Pearl'' series====
Brock's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit is one step closer to his original series outfit. He wears a vest again, but the colors are reversed. Instead of a green vest and an orange shirt, he wears an orange vest (which also consists of gray) and a green shirt. His new shoes and backpack are still blue, and his backpack does not have a bedroll.

Brock started wearing this outfit prior in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', and is currently wearing it as of his [[SS027|latest appearance]].
{{left clear}}

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
[[File:Brock DP.png|thumb|right|120px|Brock's Diamond & Pearl outfit]]
* Ash and Brock don party outfits in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. Brock wears a white outfit with large pink frills on the sleeves and pant cuffs. He holds a pair of {{wp|maraca}}s with it.
* Brock fantasizes about wearing a blue {{wp|tuxedo (clothing)|tuxedo}} for a movie premier in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.
* One of Brock's best known outfits is his ''"[[Takeshi's Paradise]]"'' outfit. This was possibly inspired by his outfit in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. It is similar in many ways, particularly the pink frills. However, this outfit is purple and red instead of white. Also, he wears a large {{wp|sombrero}} with it, and his {{wp|maraca}}s now look like [[Poké Ball]]s. He wore a similar outfit in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''
* Brock wears a white tuxedo in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]''. He is seen in it again in [[Temacu]]'s wedding fantasy in ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]'' with a rose tucked in the breast pocket.
* Misty and Brock both wore special outfits for the [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. Brock's outfit is a lime green tuxedo with an oversized sparkling pink {{wp|bow tie}}.
* Brock wears a purple {{wp|suit (clothing)|suit}} in fantasies in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]'' and ''[[AG141|Hail to the Chef]]''. For some reason, these fantasies also always involve Brock's woman of choice in a red dress with a white hair accessory, and drinking milk from a wine glass. However, the suit itself is variable; in the first episode, he wears it with a {{wp|necktie|tie}}, and in the second, with a bow tie.
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Brock wears a beige robe similar to that of a priest covered by some sort of {{wp|cape}} or {{wp|mantle}} in brown, green, orange, and trimmed with gold, all topped with an orange {{wp|cap|skullcap}}.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
[[File:Brock snow pt.png|thumb|Brock's jacket|right|270px]]
* Brock's first swimwear was a pair of light purple swim trunks with three dark blue diamonds on the sides. From the {{series|Advanced Generation}} onwards, these trunks were colored dark purple, due to the different palette used in the digitally colored episodes beginning with ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''.
* In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', Brock wore a pair of olive green trunks with an orange stripe down the side. These trunks would later become Brock's main swimwear in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. Brock also wore his new trunks in the hotspring scene in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', but this is only known from the artwork, as in the scene itself, nothing below Brock's neck was seen above water.
* Like Ash and Dawn, Brock wore a different swimsuit than his normal one in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' - in Brock's case, a pair of dark green trunks with white lines on them. Like Ash's and Dawn's new swimwear, Brock's new trunks are quite unique, as he only wore them in that movie.

=====Snow wear=====
* Brock wore a red jacket and olive pants in ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]'' and ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.
* Brock wore a jacket similar to {{ga|Lucas}}'s in Platinum from ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'' to ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', as well as part of the credits of ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

====Other clothes====
* One of Brock's best known accessories is his pink frilly {{wp|apron}}. He frequently wears it while cooking or doing other chores.
* He also wears an alternate apron, known as the "movie apron" since it is only seen in the [[Pokémon movie]]s. This apron is bright blue with neon green straps.
* In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', Brock fantasizes about wearing {{wp|samurai}} {{wp|ō-yoroi}} armor and a {{wp|sumo}} suit.
* He wore a long, blue, medieval-themed robe for [[DJ Mary]]'s radio show in ''[[EP160|Air Time!]]''.
* He wore army attire in ''[[EP133|Tanks A Lot!]]'' when they had a plan to rescue Pikachu and others.
* He wore a stylish outfit with a matching cap in ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]''.
* In ''[[DP088|Camping it Up!]]'' and ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Brock is seen wearing a gray tank top and shorts as sleepwear.

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

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

====Weather clothes====

=====Swimwear=====
* His first swimsuit was a pair of navy-blue swim trunks with two red lines on either side, as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''.
* The second was seen in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. It is still a pair of navy blue swim trunks but with a sunflower print. He also removed his headband while in this outfit.
* The third was seen in ''[[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]''. It is another pair of blue swim trunks but with an orange stripe painted on the legs.

====Other clothes====
In ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', {{an|Daisy}} fantasized Tracey playing the prince in her water ballet alongside Misty. This outfit consisted of a blue shirt with long sleeves and gold trimming, teal pants, a red cape, and a silver crown. This would be the second time he is seen without his headband.

=={{an|May}}==
===Main outfit===
[[File:May AG 3.png|120px|thumb|left|May's {{series|Advanced Generation}} outfit]]
====''Advanced Generation'' series====
May's main outfit is a red t-shirt with a dark blue circle around her neck, dark blue bike shorts, white skirt, red and yellow sneakers, a red bandanna with a white Poké Ball print, a yellow waist-pack, and dark-blue and white gloves. It is based on the outfit her {{ga|May|game counterpart}} wears in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
[[File:May DP series.png|thumb|200px|May's {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} outfit]]

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

May wore this outfit as of her [[DP079|latest appearance]], and presumably currently wears it.
 

===Side outfits===
[[File:May Dress M08.png|250px|thumb|right|May's dress in ''Lucario and the Mystery of Mew'']]
====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. May wears a white, pink and red {{wp|ball gown}} decorated with tiny bows and with a decoration similar to {{p|Beautifly}} wings on the back. She wears her hair in two different ways in this outfit, with different accessories for each: in one way, she wears a large pink bow styled to look like her regular {{wp|kerchief|bandanna}}, and another, she has little pink pom-poms in her hair.
[[File:May Wallace Cup.png|thumb|200px|right|May at the Wallace Cup]]

* During the [[Wallace Cup]], May wore a new dress for the Contest, which was unique because it had an Arabian style to it. It was a pink top with a yellow heart on it with yellow border on the sleeves and neck. She also wore a peach-pink veil with a green gem on top, and a light purple long skirt with a piece of pink fabric at the waist. Her entire midriff is exposed here. She also wears brown flip-flops with toe rings and a yellow necklace with a red heart.

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
* May's most common swimwear is a yellow hearts two-piece swimsuit with shorts. This was shown in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]'' and ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.

She also wears gold hair clips that hold up her hair in front. On her feet, she wears pink knee-high boots with black socks underneath. She also has a small yellow backpack with all her personal belongings. It is nearly identical to her {{ga|Dawn|game counterpart's}} with the exception of her scarf and bag.

Unlike the female companions proceeding her, whom both changed outfits upon returning in later series, Dawn continued to wear this outfit even throughout her return in the Best Wishes series, and presumably continues to wear it to this day.

===Side outfits===
====Formal clothes====
Formal clothes are a key part of Dawn's wardrobe, since she dresses up nicely for all her [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

In her Chimchar fantasy, she was seen wearing a red dress; in the Turtwig fantasy, she was wearing a lavender suit with a top hat; and in the Piplup fantasy, she was wearing a light green dress.

The only difference is she maintains her gold barrettes rather than wearing pink ones, however, while inside a building, she wears her normal clothing, but with the winter boots and socks.

==[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}==
[[File:Team Rocket trio XY.png|thumb|left|Team Rocket's main outfits]]
===Main outfits===
Jessie and James are usually found in the same outfit at all times: their white [[Team Rocket uniform]]s. There has been some question about the position or rank denoted by these uniforms, since most {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunts}} wear a black uniform of similar design. However, in ''[[EP231|Dues and Don'ts]]'', it was revealed that Jessie and James designed their own uniforms to "express their sense of style." Jessie and James have only been seen wearing a different color uniform in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'', where they (along with the other trainees) wear dark red. They also wore the black uniforms once.

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

====''Best Wishes'' series====
[[File:Team Rocket BW 1.png|250px|thumb|right|Team Rocket's black uniforms]]
Jessie and James changed into their black uniforms in the {{series|Best Wishes}}. They wore these outfits from ''[[BW001|In the Shadow of Zekrom]]'' until ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'' when they switched back into their white ones.

====''Sun & Moon'' series====
In addition to their regular outfits, Jessie, James, Meowth and also {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} dress in light summer clothes when they are in public and off work in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. Jessie wears a purple sleeveless shirt with pink flower prints, a light purple coat tied around her neck, faint purple pants and white sandals; She also wears a light yellow hat, a yellow wristband and brown sunglasses. James wears a light green shirt with light heart prints in the front, light yellow shorts and blue shoes; He also wears a blue and white cap with a green logo on the front and black sunglasses. Meowth wears a red polo shirt, dark yellow shorts, an orange visor hat, orange slippers and greenish sunglasses. Wobbuffett wears a pink shirt, a light brown hat and blue triangular sunglasses.

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

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

====Formal clothes====
* In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the characters dress up in formal medieval-themed outfits. Jessie and James looked possibly the most out of place, perhaps as a tongue-in-cheek joke, wearing extravagant outfits based more on the {{wp|Victorian fashion|Victorian era}} than medieval times. Meowth, on the other hand, wore one of the most well-known of medieval outfits, a {{wp|armour|suit of armor}}.
* Whenever she competes in [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, Jessie wears a large orange dress with light brown boots, with round yellow and orange glasses and her hair in pigtails, under the name Jessilina (Japanese: キャンディ・ムサリーナ ''Candy Musalina'').

====Weather clothes====
=====Swimwear=====
* Jessie and James ''both'' wore two-piece bikinis in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''. James wore his with giant inflatable breasts. These swimsuits were never seen in the English dub, since the scene containing them was cut.
* Jessie and James also both wore swimsuits in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. Jessie wore a blue bikini and James wore blue swim briefs. They both had the 'R' logo on them.
* Jessie, James and Meowth were seen using scuba gears in ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]''.

=====Snow wear=====
* Team Rocket wore green jackets and pants in ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]''.

====Other clothes====
* During the [[Gourgeist Festival]] in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', Jessie and James wore costumes based on a {{p|Gourgeist}} and a {{p|Mismagius}}.

ZZAZZ glitch

2017-04-26T09:11:01Z

Sly Fox: what could possibly be sourced. The only thing I can think of is the game itself which is obvious

[[File:ZZAZZ.png|200px|thumb|right|The player encounters one of several [[glitch Trainer]]s which can trigger the ZZAZZ glitch.]]

The '''ZZAZZ glitch''' is a data-corrupting [[glitch]] found in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It can be triggered by using the {{DL|Mew glitch|Ditto glitch}} with a {{stat|Special}} stat of 251, 252, 254 or 255. This makes the {{player}} encounter a [[glitch Trainer]] that in turn causes this glitch to occur.

The glitch is directly caused by a multiplication routine used to calculate the amount of [[money]] awarded at the end of the battle. As money in Generation I is stored as {{wp|binary-coded decimal}}, the game must perform several arithmetic functions in order to load the proper value into memory; as part of this loading, the game attempts to ensure that the money value is capped at {{PDollar}}9999. However, since the glitch Trainers encountered have an invalid money value unlike normal {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, the arithmetic functions fail to behave as expected, corrupting a pointer<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,36.msg194415.html#msg194415</ref> and causing the byte 0x99 to be written to the first two out of every three bytes for each time the calculated award would exceed {{PDollar}}9999 after the first. For the Trainers that trigger the ZZAZZ glitch, this happens over two hundred times, destroying many important game variables.

The glitch Trainer is usually seen sending out a [[level]] 153 [['M (FF)]]{{sup/1|RB}} or a [[Q ◣]]{{sup/1|Y}} with an extremely long {{stat|Hit Points|HP}} bar; attempting to use a [[move]] or even just view the [[party]] will cause the game to freeze due to the corruption. However, the Trainer can be easily escaped by using any [[item]] (as long as it does not display the party, such as any type of [[Poké Ball]]); doing so automatically causes the battle to end (also due to the corruption). During and after the battle, the player can see that every Pokémon in their party except each third one has been changed to a level 153 {{p|Bulbasaur}} whose first, second, and fourth moves are all {{m|Explosion}}; the player's name except for every third letter has also been overwritten with capital Z's (hence the name of the glitch). All of these correspond to index number 0x99.

Although the player's name has been corrupted, the [[Original Trainer|OT]] values of the party Pokémon have not, causing them to be treated as [[outsider Pokémon]]. Combined with the fact that most of them are level 153, they will always disobey the player (as not even the {{badge|Earth}} is programmed to make Pokémon over level 100 obey).

If the player attempts to battle a regular Trainer after triggering the glitch, that Trainer will become a glitch Trainer with the player's sprite. Their name will either be the player's original name, their ZZAZZ-glitched name, or sometimes a different glitched name, and their party will again consist mainly of several [['M (FF)]] or [[Q ◣]]. Attempting to battle this Trainer will not outright cause the game to crash, although attempting to view the player's party still will. Using items will not end the battle this time. The Trainer is almost impossible to defeat, as the player's Pokémon will not obey (and/or will [[faint]] themselves with Explosion, causing the party menu to appear and crash the game), and at least one of the Trainer's level 153 Pokémon has an extremely large amount of HP.

Less immediately noticeable effects of the widespread corruption include changes to in-game interfaces such as the [[menu]]. If a player attempts to [[save]] the game, the cursor scrolls over 'yes' and 'no' causing the game to crash. The corrupted menu can be partially fixed by talking to a [[Pokémon Center]] nurse, allowing the player to save the game; saving is also indirectly possible via changing [[PC]] [[Pokémon Storage System|boxes]]. Doing so is usually very hazardous, as upon reloading the save file will be destroyed, forcing the player to start a new game.

The inability to load the game is actually due to a failsafe that treats the savefile as invalid if the player's name exceeds the intended maximum length, which is very likely due to all of the previous corruption. If this effect is bypassed such as by having an original name that was exactly 2 or 5 characters long (since every third position is not corrupted and so the end-of-string character at position 3 or 6 will be preserved), then the game will be able to load the corrupted file without problems.<ref>http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,6477.msg187364.html#msg187364</ref>

There is also a ZZAZZ variant of [[Jacred]], caused by using the Ditto glitch with a Special stat of 200 and using Growl one or two times. Because this is a ZZAZZ variant, the battle can be escaped by using any type of Poké Ball, though this is slightly difficult to do as the [[Bag]] will be corrupted and almost fully filled with items named " PokéTrainer". However, it is possible to scroll down past the Cancel button, find a Poké Ball, and then use that to escape the battle. After escaping, the player will be in a type of Glitch City. The game will not be able to be saved directly through the menu, because when the party is opened, the game will lock. The city has no PC to indirectly save the game, nor a Pokémon Center where the menu's save option can be restored by healing the player's party.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

'''References to the Pokémon franchise''' are often made in other media. While {{p|Pikachu}} is a common target due to its prominence as the mascot of the franchise, other Pokémon, characters, and elements of the various Pokémon series are often lampooned.

Sly Fox: /* Spongebob and Coronation Street */ new section

==On the XKCD "not into Pokémon" trend==
Does the trend about dismissing uninteresting stuff with "[http://xkcd.com/178/ I'm not really into Pokémon]" started at some point in 2007 between XKCD (and some others) webcomic readers counts as a reference of some sort? I'm willing to analyze the subject and look for factual references if this is considered worthy of a mention. --[[User:Solovino|Solovino]] 22:30, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

==Fraiser==
I remember an episode where Fraiser shows up at a kid's birthday party and a woman (forgot her name) offers him some Pokémon punch. Fraser declines the offer and instead asks for coffee.
[[User:Auragirl|Auragirl]] 02:09, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

==House==
In a new episode where a patient is storing a bunch of dangerous weapons, House mentions Arceus and the time space legend. No one else in the room understands what he is talking about.[[User:Auragirl|Auragirl]] 02:12, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

==Homestar Runner==
The fact that the Homestar Runner character The Cheat is based of Pikachu is incorrect, as The Cheat was created before Pokemon was really well known in the USA, (1996 The Cheat was created) However, I'm not denying that later on The Cheat was changed to look like Pikachu, just the fact that he was designed like him isn't true.

Among the group, Ash is there, trying to catch a butterfly with a net. Where would this go on the list? --[[User:Reversinator|Reversinator]] 19:55, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

If one were to look in the episode "Party On!" when Sean Kingston is singing, Cody can be seen with a Pokewalker, possibly a reference to the fact that the Sprouse twins did an American commercial for HeartGold and SoulSilver [[User:Cyndaquil155|Cyndaquil155]] 19:38, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

:''"Thunderbolt"'' is [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thunderbolt an actual word], meaning a bolt of lightning accompanied by a thunderclap. While it's possible that it could be a reference, I suspect it's more likely just using a word for its meaning. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:27, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

==My Little Pony==
So, why is the MLP bit listed here? All that happens in the actual episode is that Twilight gets angry and turns into a Rapidash-like figure. It's just temporary for a quick gag, and more importantly, it isn't actually a Rapidash, just something that looks like one. It goes completely unnamed for the entirety of its appearance. It wasn't meant to be a Pokémon reference, I don't think. It's seriously Twilight, not Rapidash, so I'm betting that there was a brony who was being annoying (big surprise) and just added it for the sake of adding it, so I'm removing it now. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 19:40, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

They made fun of Pokémon in the show Strip Mall, which aired on Comedy Central in the 90's. Its super long ago, but I remember the show was about adult movies being filmed in a strip mall. Well at some point they spoof Pokémon and the lead actor gets put in a Coma. In the hospital the guy gets outted about his "Acting career" to his girlfrind by a nurse wanting an autograph. She says she accidentally bought it for her kids and on the cover the guy is a Pikachu. At some point he wakes up from the coma and is then knocked back out by the enraged and sickened girlfriend.

==Put My Little Pony Back in!==
I think it's obvious that the joke in My Little Pony was a parody of Rapidash. It may be a joke about her getting so mad that she catches fire. But try comparing this [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Twilight_angry_S1E15.png shot] to Twilight's normal form and Rapidash. Who does she look more like? She looks more like Rapidash than herself. Really. Let's compare. Normally Twilight has purple fur. This Twilight has light yellow fur like Rapidash. Normal Twilight has purple eyes. This Twilight has red eyes. Normal Twilight has straight black mane with a pink streak. This Twilight has fiery mane like Rapidash. Her cutie mark is gone. And there are other ways that they could have used this effect. One is to make her completely engulfed in flames like Human Torch. She could get an aura of flame without changing color. She can just turn red. Or she can get mad with out any exaggeration. They can even take that scene out. It's not that important to leave it in. Twilight finally accepts the Pinkie Sense immediately after that Rapidash freak-out. While her body shape, height and art-style remained the same and her mane flames higher than Rapidash, she still obviously resembles Rapidash. How can that be unintentional? How would you know if some of the references on this page were intentional? Did the companies state they were? I think if an image obviously screams Pokémon like this, it should be added intentional or not. It doesn't matter if it's brief. It doesn't matter if it's just a character looking that way. It's obvious that Hasbro took advantage of Rapidash's unicorn look, the cartoon physics of bursting into flames when your angry and the fact that their show was attracting a broader audience than intended. I want that My Little Pony reference back in! And My Little Pony had later references for the bronies, like non-anthropomorphic versions of Mordekei and Rigby from Regular Show appearing as Fluttershy's animals. Sure, Regular Show may not have anything to do with Pokémon, but it shows a pattern and helps my Rapidash case.

Let the picture speak for itself. Thank you Twilight. Oh shoot, I just made my first brony meme! Oh well, not like this joke was DONE TO DEATH! There are YouTube vids on this scene, many people commented on Twilight evolving into Rapidash, reviews of Feeling Pinkie Keen has compared her to Rapidash, TV Tropes has noted this scene as a Rapidash cameo. Even the My Little Pony Wiki has joked about this image of Twilight "evolving" into Rapidash. How do you know that this isn't supposed to be a Pokémon nod? She looks too much like Rapidash. There are other ways Hasbro could have done this. I would be surprised if the producers stated that it has nothing to do with Rapidash.

I don't understand how Twilight blatantly turning into Rapidash would be unintentional? Look.

Here's a comparison between Twilight Sparkle and Rapidash. Now tell me, doesn't that moment when Twilight got mad make her look a lot like Rapidash? Red eyes, check. Fire mane check. Whitish yellow fur, check. Lack of cutie mark, check. She looked like a hybrid of herself and Rapidash. In fact the Rapidash is more noticeable than Twilight. She looks like a Rapidash that was transported into MLP universe. Also, how do we know that it was unintentional? Did you know what other ways she could get angry without turning into Rapidash? In fact the anger didn't need to be there in the first place because Twilight instantly calmed down and accepted the Pinkie Sense. Look at her original look. She's purple! And has straight hair with magenta streaks. And she has a cutie mark. She briefly loses that when she turned into Rapidash. And I have to disagree with Golden Sandslash when he pointed out that it was not meant to be a Pokémon reference. It obviously was a Pokémon reference. Why else would Twilight look like that? I mean look at the context. Pinkie Pie has this "Pinkie Sense". She shivered and sensed that a really big "doozy" would happen. The mane 6 get chased by a hydra. They escape the Hydra, but Pinkie's Sense kept tingling, meaning the Hydra wasn't the doozy. Twilight was surprised and confused at what could be doozier than a hydra. Pinkie told her she don't know. Twilight then turned into Rapidash for a second and quickly calmed down and finally believed in the Pinkie Sense. While it wasn't really Rapidash in-story, she clearly resembled one. Was it needed in the episode? No. Did Hasbro know of the Brony fandom? Possibly. Was it intentional? Most likely. Were there other references in My Little Pony to other franchises? Yep. So I'm very convinced that this was meant to be a Poké reference. And very fitting since the pre-evolved form of Rapidash was '''''Pony'''''ta. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 04:28, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
:It is not obviously a Pokemon reference. I saw the episode once upon a time and the thought that she looked like Rapidash never crossed my mind. Anger and fiery/red go hand-in-hand. She got angry so she got bitchin' flames for hair and red eyes against a red background. I'm not an artist, but I can see the white fur being because it just looks better than keeping the purple; or maybe it's just keeping in line with the fire theme: white hot. And the cutie mark could have been forgotten or could have been deemed trivial or in-the-way.

The Princess Twilight didn't make me think of Zelda: Twilight Princess until Joshscorcher pointed it out in his review. But I totally think the Twilight Princess thing was coincidental. Her turning into Rapidash wasn't. And was it that necessary for her to turn into that Rapidash-like pony for a second right before believing in Pinkie Pie? Your playing a guessing game too. Golden Sandslash played a guessing game when he decided the MLP reference shouldn't be there. You guys agreed on one complaint. And I disagree with that complaint.

::::::::::Also, if you thought something like this was unintentional, how do you know if all the other references were intentional? I mean, what if a kid from Kids Next Door cosplayed as Ash was an accident? That may be unlikely but I have a hard time believing that a state of anger that makes Twilight look more like Rapidash than herself. I know there is a cartoon effect of bursting into flames when angry, but I think Hasbro took advantage of the fiery anger effect and thought of Rapidash. After all, Rapidash was one of the original Kanto Pokémon. And even if some of you didn't get the joke at first, a lot of bronies who know about Pokémon got the joke. And the Togepi speculation template is there for a reason. Twilight didn't have to turn white when on fire. She could have turned red. Her pupils didn't have to turn red and merge with her irises. Her mane didn't have to be totally replaced with flames. There is no reason to think it was unintentional and excuses are only good for preventing Nintendo from suing Hasbro, and considering it's really just Twilight getting fiery mad and is a lot shorter and her mane is rising higher, I think Hasbro was already safe. Ling-Ling from Drawn Together doesn't look that much like Pikachu. I think Twilight flaring up really deserves a mention. It's blatantly obvious to me. If it's not obvious, that's your opinion. But many bronies agree that she turned into Rapidash. It was even joked about in [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Sparkle/Gallery/Season_1_episodes_14-26#Feeling_Pinkie_Keen Twilight's gallery on My Little Pony Wiki], as well as the [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Feeling_Pinkie_Keen/Gallery episode gallery].

(reset indent) You know, it gets boring when I become the only one talking on a talk page and no one is commenting. The resemblence is too uncanny for a coincidence. It's so obvious that there's a meme. Thinking of Rapidash would help out the joke. Turning her into Rapidash wasn't a coincidence, it was a clever joke. And it was unnecessary to the episode. Based on all of my reasons, are we still going to ignore it and brush it off as a coincidence or accept it as a sneaky Rapidash cameo? How does it feel like a coincidence?

:#The reference listed on this page was one step to leading me up to being a brony.
:#There was a reason why people a couple times tried to put it back in. It was so obvious to them.
:#We had that reference in the list until Golden Sandslash pointed out it shouldn't be there with an invalid point.
:##So what if it gets entirely unnamed. Most of the reference get unnamed too. If they get named with a picture, Nintendo might come after them.
:##He blatantly called her a Rapidash-like figure.
:##He just guesses that it wasn't a Pokémon reference when a lot of evidence point otherwise.
:##So what if it wasn't really Rapidash? A lot of references on this page have cameos that aren't really the Pokémon represented.
:#Some of you like Tiddlywinks may not have got the joke at first. That's because you forgot about Rapidash. I forgot about Twilight Princess until Joshscorcher joked about it.
:#Thinking of Rapidash makes the joke more funny than when you don't remember Rapidash.

==Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends==
Someone deleted the reference to the "Cuckoo for Coco Cards" episode when Bloo said he had all 150 of the original set. I think they were going for a Pokémon reference there. The plot of the episode involved Coco making "Foster's Cards", which were basically trading cards of Foster's friends. Bloo became desperate for some cards, and after whining to get them, he said, "I've collected all 150 Foster's cards!" shortly before Coco announced she was making a "Series 2". This sounds like a blatant parody of how Pokémon fans were; whining and becoming desperate for them, and then when they collected them all, Generation II came out. Many of the Pokémon parodies seem to use this, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case here. [[User:Matty|Matty]] ([[User talk:Matty|talk]]) 06:54, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
:150 could mean anything. It doesn't specifically refer to the original Kanto Pokémon. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 14:35, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

==Jokamal==
On the episode "Mexican Day" of TV Funhouse (a short lived show on Comedy Central based off the SNL cartoon shorts) their was a cartoon short called Jokamal. The plot was that RJ Reynolds has agreed to stop using Joe Camel to advertise cigarette to children. Instead, the company has decided to make a tobacco free cartoon called Jokamal. It is a parody of the Pokemon cartoon with Joe Camel as Pikachu. Throughout the show, the audience is told to buy Jokamal merchandise and is given subliminal messages to buy camel cigarettes.

== Zits ==

In today's Zits' comic, there is a Pokemon reference. I noticed that, based on the way this page links to comic references, it won't work quite as well for linking to a page, mainly because none of the newspaper comics websites have unlimited access to comic strips. Would it be a good idea to save the image of this comic strip in another website or this website?

By the way, this is the strip in question:

I'm kind of disappointed that this isn't in here.

In Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All, the main character, Phoenix Wright says, "Adrian Andrews! I choose you!" as he accuses her. This is clearly a reference to Ash.

Unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot right now, but I'll try to get one. I would edit the article myself, but I kind of ended up drowning in the code, so I think someone else could do it better.

Anyway, if someone else finds a screenshot first, I'd like to see this in the article.

== This article will be cleaned up ==

This article, as it stand, is a complete mess. Many references aren't references at all ; others are far too debatable, and every little background appearance is mixed in without rhyme or reason with explicit, clear references. As a result, this is what the staff intends to do with this article :

-"List of Pokémon Parodies" will be split off as its own article. Anything that is not actually Pokémon but instead a disguised version of Pokémon (eg, chin-poko-extra-mon, the seizure anime in the Simpsons) will go there.

-"List of background references to Pokémon in popular culture" will be made into a child of this article. Background references are those where the Pokémon reference is something that the main characters don't comment or interact with: a secondary character or extra wearing a pikachu shirt ; a charmander figure sitting on a shelf ; a pokémon poster in the background in a store, etc.

-In all cases, a reference need to be absolutely clear. A red and white circular form ; an unspecified blue wrestler and so forth are not clear (unless you have a a reliable source saying the creators deliberately put that in to refer to Pokémon).

-For TV, fiction and non-fiction (including wrestling and reality shows as well as comedy show and gaming show) are to be split in separate sections.

-For Real World references, only lasting, long-term references. Naming something after Pokémon (a life form, an asteroid, a product, etc) is a reference : mentioning Pokémon in an interview or theming an occasional event after Pokémon isn't.

-For music, explicit, clear pokémon references in a song (or in the band's name) belong in the main article ; background references in the video clip, in the band's fashion styles, etc, go into background references. (Parodies still go into parodies).

-Please don'T add any further websites. We haven't yhet decided how to handle those, but we don't want further additions for now.

Please keep those in mind before adding anything new. Changes will be implemented over the next while. --[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 07:31, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
In [[Ilex Forest]], [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken, Al, and Harry]] discover a {{p|Pichu}} hiding behind a bush. This Pichu gestures towards the bushes and a [[spiky-eared Pichu]] appears. The trio is overwhelmed by the two Pichu's cuteness and agree not to regard them as intruders. As the trio continue patrolling, a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, led by four female seniors, interrupt them. The four senior Grunts accuse Ken, Al, and Harry of acting outside the commands of the four {{tc|Executive}}s.

{{adv|Celebi}}, who has been collecting herbs in the forest, is then spotted by the four senior Grunts. They claim that Ken, Al, and Harry want to catch Celebi and use it to rebel against the four Executives, but the trio deny this and say they are following the orders of the boss {{adv|Giovanni}}. The four Grunts don't believe them and start attacking the trio with their group of {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Furret}}. They then decide to capture Celebi for themselves. After Al's {{p|Hypno}} uses {{m|Switcheroo}} to retrieve a piece of herb that one of the Furret stole from Celebi, Al urges Celebi to get to the [[Ruins of Alph]] immediately. Enraged, the four senior Grunts storm towards the trio, unaware that the two Pichu are in the way. Upon being trampled on by the four senior Grunts, the two Pichu immediately zap the Grunts and their Pokémon.

Meanwhile, the day is dawning at the Ruins of Alph. {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} appear from a portal on the ground. After being stared at by Dialga and Palkia, Giratina leaves through its own portal. Dialga and Palkia then fly away. {{adv|Gold}}, {{adv|Silver}}, and {{adv|Crystal}} have by then also reappeared at the Ruins of Alph with [[Lance]], [[Pryce]], and the weakened Giovanni.

Pryce recites the myth about {{p|Arceus}}, and everyone looks up to Arceus as it towers over them. Gold then notices something familiar among the rubble. He initially thinks it's [[Bugsy]], but in fact it's [[Petrel]] in disguise. [[Lance's Dragonite]] lifts Petrel off the ground with its tail. Lance is not impressed at the way Petrel abandons his comrades. Gold recalls the fact that Lance was defeated by Petrel and wonders how it happened. Lance replies that Petrel had disguised himself as {{adv|Yellow|a girl with the same powers as him}}. Meanwhile, Giovanni continues to be tormented by his illness and admits that he would one day deserve what he gets for all his wrongdoing.

Suddenly, a voice calls out to Giovanni, and he sees Ken, Al, and Harry arriving with Celebi and two Pichu. The four senior Team Rocket Grunts, still on the trio's tail, are stunned speechless at the sight of Giovanni who had indeed returned as claimed. Gold recognizes one of the two Pichu as his [[Pibu]], and speculates the spiky-eared Pichu to be Pibu's girlfriend. Celebi gives its cure for the ailment to Giovanni, and miraculously Giovanni is able to stand up straight again. All the other Team Rocket members rejoice, and Giovanni states that Team Rocket is resurrected once more.

Silver is stunned by the turn of events, and is even more so when his own father asks if he would like to join. Silver quickly gathers himself and turns down the offer. He states that he will bring down Team Rocket with his own hands someday. Giovanni is pleased at what he hears and welcomes his son's challenge anytime. With that, he turns to leave and is followed out of the Ruins of Alph by every member of Team Rocket.

Crystal is concerned that Silver is letting his father go like that, but Gold, who still calls Crystal the "Representative of Club Serious", says that she should just let them decide what they want to do. Gold then remembers what he wanted to say back then about Crystal's new outfit, but Crystal kicks him in the face before he can even start. Pryce then announces that he will be returning to his Gym, and with that [[Silver's Weavile]] returns the stolen {{badge|Glacier}} to him.

Arceus begins to take off towards the skies. Gold, watching Arceus take off, realizes that its rampage was not because of any kind of agenda, but to alert him to the fact that he didn't open up towards [[Togebo]], and Gold is glad that Arceus witnessed Togebo's [[evolution]] into {{p|Togekiss}}. With his mission finally over, Gold decides to take a tour of [[Johto]], and Togebo offers him a ride on its back. Gold tells Crystal that he just wants to see Arceus off, and will return afterwards. With that, Togebo takes off.

Meanwhile, [[Cynthia]] is strolling somewhere in Johto, and sees Dialga and Palkia flying over her. Recognizing them as the legends of [[Sinnoh]] and believing that they are returning to the region, she calls [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother]] to inform her about it. After she hangs up, a middle-aged man appears and apologizes for eavesdropping. He introduces himself as {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, a Trainer from the Sinnoh region, and shakes hands with Cynthia. Cynthia is slightly taken aback when Palmer asks about the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that she saw earlier, and Palmer then reveals that he is in charge of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|IV|Johto Battle Tower}}. Cynthia, knowing that Palmer is no ordinary Trainer, also says that she feels a strange presence around Palmer. Hearing that, Palmer takes out the [[Poké Ball]] of {{p|Regigigas}} and reveals that he was loaned the [[Legendary titans]] from his old friend {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} in order to catch Regigigas. But because a crisis was not imminent in Sinnoh, he is getting ready to return it to the [[Snowpoint Temple]].

By now, Gold has returned to the Ruins of Alph and is about to part ways with Silver and Crystal when [[Radio Director|Hiro]] appears. Seeing the damage caused at the ruins, Hiro claims that bad things happen wherever Gold goes. Gold is annoyed by this and deems Hiro's claim to be just another means of finding things for the paparazzi to write about. Gold then tugs at Hiro's clothes, demanding to see his microphone and voice recorder, but he sees a camcorder fall out instead. Hiro explains to a confused Gold that he's wanted to move to the television business and produce TV shows. Gold is worried that it means Hiro may be filming him at any time, but Hiro denies it and says that he wants to make a cartoon series for children.

Crystal is impressed by Hiro's new ambition, but Gold suddenly snatches Hiro's proposal of the cartoon and sees that Hiro's cartoon idea is completely based on {{adv|Red}}'s {{cat|Red's Pokémon|team}}. Despite Hiro's reasoning, Gold is upset that he wasn't appreciated in the same way and throws the proposal away, which lands in front of Silver.

Gold's [[Pokégear]] suddenly beeps, and he finds a notification from the [[Day-Care Couple]]. He prepares to leave again and explains to Crystal that he has an errand to run for the Day Care: the two {{p|Snorlax}} of Red and {{adv|Emerald}}, that became acquainted with each other, may have laid an egg that the Day Care wants Gold to hatch. Gold also states that the couple are planning to move to another region, and wants Crystal to help out with their migration. Gold then notices that Silver is still reading Hiro's proposal. Silver eventually states that he cannot wait to watch [[Proteam Omega]].

And so, life returns to normal in Johto. Time passes and in the distant land of Sinnoh, [[Johanna]] of [[Twinleaf Town]] is at home announcing to her son that her Berry grill is ready. However, she hears no response, and when she goes into her son's room to check, he is not there. Johanna realizes that today is the day his son takes part in the Next Generation Comedy Grand Prix. Johanna remembers how hard her son practiced with his {{adv|Pearl|childhood friend}} to take the first step towards their dream.

'''Unbeatable''' is the opening theme song for the English dub of the eighth season, [[S08|Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]. It was used from ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'' to ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', as well as in the movie ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

The opening animation is composed of clips from the eighth and ninth Japanese openings, [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]] and {{so|Battle Frontier}}. It was written and produced by [[John Siegler]] and [[David Rolfe]].

==Variants==
# ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]'' - ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'': The original animation.
# ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'' - ''[[AG145|Pasta la Vista!]]'': {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}} are removed from {{TRT}}'s scene; the shot of {{p|Lucario}} and {{p|Mew}} is replaced with [[AG100|a clip]] of {{AP|Pikachu}} using {{m|Iron Tail}}.

This the first dub opening to have a running change to it as its tenure progressed. The reason for this is that the inclusion of animation from [[Battle Frontier (song)|the Japanese opening]] revealed three new Pokémon to western audiences: {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Lucario}}. The former two did not even had official English names yet at the time, while on top of that, Mime Jr. was not captured by [[James]] until [[S09|the following season]] either.

Mime Jr. is simply painted out of the scene. Weavile, on the other hand, is removed by replacing the frames in which it appears with others from the same sequence, thus slightly changing the way Team Rocket dances. A particular frame, however, was created from scratch by mixing three different shots (the original one, plus one for Wobbuffet and one for James's upper body, as both of them were obscured by Weavile in the original), as shown below.

==Trivia==
* This opening has the most Pokémon species in it, with 72.
** Also, this opening has the most Pokémon in it, counting the same species. The scenes featuring wild Pokémon in their natural habitats feature roughly one thousand of them.
** This opening also has almost every Legendary Pokémon released up to Generation III, excluding only {{p|Lugia}}.
* The closing credits feature a shot of Zapdos and Moltres flying past Ash, which is not present in the opening credits.
* This is the first opening to feature Pokémon that were from [[Generation IV]] that had not yet been revealed outside of Japan.
* This opening features the Battle Frontier symbol along with the Frontier Brains, all of whom are shown as shadows with the exception of Noland. This is because it uses footage from the first variant of [[Battle Frontier (song)|the Japanese opening]], which had the Frontier Brains revealed in the sequence as they debuted in the episodes themselves.
** Coincidentally, Noland is the only Frontier Brain to appear in Advanced Battle, while the others did not appear until the [[S09|next season]].

Shiny Pokémon

2017-03-31T21:22:31Z

Sly Fox: /* Generation II */ The source is the game itself

{{incomplete|needs=info and images for Generation VII}}
[[File:Pokémon Gallery Encounter with Shining.png|300px|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]]]]
A '''Shiny Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|光|ひか}}るポケモン''' ''Shiny Pokémon''), previously officially known as '''alternate coloration''' or '''rare coloration''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|色違い|いろちがい}}''' ''differently colored''), and called '''Color Pokémon''' in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], is a specific Pokémon with different coloration to what is usual for its species. It is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species.

The term "Shiny Pokémon" was first created by fans to refer to the sparkling sound effect and animation made at the start of an encounter with one in the games. Eventually, this term fell into official usage in Generation IV, used on promotional material promoting Shiny [[event Pokémon]]. The term Shiny Pokémon was first used in-game in {{game|Black and White|s}} in [[Nimbasa City]].

Shiny Pokémon can differ in color from their normal counterparts very little or very much. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Glaceon}} or {{p|Pichu}}, have a Shiny coloration only a few shades darker or lighter in color. However, many Pokémon have a spectacular difference between their normal and Shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference. An evolutionary line is not necessarily guaranteed to have similar Shiny colorations even if their standard colorations are the same; both {{p|Ponyta}} and {{p|Rapidash}} have orange flames, but a Shiny Ponyta has blue flames while a Shiny Rapidash has gray flames (this is switched in [[Generation II]]). Sometimes, two Pokémon in an evolutionary line with different standard colorations will have the same Shiny coloration, as in the case of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}}.

