== Structure of a page ("Pokémon ... Version") ==
=== Top ===
:When focusing on a pair of older versions that have since been remade, the page should link to the target pair, the remake pair, and the appendix page for the remake pair's walkthrough.

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the original [[Game Boy]] version, not {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[FrLg walkthrough section 01|here]].</center>

-----

=== Headlines ===
:Each route or city should be included in a level-2 headline.
::<code> == Pallet Town == </code>

 
:Also, any important locations found within a route should be included in a level-3 headline within that route's section.
::<code> == Route 120 == </code>
::<code> === Ancient Tomb === </code>

=== Images ===
:There should be map image posted for every new location visited by the player. The image can be placed on either the left or right side of the page near that area's level-2 headline, and should use the "thumb" option to show a thumbnail of the larger image.
::<nowiki> == Route 20 == </nowiki>
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|Route 20]] </nowiki>

 
:If the image needs to be shrunk/expanded to fit the page, then include ###px.
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|</nowiki>{{color|{{red color}}|150px}}<nowiki>|Route 20]] </nowiki>

=== Trainers ===

<pre>

:The Trainer battle information should be included wherever a Trainer battle can take place, and should be placed on the left side of the page.

=== Pokémon ===
:Every location where the player can obtain a Pokémon, wild or gift, should include the following details for each:
::* name
::* encounter rate
::* level(s)
::* area details, such as Grass, Cave, Fishing, Surfing, etc.
:This information, taken from the specific location's page, should be placed on the collapsible background, colored according to the version(s).

==== When time of day is not used ====
:Locations in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]], and other areas where time of day does not affect encounter rates, should use this template:

 
<pre>{| class="expandable" align="center" style="background: #{{gamename color light}};

:Each group of Pokémon should be listed with the highest encounter rate first, and decreasing from there. If more than one Pokémon species have the same percent, they should then be listed in National Dex order. 

=== Bosses ===
==== Gym battles ====
:Each section that focuses on a city's Gym should use the following, which includes the Gym name, badge image, junior Trainer(s), and Gym Leader.

Talk:Pokéwalker

2010-04-11T13:01:20Z

Spritemaster:

==Name==
I don't think it is called the PokéWalker, I think it is just called the PokéWalk. Could we possibly get a better picture too? The current one is very blurry.
:No, it's PokéWalker, I saw the Pokémon Sunday episode. Where'd you get "PokéWalk" from? [[User:Adamant|Adamant]] 16:03, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
::Nevermind, it was the name that Serebii was calling it but now he has it right. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 15:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

== PokéWalker and DS compatibility? ==

I'm wondering if the PokéWalker is truly compatible with the Nintendo DS, and DS Lite. Does anyone know if it will be DSi exclusive? On the wiki page it says this:
"The PokéWalker is only compatible with Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver using a Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, or a Nintendo DSi system. "
Is it true? I really hope so. --[[User:Will.kaufhold|form]] 06:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:HGSS, is compatable with ''all'' DS's so therefore so dose the PokéWalker. It will not be only DSi. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 06:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

==PokéRadar==
I was wondering why the addition of details on chaining was removed from the page? I have checked the history, and there was no reason. I have tried and tested the method for a long time now, and it has proven to be accurate. {{Unsigned|Ryu Shoji}}
:Um, this is PokéWalker, not Radar article. [[User:Solar Dragon|Solar Dragon]] 16:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

- But the 'PokeRadar' is the name of the part of the PokéWalker that is used to encounter wild Pokémon, which has it's own method of chaining. [[User:Ryu Shoji|Ryu Shoji]] 19:28, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

:: And RyuShoji was talking about the PokéRadar function on the Pokéwalker itself. Much like some of the games have PokéRadar, so does the PokéWalker. That's what Ryu was saying! Maybe you should check the edit logs first, Solar Dragon, before assuming what the removed piece of text was? [[User:ASecondOpinion1501|ASecondOpinion1501]] 06:38, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
::: Edity bit: I have just noticed that the PokéRadar section hasn't been removed, just moved to a different section of the page. See [[Pok%C3%A9Walker#Gameplay]] [[User:ASecondOpinion1501|ASecondOpinion1501]] 06:43, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

== EXP etc ==
No info on how much exp you get from walking? I've also heard things such as how a Pokémon can't grow more then one level, and that if they miss moves that they would learn from leveling up if they level up on the PokéWalker. If this stuff is true it should also be mentioned.
Also stuff like what kind of battery it uses, etc. And what are the 'advantaged types' mentioned in the articles of the areas? Are these Pokémon types that deal more then 1 damage with an attack versus a wild Pokémon? [[User:Derian|[[Derian]]]] 19:32, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
:Exp is 1 per step and only 1 level per walk as you said. If anyone wants to add this, the battery is just a watch battery (CR2032) and if it's important, the official website's PokeWalker FAQ estimates a 4 month battery lifetime. Whe don't really know what the advantaged types do yet. From my experience, they seem to have an affect on the rarity of itemfinder items at the very least. It appears that the step requirements will be (partially?) ignored sometimes as well if an advantaged type Pokemon is walking. They don't seem to affect battles or anything like that. Hopefully the Kanto guide goes into more details about what they do. I'm thinking we'll have the complete lists of all advantage types by around 10/29 when the Kanto guide comes out. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 23:38, 21 October 2009 (UTC))

:I've found that the pokemon achieves 1 level upon being returned to the Gameboy, no matter how many steps are taken. I'd kept a low-level pokemon in there for quite awhile and amassed tens of thousands of steps, yet only went up 1 level. Likewise, I've had some take far less steps than xp needed to level & still gained a level. I got my level 10 Magikarp up to level 19 very quickly using the PokeWalker, and the xp needed to level up was the same needed when first deposited. I only had to earn a couple hundred xp to evolve into a Gyarados rather than a few thousand. [[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 20:37, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

== Memory ==

NGamer thought of this: does the Pokéwalker have flash memory? Or does your pokémon disappear if the batteries run out/are removed? I'd of thought this is pretty important. [[User:Thermorules123|Thermorules123]] 16:51, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
:Your Pokémon will not disappear and in some cases steps and watts won't either, you could loose somewhere around an hour of progress by taking the batteries out so they recommend sending everything back to the DS before changing the batteries. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 16:54, 1 November 2009 (UTC))

:Left without a battery long enough, the Pokewalker will reset steps and watts to zero. I discovered this the hard way. :( But at least I didn't lose any pokemon or items. I don't know how long it takes to wipe the numbers, but it went 8 hours without a battery. --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 02:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

== Course Unlocks ==

When a course is unlocked, is it unlocked on the PokeWalker or on the DS cartridge? I had Yellow Forest unlocked on my copy of SoulSilver, but the card somehow became corrupt around the time the Wi-Fi promotion ended. I should be getting a replacement card in a few days but wonder if I'll still have access to Yellow Forest or if I should just keep my pokemon there until I get at least one Pikachu with Fly, just in case I can't go back.
:The unlocked courses are in with your save file, so unfortunately if your save file becomes corrupt (or you start a new game) and lose the old save file, all the unlocked courses get lost as well. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 22:23, 13 November 2009 (UTC))
:That stinks. :( Well, guess I'll just have to keep Togepi in Yellow Forest indefinitely & only transfer the loot. At least until I'm able to unlock it for my English versions. It would be cool if transferring things to the game from a PokeWalker which is currently set to Yellow Forest would unlock it on that card too. That would be a great way to spread the unlock.[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 19:15, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

==Required Steps Question==
On each of the course pages, there's a listed amount of steps you have to take before you can encounter a Pokemon/find an item. My question is: Are these Pokemon unlocked "Forever", or only once per Day, or only while that particular Pokemon is in the PokeWalker, or anything else?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 17:46, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
:Once per day, everyday at midnight the step count resets itself and you will need to rebuild your steps back up to meet that certain Pokémon or find that certain item. I have also heard reports that if you are using the PokéRadar and it hits midnight it will force you out from using it (that does not mean if you are already in a battle, that means if you are in the process of searching for a Pokémon) ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:10, 19 November 2009 (UTC))

If it's a straight face, nothing will happen. Can someone add that, please? And if you can, try it and translate the text that it says. Thanks.

:I think that would be a good thing to add, however I'm not fully sure how it all works.

== Resetting PokéWalker ==

Is there a way to reset the PokéWalker...? (Or am I kinda screwed?) I had a Pokémon stored on there when my cartridge's save file became corrupt. I exchanged the cartridge for a new one, but now I can't seem to use the PokéWalker. I can't transfer the Pokémon to another save file, according to what I've read, and I can't transfer another pokemon onto there. Taking out the battery for awhile didn't erase anything.... So now what? Toss the PokéWalker?? :P --[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 03:53, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
:You have to press Down + X + L and then connect with your Pokewalker. -- on another note, should those sequence of buttons be mentioned somewhere in the article?

== Two Seperate Questions... !/beeping? ==

So two things came into my head... on the page, it says that using the pokeradar can result in !, for Group C pokemon. but at the same time, ! is for Group C or B pokemon... shouldn't there only be one ! section, as both are the same? and question number two: does the pokewalker beep at all, and if it does can it be put to silent? many of my friends and I plan to bring these with us to school (free points for walking in the hallways =D) but dont want them taken away if they beep in class... thanks =D [[User:DeathByAnArrow |DeathBy]][[User_Talk:DeathByAnArrow |AnArrow]] 21:33, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
:There are three volume settings on the Pokewalker: loud, quiet, and silent. However, the 'walker does ''not'' beep for attention or anything like Tamagotchis and similar virtual pets would.

::::To answer your other question, the reason that the page lists !, !, !!, !!! is because that is the sequence that the Pokewalker dowsing machine uses. At first you will get one !, which will always be a group C Pokemon. If you get past that first !, then another ! will appear which can either be a group C or group B Pokemon. If you get past that, then you get a !! which will be either a group B or group A Pokemon. Finally, if you get past all of those you will get a !!! which will be a group A Pokemon only.

Once you click on a '!!!' patch it will always have a Pokemon in it. And as said above, the sequence it will always goes in is: ! -> ! -> !! -> !!!.

::I think what Yamino means is that the courses you unlock are saved on the DS game, rather then the pokewalker. So they wouldn't be lost, unless you lost the game. The watts are stored on the pokewalker, not the game. You keep a 'backup' of the Pokémon in the game that you can restore if the pokewalker battery dies, and the same is probably true with the courses (in a sense). watts just aren't saved in the game. But I mean I don't have it yet so that's just my guess. Also I'm guessing the watts required to unlock a course is the 'total watts ever obtained' not the current watts you have, so that would presumably be stored in the game? --[[User:Derian|Derian]] 13:09, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
thank you, that explains a lot![[User:Brock*PWN*|Brock*PWN*]] 23:55, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Just as a minor clarification, ''everything'' regarding watts/steps/routes for the Pokewalker is stored in the DS except for the watts that are on the Pokewalker itself that have yet to be transferred. Every time you connect the Pokewalker to the game, all watts you had will disappear from the Pokewalker (you'll go back to 0) and be transferred over to the games where they are stored and can't ever be brought back to the Pokewalker again. This is how routes get unlocked. Not by how many watts are on the Pokewalker itself at one time, but how many watts you have sent back to the game. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 07:18, 12 March 2010 (UTC))

== How many Watts to unlock routes ==

To unlock the Resort Area and the Quiet Cave, would one need 180,000 watts, or 100,000 watts? Before I was thinking 180,000 watts, but now that I know that it takes 20 steps to get a watt, I'm more inclined to believe 100,000. [[User:Jecowa|Jecowa]] 05:23, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

== The Pursuit of Happiness ==

Carrying a pokemon in the Pokewalker increases its [[happiness]], however I've seen nothing anywhere which indicates the rate at which it increases. Do events increase happiness (catching a pokemon, finding an item, interacting with other Pokewalkers, etc) or do only steps matter in this effect? How much happiness do you get per how many steps? I'm thinking it's not comparable to steps taken in-game. I've been carrying my Eevee in the Pokewalker for at least two days and walked roughly 10,000 steps/day, but still get the "It's cute" message from the rater in Goldenrod City. (On the other hand, it comes across as VERY happy when I interact with it and based on what I've read in the summary reports after returning from a stroll.) Now that I do the math, though... 10000/256 steps is about +40 happiness.... Two days of this with no other increasing events would make the happiness level 150... still pretty close to the "It's cute" range.... Perhaps it IS comparable to the steps taken in-game happiness increasing event? But... on the other hand... it's carrying a Soothe Bell.... So it seems like that SHOULD make it 230.... Hmm.... If anyone has an answer for these questions, it would really help put my mind at ease. :)[[User:MarkoOhNo|MarkoOhNo]] 08:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

== Version exclusivity? ==

So I'm using the Pokeradar at Beautiful Beach, and I notice something. I have never seen a single Staryu, Poliwag, or Wooper. Coincidentally (or is it?) that is exactly one 'mon from each rarity group. So I'm wondering, is this a series of increasingly unlikely coincidences, or are those three 'mons SoulSilver exclusives (conversely making Sunkern, Slowpoke, and Psyduck HeartGold exclusive)? And if the 'mons available on Pokewalker routes are version-specific, shouldn't there be some kind of mention of that? [[User:Billybobfred|Billybobfred]] 13:54, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
:Nope, they're not exclusive. You have a certain (maybe 50-50?) chance to get one of either group when you send your Pokemon to the Pokewalker. Take the Pokemon out and send it again and the available Pokemon may change. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 14:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC))
:Have you been returning your pokemon from its stroll or just dropping off the pokemon, items & watts as gifts? The pokemon you can encounter only change when you return your pokemon and begin a new stroll. If you HAVE been dropping off the strolling pokemon, then I'd have to say it's just a case of bizarre coincidences... coincidenci? lol Cause I've found all of the above at Beautiful Beach using the same game.

