==Blurb==

It's another relaxing day at the beach for Ash and his friends. Ash's overzealous Corphish cuts lunch a little short when it dices everything to inedible bits. Meanwhile, Team Rocket happens upon an abandoned mine shaft and investigates, hoping to find forgotten riches inside. Once inside, they discover a mining cart and jump inside to see where it goes. They soon are met with two glowing eyes. Jessie and James flee, leaving Meowth to deal with what turns out to be a Sableye.

Outside the mine, Jessie and James see Ash and company approaching and decide to hide. Ash spies the mine and wants to go in to play a trick on Corphish. Sableye befriends Meowth and shows him the control room in the mine from which the entire mine can be viewed. They can see Max and May preparing to act like ghosts to play the trick on Corphish. Meowth convinces Sableye to help him steal Pikachu. Max and May's trick backfires when Corphish panics, attacks May and Max and sends them on a cart speeding down the tunnel. Sableye startles the two and May sends Torchic to try to capture it. After May's failed attempt, Meowth appears and drops a net over her and Max. Ash retrieves Brock and they go back in the tunnel to find the siblings.

Meowth and Sableye terrorize Ash and company when they arrive in the cave, capturing Corphish and Pikachu. May and Max, freed by Torchic, try to stop Sableye. Jessie and James arrive and Sableye realizes it was tricked into helping them. Ash sends Taillow to stop Team Rocket and Jessie throws a smoke bomb, causing the shaft to cave in. Sableye motions to Ash and the gang to follow it and it leads them out. Sableye sides with Ash and helps free the captured Pokémon and send Team Rocket blasting off again. 

==Plot==
As {{an|Brock}} is preparing sandwiches for {{ashfr|the group}}, {{Ash}} asks him what kind of sandwiches they are. The others' Pokémon are all out of their {{i|Poké Ball}}s, anticipating the lunch. Brock asks everyone to be patient before noticing {{AP|Corphish}}, and asks how it would feel if it would help him with the salad. Corphish responds happily, jumping onto the table. Brock instructs Corphish to start by cutting the vegetables. Corphish slices a root vegetable perfectly before flinging out its pincer and dicing bulbs into a fine powder. Ash remarks that Corphish is really good at slicing, and Corphish scuttles over to the sandwiches. Alarmed, {{an|May}} tells Corphish not to slice the sandwiches, but Corphish goes onto dice the sandwiches into crumbs. Brock nervously tells the group to dig in. Everyone spoons their meals into their mouths, but are particularly glum about it. Ash addresses Corphish sternly, claiming that it is all its fault and that he hopes that Corphish at least feels bad about it. Corphish snaps its pincers and appears happy regardless. [[Max]] concludes that from the looks of that happy expression the answer is a big no. Ash closes his eyes in exasperation and says that he has to do something about Corphish's attitude fast.

{{TRT}} approaches an abandoned mine, which [[James]] reveals that it was once a gold mine. [[Jessie]] is thrilled by the potential mountain of treasure and laughs as she imagines herself surrounded by gold bricks. James clarifies that the mine has not been operational for years, but Jessie reminds him that finding gold will get them a big promotion from the {{an|Giovanni|Boss}}. With James now on board with the plot, the trio begin searching the mine for gold veins. They find a mining cart and use it to travel deeper into the abandoned mine. Everyone is becoming increasingly nervous by the pitch darkness. As they see two shining, eye-like points of light and a toothy grin in the distance, Team Rocket becomes thoroughly frightened. James hastily pulls on the brake with the sharp stop, incidentally throwing Meowth out of the trolley. The smiling figure approaches them, so James places the mechanism into reverse. As Jessie and James roll backwards, {{MTR}} finds himself alone. The apparition leaps down from the ceiling to stand in front of Meowth, and Meowth looks at it. Meowth screams, erratically attempting to run away before tripping and apparently fainting. The mysterious figure, a {{p|Sableye}}, pokes at Meowth twice before scratching its head in befuddlement.

Jessie and James, now outside of the mine, poke their heads out and realize Meowth is missing. Ash's voice is heard, and Jessie and James turn toward the group. Seeing that they are approaching, Jessie and James clamber out of the trolley, with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} comically falling before scampering after them. May asks Max that he heard the place used to be a real gold mine. Max replies that he is pretty sure, admitting that the [[PokéNav]] does not have any information on it at all. Brock states that it looks to him that the mine has been abandoned for a really long time. After finding that the lights still work, Ash explains to the others that it is in awesome place to test their courage, however his friends are reluctant. Ash explains that it is part of training, and that he thinks it is important to put a good scare into Corphish to calm it down. Ash assures them that it will indeed work, and explains the plot by secretively whispering it to them. Cheerfully, May remarks that she thinks Ash's plan will actually work, and asks Max if he is coming too, which he does. Hiding behind a stack of crates, Jessie and James overhear the group's plan. Jessie sees the mine adventure as an opportunity to nab {{AP|Pikachu}}. James, however, adds that although they may be [[twerp]]s, he thinks they should warn them about the {{t|Ghost}}s. Wobbuffet loudly concurs with Jessie, and quickly Jessie and James nervously cover his mouth to avoid being discovered.

May and Max enter the mine in a trolley. May explains all they have to do then is dress up as ghosts and scare Corphish. May bends over and procures a white sheet, presenting it to Max, who remains sceptical of the ploy. Meanwhile, Meowth awakes in the mine control room with Sableye standing over him. Meowth, frightened, frantically states that he will do anything before he recognizes the apparition, asking if it is a Sableye. Sableye explains the situation to Meowth, and Meowth translates that Sableye likes to scare humans and does not mean any harm. Sableye affirms Meowth's comments and brings out a rock, crunching part of it with its sharp teeth. Meowth admits that he has not eaten all day, so Sableye offers it to him, but Meowth quickly realizes it’s a rock. Noting Sableye's laughter, Meowth demands that Sableye get over it and that it was not that funny. Meowth realizes that Sableye is simply wanting company and queries where he is. Sableye answers that they’re standing in the mine control room, when Meowth notices the surveillance screens showing May and Max huddled in a mine cart. Sableye then invites Meowth to scare the twerps for good. Meowth considers his options and agrees to join Sableye in the hopes of getting all of the gold treasure for himself.

Ash walks along the rail track, wondering if May and Max are ready to go. Ash sends out Corphish, who belligerently raises its pincers. Ash assures Corphish that it is not battling this time and will instead be testing its courage, and Corphish appears to be disappointed. He warns Corphish to better watch its attitude, and informs it that there are ghosts in the mine. A wailing sound is heard, and Ash says that it sounds like there is one now. Corphish appears frightened, erratically moving its pincers in a frantic manner. May and Max soon appear from behind the nearby mine cart and approach Corphish disguised as a ghost. As Corphish is seemingly paralyzed in fear, Ash chuckles to himself that the plan is working. Unexpectedly, however, the entire plan goes wrong when Corphish panics and launches itself at the apparent "ghost", knocking away the cloth and revealing May and Max. May, staggering from the impact, promptly trips, causing her and Max to topple into the trolley. Furious that it has been tricked, Corphish charges at the trolley, sending May and Max further into the mine. Ash blurts out in vain for Corphish to stop, still claiming that they were just "testing its courage". Ash orders Corphish to come back, but it ignores his pleas and storms off in another direction.

Further inside the mine, in the trolley, Max sarcastically asks May if it their experience was a "real blast". May, apparently regretting that she acted before she thought, nervously states that she did not know that Corphish would attack them. The two hear a sound, and Sableye, with its eyes gleaming, appears on the rim of the trolley. May and Max are frightened and scream as Sableye reveals its sharp teeth. Max eventually realizes what the perceived ghost is, and assures May that it is only a Sableye. Sableye leaps upward, hanging onto the ceiling. May brings out her [[Pokédex]] to learn more about Sableye. Max and May are irritated that Sableye deliberately frightened them. May orders out {{TP|May|Torchic}} to teach Sableye a lesson with {{m|Ember}}. Sableye dodges the attack by crawling on the ceiling before leaping down and using {{m|Lick}} on Torchic. May is distraught as Torchic is getting dizzy, so she [[recall]]s it back its Poké Ball. Meowth soon joins Sableye, and with a remote in hand he promptly ensnares the siblings in a drop net. The captives demand to be released as Meowth and Sableye laugh at their predicament.

Outside the mine, Ash reports to Brock that his grand scheme failed after Corphish found out that May and Max were pretending to be ghosts. After realizing the siblings have still not emerged from the mine, Brock and Ash decide they better search for them. As they enter, Meowth spots them on the surveillance system. Meowth assures Sableye that they’re the best of friends and that they will have fun scaring some more people. Sableye nods, so the pair leave to frighten their next victims. In a net hung from the ceiling, May curiously says that Meowth and Sableye are best friends. Max suggests that Meowth is just tricking Sableye into helping, adding that they should help the Sableye.

Corphish angrily scuttles alongside Ash and Brock. Ash asks Corphish how long it is going to stay mad, and reminds it that it was partly at fault for May and Max's disappearances. Angrily, Corphish raises its pincers in the air as it mutters rapidly. Brock states awkwardly that he is not sure that it needed to point that out. Suddenly they spot a trolley ahead on the track and Ash suggests May and Max might be there. Corphish appears frightened of the approaching trolley, and as it slowly comes to a stop Ash and Brock investigate its contents. However they are disappointed to find the cart is empty. With Ash distracted, Sableye lowers itself from the ceiling and licks Ash's neck. Ash is startled, and asks Pikachu if it was him. Pikachu shakes his head to say no, which leaves Ash confused. They soon hear a voice, and in a frightened manner attempt to locate its source. Ash asks if anyone heard that, and Brock comments to Ash that he has the weirdest feeling someone is watching them. Sableye lowers itself from the ceiling and licks Brock’s neck, instantly startling him. Behind Corphish, Meowth, in a black garment and veil, slaps Corphish with a fan. Corphish turns around, but does not find anyone. Ash asks what Brock thinks is in there with them, and Corphish erratically waves its pincers and exclaims repeatedly. Ash asks Corphish what is wrong, and Corphish gives Ash a stern expression before tackling him. Ash defensively asks Corphish what that was for, and Corphish snaps its pincers angrily. Pikachu jumps in front of Ash to defend him, but Corphish slams Pikachu aside. Brock orders Corphish to knock it off. May and Max watch the scene from a computer monitor in the control room, but feel helpless to intervene. May says she knows and brings out Torchic. Torchic, upon materializing, is still frightened. Max states that it looks like Torchic has not recovered from its earlier battle. May gently asks Torchic to use Ember to burn through the net, roughly releasing May and Max. May thanks Torchic, and tells that it can go inside its Poké Ball and rest again, recalling it. Max reminds May that they should hurry and go help, so they rush over to warn Ash and Brock.

The situation has escalated as Pikachu launches an attack at Corphish, but Corphish leaps to evade it. Corphish aims a {{m|Bubble Beam}} at Pikachu, but Pikachu jumps over it. The pair confront each other, with Pikachu's cheeks sparking from the tension. As Ash commands both Pikachu and Corphish to stop, Meowth fires a net and successfully captures the two Pokémon. A burst of laughter alerts Ash and Brock to the culprits, Meowth accompanied by a Sableye. As Meowth declares that he and Sableye are best friends, the siblings roll in on a mining cart. May declares Meowth’s statement is a lie and informs Sableye that Meowth is just manipulating it. Sableye turns to Meowth, and Meowth quickly attempts to defend himself and orders Sableye to take care of them. Sableye looks doubtful, holds its head in its hands from confusion. Suddenly Jessie's voice is heard, and Meowth, Sableye, Ash, and Brock turn to identify the voice, Ash asking who it is. Jessie and James roll into view aboard another mine cart as they recite their {{motto}}. Afterwards, James congratulates Meowth on the good work as Jessie grabs the net with Pikachu and Corphish in it. Meowth announces that the jig is up and leaps into the cart with his teammates. As the reunited Team Rocket wheel away, Sableye remains behind as it fumes angrily. Ash calls on {{AP|Taillow}}, who quickly catches up to Team Rocket. In retaliation for pecking at her hair, Jessie throws out a bomb. The explosion causes the cave ceiling to crack and a rock fall. Sableye points towards a direction inside the mine and urges them to follow, so the group follows after it.

Team Rocket are sprawled on the ground, safely outside the cave. Jessie remarks that it was close, but James reminds her that she was the one who sent out the shock wave in the first place. Meowth remorsefully remarks that he feels bad, tricking Sableye like he did. As Jessie and James mull over who is to blame, Ash asserts that it was their fault as he and the others stand on top of the rocky ledge of the mountain's entrance. Corphish and Pikachu are cheered at his appearance and call out happily. Surprised, Jessie acknowledges the twerps and James adds that they are safe. More cheerfully, Meowth comments that Sableye is okay too. Ash exclaims that they are safe but no thanks to them, and that Sableye helped them. Sableye angrily shouts at Team Rocket, and James requests Meowth to translate, which reveals that Sableye is set on getting even for having its favorite place to play now destroyed. Ash commands Sableye to help Pikachu and Corphish, and Sableye leaps down, swiping the net and released captive pair. Ash orders Corphish to use {{m|Crabhammer}} and Pikachu to use {{m|Iron Tail}}. Corphish and Pikachu both do so, slamming into Team Rocket. Sableye then uses {{m|Night Shade}} on Team Rocket, causing an explosion and sending Team Rocket blasting off. Afterwards, Ash states that he is glad everyone is safe. As Brock credits Sableye, Pikachu and Corphish enthusiastically thank it for its help. May then brings up the possibility that maybe now Corphish will settle down a little bit more. Sableye says goodbye to Pikachu and Corphish, climbing on top of the ridge and waving towards the group.

