== Soul House? ==
In the second generation the Pokemon Tower was made into a radio tower and replaced with the Soul House, which was placed where the mart was originally. I've browsed this entire wiki and there's absolutely no mention of the soul house anywhere. It doesn't have a page or even a reference on this page. Why?--[[User:Pkmn|Pkmn]] 07:19, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
:Even though the House has minor role in the games I think that it should definitely be mentioned. Also, I personally think that [[Pokémon Tower]] should be moved to "Kanto Radio Tower" since this is the up-to-date name and function of the tower. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:17, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

== Lavender Town Tone and the like ==

Is it true that the original version of this town's melody in Pokémon Red and Green (mentioned in the article) had experimental "binaural beats" that had frequencies undetectable by fully developed human ears? These sounds are alleged to have been connected to suicides in children aged 7-12 in Japan. Urban legend?
[http://www.falconchurch.com/showthread.php?180-Lavender-Town-Tone%28Pokemon-Red-Green%29-THIS-IS-VERY-VERY-LONG] [[User:Ampere|Ampere]] 19:06, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
:Rumor. Come on, does that article even SOUND factual?
::Didn't sound very likely, but I do wonder why they changed the music.[[User:Ampere|Ampere]] 19:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)
FYI, I've heard both themes (1.0 and the later versions), and I can't tell the difference. Help please? [[User:MagicBarrier|MagicBarrier]] 18:23, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

To clarify:
Lavender Town is rumored to have changed the background music between its release in Japan and North America. This is -sort- of true, but a bit inaccurate. Along with this are rumors that it cause headaches, paranoia, and a number of other things in people who heard the sound through headphones, ultimately resulting in dementia, suicide, or other horror stories.

In truth, there was a minor change made to the music, but it was later than the NA release of the game. Later-run carts either omit or changed a layer in the background music (don't remember which) because the original version had the pitch set an octave too high - just outside of the normal hearing range for an adult, but NOT the 7 to 12 range the game was aimed at. Even though the sound couldn't be "heard" by older kids and adults, it could be "felt" if heard through headphones. The worst of it was that it caused a mild headache or blurred vision, especially in younger kids. There were no suicides, and there are no cases of mental illness linked to the sound.

There are also supposed videos or sound files with a "beta" version of the soundtrack for Lavender that add in deeper tones or play slower, which are pretty much just either completely fake or hacked emulator ROMs. Basically, the rumors are usually either started by people taking Creepypasta seriously or exaggerations of the real story. All it was was a single, high-pitched sound layer that made your head hurt. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] 19:40, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

: I hear the sounds quite well, also I really doubt those stories even happened. Likely just the video poster trying to scare users a bit. Tune still sounds nice even with those funny little sounds in it. Heck, I even listened to the original, nothing scary or subliminal in it.

I listened to the original version a few weeks ago, and I felt really creped out. Although it probably was because I just watched a video on Pokemon Creepy Black Version ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iYwMgG8dNs ), and it was late at night, idk. I kept feeling like someone was watching, and when I was half asleep, I thought I heard someone say "Get out now". Probably just hype. Oh wells. Point it, it's creepy.

Should the sprite of the marowak ghost and unown spelling leave that's suppositly embeded into the sound track hoax on youtube be notified? [[User:VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP|VENUS,MEGA,SCEPT,TORTE,SERP]] 18:30, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
:[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MK2iLnTR9V8 This]? You realize that all that's been done is that a image-to-text program has been used to embed those images into the sound. That's why the sound completely mismatches everything else at that point. It doesn't match the actual sound track of Lavender Town at all.

== "Cion" Town Romanization ==

== 'Audio differences' revisited ==

I don't believe that the audio differences are real. If you play other versions of first generation games, including {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}} then you can easily hear some high pitched notes, but there is no real evidence the music differ between versions.

Relatively recently it was claimed that {{nw|Kazumi Totaka|Totaka's song}} was found [http://neogaf.net/forum/showthread.php?p=35243135#post35243135 in Wii Sports] due to differences in pitch when you continue to hit the ball in Wii Tennis, but it was challenged on message boards such as NinDB and NeoGAF based on the reason that [[wikipedia:confirmation bias|confirmation bias]] might lead you to perceive that the notes do sound like Totaka's song. When the pitches were [http://neogaf.net/forum/showpost.php?p=35250916&postcount=545 analysed in Melodyne], it was found that the differences in pitch were far from Totaka's song.

I haven't analysed Lavender Town in Melodyne, but I don't think that we can assume that there is a difference until solid evidence suggests that there is. This [http://www.youtube.com/user/TamashiiHiroka user] played Pokémon Red/Blue's Lavender Town music claiming that it was from Pokémon Red and Green, and there were people who commented saying that they heard a 'difference'.

If there were any real differences they might not be related not based on the game, but how the audio was compressed, or the system or emulator which you're using to play the game. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] ([[User talk:Chickasaurus|talk]]) 16:35, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

== Truth about this lavender town music stuff ==

First of all, theres 2 versions, that part is true.

First the green beta version which can easily be heard here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNKEcCna-ws

However, any reports of anything more then a headache is FALSE. Nobody suicided, nobody got paranoia. Headaches. That's it.

Next, the normal version that was released everywhere including Japan:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fYam4QKnsM

Again, nothing more then a headache. Also, i think the original should be mentioned somewhere. Not on this article, but the Beta article.

[[User:Pokemon nomekop|Pokemon nomekop]] ([[User talk:Pokemon nomekop|talk]]) 23:03, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
:Please refer to the posts by Chickasaurus above. There is actually only one version of the Lavender Town song in the Generation I games, and fans have since created rumors that there was a slightly different version in Red and Green v1.0 (it is true that there is a v1.0 and v1.1 of Red and Green though). Besides, it certainly isn't the one you linked; that's clearly a fan remix; most claims are that it is slightly higher pitch such that only children could hear it, not that the song is so dramatically different. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:16, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

== There is actually a difference between international and Japanese version music. ==

I have played the Japanese Blue, and the music is in fact different between the Japanese and the international versions. There are in fact more sounds that are present in the Japanese versions, which makes it sound slightly different and creepier, but not that major of a difference. It still is a difference, and there is a so-called "beta" version, which I say in quotation marks because in no way, shape, or form are the Japanese RGB games the "beta versions". Anybody who claims they sound identical has obviously not played one of the Japanese versions, and I can testify that it is different. Should this be noted? --[[User:DarthNightmaricus|DarthNightmaricus]] ([[User talk:DarthNightmaricus|talk]]) 22:19, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

== Once again on the acknowledgement of hoaxes and possible double standards ==

If we can't say something along the lines of "Lavender Town has been the subject of many hoaxes" in the trivia section, then why is the point about how the false belief that the music was changed allowed? To the best of my knowledge, that belief originated in hoaxes like Lavender Town Syndrome, meaning that it is technically an acknowledgement of hoaxes.
By the way, I'm not saying that the trivia point I wrote should be included, just that if the existing point is acceptable, then it would be easier, shorter, and make way more sense to just say that there are many hoaxes surrounding Lavender Town. [[User:General Kipicus|General Kipicus]] ([[User talk:General Kipicus|talk]]) 19:28, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
:Refer to my comment above, a fan made meme/hoax is notable if it reaches outside of the fandom, i.e. is acknowledged by those outside of the Pokemon community. The specific one mentioned, if I recall correctly, is the most common and prevailing myth regarding Lavender town. All the other are only known among the Pokemon community.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 17:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

== It's called Shion Town in japanese cause it's a flower!!! ==

The page doesn't mention the fact that "shion" is a japanese name for the flower "Aster tataricus"!
here's the wikipedia page (in japanese) https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/シオン_(植物).
It has some relations with not forgeting things (here's the english page) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aster_tataricus
Btw I may be wrong. Maybe Cion is a translation of that flower but I think it's just a bad katakana transcription? idk.

Also that stupid beta music thing is obviously a complete hoax.
The sounds in that stupid upload can't be produced by a game boy and it's just the normal theme but with hyper beeps wow.(not even talking about the stupid ass "creepy" images in it.)
I also played through jp pokemon green numerous times and there's no change in any music tracks.{{unsigned|Idk}}

== Is the “sounds adults can’t hear” part true? ==

When discussing the legitimacy of the rumors surrounding the Lavender Town theme, all fact‐checkers agree the mass hysteria/suicide part is made‐up creepy pasta. In contrast, it ''seems'' everyone agrees there was at least some minor difference with the original Japanese version of the song. However, it’d be nice if the article clarified what exactly is true and what is false about the track. Here are two things I’m still unsure about:
# Were headaches (or at least the potential for headaches) a cited reason Game Freak gave for adjusting the sound of the Lavender Town theme?
# Did the original version of the Lavender Town theme contain sounds adults typically can’t hear?

== Widespread misconception ==
I noticed that this article doesn't address a common misconception surrounding this Pokémon during the times of generation I. I distinctly remember that this Pokémon was believed to belong to Doduo's evolution family, and some related media in Europe reinforced this misconception (e.g. a sticker album placed Farfetch'd > Doduo > Dodrio in the same rectangle, implying a three-stage evolution family. In the United States, Tomy figures representing the three characters were packaged together somewhat implying the same thing (though some three-figure sets did not group an evolution family (e.g. Tauros, Porygon & Kangaskhan and Oddish, Ninetales & ?Pidgeotto?). Should this error be included as part of the trivia section? Considering that both Farfetch'd and Doduo (and to a lesser extent Dodrio) were easily obtainable in the wild, there was little need to (try to) evolve Farfetch'd to obtain its evolution, so the mistake wasn't immediately cleared up.

==Hyper Beam==
I'd mark it as trivia, but I'm unsure of it's accuracy. Is Farfetch'd the only 'fully' evolved Pokemon that can use TMs that cannot learn Hyper Beam from TM15? --[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 21:17, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

== Leaf Blade ==

I think its a little weird how despite the fact farfeth'd uses a leek as a sword it can't learn leaf blade, but thats my opinion - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Zen Coyote}} ([[User talk:Zen Coyote|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Zen Coyote|contribs]]) ''
:Well, as any child who has played with a wrapping paper roll will tell you, pretending something is a sword is not the same as having a sword. It's still a leek.

== Farfetch'd Wilderness ==

According to George Hutcheon's editorial, there is no legends of ducks carrying leeks, but instead a saying, so where will that leave us?

:New comments to the bottom of the page please. No, it cannot be added, simply becasue that is the same for most Pokémon. The only sprite trivia permissible is for changes in the design of the Pokémon between generations. Also, FYI, the generation numbers (i.e. Roman numerals) use capital I, not a pipe.

==Discrepancy in Pokedex entries==
In the article's Pokedex entry for Red and Blue, it says that Farfetch'd carries a "spring" of green onion. If I'm not mistaken (and I don't think I am because I have the actual Pokedex entry from the game open in front of me), it's actually supposed to say "sprig" (as in a shoot of a plant). Would someone please change this so it is correct? [[User:Dragon Master Lance|Dragon Master Lance]] 16:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
:Just checked on my brother's old Red version. You're right, it says sprig. Thanks for pointing that out. [[Typhlosion|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon|★]] [[User_talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]] 16:48, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

== Repeated statement ==
I notice that in the Trivia section, it states TWICE that Farfetch'd is the only Pokémon with an apostrophe in its name. Should the last one be taken out?

== Widespread misconception ==
I noticed that this article doesn't address a common misconception surrounding this Pokémon during the times of generation I. I distinctly remember that this Pokémon was believed to belong to Doduo's evolution family, and some related media in Europe reinforced this misconception (e.g. a sticker album placed Farfetch'd > Doduo > Dodrio in the same rectangle, implying a three-stage evolution family. In the United States, Tomy figures representing the three characters were packaged together somewhat implying the same thing (though some three-figure sets did not group an evolution family (e.g. Tauros, Porygon & Kangaskhan and Oddish, Ninetales & ?Pidgeotto?). Should this error be included as part of the trivia section? Considering that both Farfetch'd and Doduo (and to a lesser extent Dodrio) were easily obtainable in the wild, there was little need to (try to) evolve Farfetch'd to obtain its evolution, so the mistake wasn't immediately cleared up. [[User:Taran|Taran]] ([[User talk:Taran|talk]]) 17:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
:If you could find a picture of the sticker album showing the error it'd be worth mentioning (granted that there isn't already a page for the sticker album). Without proof of the error though, no, a few fans thinking something's true that isn't, isn't notable. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 17:50, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
::I thought this was interesting, so I did a little hunt. The only image I could find was [http://ic.pics.livejournal.com/raikourai/30331428/137405/137405_320.jpg this image] with a Google Image search for "Farfetch'd Doduo Dodrio sticker". The [http://pkmncollectors.livejournal.com/10609767.html website that has the picture] also has an image of the album. A Google Image search for "Farfetch'd evolves into Doduo" leads to [http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m118/R-New_1993/BILD0417.jpg a different image on a separate mistake]. (However, [http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?473542-Why-Can-t-People-Get-It-Right-Annoying-Things-and-Pokémon&s=0186f3219fb9af8936f0cbd955a54671&p=11771309#post11771309 that links to the Serebii forums.]) Anyways, I hope this helps somehow. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 06:22, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==

Could the "fetch'd" in Farfetch'd also be related to how it's carrying a stick? Like one uses to play "fetch" with one's dog? If not too... farfetched [ugh, wanted to find other word], I think it would be worth mentioning in the name origin area. [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 00:51, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

:I see what you're saying. However, since it's actually holding an onion (see its Japanese name origin), this may not be the case. If it is the case, the apostrophe break that occurs right after ''fetch'' perhaps places emphasis on the ''fetch'' pun. Does anyone else have any thoughts regarding this possible name origin? —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 01:44, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::While technically an onion/leek, Farfetch'd's held item ''is'' translated as "stick." [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 17:15, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
:::The Stick item wasn't introduced until a full generation after Farfetch'd got an English name, so that's not a valid argument. The Stick item could not possibly have influenced the naming of Farfetch'd. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 18:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Ah. Right. [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 22:12, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::::: Or maybe it's the other way around? What if the (localized?) understanding of Farfetch'd's leek onion being a stick resulted in the item being called Stick? What if the fact that it looks like a stick, combined with the fact that Farfetch'd always always carries it (perhaps like how a dog keeps fetching a stick no matter where it goes) does provide a resemblance. Maybe it's far fetched (pun intended), but maybe not. What if the name origin said, "The name may also be a reference to {{wp|Fetch}}, due to the onion leek held by Farfetch'd commonly being mistaken for a stick."

Talk:EP038

2015-10-12T15:54:23Z

The Sackinator: /* Snopes.com */ new section

== EP037 ==

Electric Soldier Porygon is definitly EP037, not EP035. Legend of Dratini is EP035. Someone needs to move this. -GreenGiant

Gah, I'm such a twat. Sorry. Heh, funny that I mixed it up with another un-aired English episode. XD - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 01:55, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

==Missing episode?==
shouldn't pikachu goodbye be on the list since it aired before EP40? - pokeant
: Yes, that's what happened, but my personal theory is that what is ''now'' [[EP039]] did not ''exist'' before the incident. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 14:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

== Fix the problem? ==

If flashing lights caused it to be banned, couldn't they just edit the clip so that it flashes at a lower frequency? If so, they could just re-air the episode. Also, they could add a warning at the start of the episode to not watch it in the dark. That's what they did to the video games.
:Yes, that has been brought up many times. However, it is also important to remember that this episode probably is a bad memory for those affected and a bad note on Pokémon's reputation. On top of that, the Japanese government banned any showings of the episode. It seems like an easy problem to solve, but there are many factors which prevent such. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 01:55, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

== Just so y'all know... ==

There is a subtitled, but otherwise unedited, version of the episode online. Having watched it (no, I did not have a seizure), I can honestly say that it's a shame that the episode was never edited and re-aired--it was a really good episode. (And yes, they added a disclaimer.) [[User:Shippinator Mandy|Shippinator Mandy]] 19:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

== Translation? ==
What is the real translation for this:
* でんのうせんしポリゴン
I looked around and found this:
* So it is the [u] plug to do, polygon
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
:..Um..no... "でんのう" translates to "electric brain" (電脳), which we just call a computer. "せんし" is literally "warrior" (戦士) but is usually taken to mean "soldier." And "ポリゴン" is Porygon. (It's the same as the Japanese word for "polygon.")--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 05:17, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I was just looking at a Japanese translator when I got thinking... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 21:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
:Google's translator sucks. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:59, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
It's ''Electric'' Soldier Porygon, not Computer Soldier Porygon. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]][[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|Talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/Shiny Noctowl|Contribs]] 19:00, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
:No, it's computer. The "most popular" translation isn't always the "most correct" translation. ''Dennō'' means "electric brain," and a computer is certainly an electric brain.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 03:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
::Or, maybe it's "Artificial Intelligence Soldier Porygon"! This is off-subject but, I've seen the seizure clip and nothing happened to me except for minor dizzyne-''{has seizure}'' [[User:Im a bulba|Im a bulba]] 23:57, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

== Where? ==

Does anyone know where i can find a video of it online for free? -[[User:Theininen|Theininen]] 02:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
:Check YouTube, or just search Google for it. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
::I don't think YouTube is such a good idea. Sure, it has full length episodes, but videos get deleted every day and the uploaders often get suspended in the progress, YouTube doesn't tolerate copyright violation. But you could watch the YouTube videos while they last. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 19:43, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Yeah, but they always come back and reupload. Besides, there's nowhere else you can find the episode, period. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 20:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
::::That's not exactly true, I own over 150 on DVD. Besides the Internet is a big place, there are sites out there that do in fact have illegal copy of the episodes. YouTube is a good idea, but you're wrong if you think it's the only place. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 20:34, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

== DVD ==

Is this featured on the Volume 2 of Pokémon Season 1 I'm dying to see this with the seizure scene toned down [[User:Livinlarge18|Livinlarge18]] 17:37, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

:Doubtful. For that to happen, the Japanese government would have to lift the global ban. In the extremely unlikely event that were to happen, the episode would then have to be freshly dubbed without the 4Kids actors, which would make it look out of place surrounded by a bunch of 4Kids-dubbed episodes. Sorry. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
::No it isn't. Sorry. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 20:36, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
:::Wasn't it already dubbed by 4Kids, though? I mean, Maddie DID say something about it being dubbed in the us. Then again, Rachiel Lillis Did say something about not dubbing it as well. [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 16:35, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
::::It was fixed so that the problematic flashes were slowed down, reducing the risk of seizures. However, due to the episode being banned by the Japanese government, it could not even be aired under the aforementioned conditions. Nowadays, you can only watch it on video sites like YouTube, and only in Japanese. [[User:SharKing|SharKing]] 20:49, 26 August 2008 (UTC)SharKing

== So um. ==

Maddie said 4Kids dubbed it. Someone had to have read the title card. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:35, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
:I dont think 4Kids ever gave the Episode an English title. Someone should realy ask them, just to make sure. [[User:ShinyPikachu|'ŚĥîΠŶPî₭₳ĉĥŭ']] 19:20, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I tried emailing Veronica Taylor about it, since, being the voice of Ash, she most likely would have read the title card, but I never got a response.
[[User:Mattrd08|Mattrd08]] 20:32, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
:You need to begin your email title with Pokémon, stupid! [[User:Magikarp123193|magikarp123193]] 22:42, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

== Why isn't this page protected? ==

Yeah, I'm new here, and I was wondering... Why isn't the Electric Soldier Porygon page protected? I mean, it needs to be protected or else vandals will make it say that the Japanese government is EVIL!

:For as long as I have been here, I don't recall anything like that happening... [[User:PH1RESTRIKE| |>H1|23]][[Special:contributions/PH1RESTRIKE|•]][[User talk:PH1RESTRIKE|57R1K3]] 19:05, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

::Yeah, well I was THINKING of doing it before I got this account! [[User:Magikarp123193|magikarp123193]] 18:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== "Banned by the Japanese Government" ==

I know this isn't Wikipedia but I think I can say here citation needed.

First, no such claims are made or substantiated on the Wikipedia page, which would be really surprising if it was true (I've found it on [[wp:Pokémon episodes removed from rotation|another page]] but again without citation, and it looks like it was copied from here or vice versa). Second, Google doesn't come up with anything besides forums either. Finally, the implication is that the episode itself is banned regardless of how safe it is made to watch (i.e. by removing the flashing), which is far too daft to be true. I know that Japan and most countries have censorship to some extent and I'm not saying it isn't legally possible, but I really can't see them wasting time banning an episode just because an earlier version was bad.

Let's not get too caught up in the logic of censorship though as my last point isn't as important as the first two - there is no source.

My only ''guess'' as to what have created this myth - without bothering to check - is that the TV station that Pokémon airs on is government owned. But a government owned channel banning an episode is really not the same.--[[User:Cyberdude93|Cyberdude93]] 11:29, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

==Possible Virus?==
Hi, I just thought I'd tell you all that the "Japanese site showing news reports" might contain a virus. A few months ago, I was looking at this page and then decided to open that link on another tab. Just after I had finished looking, and closed the page, my internet security thing gave me a message stating that it had blocked a "Bloodhound" virus. The only other tab open was Bulbapedia, so I think the perpatrator is that other site. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and, if so, should it be deleted? [[User:Soul of Dawn|I can't stop thinking of you, the Soul of the Dawn we spent together...]] 15:48, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

== A small favour ==
Hi, as the founder of [http://simpsons.shoutwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page Wikisimpsons] on ShoutWiki, I was just wondering whether I would be able to link the Simpsons related articles linked here from Wikipedia to Wikisimpsons instead? Thanks, ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 11:01, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

== Prev-Next Episode ==

What does everyone think of changing the Prev-Next episode box at the top of this page to conform to a new order that would go:
EP038
Holiday Hi-Jynx
EP40 (unaired)
Snow Way Out!
EP039
? This order would make these episodes a lot easier to comprehend to people visiting the articles. '''--'''[[User:LimeGreenCharizard|'''LimeGreen''''''''Charizard''''']]'''--''' 11:17, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

== Character names ==

Since there's no dub of this episode, shouldn't this page use the Japanese names, rather than the English ones? (i.e., ''Satoshi'' instead of Ash, etc.) I thought that was the practice here, though I may well be wrong. '''[[User:Dendodge|dendodge]]''' [[User talk:Dendodge|t]] 23:53, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

:The rest of the website is written in English so there's no point confusing people with translations. '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 22:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

== Brazil ==

Does anyone know if that Brazil stuff is true? [[User:MasterOfChikorita|MasterOfChikorita]] 10:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
:No, Brazil only have japanese subbed version.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] 04:56, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
All banned episodes aired on Brazil with the exception of this and obviously AG101 (unaired) and the banned Team Plasma eps. - [[User:Ishlishl]]

== De-Engrishification requested ==

The first paragraph of the Lasting Effects section currently reads: "Before the series restarted, a special report was aired on April 11, 1998 titled 検証番組アニメ　ポケットモンスター問題検証報告 ''Inspection program: inspection report of the anime Pocket Monsters problem''." I think I understand what it's trying to say, but could someone who speaks Japanese try to make it a little less Engrishy? Right now it looks almost like a machine translation. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] 06:39, 24 May 2012 (UTC)

== "Banned by the Japanese Government" again and Mandarin Chinese title ==

The article still says that the episode was banned by the Japanese government: while none denies that it was never reaired or released in home video, is there a source that it was banned by the government? Also, why does the episode has a Mandarin Chinese title, despite the fact that this episode aired on December 1997 and the anime reached China a year later (December 1998)? Is it an official title or just the title of a fansub? --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 16:43, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
:I removed the unsourced claim about the Japanese government. As for the Chinese title, I had missed the "Revealed only in the trailer" note, though I wonder which trailer are we talking about. Did the Japanese trailers also have Chinese titles? --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 19:02, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Pokémon controversies

2015-08-14T21:26:48Z

The Sackinator: /* In multiple media */ It seems strange for these to be put in the same section, but since they are, I renamed the section.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Gambling===
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the {{tc|PI|Gambler}} Trainer class to '''Gamer''' and altered their dialogue to remove references to gambling. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}''' instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

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

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

All [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} feature no Game Corner at all. Furthermore, this is referenced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which shows that the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down.
{{-}}

==In multiple media==
===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|left|x200px|The original design of Jynx]]
[[File:124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|Jynx's current design]]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}}, which had recently appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, and this change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In 2001, the [[Pokémon games]] and {{pkmn|Trading Card Game|cards}} were banned in {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}. The TCG was banned on the grounds that it promoted {{wp|Zionism}} by displaying a six-pointed star that resembles the {{wp|Star of David}} as well as other religious symbols such as crosses they associated with {{wp|Christianity}} and triangles they associated with {{wp|Freemasonry}}, while the games were banned due to the inclusion of gambling elements, which is in violation of {{wp|Islam|Muslim}} doctrine.<ref>[http://www.theescapist.com/pokemon13.htm The Escapist - Archive - Saudi Bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/wPWh6 archived copy])</ref><ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/1243307.stm BBC News | MIDDLE EAST | Saudi Arabia bans Pokemon] ([https://archive.is/9Hni1 archived copy])</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city nestled in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]]. Standing in the center of the city is the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], which serves as its symbol. The wide roadways are paved with brick and cobblestone, allowing both automobile and {{p|Gogoat}} traffic safe and easy travel. Lumiose City is the largest known city in the Pokémon world.