== Three Slots? ==

Anyone knows why there are three slots when you're putting your Pokemon in the Pokewalker? -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 13:12, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
:It's probably because that layout is shared by both the Pokewalker and Pokethlon so they made it available up to 3 but 2 slots just get blocked out when connecting to the Pokewalker. You can never use the two blocked out slots when using the Pokewalker though :/ ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 13:21, 31 March 2010 (UTC))

== Possible flaw ==
Back on the day of the release, when I put Pidgey into the Pokewalker, it didn't learn {{m|Sand-Attack}} even when it reached Level 5. But yesterday when I trained a new Pidgey without the Pokéwalker it did learn the attack. Although I don't have enough direct evidence yet to submit, I think the only disadvantage to using the Pokéwalker is the inability to learn new moves. Did anyone else encounter this kind of problem? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 15:56, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yeah, this is a thing. A guide over on GameFAQs mentions it. [[User:Billybobfred|billybobfred]] [[User_talk:Billybobfred|It's all just wild mass guessing anyway.]] 19:36, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
::That's a very important thing, in fact. Now I have a Weedle that was being leveled solely to learn Bug Bite, but it won't be able anymore... thank goodness there are move tutors! Anyway, do they mention it in the booklet? I haven't seen it... -- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 00:31, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

So, a related question: are these moves re-learnable through a Move Relearner?(or whatever is the correct name... I'm a bit lazy too look it up now) I'm figuring the game system recognizes your Pokemon should have learned that move in a previous level, right?

Yes, since the [[Move relearner]] works with anything in the level up move set for that particular Pokemon, unless if Weedle were to evolve which alters the moveset. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 04:35, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== Losing Steps ==

This keeps happening to me and I'm wondering if I'm alone in this - sometimes, usually when it is inactive for a while, my walker resets the step counter to one but I retain my volts from the steps I had.

== 20 steps ≠ 1 watt with advantageous type ==

Bug pokemon are advantageous on Hoenn Field, right? So I decided to use one there and walked around a few steps, and then stopped and checked my steps and watts. I had gotten one watt from seventeen steps.

== You won't beleive this/Pokérus ==

Huge dicovery! I found a Pikachu in Yellow forest and caught it. (well, I caught three, but) and transferring it to SoulSilver shockingly reveiled it had Pokérus.

::: well maybe Pokéwalker "wild pokémon" are just like regular wild pokémon and have the same chance of carrying the pokérus or being shiny? That would make sense. Would just be incredibly rare! So kudos to you, man. --[[User:Derian|Derian]] 14:17, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
::::Thanks. Just checking. Perhaps we could add somewhere that "Pokérus and Shinyness can still appear on Pokéwalker Pokémon, but does not appear until transferred to the Gen IV games" or something. Because it is a primative system, and people might think it won't work. I don't know. But YAY! Pokérus Ponyta!
:I think I can answer this. Pokérus is based on the Pokémon's Personality Values as well as the Original Trainer's ID (at least I think that's what I've heard). So the Pokérus is a lucky break for you-- that same Pikachu would not have Pokérus for everyone, but every one of that particular Pikachu should (I believe) have Pokérus for you. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 14:33, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
::Last answer sounds most likely- I think all that's stored on the 'walker is the data that you caught x Pokémon and found x items- And then when it's transferred over, the game fills in the rest of the data like stats and personality value... at least I'm pretty sure that's when it's generated, the 'walker shouldn't have much data on it besides the player's party/walking Pokemon/items/species of caught Pokemon.

== pokemon-less random pokemon encounter ==

i want to know how the species of the random pokemon is determined. so far i have only seen pidgeys as random befriending encounters in refreshing field. i walk 7000+ steps everyday. [[User:B33f3r|B33f3r]] 01:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
:The group C active Pokemon is chosen. ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 01:29, 8 April 2010 (UTC))
::so you could never find anything other than pokemon from group c in this way? what do you mean by 'active' pokemon?
:::Active meaning the one that is available. Each group has two Pokemon in it, of which you can only get one during one walk, so it picks the one that is available or "active" ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 04:37, 8 April 2010 (UTC))

== Two Questions Pertaining the PokéRadar ==

1. What exactly are the encounter rates of the pokemon in each group? I'm finding, for example, that it was excessively easy to get Group A mons(specifically, Doduo) in Refreshing Fields, but it's extremely hard to get a special Pikachu in Yellow Forest(as in: didn't get any one during the whole week, walking 10K-12K steps every day). In other words, what exactly does "Very Common", "Common", "Rare" and "Very Rare" mean?

2. Does the speed with which I chose the marked bush influence my catching rate, or am I just deceiving myself thinking if I go more slowly I get "!!" more easily? =P

-- [[User:Pro-mole|Professional Mole]] ([[User talk:Pro-mole|Talk here]]) 23:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
:They correspond to the values that I have pseudo-coded into each of the articles as reference. For example, Refreshing Field is (70, 50), (75, 75), (100, 100) -- (Doduo, Kangaskhan), (Nidoran♀, Nidoran♂), (Pidgey, Sentret). Each of those labels "very Common," "Common," "Rare," "Very Rare" were given ranges and applied based on these numbers in the official guides. The Yellow Forest Pikachu are (2, 3) -- (Flying, Surfing), so comparing (70, 50) with (2, 3), you can probably see why they are harder to find.

I couldn't answer the second question :s... I have no idea lol ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 01:51, 10 April 2010 (UTC))
::Where did you get these numbers? What do they actually mean? Because when you get '''!!!''' you are 100% guaranteed to get the group A active Pokémon. How do they interact when there are two groups available. i.e. when a battle activates with "'''!!'''". Say for example that Doduo was the active Pokémon: Is the probability (70%:30%,Doduo:Nidoran) or (25%:75%,Doduo:Nidoran)? Sorry to bombard you but I am kind of up several contradictory logical creeks with no means of propulsion. Thanks in Advance.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 02:22, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:::From what seemed to be a rip of Pokewalker data taken when the games first came out in Japan that fully coincided with the Official Guides. I do not know when or how it randoms and works with the individual patches which is the reason I have not added them into the articles myself and the person who ripped it said they didn't know either. My best guess is as follows:

:::Let's say we have Doduo, Nidoran (regardless of gender because they are the same) and Pidgey (it doesn't matter). We would have (70, 75, 100)... when you look at how the system works, Pidgey has a 100% rate of showing up. This is so that you can't use the Pokeradar and not get any Pokemon at all. When the steps are too little for anyone in the B group to show up, C has it's full 100% only, meaning everything is C and nothing is B or A. When group B becomes available step-wise, in this case it has a 75%, so it will see if it's a hit or miss on group B. If it turns out to be a miss, then it will move onto group C with a 100% rate and pick group C. If it hits on group B, then you'll get group B. Technically, this lowers the chances to (B|75%:C|25%). The same works when A is available step-wise. Doduo will be looked at with it's 70%, if it's a miss, then it will random for group B which in this case is 75%, if that's a miss, then it will random for group C which is 100%, so you'll get a C. Effectively, this lowers the chances to (A|70:B|22:C|8) as an estimate when Doduo/B/C are chosen. -- Once it's done randoming, it could decide which number of !'s to send the player though based on the result... again... I don't know for sure about the minute mechanics... just those numbers haha... ([[User:Yaminokame|Yaminokame]] 02:54, 10 April 2010 (UTC))

== Running produces less Steps? ==

2 Days ago, I spent 1 hour and 30 minutes covering a considerable distance around and outside my neighborhood by alternating between running and walking. But the final count on my Pokéwalker was between 4500-5000 steps.
Yesterday, I spent only 1 hour covering a shorter distance with just walking and the final count on my Pokéwalker was between 6500-7000 steps.
Is it because I'm producing less steps with more speed? --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 11:01, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:You've hit the nail on the head. When you run, your strides are typically longer than when you walk. Therefore there will be fewer vibrations that the PokéWalker can sense, and less steps will be recorded. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 12:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

== Getting Started ==

I want to create a new Project for the Pokemon books but my wikicoding knowledge pool is a bit shallow and I have no idea as to how to start one. Anyone out there interested in this idea want to help me out? --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 19:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== Recurring chars project ==

I would like to create a project for recurring characters. Can someone help me set it up? --[[User:Galladeon|Galladeon]] 20:11, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
:I see no need for this. These characters can be covered by Project COD, despite them not strictly being characters of the day. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 21:06, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
::That sounds like Japanese songs being covered by an English song project to me. Maybe set them up as two subprojects of an anime characters project? --[[User:Galladeon|Galladeon]] 21:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

== Project Books..? ==

Is there any need for a Project about books? I have noticed that this area of Bulbapedia is fairly shallow in detail. There is already a project for Toys, TV, and Music. That covers most Pokémon media, so why not have one on books? Anyway, if anyone has any ideas about this, or if one secretly exists, please tell me.--[[User:GreenGyarados|♫Green]][[Gyarados (Pokémon)|♫ギャラドス♫]][[User Talk:GreenGyarados|Talk♫]] 18:30, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

:::::It makes more sense to have it as part of the larger Project. It allows that Project to have a much wider scope and not be so contrived in nature.

Kinda dumb (but I'm stumped) what does Bulbapedia Meta mean? [[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 03:24, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
:Not a stupid question at all. BPMEta would be Projects related to pages explaining the running and upkeep of Bulbapedia. Of which there are none. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 08:35, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Walkthrough:Pokémon Stadium/Part 1

2010-02-27T04:35:50Z

Spritemaster:

== Introduction ==
Welcome to {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}. Before you begin to play, there are some features that you should be aware of. (If you have this game and you ''do'' know how to play, then you can skip this section, otherwise, read this section carefully.) This walkthrough will not only help you understand how to play the game, but give you an in-depth rundown of all the features and how to use them properly.

== Pokémon ==
Pokémon are what make up the "back- bone" of the game. However, it doesn't end there, as Stadium includes "Rental Pokémon" as well as the ability to use your own.

=== Rental Pokémon ===
:Rental Pokémon are [[Pokémon]] that are in the game, but only as rentals. Their [[ID]]'s are "00000", and the [[OT]] is "Trainer". Unlike {{game|Red}} and the like, they will obey you. The Rental Pokémon stock has 149 Pokémon, instead of 151 Pokémon for you to use, as {{p|Mewtwo}} and {{p|Mew}} need to be unlocked. Their levels are preset to the game's different rules. All of them have standard moves, and stats. These Pokémon can not be transferred.

== Prof. Oak's Lab ==
Prof. Oak has his lab set up next the stadium for those who need it for whatever reasons. He will only let you in if you have a [[Transfer Pak]] (look down at next section). Once in here you can look at your Pokémon in 3D, move items, and [[trade]] with another game (refer to section below). If you have completed certain events, prize Pokémon can be transfered.

=== Transfer Pak ===
:The [[Transfer Pak]] is an add- on accessory that is only available with this game. It allows you to use your Pokémon from {{game|Red}}, {{game|Blue}} and {{game|Yellow}} instead of the Rental Pokémon that is already in the game. It also allows you to save Pokémon on the game, but their data is ''completely'' transferred, unless you chose to bring them back. The pack also allows items to be switch from the [[Bag]] to the [[PC]] and reshuffle your boxes. You also can trade with another game, though you need another transfer pack to do this action.

== Gallery ==
This is used to take pictures of Pokémon from a Red, Blue, or Yellow cartridge inserted into the [[Transfer Pak]] or any rental Pokémon. Any of the game's arenas can be selected for a backdrop and the photos are stored in an in-game album. These pictures can be printed out as stickers (in 16x1 or 4x4 sizes) via the Sticker Station. Only 24 shots per Pokémon.