Malasada

2019-10-29T11:41:20Z

Sundar: /* Big Malasada */

[[File:Malasada shop.png|thumb|250px|The exterior of a malasada shop]]
[[File:Malasada shop inside.png|thumb|250px|Inside of a malasada shop]]
'''Malasada''' (Japanese: '''マラサダ''' ''malasada'') is a food common in [[Alola]]. It is based on real-world {{wp|malasada}}s, which are common in Hawaii. In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], malasada shops sell two basic varieties of malasadas that have different effects. There are malasada shops in [[Hau'oli City]], [[Royal Avenue]], and [[Malie City]].

==Flavored malasada==
The flavored malasadas are sold by the left-hand attendant at malasada shops for {{pdollar}}200. Different shops sell different flavors.
* [[Hau'oli City]]: Sweet Malasada
* [[Royal Avenue]]: Sour Malasada, Dry Malasada
* [[Malie City]]: Spicy Malasada, Bitter Malasada
A sixth type of flavored malasada, Mythic Malasada, also appears rarely at all shops. It appears for exactly one week at a time and then disappears again until 31 days later. For example, if Mythic Malasada appears at a shop on January 1, it will remain until January 7, and then it will disappear again until February 7. The game treats the date the player started their adventure as the day just after when Mythic Malasada was last available in shops (for example, if the player's adventure started on January 8, Mythic Malasadas would appear on February 7). If the 3DS's time is changed, the new date is treated the same way.

These malasadas increase a Pokémon's [[affection]] by 3, 5, or 10 points, depending on whether it dislikes, is neutral to, or likes the [[flavor]] (respectively). Mythic Malasada increases a Pokémon's affection by 13 regardless of its preferences. They also make the Pokémon totally full. A Pokémon with fullness of level 4 or more cannot eat any flavored malasadas.

==Big Malasada==
[[File:Dream Big Malasada Sprite.png|thumb|Big Malasada]]
{{main|Big Malasada}}
Big Malasadas are sold by the right-hand attendant at malasada shops for {{pdollar}}350. Each shop will only sell one Big Malasada to each customer each day.

Big Malasadas are bag items, stored in the Medicine pocket, and cure a Pokémon from all {{DL|Status condition healing item|Non-volatile status|non-volatile}} [[status condition]]s and {{status|confusion}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Malasada anime.png|thumb|250px|Malasadas in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Malasada shop anime.png|thumb|left|220px|A malasada shop in the anime]]
Malasadas have appeared multiple times in the anime. They were first featured in ''[[SM006|A Shocking Grocery Run!]]'', in which [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} were shown working in a store located in [[Hau'oli City]]'s mall selling malasadas.

Throughout the series, Team Rocket normally appear in a Malasada Truck attempting to sell them to people, wearing Bewear inspired uniforms.

In ''[[SM012|The Sun, the Scare, the Secret Lair!]]'', Jessie was seen eating a malasada, only for it to be taken by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Wingull}}, who fed it to its babies.

In ''[[SM014|Getting to Know You!]]'', {{an|Lillie}} took [[Snowy]] to a malasada shop. In addition, Jessie offered some malasadas to {{an|Bewear}} as a thanks for taking care of them, only for the Strong Arm Pokémon to express its gratitude of her gesture by squishing her with a tremendous hug.

[[Sophocles's parents|Sophocles's mother]] made some homemade malasadas for {{Ash}} and {{an|Sophocles}} in ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]''. The latter made extremely positive comments about her cooking style for those malasadas.

Team Rocket, including {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, were seen eating malasadas in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''.

Sophocles baked some malasadas for {{ashcl}} in ''[[SM030|The Ol' Raise and Switch!]]''. Inspired by {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}'s {{m|Sweet Scent}}, he had copied the same aroma into the malasadas.

In ''[[SM038|Mimikyu Unmasked!]]'', Jessie bought some malasadas twice from the Hau'oli City Shopping Mall. Both times, the malasadas were stolen by a group of {{p|Murkrow}}, but on the second occasion, Jessie manages to get back one of the stolen malasadas, sharing it with {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Malasada Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Malasadas in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PASM04|The Decision and the Tournament of Six]]'', [[Olivia]] and {{adv|Moon}} handed out malasadas to the participants of a tournament at an [[Iki Town]] festival. The packaging on the malasadas each contained a number that determined their placement in the tournament.

== I have a question ==

Hello Bulbapedia. I hope it's okay that I'm asking this here. I'm just curious: is there a list of articles that need to have typos fixed or information added to them? I joined here recently and while I have been using the Random Page link to find pages to edit, I thought it might help me if I could work on things that have specifically been identified as needing to be done. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 16:11, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

== Talk pages, again ==

Your talk page isn't for saving material that is to be added to another article, either. Either you add the saved material to the appropriate article right away or, if you're locked out of editing said article or for whatever other reason, you create a sandbox article where you can store all of that.

:Also, don't remove talk page messages. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:31, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

::First, you removed messages of mine from my talk page. Why are you allowed to do that while I'm not? Second, what messages did I remove from here? I only added back the messages of mine that you deleted. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 02:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:::Did you not read my edit summary? Those are NOT allowed on your talk page, thus they can be removed.

== Pointless edits ==

Please do not make pointless edits, like you did to Araquanid (TCG), they are unconstructive and can be seen as vandalism. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:47, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

:Sorry about that. I had simply been curious as to whether I could change the color of templates, so that's why I made such a small edit and then undid it right after. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 08:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

== Userspace policy again ==

Hey! You're only allowed a small number of edits to your userspace, e.g. userpages, sandbox articles, etc. I'm not sure about the exact number, but it looks like you may be over the limit already.

== Adding transfer-only moves to Pokedex pages ==

I don't know if I can word this better myself, so I'm going to [[Bulbapedia_talk:Project_Pokédex/Structure|quote Nescientist]].
:Sumwun and I believe that, for the moves, an additional section "By transfer from an earlier generation" would be sensible. (Please refer to [[User talk:Force Fire#Transfer-only moves and ability changes]].) The addition of this subsection would enable users to tell what moves <species> can '''''know''''' (in <game/generation>) at one glance.

:It's very well possible even Tiddlywinks is ''under''estimating how difficult it is to answer the "know in <game/generation>" question (as much as I initially did). As Sumwun said at the referenced talk page, currently, you'd have to click at least up to 6 links to learnset pages, assuming you already know by heart how transfer works (and that you can't transfer Pokémon from GO by any means, which is what I actually doublechecked). And additionally, you might have to actually ''neglect'' irrelevant sections on learnset pages (for example, in USUM/GenVII, {{p|Bulbasaur}} cannot ''know'' {{m|AncientPower}} AFAIK). (If there's a faster method, I'd like to hear it.)

:And I can't stress how important I think that question is, for I believe it is the central question to that species and learnset pages should be providing an answer to (the use case). It all boils down to that use case: in Tiddlywinks' words, what's the "concern" species/learnset pages try to address? I can't sketch a question/use case that would include "By events" but not "By transfer from a prior generation". (Well, for USUM, I can sketch the question "What moves can <species> with [[black clover]] know?", but that's arguably a "special" case, and probably comp-centric{{tt|*|I am not a competitve battler, by the way}}.) I would like to know what you guys think that use case should be.

:Regarding Tiddlywinks' comment about this coming from a "specific focus like comp/challenges", I took some time to think about that. Apart from the fact that I don't think the use case is comp-centric even, it is also not subjective, but purely factual, unlike the questions you said "we're never going to do" (and, by the way, I agree we shouldn't). For example, I recall that I once designed a team for my next playthrough, and I was searching possible moves for them. From context, I can recreate it must've been for XY before ORAS came out, because I wanted my Swinub to have a good Special Ground-type STAB and ended up breeding it in an earlier generation so I could teach it Earth Power via move tutor, then transfered (and traded) it to the new save file. I don't think that I ever was, in any point in time, trying to answer a question where I required all current subsections but not "By transfer from a prior generation".

:I would like to know what you guys think that use case should be, and whether you think the suggestion subsection is sensible.

It is mentioned on [[V (Volt)#Trivia|V (Volt)]]'s article. It even has a page on [https://myanimelist.net/anime/21695/Pokemon_XY_SP__Road_to_Kalos MyAnimeList].

== ©2005-"2016"! ==

Sorry I missed this out here in Bulbapedia before, but the ending credits of S08, S09 and S10 which aired on Disney XD India had different copyright years credited in the credits. They have the copyright years credited as [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iWz98GG5mqmUCZlEP2GGpMNqlwCRBkTz ©2004-''2016''], [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WTvY_FYSeDRENzEheStlu-iR7AYFDLDe ©2005-''2016''] and [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FPPMJq0n2MOLpGfRsPAXBFzgAu7MeerU ©2006-''2016''] in the ending credits of S08, S09 and S10 respectively which is different from the US version. This indicates that Disney India have rights for all seasons in Pokémon up till XYZ (S19). They have also credited in it as "TM and ® are trademarks of Nintendo ''for Asian territories''." which is again different from the US version. Is this notable enough for its inclusion in the SA page? --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:35, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
:All this says is that the dubs were made around 2016, I don't think think that really says much about the seasons through S19. The trademark line being different is also not surprising since TPCi doesn't have a presence in Asia including India. I don't think this reveals anything that isn't stated or implied by the rest of the page. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:50, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
:::I think that all this implies that when the anime was licensed for airing in India, they simply updated the copyright and extended it up till 2016, or that was the year when the (re)licensing happened. It shouldn't necessarily be when the seasons were dubbed. Also, about the Asian territories line , it simply may have been added because these videos should be used in Asian countries only. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:24, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

:Detective Pikachu was expected to be released on the big screen, as it's not an anime movie, but rather a live action one and distributed by a large company like Warner Bros. May 10 is the worldwide release date for Detective Pikachu, after all. But it's nice to see that I Choose You will be getting a limited release as well. If the date is correct and it is releasing on February 2, then it will be the first time a Pokemon anime movie is releasing in theaters. Though, [https://www.pvrcinemas.com/comingsoon/pokemon-detective-pikachu/NHO00014009 that page] is only showing it as being released in English, so maybe we'll have to wait till it airs on television for the regional dubs. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:36, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

== List of Pokemon by availability ==

Why does C have priority over R? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 02:17, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
:In general, the entries higher up on the key have higher priority than lower ones. For C and R in particular, catching is also the least restrained method of obtaining them, whereas a received Pokémon generally has a fixed level, moveset, and Poké Ball, for example. R should be treated as though "The Pokémon cannot be caught in-game, but..." is implied. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 11:49, 7 January 2019 (UTC)

:Luka's great-grandfather should be fine.
:Leaning towards no for the news crew since they don't have names; if they had names in say the Japanese credits instead of just "REPORTER" and "CAMERA MAN" as in the English CCs, then it would be fine. Same idea for the island from EP060.
:Misty Village should be good, the lighthouse depends on whether it's in the village or not; if it's inside or directly adjacent to it, then it should just be on the village's page. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:03, 16 February 2019 (UTC)
::I'm not sure about if the news crew were actually given names in the Japanese credits, and will have to find someone to look that up on my behalf.
::I'll also combine the Misty Village and Mountain Lighthouse pages into one called "Misty Village", given that the Mountain Lighthouse lies close to the township itself.
::With the unnamed island page, I thought that given that we have other unnamed island and forest pages for the Decolore Archipelago, and it was featured prominently in its respective episode that it was worth a page, but I'll not push for it to be mainspaced.

== Pokemon voices ==

Something has come to my intention with some of the voices of some Pokemon. With Pokemon such as Mudsdale, who clearly don't have a voice actor, seeing as its cry comes from real horses, or horse-like sounds, should we list them as not having a voice actor? Because where their voices are meant to be listed, it seems like an empty space waiting to be added, but they might never be revealed, seeing as they might not have ever been voiced by anyone. Just a thought. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 13:12, 18 February 2019 (UTC)

== Editorial Board? ==

In November 2017, [[User:Pumpkinking0192]] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Villainous_teams&diff=next&oldid=2709663 undid] my edit to the Villainous teams article which removed an inactive move proposal template that had been [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Villainous_teams&diff=2614307&oldid=2614078 added there] on March 18th of that year. He explained that only the Editorial Board could remove it and advised patience. Fair enough. However, over a year has passed since then and I see the move proposal template is still on the Villainous teams article with no indication that any action will be taken towards a move or the removal of the template. In less than three weeks, the template will have been on that article for two years. Is there any way to grease the gears of this bureaucracy, or is this a typical wait time? To be clear, I have no preference one way or the other regarding the title of the Villainous teams article, but it bothers me that the template can stay up for so long and no one who has the power to resolve it does anything, while I am willing to remove the template right now yet lack the necessary permission to do so.