==Places of interest==
[[File:Lumiose City artwork.png|thumb|Lumiose City from above]]
===Prism Tower===
{{main|Lumiose Gym}}
Prism Tower is a large tower located in Centrico Plaza in the middle of Lumiose City. It houses the [[Lumiose Gym|Lumiose City Gym]]. Prism Tower is based on the real-world Eiffel Tower in Paris, France. It is also a [[Prism Tower (stage)|playable stage]] in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]].

===North Boulevard===
====Galette Stand====
A small stand located on the North Boulevard outside Autumnal Avenue that sells {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lumiose Galette}}s for {{pdollar}}100 ({{pdollar}}80 if the player has at least 50 points of style). The stand only sells freshly baked galettes, which last four hours at a time starting at 3 AM, 9 AM, 3 PM, and 9 PM. Once per day, if the player purchases a galette within an hour of the time they were baked, the player will also receive a free {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}}.

====Lumiose Museum====
{{main|Lumiose Museum}}
A large, white building that houses many paintings of people and locations in the Pokémon world. Entrance is free, but an audio guide is available for {{pdollar}}200 (or for free if the player has at least 90 points of style).

====Hotel Richissime====
{{main|Hotel Richissime}}
A large, black luxury hotel located near the middle of North Boulevard. Each day, the player can be paid for completing certain tasks in the hotel.

====Battle Institute====
{{main|Battle Institute}}
The Battle Institute on the North Boulevard works in the same way as the one in [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Unova]]. The player can opt for a Battle Test (five consecutive single or double battles) or a Download Test (which can be downloaded either wirelessly or via Wi-Fi at certain time, similar to event Pokémon). The player can win [[Battle Point|BP]] here.

====Lumiose Station====
A very large train station located on the far eastern half of the North Boulevard. Upon defeating the Elite Four and becoming the Champion, Professor Sycamore will meet the player here and give them the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|TMV Pass}} which allows them to board the train to [[Kiloude City]].

====Looker Bureau====
[[Looker]]'s headquarters during the post-game storyline are located in a narrow street between North Boulevard and Rouge Plaza. It is initially empty, but Looker settles in after the player enters the Hall of Fame and upgrades the [[Key Stone|Mega Ring]].

After completing all the Looker Bureau chapters, the player can battle [[Emma]] in the Expansion Suit (as Essentia) here on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

===South Boulevard===
This is the first part of Lumiose City that the player can explore in Pokémon X and Y, along with Vernal Avenue. The other parts are blocked until the player has defeated [[Team Flare]] at the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and watched [[Clemont]] relight the [[Lumiose City Gym]].

====PR Video Studio ====
{{main|Trainer PR Video}}
A purple building where Trainer PR Videos can be created, located directly across from the South Boulevard Pokémon Center. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Friend Code]].

When the player reaches sufficient stylishness, the woman at the right counter will add new video effects for PR Videos. She will add two different sets: one if the player has at least 25 points of style, and the other for at least 90 points of style.

====Sycamore Pokémon Lab====
[[Professor Sycamore]]'s Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a Pokémon battle early in the game, as well as their corresponding Mega Stone. After the player enters the Hall of Fame, they can return to the lab to get the [[Poké Radar]] from one of the scientists on the second floor.

On the second floor, player can change {{p|Rotom}}'s {{DL|Form differences|Rotom|forms}}.

====Coiffure Clips====
A small hairdresser located opposite the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate. The player can have their hair colored and styled here.

The prices and options are slightly different for male and female players. If a female player requests a styling, she may choose to have the stylist style only her front hair or all of her hair (including her front hair, as a secondary option).
*Styling and color: {{PDollar}}3000 ({{female}}, front style only: {{PDollar}}2500)
*Styling: {{PDollar}}1500 ({{female}}, front only: {{PDollar}}500)
*Color: {{PDollar}}2000

For both male and female players, the options for colors are the same. In order from lightest to darkest, they are: Blond{{male}}/Blonde{{female}}, Orange, Honey, Brown, and Black.

The styling options differ significantly for male and female players. If the player has at least 50 points of style, additional styling options will be available.
*Male: Very Short, Short, Medium. '''Additional''': Medium Perm
*Female: Short, Bobbed, Medium, Long. '''Additional''': Ponytail, Pigtails
*Female (front): Sideswept, Bangs

At any point, instead of choosing a specific color or style themselves, the player may leave the decision to the stylist by selecting the "Surprise me" option. If this option is chosen, the stylist will pick a random style or color different from the player's current one.

===Autumnal Avenue===
====Poké Ball Boutique====
A specialty shop that specializes in different kinds of [[Poké Ball]]s. It is notably the only location in any Pokémon game where {{DL|Poké Ball|Premier Ball}}s are sold individually.

====Juice Shoppe====
{{split|[[Juice Shoppe]]|section}}
A specialty shop that sells juices made from [[Berry|Berries]]. Available from the man on the left are pre-made juices whose selection list changes each day. They can have various effects on the Pokémon drinking the juice, ranging from increasing [[Effort Values]] or level. If the Pokémon already has maximum value on the particular stat, the juice will increase its [[friendship]] instead. By looking at the price of the juice, the player may determine intensity of the effects. For example, a Purple Juice priced at {{Pdollar}}1,500 will increase {{stat|HP}} {{EV}}s of the Pokémon by 15, or a Rare Soda priced at {{Pdollar}}20,000 will increase level of the Pokémon by two.

Only one juice item can be bought/made per day. Saving before speaking with the man and [[soft resetting]] will change the list of juices he sells. Juices cannot be kept once bought or made, so they must be given to a Pokémon in the player's party right away. If the player mixes Berries at the right counter, but decides against giving it to a Pokémon, the female clerk will drink the juice instead, thanking the player for the drink.

When a Rare or Ultra Rare Soda is drunk, the Pokémon will not be able to learn any moves or to evolve.

From the lady on the right, custom-blend juices are made for free by mixing two chosen Berries from the player's bag. Different {{dl|Berry fields|Berry Colors|color}} berries yield different results. When two berries of the same color are mixed together, they will become a ''<Color> Juice'' that increases a stat by 4-32 EVs.

The intensity of the effects can be determined by the berries used, and which group(s) the berries belong to. As an example, when two [[Leppa Berry|Leppa]] Berries are mixed together, they will produce a Red Juice that will increase the drinker's Attack Stat by 4 EVs. However, a Leppa Berry mixed with a [[Tamato Berry]] will yield a increase of 16 EVs to the drinker's Attack Stat instead.

===Estival Avenue===
[[File:XY Prerelease Lumiose City.png|thumb|right|300px|A pre-release screenshot of Estival Avenue]]

====Loto-ID Center====
{{main|Pokémon Lottery Corner}}
A building where the player may participate in a lottery drawing every day. Prizes are granted depending on how many digits from a randomly generated ID number match those of any Pokémon in the player's possession.

====Lumiose Press====
The building where [[Alexa]] works. Alexa will recommend various locations around the city for the player to visit, and offer to take them there.

===Vernal Avenue===
====Friseur Furfrou====
A shop that specializes in {{p|Furfrou}} grooming. The player may buy a trim for a Furfrou in their party for {{PDollar}}500. Trims last for five days or until the Furfrou is deposited in the [[PC]]. The shop initially only offers Star, Diamond, or Heart Trims (as well as the option to return it to a natural look), but as the player gains style, more trims become available. At 10 points of style, the La Reine, Kabuki, and Pharaoh Trims become available, while the Debutante, Matron, and Dandy Trims are available at 50 points of style.

====Herboriste====
A specialty shop that sells [[herbal medicine]]s.

====Stone Emporium====
A specialty shop that sells [[evolutionary stone]]s. A man in the store will offer to sell the player the remaining [[Mega Stone]]s for the two [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] they did not receive from [[Professor Sycamore]]. The price of these Mega Stones begins at {{pdollar}}1,000,000 but will decrease as the player becomes more [[#Style|stylish]], eventually being available for only {{pdollar}}10,000. After defeating the Elite Four, the owner will first offer the Mega Stone for the Kanto starter that is super-effective to the one chosen by the player.

====Boutique Couture====
A designer fashion and luxury boutique. The first floor sells only women's clothing, whereas the second floor sells only men's clothing. The player is only granted access to the boutique once they have at least 25 points of style. The [[Clothing|clothes and accessories]] sold here have much higher prices than those sold at other boutiques across Kalos.

===Restaurants===
{{main|Lumiose City restaurants}}
Lumiose City has four restaurants located on South Boulevard (Restaurant Le Nah), Autumnal Avenue (Restaurant Le Yeah), Hibernal Avenue (Restaurant Le Wow), and near Rogue Plaza (Sushi High Roller). At each restaurant, the player can pay to be served a meal where the server will battle the player before each course. After finishing a meal, the player will receive a reward: a number of some [[valuable item]], depending on which restaurant the player is in and how well they did.

===Lysandre Café===
[[File:XY Riding Gogoat.png|thumb|right|300px|Artwork of Calem riding the Gogoat Shuttle]]
A red café located near Magenta Plaza. It grants the player access to [[Lysandre Labs]], one of [[Team Flare]]'s hideouts in the Kalos region. Despite the small size, it serves as an important location in both the main plot line and the after story sideline plot with [[Xerosic]].

===Lumi Cab===
Lumi Cab is a taxi service with stops located all around Lumiose City, enabling the player to easily travel directly to many locations in the sprawling city. The base fare is {{PDollar}}710, but it increases the further away from the destination the taxi starts. All of the destinations are internally assigned to a section of the city, and those destinations in the same section share the same cost, with those in the same section as the taxi starts in costing the cheapest.

Once the player reaches a certain level of stylishness, the driver will start giving a 50% discount on the fare. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the {{tc|driver}} will challenge them to a battle.

The possible destinations are shown below, with the section the destination belongs to noted after the location. Destinations on the Boulevards are split between East and West destinations in addition to North and South, while more internal destinations (mostly on Avenues) are only differentiated by North or South.

===Gogoat Shuttle===
Signposts located all around the Boulevards, where the player can ride a {{p|Gogoat}} that will take them to South Boulevard East or South Boulevard West if the player is riding at South Boulevard; or North Boulevard East or North Boulevard West if the player is riding at North Boulevard. The fare is flat at {{Pdollar}}200.

==Style==
Within Lumiose City, the player has a degree of style which can be raised by doing things around the city. If the player has a high style, prices may be lower, more items and services may be offered, and certain establishments may be accessible that were not before.

===Increasing style===
When the player first speaks to [[Alexa]] in the Lumiose Press building on Estival Avenue, they will gain 5 points of style.

===In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U===
{{main|Prism Tower (stage)}}

Prism Tower, Lumiose City's prominent landmark, appears as [[Prism Tower (stage)|a stage]] in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Lumiose City anime.png|thumb|Lumiose City in the anime]]

{{Ash}} arrived in Lumiose City with [[Alexa]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' as his first destination of the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the Gym there, but he was denied access due to not having enough Kalos badges by the [[Clembot]]. He fell several feet, then he was saved by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. This is also where Ash had his first Kalos battle using {{AP|Pikachu}} against [[Clemont's Bunnelby]] until the battle was interrupted by {{TRT}} trying to capture Pikachu. They were nearly successful until the group was saved by a {{wild|Froakie}}, who was injured in the process, needing immediate treatment. Bonnie suggested taking Froakie to Professor Sycamore's lab.

==Trivia==
* A woman beside Café Bataille explains that the two {{p|Skiddo}} in front of Lumiose Station were abandoned by their Trainer, and wait by the station for his return. This is a possible reference to the story of {{wp|Hachikō}}, an Akita dog who waited at the train station every day for his owner's return, even after his unexpected death. The story is a popular legend in Japanese culture.
* If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their [[bicycle]], the music does not change.
* At the Magenta Plaza [[Pokémon Center]], a young man mentions [[Team Plasma]] "making news a {{game|Black and White|s|while back}} in the [[Unova]] region," while a young woman mentions [[Professor Oak]]'s {{ga|Blue|grandson}} having visited Kalos to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting [[S.S. Anne]] in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s|Generation I}} {{game|Yellow||games}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
* The four avenues are named after words pertaining to each of the four seasons: Estival (Summer), Autumnal (Autumn), Hibernal (Winter), and Vernal (Spring).
* The five plazas are named after French words corresponding to their color: Rouge (red), Bleu (blue), Vert (green), Magenta (magenta), and Jaune (yellow).
* The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart. Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanized, dating back to the 1960s.
* Similarly to Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by {{wp|List of railway stations in Paris|railroads}}.
** The layout of the city is also extremely similar to the area of Paris surrounding the Arc de Triomphe.
* On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo, a {{tc|Hex Maniac}} will appear, saying "No, you're not the one," and float away. The purpose of this in-game event, if there is one, is not known yet.
** In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player can talk to a Hex Maniac on the first floor of [[Mt. Pyre]]'s interior who says the exact same words. The relation between these two events is unknown.
* Behind the second TMV timetable in Lumiose Station, some words are written saying "I'm going to go for help. Wait in the usual place."
* The shape and colors of the plazas closely resemble the logo of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in [[Generation IV]].
* Lumiose City has more [[Pokémon Center]]s than any other city, with three.
* The [[Mega Stone]]s for the [[Kanto]] [[starter Pokémon]] sold at the Stone Emporium are the most expensive purchasable items in the [[Pokémon games]], costing {{PDollar}}1,000,000 originally. Some items have been listed for the same price in previous games, but they have not been purchasable since that price was specifically chosen in those instances to be {{PDollar}}1 more than the player could hold.

===Glitches===
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in]]
{{main|Lumiose City save glitch}}
At the time of release of {{g|X and Y}}, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.

==Origin==
Lumiose City and [[Prism Tower]] are {{DL|Pokémon world in relation to the real world|Kalos|based on}} {{wp|Paris}} and the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} respectively.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} group and itself, including {{egg|Gender unknown|some genderless Pokémon}}, to produce Eggs of the other's species.

==Biology==
[[File:Duplica Ditto Pikachu.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Duplica]]'s Ditto {{m|transform}}ed as a {{p|Pikachu}}]]
In its natural state, Ditto is a light purple or magenta free-form shape blob with vestigial facial features. It also appears to have two vestigial, handless 'arms' protruding from its body. It is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. [[EP037|The anime]] has shown that occasionally a Ditto cannot change its face. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Ditto cannot mimic the strength of another Pokémon, but it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. Ditto will also transform into a rock when sleeping to avoid attack. Ditto is never far from {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|civilization or people}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ditto Number 1.png|right|200px|thumb|Ditto in the anime]]

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it could not change its size.

{{main|Ditty}}
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

A Trainer in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] is seen with a Ditto in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}} and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, Monlee.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
''Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[File:132Ditto Ranger3.png|thumb|200px|Ditto in Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]
* {{g|Pinball}}: Ditto appears on the Red Table blocking the [[evolution]] cave, once the evolution arrows are lit, it moves out of the way, allowing the player to evolve one of the Pokémon they have captured.

One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.
{{spoilers}}

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, prior to Generation V, if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]] and its [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]]).
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave stage]]. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the [[EP037|anime]], although it was understood that this was not natural. {{TCG|Ditto|Ditto cards}} from the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{Trading Card Game}} expansion and the Clefairy Ditto that may appear in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s slot machines also have this trait.
* Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific items associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move.
* Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appear.
* Ditto shares several aspects with {{p|Mew}}: the move {{m|Transform}}, the same {{Shiny}} blue and normal pink color, perfectly balanced base stats and the same weight, {{tt|8.8 pounds|4.0 kg}}.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} had the same [[cry]].
* Since Transform copies its target's stats (except HP), Ditto cannot utilize its Special Attack stat before Transforming, though it can use its Attack stat for {{m|Struggle}} and {{status|confusion}} damage.
* In [[Generation II]], a transformed Ditto keeps its original purple color palette (blue if Shiny).
* Since Ditto's only move, Transform, cannot copy moves in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and has only one PP, its only move after transforming is Struggle.

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M (00) again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Ditto glitch====
{{main|Mew glitch#Ditto glitch|Mew glitch}}
The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the {{stat|Special}} stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

====Transform assumption glitch====
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a Ditto in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue, because wild Mew could not have been legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where wild Mew could be legitimately encountered.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|List of glitches in Generation II#Shiny Ditto glitch|List of glitches in Generation II}}
By trading any [[Shiny Pokémon]] to a Generation I game, having a wild Ditto transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be Shiny.

====Transform-specific glitches====
{{main|Transform (move)#Glitches|Transform (move)}}

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori revealed that Ditto was originally based on the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an ''{{wp|amoeba}}'', a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an {{wp|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It could also have been based on a {{wp|blob}}.

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'', a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. It was also a common name for copies of master documents created by mimeograph machines, as well as English slang meaning "the same" (in agreement or to copy someone's order).

Metamon is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'' and ''monster''. Alternatively, ''Meta'' as a prefix means "to encompass all," which Ditto's {{m|Transform}} move does do to Pokémon.

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type|Normal}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within the [[Snowpoint Temple]], [[Twist Mountain]], or [[Island Cave]], where it sleeps. In the former two locations, it will still be present if those Pokémon are absent, but it does not awaken and only seems to be a statue to the player.

It is the [[trio master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[Legendary golems]].

==Biology==
[[File:Regigigas orb.png|thumb|left|250px|Regigigas in its slumber]]
Regigigas is a large, white, golem Pokémon with seven black dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The dot pattern is Regigigas's way of showing its anger: its eyes glow red when it is mad. It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis, with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. It has large yellow bands on its shoulders and wrists, with a sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head also being yellow. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time. Legends say that its colossal strength enables it to move continents. It can communicate via telepathy.

Regigigas is decent at crafting as it is capable of making golems of inanimate objects and bring them to life. Regigigas is capable of controlling these [[Legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It can also survive extreme conditions as it is capable of working with high temperature magma, ({{tt|1300-2400°F|700-1300°C}}) as well as extremely cold ice ({{tt|-328°F|-200°C}}). When Regigigas is disturbed from its slumber, it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful beams. When it is befriended, however, it is calm and gentle, as seen in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. It is able to crush targets by using its [[signature move|signature move]], {{m|Crush Grip}}. Regigigas can handle any terrain.

==In the anime==
[[File:Regigigas anime.png|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Regigigas appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, it lives in a temple in the mountains of {{si|Gracidea}}. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action. When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on {{TRT}} during the credits.

Another Regigigas appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'' at the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. It went on a rampage after, using Hyper Beam on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[Legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

===Minor appearances===
A Regigigas appeared as part of Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', alongside Giratina.

A Regigigas appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

A Regigigas is set to appear in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', along with the [[creation trio]], the [[Tao trio]], the [[Eon duo]], {{p|Arceus}}, and {{p|Lugia}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Hareta Regigigas.png|thumb|200px|Regigigas in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Reg}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], its silhouette was first seen inside the [[Snowpoint Temple]] in ''[[PS400|Bogging Down Quagsire]]''. When {{adv|Platinum}}, [[Maylene]], and [[Candice]] were about to freeze in a blizzard following their defeat at the hands of [[Jupiter]], it was the one who carried them to safety. Whilst in her trance, Platinum unconsciously rolled over an empty [[Poké Ball]] to the creature, and it ended up in her bag before choosing to join {{adv|Diamond}} in an effort to stop {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s clash. It was later named "Reg."

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
{{main|Hareta's Regigigas}}
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] captures Regigigas by persuading it to help him stop [[Team Galactic]].

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
A Regigigas appeared in [[PMDP33]].

==In the TCG==

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Regigigas, together with four {{p|Bronzong}} and four {{p|Hitmonlee}}, are the statues that came alive to battle the player in [[Aegis Cave]]. After being recruited, it is able to join the player to explore. Its huge size makes it {{a|Slow Start|very slow}} for a little while, but it starts to move faster as the time wears on.

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its Ability}} weakening it, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon]]. They share the {{t|Normal}} type, the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[Ability|Abilities]] that limit their power.
** Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} also have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn [[TM]]s that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own Ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary golems]] not to have its type in its name.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Legendary golems that does not use the remix of the Legendary golem battle theme in {{v2|Platinum}}. Instead, it uses the Legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*** In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, however, the remix of the Legendary golem battle theme is used.
* In Platinum, by hacking to obtain [[Cherish Ball|Cherish Balls]], it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.
* In [[Generation IV]], Regigigas is the only Pokémon required to acquire the [[Diploma]] that cannot be obtained without the use of [[Generation III]] games or an event, even with all Generation IV titles. This limitation occurs because Regigigas cannot be obtained without the use of the other Legendary golems, which in turn cannot be obtained without either importing them from Generation III or obtaining them in Platinum with an event Regigigas.
* Regigigas is the tallest {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Regigigas is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.

====Name origin====
Regigigas is a combination of ''regis'', Latin for ''royal'', and γίγας ''gigas'', Greek for ''giant''.

'''Snorlax Snowman''' (Japanese: '''ホワイトストーリー''' ''White Story'') is the second episode of ''Pichu and Pikachu's Winter Vacation 2001''. It was first released in Japan on December 22, 2000. In the dub this short was combined with ''[[PK08|Delibird's Dilemma]]'' to form ''Pikachu's Winter Vacation'', the fourth episode of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], which first aired in the United Kingdom on June 1, 2005 and in the United States on June 17, 2006.

In this episode, Ash's Pokémon make a snowman shaped like a {{p|Snorlax}}, which comes to life.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Near a Pokémon Center on a snow-covered seashore, Pikachu and its friends make a Snorlax out of snow. That night, they wake up to see the snow Snorlax outside their window, come to life! All the Pokémon sneak out to play with the Snorlax, who leads them to a fruit tree growing on a cliff. Snorlax wants the fruit, but the cliff collapses under Snorlax's weight. Fortunately, everyone lands on the Snorlax, which acts just like a sled—but it slides all the way out to the shore and right onto a drifting ice floe!

The drifting Pokémon are sucked into a whirlpool, but Snorlax freezes the whirlpool into an icy viewing platform where everyone can watch Water-type Pokémon swimming through the sea. The Pokémon try to sail away on a boat made of ice, but it falls apart and two Lapras come to the rescue. They bring them to a land of Snorlax snowmen, where the snow Snorlax can join its friends, then take Pikachu and the gang back home. Pikachu and its friends fall asleep and wake up the next morning, back in the Pokémon Center. Their snow Snorlax is still outside—is it all a dream, or just some wintertime magic?

==Plot==
On top of a hill behind the Pokémon Center, the Pokémon are making snowmen. They are all small, but Totodile has made a giant one. The other Pokémon decide to work on that, and Chikorita begins by marking the eyes. All the Pokémon work together so that, by that evening, they have made a very realistic Snorlax.