== GB Tower ==
[[Game Boy Tower]] is a [[Game Boy]] shaped tower that is on the right side of the map. Here, you can play any of the [[Generation I]] games with the help of the Transfer Pak. The Tower has three modes, each being present at certain points in the game. Mode one is normal mode, speed and graphics are at the ever present setting. This mode is available at the start. The second mode is {{p|Doduo}} mode. Every thing is sped up by double the speed. Can be turned on when you win the Stadium once. The final mode is {{p|Dodrio}} mode. The tower now moves at for times the speed. Only available if you beat the Stadium twice. To activate these modes, press the yellow arrow button that is pointing to the right.
Another feature present at GB Tower is the background. Each game has it's own background. The change it from the GB background and back, press the "Z" button. Also, each time you get a new mode, the default background will change to the match the speed.

File:SGB Yellow E.png|{{game|Yellow}}
</gallery>

== Free Battle ==
Free Battle is the option that allows you play against a friend or a computer for fun. The rules are like that of [[Battle Tower]], yet there are some rules that appear in this game. The main rules are simple:
*Pokémon Battles can have Pokémon at either level 50, 100 or free for all.
*The number of Pokémon on your team can any where from one to six.
*Your opponent's team ''can'' be made by you.
*You can use Pokémon that you own.
*When playing with more than two [[players]], up to three Pokémon can be chosen to the team(s) with two players.

== Stadium Mode ==
The main mode of the game. Here, you play against eight trainers, each at different level of difficulty, in one of the four cups. The cups are [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and [[Prime Cup]]. This mode, along with [[Gym Leader Castle]], the key to facing Mewtwo. For a more detailed run down, refer to the sections under "Stadium Mode".

== Gym Leader Castle ==
The secondary mode to the game. You do what Pokémon is known for here. Battle your Pokémon against the eight [[Pokémon Gyms]] and face the [[Elite Four]]. Then, you face your rival. Winning here gets you one of eight Pokémon that can only be obtained in the games once. A more detailed version is located under the sections of Gym Leader Castle.

== Vs. Mewtwo ==
Vs. Mewtwo is a special mode that can only be chosen if you completed the Stadium and Castle once. Mewtwo's silhouette will appear over the stadium. Mewtwo plays under the "Anything Goes" freestyle rules. He is at Lv. 100. A detailed version can be found under the section "Post- Stadium/ Castle".

== Kid's Club ==
The lay back, have fun mini-game section of the game. There are nine mini- games and four levels of difficulty. A detailed version is in the "Post- Stadium/ Castle" section.

'''Maxie''' (Japanese: '''マツブサ''' ''Matsubusa'') is the head of [[Team Magma]]. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Magma Leader''' (Japanese: '''マグマだんリーダー''' ''Team Magma Leader''). He wears a red and black jacket, with the Team Magma emblem embedded over his chest, and long black pants. He has shoulder-length red hair and pale white skin.

==In the games==
Maxie is the head of [[Team Magma]]. In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire|s}} Maxie helps the {{player}} against [[Team Aqua]]. He doesn't have an active role in the storyline and can't be battled.

In {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} he first appears in the [[Oceanic Museum]] in Slateport City, trying to steal the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Devon Goods}} from [[Captain Stern]]. Later, Team Magma members steal a {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]] in [[Meteor Falls]], and try to dry [[Mt. Chimney]]'s lava pool. Then, after [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] raids the [[Weather Institute]], Maxie steals the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Blue Orb}} from [[Mt. Pyre]]. Later, he and the Team Magma members turn up in Slateport again as Captain Stern announces a discovery he has made about [[Seafloor Cavern|a seafloor cavern]]. Team Magma promptly steals the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] that Captain Stern has built and goes for the Seafloor Cavern to awaken {{p|Groudon}}.

In {{game|Emerald}} Maxie tries again to dry Mt. Chimney's lava pool via the meteorite from Meteor Falls, but this time he is looking for Groudon inside the volcano. After this first, unsuccessfully attempt, Maxie sends Team Magma members to make [[Magma Hideout|a new, secret hideout]] inside the volcano, where he finally awakens Groudon using the Blue Orb stolen at Mt. Pyre. However he loses the control over the legendary Pokémon. Later Team Magma raids the [[Mossdeep Space Center]], trying to use the rocket fuel to make Mt. Chimney explode. The protagonist comes just in time to stop him, but as [[Tabitha]] is teaming up with Maxie, [[Steven Stone|Steven]] is forced to team up with the player to stop Team Magma.

===Pokémon===
In the games he appears in, Maxie battles with the following Pokémon:

==In the anime==
[[Image:Maxie_blueorb.jpg|thumb|180px|right|Maxie and the Blue Orb.]]
Maxie appeared in two episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]].

Maxie appeared in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''. Maxie's goal was to expand the land of [[Hoenn]] believing that if so, the land would be peaceful. But at the end of the latter episode, Maxie realized the errors of his ways and finally changed his beliefs, now believing that the land of Hoenn is supposed to be kept as is.

{{right clear}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
Maxie does not have any fixed headquarters and moves his locations from cave to cave across Hoenn. He rules Team Magma like a barbarian gang but he makes them more elusive; because of this, Team Magma was able to steal the Scanner from the [[Abandoned Ship]] and both Red Orb and Blue Orb. However, the latter was stolen by [[Aqua Admin Amber|Amber]]'s {{p|Volbeat}} for [[Archie]].

After {{p|Rayquaza}} halted the fight between Groudon and Kyogre, Maxie and Archie went insane and attempted to destroy everyone who had interfered in their plan: the [[Elite Four]], the [[Gym Leader]]s, the [[Legendary golems|Regis]], even their own members. It was Maxie's {{p|Houndoom}} that burned [[Norman]] with its flames.

Archie later indicated that Maxie died due to the Red Orb burning out his body and causing him to crumble into dust.

===Pokémon===
The following are Maxie's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

|}

==In the TCG==
With Team Magma playing a large role in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} set, it's no surprise Maxie has [[Maxie (EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua 73)|his own card]] in that set.

==Trivia==
* {{p|Crobat}} is the only Pokémon Maxie has in the games that isn't in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* In {{game|Emerald}}, the player battles against Maxie and [[Archie]] a total of four times. Maxie is three of these.
* He is the only boss of a [[villainous team]] that has a tag battle with a lower ranking member, in his case, [[Tabitha]].
*Maxie is mistakenly called a girl, yet only once, in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire}}.

== About ==

This Project started late 2005, and the only completed one is the Colosseum one? Is there no interest? [[Image:207MS.gif]] [[User:Gligar|Gli]][[User talk:Gligar|gar]] [[Image:472MS.png]] 23:15, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

==Ranch==
Are we going to have a walkthrough for Ranch? I'm playing through it at the moment so could write one if you want? --[[User:FLAMER|FLAMER!]] 21:54, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
: Is there any storyline in Pokemon Ranch?? I dont think so. All that happens is if you deposit 999 pokemon you get to trade a pokemon egg for a mew from hailey.--[[User:Usyflad10|Usyflad]] ([[User talk:Usyflad10|10]]) 22:58, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

== Other Walkthrough Sites ==

Could we get some info from other sites? I mean whenever you're freely paying a Pokémon game, you don't really think of how to do specifically like a walkthrough. I mean, not copy and paste, but copy and paste THEN we make it in our own words... I think I know a couple walkthrough sites.--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 18:15, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
:Why not kill walkthroughs altogether? Nobody comes to 'pedia to get a walkthrough. They go to IGN or CheatCC, or GameFaqs. It's a big waste of time.--[[User:RexRacer|'''Rex]][[Quilava (Pokémon)|Racer''']] [[User talk:RexRacer|'''''-talk''''']] 18:21, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

You're actually right, with saying that. I mean, why should we even have this project, if nothing's happening here and there's quite a couple of sites that have walkthroughs?--[[User:Dragonbeastx|DRAGON]][[User talk:Dragonbeastx|BEAST]][[User:Dragonbeastx/The Aura Spot|X]] 19:31, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree. This project is obsolete and time-consuming. Like RexRacer said before, nobody goes to Bulbapedia for walkthroughs, they go to other sites. --[[User:Usyflad10|Usyflad]] [[User talk:Usyflad10|10]] 23:02, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

The Pokédex Pokémon pages are also on other sites and the routes as well. Anyway, don't we want more people to come to Bulbapedia? [[User:Pyles|Pyles]] 01:24, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
:I agree. Isn't a major goal of Bulbapedia's in general to be as complete as possible anyway? If there were a functioning walkthrough section, it would certainly attract more people. Not everybody uses them, and that's fine, but if people want to contribute in a productive way, then shouldn't they? If nobody else is really motivated about it, I'd be happy to help out. --[[User:KCorp4000|'''''K''''''''''Corp''''']][[User talk:KCorp4000|'''''4000''''']] 16:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm new here and I stumbled upon the Project so I thought I would contribute. I'm doing a Crystal Walkthrough since I have some spare time and no one has started a crystal walkthrough yet.--[[User:Kolink]]

== um... ==

shouldnt the pmd2 walkthrough follow the chapters of the game EX: Chapter 1: Lost at Sea --[[User:Usyflad10|Usyflad]][[User talk:Usyflad10|10]] 23:31, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

i put them to chapters but theres still the pages that title: Section 1, Section 2, section 3. could some on delete them cause i dont know how. --[[User:Usyflad10|'''Usyflad''']][[User talk:Usyflad10|10]] 21:40, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

here are the links {{red link|Appendix:Mystery Dungeon 2 walkthrough/Section 1}}, {{red link|Appendix:Mystery Dungeon 2 walkthrough/Section 2}}, {{red link|Appendix:Mystery Dungeon 2 walkthrough/Section 3}} --[[User:Usyflad10|'''Usyflad''']][[User talk:Usyflad10|10]] 21:43, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

== You or Player ==

in the walkthroughs do i write "you" or "the player"? --[[User:Usyflad10|'''Usyflad''']][[User talk:Usyflad10|10]] 03:08, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

:It's hard to say. I've used both interchangeably in the Red & Blue walkthrough, though you could also combine them, linking one to the other (like →{{player|you}}←). I don't think a walkthrough is really an encylopedic entry, so I don't think it would really matter. [[User:KCorp4000|'''''K''''']][[User talk:KCorp4000|'''''Corp''''']][[Special:Contributions/KCorp4000|'''''4000''''']] 16:55, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I agree with KCorp4000. Most walkthroughs use 'you' and it makes more sense that way. [[User:Kolink|Ko]][[User_Talk:Kolink|link]]

:This is a walkthrough not an article/content, so yes, You is permitted--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 05:30, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

::Okay. Thanks for clearing that up. --[[User:KCorp4000|'''''K''''']][[User talk:KCorp4000|'''''Corp''''']][[Special:Contributions/KCorp4000|'''''4000''''']] 05:45, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Might I suggest that it would be better, to keep with the written style of the wiki as a whole, to infer 'you' rather than directly state it? For example:
Instead of: "After you defeat Norman, he will give you the Balance Badge"
Use: "After defeating Norman, the Balance Badge will be awarded"
This way avoids using the second-person, but also avoids removing the reader entirely, as "The player recieves the Balance badge" would do. It's a standard way of writing that can be seen in any professional instructions/step-by-step guide. Personally I think that would better fit with Bulba's standards, and maybe get this project taken more seriously. --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 19:51, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

== Sapphire ==
I am new here and was told I could contribute to this. Is there a Sapphire Walkthrough?

I forgot to include my name. I am GaryMaister31.{{unsigned|GaryMaister31}}
:[[Appendix:Ruby and Sapphire walkthrough|Here]], my friend. Oh... and sign every time you make a comment on a talk page.--[[User:Clarky13|'''Clarky''']][[User talk:Clarky13|'''13''']] 22:30, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

There is a to do list link on the main project page. That list tells what walkthroughs are unfinished, in the works, or complete.
[[User:Kolink|Ko]][[User_Talk:Kolink|link]]

== Project Leader? ==

Who is the project leader of this? I would like to talk to them about the state of this project - whilst I'm aware that a lot of good work has gone into it (I really wouldn't be writing this if I had no interest in the project), I can't help but feel that the non-standard written style employed makes the articles feel out-of-place on this wiki. I'm also aware that a fair few Bulbapedians think that this sort of stuff should be left to GameFAQs and the like, but I disagree. However, I do believe that the project needs seriously overhauling and brought up to the same standard as the rest of the Wiki. See my suggestion further up on this talk page under "You or Player?" for the sort of stuff I'm talking about. Please don't think I'm just some random newbie with barely a userpage to his name and an over-active trolling gland. I really do believe that this is a brilliant project, but one currently with several faults with style and organisation, which I would like very much to help fix if the project members are willing to consider it --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 20:07, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
:That's a good question. I agree with you, I'm happy that more people are getting involved, but I think we should have some agreed-upon format. I've worked on the walkthroughs for Red/Blue & Gold/Silver, and have generally kept the same format throughout. But there are enough styles at work here that some people may find them too cluttered and hard to read. [[User:Sher-e-Bengal|Sher-e-Bengal]] is the leader of our parent project ([[Bulbapedia:Project Games|Project Games]]) if that helps.