[[List of Pokémon with form differences|Form differences]], such as that of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, are not normal/Shiny variations of one another, but the individual forms can be Shiny.

In the [[core series]], Shiny Pokémon were first introduced in [[Generation II]] (though Pokémon obtained in [[Generation I]] can become Shiny when traded or transferred to a later generation). This was likely to take full advantage of the capabilities of the then-recent [[Game Boy Color]].

When a Shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or is sent out of its [[Poké Ball]], stars will briefly surround it and make a pinging sound effect (in [[Generation IV]], this will also happen if a wild Shiny Pokémon breaks out of a Poké Ball). In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's cry, while from [[Generation III]] onward, the ping happens after the cry. In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out Shiny will always be Shiny, and one that does not will never be Shiny. Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its Shiny status; for example, a Shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a Shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a Shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard.

On the Pokémon's status screen, a Shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars beside its gender, in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as a yellow star that is animated dimming and brightening continuously, in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} as a small yellow star, and from Generation IV onward as a large red star near its picture. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will be colored gold instead of white, whereas in Generations IV and V, the number will be colored red. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the background behind the sprites of Shiny Pokémon is white instead of gray, and small purple squares are added to the corners. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the border with [[gender]], [[nickname]], and [[level]] will be {{color|68E0E0|teal}} instead of {{color|C8A8E8|purple}}.

===Generation II===
[[File:Lance Red Gyarados.png|thumb|250px|A Shiny Gyarados in the anime]]
In Generation II, Shininess is determined by the {{IV}}s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are all 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be Shiny. Because Shininess is determined by IVs, a Shiny Pokémon traded to a Generation I game and then traded back to Generation II will retain its Shininess, and a Pokémon obtained in Generation I whose IVs meet the requirements for Shininess will also become Shiny when traded to Generation II.

Due to the HP IV being determined by the other four IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's HP IV can only be either 0 or 8. Shiny Pokémon are generally above average in terms of IVs, but only slightly.

The probability of a Pokémon encountered in the wild or obtained as a [[gift Pokémon|gift]], [[in-game trade]], or {{pkmn2|event}} in Generation II having its IVs line up in the above manner is 1/8192. The probability may be higher for [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon as their IVs are partially influenced by their parents. Specifically, the chance of the offspring having the same IV combination as its opposite-gendered parent is 1/512, and the randomized Attack IV has 8 possible values that can result in Shininess, making the maximum probability 1/64 if at least one parent is Shiny and the offspring is of the opposite gender of the Shiny parent. Breeding two Shiny Pokémon, an exclusively female Pokémon with a male Shiny Pokémon or Shiny Ditto, or an exclusively male Pokémon with a Shiny {{p|Ditto}} will therefore always have a 1/64 chance of producing Shiny offspring.

Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny in Generation II. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]] (including from {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}), stationary Pokémon (such as {{p|Snorlax}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}), and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs in Generation I, so always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination.<ref>[http://wiki.pokemonspeedruns.com/index.php?title=Pokémon_Red/Blue_Wild_DVs Pokémon Red/Blue Wild_DVs]</ref> Additionally, in Generation I, if a wild Pokémon {{m|transform}}s again while already transformed, when caught it will be a {{p|Ditto}} with the same IVs as the first Pokémon it transformed into, allowing Ditto's IVs to be [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ditto DV manipulation|manipulated]] so that it is Shiny in Generation II by having it initially transform into a Pokémon with Shiny IVs.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the plot of the Generation II games and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}. The red Gyarados can be found at level 30.

The Pokémon that hatches from the {{DL|Pokémon Egg|Odd Egg}} in Crystal has a 14% chance of the result being Shiny in localized games, and a 50% chance in Japanese games.<ref>[http://upokecenter.dreamhosters.com/articles/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-crystal/pokemon-crystal-odd-egg/ Odd Egg - The Ultimate Pokémon Center]</ref><ref>[https://github.com/kanzure/pokecrystal/blob/master/data/odd_eggs.asm#L98 Odd Egg - pokecrystal disassembly]</ref>

It is not possible to run away from the red Gyarados in [[Generation II]] games. If attempted, the "Can't escape!" message is shown, but the player's turn is not used up.

In the [[Game Boy]] mode of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the sprites of both regular and Shiny Pokémon use the same shades of grey. A Shiny Pokémon can still be identified by looking for the stars in its status screen or by the animation played when it is sent out to battle.

===Generation III===
In [[Generation III]], most of the [[Template:data structure|data structure]]s were completely overhauled. Starting from this generation, a Pokémon's Shininess is no longer linked to any of its other stats. Instead, Shininess is determined by a calculation involving the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[ID number]] and secret ID number, as well as the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

The exact calculation is <code>(TrainerID '''xor''' SecretID) '''xor''' (PersonalityValue31..16 '''xor''' PersonalityValue15..0)</code>, where the latter two values represent the highest and lowest 16 bits of the 32-bit personality value respectively; more detailed information can be found at the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value article]].

The above formula can result in a number from 0 to 65535. If the result is less than 8, then the Pokémon is Shiny. This gives an overall probability of 8/65536 or 1/8192, exactly the same as in Generation II.

In this generation, several [[Pokémon Battle e]] Trainers have Pokémon which are preset as Shiny. Additionally, in the [[Trainer Tower]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are three Trainers who have preset Shiny Pokémon: the Trainer on the seventh floor in the Single Battle mode has a Shiny {{p|Meowth}}, the pair of Trainers on the first floor in the [[Double Battle]] mode have a Shiny {{p|Espeon}}, and finally, the second Trainer on the fourth floor in the Knockout Mode has a Shiny {{p|Seaking}}. No Trainers have preset Shiny Pokémon in the Mixed Mode.

Because Eggs are given the [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]] and [[secret ID]] of the game in which they are generated, if an Egg is hatched in a game other than that of the player who generated it, it can hatch with the appearance of a Shiny Pokémon in the cutscene but actually be normally colored, or hatch normally colored but actually be Shiny. This is due to the change in OT, ID, and secret ID happening after the hatching cutscene. This also allows Eggs that are normally prevented from being Shiny (Eggs obtained from event distributions and the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg) to be Shiny, as long as they are hatched in a game other than the game that generated them.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Pikachu-colored Pichu sit.png|thumb|100px|{{DL|List of Nintendo event Pokémon with in-game effects|Pikachu-colored Pichu}}, a Shiny {{p|Pichu}} available via {{pkmn2|event}}]]
This generation introduced methods of increasing the Shiny probability above the minimal 1/8192. If a long chain is created with the [[Poké Radar]], the Shiny probability can increase up to as high as 1/200 with a chain of 40 or higher. Additionally, breeding two Pokémon with origins from different language games (dubbed the [[Masuda method]]) multiplies the chance of receiving a Shiny Egg by 5, resulting in a 5/8192 (approximately 1/1638) probability. Intentionally foreign Pokémon traded through [[in-game trade]]s do not trigger the Masuda method, however.

In the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], in the bonus round on the [[slot machine]]s, a {{p|Clefairy}} appears on the lower screen. There are three kinds of Clefairy: a {{p|Ditto}} that has {{m|transform}}ed into a Clefairy, a normal Clefairy, and a Shiny Clefairy. Shiny Clefairy are the rarest and last for the most bonus rounds, but are not as rare as encountering an actual wild Shiny Pokémon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the red Gyarados makes its return as a plot point. Shiny Pokémon also appear in their Shiny state as [[walking Pokémon]] when they follow the player.

===Generation V===
Starting from this generation, Pokémon in the Pokédex will appear Shiny if the first specimen of that Pokémon encountered is Shiny.

In these games, {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Victini}}, as well as any Pokémon obtained in [[Entree Forest]] (i.e. from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]) are ensured by the game to never be Shiny. However, like all Pokémon, Reshiram, Zekrom, and Victini still have Shiny sprites in the games' data.

The [[Poké Radar]] no longer exists in this generation, but the probability of obtaining a Shiny Egg from the Masuda method has increased, from 5/8192 to 6/8192 (approximately 1/1638 to 1/1365).

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, as a reward for seeing every non-event Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|New Unova Pokédex]], the player can receive a {{key|V|Permit}} that allows them to travel to the [[Nature Preserve]], where they can encounter a level 60 Shiny {{p|Haxorus}}. Also, after defeating [[Benga]] in the [[Black Tower]]{{sup/5|B2}} or [[White Treehollow]]{{sup/5|W2}}, he will give the player a level 1 Shiny {{p|Gible}}{{sup/5|B2}} or Shiny {{p|Dratini}}{{sup/5|W2}}.

As an additional reward for catching every single non-event Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]], the player can receive the [[Shiny Charm]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. Having this item in the Bag increases the chance of obtaining a Shiny Pokémon by a flat 2/8192, resulting in a 3/8192 chance (about 1/2731) of finding one normally (an effectively tripled chance) and an 8/8192 chance (1/1024) of hatching one through the Masuda method.

===Generation VI===
{{Incomplete|section|Friend Safari mechanics}}
[[File:376Metagross-Mega-Shiny.png|thumb|200px|Promotional artwork of a Shiny [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Metagross}}]]
This generation slightly changed how Shiny Pokémon are determined. While the basic formula is still identical to Generation III and all games since then, the value the formula returns now only has to be less than 16 to result in a Shiny, rather than less than 8. This results in a probability of 16/65536 or 1/4096, double the previous probability.

In these games, when encountered as [[wild Pokémon]], the [[Legendary birds]], {{p|Xerneas}}, {{p|Yveltal}}, {{p|Zygarde}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, the [[weather trio]], {{p|Deoxys}}, and [[Cosplay Pikachu]] are ensured by the game to never be Shiny.

Eggs will no longer appear to hatch as Shiny when they are not, nor hatch normally colored when they are Shiny. This also means that if an Egg from an event distribution is prevented from being Shiny, it cannot hatch as Shiny in any game.

The [[Poké Radar]] returns in this generation after a generation of absence, and the [[Masuda method]] and [[Shiny Charm]] return as well. There are also three new mechanics to increase the Shiny rate: [[Fishing#Generation VI|consecutive fishing]], the [[Friend Safari]], and {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}.

With consecutive fishing, if the player reels in an unbroken chain of Pokémon while staying in one spot, the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon go up. For every Pokémon added to the chain, the chances increase by approximately 2/4096, up to a chain of 20 Pokémon, at which point the chances reach a maximum of approximately 41/4096 or 1%. This effect can stack with the Shiny Charm's effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

In the Friend Safari, empirical evidence shows that Pokémon are eight times more likely to be Shiny, with a probability of 1/512. This is unaffected by the Shiny Charm.

A hidden Pokémon has a small chance to be forced to be Shiny (as well as the normal chance to naturally be Shiny if it is not forced). This chance depends on the Pokémon's Search Level (the number of times it has been seen) and starts at 0.01% at Search Level 1. It grows at a decreasing rate up to Search Level 201 where it reaches 0.09%, after which it increases by a steady 0.01% for every 100 Search Levels. Certain factors can increase the odds further by performing the check extra times. There is a 4% chance it will be performed four extra times; if the player has the Shiny Charm it will be performed two extra times; and if the player is encountering the 50th or 100th Pokémon in a chain of hidden Pokémon, it will be performed five or ten extra times respectively. All of these bonuses stack.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/dexnav_shiny/ Pokemon ORAS DexNav Shiny Encounter Probability Analysis]</ref>

===Generation VII===
{{incomplete|section}}
Shiny Pokémon are more likely to be encountered during [[SOS Battle]]s in which more allies have been called. The SOS Battle system uses an 8-bit counter to store the length of the chain, meaning the chain can reach a maximum length of 255 before it rolls over. Details for Shiny Pokemon appearing between a chain length of 0-70 are currently unknown, but it has been confirmed that from a chain length of 70-255, the game will roll three extra chances for a Shiny Pokemon. Without the [[Shiny Charm]], the chance for a Shiny Pokemon is 4/4096 or 1/1024. With the Shiny Charm, the chance to find a Shiny Pokemon is 6/4096 or approximately 1/683.

Pokémon obtained in the [[Virtual Console]] releases of the Generation I games have a chance to become Shiny when transferred to Generation VII via [[Poké Transporter]]. As in Generation II this is determined by the Pokémon's IVs; however, in this case the Defense IV must be 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15, while the Attack, Special, and Speed IVs must all be 10 (the probability is still 1/8192 assuming all combinations are equally likely). Due to correlations between [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon|pseudorandom numbers]] in the Generation I games, Pokémon encountered in [[tall grass]], on [[cave tile]]s, or by {{m|Surf}}ing on [[water tile|water]] cannot have a set of IVs that would allow them to be Shiny upon being transported. [[Fishing]] encounters, [[gift Pokémon]], stationary Pokémon, and [[in-game trade]]s can have any set of IVs in Generation I, so always have the same 1/8192 chance of having a Shiny IV combination. {{p|Mew}} distributed to the Virtual Console Generation I games have IVs of 15 in every stat, so can never be {{Shiny}}. Additionally, it is possible to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Ditto DV manipulation|manipulate]] the IVs of a wild Ditto in Generation I so that it is Shiny upon being transported.

===Unobtainable Shiny Pokémon===
In all [[generation]]s since Shiny Pokémon debuted, there are a few species that cannot be legitimately obtained Shiny. This can happen if the Pokémon cannot be Shiny in the wild or as an in-game gift (or cannot be obtained this way at all) and has never been distributed as Shiny.

==In the side series games==
[[File:Alternate Color Pokemon Stad.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Gloom}} nicknamed FruitSalad and an {{p|Ekans}} nicknamed KANS-E, sporting different colors (red eyes instead of the usual yellow)]]
===Pokémon Stadium===
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, whether or not they are actually Shiny. The colors a nicknamed Pokémon has are determined by the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name.

In the Ekans Hoop Hurl game in the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Kids' Club|Kids' Club]], there are golden Diglett that are worth extra points.

In Stadium 2, there is an option while viewing the list to exclude any non-Shiny Pokémon from the listing (i.e. ''Group Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''/''Cancel Color <sc>Pokémon</sc>''). This will show Shininess, even if the player is currently viewing a [[Generation I]] cartridge in the Lab.

===Pokémon Colosseum===

{{main|List of glitches in Generation III#Shiny Shadow Pokémon glitch|List of glitches in Generation III → Shiny Shadow Pokémon glitch}}
In {{g|Colosseum}}, like in the core series games, Pokémon have a 1/8192 chance of being Shiny. Likewise, there is a 1/8192 chance of a [[Shadow Pokémon]] being Shiny; however, when a Shiny Shadow Pokémon is captured, it is highly improbable that the Pokémon will retain Shininess. Conversely, when an ordinary Shadow Pokémon is captured, there is still the 1/8192 chance of that Pokémon becoming Shiny when it is sent to the player's party or the [[Pokémon Storage System]]. Shininess is retained through [[purification]]. In Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games.

===Pokémon XD===
In {{Pokémon XD}}, the game ensures that all Shadow Pokémon are not Shiny by recalculating the Pokémon personality value if it would result in a Shiny Pokémon. However, the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Eevee}}, [[Mt. Battle]] [[Johto]] starter Pokémon, and [[Poké Spot]] Pokémon can be Shiny. As in Pokémon Colosseum, the color of a Shiny Pokémon can differ drastically from the handheld games. Shiny Pokémon have a different profile icon next to their health bar than their normally-colored counterparts.

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Pokémon's Shininess is visible. [[Hayley's trades|Pokémon traded by Hayley]]—except possibly {{p|Phione}} and {{p|Mew}}—cannot be Shiny.

===Pokémon Battle Revolution===
In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], Shiny Pokémon have face-sprites which show their Shininess. Random Pokémon in Colosseums can be Shiny, but have the same chance of being Shiny as wild Pokémon. This is due to the RNG, which generates a random PID.

==In the [[spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], a Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} is part of the story, although Shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon WiiWare====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games]] for [[WiiWare]], Shiny Pokémon can be found in dungeons. Unlike the [[core series]], only 36 different species of Shiny Pokémon are obtainable. The chances of finding one in a dungeon is the same chances as finding one in the wild in the core series. Unlike Shiny Pokémon in the past however, the Shiny Pokémon found in these games have an added bonus: their {{DL|Statistic|Belly}} stat is 200 as opposed to the 100 of normal Pokémon. A [[Red Gyarados]] can also be obtained at Level 30 via Wonder Mail password, as a reference to the one found in the Johto-based games.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity====
{{incomplete|section|how exactly does Shiny Ho-Oh differ from regular one?}}
[[File:Eternal Ruins Shiny Ho-Oh PMDGTI.png|thumb|200px|A Shiny Ho-Oh found during the [[Eternal Ruins]] mission]]
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be uniquely encountered as a Shiny Pokémon. Unlike the main series games where Shininess affects nothing other than appearance, a Shiny Ho-Oh will be more powerful than a non-Shiny Ho-Oh, as well as having a different moveset.

====Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon====
The Shiny {{mdc|Celebi|2}} from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky makes an appearance. She is rescued as part of an expedition and subsequently [[Connection Orb|connects]] with the player. She has a unique animation that plays when entering a dungeon.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, {{SSB|Pikachu}}, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}, {{SSB|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, {{SSB|Charizard}}, {{SSB|Lucario}}, and {{SSB|Greninja}} each have several different colorations exclusive to the series. One of {{p|Pikachu}}'s alternate colorations is its Shiny coloration wearing {{ga|Red}}'s hat, and one of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] is its Shiny coloration wearing a straw hat; {{p|Mewtwo}} also has its Shiny coloration in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. All other playable Pokémon in the series do not have their actual Shiny coloration as an alternate coloration.

===Pokémon Rumble series===
====Pokémon Rumble====
In [[Pokémon Rumble]], Shiny Pokémon may rarely appear. They will always tip over when defeated. The chances of their appearance are unconfirmed, although they appear to occur more often than in the core series. Shiny Pokémon are always given a special trait, a blue name in menus, and a star below their picture on the Collection screen. Some Shiny Pokémon can be obtained by the use of passwords.

====Pokémon Rumble U====
Shiny Pokémon return to the [[Pokémon Rumble series]] in [[Pokémon Rumble U]] and function similarly to how they did in the original Pokémon Rumble.

===Pokémon Conquest===
[[File:Nobunaga and Rayquaza.png|thumb|200px|Art of Nobunaga with his Shiny Rayquaza]]
A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} is featured in {{g|Conquest}}, sharing a Perfect Link with [[Nobunaga]], and is his Pokémon of choice during the [[Dragnor#Second battle (Infinite Tower)|final battle]] of the main scenario. {{DL|List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|Nobunaga's Black Rayquaza}} was distributed over Wi-Fi for Japanese {{2v2|Black|White}} players to commemorate the release of the game.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
There are four Shiny Pokémon in [[Pokémon Shuffle]]: {{p|Magikarp}}, {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Genesect}}. However, currently only Magikarp, Gyarados, and Rayquaza have been released. Shiny Pokémon are treated as alternate forms of the standard Pokémon, sharing its [[List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Pokémon list number]] but not its [[Skill]], experience, or {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number|Mega Effects|Mega Effect}} (in Gyarados's case).

===Pokémon GO===
Shiny {{p|Magikarp}} was made available in [[Pokémon GO]] on March 22, 2017, at the same time as the start of the Water Festival. Shiny Magikarp will remain Shiny if evolved into {{p|Gyarados}}. No other Pokémon can be Shiny in Pokémon GO.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
Shiny Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}. Players can only have one Pokémon {{Star}} per deck. The {{TCG|Stormfront}}, {{TCG|Platinum}}, {{TCG|Supreme Victors}} and {{TCG|Platinum: Arceus|Arceus}} sets include three cards each with alternate coloration artwork and a reverse holo effect, but are not classified as an entirely separate rarity. Unlike Shining Pokémon and Pokémon {{Star}}, these newest alternate coloration cards are not limited by special gameplay and deckbuilding rules, and since the names of the cards are not changed to indicate the alternate coloration, they can be evolved into non-Shiny Stage 1 Pokémon, or, in the case of Shiny {{TCG|Evolution card|evolved Pokémon}}, from normal Basic Pokémon.

Shiny versions of several [[Legendary Pokémon]] were also featured in the {{TCG|Call of Legends}} expansion as secret rares under the ''SL'' numbering subset.

From {{TCG|Next Destinies}} until {{TCG|XY}}, all secret rare cards depicted Shiny Pokémon.

Sometimes, cards with Shiny Pokémon are tied to ongoing events in the {{pkmn|games}} or {{pkmn|anime}}, such as the Shiny {{p|Gengar}} [[List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#Gengar|distributed in October 2014]], or the appearance of the [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==In the anime==
{{outdated|needs=images from newer seasons}}
[[File:Ash Noctowl sparkling.png|250px|thumb|Like Shiny Pokémon in the games, {{AP|Noctowl}} sparkles as it exits its Poké Ball]]
[[File:Jessie Dustox and Shiny Dustox.png|thumb|left|240px|Normal and Shiny Dustox in the anime]]
{{main|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime}}
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. This may be due to Kecleon's {{a|Color Change}} Ability, however, similar to the case in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon.

In the [[Orange Archipelago]], certain Pokémon have a different coloration because the climate is different than that of the mainland. For example, a Butterfree, instead of the normal white with black markings, would have gold wings with red spots on them. On [[Pinkan Island]] of the Orange Archipelago, all of the Pokémon are colored pink because the [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] they eat make them that way.

The first true Shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a {{AP|Noctowl}} in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play!]]''. {{Ash}} eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other Shiny Pokémon have appeared later as well, often used to make them stand out more, or be the focus of an episode. The term "Shiny" was first used in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''

==In the manga==
[[File:Gyara Dragon Rage Silver Gyarados DragonBreath.png|thumb|200px|Gyara, a regular Gyarados (left) and Silver's red Gyarados (right) in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Red Gyarados PM.png|thumb|200px|left|The Red Gyarados in Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
Because most manga series are published in {{wp|black-and-white}}, Shiny Pokémon are few and far between. One major exception, because of its importance to the plot of {{5v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, is the [[red Gyarados]].

===In the movie adaptations===
A [[Genesect Army|Red Genesect]] appeared in ''{{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened}}''.

A Shiny {{p|Rayquaza}} appeared in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''. It had the ability to Mega Evolve into a Mega Rayquaza.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]]'s {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, {{adv|Silver}} captured [[Silver's Gyarados|the raging leader]] of a group of Gyarados, who had been on a rampage since [[Team Rocket]] took control of the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and sent out their [[evolution]]-inducing radio waves.

{{adv|Crystal}} mentions that she caught a different colored {{p|Pineco}} as part of the Pokémon sent to {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]''.

===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure manga===
In [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], [[Jō]] and his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}} befriend the [[red Gyarados]] by calming its rampage and feeding it [[berry|berries]]. It later appears to help Jō and [[Lance]] battle [[Ariana]] and [[Petrel]].

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
The Red Gyarados makes an appearance in ''[[PM099|Stop That Strange Sonic Sound!!]]'' where Team Rocket plots on catching it by luring it out of hiding using sonic waves while at the same time, Clefairy went fishing for it. The Red Gyarados is darker than any normal-colored Gyarados in this media.

* In [[Generation III]] onwards, it is possible for an {{pkmn|Egg}} to hatch Shiny on one game but not another. This is because Shininess is partially determined by the Original [[Trainer ID]] and [[Secret ID]] number. Eggs have the ID and SID of the game they were originally bred on, but change to the ID and SID of the hatcher immediately after hatching. It is this change that affects Shininess.
** Confusingly, this means that if a player hatches a traded Egg that would have been Shiny on the game it was originally bred on, it will appear Shiny on the hatching screen (since it still has the ID and SID of the original game), and then suddenly no longer be Shiny afterward (once it has obtained the ID and SID of the hatcher's game). Conversely, it is also possible for a newly hatched Egg to not appear Shiny on the hatching screen and then suddenly become Shiny afterward, if the Egg has been traded.
** While all (Generation III onward) {{pkmn2|event}} Eggs are set to prevent or force Shininess, if a player other than the one who obtained it from the event hatches the Egg, this prevention is bypassed, allowing an event Egg to hatch Shiny. This is the only way to obtain a Shiny Manaphy.
* Due to Shininess being determined by IVs in Generation II, several odd quirks arise:
** Since gender is also determined by IVs in Generation II, it is impossible to have a Shiny {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female}} that is female in those games, as the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female can have is 1, while the lowest Attack IV a Shiny Pokémon can have is 2.
** Since {{p|Unown}}'s letter is also determined by IVs in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be Shiny.
** Since {{m|Hidden Power}} is determined by IVs, a Shiny Pokémon's Hidden Power type in Generation II can only be either {{t|Grass}} or {{t|Dragon}}, with a power of either 49 or 69.
** As Generation II does not allow two Pokémon to breed if they are likely to be from the same family, two Shiny Pokémon can never breed in Generation II.
* {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} have the most in-game event Shiny Pokémon available, with two.
* In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], {{tc|Sightseer}} Marcus appears at the [[Seafolk Village]] [[Pokémon Center]], battling the player with a Shiny {{p|Exeggcute}}. This marks the only time a Trainer outside of a battle facility uses a Shiny Pokémon (excluding capture tutorials).
* It is possible for all of the following to be Shiny:
** The {{p|Poochyena}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}} that attacks [[Professor Birch]] in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
** The {{p|Zigzagoon}} that [[Wally]] uses in the capture tutorial in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
** The {{p|Ralts}} that [[Wally]] catches in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
** The Pokémon that the {{ka|old man}} encounters in FireRed and LeafGreen.
** [[Rental Pokémon]] found in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}} in {{game|Emerald}}.
** Battle Frontier Pokémon used by the AI in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}.
** The {{p|Minccino}} that appears in the "world of Pokémon" intro in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
** The {{p|Purrloin}} that [[Bianca]] catches in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.
** The {{p|Fletchling}} that the rival, {{ga|Calem}} or {{ga|Serena}}, uses in the capture tutorial in {{g|X and Y}}.

Mew glitch

Sly Fox: I doubt this could ever be proven so it probably doesn't belong here

{{Cleanup}}
{{Incomplete|needs=Some incomplete sections; Ditto glitch encounter table could be made neater, it is also missing a bit of information on glitch Trainers, such as which Specials produce the ZZAZZ glitch, the differences between the various different Trainer classes all named "Blue" (as he normally appears multiple times with different battle sprites), and so on}}
[[File:Wildmew.png|thumb|right|A wild Mew being found using the Mew glitch]]

The '''Mew glitch''' (also known as '''Long-range Trainer glitch''') is a famous [[glitch]] found in all of the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games. It was first reported in 2003<ref>[http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Mew-glitch Nation Master - Encyclopedia: Mew glitch]</ref>. It is an extension of the '''Trainer-Fly glitch''' to specifically catch {{p|Mew}} (hence its common name). Outside of Mew, this glitch famously allows players to easily catch any{{fact}} other Pokémon in the game and is the easiest way to catch many unique [[glitch Pokémon]].

All of these methods work on the [[Virtual Console|3DS Virtual Console]]; however, any Mew obtained with the Mew glitch cannot be transported with [[Poké Transporter]].  This can, however, be bypassed through the use of [[arbitrary code execution]], by changing Mew's [[Original Trainer|OT]] to match that of the distributed Mew.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/5q4meg/how_to_trick_pokebank_into_thinking_your_gen_1/ How to trick Pokebank into thinking your Gen 1 Mew is the "legit" one from the event via arbitrary code execution with 8F. - reddit]</ref> Another possibility, of course, is to choose "GF" as your own player name, and receive the trainer ID 22796 through luck, patience, and/or [[Pseudorandom number generation in Pokémon#RNG abuse|RNG manipulation]].<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Z_-umW3Tmo How to Get A LEGIT Shiny Mew in Pokemon Sun and Moon! The Rarest Shiny Ever!? - YouTube]</ref>

==Explanation==
===Trainer-Fly glitch===
The Mew glitch works by exploiting a separate glitch called the Trainer-Fly glitch. The Trainer-Fly glitch is caused by encountering a Trainer that can battle the player at any point in the Trainer's line of sight and escaping from them. These Trainers are nicknamed "Long-Range Trainers" due to the long distance that they can spot the player being defined as the maximum allowed by the game and will spot the player the moment that they appear on screen in the Trainer's line of sight. When the game draws any NPC on the screen, that NPC is first placed in their default direction (south) for one frame, before being updated to face their correct direction. For Long-Range Trainers, this causes their line of sight to point south for the first frame, before correcting to their intended direction. For that first frame, the player can still bring up the start menu and use any [[Field move]] or items from their bag. If the player uses {{m|Fly}} or a similar move or item, then the player will be spotted by the Long-Range Trainer before the player flies away from them. This causes the game to believe that the player is starting a battle when they are actually not, causing various values to be read improperly and creating the core of the glitch.

The player must then battle a Trainer (not just a wild Pokémon) in between the escape and the final encounter, otherwise no encounter will appear. This is because the game initially expects the player to be spotted by the Long-Range Trainer and 'start' a Trainer battle. For this reason, the player must 'finish' a battle with any Trainer before the game can begin behaving properly. Additionally, this Trainer must walk up to the player (have at least 1 tile in between the player and trainer); he/she cannot be talked to directly or walked immediately in front of to initiate the battle, or the game will [[game freeze|soft lock]]. This is because the game believes that the player is about to battle the Long-Range Trainer that was escaped from and attempts to have the sprite of the Trainer walk up to the player. If there is no space for the sprite to walk up to, then the game gets stuck in a loop that prevents the battle from occurring and the player from regaining control.

Afterwards, the player will regain full control and be able to access the menu at will. Should the player return to the same location or floor as the Long-Range Trainer, the menu will pop back up as the game believes that the player has yet to close the menu in the location. After closing the menu, the game will immediately start a battle due to the game believing that the player has yet to enter a battle and ends up generating a battle with a wild Pokémon based on the Special stat of the Pokémon last battled and at a level based on the attack stage modifier of the Pokémon last battled.

For the Mew Glitch, the reason why Mew specifically appears at the end is based on the relationship between its [[index number]], which is 21, and the {{stat|Special}} stat of the Pokémon last battled. In both of the above cases, the Youngster's level 17 Slowpoke and the Swimmer's level 16 {{p|Shellder}}, the last Pokémon in their respective parties, have a Special stat of 21.

Any method of 'escape' from the Long-Range Trainer may be used, including {{m|Teleport}} and both {{m|Dig}} and the [[Escape Rope]] if the Trainer is in a cave area.

==Methods==
===Method #1===
The first documented and most commonly known method to perform the Mew glitch involves the {{tc|Gambler}} on {{rt|8|Kanto}}, who is facing north towards the {{OBP|Underground Path|Routes 7-8}} entrance, and the {{tc|Youngster}} on {{rt|25|Kanto}} who is facing north and has a {{p|Slowpoke}} on his team. The player must have defeated neither Trainer before, and must also have a Pokémon who can use {{m|Fly}} on their team.

The player must stand directly beneath the Underground Path entrance door, at which point the aforementioned Gambler will be exactly one tile offscreen. It is recommended that the player [[save]] the game at this point in case a mistake occurs in a future step. The player then can begin the glitch by taking one step down, and then pressing and holding the Start button while the step is occurring. The Gambler will be scrolled onto the screen during this process and the player will enter his line of sight, but the start [[menu]] should appear before the Gambler "sees" the player.

From the start menu, the player must Fly away (with the most convenient location being [[Cerulean City]]). If the previous steps have been performed correctly, the Gambler will have the indicative exclamation mark appear above his head, but then the Fly animation will begin before he can walk up and challenge the player.

After landing in Cerulean City, the Start, A, and B buttons will not function properly, as the game believes that the player is about to be in a battle. From here, the player should walk to Route 25 and battle the aforementioned Youngster. Importantly, the Youngster must walk up to the player (must have at least 1 tile between the player and the Youngster when the player is spotted) to initiate the battle, or else the game will soft lock.

After battling the Youngster, the previously disabled buttons will now work again. The player must now return to Route 8 (with the most convenient method being Flying to [[Lavender Town]] and heading west). Upon entering the Route, the start menu will appear by itself; closing the menu will immediately begin a battle with a wild Level 7 Mew.

If the game is saved and reset during the glitch, or the player returns to Route 8 after Flying but before battling, or if any battle occurs or any NPC is interacted with between the time of the Youngster battle and the Mew encounter, then the glitch will not work and the game must be reset to before Flying from the Gambler.

===Method #2===
This alternate method is sometimes known as the '''Quick Mew glitch''', as it allows the player to obtain Mew at the earliest possible point in the game.

It is very similar to Method #1, except that the {{tc|Camper|Jr. Trainer}} on {{rt|24|Kanto}} west of [[Nugget Bridge]] should be used in place of the Route 8 Gambler, and the first {{tc|Swimmer}} in [[Cerulean Gym]] used in place of the Route 25 Youngster. As Fly is not available at this point in the game, the player must catch an {{p|Abra}} and use its {{m|Teleport}} in place of Fly.

At the end of the glitch, the player should return to Route 24 rather than Route 8, as that is the area where the glitch began.

==Extensions==
The mechanics of the Mew glitch are rife with possibilities, making it one of the most useful glitches in the game.

===Extended Mew glitch===
{{Incomplete|section|needs=Does using moves that alter the Pokémon's special stage modifier like Growth, Amnesia, etc. affect the species encountered? Either way it should be documented here}}
As the Pokémon that appears from the glitch is based on the Special stat of the Pokémon last battled, the player can easily manipulate which species appears by battling a different Trainer, or even by encountering wild Pokémon after the escape and Trainer battle but before the encounter. For example, the {{tc|Lass}} at the top of the first floor of [[Mt. Moon]] has a level 11 {{p|Bellsprout}} with a Special stat of 22 last in her party, and so battling her last in the glitch will result in encountering a level 7 {{p|Gyarados}}, whose index number is 22.

===Ditto glitch===
The easiest way to manipulate the last encountered Special stat when performing the glitch is to first obtain it on one's own Pokémon, and battle a wild {{p|Ditto}}. Send out the Pokémon with the desired Special stat on itself, and wait for the wild Ditto to use {{m|Transform}}. As the move Transform copies all of the target's stats, the Ditto will take on the Special stat of the Pokémon sent out. After defeating it, proceed as normal, being sure to not battle any other Pokémon before the end of the glitch.

The Special stat on the player's own Pokémon can be caused either by natural leveling or by {{EV|stat experience}}.

In {{game|Yellow}}, as wild Ditto can only be found in the basement of {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, it is highly recommended to bring an Escape Rope or a Pokémon who knows Dig, in order to leave the Mansion immediately after battling the Ditto. If the player attempts to walk out of the Mansion and encounters another wild Pokémon on the first floor, its Special stat will overwrite that of the Ditto and cause a different Pokémon than the one desired to be encountered.

As it is easily possible for one's Special stat to exceed 190, the highest index number of a valid Pokémon, the Ditto glitch allows easy access to several [[glitch Pokémon]] for Special stats of 191 or higher. For example, in Red/Blue, a Special stat of 198 will lead to battling a [[ゥL ゥM 4]]. If the Special stat is between 200 and 255, the player will instead battle a [[glitch Trainer]] instead of a wild Pokémon. It is even possible to battle [[Professor Oak]] in this way. Some Special stats (namely [[Jacred|200]] and 248-255) correspond to invalid [[Trainer class]]es and may lead to the memory-corrupting [[ZZAZZ glitch]] depending on the level/roster value (which defaults to 7; see [[:#Level and roster manipulation|level and roster manipulation]]). As the ZZAZZ glitch can be hazardous to the [[save]] file, performing the Ditto glitch with these Special stats should be avoided.

Special stats of 256 or higher will wrap around to 0 and continue from there, as index numbers are limited to one byte. For example, a Special stat of 300 will yield exactly the same effects as a Special stat of 44. This is the only way to use the Ditto glitch to encounter Pokémon whose index values are less than 5 (as Special stats cannot normally go lower than that).

===Level and roster manipulation===
A Pokémon encountered at the end of the Mew glitch most commonly appears at level 7. The reason for this is because, just as the previous Pokémon's Special stat corresponds to the [[index number]] of the encountered Pokémon, the previous Pokémon's attack stage modifier corresponds to the [[level]] of the encountered Pokémon. This attack stage is often expressed as ranging from -6 to +6, but is actually stored internally as a number ranging from 1 to 13, with 7 being the default. Therefore, if the player uses a move like {{m|Growl}} once on the previous Pokémon, the encountered Pokémon will appear at level 6.<ref>[http://www.glitchcity.info/wiki/index.php/Ditto_Trick Glitch City Laboratories' page about the Ditto glitch]</ref>

Using Growl six times to minimize the attack stage modifier will result in encountering a level 1 Pokémon, which cannot normally be found and can lead to the [[experience underflow glitch]]. Conversely, {{m|Rage}} or {{m|Meditate}} can raise the level of the Pokémon that will be encountered.

If the Ditto glitch is used and a [[glitch Trainer]] is encountered, the team that the [[Trainer class]] uses corresponds to the attack stage modifier. This usually results in the game attempting to load the 7th possible [[party]] of that Trainer, which may not exist (for example, Trainer classes such as Brock, Misty, and Lance have only one valid party). If a Trainer with invalid party data is battled, the Trainer's team will likely contain glitch Pokémon. However, if the attack stage modifier is first lowered to 1, then the game will attempt to load a valid 1st party. Roster manipulation is most notable in the case of battling Professor Oak, who has three valid parties (corresponding to each of the [[starter Pokémon]]) and so an attack stage modifier from 1 to 3 will allow the player to battle one of his otherwise inaccessible valid teams. When the game does load an 'out of bounds' roster, the game will take a team from the subsequent Trainer class or classes by index number, if one exists; for example, Bruno (233)'s roster #2 will be the same as Brock (234)'s roster #1, and Bruno (233)'s roster #7 will be the same as Blaine (239)'s roster #1 (as all Trainer classes from 233 to 239 contain only one valid party).

===Sub-Glitches===
====Snorlax skip glitch====
{{Incomplete|section|needs=What is the object removed when performing the Mew glitch on either of the 'standard' two methods above?}}
Several areas in the game contain 'removable objects', or a list of sprites that can be permanently deleted from the area. This list includes all [[item]] balls, various NPCs such as the [[Team Rocket]] Grunts that block buildings in [[Saffron City]], and, importantly, any one-time stationary wild Pokémon, such as the [[legendary birds]]. Whenever a player enters an area, if the area contains any removable objects, then the game will load the list from that area into memory.

Whenever the player encounters a wild Pokémon, the game checks to see if it was generated from a random encounter table. If it was not, then the game assumes that the player must be battling a one-time stationary encounter. When making this assumption, the game will automatically delete that stationary sprite from the list of removable objects for the area, to prevent the player from encountering the one-time Pokémon again.

The key is that a wild Pokémon encountered through the Mew glitch has not been generated from a random encounter table, and thus the game will assume that the player is battling a stationary encounter and attempt to delete a sprite. However, if the player is currently not in an area that contains any removable objects, the game will simply use whatever list is currently in memory - namely, the list from the most recent area the player was in that contained removable objects. This behavior can be used to bypass various obstacles in the game, most notably allowing the player to remove the {{p|Snorlax}} on {{rt|12|Kanto}} and thus skipping not only the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]] (as the player no longer has to pick up the [[Poké Flute]]), but also the entirety of {{rt|9|Kanto}}, {{rt|10|Kanto}}, and [[Rock Tunnel]], as well as postponing the [[Cerulean Gym]] and the [[S.S. Anne]] until the end of the game (as the player no longer needs {{HM|01|Cut}} to get access to Route 9).