That night, while everyone is asleep, Pikachu wakes up and notices a white Snorlax in the window. Pikachu wakes the other Pokémon up, and they follow the Snorlax through the woods until they come to a tree on top of a very weak cliff that overlooks the ocean. Snorlax points to an apple on the tree, which Chikorita gets down with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. Everyone runs for it, but Snorlax eats it in one bite, slamming down on the weak cliff face, and making everyone fall. Luckily, they fall on Snorlax, who slides into the ocean.

Stuck at sea, the Pokémon yell at Snorlax, who just falls asleep. Togepi points put the {{wp|Aurora (astronomy)|Northern Lights}}, which they take a moment to enjoy. However, while they aren't watching the sea, they float into a Whirlpool. No type of attack can save them, but just as they think all is lost, Snorlax wakes up and uses {{m|Blizzard}}, which freezes the water. They now effectively have their own aquarium, so they look at the water Pokémon for a while. During this scene, the song [[There's Magic in the Night]] is played.

When it is time to go, Totodile uses {{m|Water Gun}}, which Snorlax freezes. Bulbasaur and Chikorita then use their {{m|Razor Leaf}}, which seems to carve the Ice block into a boat. They use it to head back, but Geodude's bouncing around makes the boat fall apart. They sink, but two {{p|Lapras}} come to the rescue, and take them to an island where there are many more white Snorlax. As Snorlax waves, the Lapras take the rest of the Pokémon back to the Pokémon Center.

Everyone falls asleep, and when they wake up they are already back at the Center. Pikachu suddenly wakes up and asks the Pokémon something. They all nod in assent, and they run up the hill to where they see the snowman sitting in the sun where they left it.

== Trivia ==
*While the televised version uses the normal Chronicles ending, the DVD has the credits over a picture from the episode. This also happens in the Brazilian and the European Portuguese airings of the episode.
*The plot of the episode is very similar to the classic animated short {{wp|The Snowman}}.
*Unlike most [[Pikachu's Winter Vacations|Winter Vacation episodes]] that {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} are in, {{an|Misty}} was not present throughout the whole episode.

=== Errors ===
*Even though the Snorlax was made out of snow the inside of its mouth was pink.

'''Swoobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ココロモリ''' ''Kokoromori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Woobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
[[File:Robert Swoobat sleeping.png|thumb|left|220px|Swoobat sleeping]]
Swoobat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. It has fused, pointed ears with striated, lighter colored insides and a pink, heart-shaped snout with a single nostril. Swoobat's nose can produce many different ultrasonic waves. When it shakes its tail vigorously, it is producing sound waves powerful enough to destroy concrete. In contrast, it produces waves during courtship that can gladden any who hear it. Two wide, rounded teeth are visible in its lower jaw. A mane of shaggy, light blue fur surrounds its neck. Its black wings have a claw at the joint, and its small black feet have three toes each. It has a bare, pink tail that is twisted with two short prongs at the tip. In the anime, it is seen to hang from this tail rather than its feet as it sleeps.

==In the anime==
[[File:Swoobat anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Swoobat in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
A group of Swoobat debuted in ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]''. They were angry with {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} for disturbing their peace and chased her, {{an|Iris}}, and {{TP|Iris|Axew}} down. However, [[Ash's Pikachu]] and Emolga were able to take them down.

A Swoobat appeared in ''[[BW054|The Four Seasons of Sawsbuck!]]'' under the ownership of {{un|Robert}}.

[[Skyla]]'s Swoobat appeared in ''[[BW067|Cilan Takes Flight!]]'' where it battled {{an|Cilan}}'s {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}} and won with ease. However, it was defeated by [[Cilan's Crustle]] right afterwards. It reappeared in ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'' where it was used in a battle against {{Ash}}. It easily defeated his {{AP|Krokorok}} but lost to his {{AP|Tranquill|Unfezant}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Swoobat appeared in ''[[BW105|Lost at the League!]]''.

A Swoobat appeared as a mask for the festival in ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]''.

A group of Swoobat also appeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' at [[Pokémon Hills]].

A Swoobat appeared in the ending credits in ''[[PK25|Eevee & Friends]]''.

'''Crobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クロバット''' ''Crobat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golbat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]]. It is the final form of {{p|Zubat}}.

==Biology==
Crobat is a purple, bat-like Pokémon. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet, and has developed a second pair of wings with greenish-blue undersides and two stubby 'fingers'. Crobat's pointed ears are long, and appear to lack insides. Crobat's mouth is small and appears to have its teeth constantly bared. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils. Crobat is a [[Nocturnal Pokémon|nocturnal]] Pokémon. If Crobat is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it is proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. Crobat rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings. Crobat is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|cave-dwelling}} Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Crobat.png|220px|thumb|left|Crobat in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Brock's Crobat]]====
{{an|Brock}} had a Crobat that he originally caught as a {{p|Zubat}}. It reached its final evolutionary form in ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]''. He eventually gave it to his brother [[Forrest]].

====Other====
Several Crobat appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', employed by the [[J's henchmen|followers]] of [[J|Hunter J]].

===Minor appearances===
Crobat made a small appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} hit with a {{m|Dark Void}} attack as the other Trainers were attacking him.

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
[[File:Janine Crobat Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Crobat in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic manga===
A Crobat appeared in [[PRV2]].

Another one appeared in [[PRV3]] under the ownership of [[Heath]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Janine used a Crobat against Suicune in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]''. After Suicune countered its first attack, Janine ordered Crobat to use Double Team. Suicune was able to see through this as well, however, due to the shadow cast by the real Crobat and Janine, and Crobat was frozen.

In ''[[PS150|Chinchou in Charge]]'', a herd of Crobat, Zubat, and Golbat attacked [[Misty]], [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] in the [[Tohjo Falls]].

A Crobat was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]] in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]''.

{{adv|Giovanni}} is later seen with a Crobat in ''[[PS282|Going Green]]'', presumably picked up during his solo training journey.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
A Crobat was shown under the ownership of [[Jupiter]] which evolved from her {{p|Golbat}}.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
[[Asuka and Maya|Asuka]] is shown with a Crobat.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Crobat (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Crobat only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
''A Bat Pokémon that evolves from {{p|Golbat}}, Crobat's hind legs have evolved into a second pair of wings, which allows it to fly at great speeds but limits its ability to rest. The affection a Golbat has for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} is vital for the evolution process: if a novice Trainer has a Crobat, it shows that he or she cares for Pokémon well.''

* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Crobat and its pre-evolutions.
* Since its debut in [[Generation II]], Crobat's color scheme has been the reversed version of {{p|Golbat}}'s. This also applies to its {{Shiny}} variation.
* Crobat is tied for the fastest non-[[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] {{type|Poison}}, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 130.
** This also makes Crobat the fastest [[Generation II]] Pokémon.
* Crobat is the only Pokémon of its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings|body type}} that is not {{type|Bug}} or in the {{egg3|Bug}}.
* Crobat shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Crobat has the highest base stat total of all non-Mega {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, with 535.
* Crobat's evolutionary line has several similarities with {{p|Swoobat}}'s. All of the members of the lines are based on bats and reach their respective final evolutionary form by [[friendship]].

===Origin===
Crobat is based on a {{wp|bat}}.

====Name origin====
Crobat may be a combination of ''cross'' and ''{{wp|bat}}''. Alternatively, it may be a corruption of ''{{wp|Acrobatics|acrobat}}'', describing Crobat's maneuverability in the air.

'''Woobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コロモリ''' ''Koromori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Swoobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Woobat is a blue, spherical Pokémon, resembling a {{wp|Honduran White Bat}}. It is covered in shaggy fur and has a large, piggish nose with a heart-shaped nostril. Two tufts of shaggy fur hide its eyes, and its mouth has a single fang in the center of its upper jaw. There are two relatively small, black wings on either side of its body. Woobat's nose serves various purposes: It uses ultrasonic waves from its nostrils for echolocation, and it can also be used to grip walls as Woobat sleeps, which leaves heart-shaped marks on the walls of caves.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Woobat was first seen on [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] from the {{series|Best Wishes}} along with {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Axew}}.
* [[Karl]] in the 13th movie wears a baseball cap with a Woobat depicted on it.
* Woobat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Zubat}}'s family. All the members of both lines are Bat Pokémon species (excluding [[Swoobat]]), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved forms by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Woobat is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 313.
* Woobat shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Crobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Woobat}}
Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}.

====Name origin====
Woobat may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:woo|woo]]'' and ''bat''. It may also involve ''wool'' from its woolly appearance.

Koromori may be a combination of {{tt|心|こころ}} ''kokoro'' (heart) or ころころ ''korokoro'' (onomatopoeia for round thing rolling) and コウモリ ''kōmori'' (bat).

'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズバット''' ''Zubat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Zubat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with four pointed teeth. There are two pointed teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, and a male will have larger pointed teeth than the female. It has purple wing membranes support by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.

Zubat lives in abundance in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, instead navigating through dark environments with {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}}. As demonstrated in the [[EP006|anime]], it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves, forests, or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and {{tp|Brock|trained Zubat|Crobat}} have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams.

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Zubat.png|200px|left|thumb|Zubat in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{TP|Brock|Brock's Zubat|Crobat}}====
{{an|Brock}} had a Zubat that he caught in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' at [[Mt. Moon]]. It later evolved into a {{p|Golbat}} and then a {{p|Crobat}} during the Johto saga.

====Other====
One of Brock's love interests, [[Dr. Anna]], used the {{m|Supersonic}} sound waves made by her Zubat (nicknamed Mimi) to scan her patients in ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Like in the games, Zubat are commonly found in any random caves in the anime, and sometimes outdoors at night.

Multiple Zubat also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Another group of Zubat appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' and ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

A Zubat appeared in ''[[XY036|Battles in the Sky!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP006|Zubat|Ash's Pokédex|Zubat, blind Pokémon with {{m|Supersonic|supersonic powers}}. Zubat live in caves and hate to fly outside in daylight.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

===In Pokémon Origins===
A Zubat appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'' in [[Silph Co.]]

==In the manga==
[[File:Shu Zubat.png|thumb|200px|Zubat in Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Zubat makes a few cameos, first in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} as a [[Mt. Moon]] wild Pokémon in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as the Zubat evolutionary family.
* Zubat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Woobat}}'s family. All the members of both lines are Bat Pokémon species (excluding [[Swoobat]]), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved forms by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Zubat and Woobat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Zubat and its {{p|Golbat|evolutionary}} {{p|Crobat|relatives}} share their [[species]] name with {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Zubat, along with {{p|Golbat}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Zubat and Golbat are the only Pokémon to appear in the lineup of every villainous team in the main series games.

===Origin===
Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats. Its lack of eyes may come from the misconception that bats are blind.

====Name origin====
Zubat may be a pun based on both ''{{wp|bat}}'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'', an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something (possibly referring to its fangs or the sound a bat makes).

'''Woobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コロモリ''' ''Koromori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Swoobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Woobat is a blue, spherical Pokémon, resembling a {{wp|Honduran White Bat}}. It is covered in shaggy fur and has a large, piggish nose with a heart-shaped nostril. Two tufts of shaggy fur hide its eyes, and its mouth has a single fang in the center of its upper jaw. There are two relatively small, black wings on either side of its body. Woobat's nose serves various purposes: It uses ultrasonic waves from its nostrils for echolocation, and it can also be used to grip walls as Woobat sleeps, which leaves heart-shaped marks on the walls of caves.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Woobat was first seen on [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] from the {{series|Best Wishes}} along with {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Axew}}.
* [[Karl]] in the 13th movie wears a baseball cap with a Woobat depicted on it.
* Woobat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Zubat}}'s family. All the members of both lines are Bat Pokémon species (excluding [[Swoobat]]), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved form by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Woobat is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 313.
* Woobat shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Crobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Woobat}}
Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}.

====Name origin====
Woobat may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:woo|woo]]'' and ''bat''. It may also involve ''wool'' from its woolly appearance.

Koromori may be a combination of {{tt|心|こころ}} ''kokoro'' (heart) or ころころ ''korokoro'' (onomatopoeia for round thing rolling) and コウモリ ''kōmori'' (bat).

'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズバット''' ''Zubat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Zubat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with four pointed teeth. There are two pointed teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, and a male will have larger pointed teeth than the female. It has purple wing membranes support by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.

Zubat lives in abundance in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, instead navigating through dark environments with {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}}. As demonstrated in the [[EP006|anime]], it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves, forests, or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and {{tp|Brock|trained Zubat|Crobat}} have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams.

==In the anime==

====Other====
One of Brock's love interests, [[Dr. Anna]], used the {{m|Supersonic}} sound waves made by her Zubat (nicknamed Mimi) to scan her patients in ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]''.

===Minor appearances===

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as the Zubat evolutionary family.
* Zubat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Woobat}}'s family. All the members of both lines are Bat Pokémon species (excluding [[Swoobat]]), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at their respective unevolved states; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved form by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Zubat and Woobat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Zubat and its {{p|Golbat|evolutionary}} {{p|Crobat|relatives}} share their [[species]] name with {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Zubat, along with {{p|Golbat}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Zubat and Golbat are the only Pokémon to appear in the lineup of every villainous team in the main series games.

===Origin===
Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats. Its lack of eyes may come from the misconception that bats are blind.

====Name origin====
Zubat may be a pun based on both ''{{wp|bat}}'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'', an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something (possibly referring to its fangs or the sound a bat makes).

==In other languages==

'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズバット''' ''Zubat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Zubat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with four pointed teeth. There are two pointed teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, and a male will have larger pointed teeth than the female. It has purple wing membranes support by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.

Zubat lives in abundance in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, instead navigating through dark environments with {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}}. As demonstrated in the [[EP006|anime]], it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves, forests, or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and {{tp|Brock|trained Zubat|Crobat}} have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams.

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Zubat.png|200px|left|thumb|Zubat in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{TP|Brock|Brock's Zubat|Crobat}}====
{{an|Brock}} had a Zubat that he caught in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' at [[Mt. Moon]]. It later evolved into a {{p|Golbat}} and then a {{p|Crobat}} during the Johto saga.

====Other====
One of Brock's love interests, [[Dr. Anna]], used the {{m|Supersonic}} sound waves made by her Zubat (nicknamed Mimi) to scan her patients in ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Like in the games, Zubat are commonly found in any random caves in the anime, and sometimes outdoors at night.

Multiple Zubat also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

Another group of Zubat appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' and ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as the Zubat evolutionary family.
* Zubat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Woobat}}'s family. All the members of both lines are Bat Pokémon species (excluding [[Swoobat]]), live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes at the unevolved state; furthermore, members of both lines reach their respective fully-evolved form by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Zubat and Woobat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Zubat and its {{p|Golbat|evolutionary}} {{p|Crobat|relatives}} share their [[species]] name with {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Zubat, along with {{p|Golbat}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Zubat and Golbat are the only Pokémon to appear in the lineup of every villainous team in the main series games.

===Origin===
Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats. Its lack of eyes may come from the misconception that bats are blind.

====Name origin====
Zubat may be a pun based on both ''{{wp|bat}}'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'', an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something (possibly referring to its fangs or the sound a bat makes).

==In other languages==
{{Other languages|type=poison|type2=flying

== Your Talk Page ==

You say on your talk page that you only understand English and Romanian, and ask a user to talk in only these languages. But, if a user talked in another language, couldnt you just use google translate ?.... --[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/PikaTepig999|999]] 10:01, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
:Hey there, fellow Bulbapedian! Sorry for the late reply. Well, I could use google translate, of course, but we know that there is not yet such an advanced technology that could translate exactly what you meant. Plus, I am more than certain that you have to be somewhat fluent in English in order to contribute to this wiki. If you have any other questions feel free to share them with me!

Hello, DJWolfy. I believe the trivia is not just comparing Zubat, but Zubat's "evolutionary line." For this reason, shouldn't it say "prior to evolution"? —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 22:28, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

'''Crobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クロバット''' ''Crobat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golbat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]]. It is the final form of {{p|Zubat}}.

==Biology==
Crobat is a purple, bat-like Pokémon. Crobat has a stubby pair of feet, and has developed a second pair of wings with greenish-blue undersides and two stubby 'fingers'. Crobat's pointed ears are long, and appear to lack insides. Crobat's mouth is small and appears to have its teeth constantly bared. Crobat's eyes are yellow with red pupils. Crobat is a [[Nocturnal Pokémon|nocturnal]] Pokémon. If Crobat is flying by fluttering only a pair of wings on either the forelegs or hind legs, it is proof that Crobat has been flying a long distance. It switches the wings it uses if it is tired. By alternately resting its front and rear wings, it can fly all day without having to stop. Crobat rests by hanging on a tree branch with its rear legs that serve as wings. Crobat is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|cave-dwelling}} Pokémon.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
====[[Brock's Crobat]]====
{{an|Brock}} had a Crobat that he originally caught as a {{p|Zubat}}. It reached its final evolutionary form in ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]''. He eventually gave it to his brother [[Forrest]].

Several Crobat appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', employed by the [[J's henchmen|followers]] of [[J|Hunter J]].

===Minor appearances===
Crobat made a small appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' as one of the Pokémon {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} hit with a {{m|Dark Void}} attack as the other Trainers were attacking him.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP196|Crobat|Ash's Pokédex|Crobat, the evolved form of {{p|Golbat}}. With its two additional wings, Crobat is able to fly much faster than Golbat.}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Janine Crobat Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Crobat in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Darkrai Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger Vatonage - the Comic manga===
A Crobat appeared in [[PRV2]].

Another one appeared in [[PRV3]] under the ownership of [[Heath]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Janine used a Crobat against Suicune in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]''. After Suicune countered its first attack, Janine ordered Crobat to use Double Team. Suicune was able to see through this as well, however, due to the shadow cast by the real Crobat and Janine, and Crobat was frozen.

In ''[[PS150|Chinchou in Charge]]'', a herd of Crobat, Zubat, and Golbat attacked [[Misty]], [[Brock]], and [[Erika]] in the [[Tohjo Falls]].

A Crobat was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]] in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]''.

{{adv|Giovanni}} is later seen with a Crobat in ''[[PS282|Going Green]]'', presumably picked up during his solo training journey.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
A Crobat was shown under the ownership of [[Jupiter]] which evolved from her {{p|Golbat}}.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
[[Asuka and Maya|Asuka]] is shown with a Crobat.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Crobat (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Crobat only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
''A Bat Pokémon that evolves from {{p|Golbat}}, Crobat's hind legs have evolved into a second pair of wings, which allows it to fly at great speeds but limits its ability to rest. The affection a Golbat has for its {{pkmn|Trainer}} is vital for the evolution process: if a novice Trainer has a Crobat, it shows that he or she cares for Pokémon well.''

'''Woobat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コロモリ''' ''Koromori'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Swoobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Woobat is a blue, spherical Pokémon, resembling a {{wp|Honduran White Bat}}. It is covered in shaggy fur and has a large, piggish nose with a heart-shaped nostril. Two tufts of shaggy fur hide its eyes, and its mouth has a single fang in the center of its upper jaw. There are two relatively small, black wings on either side of its body. Woobat's nose serves various purposes: It uses ultrasonic waves from its nostrils for echolocation, and it can also be used to grip walls as Woobat sleeps, which leaves heart-shaped marks on the walls of caves.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* Woobat was first seen on [[a:File:BW anime.png|concept art]] from the {{series|Best Wishes}} along with {{p|Servine}}, {{p|Dewott}}, and {{p|Axew}}.
* [[Karl]] in the 13th movie wears a baseball cap with a Woobat depicted on it.
* Woobat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Zubat}}'s family. Both of them are Bat Pokémon species, live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes prior to evolution; furthermore, both of them reach their respective fully-evolved form by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Woobat and Zubat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Woobat is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 313.
* Woobat shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Golbat}}, and {{p|Crobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Woobat}}
Woobat appears to be based on the {{wp|Honduran white bat}} (a white species of fruit bat) and a literal interpretation of a {{wp|heart-nosed bat}}.

====Name origin====
Woobat may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:woo|woo]]'' and ''bat''. It may also involve ''wool'' from its woolly appearance.

Koromori may be a combination of {{tt|心|こころ}} ''kokoro'' (heart) or ころころ ''korokoro'' (onomatopoeia for round thing rolling) and コウモリ ''kōmori'' (bat).

'''Zubat''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズバット''' ''Zubat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Golbat}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Crobat}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]].

==Biology==
Zubat is a blue, bat-like Pokémon. While it lacks eyes, it has pointed ears with purple insides and a mouth with four pointed teeth. There are two pointed teeth on both the upper and lower jaws, and a male will have larger pointed teeth than the female. It has purple wing membranes support by two, elongated fingers, and two long, thin, tails.

Zubat lives in abundance in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It has evolved to have neither eyes nor nostrils, instead navigating through dark environments with {{wp|animal echolocation|echolocation}}. As demonstrated in the [[EP006|anime]], it will leave its abode at night with a mass of other Zubat in order to seek prey. During the daytime, Zubat sleeps hanging upside down in caves, forests, or under the eaves of old buildings, avoiding sunlight at all costs. Daylight causes Zubat to become unhealthy, and prolonged exposure can even burn its skin. However, captured and {{tp|Brock|trained Zubat|Crobat}} have been recorded as being much more tenacious in the daytime, even when directly exposed to sunbeams.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as the Zubat evolutionary family.
* Zubat's evolutionary line seems to have a connection with {{p|Woobat}}'s family. Both of them are Bat Pokémon species, live in caves or other dark places, and have no visible eyes prior to evolution; furthermore, both of them reach their respective fully-evolved form by [[friendship]], and both have similar Shiny forms (with green main bodies). Also, Zubat and Woobat have somewhat similar English names, both having rhyming prefixes and ''bat'' as a suffix.
* Zubat and its {{p|Golbat|evolutionary}} {{p|Crobat|relatives}} share their [[species]] name with {{p|Woobat}}. They are all known as the Bat Pokémon.
* Zubat, along with {{p|Golbat}}, has [[List of Pokémon that appear in every regional Pokédex|appeared in every regional Pokédex]]. This is due to the Unova Pokédex's expansion in Black 2 and White 2.
* Zubat and Golbat are the only Pokémon to appear in the lineup of every villainous team in the main series games.

===Origin===
Naturally, Zubat's design is inspired by bats. Its lack of eyes may come from the misconception that bats are blind.

====Name origin====
Zubat may be a pun based on both ''{{wp|bat}}'' and ずばっと ''zubatto'', an onomatopoeia for when an edged tool forcefully pierces something (possibly referring to its fangs or the sound a bat makes).

==In other languages==

'''HarmoKnight''' (Japanese: '''リズムハンターハーモナイト''' ''Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight'') is a rhythm platform game released for the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] that is exclusive to the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}}. The game was released in Japan on September 5, 2012 and in North America, Europe and Australia on March 28, 2013. The game was directed by [[James Turner]] of [[Game Freak]]. The game mixes elements from the rhythm and platformer genres in a variety of musical stages, some of which were inspired by music from the [[Pokémon games]].

HarmoKnight is one of the few games outside of Pokémon that Game Freak has developed since the debut of the series.

==Blurb==
Cover your ears – the planet of Melodia is under attack in this new game from the makers of Pokémon!
The evil Noizoids, under the orders of their leader Gargan, aren’t just disrupting the normal tuneful lives of Melodians everywhere – they’ve also kidnapped Ariana, the princess of Symphony City! Help Tempo, the boy chosen to wield the legendary staff, and his friends as they travel across Melodia on a musical adventure in HarmoKnight, only from Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL.
Over 50 stages of rhythm-action fun await, including bonus stages featuring much-loved tunes from some of your favourite Pokémon games!

==Worlds==
The game is played out in 'stages' which act as the games levels. Each themed World has 8 stages (excluding Showtime Island and Metal Mountains, which only have 3). There are some stages that play outside of worlds, such as the tutorial level Woodwin Village and the Bonus Stages (Pokémon-themed stages).

Every Stage has the option of playing at a Normal speed and a Fast speed. Getting a Gold rank on both modes will unlock official game art on the lower touch-screen. While the art unlocked is normally of a standard enemy, Boss levels will always reveal the image of the boss that was fought on that stage. In case of the Bonus Levels, you unlock playable character art and for World 8 you unlock Concept art.