::I personally think that the walkthroughs here should have an instructional written style, although I'm not sure how well that would go down since (it would seem, at least) it would mean rewriting every article. And making them considerably less interesting to read and write. I can see the appeal of the more personal colloquial written style, but it seems to grate somewhat with Bulba's style and they feel out-of-place. If there is no real project leader for this, can I suggest that the members elect one? I suspect that may be a key problem with the lack of organisation here. --[[User:Raylax|Raylax]] 20:50, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

==Current State of this Project==

Well, I couldn't help notice what a mess this project is and how there is no project leader to guide things through. Are people still currently working on this or is it now just obsolete? I think some kind of definite decision should be made so people are who are still contributing aren't wasting their efforts. Since this project seems so huge and given the different amount of games being covered, maybe people should split up into teams for each game to keep it up to standards? On the subject of standards, if there is a project leader, maybe some new standards should be placed to keep things more organized.--[[User:Jello|Jello]] 22:47, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
::I don't think there is a project leader, but this project is not obsolete. {{u|Tyler53841}} does the most, and if we are to recruit a leader, it shold be him. The standards should be made, however, as some of the pages are lacking, and could have better grammar and better follow the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of Style]]. How the crap is this going to be split into teams??? Of course there's a lot of games, but you don't see [[Bulbapedia:Project Games|Project Games]] fussing about it. It's not really logical to be split into teams, and there isn't anything wrong with a lot of contributors, as everyone who does a little counts. That's the way Bulbapedia works. --[[User:Smartkidhen|Smartkidhen]] 23:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
:::I agree, this project is neglected and somewhat of a mess. The Diamond and Pearl walkthrough is not even like a third of the way done and we're seeing HGSS released in the U.S. this March. I was improving some of the HGSS walkthroughs and in some of them, there wasn't even a structure; the headers were just formatted as normal text. I don't think enough people know about this project to actually improve or write new sections. People mostly focus on the games (encyclopedic), anime, TCG, manga, and the likes. I am also not liking the non-encyclopedic language used in these articles: e.g. in a HGSS article, it referred to Prof. Elm as a geezer. I wouldn't consider that formal language, would you? --'''[[User:Dialgarules|Dialga]][[User talk:Dialgarules|RULES]]'''([[Special:Contributions/Dialgarules|contrib]] [[:es:Usuario:Dialgarules|es]]) 23:14, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Definitely not, clearly that type of language is inappropriate for a walkthrough, also I have been working with new ideas to further improve the structure. See what you think of these:

a. No personal strategies are permitted since it is unnecessary wording and is occasionally someone's opinion. The exception is small tips or details of any potential danger involved. My last four Gym coverings on the Ruby and Sapphire walkthroughs is a good example of small tips, since my walkthroughs involve gameplay to produce the best accurate details.

b. Should the listing on the normal appendix pages for the game page be like Ruby and Sapphire and list all the routes and locations where despite the extra space, it makes it easier to track, or just be like Diamond and Pearl and only list from start to finish to save space.

c. Things of lesser value should be cut down or not mentioned to avoid too much details. Such as that I only list noteworthy items in the summaries, or use the ''Later...'' header to deal with revisits to routes or locations that have little value, namely for things like Item pickup or item trades.

d. Then there are minor things like how many sections each part should have or the the preferred size and other minor flaws that need to be found and addressed.

These are what I have for now to help the quality of these pages. I also know there are more surprises coming along the way. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 06:48, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

::Tyler, I've been looking at your walkthrough for reference as well as the D/P one for the HG/SS walkthrough. I haven't followed it exactly, as I'm using a more aesthetic template for the trainers. One thing I noticed was the D/P walkthrough just pulls the trainer and Pokémon data straight out of the pages of the routes and locations. While in yours and mine we had to do a little editing for it to fit in the template, which seems tedious but at the same time it doesn't take up so much space on the page. Should we just keep at that? I think that's one of the things that needs to be updated in the standards list.As for b. I think all the routes and locations should be listed on the normal appendix page despite the extra space.--[[User:Jello|Jello]] 18:10, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

::I agree with b., since one of my secondary goals on wiki work is keeping it simple and create less hassle. Also a new surprise is that right now I am aware that another member of this project KCorp4000 whom I worked with before, has been working on new template designs in his [[User:KCorp4000/Sandbox|sandbox]] for Trainers, Pokémon, and Items and it will be awhile. But once that is finalized then I will help out with the redesign upgrade, that is why I am also not updating any older template designs on earlier walkthrough parts for Ruby and Sapphire to avoid too much hassle. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 02:44, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

:::Actually, that was EXACTLY what I was looking for/had in mind for template designs, since the one's that are currently used do take up a lot of space on the walkthrough pages. I wasn't aware there was someone working on those designs. I would love to see these get implemented soon. Do you know exactly how long it would take if it were to happen? I would also like to help out with the redesign upgrade. The completed walkthroughs so far could so some work too. --[[User:Jello|Jello]] 03:31, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

::::He'll contact me once he's done and got approval from the Editor in Chief TTEchidna. I have already been communicating with him to address any important flaws. But on this end I would want to help dealing with creating any good set of standard rules for this project to use to also help with quality of structure by using the best ideas that are feasible for use. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 04:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, this project is somewhat neglected, though there is a core group of dedicated members who still contribute. However, I don't believe that it is an obsolete endeavor - why should Bulbapedia send viewers to Strategy Wiki, rather than be the one-stop site for the most accurate and in-depth information? Any given walkthrough can only be written so quickly, especially if only one or two people are working on it. The rather low number of active editors up against the sheer number of games that there are to cover is not a battle that can be won quickly, but persistence is key. I would know - since I first started editing for this project last July, I've since completed the guides for Red/Blue, Yellow, and Gold/Silver basically on my own. Walkthroughs are not encyclopedic articles, so like ForceFire said above, using "you" when referring to the player is permitted, though substituting that for "the player" or something similar would certainly help to make the walkthroughs look more in line with the rest of the wiki, and hopefully that would get it taken seriously. I don't know who described Elm as a geezer, but it's an opinion, and not the formal language we should really be using. 
My opinions in response to your four points, Tyler: 
* The editor's personal strategy has no place here. It is up to the reader to decide how they want to play the game - their strategy for raising or battling may be different. While the story always progresses the same way, there is no single greatest method to follow.
* The basic appendix pages should list every major location for a given subpage. While it may add a little extra to the page, it helps people track the storyline. If all that was listed was "Part # - From <here> to <there>", readers would have to guess if what they were looking for is in ''this'' section, or ''that'' one.
* Things that are less important should be mentioned briefly, if at all. A quick mention in the main body of a location's text is probably best for now. Things of lesser value on the first visit, but will play a larger role later on (like Ecruteak City, and later Tin Tower), should use the '''Later...''' heading to indicate that.
* Individual pages should try to keep it short. While they shouldn't be as short as possible, it's not great to let a page get too large either. <big></rant></big> 
Like he said, I have been working on ideas in [[User:KCorp4000/Sandbox|my sandbox]] to upgrade the way we present a locations data, specifically for Trainers, Pokémon, and Items. I'm pretty happy with how everything there looks right now. If anyone has any ideas or comments, please post them [[User talk:KCorp4000/Sandbox|here]]. TTE basically has final say, but it's up to us to think something up. Those templates are what we'll hopefully use in all the walkthroughs, so if anyone has a way to improve something, just let me know. ;) --[[User:KCorp4000|'''''K''''''''''C''''']] [[User talk:KCorp4000|'''''4000''''']] 19:38, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

I agree that is why I put down the fourth objects because it is also pointless to create too many or too few pages for each game. Take a look at [[Appendix:HeartGold and SoulSilver walkthrough/Section 1|section 1]] of HeartGold and SoulSilvers' walkthrough which is pretty much very short. That is a reason why I suggested the fourth proposal to help the structure. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 00:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
:I think there should be separate styles for different series, unless the style that's decided can be universally used by those that are done, those that aren't, and those that haven't been decided to have a walkthrough yet but should. I doubt that it'll be possible for Ranger to follow the same style as Mystery Dungeon or the main series. Besides, separate styles could make each walkthrough better as they'll fit right into the series. Also, this has nothing to do with style, but I think there should also be walkthroughs for Trozei!, Puzzle League and Challenge, the TCG video games, Poképark Wii, Hey You Pikachu! (if there is even a storyline. I remember there being missions, so the walkthrough could be divided by location), Pokémon Channel (same case as Hey You Pikachu!, though I don't know if there are missions) Mystery Dungeon Wiiware, the Pinball (same thing as Channel), Stadium series (Gym Leader Tower), and Snap (same thing as Channel), as well as other games that don't have walkthroughs but could.

== Structure of a page ("Pokémon ... Version") ==
=== Top ===
:When focusing on a pair of older versions that have since been remade, the page should link to the target pair, the remake pair, and the appendix page for the remake pair's walkthrough.

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the original [[Game Boy]] version, not {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[FrLg walkthrough section 01|here]].</center>

-----

=== Headlines ===
:Each route or city should be included in a level-2 headline.
::<code> == Pallet Town == </code>

 
:Also, any important locations found within a route should be included in a level-3 headline within that route's section.
::<code> == Route 120 == </code>
::<code> === Ancient Tomb === </code>

=== Images ===
:There should be map image posted for every new location visited by the player. The image can be placed on either the left or right side of the page near that area's level-2 headline, and should use the "thumb" option to show a thumbnail of the larger image.
::<nowiki> == Route 20 == </nowiki>
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|Route 20]] </nowiki>

 
:If the image needs to be shrunk/expanded to fit the page, then include ###px.
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|</nowiki>{{color|{{red color}}|150px}}<nowiki>|Route 20]] </nowiki>

=== Trainers ===

<pre>

:The Trainer battle information should be included wherever a Trainer battle can take place, and should be placed on the left side of the page.

=== Pokémon ===
:Every location where the player can obtain a Pokémon, wild or gift, should include the following details for each:
::* name
::* encounter rate
::* level(s)
::* area details, such as Grass, Cave, Fishing, Surfing, etc.
:This information, taken from the specific location's page, should be placed on the collapsible background, colored according to the version(s).

==== When time of day is not used ====
:Locations in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]], and other areas where time of day does not affect encounter rates, should use this template:

:Each group of Pokémon should be listed with the highest encounter rate first, and decreasing from there. If more than one Pokémon species have the same percent, they should then be listed in National Dex order. 

=== Bosses ===
==== Gym battles ====
:Each section that focuses on a city's Gym should use the following, which includes the Gym name, badge image, junior Trainer(s), and Gym Leader.

== Structure of a page ("Pokémon ... Version") ==
=== Top ===
:When focusing on a pair of older versions that have since been remade, the page should link to the target pair, the remake pair, and the appendix page for the remake pair's walkthrough.

<center> This is the Bulbapedia walkthrough for [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. This walkthrough follows the original [[Game Boy]] version, not {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The guide for those can be found [[FrLg walkthrough section 01|here]].</center>

-----

=== Headlines ===
:Each route or city should be included in a level-2 headline.
::<code> == Pallet Town == </code>

 
:Also, any important locations found within a route should be included in a level-3 headline within that route's section.
::<code> == Route 120 == </code>
::<code> === Ancient Tomb === </code>

=== Images ===
:There should be map image posted for every new location visited by the player. The image can be placed on either the left or right side of the page near that area's level-2 headline, and should use the "thumb" option to show a thumbnail of the larger image.
::<nowiki> == Route 20 == </nowiki>
::<nowiki> [[Image:Route 20.png|thumb|right|Route 20]] </nowiki>

 
:If the image needs to be shrunk/expanded to fit the page, then include ###px.

::* encounter rate
::* level(s)
::* area details, such as Grass, Cave, Fishing, Surfing, etc.
:This information, taken from the specific location's page, should be placed on the collapsible background, colored according to the version(s).

==== When time of day is not used ====

The '''Sinnoh''' region (pronounced /ˈsɪnno/) (Japanese: '''シンオウ地方''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] in the [[Pokémon world]], the setting of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}, southern part of the Russian island of {{wp|Kunashir}} and the Northeastern island near Sinnoh resembles part of the Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}}, which are claimed by the Japanese government, and according to the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Sinnoh region is located north of the [[Kanto]] region.

==Geography==
===Environment===
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. The region also features full-land geography, with only five [[sea route]]s. Despite this lack of sea routes, a direct opposite of the [[Hoenn]] region, the Sinnoh region is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent that are home to the members of [[lake guardians|one of the legendary trios of Sinnoh]]. Near Lake Valor, as well, there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]].