To perform the above particular Snorlax skip glitch (assuming the goal is to complete the game as fast as possible), the player must first enter Route 12 (from the {{rt|11|Kanto}} side), in order to load its removable objects list into memory including Snorlax. The player must then head through [[Vermilion City]] and perform the Trainer-Fly glitch from a long-range Trainer on either {{rt|6|Kanto}} or Route 11, escaping back to Vermilion City. The player can complete the Trainer-Fly glitch by battling any Trainer on Route 6 or 11 (whichever the long-range Trainer is not on) and returning to the other route to trigger the Special encounter. Upon battling whatever wild Pokémon was generated on Route 6, the game will attempt to delete a sprite from the removable objects list currently in memory. As Route 11, Vermilion City, and Route 6 are all free of removable objects, the list currently in memory will be that of Route 12, and the Snorlax will disappear after the battle ends.

When performing the Mew glitch in general, care must be taken to avoid accidentally deleting an undesired sprite. If the list of removable objects in memory at the time of the Special encounter does not properly contain a stationary Pokémon encounter sprite as expected, the game may end up deleting item balls or other desirable objects, if the player has not picked them up already.

====Mew glitch without a long-range Trainer====
If there is [[tall grass]] in the tile immediately in front of a Trainer's line of sight, or a Trainer is in a cave, then the 'Trainer-Fly' effect can be initiated even if that Trainer is not a long-range Trainer. This can only occur if the player is lucky enough to generate a (natural) [[wild]] encounter on the exact tile immediately in front of the Trainer. If the player then [[black out|blacks out]] from this wild battle, they will be warped back to the Pokémon Center as normal, but the Trainer will see the player before he/she warps back (the "!" is visible very briefly during the blackout animation).

A number of glitch items enable the player to move around on the map without being seen by Trainers; if the glitch item's effect is disabled while in front of a Trainer, then a Trainer-Fly effect can begin.

====Text box errors and variations====
This can be also one of the side-effects of the Mew glitch If the player causes a text box to pop up before returning to the area where the long-range Trainer was escaped from, such as by talking to a NPC or reading a sign, then something other than the start menu will pop up at the end of the glitch. This is typically dialogue from Trainers on the route, which may be followed by a wild Pokémon battle, after which the player will no longer be able to move.{{fact}} Alternately, the text may be from interacting with a sign or an item; in the latter case, the item will appear in the player's inventory and disappear from the route as if they had picked it up normally. This may also allow the player to obtain items which are not currently on the route. Finally, instead of a text box, the player may trigger other glitches, such as [[glitch song]]s or [[0 ERROR]].

====No Trainers remaining====
=====One long-range Trainer remaining=====
As the method written above requires the player to battle another Trainer (in a different area) after escaping from the long-range Trainer, this can cause problems if all possible Trainers have been defeated. The [[Elite Four]] can be rebattled indefinitely, but as the A button to talk to characters remains nonfunctional until a Trainer has been defeated, it is not possible to challenge them directly. Nor can the player directly save the game as the start menu cannot be opened.

To remedy this, after escaping the long-range Trainer, the player must visit a PC and save the game indirectly by switching boxes. (The A and B buttons remain functional for the PC.) After saving, the player must reset the game. This makes the Start, A, and B buttons functional again.

At this point, there are a number of methods that can be used to complete the glitch:
* As implied above, the player can now defeat the entire [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. This will count as a Trainer battle, and the player can then return to the area of the first long-range Trainer to complete the glitch.
* As the above method is tedious, a much simpler alternate method is to simply go to [[Pewter City]] and talk to the NPC who brings the player to the Museum (the player must choose No to his question, so he will actually walk the player there). This will count as a battle being initiate. However, the player must encounter a Pokémon after this to get an actual Special stat loaded into memory. The Start menu must also be flashed after this, to prevent a possible text box error (see above).
* As the Museum person is vulnerable to the Snorlax skip glitch side effect (see above), the above method may fail to work after being used once. An even simpler alternate method is to simply push any [[Strength]] boulder, which will count as a battle being initiate. (No other [[HM]]s behave this way as none of them move sprites or objects.)

{{Incomplete|section|Describe why all of the above actually work; see http://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php/topic,7365.0.html. For the same reason, losing to the second Trainer (see below) works but losing to the Elite Four or Champion does not.}}

Note that as long as the player has at least one undefeated Trainer in a different area than the long-range Trainer, they can avoid having to do any of the above indefinitely. It is not necessary to defeat another Trainer after escaping, only battle one, so a player can deliberately lose to a Trainer and continue on with the glitch, and that Trainer will remain battleable. However, if the player loses to that Trainer and then goes back to the area of the long-range Trainer and battles a Pokémon with this glitch, the long-range Trainer will no longer be battleable.

=====No Trainers to escape from at all=====
Using the "dry" variation of the [[item underflow|item underflow glitch]], which does not require an event that takes an item from the player's item pack (it is not required to have a Fossil or have the Saffron guards be thirsty), it is possible for the player to obtain a stored PC item counter of 255.

This glitch (requiring a ×255 item slot) can be set up without any long-range Trainers thanks to [[MissingNo.]]/[['M (00)]] and the [[old man glitch]] in Red and Blue, or Yellow MissingNo. and the [[- (move)]] corruption effect in Pokémon Yellow. When the quantity of an item has been increased by 128, it can be tossed or used up until 127 items remain and the duplication of the sixth item can be repeated to obtain 255 items.

The only known way to obtain the "-" move as the first move in Pokémon Yellow without a long-range Trainer needed is through trading. For example, the player can trade over a Ditto that had its first and second moves swapped while under Transform from Pokémon Red and Blue.

The item and quantities beyond slot 50 represent unrelated variables in the games, such as the events in certain maps. For maps with Trainers, a value of 01 essentially means that the player has set up a 'Special stat encounter' on that route.

For example; one item, item 100 represents the data for two such maps. The item in item 100 controls whether the player has a Special stat encounter on {{rt|8|Kanto}}. The quantity in item 100 controls whether the player has a Special stat encounter on {{rt|24|Kanto}}. If the player has not set up the Mew glitch on any of these routes, then these values will not be 01 (presumably 00).

However, the values can easily be manipulated. For example, if the quantity of PC item 100 is 0 (essentially 256), the player can toss 255 to change the quantity to ×1 and set up a Special stat encounter in Route 24.

It is still required for the player to encounter a wild Pokémon to get the Special stat encounter they want. As usual, a wild {{p|Ditto}} can be used to Transform into a Pokémon with the relevant Special stat and store it in memory.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Pinball''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンピンボール''' ''Pokémon Pinball'') is a spin-off {{wp|pinball}} game for the [[Game Boy Color]]. The cartridge was unique at the time among Game Boy games in that it includes a rumble pack powered by a single AAA battery, providing force feedback in much the same way as controllers for TV consoles. As the title suggests, the gameplay is pinball-based, but with a uniquely Pokémon-inspired spin. For example, the game is divided into two tables, the Red Field and the Blue Field, named after [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|the first paired versions released outside of Japan]], each with different table designs, accessible map locations, and catchable wild Pokémon.

The game received an update/sequel on the Game Boy Advance in the form of [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

==Objective==
The goal is to catch all the Pokémon and complete the Pokédex. Beyond that and the ever-present goal of getting a high score, there is no storyline to speak of.

==Blurb==
Catch 'em all with a pinball! Discover a whole new way to collect Pokémon - by playing pinball! Hit the targets with your Poké Ball to catch and evolve Pokémon. The better you do, the more rare Pokémon you'll find! Every Pokémon you catch is automatically recorded in your Pokédex - see if you can catch all 150! Some Pokémon appear only on the Red Field or only on the Blue Field, so you'll have to play both to catch 'em all!

* The new Rumble feature makes you feel like you're playing a real pinball machine!
* Trade high scores with a friend using the built-in [[Infrared]] Communications Port (on Game Boy Color only).
* Print out your high scores with a [[Game Boy Printer]] (sold separately).
* Find the bonus stages to rack up a high score.
* Upgrade your Poké Ball to a Great Ball, Ultra Ball, or Master Ball and score even higher!
* Game Pak contains built in Rumble feature (one AAA battery included).

==Acquiring Pokémon==
Rather than catching Pokémon in any traditional manner, Pokémon Pinball requires players to play special game modes on the pinball table to catch and evolve their Pokémon and complete their Pokédex.

===Catch 'Em Mode===
In Catch 'Em Mode, the player enters by lighting up two or three "GET" lights by letting the ball pass a certain tab. If the player lights up three lights, he/she gets different Pokémon than if he/she lighted up two. When it starts, a Pokémon silhouette appears in the middle of the lower field, and the player must hit the bumpers to gradually turn all six pieces of it into color. Once that is done, the actual Pokémon appears there. Then the player must hit it three times to light up what says "CATCH!" two characters at a time, then hit it one last time to catch the Pokémon. Once the player has caught it, he/she can evolve it in Evolution Mode. It also lights up one Poké Ball out of three which lets him/her reach the next Bonus Stage. The player has two minutes to complete Catch 'em! Mode. Up to 255 Pokémon can be caught at the same time within a game: catching a 256th will result into the counter being set back to 0 and the list being blanked, but the player will receive a bonus of 1,000,000,000 points.

===Evolution Mode===
Evolution mode is only accessible if the player has caught at least one Pokémon in Catch 'em! Mode. The player also has to light up three "EVO" lights activated in the same way as the GET lights. The player has to hit a spot where an arrow is pointing to on the field. Then the player can choose any one of the Pokémon they have caught. Then, depending on how the Pokémon evolves, the player has to have the ball hit either an "EX" for EXP., an evolution stone, or a link cable. The player has to do this three times. Some locations do not have experience or items; hitting one of those locations will cause the arrows to disappear (with the message that the Pokémon is tired, if it evolves by experience) and the player will have to shoot around the outside loop or wait ten seconds before an arrow appears again. Once the player is done, the player still has to get the ball into a hole to complete Evolution Mode. If the Pokémon is already fully evolved, then completing Evolution Mode will earn the player a 10,000,000 point bonus.

==Poké Ball==
Fittingly with the other Pokémon-inspired tweaks to the basic pinball formula, the ball is a [[Poké Ball]]. Each table has three lights near the top of the upper half that, when lit simultaneously, will upgrade the Poké Ball temporarily to the next better basic Poké Ball; the upgrades are the Great Ball, the Ultra Ball, and the Master Ball. Each upgrade multiplies the points gained on the table by a different multiplier: 2×, 3×, and 5×, respectively. Attempting to further upgrade a Master Ball will earn the player 10,000,000 bonus points.

==Bonus Tables==
Catching a Pokémon in Catch 'Em Mode will cause one Poké Ball icon to light up below the display on the lower portion of the field. Evolving a Pokémon in Evolution Mode will cause two of these lights to light up instead (or one if there is no room for two). Three of these lights can be lit at a time; when all three are lit, the player can shoot the ball into the center hole to access one of several bonus stages that are progressed through in a linear fashion; if the player completes one bonus stage, then when he lights up the Poké Ball lights again, he can enter the next stage. Each table has a separate progression of three bonus tables, with only the final stage on each table (the {{p|Mewtwo}} stage) being the same for both tables.

===Diglett Bonus Stage===
This is the first bonus stage on the Red Field.
[[File:Pinball Diglett Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Diglett bonus stage]]
This table features {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} and is unique among these five bonus stages in that it is the only one where, rather than a time limit being the defeat condition, the player only has one ball to complete the stage with. If the ball is lost, the stage ends. When the stage begins, the field is covered with Diglett that, when hit with the ball, will retreat into the table. The player earns points for each Diglett he knocks down. When all the Diglett are knocked down, a Dugtrio appears in the back center portion of the table. Hitting the Dugtrio three times will earn bonus points and complete the bonus stage.

===Gengar Bonus Stage===
This is the second bonus stage on the Red Field.

This table is set in a graveyard where the player is attacked by several wild {{p|Gastly}}. Hitting ten Gastly with the ball will cause {{P|Haunter}} to appear instead. Hitting ten Haunter with the ball will draw out a giant {{p|Gengar}}. Hit Gengar five times to complete the stage. Hitting the necessary Pokémon will earn points. There is a time limit of 1:30 on the stage; as long as the player does not take this long to win, he/she can lose the ball an unlimited number of times without penalty.

===Meowth Bonus Stage===
This is the first bonus stage on the Blue Field.
[[File:Pinball Meowth Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Meowth bonus stage]]
A {{p|Meowth}} runs around the field. When the player hits Meowth with the ball, it will pause briefly and drop a pile of coins. Up to six piles of coins can be on the field at a time; if there are six, hitting Meowth any more will not cause more coins to appear. Collecting a pile of coins will earn points and cause a coin icon to appear at the top of the screen. Collecting coin piles consecutively without hitting Meowth will apply a multiplier to both the number of coin icons added to the top of the screen and the points earned. This multiplier is equal to the current number of coin piles consecutively collected, and thus can go no higher than 6×. Once the player has 20 coin icons on top of the screen, the bonus stage is completed; however, the player is allowed to continue the bonus stage until time runs out or until he loses his current ball to gain more points. There is a time limit of 1:00 on the stage, with unlimited extra balls (unless the stage is completed). Losing the ball before the stage is completed causes all the coin piles to disappear and incurs a four-coin penalty.

===Seel Bonus Stage===
This is the second bonus stage on the Blue Field.
[[File:Pinball Seel Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Seel bonus stage]]
Three {{p|Seel}} swim around underwater, visible by their silhouettes. Periodically, one will bring its head above water for a short time. Hitting a Seel's exposed head with the ball will cause it to duck back underwater, earning points and causing a circular icon to appear on top of the screen. Hitting multiple Seel consecutively without letting one duck underwater on its own will apply a multiplier to both the icons added to the top of the screen and the points earned. The multiplier for the icons is equal to the current number of consecutive hits, while the score multiplier doubles with each Seel hit, but can go no higher than 256×. Once the player has 20 icons on top of the screen, the stage is completed, but the player is allowed to continue and earn more points until either time runs out or he loses his ball. There is a time limit of 1:30 on the stage, with unlimited extra balls (unless the stage is completed). Losing the ball before the stage is completed resets the multiplier and incurs a four-point penalty.

===Mewtwo Bonus Stage===
This is the third bonus stage on both the Red and Blue Fields.
[[File:Pinball Mewtwo Bonus.png|thumb|160px|Mewtwo bonus stage]]

{{p|Mewtwo}} stands in the back center of the otherwise open stage, surrounded by six black circles moving around it in a circular pattern. Hitting these circles will earn 1,000,000 points and cause them to disappear momentarily. Hitting Mewtwo will earn 50,000,000 points per hit. As the player hits Mewtwo more, the number of circles on the field will decrease gradually. Hitting Mewtwo 25 times will complete the stage. There is a time limit of 2:00 on the stage, with unlimited extra balls.

Once the Mewtwo stage is completed, the rotation will cycle back to the first bonus stage for the table being played.

Due to Mewtwo's obscenely high point output, intentionally failing and replaying this stage is the fastest way to rack up a high score.

==Map Move==
Part of the game revolves around traveling to different locations. The first location is determined at the start of the game, and the current location is displayed in the screen on the lower half of the table when not in any of the special modes. By hitting certain triggers on each table (see below under "Field Mechanics"), the player can trigger Map Move mode, during which the player has 30 seconds to hit certain targets on the table, and if they are all hit, the player will move to a random new location, where different wild Pokémon can be caught. Each table has a distinct set of locations, with only a handful of overlaps. The locations are divided into three areas, the first three locations will be selected from the first area, then two from the second area, the sixth location will be Indigo Plateau, after which the areas will repeat.

===Red Field locations===
* Area 1
** [[Pallet Town]]
** [[Viridian Forest]]
** [[Pewter City]]
** [[Cerulean City]]
** [[Vermilion City]] Seaside
** [[Rock Tunnel|Rock Mountain]]
** [[Lavender Town]]
* Area 2
** {{ka|Cycling Road}}
** {{safari|Kanto}}
** [[Seafoam Islands]]
** [[Cinnabar Island]]
* Area 3
** [[Indigo Plateau]]

===Blue Field locations===
* Area 1
** [[Viridian City]]
** [[Viridian Forest]]
** [[Mt. Moon]]
** [[Cerulean City]]
** [[Vermilion City]] Streets
** [[Rock Tunnel|Rock Mountain]]
** [[Celadon City]]
* Area 2
** [[Fuchsia City]]
** {{safari|Kanto}}
** [[Saffron City]]
** [[Cinnabar Island]]
* Area 3
** [[Indigo Plateau]]

==Slots==
By lighting up all four "CAVE" lights at the top of the four lanes, the player makes the "Slots" bonus available. This makes the center hole open, and by shooting the ball into it, the player activates the slots. A slot reel will spin around and eventually slows and stops (the player can make it slow earlier with the 'A' button). The player is then awarded one of the following bonuses:

* Small: A bonus of 100 - 900 points.
* Big: A bonus of 1,000,000 - 9,000,000 points.
* Get: Starts Catch 'Em Mode.
* Evo: Starts Evolution Mode.
* Saver: For the next 30/60/90 seconds, if the ball is drained it will be returned to the plunger and immediately launched (up to twice).
* Pikachu: For the rest of this ball the Pikachu kickback will always save the ball if it goes into the out lanes.
* Upgrade: The ball is upgraded to the next level, increasing the score multiplier.
* Extra: The player receives an extra ball.
* Bonus multiplier: The bonus multiplier is increased.
* Go to bonus: The player immediately plays the next bonus stage.

Note that the player can light up the four "CAVE" lights at any time, however the slots will only become available when the player is not in Catch 'Em, Evolution or Map Move modes and the bonus stage is not available.

==Field Mechanics==
On each field, various Pokémon appear, taking the place of more traditional pinball obstacles like switches and bumpers.

===Red Field===
* {{p|Voltorb}}: Three appear at the center of the top screen. They serve as bumpers for the [[Poké Ball]] and also flip silhouette tiles in Catch 'Em Mode.
* {{p|Ditto}}: One is blocking the Evolution Mode trigger hole in the top left corner of the screen until the EVO lights are lit.
* {{p|Bellsprout}}: Bellsprout can swallow your ball; if at least two GET lights are lit, Catch 'Em Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Diglett}}: Hit either of the two Diglett three times to trigger Map Move mode.
* {{p|Staryu}}: Hit the button below Staryu to toggle whether or not the Poké Ball upgrade lights above the Voltorb are accessible.

===Blue Field===
* {{p|Shellder}}: Three appear at the center of the top screen. They serve as bumpers for the [[Poké Ball]] and also flip silhouette tiles in Catch 'Em Mode.
* {{p|Cloyster}}: If the ball is sent to the right from the four-way intersection in the middle of the table, Cloyster will close it in its shell; if at least two GET lights are lit, Catch 'Em Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Slowpoke}}: If the ball is sent to the left from the four-way intersection in the middle of the table, Slowpoke will swallow it; if all three EVO lights are lit, Evolution Mode begins when this happens.
* {{p|Poliwag}}: Hit the red button near Poliwag three times to trigger Map Move mode.
* {{p|Psyduck}}: Hitting Psyduck three times will also trigger Map Move mode.

===Both Fields===
*{{p|Pikachu}}: Pikachu can appear under either one of the exit lanes (from which the ball cannot normally be saved); Pikachu's location is toggled with the flipper buttons. If the ball would exit the table via the exit lane that Pikachu is under, if Pikachu is ready, then instead it will rebound the ball onto the field by using {{m|ThunderShock}}. Pikachu is readied by spinning a spinner on the right side of the large loop on each table. There is a gauge with a lightning bolt symbol in it to indicate how ready Pikachu is; it can only rebound the ball if this gauge is full.

==Trivia==
* The main background music of the Blue Field shares its melody with the music played in [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]] in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} released 7 months later.
* The background music of the Red Field shares its melody with the music played in [[Viridian City]], [[Saffron City]] and [[Pewter City]] in all the core series games that feature [[Kanto]], and [[Cerulean City]] in [[Generation II]].
* The Catch 'Em Mode music of the Blue Field is an instrumental version of the first opening song of the [[Pokémon anime]], "[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]".
* The Catch 'Em Mode music in the Red Field is based on the music that plays when one is riding one's [[bicycle]] in {{4v2|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}}.
* The music that plays during "Name Entry" was revised and used for [[Sootopolis City]]'s background theme.
* The Poké Ball upgrades all have a letter stamped on them that were not changed to match their localized names: the Great Ball has an S (for Super) and the Ultra Ball has an H (for Hyper).
* Two maps are labeled incorrectly: Rock Mountain (supposed to be [[Rock Tunnel]]), and Fuchia City (missing an s).
* {{p|Mew}} can appear as a catchable Pokémon in [[Indigo Plateau]] once the player has completed the Mewtwo bonus stage twice (it then has a 1/16 chance of being encountered when all three GET lights are lit). However, it is virtually impossible to be caught by normal means, because a special routine requires the player to hit Mew a total of 1024 times (256 times for each of the 4 steps in the "catch!" sequence).<ref>[http://psense.lib.net/Analysis/RGB/pinball/poke.html ポケモンピンボール ! - POKeMONaSeNSE] (Japanese)</ref> Mew's Pokédex entry will be unlocked when it is encountered instead of when it is obtained.
* [[Pokédex]] entries in Pokémon Pinball match the entries from {{2v2|Red|Blue}} except for the addition of a period at the end of each entry.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl}}
'''Pokémon Diamond Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターダイヤモンド''' ''Pocket Monsters Diamond'') and '''Pokémon Pearl Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターパール''' ''Pocket Monsters Pearl'') are the first [[core series]] Pokémon RPGs released on the [[Nintendo DS]], beginning [[Generation IV]]. The games were released in Japan on September 28, 2006, in North America on April 22, 2007, and in Europe on July 27, 2007. They take place in the region of [[Sinnoh]] and the {{player}}'s starting area is [[Twinleaf Town]].

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
When the game begins, the player watches a [[television|newscast]] about a sighting of a [[red Gyarados]] in [[Johto]]'s [[Lake of Rage]]. The player then heads to his or her best friend {{ga|Barry}}'s house and heads to [[Lake Verity]] with him to search for [[Legendary Pokémon]]. When they arrive, they notice [[Professor Rowan]] and his assistant ({{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}}, depending on the player's [[gender]]) discussing the professor's work and his search for something in the lake. The pair notice the player and hurry off, leaving behind a briefcase. As Barry approaches the briefcase, two wild {{p|Starly}} attack. The player and Barry open the briefcase, which contains [[Starter Pokémon|three Pokémon]] they must choose from to fight off the attacking Pokémon. Barry, who later becomes the rival, takes the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's choice. After the battle, the professor's assistant will briefly appear and comment that the Pokémon have been used before exiting with the briefcase. The player and Barry return to [[Twinleaf Town]]. Back in Twinleaf Town the player's mother gives him or her a pair of [[Running Shoes]] before the player leaves for [[Sandgem Town]]. When the player meets Professor Rowan in Sandgem Town, the professor gives the player the Pokémon chosen at the lake and a [[Pokédex]]. The player then sets off to explore Sinnoh and defeat [[Gym Leader]]s in order to advance further in the plot, challenge the [[Elite Four]], and become the {{pkmn|Champion}} of Sinnoh.

During the course of the game, there are many conflicts with the evil [[Team Galactic]] and its leader, [[Cyrus]]. When the power of {{p|Dialga}}{{sup/4|D}} or {{p|Palkia}}{{sup/4|P}}, summoned by Cyrus, begins to overwhelm Sinnoh, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} appear and negate the power flow, and the player is then forced into a battle with the [[legendary Pokémon]].

After the player defeats the Elite Four, there are further activities to pursue. These mainly concern the capture of previously unavailable Pokémon, extra features such as the Poké Radar, exploration of previously inaccessible places such as the [[Fight Area|Fight]], [[Survival Area|Survival]], and [[Resort Area]]s and the perfection of battle skills in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}.

==Blurb==
Welcome to the next [[Generation IV|generation]] of Pokémon! As a rookie [[Pokémon Trainer]], you will need to catch, train and battle Pokémon on your journey to become the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. You will face many challenges along the way, as you search for the Pokémon that rules time or space in Pokémon Diamond Version or Pokémon Pearl Version.
*Discover more than 100 new Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh]] region!
*Meet goals and earn the ability to import Pokémon from your GBA [[core series|version]]s!
*Battle and trade with your friends around the world using [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]!
*Watch as day turns to night with the return of the real-time clock feature!

==Connectivity==
[[{{ns:6}}:Pokémon Pearl.jpg|right|thumb|200px|North American Pokémon Pearl DS card]]
All features of these games requiring access to the Nintendo Wi-fi Connection Service are no longer supported, as of [http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/en/games-wifi.jsp May 20, 2014].

* Diamond and Pearl are compatible with the [[Generation III|Game Boy Advance Pokémon RPGs]] after seeing the first 150 Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex. The GBA cartridge is inserted into the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, while Diamond or Pearl is in its DS card slot to upload Pokémon. There is also a feature called [[dual-slot mode]] where if there is a certain Pokémon cartridge in the GBA slot, a certain Pokémon will appear in a certain area in Sinnoh in which it does not natively appear. For example, when {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}} is in the GBA slot, wild {{p|Arbok}} will appear in the [[Great Marsh]] area in [[Pastoria City]].
* Pokémon uploads are restricted to six per 24-hour period per GBA cartridge, and the player will have to re-capture such transferred Pokémon in [[Pal Park]] located at the end of {{rt|221|Sinnoh}} before transferring from another GBA game.
** However there is a [[Pal Park Glitch|way to bypass this restriction]].
* Pokémon knowing any of the [[Generation III]] [[HM]] [[move]]s ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}) cannot be transferred; therefore, it is necessary to go to the [[Move Deleter]] in [[Fuchsia City]] or [[Lilycove City]] to remove them before transfer.
* The player cannot transfer any of the Pokémon back to the GBA cartridge once they are transferred to their Diamond/Pearl copy; the transfer is permanent.
* The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online.
* Diamond and Pearl feature wireless connectivity to [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], much as their predecessors connected to the [[Nintendo 64]] and [[Nintendo GameCube]] and their respective battle arena games.
* Diamond and Pearl feature a global trading system, the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]], that allows Trainers to search for any Pokémon they want, or put up one of their own Pokémon for trade for any Pokémon. Players of other games can search for the Pokémon that others have put onto the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]].
* Diamond and Pearl feature connectivity to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. By completing a special mission in Ranger, an {{pkmn|Egg}} can be sent from Ranger to Diamond or Pearl, where it can be hatched into the legendary Pokémon, {{p|Manaphy}}.
* Diamond and Pearl also feature connectivity to {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}. By completing three special missions in the game, a {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}}, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and a {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}} can be sent from the game to Diamond or Pearl.
* Diamond and Pearl also feature connection to the [[Wii|WiiWare]] title [[My Pokémon Ranch]], in which Pokémon can be raised and stored in a farm-like environment, much like [[Generation III]]'s {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}.

==Features==
The day-night system first appearing in [[Generation II]] returns, with the same three [[time]] periods, but better transitioning between them. A new multifunction device called the [[Pokétch]], short for Pokémon Watch, is also introduced. The regional {{pkmn|Professor}}'s name is [[Professor Rowan]], after [[wp:Rowan|a tree]] like the others, and he allows the player and his or her rival to keep the [[starter Pokémon]] they used against attacking wild Pokémon at the beginning of the game.

A new battle system is used for Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. In this new battle system, attacks are declared either physical or special by how the attack itself operates, i.e. whether the attack touches the enemy or not, instead of the attack type, as was previously the case. For example, {{m|ThunderPunch}} is now [[physical move|physical]] and {{m|Hyper Beam}} is now [[special move|special]]. This was initially highly controversial with fans of the series, as it was considered to "waste" some of the Pokémon that were more powerful in [[Generation III]], like {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Sceptile}}, though it now allows for a more versatile set of moves to be viable for these Pokémon.

Though it was reported initially that the games would feature {{t|Dark}}/{{t|Psychic}}/{{t|Fighting}} starters, this is not the case. The games retain the starters in the type trio of previous generations, {{t|Grass}}/{{t|Fire}}/{{t|Water}}, this time being {{p|Turtwig}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, and {{p|Piplup}}, respectively.

===Wi-Fi===
The DS's native support for Wi-Fi is employed, allowing players to trade, battle and communicate using "voice chat" online. This feature is no longer supported as of [http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/en/games-wifi.jsp May 20, 2014].

===GTS===
The [[Global Trade System]] or GTS is introduced, allowing Trainers to search for any Pokémon they want, or put up one of their own Pokémon for trade for any Pokémon. Players of other games can search for the Pokémon that others have put onto the GTS. This feature is no longer supported as of [http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gameslist/en/games-wifi.jsp May 20, 2014].

===Contests===
{{main|Pokémon Super Contest}}
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, a significant amount of changes have been made to the [[Pokémon Contest]]s introduced in [[Generation III]], now known as Super Contests.

Instead of making [[Pokéblock]]s with Berries, Berry-flavored muffins called [[Poffin]]s are made. This is done in [[Hearthome City]], though not within the [[Contest Hall]], instead it is done at the [[Poffin House]], which is near the Pokémon Center in Hearthome. Using the DS's touchscreen, players must stir the Poffin as directed by arrows that appear. Before the Contest starts, [[Jordan]] gives the player a Poffin that improves all five [[Contest condition|conditions]].

The first round, known as the [[Visual Competition]], is similar to the first round in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, but instead of relying solely on Contest stats, Pokémon must be dressed up using [[Accessory|Accessories]] with the stylus within a time limit. Each particular Contest will require different Accessories, and higher {{OBP|rank|Contest}}s may require more to be put on the Pokémon.

The second round is a [[Dance Competition|dancing round]], using buttons on the touch screen to either perform a dance that the others will find hard to mimic (if the player's Pokémon is the main dancer) or to copy the lead Pokémon's dance moves. Each Pokémon gets a turn at being the leader, and the leader must try to dance in time with the music, and so, obviously, so do the background dancers. The A, B, X, and Y buttons also work.

The third round is very similar to the appeals round in Generation III, and the main difference is that there are three judges and only four [[appeal]]s, rather than one judge and five appeals. A Pokémon will get more points if it is the only Pokémon to perform for a particular judge, less if another one appeals for that judge and so on. The crowd system is still in place, but this time, each judge has a different meter, making it both potentially risky and potentially rewarding to appeal to a judge that all of the other Pokémon are appealing to. In addition, Pokémon will receive bonus points for appeals regardless of the impression on the judge, and points are not added simply for raising a judge's "voltage."

===Gyms===
As is always the case, there are eight new [[Gym]]s in Sinnoh, each with their own [[Type expert|type affiliation]]. The new [[Gym Leader]]s are [[Roark]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Gardenia]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Maylene]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Crasher Wake]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Fantina]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Byron]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Candice]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Volkner]] ({{t|Electric}}).

===Elite Four===
The new [[Elite Four]] is located at the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)|Pokémon League]]. The Elite Trainers are {{EF|Aaron}} ({{t|Bug}}), [[Bertha]] ({{t|Ground}}), {{EF|Flint}} ({{t|Fire}}) and [[Lucian]] ({{t|Psychic}}); the {{pkmn|Champion}} is [[Cynthia]], who has Pokémon of multiple types.

===New Pokémon===
:: ''See [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number]] and [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number]]''
As the first [[Generation IV]] games, Diamond and Pearl were the first sightings of 107 new Pokémon, bringing the total amount to 493.

The new Pokémon began being unveiled in 2004, with the release of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' in Japan, where {{p|Munchlax}} was revealed.

{{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|Fourth-generation Pokémon}} continued being unveiled in 2005, with the Japanese release of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. The movie featured {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Weavile}}.

2006 was crunch time for the fourth generation. The ninth movie, ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', featured {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}} and {{p|Chatot}}, and {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} were soon confirmed to be on the two games' [[Game mascot|boxart]]. On September 27, all 107 of the new Pokémon's menu icons were revealed on [[Filb.de]].

During the week that followed the games' Japanese release, [[Serebii.net]] featured a "Discovery Trench" that revealed the names and stats of many of the previously-unknown Pokémon to the general public.

====[[Game-exclusive Pokémon|Game exclusives]]====
The following Pokémon are only obtainable in one game of this pair. In order to obtain Pokémon exclusive to the other game of this pair, they must be traded either from that game or from another compatible game of [[Generation IV]] which has that Pokémon available. Alternatively, all Pokémon released prior to these games may be migrated from a [[Generation III]] game.

==Compatibility==
Trading exists between Diamond and Pearl Versions through the [[Nintendo DS]]'s internal wireless connection. It connects to {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} in the same manner. {{pkmn|Egg}}s received from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} and its sequels are also sent through wireless. Diamond and Pearl also have the ability to connect to the {{wp|internet}} using [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], and can also connect to [[Wii]] consoles. Due to improvements in international linking, some {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can have [[foreign Pokédex entries]].

Diamond and Pearl also maintain backward compatibility with the [[Generation III]] games; however, standard trading is not allowed. A player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some Pokémon that could previously not be caught can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

Also, by connecting to the Wii with a Nintendo DS, players can copy their [[party]] Pokémon to their copy of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], as well as [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. However, only Diamond and Pearl are compatible with My Pokémon Ranch, while Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold and SoulSilver are all compatible with Pokémon Battle Revolution.

[[Generation IV]] is the first generation with regular Korean releases; every single main series game since Diamond and Pearl have been released in Korean. However, non-Korean versions of Generation IV games did not include a way to view Korean characters, and therefore Korean versions of any Generation IV game can't normally trade with any non-Korean game. If a Pokémon with a Korean name or Korean Trainer name was somehow traded to a non-Korean game, the data for their name would be converted to something else. In Diamond and Pearl, empty spaces were used in lieu of Korean characters. This was changed to dashes in Platinum—and subsequently HeartGold and SoulSilver—likely to prevent any issues that may come from a completely blank name.

==Reception==
Pokémon Diamond and Pearl were critically well received, with Nintendo Power calling them "the ultimate Pokémon experience." <ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/pokemondiamond?q=pokemon 1 Pokemon Diamond (DS) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The inclusion of Wi-Fi features and the voice chat feature were also praised. However, the games were criticized for their somewhat basic graphics, with IGN commenting "if you're looking for impressive visuals you're not going to get them."<ref>[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/782/782443p2.html IGN: Pokemon Diamond Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Despite this, Diamond and Pearl received a "Great" score of 8.5/10 on the site.<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/objects/707/707323.html Pokemon Diamond | Pokemon Diamond Version (2007)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Development cycle==
{{main|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta}}

==Trivia==
* ''Pokémon Diamond'' is also the name of the famous bootleg of the Power Version of {{wp|Keitai Denjū Telefang}}, which was only released in Japan (along a Speed Version) a year after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. Unlike the real Pokémon Diamond, it was not paired with "Pokémon Pearl" but rather with ''Pokémon Jade'', the bootleg of Telefang's Speed Version.
* Diamond and Pearl are the first games where:
** The [[rival]]'s [[starter Pokémon]] is not at level 5 during the first rival battle.
** The lab of the region's [[Pokémon Professor]] is not in the player's hometown.
** All three starter Pokémon gain a second type through evolution and are utilized in the storyline.
** Old [[Save|saved data]] must be deleted before a new game can be saved, a first for the [[core series]].
** Certain Pokémon that normally [[Evolution|evolve]] via [[Trade|trading]] may be caught in the wild.
* The English versions contain many references to {{wp|Internet meme}}s and {{wp|chatspeak}}. This is possibly because the lead translator, [[Nob Ogasawara]], is a member of the {{wp|Something Awful|Something Awful Forums}}.
* The leaders and {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four|Elite Four}} of Sinnoh do not always use Pokémon of their specialized type. This problem was fixed in {{v2|Platinum}} with an [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number#Platinum expansion|expansion]] added to the Pokédex, although {{EF|Aaron}} still uses a {{p|Drapion}} in Platinum despite being a {{type|Bug}} specialist.
* The international versions of Diamond and Pearl are the first main Pokémon games to capitalize the names of proper nouns normally (e.g. {{ball|Ultra}} as opposed to ULTRA BALL). However, Pokémon names are still written in all capital letters.
* Diamond and Pearl, along with the Japanese version of Platinum, are the most compatible Pokémon games, as they can connect with nineteen other games: all core series games of Generation III, IV, and V; the Pokémon Ranger games; {{g|Battle Revolution}}; and [[My Pokémon Ranch]].

==Typographical errors==
* If a [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed or LeafGreen]] cart is present in Slot 2 of the [[Nintendo DS]], the migration option in the [[main menu]] is incorrectly stated as "Migrate from Fire Red" or "Migrate from Leaf Green", with a space in the middle of the version names. This typo was fixed in {{game|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] by removing the space.
* On the back cover of the Australian release of Pokémon Diamond, it states "...as you search for the Pokémon that rules ''space'' in Pokémon Diamond Version." This is an error, as it should say "...as you search for the Pokémon that rules ''time'' in Pokémon Diamond Version." This error is not present on the English boxart of other regions.

The '''Nintendo 64''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドウ{{j|64}}''' ''Nintendo 64''), often shortened to '''N64''', is a cartridge-based console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the successor to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], and was eventually succeeded by the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

==Peripherals==
*'''{{nw|Expansion Pak}}''' – a memory expansion that replaces the console's ''Jumper Pak'' found in the ''Memory Expansion'' port. It increases available memory from 4MB to 8MB and changes the internal resolution from 320x240 to 640x480 for games that can utilize it. The only Pokémon game that can utilize it fully is [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
*'''[[Transfer Pak]]''' – an accessory that plugged into the controller and allowed the Nintendo 64 to transfer data between Game Boy and N64 games. {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and Pokémon Stadium 2 are games that rely heavily on the Transfer Pak.
*''' [[Nintendo 64DD]]''' – a short lived expansion system for the Nintendo 64. Several Pokémon games that were announced for the N64DD were either canceled or released on cartridge format only.
*'''VRU ([[Voice Recognition Unit]])''' – This device is packed in and required to play [[Hey You, Pikachu!]].
*'''Rumble Pak''' – an optional plug in device that "shakes" the controller in enabled games. The only Pokémon related game that uses it is [[Super Smash Bros.]] The name was used again for the [[Nintendo DS]] accessory.

Talk:Pokémon controversies

2017-02-19T15:03:28Z

Sly Fox: /* Citation needed */ new section

Should probably be merged with lawsuits. Under a new title. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 20:53, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Good plan. Wonder why I didn't think that in the first place. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 20:59, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==The Swastika==

Arty, the a Swastika-like symbol is in fact good luck in numerous cultures, notably some Native American ones.

Okay, but I think keeping the extrnal links would enlight some people that want more proof :)

I really need someone to get in here and change it to 'manji', which is what the symbol on the card really is. I still haven't figured out the hang of external links.

''manji'' is merely the Japanese name for what is ultimately an Indian symbol, otherwise known as Swastika in English. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 12:58, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Really? Because what I saw is that the Manji goes the other way.

The term "swastika"[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika] can describe the symbol either way it goes. [[User:Sheep|Sheep]] 19:52, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The term swastika cannot describe the symbol going either way. read the original article and you will understand. they are both different symbols. the nazi's intentionally derived the swastika from the manji.