== Template wikicode question ==

I am writing a sandboxed version of the {{template|alldex}} row template for use on a draft article ([[User:Force Fire/List of Pokémon that appear in multiple regional Pokédex]]) that is currently nominated for mainspacing. I want this sandboxed version to take into account whether a non-numeric input (like <code>---</code> or <code>???</code>) is fed to any of its parameters.

On the current version in templatespace, whenever a non-numeric input is fed to the <code>s=</code> parameter, as in the following example:
<pre>{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}</pre>
I get the following error message:
{{alldexh|1}}
{{alldex|1|084|j=204|oj=199|h=095|oh=092|s=---|u2dex=---|kdex=094|kr=Central|adex=---|Doduo|2|Normal|Flying}}
|}
This is because of the following numeric comparison statement being executed by the template to determine whether or not to append {{sup/4|Pt}} to the Sdex number:
<pre>{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}</pre>
The comparison <code><nowiki>{{{s|001}}} > 151</nowiki></code> crashes whenever <code>s=</code> is non-numeric. So, I want to modify my sandboxed copy of {{template|alldex}} to not execute the numeric comparison above unless the input is purely numeric.

I want to ask if there is a wikicode command (like <code><nowiki>{{#ifnum: {{{in|def}}}|out}}</nowiki></code> or similar) that I can use in my template to check whether the input is a number (positive, negative, etc.) and execute the output only upon meeting that numeric constraint. That way, I could have my template do this without crashing or returning error messages:
<pre>{{#ifnum: {{{s|001}}}|{{#ifexpr: {{{s|001}}} > 151|{{Sup/4|Pt}}}}}}</pre>
I could also use such a construct to tell the template to supress any <code><nowiki>{{tt|*|}}</nowiki></code> tooltips for non-numeric inputs (like <code>---</code>, used to express that a Pokémon is not in that regional Pokédex), so that for the example above I get something like this:
{{alldexh|1}}
|- style="background:#FFFFFF;"
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #084
| style="font-family:Monospace;" | #204{{tt|*|199 in Generation II}}

:: 
::[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] updated the template, so now there is no need to manually type those <code>---</code> values onto its call. But still there are a few quirks that need to be solved. Like this example:

::See those Sups accompanying those output <code>---</code> values? They should not be there if those Dex values are left undefined. <del>My sandboxed copy of the template</del> takes care of that by checking whether such parameters were supplied by the user before printing any Sups, and it also checks whether a pair of old/new Udex (or Adex) values are equal (or not) before printing any tooltips. But I cannot incorporate such measures to the official template because Force Fire protected it (it was unprotected and being transcluded only onto two articles and this talk page, so how could it suddenly become a high-traffic page?), so I was asking if either you or Force Fire could take a look into this and either update the template with code from my sandboxed copy (or replace the template with my sandboxed version by moving my page over the official one, whichever path is more comfortable to you).

The Galar Pokédex has not yet been released, so it might be a good idea to protect (on grounds of speculation crackdown) the creation and editing of this page:

== Problematic User. ==

Dear Abcboy,

I am appealing to you for assistance. I have requested the indefinite blocking of GrammarFreak01 on account of the user’s edit stalking behaviour, the failure to adhere to staff warnings and blocks because of strings of useless edits. I have been on this platform for the past year and have made significant additions to the many anime sections including plot rewrites, new plots, character sections to recurring characters and stub removal. Majority of my edits, which do not require any significant changes, are typically changed by the end of the day by GrammarFreak01. Be it either a word change to a synonym, deleting gaps, changing the way apostrophes look, switching information around, and in some cases erroneously putting in misinformation for episode pages on almost every single one of my edits. This user typically edits other user’s edits and rarely makes contributions to a page’s information, aside from Voice Actor pages. I am not the first and only to be targeted, Mikuri and Erika124 have been affected also, but I have brought this issue up with ForceFire several times and my calls for GrammarFreak01 to be indefinitely blocked on this platform have not occurred. This behaviour is intimidating and not collaborative in any sense, and for many including myself they find that they no longer wish to contribute to the platform because their edits will simply be altered unnecessarily. I hope to hear shortly, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 17:58, 19 March 2019 (UTC)

If it were one here and there, and especially a new page, that would be different, but that isn't the case, it is every single edit and within minutes (in many cases) that he will have made an unnecessary change to a page and the particular portions I have just edited.

== rolls from Annice Moriarty ==

Hello
While I did leave a message on Force Fire's talk, I'm not sure if he/she will see it.
So I am letting you know of this too:
I'm going to correct some rolls for characters voiced by Annice Moriarty.
I will base these edits purely on two things,
*Annice Moriarty and [[Kether Donohue]] are two separate individuals.
*The Galactic Battles DVDs, where the credits are shown.

I also wish to know where it was that people got the information from that said that Annice Moriarty is [[Kether Donohue]]. I've looked all over the internet, but cannot find anything at all save an IMDB page on Donohue. IMDB is unreliable for pseudonyms and Donohue's website no longer exists, so there's no verification of sources there.
There are other factors I will disregard as they give me a bit of a bias in the matter, and I will do my best not to make edits on those grounds, such as Moriarty's biographic info.
I will also warn you guys about pseudonyms, using this important example of a long-held belief that turned out to be wrong.
I have 3 names for you:
*Allyson Johnson ([[Agatha]])
*Kathleen Delaney (Rouge the Bat from 4kids era Sonic the Hedgehog)
*Caren Manuel (previously believed to have voiced both Rouge and [[Agatha]])
Many places (Bulbapedia included) believed that Manuel voiced [[Agatha]] and Rouge, until it turned out that that info was wrong.
I plan on making edits based on credits, because if I base it on anything else my bias will come in.
So I guess I'm asking two things:
1. Show me a source that links Kether Donohue to Annice Moriarty, apart from voices and apart from them being in the same shows.
There are rolls that Moriarty has done in shows that Donohue has never been in, and vice versa.
If I had to guess as to the root of the belief, I would guess either of two things:
*Both have provided the voice for [[Lila]], albet in different stages of her life.
*Both have similar enough sounding voices.

Full desclosure I am the sister of MOriarty, hence why I would have a bias, and hence why I wish to only edit what I can find in the credits of the actual episodes.
I want this confusion cleared up because then if I can see sources, I can better understand where the information came from then I can judge it upon that as opposed to me just knowing Annie. We lived appart for most of our lives, as I stayed in Uganda and she moved to NY when she was 12, so we didn't interact on a regular basis. Still, I will do everything I can to make sure my bias doesn't show.
S oI will simply ask for the source so I can examine it.
When you and Force Fire make a determination, please keep in mind the Caren Manuel/Kathleen Delaney/Allyson Johnson thing, and please keep in mind that just because two people sound similar, that doesn't mean they are the same person.
I also present Christopher Kromer and Matthew Charles, who also have been confused for each other in the past.
Sorry for any typing errors, I am a fast typer.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Please, if nothing else, I want some non-IMDB sources, because IMDB, which is unreliable is the only one I could find.

Also remember, just because it's a long-held and long-uncontested belief, that doesn't mean it's true.
I think Allyson Johnson, Kathleen Delaney and Caren Manuel can tell you that.
Oh yea another Pokemon example I can think of where a long-held belief happened was [[Megan Hollingshead]] vs. [[Lee Quick]] (Officer Jenny). or [[Megan Hollingshead]] vs. [[Emily Niebo]] (computer in second [[M02|Pokemon Movie]]
thanks.

== Aromatherapy ==
As it has been stated many times before, moves need to be named or have to have a unique animation, so why did a user add the recurring Shaymin in the anime as one who has used the move? I keep having to tell people like Finnishpokefan that moves need to be stated, but they keep adding them despite this and then add them back when they've been removed for not being stated. I thought this rule was meant to be followed, but it keeps getting ignored. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 13:45, 15 April 2019 (UTC)
:I do not start edit wars with you anymore, but this still frustrates me: it's clearly a move that Shaymin can learn which cures status conditions. Aromatherapy fits that bill perfectly. And said move hasn't been used previously in the Sun & Moon series, so there is nothing to contradict it. PS. A minor quibble, but could you please write my user name properly in the future?

::::Closed captions have now confirmed that the move Shaymin used in SM118 was indeed Aromatherapy. However, for some reason, Force Fire considers SM134 as the move's debut episode, despite SM118 being chronologically the first episode where it was used. He claims that the first instance the move is called out counts as the debut, which I strongly disagree with. I say the first chronological instance should be the one to count, since closed captions are considered a reliable enough source for disputed move confirmation.

== Situation ==

Hello, Abcboy. How are you doing today? FinnishPokéFan92 and I have a problem. It’s the episodes. When SM117 came out in the dub, I was able to watch it. Then when Team Rocket showed up and stolen Sandy, Meltan and Shaymin and got out soon after, Shaymin used Aromatherapy to heal Sandy in that episode even though nobody said it, but it was revealed in closed captions. Similar to Kiawe's Marowak's moves. We talked to Force Fire about this, but no luck. And I always have proof about the attacks and never give wrong info. So I dunno what we should do now since the episode is already locked along with SM134.

== what does HS stand for ==

Hello
Recently you renamed side stories episodes from I.E. [[HS01|SS001]] to [[HS01]]
What does HS stand for?
for the BW and XY ones I get that BWS is Black & White or Best Wishes special, and XYS is XY special, but what is HS?
[[User:African Vulture|African Vulture]] ([[User talk:African Vulture|talk]]) 03:21, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

I innitially thought that it was "Hoenn special, " but that would be stupid because the only one of those that my research shows me takes place in Hoenn is [[HS03|We're No Angels!]] with [[HS12|training days]] is a bit ambiguous as to which region it is set in as it shows mostly flashbacks, so it could be Kanto, it could be Johto or it could be Hoenn.
At best you got two specials set in Hoenn if you count HS12 as being set in Hoenn, with the rest of Chronicle sbeing set exclusively in Kanto and Johto. I believe CVI Islands are part of it too.
So I'm not sure what HS would stand for since Hoenn special makes 0 sense given that at best 2 of 18 are set in Hoenn.

== Your opinion ==

Hi, I'd like to have your (personal, non-binding) input on a few things:
#For interwiki links, if there's a redirect at another wiki that redirects to a section on some other page that wiki, do you prefer to interwiki that redirect, the section, or not at all? Example: for Great Ball, would you link [[:it:Mega Ball]], [[:it:Poké Ball#Mega Ball]], or nothing Italian? (I'm just wondering what you and/or BulbaBot would prefer ''and why'', I certainly don't mean to go fix links.)
#Do you know whether it is common for (early) Japanese Pokémon names to have alternate spellings? Do you think alternate spellings are notable? (Concrete case: Nishida [https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp:80/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM said] she designed "スピア" rather than {{p|Beedrill|スピアー}}, for example, and I wonder what to do with that.)
#Why does [[Template:DL]] have a third param, or why should it have? Is there any benefit (well, apart from it being actually used that way now, I guess)? I guess what I'm asking is: Do you see any reason why the third param was added in the first place? Why should anyone use <nowiki>{{DL|A|B|C}}</nowiki> rather than <nowiki>[[A#B|C]]</nowiki>? (I hope you get what I mean.)
Thank you for answering. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

:#BulbaBot will automatically attempt to change an interwiki link to a redirect to the destination of that redirect, even if it's to a section. (This does mean that if it-wiki creates a page at it:Mega Ball, it will find a conflict between the two pages and not automatically correct it.)
:#We know a lot of the Pokémon had codenames and even different names entirely. That particular case seems more like a typo to me, honestly.
:#Parallelism in a list of other section links using DL, perhaps; in general the plain link for cases like that is much clearer IMO. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:19, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
::#So, what I'm reading is the first alternative wouldn't last too long, and also that there's no conflict if sections on the same page (like it:Poké Ball) are the interwiki target of multiple, distinct pages, is that correct? (If so, out of curiosity, where would Bulbabot's Italian counterpart link back to, if at all, given there wasn't already a link to en:Poké Ball?) What about the second alternative vs. the third?
::#Are you talking about Generation I Japanese names that predate the release of Red and Green? If so, can you point me somewhere? I think I never heard that, even less saw a list. It's very obvious for Gen II by the Spaceworld demo, but for Generation I (..and I'm about to look for some helixchamber articles again to see if I'm mistaken), weren't the names often fixed before the designs??? (Since that Nishida site was first captured in Jan 1998, yes, スピア could easily just be a typo.)