**8 Stages: Mini-Boss: Growliks - Boss: Growlord
* World 2: Rock Range

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 16:50, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Clothing ==

I noticed you're heavly editing the Clothing page. I would like to also contribute I'm not sure what kind of sorting you're using to organized the page. Could you please look at the [[Talk:Clothing]] and answer me there? --[[User:Sekuiya|Sekuiya]][[User talk:Sekuiya|talk]] 16:51, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== James Turner ==

What is your source dat James Turner made Goomy and Sliggoo? --[[User:Altruis|Altruis]] [[User talk:Altruis|''でんき'']] 18:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
:Just a few discussions on /vp/. Like I said, not reliable. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 18:11, 2 January 2014 (UTC)

== Lumiose Trainers ==

Not trying to be argumentative with people, just trying to figure things out. Why are some trainers noted under the locations section and others are further down the page under a Trainers section? [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 22:35, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
:Hmm, hadn't noticed them. Per [[Project Locations]], all Trainers should go beneath places of interest, items and Pokémon (Project Towns and Cities doesn't mention Trainers in its structure, so Locations takes over). The restaurant Trainers should be put under their own headers under the Trainer section. And that one Lumi Cab Driver, who's using the wrong template. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 22:46, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon Biologies ==

Hi! This is specifically about {{p|Starly}} eating the berries from {{p|Grotle}}. With the way we're doing biologies now, references are extremely important. We really shouldn't have anything mentioned at all that doesn't have a reference or a picture on the page. In the future, please try to track down the source of the information specifically or add a picture showing it. Thanks! [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 20:59, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
:Aight. I don't touch Biology much, since I know the format was changed recently and there's still a number of pages that haven't been changed. I just saw your summary saying you needed a reference, so did a quick check; the picture on Grotle's page wasn't used on another page and I didn't see it mentioned on Ash's Torterra, so didn't have a clue where it came from. And I didn't think pictures (especially one centering more on a different Pokémon) would be wanted in the section. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 21:32, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Revert ==

Why did you revert my edits, the Scraggy line, Reshiram and Zekrom's types are no longer unique. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:02, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
:Because it doesn't matter if they're no longer unique, the trivia point is solely about the introduction of new unique combinations. It's like saying Generation I introduced the most Normal-types, including those later changed to Fairy; the trivium has nothing to do with what happened to them later, and adding it only confuses the point. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 02:12, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

::Oh yes, it didn't matter about type combinations so only when introduced right? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:14, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
:::Yes. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 02:18, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

== Proper nouns ==

In regards to the TCG, both Series and Era are proper nouns, and should be capitalized at all times. This is, however, different from the anime, where series is not capitalized. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 03:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
:My bad. I thought I saw the Original Series box use lowercase, so I assumed, it being the first, that it wasn't capitalized like all the following Series. Does that mean the TCG Releases template needs to have Era capitalized? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 04:02, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

== A little note ==

Just so you know, it is probably a better idea to post to someone's talk page if it seems they aren't looking at the edit summaries. A new user may not think to look there, or they may not have even gone on the recent changes page to see the summaries. They could very well be refreshing the talk page to see if someone responds to their post and not even looking at the recent changes. Just something to keep in mind. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 02:47, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
:I was actually making a message to them after the second time; I checked to make sure no one beat me to it (since I'm rather slow on a phone), when I saw they added it back and did a quick revert. And I now see you have indeed beaten me to the punch. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 02:56, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Geez, I always forget those pronouns... thanks for catching them. You'd better keep watching, with my track record... haha. --'''[[User:FireGambit|FireGambit]]''' ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 22:17, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
:No prob. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 22:24, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

== Yo ==

Mind if I help add PMD1 move descriptions? I know you've been adding them over the past couple of months, so I thought I'd ask first to make sure I wouldn't be interfering with anything.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 00:14, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
:Nah, go ahead. I've been keeping track of items found in the dungeons, which stretches out dungeon crawls a lot, so getting more moves takes me a long time. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 00:49, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

== {{p|Vivillon|Viviyon}} name origin ==

I added the ll note so people can understand why the "y" is there. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 17:55, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:Yamitora1 brought up the name pronunciation on the talk page a while back and asked if it was notable. Funktastic pretty much said "Not really, that's how French works" and I agree. We already note that papillon is a French word, I don't think we should have to tell people how the French pronounce their letters (and if I recall correctly, "ll" is actually a different letter from "l" in romance languages, so it'd probably turn into a grammar lesson). Plus, the way you put it looked like it was saying there's an English sound in a Japanese word. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 18:41, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
::I meant why the "y" is in "Viviyon". [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 18:53, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
:::...That's what I just said. The "yon" sound comes from papillon, which doesn't need further explanation. The trademarked name isn't actually an English word, it's a Japanese word spelled with Roman characters; it uses whichever letters it needs to to get the intended sound. ''That's'' why there's a y in it: the Japanese name uses characters that make a "yon" or "yah" sound or something like that, which is there because of papillon. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 19:11, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

== Mother 3 and other franchises ==
Game Freak did infact develop both Mother and Mother 2, more infamously known as EarthBound, under the company name of Ape Inc. Regardless, Both Pokemon and Mother/EarthBound are first,foremost and cheifly Nintendo owned and/or created franchises, so shouldn't any ''native'' copyrights be valid? Do we have to avoid talking about Mario, too?{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:As I said in the edit summary, Game Freak didn't have a part in Mother ''3''. Staff have previously removed copyrighted material from origin sections, including the Mother series (see {{p|Mewtwo}}'s history).

:Also, if you forget to sign a comment the first time, you're supposed to use the <nowiki>{{unsigned|User}}</nowiki> template instead of signing afterwards, as it messes up the time stamps. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:35, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Even Nintendo Copyrights?--[[User:Hwrdjacob|Hwrdjacob]] ([[User talk:Hwrdjacob|talk]]) 00:44, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

And furthermore, Game Freak doesn't really matter at all when it comes to copyrights. They only have a small fraction of the claims to Pokemon and Mother: Nintendo owns everything about the two. Therefore, it seems stupid to me that we cannot cross reference something related to Pokemon AND owned by the same company, who referenced themselves in the first place. Smash Bros. would not be allowed on this wiki using this logic.
{{unsigned|Hwrdjacob}}
:First, I don't have the time nor the inclination to find out which copyrights are held by Nintendo and which are held by developers.

Ok, are we supposed to ignore the various references to other Nintendo owned franchises? Like the Mario game in the Department store, the NES,GCN,Wii, etc., and of course the ''painfully'' blatant origin of Excadrill? It's not like Mewtwo where it was broad strokes; the resemblance is astonishing. What about the move Round? Or here's a good question: why is Pulseman on the wiki? If Pokemon references something, it ''references'' something. Oh, and there's a whole page dedicated to references to popular culture, almost none of which are owned by Nintendo.

== Revert on volbeat breeding learnset ==

I added lightscreen, but you reverted it because "it's not an egg move" but i don't what that means. When the volbeat comes out of the egg at lvl 5 he has that move and the Dustox gets it by lvl up. So what is an egg move?, btw this is in sapphire. [[User:Faito|Faito]] ([[User talk:Faito|talk]]) 05:37, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:An [[Egg move]] is a move that a Pokémon learns through breeding, though for the learn lists we narrow it down to moves it can ''only'' learn through breeding. Volbeat can already learn Light Screen through TM16. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 11:47, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

==Sorry==

I understand the problem, but I'm not going to change it. Please hear me out.

I'm not from the United States. I'm from the United States of America. I'm not accusing you or anyone else on Bulbapedia of this, but I'm sick of people (mostly self-righteous foreigners who think my countrymen are completely oblivious of the outside world) trying to drop "America" from the name, or referring to my people as "U.S. Americans" because there happens to be two continents that have America in their name.

Referring to the USA as "the United States" without "America" on the end isn't any more specific or accurate than just saying "America". The official, full name of Mexico ([[wp:Mexico|Estados Unidos Mexicanos]]) essentially translates to the United States of Mexico in English. Likewise, the USA is referred to as the Estados Unidos Americanos in Spanish. When Mexico won its independence, they modeled their government after ours, right down to the name. Either way you slice it, there's potential confusion.

None of the other countries in North or South America have America in their name. Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc. do not and have never identified as Americans. They identify as Brazilians, Mexicans, Canadians, etc., or in the past, as subjects of whatever empire they were a part of.

The USA was free to call itself what it wanted, America, long before any of them won their own independence or it was given to them.

So you can either ignore it, or change the official tag to United States of America. I will not bend to this extreme, ridiculous example of political correctness. If it means I get disciplined or even permanently banned, so be it. I'm tired of my people's identity being stolen from us.

== Zorua/Zoruark and Deoxys ==

I disagree with you. Zorua required a fateful encounter Celebi to get it in its first appearance in a game, which you could only get through events, meaning it was event exclusive. Sure, it could be bred, but an event was required to get it in the first place. Zoroark also needed event Pokémon to get it in its first appearance. Even the trivia on Zorua's page agrees with me "Zorua and Zoroark are the only two non-legendary Pokémon to ever have once been event-exclusive". ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 19:27, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:I'm gonna disagree with that trivium. You could get a Zorua in B2W2 and could thus trade it back to BW. You could argue that that makes Zorua still event-exclusive for BW, but I'd be willing to bet there are events from Gen III of a Kanto or Johto mon that does the same thing for RSE. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 19:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
:And I am correct; {{p|Bulbasaur}} could only be obtained in RSE through trading with a later-released game or an event. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:58, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
::But Bulbasaur and the other Kanto starters started off as non-event exclusive. They were available in Red/Blue/Green/Yellow. Unlike Zorua and Zoroark, who started off as event exclusive in the first game they were introduced in. By using your logic, you could say that every Pokémon you can't get in a game without trading or events are event exclusive. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 10:54, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
:::That's why I'm saying Zorua's not event-exclusive. It became readily available (more so than it already was through breeding) only one game later, so it's only "exclusive" to a single pair of games, just as is Bulbasaur and probably dozens more. But that's not what we mean by event-exclusive. Because it was Zorua's first game I feel is being too semantic (especially given that the whole event-exclusive label was supposed to be used for mons that are ''always'' event-exclusive, i. e. Mythical Pokemon). [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 11:06, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
::::Greetings. I happened to be over at ArcToraphim's page and have given my opinion there. While I can't call it an "official ruling", per se, I covered all of the availability that you both have covered. Because it was available without the need for Memory Link in B2/W2 (others of N's required it to unlock their appearances), I would say that while it's an in-game event, it's one that happens every single time you restart the file. The question therefore is whether you consider an in-game event as event exclusive. I don't. Therefore, I say no only because of B2/W2; otherwise, yes, the ones in B/W require imports from Gen. IV.

== About movie 1 ==

"What's the point of saying ''we don't know if it was edited?''": what I meant is that once they decided to add the ten-minute prologue (instead of starting the movie with Ash battling [[Raymond]] the pirate trainer) they probably edited out some datails from the movie proper that became redundant since the prologue already explained Mewtwo's backstory. In fact, if one watches the three Mewtwo episodes and then the movie without the prologue, he will find the episodes confusing since the movie proper doesn't explain the unexplained things in those episodes. I wish someone could translate the various entries like [http://www.style.fm/as/05_column/shudo167.shtml this one] from Takeshi Shudo's blog so that we know what he said about the movie. --[[User:Abcd|Abcd]] ([[User talk:Abcd|talk]]) 16:47, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

== ORAS demo islands ==

With the information you gave me [[Talk:Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version#Trainer and Pokémon listings?|previously]] and encounter data floating around the net, I've figured out that apparently the guide book's numbering for the different Mirage spots follows the location's index number (Mirage caves 1-8 correspond to locations 508-515 (respectively), for example). Using all that, I've managed to confidently determine which of the ORAS Mirage spots correspond to which of the ORAS demo islands. There's just one thing that's unclear to me...

For the outside area of the island in the first demo adventure (before you enter the cave where Matt and Tabitha are), it's not clear where that corresponds to in ORAS. I've ''tentatively'' hypothesized that the Mirage Caves might have a brief outer area where you initially land, except that in ORAS perhaps ''none'' of these places have grass (as the places I'm looking at don't have encounter tables). Is that so, or does that outside area in the demo correspond to somewhere else?

(I also wonder about the outside areas (at the beginning and the end) of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlYozBhwNXE secret Aqua/Magma mission], and the outside of the Expert battle island. Though those places don't have grass, I'm still curious.) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
:Caves have outside landing areas, yes. And, as I recall, they don't have any grass (at work attm, so can't verify). The first mission Cave matches up except for the added patches. Haven't managed to get the last secret mission, but the videos looked like Mirage Cave 5 (or whatever I said on the demo page). [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 20:16, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Mirage Spots ==

Regarding [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Soaring_in_the_sky&diff=next&oldid=2236356 this comment], I got updated information from a friend online whom I had no way of Streetpassing (he was surprised when I told him about his 146 Wonder Trades).

Further, when I figured this out today, the indication of 22 updates came in, and I ended up resetting without saving (I was testing something and forgot to save after catching Magby). I had to reconnect to again get 22 notices, and the island with Magby did not appear. The same thing I did twice more until a Munna island (or mountain, it gets both) appeared. Therefore, there IS A correlation to data being received with a connection to the Internet even if the connection is not required for Streetpass data; you must connect to download the data to the game, I find. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 16:59, 16 January 2015 (UTC)

I wonder if the data is stored and you can only connect (and then save) Internet data once a day, but if you don't save it forgets that you already connected to the Internet? Getting data from Streetpasses makes the most sense since friends aren't always online; in that case, it likely saves a whole bunch of data until midnight and then, on the new day, your first connect refreshes data.

== Spell of the Unown ==

Why do you claim it doesn't say "Entei" whenever "Spell of the Unown" is shown? Take as an example [[:File:Spell of the Unown cover.png|the book cover]], it says "Entei" below "Unown". If it's because of the [[:File:M03 Title screen.png|title screen picture]] we have, it's incomplete as it was taken before the animation for the logo ended, [http://i.imgur.com/LJe6Gqv.png here's the complete title screen]. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 19:29, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
:So it does. I thought the line on the book was just a fancy underscore. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:26, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

== In case you're wondering ==

That link seemed to be meh, haha. The specific link is [http://family.shogakukan.co.jp/kids/netkun/pokemon/official/zukann/a_zukann/zukann_o_02.html here]. Apparently, those with only one known Ability by the time of Generation III will have it as default, which is why Alakazam and Rapidash don't have a set Ability. This website also explains how certain Pokémon have genders. Let me know if you have any questions! [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:47, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
:I can't decipher moon runes, so I'll have to take your word for it. Can't imagine they had a fun time when Pokémon got second Abilities. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 02:58, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
::I can't read Japanese either, but I'm using the translations given by Bulbapedia and slowly piecing it together. For reference, the third section is Ability (とくせい), and the fourth is nature (せいかく). Still not entirely sure on the first two though. If you want, you can help out, haha. Speaking of second Abilities though, trivia point! Seadra only had {{a|Poison Point}} prior to Generation IV, and Kusaka decided to give the Seadra Yellow caught and released {{a|Sniper}}. This man's crazy.

== Usertags ==

Can you help put some user tags on my page? --[[User:RockinJack18]] is awesome 13:42, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
:Just browse through [[:Category:Usertags]] and add what you want. If you can't find something, make it yourself with the {{template|User Template}}. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 14:44, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

:Well what do I do? --[[User:RockinJack18]] is awesome 20:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

== Which apostrophe to use ==

Hello. I suppose this is quite a minor issue to discuss, so I'll be brief. It looks to me that in game, the more curly, typographic apostrophe (’), as opposed to the straight, typewriter apostrophe ('), is used. Is the reason you changed it that maybe in Bulbapedia, we just use the typewriter apostrophe? Thanks! —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 03:48, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
:Uniformity mostly, partially my disdain for word processors. It's the default for keyboards, so it's simply going to be used more. I believe the ' is a byte less of data, too. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 13:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
::Okay, I see what you mean. However, do you think that maybe conformity to the text used in game would be more important than uniformity with what apostrophe generally is used? Thanks for responding! —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 23:34, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

{{bulbanews|game}}
{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White 2}}

'''Pokémon Black Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック２''' ''Pocket Monsters Black 2'') and '''Pokémon White Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト２''' ''Pocket Monsters White 2'') are the second and final [[Core series|paired versions]] of [[Generation V]] and are the sequels of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], respectively.

Both games were revealed on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' by [[Junichi Masuda]], and subsequently the official Japanese and international<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]</ref> Pokémon websites, on February 26, 2012. They were released in Japan on June 23, 2012, in North America on October 7, 2012, in Australia on October 11, 2012, in Europe on October 12, 2012 and in South Korea on November 8, 2012.

The games feature two new forms of {{p|Kyurem}} that serve as the [[version mascot]]s of the games: Black Kyurem for Black 2 and White Kyurem for White 2.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}

The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Many changes have taken place in [[Unova]] over this period: new locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, and some previously existing locations cannot be visited or are restricted until later in the game. Three new [[Gym Leader]]s and a new {{pkmn|Champion}} are introduced, while the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|expanded]] to include Pokémon foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}.

The player—named, by default, {{ga|Nate}} if male or {{ga|Rosa}} if female—begins in the southwestern city [[Aspertia City]]. After receiving their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]'s assistant [[Bianca]], they are encouraged to battle in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and aim for the {{un|Pokémon League}}. A boy from the player's hometown, [[Hugh]], will travel with the player at certain times. Filling the traditional [[rival]] role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from [[Team Plasma]], who were not disbanded two years prior as expected.

Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist [[Colress]]. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Zinzolin]], appears in an antagonistic role, yet former sage [[Rood]] will help the player. The plot comes to a head when Zinzolin freezes [[Opelucid City]] in ice with a combination of technology and the legendary dragon {{p|Kyurem}}, which Team Plasma has captured. The player must defeat Team Plasma including its new leader [[Ghetsis]] to free {{p|Kyurem}}. Ghetsis will combine the power of Kyurem with the power of the [[tao trio|legendary dragon]] befriended by [[N|his son]] two years earlier and force Kyurem to [[form differences#Kyurem|fuse]] with {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. Only once Kyurem is safe and Team Plasma has been disbanded, can the player continue his or her journey to the Pokémon League.

After the main plot of the game has been completed, many inaccessible parts of Unova, including the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], will be unlocked. Further Pokémon not native to Unova will be available, and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} and {{p|Kyurem}} will reveal themselves to the player. When they are caught, the player will be able to fuse the Pokémon and change Kyurem's form at will.

==Blurb==
Two powers combine...A new legend arises! Set off on a new Pokémon adventure to save the Unova region! You and your Pokémon can accomplish anything together!

==Changes from Pokémon Black & White==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Nate (game)|game]] [[Rosa (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Swords of Justice]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version.
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, experience points, and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* The area change indicator has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* New locations such as [[Aspertia City]], [[Virbank City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Lentimas Town]] and [[Humilau City]] have been added to the game.
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Benga]].
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns.
* All Unova Gyms receive redesigns, including newly remixed music in all but the [[Aspertia Gym]].
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* Every Trainer has their own fully animated sprite. They have more frames, allowing for smoother animations.
* Several attacks have received new battle animations.
* The battle menu has been redesigned.
* The [[C-Gear]] has been redesigned.
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon.
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green.
** The Pokédex also receives an upgrade in the form of the [[Habitat List]]. It consists of a list of all visited places, with the Pokémon found there listed (if they have been seen). The player will sometimes receive prizes from certain NPCs {{tt|when a certain area is filled|This is indicated by a colored Poké Ball if all of the Pokémon found there have been captured. If all the Pokémon in that particular have been seen, but not captured, a gray Poké Ball will be shown.}}.
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites. This also applies for the overworld sprites.
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2.
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2. It has also changed location.
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed, while {{rt|10|Unova}} was blocked off due to a landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible.
* In place of [[Cold Storage]], there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Places marked on the map with green dots in Black and White are now marked with green squares. Also, now when they are tapped they become red (though they still cannot be flown to). This was only true of [[Liberty Garden]] in Black and White.
* During battles in tall grass, there are now visible tufts of grass around the platform, with varying colors depending on the season.
* Following the battle at [[Opelucid Gym]], [[Team Plasma]] will freeze [[Opelucid City]] (along with a portion of the neighboring routes, {{rt|9|Unova}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}), which will last until after the player has defeated the Elite Four.
* The weather icons have been redesigned and are smaller.

===Storyline changes===
{{spoilers}}
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]].
* Instead of the usual 5 [[Poké Ball]]s, the player is given 10 at the start of his or her journey.
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]], [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by [[Cheren]], [[Roxie]] and [[Marlon]] as Gym Leaders.
* Bianca gives the player a [[Starter Pokémon]].
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Ghetsis]].
* [[Colress]], a Team Plasma member, is battled frequently throughout the story.
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]] and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story.
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon.
* Iris is the new Champion of Unova.
* Ghetsis returns and plans to freeze Unova with Kyurem.
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is then fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}.
* Unlike {{game|Black and White|s}}, neither the version mascots Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} can be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements.
* {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} interact with the player, making it possible to catch them during the storyline, although it is possible to catch all three Pokémon including {{p|Terrakion}}.
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca, and a daily tag battle with one of either Chili, Cress, or Cilan against the other two brothers.
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others.
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here.
* Lenora revives the player's Fossils.
* Several new key items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced.
* During the post-game, the player may find [[N]] at his castle and on the first visit, battles his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season.
* Several areas that were previously limited to the post-game of Black and White are now part of the main story. In contrast, some of the areas that were formerly part of the main story are now limited to the post-game.

===Gameplay changes===
* The new [[Unova Link]] is introduced, which makes way for new features.
** [[Challenge Mode]] and [[Easy Mode]] are introduced, which raise and lower the strength of opposing Trainers respectively.
** A new feature called the [[Memory Link]] is introduced, which reveals flashbacks from the NPCs that shed light on events that happened between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
* Many TMs and all but {{m|Dive|one}} HM are received in different locations.
* The Xtransceiver adds two new mini-games called Balloon Catch, where the player needs to catch balloons of their face or an NPC's, and Balloon Smash, where the player needs to inflate the balloons as large as possible without bursting them.
* The [[Move Tutor]]s are back, and as with {{game|Platinum}}, they teach most of the moves that were in that game for [[Shard]]s, but here they all ask for shards of a specific color. They also teach many moves that lost their [[TM]] status, such as {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Roost}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}.
* If the player has used a [[Repel]], after its effect wears off, and if the player has more Repels in their Bag, they will be asked if they would like to use another immediately without having to go into the menu.
* A number of legendaries from Hoenn and Sinnoh (excluding the [[Weather trio]] and [[Creation trio]]) can be found in the post-game.
* {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{TM|95|Snarl}}, which were previously accessible through Nintendo events only, can now be found within the game without any special requirements.
* The [[Forces of Nature]] are notably the only [[Unova]] regional Pokémon absent from either game and must be obtained through the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and then transferred or alternatively they can be traded from {{2v2|Black|White}}. The Dream Radar is also necessary to obtain their new [[Form differences#Forces of Nature|forms]].
* Breeding was changed—the {{evostone|Everstone}} now always passes down Nature (if both parents hold Everstone, one parent's Nature is randomly picked).
* All {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s will now [[rematch|challenge the player again]] every time the player crosses their line of sight after exiting and re-entering the areas in which they are found.
* [[Hidden Grotto]]es are introduced and scattered all over Unova, giving access to many items and Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities, many of which were previously unobtainable.
* {{p|Watchog}}'s [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] is changed from 1 Attack to 2 Attack.
* Players can now move held items between Pokémon in their party.

==Features==
===Pokémon World Tournament===
{{main|Pokémon World Tournament}}

A new facility featured in Black 2 and White 2 is the Pokémon World Tournament, where the player is able to battle every [[Gym Leader]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except [[Koga]] and [[Iris]]) from the core series games in various types of battles.

===Pokéstar Studios===
{{main|Pokéstar Studios}}

Pokéstar Studios is a new feature in the games that allows the player to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The player chooses from various scenarios and acts them out.