Wikipedia says: ''Manji (卍) is the Japanese word for swastika.'' and ''The word swastika is derived from the Sanskrit'' svastika'', meaning any lucky or auspicious object, and in particular a mark made on persons and things to denote good luck.'' The two words are one in the same. To say otherwise would be the equivalent of saying ''neko'' and ''cat'' are two different things. However, I have read there and elsewhere that ''manji'' is used ''only'' for the swastika in the context of Buddhist art and scripture. So, we have a dilemma. Is ''manji'' acceptable given the context of the card? --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 22:51, 28 August 2005 (CDT)

We have a double context here - it's a swastika from the POV of the complainers, and it's a manji from the POV of the artist. The reason why both POVs are correct: they're the same damn thing at heart! Just different connotations.

Now, why don't we avoid all this ridiculous controversy and call it [[wp:Wikipedia:Lamest_edit_wars_ever#Names|''that damned symbol which appears to be a cross with its arms bent clockwise which invokes memories of facism and racism in the West and Buddhism in the East'']] - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 01:23, 29 August 2005 (CDT)

==Flying Kids==

I happen to remember a story a while ago about children ins some far-flung country imitating Pokémon by jumping off of buildings and attempting to fly (Like a Pidgey I think it was) If anyone else remembers this story, can you link to somewhere documenting it? Thanks. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:02, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I think that was made up like the Superman story back in the 50s.

==Jynx==

I read a largish essay on a website once that explained that Jynx was actually unintentionally racist, due to how the Japanese culture is. Anyone know where I can find it? I'ld like to expand on this section a little. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 11:07, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think you can be unintentionally racist. - [[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 15:18, 4 May 2005 (UTC)

I think you speak of this article, Ferret: http://www.bulbagarden.net/~dogasu/bashing/racist_jynx_01.html
- Zeta

Am I the only one who just plain doesn't see the resemblance? I seem to recall a Nordic story about a witch who stayed out in the snow so long she turned black from the cold...--BJG

Yeah that's the article Zeta. Thank you. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 02:21, 5 May 2005 (UTC)

>The vauge legend about the ice princess who turned black is addressed in the article on Dogasu's Site - IE, no one can find solid proof of it. And it seems likely that someone just fabricated it to explain Jynx in an inoffensive manner. - Zeta

No, I'd heard it. I'd have to look it up. But I don't think she was a princess, though, which may be what throws people off--BJG

I think the [[wp:Hel (being)|Hela]] argument is the best one, considering its Japanese name ends in "ela", which I don't think many people spotted. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 19:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
:Searching around the Japanese Wikipedia implies that they only call her Hel (ヘル) (in Japan), though.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 21:09, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

==Saudi Arabia==

It should be noted in the article that Pokémon is completely banned in Saudi Arabia. I would avoid placing the mention in the "Jewish Plot" area since that is not (to my knowledge) the justification given by the Saudi government.

== About the controversy section... ==

Ok, I just wanted to mention that something about this section seems... off, Could someone mention the part of sexism in the anime? I feel that this should be mentioned because i noticed quite a bit of it, especially in AG and DP in how the main girls act. In fact even in the first season there were slight traces of sexism (Though not in the main female) in the series, one infamous example is Beauty and the Beach, but another, little-known example is in [[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]] when they had almost every single girl (with the sole exceptions of Misty and Jessie) in the store (and even the contest hall) squealing like animals at least twice, and at most three times (one of which had Ash, Brock, Pikachu, James, And Meowth being trampled by those... Airheads like Mufasa with the wildebeest stampede). I know this one is an awful sexist stereotype because a relative of mine commented on it being awful and disliking it when she saw it, heck, at least 2 of my classes in my school agreed with me when i brought it up as part of a project. so, with your permission, i'd like to add these tidbits into the article.
:This is more about controversy from outside voices than controversies that only arise within the fandom. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:02, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
umm... my relative IS an outside voice, and possibly some of my classmates who aren't exactly part of the forums.
~~Weedle_McHairybug~~

...Or were you meaning that we can only cite controversies that are within the fandom? because if that's what you were meaning, then most of these things REALLY have to go. Take the Jynx thing, that technically wasn't an "in-fandom" controversy (at least, not to the same extent that the VA Change or even Misty being removed from the main cast was), and yet that one is counted as a controversy. Same deal with the satanism controversy, the Uri Geller fine, the swastika/manji controversy, "Pokemon Kills", Pokemon TCG = Gambling, or the Jewish Plot = Pokemon Controversy. and anyways, it is also a controversy within the fanbase since I also have at least one person on serebiiforums and a few others who agree with me, or at the very least understand where I am coming from. So this is the rationale as to why I think it should be implemented.

~~Weedle_Mchairybug~~
:No, he means controversies outside of the fandom. Controversies inside the fandom are usually on the articles' pages, this stuff's about people who likely never played a Pokémon game and are just yelling about it being horrible because they're a bunch of not-our-generation people. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 21:06, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

well, now that i know that he was Indeed meaning that we should mention only non-fandom sources, I'll go back to my original statement of "umm... My relative, as I have said Before, IS outside of the fandom since she doesn't really play the Pokemon Games. So i figured that that should be sufficient enough for this to warrant a mention."

~~Weedle_Mchairybug~~

It's really only 4 or 5 people that aren't doing anything about it. Now, if they were setting up huge websites and getting around 50+ people supporting the cause, then it'd deserve a mention. [[User:Mumbles|Mumbles]] 20:53, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, it's between 900 and 1000 people. I know because that's the number of people who signed my petition to bring... you-know-who back, and many of them (Probably a sixth of them) ALSO signed it because they wanted to eliminate this stereotype as well (The BMB petition also served as a anti-FAS petition). the majority of them were from high school, but 200 of them came from the AWA convention, about 80 of them were from my neighborhood, and I also got my family to sign it. I'd say that's enough evidence to upload them onto the controversy section (most of them either weren't Pokémon fans at all, or haven't been fans for a LONG time.) [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 17:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

== The gambling lawsuit ==

Is that still taking place? Or was it thrown out of court (crosses fingers)? Any news on it? I mean, WoTC hasn't been the producer of Pokémon TCG cards for, like, ''five years.''' --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 22:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
:Logically, two things would've happened: (1) the suit would be thrown out of court for being stupid, or (2) the lawsuit would eventually be against every single collectible card game ever. They still make CCGs and we haven't heard anything on the suit in a long, long time, so I'm thinking it got thrown out of court.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 22:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

== Swastika ==

In this article it is mentioned that the Swastika is associated with Buddhism. However, it is more associated with Hinduism than it is with Buddhism. Can an admin change it?--'''[[User:Maria-williams|Maria]][[User_talk:Maria-williams|♥♪♫δ]]''' 07:35, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
:It says "many cultures, including that of Japanese Buddhism," so I don't think it's a big deal. If you still do, I'll change it. --[[User:Martonimos|((Marton]] [[User talk:Martonimos|imos))]] 07:50, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

== Registeel ==

My British friend (who got his copy of Diamond at a local store) just checked the Registeel sprite in his Diamond, and it's the Hitler salute sprite, but the page says it should be the other sprite.--[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/|'''エ'''][[User:Galladeon|'''ルレ''']][[User talk:Galladeon|'''イ''''''ド''']] 21:18, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
:Only one excuse there: since the EU wasn't being a bunch OH GOD THINK OF THE CHILDREN of buttheads in 2007 you guys got the US version of DP, just relabeled. Your Pt, however, vastly differs. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:24, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

==Garitina==
There really is no section here in the discussion page to put this but some people believe that garitina resembles satinism because it resembles a serpent in its origin form thus the sickos believe it resembles what first happened in our origin and because it was banished from earth and because of the number of spikes on its wings,legs and cage like things on it. So would someone be kind enough to write this or at least answer why not? If you don't get the number thing look it up because I refuse to write those digits.[[User:VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP]] 04:45, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
:Can you link to someone actually complaining about this somewhere? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:09, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

==Uri Geller IS a psychic?==

It is only what he claims to be, even if he earns money through it. He apparently refuses research into his ''abilities''. There is no clear proof, so we should change in into '''who ''claims'' to be a psychic'''?

[[User:Renoir|Renoir]] ([[User talk:Renoir|talk]]) 04:44, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

On the topic of Geller, "This is why we can't have nice things."
I do agree, I think it would go better as "claims to be"
[[User:YourBuddyBill|Your Buddy Bill]] ([[User talk:YourBuddyBill|talk]]) 18:31, 6 August 2012 (UTC)

==Recent PETA 'joke'?==
While I'm sure they'll fob it off as a joke, I'd like to suggest expanding the 'Animal Cruelty' section by including information from PETA's latest threat as well as the controversial and tasteless 'parody' game "Pokemon black and Blue". [[User:Lugia61617|Lugia61617]] ([[User talk:Lugia61617|talk]]) 11:30, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

== Registeel? ==

Can someone explain to me why there was a controversy over the Registeel's salute? It the wrong arm to be the "Nazi" salute. The Nazi salute it done with the right arm, not the left. So Unless, I'm looking at it wrong, Registeel is arising it left arm. Allen Knott, 6/16/13 4:24am E.S.T. U.S.[[User:Allen Knott|Allen Knott]] ([[User talk:Allen Knott|talk]]) 08:25, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
:Regardless of which arm is raised, it is still offensive to some.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:32, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

== Electric soldier porygon and seizures ==

This episode has created a guiness world record for giving seizures to 685 children. Watch it in youtube AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! I think this should also be added in the controversies. Is not it?[[User:Mccoyzn|Mccoyzn]] ([[User talk:Mccoyzn|talk]]) 03:27, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
:That was an actual occurrence, not controversy. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 03:32, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

== Lawsuits ==

The article is only covering lawsuits that were filed against the creators/owners of the pokemon franchise there are lawsuits that they have filed against others in regards to their franchise like recently a cafe manager was sued by TPC for using their IP for a party without their permission shouldn't that be covered on the article as well? --[[User:0551E80Y|0551E80Y]] ([[User talk:0551E80Y|talk]]) 14:44, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

== Lavender Town ==

Just curious... is anyone else thinking there should be a section for all of the controversy over the "original" [[Lavender Town]] theme? [[Special:Contributions/Mikoro|the great]] [[User:Mikoro|MIKORO]] ([[User talk:Mikoro|talk to me]]) 02:56, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
:What's the story? [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 18:28, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
::Either Google "Lavender Town Syndrome" and read the Creepypasta article, or take it from me. Apparently, not long after Red and Green were released in Japan two decades ago, when child/young teen players reached Lavender Town and listened to its theme music with headphones, adverse effects were induced such as hemorrhages, nose bleeds, strokes, seizures, and even suicides. It could all be a myth, but extensive studies have shown that the music does in fact contain binaural beats, which are often used for things such as hypnosis to manipulate human actions. Also, if one were to amplify the song and use a spectrogram to view the frequencies and sound waves, these beats can be heard by anyone, no matter how old they are. These beats are arranged to form the shape of the ghost sprite from Pokémon Tower, as well as another set of beats arranged in a way that spells "LEAVE NOW", using the different forms of {{p|Unown}} as letters.

::::There's no way to know for sure, but it's very likely... all of the aforementioned reports all happened around the same time vicinity, and all of the discovered affected people were players of Pokémon, and their last location in Red/Green was Lavender Town. The tune was then studied, and the aforementioned binaural beats were found within the song, and further examined to figure out what they subliminally provoke listeners to do.

== Burmy ==

I should've explained myself better, but that's quite hard in the edit box! My intention was not "wormy" as in "worm-like", but as in "infested with and home of a worm". Wormy could also mean weak and untrustworthy (as in Burmy being the first stage of evolution, and weak), but I imagine it as in Burmy burrowing into nearby materials to create a cloak. I will to defer to you though, as I do not intend an edit war, and these name origin sections are quite subjective also, so my opinion does not automatically trump yours.
While we are at it though, do you know what is meant by "brr" or "burr"? I imagine "brr" is because it wears a cloak so that it doesn't get cold, but that might be stretching the name origin thing. As for "burr", I don't know... it is not made of metal, and as far as I can tell, it is not known to stick to passersby, like the velcro burdock plant. With that one I feel like I'm missing something... -[[User:Uncleben85|Uncleben85]] ([[User talk:Uncleben85|talk]]) 06:28, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not really convinced by either "infested with worms," "home of a worm," or "weak and untrustworthy." I prefer to err on the side of excluding tenuous origins. For that matter, I don't really like "brr" or "burr" either, so I wouldn't argue if you wanted to get rid of them — I left them mostly out of inertia. As for what's meant by them, the talk page has some discussion, [[Talk:Burmy#Brr, Bur and Burr|including in this section]]. I don't find the arguments there very convincing, but it is what it is.

Pokémon controversies

2017-02-10T16:57:45Z

Sly Fox: All of this needs sourcing

There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding the [[Pokémon]] franchise in its various forms and media.

==In the TCG==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
[[File:Koga Ninja Trick Manji.png|thumb|left|175px|Original Japanese print]]
[[File:KogaNinjaTrickGymChallenge115.jpg|thumb|right|175px|International print]]
Members of the Jewish community accused [[Nintendo]] of using an offensive image in the Japanese version of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}. The image in question, features an omote manji, a left-facing version of the {{wp|swastika}}.

The Western world generally associates the swastika with the {{wp|fascism|fascist}} and {{wp|racism|racist}} policies of {{wp|Nazi Germany}} during the course of {{wp|World War II}}, as well as hate, prejudice and {{wp|white supremacy}} in general.{{fact}} However, the swastika has its roots as a symbol of peace and good luck by many cultures. The earliest form of the swastika discovered was one used in Ancient India.{{fact}} It also was found in cultures that had no connection with India, such as Native American{{fact}} and First Nation cultures.{{fact}} It was because of its long and ancient history that {{wp|Adolf Hitler}} adopted it as the Nazi Party symbol, as he felt it to be—among other things—a connection to Aryan ancestors who lived in Ancient India.{{fact}}

Since World War II, however, its use has diminished, but it is still commonly used by other cultures who either didn't have any contact with the Nazis or who still identify the swastika more as a symbol of peace than as a symbol of hate. In India and its neighboring countries, the swastika represents love and mercy, as well as wealth and good fortune.{{fact}} In Asian countries, such as China, Japan and (South) Korea, the swastika can be found on maps to represent Buddhist temples.{{fact}} In all of these nations, the swastika can also be found on all kinds of media, businesses, buildings, and clothing like any other symbol. However, it is because of its liberal use that the swastika can create international miscommunications, such as its use on the Japanese version of Koga's Ninja Trick.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', a Team Rocket fantasy involves [[Jessie]], [[James]], {{MTR}}, and many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Nazi salute|Hitler salute}}. This was edited out in the English dub of the anime, with the grunts no longer raising their hands. Despite this, {{MTR}}'s arm remains unedited in the dub.

===Pokémon Shock===
[[EP038|An episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] broadcast in December 1997 on Japanese television induced {{wp|Photosensitive epilepsy|photosensitive}} {{wp|epileptic seizure}}s in a substantial number of Japanese viewers, many of which required medical assistance. As a result, {{DL|Banned episodes|Banned episodes internationally|the episode was not broadcast overseas}}, and the incident caused the anime to go into a temporary hiatus.

===Violence===
{{outdated|section}}
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] and [[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, the following episodes contain scenes that were deemed to be "too violent", and thus were cut from the English broadcast:
*''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slapping {{Ash}} after he tells her that he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty smashing {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says, "to be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
*[[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden, Kaiser, repeatedly threatening Ash and the group with a revolver, leading to the entire episode being [[banned episodes|banned]].
*''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hitting Ash in the back of the head.

===Perceived Nazi imagery===
[[File:Spr 4d 379.png|thumb|left|International DP Registeel]]
[[File:Spr 4p 379.png|thumb|right|European DP/Worldwide PtHGSS Registeel]]
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.

===Gambling===
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
Over the years, there has been a growing distaste towards gambling and the exposure of it to minors. Due to the unpredictable "risk-it-all" nature of the activity and the high impressionability of youths (whose brains are still in development and are more likely to be permanently influenced by certain stimuli){{fact}}, more and more people have voiced their opposition towards allowing minors to partake in gambling and/or gambling-esque activities, with gambling in video games falling under particular scrutiny. As a result, the Pan-European Game Information (PEGI) organization implemented stricter guidelines that limited gambling to adult-oriented video games and rated all games featuring gambling 18+{{fact}}. While such restrictions are absent in other territories, many nations (the United States in particular) perceive gambling in video games as socially unacceptable, leading to the ''Pokémon'' games slowly phasing the concept out from [[Generation III]] onwards.{{fact}}

English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the {{tc|PI|Gambler}} Trainer class to '''Gamer''' and altered their dialogue to remove references to gambling. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}''' instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

In South Korea, the releases of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} replaced the [[slot machine]]s in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]] with non-playable [[Slot machine#Korean Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum / European Platinum|game machines]]. These changes were later copied to the releases of Pokémon Platinum in Europe as a result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}.<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar] ([https://archive.today/mRcAt archived copy])</ref> This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it completely defeated the purpose and concept of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the slot machines of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this minigame, [[coin]]s are not wagered against a win or a loss but instead given out for completing a level. While many find the game to be entertaining, the change removed the ability to buy coins, effectively making Voltorb Flip a requirement for obtaining them.

All [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} remove the Game Corner entirely, remakes included. This is referenced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, where the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down; the owner will instead provide the player with three dolls. In the [[Virtual Console]] re-releases of the [[Generation I]] games, however, the Game Corner was completely untouched, although the games were rated 12 by PEGI.

==In multiple media==
===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|left|x200px|The original design of Jynx]]
[[File:124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|Jynx's current design]]
Following the American airing of ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' in 1999, {{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, an African-American cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}} was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans, due to the Pokémon's black skin, oversized facial features, and resemblance to drag performers, who were typical in minstrel shows. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and all episodes featuring Jynx's original design were cut from international airings of the anime, including a sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, starting with the international releases of {{g|Gold and Silver}} and being included in all version of the games from [[Generation III]]-onwards. This change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. Jynx's skin was also recolored to purple when ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' finally saw a re-airing in Japan in 2012; nevertheless, the episode is still banned in the US due to the implications of African American-esque characters being subservient to a powerful Caucasian figure. The [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga published between 2005 and 2006 in English by [[Chuang Yi]] didn't change her color, and thus her original black design appears.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion. Another theory is that Jynx is based on a Nordic princess as per the legends saying things like due to the blistering cold, a princess's skin turned black.{{fact}} They argue that Jynx's hair looks more like royalty than an African stereotype. They also say that being based on a {{wp|Viking}} could be the reason why they are {{t|Ice}} type. This is further expressed by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is portrayed in pop culture dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}.

====Lenora====
[[File:BW014 comparison.png|thumb|200px|The change in the anime]]
The [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nacrene City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Lenora]], also brought up concerns of racism. While no complaints were filed, actions were taken to alter her clothing. Lenora's original artwork, as well as her in-game sprites, depict her wearing a large apron. Concerns arose that people outside of Japan would allude Lenora to the {{wp|Mammy archetype}}. Similar to Lenora, the mammy is a dark skin-toned woman who wears a handkerchief on her head and an apron. Because of the similarity, Lenora's artwork was changed, from her wearing the apron to her having it slung over her shoulder like a cape. Despite this, Lenora's in-game sprites were not altered in the international releases of Pokémon Black and White or {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.

In the original version of ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'', Lenora was depicted wearing her apron. When the English dub aired, her apron was removed completely.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Lenora is depicted with the apron over her shoulder in the first panel she appears in and she is not shown with it after that. In {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}}, she is not depicted with an apron at all.

===Animal cruelty===
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfight}}s. This aspect of the controversy was actually touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

Upon the release of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, {{wp|People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals|PETA}} released a mock game named ''Pokémon Black and Blue''. In the game, the player controls the Pokémon to attack the opposing human{{fact}}. PETA claims that the way the Pokémon are "stuffed" into the [[Poké Ball]] is similar to how circus elephants are chained inside railroad carts. Nintendo responded to this by simply stating, "Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously."{{fact}} Around the release of [[Pokémon X and Y]], PETA released another mock game called ''Pokémon Red, White, and Blue'' that features Nintendo's claimed association with {{wp|McDonald's}} and also makes fun of the frequent release of sister games.{{fact}}

===Materialism and gender inequality===
The francise has been accused of promoting {{wp|Economic materialism|materialism}}, {{wp|consumerism}}, and {{wp|gender inequality}}.<ref>[http://www.popmatters.com/review/pokemon-the-movie-2000/ Pokemon The Movie 2000 (2000) | PopMatters] ([https://archive.is/h4Mpw archived copy])</ref>
{{-}}

==Religion==
===Christianity===
====Satanism====
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}} {{fact}}. The following is a summarized and possibly incomplete list of their reasons for this accusation:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.{{fact}}
*Magical talismans (supposedly a reference to [[Badge|Gym Badges]]) are needed to control them.{{fact}}
*Pokémon [[evolution|evolve]]. Though this transformation is more akin to metamorphosis in most Pokémon, the theory of evolution is denied entirely by the most fundamentalist creationists, who believe that all things as they are presently were divinely inspired.{{fact}}
**Some Pokémon evolution even requires the use of certain magical [[evolutionary stone|stones]].{{fact}}
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s. Those with Psychic powers are labeled as having been given these powers by {{wp|Satan}} in the {{wp|Bible}} itself.{{fact}}
*Many Pokémon embody or practice East Asian spiritual or mystical concepts, being that the franchise originated in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.{{fact}}
*Some claim that if one were to {{wp|backmasking|play backwards}} the [[Kanto Pokérap]], "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" can be heard as "I love you, Satan".<ref>https://kotaku.com/the-time-they-thought-pokemon-was-satanic-1670792676</ref>[''inadequate source'']{{fact}}

In response to these claims, the {{wp|Vatican City}}-based {{wp|TV2000|Sat 2000}} broadcast public approval of Pokémon in April 2000, stating that the games did not have "any harmful moral side effects" and was based on "ties of intense friendship".<ref>[http://nypost.com/2000/04/21/pokemon-earns-papal-blessing/ POKEMON EARNS PAPAL BLESSING | New York Post] ([https://archive.today/5AVJL archived copy])</ref>

===Islam===
====Claims of Zionist Jewish plot in the Arab and Islamic world====
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy{{fact}} that is intended to brainwash Muslim children to make them renounce their faith{{fact}}. These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" is a phrase that means "I am Jewish"{{fact}}, with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin{{fact}}. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.{{fact}}

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise. It claimed that the franchise promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}} in the TCG and encouraged gambling in the games due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1258633.stm BBC News | Middle East | Qatari religious leader bans Pokemon]</ref><ref>Peterson, Mark Allen. 'Anthropology & Mass Communication: Media and Myth in the New Millennium'. 2003. Print.</ref>

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the {{OBP|Expedition Base Set|TCG}} reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. Games from [[Generation III]] on seem completely unaffected by the ban.

===Jewish===
As noted above, Members of the Jewish civil rights group {{wp|Anti-Defamation League}} accused [[Nintendo]] in 1999 of using a manji, the Japanese name of the {{wp|swastika}} as a {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} symbol, in the Japanese print of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}} because it is considered offensive to the Jewish people. Nintendo ceased manufacturing the card, a decision that was positively received by the group, which also understood that the symbol was not intended to offend and acknowledged the sensitivity that Nintendo had shown by removing the product.<ref>[http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4525479.html `Swastika' Pokemon card dropped - Chicago Sun-Times | HighBeam Research] ([https://archive.is/cROTU archived copy])</ref>

==Lawsuits==
Various lawsuits have been filed against [[Nintendo]] and [[Game Freak]] regarding [[Pokémon]] or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
[[File:064Kadabra RG.png|thumb|right|Kadabra's official core game artwork at the time]]
In 1999, {{wp|Uri Geller}}, a man claiming to be a {{wp|psychic}} who is able to bend spoons with psychic powers, tried to sue Nintendo for [https://duckduckgo.com/?q=60000000+GBP+in+USD £60 million] ([http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=60000000+GBP+in+USD+on+November+2%2C+2000 $86.93 million at the time]), claiming that {{p|Kadabra}}, known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself.<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/1003454.stm BBC News | ENTERTAINMENT | Geller sues Nintendo over Pokémon] ([https://archive.today/AhjVR archived copy])</ref><ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK News | The Guardian]</ref> Besides Kadabra's use of [[Type-enhancing item#TwistedSpoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name (ユンゲラー) is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー). Another claim was that Kadabra's design is {{wp|Antisemitism|antisemitic}} in nature due to the star on its forehead and the lightning bolts resembling the logo of the {{wp|Waffen-SS}}. He is quoted as saying "Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image." The symbols themselves are taken from those used on {{wp|Zener cards}}, which have been used to conduct research into psychic abilities.

As a result, there has not been a Kadabra card in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} since {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003 and Kadabra has not appeared in the Pokémon anime since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits. This is further hinted at by [[Masamitsu Hidaka]]'s interview with PokéBeach in July 2008,<ref>[http://pokebeach.com/2008/07/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points Second Interview with Masamitsu Hidaka – Many Interesting Points! (July 4th, 2008) « Website News « PokéBeach] ([https://archive.today/ApNJu archived copy])</ref> where he claims that usage of Kadabra on a card is not allowed until an agreement was reached and that the case would not be settled anytime soon.

{{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards have continued to be printed, despite the fact that this makes it impossible to play Alakazam cards in matches that prevent the use of older cards without a card that specifically allows evolved Pokémon to be played. However, the only {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} card released after {{tcg|Skyridge}}, in {{tcg|Mysterious Treasures}}, has an attack that allows it to evolve directly into Alakazam, skipping the Kadabra stage. Although this is probably a coincidence, the {{evostone|Everstone}} in the [[core series]] games from [[Generation IV]] onward [[List of glitches in Generation IV#Kadabra Everstone glitch|fails to prevent Kadabra's evolution into Alakazam]].

===Burger King===
In 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After their daughter suffocated because she had covered her mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, two parents set up a website named "Pokémon Kills".<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/581493.stm BBC News | AMERICAS | Burger King in Pokemon recall] ([https://archive.today/pffGd archived copy])</ref> In response to this, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.

===Other lawsuits===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectible cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectible nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.<ref>[http://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/dec/29/2 Nintendo faces £60m writ from Uri Geller | UK news | The Guardian] ([https://archive.today/XkBzu archived copy])</ref>

Action Replay

2016-12-31T11:46:15Z

Sly Fox: /* Use and function */ Less-fewer

[[File:Action Replay DSi.jpg|175px|thumb|Action Replay DSi]]
The '''Action Replay''' is a hexadecimal-based [[cheating]] device brand made by {{wp|Datel}} that is used for games and systems of all kinds. It is not licensed or endorsed by any game or console manufacturer.

While the [[GameShark]] was the most widely used cheating device in the late '90s, it was actually a rebranded Action Replay. However, Interact, the company who distributed GameSharks, went bankrupt. After that, {{wp|Mad Catz}} bought the name GameShark, and Action Replays were then sold to the public by their original name. There are currently three different models, the original DS version, the DSi version, and the more current version, the newly released 3DS version. Both versions are compatible for all [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games released for the Nintendo DS.

==Use and function==
Cheating devices such as the Action Replay are primarily used to enable, disable, or modify sections of a particular game's code. By intercepting game code transmission between the game's software and the system's hardware, Action Replay devices can change the gaming experience. The use of cheating devices to modify Pokémon games has been a popular practice since the games' release in the mid-nineties. Popular applications of the device include capturing unobtainable Pokémon, acquiring normally unobtainable items or mass quantities of items, and modifying Pokémon stats.

Although Action Replay can be helpful, it is also known to freeze the game occasionally and to cause minor problems. Codes that simply allow users to change Pokémon, levels, or stats tend to be harmless, however, others like walk through walls or codes rewriting major events in the storyline may result in minor game glitches or corrupt the entire save file.

If one uses too many codes at once, the probability of freezing rises. If one encounters freezing, it is recommended to disable recently-added codes before starting the game up again. Having fewer codes enabled decreases the likelihood of improperly set flags and coding, thus decreasing chances of freezing. When the user turns the game back on, the trigger which prepares the execution of the code may not cause the game to freeze, and if successful, the user will be able to resume play. If the user has used an Action Replay and wishes to play their game without the use of codes or to fix problems and glitches caused by the codes, they can restart their game file.

Incorrect codes may also cause Bad Eggs to appear in the games.

Several examples of Action Replay codes include walk through walls, [[event]] codes, and [[Shiny Pokémon]] codes.

==Duo problem==
In 2005, Datel released a new device for use with both the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]] called the {{wp|Action Replay Duo}} (also known as the Action Replay Max). This new device enabled users to modify GBA games like the ordinary Action Replay for GBA; however, it also had the ability to save DS games onto a computer using a USB cable. Using this method, users could backup and restore saved game files. However, the device does not recognize any Pokémon save data located in its slot, and has caused much outrage among fans for this reason. Despite numerous updates to the device, there has been no explanation given as to why the device ignores Pokémon games.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Parody legendaries.png|right|thumb|75px|The Groudon and Kyogre parodies]]
*Newer DS Action Replay packages have miscolored Pokémon featured on them. These include {{p|Piplup}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, {{p|Hippopotas}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Charizard}}, and {{p|Giratina}} in its Origin Forme.
**Also, in an Action Replay package that was released around the time of Ruby and Sapphire, a parody of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} took up most of the package. Groudon appeared as a small, red lizard and Kyogre as a small blue whale with a white belly.

Sly Fox: Less-fewer

[[File:BrockNextQuest39.png|thumb|right|A {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Brock|39}} Trainer figure]]
Trainer figures are a type of figure in the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. They are only used to determine if an attempt to use a {{TFG|Trainer card}} succeeds or fails. Due to Trainers being less important then the Pokémon figures, only 1 being needed for each player and having near identical bases, there are considerably fewer Trainer figures then Pokémon figures.

==Mechanics==
When a Trainer card is used, the Trainer is spun. If the result is success the Trainer card is used then placed face down, if the result is miss the players turn ends and Trainer card is kept face up and may be attempted again on a later turn.

==Bases==
All Trainer figures have a small red miss area with a probability of 8.3% and the rest is a large white success area with a probability of 91.6%. The rare Trainer figures have a blue ring around a large part of their bases; no figure or card was ever revealed to have a purpose for this.

'''{{tt|Sneasel Sneak Attack|VIZ Media}}''' or '''{{tt|Sneaky Sneasel|Chuang Yi}}''' (Japanese: '''VS ニューラ''' ''VS {{tt|Nyula|Sneasel}}'') is the 93rd round of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
When [[Professor Elm]] isn't watching, {{adv|Silver}} drops down from the ceiling and snatches a [[Poké Ball]] containing a {{p|Totodile}} from the table. As Silver is making his escape, {{Adv|Gold}} and [[Joey]] are trying to enter the lab, so Professor Elm mistakes Gold for the thief. Gold chases after Silver, and [[Aibo]] fights {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}}.

Gold notices on the table that one of the three Poké Balls is missing, and sees that the {{p|Cyndaquil}} inside one of the other Poké Balls is upset that Totodile is missing. As his [[bag|backpack]] full of Poké Balls was stolen earlier, Gold is sympathetic to having a Pokémon friend taken away, so he offers to fight together with the Cyndaquil. He releases it from the Poké Ball, and, not knowing its name, he nicknames it "[[Exbo]]{{tt|*|Explotaro in Chuang Yi's translation}}", after the explosive flames on its back.

Meanwhile, the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] is gloating about having stolen [[Joey]]'s backpack, but to their dismay they discover it is Gold's, which does not contain {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s important documents. Frustrated, one of the members tosses the bag aside, and the Poké Ball containing [[Polibo]] rolls away into a river.

==Major events==
* {{adv|Silver}} steals a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]]'s laboratory.
* {{adv|Gold}} and Silver meet for the first time.
* Gold takes a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Elm's desk and nicknames it "[[Exbo]]".
* [[Polibo]]'s [[Poké Ball]] rolls away into a river.

List of references to Pokémon in popular culture

2016-12-27T17:20:40Z

Sly Fox: /* References in television broadcasts, movies, and radio */

{{incomplete}}
{{PA}}

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

En route to the Driftveil Gym, Ash and friends come across a trio of Maractus and their Trainer, Toby, who are rehearsing for their upcoming audition at the Pokémon Musical in Nimbasa City. As part of their rehearsal, they plan to enter the Pokémon Performance Competition, but they’re having some trouble with their grand finale, a move called “Over the Rainbow” that involves one of the Maractus (named Tussy) leaping into the air and landing on the arms of the other two.

Ash observes that the three Maractus aren’t in sync with each other, and suggests a Triple Battle to get the trio back on track. During the battle, Toby tries to pull off Over the Rainbow again, and it fails spectacularly, sending Tussy crashing to the ground. Toby finally figures out that Tussy is afraid of heights, but he’s still determined to make the performance work.

After another failed attempt, Toby gets upset and yells at Tussy, who runs away in embarrassment just as the Pokémon Performance Competition is about to begin. Ash, Toby, and the other two Maractus track down the distraught Tussy—and when they have to fend off a menacing Scolipede, Tussy gets over its fear of heights to leap into battle!

With Tussy’s fear conquered, the trio’s performance goes off without a hitch, and they win the competition! Toby and the Maractus Trio thank Ash and friends for their help and head off to audition in Nimbasa City, as our heroes’ journey toward the Driftveil Gym continues.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} eagerly runs into a town hoping it to be [[Driftveil City]], but unfortunately {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}} tell him it's not. Nearby Ash sees a Trainer with three {{p|Maractus}} performing a performance routine. The Trainer decides it's time to execute their routine called "Over the Rainbow." All three start off by using {{m|Round}} which mesh together to form a rainbow circle. Two of the Maractus named Marra and Racca leaps into the air and uses {{m|Petal Dance}}. Marra and Racca high-five then join hands in the air and proceed to use {{m|Pin Missile}} while spinning. Finally the Trainer commands the final Maractus, Tussy, who is noticeably smaller than Marra and Racca, to leap and "Cross the Rainbow." Tussy leaps into the air and tries to land on Marra and Racca's arms but it messes up the move and all three Maractus crash into the ground. Ash, Cilan, And Iris run over to help check up on them, luckily they are all okay.

Ash and his friends introduce themselves to him. [[Toby]] introduces himself as well as each of his Maractus as the unit "Maractus the Trio." They are practicing their routine in hopes of one day performing in the [[Pokémon Musical]] in [[Nimbasa City]]. In the meantime he wants to participate in the Pokémon Performance Contest that's held in town in order to gain confidence before they audition for the musical. Toby describes the "Over the Rainbow" performance that they are practicing. What was supposed to happen is after Marra and Racca high-five then join hands, Tussy is to then land on their arms and use {{m|Sunny Day}} causing the Pin Missile and Petal Dance to shine and create a rainbow. Ash, Iris, and Cilan volunteer to help them master the routine.

Toby firsts need some rhythm. As Ash ponders which of his Pokémon can provide good rhythm, {{AP|Oshawott}} pops out of his Poké Ball. Oshawott taps his [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]] making a drum noise, Toby thinks it's perfect. Cilan sends out his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. Toby gives Pansage a tambourine. Pansage enthusiastically plays a rhythm on it. Iris recommends that {{TP|Iris|Axew}} has rhythm too. After a bit of fun dancing, they settle down. Pansage and Pikachu both have tambourines, Axew with maracas, and Oshawott with a castanet. Unfortunately they cannot sync their rhythm and a fight between them unfolds. Toby instead decides to play some music on a boom box. Toby once again executes the same routine as before. Marra and Racca starts off "Over the Rainbow" but once again, when Tussy tries to land on Marra and Racca's arms, it fails the jump and landing and all three Maractus crash to the ground.

Toby knows that Tussy is the one that is messing up the routine, so he wants Tussy to improve its jump. Iris decides to bring out her jumping expert {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}. Emolga shows Tussy how to do a simple jump by jumping from the ground onto Iris' head. Tussy tries to jump onto Toby's head but it doesn't jump high enough and thus they both fall to the ground. Emolga coaches Tussy a little bit more and, once Tussy gets focused, Tussy jumps high into the air and lands perfectly on Toby's head. With the successful jump now mastered, Toby has his three Maractus perform the jump with Marra and Racca on the ground. Tussy does the jump correctly but it cannot keep its balance on their arms. Cilan concludes that they need to sync better. Ash suggests that they have a battle to improve their synchronization. Cilan suggests a Triple Battle.

The battle sets up with Toby and his three Maractus and Ash with {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{AP|Tepig}}, and {{AP|Snivy}}. Pikachu starts off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} but all three Maractus dodges. All three Maractus attacks with Round, hitting all three of Ash's Pokémon. Snivy attacks with {{m|Leaf Storm}} but the Maractus counters with Pin Missile. Tepig attacks with {{m|Flamethrower}} but Marra and Racca blocks the attack with Petal Dance. Marra and Racca join hands and unleashes Pin Missile just like their routine, but Snivy blocks the attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Tussy leaps up into the air and lands perfectly on Marra and Racca's arms, but as it looks down, it begins to panic and all three Maractus fall to the ground. Cilan decides to end the battle.

Toby figures that Tussy is afraid of heights. He tells him that he can overcome it if he puts a little effort into it. Despite the fact that their performance isn't complete, Toby decides it's time to go to the Performance Contest. Toby tells Ash, Iris, and Cilan that he hopes his town, which is a small town in the middle of wasteland next to a coal mine, will one day watch his performance. As a child he was amazed by a Pokémon performance held their once, and coincidentally, a rainbow was over the performance. However as time had passed and the coal mine was sealed, everyone in town left. Toby eventually left as well. As he traveled across the desert he saw Marra, Racca, and Tussy playing together. At that moment another rainbow shone overhead, and Toby vowed that he would use those three Maractus to perform. He asked if they'd join him and they all agreed.

Toby decides to have one last practice before they start. However, once again, after landing on Marra and Racca's arms, Tussy's fear of heights causes all three to fall to the ground. Toby yells at Tussy to stop messing up as the future success of the "Maractus the Trio" relies upon their next performance. Upset by his failure and Toby's scolding, Tussy runs off. As they try to find Tussy the Pokémon Performance Contest begins. Toby and Ash continue to search for Tussy while Iris and Cilan go to the competition. Toby and Ash finally find Tussy, but Tussy continues to run until it bumps into a {{p|Scolipede}}. Tussy freezes in fear but Toby runs in front of Tussy to protect it, telling it to run away. Tussy instead jumps onto the Scolipede's head. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Electro Ball}} on Scolipede's feet. Tussy jumps off of Scolipede before the attack hits and Tussy lands perfectly on Marra and Racca's arms for the first time without falling. Toby apologizes to Scolipede as they run away.

Toby congratulates Tussy on its first successful jump and also apologizes to Tussy for being so hard on it. He realizes that Tussy was doing its best all along and he was wrong to scold it. Back at the Performance Contest, Iris stalls them long enough for Toby to return. Toby enters as the last performer. Marra, Racca, and Tussy starts off the performance with their dance with maracas. Toby decides it's time to perform "Over the Rainbow." Marra, Racca, and Tussy starts off with Round creating a rainbow circle. Marra and Racca then jumps up with Petal Dance and high-five then join hands. They continue by spinning together while using Pin Missile. Tussy still is nervous about doing the performance but Toby tells Tussy that he believes that it can do it just like earlier. Tussy enthusiastically jumps and lands perfectly on Marra and Racca's arms. Tussy uses Sunny Day, completing the performance perfectly by making a rainbow just like Toby had envisioned.