:::Ok, #2 research didn't take too long, [https://helixchamber.com/2018/12/24/how-the-capumon-stole-christmas/ you're right] (and I'm probably right about "often"). If you happen to have a list, still feel free to share it. :) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:04, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

::::Section links aren't followed except to check that the page in question exists and isn't a redirect, so it won't add any links from it:Poké Ball to any pages linking to a section of that page. This means it also wouldn't add any links back to it:Poké Ball unless there was a link to the page directly. No link and a section link is the same as far as the target wiki is concerned, they don't exist there.
::::As for parallelism, something like "{{DL|Mail|Favored Mail}}, {{DL|Mail|Thanks Mail}}, and {{DL|Mail|BridgeMail M|Bridge Mail M}} are programmed into X and Y" or some other example where most of the links are to section titles with some exceptions. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:22, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

:::::Thanks for clarifying. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 18:11, 19 October 2019 (UTC)
::::::A section link is more useful to the end-user and is fine in most cases, though the Italian wiki has been in the process of splitting some of their item lists, so I would avoid actively adding them. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:29, 19 October 2019 (UTC)

== Inconsistency in episode numbering ==

Hi. Recently, the special episodes changed their numbering and it's a lot better. However, there's still inconsistency.

[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]] and [[Snow Way Out!]] aired out of order without edits and are not numbered. [[EP052]] and [[EP053]] also aired out of order and without edits, but are numbered according to when they aired. [[BW037]] aired out of original order and with edits, and is also numbered according to when it aired. [[XY024]] also aired out of order and without edits, but is numbered according to when it was supposed to air (following the chronology of the story). The official count for the 1,000th episode in Japan includes all of these.

These numberings contradict each other. In my opinion, it would be best to have unedited episodes numbered according to when they were supposed to air (although the existence of [[EP039]] may make it difficult). Also, unaired episodes ([[AG101 (unaired)]], [[BW023 (unaired)]], [[BW024 (unaired)]]) having their names as their titles would make more sense to me. What do you think? Is it already being discussed? Thanks. --[[User:RafaelGN|RafaelGN]] ([[User talk:RafaelGN|talk]]) 13:35, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

== Bulbapedia block appeal ==

Dear abcboy, dear Editorial Board,

per the {{bp|Blocking policy}}, I am hereby appealing Pumpkinking's recent one-month block issued by Force Fire.

I laid out reasons for why I request this block be re-evaluated at Force Fire's talk page. I'm concerned that ForceFire's lack of self reflection does not enable them to properly evaluate matters on their own, in particular when possibly combined with a personal bias (as hinted at by their response, as well as simply by them being one party in this dispute).

Furthermore, I would like you to mediate as far as the content level of that discussion is concerned, i.e. all possible blockable offense aside. Personally, I'd prefer there be no hidden note at all, but if there must, it should be reasonable (e.g., much like after Pumpkinking's rewording).

== I have a question ==

Hello Bulbapedia. I hope it's okay that I'm asking this here. I'm just curious: is there a list of articles that need to have typos fixed or information added to them? I joined here recently and while I have been using the Random Page link to find pages to edit, I thought it might help me if I could work on things that have specifically been identified as needing to be done. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 16:11, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

== Userspace policy ==

Users are not permitted to have userspace content on talk pages until they become {{bp|autoconfirmed users}}.

Please read and follow the userspace policy in the future. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

== Talk pages, again ==

Your talk page isn't for saving material that is to be added to another article, either. Either you add the saved material to the appropriate article right away or, if you're locked out of editing said article or for whatever other reason, you create a sandbox article where you can store all of that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:46, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:Also, don't remove talk page messages. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:31, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

::First, you removed messages of mine from my talk page. Why are you allowed to do that while I'm not? Second, what messages did I remove from here? I only added back the messages of mine that you deleted. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 02:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:::Did you not read my edit summary? Those are NOT allowed on your talk page, thus they can be removed. Plus, you removed my original warning about saving, on your talk page, material that you want added to another article. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:40, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

::::I don't always notice edit summaries, so sorry for not catching that. And I can see the difference between your removals and mine. Finally, I honestly did not intend to remover your warning. I was just trying to restore my own edits. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 02:48, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

== Diffs ==

You can compare certain edits using the edit history by using the differences (or "diffs") to your advantage. For example, for [[Maxie (EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua 73)]], you'd see that [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Maxie_%28EX_Team_Magma_vs_Team_Aqua_73%29&type=revision&diff=3035626&oldid=2237557 we both removed the commas] in the "Trivia" section. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:25, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

== Pointless edits ==

Please do not make pointless edits, like you did to Araquanid (TCG), they are unconstructive and can be seen as vandalism. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:47, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

:Sorry about that. I had simply been curious as to whether I could change the color of templates, so that's why I made such a small edit and then undid it right after. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 08:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

== Userspace policy again ==

Hey! You're only allowed a small number of edits to your userspace, e.g. userpages, sandbox articles, etc. I'm not sure about the exact number, but it looks like you may be over the limit already. Seeing as you've just returned from a two-week block, I advise you to cool it down with those edits and focus on the mainspace now. Thank you.

:Since you've edited your user page 12 times in the day since your third warning about violations of the {{bp|userspace policy}}, your userspace editing privileges have been revoked.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

'''Pumpkaboo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バケッチャ''' ''Bakeccha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gourgeist}} when [[trade]]d.

Pumpkaboo comes in [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist|four different variations]]: '''Small Size''', '''Average Size''', '''Large Size''', and '''Super Size'''.

==Biology==
Pumpkaboo is a ghostly Pokémon that has four sizes: Small, Average, Large, and Super Size. Encasing its lower body is a pinkish pumpkin with a pair of nubby legs. Carved into the pumpkin is a pair of circular holes that glow yellow-orange. Pumpkaboo's shadowy black body pokes out of the top of the pumpkin. It has glowing yellow eyes, a pair of fangs in its upper jaw, and pointed ears that curve slightly. On top of its head is a long tuft of fur that curls tightly at the tip. A collar of furry-looking tufts hangs over the edge of the pumpkin.

Pumpkaboo becomes active after dark. The holes in its body can glow and illuminate the way for travelers in the dark. It is said that it also carries wandering spirits to the afterlife. However, its own spirit is trapped in this world. Pumpkaboo and its evolution {{p|Gourgeist}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jessie Pumpkaboo.png|thumb|220px|left|Super Size Pumpkaboo in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]]====
Pumpkaboo debuted in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', where [[Jessie]] tripped over a Super Size Pumpkaboo in a forest. When she came out of the ground, she threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at her and successfully {{pkmn2|caught}} her. She later evolved after being traded in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]''.

====Other====
A Small Size Pumpkaboo named Prince Pumpkaboo appeared in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', under the ownership of [[Count Pumpka]]. He fell in love with Jessie's Pumpkaboo and a trade was agreed on. However, when the trade caused Jessie's Pumpkaboo to evolve into Gourgeist, Prince Pumpkaboo rejected her.

===Minor appearances===
A Pumpkaboo appeared as an image in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pumpkaboo appeared during a flashback in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]''.

==Trivia==
* A Super Size Pumpkaboo has a different cry from its other three forms, which is pitched lower.
* Only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo can have its Hidden Ability {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability as the [[Spooky 2014 Super Size Pumpkaboo]].

===Origin===
Pumpkaboo is based on a {{wp|pumpkin}}, specifically the ones carved into {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}s for {{wp|Halloween}}. Pumpkins are also known for their variety of sizes, possibly contributing to the four sizes Pumpkaboo comes in. Considering its fangs, black upper body, and affiliation with Halloween, it may also be based on bats, which are also associated with the holiday.

====Name origin====
Pumpkaboo may be a combination of ''pumpkin'' and ''boo'' (a common word used to startle people) or ''{{wp|Peekaboo|peek-a-boo}}''.

Bakeccha may be a combination of お化け ''obake'' (ghost) and 南瓜 ''kabocha'' (pumpkin).

Primal Reversion

[[File:Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre artwork.png|thumb|250px|Primal {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}]]
'''Primal Reversion''' (Japanese: '''ゲンシカイキ''' ''Primal Regression'') is an ancient transformation affecting {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that debuted in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Pokémon that have undergone Primal Reversion are distinguished by the word "Primal" in front of their species name. Primal Reversion is said to restore a Pokémon's true powers as it absorbs the energy of nature to greatly increase its power.

==Gameplay==
===In battle===
In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|orb]]. Like Mega Stones, orbs cannot be removed during battle if held by the appropriate Pokémon. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], however, the player does not need a [[Key Stone]] or have to manually trigger Primal Reversion; it will simply happen automatically after the Pokémon enters battle and after any [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] take effect, but before the activation of [[weather]]-changing {{Abilities}}.

In a [[Rotation Battle]], the Pokémon will only undergo Primal Reversion if it is sent out in the primary position; the Primal Reversion will not activate if the Pokémon is sent out in a secondary position at the start of the battle and then rotated to the primary position. Also, unlike Mega Evolution and [[Ultra Burst]], there is no limit to the number of times a Primal Reversion may be performed per battle.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Primal Groudon anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Primal Groudon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Primal Kyogre anime.png|thumb|220px|Primal Kyogre in the anime]]
Primal {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon (XY)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (XY)|Kyogre}} both appeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', where they had a clash with one another off the coast of [[Rustboro City]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} attempted to fight the ancient Pokémon with their [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X and Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}, but they were soon overpowered. Soon after, a Mega {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Rayquaza}} appeared, battled, and eventually managed to defeat the two Primal Pokémon, causing them to return to their regular forms.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', where they were summoned and controlled by {{an|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} along with the [[creation trio]] and {{p|Kyurem}} to attack {{Ash}}, {{AP|Pikachu}}, Hoopa Confined, a {{Shiny}} Rayquaza, and the [[Eon duo]] in [[Dahara City]].

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Primal Groudon PG.png|thumb|left|220px|Primal Groudon in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Primal Kyogre PG.png|thumb|220px|Primal Kyogre in Pokémon Generations]]
Primal Groudon appeared in {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}'s vision in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]''. She imagined it attacking [[Maxie]], [[Tabitha]], and the rest of [[Team Magma]], but this did not deter her from her Team's plans for long.

Primal Kyogre appeared in ''[[PG08|The Cavern]]''. Despite [[Shelly]]'s insistence not to, Archie awakened it in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. It proceeded to cause destruction across [[Hoenn]], and eventually prepared to attack Archie and Shelly.

===In the Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre both appeared in the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Primal Groudon Adventures.png|thumb|left|200px|Primal Groudon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Primal Kyogre Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Primal Kyogre in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] used the Red and Blue Orbs to transform {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} into their Primal forms in order to help save the {{pkmn|world}} from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] headed for the planet. After some training at the [[Meteor Falls]], both Primal Pokémon managed to master their special moves; {{m|Precipice Blades}} and {{m|Origin Pulse}}, respectively. However, both ancient Pokémon, even when assisted by {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, completely exhausted themselves while destroying a large piece of the meteoroid falling before the main body, causing them to revert to their regular forms.

[[File:PrimalKyogreEXPrimalClash55.jpg|200px|thumb|Primal Kyogre-EX]]
Primal Reversion were brought into the Trading Card Game with the release of {{TCG|Primal Clash}} ({{TCG|Gaia Volcano}} • {{TCG|Tidal Storm}} in Japan). Primal Reversion is an extension of the {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Pokémon-EX}} mechanic, evolving from the long-standing Pokémon-EX. The only Primal Pokémon-EX are the {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Kyogre-EX|55}} and {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Groudon-EX|86}} cards from Primal Clash and {{TCG|Ancient Origins}}. Although not exclusive to the mechanic, each Primal Reversion Pokémon features a new card effect named ''Ancient Trait'', providing an additional effect for each card. The Ancient Origins prints feature the {{shiny}} versions of the Pokémon, and replaces the original Ancient Traits with θ Max, but are otherwise identical to the Primal Clash cards.

[[File:Akane HIBAPC.png|thumb|200px|Akane]]
'''Akane''' (Japanese: '''アカネ''' ''Akane'') is a recurring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]. She first appeared in the chapter named ''[[PW04|Akane-Colored Eevee]]''.

==History==
When her parents died shortly after her birth, Akane was raised by her grandfather. She loves flowers a lot and will often scold her {{p|Eevee}} whenever it plays in the flower garden. Even though she owns an Eevee, she actually dislikes Pokémon and thinks that they are only good for fighting. When her Eevee is later rescued from [[Team Rocket]], she learns from her grandfather that she loved Pokémon when she was a baby. It was also the reason her grandfather decided to research Pokémon and was given an Eevee.

|desc={{p|Eevee}} is Akane's first Pokémon, given as a present by her grandfather. Eevee loves to follow Akane even though it makes her angry. After running into the park, Akane gives her "sick" Eevee to [[Team Rocket]] to cure it.

Eevee's only known move is {{m|Quick Attack}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Akane shares the same Japanese name with the [[Gym Leader]] [[Whitney]].
**All of Akane's Pokémon (except for Nidoran♂) are Normal type, which is Whitney's specialty. However, the Gym Leader also owns a {{p|Nidorina}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} and in the [[Ash & Pikachu]] manga.