Due to its large size, the main region of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional speciation, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Pokémon Gym]]s, and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home, however, to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area, likely due to the harsh snows that blow down from the mountain's peak, making the area not only very cold, but as well making a trip northward very perilous. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint as well has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like how people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: One of these, of course, is the southern entrance that Trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, through a special event, of course, leads the [[Seabreak Path]] to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Climate===
The Sinnoh region holds a vast arrange of climates. Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is located in the south where the climate is warmer, Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler. It is so cold in the northern part of the region, it snows constantly. At one point in Sinnoh, it is actually possible to travel on a [[Route 217|route covered in snow]]. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] have been completely covered in snow, while Pokémon who live around the area have adapted to their new climate change. However recently, the region has become cooler on the southern side as climate change take part on the region. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201}} have now been a subject to snow.

Another new weather condition introduced was the fog condition, which can be found on {{rt|210}} however can be cleared easily. The fog is like a thick blanket that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see.

===Routes===
Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201}} to {{rtn|230}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. The idea of routes with differing [[weather conditions]] was also brought ahead from [[Generation III]]. For the first time ever in a Pokémon game, some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them.

Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212}} and {{rt|210}}, which both have two limbs of equal length. While Hoenn's {{rt|114}} did this on the [[Game Boy Advance]], it was not to this scale, so one may presume that the GBA was limited in this sense.

==League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}

The Sinnoh League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Sinnoh region. The [[Elite Four]] and the [[Champion]] are located at the {{si|Pokémon League}}.

==Trivia==
* Sinnoh's [[Gym Leader]]s each use a type that has previously been seen in another region's Gym. Four of them were first seen in [[Kanto]]; in fact, they are the same types as the first four Gyms of Kanto: {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Grass}}. Similarly, the other four were first seen in [[Johto]], and are the same as the fourth through seventh Gyms of that region: {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Steel}}, and {{t|Ice}}.
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mt. Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle. This formation is also repeated in many places having to do with [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Sinnoh is the only region of the main series games that has more than five letters in its name.
* Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is considered to be tropical, or the relatively temperate [[Kanto]]-[[Johto]] landmass, Sinnoh is shown to be farther north and much colder. This is shown by the cold weather around [[Snowpoint City]] and the routes leading to it, and the fact that {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} all wear scarves, and in {{v2|Platinum}}, much heavier jackets and clothes and scarves than have been seen by other {{player}} characters.
* In game, Sinnoh is the largest region yet, disregarding the visitable area in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} of [[Kanto]] and the [[Sevii Islands]].
* Sinnoh is also the only area traveled through where all the Gym Leaders that have been featured have appeared in an episode before Ash battled them.
* If a Pokémon hatches in an area exclusive to Platinum, then subsequently traded to Diamond and Pearl, its met location will display as "[[Faraway place]]" , despite the fact that these areas (with the exception of the Distortion World and the Battle Frontier) are all within the Sinnoh region.
*Sinnoh has introduced the largest amount of [[legendary Pokémon]], introducing 14.
*Interestingly, Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (DS)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, while coincidentally, Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, were released in Japan in that year. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996, Johto is 2004, not 1999, and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from Kanto do when traded to Emerald.
*Sinnoh is the only region so far which does not have any [[Pokémon Gym]]s on outlying islands, with all of them being on the main continent.
*Sinnoh is the only region so far to have all [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] in a city.
*Sinnoh, unlike the other three main regions, does not have a boat on which the player can battle other Trainers.
*Sinnoh has the most places to fly out of all regions, the count being eighteen.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Ruby Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタールビー''' ''Pocket Monsters Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Sapphire Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターサファイア''' ''Pocket Monsters Sapphire'') are the eighth and ninth Pokémon games released in Japan, beginning [[Generation III]] on November 21, 2002. As was now standard, they are paired versions based in a new region, [[Hoenn]], each having Pokémon exclusive to one game or the other.

Like {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} before them, Ruby and Sapphire introduced many new Pokémon, with the 135 Pokémon released bringing the running total to 386. Unlike Gold and Silver, however, Ruby and Sapphire have lost backwards compatibility with previous games, due to the difficulty of communications between Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance games. Due to this, many internal aspects of Pokémon were able to be expanded, with [[nature]]s now altering stats, an expanded [[IV]] system, and a new cap on a Pokémon's stats based on [[EV]]s.

Ruby and Sapphire introduced [[Pokémon Contest]]s, which allow Trainers to use their Pokémon in a manner aside from battle, and introduce another {{ho|Battle Tower}} for competitive play. Like all paired games beforehand, Ruby and Sapphire were followed by a third version, {{v2|Emerald}}, two years later, and together became the best-selling [[Game Boy Advance]] games of all time.

==New features==
* A completely new region - [[Hoenn]].
* 135 new Pokémon, bringing the National Pokédex number to 386.
* Over 100 new [[move]]s.
* Pokémon now have [[ability|special abilities]].
* New [[elemental type]] combinations such as {{2t|Water|Grass}} and {{2t|Ghost|Dark}}.
* [[Pokémon Contest]]s that allow Pokémon to compete in five different areas.
* [[Running Shoes]] were introduced.
* A separate "icon" for each [[Pokémon]], though the icons are the same for {{p|Spinda}}.
* [[Double battle]]s which have two Pokémon go against two others.
* Another new list of [[TM]]s, with some staying from Generations I and II.
* [[Weather conditions|Weather effects]] on the field in certain areas.
* A new [[weather conditions|weather condition]] - {{DL|Weather conditions|Hail}}.
* A brand new set of [[Berry|berries]].
* A [[mixing records]] function, which can be performed with two to four players.
* A [[Pokéblock]] making function, which can be performed alone, or with up to four players.

==Storyline==
{{spoilers}}
The trainer first starts when, as always, the {{player}} is asked by one of the {{pkmn|Professor}}s (in this case, [[Professor Birch]]) what gender he or she is, and what her/his name is. After that, the trainer will be in a moving van. This moving van comes from [[Johto]], where the family first lived, but they moved after the trainer's father, [[Norman]] became leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. After the van has gone, he or she will enter a house (the house of the trainer, to be exact) and there will be {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. After some dialogue with the mother of the trainer, the trainer will have to meet Professor Birch, but he appears to be out in the field, so he must be found.

Upon encountering him, he will be chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}, and he will ask the trainer to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his backpack, lying on the ground. Here, the trainer has to choose if he/she wants a {{p|Treecko}}, a {{p|Torchic}}, or a {{p|Mudkip}}. Furthermore, the usual story of the Pokémon game is followed, and the trainer gets some [[Poké Ball]]s, and sets out to become a Pokémon Master (and of course, he or she's ''gotta catch 'em all'').

Before the trainer leaves, however, he or she obtains the running shoes from his/her mother. The trainer then continues through Hoenn, defeating [[Team Magma]] or [[Team Aqua]] in places, depending on the version. Using {{m|Rock Smash}}, the trainer finishes the [[Rusturf Tunnel]], he or she rescues the {{p|Wailmer}} in [[Lilycove City]], saves the world from either {{p|Groudon}} (in Ruby) or {{p|Kyogre}} (in Sapphire), and does many other things, too countless to name.

Finally, the [[Elite Four]] is defeated, and just when [[Steven Stone]] crowns the trainer as [[champion]], the rival interrupts, not realizing that the battle already has ended.

After that, the rival finds out the battle is already over, and Professor Birch comes in. He congratulates the trainer, and takes a look at the trainer's Pokédex. Then, the trainer is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits begin.

After the credits, the trainer starts back at his/her home in [[Littleroot Town]]. Downstairs, Norman will give the character the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the {{ho|Battle Tower}} The player will also have the ability to encounter {{p|Rayquaza}} at the [[Sky Pillar]], as well as finding either {{p|Latios}}{{tt|*|Ruby Players}} or {{p|Latias}}{{tt|*|Sapphire Players}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} around Hoenn.

==Blurb==
"Immerse yourself in the beautiful region of Hoenn, a place of masterful heroes and mysterious teams, of friendship and battles. As the new kid in town, you set off your journey as a Pokémon Trainer. Who knows what wonders and dangers await you? Now it's time to grab your gear and head out on your own..."

==Glitches==
Most Pokémon games had some [[glitch]]es, as did these. One of these is the infamous [[berry glitch]], which made most time based events, such as berry growing, impossible after the game had been owned for a year, or played for over 100 hours. This glitch is able to be corrected, however, by downloading the berry patch from either the [[Pokémon Colosseum]] bonus disc, or {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. These games also host several [[glitch Pokémon]], such as [[Ten question marks|??????????]] or [[Bad egg]].

==Compatibility==
Unlike [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|previous games]], Ruby and Sapphire were not backward compatible with Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}. This prompted remakes of the original games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. [[trade|Trading]] between these games and the third Hoenn-based game, {{game|Emerald}}, is possible.

While Ruby and Sapphire cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] games {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred via [[Pal Park]], and some {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]].

==Reception==
Both games were well received, receiving a perfect 5 star rating from GamePro.<ref>[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/28564/pokemon-ruby-and-sapphire-versions/ Pokemon Sapphire Version Review from GamePro] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> IGN commented that they where a "wonderful GBA follow-up to the immense Game Boy blockbuster".<ref>[http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html IGN: Pokemon Ruby Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, some reviews criticized the repetitive nature of the games, with Eurogamer commenting that "apart from the occasional tense battle with a Gym Leader and the more sophisticated opponents later on in the game, the constant fighting and collecting mechanic gets very tired, very fast".<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_pokemonrubysapphire_gba Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire Review | GBA | Eurogamer] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The games received an average score of 82% on Metacritic.<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonruby?q=pokemon Pokemon Ruby (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Awards==
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire got the 10th spot on IGN's top 25 Gameboy Advance Games of all time.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/772/772284p4.html IGN: Top 25 Game Boy Advance Games of All Time] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Trivia==
* Along with {{v2|Emerald}}, they are the only games in the main series where the [[player character|player]] cannot choose a name for his/her rival at the start of the game.
* Along with {{v2|Emerald}}, they are the only games in the main series where [[Professor Oak]] does not make an appearance.
* They are also the only games in the main series where the rival is never encountered with his/her starter in final stage.
* After release, an unknown person [[Hack games|hacked]] and distributed a version of Sapphire for [[Game Boy Color]].
* They were released in Japan on the third anniversary of the Japanese release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* Ruby and Sapphire are the first main series games in which [[Kanto]] is inaccessible.
* Ruby and Sapphire's colors, along with Emerald's, are the same as Pokémon Red, Blue, and Green, the first generation games.
* Players encounter the least amount of [[in-game trade]]s in Ruby and Sapphire, with only three total.
* A special promotional coin featuring Groudon and Kyogre were available with American preorders of Ruby and Sapphire, respectively.
[[File:Early Ruby boxart.jpg|thumb||130px|right|Early Ruby box art; note the version logo.]]
[[File:Early Sapphire boxart.jpg|thumb|130px|left|Early Sapphire box art; note the version logo.]]
* The original box art for these games showed the "[NAME] VERSION" below the mascot Pokémon with a regular font as in the Generation I and II games; the final version used the "[NAME] VERSION" logo that was used from then on until {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* On the English Ruby and Sapphire box art, the Pokémon logo has the registered trademark symbol(®). However, the in-game title screen has the trademark symbol(™).
* These were the first Pokémon games to have a framerate of 60. This change carried over to FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald. However, the framerate was downgraded to 30 in the Generation IV games.
* Ruby & Sapphire are the first main- series games to not use the then- slogan "Gotta catch 'em all!".

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Crystal}}

'''Pokémon Crystal Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタークリスタルバージョン''' ''Pocket Monsters Crystal Version'') is the sixth Pokémon game in the [[Version|main series]]; however, in Japan it was actually the seventh Pokémon game. It was released as a sister game of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, which were released one year before. It featured various fixes and some new additions, including the short animations of Pokémon's battle sprites upon being released from their [[Poké Ball]] and the introduction of the option to play a {{ga|Kris|girl}} [[Player character|character]], among others. It takes place in the region of [[Johto]] (and later in the game, [[Kanto]]) and the player's starting area is [[New Bark Town]].

==Plot==
[[Team Rocket]] has returned with a new attitude, since the disappearance of their leader [[Giovanni]], and once again tries to take over the world, starting with the Johto region. They begin with petty things (such as cutting off the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}} to sell as food for a high price) before becoming more devious, such as a plan to use radio frequencies to artificially induce evolution in some Pokémon, as well as trying to contact their missing leader using radio broadcasts.

The player is called to [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to run an errand. He gives the player the choice of taking along one of three different Pokémon. {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}}. The player, known by default as Gold or Kris, meets [[Kanto]]'s own [[Professor Oak]] during an errand for Elm. Oak, convinced that the player has started his own Pokémon journey, gives him a [[Pokédex]]. On the way back Gold is attacked by a spiteful and mysterious Pokémon trainer. Upon his return to New Bark Town, Gold is informed that someone has broke into Professor Elm's lab and has stolen a Pokémon, the same Pokémon that the trainer from earlier battled with; even more so, the trainer fits the description of the Pokémon thief. This character's default name is {{ga|Silver}}. Like most rivals, he will take the Pokémon that has a type advantage over the player's chosen one. For example, if the player chooses Chikorita, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, he will choose Cyndaquil, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, giving it an advantage over the Grass-type Chikorita. He will battle the player at certain points in the game to test the player's Pokémon; being defeated is an indication for the player to level up his or her team.