Toby runs on to the stage happy that the performance was finally a success. Afterwards, Toby is announced the winner of the contest. Toby announces that, with their performance perfected, he will continue on to Nimbasa City to audition. Toby hopes that he'll be able to make a troupe and one day restore his hometown to its former glory. Ash, Iris, and Cilan wishes him well as he prepares to leave, however Toby's Maractus notice a rainbow in the sky, before they all finally leave to continue their respective journeys.

Filler episode

2016-07-09T12:38:18Z

Sly Fox: Not entirely sure what that meant

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

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

==Purpose==
In manga-based anime fillers have been used to put distance between the anime and its source material, preventing an overlap which would cause trouble for both forms of the series. Filler episodes may follow a formulaic (and often predictable) plot, loosely based on a main episode, which will either enter the backstory of a certain aspect of a show or tell a completely new tale involving the main or supporting and even one-shot characters from previous episodes. Fillers also may introduce aspects that may complement or contradict the canon of the original source. It is not uncommon that whole story arcs comprised of filler episodes will be used within a series in order to fill an episode count and subsequently build up to a main story arc.

==In Pokémon==
''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]'' is the first episode considered a "filler" episode in the Pokémon anime. The [[S02|Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] season is sometimes thought of as a filler arc. Despite this, {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} both obtain Pokémon they continue to use, though Ash's team is back to what it was at the end of Kanto when he travels to Johto. Many other important events also occur during this saga, for example {{AP|Charizard}} beginning to obey Ash.

Infamously, the [[S03|third]], [[S04|fourth]], and [[S05|fifth]] seasons set in the [[Johto]] region are comprised of the most "filler episodes" of any saga. The arcs also served as a way to buy time for the releases of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and were possibly used after the [[GS Ball]], which was planned to consume a large portion of Johto's story, became a {{wp|MacGuffin|canceled plot device}}.

When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, filler episodes were reduced due to the introduction of [[Pokémon Contests]]. As with the Kanto saga, however, Hoenn was followed by what some consider a "filler arc", ''[[S09|Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'', which built up for the arc corresponding to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. Despite some considering ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier'' a "filler arc", many important events took place within the season, similarly to ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands''.

The {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} had fewer "filler" episodes than the previous two sagas, ''Johto League'' and ''Advanced Generation'', however it is occasionally criticized for the year long gap between Ash's [[DP127|seventh]] and [[DP179|eighth]] Gym battles. It is often alternatively seen that due to the vast supporting cast featured in Sinnoh, and the focus on character development in humans and Pokémon, the episodes which are deemed "filler" are not exactly so.

The {{series|Best Wishes}} also had fewer "filler" episodes than previous sagas, mainly due to the speed of the series and the focus on character development, similar to the Diamond & Pearl series. Another "filler season", the [[Decolore Islands|Decolore]] Adventures, was released towards the end of the Best Wishes series. However, unlike previous "filler seasons", this arc had fewer major events due to the absence of any kind of League. The only important event that happened during this arc was {{an|Professor Oak}} catching a {{TP|Professor Oak|Rotom}}. Similarly to the ''Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands'', this arc was likely made to buy time for the release of the next games, in this case, [[Pokémon X and Y]].

Filler episode

Pokémon category

2016-05-20T16:20:36Z

Sly Fox: Less -> fewer

In a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s [[Pokédex]] information, the '''category'''<ref name="PMD" /><ref name="GTI" /><ref name="Pro" /><ref name="BW" /><ref name="ORAS" /><ref name="Dex" /><ref>In [[Camp Pokémon]]</ref> (Japanese: '''{{tt|分類|ぶんるい}}''' ''classification'') is a name which identifies the Pokémon based on one of its defining biological characteristics. Most often, the defining traits are part of the Pokémon’s physiology, special abilities, or behavior. It was previously also known as '''species'''.<ref name="B2W2" /><ref name="XY" /><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120903123404/http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokedex/ Pokémon.com Pokédex (archive)]</ref>

Because of how brief and uninformative the description of a Pokémon often is in its category, and how little the category relates to other data, it is not often regarded as an important piece of information about a Pokémon.

Before [[Generation III]], the category was shown by just seeing the Pokémon, rather than upon catching it.

In [[Pokémon games]] prior to [[Generation III]], the character limit for a category name was ten characters or fewer. In games prior to [[Generation VI]], the limit was increased to thirteen characters or fewer. This includes spaces but does not include "Pokémon".

==Trivia==
* Several Pokémon have had their categories altered between generations. This is primarily due to character limitations in earlier Pokémon games. {{p|Squirtle}}, as an example, was originally the "<sc>TinyTurtle</sc> Pokémon". It was later listed as the "<sc>Tiny Turtle</sc> Pokémon".
* The categories present in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are cut off in early English releases of the games, most specifically those made up of more than one word with a space in between. This causes Pokémon like Pidgey to be listed as "Tiny Pokémon" rather than "Tiny Bird Pokémon". [[Pokédex data structure in Generation III|Internal game data]] lists the category the same as it appears in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and other games, indicating a glitch in the Pokédex where a blank space is confused for the terminating byte for the name. This was addressed in later releases of the game.
* {{p|Hoopa}} is the only Pokémon with multiple categories.
* The previous term, "species", should not be confused with a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]], since several different Pokémon can be identified by the same category in the Pokédex, no matter how distantly related. This term should also not be confused with the real world definition of {{wp|species}}.

==Blurb==

After his defeat at the Santalune City Gym, Ash is having doubts that he can defeat the skilled Gym Leader Viola in a rematch. But Serena (who, it turns out, met Ash at Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger) reminds him that he’s always been determined not to give up until it’s over. This reminder snaps Ash out of his self-doubt and inspires him to do some serious special training with Pikachu and Fletchling against Alexa’s Noivern!

Standing up to Noivern’s Gust is hard work, but soon Ash feels like they’re ready. He also has an idea about how to deal with the ice battlefield if Viola uses that trick again, but he’s not telling anybody what it is. And since they also had trouble with Surskit’s Sticky Web, Clemont shows off one of his inventions: a machine that reproduces Sticky Web exactly! The machine shoots a couple of webs so Pikachu and Fletchling can practice dodging, but when Clemont tries to turn up the intensity, it blows up. Undeterred, Ash asks Froakie to throw its gooey Frubbles to simulate Sticky Web attacks, and Ash and his team seem to be as ready for a rematch as they can be...

The next day, it’s obvious right from the start that their intense training is paying off. Pikachu digs in with its tail to stay upright on the icy battlefield and defeats Surskit! Ash then sends Fletchling out for a rematch against Vivillon, but Viola’s Pokémon has another move they didn’t know about: Sleep Powder! The snoozing Fletchling can’t avoid Vivillon’s powerful Solar Beam, and Viola evens the score at one Pokémon each.
Ash has to call Pikachu back in, even though it’s worn out from beating Surskit. Vivillon uses Sleep Powder again—but Ash’s voice cuts through Pikachu’s sleepiness, telling it to use Electro Ball on itself! This shocking strategy wakes Pikachu up so it can defeat Vivillon with a final Thunderbolt, and Ash wins the match and the Bug Badge!

Alexa suggests the Cyllage City Gym for their next destination, and after a few farewells, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie head off—along with Serena, who isn’t yet sure where she’s going...

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} continuing his training with [[Alexa]] so he can battle [[Viola]] again at the [[Santalune Gym]]. After saving his Pokémon from {{TP|Alexa|Noivern}}'s {{m|Gust}}, Ash ponders his strategy for defeating Viola and all of her tactics. As he does so, {{an|Serena}} offers Ash a handkerchief and asks if he remembers her. She explains that the two of them met at [[Professor Oak]]'s Pokémon Summer Camp, and Ash remembers going there but not specifically meeting her, much to Serena's disappointment. Serena reminds Ash how he once told her to never give up until it's over, and that he hasn't changed at all since they met. Thanking Serena for her help, Ash resumes training. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Fletchling}} make steady progress on dealing with Gust and their training continues into the evening.

At the Pokémon Center, while everyone is eating dinner, Ash tells the group that he has come up with an idea to counter {{p|Surskit}}'s {{m|Ice Beam|ice battlefield}}, but refuses to tell anyone until they can see for themselves the next day, to {{an|Bonnie}}'s general annoyance. {{an|Clemont}} volunteers to provide his assistance for dealing with {{m|Sticky Web}}, leading the group outside and introducing his newest invention, the "Sticky Web Sticky Wicked Whacker Wonk" - a cannon that fires a synthetic material resembling Sticky Web. However, when Clemont sets the machine to its maximum level, it tilts upwards and clogs itself with its own artificial web, causing the machine to explode. Instead, Ash sends out {{AP|Froakie}} so that its frubbles can function as their Sticky Web training.

The next morning, Ash returns to the Santalune Gym and begins his rematch with Viola. Off to the side, Alexa mentions to Serena her surprise that she was the one to give Ash his much-needed encouragement and inspiration. Both Viola and Ash are excited for the match, and so they begin by sending out Surskit and Pikachu, respectively. Uncharacteristically for Ash, he is waiting for Viola to make the first move. Surskit fires its Sticky Web attack, which Pikachu has no trouble dodging thanks to his special training. Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} is blocked by Surskit's {{m|Protect}} before the former lands a hit with {{m|Iron Tail}}. As Surskit attempts to counter with its ice battlefield strategy, Pikachu jumps onto it and starts to use Thunderbolt, but is thrown off too quickly and fails to stop Surskit from creating its special battlefield. Surskit then starts skating around Pikachu, [[XY005|just like before.]] As Viola orders a {{m|Signal Beam}} attack, Pikachu lodges his tail into the ice to stay balanced, which was Ash's secret plan for the ice battlefield. With his balance restored, Pikachu aims a perfect Thunderbolt at Surskit, overpowering its Signal Beam and knocking it out.

As Viola recalls Surskit, Ash does the same with Pikachu, wanting to give Fletchling a second chance at defeating {{p|Vivillon}}. Bonnie notes that Sticky Web will not be an issue this time, which Serena credits to Pikachu. Clemont adds that since Ash's Gust countermeasure is ready, this battle is nothing like the last one. Fletchling leads off with {{m|Steel Wing}}, but Vivillon uses {{m|Psychic}} to catch Fletchling mid-attack and throw it to the ground. With a second Steel Wing, Fletchling lands a hit on Vivillon and, although Fletchling also scores a {{m|Razor Wind}} attack, a combination of Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Solar Beam}} knocks Fletchling out, leaving just Pikachu. Although Bonnie is worried that Viola is making a comeback, Serena reassures her with her unwavering confidence in Ash's abilities.

With the match now a one-on-one match between Pikachu and Vivillon, Ash and Viola continue to battle. Vivillon uses Gust, and although Pikachu struggles at first, Ash has him dig into the ground using Iron Tail. With its Gust having failed, Vivillon uses Solar Beam, which is countered and canceled out by Pikachu's Thunderbolt. However, Vivillon manages to hit Pikachu with Sleep Powder and, just as with Fletchling previously, charges another Solar Beam attack. As Ash begins to lose hope in his chances of winning, Serena calls words of encouragement to him. Her support makes him regain focus on the battle and Pikachu uses {{m|Electro Ball}} on himself, destroying the effects of Sleep Powder. Pikachu counters the Solar Beam just in time with an Electro Ball that breaks through Vivillon's attack and knocks Viola's Pokémon against the lamps frozen by Surskit. With Vivillon's wing partially frozen, it is unable to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt, securing Ash the victory.

Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena all congratulate Ash on his win, to which he responds that he won due to the effort put in by all of them. Viola presents Ash with the {{DL|Badge|Bug Badge}} as proof of his victory over her. Ash proudly accepts it and sets his sights on [[Cyllage City]] for his next Gym battle. The episode then concludes with Ash inquiring as to where Serena is headed next.

===Errors===
* In one scene, [[Alexa]] is missing her earrings.
* In some scenes, {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}'s tooth is missing.
* When Fletchling has been hit by Vivillon's {{m|Sleep Powder}} and was falling down, {{an|Serena}}'s hat is colored purple for a few frames, and a few frames later, [[Alexa]]'s eyebrows are incorrectly colored the same beige as her skin.
* After {{Ash}} recalled his fainted Fletchling and then use {{AP|Pikachu}} again, his hair is briefly shown completely black instead of the usual dark cyan tone.
* When Pikachu has woken himself up with {{m|Electro Ball}}, some of the ice around his feet has melted. When he prepares to fire another Electro Ball to counter Vivillon's {{m|Solar Beam}}, the ice that melted is back.
* In one scene for a split frame, the part of {{an|Bonnie}}'s hair near her left ear is colored the same way as her skin.
*After Pikachu hits Surskit with Iron Tail, Clemont states that Pikachu didn't land a move in their last battle. This is incorrect, as Pikachu landed an Iron Tail during the battle.

==Blurb==

At Professor Sycamore’s research lab, Serena has to choose between Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie for her first Pokémon. After learning about the three with her new Pokédex, she tells the professor she made her choice even before she got there. It’s Fennekin!

Meanwhile, our heroes are on their way to Santalune City for Ash’s first Gym battle, and Bonnie is demonstrating just how much she loves to take care of Pokémon. She gives Pikachu a bath, then helps Fletchling clean its wings. The two Pokémon are happily settling in for some snacks when the Dedenne our heroes encountered earlier leaps out of a nearby bush and nabs the food! Bonnie wants Clemont to catch this adorable Pokémon for her, but it goes running off, and everyone follows.

Pikachu follows Dedenne into its burrow, but they end up at the base of a tall cliff, unable to get back to the rest of the gang. To make matters worse, the villains of Team Rocket have been observing the two Pokémon, and now their plan to catch Pikachu includes catching Dedenne, too!

Our heroes catch up, a fierce battle ensues, and Team Rocket is left empty-handed—but Dedenne has been hurt. To restore it, Clemont produces another one of his inventions. This electric generator quickly gets Dedenne recharged, but then Clemont can’t turn the machine off, and it explodes. Dedenne is OK, though, and with Clemont’s gift of healing electricity, it’s decided it wants to join the group. Clemont and Bonnie have a new Pokémon friend!

Meanwhile, as she travels through an ominous forest, Serena realizes it’ll be getting dark soon. She wants to find a Pokémon Center where she and Fennekin can stay for the night. She sees someone behind a tree and asks for directions—but what looked like a woman in a striped dress turns out to be a wild Vespiquen! When it attacks, Fennekin leaps to Serena’s rescue and scares it off. Then, Nurse Joy and Wigglytuff show up to investigate the sounds of battle—and point the way to the nearby Pokémon Center. Relieved and happy, Serena races Fennekin all the way there!

==Plot==
The episode opens up with {{an|Serena}} being given a [[Pokédex]] by [[Professor Sycamore]], as she chooses one of the three Kalos [[starter Pokémon]]. She scans each Pokémon with her new Pokédex and exclaims to Professor Sycamore that she has already decided which she would choose before she left home. Her choice is revealed to be {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} are resting in the woods as they make their way to [[Santalune City]]. Bonnie gushes over {{AP|Pikachu}}'s cuteness and strokes his tail, and then excitedly asks Ash if she can also pet {{AP|Fletchling}}. Ash takes out Fletchling and Bonnie begins to clean its wings.

Ash then allows Bonnie to feed Pikachu and Fletchling some Pokémon food. However, a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} runs up to Bonnie, snatches a piece of Pokémon food from her hand, and runs up a tree to eat it. The three are shocked, as they realize that this Dedenne is the same one that ran away from them in the [[XY003|previous episode]]. Bonnie still desperately wants the Dedenne, but it runs away again, and the three chase after it. Ash asks Fletchling to follow Dedenne by air but it loses sight of the Antenna Pokémon. While searching, Bonnie trips over a small hole and sees Dedenne in a similar hole.

The group attempt to catch Dedenne who trick Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie by appearing in different holes along the path, and {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}}'s and Pikachu help to try cornering Dedenne in those holes. Pikachu eventually corners Dedenne underground before tackling Dedenne. The force causes the pair to roll down too far down the tunnel to roll out of a cliff face into a field.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} spot the two {{type|Electric}} Pokémon communicating via electricity and [[James]] correctly identifies Dedenne using his handheld computer flash cards. They notice that the "twerps" are not present and begin plotting to catch both Pokémon.

Elsewhere, Ash and his friends notice that neither Dedenne nor Pikachu are coming back out of the holes. Clemont asks Bunnelby to search for the two.

At the same time, Pikachu and Dedenne attempt to reach Ash and the group and Pikachu notices that Dedenne is hungry. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to retrieve a [[Sitrus Berry]] which Dedenne begins to eat. However, they are interrupted by Team Rocket who try but fail to capture the two. Pikachu and Dedenne run away, and Pikachu retaliates with Thunderbolt. Jessie commands {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} to {{m|Mirror Move|counter}} the move which hits Pikachu and Dedenne.

Meanwhile, Bunnelby arrives from searching but shakes its head sadly that Pikachu and Dedenne could not be found. Ash then commands Fletchling to search for the two Pokémon.

Back with Team Rocket, Pikachu and Dedenne have fled onto a steep rocky cliff face. Jessie throws an electric net at the pair which misses, but causes Dedenne to fall. Pikachu manages to grab its tail and then both run further up the rocky cliff face. To catch up to them, [[James]] decides to use his new {{TP|James|Inkay}}, and Inkay manages to injure Dedenne with {{m|Tackle}}. Inkay proceeds to use {{m|Psybeam}} which knocks both Electric Pokémon into a river. Team Rocket then chase them downstream on an inflatable boat but end up crashing into a rock. The boat deflates, which sends them {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|blasting off}}.

Pikachu and Dedenne manage to land on the river bank as Ash's Fletchling flies overhead and finds Pikachu and a weakened Dedenne. Ash and friends reunite with the two Pokémon, and Clemont decides to heal Dedenne by recharging Dedenne with electricity. He charges up his "[[List of Clemont's inventions|Electricity Generator]]" which makes Dedenne feel better, but Clemont forgets to add an essential part of the machine, causing it to explode.

Team Rocket returns and Clemont commands Dedenne to fight. Dedenne uses Tackle on James's Inkay, but Inkay retaliates with {{m|Foul Play}}. Inkay then uses Psybeam which Dedenne dodges, then hits Inkay with another Tackle. Dedenne uses {{m|Nuzzle}}, {{status|paralyzing}} the Revolving Pokémon. Dedenne and Pikachu then use {{m|Thunder Shock}} and Thunderbolt simultaneously, sending a lightning bolt at Inkay and Team Rocket, sending them blasting them off yet again. With Team Rocket taken care of, Clemont finally catches Dedenne. The three are overjoyed, especially Bonnie. Clemont lets Dedenne out of its Poké Ball, and Bonnie unwittingly tells Dedenne to use Nuzzle, resulting in another electric shock for her! Dedenne then begins to sleep to conserve his energy.

The episodes ends with Serena and her new Fennekin walking through the woods, looking for a [[Pokémon Center]]. Growing dark, she worries about having to camp, and notices a person along the path who she goes to ask for directions. The person turns out to be a {{p|Vespiquen}} which attacks them, but Fennekin saves the day when she repels the Vespiquen with {{m|Ember}}. The Vespiquen flees and [[Nurse Joy]] and {{p|Wigglytuff}} arrive shortly after. Nurse Joy helps lead the two to the nearby Pokémon Center.

* This episode reveals that {{MTR}} cannot translate Electric-type Pokémon's electrical language.
** This contradicts the events of ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', where Meowth translates the electrical langauge used between Ash's Pikachu and {{OBP|Legendary birds|M02|Zapdos}}. It should be noted, however, that both Zapdos and Pikachu were also verbally communicating at the same time during the movie.

===Errors===
* In one scene, [[Jessie]] is missing her earrings.
* In the scene where {{TP|Clemont|Bunnelby}} comes out of a hole after searching for {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}, when the camera is behind it, its ears are shown to be behind its head, but when the camera switched forward, the ears are shown to be in front of its head.

===Dub edits===
* In this episode, most of the background music present in the Japanese version is replaced with dub music.
* Like in the past three episodes, the title card is lacking the characters' shadows in the dub for an unknown reason. This edit was reverted in home video and iTunes releases, as well as non-US airings.
* For unknown reasons, the title card segment was skipped in the Hindi dub.

==Blurb==

Our heroes have finally arrived in Santalune City, and Ash can’t wait to get on with his first Kalos region Gym battle! Clemont and Bonnie aren’t sure of the Gym’s location, but a photographer offers them directions after snapping a wonderful photo of Ash and Pikachu. Thanks to her, they quickly find the Santalune Gym, where they run into Alexa and Helioptile! Alexa figured they would be there to challenge her Gym Leader sister soon, so she waited for them.

Then, the Gym Leader herself arrives: it’s Viola, the photographer they met earlier! After a tour of the Gym, which contains a gallery of some of Viola’s excellent photographs, it’s time for Ash’s challenge. Ash starts out with Pikachu, while Viola uses Surskit. And soon after the battle begins, someone else arrives to join Alexa, Clemont, and Bonnie on the sidelines...Serena!

Viola uses Surskit’s Ice Beam to convert the Gym into a frozen battlefield. Pikachu has trouble moving on the slippery surface, and Surskit (who can skate nimbly across the ice) quickly gains the upper hand, leaving Ash with one Pokémon left: Fletchling.

As a Flying-type, Fletchling not only has a type advantage over Surskit, but can also avoid the icy battlefield completely. Fletchling defeats Surskit, and Viola brings out Vivillon, whose powerful Gust attack knocks Fletchling into a [[Sticky Web]] left behind from one of Surskit’s attacks. Fletchling can’t get away, and Vivillon quickly brings the challenge to an end.

Ash and the others rush off to the Pokémon Center to get help for Pikachu and Fletchling, but Serena notices that Ash has forgotten his [[bag|backpack]] and follows after them. Alexa offers to help Ash train for his rematch, since her Noivern also knows Gust. After several failed attempts to stand steady against the force of Noivern’s Gust, Pikachu, Fletching, and Ash are all exhausted and frustrated. Serena offers Ash her support...and a question: does he remember her?

==Plot==
{{an|Serena}} and her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} are eating breakfast, and when they are finished, they continue to [[Santalune City]] to try and find {{Ash}}. Meanwhile, Ash is sprinting through the streets of Santalune City, looking for the [[Santalune Gym]], with {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}} trying to catch up. When Clemont trips and asks Ash where the Santalune Gym is, Ash replies unconcernedly that he has no clue where it might be located. At that moment, a woman named [[Viola]] takes a picture of Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} smiling at each other on the fountain. Viola then provides directions to the Gym and Ash runs off again, eager for his Gym battle. When the group arrives at the Gym, [[Alexa]]'s {{p|Helioptile}} happily runs to Ash and greets him, who is surprised to see Alexa there. Much to the group's surprise, Viola reappears and introduces herself as Alexa's sister, leading Ash to deduce that she is the [[Gym Leader]].

Viola takes the group into the Gym and shows them the collection of photographs she has taken during her career. Bonnie, seizing her opportunity, begs Viola to take care of her brother, when a mortified Clemont drags her away with his [[List of Clemont's inventions|Aipom Arm]]. Meanwhile, Serena has just arrived in town, and she is excited about her reunion with Ash, eager to see the look on his face when he recognizes her. Ash's Gym battle with Viola begins and she sends out her {{p|Surskit}}, with Ash choosing Pikachu. Although Ash tries {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Electro Ball}}, Viola has effective counters to all of his moves, be it {{m|Protect|protecting}}, dodging, or responding with an attack of her own. During the battle, Alexa tells Clemont and Bonnie that defeating her sister is no easy task. Viola then commands Surskit to use {{m|Ice Beam}} on the battlefield. Surrounding Pikachu with a frozen battlefield, Surskit gives itself a significant advantage by using its skating abilities to move freely on the ice while its adversary has trouble even standing up. Although Pikachu manages to score a direct hit with Iron Tail, Surskit is too much to handle and Pikachu is taken out of the match. Ash chooses {{AP|Fletchling}} as his next Pokémon.

At that moment, Serena arrives at the gym. Upon seeing Ash, she is so excited that she fails to notice that he is in the middle of a battle, but Alexa notices her and invites her to watch the battle with her, Clemont, and Bonnie. Ash's Fletchling leads off with {{m|Peck}}, which Surskit dodges, and then avoids another Ice Beam from Surskit. Viola's Pokémon then uses {{m|Sticky Web}} and, although Fletchling dodges it, the web sprays all over the ceiling and walls of the Gym. Finally, Fletchling manages to defeat Surskit with a {{m|Razor Wind}} attack. However, Viola sends out her {{p|Vivillon}} next. Just like with Surskit, Ash begins with Peck, but Vivillon uses {{m|Psychic}} and then {{m|Gust}} to send Fletchling into one of Surskit's Sticky Web attacks. Now trapped and unable to break free, Fletchling is unable to dodge Vivillon's {{m|Solar Beam}} and is defeated, making Viola the winner of the match.

Stung by his defeat, Ash requests a rematch when he is ready for it, to which Viola agrees, and he hurries his Pokémon to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Serena tries to say something to Ash as he leaves, but the latter is too concerned about his injured Pokémon to notice her. However, she notices that Ash left his backpack behind by accident and follows him with it. Back at the Gym, Viola shows Alexa the picture of Ash and Pikachu from before and remarks on their strong bond. Viola also mentions how she was unimpressed by Ash's battling style and that their bond wasn't evident in the way they battled that day. Alexa warns her not to underestimate Ash and that things might turn out very differently in their rematch.

Meanwhile, Ash is still upset about his loss, remembering how he was completely overwhelmed by Viola's strategies. As he ponders how he might do things differently next time, Serena returns his backpack to him. Bonnie and Clemont run over, recognizing her from when they were watching Ash's battle. They introduce themselves, and Ash apologizes for not noticing her before since he was so into the battle. He introduces himself, as does Serena, who starts asking him something before being interrupted by the Pokémon Center bell. Pikachu and Fletchling are now fully recovered, and Ash introduces them to Serena. Serena asks Nurse Joy to look at Fennekin, whom she tells Ash and {{ashfr}} about receiving from [[Professor Sycamore]] not too long ago. As Nurse Joy examines Fennekin, Alexa arrives at the Pokémon Center and agrees to help Ash train for his rematch against Viola. On the battlefield at the Pokémon Center, Alexa summons her {{p|Noivern}}, who is also capable of using Gust. Although Pikachu and Fletchling try to stand up to Noivern's Gust, they are blown away, leading Ash to run forward and catch them before they can fall. He encourages them, and they do better the second time, but are still ultimately overpowered by the Gust. While Ash wonders how he is going to compensate for Viola's strategies, Serena walks up to him and offers him a handkerchief before asking if he remembers her.

==Trivia==
[[File:Title Card XY Ash.png|thumb|200px|The title card segment focuses on Ash for this episode]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]]: {{p|Dedenne}}
* This is the first episode of the {{series|XY}} in which {{TRT}} does not appear.
* Music from ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'' is used in this episode.
* [http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-episodes/17_05-a-blustery-santalune-gym-battle/ Pokemon.com] originally referred to this episode as the 15th episode instead of the fifth. This was fixed shortly afterwards.

===Errors===
* When Viola goes to them before she tells Ash and his friends which way to the Gym Leader, the wristband on [[Viola]]'s left hand is missing.
* The pictures in the lobby of the Gym switch sides between shots.
* {{AP|Pikachu}} seemingly vanishes from the bottom step of the battlefield after Ash places him there.
* In one scene, [[Alexa#Helioptile|Helioptile]]'s triangle near its nose and eyes is missing.
* When [[Viola]] orders her {{p|Vivillon}} to throw {{AP|Fletchling}} to the ground, her extended hand has her thumb placed under her hair.
* When Ash gives Pikachu a rest, Viola's Surskit wasn't on the battlefield.
* When Viola shows photos to Alexa she made after beating Ash from her Gym Battle, her right arm is half colored the same way as her shirt.

==Blurb==

While Serena is on her way to Professor Sycamore to receive her first Pokémon, Ash successfully registers for the Kalos League and calls Professor Oak to show off Froakie, his first Kalos Pokémon. Then, to our hero’s happy surprise, Clemont and Bonnie ask Ash if they can accompany him on his Kalos journey, with the Santalune City Gym as their first stop!

As the trio set off, Jessie, James, and Meowth are checking in with their Boss, promising him that Team Rocket will catch as many rare and powerful Pokémon as possible in the Kalos region. With Giovanni’s approval, they set off as well.

The first new Pokémon our heroes come across is a hungry Dedenne in a tree, who struggles with a large berry before dropping it to the ground. Bonnie decides she just has to have Dedenne, and asks Clemont to catch it for her. Ash agrees to help, but an ornery Fletchling suddenly swoops down, steals the berry, and eats it. Crying, Dedenne runs away, but Ash decides Fletchling would be a great addition to his team!

Without any word from Ash, Froakie unexpectedly springs into battle mode, while Clemont produces his “Flying-type Pokémon Attractor Machine” in an attempt to lure Fletchling out of the sky. But without a plan, Froakie is unsuccessful, and Clemont’s machine turns out to have no effect on Flying-type Pokémon. It does, however, succeed in attracting a huge swarm of angry Beedrill!

Deciding on a different strategy, Ash makes use of Froakie’s amazing jumping skills, turning an environment full of cliffs and ledges into an enormous battlefield. A more even battle ensues between Fletchling and Froakie, and after a couple of attempts, Ash has his second Kalos Pokémon—Fletchling!

Meanwhile, catching Kalos Pokémon seems to be all the rage, as elsewhere James manages to catch an Inkay that’s been following Team Rocket to steal their food...

And away from all this action, Serena has arrived at the Sycamore Pokémon Lab. As a new Trainer, she must now choose her first Pokémon: Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie. Who will it be?

==Plot==
{{an|Serena}}, having [[XY002|seen Ash on television and recognized him]], decides to leave for [[Professor Sycamore]]'s research laboratory in [[Lumiose City]] to receive her first Pokémon. Her mother wishes her luck and reminds her to keep practicing her {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing. Meanwhile, {{an|Bonnie}} and {{an|Clemont}} lead {{Ash}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] so he can register for the [[Kalos]] [[Pokémon League|League]]. On the way, Clemont expresses his awe of Ash's bravery when helping out {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Professor Sycamore#Garchomp|Garchomp]] the previous day. {{TRT}}, who is having lunch elsewhere in [[Lumiose City]], contact {{an|Giovanni}} and inform him they are in Kalos with the intention to steal rare and valuable Pokémon. Giovanni approves the mission, however while talking the three don't notice an {{TP|James|Pokémon|Inkay}} stealing and eating [[James]]'s croissant.

Later, as Ash is about to depart for [[Santalune City]], Clemont and Bonnie ask Ash if they may accompany him on his journey, to which he happily accepts. As the three friends are walking through a forest, a berry drops from the treetops, followed by a {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. The Dedenne and {{AP|Pikachu}} look at each other, communicating by transmitting electricity from their cheek pouches. Bonnie, overjoyed by Dedenne's charm and cuteness, begs Clemont to let her keep it, to which he agrees. Just before Bonnie gives the berry that dropped from the trees back to Dedenne, a wild {{AP|Fletchling}} swoops down from the sky, snatches the berry from Bonnie's hand, and eats it. Dedenne cries and runs away, saddening Bonnie, because Clemont speculates that Dedenne might not return because its food was stolen.

Froakie is enraged at Fletchling for stealing the berry and attempts to attack it. However, Fletchling's speed and flying prowess prevent Froakie from landing a hit. Although Ash tries to stop Froakie so that they can form a strategy, his Pokémon's stubbornness is preventing it from listening to reason. Eventually, Ash manages to calm Froakie down and they begin to plan out a strategy for catching Fletchling. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is flying nearby in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. Because his croissant had been stolen earlier, James is hungry, so Meowth brings out some sandwiches, which are stolen by an {{p|Inkay}} - the same Pokémon that stole James's croissant earlier. While James distracts Inkay with more sandwiches, he throws a [[Poké Ball]] at it, catching it.

In order to find Fletchling, who fled while Ash and Froakie were coming up with their strategy, Clemont produces an invention of his that resembles a {{wp|phonograph}}, designed to attract {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. However, the machine fails to work properly and instead attracts a swarm of {{p|Beedrill}}. The machine then explodes, sending the three friends flying into a large ravine. Clemont is discouraged at the failure of his device, but Ash encourages him by expressing his amazement that it attracted, albeit unintentionally, all of the Beedrill that it did. Then, the Fletchling from earlier flies overhead, laughing at the three of them. Ash comes up with a new strategy to catch Fletchling, using the cliffs of the ravine. With his strategy prepared, Ash begins another battle with Fletchling and uses Froakie. Ash's Froakie uses the cliffs of the ravine to bring itself to the same height as Fletchling, and manages to knock Fletchling out of the air with a Bubble attack. Ash throws a Poké Ball, but the persistent bird Pokémon manages to escape. Froakie creates a fake version of himself using its frubbles, which Fletchling gets caught in. Froakie then knocks Fletchling out of the air again, this time with a Water Pulse attack. Ash throws another Poké Ball, and this time, he is successful in capturing Fletchling. Unbeknownst to the group, he Dedenne from earlier hides behind a rock and observes the three heroes as they continue their journey to Santalune City.

The episode ends with Serena visiting Professor Sycamore's lab, which is still partially damaged from the previous episode. Serena asks about the damage, and is happy to hear that the boy who saved Garchomp was indeed Ash, like she had thought. Sycamore informs her that Ash is headed to the Santalune City Gym. One of Sycamore's assistants brings out the three starter Pokémon, {{p|Chespin}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, and {{p|Froakie}}, for Serena to choose.

Pokémon SP (TCG)

2016-05-20T16:08:01Z

Sly Fox: /* Pokémon M */ Proper possessive ending

[[File:WeavileGPlatinum17.jpg|thumb|200px|right|An example of a Pokémon {{SP|G}}, one of several varieties of Pokémon SP]]
'''Pokémon SP''' are a variant of Pokémon found in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. They debuted in the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion, the first of the ''Platinum'' Series. They are the successor to {{TCG|Owner's Pokémon}}.

Pokémon SP (an abbreviated form of Special Pokémon) vary depending on the theme of the expansion in which they appear. All Pokémon SP are Basic Pokémon and have a stylized "SP" logo in the bottom-left corner of the illustration box, as well as having a 2x weakness. Pokémon SP also include a suffix in the name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon.

==Pokémon G==
The first variant of SP Pokémon were '''Pokémon {{SP|G}}''', released in {{TCG|Platinum}}. Pokémon {{SP|G}} cards are classified as "Galactic's Pokémon" (this text replaces the Pokédex data in the illustration bar) and have an icon of their respective [[Team Galactic]] owner in the bottom-right corner of the illustration box. All Pokémon G also have "{{SP|G}}" at the end of their name in order to differentiate them from other Pokémon. Several examples include:

* {{p|Probopass}} {{SP|G}} cannot evolve from {{p|Nosepass}} because it is a Basic Pokémon and because its name is not Probopass.
* {{p|Darkrai}} {{SP|G}} cannot be leveled-up into Darkrai LV.X, as its name is not Darkrai.
* {{p|Dialga}} {{SP|G}} cannot be leveled-up into Dialga LV.X, but it can be leveled-up into Dialga {{SP|G}} LV.X.
* Dialga cannot be leveled-up into Dialga {{SP|G}} LV.X.
* One may have 4 Dialga or Dialga LV.X in a deck as well as 4 Dialga {{SP|G}} or Dialga {{SP|G}} LV.X.

'''Shu''' (Japanese: '''シュウ''' ''Shū''), is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] that specializes in capturing wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He is the main character of the [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]] manga.

==Character==
[[File:Shu 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Shu in his alternate outfit]]
Shu uses a device called the [[Income]], a headset created by his {{TP|Shu|father}} that lets him talk to his Pokémon. He also uses a [[Pokédex]]. He has terrible aim and frequently misses his targets when throwing Poké Balls. Shu is enthusiastic and often comes up with bizarre but effective schemes for capturing wild Pokémon, such as dressing up in giant Pokémon suits. He is very loyal to his Pokémon, though his {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}} is willful and will refuse orders. His rival is [[Tomio]].

==History==
Shu met his Pikachu in ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter: I Caught a Pikachu!]]'' when he found Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]] abandoned in a forest. Apparently, the Poké Ball had become defective and was releasing Pikachu's electricity everywhere. Shu was able to fight against the current and release Pikachu, after which they became partners. Even though they are close friends, they argue constantly.

Shu made his first official appearance in ''[[GDZ01|Shu and Pikachu's Debut!]]'' traveling with Pikachu. While encountering a {{p|Caterpie}}, he has Pikachu battle it before a {{p|Pidgey}} eats it for dinner. Pikachu refused as he was tired and fell asleep in a hanging sleeping bag. Pikachu told Shu to capture it himself. Shu tried many tactics to catch Caterpie but they all failed. Shu tried the Transformation Tactic as his last tactic by dressing up as one. As Caterpie got distracted by the sight of Shu's disguise, Shu escaped from his costume and caught Caterpie. As Shu was celebrating, a flock of Pidgey grab him by the costume as they think he was their dinner. Shu was freed by Pikachu as the flock released him from midair and as they crashed, Shu and Pikachu go back to their arguing.

In ''[[GDZ02|A Powerful Opponent, Venusaur!]]'', they get lost in a forest and while Shu quietly sneaked in the grass, he bumped into a {{p|Venusaur}}. He pulled it out to get a closer look but Venusaur started to become angry at Shu for doing so. As Pikachu battled it, Shu told him to get away from Venusaur as it was too big. Shu eventually protected Pikachu after Venusaur was about to attack him with its vines. The bond between Shu and Pikachu caused Venusaur to cease its attacks.

In ''[[GDZ03|A Match For Pokémon]]'', Shu attempted to capture a {{p|Venomoth}} but [[Tomio]] beated him to it. Tomio accused Shu of being a slowpoke when he was unable to capture Venomoth as well as other Pokémon from a couple of meters away. Shu, insulted, challenged Tomio to a match to see who can capture the most Pokémon. The match went underway and by the time it was sunset, Shu had 19 Pokémon. He encountered a {{p|Nidoran♂}} and since Nidoran♂ had an injured leg, Shu gave him a bandage instead of capturing him. As the contest concluded, Shu had caught fewer Pokémon than Tomio so he was about to give up his Pokédex until Nidoran♂ and its family showed up and the match went to Shu.

Shu arrived in [[Celadon University]] in ''[[GDZ06|The Challenge at Celadon University!]]''. A gatekeeper stopped him before Shu went in. The gatekeeper gives him an entrance exam in order to determine if Shu will be allowed in. Shu answered the question correctly and went in. He went to the Chemical Research Laboratory first and was given more questions during his journey in Celadon University in which he incorrectly answered the first as it was asking for the highest price tag instead of the tallest.

Shu heard a noise in the Pokémon University Hospital and went to check it out, which was a {{p|Machamp}} struggling during treatment. Shu tried getting Machamp to calm down with Pikachu's {{m|ThunderShock}} but it made Machamp more angry and destroyed a fish tank containing a {{p|Magikarp}}. Shu jumped in to protect Magikarp and gets pounded on by Machamp. Eventually, Magikarp saved him with {{m|Dragon Rage}} as it wanted to do the same that Shu did for it. As Shu saved the university, he was rewarded with a medal with Magikarp and {{p|Gyarados}} engravings on it.