===Medals===
{{main|Medal}}

Medals is a new type of achievement system. They are obtained from Mr. Medal at any [[Pokémon Center]] and are stored in the {{key|V|Medal Box}}.

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}

Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.

===Word filter===
The filter that [[List of censored words in Generation V|censors certain words]] in name inputs remains. The restriction on using four numerical digits is removed but only for Box names in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

===Sprite animations===
Just like in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allow for smoother animations.

The game also introduces new entry sprite animations for Pokémon, much as if it were a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

* [[N's Pokémon]], which are obtainable through [[Memory Link]], (with the exception of N's {{p|Zorua}}, who is obtainable during the main plot) have a green/yellow diamond shine, along with their own sound.
* Also, in the [[Pokéstar Studios]], when a player successfully completes a movie with their Pokémon in an unusual matter by deviating from the script, their Pokémon will become a star and during battles, when the Pokémon is summoned, a star will bounce upwards and then back downwards. This is the only entry animation that can be added manually by the player.

===Gyms===
Within the two years separating Black 2 and White 2 from their predecessors, some of the past [[Gym Leader]]s have passed on their positions to others or retired from the [[Unova League]]. The eight Gym Leaders of Unova are now: [[Cheren]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Roxie]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Drayden]] ({{t|Dragon}}) and [[Marlon]] ({{t|Water}}).

Each Gym has different music from the others. [[Aspertia Gym]] uses the normal Gym theme (probably due to the fact that it is a {{type|Normal}} Gym), while other Gyms use remixed versions, which are influenced by the type used and the Gym Leader's secondary occupation.

===Elite Four and Champion===
Like {{2v2|Black|White}}, the [[Elite Four]] can be battled in any order; after battling all four, a path to the {{pkmn|Champion}} is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}). The new Champion is [[Iris]].

==Pokémon==
Each game features a Pokédex of {{tt|301|numbered from 0 to 300}} different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous [[generation]]s such as {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Marill}}.

* Normally unavailable, Regice and Registeel can be caught in Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading respective keys from game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.

==Compatibility==
Black 2 and White 2 can connect with the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], which transfers Pokémon found to the player's game. The [[Pokémon Global Link]] has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as {{v2|Platinum}} is to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The games can connect as with games of the same generation, and they operate on the same {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station}} server. Pokémon from [[Generation IV]] games (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver) can be transferred to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

However, they are not entirely compatible with Pokémon Black and White as the updated Black 2 and White 2 [[Entralink]] no longer features the ability to travel into another player's "world" and thus Pass Powers are instead earned through minigames that take place in the hubworld. Likewise, a player in Black or White cannot connect with a Black 2 or White 2 via the Entralink system.

The soundtrack contains all of the background music used in Pokémon Black and White (the basis for a portion of the music in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2), composed by [[Shota Kageyama]], [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Hitomi Satō]], [[Gō Ichinose]], [[Morikazu Aoki]], Minako Adachi, and [[Satoshi Nohara]]. The music is arranged by Shota Kageyama, Hitomi Satō, Gō Ichinose, and Minako Adachi.

{{main|Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music from the games (on Discs 1-3, with the exception of the music played within [[Hidden Grotto]]es), composed by [[Hitomi Satō]], [[Gō Ichinose]], [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Shota Kageyama]], Teruo Taniguchi, [[Satoshi Nohara]], Minako Adachi, and [[Morikazu Aoki]]. The music is arranged by Hitomi Satō and Gō Ichinose, except for less than a tenth of the tracks, which are mostly short sound effects. Notably, Disc 4 of the soundtrack also provides an official release for several tracks exclusive to {{game|Emerald}} and {{game|Platinum}}.

==DSi features==
Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 are DSi-enhanced games, meaning that they have certain features which are only enabled when played on a system in the [[Nintendo DSi]] or [[Nintendo 3DS]] family. These features are as follows.

* These games can recognize and connect to {{wp|Router (computing)|router}}s with {{wp|Wi-Fi Protected Access|WPA}} connections.
* The camera can be used during [[Xtransceiver]] communications with other players.
* The [[C-Gear]] shows the system power using three bars in a battery icon rather than two.
* On the home screen of the handheld console, the [[Poké Ball]] on the game's icon will wiggle.

==Pre-order bonuses==
Players who pre-ordered the games from GameStop received a "Preview Guide" which hints at the new features and storyline, as well as explaining the {{Trading Card Game}}. It also includes parts of the animated trailer in a comic book-style format. The guide was released online in the UK.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 a score of 36 out of 40, which is lower than [[Pokémon Black and White Versions#Reception|its perfectly-scoring predecessors]].

According to Famitsu and Yahoo Japan, the game sold 1,618,621 copies during its first weekend on sale, making it the third best selling DS game of all time.<ref>http://www.famitsu.com/news/201206/26016963.html</ref><ref>http://dailynews.yahoo.co.jp/fc/entertainment/nintendo_ds/?1340702028</ref> In the fiscal year of their release, they sold 7.81 million units.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2013/130424e.pdf Consolidated Results for the Years Ended March 31, 2012 and 2013]</ref>

IGN rated this game an "Amazing" 9.6/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/04/pokemon-white-version-2-review</ref> and called it more "than just a slightly expanded repackaging of the latest generation's core titles (a la Pokémon Yellow, Emerald or Platinum)" and that it features a "stunning amount of fresh content" over {{game|Black and White|s}} which received a 9/10 from the site.<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/03/05/pokemon-white-review</ref>

==Trivia==
* Other than games with a simultaneous worldwide release, the localization period for these games was the shortest worldwide of the [[core series]], having lasted about three and a half months for the majority of the translated versions, with 106 days for North America, 110 for Australia, 111 for Europe and 138 for South Korea.
* These are the only core series Pokémon games to officially be a direct sequel to a pair of games from the same generation.
** These are also the only core series games with a number in their title. {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were initially advertised to be direct, numbered sequels to [[Generation I]], originally dubbed "Pocket Monsters 2", but this was later changed.
* These are the only games to have anything after the word "Version" in their titles.
** These are also the last core series Pokémon games with "Version" in their names.
* These are the only core series games in which the player's [[hometown]] is a city rather than a town.
* These are the only paired versions to have {{p|Kyurem|the same Pokémon}} on both versions, with the only difference being its [[Form differences#Kyurem|form]].
* These are the only core series games in which the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is inaccessible before entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
* These are the only core series games in which the [[version mascot]] cannot be obtained without [[trade|trading]] before entering the Hall of Fame.
** Also, these are the first core series games in which a Legendary Pokémon cannot be caught during the first battle against it.
* [[Koga]] is the only current or former Gym Leader who is not presented in these games.
* The majority of moves with changed animations have a [[Power|base power]] of 100 or higher.
* These are the first Pokémon games with a specific point at which the player is forced to save their game in the main story before entering the Hall of Fame. In this case, the player must save after creating their first movie at [[Pokéstar Studios]].
* Black 2 and White 2 were the final core series games released for the [[Nintendo DS]] system and its redesigned models, the [[Nintendo DS Lite]], the [[Nintendo DSi]] and the [[Nintendo DSi XL]].
* While the opening sequence is mostly the same in both games, there are a few differences. Black 2 has Black Kyurem's black silhouette on a dark screen with fog, while White 2 has White Kyurem's white silhouette on a bright screen with fog, after which the yellow crest on Kyurem's head glows and the game's respective logo appears. Later, during the part before {{p|Zekrom}}, there is blue light in the upper left corner in Black 2 and red light in the lower right corner in White 2.
* According to [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]] and [[Junichi Masuda]], Black 2 and White 2 were created as paired games—instead of the usual single follow-up game—because the development team had a [[Key System|game mechanic]] for which they needed two games.<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/ds/pokemon-black2-white2/0/0 Iwata Asks]</ref>

'''Nuvema Town''' (Japanese: '''カノコタウン''' ''Kanoko Town'') is situated in the southeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Like [[Pallet Town]], [[New Bark Town]], [[Littleroot Town]], [[Twinleaf Town]], [[Aspertia City]] and [[Vaniville Town]], Nuvema Town is where the journey begins for the {{player}}. It is where the protagonists of the [[Generation V]] games {{game|Black and White|s}}, the {{player}}, [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]], start their journeys, as well as being their hometown. However, it's a normal location in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], games in which it has been replaced by Aspertia City.

[[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory is located here. The town features the same windmills that appear in [[New Bark Town]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as a view of the ocean. {{p|Pidove}} and {{p|Woobat}} can be seen flying around town during the day and night, respectively.

After [[Alder]] has been defeated, [[Bianca]] will be available to battle the player on weekends. In Black 2 and White 2, she can also be battled with the [[Memory Link]].

==Places of interest==
===Player's house===
The player's house lies in the middle of Nuvema Town and is where the player lives before beginning their journey. The [[Mom|player's mother]] lives here. The player, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] get their [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]] here at the start of their journeys, and promptly challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. There are two stories in the house, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second story is the [[Bedroom|player's bedroom]]. It contains a [[Wii]] controlled with a Wii Remote, connected to a television, and a [[PC]], although this PC only includes information on "Pokémon Basics". [[Looker]] meets the player here and gives a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s mother mistakes {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} for her own child, before realizing that they were actually the player. She continues to heal the player's Pokémon as in Black and White, commenting on how she may want to go on a journey to find her child; however, she worries that they would return while she was gone. She does not refer her child by his/her name, unless Memory Link has been established. The PC in the Hilbert/Hilda's room looks as if it has not been used in a long time.

===Bianca's house===
[[Bianca]]'s house is located in the southwest of Nuvema Town. Bianca's house is home to her mother and father. Upstairs is Bianca's room which contains a bookshelf lined with Pokémon picture books, a shelf and two cabinets filled with goods, two plants and a desk. Her bed has pink covers and is on a turquoise rug. A window is on the back wall, with a desk in the bottom-right corner.

In Black and White, when the player first visits her house, her father is shouting at her for going on her journey but she goes on her journey anyway.

In Black 2 and White 2, her mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

===Cheren's house===
[[Cheren]]'s house is located in the southeast of Nuvema Town. Cheren's house is home to his mother and father. Cheren's room has five shelves of books, a widescreen TV, a PC with information on how to play the game, a maroon rug in front of the television, and a bed with brown covers in the bottom-right. A sliding window is located above the staircase.

In Black 2 and White 2, his mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

The PC states:
:''"Adventure Rule No. 1''
:''"The X Button opens the menu!''
:''"Adventure Rule No. 2''
:''"Record your progress with SAVE.''
:''"There is nothing else on here..."''

===Professor Juniper's lab===
[[File:Prof Juniper Lab anime.png|thumb|230px|right|Professor Juniper's lab in the anime]]
[[Professor Juniper]]'s lab lies in the northwest of Nuvema Town; when the player first starts their journey [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]] are waiting for the player outside. When the trio go inside Professor Juniper is waiting for them. She lets the player [[nickname]] their Pokémon before giving the player a [[Pokédex]]. When spoken to, Professor Juniper asks to see the player's Pokédex and count the number of Pokémon seen in Unova Pokédex; she will give three prizes based on the total number of Pokémon encountered. [[Cedric Juniper]] can be found here after the player has entered the Hall of Fame. He provides a count of Pokémon caught against the [[National Pokédex]]. After the tutorial on how to catch Pokémon, the {{p|Patrat}} Professor Juniper caught can be seen wandering around the lab.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Watchog}} are seen instead in the lab.

==Demographics==
The population of Nuvema Town is 10 (excluding the {{player}}, [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]]).

'''Nuvema Town''' (Japanese: '''カノコタウン''' ''Kanoko Town'') is situated in the southeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Like [[Pallet Town]], [[New Bark Town]], [[Littleroot Town]], [[Twinleaf Town]], [[Aspertia City]] and [[Vaniville Town]], Nuvema Town is where the journey begins for the {{player}}. It is where the protagonists of the [[Generation V]] games {{game|Black and White|s}}, the {{player}}, [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]], start their journeys, as well as being their hometown. However, it's a normal location in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], games in which it has been replaced by Aspertia City.

[[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory is located here. The town features the same windmills that appear in [[New Bark Town]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as a view of the ocean. {{p|Pidove}} and {{p|Woobat}} can be seen flying around town during the day and night, respectively.

After [[Alder]] has been defeated, [[Bianca]] will be available to battle the player on weekends. In Black 2 and White 2, she can also be battled with the [[Memory Link]].

==Places of interest==
===Player's house===
The player's house lies in the middle of Nuvema Town and is where the player lives before beginning their journey. The [[Mom|player's mother]] lives here. The player, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] get their [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]] here at the start of their journeys, and promptly challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. There are two stories in the house, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second story is the [[Bedroom|player's bedroom]]. It contains a [[Wii]] controlled with a Wii Remote, connected to a television, and a [[PC]], although this PC only includes information on "Pokémon Basics". [[Looker]] meets the player here and gives a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s mother mistakes {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} for her own child, before realizing that they were actually the player. She continues to heal the player's Pokémon as in Black and White, commenting on how she may want to go on a journey to find her child; however, she worries that they would return while she was gone. She does not refer her child by his/her name, unless Memory Link has been established. The PC in the Hilbert/Hilda's room looks as if it has not been used in a long time.

===Bianca's house===
[[Bianca]]'s house is located in the southwest of Nuvema Town. Bianca's house is home to her mother and father. Upstairs is Bianca's room which contains a bookshelf lined with Pokémon picture books, a shelf and two cabinets filled with goods, two plants and a desk. Her bed has pink covers and is on a turquoise rug. A window is on the back wall, with a desk in the bottom-right corner.

In Black and White, when the player first visits her house, her father is shouting at her for going on her journey but she goes on her journey anyway.

In Black 2 and White 2, her mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

===Cheren's house===
[[Cheren]]'s house is located in the southeast of Nuvema Town. Cheren's house is home to his mother and father. Cheren's room has five shelves of books, a widescreen TV, a PC with information on how to play the game, a maroon rug in front of the television, and a bed with brown covers in the bottom-right. A sliding window is located above the staircase.

In Black 2 and White 2, his mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

The PC states:
:''"Adventure Rule No. 1''
:''"The X Button opens the menu!''
:''"Adventure Rule No. 2''
:''"Record your progress with SAVE.''
:''"There is nothing else on here..."''

===Professor Juniper's lab===
[[File:Prof Juniper Lab anime.png|thumb|230px|right|Professor Juniper's lab in the anime]]
[[Professor Juniper]]'s lab lies in the northwest of Nuvema Town; when the player first starts their journey [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]] are waiting for the player outside. When the trio go inside Professor Juniper is waiting for them. She lets the player [[nickname]] their Pokémon before giving the player a [[Pokédex]]. When spoken to, Professor Juniper asks to see the player's Pokédex and count the number of Pokémon seen in Unova Pokédex; she will give three prizes based on the total number of Pokémon encountered. [[Cedric Juniper]] can be found here after the player has entered the Hall of Fame. He provides a count of Pokémon caught against the [[National Pokédex]]. After the tutorial on how to catch Pokémon, the {{p|Patrat}} Professor Juniper caught can be seen wandering around the lab.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Watchog}} are seen instead in the lab.

==Demographics==
The population of Nuvema Town is 10 (excluding the {{player}}, [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]]).

'''Nuvema Town''' (Japanese: '''カノコタウン''' ''Kanoko Town'') is situated in the southeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. Like [[Pallet Town]], [[New Bark Town]], [[Littleroot Town]], [[Twinleaf Town]], [[Aspertia City]] and [[Vaniville Town]], Nuvema Town is where the journey begins for the {{player}}. It is where the protagonists of the [[Generation V]] games {{game|Black and White|s}}, the {{player}}, [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]], start their journeys, as well as being their hometown. However, it's a normal location in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], games in which it has been replaced by Aspertia City.

[[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory is located here. The town features the same windmills that appear in [[New Bark Town]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as well as a view of the ocean. {{p|Pidove}} and {{p|Woobat}} can be seen flying around town during the day and night, respectively.

After [[Alder]] has been defeated, [[Bianca]] will be available to battle the player on weekends. In Black 2 and White 2, she can also be battled with the [[Memory Link]].

==Places of interest==
===Player's house===
The player's house lies in the middle of Nuvema Town and is where the player lives before beginning their journey. The [[Mom|player's mother]] lives here. The player, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] get their [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]] here at the start of their journeys, and promptly challenge the player to a {{pkmn|battle}}. There are two stories in the house, the first being a living room and kitchen area, while upstairs on the second story is the [[Bedroom|player's bedroom]]. It contains a [[Wii]] controlled with a Wii Remote, connected to a television, and a [[PC]], although this PC only includes information on "Pokémon Basics". [[Looker]] meets the player here and gives a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} after entering the [[Hall of Fame]] for the first time.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s mother mistakes {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} for her own child, before realizing that they were actually the player. She continues to heal the player's Pokémon as in Black and White, commenting on how she may want to go on a journey to find her child; however, she worries that they would return while she was gone. She does not refer her child by his/her name, unless Memory Link has been established. The PC in the Hilbert/Hilda's room looks as if it has not been used in a long time.

===Bianca's house===
[[Bianca]]'s house is located in the southwest of Nuvema Town. Bianca's house is home to her mother and father. Upstairs is Bianca's room which contains a bookshelf lined with Pokémon picture books, a shelf and two cabinets filled with goods, two plants and a desk. Her bed has pink covers and is on a turquoise rug. A window is on the back wall, with a desk in the bottom-right corner.

In Black and White, when the player first visits her house, her father is shouting at her for going on her journey but she goes on her journey anyway.

In Black 2 and White 2, her mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

===Cheren's house===
[[Cheren]]'s house is located in the southeast of Nuvema Town. Cheren's house is home to his mother and father. Cheren's room has five shelves of books, a widescreen TV, a PC with information on how to play the game, a maroon rug in front of the television, and a bed with brown covers in the bottom-right. A sliding window is located above the staircase.

In Black 2 and White 2, his mom and dad continue to reside in their house.

The PC states:
:''"Adventure Rule No. 1''
:''"The X Button opens the menu!''
:''"Adventure Rule No. 2''
:''"Record your progress with SAVE.''
:''"There is nothing else on here..."''

===Professor Juniper's lab===
[[File:Prof Juniper Lab anime.png|thumb|230px|right|Professor Juniper's lab in the anime]]
[[Professor Juniper]]'s lab lies in the northwest of Nuvema Town; when the player first starts their journey [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]] are waiting for the player outside. When the trio go inside Professor Juniper is waiting for them. She lets the player [[nickname]] their Pokémon before giving the player a [[Pokédex]]. When spoken to, Professor Juniper asks to see the player's Pokédex and count the number of Pokémon seen in Unova Pokédex; she will give three prizes based on the total number of Pokémon encountered. [[Cedric Juniper]] can be found here after the player has entered the Hall of Fame. He provides a count of Pokémon caught against the [[National Pokédex]]. After the tutorial on how to catch Pokémon, the {{p|Patrat}} Professor Juniper caught can be seen wandering around the lab.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, {{p|Cinccino}} and {{p|Watchog}} are seen instead in the lab.

==Demographics==
The population of Nuvema Town is 10 (excluding the {{player}}, [[Bianca]] and [[Cheren]]).

'''Pokémon Blue Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター{{tt|青|あお}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Blue'') is the third [[core series]] [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for [[Game Boy]], released in Japan on October 15, 1996 exclusively to subscribers of {{wp|CoroCoro Comic}}<ref name="TPC">[http://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/other/gb-blue/ ポケットモンスター青 | ポケットモンスターオフィシャルサイト]</ref><ref name="NoJ">[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/n02/dmg/apej/ ポケットモンスター青]</ref> and on October 10, 1999 to general {{wp|retail}}<ref name="TPC" /><ref name="NoJ" /> as a minor revision of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]] (Japanese: ポケットモンスター{{tt|赤|あか}}・{{tt|緑|みどり}} ''Pocket Monsters: Red & Green''), which were released earlier that year. It was thus the first [[core series|solitary version]] in the core series Pokémon games.

Various fixes in the game include a graphics and sound upgrade, as well as the removal of several known glitches that had been found in the original pair. Like its paired predecessors, it was never ''truly'' released outside of Japan; however, while Red and Green provided the [[wild Pokémon]] and [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] lists for the rest of the world's {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Blue provided the graphics, game engine, and script for translation.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Much as would become standard for solitary versions, {{player}}s follow the plot of the previous two games. Like in Red and Green, the player starts in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Kanto|Kanto region]], receiving a [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Professor Oak]]. As before, the choices are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, and the {{ga|Blue|rival}} chooses the starter that is super-effective against the player's starter.

Once more, the eight [[Gym Leaders]] of Kanto are [[Brock]], [[Misty]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Erika]], [[Koga]], [[Sabrina]], [[Blaine]], and [[Giovanni]], while the [[Elite Four]] are [[Lorelei]], [[Bruno]], [[Agatha]], and [[Lance]], with {{ga|Blue|the rival}} still in the {{pkmn|Champion}}'s place.

Again, the evil [[Team Rocket]] is causing chaos across the region, and it is up to the player to defeat them.

==Changes from Red and Green==
* [[Kanto]] is aesthetically redesigned, with the design of doors, signposts and other tilesets redesigned. [[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, receives the most significant overhaul, sporting a completely different layout. These designs would later be reused for the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. [[Indigo Plateau]] remains unaltered.
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Rocket Game Corner|Game Corner]] prizes are different.
* The introduction of the game features a battle between a [[Gengar (Pokémon)|Gengar]] and a [[Jigglypuff (Pokémon)|Jigglypuff]], as opposed to a [[Gengar (Pokémon)|Gengar]] and a [[Nidorino (Pokémon)|Nidorino]], as it was in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This change carried on into the localized version of Pokémon Blue, while the original appeared in the localized Pokémon Red.
* Some Pokémon only available through in-game trades in ''Red and Green'' are now found in the wild.
* [[Missingno.]] was given the placeholder Pokédex entry コメントさくせいちゅう ''Comment to be written.'' and became the ??? species. This was not translated, resulting in a glitched Pokédex entry in the localized {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the corruption of Missingno.'s original height and weight (1.0 m (3.3 ft) and 10.0 kg (22.1 lb), respectively), showing instead a height of 10.0 ft (3.1 m) and a weight of 3507.2 lb (1590.8 kg).<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/missing-number/ Missing Number]</ref>

==Features==
===Gyms===
Much as in Red and Green, there are eight Pokémon Gyms in Kanto, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Brock]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Misty]] ({{t|Water}}), [[Lt. Surge]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Erika]] ({{t|Grass}}), [[Koga]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Sabrina]] ({{t|Psychic}}), [[Blaine]] ({{t|Fire}}), and [[Giovanni]] ({{t|Ground}}).

===Elite Four===
The Elite Four at [[Indigo Plateau]] also remains unchanged, with [[Lorelei]] ({{t|Ice}}), [[Bruno]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Agatha]] ({{t|Ghost}}), and [[Lance]] ({{t|Dragon}}). The {{pkmn|Champion}} is {{ga|Blue}}, who has no type specialization.

===Pokémon===
Blue did not introduce any new Pokémon, and so the 151 present in Red and Green are the only ones obtainable. Like Red and Green, some Pokémon are missing from Blue and must be traded from another game to complete the Pokédex or evolved from less powerful forms.

==[[Version-exclusive Pokémon|Missing Pokémon]]==
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Pokémon Blue. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the paired versions of [[Generation I]], or [[Generation II]], which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

==Development==
{{main|Pokémon Red and Green beta}}

An error made during development causes the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} depicted during [[Professor Oak]]'s introductory lecture to be a {{p|Nidorino}} but with the [[cry]] of a {{p|Nidorina}}. This was already the case in the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and it was not fixed in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD}}
The soundtrack release for {{game|Red and Green|s}} also applies to Pokémon Blue.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Blue (JP)}}

==Trivia==
* Because the script for Pokémon Blue, rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}, was used for the translation of the Japanese trio into {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, translation errors were made for two of the [[List of in-game trades|in-game trades]].
** The old man who trades the {{player}} an {{p|Electrode}} on [[Cinnabar Island]] claims that the {{p|Raichu}} he received "went and [[Evolution|evolved]]". As Raichu does not have an evolved form, this makes no sense whatsoever. In the context of Pokémon Blue, it makes sense as the player trades away a {{p|Kadabra}}, which evolves through trade, for a {{p|Graveler}}.
** The old man that trades the player a {{p|Jynx}} in [[Cerulean City]] claims that the {{p|Poliwhirl}} he received "went and evolved". While Poliwhirl does evolve, it does not evolve by [[trade]] {{p|Politoed|in Generation I}} but rather through the use of a {{evostone|Water Stone}}. In the context of Pokémon Blue, the old man trades away a {{p|Haunter}} for a {{p|Machoke}}, which does evolve through trade.