==Blurb==

Ash and May have made it all the way to Petalburg City—the first city with a gym. Ash is very excited to take on the gym leader. May seems a little uneasy—perhaps it's because she hasn't yet told Ash that her father, Norman, is the gym leader in Petalburg! When Ash first gets to the gym, he meets May's little brother, Max, who is pretending to be the gym leader. Max knows a lot about Pokémon and can't wait until he's old enough to become a trainer. Once Ash finally meets Norman, he learns that he will need three Pokémon in order to battle at the gym. He only has Pikachu with him. When Norman agrees to an unofficial battle, Ash encounters his first Vigoroth. Ash realizes that he will have to train hard in order to win a badge in Petalburg City. After a quick scuffle with Team Rocket, Ash and May are ready to hit the road again. Max has decided to tag along, too!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} runs over to a cliff and sees [[Petalburg City]] up ahead, however {{an|May}} begs for him to wait up for her to catch up. Later the pair sits down in a park, and Ash is quick to bring up the [[Hoenn League]]. He asks May if she is wanting to compete in the League, but she is startled and laughs off the idea. Ash wonders what the Petalburg [[Gym Leader]] is like, and May replies that she is sure "he" is a nice guy. He is immediately suspicious by May's odd familiarity with the Gym Leader, but she admits that she has heard a lot about him on the streets. Ash suggests they go to the [[Gym]] together, though May rushes off to take care of things. Ash doesn't mind, however, and tells {{AP|Pikachu}} that they are going to the Gym for his {{pkmn|battle}}.

Ash soon reaches the [[Petalburg Gym]], steps inside, and reaches the main arena. He tries introducing himself to present a challenge, but there is initially no response. Ash tries again, just as a young boy carrying books walks into the room. The boy recognizes Ash and asks him if he was in the [[Silver Conference]]. Ash confirms this and says he got all the way to victory round. The boy tries to remember Ash's name and guesses it is "Alf". After Ash corrects him, the boy goes onto criticize Ash's performance against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Ash becomes infuriated by the young boy's sharp comments and orders him to call out the Gym Leader. In a surprising twist, the boy claims he is the Gym Leader. Ash doubts it, but immediately asks if he could challenge him and the boy accepts. As both of them prepare battle, the boy says that they will each use three Pokémon, though Ash only has Pikachu to fight for him. At that moment, May peers through a window and returns with two other people, her parents. May asks the boy, who turns out to be her little brother [[Max]], what he is doing acting like the Gym Leader.

May formally introduces her family to Ash. It is revealed that Max is too young to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and Max and May's father, [[Norman]], is the real Gym Leader. May's mother, [[Caroline]] thanks Ash for helping escort May home. Caroline then turns her attention to May's missing [[bicycle]], and she explains that [[AG001|Pikachu shocked it to a crisp]]. Max asks to see which [[starter Pokémon]] May chose, and she sends out {{TP|May|Torchic}}. Max is disappointed that May picked Torchic, and states that he would have picked {{p|Treecko}}, which causes Torchic to start {{m|peck}}ing him, much to Ash's amusement. Caroline doesn't mind the extra company, so Ash decides to enjoy lunch with the family. Over the dinner table, Ash reveals that he used to travel with {{ashfr}}. During the meal, Ash asks about the rules Norman uses for his matches; Max makes a comment that it was the same rules as he stated before, a three-on-three match. When Ash is dismayed by this, Caroline tells him that he can have his Pokémon sent to the [[Pokémon Center]]. However, Ash replies that he wants to start fresh and only use Pokémon he catches in [[Hoenn]]. Norman is impressed by Ash’s ambitions and offers him an unofficial match, but Ash doesn't mind. Just after lunch, everyone goes back to the arena for the battle.

As the battle starts, Ash uses Pikachu and Norman sends out {{p|Vigoroth}}. Ash looks it up on his [[Pokédex]] to see how to handle the Pokémon. When the Pokédex tells him that Vigoroth is both powerful and quick, Ash feels he has an advantage since he emphasizes on speed. Unbeknownst to everyone, {{TRT}} has been spying on them through a window. The villainous trio plan their next move to see if they can snag Ash's Pikachu, and maybe the Gym Leader's Pokémon. The first strike is a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Pikachu, but Vigoroth uses its quick reflexes to easily jump away. Vigoroth soon runs towards Pikachu at high speed and {{m|Slash}}es him. As a result, Ash switches from {{t|Electric}} [[move]]s to physical attacks, and Pikachu sprints into a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Even so, Pikachu's speed is still no match for Vigoroth; Pikachu ends up being tossed around, and is eventually defeated.

Suddenly, Team Rocket blows a hole in one of the Gym's walls. Unaware of the threat, Caroline thanks Team Rocket for assisting May on her journey so far, thinking they are friends. Team Rocket scoffs at the idea and launches into their {{motto}}. [[Jessie]] then sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and [[James]] calls on {{TP|James|Weezing}} to attack the group. Weezing uses {{m|Smokescreen}}, as Arbok use {{m|Headbutt}} on Pikachu. Vigoroth decides to help, but when it cannot see through the Smokescreen, Max suggests that May should use her Pokémon. Nervously, May calls out her {{TP|May|Torchic}}, but as she pauses to think, Arbok lands an attack on Torchic. As Jessie gets ready to steal Vigoroth and Pikachu, Ash has Pikachu use Thunderbolt on them, but it hits Max by accident. As Ash checks to see if he is okay, Team Rocket escapes in the Smokescreen. Once the dust settles, May realizes she has lost her Torchic.

The Rocket trio flee in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]]. They soon land, and [[Jessie]] reaches into the loot bag to find Torchic instead. Torchic retaliates and lands an {{m|Ember}} attack on James's face. Jessie is upset, admitting that Torchic is definitely not Team Rocket material. {{MTR}} comes up with a backup plan and suggests they use Torchic as bait to get Pikachu. Meanwhile, May's family and Ash decides to split up to cover more ground in their search for Torchic. Caroline and Norman search together, leaving the children on their own. Max first attempts to use a magnifying glass to find footprints, but May reminds him that Team Rocket fled in a balloon. May’s parents soon return with good news; they've located Team Rocket nearby. They reach the clearing, and Ash confirms that the balloon is unmistakably Team Rocket’s. May spots her Torchic stuck in a cage, so she and little brother rush forward. Ash tries to call them back, but it is too late as the pair fall into a hole. Norman and Caroline run after them; Ash tries to stop them as well, but they fall into another pitfall trap. The Rocket trio emerge from hiding to laugh at the family’s predicament.

Ash reaches for {{AP|Bayleef}}'s [[Poké Ball]], but he quickly remembers that he only has Pikachu with him. As Ash peers into the pitfall trap, Jessie calls for Arbok to attack. Ash sends Pikachu out to confront the Rocket trio while he helps May and Max out of the hole. Caroline and Norman make it out on their own. Norman is infuriated at the Rocket trio for stealing his daughter's first Pokémon and he sends Vigoroth into the fray. James calls on Weezing to even things out. Meanwhile, Max sneaks passed and reaches Torchic's cage, freeing it. Torchic returns to May, who tries to use its attacks at Max's suggestion. Meanwhile, Arbok wraps itself around Vigoroth, so Ash has Pikachu help it by using Quick Attack on Arbok. Then, May tries to use Torchic's "Amber" attack, but Max corrects her, saying she meant "Ember". When May commands it again, Torchic attacks Max by mistake. This time, she tells it to use Peck, but again it attacks Max. Meanwhile, Arbok Headbutts Pikachu and Vigoroth tackles them both into the balloon. Then, Pikachu finishes it off with Thunderbolt, sending Team Rocket blasting off.

Despite the theft, some good has come of the situation: May and Torchic are already showing signs of bonding. Later, back in front of Norman's Gym, as May and Ash are about to resume their journey, Max insists that he is traveling with them. Norman notes that Max will be a good help thanks to his wide knowledge, while Caroline says it will be a lot less trouble for her. Despite May's clear irritation, Norman asks Ash, who quickly agrees to the idea. As a gift, Norman gives Ash and May a Badge case each and Max is thrilled to receive a [[PokéNav]]. With his new toy in hand, Max rushes ahead as Norman directs Ash to [[Rustboro City]] for the closest Gym.

==Trivia==
* The [[eyecatch]]es are updated in this episode to include [[Max]].
* When [[EP007|first arriving]] in [[Cerulean City|her home city]], {{an|Misty}} was also wary of {{Ash}} going to the local [[Gym]] because of it being run by family, just like {{an|May}} is in this episode.
* When May calls out Amber instead of {{m|Ember}}, an image of a mushroom goes across the screen. This was a joke that was only understandable in the Japanese version because ''kinoko'' (mushroom) sounds very similar to ''hinoko'' (Ember).

* Music from ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' can be heard in this episode.
* This is the first episode where an instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] is used as the new action sequence in the Japanese version. This arrangement is used throughout the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and as its preview theme.

===Errors===
* The scene with {{p|Blaziken}}'s hands being red instead of gray is used for a flashback.

* After [[Ash's Pikachu]] lost the battle to [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, the back of Ash's shoe had a different design between scenes.
* When Ash is thinking about his {{AP|Noctowl}}, his shirt is missing.
* When they find {{TRT}}'s hot-air balloon, Norman's left hand is missing.
* At the end of the episode, Ash and May are leaving and waving goodbye. However, instead of walking off-screen, for a split-second, they appear to walk in place at the screen boundary.

===Dub edits===
* Two separate scenes showing [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s Ember attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* After the scene when James is caught on fire, the scene of Torchic with a sad expression was also taken out from the dub.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB}} version of this episode and [[List of English language Pokémon Advanced home video releases (Region 1)|first two North American home video releases]], the {{i|Poké Ball}} design on Ash's and May's Badge cases are painted over and replaced with rectangles. This edit occurs every time Ash's Badge case appears in the Hoenn saga, though it initially did not happen in international airings. This also does not occur in the [[List of English language Pokémon Advanced home video releases (Region 1)|2017 North American home video release]], Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings, [[List of English language Pokémon Advanced home video releases (Region 4)|Australian home video releases]], [[Pokémon TV]], Disney NOW, and [[List of digital home video releases of Pokémon anime|digital home video releases]].

==Blurb==

Ash and May have made it all the way to Petalburg City—the first city with a gym. Ash is very excited to take on the gym leader. May seems a little uneasy—perhaps it's because she hasn't yet told Ash that her father, Norman, is the gym leader in Petalburg! When Ash first gets to the gym, he meets May's little brother, Max, who is pretending to be the gym leader. Max knows a lot about Pokémon and can't wait until he's old enough to become a trainer. Once Ash finally meets Norman, he learns that he will need three Pokémon in order to battle at the gym. He only has Pikachu with him. When Norman agrees to an unofficial battle, Ash encounters his first Vigoroth. Ash realizes that he will have to train hard in order to win a badge in Petalburg City. After a quick scuffle with Team Rocket, Ash and May are ready to hit the road again. Max has decided to tag along, too!

* Music from ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'' can be heard in this episode.
* This is the first episode where an instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] is used as the new action sequence in the Japanese version. This arrangement is used throughout the {{series|Advanced Generation}} and as its preview theme.

===Errors===
* The scene with {{p|Blaziken}}'s hands being red instead of gray is used for a flashback.
* Ash calls Max by name before knowing him.
* After [[Ash's Pikachu]] lost the battle to [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, the back of Ash's shoe had a different design between scenes.
* When Ash is thinking about his {{AP|Noctowl}}, his shirt is missing.
* When they find {{TRT}}'s hot-air balloon, Norman's left hand is missing.
* At the end of the episode, Ash and May are leaving and waving goodbye. However, instead of walking off-screen, for a split-second, they appear to walk in place at the screen boundary.

===Dub edits===
* Two separate scenes showing [[James]]'s head and Max on fire due to {{TP|May|Torchic}}'s Ember attack were cut from the dub for being too violent.
* After the scene when James is caught on fire, the scene of Torchic with a sad expression was also taken out from the dub.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon in the United States|Kids' WB}} version of this episode and [[List of English language Pokémon Advanced home video releases (Region 1)|first two North American home video releases]], the {{i|Poké Ball}} design on Ash's and May's Badge cases are painted over and replaced with rectangles. This edit occurs every time Ash's Badge case appears in the Hoenn saga, though it initially did not happen in international airings. This also does not occur in the [[List of English language Pokémon Advanced home video releases (Region 1)|2017 North American home video release]], Cartoon Network and Boomerang airings, [[List of English language Pokémon Advanced home video releases (Region 4)|Australian home video releases]], [[Pokémon TV]], Disney NOW, and [[List of digital home video releases of Pokémon anime|digital home video releases]].

The '''Sinnoh''' region (Japanese: '''{{tt|シンオウ地方|シンオウちほう}}''' ''Sinnoh-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located north of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]]. It is the setting of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It was the fourth [[main series]] region to be introduced.

Sinnoh is composed of the large mainland, the [[Battle Zone]] on another landmass to the northeast, and several smaller islands on both sides of the [[region]]. Most of Sinnoh's routes are on land, having very few water routes, in vast contrast to [[Hoenn]]. The region is divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Sinnoh}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Sinnoh region as the island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}]]
[[File:Sinnoh.png|thumb|right|250px|In-game map of the Sinnoh region]]
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Sinnoh's name denotes "mysteries" (神奥)<ref>[https://lineblog.me/masudajunichi/archives/7586253.html Junichi Masuda's Official Blog: Happy 10th Anniversary to Pokémon Diamond and pearl!](Japanese)</ref>, possibly in reference to the [[Sinnoh myths|various myths]] of the region. The geography of the Sinnoh region is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} and southern part of the Russian island {{wp|Sakhalin}}, as well as {{wp|Kunashir}}, which is claimed by Japan, but administered by Russia. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula.