In ''[[GDZ08|A Farfetch'd Fencing Match!]]'', he attempts to catch a {{p|Farfetch'd}} but Farfetch'd sliced the Poké Ball in half. Farfetch'd's Trainer, [[Ryoma]], arrived and accused Shu of stealing his Farfetch'd. Ryoma battled Shu after making fun of Shu and Pikachu. Shu had trouble keeping up with Farfetch'd since it was too fast. Eventually, Shu came up with a technique called Lightning Sword and defeated Ryoma and Farfetch'd.

List of Team Rocket's disguises

2016-05-20T15:56:12Z

Sly Fox: /* Johto */ Singular

[[File:Best Wishes Team Rocket.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket's disguises in the {{series|Best Wishes}}|250px]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Team Rocket]] members often use a variety of disguises in order to carry out their schemes, the most well-known example of this being those of [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}. A running gag involving Jessie, James, and Meowth is no matter how obvious or see-through their disguises are, Ash and his friends never wise up until it's too late.

==[[Original series]]==
===[[Kanto]]===
*''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'': Jessie, James, and Meowth appear in black {{wp|Ōendan}} outfits, complete with hats, black shades, and a flag emblazoned with an R. Jessie's outfit has a blue undershirt, James's a red one, and Meowth's is green.
[[File:Team Rocket ganguro girls.png|thumb|250px|James thought that being a girl was "Cooooooool!"]]
*''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'': Jessie and James both disguise as teenage girls with black shoes, short skirts, and James wearing a blonde wig (somewhat resembling his regular hairdo), and Jessie an orange one (similar to her hairstyle), making this the first time James dresses like a woman in the series. Later Jessie, James and other human Team Rocket members disguise as waiters aboard the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]].
*''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'': Jessie and James both don swimsuits to enter the Swimsuit and Pokémon Costume contest, and James wears an inflatable bodysuit giving him large breasts to give him a more feminine appearance. James' disguise is notable for causing the initial ban of this episode in the United States.
*''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as Hawaiian girls, donning flowered necklaces, green grass skirts and wigs (Jessie's is orange, James's is brown), when tricking our heroes into thinking that Ash is the millionth visitor to [[Saffron City]].
*''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-Sation]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as "[[Ashley]]'s" parents, with Jessie wearing a pink kimono robe and glasses and her hair tied up in a bun on top, and James wearing a bald cap and a fake nose and glasses with Meowth hidden under his shirt to simulate a belly
*''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as Fashion Artists. Jessie wears a black top and a red slit skirt, while James wears a long black coat and red slacks. Both also wear glasses. Meowth simply wears a blue jacket with a yellow undershirt, serving as the cashier for Salon Roquét.
*''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth enter the P1 Grand Prix with a {{p|Hitmonlee}} they stole from a tall man and swipe the man's gray trench coat and bowler hat. They stack up wearing the clothes, with Jessie at the top, to make it look like they entered the Hitmonlee themselves.
*''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth appear wearing Japanese scarves and coats upon entering the restaurant to pose as Kaz Gym bodyguards.
*''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]'': Jessie and James both disguise as punk rockers, complete with leather jackets, pierced ears, wild wigs and the like, when they let our heroes use a stage to let {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|Sing}}.
*''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'': Jessie and Meowth wear black "invisible" costumes and push James into his {{TP|James|parents}}' estate as Jessie tries to imitate James's voice to collect the will. The "invisible" costumes were repeated by all in the two-part Ash-Paul battle arc, ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Meddle]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies]]''.
*''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as female egg-sellers with old-fashioned dresses, bonnets, and baskets full of fake [[Pokémon Egg]]s in an attempt to steal the {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} egg.
*''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as an elderly couple, complete with gray wigs and old-fashioned clothes. Jessie wears glasses and James wears a fake mustache.
*''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'': Jessie and James are disguised when they enter the [[Pokémon League]] test: Jessie wears a gray woman's business outfit, black skirt, glasses with her hair in braids and black Mary Jane shoes, while James also wears glasses, along with a blue suit.
**This is also one of the few times where one of the duo didn't recognize the other in disguise (James didn't recognize Jessie until after she took off her glasses).
*''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'': Jessie and James are disguised during a fake magic act they put on for the {{tc|School Kid|schoolchildren}}, with Jessie wearing a magician's tuxedo, top hat and glasses, and James wearing a pink dress and disguised as the lovely assistant.
*''[[EP054|The Case of the K-9 Caper]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as Officer Jenny while using a megaphone that disguises their voices as other characters (Ash, Misty, etc.) This is repeated (along with Meowth in a costume and without the voice changing megaphone) in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]''.
*''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corall]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as a news crew for PNN, Pokémon News Network, and they wanted to interview Ash in a segment called ''Pokémon Masters of Tomorrow''.
**Note: This is the first time that they tricked someone onscreen who wasn't Ash and his friends. Instead, they tricked Delia into telling them where Ash is.
*''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'': Jessie is disguised in a Nurse Joy costume complete with a mask and James disguises himself as an ordinary nurse (with a surgical mask covering his mouth) at a fake Pokémon Center that they set up. Surprisingly Jessie's Nurse Joy disguise was an imitation of the real Nurse Joy's appearance where the lips did not move, which Brock took notice of.

===[[Johto]]===
*''[[EP123|The Spinarak Attack]]'': The trio dresses as medieval thieves stealing items akin to The Black Arachnid.
*''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'': Jessie and James are disguised as doctors, wearing full white suits with gloves, mouth covers, and white skullcaps with red lines and a Red Cross on the front.
*''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer With Fire]]'': Jessie and James are weakly disguised as survey takers from the Pokémon Bureau.
*''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]'': The trio is disguised as farmers.
*''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as inventors with a "machine" that supposedly makes the user's Pokémon stronger, but instead, winds up as empty [[Poké Ball]]s.
*''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' : James, inspired from a phony Pokémon zodiac book given to them by Butch and Cassidy (in disguise), dresses in a {{p|Moltres}} costume for the first time. This is repeated in ''The Dunsparce Deception'' in a Pokémon stage show to the great disappointment of the children watching.
*''[[EP160|Air Time]]'': The trio disguise themselves as a ventriloquist act called "The [[Dugtrio Trio]]", with Meowth as the dummy.
*''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves as [[Duplica]] and {{Ash}} respectively. This appears to serve no real purpose as they immediately reveal themselves to the real Duplica and Ash and are not seen in the outfits again.
*''[[EP193|The Dunsparce Deception]]'': Jessie and James are dressed like pirates when they first attempt to steal our heroes' Pokémon. Later, James disguises as a town messenger with a blue shirt, straw hat and a hand bell when announcing the Pokémon stage show, in which James wears the Moltres costume first shown in ''The Fortune Hunters'', and Meowth wears a {{p|Dunsparce}} costume, to the great disappointment of the kids watching.
*''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'': Jessie and James disguise themselves in standard black Team Rocket uniforms in order to sneak into an underwater Rocket lab and take credit for [[Professor Namba]]'s plan. Later, in ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Jessie and James once again don the black Rocket uniforms in a second attempt to steal the captured {{p|Lugia}}.
*''[[EP226|Espeon Not Included]]'': Team Rocket disguises themselves as {{wp|Geisha}} girls as they try to steal an unevolved {{p|Eevee}} that would later evolve into an {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}.
*''[[EP245|Will The Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]'': The trio disguises themselves in [[Maroon Town]] as [[DJ Mary]] (Jessie), {{an|Professor Oak}} (James) and a loud-mouthed radio producer (Meowth). James would repeat the Oak disguise in ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]''
*''[[EP258|Hatch Me if You Can]]'': Jessie and James disguised themselves as Nurse Joy and a doctor respectably and claimed to be from the New Bark Town Pokémon Center at the Pokémon Center where Ash and his friends were, with Meowth hiding in Jessie's dress to act as Nurse Joy's breasts. The two tried to steal the {{AP|Larvitar}} that just hatched after they got rid of the real Nurse Joy, but Brock was able to tell it was an impostor due to the mask's mouth not moving, among other details.

=={{series|Advanced Generation}}==
*[[File:Lord Sir James Jamison.png|thumb|250px|Team Rocket's deception in ''Do I hear a Ralts?'' was outed by the Pokédex.]]''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'': James disguises himself in a grayish brown suit with a matching hat, white gloves, a mustache, and glasses, calling him self Lord Sir James Jamison, Esquire. Jessie and Meowth are disguised as a {{p|Gardevoir}} and a {{p|Kirlia}}, respectively.
**This is notable as this was the first time their ruse was blown by the Pokédex (it identified Meowth by its species rather than as a Kirlia. Later on, [[DP014|a similar]] incident happened, albeit with Meowth disguised as a Shiftry instead of as a Kirlia).
*''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'': Jessie and James disguise as Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy respectively when attempting to steal the Moltres flame where a crowd of real Jennies and Joys are appearing. Interestingly, unlike when Jessie disguised as Nurse Joy previously, James does not use a mask, but their disguises for the most part appear flawless except for their true eyes obviously being shaped differently from the real Joys and Jennies, and by James's fake falsetto voice.
*In the movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', Jessie and James are disguised as clowns at a carnival handing out flyers promoting a magic show staged by The Great Butler.
*''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby!]]'': Meowth and [[James's Mime Jr.]] disguised as Smoochum in order to fool the trio of parent Jynx. This failed miserably.
*''[[AG111| Eight Ain't Enough]]'': [[James]] disguises himself as [[Juan]].

=={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}==
[[File:Team Rocket Galactic Grunts.png|thumb|250px|Jessie and James wearing Team Galactic Grunt disguises in ''The Needs of Three'']]
*''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era]]'': Jessie, James, and Meowth have on open, green sales jackets. Jessie wears clear glasses with her hair tied up in a bun. James has only the clear glasses. Meowth has nothing on besides the jacket.
**This disguise has been claimed by many senior members of the fan base to be the worst disguise to have ever been used by the Team Rocket Trio (as it didn't even cover the most glaring flaw of their disguise, the R on their uniforms), and is often used by most of them as reasons why Ash and Brock should have been able to tell right away that they were Team Rocket.
*''[[DP008|Gymbaliar]]'': Jessie is dressed up in likeness of her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. She wears a purple dress with matching purple gloves. The dress has a red waistband in the front, and there are scales going down her dress to imitate her Seviper's. She also has red and yellow glasses that vaguely resemble Seviper's eyes. James is dressed up in a white suit with a pink shirt and matching pink tie and orange shades. Meowth is dressed up in a red suit with a blue bow tie and regular shades.

She has a star on her left eye, a tear on her right eye, and her nose is painted pink. James is wearing a red suit with a blue hat that has a little green ball attached at the tip of it. He has small glasses and a gigantic green bowtie, as well as red paint over his mouth. Meowth is wearing a red suit with a matching red hat. The hat has a little white ball on the top of it. He also has blue stripes painted vertically over his eyes.
* ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]'': The trio disguised themselves as the "C-Button League". Aside from shirts with the letter "C", they wore sunglasses with the letter "C" making up the frames.
*''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies]]'': When Ash and his friends went the store to buy supplies, they left all their Pokémon on the steamboat, and while the Pokémon were on the boat by themselves Team Rocket showed up, with James disguised as a Plusle, Meowth disguised as a Minun, and Jessie disguised as an entertainer. They were sent blasting off with Pikachu's Thunderbolt, Aipom's Swift, Buizel's Sonic Boom, Turtwig's Razor Leaf, Buneary's Ice Beam and Piplup's Bubblebeam.
*''[[DP044|Mass Hip-Po-Sis]]'': The trio dresses up as exquisite [[Type-enhancing item#Soft sand|sand]] merchants to try to steal {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Hippopotas}}. They include a bag of sand to lure Hippopotas into and a picnic blanket in their disguise.

*''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success]]'': James disguises himself as "Jessilina" in the Lilypad Contest, and wins as Jessie is sick.
*In the two-part story arc ''[[DP151|The Needs of Three]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend]]'', Jessie and James, along with [[Looker]], are disguised as [[Team Galactic]] grunts in order to stop [[Cyrus]]' plan to start a new world order.
*''[[DP153|The Treasure is All Mine!]]'': At the outset of the story, Jessie, James and Meowth do their disguise of pirates that was first seen as they introduced themselves in ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''. Later, when James returns to one of his summer homes in the region, Jessie disguises herself as [[Jessiebelle]] to gain entry, and Meowth is disguised as a dapper gentleman with a top hat.
*''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'': Jessie, James and Meowth disguise themselves as members of the Pokémon Rescue Society in order to give a lesson to Ash and Dawn about [[Dawn's Piplup|the latter's Piplup]] running away after another {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[Ash's Gible]] goes astray.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and friends decide to visit Professor Birch. On the road they are nearly run over by Birch in his jeep, on his way to the port to pick up Professor Oak. Ash and Brock join him, while May and Max head to his lab.

May and Max are admiring the Hoenn starter Pokémon at the lab (Treecko, Mudkip, and Torchic), when Professor Oak shows up. He shows them the Kanto starter Pokémon he brought: Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander. May befriends the Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket arrives and kidnaps all six starter Pokémon, and Professor Oak and the siblings go after them. They track the thieves to a Secret Base, but fall into a trap and are imprisoned. Team Rocket also takes May's Poké Balls.

Meanwhile, Birch, Ash, and Brock are hot on the trail with the help of a Poochyena.

Oak and the siblings escape from imprisonment with the starter Pokémon. Oak has a Zubat use Supersonic on Team Rocket while the Bulbasaur uses its vines to grab May's Poké Balls. After running, they eventually find their way to an outside door, but can't break out.

Professor Birch and company arrive outside the door, where they use Water-type attacks on the door and then have Pikachu blast it with electricity. A group of Pokémon on Oak's side knocks down the now-weakened door with Tackle or Pound.

Team Rocket shows up again, but all of the Pokémon team up with their different attacks to send the crooks blasting off. After saying goodbye, the kids depart for Fortree City.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are once again on the road to the [[Fortree Gym|next Gym]]. Ash is busy admiring his [[Badge]]s when he asks {{an|Brock}} where they are heading next. Brock explains that there is another Gym in [[Fortree City]]. Ash gets excited by this and exclaims that this is their next stop. [[Max]] is a little tired out of Gym battles, and {{an|May}} remarks that Ash is forgetting how far Fortree is. The scene then zooms out to show that the group has arrived in [[Littleroot Town]]. Up on a hill is [[Professor Birch]]'s lab.

Ash can't wait to see Birch's expression when he sees them and May can't wait to show the professor all the Pokémon she has captured. Suddenly, Professor Birch zooms off a nearby cliff with his SUV splashing sand all over the group. He skids to a stop next to them. The group gets reacquainted and then Birch comments that he on his way to pick up {{an|Professor Oak}} from the [[Slateport City|harbor]]. Ash is shocked and Birch remarks that the two are having a bit of a disagreement, so he invited Oak over to prove him wrong. Ash and friends are embarrassed for him. Birch then asks Ash if he would like to join him and Ash agrees. He and Brock jump into the SUV and May and Max decide to wait at the lab for them. As they speed off, Max goes insane with excitement at finally being able to meet his idol.

As the SUV speeds over a mountain trail, Birch points out a {{p|Skarmory}} perched on a rock to the group. Ash and friends admire it when they suddenly see an old man in a wagon pulled by a {{p|Camerupt}} straight in front of them. Birch freaks out and swerves the SUV, just missing the oblivious man and his Pokémon. As Ash and Brock recover from the ordeal, Birch embarrassingly remarks that everything is fine. Unknown to the group, Professor Oak is sleeping with a cowboy hat on hitching a ride on the back of the old man's wagon.

Meanwhile, May and Max admire the new {{pkmn2|starter}} trio Birch is taking care of at the lab. Birch's assistant, [[Joshua (assistant)|Joshua]], holds a {{p|Mudkip}} as May and Max pet the new {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Treecko}}. Joshua comments that it has been awhile since May got her Pokémon, and she happily remembers the incidents on the day she got {{TP|May|Torchic}}. May then comments that she has come a long way since then. Max cuts in, remarking that she still isn't very good with Pokémon, and it ends with May chasing her brother around the lab.

Max then bumps into someone and falls down. The man informs Max to be more careful and then lifts his hat to reveal himself as Oak. Max is in total shock as Oak greets him and his sister. He then proceeds to physically inspect Oak to make sure it's the real deal. When he's sure Oak is real, he then pulls out a bunch of snapshots of him and says he's been waiting to get his autograph. He quickly hands Oak the photos and the professor happily signs them. As he does, he asks Joshua where Ash and Brock are. Joshua explains that they accompanied Birch to pick Oak up from the harbor. Oak laughs and hands the photos back to a very jumpy Max.

Max then rushes back to Oak and asks if he brought along any Pokémon with him. Oak tells him to calm down and then reaches into his pack. He then calls out the three [[Kanto]] starters. Max happily inspects them. From the bushes, {{TRT}} is also watching the scene. They are enticed by the thought of having the six starter Pokémon, but {{MTR}} suggests that they give them to the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}} instead. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] wonder why and {{p|Meowth}} explains that with the starters, the boss will have a new sense of confidence in his team. The three then cheer with this new thought in mind.

Meanwhile, Max is busily inspecting the bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back. He tells Oak that it has such a healthy look to it and Oak comments that he tries his best. Max then begins to prod the bulb with his finger, and Oak warns him to stop. Suddenly, Bulbasaur turns around and {{m|tackle}}s Max away. May asks her brother if he's all right and he seems impressed with the strength of the Tackle. Max then goes over to the other two starters and begins to pull at their heads. The two become annoyed and {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Water Gun}} him in the face. The whole time Max seems to enjoy it.

Oak then laughs and remarks that if Max likes them so much then he can have the responsibility of looking after them today. Max doesn't believe it and Oak comments that if he is up to it he'll let him. Max salutes and says he'll do his best. May then says she'll try her best to help as well. Bulbasaur then holds its vine up to her which weirds her out at first. She then realizes it wants to shake hands and she shakes its vine. This makes her extremely happy and she starts to like Bulbasaur.

Suddenly, a large {{p|Skiploom}} [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]] rises above the trees. Before even saying their motto, Team Rocket launches a net and snags all six starter Pokémon. As the group yells to bring them back, the mecha begins to fly away. Oak tells Joshua to wait for Ash and his friends while the rest go and retrieve the Pokémon. Joshua nods and Oak and the siblings rush off. At the docks, Ash and his friends are dumbfounded at why Oak hasn't gotten off the ship. Birch calls up Joshua to find out he arrived but is now chasing after Team Rocket to retrieve the starter Pokémon. Birch says they'll get back as soon as possible.

Oak, May, and Max have come to a river and wonder where the Rockets have disappeared to. Oak thinks for a moment, and then notices a cave behind a nearby waterfall. The three decide to investigate. They notice a bunch of lights hung up inside and know something is up. Meanwhile, Joshua hands Max's pack to Ash and his friends and the SUV speeds off to find them. Oak and the kids slowly walk through the cave, unaware that a motion tracker has picked up on them. It causes a door to trap them inside. The three continue on as a camera watches them. Soon they come to the six starter Pokémon. They rush to reclaim them, but suddenly fall into a pitfall trap.

Annoyed, May tries to call out her Pokémon, but a large vacuum suddenly sucks them up. It turns out the vacuum was attached to James, and the three Rockets taunt their captives before rushing off. As they go, a large metal gate shuts on the hole. Outside, Birch steers the car through a large rocky canyon. Birch informs the others that they are perfectly safe, but they begin to disagree when Birch drives the SUV off a ledge. In the hole, May and the others await Ash and friends' arrival to save them.

Team Rocket is now celebrating their victory with a toast inside their Secret Base. A fountain is shooting water up behind them. They then watch the cameras to make sure their captives are still there. Oak seems to be very stiff and in a weird pose, but since the Team Rocket trio is quite scatterbrained, they just assume he's frozen with fear. It turns out that Max placed one of the photos in front of the camera, and the group is now climbing out of the hole. Max manages to get through one of the grates on the gate and Oak tells him to release the Pokémon to help get them out.

Max has Torchic and {{p|Charmander}} heat the cage with {{m|Ember}}, then he asks Mudkip and {{p|Squirtle}} to cool the bars with {{m|Water Gun}}, and then has Bulbasaur and Treecko use {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Pound}} to knock the bars away. Now free, the Pokémon leap onto Max and hugs him for helping them out. Outside, Ash and Brock wonder how they are ever going to find the others. Birch whistles and a {{p|Poochyena}} suddenly appears. He has it {{m|Odor Sleuth|smell}} Max's pack and it picks up the scent. The three then follow it down the canyon.

Inside the cave, the Pokémon have now helped May and Oak out of the hole. Oak thanks Max for his hard work and May thanks Bulbasaur for its help. Team Rocket is now stuffing their faces and acting drunk inside their base. May and the others notice her Poké Balls just inside. May wonders how they can get past the Rockets and Oak notices a {{p|Zubat}} sleeping on the ceiling. Oak has it use {{m|Supersonic}} to hurt Team Rocket's ears, and Bulbasaur then grabs the Poké Balls with {{m|Vine Whip}}.

May thanks Bulbasaur and the group rushes back to the entrance. When they get there, they find out it has been sealed. An alarm then sounds and Team Rocket checks the monitor to find the group at the entrance. Jessie checks the hole camera and wonders how Oak can be in two places at once. The photo then slips out of view and Jessie realizes they have been fooled. James then finds out the Poké Balls are gone and the three become enraged. Meowth presses a switch and a cage wall traps Oak and the others from going back the way they came. However, it turns out a {{p|Dugtrio}} is inside the cage as well. It [[Dig (move)|makes a hole]] and Oak tells the group to use it to escape.

The hole leads to an underground spring where Max notices a {{p|Gyarados}} sleeping with its head on a rock. Oak says they better be quiet so they don't wake it, and the group begins to tiptoe away. Team Rocket makes it to the cage to find that the group has dug out. James lifts the bars and they follow them down the hole. Meowth goes down first and finds Gyarados sleeping. He makes sure he's extremely quiet, but Jessie and James come down at the same time arguing at who should have gone first. This wakes the Gyarados up and the three receive a vicious {{m|Hydro Pump}}.

Ash, Brock, and Birch are now running along the river. Birch notices a sad {{p|Poliwrath}} and then a group of Zubat sleeping on a tree. He tells the others that Zubat rarely ever leave caves and something is weird. He then notices the waterfall and the group rushes to check it out. Oak and the others have now come across another steel door. Max sees the side has a small hole, but none of them are small enough to fit through. Max then decides to call through it hoping someone will hear.

As Ash and his friends inspect the door by the waterfall, Poochyena hears Max and rushes off. The others soon follow. They make it to the second door and call to Max. The group is now reunited, but they still have to find a way to get out. Oak inspects the door and tells Ash to have water Pokémon dampen the sides of the door and then have {{AP|Pikachu}} [[ThunderShock (move)|shock]] it. Brock calls out {{TP|Brock|Lombre|Ludicolo}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} who uses {{m|Water Gun}}, and then {{p|Pikachu}} shocks the door with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Oak then tells Max to pick which Pokémon he wants to use that knows Tackle. Max says that Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Mudkip knows Tackle. Oak picks Treecko to use Pound and May uses {{TP|May|Skitty}} to help. Max, May and Oak then order the Pokémon to use Tackle and Pound on the door, and they manage to smash it down.

Everyone cheers but they are suddenly interrupted by Team Rocket saying their motto on a loudspeaker. Oak and the others rush to Ash and his friends just as the Skiploom mecha bursts from the Secret Base's mountain roof. The mecha releases many hands to reclaim the Pokémon, but Pikachu manages to dodge one of them. Ash commands Pikachu to shock it with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but it's no use. Brock's Pokémon use their Water Guns, but still it does nothing. Team Rocket gloats at how great their mecha is.

Birch then explains to Ash how they can stop the mecha. He says that they all need to attack together. Max has Charmander and Torchic use Ember, Brock has his Pokémon use Water Gun, and Skitty uses {{m|Blizzard}}. The mecha then begins to crack and Pikachu blows it up with {{m|Thunder}} and sends Team Rocket sky high into the sunset. As they go, Oak says a haiku about {{p|Starmie}} relating to the scene. The next morning, Ash and his friends leave [[Littleroot Town]] Harbor on a ferry waving goodbye to the professors.

==Blurb==

As Ash prepares for his final Sinnoh region Gym Battle with a little training, his Monferno accidentally discovers a treasure chest buried in the forest! While struggling to open it, our heroes are approached by Team Rocket-in disguise, as usual. James remembers that he was the one who buried the treasure chest long ago! James and the rest of Team Rocket attempt to retrieve the chest, but to no avail.

Meanwhile, James recalls that the chest contains a letter proposing marriage to his would-be fiancée, Jessiebelle. James knows if that letter ever falls into her hands, the results would be disastrous! And our heroes, who still have possession of the chest, are wandering by one of James's vacation mansions when Sebastian, the butler, spies them. Excited at the thought that "Young Master James" must be close by, Sebastian invites our heroes in, while Jessie, disguised as Jessiebelle (along with a disguised James and Meowth), shows up to get the treasure chest back.

But when Sebastian discovers James is really there, he takes it upon himself to alert the real Jessiebelle, who arrives on the scene-all set to marry James! James sadly gives in and says goodbye to Team Rocket and our heroes. But, secretly, he asks Ash to have Pikachu use Thunderbolt and blast them off, away from Jessiebelle! To James's dismay, Jessie and Jessiebelle accidentally get switched, leaving James on the run from his crazed fiancée...with Meowth running along with him! And, tired of the nuptial nightmare, our heroes once again turn toward their upcoming challenges.

==Plot==
The episode begins with {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} having a battle while on their way to [[Daybreak Town]] for Dawn's next [[Pokémon Contest]]. When [[Ash's Monferno]] accidentally {{m|dig}}s up a buried treasure chest, they all try to break it open, but it is too well made. {{TRT}} sees them trying to break it open, and decide to steal the chest to get the treasure inside. They disguise themselves as the treasure chest gang, but they soon reveal themselves as Team Rocket, and Ash has {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}} which sends them blasting off. When they land, [[James]] remembers that he used to own the treasure chest, and buried it when he was a child, but he can't remember what he hid inside it. The team decides to retrieve the item again, imagining it contains some of James' allowance.

Ash and his friends are continuing their journey when suddenly Team Rocket shows up once more, and they try to tell Ash that the chest belonged to James. Ash and friends assume it is a lie, but {{an|Brock}} says that if it did belong to James, then he would know how to open it. James tries to open the chest, but he can't remember how. He tries different passwords, and when he tries for the third time, the chests looks like it is opening, but it's really the security system. James tells them to run, and a cannon comes out of the lid and sends Team Rocket blasting off. When they land, James suddenly remembers what was inside the chest, but he won't tell [[Jessie]] or {{MTR}}. He becomes determined to stop anyone from finding out what is inside the chest.

Meanwhile, Ash and his friends are admiring a huge, impressive-looking mansion, when suddenly the gates open and a butler comes running out of the building to take the chest, which he says belongs to master James. He proves it is James' by showing the gang a picture on the bottom of the chest which James did of his Pokémon [[Growlie]] when he was a little boy. The butler gets very emotional at the thought of James returning, and starts to look for him in the bushes and trees. Ash and Brock tell Dawn that James came from a very rich family, and that the huge mansion was probably one of his family's summer estates.

James and the rest of Team Rocket are watching, and James is scared that if Sebastian (the butler) sees him, he will call his parents and his fiancée, [[Jessebelle]], whose controlling personality was the reason he ran away from home and joined Team Rocket. James comes up with a plan to retrieve the chest without being recognized by Sebastian.

Ash, Dawn and Brock are inside the mansion, and Dawn wonders why James joined Team Rocket at the first place. Brock says that maybe James was looking for his freedom. Sebastian offers a meal to Ash and his friends as a thank you for finding master James's treasure chest, and while the gang are tucking in, Sebastian asks them where they found the chest. Before they can answer, the doorbell rings. It is Jessie, disguised as Jessebelle, and Meowth and James disguised as her servants. Jessie says that she has just come to pick up the treasure chest for James, who had returned and was marrying her after all. Sebastian begins to cry with happiness, and Meowth orders Ash to fetch the chest. Everything is going well for James, but then suddenly his old Pokémon Growlie wanders out, and recognizes James even through his disguise. Growlie jumps onto James to say hello, and knocks the disguise off. Even though James is scared that has been found out, he is pleased to see his old Pokémon again. Sebastian is overjoyed to see James, but he quickly sends out a {{p|Spinarak}} which he tells to use {{m|String Shot}} on James so he can be handed over to his parents and marry Jessebelle. James sends out his {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} which uses {{m|Teeter Dance}}, which allows James to send Sebastian and Spinarak down a hidden trap door into a dungeon. James takes the chest from Ash, and when asked by Dawn and Jessie, he tells them what is inside the chest.

James tells them about how, when he was very little, he was tired of all the formal balls his parents hosted, and on the night of one of these parties he met Jessebelle on a balcony. He fell in love with her right away, even though he only knew her name. He didn't realize the meeting had been planned by his parents. That night he wrote a love letter to Jessebelle, asking her to marry him. He thought how embarrassing it would be if anyone other than her read the note, and just then his parents, who had been listening to him, handed him the treasure chest, which was handmade by his father. They also told him that he would be going to Jessebelle's house the next night, and he should tell her how he feels. The next night, before James got a chance to ask Jessebelle to marry him, she said yes, and that it has already been arranged by their parents. She demanded that he gets a {{p|Skitty}} to replace his {{p|Growlithe}}, but James refused to part with his best friend, and ran out of the house. He told Growlie to use Dig, and buried the chest so no one will find it.

The flash-back ends, and James says that if Jessebelle was to find the letter, she would see it as a marriage certificate, and he would have to spend the rest of his life with her. Suddenly, the security systems go off; it is Jessebelle, and she is making her way to the mansion along with hundreds of guards. The guards surround the building, so James can't escape. James realizes Sebastian must have called her. James says that he has a secret passageway they can escape through. At the same time, Jessebelle enters the mansion, where she is greeted by Sebastian, who jumps up through the floor. He leads her to the secret passageway, where Ash, Dawn, Brock, Jessie, James and Meowth are all running from her. James tells everyone to hurry up, and Dawn says that she can't see what any of it has to do with them. James reminds them that none of it would have happened if Ash hadn't dug the chest up in the first place, so they should help him escape. They see Jessebelle and Sebastian running close behind them, and quickly get to the end of the tunnel, trapping Jessebelle and Sebastian inside. Ash and Brock tell James to run while he has the chance, but James says that he has to dispose of the letter first, and he unsuccessfully tries to guess the password again. This time the chest transforms into a huge and scary looking robot, but really it is only a foot tall. It shoots at Team Rocket, but Growlie uses {{m|Flamethrower}} and stops the laser. James gets Growlie to attack the chest, and once Growlie has used Flamethrower, Dig, then one last Flamethrower, the robot turns back into a chest, which then turns into a tiny rocket and flies away.

Inside the tunnel, Jessebelle gets her {{p|Vileplume}} to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, which breaks down the door. Jessebelle tells James that all the arrangements for the wedding have been made, and James says that he gives up, and just wants to say goodbye to his friends before he goes to get married, but James asks Ash to use Thunderbolt. Ash agrees, and Pikachu sends Team Rocket blasting off. James is happy to have escaped, but suddenly realizes that it is not Jessie who has blasted off with them, but rather Jessebelle. Jessie lands on her own, surrounded by Jessebelle's guards, who mistake her for Jessebelle.

The episode ends with Ash and his friends making their way to the next city, while the scene changes to James and Meowth being chased by Jessebelle.

==Major events==

==Trivia==
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]]: {{p|Snorunt}}
* This episode marks one of the very few times when Team Rocket intends to be blasted off.
** This is also one of the few episodes where Team Rocket blasts off three times. In the last of them, James and Meowth blast off with Jessebelle instead of Jessie.
* This is [[Growlie]]'s first appearance since its [[EP048|debut]]. The same can be said about [[James's parents]], though they only appear in flashback.
* While {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} normally hates accepting food from strangers, he is seen happily eating when Sebastian serves the group refreshments.
* There were 571 episodes between Jessebelle's first appearance and this one, which to this date is the longest time between a particular human character's first and second physical appearances within the show (while she did appear in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', it was only in one of James's flashbacks).
** This also marks the longest time that has taken place between two appearances of a Pokémon belonging to a main character, which is the same 571 episodes.
* Music from ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' is used in this episode.
* The English title of this episode is a reference to the phrase "the pleasure is all mine".
* In the dub, Jessebelle ended the episode saying the same line she ended with in ''[[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]]'', "You're not running properly!"
* The preview of this episode was narrated by Team Rocket.
* Meowth wears glasses that are the same as how [[Ash's Squirtle]] wore them.
* [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] doesn't appear in this episode.

===Errors===
* In [[James]]'s mansion, the trio is sitting on couches discussing how James got into Team Rocket. In the first "clip," the wall behind Brock has a drawer up against it. In the next "clip," (at a different angle) the pattern on the wall has changed, and the drawer is gone.
* Jessebelle's name is misspelled as ''Jessiebelle'' in the pokémon.com blurb for this episode.

==Blurb==

Ash is on his way to Nacrene City, where his next Gym Battle awaits. Before he gets there, he decides to stop by the Pokémon Battle Club in Luxuria Town for a warm-up battle. He’s surprised to find his Unova region rival, Trip, is there, too! Ash challenges Trip to a battle, and although he’s reluctant at first, Trip eventually agrees to a five-on-five battle. The battle starts out with Trip’s Tranquill making quick work of Ash’s Oshawott and Tepig.

Meanwhile, at the Dreamyard, Team Rocket is surrounded by Officer Jenny’s police force! Unfazed, they stand their ground until a new agent named Pierce comes to their rescue, and they all glide safely out of sight.

Back at the Battle Club, Ash finally defeats Tranquill using Pikachu, and Trip sends out his Servine—who evolved from the Snivy Ash battled on his first day in the Unova region! When Pikachu is defeated, Ash counters with his Snivy. Snivy manages to defeat Trip’s Servine with its powerful Attract move, and Trip next chooses his Frillish. Ash then switches to his Pidove to let Snivy rest, but the strategy doesn’t work—Frillish quickly takes Pidove down. Ash brings Snivy out one more time, but when Frillish defeats Snivy as well, Trip is declared the winner. Instead of being angry, Ash redoubles his efforts and vows to train harder than ever for the next time he and Trip have a battle!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} is very excited about battling, and having reached [[Luxuria Town]], he decides to head straight for the Pokémon [[Battle Club]]. He enters the building, and immediately starts searching for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} catch up, panting and breathing heavily. Iris then sarcastically comments on Ash's reaction to the Battle Club, telling him that he behaves like a small child. Ash, unaware, searches through the database of Trainers, and manages to find one that interests him - [[Trip]].

Iris, having never met Trip before, gives a doubtful look, while Cilan exclaims in surprise. Cilan explains that Trip had once been to his [[Gym]] in [[Striaton City]], and was awarded the {{Badge|Trio}}. Iris becomes even more puzzled, and Ash explains that Trip was the Trainer he met in [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab and the one whom he first battled in [[Unova]].

Ash shouts in excitement when [[Don George]] suddenly appears behind him, seemingly unable to remember Ash. Ash wonders if he is from [[Accumula Town]], and soon learns that there are Battle Clubs located everywhere in Unova, each club is run by a Don George of an identical, extended family. Don George then shows them his family picture: the Don George in Accumula Town stands at the back row, while he himself is in a half-squat position in the front row, all surrounded by similar looking Don Georges in different poses. Don George then activates the built-in [[Xtransceiver]] in the Trainer-searching machine and tries to contact Trip.

Trip is taking pictures when his Xtransceiver rings. He attends to it, and Don George greets him, informing him that Ash requests a battle with him. Ash appears soon after and subsequently Iris and Cilan, who both introduce themselves. While Trip is surprised that Cilan is not at his Gym, Ash interrupts and displays his excitement for the battle. Trip, however, does not seem very interested and goes on to explain how his {{TP|Trip|Snivy}} easily defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Ash rebukes, saying that it was due to {{p|Zekrom}} that Pikachu was unable to use electric attacks (Cilan became particularly interested at this and Iris tells him the story at the back), and now Pikachu is not his only Pokémon - he had obtained other Pokémon as well. (His agitation caused him to kick the machine.)

Trip then appears at the entrance of the Battle Club, requesting a [[Full Battle]]. Ash paused for a moment, and tells him that he has only five Pokémon. Trip looks at him in disbelief, and while he appeared to be considering, Ash takes out his {{Badge|Trio}} and shows it to him. Trip grins for a moment, then tells him that he has obtained two Badges. He then goes on to apologize to Don George, saying that he will not battle a Trainer with only one Badge and five Pokémon. Following that, he taunts Ash and wonders if all Trainers 'from a countryside area like [[Kanto]]' behave like the way he did. As he taunts him even further, he finally prepares to leave. However, after Iris passes a sarcastic remark calling him a 'kid', and Cilan recites a short prose on his battle expectations, Trip changes his mind and declares that he wants to battle Ash, 5-on-5.

Don George stands in the center-side of the field, reciting the rules of the battle while Ash and Trip stand across each other, ready to battle. As Don George waves his hands and declares the battle open, Trip sends out {{p|Tranquill}}, the evolved form of {{p|Pidove}}. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]], then sends out {{AP|Oshawott}}. Proudly announcing that Oshawott once belonged to [[Professor Juniper]] and helped him win his {{Badge|Trio}} at the Striaton Gym, Ash starts the battle by telling Oshawott to use {{m|Water Gun}}. A jet of water was shot into the air, but Tranquill turns abruptly and dodges it. Under the command of its Trainer, it moves lower to the ground and uses {{m|Aerial Ace}} - first striking the Sea Otter Pokémon from the front and knocking off his [[Scalchop and seamitar|scalchop]], then finally returning from the back and hitting it, causing it to faint. Don George, being the referee, declares that Oshawott is unable to battle.

Ash was left awestruck, unable to comprehend what had happened as Trip tells Ash that Tranquill has the Ability {{a|Super Luck}}, allowing Tranquill to more easily land [[critical hit]]s. Ash recalls Oshawott, then sends out {{AP|Tepig}}. As Trip tries to taunt Ash, Ash starts the round again by telling Tepig to use {{m|Ember}}. As red flames shot out from Tepig's snout, Tranquill dodges it again and sweeps past Tepig, clearly displaying its skill and speed. As Tepig continues firing into the sky, Tranquill continues dodging, until it breaks apart into a flock - Trip had told it to use {{m|Double Team}}. Tepig stares blankly at Tranquill when Ash calls out to him - Tranquill is now using {{m|Work Up}}, increasing its attack power; it glows a bright red and turns around, facing Tepig and readying its next attack. Once again, Trip tells it to use Aerial Ace, and Tepig stares at the flock, unable to determine which one is real.

Quickly, the flock of Tranquill combines into one, it glows red again and flies low into the ground, straight at Tepig. With a bang, a repeat of what had happened previously to Oshawott had taken place: the Pigeon Pokémon had struck Tepig from the front and back, and Tepig now lay sprawled on the ground, fainted. Don George declares Tepig as unable to battle.