The Sackinator: /* 2F */

==Victory Road==
Fly back to the {{un|Pokémon League}} and head down the mountainside to investigate the dream that [[Hugh]]'s sister had. Go down the stairway south of the two Veterans to find a {{p|Zoroark}}, the same one from your first visit to the area. It leads you back to the cave it had been guarding, and once inside, runs off down a tall stairway that connects to a ruined building.

==N's Castle==
[[File:Ns Castle Rising BW.png|thumb|N's Castle exterior{{sup/5|BW}}]]

[[N's Castle]] is the former base of [[Team Plasma]] that suddenly appeared two years ago. It was built in secret in the lands surrounding the {{un|Pokémon League}}, but fell into disrepair after the great battle, and eventually collapsed back into the ground.

===1F===
Upon entering the ruined castle, you find [[N]] waiting at the bottom of the stairway. He asks that you lead him to the deepest chamber, a place that holds a special meaning to him. Only here will he face you in battle.

North of the entrance is [[N]]'s old room. He tells you the sad tale of his childhood, then leaves the room in silence. Grab the {{ball|Luxury}} before following him.

A fallen column blocks the walkway, so climb down the rubble to the lower level. Pick up the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} to the west before heading east. Before heading upstairs, be sure to grab {{TM|50|Overheat}} to the southeast.

===2F===
Go west until you reach the large crack in the floor, where N stops you. He says simply, ''"This is our destination... Go inside."''

Enter the throne room and head north, where he catches up to you. He tells you about losing to a certain Trainer two years ago, and having to accept new ideas. He wants to know if you are a Trainer whose heart is strong enough to do that. He summons his friend {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} to his side, and asks if you are ready to battle. Despite having only one Pokémon, it can put up a serious fight. Defensively, you may want to use a high-level {{type|Ground}} Pokémon against Zekrom, or a high-level {{type|Rock}} Pokémon against Reshiram. Offensively, {{t|Ground}} moves like {{m|Earthquake}} and {{t|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} will be a big help.

After N says his goodbyes, his dragon is transformed into its dormant state, the {{key|V|Dark Stone}}{{sup/5|B2}} / {{key|V|Light Stone}}{{sup/5|W2}}. He instructs you to take the stone to [[Dragonspiral Tower]]. Exit the castle to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Victory Road]], then fly to [[Opelucid City]].

===Season battles===
Once you catch his dragon, N appears near {{ci|Nimbasa}}'s Ferris Wheel every Friday. After riding with him and catching {{p|Kyurem}} in the [[Giant Chasm]], he returns to his castle for a {{DL|N's Castle|Season battles|once-per-month rematch}} with a team that changes with the seasons.

==Opelucid City==
While you are here, you can visit with [[Drayden]] in his home. He can teach the strongest Dragon attack, {{m|Draco Meteor}}, to any of your {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon as long as they share a strong bond with you. Head west through {{rt|9|Unova}} to reach [[Tubeline Bridge]].

==Tubeline Bridge==
[[File:Tubeline Bridge BW.png|thumb|Tubeline Bridge]]

[[Tubeline Bridge]] is a steel bridge that connects {{rt|9|Unova}} to {{rt|8|Unova}}. It is so sturdy that subway trains running beneath it will not cause it to budge an inch. A recent study reveals that it can support up to 4,934 people at once!

===So Loud!===
The woman on the east end of the bridge is very frustrated about all the loud noises. The noise level will increase every time you talk to her, from 70 decibels, to 80, 100, and finally 120 decibels. Talk to her when you are traveling with a Pokémon that has the {{a|Soundproof}} Ability, and she will notice something interesting about her surroundings. 

===Charge Ahead===
Talk to the Battle Girl near the middle of the bridge. She was trying to outrun the trains, but got overheated. She gives you {{TM|43|Flame Charge}}, a low-power move that raises Speed, before running off again.

==Route 8==
[[File:Unova Route 8 Winter BW.png|thumb|Route 8]]

{{rt|8|Unova}} is covered with marshes and water. Constant rain means that the route is always mucky, except in winter when the puddles mostly freeze over. To the north is the [[Moor of Icirrus]], and to the south, [[Icirrus City]].

[[File:Moor of Icirrus Autumn BW.png|thumb|left|Moor of Icirrus]]
===Moor of Icirrus===
The [[Moor of Icirrus]] is a large marsh that formed when water collected on the uneven ground. The area was once destroyed by an intense wildfire, and the Pokémon Rangers monitor the area to prevent the same from happening again. Fully exploring the area requires the use of {{m|Strength}} to move the boulder on the west side.

Go west from the entrance to find a hidden {{DL|Valuable item|TinyMushroom}} in the line of trees. To the north, an old man tells you about the marsh's history and the fire that once raged here. Move the boulder into place to reach the southwest lake; defeat Pokémon Ranger Elaine to get a [[Lum Berry]], and continue south to find {{TM|84|Poison Jab}}. Further north, a hidden {{DL|Valuable item|Big Mushroom}} and a {{DL|Shard|Green Shard}} lie on opposite sides of Fisherman Arnold. Head to the northeast area for a {{DL|Exchangeable item|Heart Scale}}, then jump the ledge. A hidden {{evostone|Dawn Stone}} and a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} can be found in the middle of the southeast lake. South of that, Pokémon Ranger Parker gives up another [[Lum Berry]], and a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}} sits nearby.

Return to {{rt|8|Unova}} and head southwest to reach [[Icirrus City]].

==Icirrus City==
[[File:Icirrus City {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: n}} mod 4}}|0=Winter|1=Spring|2=Summer|3=Autumn}} BW.png|thumb|Icirrus City]]

[[Icirrus City]]'s wetlands occupy the area to the south, while the buildings are situated on higher, stable ground. The Pokémon Fan Club is located here, and you can win prizes for answering Aha's quizzes. [[Brycen]], who served as the local Gym Leader two years ago, now works as an actor at [[PokéStar Studios]].

===Pokémon Fan Club===
Talk to the chairman and show him a well-trained Pokémon to get an item. Depending on the number of levels it gained since meeting you, he will hand over up to three different items. A Pokémon that has grown 25-49 levels will earn you an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}; 50-98 levels will get you a {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Cleanse Tag}}; and a Pokémon that's grown 99 levels will earn you a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}.

The girl in the Fan Club will offer to check your Pokémon's mood. Choose a Pokémon to show her, and she will tell you how [[Friendship|friendly]] it is toward you.

===Aha's Pep Quiz===
The home of Aha, Wye, and Ditoh is east of the former Gym. The mother, Wye, pulls you into the game the moment you step inside. The father, Aha, will ask you a question, while Wye gives hints to the answer. A correct answer will earn you an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}}, while an incorrect one will get you a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}} instead. You can take the quiz once per day.

===The Shadows Reappear===
Head east from the Pokémon Center and cross the bridge. When you reach the end of the path, the [[Shadow Triad]] suddenly appears. The Triad challenges you to three individual battles; a Single Battle, a Triple Battle, then a Rotation Battle. They also give you a chance to quit between battles. When the battles end, the Triad disappears without a word; however, they will reappear for a rematch once every season.

===Dragonspiral Tower===
[[File:Dragonspiral Tower BW.png|thumb|right|Dragonspiral Tower]]

[[Dragonspiral Tower]] is said to be the oldest structure in the [[Unova]] region. No one knows its history, but it is said to have a deep connection with the legendary dragons {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}}.

====1F====
The first floor is pretty straightforward. Just follow the path to the stairs.

====2F====
The second floor is littered with broken columns; these act as a bridge if you don't have a Pokémon with {{m|Strength}}. There's an {{DL|Ether|Elixr}} under a column to the northeast, and an {{ball|Ultra}} on a broken column to the west. Don't miss the {{DL|Shard|Red Shard}} hiding in the rubble!

====3F====
The third floor is covered with one-way ramps. Jump to the south, then take the middle ramp west then north to reach a {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}. Grab the {{DL|Vitamin|Protein}} in the northeast before taking the southernmost ramp west to the winding staircase.

====4F====
Another straightforward floor. Climb the several stairways to reach the north side. To the east, a trio of items lie neatly in a row. These are the {{DL|Timespace orbs|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}}s, which boost the powers of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. The legendary titans do not appear in [[Unova]], but can still be found through [[Pokémon Transfer|other]] [[Pokémon Dream Radar|means]].

====5F====
The fifth floor is made up of four large circular paths around the central column. Head to the right to find a {{DL|Vitamin|PP Max}} on the outer ring, then go left to reach {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}} on the second ring from the center. Walk around the column to get a {{DL|Revive|Max Revive}}, then go left to reach the stairs.

====6F====
Another simple floor. Follow the path to find a {{DL|Valuable item|Comet Shard}}, which can be sold to the Ore Collector in Icirrus for a whopping {{pdollar}}60,000! Continue on to the stairs in the southwest.

====7F====
Head on up through the narrow path, and the room begins to shake. Suddenly, the {{key|V|Dark Stone}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{key|V|Light Stone}}{{sup/5|W2}} begins to tremble inside your Bag. The stone floats in the air for a moment, slowly absorbing the aura from its surroundings before reawakening as {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. In a show of force, it sends out a shock wave of crackling electricity{{sup/5|B2}}/blazing fire{{sup/5|W2}} as it descends to the ground.

First, exploit its weaknesses to quickly drop its health. Both dragons are vulnerable to {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type|Ground}} attacks; in addition, Zekrom fears {{t|Ice}} moves and Reshiram fears {{t|Rock}} moves. Next, wear it down gradually with {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{t|Electric}} moves. If you happen to defeat it, it will reappear once you defeat the Elite Four and Champion again.

After the battle, [[N]] appears and tells you to go to the [[Giant Chasm]]. According to his friend, {{p|Kyurem}} has returned! Once he leaves, be sure to track down that hidden {{DL|Valuable item|Comet Shard}}. It is possible to {{m|Fly}} out of here, so take off for [[Lacunosa Town]] again and head east.

==Giant Chasm==
The Crater Forest has mostly recovered from the [[Plasma Frigate]]'s impact, except for the sandy depression in the center. Enter the cave to the northeast and head to the back chamber to find {{p|Kyurem}} waiting for you. Save the game before starting the battle, as it will be much tougher to catch than the previous dragon. {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Rock}}, and {{t|Steel}} attacks will reduce its health the fastest, then weaken it further with {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Electric}} moves.

}}
|}

When the battle is over, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] enter the cave. Cheren is impressed at the sight of {{p|Kyurem}}, while Bianca suggests showing your [[Pokédex]] to [[Professor Juniper]]. They run off, giving you the chance to grab the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} that Kyurem dropped. When used, these let you fuse Kyurem with either Zekrom or Reshiram to create {{DL|Form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}} or {{DL|Form differences|White Kyurem}}, respectively. The new Pokémon draws its level and other details from Kyurem. The next time you use the PC, you will receive some new Kyurem-themed wallpapers.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}

'''Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Pikachu''), often known as '''Pokémon Yellow Version''', is the third Pokémon game for [[Game Boy]] released worldwide, as a [[core series|solitary version]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. In Japan, the game was the fourth Pokémon game released, as a second solitary version of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pocket Monsters Red & Green}}.

Similar to Red and Blue, Yellow arrived towards the end of the Game Boy's lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of second best-selling non-bundled game for its console, losing only to its predecessors.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, {{player}}s are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player journeys from [[Pallet Town]] to go through an all-new experience—with no {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{t|Water}} types to fall back on until each member of the [[Kanto]] starter trio is given to the player later on in [[Cerulean City]], {{rt|24|Kanto}}, and [[Vermilion City]], respectively.

Much like before, players journey across Kanto from their hometown, Pallet Town, defeating the eight [[Gym Leader]]s ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].

[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Beyond these changes, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as of the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}.

==Blurb==
You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer's license]], and now you're on your way to becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} [[walking Pokémon|tags along]] behind {{Player|you}} as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!

==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The front Pokémon sprites have all been updated to resemble how they appear in their then-current [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork usually used in promotional images and strategy guides for the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}, and the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}, as well as some of them resembling how they appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}. However, the back sprites are the same as the previous games.
* Some {{pkmn|Trainer}} sprites were also redone. {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} now better resemble their stock artwork for [[Generation I]], as the Pokémon sprites do. [[Brock]] wears an outfit like his {{an|Brock|anime counterpart}}'s and [[Misty]]'s bikini was changed to a shirt and shorts similar to those worn by {{an|Misty|hers}}, albeit without suspenders.
* [[Kanto]] is slightly redesigned a second time, featuring different designs for doors, signposts, windows, and other minor elements. The biggest overhaul was performed on [[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, where the layout was once more changed. [[Indigo Plateau]] remains unaltered.

===Location changes===
Obtaining the starters from the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as from the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}} is possible through in-game events:
* A girl in [[Cerulean City]] will give the {{player}} a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s [[friendship]] is high.
* A [[Damian|boy]] at the north of {{rt|24|Kanto}} gives the player a {{p|Charmander}}.
* An [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Vermilion City]] will give the player a {{p|Squirtle}} after the {{Badge|Thunder}} has been acquired.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[Starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can have and [[Walking Pokémon|travels with the player]] on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the previous three [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.
** Furthermore, no other wild Pikachu can be found, thus requiring the player to trade a Pikachu from another [[Generation I]] game or [[Generation II]] game to obtain another one. A traded Pikachu will also not behave like the starter Pikachu, acting as a regular Pokémon instead (even to the point of being able to evolve with a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}), unless it matches the [[Original Trainer]] and [[Trainer ID number]] of the player.
*** Another Pikachu with the same Original Trainer and Trainer ID number as that of the player can be obtained by cheating. However, it will only behave like the starter Pikachu if the original one is released. Furthermore, if one of the new Pikachu is released, the Pikachu behaving like the starter will have a disappointment face for a limited period of time.
** The [[cry]] of the starter Pikachu, or any Pikachu with the same OT and Trainer ID number of the player for that matter, is changed to "''Pika!''" when going in battle, "''Chaaaaa!''" if it faints, or "''Pikachu!''" on the status screen, instead of the original {{p|Pikachu}} cry.
** The rival will eventually [[Evolution|evolve]] his Eevee (and thus affect which are the other members of his party) depending on the player's actions early in the game:
*** If the player beats the rival at both the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory]] and the early optional battle at {{rt|22|Kanto}}, Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}.
*** If the player loses one of these two battles or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}}.
*** If the player loses at Oak's Lab, and loses or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}.
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Level]]-up learnsets and [[TM]] compatibility are altered slightly for certain Pokémon. {{p|Charizard}}, for example, can now learn {{m|Fly}} via [[HM02]].
* A minimal [[friendship]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player and Pikachu will refuse to evolve. This would later be revamped in [[Generation II]], where the system is vastly improved and applies to all Pokémon.
* [[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** [[Brock]]'s Pokémon have had their levels decreased by 2.
** [[Misty]]'s Pokémon have not been changed.
** [[Lt. Surge]]'s only Pokémon is a level 28 Raichu.
** [[Erika]] now has a level 30 Tangela, and level 32 Weepinbell and Gloom.
** [[Koga]] now has three Venonat, levels 44, 46, and 48, as well as a level 50 Venomoth.
** [[Sabrina]] now has a team composed of {{p|Abra}} and its evolution line, all at level 50.
** [[Blaine]] has a level 48 Ninetales, a level 50 Rapidash, and a level 54 Arcanine.
** [[Giovanni]] has a level 50 Dugtrio, a level 53 Persian, a level 53 Nidoqueen, a level 55 Nidoking, and a level 55 Rhydon.
* Enhanced compatibility with the {{nw|Game Boy Color}} is present outside of Japan, providing color palette changes as the player switches locations, whereas the Japanese version is similar to the previous [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games in where it only has [[Super Game Boy]] support. The ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]] was also implemented in every regional release.
** The Super Game Boy palettes used for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} sprites are also lighter.
* Several [[glitch]]es were disabled, and all [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered because the data which was read incorrectly to create them had changed.
* A {{m|Surf}}ing Pikachu minigame, [[Pikachu's Beach]], is included. However, to play this the player will have to first teach {{p|Pikachu}} {{m|Surf}}, which requires the use of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.
* The location and availability of some [[Wild Pokémon]] allows the player to experience the game in a manner similar to the anime.
** In the anime, {{Ash}} catches a {{p|Caterpie}} and a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. This is reflected in-game as Caterpie (but not {{p|Weedle}}) and Pidgeotto are both available in Viridian Forest for the player to catch. This is the only instance in [[Generation I]] where a Pidgeotto can be caught at a level earlier than {{p|Pidgey}} would evolve into it.
** The Pokémon that [[Team Rocket]] use ({{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Meowth}} and their evolutions) are not available to be caught in the wild. It would be unlikely that Ash would catch these Pokémon in the anime as they are the primary antagonists.
** Wild Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} are not available, as Pikachu is the player's starter Pokémon (furthermore, it is unlikely that Ash would catch another Pikachu or a Raichu).

===Storyline changes===
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme, and typically appear before the {{player}} battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage as well as two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s: one close to the exit of [[Mt. Moon]] and the other one near the entrance to the President's room at [[Silph Co.]] Curiously, they are never referred to by their individual names and share their [[Pokémon Trainer#Trainer class|Trainer class]] with any other Team Rocket Grunt, possibly due to [[Double Battle]]s not being implemented until much later in [[Generation III]].

===Pokémon unobtainable in Yellow===
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the previous [[Generation I]] games, or from the [[Generation II]] games, which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the {{game|Red and Green|s|Japanese Green}}, and thus in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Blue}} as well. "'''{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}'''" indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}.

==Connectivity==
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Link Cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2.

===Colosseum 2===
In Colosseum 2, players can select from several battle modes:
* [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50)
* [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6'8" (2 m), and weights less than 44.1 lbs (20 kg) only)
* [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon's Levels cannot exceed 155; {{p|Mew}} is not allowed).
These three cups would later become standard cups in the international {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

In addition, in the Japanese version, {{m|Blizzard}}'s chance to {{status|freeze}} in Colosseum 2 is changed to 10% rather than the usual 30%. Blizzard's chance to freeze is always 10% in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] and the international releases of the Generation I games.

==Differences from the anime==
The game is loosely based on the original anime series, but has several differences:
* [[Brock]] does not surrender during the [[Pewter Gym]] battle and does not accompany the {{player}} thereafter.
* [[Misty]] is first encountered in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, she had left the Gym when {{Ash}} met her.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} are acquired from tasks. In the anime, Charmander is rescued from heavy rain, Squirtle merely follows Ash, and Bulbasaur was caught.
* {{TR|Meowth}} can use {{m|Pay Day}} and does not speak in the game.
* Bulbasaur and Squirtle are able to evolve in the game.

==English title==
[[File:Pokemon Yellow Version.jpg|thumb|200px|An American version game cartridge of Yellow]]
While the game's title has become widely accepted as simply ''Pokémon Yellow'', its officially recognized name outside of Japan is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' replaces the series' then-current slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]'' below the Pokémon logo, while ''Yellow Version'' is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' is repeated on the box's opening and spine.

==Soundtrack==

The soundtrack for {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}} also applies to Pokémon Yellow.

==Trivia==
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which reimplemented the [[walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in Yellow, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after Yellow was released in Japan.
* The two available starter Pokémon of this game, {{p|Pikachu}} ({{ga|Red|player}}) and {{p|Eevee}} ({{ga|Blue|rival}}), are the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation V]] to evolve with a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.
* Out of all the [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games, this is the only one where {{p|Lickitung}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}} can be caught in the wild; in the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}, these Pokémon are only available by means of an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]].
* It is the only localized game prior to [[Generation III]] to lack the [[Gotta catch 'em all!|slogan]] below the Pokémon logo.
* This is the only core series game influenced heavily by the anime.
* Yellow is the only core series game in which the player cannot choose their own starter Pokémon, and which is not {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}.
**It is also the only game in which all three of the region's starters can be obtained without having to trade with other games.
* Pikachu had its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart for this game. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Yellow}}

'''Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターピカチュウ''' ''Pocket Monsters: Pikachu''), often known as '''Pokémon Yellow Version''', is the third Pokémon game for [[Game Boy]] released worldwide, as a [[core series|solitary version]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]]. In Japan, the game was the fourth Pokémon game released, as a second solitary version of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pocket Monsters Red & Green}}.

Similar to Red and Blue, Yellow arrived towards the end of the Game Boy's lifespan. It managed, though, to receive the title of second best-selling non-bundled game for its console, losing only to its predecessors.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
Unlike other games, Yellow was inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, and thus, instead of having a choice between {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, {{player}}s are forced to start off with a {{p|Pikachu}} that [[Professor Oak]] caught on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. With the {{ga|Blue|rival}} beginning with an {{p|Eevee}}, the player journeys from [[Pallet Town]] to go through an all-new experience—with no {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, or {{t|Water}} types to fall back on until each member of the [[Kanto]] starter trio is given to the player later on in [[Cerulean City]], {{rt|24|Kanto}}, and [[Vermilion City]], respectively.

Much like before, players journey across Kanto from their hometown, Pallet Town, defeating the eight [[Gym Leader]]s ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]] do not join the player, unlike in the anime) and eventually the [[Elite Four]].

[[Team Rocket]] battles feature yet another special, anime-based surprise, as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up, along with their Pokémon, {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}}, {{TP|James|Koffing}}, and {{MTR}}. Beyond these changes, the plot of Yellow is very similar to that of the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as of the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}.

==Blurb==
You've finally been granted your [[Pokémon Trainer's license]], and now you're on your way to becoming the world's greatest Pokémon Trainer! The shockingly-cute {{p|Pikachu}} [[walking Pokémon|tags along]] behind {{Player|you}} as you search the enormous world for monsters to train and evolve. Face off against {{p|Blastoise}}'s torrential water cannons. Stand strong when facing {{p|Pidgeot}}'s stormy {{m|Gust}}. Develop the ultimate Pokémon strategy to defeat the eight [[Gym Leader]]s and become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]] of all time!

==Changes from Red, Green, and Blue==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The front Pokémon sprites have all been updated to resemble how they appear in their then-current [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork usually used in promotional images and strategy guides for the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}}, {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}, and the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}, as well as some of them resembling how they appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}. However, the back sprites are the same as the previous games.
* Some {{pkmn|Trainer}} sprites were also redone. {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} now better resemble their stock artwork for [[Generation I]], as the Pokémon sprites do. [[Brock]] wears an outfit like his {{an|Brock|anime counterpart}}'s and [[Misty]]'s bikini was changed to a shirt and shorts similar to those worn by {{an|Misty|hers}}, albeit without suspenders.
* [[Kanto]] is slightly redesigned a second time, featuring different designs for doors, signposts, windows, and other minor elements. The biggest overhaul was performed on [[Cerulean Cave]], the game's final dungeon, where the layout was once more changed. [[Indigo Plateau]] remains unaltered.

===Location changes===
Obtaining the starters from the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as from the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}} is possible through in-game events:
* A girl in [[Cerulean City]] will give the {{player}} a {{p|Bulbasaur}} if the [[Starter Pokémon|starter]] {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}'s [[friendship]] is high.
* A [[Damian|boy]] at the north of {{rt|24|Kanto}} gives the player a {{p|Charmander}}.
* An [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Vermilion City]] will give the player a {{p|Squirtle}} after the {{Badge|Thunder}} has been acquired.