Most of all cities and towns in Sinnoh are positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of the Japan while most of its design is based on it as well. [[Jubilife City]] is Sinnoh's largest city, which is based on {{wp|Sapporo, Hokkaido|Sapporo City}}, Hokkaido's largest city, while [[Veilstone City]] is based upon {{wp|Abashiri, Hokkaido|Abashiri City}}, a major port city.

Geographical features are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mt. Coronet]] based from the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}}, the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}} , the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}}, the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}}, and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}}. The three lakes of Sinnoh mimic {{wp|Lake Toya|Lake Tōya}}, {{wp|Lake Kussharo}} and Lake Kutcharo. The [[Sendoff Spring|fourth lake of Sinnoh]] is similar to {{wp|Lake Mashu|Lake Mashū}}, which is also known as a mysterious spot that has a dense layer of fog hiding the surface most of the time.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers. Routes in Sinnoh do not run concurrent to routes in Hokkaido; instead starting over after the set of routes in Hoenn.

==History==
According to several [[Sinnoh myths]], this region was the first of all the regions in the Pokémon world to have been created. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} came into being, which then hatched into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus created {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and possibly {{p|Giratina}}, and Arceus then gave Dialga and Palkia the abilities to control time and space, respectively. Giratina was banished to [[Distortion World|another dimension]] for its violent behavior. Then, during the very early formation of the world, Arceus created {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, things that are in all modern humans and Pokémon. They dove to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], an act which earned them the name "the lake trio". At that point, Arceus created the Sinnoh region and [[Mt. Coronet]] divided the region into two sections. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] was created and {{p|Heatran}} was formed in lava. Arceus finally created the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep at the [[Hall of Origin]].

Around this time, {{p|Mew}} was thought to have come into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist and exist in the future. Human habitation of Sinnoh is estimated to have begun when Sinnoh was created, as said in [[Sinnoh myths|myth]]. It is stated that Pokémon and humans led separate lives, but always helped each other. They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other. A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans, and that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always. Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to humans if they venture into [[tall grass]].
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|left|250px|Palkia, Giratina, and Dialga on the Spear Pillar.]]
Later on came the events of [[Floaroma Town]]. According to the townspeople, Floaroma Town was once a barren and desolate hill. People started planting flowers around it to cheer up the place, but nothing would grow. Then, someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, and the whole hill burst into bloom. It is theorized that {{p|Shaymin}} was the cause of the sudden burst of flowers, given it being the Gratitude Pokémon, and its ability to "instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers," according to its [[Pokédex]] entry.

{{spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon, like the recently reported [[red Gyarados]], in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. After receiving one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to call their own, their journey begins in earnest, and both Lucas/Dawn and Barry challenge the Sinnoh region's eight Gyms to gain the Badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} (or {{p|Giratina}} in Platinum canon), Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself. In {{game|Platinum}}, Cyrus accidentally opened a portal to the [[Distortion World]] above [[Mt. Coronet]] while trying to create a new world for himself. The portal atop Mt. Coronet was able to be closed, but a passageway to this strange dimension still remains on the [[Turnback Cave|depths]] of [[Sendoff Spring]].

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Sinnoh Region.png|thumb|300px|A detailed version of the in-game map of the Sinnoh region from [[Generation IV]] games]]
Sinnoh has fourteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]], as well as three "areas", and a {{si|Pokémon League}}. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Fight Area]], the [[Survival Area]] and the [[Resort Area]] all act as towns, however, they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. These three "areas" are located off Sinnoh's mainland and on the [[Battle Zone]], which is considered a sub-region of Sinnoh and is implied by some living on the island as a different region altogether, not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Thus, Sinnoh has a total of eighteen settlements all over Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh region has 30 different [[route]]s, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. 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|Sinnoh}} to {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many water routes; there are many land routes and mountains. There are also several routes with differing [[weather]]. 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|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, which both have two limbs of equal length.

Although it has few [[water route]]s, Sinnoh 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. These are home to the [[lake guardians]]. Near Lake Valor there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]]. Some other significant locations that Sinnoh offers include [[Mt. Coronet]], the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region and part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half; the [[Eterna Forest]], a large and mysterious forest; and the [[Great Marsh]], a popular habitat for Pokémon and a [[Safari Zone]] for many Trainers.

In the anime, the Sinnoh region is far enough away to require going from Kanto to Sinnoh by either ship (as Ash, Pikachu, and Aipom did), or by truck (as evidenced by how Brock arrived in the region).

===Demographics===
The Sinnoh region's towns, cities and other areas have a total population of 704 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 755 in {{game|Platinum}}.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Mt. Coronet.png|left|thumb|200px|[[Mt. Coronet]] range, which divides the region into two parts]]
Sinnoh is home to many unique landmarks and areas of interest. These come in a range of tourist attractions such as the luxurious [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the exciting [[Pal Park]], to many natural phenomena such as the four deep, blue lakes and the vast, dense [[Eterna Forest]]. But the central landmark of the Sinnoh region is Mt. Coronet. Standing in the middle of Sinnoh and extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, Mt. Coronet splits Sinnoh into two halves. It is best defined as a mountain range, with its highest peak shrouded in legend, perhaps being the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. The Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon which is in ruins. Several of its pillars are still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the [[creation trio]] is deeply connected with the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, which have different shapes and coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.

On the north part of the region in the [[Battle Zone]], there is another mountain range, [[Stark Mountain]], which consists of an active volcano. The volcano rains ash down upon some parts of the Battle Zone. Outside the cavern is a rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews. Inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns. Another important landmark of Sinnoh is [[Eterna Forest]], a forest home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon. The Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned [[Old Chateau]] to the strange [[Moss Rock]]. The Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, where a lot of people get lost. Eterna Forest has apparently been the location of numerous sightings of [[Team Galactic]], for many unknown reasons.

Another major landmark is the [[Great Marsh]]. The Great Marsh is a giant wetland that is subject to frequent or continuous flood. It houses many different kinds of Pokémon, some of which are unique to this environment. [[Pastoria City]] was settled to protect the area. It has grown naturally over the years and there is now a lookout that affords views of the Great Marsh. An almost sacred area is the trinity of lakes mysteriously situated throughout the region to form the corners of a triangle. [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] are tied to the myth of the creation of the Pokémon world, specifically the creation of spirit. The lakes are said to be inhabited by three [[Lake guardians|guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively.

[[File:Sinnoh Underground Map DPPt.png|thumb|250px|[[The Underground]]; a series of tunnels dug out below Sinnoh]]
[[The Underground]] is a famous attraction to the Sinnoh region, because of the fact that it is not located above the surface of the region, but below in a series of tunnels dug out by people. There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining game in which rare items can be found.

The Sinnoh region is the only area where an extreme natural phenomenon has occurred; the gateway to another universe has opened due to the actions of {{p|Giratina}}. At first, Giratina uses [[Turnback Cave]], a cave located in the depths of the mysterious and secret fourth lake of Sinnoh, [[Sendoff Spring]], as a portal to the [[Distortion World]]. It is said that Turnback Cave is a weak point between dimensions, and that the ability to travel across to the Distortion World would be possible. The Distortion World is a mysterious place that disobeys the normal laws of physics: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground, and then disappear. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Sinnohan people have been shown to preserve historical knowledge, which include the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] passed on from generation to generation. The appreciation for the region's rich history has led them to produce a number of monuments and to erect many cultural heritage institutions that have become popular landmarks. Statues dedicated to the Legendary Pokémon Dialga and Palkia can be found inside the {{DL|Lilypad Town|Lilypad Colosseum}} and at the entrance gates to the [[Eterna Historical Museum]], and the [[Celestic Town Historical Research Center]], presided by {{pkmn|Champion}} [[Cynthia]]'s grandmother, [[Professor Carolina]], has staffers working to unveil the mysteries surrounding the region's past. The people living in Sinnoh also recognize the value of community traditions and civic commemorations. Small, local festivals, such as [[Pastoria City]]'s [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival|Croagunk Festival]] and the [[Twinleaf Festival]], are held annually to keep long-standing traditions alive.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Sinnoh Anime.png|thumb|right|290px|Oblique view of the Sinnoh region from above.]]
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. Its terrain is varied: some parts of the region are dry and mountainous; others are wet and swampy. The region is rich in water.

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 {{wp|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 [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home 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.
[[File:Torn World.png|thumb|left|250px|Mt. Coronet's peak, with the entrance to the [[Distortion World]] above it, from the northwest.]]
Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area. This is likely due to the cold climate and snowy terrain in the area. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint 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 the {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223|Sinnoh}}. 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|Sinnoh}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, the [[Seabreak Path]] leads to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Climate===
The climate of Sinnoh varies widely, and most of the region is made of mountainous or hilly areas. 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 that snow falls constantly. The harsh snow that blows down from the mountain's peaks not only makes the area very cold, but makes the {{rt|217|Sinnoh|routes in the area}} perilous to travel on. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] are completely covered in snow, and Pokémon who live nearby have had to adapt to the climate. Recently, the southern side of the region has also become cooler; climate change is taking a toll. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} now have small amounts of snow on the ground.

However, not all of the northern areas of Sinnoh are covered in snow. Due to the dry environments and mountainous areas such as [[Stark Mountain]], the small island known as the [[Battle Zone]] is subject to warmer climates. A constant sandstorm rages on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} due to the flow of wind down though the mountains. Some of the southern areas of the Battle Zone are very tropical and contain dense jungles.
[[File:Sinnoh from the sky.png|thumb|right|250px|A part of the Sinnoh region where the city meets the sea]]
The mainland features full land geography, with only five [[water route]]s. Despite this lack of water routes, in contrast to the [[Hoenn]] region, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water. Rivers that originate from the highlands and mountains in the center of the landmass runs through the region passing many cities, towns, and routes and into the ocean. There are many lakes throughout the region such as [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Verity]]. All these factors create a tropical climate throughout the mainland. Many large cities settle on or close to the seaside; some of them have large ports.

Further inland, there are many different climates. Due to the mountain zones, different inland areas are subject to rain. This rain creates wetlands. Such areas may also be covered partially or completely by shallow pools of water. The soil in the wetland area is permanently saturated with moisture, which creates swamps, marshes, and bogs. In fact, [[Pastoria City]] was founded on marshy soils that attracted wild Pokémon. Unlike other regions, Sinnoh is sometimes troubled by fog. {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} is often covered in a thick cloud that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see; fortunately for travelers, {{m|Defog|this can be easily cleared}}.

===Energy sources===
The Sinnoh region is famed for its energy production and conservation via natural resources. Different areas of Sinnoh use different sources of energy for the use of power generation, heating, and transport fuels. The [[Oreburgh Mine]] is one of the main features in Oreburgh City, as well as the city's leading energy source. Its energy is exported to many parts of the region, including its neighbor, [[Jubilife City]], whose large population consumes a lot of energy. The mine is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas (which is historically the bane of coal miners). The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated.

Another local energy source is the [[Valley Windworks]]. The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to Mt. Coronet, so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from Floaroma Town. In the area, there are eight tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. Many towns benefit from the natural renewable energy including [[Floaroma Town]], and [[Eterna City]].

The third and final renewable energy source Sinnoh has to offer is [[Sunyshore City]]'s solar panels, which are ingeniously designed for the use of power and transportation. Because the city is on the coast and gets hit by a lot of sunlight, the solar panels were built to collect energy for little cost, no pollution, and convenience to the city's citizens. It was also built due to the lack of space. However, there is a disadvantage: the solar panel system is often broken, and the city will experience massive blackouts at times. Citizens of and visitors to the city are able to walk around the city on top of the solar panels.