Throughout the adventure, the player will also come across a man named [[Eusine]], hopeful of catching the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Suicune}}. To earn Suicune's respect, Eusine will challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}} once.

==Features==
===Changes from Gold and Silver===
* Another character, [[Eusine]], is added to the game. He is searching for {{p|Suicune}} as well, and will battle [[Player character|players]] to earn its respect.
* Both {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} can be found in this game; Lugia in the [[Whirl Islands]], and Ho-Oh at the [[Tin Tower]]. They are both level 60 when they are caught. However, Ho-Oh cannot be caught until {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are all caught.
* Changes were made to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. This included more common {{p|Unown}}, as well as a new subplot – completing enough puzzles allows the player to read a secret message left behind by the Unown. It suggests that the Unown were left behind by the ancient civilization that constructed the Ruins of Alph, and that the statues that line the interior were made by the Unown.
* Extra grass was added to the route west of [[Violet City]], and in this grass, {{p|Growlithe}} can be caught, allowing players to acquire a {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon much earlier than in other versions (assuming they did not [[Starter Pokémon|choose]] {{p|Cyndaquil}}), and making a large difference in the availability of Fire-types for areas like the [[Azalea Town|Azalea]] Gym and the [[Sprout Tower]], where Fire-types are super-effective. Areas like the [[Ice Path]] and [[Lance]]'s chamber at the [[Indigo Plateau]] received alternate designs as well.
[[File:CrystalBattle.gif|frame|right|Pokémon sprites are now animated]]
* Players can now catch certain Pokémon that were exclusive to either Gold or Silver. For example, {{p|Gligar}} and {{p|Skarmory}} are both catchable in this game but were exclusive to only a certain version previously.
* {{p|Sneasel}} appears in the [[Ice Path]], whereas in Gold and Silver it did not appear until reaching [[Mt. Silver]].
* {{p|Magmar}} no longer appears in [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]], instead appearing exclusively in Mt. Silver.
* Previously, Trainers who called on the [[PokéGear#Phone|cell phone]] all said the same thing with only the names of the Pokémon they reference changing. Trainers are now given distinct personalities (one talks about shopping, another about grooming), and call for reasons other than battling, such as giving the player items or informing them of a rare Pokémon appearing (Wade gives the player [[Berries]], Alan gives them a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, etc).
* Raikou, Entei, and Suicune have their own special battle music when the player encounters them in the wild, making Crystal the first game to sport special [[legendary Pokémon]] battle music.
* Some Trainers were repositioned on the map.
* Suicune, instead of being a side legendary Pokémon, has a prominent role in the game's storyline. The player will constantly find Suicune in various locations throughout Johto. After receiving a [[Clear Bell]] (where in Gold and Silver the [[Rainbow Wing|Rainbow]] or [[Silver Wing]] would be obtained instead), the player will have a chance to battle and capture it in the [[Tin Tower]], and it will not run away.
* The [[Buena's Password]] radio show was added, which players can listen to on their [[PokéGear]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.
* The chain of events to obtain the [[Rising Badge]] is altered. Where previously, it involved a trip to the [[Dragon's Den]] to retrieve the [[Dragon Fang]], it now involves entering the Dragon Shrine within the Den. There, [[Clair]]'s grandfather and leader of the dragon-user clan quizzes the player on their style of battling. Clair arrives and still refuses to hand over her badge after the player passes. In response, her grandfather threatens to tell Lance, of whom Clair is terrified. If all the questions are answered correctly, the player will receive a {{p|Dratini}} that knows {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} upon returning and speaking with Clair's grandfather.
* The [[Pokémon Daycare]] folk will give a free [[Pokémon egg]] to the player.
* The "reset the clock" [[glitch]] from Pokémon Gold and Silver was fixed.
* Pokémon sprites are now animated, a feature that would not be seen again until {{game|Emerald}}.

===Changes from the Japanese version of Crystal===
[[Image:CrystalJapanese.png|thumb|right|175px|Japanese version box art.]]
The English version of Crystal, while improving on the mechanics of Gold and Silver, did not reprise a number of newer features that the Japanese version had received:

* In the Japanese version, {{p|Celebi}} may be caught in the [[Ilex Forest]] after completing a short side-mission. A special mobile event allowed players to obtain, via mobile phone link-up, the [[GS Ball]]. This item, given by a nurse in the Pokémon Communication Center in Goldenrod City, may be taken to [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] to investigate. After a day passes, taking the GS Ball to the shrine in Ilex Forest summons a [[level]] 30 {{p|Celebi}} to battle. Despite the fact that the GS Ball was unavailable without the use of a cheating device like [[GameShark]], the event was translated, indicating that it was intended for the English releases to include the event, but was later scrapped.
* [[Goldenrod City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] was replaced by a much larger building, the aforementioned Pokémon Communication Center.
* Players could link to [[trade]] or [[Pokémon battle|battle]] through the use of a mobile phone adapter.
* Players could leave a Pokémon and a request the Pokémon species that it be traded for at the Pokémon Communication Center's Trade Corner. A player could also view Pokémon up for trade from other players, and trade with them. This feature was later used for the [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Generation IV]].
* The News Machine at the Pokémon Communication Center updated over the Mobile Adapter. Pokémon News was compiled from the save data of players across Japan, allowing players to read about other players' adventures.
* The old man at the Pokémon Daycare south of Goldenrod City gave an Egg Ticket which, when taken to the Trade Center at the Pokémon Communication Center, could be traded for an Odd Egg which carried a rare {{shiny2}} baby Pokémon knowing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. In the English version the old man instead gives away the egg itself.

===Gyms===
As in Pokémon Gold and Silver, there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Johto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Falkner]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Bugsy]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Whitney]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Morty]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Chuck]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Jasmine]] ({{t|Steel}}), [[Pryce]] ({{t|Ice}}) and [[Clair]] ({{t|Dragon}}). Once again, as in Pokémon Gold and Silver, Kanto is accessible after defeating the Elite Four, allowing players to visit the eight Pokémon Gyms in the region, even though there have been some changes. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Janine]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}) and {{ga|Blue}} (various).

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four, located at the [[Indigo Plateau]], also remained unchanged. The Elite trainers are [[Will]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), and [[Karen]] ({{t|Dark}}); the [[Champion]] is [[Lance]], who uses {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Pokémon===
Each game contains pre-recorded data on all 251 Pokémon of [[Generation II|this]] and the [[Generation I|previous]] generation (including {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}). Despite this, not all Pokémon are available to the player, regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats. Mew (the Nintendo exclusive of Generation I) and Celebi are the only Pokémon in Gold and Silver that ''must'' be acquired through the attending of a Nintendo sponsored event.

====Pokémon not found in Crystal====
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]], as they cannot be found in Pokémon Crystal.

===PokéGear===
The PokéGear is received at the beginning of the game from the protagonist's mother. It has several functions, some of which will need to be unlocked during the game by receiving special expansion cards. The PokéGear displays the day of the week and the time of day, entered at the beginning of the game, a map of Johto (and later Kanto) once the Map Card is obtained, a cellphone, allowing the user to make calls to people that they've traded phone numbers with, and a radio which allows the player to get tips from Professor Oak and [[DJ Mary]] on Oak's Pokémon Talk, affect how active wild Pokémon are by playing Pokémon March or Pokémon Lullaby on the [[Pokémon Music]] station, listen to the [[Lucky Channel]] to keep track of the Radio Tower's lottery promotion, or tune into [[Buena's Password]] and receive points in order to redeem prizes.

===Apricorns===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in this game. A [[Lure Ball]] is more effective if used against a Pokémon caught with a [[Fishing|fishing rod]], and a [[Friend Ball]] will make a Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its trainer much more quickly. To obtain these balls, [[Apricorn]]s must be picked from special plants found throughout Johto, and [[Kurt]] in [[Azalea Town]] will fashion these into the different balls based on their color. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, only one Poké Ball can be created at once; in Crystal this changed so that the player could create multiple balls simultaneously, provided the Apricorns were of the same color. Players must wait until the next day for Kurt to finish the ball. In Generation III, other specialized balls were made and the Apricorn balls were not included. However, they returned in Generation IV, but only in the games HeartGold and SoulSilver, and not in Diamond, Pearl and Platinum.

===Kanto===
The Generation II incarnation of Kanto remained the same as in Pokémon Gold and Silver, though some of the wild Pokémon that appeared were altered.

==New features==
While Gold and Silver introduced the majority of Generation II's contributions to the game mechanics, Crystal also featured several additions to the franchise that would continue even into Generation IV. Crystal introduced the option to play as a female. The game also featured the first [[move tutor]] of the series, as well as the first {{jo|Battle Tower}}. The Japanese version of Crystal also introduced the ability to link to a wireless connection and interact with other characters (via cell phone). The [[GBA Wireless Adapter|Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]] also enabled this ability in [[Generation III]], and the Wi-Fi capabilities of the [[Nintendo DS]] completely optimized the concept in [[Generation IV]] games.

==Reception==
Pokémon Crystal received good reviews, although they were not quite as positive as those of Pokémon Gold and Silver. Like Pokémon Yellow before it, and subsequently Pokémon Emerald, it was criticized for being too similar to its sister games, with IGN commenting, "there's not much in this edition that makes it a 'must buy' for folks who already own a copy or two of the previous editions".<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/165/165402p1.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> IGN still gave the game an "Outstanding" rating of 9/10.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/objects/015/015402.html IGN: Pokemon Crystal Version (Pokemon Crystal)] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> The game received an average score of near 80% from GameRankings<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/375087-pokemon-crystal-version/index.html Pokemon Crystal Version for Game Boy Color - GameRankings] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>, about 10% lower than Pokémon Gold and Silver.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/index.html Pokemon Gold Version for Game Boy Color] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Trivia==
* People buying a [[Game Boy Color]] during the release of this game were given the option of buying a [[Game Boy Advance]] that came with Pokémon Crystal in the package.
* Due to the {{ga|Kris|female character}} not being in Gold or Silver, the sprite of the character will automatically change to the {{ga|Gold|male character}}'s sprite when trading or battling with Gold or Silver.
* Why the [[GS Ball]]-related events are not available in the English version has never been officially revealed; Nintendo says that they had FCC issues, but it is more likely a result of children with cell phones being not nearly as common outside of Japan in 2001, and to the plethora of different styles of phones in use in North America. While the mobile adapter system did not make the cut, the maps and text for the system can still be found in the English version, indicating that it was initially intended for the English release.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only [[Version#Paired versions and third versions|third version]] to have its [[version mascot]] come before the version mascots of the other two games of its generation in the [[National Pokédex]].
* Pokémon Crystal is also the only third version in a generation with three legendary version mascots to have its version mascot not in a [[legendary trio]] with the other two.
* Although {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} are compatible with both the regular [[Game Boy]] and the [[Game Boy Color]] as well as with the [[Game Boy Advance]] (including the [[Game Boy Advance SP]]), Crystal will work only on the latter two. This is due to the cartridges being of different models. However, it will not work on a [[Game Boy micro]] or a [[Nintendo DS]] because they only support Game Boy Advance games.
* Pokémon Crystal was the first game to include animated sprites for Pokémon, though this only applies to front sprites (back sprites remain still as they did in previous games). This feature was absent in later games until it was reintroduced in {{game|Emerald}}, after which it became standard. Back sprites did not become fully animated until {{game|Platinum}}, which also added animations for important Trainers such as [[Gym Leader]]s.
* Pokémon Crystal is the only version in Japanese to have the term "Version" in its name. This may be because it is the first game whose name is in katakana, rather than kanji, using an English word (クリスタル ''Crystal'') rather than the Japanese 結晶 (けっしょう ''Kessho''). All later games, whose names are in katakana (including the remakes of Red and Green and Gold and Silver) do not have バージョン ''Version'' added to the end, despite all using English words.
* Pokémon Crystal is the last main- series game to use the then- slogan "Gotta Catch 'em All!".

==In other languages==
* '''French''': ''Version Cristal''
* '''Spanish''': ''Edición Cristal''
* '''Italian''': ''Versione Cristallo''
* '''German''': ''Crystal Edition''

Spritemaster: /* Nothing fancy... */

== Introduction ==

Hey, I'm Spritemaster. I'm a NJ Pokémon fan who has viewed Bulbapedia for two years.
My name comes from my ongoing projects of Pokemon sprite work. In other words, I created custom sprite (Devamps, re- color) designs for anyone who wishes to use them. I do, however, go to school, so my projects will take time as i juggle school. Great artist- do not do request for people.