===Gameplay changes===
* {{p|Pikachu}} is the only [[Starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can have and [[Walking Pokémon|travels with the player]] on-screen, outside of a [[Poké Ball]] like {{OP|Ash|Pikachu}}. The {{ga|Blue|rival}} starts with {{p|Eevee}}, and the previous three [[Kanto]] starters can be obtained later in the game.
** Furthermore, no other wild Pikachu can be found, thus requiring the player to trade a Pikachu from another [[Generation I]] game or [[Generation II]] game to obtain another one. A traded Pikachu will also not behave like the starter Pikachu, acting as a regular Pokémon instead (even to the point of being able to evolve with a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}), unless it matches the [[Original Trainer]] and [[Trainer ID number]] of the player.
*** Another Pikachu with the same Original Trainer and Trainer ID number as that of the player can be obtained by cheating. However, it will only behave like the starter Pikachu if the original one is released. Furthermore, if one of the new Pikachu is released, the Pikachu behaving like the starter will have a disappointment face for a limited period of time.
** The [[cry]] of the starter Pikachu, or any Pikachu with the same OT and Trainer ID number of the player for that matter, is changed to "''Pika!''" when going in battle, "''Chaaaaa!''" if it faints, or "''Pikachu!''" on the status screen, instead of the original {{p|Pikachu}} cry.
** The rival will eventually [[Evolution|evolve]] his Eevee (and thus affect which are the other members of his party) depending on the player's actions early in the game:
*** If the player beats the rival at both the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Oak Pokémon Research Laboratory]] and the early optional battle at {{rt|22|Kanto}}, Eevee evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}.
*** If the player loses one of these two battles or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Flareon}}.
*** If the player loses at Oak's Lab, and loses or passes up the Route 22 battle, Eevee evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}.
* [[List of in-game trades|In-game trades]] are changed to different Pokémon.
* [[Level]]-up learnsets and [[TM]] compatibility are altered slightly for certain Pokémon. {{p|Charizard}}, for example, can now learn {{m|Fly}} via [[HM02]].
* A minimal [[friendship]] system is implemented to track how Pikachu feels about the player and Pikachu will refuse to evolve. This would later be revamped in [[Generation II]], where the system is vastly improved and applies to all Pokémon.
* [[Gym Leader]]s have different teams, some based on those that appear in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** [[Brock]]'s Pokémon have had their levels decreased by 2.
** [[Misty]]'s Pokémon have not been changed.
** [[Lt. Surge]]'s only Pokémon is a level 28 Raichu.
** [[Erika]] now has a level 30 Tangela, and level 32 Weepinbell and Gloom.
** [[Koga]] now has three Venonat, levels 44, 46, and 48, as well as a level 50 Venomoth.
** [[Sabrina]] now has a team composed of {{p|Abra}} and its evolution line, all at level 50.
** [[Blaine]] has a level 48 Ninetales, a level 50 Rapidash, and a level 54 Arcanine.
** [[Giovanni]] has a level 50 Dugtrio, a level 53 Persian, a level 53 Nidoqueen, a level 55 Nidoking, and a level 55 Rhydon.
* Enhanced compatibility with the {{nw|Game Boy Color}} is present outside of Japan, providing color palette changes as the player switches locations, whereas the Japanese version is similar to the previous [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games in where it only has [[Super Game Boy]] support. The ability to print out Pokédex entries using the [[Game Boy Printer]] was also implemented in every regional release.
** The Super Game Boy palettes used for the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} sprites are also lighter.
* Several [[glitch]]es were disabled, and all [[glitch Pokémon]] were altered because the data which was read incorrectly to create them had changed.
* A {{m|Surf}}ing Pikachu minigame, [[Pikachu's Beach]], is included. However, to play this the player will have to first teach {{p|Pikachu}} {{m|Surf}}, which requires the use of {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.
* The location and availability of some [[Wild Pokémon]] allows the player to experience the game in a manner similar to the anime.
** In the anime, {{Ash}} catches a {{p|Caterpie}} and a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. This is reflected in-game as Caterpie (but not {{p|Weedle}}) and Pidgeotto are both available in Viridian Forest for the player to catch. This is the only instance in [[Generation I]] where a Pidgeotto can be caught at a level earlier than {{p|Pidgey}} would evolve into it.
** The Pokémon that [[Team Rocket]] use ({{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Meowth}} and their evolutions) are not available to be caught in the wild. It would be unlikely that Ash would catch these Pokémon in the anime as they are the primary antagonists.
** Wild Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} are not available, as Pikachu is the player's starter Pokémon (furthermore, it is unlikely that Ash would catch another Pikachu or a Raichu).

===Storyline changes===
* [[Jessie]] and [[James]] appear and are involved in [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme, and typically appear before the {{player}} battles [[Giovanni]]. They also replace the three Team Rocket members in the [[Pokémon Tower]] that hold [[Mr. Fuji]] hostage as well as two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s: one close to the exit of [[Mt. Moon]] and the other one near the entrance to the President's room at [[Silph Co.]] Curiously, they are never referred to by their individual names and share their [[Pokémon Trainer#Trainer class|Trainer class]] with any other Team Rocket Grunt, possibly due to [[Double Battle]]s not being implemented until much later in [[Generation III]].

===Pokémon unobtainable in Yellow===
The following Pokémon are not obtainable in Yellow. In order to obtain any of the below Pokémon, they must be traded from one of the previous [[Generation I]] games, or from the [[Generation II]] games, which has that Pokémon available, which will be indicated.

Note that "'''{{color|{{green color}}|G}}'''" indicates a Pokémon that can be caught in the {{game|Red and Green|s|Japanese Green}}, and thus in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Blue}} as well. "'''{{color|{{blue color}}|B}}'''" indicates a Pokémon obtainable in the {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}}.

==Connectivity==
As well as reprising the ability to allow players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges via a [[Game Link Cable]], Yellow also debuted a new link battle mode, Colosseum 2.

===Colosseum 2===
In Colosseum 2, players can select from several battle modes:
* [[Pika Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 15 to 20 only; their combined level limit is 50)
* [[Petit Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 15 to 20, heights under 6'8" (2 m), and weights less than 44.1 lbs (20 kg) only)
* [[Poké Cup]] (for Pokémon between [[Level]]s 50 to 55 only, and the sum of all entered Pokémon's Levels cannot exceed 155; {{p|Mew}} is not allowed).
These three cups would later become standard cups in the international {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}.

In addition, in the Japanese version, {{m|Blizzard}}'s chance to {{status|freeze}} in Colosseum 2 is changed to 10% rather than the usual 30%. Blizzard's chance to freeze is always 10% in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] and the international releases of the Generation I games.

==Differences from the anime==
The game is loosely based on the original anime series, but has several differences:
* [[Brock]] does not surrender during the [[Pewter Gym]] battle and does not accompany the {{player}} thereafter.
* [[Misty]] is first encountered in the [[Cerulean Gym]]. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, she had left the Gym when {{Ash}} met her.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} are acquired from tasks. In the anime, Charmander is rescued from heavy rain, Squirtle merely follows Ash, and Bulbasaur was caught.
* {{TR|Meowth}} can use {{m|Pay Day}} and does not speak in the game.
* Bulbasaur and Squirtle are able to evolve in the game.

==English title==
[[File:Pokemon Yellow Version.jpg|thumb|200px|An American version game cartridge of Yellow]]
While the game's title has become widely accepted as simply ''Pokémon Yellow'', its officially recognized name outside of Japan is not entirely certain. On the boxart for most English versions, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' replaces the series' then-current slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]'' below the Pokémon logo, while ''Yellow Version'' is at the bottom, near where Red and Blue had theirs. However, the expression ''Special Pikachu Edition'' is repeated on the box's opening and spine.

==Reception==
Like {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, Yellow was also well received by the press.

==Soundtrack==
{{main|Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD}}
The soundtrack for {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|Red and Blue|s}} also applies to Pokémon Yellow. However, Yellow added three tracks that are absent from the official soundtrack, which precedes the release of Yellow by ten months. These additional tracks were also composed by [[Junichi Masuda]].

==Trivia==
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which reimplemented the [[walking Pokémon]] mechanic that was introduced in Yellow, were released in Japan exactly 11 years after Yellow was released in Japan.
* The two available starter Pokémon of this game, {{p|Pikachu}} ({{ga|Red|player}}) and {{p|Eevee}} ({{ga|Blue|rival}}), are the only Pokémon introduced prior to [[Generation V]] to evolve with a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.
* Out of all the [[core series]] [[Generation I]] games, this is the only one where {{p|Lickitung}} and {{p|Farfetch'd}} can be caught in the wild; in the Japanese {{2v2|Red|Green}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)|Japanese Blue}} as well as in the {{game|Red and Blue|s|international Red and Blue}}, these Pokémon are only available by means of an [[List of in-game trades|in-game trade]].
* It is the only localized game prior to [[Generation III]] to lack the [[Gotta catch 'em all!|slogan]] below the Pokémon logo.
* This is the only core series game influenced heavily by the anime.
* Yellow is the only core series game in which the player cannot choose their own starter Pokémon, and which is not {{t|Grass}}-, {{t|Fire}}-, or {{type|Water}}.
**Prior to [[X and Y]], it was also the only game in which all three of the region's starters can be obtained without having to trade with other games.
* Pikachu had its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart for this game. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.

Pokémon controversies

2015-01-31T00:57:14Z

The Sackinator: Undo revision 2243835 by LDEJRuff (talk) It does kind of look that way, but James's hand is bent higher in the original.

There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding [[Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

<gallery>
File:AG013 original shot.png|Original Japanese version
File:AG013 dub shot.png|Dubbed English version
</gallery>

====In the games====
[[File:Spr 4d 379.png|thumb|left|International DP Registeel]]
[[File:Spr 4p 379.png|thumb|right|European DP/Worldwide PtHGSS Registeel]]
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with its both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.
{{-}}
===Satanism===
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized and possibly incomplete list of their reasons for this accusation:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.
*Magical talismans (supposedly a reference to [[Badge|Gym Badges]]) are needed to control them.
*Pokémon [[evolution|evolve]]. Though this transformation is more akin to metamorphosis in most Pokémon, the theory of evolution is denied entirely by the most fundamentalist creationists, who believe that all things as they are presently were divinely inspired.
**Some Pokémon evolution even requires the use of certain magical [[evolutionary stone|stones]].
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s. Those with Psychic powers are labeled as having been given these powers by {{wp|Satan}} in the {{wp|Bible}} itself.
*Many Pokémon embody or practice East Asian spiritual or mystical concepts, being that the franchise originated in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.
*Some claim that if one were to {{wp|backmasking|play backwards}} the [[Pokérap]], "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" can be heard as "I love you, Satan".

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

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

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise, claiming it encourages gambling and promotes {{wp|Zionism}}. High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."

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

===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|left|x200px|The original design of Jynx]]
[[File:124Jynx.png|thumb|200px|Jynx's current design]]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}}, which had recently appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, and this change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

===Gambling===
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the {{tc|PI|Gambler}} Trainer class to '''Gamer''' and altered their dialogue to remove references to gambling. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}''' instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

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

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

All [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} feature no Game Corner at all. Furthermore, this is referenced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which shows that the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''Hoopa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーパ''' ''Hoopa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}} [[Legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences|second form]] activated by using the {{DL|List of key items in Generation VI|Prison Bottle}}, which has not been officially revealed. Its default form, '''Hoopa Confined''', will then become '''Hoopa Unbound'''. Hoopa Unbound will revert into Hoopa Confined if three days have passed after using the Prison Bottle or if it is deposited in the [[PC]].

It was officially revealed in the February 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on January 10, 2015.

==Biology==
Hoopa Confined is a light purple Pokémon with several pink markings. There is a v-shaped marking on its chest and bands around its wrists. Additionally, there are pink markings around its head and a growth on top resembling hair tied into a ponytail. There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple markings at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its body waist. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. The uppermost pair of arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space.

There is a yellow, ring marking in the center of its forehead, and it has green eyes with yellow sclera. On either side of its head is a dark gray horn that curves slightly upward. Hoopa has three gold rings: one large one around its lower body and one hanging freely on each of its horns. Its arms are not attached to its body and float next to it. Each arm has a small golden spike on one end and a hand similar to a mitten on the other. There is a golden spike on each shoulder, which is similar to those on its arms. Hoopa's lower body consists only of a wispy structure similar to its ponytail.

Hoopa Unbound has a similar color scheme to Hoopa Confined, although the main color is now a light blue and its markings are slightly darker. This form is bipedal and has six arms. The ponytail on its head is larger and bushier, and its eyes are now yellow with white sclera. Its horns are darker and less curved with spiky, purple markings at the base. This form has a pointed, dark gray snout and a mouth full of pointed teeth. Several tufts of purple fur surround its body waist. Each of its arms is disconnected from the body and has a gold ring on one end and a three-fingered hand on the other. The uppermost pair of arms has a ring around each wrist as well. Many other rings are present on this form: there are two around each ankle, two around the base of its ponytail, two at the base of each horn, one near the center of each horn, one around its waist, and one encircles a black hole in the middle of its body. The circular mark on its forehead also surrounds a much smaller black hole. A purple stripe extends down each leg, widens at the knee, and makes a circle around the tip of the foot. Additionally, this form has a tail with a purple stripe along the top and arrow-shaped tip.

Hoopa has the power to transport things using teleportation, which warps space.

History of the Pokémon world

2015-01-17T17:04:30Z

The Sackinator: Actually, all that was unnecessary. [And is the last sentence correct? I'm almost done with Gen. V myself, so I wouldn't know.]

{{fan speculation}}
{{incomplete|2=ORAS stuff, more info on Delta Episode}}
Below is a timeline of events in the '''history of the Pokémon world''', primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]] since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events for the anime series]] as well as [[Timeline of events in Pokémon Adventures|one for Pokémon Adventures]].

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is not entirely clear if legends are true or not, but there are many hints in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Please note that the below timeline is based on speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus then creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}} respectively. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia then succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]] and retreat into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at the ancient [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.

* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".

* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]].

*Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|200px|The Legendary Golems: Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]

* Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the regions, and created the three golems- {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} out of clay, ice, and magma, respectively.

* The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}s before falling into a deep slumber.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil]]s and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

'''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] existed at this time. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. The first humans also appeared around this time.

* 300 million years ago: An ancient version of {{p|Genesect}} was born. {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} lived in the sea.
**Team Plasma later used its DNA to create an infinitely stronger version of {{p|Genesect}} with cybernetic technology.

** {{ga|Red}} leaves [[Pallet Town]] on his Pokémon journey after his rival, [[Professor Oak]]'s grandson, {{ga|Blue}}. After getting the eight [[Badge]]s of [[Kanto]], and defeating [[Team Rocket]] along the way, he then challenges Kanto's [[Elite Four]], then its current Champion, none other than Blue himself. After defeating Blue, Red becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Network Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region.
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon Professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]]. At first, there is a deep-seated rivalry with [[Professor Birch]]'s daughter/son, however, later on, the rivalry is with {{ga|Wally}} instead. After defeating Hoenn's eight [[Gym Leader]]s and, with the help of {{p|Rayquaza}}, calming both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}, released from their banishment by [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]], respectively, he/she challenges and defeats Hoenn's Elite Four and current Champion, becoming the Champion him/herself, much to the astonishment of Birch's child.

A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact Giovanni, their former leader. They are defeated, and the new leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After defeating the Elite Four and their Champion, Lance, Ethan/Kris/Lyra then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight Gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their Badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, where he/she meets and challenges {{ga|Red}}.

** {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} along with their friends [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] receive their very first Pokémon in the bedroom of {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s house in [[Nuvema Town]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. The three decide to leave Nuvema Town and go on a journey across their region of [[Unova]], with Cheren wanting to learn as much about every kind of Pokémon possible and Bianca going against the wishes of her dad. Upon arriving in [[Accumula Town]] they encounter the nefarious [[Team Plasma]] who announce their plans for Pokémon liberation to separate Pokémon from humans. Hilbert/Hilda then battle Team Plasma's leader, a mysterious man known only as [[N]] who claims Pokémon are his friends. Hilbert/Hilda make a journey across the land of Unova challenging all eight Gyms and earning all eight Badges. After earning the eighth Badge, they travel to the {{un|Pokémon League}} where they defeat the Elite Four. Upon defeating the Elite Four, they discover that N has already defeated the champion [[Alder]] and promptly summons his castle, destroying the Pokémon League Castle. [[Ghetsis]], one of the members of the [[Seven Sages]] reveals that he had the plan to separate people and Pokémon so that he could be the only person in the whole world with Pokémon. After defeating N and Ghetsis with {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} N becomes sorry for all his wrongdoing and flies off to distant lands on his dragon of legend. Hilbert/Hilda, Cheren, and Bianca continue their journey in Unova and get recruited by an undercover officer codenamed [[Looker]] to discover and arrest the remaining six of the Seven Sages. After the arrest of all six, Hilbert/Hilda returns to the Pokémon League, re-defeats the Elite Four, then challenges and defeats Alder, becoming champion of Unova.

'''Between {{2v2|Black|White}}, {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}''':

* Five of the Seven Sages leave Team Plasma, and Ghetsis and [[Zinzolin]] form a new Team Plasma solely dedicated to conquering Unova.
* A landslide seals off {{rt|10|Unova}} and a majority of {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, forcing another {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} to be built. Another landslide seals off [[Challenger's Cave]].
* Significant construction occurs in Unova:
** The [[Cold Storage]] in the south of [[Driftveil City]] is replaced by the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** A section of the mountain near [[Undella Town]] is constructed into a new town called [[Lentimas Town]]
** {{tc|The Riches}} house in Undella Town is demolished, with new villas built in the town.

* {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} moves to [[Vaniville Town]] in [[Kalos]] with their mother.

'''Two years after {{2v2|Black|White}}''':
* The events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}:
** {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's Purrloin from Team Plasma, the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After earning their seventh badge from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, Ghetsis. Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn Reshiram/Zekrom back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to turn Kyurem into [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black/White Kyurem]]. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two Dragon Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the Pokémon League. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend Victory Road, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new Champion, Iris. After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it.
**{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leave his/her home in [[Vaniville Town]] meeting [[Shauna]] and {{tt|{{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}|The player character not chosen.}} who invite them to join them for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. {{ga|Calem}}, {{ga|Serena}} and [[Shauna]] receive their first Pokémon from [[Tierno]] and a Pokédex from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to his/her {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across [[Kalos]] challenging eight Gyms in order to earn eight Badges to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Along their journey they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[fossils]] from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the Pokéballs from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, first being on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena are contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals himself to be the leader of Team Flare and his intention to use the "ultimate weapon" to eliminate all life in the world. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre first in [[Lysandre Labs]] and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon omits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where he/she defeats the [[Elite Four]], becoming [[Champion]] of [[Kalos]]. After becoming Champion Looker contacts {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} to help him fight crime in Lumiose City.

History of the Pokémon world

2015-01-17T17:00:17Z

The Sackinator: Removed unnecessary [but funny] content, etc.

{{fan speculation}}
{{incomplete|2=ORAS stuff, more info on Delta Episode}}
Below is a timeline of events in the '''history of the Pokémon world''', primarily those established in the [[canon]] of the [[Pokémon games]] since these apply most to other forms of canon. There is also a separate [[Timeline of events in the anime|timeline of events for the anime series]] as well as [[Timeline of events in Pokémon Adventures|one for Pokémon Adventures]].

There are many stories and legends surrounding the history of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is not entirely clear if legends are true or not, but there are many hints in the games, anime and manga that suggest that they are.

Please note that the below timeline is based on speculation and possible information from different aspects of the Pokémon franchise.

==Timeline==
===Beginning of the {{pkmn|universe}}===
This information is based primarily on [[Sinnoh myths|the mythology]] of both the [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]] regions.
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|290px|Palkia, Giratina and Dialga]]
* In a vortex of complete chaos and nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} comes into being, which then hatches into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon in existence. Arceus then creates {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}, giving them power over {{wp|time}}, {{wp|space}}, and {{wp|antimatter}} respectively. Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, is sent by Arceus to live in the [[Distortion World]]. Dialga and Palkia then succeed in creating the universe and [[Pokémon world]] and retreat into their own [[dimensions]] afterwards, with a point of access being at the ancient [[Spear Pillar]] in Sinnoh.

* Arceus creates {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, giving knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that come into existence in the Pokémon world. The three dive into caves at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] in Sinnoh, giving them the name "[[lake guardians]]".

* {{p|Kyogre}} is formed by the pressure in the deep sea trenches, {{p|Groudon}} is formed deep inside the Earth, likely from hardened magma and earth, and {{p|Rayquaza}} is formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. Rayquaza proceeds to fly around in the ozone layer, occasionally coming to rest at [[Sky Pillar]].

*Kyogre and Groudon then proceed to fill the sea and create land, respectively. A chance meeting turns the two into rivals, and a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon world begins. This battle continues until Rayquaza quells it, causing Kyogre and Groudon to retreat to special caverns, where they {{m|rest}} until the events of [[Generation III]] many years later. The {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb|Red}} and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}s are created to prevent the reawakening of Kyogre and Groudon, and are left at [[Mt. Pyre]] for safekeeping. At this time, {{p|Mew}} may have been plentiful and lived in large numbers.
[[File:Regis.png|thumb|200px|The Legendary Golems: Regice, Registeel and Regirock]]

* Landmasses such as [[Mt. Coronet]] are created, and {{p|Regigigas}} moves the continents, forming the regions, and created the three golems- {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} out of clay, ice, and magma, respectively.

* The [[Sinnoh]] region is created around Mt. Coronet. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] is created due to shifts in the crust of the world and {{p|Heatran}} is formed in a pool of lava. Arceus creates the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Adamant Orb|Adamant}}, {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Lustrous Orb|Lustrous}}, and {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}s before falling into a deep slumber.

===Prehistory===
This information is based primarily on the study of [[Fossil]]s and other archaeological remains. Some of this information is also based on scientific research.

'''Millions of years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known [[Fossil|prehistoric Pokémon]] existed at this time. It is possible that the Mew population may have decreased at this stage, as they slowly gave way to other Pokémon species. The first humans also appeared around this time.

* 300 million years ago: An ancient version of {{p|Genesect}} was born. {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}} lived in the sea.
**Team Plasma later used its DNA to create an infinitely stronger version of {{p|Genesect}} with cybernetic technology.

* 100 million years ago: Species such as {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Lileep}}, {{p|Cranidos}}, {{p|Shieldon}}, {{p|Tirtouga}}, and {{p|Archen}} were supposedly widespread. They all ultimately went extinct, but not before Archen gave rise to bird Pokémon and Tirtouga gave rise to turtle Pokémon.
** A [[Root Fossil|fossil]] is found millions of years later in Hoenn and revived scientifically by the [[Devon Corporation]].

* 10,000 years ago: During the last Ice Age, the {{p|Mamoswine}} population flourished, then decreased when the Ice Age ended.

* At some point in the distant past, the {{p|Magikarp}} population mutates due to unknown reasons and becomes weaker.

* At some point after the Iron Age, Regigigas is sealed away in the Snowpoint Temple, and Regirock, Regice and Registeel are sealed away at various points across the [[Hoenn]] region after years of human worship.

'''3000 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Valuable item#Undella Town|Relic items]] are created.

'''3000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* (''Timeline pre-Generation VI'') [[Mega Evolution]] was not widely discovered and may not have even been possible.
* (''Timeline post Generation VI'') The Kalos war occurred, the ultimate weapon was created underneath [[Geosenge Town]], and AZ was given eternal life. This sets a chain of events into motion that leads to the widespread discovery of [[Mega Evolution]].

'''2500 years before [[Generation V]]:'''

* The [[Relic Castle]] is built.

'''1500 years before [[Generation I]]:'''

* The earliest known system for writing is developed and used at the [[Ruins of Alph]], [[Tanoby Ruins]], and [[Solaceon Ruins]].
Archaeologists are currently unsure whether the nearly identical {{p|Unown}} preceded or succeeded the writing system, but it is assumed they share some sort of connection.

* The {{p|Farfetch'd}} population decreases due to overhunting.