==Sinnoh League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png‎|thumb|right|250px|The current members of Elite Four]]
The regional Pokémon League in the Sinnoh region is known as the Sinnoh League. The Sinnoh League is composed of eight [[Gym Leader]]s and four [[Elite Four]] members, along with the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Pokémon Trainers who earn eight [[Badge]]s by defeating the Gym Leaders of the Sinnoh League qualify to challenge the Elite Four located in the {{si|Pokémon League}} building. Gym Leaders are located in different cities and towns, each with their own specialty [[type]]. It is the Gym Leader's job to be the protector of their respective town or city, as they should be the strongest Trainer residing there. Once all Gym Leaders have been defeated, Trainers may face the Elite Four and its Champion. To defeat the Elite Four, all five Trainers must be defeated in succession.
{{-}}
===Gym Leaders===
In [[Pokémon Platinum]], [[Fantina]] is the third [[Gym Leader]] fought, with the order otherwise remaining the same.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sinnoh DP artwork.png|thumb|250px|Sinnoh artwork from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond and Pearl}}]]
* 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 the [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle, as well as the same formation put in areas relating to the [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of {{wp|Sakhalin}} is referenced in the region. In the 1855 {{wp|Treaty of Shimoda}}, Russia and Japan agreed to split the island, with Japan receiving the southern end. While Japan gave Russia full control of Sakhalin in 1875 in exchange for the {{wp|Kuril Islands}}, Japan was again given the southern 2/5ths of the island after the {{wp|Russo-Japanese War}} in 1905, and would retain control until 1945.
* Sinnoh is the only region of the [[core series]] games that doesn't have five letters in its English name, having six.
** It is also the only region to not have a notable {{type|Dragon}} expert.
* Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|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, which coincidentally, was the Japanese release of Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. 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 has been shown to have more [[Shiny Pokémon]] inhabiting it than any other region featured in the [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime#Shiny Pokémon|anime]] with a total of seven; [[Austin#Dustox|Dustox]], {{p|Metagross}}, [[Narissa#Ditto 2|Ditto]], {{OBP|Legendary beasts|M13|Raikou, Entei, Suicune}}, and {{p|Ariados}}.
* The adjectival form of Sinnoh is "Sinnohan", as shown in the description for an assortment of [[Poffin]]s being sold by [[Thrifty Megamart]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

The '''Johto''' region (Japanese: '''{{tt|ジョウト地方|ジョウトちほう}}''' ''Johto-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located west of [[Kanto]], and as revealed by the {{DL|Pokégear|radio}} show {{DL|Pokémon Music Channel|Sinnoh Sound}}, is located south of [[Sinnoh]]. It is the setting of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Johto and Kanto are part of a large landmass, with everything west of [[Indigo Plateau]] falling in the Johto region. It was the second [[main series]] region to be introduced.

First explored in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, it is home to an additional 100 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that were not present in [[Generation I|the previous games]]. Players begin their journey in [[New Bark Town]], where [[Professor Elm]] offers either {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or {{p|Totodile}} to beginning [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. The English-version names of most of the cities in Johto are also the names of plants or things related to plants.

Johto returns in [[Generation IV]]'s HeartGold and SoulSilver, with all areas from its [[Generation II]] iteration returning, and several new areas being accessible, such as the {{safari|Johto}}, with the new [[Route]]s {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading to it.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Johto}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Johto region as the {{wp|Kansai region}}.]]
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated in his director's column that the kanji that inspired the name mean "castle palace" (城都) or "lattice-shaped palace" (条都)<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=218 Hidden Power of Masuda: No. 149 (Japanese)]</ref><ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?m=200905 Hidden Power of Masuda: No. 149 (English)]</ref>; this meaning is connected to the city of {{wp|Nara, Nara|Nara}}, which was the basis for [[Violet City]]. Johto has a very traditional Japanese theme, which is portrayed in some of its settlements, including [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Violet City]].

Regardless of their proximity, the people of Johto and those of Kanto are set apart by many cultural differences. Johto is based on the real {{wp|Kansai region}} in Japan. This trait is most noticeable in its geography; however, the Kansai influence also defines the culture in Johto. Kansai residents are known for their attitudes against typical Japanese standards, mostly due to the historical rivalry between the region, once the major seat of political power, and the real {{wp|Kantō region}} where Tokyo, the current capital, is located. The soil of the Kansai region is rich, unlike the volcanic Kantō region, and this is perhaps referenced by the in-game Kanto region's inability to maintain a [[Berry]] crop in [[Generation III]]. People from Kansai are considered to be more relaxed. Kansai and Kantō, however different, are the two most populous areas of Honshū, the largest island in Japan, and, much like Johto and Kanto, represent a harmony of contrasting cultures living together. The cultural divide is most noticeable in the games, as the player talks to and learns about the denizens of both regions.

Certain cultural aspects of the Johto region are deep-seated in Japanese history, as well. Kyoto, which is probably the basis for Ecruteak City, is considered the cultural center of Japan. Kyoto and its many historical temples, shrines, palaces, gardens and architecture have been preserved. This connection to history is reflected in many areas of Johto. However, Goldenrod City (like Osaka) is typically modern.

==History==
1,500 years before modern times, the place now known as the Ruins of Alph was built in Johto, and the earliest known system for writing—the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}—was developed. Although no one knows exactly who built the Ruins of Alph, research indicates that the people in question were an ancient civilization that wished to co-exist with the enigmatic {{p|Unown}} that bear great similarity to the alphabet letters. Not only did that tribe impart messages on the ruins' walls describing the Unown, but they also erected a Pokémon statue for an unknown reason.

At some point later, outsiders began to gather near the ruins. As the Unown were timid creatures, they rejected contact with anyone but the clan that protected them. To ensure the Unown's well being, the Ruins of Alph's inhabitants decided to leave the region, but not without devising complicated puzzles so that one day the Unown could be summoned again. As for the clan, their quest led them to a mountain far to the north, where they met another group of people who had hailed from the [[Spear Pillar]]. Together, the two groups built a temple in honor of {{p|Arceus}}, which incorporated elements from both the Ruins of Alph and the Spear Pillar; this collaboration probably has to do with the underlying relationship between Arceus and the Unown. The temple, too, has since been left in ruins and its lowest floor is now known as the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]; however, the ritual of honoring [[Legendary Pokémon]] through dance circulated back to Johto, specifically to [[Ecruteak City]].

Approximately 700 years before modern times, the people of Ecruteak built two nine-tier towers with the hopes of fostering friendship and hope between Pokémon and [[human]]s. They were the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]] in the west, which was said to awaken Pokémon, and the [[Bell Tower]] in the east, where Pokémon were said to rest. Both towers became the roost of powerful flying Pokémon: {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, respectively. It is unknown what made the residents revere Lugia and Ho-Oh, but a separate tale indicates that Lugia had previously had an encounter with the people of Johto when it stopped a war on the [[Whirl Islands]], which were a single island at that time.
[[File:Brass Tower HGSS.png|thumb|left|The burned [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]]]
The towers stood strong for about 550 years, when a lightning bolt struck the Brass Tower. It was engulfed in flames that raged for three days. A sudden downpour finally put out the blaze, but it had already burnt to the ground. Three nameless Pokémon perished in the fire, but Ho-Oh descended from the sky and resurrected them. The revived Pokémon were made to embody three powers: the {{p|Raikou|lightning}} that struck the tower, the {{p|Entei|fire}} that burned the tower, and the {{p|Suicune|rain}} that put out the fire. When the Pokémon appeared, they struck terror in those who saw their rise. The three Pokémon, knowing their own power, fled, [[roaming Pokémon|running like the wind]] off into Johto's grassland. Similarly, both Lugia and Ho-Oh flew away at the sight of the growing distance between people and Pokémon; while they never returned to Ecruteak, they yearned for a person to touch the hearts and souls of Pokémon once more.

Around these times other, smaller events occurred. 500 years before modern days, the Cianwood City Pharmacy, the world's oldest pharmacy, was built. Around 400 years ago, [[Azalea Town]] in Johto was struck by a long-term drought wave; after bringing the rain back once again by {{m|yawn}}ing, {{p|Slowpoke}} gained an honorable position in that town.

{{Spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} leaves [[New Bark Town]] on an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. A {{ga|Silver|red-haired boy}} steals one of Elm's three Pokémon, and challenges him/her as Ethan/Kris/Lyra's journey across Johto continues. A revived [[Team Rocket]] from Kanto, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]]; they then proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact [[Giovanni]]. When they are defeated and Giovanni fails to return due to {{p|Celebi}}'s intervention, the interim leader, [[Archer]], vows to never again re-form Team Rocket. Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto, later to defeat the [[Lance|current Champion]] and get into the [[Hall of Fame]].

But Ethan/Kris/Lyra's most notable effect on Johto lies in their ability to encounter all three of the [[Legendary beasts]], as well as summon the Unown, Lugia and Ho-Oh after their long absence. A new chapter in the region's history begins.

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Johto Town Map GSC.png|thumb|left|200px|In-game map of the Johto region from [[Generation II]] games]]
[[File:Johto.png|thumb|right|200px|In-game map of the Johto region from [[Generation IV]] games]]
Johto has ten [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]]. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Safari Zone Gate]] and [[Frontier Access]] act as towns, but they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. As Johto has no autonomous [[Pokémon League]], Kanto shares a League with the region, which borders between Johto and Kanto. Because of this, the two regions share a connection with each other, and unlike any other region, they are able to be traversed to with relative ease. Due to this landmass connection, the geography of Johto is relatively similar to that of its neighbor region.

The Johto region has 20 different [[routes]], which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Johto and Kanto share the same route system, and therefore starts at {{rt|29|Johto}}, picking up from where Kanto's left off at {{rt|28|Kanto}}. The numbered routes count up to 48, with Routes {{rtn|47|Johto}} and {{rtn|48|Johto}} leading off into the far west only being accessible in [[Generation IV]]. Compared to the Kanto region, there aren't many sea routes; there are many land routes and mountains. Some areas such as {{rt|33|Johto}} are constantly raining, or are purged with other types of [[weather]]; however, this wasn't seen until [[Generation IV]].

The connecting landmass between Kanto and Johto doesn't appear to be a fine line; but more or less a blurry one. {{rt|28|Kanto}} is technically owned by Kanto; however, it bridges the border between the two regions, making it the only route in history that enters two regions at one time. This is similar to Routes {{rtn|26|Kanto}} and {{rtn|27|Kanto}}, that are strictly Kanto locations; however, they are able to be transported to via {{HM|02|Fly}} from Johto in Generation IV.

===Demographics===
In the Johto region, including all the towns, cities, and other areas, the total population in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is 452.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|300px|thumb|View of [[Ecruteak City]], with [[Mt. Silver]] towering over the region in the distance]]
Johto features some unique and scenic landmarks, whether they be natural or man-made. It prides itself towards mythology and tradition features, with most of the buildings, towers, caves, and locations holding a historical background. Some of the oldest places in Johto, even the Pokémon world, include the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Sprout Tower]], [[Bell Tower]], [[Burned Tower]], and the [[Slowpoke Well]].

The Ruins of Alph, located in central Johto, is the threshold to an ancient civilization that first contacted the Unown, and became the base of which the first system for writing was formed. The Ruins of Alph have said to have been around for at least 1500 year before modern times which makes it one of the first known structures built in the history of Pokémon. As of today, the ruins are being researched by scientists and are able to be visited as a tourist attraction by visitors.

The two towers of Ecruteak City which include the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]] are oldest towers in the Pokémon world, dating back to 700 years ago. The two nine-tier towers were built to foster friendship and hope between Pokémon and people and the view from the top of the towers was said to be magnificent. The towers attracted many people to the city, until about 150 years ago, a lightning bolt struck the western tower, engulfing it in flames, burning the tower down. The towers are surrounded in mystery, and are said to be home to [[Legendary Pokémon]], however, at this present point, only the ruins of the Burned Tower can be explored by Trainers, and the Bell Tower is off limits to most people.

Another famous historic location is the Sprout Tower, located in northern Violet City. The Sprout Tower is a tiered tower with multiple eaves, and much like the [[Bell Tower]] and the [[Burned Tower]], it is constructed solely out of wood, creating a multi-story effect. Surrounding the tower is a beautiful lake in the center of Violet City, hosting several architectural bridges making its way across the water. Sprout Tower is dedicated to the gentle and peaceful nature of {{p|Bellsprout}}. The giant spine-like pillar located in the center of the tower acts as a support for the old tower structure, and it even protects the tall tower from sudden earthquakes. It is said that the main swaying pillar was, in fact, once a 100-foot-tall Bellsprout. Spout Tower is four stories tall. The ground floor is much like a visitors floor, where tourists come to see the unique style of which the tower was formed. There are three other upper levels, which are dedicated to Pokémon Training; monks who study diligently and train their gentle {{p|Bellsprout}} come to teach that all living beings coexist through cooperation.
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|250px|left|A map of Johto from [[Generation II]]]]

Johto also features several different kinds of natural caves and mountains including [[Mt. Mortar]], [[Mt. Silver]], [[Dark Cave]], [[Ice Path]], [[Cliff Cave]], and [[Union Cave]]. Mt. Mortar is a cave complex that travels through Johto's northernmost mountain range. It is known by Trainers to be a confusing maze-like area with an interior cave known as the Waterfall Cave. Mt. Mortar has three entrances and is huge inside, one of the largest of all caves in the Johto. It has four floors, and its high Pokémon-encounter rate makes getting lost very costly. It has {{m|Surf}}able waterways, {{m|Waterfall}}s, {{m|Strength}} puzzles, and multiple levels. Dark Cave travels through central Johto, and although the dark caves run beneath the surface of the region, the mountain range is large and a barrier between areas of the region. Mt. Silver, in the east, is also quite large and complex splitting the two regions of Kanto and Johto in half, housing many powerful Pokémon, and it is where the most skilled Trainers train their Pokémon. Another natural landmark in Johto is [[Ilex Forest]] located just west of Azalea Town. The forest's trees are so close together that all light is blocked out, and the forest seems to be in a perpetual night.

Some famous man-made landmarks include the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}}. The Goldenrod Radio Tower is a five-story tower located next to the Magnet Train station in downtown Goldenrod City. The radio tower broadcasts numerous programs daily, the most prominent of such being Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk and Buena's Password. For a short period time the tower fell victim to the clutches of Team Rocket, during which time none of the normal broadcasts were aired. The {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}, [[Pokéathlon Dome]], and {{safari|Johto}} are all recently built attractions which provide entertainment and fun for tourists, allowing visitors to participate in activities and rides which require the help of Pokémon to complete.