== Home Made Stuff ==

Due to my knowledge of the internet, I was able to begin the my sprite projects. My current project is a reduced devamp of the Hoenn region. I will post the completed photo's as time goes on. I also drew a rough of a custom region: Mai- sho. The Mai- sho is not under my sprite project, but as of 08/22/09, I did the first two towns/ routes of Hoenn.

== Pokémon HG/SS Thoughts ==

As with all Pokémon fans, I too want Pokémon Heart Gold & Soul Silver. From what I know, it has been redone unlike any other region to date. From the U.S. trailer, it looks like Japan. The video showed Gold and Totodile on a water (no doubt Route 34), and you notice trees uselly found in Japan. This could mean that Nintendo has really spent time on these remakes. Trees are another topic. In one area of Johto, the trees are golden, and the pathways are covered with leaves. This gives off a fall like sense to the game. New Bark Town is very good, but the idea of wind currents makes it a special town (as it finally matches it's moto!)

== Favorite Pokémon ==

Out of all 493 Pokémon, I personally like Darkrai, Shaymin, and Bulbasaur.
*Darkrai is the best Pokémon to be potrayed as a Dark- type (in my opinion). The way it appears in Platinum has truly showed of what it's own type is, and should be. My first one was from the May 31, 2008 Toys 'R' Us giveaway. The second is for the Pokémon Platinum Member's Card giveaway.
*Shaymin is in my thoughts the coolest grass Pokémon ever. It's Land Forme I can make do, but it's Sky Forme is my all time fav. It's so cool to it in S.F. because of it's stance and the way it uses Seed Flare.
*Bulbasaur is no doubt the most resourceful starter Pokémon. I own Red,Blue,Yellow(all originally mine), and when I get Bulbasaur, it is my main Pokemon to use against gyms. As stated in the site, Bulbasaur has an advantege over 6 gyms, something other starters can never rivial.

== Mai- sho Region ==

I've recenlty dicthed my Hoenn devamp for the Mai- sho region. I have also begun to make numurous pages releated to my new project. I will say this now: this is NOT a Bulbapedia Project. But feel free to leave me tips, thoughts, etc. for me to read. Here's only page right now:

==A note to editors==
The page will be staying locked for a little bit longer. There is a lot of information to process, and if everybody tries to edit this page at once, there are going to be lots of edit conflicts. This can result in server stress, and also may prevent genuine information from being added. So just wait for a bit. If you've got something to add, doublecheck that it isn't there already and make a new section on this page. The administrators will add it to the article in time, provided it isn't baseless and has been confirmed either by our own editors playing through the games, or a number of other websites. We will unlock the page once the traffic has slowed a little. Thank you. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 01:42, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

== Less notable/important aesthetic changes? ==

I'm not sure about this or not, but is it worthwhile at all to mention somewhere these two cosmetic changes:

* Water flowing can now be heard when standing near a body of water.
* The Magnet Train's tracks now appear overground (like on Route 32).

'''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 03:24, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
:Cheers. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:36, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

*Just an addition to TheChrisD's posts, the game also has more sound effects in the overworld. Aside from the sound of water flowing, other sounds include the sound of the windmill when standing next to a windmill in New Bark Town and even just the sound of the player's walking on tall and short grass if you listen carefully.
*Also, the Running Shoes can be put on via Touch Screen, allowing the player to run without having to hold the B button.

Hey can we not have Bulbasaur link to Deoxys in the directory? We're going to get new pokemon and it'd just be better to not have the pokemon in a loop. It'd save sanity for when we get the 4th Gen. I'm trying to fix it now[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 21:07, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How so? Just change Deoxys on the Bulbasaur page to whatever the new last one should be when necessary - a single page edit. It's not like there's going to be tons of new pokemon every day. [[User:Sheep|Sheep]] 21:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

No Deo-Bulba link. It's not circular. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:53, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Before all these Pokemon pages are redone, should nav be up on top as well as on bottom, or easily locating the nav, no matter how long the page? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

This doesn't really relate, but could we add some possibilities to what certain Pokemon are based off of? As well as what names seem to be based off of? Like Bulbasaur=bulb+dinosaur, or Bulbasaur appears to be a dinosaur? Just asking here because it's a Pokemon page with lots of activity

------

I'm going to try to automate changing all the navigations for all the Pokemon. Hopefully no one starts editing before I get my script working. I may still be a good hour away from perfecting it. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]
----------------

Great. I don't feel like changing them all since we spent so long putting them there to begin with. [[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 01:46, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

-----------

Can you believe I spend *36* minutes trying to get this working, trying things, and the problem with my script was an "&" missing? I'll start mass-updating the pages after I ensure there are no problems, and write a looper. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]
-------------------------

I can believe it. But, I thought we weren't going to loop to Deoxys? Evan said we weren't It's going to be a bit of a pain with the new Pokemon. Not to mention we have to put Munchlax and Rukario in there somewhere.[[User:LedianX|LedianX]] 02:59, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

----------

Would there be a template problem without the looping? If not, then anyone can freely unloop them. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

There is so far. I'm debating whether to make a special template for Deo and Bulba.

----
That should be easy enough. Make a "next" template and a "previous" template, and have the NextPrevious template combine these, right? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

Perhaps - the problem would then be developing a template to wrap the blue box around it. Or we could just cheat and duplicate code as needed. (Also, I thought you had the Bulbabot account at your disposal to do these automatic changes (they pollute the Recent changes page otherwise)). Also, your bot is a little too overzealous with the &lt; conversion - some HTML tags are also valid in Wiki. - [[User:Zhen Lin|刘 (劉) 振霖]] 07:15, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The &lt; was a mistake because of how I managed the text (along with viewing it in the browser before I had all the find/replace working): download, change < to &lt;, then change newlines to BR tags, then modify, then change BR tags back to new lines, then replace the &lt;. I had forgotten about the &lt; in comments. In the end, it turned out I didn't even need to bother with less-than signs, as the textarea box doesn't even use HTML. As for BulbaBot, I don't remember the password, and it wasn't in .bash_history, nor did I feel up to checking my GAIM log. But if I knew that it wouldn't show up in recent changes, I would have done that. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

I'm sorry, that wasn't terribly clear - what do you mean? What is lacking on the Bulbapedia article?

Anyone else see the shiny sprites are animated? Are the shiny Bulbasaurs in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum animated? {{SUBST::User:SLE aman/Signature}} 01:09, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
:Yes. And no, the DPPt sprites aren't animated. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:23, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
::More accurately, they are animated in the game, but for some reason we're only animating the Platinum sprites.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

== Generation III Learnsets ==

Just a quick question, why don't the other generation learnsets lead to the next Pokémon, like with the PokémonPrevNext thing? ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 21:26, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:Um...why would they? --'''[[User:Theryguy512|Theryguy]][[User Talk:Theryguy512|512]]''' 23:21, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
::Uh, so it would be EASY to move through the Pokémon? Duh. ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 23:23, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

== Gen III Move sets Wrong ==

My Fire Red Bulbasaur didn't learn sweet scent until level 25. I'm not sure about the rest of the moves, but growth should have been offered at level 25 instead, and I still don't have that by 26. I'll update as I learn new moves. {{unsigned|Coldshrike}}
:Done. I already fixed it, thanks for letting us know. '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 12:42, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== Cry ==

Bulbasaur's cry is a lower-pitched Pikachu cry. --I [[User:HideInTheDark|hide in the dark]]! 17:30, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
:It is! Hm. You know, on the [[cry]] page, there's information stating there's only 37 "different" cries that make the 151 sounds (obviously stuff like Mewtwo, Mew, Paras, and Parasect have the same underlying cry), but it'd be awesome if we could get someone to compile a list of all the Pokémon that use those specific cries. Gen II also has 30 more, making there be really 67 sounds for 251 Pokémon.
:Think you could make this list up for us? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:08, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

==Type Advantages over Gym Leaders==

This is kind of a small thing, but it's listed that Bulbasaur has a type advantage over the first two gym leaders in Kanto. But since Lt. Surge uses electric types, that gives Bulbasaur a defensive advantage without an offensive disadvantage (as would be the case with Erika). So shouldn't Bulbasaur be listed as having a type advantage over the first three gym leaders? [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 20:01, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
:Saying it has a type advantage for that means like when you used a Razor Leaf against Onix or Staryu it would say "It's Super Effective!". Grass type moves don't do that against Electric types, so technically it is true like it already is. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 20:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

:So saying it has a type advantage is limited ONLY to an attack advantage? That doesn't seem right. That would mean there's a difference in nomenclature between Bulbasaur vs. Onix (Offensive only) and Bulbasaur vs. Starmie (Offensive and Defensive). But no such differentiation has ever been used. [[User:Gear-Richie|Gear-Richie]] 19:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

== Back Sprite difference ==

Hey- maybe i'm the first, but when i play Sapphire, Bulbasaur's back sprite is the same as bulbapedia's, however my Fire Red game shows a different back sprite. Here's what I mean: in Hoenn, Bulbasaur is squinting, where in FR&LG, Bulbasaur's eyes are wide open.--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 22:58:25, 22, August, 2009 (UTC)

==Yellow==
Just disproved the "Bulbasaur joins in Yellow if you're level 20" thing by actually playing Yellow. {{unsigned|PharosAM}}
:It joins when Pikachu has high happiness. That's actually mentioned in the article. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:42, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I just defeated Misty and i got it. Level 20 thing is a long time question on the topic. It may refer to the fact that you may need Pokémon at least level 20. --[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 12:17, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Spritemaster:

The Generation IV sprites have been doubled for some reason; However, it's beyond my current knowledge in regard to fixing this.
--[[User:Marohen|Marohen]]

You mean theres two Sprites of venusaurs and two shiny sprites of venusaur? Well to answer your question, See how one has a seed on its plant? well that's a female venusaur and the one W/O the seed is a male.... (It's called Gender Differences)..... --[[User:Force Fire|Force Fire]] 10:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

:Is the shiny ''Crystal'' sprite supposed to have all those black dots? ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

It's not. Somebody should fix that. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 19:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, where would those dots even come from? I'm just wondering. --[[User:Hey1031|Hey1031]] 21:18, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
:My guess is that someone just used a poor-quality ripping program, or something... the best solution is probably to re-rip and re-upload it. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 21:22, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

== Question about trivia ==

I have a question about the trivia. It says that Venusaur has bloodshot eyes in recent 3D games. What does that mean?[[User:Pokemon champ|Pokemon champ]] 07:34, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
:Its eyes goes red.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 07:47, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

== Another Question about trivia ==

Is it significant that only Red, Blue, and LeafGreen refer to the flower on its back as "a plant" rather than "its flower", making it sound more like a parasite than part of itself? [[User:PhoenixGraphix|P]][[User_Talk:PhoenixGraphix|G]][[Special:Contributions/PhoenixGraphix|™]] ([[Darkrai|bleh]]) 01:14, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
:Not really. Plants and flowers are pretty much the same thing. It doesn't come across parasitic to me, which makes this an opinionated trivia.... i.e. a bad piece of trivia. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 03:34, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

== Likely Connection? ==

I was on Archives when I noticed the Venusaur's FR/LG front sprites in many ways another version of its orginal artwork from Red & Blue. Who thinks that there could be a connection? [[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 00:05 26 August 2009 (UTC)

'''Norman''' (Japanese: '''センリ''' ''Senri'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Petalburg City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Petalburg Gym]] and the father of the {{player}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. He is an expert of {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]], and hands out the {{badge|Balance}} to any {{pkmn|Trainer}} who defeats him.

==In the games==
Norman is also the [[player character]]'s father in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} no matter which gender is selected. The other gender choice (and therefore the [[rival]]) is the son/daughter of [[Professor Birch]].

Although he is the first Gym Leader encountered, he refuses to battle until the player has at least four badges. Once he is beaten, he gives the player the Balance Badge.

Norman and his family are originally from [[Johto]]. He, as well as the player, have just moved to [[Hoenn]] so that he could take up the position of Gym Leader. People have come to describe him as someone who "lives for Pokémon."

Norman also provides special items scanned in via [[e-Reader]] to the player.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Norman.png|thumb|left|Norman in the anime.]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, he is the father of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and the husband of [[Caroline]].

Very early in his Hoenn journey, [[Ash Ketchum]] arrived with {{an|May}} in Petalburg City in the hope of getting his first gym battle. Ash found the Petalburg Gym and met [[Max]]. May stopped him and allowed Ash to meet her parents, Caroline and Norman. Norman turned out be to the real [[Petalburg City]] [[Gym Leader]]. Norman used his Pokémon, a {{p|Vigoroth}}, to save [[May's Torchic]] from [[Team Rocket]].