As Ash recalls Tepig thanking him for his hard work, Trip taunts him for not knowing his basics as a Trainer. Ash, feeling slightly angered and knowing he's falling behind quickly, now decides to send Pikachu into battle for the next round.

Meanwhile, the {{TRT}}, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, are gathered in the center of a garbage dump in anticipation of a person's arrival. [[Officer Jenny]] suddenly shows up, her fellow policemen having surrounded them and climbing over the garbage. Apparently the Jenny at Striaton City had informed all the other Jennys about them, and the trio is now wanted in Unova for their capture. Nevertheless, Team Rocket remain calm and composed.

Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, however Tranquill is able to dodge. Trip notes his surprise that Pikachu is actually able to use Electric-type attacks and has Tranquill use Work Up again. The {{t|Flying}} Pokémon glows red again and attacks Pikachu from the front and then the back with its Aerial Ace. Pikachu lies on the ground, but he picks himself up. Trip is then determined to repeat what Tranquill had done to Oshawott and Tepig. He commands Tranquill to once again, use Aerial Ace. Ash, spotting his attack pattern, asks Pikachu to grab hold of Tranquill's feet. Pikachu takes the hit, but grabs onto Tranquill's feet as it flies by and sends it (as well as himself) crashing into the ground. Ash then tells Pikachu to toss Tranquill, and Pikachu responds and swings Tranquill into the air and out of control. Ash then commands a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Pikachu immediately powers up and heads straight to Tranquill. Trip screams for Tranquill to dodge, but it's too late and Pikachu scores a direct hit. Both land, and Tranquill is left knocked out and unable to battle allowing Pikachu to win the round.

Iris, {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and Cilan watches from afar and cheers on Ash. While Ash is savoring his victory, telling how different Pikachu was from the battle at [[Nuvema Town]], Trip sends out his next Pokémon, {{TP|Trip|Servine}}. Ash and Pikachu look at Servine in surprise. As Ash recalls the match in Nuvema Town with Trip's Snivy, Cilan tells Iris how Trip had obtained the {{Badge|Trio}} with his Servine by defeating [[Chili]] and his {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}.

Meanwhile, Officer Jenny and her policemen are advancing on Team Rocket, ready to arrest them should they decide to escape. Suddenly, a rushing truck barges into the dump and causes the surrounding policemen to flee from the dangerous vehicle. The truck drifts, swerves and skids to a halt beside Team Rocket. As the door opens ready to pick the trio up, the driver is now revealed: the agent which {{an|Giovanni}} had arranged for them to meet.

As fast as they could, they got into the vehicle and Officer Jenny's crew followed on motorcycles and police cars; a chase had begun. Officer Jenny drove forward, and the two vehicles are now neck to neck. Officer Jenny demanded them to stop the truck but the truck suddenly picked up speed - it was driving on a half-constructed road where it abruptly ended in mid-air. The truck still pushed on: it drove past the point where there was any road at all and was toppling down into the ground below. Right before the truck could overturn any further, the top hatch opened. As Officer Jenny banks her motorcycle and skids to a halt, she watches the explosion from the truck below, and the Team Rocket trio whom escaped from her flee into the sky with the mysterious Team Rocket agent.

Having escaped Officer Jenny, the agent now hands over a briefcase to James. As he prepares to leave, he tells them his name: [[Pierce]]. He then escapes into the clouds, while the trio now make their way towards the [[Desert Resort]] through the sky, knowing they now have a new ally in [[Unova]].

Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}} against Servine, and Pikachu powers Iron Tail up. Trip tells Servine to counter with {{m|Cut}}, and Servine speeds along the ground and successfully blocks Iron Tail using the attack. Trip then tells Servine to use {{m|Leaf Tornado}}. The Grass Snake Pokémon whips up a tornado of leaves and grass and hurls it at Pikachu, drawing him into the vortex. As the tornado lands, it smashes Pikachu onto the ground and causes him to lie flat on its belly. Dazed, Pikachu gets up, and Ash tells him to use Volt Tackle. Responding to his Trainer, he gets up, charges itself with electricity and attempts to tackle Servine. However, just as Pikachu was about to hit, Servine side-steps and scores a direct-hit against Pikachu with Cut, taking him out of the battle.

As Trip remarks that he has four Pokémon as compared to Ash's two, Ash sends out his {{AP|Snivy}}. Iris then wonders why Ash does not send out {{AP|Pidove}}, which is a {{type|Flying}} and would be an advantage against {{t|Grass}} types, while Cilan reassures her that Ash has plans of his own.

Snivy starts the round by using {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Servine dodges them completely. She then attempts to use {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but misses and Servine follows up with a Leaf Tornado. The tornado, like it did on Pikachu, draws her into the vortex then slams her onto the ground. Being a {{type|Grass}}, the attack does not cause Snivy too much damage and she gets back on her feet almost immediately. Trip taunts Ash that his Servine is an evolved form of Snivy. Ash, however, does not take the bait but actually has a plan. First, he asked Snivy to use Vine Whip, and Servine, once again, dodges it easily like it had before. Next, while Servine is distracted by her Vine Whip, Ash tells Snivy to use {{m|Attract}}. Snivy fires the attack, and luckily, as Servine is male, he becomes infatuated with Snivy, and he is thus unable to attack. Eventually with a series of Vine Whips and a well-aimed Leaf Blade, Servine succumbs to Snivy's attacks and fainted, leaving Trip with three Pokémon.

As Ash celebrates, Pikachu jumps with joy and Snivy gives a wide smile. Trip recalls Servine and while admitting he did not expect the move Attract, Ash recalls his Snivy. For the next round, Trip sends out his third Pokémon: a {{p|Frillish}}. Ash checks his Pokédex, then sends out Pidove.

Pidove begins by using {{m|Air Cutter}}, only for it to be blocked by Frillish's {{m|Protect}}. Trip tells Frillish to use {{m|Water Pulse}}, and the Floating Pokémon shot a ball of water at Pidove, causing her to be trapped in the sphere. As the Baby Pigeon Pokémon struggles to breathe, the sphere of water suddenly starts to vibrate before exploding, sending her flying towards a window and causing her to faint. Don George then declares Pidove unable to battle. Ash is now left with Snivy.

As Ash sends out Snivy and tells her to use Vine Whip, Cilan gasps loudly and Iris shouts out immediately in protest. Ash was elated that he managed to hit Frillish, but he became shocked the moment he saw Snivy: she seemed to have taken a curse of some sort and was emitting a dark bluish-purple aura. Trip then talks about Frillish's {{a|Cursed Body}} Ability which can cause any physical attacks used against Frillish to become disabled, and Iris who wrongfully lambasts Ash for being ignorant and acting like a small child despite seeing the Ability for the first time.

Snivy attacks again with {{m|Leaf Storm}}, but Frillish blocks it with Protect, followed by a {{m|Night Shade}}: the partial {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon glows purple for a moment, and blasts purple waves at Snivy, causing her to lose balance and fall to the ground on her knees. As Frillish celebrates its achievement, Snivy uses Leaf Storm and catches Frillish by surprise. Immediately, Snivy attempts to use Attract, but fails as Frillish evades it, jumping away at the time when the Attract is supposed to hit its target. Cilan notes that only a Pokémon with such a high speed like Frillish would be able to dodge the Attract.

Ash decides to take a risk and tells Snivy to use Leaf Blade on Frillish. Snivy lands the attack, but unfortunately it isn't enough to take Frillish out and even worse, Snivy is hit with Cursed Body again which blocks Leaf Blade. Trip commands Frillish to use Water Pulse again: Frillish creates a ball of water to form and shoots it at Snivy who became trapped inside. As the globe of water exploded, Snivy was flung out onto the field, {{status|confusion|confused}}.

Trip now takes advantage of the situation, telling Frillish to use {{m|Hex}}. As Snivy was already {{status|confusion|confused}}, the attack did more damage. Snivy's eyes glowed eerily before she could not take it anymore, and fainted. Don George then declared Snivy unable to battle, and subsequently Trip the winner of the match. Ash recalled Snivy.

At the end of the battle, Trip taunts Ash for being a poor Trainer and tells him that while Pikachu and Snivy show promise, the others were pathetic and Ash should reconsider using them in future. As Trip was about to take his leave, Ash challenges him to another battle in the future, to which Trip promises to consider. As the door closes behind him, Iris and Cilan try to console Ash. However, Ash was not at all disappointed, but determined to surpass Trip and to become the best Trainer that ever was.

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends continue toward Castelia City and Ash’s third Unova region Gym Battle. On the way, the Egg that our hero has been carrying finally hatches into...a Scraggy! Everyone wants to greet the newly hatched Pokémon, but the feisty Scraggy decides to say hello with a Headbutt instead!

Scraggy seems to be a loner, choosing to eat by itself rather than join the group for dinner. That night, our heroes wake up to discover that Scraggy has wandered off. They finally find it practicing its Headbutt against a tree where a group of menacing Galvantula live! Scraggy shows great courage and tries to stand up to them despite being outnumbered. That’s when Ash and his friends come to the rescue: Pikachu’s powerful Thunderbolt sends the Galvantula back into their tree, but not before Scraggy takes a paralyzing hit from one of its angry opponents.

Iris whips up some herbal medicine for Scraggy, and after a good night’s sleep, the Pokémon starts to feel better. Scraggy finally calms down enough to settle into its new Poké Ball, becoming the newest member of Ash’s family!

Meanwhile, Team Rocket—Jessie, James, Meowth, and the new agent Pierce—have brought the stolen Meteonite to a researcher named Dr. Zager, who examines it and determines that it’s the real thing. It’s off to begin the second part of their evil plan...

==Plot==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and their Pokémon taking a break on the way to [[Castelia City]]. Ash is looking at his Badges in his Badge case and admiring his newly won {{badge|Basic}}, and musing to {{AP|Pikachu}} that he only has six left to earn. {{TP|Iris|Axew}} wanders over to where their [[bag|backpacks]] are all piled on the ground, and is looking at Ash's Egg, when it suddenly begins to shake and glow! Axew is so startled that he falls over backwards, and then excitedly draws everyone's attention to the Egg, and everyone gathers around to watch the Egg hatch. Cilan mentions that the glowing means that it will hatch soon and Ash wonders what kind of Pokémon will hatch from the Egg.

Iris mentions to Axew that this is the first time that he has seen an {{pkmn|Egg}} hatch, and Cilan agrees that everyone is looking forward to it. Then Iris tells Axew that he is going to be a big brother, which makes Axew even more excited, so much so that he accidentally trips, and sends the Egg rolling down the hill! Everyone chases after the Egg, trying to catch it before it crashes into a sharp rock at the bottom of the hill. Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Quick Attack}} in order to catch the Egg, as it goes flying into the air, and he manages to catch the Egg just in time. Ash asks Pikachu if he and the Egg are okay, and Pikachu responds in the affirmative. Iris and Axew apologize to Ash, and Ash tells them not to worry about it, as everything turned out okay. Then the Egg begins to glow again, and finally hatches into {{AP|Scraggy}}! Cilan mentions that it is a Scraggy, and Ash scans it with his [[Pokédex]]. Ash and Pikachu introduce themselves to their new friend, to which Scraggy responds with a {{m|Leer}} attack. Then Scraggy tries to {{m|Headbutt}} Pikachu, which Pikachu dodges. Everyone wonders about Scraggy's aggressive nature. Ash suggests that if Scraggy truly wants to battle that much, then he and Pikachu will battle as a way of introducing themselves.

Ash then uses his Pokédex to find out what moves Scraggy knows, finding out that it only knows Leer and Headbutt. When Iris reacts with surprise, Ash reminds her that Axew only knows {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}}. Cilan points out that Scraggy did just hatch from an Egg after all, to which Ash agrees. Ash then calls for a Leer attack from Scraggy, which Cilan notes has little effect. Then Ash calls for a Headbutt attack, which also has surprisingly little effect. Finally, Ash calls for a {{m|Thunderbolt}} counterattack from Pikachu, but a weakened one, which totally knocks Scraggy back. Ash asks Scraggy if it is okay, and it gets up, still ready for battle. Cilan is surprised that it can still go on, but Ash notes that with the fighting spirit that Scraggy has, it was born to battle. Iris comments to Axew that he has a troublesome baby brother, to which Axew agrees.

Ash then calls out his other Pokémon in order to meet their new friend. They all respond in a positive way, starting with {{AP|Pidove|Tranquill}}. However, Scraggy continues to respond aggressively, headbutting Pidove, which shocks her. {{AP|Oshawott}} is next, but again, gets a headbutt from Scraggy, which results in Oshawott getting so angry that Pikachu and {{AP|Tepig}} have to pull Oshawott off of Scraggy to separate them and prevent them from fighting. Then Scraggy responds with headbutting Oshawott, separating him from his shell, and stepping on it so that he cannot get it back. Oshawott yanks his shell back, and smacks Scraggy over the head with it, to which Ash asks if Scraggy is okay. Oshawott responds with a {{m|Water Gun}} attack, to which Scraggy defends itself by pulling up its "pants" to block it. Ash notes that is how Scraggy defends itself. Scraggy then headbutts Tepig, and Ash says that Scraggy takes on everybody, and Cilan notes that it has little effect. Then Scraggy appears dizzy from too many headbutts, which makes Iris and Axew laugh. Then Scraggy tries to headbutt {{AP|Snivy}}, who is sitting on a rock, but Snivy easily dodges, and Scraggy hits the rock instead. He then shakes off being dizzy again, and tries to headbutt Snivy again, to which Snivy responds by using her {{m|Vine Whip}}s to hold Scraggy at bay, until he trips and falls on his face. Ash then asks Scraggy if that is enough for now, to which Scraggy responds by headbutting Ash.

The scene then switches to {{TRT}}. [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} are speaking with [[Pierce]] via a laptop from a secret location. Pierce asks them if they have the [[Meteonite]] in question, to which Meowth responds in the affirmative. Pierce gives them their next rendezvous location, a building on the other side of town, and tells them not to be late. James remarks that they do not have long until the rendezvous, and Jessie says they should go.

The scene then switches back to Ash and {{ashfr}}. It is now early evening, and the gang and their Pokémon are gathered around eating dinner. Ash invites Scraggy to come and eat dinner with the rest of them, but Scraggy refuses. Iris observes that it is hard to know what Scraggy is thinking, and Cilan posits that it might be upset that it lost to Ash's other Pokémon. Ash asks Scraggy if that is true.

We then check in briefly with Team Rocket. Meowth confirms that they have reached the rendezvous point, and James says that they should go.

The scene then switches back to Ash and company. Scraggy comes out from hiding, and Ash is excited that he finally is eating his [[Pokémon food]]. Iris comments that he should become more docile and learn to eat with everyone else. Then Ash says that it is time for Scraggy to go into a [[Poké Ball]], which upsets Scraggy again. Cilan observes that since it just hatched, it might want to stay in the outside world for a little longer. Later on, everyone is asleep. Axew sleepily pokes his head out of the sleeping bag that he and Iris are sharing, and notices Scraggy sitting on a rock, looking at the moon and stars. When Scraggy notices Axew, he quickly goes back inside the sleeping bag. When he pokes his head out again a second later, Axew notices that Scraggy is gone! Axew jumps out of the sleeping bag and looks around for Scraggy, then wakes up Iris, who wakes up Ash, Pikachu and Cilan. The gang then go looking for Scraggy, calling out and trying to find him. Axew then notices Scraggy's footprints on the ground leading to a tree off in the distance, and points this out to the rest of the group. When the group arrive at the tree, they find Scraggy. Ash asks Scraggy what he is doing in a place like this, but before Scraggy can respond, a wild {{p|Galvantula}} appears! Iris identifies it, and a very scared Axew dives into her hair to hide. Then Ash looks up Galvantula on his Pokédex. Iris and Cilan both agree that this is bad, and Ash and Pikachu jump into action to save Scraggy!

Scraggy is paralyzed with fear at first, but then tries a Headbutt attack. Everyone is shocked that Scraggy would make such a reckless move, and before the attack can land, Scraggy is hit by Galvantula's {{m|Electro Ball}} attack! Then Galvantula launches an {{m|Electroweb}} attack, and follows up with a {{m|Pin Missile}} attack, both of which hit for massive damage and send Scraggy flying backwards! Ash catches Scraggy, and when he sees that Galvantula is charging up another Electro Ball attack, he orders a Thunderbolt attack from Pikachu, which hits Galvantula, and drives it back into hiding in the tree. Ash asks if Scraggy is all right, and Cilan observes that it did suffer direct hits from Galvantula's attacks. Scraggy attempts to stand up and walk, but it is far too weak, and it is paralyzed. Ash asks Cilan if there is a [[Pokémon Center]] nearby, but Cilan responds in the negative. Iris says to leave this to her, and she and Axew jump into the bushes to look for medicinal plants to heal Scraggy. Axew finds one of the plants that they were looking for, and Iris congratulates him on a good find, and says that they should look for plants that recover health next. Back at camp, Iris mixes up the medicine for Scraggy, and Ash feeds it to him, but it does not taste very good. Iris prescribes a good night's rest, and Ash tells it to take a nice rest.

We then check back in with Team Rocket. A helicopter is approaching in the distance, and it is signaled in for a landing by James. The trio quickly board the helicopter, which then takes off again. Inside, the trio is met by Pierce, who explains that the helicopter is Team Rocket's mobile laboratory. He then introduces [[Dr. Zager]]. Dr. Zager then says that he wants the Meteonite that the trio stole from the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}}. James hands it over, and Dr. Zager says that he will begin his analysis immediately. A machine begins analyzing the Meteonite with a green laser. Dr. Zager says that there is no doubt, that the material that the Meteonite is made of is not found on Earth. The laser then changes to a red color, and the Meteonite begins to glow a bright purple color! Dr. Zager remarks excitedly that this is exactly the reaction he had been hoping for! The laser then turns off, and the glowing stops. Dr. Zager orders them to hurry, saying he needs to analyze the Meteonite further. Then Pierce says that they should head to the location of their next operation, to which the trio responds in the affirmative, and the helicopter flies off into the distance.

The next morning, Scraggy awakens, surrounded by Ash and friends. Ash asks if Scraggy is feeling okay, to which it responds in the affirmative, which relieves Ash. Iris is glad to see that it has recovered, and Cilan asks Scraggy if it can remember what happened yesterday. Scraggy remembers, and then Ash says that Iris found medicinal plants to help him, and Iris says that Axew helped too. When Ash says that Scraggy needs to be grateful to everyone, it jumps up and stomps off! Ash asks where Scraggy is going, and Axew follows it. Scraggy stomps up to the tree where the Galvantula was the night before, and begins to headbutt it. This time, a whole colony of Galvantula are awakened! When Axew sees this, he is alarmed, and goes back to get the others. Back at camp, Axew tells the others what has happened. Ash calls out the rest of his Pokémon, and tells them they must go and save Scraggy!

The Galvantula surround Scraggy, and he looks on defiantly. Suddenly, just as the Galvantula are about to attack, a Thunderbolt attack hits one of them! It is Ash and all of his friends, here to save the day! Ash orders all of his Pokémon to protect Scraggy. Pidove uses her {{m|Air Cutter}} attack to counter an Electroweb attack from one of the Galvantula. Tepig uses his {{m|Ember}} attack to counter an Electro Ball attack from another Galvantula. Oshawott uses his {{m|Razor Shell}} attack to counter the Electroweb from yet another Galvantula. Then Snivy uses her {{m|Vine Whip}}s to yank Oshawott out of harm's way of a Galvantula that was about to land on him. She then uses her {{m|Leaf Storm}} attack on the same Galvantula. Then Pikachu uses Thunderbolt on all of the Galvantula, driving them back into hiding in the tree. Ash asks if Scraggy is all right, to which it responds in the affirmative. Ash thanks all of his Pokémon for all of their hard work, then he warns Scraggy not to go under that tree anymore. Cilan proposes that maybe Scraggy was trying to take revenge. Iris says she is glad Scraggy is safe. Then Ash says that they should all eat breakfast together.

Back at camp, everyone is eating breakfast together, when Axew tries to bring his food over and eat with Scraggy. Scraggy turns his back on Axew, and they start glaring at each other. Ash and Iris tell them not to fight. Then Cilan suggests that Scraggy might be the perfect partner for Axew's battle practice, which surprises everyone. Ash says that sounds like a good idea, and Iris asks if Axew would be interested, and he responds in the affirmative. Iris notes that they both look fired up, and Ash says that they should start.

Iris encourages Axew to do his best, and Ash encourages Scraggy not to lose. Then Cilan, acting as referee, says to start the battle. Ash calls for a Leer attack to start things off, which is successful. Then Ash orders Scraggy to use Headbutt, which is also effective. Iris orders Axew to counterattack with Scratch, which is a hit. Iris congratulates Axew, then orders him to use Scratch repeatedly, which are all hits. Ash yells to Scraggy not to give up, and orders a Headbutt attack, which sends Axew flying backwards. Iris yells to Axew not to give up, and calls for a Dragon Rage attack. While Axew is charging up Dragon Rage, Ash calls for another Headbutt attack from Scraggy. Just as Axew is ready to fire, Scraggy collides with Axew and a huge explosion ensues. When the smoke clears, both Axew and Scraggy unable to battle. Iris remarks that Dragon Rage failed again. Cilan suggests that they call it a draw for today. Ash agrees, then offers to Scraggy to become stronger together, to which Scraggy agrees. Then Iris says the same thing to Axew, who also agrees. Cilan remarks that means that both Pokémon are worth raising, and that he is looking forward to them maturing. Then Ash says that Scraggy should take a long rest, and catches him in a Poké Ball.

==Blurb==

After being struck by lightning, Pikachu is having trouble using its Electric-type attacks...but a second strange thunderstorm heals the Pokémon just as quickly! Attributing the ordeal to the Legendary Pokémon Zekrom, Professors Oak and Juniper agree that further research is needed.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has arrived in the Unova region, and prepares to launch an operation designed to steal both Zekrom and Pikachu! Ash is eager to start his new journey, and armed with a new Pokédex and new Poké Balls, our hero sets out to meet as many Unova Pokémon as he can. While trying to catch a Pidove, Ash runs into a girl named Iris and her Pokémon Axew. It doesn't take long for Team Rocket to launch a plot to steal Pikachu, Pidove, and Axew, too! Of course, Ash springs into action, battling his old enemies Jessie, James and Meowth. He gets some help from an unexpected source: Oshawott, who has been following Ash and Pikachu since they left Professor Juniper's lab. Before long, all the Pokémon are safely returned, while Team Rocket mysteriously vanishes.

The group visits the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy restores Pikachu, Axew, and Pidove to perfect health. Iris admits that although Ash acts "like a kid," she is impressed with the way he sprang into action when saving their three Pokémon. And Ash wonders out loud why Oshawott helped them out the way it did...

==Plot==
After arriving in [[Unova]], having being struck by blue lightning from a thundercloud and losing to [[Trip's Snivy]], {{AP|Pikachu}} is now in [[Professor Juniper]]'s lab, and is being excessively charged by electricity. {{p|Oshawott}} watches from outside the room, while the two Professors, {{an|Professor Oak}} and Professor Juniper attempt to restore power to the lab's electronics. Meanwhile, a large blue lightning bolt continuously rains downwards, and the silhouette of the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}} is seen hiding within the clouds. Its wings glow bright blue and with a burst of energy, it flies up towards the sky.

Pikachu falls to all fours, screaming in pain. {{Ash}}, in an attempt to calm him down, immediately grabs Pikachu and is shocked by the electricity. Immediately, the blue lightning and the black clouds disappears suddenly and the sky is calm once again. Ash falls back onto the floor, and [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] rushes to his side. Pikachu lies on the floor on his stomach, cheeks emitting sparks. The electronic systems in the lab then mysteriously regain power.

Mrs. Ketchum, followed by Oshawott who walks up to Ash, both express their concern over him. Ash reassures them and gets up immediately, worried about Pikachu. The {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon gets up, smiles and then charges his tail with electricity, showing Ash he has recovered. In order to test out Pikachu's electricity further, Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Volt Tackle}} on him. After Ash was given a decent shock from Pikachu, he comes to the conclusion that Pikachu is back to normal, before collapsing due to exhaustion.

Later that night, while having dinner together with Pikachu, his mother, and {{an|Professor Oak}}, Ash announces that he wants to begin a new adventure in Unova, to be able to meet new Pokémon and make new friends, and will be challenging the [[Unova League]]. Approving of his decision, Professor Oak tells him that he will take good care of his other Pokémon while he is away, while Ash's mother advises Pikachu to look after Ash. Professor Oak, as a [[Pokémon Researcher|researcher]], then requests Ash to occasionally report to him about new Pokémon and discoveries. Right after their dinner, Professor Juniper gives him a [[Pokédex]] and five [[Poké Ball]]s, and tells him that the first [[Gym]] is at [[Striaton City]]. She also reminds him that he may meet his rival, [[Trip]], while on his journey.

As the sun rises in the morning, Ash is now prepared to leave for his journey. Meanwhile, Mrs. Ketchum, standing beside the two Professors, now rattles off a list of advice and to-dos for Ash on his journey. He tells her that he is not a small boy anymore, and when Professor Juniper informs him about the [[Pokémon Center]] after leaving the forest, he turns around and sets off, the three adults cheering him on. Oshawott watches from behind.

Ash walks into the forest, wondering what kind of Pokémon he will catch first. He then hears rustling from a bush he jogs past, and seeing something purple, he checks his Pokédex. The electronic gadget displays a picture of an {{p|Axew}}, apparently green in color. Talking about Axew's properties and behavior, Ash wonders why what he sees is so different from what it is being displayed. Nevertheless, he throws a [[Poké Ball]], and it hits... a girl's head! The girl rises from the bush, enraged at being thought of as a Pokémon. Apparently, it was actually her purple hair that Ash had spotted while she was picking fruit. Ash immediately apologies for his actions. Accepting his apology, the girl raises the fruit she had picked to her hair and an Axew pops out, grabs the fruit and jumps to the ground, eating it.

As Pikachu walks forward towards Axew, the girl excitedly picks him up and starts playing with his cheeks, hugging him tightly and starts cuddling him. She asks Ash about Pikachu, and the two then formally introduce each other. The girl is actually named {{an|Iris}}. During the conversation, Pikachu struggles to breathe and discharges a lot of electricity, causing Iris to drop to the ground. Later on, Iris apologizes to Pikachu, and she questions Ash about the incident that happened yesterday. Upon hearing that Professor Juniper described the Pokémon as Zekrom, she starts further questioning him, but Ash and Pikachu, having spotted a {{p|Deerling}}, became distracted and chases after it.

Somewhere in a cave, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} are reporting to {{an|Giovanni}}, who has learnt that their infiltration to the Unova region was successful. The {{TRT}} trio, plotting to capture Pikachu and a legendary Pokémon they had encountered, requests to have their Pokémon that they had left in the Headquarters. However, [[Matori]] interrupts, and tells them that using Pokémon that are not native to Unova would raise suspicions, so they will have to catch Pokémon only found in Unova. {{MTR}} then wonders if he will be alright, as he is not native to Unova. Giovanni takes his leave, and the three become very determined to succeed. Back at {{an|Team Rocket HQ|the HQ}}, Giovanni once again reaffirms his secretary's doubts by telling her that trusts the trio, and that he is sure that their operations will result in Unova's secret organization revealing themselves. Meanwhile, the trio is inspecting the 'Starter Kit' they have been sent (which comes with Poké Balls), when a colony of {{p|Woobat}} flies towards them.

Back in the forest, Ash spots a herd of Deerling near a pond, and checks his Pokédex. He throws a Poké Ball at one of them, to which it easily deflected with its head. Iris then teases Ash for not battling the Deerling first, to which Ash responds he was trying his luck even though he hasn't done so in a while. Ash is about to send Pikachu into battle when suddenly, one of the Deerling alerts the herd, and they all run away. Apparently, the Deerling was alerted because a scurry of {{p|Patrat}} was on a rampage, rather than it being due to Pikachu's presence.

Night soon approaches and the sun begins to set. As Ash and Iris begins searching for food, Ash picks an apple from the tree and wonders if it could be eaten. However, Iris manages to obtain a mountain of apples from the same tree, significantly burying Ash and Pikachu underneath.

As night falls, Iris and Axew are sitting in the tree, while Ash and Pikachu sit beneath it, all four eating apples. They soon talk about yesterday's incident whereby Pikachu was unable to generate electric attacks due to Zekrom's mysterious powers. Iris then exclaims excitedly about encountering Zekrom, while Ash starts talking about the possibility of meeting mysterious Pokémon like Zekrom everywhere. Ash looks up, and realizes that Iris and Axew had fallen asleep.

Ash and Pikachu begin admiring the brilliant, star-filled night sky, when a shooting star, a symbol of good luck, runs across their field of vision. The two soon become excited about their journey, and as they drown themselves in a babble of energized chatter, Oshawott appears from behind a bush, oblivious to the two of them...

The next day, Ash wakes to find Iris missing, but nevertheless continues with his journey. He sees a {{p|Pidove}} flying above the forest, checks his Pokédex, and decides to catch it before giving chase. Reaching a clearing where a flock of Pidove had gathered, Ash tells Pikachu to engage the closest one. Pikachu, using a super-effective Thunderbolt against Pidove, causes it to faint. However, when Ash is about to throw a Poké Ball, the enraged flock of Pidove attacks them {{m|Air Cutter}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, buying enough time for the fainted Pidove to recover and flee. As the entire flock flees, Ash starts feeling dejected, until one particular Pidove walks in front of Ash and starts pecking at the ground.

Grabbing this opportunity, Ash commands Pikachu to use Quick Attack, and Pidove is sent flying across the ground. She then manages to get onto her feet, recovers and tries to regain an awareness of her surroundings. As she was doing so, Pikachu jumps into the air and lands an {{m|Iron Tail}} attack on Pidove, knocking her down. Ash quickly throws a Poké Ball. For a moment Ash thinks he's caught her, but Pidove breaks free.

Pidove attacks Pikachu with {{m|Gust}}, Quick Attack and then an Air Cutter. Confident, she attempts to finish Pikachu off with another Quick Attack but Pikachu jumps into the air in time to dodge. The surprised Pidove flies straight into a tree. Pikachu then prepares a Thunderbolt as Pidove gets up, scrambling to avoid the attack but fails. Ash throws the Poké Ball again and catches {{AP|Pidove}}!

As Ash and Pikachu celebrate the success of their first catch in Unova, Iris shows up with an apple, saying that his celebration over catching a Pidove is typical of a small child's behavior. Ash exclaims that he now has a new partner when competing in the Unova League. During the conversation, Axew splits the apple from Iris and shares it with Pikachu. However, before the two Pokémon could finish eating, a pair of mechanical hands grabs them. Ash and Iris turn around to find the Team Rocket trio, standing beside the 'hands'-machine and reciting their new [[Team Rocket mottos#Unova|motto]].

Iris questions who Team Rocket are, and she soon realizes that they are a group of people who steal Pokémon for their evil ambitions and aim to conquer the world. Iris immediately demands Team Rocket to return her Axew, but she also notices that Meowth is able to talk. As she is amazed, Meowth then self-proclaims that he's far more intelligent than all {{p|Meowth|other Meowth}}. Team Rocket then places Pikachu and Axew in a glass box, forcing Ash to send out Pidove. In an attempt to show how strong Pokémon from [[Kanto]] are, Jessie sends Meowth to battle, who attempted to use {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pidove sends Meowth flying backwards with {{m|Gust}}. Jessie then sends out a Pokémon she had caught: {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} (She only learns of the name only when Iris announces it). Woobat starts attacking Pidove with an {{m|Air Slash}}, but Pidove evades and charges at Woobat with a Quick Attack. Woobat dodges to the side, turns around and uses Gust, [[Fainting|knocking out]] Pidove, and Jessie recalls Woobat.

James then prepares a purple {{wp|Balloon (aircraft)|balloon}} for their escape. Desperate, Ash and Iris both climb a nearby tree and Ash leaps from the crown, ready to grab the glass box that was hanging underneath the balloon. However, he misses and falls back all the way to the ground. Things seem hopeless when Oshawott suddenly appears from nowhere and throws its scalchop at Team Rocket's balloon, causing it to crash which shatters the glass box. As the Pokémon are thrown clear, both Ash and Iris jump forward and catch their Pokémon, while Oshawott catches its scalchop, places it back at its belly and jumps for joy.

However, Team Rocket will not retreat without a fight. Ash tells Pikachu to use Thunderbolt, but Jessie immediately sends out Woobat and the Bat Pokémon uses Air Slash, which hits both Pikachu and Axew before Pikachu's attack could hit. Jessie orders another Air Slash. Just before Woobat can attack, Oshawott jumps in front of the two Pokémon and uses {{m|Water Gun}} on Woobat, sending it flying towards Team Rocket. Pikachu gets up and charges into {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but James throws a smoke bomb, causing Pikachu to run into the smoke. When the smoke clears, Team Rocket is no where to be found. Pikachu and Axew, tired and exhausted, collapse onto the ground. Ash grabs Pikachu and thanks Oshawott, and the Trainers rush off to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Oshawott stares blankly as they disappear into the distance, puzzled as to what had happened.

Later that evening, Pikachu, Pidove and Axew are released from treatment at the Pokémon Center. [[Nurse Joy]] exclaims that it's the first time she's treated a Pikachu, and Ash introduces himself. As a [[Kanto]] region Trainer and his first visit to a Unova Pokémon Center, she formally welcomes him on behalf of all the Pokémon Centers. Iris thanks Ash for helping her rescue Axew, but Ash says that Oshawott was the one that did it in the end. As Ash wonders why Oshawott had helped them, the Sea Otter Pokémon secretly peeps into the Pokémon Center and observes Ash...

==Blurb==

While our heroes are having lunch on the path to Nimbasa City, a Roggenrola comes crashing down on them, ruining their feast! Ash decides he wants to catch it, so he makes a couple of attempts using Tepig and Oshawott. The Pokémon are unsuccessful, and they end up needing to visit a Pokémon Center. All this time, the Roggenrola seems to be urgently trying to tell them something. However, in a hurry, our heroes ignore the Roggenrola and leave it behind.

It is at the Pokémon Center that we discover its water source, located in a cave, has been mysteriously cut off. Accompanying a representative from the water company named Garrison, our heroes go to the cave to investigate. We discover that it’s Team Rocket who is to blame for blocking the water supply! They’ve also been catching the Roggenrola that live in the cave in order to implement a new weapon Doctor Zager has invented, which concentrates the power of the Roggenrola’s energy core.

Angrily, our Ash and his friends fiercely battle Jessie, James, and Meowth, and soon the Roggenrola are freed. Garrison arranges to have the water supply restored to the Pokémon Center. Ash also discovers the Roggenrola they first encountered wants to go with him. A battle ensues between Roggenrola and Tepig, and this time Tepig prevails. Roggenrola joins the group as Ash’s newest Pokémon friend!

==Plot==
The episode starts with a wild {{AP|Roggenrola}} running out of a cave, panicked, and escaping through a tunnel. Meanwhile, {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} are having pie which Ash compliments. As Cilan begins to explain how it was made, the Roggenrola jumps out of the tall grass and smashes into the table, destroying the pie, causing Cilan much distress. However the Roggenrola doesn't seem to notice as it begins rambling on. Ash scans it into his Pokédex and then decides to catch it.

First he sends out {{AP|Oshawott}} who is ordered to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Its attack is deflected when Roggenrola kicks a bowl in front of itself. Oshawott then tries an {{m|Aqua Jet}}, which Roggenrola evades causing Oshawott to crash into the table and knock himself out. As Roggenrola makes its landing from dodging Oshawott's attack, Cilan notices a strange device on its back. Ash then sends out Tepig and orders him to use {{m|Tackle}}. Roggenrola again dodges the attacks with ease and Ash orders Tepig to use {{m|Flame Charge}} which lands a direct hit and ends up knocking the device off Roggenrola's back. However Roggenrola is still standing due to its {{a|Sturdy|Ability}}. Tepig comes back with another Tackle, but before it can reach Roggenrola, the Mantle Pokémon stops Tepig in his tracks with {{m|Sandstorm}} immediately followed by {{m|Stone Edge}} which knocks out Tepig. Ash then picks up Tepig and hurries to the Pokémon Center, glancing back at the Roggenrola who is still acting strangely.

The trio is then seen waiting in the Pokémon Center lobby when Nurse Joy emerges from the examination room with Tepig and Oshawott's Poké Balls and states that they made a full recovery. As Ash retrieves his Poké Balls, a man enters the room and explained that the equipment at the Pokémon Center is working efficiently. Nurse Joy introduces the man as [[Mr. Garrison]] and explains that the Pokémon Center hadn't been receiving water and she hired Mr. Garrison to look into the issue. Mr. Garrison explains that the problem may be caused by the source of the Pokémon Center's water supply: a spring located deep within a cave which then travels through a man-made canal to the center. Intrigued, Ash asks to know more, and Nurse Joy explains that the cave is home to lots of wild {{p|Roggenrola}}. Iris remarks that they saw a Roggenrola earlier, which surprises Mr. Garrison and Nurse Joy, claiming that Roggenrola rarely venture outside of the cave and begin to worry about them. Cilan then points out that he saw a device strapped to the Roggenrola they saw earlier. Convinced, Mr. Garrison decides to go and investigate the cave and agrees to let Ash and co. go along.

The Roggenrola from before is then seen talking to other wild Pokémon in the area before they hear a loud crash coming from the cave. Many Roggenrola are then seen running around maniacally in the cave before being captured by metallic suction cups and pulled into a large, rounded machine. It is revealed to be a vehicle created by {{TRT}} after receiving a mission from [[Dr. Zager]]. The group then arrives at the cave and realize the canal has been dried up, supporting Mr. Garrison's theory. Roggenrola then appears before Ash and motions for them to follow it into the cave. They are led to a massive rock pile at the mouth of the canal, when Team Rocket's vehicle appears and attempts to capture Roggenrola. After reciting their motto, Team Rocket reveals that they are going to use the Roggenrola to power their latest weapon. Ash has Tepig use {{m|Ember}} to break the metal arm connected to the suction cup, freeing Roggenrola. Team Rocket then settle with one less Roggenrola and retreat behind a rock slide. As some of the rocks begin to fall on top of them, Roggenrola uses {{m|Flash Cannon}} to protect everyone from harm. Team Rocket, now outside the cave, test out their weapon which amplifies the power of the Roggenrola cores and then fired a combined Flash Cannon, causing the exit of the cave to collapse. Satisfied with the device, Team Rocket leave to report back to Dr. Zager.

Trapped, Mr. Garrison begins to contemplate how they'll escape the cave. However, Iris confidently exclaims they have nothing to worry about and sends out her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} and orders it to dig a tunnel out of the cave. Cilan then has {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} assist Excadrill. Now freed from the cave, Mr. Garrison states that Roggenrola could find the others using its sensitivity to sound, so the four of them rush off to find the others with Roggenrola leading the way. They manage to catch Team Rocket just in time when [[Jessie]] sends out {{TP|Jessie|Woobat}} and has it use {{m|Gust}}, when it is then hit by an Ember attack from Tepig. Team Rocket then resort to using their Roggenrola cannon to attack the group. Roggenrola runs in front of the cannon and begs its friends to resist attacking. Its pleas fail and the cannon fires as planned, but it manages to deflect it with a Flash Cannon of its own. The Roggenrola then begins charging another attack, but this time Ash runs in front of them as well, and the Roggenrola manages to resist the influence of the machine, which causes it to malfunction and free all the Roggenrola. Angered, James sends out {{TP|James|Yamask}} and has it use {{m|Night Shade}} combined with a Gust from Woobat. Tepig manages to disable the attacks with Ember, and {{AP|Pikachu}} launches an {{m|Electro Ball}} as the wild Roggenrola fire a combined Flash Cannon, forcing Team Rocket to retreat.