Although the Johto region prides itself on the beach and some of its sea-side towns, the region has very few aquatic landmarks. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the region's most prominent water attraction, said to have been a smoking crater until it filled with rainwater. The lake is home to the world-famous [[red Gyarados]]. Because of this irritable Pokémon, the lake was marked a dangerous place to go, since the Gyarados started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers. Another famous water landmark is the [[Whirl Islands]]. Named after the dangerous whirlpools that surround them, the Whirl Islands are four islands between Olivine and Cianwood City that are connected by a maze-like cavernous structure under the water's surface. It is said that at the heart of the caves a Legendary Pokémon can be found.

==Geography==
The Johto region, like its neighboring region, [[Kanto]], has a temperate climate. However, Johto's climate is a bit wetter than that of Kanto's.

Johto is notably more rural than the Kanto region, which leans more towards to the urban side. The region has an abundance of water to the west and south, with [[Cianwood City]] most likely being on a separate landmass. However, Johto is still dominated by land. The western parts of the region are mainly low-lying and forested and contain most of the region's population. Johto's ultra-modern [[Goldenrod City]] is found in the heart of the region, on the coast. It is the technological, industrial, and economic area of the Johto region. Due to its centralized position in the region, many smaller but important cities and towns connect to the city. There is one large mountain range encompassing almost the entire eastern half of the region, which separates Kanto and Johto and contains [[Mt. Silver]]. [[Blackthorn City]] is nestled deep between the mountains and is very unique because it is a city for {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s.

==Johto League==
{{main|Johto League}}
The Johto League is the regional [[Pokémon League]] of the Johto region. Johto and Kanto share a single [[Elite Four]], located at Indigo Plateau. Eight Johto League [[Badge]]s are required to participate in [[Pokémon League#Types of competitions|League competitions]]. The [[Indigo League]] and Johto League share a single group of Elite Four and {{pkmn|Champion}}; eight Badges from either region will allow a Trainer to battle the Elite Four at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Less commonly, it is known as the "Silver League", usually when referring to the {{pkmn|anime}}. The [[Silver Conference]] is the Johto League's annual [[Pokémon League#Championship competitions|championship competition]]. It is held at the base of Mt. Silver.

==Trivia==
[[File:Johto Anime.png|thumb|250px|Anime-based map of the Johto region]]
* Johto lacks many elements that all other regions have. Most of these omissions are due to it sharing them with [[Kanto]], which could be visited in the same games, and the fact that recycling old concepts have not become the norm yet in the games. Therefore, it is the only region without:
** a museum
** a Pokémon graveyard
** prior to Generation IV, a [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|true regional Pokédex]] or a proper Safari Zone
** its own [[Pokémon League]] (although the anime gives it the [[Silver Conference]]), and by extension its own [[Victory Road]].
** a notable {{type|Water}} [[Type expert|specialist]].
* Johto shares its Pokémon League, [[Bill|Storage System developer]], and [[Team Rocket|villainous team]] with Kanto.
* In Generation II and IV, between Johto and [[Kanto]], the {{t|Dark}} type and the {{t|Ground}} type are the only types not represented by an official Gym. [[Viridian City]], whose previous Gym Leader [[Giovanni]], had the Ground type. However, when Giovanni left the Gym after being defeated by {{ga|Red}}, he was replaced by {{ga|Blue}}, who does not have a type specialty. [[Karen]] of the [[Elite Four]] uses Dark-type Pokémon, making the Ground type the only type to not have a [[Gym Leader]] or Elite Four member specialized in it in Johto and Kanto for Generation II and IV.
* Unused location data for Johto (similar to the data for [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]] used for Pal Park) exists within the programming of Generation IV's games. Pokémon actually caught in Johto, however, display as being from "[[faraway place]]" when traded to a game taking place in [[Sinnoh]], much like Pokémon caught in a Platinum-exclusive location do when traded to Diamond or Pearl.
* Kanto and Johto are the only regions that are connected to each other by land.
* Johto is the only main region in which all the [[starter Pokémon]], throughout their evolutions, stay one [[type]] ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and Water).
* In the anime, Johto is the only region so far in which:
** [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] did not meet a new {{ashfr|traveling companion}}.
** There is not at least one official Gym badge that isn't from the games.

People of the Water

2019-10-09T18:37:02Z

[[File:Mark of People of the Water.png|thumb|250px|The crystal mark of the People activating a sealed door]]
The '''People of the Water''' (Japanese: '''水の民''' ''People in the Water'') are an ancient {{wp|Tribe|tribal society}} in the [[Pokémon world]] that was mentioned in ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. Very little is known of their culture or their civilization.

As the name implies, the People of the Water were connected to the ocean, either living near or in it. They are apparently an almost extinct clan, with [[Lizabeth]], [[Shep]], and Lizabeth's parents {{OBP|Kyle|M09}} and [[Meredith]] as the only known remaining descendants. The Marina Group also suggested {{an|May}} and [[Max]] were possibly descendants after the former dreamed of [[Samiya]] and {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}}.

The People of the Water possessed advanced technology, having constructed the [[Sea Crown]] and the so-called "Sea Temple", Samiya. Shep guided his family, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} to an ancient ruin site that contained a dome decorated with murals depicting the legends of Samiya and the People of the Water. They wear special crystals, either as necklaces or bracelets, that can activate these technologies, which range from opening doors to keeping the Sea Temple from sinking. During the events of the movie, May was given a crystal mark from Lizabeth.

[[The Phantom]] appears to be very knowledgeable about the People of the Water and even obtained one of their special crystals prior to the {{pkmn|movie}}.

Spring Path

The '''Spring Path''' (Japanese: '''かくれいずみへのみち''' ''Path to the Hidden Spring'') is a short path off the main area of {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} that leads into [[Sendoff Spring]]. There are no [[wild Pokémon]] on this short path.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, this path only appears after the {{player}} obtains the [[National Pokédex]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, the path appears after the player escapes the [[Distortion World]] to Sendoff Spring, with them being intended to exit through this path and head on to the [[Turnback Cave]]

In Platinum, both the Spring Path and the Sendoff Spring are marked on the map as the "Spring Path".

In Diamond and Pearl, the background music is the same eerie music as in the [[Old Chateau]]. In Platinum, the background music is the same as the adjacent Route 214.

==In the manga==
[[File:Spring Path Adventures.png|thumb|left|240px|The Spring Path in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The Spring Path debuted in ''[[PS405|Shorting Out Electivire]]'', where {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] had come here to train with [[Volkner]] after their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]] at [[Lake Acuity]]. At first, Volkner was unwilling to train with them, having only come in hopes of facing the opponent who had been strong enough to defeat two [[Gym Leader]]s together. However, Platinum managed to convince Volkner to stay, and started a battle with him, all the while describing Jupiter's tactics to Volkner and demonstrating them with {{cat|Platinum's Pokémon|her own Pokémon}}.

As the battle progressed, Volkner told Platinum that if she would be able to defeat all of his Pokémon, he'd reward her with a {{badge|Beacon}}, just like in an official Gym battle. Eventually Platinum managed to beat the Leader of the [[Sunyshore Gym]], earning her her eighth and final Badge.

In ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]'', Volkner, who had ignored the call to join the other Gym Leaders to fight [[Team Galactic]] at the [[Spear Pillar]] and was instead hanging out at the Spring Path, noticed a black portal over the Sendoff Spring, and informed {{EF|Flint}} about it.

In ''[[PS435|The Final Dimensional Duel V]]'', Volkner and Flint traveled through the Spring Path on their way to the Sendoff Spring, intending to go battle {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}} in the Distortion World.

== I have a question ==

Hello Bulbapedia. I hope it's okay that I'm asking this here. I'm just curious: is there a list of articles that need to have typos fixed or information added to them? I joined here recently and while I have been using the Random Page link to find pages to edit, I thought it might help me if I could work on things that have specifically been identified as needing to be done. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 16:11, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
:This might help you out. https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Category:Articles_needing_more_information [[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 16:29, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
::Thank you so much! [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 17:36, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

== Talk pages ==

Talk pages are for suggesting improvements to an article, not for casual conversations. If you want to have casual conversation, you can go to the [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?forums/bulbawiki-forum.195/ forums]. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:53, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

== Userspace policy ==

Users are not permitted to have userspace content on talk pages until they become {{bp|autoconfirmed users}}. It is a violation of the {{bp|userspace policy}} to have things such as usertags on a talk page, such as you had with your sandbox page. Please read and follow the userspace policy in the future. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:09, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

== Talk pages, again ==

Your talk page isn't for saving material that is to be added to another article, either. Either you add the saved material to the appropriate article right away or, if you're locked out of editing said article or for whatever other reason, you create a sandbox article where you can store all of that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:46, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:Also, don't remove talk page messages. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:31, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

::First, you removed messages of mine from my talk page. Why are you allowed to do that while I'm not? Second, what messages did I remove from here? I only added back the messages of mine that you deleted. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 02:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

:::Did you not read my edit summary? Those are NOT allowed on your talk page, thus they can be removed. Plus, you removed my original warning about saving, on your talk page, material that you want added to another article. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 02:40, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

::::I don't always notice edit summaries, so sorry for not catching that. And I can see the difference between your removals and mine. Finally, I honestly did not intend to remover your warning. I was just trying to restore my own edits. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 02:48, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

== Diffs ==

You can compare certain edits using the edit history by using the differences (or "diffs") to your advantage. For example, for [[Maxie (EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua 73)]], you'd see that [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Maxie_%28EX_Team_Magma_vs_Team_Aqua_73%29&type=revision&diff=3035626&oldid=2237557 we both removed the commas] in the "Trivia" section. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:25, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

== Pointless edits ==

Please do not make pointless edits, like you did to Araquanid (TCG), they are unconstructive and can be seen as vandalism. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:47, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

:Sorry about that. I had simply been curious as to whether I could change the color of templates, so that's why I made such a small edit and then undid it right after. [[User:Sundar|Sundar]] ([[User talk:Sundar|talk]]) 08:03, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

==Quotes==
==={{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}===
*When first talked to:
:''"Oh, hello. You're quite the nifty {{pkmn|Trainer}}. My husband is a {{tc|Sailor}}, and he's off working somewhere far away. I long for the day he comes back to me. All that waiting gets to be very boring every day, though... I know! How about you visit me and tell me stories every so often?"''
*If talked to again:
:''"Starting tomorrow, please visit and tell me stories about your travels."''

*Depending on the day of the week:
:*Monday:
::''"Today is Monday! It's time to get going on a brand-new week. Is there a story that might help me perk up? Maybe a story about getting splashed with water..."''
::''"[[Easy chat system|<word entered>]] splashed with water... ... That sounds refreshing! It's made me feel awake!"''
:*Tuesday:
::''"Today is Tuesday! The first date I went on with my husband was on Tuesday, too. I remember my heart thumping like I was scared, and I guess I was. Do you know any story that would scare me like that? Like something that jumps out from hiding?"''
::''"One mean <word entered> that bursts out from a closet? ... Yikes! That would be scary!"''
:*Wednesday:
::''"Sigh... I gained a little weight... This dress that my husband bought for me is too tight now... This makes me feel sad... Misery does love company. Something that would make me cry?"''
::''"A tearful <word entered>... ... Sniffle... That is so sad... I feel desolate, even!"''
:*Thursday:
::''"It's Thursday already? I lost track of time! My favorite [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] comes out today. I'd better go buy it quick! Do you know a story about being absentminded? Like getting your shoes backward?"''
::''"The <word entered> had shoes on the wrong feet? ... Ahahaha! That is so silly! How is it possible to be that absentminded?"''
:*Friday:
::''"Today is Friday! My meager cooking repertoire is about to run out! Do you know a story that would help me get my thoughts in order? Like a story about numbers adding up perfectly?"''
::''"You went <word entered> shopping and paid {{pdollar}}777 including tax? That is a nice number to ring up. It just has a good look to it. It's sure helped me clear my head!"''
:*Saturday:
::''"Yawn... Today's Saturday... I'm feeling lazy and sleepy... I wish I had a pillow... But what kind of a pillow?"''
::''"<word entered> snuggle pillow... ... It... It surprisingly may give me a good night's sleep! I wonder if I can buy one somewhere."''
:*Sunday:
::''"Oh, hello! You're on your adventure even though it's Sunday! When I was younger, I remember that every day was like an adventure. It was always fun. I loved the people around me... I was happy. Oh, but I'm happy now, too. I love my life with my husband. It's just a different kind of happy. So, what makes you happy?"''
::''"You love <word entered>? ... Ufufu... That says something about you. It puts a smile on my face!"''
:''"Thank you! Please give this to your Pokémon."''
:''"Please tell me another story tomorrow."''
*If no word is entered:
:''"Oh... You couldn't think up anything?"''

*If the Pokémon first in the party already has the ribbon for the current day of the week:
:''"Hello! Oh, this is the <Pokémon> I gave a Ribbon to before. I've got lots of Ribbons--you should bring other Pokémon."''