Norman is a good friend of [[Professor Birch]] and was most likely to have been the person to send May to Littleroot Town to get her first Pokémon. As May did not initially like Pokémon, this seems to have created some distance between the two. Before Ash knew that Norman was May's father, he comments that it sounds like she knows the Petalburg Gym Leader pretty well, to which she replies, "No, I just wish I did" and becomes subdued.

The day after that, in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style]]'', May and Max tried to figure out why Norman and Caroline are getting all worked up as Ash Ketchum tries to save Norman's three Pokémon from Team Rocket. It all turned out that Norman had Nurse Joy build a firework launcher to make fireworks in a form of a {{p|Beautifly}} in anniversary of their own wedding day.

Ash Ketchum had his gym battle with Norman in ''[[AG070|Balance of Power]]''. Using his {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, and {{AP|Torkoal}}, Ash defeated Norman's Pokémon, much to Max's dismay. Max stole the Balance Badge and locked himself up in Norman's greenhouse. Norman was able to get Max under control and Max gave Ash his {{Badge|Balance}}.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[File:Norman and Juan.png|thumb|right|250px|Norman and his Slaking (left) with Juan and his Clamperl (right)]]
{{Spoiler}}
In [[Pokémon Special]], Norman is the father of {{Special|Ruby}}, and his wife is nameless. He is a man who believes in power and he is very skillful in battling. Because of that, he strongly disagreed with Ruby's obsession with [[Contest|contests]]. When Ruby reached his 11th birthday, however, he decided that Ruby is old enough to make his decision and finally let him have his own way.

Physically, he is so strong that he can squeeze a phone receiver into pieces without effort, and he won't hesitate to use this strength on his son when he deems necessary. However, he still cares for Ruby very much: He asked his wife to arrange their move to [[Hoenn]] on the date of Ruby's birthday so that he can tell him about his permission for Ruby to take part in contests in person. He also prepared a pair of special running shoes made by the [[Devon Corporation]] for his birthday. Later, he also gave a [[Pokéblock]] holder to Ruby.

There are several hints from the series showing Norman has had unpleasant encounters with the Pokémon Association. The beginning of all could possibly be traced back to 7 years prior to the start of the Ruby/Sapphire Saga, where Norman failed his Gym Leader Test in [[Johto]].

7 years ago, Norman was banned from taking the Gym Leader Test for several years, because of {{Special|Ruby}}, who had fended off a {{p|Salamence}}. At that time, the Pokémon Association had {{p|Rayquaza}} locked up nearby. They were experimenting with an artificially made stone called the Emerald Orb. The Salamence broke into Rayquaza's containment area and set it free. As a result, Norman took the blame for his son, and became distant from his family to hunt down Rayquaza.

During the battle between Groudon and Kyogre, Norman fought using Rayquaza and defeated and calmed the two titans. He died after {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} left to their respective domains, supposedly because of the strain needed to control Rayquaza without a proper medium. However, Norman was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his {{p|Celebi}}.

==Quotes==
''"Hm... So, you did get four Gym Badges. Fine, as I promised, we will have a Pokémon battle. <name>... I'm so happy that I can have a battle with my own child. But, a battle is a battle! I will do everything in my power as a Gym Leader to win. <name>, you'd better give it your best shot, too!

''"... I... I can't... I can't believe it. <name>... I lost to <name>? But rules are rules! Here, take this."''

''"As the Gym Leader, I can't express how upset I am... But as a father, it makes me both happy and a little sad. It's odd..."''

First rematch ({{game|Emerald}}):

''"<name>... I had a feeling that you would come. I would never refuse to accept a challenge from you. You do understand, don't you? Inside a Gym, it doesn't matter that we are a parent and child. No, because we are parent and child, we owe it to each other to do the best we can. Isn't that right, <name>?"''

''"Uh... Haha... Maybe that was going too hard..."''

''"<name>... What is your dream? My dream... Hahaha... It has already come true, actually."''

Is the Pikachu's gender always the same whenever you trade it to a 2nd generation game? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 17:38, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

:The gender is pre-set when you get the Pikachu. However, trading to a [[Generation II]] handheld game or viewing the Pokémon's info in {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} is necessary to see the gender, and the gender ratios do hold true even for the starter Pikachu in Yellow. The gender'll always remain the same as it was set no matter how many times it gets transferred between game paks, just like any other Pokémon. Although I've had it male most of the time, I've gotten it female at least once myself. I guess you can say that the Yellow version of the game gets thrown out the window if one's trying to prove [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s gender in the anime (the game can't be considered evidence either way)...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:48, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Spritemaster: /* Apperance */

== White ==

White is a 14 year old boy who lives in Sansa Villige. He is a adventures boy who loves Pokémon. One, day Doctor Nokia asks him to be of a help to his research. It is here the White receives his first Pokémon. As he lives for the next town over, he meets Amber, a girl whom lives on Route 50. She then challenges White to a battle, which she loses, and vows for revenge, thus making her White's rival. After that, White travels all over the Mai- sho region, battling gyms, and defeating the evil Wind Riders.

== Apperance ==

White is a 14 year old boy who is around 5' 7". He is very active, and is strong. He lanky, which makes him an ideal runner. He wears simple blue shirt with a black long- sleeve undershirt. Unlike other main characters, White has no head wear. His hair is white, hence his name. He also wears pants simular to Branden's Emerald art work, but the top half is white, while the bottom half is red.

== Pokémon ==

White's team consits of the following:

{{SimpleTeam|
#1=[[Image:001.png]] |
Poke1=Bulbasaur |
NN1=Seeder |
LV1=Lv.10 |
#2=[[Image:403.png]] |
Poke2=Shinx |
NN2=Zappy |
LV2=Lv.8 |
#3=[[Image:265.png]] |
Poke3=Wurmple |
NN3=Pinky |
LV3=Lv.7 |}}

*Bulbasaur- received as his starter Pokémon. He is very smart, often coming up with new variations of moves he knows. Acts as the voice of reason to White's team.
*Shinx- caught on Rouute 52 when trying to steal food. Tends to be a hot head, causing trouble among the team. He does not like fighting, as he has never been in one before.
*Wurmple- found injured in Bluefalls Island. She was left there after her trainer lost a battle. She is shy, but is happy to be with a loving trainer.

== Can someone please add the new information from high quality trailer? ==

The official HG/SS website updated with a higher quality video as many of us already know. Serebii.net just updated with some pictures from the trailer. It shows Morty in the Ecrutek city Gym which appeared to have received a redesign. It also shows an unknown Gym puzzle with lava which many speculate to be the Blackthorn Gym. The trailer also shows that Pokemon following you on the field can use their HM moves to get rid of obstacles. Of many things, Serebii shows a picture of Tyranitar using rock smash in Cainwood City, and some pictures of Gold and Totodile and Soul and Chikorita walking around with Totodile around Violet city and Ecrutek city, and a battle with Typhlosion and Meganium versus Feraligatr and Tyranitar. Tyranitar, Feraligatr, and Mareep sport new front sprites which may or may not be beta. --[[User:Dialgafan1|Dialgafan1]] 16:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)Dialgafan1

== Pokédex Numbers Aren't the Same ==

According to Serebii.net, released info from the PokéFiesta event in Japan disprove the fact that the Pokédex numbers are the same for the New Pokédex in HGSS:

Growlithe is #129 as opposed to #127, Arcanine is #130 as opposed to #128, and Lapras is #224 as opposed to #219. [[User:Professorsamueloak|Professorsamueloak]] 16:43, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

He's right, check Serebii and see for yourself.

When I saw what was happening I felt like the reason for the changes was to remove some of the previous Pokémon that aren't needed like the Kanto starters, Legendaries, etc. But as I said on that pages' talk page that there should be no changes until the entire change within the Johto Pokédex is confirmed. Also while I am happy the page has been updated with that change I am unsure the part of the inclusion of Generation IV Pokémon bit is correct.

== Kanto Pokemon Exclusions ==

Is there any evidence for that? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:36, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Well the starters Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle as well as the fossil Pokémon and Legendaries originally could not be found in Johto during Generation II and could only be transferred with the Time Machine and from what I can notice that these Pokémon, especially the starters and Legendaries would be the most likely Pokémon to exclude first. But once the official numbers have been confirmed for the new Johto Dex then well see if any others are excluded. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 08:10, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

:Have you also noticed on [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number]] only those Pokémon I mentioned here are the only ones not included there. But anyway the main reason why those 19 would be excluded from the Pokédex is they are rare Pokémon that are never used in another Pokedex in the franchise's game history starting with Gen III, especially if the Hoenn and Sinnoh Regional Dexs are taken into account. I would also suggest that you take this to a forum topic because it is well on it's way to becoming one and I will not post again. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 16:04, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

That is not what I meant the last part of my last post was my response I am not using that article as an official source what I meant about how rare Pokémon not being used in another Pokédex is true.

:Three things:

-Keep to the KANTO EXCLUSIVES. You're starting to get into the last conversation right above this when you talk about the new evolutions, Tyler.

-It isn't a forum conversation. Yet. If a fight starts, then it would be best if it was moved there so that none of us have to see it.

-It's a remake. Saying it won't have Kanto exclusive Pokémon is like saying that there won't be any Johto exclusive Pokémon. And yeah, it could be said that Kanto won't have them because it was an add-on to the main storyline, but remember. Kanto was about a third to half of the whole game, {{tt|time-wise|depending on how long it took you to get through the gyms and E4}}.

Can I add in that Mewtwo is in HGSS? [[User:Max King|Max King]] 19:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Someone over forums told me that Mt. Quena would be introduced into HG/SS, and that he would be obtainable there, but there is no evidence to support this whatsoever and this could be entirely rumour-based at the moment. However, pokébeach.com says:
"As hinted in the box showing a battle for the 2010 World Championship's video game tournament, Pokemon Sunday yesterday confirmed that Legendary Pokemon will be allowed in the tournament: Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia and Giratina can be on your team. One of the hosts on Pokemon Sunday stated that he has always had a Kyogre but was never able to use it, which means he caught it in Sapphire. If so, Pokemon Sunday may be implying that players can use the above legendaries from any of your games at next year's tournament, not just the Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Dialga, etc. caught in HeartGold and SoulSilver."

So, from that I think it'd be too early to confirm he is obtainable in the game, though some might suggest that this hints towards it. [[User:Antmoney|Antmoney]] 02:38, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

== A glitch...? Or just my game? ==

Helloz, me again people. I remember this like it was yesterday, i was playing Pokémon Crytsal, and i can say hand on my heart i've never cheated on my Crystal Cartrage, but anyway. I saved the game, turned it off, went to play it a day later and my gender had switched from the girl to the guy. But my name was now "Kris" instead of "Lydia" (thats what i believe i called myself). I was like....what the hell...? So any answers? [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 11:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if this is notable enough to be trivia, but if I'm not mistaken, Crystal is the game which requires trading with the most different versions to complete the regional Pokedex, as it needs to trade with Red, Blue, Gold AND Silver.

In Cynthia's trivia section, there is a bullet saying "Although Cynthia mentions she started with a Pokédex, in Generation I (approximately three years before the events of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum) Professor Oak mentions that it is his newest invention." How do we know that the events of Gold, Silver, and Crystal are happening at the same time as Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum?

==Platinum and Arceus reference==

In Platinum, I specifically remember that if you went and checked the cave painting in the Celestic Ruins again after beating the Elite Four, Cynthia showed up and gave a big lecture on the dragon trio, lake trio, and speculation on Arceus. Somebody should go and check that, and put it in the quotes section.

== The Pokedex trivia ==

Could Cynthia just be a newish trainer? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 03:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
:As mentioned earlier, Cynthia is said to be quite experienced. Also, both Cynthia and Prof. Rowan both state that it was some time since Rowan had been to the Hall of Fame, which means that Cynthia has been a trainer for quite some time. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 11:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

== In two places at once ==

After defeating Cyrus for the last time, she's at the entrance to Turnback Cave and at the League. Did anyone else notice this? --[[User:Sting the Trainer|Sting the Trainer]] 19:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
:Unless you're also in two places at once, you can't verify that claim. She leaves the League a lot earlier in the game; chances are she's doing the same here. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

== First Timers ==

I was looking at the different Champions, and it's occured to me that Cynthia is the only one to be Champion in both the games and the anime. Blue was Champion in Gen. I & their remakes and is Ash's rival in the anime, Lance was Elite Four in Gen. I, but Champion in Gen.II. Steve and Wallace are not the Champions of Hoenn in the anime, and both where Champions in different games.--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 20:12:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 02:13, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry. I'm just not used to all these rules, even though they are for the better good. I'm just full ideas, and I'm having a little bit of a hard time finding anything that can be used on the site.--Spritemaster 02:17:20 23 August 2009 (UTC)
:As said, why not use the preview button? --[[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 02:19, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I do. It's just that I'm not sure how long I should edit it, that's all. Anyway, I may not be able to use the site for some time. I have school work to finish, and I start next week.--Spritemaster 02:24:35 23 August 2009 (UTC)