With all the Roggenrola safe, the team head back to the Pokémon Center where every one of them is tended to by Nurse Joy along with Pikachu and Tepig. Once they are cared for, Mr. Garrison informs everyone that his company will take care of the issues in the cave immediately, as well as restore the Roggenrola's home to its prime condition. Overjoyed, the Roggenrola that spent the day with Ash then requests that he follow it outside where it then makes a stance in the field as it if wanted to battle. Cilan explains that Roggenrola wants to accompany Ash on his journey, an offer that Ash happily accepts.

Ash sends out Tepig to battle Roggenrola once more, much to Iris's surprise who stated that Tepig had already lost against Roggenrola earlier, and the fact that he has a type-disadvantage. Ash however feels it's all the more reason to challenge Roggenrola again with Tepig. He starts off having Tepig use Tackle which is immediately countered by Roggenrola's Sandstorm and Stone Edge combination. Roggenrola then begins charging Flash Cannon when Tepig charges into it with Flame Charge, which causes a minor explosion. Tepig attacks with a Tackle which Roggenrola absorbs. Roggenrola continues to absorb his Tackle attack until he manages to land a critical hit on Roggenrola, sending them both toppling over. Ash then throws a Poké Ball that catches Roggenrola and locks it inside, officially adding the Roggenrola to his team.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:The Mastermind of Mirage Pokemon poster.png|thumb|left|230px|English poster]]
Ash is rereading his letter, inviting him to Dr. Yung's lab, to Brock, May, and Max. When he gets there, he is shocked to see Misty and Professor Oak. Dr. Yung appears, and shows them a few [[mirage Pokémon]]. He invites Misty to {{pkmn|battle}} one. Misty sends out her {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} against a mirage {{p|Aggron}}. She is shocked that Staryu's most powerful attacks don't even make it blink. Staryu goes out quickly. Ash begins to battle when an {{p|Armaldo}} suddenly locks up. Yung's Mirage Pokémon System has mysteriously locked up! The controller explodes in his hands, and a handful of [[legendary Pokémon]] appear. A stranger, calling himself ''Mirage Master'', uses the system he has just hijacked to his advantage, kidnapping Professor Oak and Dr. Yung. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} cannot get back inside because a bunch of mirage Pokémon stand just inside.

Oak, in the custody of Mirage Master, demands to know where Dr. Yung is. Mirage Master ignores his query, and demands the password to Professor Oak's research lab. Oak refuses while a {{p|Mew}} flies in. Professor Oak is greeting it when Mew is attacked. The Professor demands to know why Mirage Master did that. The Mirage Master says that Mew was a failed creation, and he tells Mew to leave.

Ash, Misty, Brock, May, and Max formulate a plan. Ash and Misty will sneak in through the moat, Brock will alert [[Officer Jenny]] (with the intention of receiving a candlelight dinner for two), and May and Max will wait in case Ash and Misty get in trouble. They split up. Ash and Misty use {{AP|Corphish}} and Staryu to get in.

{{TRT}}, after the Mirage System Plans, are looking around. They attempt to burst through a door, only to have it hit them in the noses! Ash and Misty walk through, Team Rocket does the {{motto}}, thereby wasting enough time for Mirage Master to check the camera and send in mirage Pokémon. Team Rocket escapes, Ash, Misty, and {{AP|Pikachu}} are held by two mirage {{p|Machamp}} and a mirage {{p|Ursaring}}. As the three are being carried, Ash sees Mew appear again, and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Some various things are blown up, including a wall, signaling to May and Max. May goes in, and tells Max to wait. Pikachu frees all of them, Misty falls over the edge of the bridge, and Pikachu is recaptured, leaving Ash and Mew. Mew is suddenly trapped by a force field, and Ash manages to get Mew free. Ash discovers that Mew is a mirage Pokémon.

Pikachu is in a fearsome-looking device. Professor Oak asks what the Mirage Master is doing. Mirage Master says he will extract Pokémon data from Pikachu's memory, and that this would not be needed if Oak was cooperative. Pikachu contorts with pain. He looks at the picture displaying Pikachu's memory. {{p|Lugia}}... {{p|Entei}}... {{p|Celebi}}... {{p|Latios}}... {{p|Latias}}... These are all rare Pokémon Pikachu has seen. Oak cannot stand the look of Pikachu, and enters in the password: {{game|Red and Green|s|REDGREEN}}. Suddenly, Mirage Master has the ability to download information from places around the world. {{Tracey}} and {{pkmn|Professor}}s {{prof|Elm}} and {{prof|Birch}} stare at computers in their labs, while [[Nurse Joy]] deals with problems at the [[Pokémon Center]].

"You have to believe me, Officer!" Brock pleads to Officer Jenny. "We need to go to Professor Yung's lab for a candlelight dinner... I mean-" Nurse Joy flickers onto the officer's computer. She tells the officer that someone is downloading massive amounts of Pokémon data. Brock tells her about Mirage Master, and they leave.

Misty is hanging onto the edge of a bridge. She suddenly loses her grip, and May appears in the nick of time to save her. They go upstairs. Ash and Mew are there already, and the process of creating the Pokémon finishes in a flash of light. A mirage Mewtwo emerges. He attacks them, and they run. Outside of the boundaries of the Mirage System, the heroes think they are safe. Then, missiles are launched from the towers, and they expand the system! Mewtwo and Mirage Master emerge. Mirage Entei, Articuno, and Zapdos suddenly appear. Oak correctly guesses the identity of the Mirage Master. Mirage Master removes his mask, revealing Dr. Yung! Oak reveals that when Mirage Master first appeared, he was a hologram, and that Yung was expelled from the Pokémon Institute for his research, deemed disrespectful to Pokémon. Yung's Mewtwo and Ash and company battle. Yung is about to obliterate Pikachu when Mew takes the blow. Mew then is absorbed into the Mirage System. Yung says "good riddance," and Mewtwo absorbs the entire Mirage System database. Ash is enraged that Mew is called a failed creation, and the attack begins anew.

Team Rocket is blown away in this fight. Pikachu is about to be killed when Mew holds Mewtwo back! Ash orders Pikachu to perform {{m|Volt Tackle}}, and Mewtwo is destroyed, as are Mew and the System. The fortress is now aflame, and Yung retreats inside. The police are searching, as are firefighters, but they cannot find him yet. The gang discusses what happened, and agree that Mew was far more than just data and certainly not a 'flawed specimen' as Yung believed.

==Trivia==
[[File:The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon logo.png|thumb|200px|Logo]]
* This was the first Pokémon anime feature to air in the United States earlier than in Japan.
** The second time this happened was later that same year when ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate]]'' premiered in the United States six months before the Japanese version aired.
* All the music used in the special was originally used in the Japanese movies and series. 4Kids mostly used its own, American-composed music for the series.
* This is the first time [[Michele Knotz]] plays {{an|Misty}}. She would not appear again in the role until ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', about seven years later.
* The scenes of Pikachu's memories of Lugia, Entei, Celebi, Latias, and Latios come from their respective movie appearances.
** Lugia: ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''
** Entei: ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''
** Celebi: ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''
** Latios and Latias: ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''
*** The one movie from the original series not shown in Pikachu's memories is ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' due to the fact that everyone's memories of that event were erased by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} at the end of that film.
* The password for Oak's lab, "REDGREEN", is a reference to the original pair of Pokémon games, {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
* The copyright notice on the Japanese version reads ''© 2006 Pokémon USA, Inc./ShoPro. © 2006 Pokémon. © 1995 - 2006 Nintendo / Creatures Inc. / GAME FREAK inc.'' Some of the U.S. production credits were also included.
* During the opening theme, a brief frame of Dr. Yung standing behind Mewtwo dressed as the unmasked Mirage Master can be seen, spoiling the special's climactic plot twist.

===Errors===
* [[Max]] states that {{p|Aggron}} cannot use {{m|Thunder Wave}}, but it is able to legitimately learn the move via [[Move Tutor]] in {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}.
* When the Mirage {{p|Houndoom}} sends {{TRT}} blasting off, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s voice is heard, but only the trio is seen.
* The footage of Pikachu's memory of ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' is of {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} being chased by the Pokémon hunter, which he did not witness.
* As the missiles are launching out of Dr. Yung's castle, Mewtwo and the Mirage Master can be seen standing outside the gate. They are then shown exiting the building a few scenes later. Not only is this a continuity error, but Mewtwo could not have stepped through the gate without the Mirage Field having been deployed.
* In the English version, when Dr. Yung removes his mask after being revealed as the Mirage Master, he briefly continues speaking with a distorted voice after removing the mask. This is not the case in the Japanese version.
* Due to a perspective error, the wreckage of the castle gate that impedes Oak from apprehending Yung seems to fall from empty sky off-screen. The rubble is later shown in a more accurate position beneath the gate arch.
* In the second dub, Ash erroneously refers to Dr. Yung's villainous persona as "Mr. Mirage", his persona's Japanese name, when his identity is revealed.

===Dub edits===
====Redub edits====
A redubbed version, with the newer voices and the others improved, is included on the bonus DVD of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.

The original opening used the rap section of ''{{so|Pokémon Go!}}'', while the redub opening used a different section of the song and a different animation. The redub then played the original rap opening as an ending theme during the credits, but without the original animation.

There are a few dialogue changes, as listed below.

'''Ash's Totodile''' (Japanese: '''サトシのワニノコ''' ''Satoshi's Waninoko'') was the last of the [[Johto]] {{pkmn2|starter}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to join [[Ash Ketchum]]’s [[party]], and the fourth Pokémon he caught in the region.

==History==
===Original series===
[[File:Ash Totodile debut.png|left|thumb|200px|Totodile's debut appearance]]
Totodile first appeared in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]''. Both {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} wanted to capture it, and although Totodile was stunned briefly by {{AP|Pikachu}}, it managed to escape from their Poké Balls and knock them down with a powerful Water Gun. Totodile then came across {{TRT}}, devoured their lunch itself, and sent them blasting off. Finally tracked down by Ash and Misty, Totodile jumped into the bushes just as they both threw their {{ball|Lure}}s at it. They then found out that one of the Lure Balls had captured it. They decided to have a {{pkmn|battle}} to decide who would keep it. [[Ash's Chikorita]] and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} defeated [[Misty's Staryu]] and her newly evolved {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}}, winning the battle and earning Ash the new Totodile.
[[File:Ash Totodile in love.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Totodile in love]]
Totodile was shown to be fairly romantic, as it quickly fell in love with an {{p|Azumarill}} in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''. Totodile's advances were spurned repeatedly by Azumarill, and {{an|Brock}}'s decision to teach Totodile to be successful in love was no more successful. But when Azumarill and Pikachu were captured by Team Rocket, Totodile ignored Ash and Brock's orders for it to come back and single-handedly chased Team Rocket down, locating them in a log cabin. Totodile was captured itself, but managed to cheer Azumarill up at least. When [[Trixie|Azumarill's Trainer]] arrived with Ash and his friends, Totodile blasted Team Rocket down to help rescue Azumarill, but discovered that Azumarill was in love with Trixie's {{p|Golduck}}, who had defeated {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Weezing}}. Brock consoled Totodile that although it can't win every time, love is worth fighting for. Totodile seemed to take this advice in its stride, falling for a {{p|Quagsire}} before the end of the episode.

Totodile was used fairly often during Ash's travels in [[Johto]], but it wasn't used in many Gym battles, only once in ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' against [[Whitney]]. However, [[Whitney's Miltank]] proved far too powerful, and her {{m|Rollout}}, already powered up in the battle with {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, knocked out Totodile in one hit. In the [[EP159|rematch]], Totodile performed better, launching itself into the air with Water Gun and landing on top of Miltank, but it was quickly shaken off and knocked out. {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to win the battle. In ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', it was initially used against [[Janina]], who Ash believed to be [[Jasmine]], the Olivine City Gym Leader. Against her {{p|Onix}}, which had been coated in waterproof polish, Totodile was defeated by one {{m|Tackle}}.
[[File:Ash Totodile battling in vain.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's Totodile battling in vain against Miltank]]
As one of Ash's only {{type|Water}} Pokémon, it was the first choice for Ash's team in the [[Whirl Cup]], along with {{AP|Kingler}}. In the battle with {{OBP|Christopher|EP216}} and his {{p|Kingdra}}, Totodile showed its skill by escaping a {{m|Twister}} and defeating Kingdra by using Bite on its snout while Kingdra used {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and the result of having too much water in its snout, it was sent off flying, and thus was defeated. In the head-to-head battle with {{an|Misty}} in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', Totodile put up a good fight against her Poliwhirl by Headbutting it into a pillar, but was knocked out by a high speed dive and {{m|DoubleSlap}}.

Totodile was used briefly in a battle park in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', where it defeated a powerful {{p|Charizard}} after using Scary Face for the first time. It also fought in the private Coastline Gym in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]'', where it was revealed that he knew Slash. Totodile put up a very good fight in the underwater arena against [[Dorian]]'s {{p|Lanturn}}, but Ash's inexperience in such battles and a type disadvantage caused him to lose.

In ''[[EP265|Pop Goes The Sneasel]]'', Totodile was sent out to battle a wild {{p|Sneasel}} that was preventing the retrieval of the Sacred Fire needed to begin the [[Silver Conference]]. However, through a combination of Slash and {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Totodile and Ash were sent flying back. Harrison later defeated and captured Sneasel.
[[File:Totodile Dance.png|thumb|200px|Totodile dancing in excitement after defeating Sneasel]]
It joined {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Phanpy}} in Ash's battle against [[Macy]] in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''. It squared off against her {{p|Slugma}}, who was quickly swapped with her surprise entrant, {{p|Electabuzz}}. Later in the battle, the two matched up again, and the type disadvantage was evident - Totodile's water was blocked by {{m|Light Screen}}, and an attempt to Headbutt through resulted in a {{m|ThunderPunch}} knockout.

Totodile redeemed itself in a battle against {{Jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', settling the score with {{TP|Harrison|Sneasel}}. Totodile bit down on Sneasel's arm to prevent a {{m|Metal Claw}}, and knocked it out with its tail. Its victory dance was very popular with the audience. Totodile's Scary Face attack had no effect against Harrison's {{p|Hypno}} and it was taken control of with a {{m|Hypnosis}} attack. A {{m|Psychic}} took it out of the match.
Ash left Totodile at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], along with his other Johto Pokémon, when he departed for the [[Hoenn]] region.

===Advanced Generation series===
In a special episode, it was seen squirting [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] with a Water Gun attack but was fired back again. Totodile had its revenge later by squirting them with a Water Gun again and it hit. Later, it was seen blasting Cassidy and Butch off and destroying their helicopter. It also appeared in the Christmas special, where it was hanging out with {{Ash}}'s, {{an|Brock}}'s and {{an|Misty}}'s Pokémon. Totodile managed to retrieve one present for {{p|Delibird}}. It was also seen creating the {{p|Snorlax}} Snowman.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
Totodile appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'' alongside Ash's other Pokémon. It was found dancing in a water fountain and affectionately nibbled on Ash's head before being recalled to its Lure Ball. Later, it helped to put out the fire caused by {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, together with {{AP|Corphish}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Totodile was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===Best Wishes series===
Totodile was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Totodile.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his Totodile]]
Totodile is a highly energetic Pokémon. It is always happy and shows this by dancing, a theme that is focused on when it is released from its Lure Ball, even when being called into a battle. It also unabashedly introduced itself to {{AP|Larvitar}} first in ''[[EP259|Entei at Your Own Risk]]'', energetically swinging Larvitar around in a circle. However, when need be, Totodile can be a powerful opponent, as seen when it managed to defeat Harrison's Sneasel, who had been causing trouble for Ash and Harrison earlier on in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.

Totodile also acts as a comic relief character, as its tendency to dance is shown in many important matches, frustrating Ash, and confusing its opponents. Its most significant battle, defeating Harrison's Sneasel, depicted it biting Sneasel's hand and dancing around whilst thrashing Sneasel into the ground. Its Scary Face attack has also been used as a joke a couple of times, one being in a battle with [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto|Mini-Dit}}, where Totodile laughed at its {{m|Transform|imitation}} of the move before continuing the battle.

[[File:Duplica Mini-Dit Tackle.png|thumb|200px|right|Mini-Dit using Tackle as Totodile]]
* While Totodile did not use {{m|Scary Face}} until ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', it had been used by [[Duplica]]'s {{p|Ditto|Mini-Dit}}, which was {{m|transform}}ed into Totodile at the time, in ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', which aired eighteen months prior in Japan. This implies that Totodile knew the move at the time.
** Also, in the same episode, Mini-Dit used {{m|Tackle}} while being in the form of Totodile, implying that Totodile knew the move. However, Totodile has never used Tackle before or after that episode, and, in addition, [[Anime move errors|Totodile cannot legally learn]] Tackle in the games.
* Ash told Totodile to use {{m|Skull Bash}} in ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]'', a move which Totodile cannot legally learn. This was a dubbing error. In the original version, it was commanded to use {{m|Headbutt}}.
* Ash told Totodile to use {{m|Leer}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]''. This was a dubbing error. In the original, it was commanded to use {{m|Scary Face}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Totodile AP.png|thumb|200px|Totodile in the Ash and Pikachu manga]]
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash's Totodile appears in ''[[SP10|The Grand Rhydon Plan.]]'' of the Ash and Pikachu manga.

===In the movie adaptations===
Totodile appeared in ''{{ma|Emperor of the Crystal Tower: Entei}}''.

==Trivia==
* Totodile is Ash's only Pokémon not to be kept inside a regular [[Poké Ball]] but rather inside a {{ball|Lure|special Ball}}. Although all of [[Ash's Tauros]] were captured with {{ball|Safari}}s, they stay inside regular Poké Balls when with Ash.
* It is the second Pokémon that Ash and {{an|Misty}} battled over. The first was {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.
* Totodile has been referred to as a male in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]'', but only in the English dub.
* It is the second one of Ash's Pokémon that Brock has given romantic tips to. The first was {{AP|Butterfree}}, although unlike Butterfree, Totodile was not successful.
* Totodile is the only one of Ash's Johto Pokémon who can evolve but hasn't evolved at least once.

{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Channel''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンチャンネル～ピカチュウといっしょ！～''' ''Pokémon Channel ~Together With Pikachu!~'') is a spin-off game developed by [[Ambrella]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

The {{player}} and his/her {{p|Pikachu}} have been asked for help from Professor Oak. Play varies between the television programs and exploring [[Mintale Town]]. Gameplay usually lasts for at least a week as new programs are unlocked each day (the game is played in real time).

Most of the Pokémon have their anime voices, including {{MTR}}, and the game includes a unique anime episode titled ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''.

The game includes an in-game [[Pokémon mini]] emulator. Most of the games are from its existing library, though there is one new game, entitled Snorlax's Lunchtime.

After completing the game by watching all the episodes of Pichu Bros. in Party Panic, {{p|Jirachi}} can be downloaded from the European and Australian edition of the game. Although originally intended for download from a bonus disc related to the game, Jirachi's distribution method in other countries ended up having nothing to do with Pokémon Channel.

==Blurb==
Professor Oak needs your help! Pokémon Channel is a TV-broadcasting network that airs a variety of Pokémon programs, and he's selected YOU as the initial test audience! With the help of Pikachu and other Pokémon, you can make Pokémon channel the highest rated channel on TV!

* Pokémon News Flash - Watch {{p|Psyduck}} deliver the news while {{p|Meowth}} reports on-location. Pay close attention for hints on where to meet Pokémon.
* Featuring an all-new animation: [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]! exclusively for Pokémon Channel!
* {{p|Smeargle}}'s Art Study - Paint your favorite scenes and have them evaluated by Smeargle!
* Shop 'N Squirtle - Use purchase points to buy items for your room and make it more Pikachu friendly!
* Play with Pikachu outside and meet many different Pokémon!
* Pokémon mini - Play a virtual version of [[Pokémon mini]] and select from a variety of mini game titles!

==Mintale Town==
[[Mintale Town]] is split into four areas. The house is located in [[Springleaf Field]], while the other three areas are reached by bus.

Through exploring the world, it is possible to interact with [[wild Pokémon]], most commonly through them asking questions about themselves. A correct answer will earn the player a [[Nice Card|collectible card]]. What Pokémon appear in each area depends on the time of day and weather. The weather is changed by watching Slowpoke's Weather Report, while the day is split into the following time periods:

* Morning: 5:00 AM – 9:00 AM
* Day: 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM
* Evening: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
* Night: 7:00 PM – 5:00 AM

==Jirachi==
Players can obtain {{p|Jirachi}} in both the European and Australian versions of the game. It can be downloaded onto a version of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. After unlocking the full version of ''The Pichu Bros. in Party Panic'', Jirachi will appear, and the mini-movie will be shown above the campfire. The [[Berry Glitch]] in Ruby and Sapphire can also be fixed.

==Pokémon mini==
{{main|Pokémon mini}}
Pokémon Channel also includes a virtual Pokémon mini. Pikachu must find it under the bed before it can be played. The virtual Pokémon mini comes with a Pokémon Channel exclusive game, Snorlax's Lunch Time. The player has to buy other Pokémon mini games on Shop 'N Squirtle.

===Snorlax's Lunch Time===
This is a bonus game exclusive to Pokémon Channel. The goal is to keep feeding {{p|Snorlax}} until it accidentally tries to eat a {{p|Pichu}}.

===Pokémon Pinball Petit===
Pokémon Pinball Petit allowed the player to try the first 10 levels of Quest mode, while disallowing the player to save, meaning you could not keep your high score.

==Reception==
Pokémon Channel received a "Meh" score of 5.0 out of 10 from IGN, stating that "There's plenty here for the Pokemon fan, but it's only skin deep," and although the game does have "interesting aspects," it "makes watching TV boring."<ref>http://cube.ign.com/objects/566/566823.html</ref>

==Trivia==
* In the instruction manual of the English version, {{t|Psychic}} is misspelled as "Physic".
* The title music of Snorlax's Lunchtime is also used as Snorlax's theme in [[Pokémon Zany Cards]].
* The Bumpers are similar to {{wp|BBC}} bumpers.

== How do I archieve? ==

I see you just archieved your talk page. I'm feeling my talk page has grown over the years to a size I feel like is more than enough long. Can I just do it on my own like you did with your talk page just now? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:07, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
:Yup, all you have to do is move it [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#Archiving user talk pages|more or less]] wherever you want (with the tab at the top of the page). Make sure to link the archive on your new talk page, too. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:10, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
::Thanks! I'll do that when I get the chance. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:12, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

== Hey ==

I just wanted to thank you for your hard work with the e-Reader information for Colosseum. I've been trying to get a hold of that information for a long time and you managed to collect quite a substantial amount. So again, thanks! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 23:07, 13 November 2015 (UTC)
:{{u|Nmurthy}} deserves much of the credit for being the first to [[User talk:Nmurthy#Colosseum e Cards|find]] the most recent information and start adding it here. I'm hoping I'll be able to contact the video's uploader, though, and maybe add even more info eventually. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:18, 13 November 2015 (UTC)

== Talk: Starter Pokémon ==

[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 21:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Tiddlywinks,

I feel this trivia fact in the anime is important and should not be deleted please.

*{{p|Charmander}} is the only Kanto starter that was not obtained or caught by May.

May only got Bulbasaur and Squirtle, but not Charmander. She does have a Fire-starter, but it is from "Hoenn" not Kanto.
:Three Pokemon is a small group, and two is a small number. It borders on coincidence. But honestly, I don't generally bother with the anime so maybe I've got the wrong perspective and others might feel different if you bring it up on the Starter Pokemon talk page. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:11, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 02:05, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
It might make a great trivia fact. Ash caught all the Kanto starters, but May only caught two of them. Soot yourself if you don't appreciate it. (Others would probably realize this too.)
:Tiddlywinks is right, three Pokémon is too small of a group. So your trivia is unnotable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:40, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

== Traps ==

I am not sure on the exact percents as I didn't dig up the info myself (as I've said on my talk page). I did check other things on my own, and for example there are indeed natural Spiked Tiles in [[Solar Cave]]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:30, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
:Well, it doesn't look like the writer for the FAQ you linked explicitly said whether they got their numbers directly from the game or from lots of experimenting. I don't really mind practical estimations myself; my concern is just, if that's what they are (instead of ideal values), it should probably be noted. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:42, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
::I'll edit the pages appropiately. And use your template as it's far more {{tt|convenient|I just used what was on pages for Explorers' dungeons (as these games have traps way earlier so there were some already)}}. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 12:52, 4 December 2015 (UTC)

== Pokémon Manga Location ==

Hi, you previously removed my addition to the Location part of [[PS001]] saying that the infobo wasn't meant for more than one information.

Alot of other chapters such as [[PS002]] contains more than one. I'm lost. [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 23:49, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
:Okay, that's partly my bad, then.
:There's still a couple issues with what you were trying to add, though. First and foremost, as a guideline, how about we generally try to stick to places we actually have pages for on this wiki? (I.e., not "West part of Pallet Town's Forest".) Second, checking the summary, it really doesn't sound like Oak's Lab features at all prominently in PS001; so that's probably a reason against adding Oak's Lab there too. Also, while I do notice that [[PS005]] includes the Gym as a location, other chapters like [[PS014]] don't include [[Pokémon Tower]] and such; you can argue they should, but I would suggest this: most often, it's not really necessary to include locations within a town (like Oak's Lab) if that town is already given as the location.
:Feel free to ask any other questions. I'm totally capable of being wrong or underinformed, so I'd be happy to hear if you see anything else that seems to contradict what I've said. Honestly, one of the {{bp|Project Manga}} contacts may be a better person to try to talk to if you want more confident answers. =P [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:10, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

::I totally understand that places that don't have a page are irrelavant, that's sorted out for me now. But for your exemple with Oak's Lab, even though it is IN Pallet Town, this is still a well-known and important place to be in the Pokémon game. But that's not my question, no, it's rather as you said, Oak's Lab is not the main place in which the chapter takes place, but at the end (2 pages or so) of the chapter, Red is outside of Oak's Lab and we can very clearly see that it is his lab since there's a sign and all that.

::As you said, you might not be the best person to argue something like that since it's manga-related, but where should we draw the line? Is knocking at the door of a building before entering it counts as being a location, or does the character needs to be INSIDE of that location? Thanks for your fast and elaborate replies ! It's really appreciated. :) [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 00:18, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Just to be clear, I'll reiterate first: I don't really think Oak's Lab ''should'' be in the infobox at any point. Pallet Town is pretty much good enough, and the summary arguably suffices otherwise.
:::As for where the line might be: as a bare minimum, if a place isn't entered, it doesn't belong in the infobox. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

:::: Gotcha! [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 00:40, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

== Content removed ==

I had a couple of questions regarding my removed additions.

*In [[Interviewers]], you said ''"Please don't use "you". Also, quotes are for individuals, not Trainer classes"''
**I won't be using first person from now on, I will be using 3rd person. Thanks for the tip.
**I agree with you on the fact that it should be for individuals, not for trainer class, but this one's tricky, since in every game, the interviewers are only 2 persons that stick together, so if you mention the game, you automatically know which trainer we are talking about. So what are the option here? I am seeing three:
***We make an exception for this trainer class since, as I mentionned, they're unique in every game.
***We make an exclusive page for each character and include their quotes in it.
***We add to the trainer list their quotes from talking and initiating, winning or losing a fight.

*In [[Player's House]] you said ''"Please stick to the 3rd person (not "we"). And that's not unique to ORAS"''
**As said previously, I will stick to the 3rd person. But can I still add this information?
**Texts on Player's Houses signs aren't always written the same way even though they are very similar, should we put a table stating what every sign mentions for every generation?

Thanks again! :) [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 05:28, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
:As for interviewers... Firstly, I'll note that we do have pages for [[Gabby and Ty]] and [[Roxy and Oli]]. But, secondly, it's really not ''guaranteed'' that any "interview" is conducted by those people unless that is explicitly conveyed. There's no reason other people can't have jobs as interviewers. (And thirdly, a "report" really isn't guaranteed to be conducted by "interviewers" either.)
:For the house, I kind of think the sign is pretty trivial (and I don't mean that it belongs under Trivia). More, the differences between the signs are ''really'' trivial I think. If the sign would warrant any mention, it would be as part of the intro, not multiple times for each section. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:42, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

::You're right, I haven't thought about the fact that others may be interviewers. For the next point, the game itself says that it's more than one ("we") interviewers than speak since it's written as so: ''"Interviewer: (text)"'' so it's probably them, but as you said, it's not guaranteed. As for the signs, yeah, it's pretty trivial, but it's still a part of the game's text/lore. Well, it's up to you, I'll stop mentionning it if it's that trivial. :P [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 05:51, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

== Quotes Mark. Why or Why not? ==

You recently removed the quotes on my TV shows' titles. Why is that so? I didn't quite understand the thing about the Teachy TV. As for the quotes themselves, the game uses them, shouldn't we use them too? [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 01:36, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
:Where does the game use them? I only noticed them in the quotes for one of the shows you were adding, and at least one other didn't have them. While on the other hand, none of the other sections except Teachy TV had quotes either. (Teachy TV is a little weird, so I won't say it definitely should or shouldn't use quotes.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:46, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

::Well, in fact, 3 out of the 6 shows I'm adding uses them. Considering Nadia Reports is not the official name. It's 3/5.
::They are:
::*KOUKAN TALK
::*ThePokémon Whisperer,
::*What's that?
::[[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 01:53, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Well, the headers for the Unova shows (including its Koukan Talk) didn't have quotes either.
:::The simple answer, though, is that it's just a special, applied format... Like how APA insists you underline or italicize shows or songs or whatever. But that's just in bulk text, really; that doesn't mean we ''must'' do the same thing in the section headers, it's just a very different context.
:::Side question: can you tell me why you chose to title the one section as Nadia Reports? In short, is that totally invented by you? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:05, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

::::No, I took it from the Kalos Shows list. [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 02:07, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::OK. Someone should look into whether that's really the best title... [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:10, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

== trainer tips layout ==

::::A huge thank you for being so patient with me ^^ is this a good place for discussing what I was saying earlier? I would want to keep improving plots' quality. As for the Professor Oak thing, I wasn't so sure about that, you might be right, I just thought "Oak" was too... Hm.. Friendly, I guess? Anyways, as for the collective nouns, are those okay? Should they be considered 3rd person singular as I said or ..? [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 08:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::Basically, I'd advise just leaving the collective nouns alone. IMO either way can be valid—I can even change my mind from one moment to the next. Like I kind of think ''"Team Rocket overhear Clemont and Bonnie talking about Snover and decide to take revenge on Abomasnow"'' is better than "overhears"/"decides", but then I think ''"Elsewhere, Team Rocket have also followed the group to the snowy mountains"'' is not as good as "has".
:::::The other thing you mentioned, ''"Red sends out Poliwhirl and uses Water Gun"'', is not a wording I really have much problem with personally. And to be nitpicky, "makes him use Water Gun" isn't a great-sounding alternative IMO. Because, on the one hand, the Trainer ''is'' making the decisions; and on the other, it kind of gets awkward if you'd always have to say "makes [it] use". There may still be ways around both issues (like ''"Jessie sends out Gourgeist to attack with Shadow Ball and Seed Bomb"''), but the best thing in the end may just be to get used to it (which of course is entirely up to you and your "conscience", so to speak). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 08:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

::::::After a quick research, I have come with some more information concerning collective nouns, well explained on this page: http://grammar.yourdictionary.com/parts-of-speech/nouns/Collective-Nouns.html
In short: a team, for instance is always one thing, but it appears like I was part wrong, since when it acts as a whole, it's singular, and when it acts as individuals, it's plural.
Examples:
*Team Rocket IS looking for somewhere to hide.
*Team Rocket ARE taking care of THEIR Pokémon. (Jessy for Ekans and James for Koffing for instance)

My "<trainer> makes <pokemon> uses <move>" phrasing is not that good I admit, but we should find a better way to do so, since even if it's minor. Let's say Ash asks Bulbasaur to tackle Blue. Is Ash tackling Blue? No, Bulbasaur is, on Ash's order.

Anyway, these are little details that are worth looking up in official sources since, if we want to build a real, good encyclopedia, our grammar/wording must be top-notch! ^~^ [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 08:41, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

== Streamlining signature ==

"I'm curious. Why do you streamline" your signature every time? Shouldn't it be possible to just edit it in your preferences so that part you keep removing never appears?": Is it possible to do that?

[[User:Jdogno4|Jdogno4]] ([[User talk:Jdogno4|talk]]) 06:59, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
:Click the preferences link at the top of any page. The third box should be for your signature, and if you enter <code><nowiki>[[User:Jdogno4|Jdogno4]] ([[User talk:Jdogno4|talk]])</nowiki></code> in the new signature box, I think that'd make your signature appear like you want.
:On a side note, it's usually best to reply to someone's original comment directly (like mine on your talk page) instead of starting a brand new comment on their talk page. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 07:03, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

:Put 2 if that's right. Or 3 if that is. Or 4, or 5 or 6 or 7 or 8. You can take the time to figure it out. "?" is just a bit too odd.
:(FWIW, you may also want to check the shops just before you get a Badge, just to see if there was maybe something in between that actually changed it and you don't mistake that for a Badge.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:04, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

::Is there a way to improve this template? Like, if I change something on it, I need to change it for ALL the shops in Hoenn Gen 6 which is like for every city... Can't we just make a template already filled up with the good info and simply add it to every page we need it? As a programmer, that seems more logical to me, that makes your code (wiki) more DRY (don't repeat yourself). [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:21, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
:::Basically, no, it's easier to just change every page.
:::Strictly speaking, it probably could be done, but I'm pretty sure the cons will outweigh the pros. ("Pretty sure" in part because it depends on how exactly you want to implement it. And also because I'm not an expert on how templates burden a wiki; I just know they do to an extent/at a certain point.

::::Well, I don't know about the burden (but to me, one instance is less heavy than many) but I know enough about wiki templates that I know this can be done, and as you said, except for the burdening (which may even be smaller imo). All you have to do is create the template already filled, and then add it where you want, when you change the original, they all change, so much more ergonomic and easy-to-use. Who are the ones who decide the template stuff? I would like to discuss that with them. ^~^ [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:42, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
:::::Well, I can tell you that when a template needs to be improved, one of the first things that gets done is to manually substitute any nested template calls. It has to do with {{wp|Wikipedia:Template limits#Nested transclusions|this}} sort of thing and everything that's on that page I think. So a template that's just a thin wrapper for another template probably won't exactly be appreciated.

So, basically, it is a template intended to go on the top of pages to make sort of a summary of the item/page with the quote of someone in game.

Just look at the [[User:MannedTooth/HeadQuote|template]] itself, you'll understand.

Hey why not link TMs and HMs in this template to [[List of TM and HM locations in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] instead? --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 14:40, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

== hitting pokemon ==

what rips of XY images are you talking about that says hit? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 12:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
:Images for XY (same place I got [[:a:File:ST basic bag.png|File:ST basic bag.png]] from) that I previously received from {{u|Kaphotics}} when I asked about any such resources. I've not seen the link he gave me in public anywhere else, so I'm not sure if it's okay for me to just share that, but you could always ask him about it if you want. The images may also be available to anyone who has a decrypted ROM, scattered around the file structure.
:Beyond that, though, there were still problems with your latest reasoning. Mainly, if, with the 'normal' "poking/prodding", you were referring to when you just tap once on the Pokemon, then that's defintely not "poking/prodding"; that exact same effect happens when you tap away from the Pokemon too. And IMO, there's much more to the "hit" SFX than just a shortened rubbing SFX.
:At any rate, though...it's definitely something we should continue to discuss here or on Amie's talk page (where it'd be easier for random people to join) rather than risk edit warring about it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:46, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

== User possibly abusing multiple accounts ==

Hello, I believe that the user Lukeno94 is using this account when they already have one. In a comment on "Talk:ROM Hacks" it said something about not being able to access their old account. I'm telling you about this because it's against policies so you or any other admin can decide what should be done.[[User:Sly Fox|Sly Fox]] ([[User talk:Sly Fox|talk]]) 18:21, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

== EXs & Breaks of Fates Collide. ==

Hi, there. I need to clarify something and I didn't want to bother Maverick Nate. Is it okay if I remove all the EXs and BREAKs added today to the english set list for now? Users are always told here to not copy information from other sites, specially PokéBeach. And I'm pretty sure the user who added those cards only did it because he saw the article at PokéBeach. Other than there, I haven't seen that information anywhere else so it can't be properly confirmed. [[User:Metalizard|Metalizard]] ([[User talk:Metalizard|talk]]) 22:08, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
:Honestly, the TCG is definitely not my area of expertise. As far as [[Fates Collide (TCG)]] goes, the only judgement I can make is that Nate already visited that page, so either he thought it was okay or he didn't notice. If you were sure it was improperly sourced, though, I'd say go ahead. But in short, it may be best to ask Nate anyway. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:27, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
::Ones revealed via images are ''fine''{{tt|*|I guess. ugh}}. The ones revealed via text on other sites are not and should honestly be removed however, since false information is frequently posted on said sites (I'm pretty sure N kept getting removed because a certain site said it ''wasn't'' a part of the main expansion, which isn't true.) Feel free to remove it. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 22:50, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

:::I would guess the Old man glitch part is the same as the Mew special stat thing, it's what you need to get that glitch 'mon using that glitch. The Time Capsule exploit part that's in the regular GlitchPkmnInfobox template isn't there simply because that template was updated after the Nocat version was split off.

== re. Fury Swipes ==

I made the change because as it stands, it's implying that three and only three hits is the most probable outcome, which is not true: it has the same probability as two hits at 37.5% each. It means to say that three or more hits is likely (37.5% + 12.5% + 12.5% for a 62.5% chance of three plus hits). This yields an above average likelihood that the power yield will be 18 × 3 or more, resting on an average power of 54.

I'm not sure what is confusing about this, especially given the ''current'' wording. [[User:DKqwerty|DKqwerty]] ([[User talk:DKqwerty|talk]]) 19:52, 13 March 2016 (UTC)
:If you performed the move 100 times, you'd likely get 300 hits. That averages to 3 hits every time the move is used. That's what an {{wp|average}} usually is, an {{wp|arithmetic mean}}. You're talking about {{wp|mode (statistics)|mode}}. The current wording is perfectly correct and/or adequate.

== Oddish debut ==

I feel that something is overlooked. It says in [[GDZ25]] that another Trainer owns the Oddish instead of Shu while Shu's page mentioned that he owns the Oddish in that chapter. Can you clarify which chapter is the actual debut for Shu's Oddish? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 21:58, 14 March 2016 (UTC)
:Actually, at the end of the chapter, the unnamed Trainer offers Shu his Oddish as an apology for what it did. I guess I never gave it much thought. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:25, 14 March 2016 (UTC)

== Category ==
Hey Tiddlywinks! Just a thought, but to my knowledge there aren't any pages or categories putting all the moves available in Pokémon Conquest in one place. Since there aren't any new moves introduced in Conquest, would it be appropriate to make a category for these moves?--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 00:23, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