'''1000 years before [[Generation VI]]:'''

* {{p|Xerneas}} went to sleep in the form of a tree.

After defeating Blue, Red becomes the {{pkmn|Champion}}, then ventures to the [[Sevii Islands]] to eradicate Team Rocket and help [[Celio]] to connect his [[Pokémon Network Center]] to the [[Hoenn]] region.
** {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}} leaves [[Littleroot Town]] on a Pokémon journey shortly after moving to the Hoenn region from [[Johto]] by saving the local [[Pokémon Professor]] from an attacking [[wild Pokémon]].

A revived Team Rocket, using plans formulated three years prior, enrages many {{p|Gyarados}}, including a [[Red Gyarados|red one]], at the [[Lake of Rage]] as they proceed to take over the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in a desperate attempt to contact Giovanni, their former leader. They are defeated, and the new leader vows to never again re-form Team Rocket, and Ethan/Kris/Lyra continues to gather Johto's Badges, eventually gaining all eight and traveling to the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] in Kanto. After defeating the Elite Four and their Champion, Lance, Ethan/Kris/Lyra then heads to the Kanto region to challenge its eight Gyms, which have changed from three years prior. After gaining all eight of their Badges, for a total of sixteen, [[Professor Oak]] declares him/her ready to travel to Mt. Silver, where he/she meets and challenges {{ga|Red}}.

'''Between [[Generation II]]/{{Gen|IV}} and [[Generation V]]:'''
* The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the Machine Part in Kanto returns to [[Unova]], intending to reform Team Rocket there despite its second defeat, as he [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|previously stated]]. He later falls in love and has a son, moving to [[Icirrus City]].

** {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}} along with their friends [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] receive their very first Pokémon in the bedroom of {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}'s house in [[Nuvema Town]] from [[Professor Juniper]]. The three decide to leave Nuvema Town and go on a journey across their region of [[Unova]], with Cheren wanting to learn as much about every kind of Pokémon possible and Bianca going against the wishes of her dad. Upon arriving in [[Accumula Town]] they encounter the nefarious [[Team Plasma]] who announce their plans for Pokémon liberation to separate Pokémon from humans. Hilbert/Hilda then battle Team Plasma's leader, a mysterious man known only as [[N]] who claims Pokémon are his friends. Hilbert/Hilda make a journey across the land of Unova challenging all eight Gyms and earning all eight Badges. After earning the eighth Badge, they travel to the {{un|Pokémon League}} where they defeat the Elite Four. Upon defeating the Elite Four, they discover that N has already defeated the champion [[Alder]] and promptly summons his castle, destroying the Pokémon League Castle. [[Ghetsis]], one of the members of the [[Seven Sages]] reveals that he had the plan to separate people and Pokémon so that he could be the only person in the whole world with Pokémon. After defeating N and Ghetsis with {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} N becomes sorry for all his wrongdoing and flies off to distant lands on his dragon of legend. Hilbert/Hilda, Cheren, and Bianca continue their journey in Unova and get recruited by an undercover officer codenamed [[Looker]] to discover and arrest the remaining six of the Seven Sages. After the arrest of all six, Hilbert/Hilda returns to the Pokémon League, re-defeats the Elite Four, then challenges and defeats Alder, becoming champion of Unova.

'''Between {{2v2|Black|White}}, {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}''':
* Hilbert/Hilda leaves Unova with his/her Dragon to look for N.
* Bianca officially becomes Professor Juniper's assistant.
* [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Lenora]], and [[Brycen]] retire as Gym Leaders to train.
* Cheren, [[Roxie]], and [[Marlon]] become Gym Leaders.
* Alder retires as the Champion, and [[Iris]] takes his place.
* Five of the Seven Sages leave Team Plasma, and Ghetsis and [[Zinzolin]] form a new Team Plasma solely dedicated to conquering Unova.
* A landslide seals off {{rt|10|Unova}} and a majority of {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, forcing another {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} to be built. Another landslide seals off [[Challenger's Cave]].
* Significant construction occurs in Unova:
** The [[Cold Storage]] in the south of [[Driftveil City]] is replaced by the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
** A section of the mountain near [[Undella Town]] is constructed into a new town called [[Lentimas Town]]
** {{tc|The Riches}} house in Undella Town is demolished, with new villas built in the town.
** The [[Marine Tube]] is built between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]], connecting the two.
** The [[Castelia Sewers]] are made accessible on Thumb Pier, which lead to Castelia's park, or when flooded, to Castelia's back alley.
* {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} moves to [[Vaniville Town]] in [[Kalos]] with their mother.

'''Two years after {{2v2|Black|White}}''':
* The events of {{2v2|Black|White|2}} and {{pkmn|X and Y}}:
** {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives his/her first Pokémon from Bianca in his/her hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's Purrloin from Team Plasma, the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After earning their seventh badge from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the {{key|V|DNA Splicers}} from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, Ghetsis. Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving him/her. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn Reshiram/Zekrom back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to turn Kyurem into [[Form differences#Kyurem|Black/White Kyurem]]. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two Dragon Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the Pokémon League. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend Victory Road, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new Champion, Iris. After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads him/her to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it.
**{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leave his/her home in [[Vaniville Town]] meeting [[Shauna]] and {{tt|{{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}}|The player character not chosen.}} who invite them to join them for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. {{ga|Calem}}, {{ga|Serena}} and [[Shauna]] receive their first Pokémon from [[Tierno]] and a Pokédex from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to his/her {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across [[Kalos]] challenging eight Gyms in order to earn eight Badges to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Along their journey they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[fossils]] from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the Pokéballs from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, first being on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena are contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals himself to be the leader of Team Flare and his intention to use the "ultimate weapon" to eliminate all life in the world. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre first in [[Lysandre Labs]] and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon omits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where he/she defeats the [[Elite Four]], becoming [[Champion]] of [[Kalos]]. After becoming Champion Looker contacts {{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} to help him fight crime in Lumiose City.

== how can I upload images? ==

How can I upload images? [[User:Velvetstar|Velvetstar]] 19:06 17, January 2014 (UTC)
:You can upload images [[:a:Special:Upload|here]], but make sure you read [[:a:Archives:Image_use_policy|the rules]] before you upload anything. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:35, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you! Here, contact me at acousticdreamer@yahoo.com [[User:Velvetstar|Velvetstar]] 22:24 17 January 2014 (UTC)

== Learnset table ==

For this {{DL|Gust_(move)|Learnset}} table, I changed the footer to be the same color as the header, but on this other {{DL|Sand_Attack_(move)|Learnset}} table, both are two different colors. Should the Learnset table's header and footer be the same color? — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 03:50, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
:If it's always been the same type. Gust and Sand Attack used to be Normal type moves, so the learnset tables use both Ground and Normal-type colors. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 21:44, 26 January 2014 (UTC)
::Ok, thanks. — [[User:Reshi643|Reshi]][[User talk:Reshi643|643]] 21:46, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

== Noting Clemont's eye color ==

On [[Iris]], there's no note for anime!{{an|Iris}}'s eyes; same between Misty's articles, despite having four different colors on her main page. Since his anime page notes his eyes in that incarnation are blue, I don't feel it's necessary to note it on his main page. For that same reason, I also didn't add Limone in his relatives' list, like is done on [[Brock]] and [[Misty]]. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 22:30, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

== Teensy question... ==

...Do you have any idea why (some, if not most of) Bulbapedia's images are going wonky? Or is it just me? Seeing floating black error messages all over is weirding me out, lol. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 06:52, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

:I realized reading that that it didn't answer your question. The Archives just need a hardware upgrade. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 06:58, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
::Haha, alright thanks. I shall wait patiently for a fix. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 07:00, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
Bonus Question! If you're auto-confirmed here, will your account also be auto-confirmed on the Archives? I ask because earlier today, I attempted to upload a better Shauntal sprite, but apparently I can't unless I'm not auto-confirmed. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 07:23, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:Nope. The only thing that carries over to the other Bulbawiki sites would be your account. Not your user rights. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 07:31, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
::So then what else would one do on the Archives, other than upload images? Forgive me if this is a stupid question; I'm prone to asking them. :) --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 07:40, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:::Hmmmm, I'd say fixing templates, image summaries, and categories would be a good place to start. To a lesser degree, welcoming new users.

::::Alright then, thanks for the help. Speaking of welcoming users, when I see a new account is created, can I drop that generic Bulbapedia welcome template, or is that something only administrators can do? I promise it's the final question for tonight, hehe. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 08:22, 2 February 2014 (UTC)
:::::Anyone can welcome new users. But while it's not a requirement, we do have a preference that experienced users welcome new ones, because chances are that new users will go to whoever welcomed them for guidance and advice, and if the person that welcomed them literally does nothing ''but'' welcome users they won't really know how to answer their questions. See what I mean? So we'd like it if people knew their way around the site first.

== Anime characters ==

Hello! As I was perusing Bulbapedia articles the other day, I noticed that several anime characters (such as [[Foster]] or [[Georgio]]) did not have a character box. Is this because they are minor characters? Or, if they ''do'' need boxes, could I add some? Thanks in advance. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 00:51, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
:Characters of the day, aka one-time characters don't get infoboxes usually. Typically there's no info that could be added to them. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:02, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
::Cool beans. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 05:23, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
Bonus question, 'cause I have far too many of them: after reading plenty of articles here, I've noticed that they seem to follow a protocol of not repeat-linking a page? I'm not sure about this, but I was wondering if this is so. I've found plenty of inconsistencies, if my hypothesis is correct, and therefore was excited at the prospect of finding an editing niche. --[[User:FireGambit|'''F'''ire'''G'''ambit]] ([[User talk:FireGambit|talk]]) 05:42, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

== Template ==

Hello Jo! How goes it? Greetings aside, I was wondering if I could borrow your egg-archive-template-thing-a-ma-bob (sorry, I had to do it). I'll credit you as its creator, if you'd like. Thanks in advance. --[[User:FireGambit|'''FireGambit''']] ([[User talk:FireGambit|'''talk''']]) 22:47, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
:Sure, just make sure to change it up so it's unique to you. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 05:00, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

== Suggested change to our type pages ==

I made a suggestion on {{DL|Talk:Fairy (type)|Offensive and Defensive Charactaristics|Talk:Fairy (type)}} that I think would be a better course of action for handling our type pages than what we do now. I brought it up with {{DL|User talk:Maverick Nate|Suggested forums discussion|Maverick Nate}}, since he normally runs the administrative discussion on the forums, and he directed me here. Do you mind giving your thoughts on the matter, please? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:40, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
:I'll bring it up in a chat discussion cause even though I'm Head of Games I feel like all I'd do is delete all trances of competitive battling from the site. (hahaha...) But while I do agree that it's a bit too close to "strategies", it's also based on solid fact based on their stats. So if anything, it could probably just be dumbed down a bit at the very least. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 18:00, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

==Battle Trozei==
Does somebody have a page for the new Trozei game started up on their userpage? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 18:49, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
:Not that I know of, but we do need a page for it asap. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 02:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

==Emulator ROM Mods==
So I used to be a huge Pokemon fan, got every game from Red and Blue through to Platinum, but faded out of it through middle school. Now with i devises having emulators, my whole grade is on a huge Pokemon hit and I began playing ROM's and found out about mods. I was looking for some info on the Zhery league, but found out through extensive searching that bulbapedia doesn't have anything on Pokemon ROM mods. Would pages on modified games ever develop?{{unsigned|Modmasterfitzy}}
:I doubt it because we don't usually publish information regarding ROMs or emulators. We stick to official information. We only acknowledge ROMs in special cases.

== Friend Safari locations for Pokemon pages ==

I understand we're "supposed" to be waiting on a new template to add Friend Safari locations to Pokemon pages. But I cannot fathom that it could be so great a change that Friend Safari location is only acceptably notable in that template, and not in the current template. If it is possible to acceptably note Friend Safari location for a Pokemon with the current template, people should be allowed to go around and add FS locations to Pokemon pages. It's been entirely too long, and unless you can tell me the new template will be ready in a day or two, we shouldn't have to ''keep'' waiting, ''keep'' the wiki out-of-date even longer. I know I'm willing to work on it, and I'm sure there are a few others around who would still be willing. Will you approve people adding Friend Safari locations in some acceptable format?

== Question about Effort Value Yield ==

Hello. I couldn't find anything on Bulbapedia along the lines of Wikipedia's Reference Desk, so I figured I might as well ask you (hope I'm not a bother)! So, here goes. I visited Bulba's page on [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV Yield]], and in the intro, there's a note stating that the numbers there are only valid for gen V and up! So I Googled around, and there's conflicting sources. Psypokes claims that these values only differ from the first 2 gens, and that the only change between gen III and the present is the new Pokemon (by the way, for the purposes of this question, my main focus is gen III) Is this true?.

Bonus Question - What's a good 3 Pokemon core to build around Mudkip, using Pokemon available toward the beginning of Sapphire (even if only temporary)? I plan on EVing Mudkip to be a wall breaker/mixed tank, if that helps...

And one last thing, you might have been able to deduce from my questions that I'm a budding EV trainer. Can you point me in the direction of a good online community? Kay, thanks! --[[User:SillyWynaut96|SillyWynaut96]] ([[User talk:SillyWynaut96|talk]]) 17:52, 28 March 2014 (UTC)
:The {{bp|Staff}} page is kind of like a reference page. You can contact pretty much any active staff member you want with a question, and if they can't answer, someone who can will show up to help you out.

:I looked through the history, and it seems [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_Pok%C3%A9mon_by_effort_value_yield&diff=1633539&oldid=1633535 Jigglypuff, Meowth, and Geodude's base exp yield was changed in Gen V]. That's what the disclaimer is referring to, not the EV they yield.

:I'm probably not the person to ask for competitive advice. I'm generally terrible at team building because I prefer using Pokémon I like over Pokémon that would actually be useful. The only thing I can really imagine being good with Mudkip in Sapphire would be Ludicolo since it gets Rain Dance and its ability heals it during a downpour. Then Mudkip-Swampert can also benefit from the attack boost. But I would suggest asking {{u|MAGNEDETH}} cause he's more savvy in that field than I am.

:As for your last question, like I said, I'm not really into competitive play myself. You could always look around the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f323/ video game board on Bulbagarden's forums]. [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f518/ There's even a board dedicated to competitive play]. I honestly don't know of any other ''good'' communities. I'm not trying to be self-promoting here.

I understand that the comment is very old. However, isn't the policy that replies should not be added to conversations that have finished/resolved? The [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#Talk page etiquette|policy]] doesn't actually say that it is, unassailably, okay to respond if no response was ever made, of course...

Hope you laughed too! Anyway, I've got another (hopefully simpler) factual question (hate to single you out, but 'Head of Games' seems like the go-to for this). You're aware of the whole, grass beats water, water beats fire, fire beats grass thing. So, just how many of these rock-paper-scissor-style type-effectiveness triangles are there? Can you name them? And besides the obvious difference of the fairy type, would there be any other differences between gen III and gen VI in this respect?

:After googling around, I think I should clarify. For my purposes, a type triangle strictly means that x is super effective to y, is super effective to z, is super effective to x.

== [[Berry#In Generation VI]] Berry list and templates ==

I come to you, Head of Games, wondering about a new template(s) for the Gen VI Berries. I have two issues.

The first, a fairly minor concern: the Gen VI Berries have no numbers, so I'd like to create a new template (Berrylist/6 and Berrylist/h/6, I think) without that column.

Second, the Berry trees now have 7 stages of growth as opposed to 5.
*This is where you planted the [Berry] Berry!
*The [Berry] is sprouting!
*The [Berry]'s seedling is growing well!
*The [Berry]'s trunk is getting bigger!
*The [Berry] tree has buds!
*The [Berry] tree is in bloom!
*(When the Berries have fruited and the tree is harvestable.)
In addition, sprouts may be different now; Rawst and Oran sprouts look different, for example. Right now we don't have sprites for any of these stages, but I think these should get a new template as well, like Tree/6.

Of course, none of the above would be ''too'' difficult to do within current templates, I just kind of think it'd be better if they were their own, new templates. What do you think? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
:Well, they are ''sorted'' by their numbers, AFAIK. You could theoretically collect all the berries and sort them by type to get the numbers. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 16:46, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

== Some questions ==

Hi Jo, I just have a few questions, and I figured you'd be the best person to ask them as head of games here. A while back I made a few templates that I would assume are ready to be mainspaced, but I want to run it by you first. The first of these templates is [[User:Schiffy/Template:Warrior]] (or [[User:Schiffy/Template:Warrior/Full]]), which is intended for [[List of Pokémon Conquest characters|this page]]. I asked [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] to look over the first one, and she agreed it looks fine, but that someone higher up should decide (On a side note, in regards to that page, I noticed some Warriors using colors on their tables that don't match their type(s). It's only one or two, but it should probably be fixed). On a separate note, the other templates I set up a while back were [[User:Schiffy/Barry color]] and its light and dark equivalents. Just wondering of those could possibly be used. Thanks, [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 02:21, 5/1/2014 (UTC)
:Essentially you're just taking the code already on the page and turning it into a template? Eh, I think [[Template:Warlord]] would be better.

::Well yes, that's exactly what I did for the template. Essentially, I figured since the same table is being used {{tt|163 times|I think}} on that page, it would make more sense to condense it. I suppose the Warlord template could work as well. The Barry thing just crossed my mind while I was helping with the Party -> Party/Single template switch, and I noticed nearly everything with Barry was using the same three hex color codes.

I thought you had merely reverted the whole edit without much thought, and I wanted you to be more discriminate in fixing your issue. Though I shortly realized that you hadn't actually reverted the whole edit, it was too late. Sadly, you still reverted practically the whole of my reversion as well, even after I tried to make my main issue clear to you. (You'll notice I only discussed the color scheme parenthetically.) That means you either didn't realize that the parts I re-edited afterwards were bloat/bad form or you didn't care. I hope the answer is that you didn't realize.

== Bianca ==

I see you are the one responsible for proposing this whole mystery situation. Your reason, however, is vague. Based on your edit history, you had believed prior to contact that she was voiced by Ortiz like the rest and particularly rejected the concept of Jayne as a candidate. The way you removed Ortiz and go to such lengths suggests that your contact was with a proxy or Ortiz rather than one from Jayne. Therefore I ask you this: What exactly did your contact say? More specifically, did it particularly state that Jayne was not the voice of Bianca despite the credit list (in other words, did it say that the credits themselves were incorrect)?

== The new spriteboxes and the previous generations ==

I really like the new sprite boxes! However, after looking through, I saw that many of them have the wrong Generation in the part where it says, 'This Pokémon was unavailable prior to Generation '. For example: [[Wingull (Pokémon)#Sprites|Wingull]] (Which has 'Gen' as the parameter name instead of 'gen'), [[Metagross (Pokémon)#Sprites|Metagross]], [[Oshawott (Pokémon)#Sprites|Oshawott]], [[Tepig (Pokémon)#Sprites|Tepig]], [[Chandelure (Pokémon)#Sprites|Chandelure]], and many, many more. I would edit it myself, but this seems to me like it needs some sort of bot or something, because they are so many and so random. - [[User:Mr. Flix|Mr. Flix]] | [[User_talk:Mr. Flix|Talk to me^^]] 08:45, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

== Possible socks? ==

I noticed a ton of users registered with names based on Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This seems suspicious, especially since they were created one right after the other... [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 02:52, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

== New articles ==

I've noticed that Bulbapedia is missing some articles on a few of the new locations in ORAS, so I created [[User:Aggron989/Nameless Cavern|two]] [[User:Aggron989/Pathless Plain|articles]] in my userspace as a draft. I haven't created a lot of new articles before, so I was wondering if you could tell me what is considered acceptable to put into the mainspace and what needs to get revised before it can go into the mainspace.

== Ability Variations ==

Hello. I'm wondering if Strong Jaw and Mega Launcher would count as variant abilities, like Snow Warning and Sand Stream, etc. They both have the same effect - increase the power of moves in a certain category by 50%, Strong Jaw for biting moves, Mega Launcher for aura and pulse moves. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] ([[User talk:Drake Clawfang|talk]]) 22:37, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
:Yup, the two abilities definitely share similar effects! But for right now it looks like we're going to be focusing on cleaning up variant abilities. So don't do anything for now. But yes, we definitely agree with you that the two abilities are one and the same, just for two different types of moves.

==Split for list of Mystery Dungeon characters==

I'm sorry if you aren't the person to bother on this, but since you're the Head of Games, I figured you'd be a good person to bring it up to.

The [[list of Mystery Dungeon characters]] currently covers four different sets of games. It makes more sense to me to split the page up into four different pages--one for each set of games. It'd also be easier to navigate since there wouldn't be so many different sections on one page. I brought it up on the talk page for the article, but no one has responded. I wouldn't be in such a rush, except I plan on doing quite a few edits to some Mystery Dungeon articles, and it would involve linking to this list. So if the page ''is'' going to be split, I'd rather it be before I make all of the edits so that I won't have to go back and fix all the links.

If you could get back to me, or direct me to someone else I should talk to, I'd appreciate it. [[User:Slimey01|'''slimey''']][[User talk:Slimey01|'''01''']] 02:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)

== Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating ==

I earlier interrupted what might have become an edit war to try to help figure out a solution to what was being edited. After a [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|friendly chat]], I made the call on how to mark Yellow for PEGI: unrated (I used N/A since it didn't exist at the time), and included a tooltip with the conflicting source listed as Pokémon UK, who claims it's rated. I know nothing about PEGI other than being told it was created in 2003, which was after Generation II.

As the Head of Games (this article, obviously, is a game), can you please review the discussion and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version&diff=2222389&oldid=2222196 my edit] and determine if anything further should be done in regards to this? Other than contacting PEGI and getting official word from them, we have to go by the facts, I think. Feel free to outdent the discussion if you choose to comment. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:06, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
:Just saw [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version&curid=1013&diff=2224303&oldid=2223679 this]. Thank you for making the call, appreciated. =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:49, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
::Hello, I was actually the one who started the discussion. As you probably saw, those of us who were involved in the discussion came to a slightly different conclusion. Although I'll respect your final decision, I request that you read [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|our discussion]] in order to see why we came to the conclusion we did.

== PokéDex entries/Game Locations ==

I would just like to ask for the PokéDex entries and Game Locations section in each individual "Species (Pokémon)" pages, for which games are supposed to be written in white or black texts. Some articles feature Omega Ruby with black text, while some others feature Omega Ruby in white text, same as for Alpha Sapphire, and maybe previous generations. Or either black or white text is acceptable? --[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang95]] ([[User talk:Ruixiang95|talk]]) 14:49, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
:Hi, hopefully I can take this one, Jo.
:I'm already working on correcting this. I asked [[User:ht14|ht14]] about this yesterday, who checked with [[User:Kogoro|the editor-in-chief]] and confirmed they are all to be white text. I have gone ahead just yesterday and updated all Hoenn Pokémon pages - which as you note were all mixed up even there - to now all have white text. This is the standard from what Kogoro says. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 14:52, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
::Just to clarify, the only labels I refer to are OR and AS. The others are all fine. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:00, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

== Making Pokémon Yellow's PEGI rating be "3" by default and mentioning where it is from. ==

Hello. I was actually the one who started [[User_talk:SatoMew2#The_comment_regarding_PEGI|the discussion you dealt with regarding Pokémon Yellow's PEGI rating]]. Those of us who were involved in the discussion came to a slightly different conclusion than you did; we thought that since PEGI's actual website—the "more official" source—lables it unrated, we should make that the default choice while also noting (e.g., by tooltip) the other source's "3" rating. Although I'll respect your final decision, I request that you read our discussion in order to see why we came to the conclusion we did (unless you did read it already). Thanks! (As you may notice, I basically already posted this in the [[User talk:Jo The Marten#Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating|Pokémon Yellow PEGI Rating]] section above. I'm just re-posting this to make sure you got it.) —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 17:14, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Muk}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
Grimer is a slimy, amorphous blob-like Pokémon, made of living purple sludge. Its body is a pungent cesspool of bacteria, which are so potent that it renders soil barren and incapable of supporting plant life ever again. It has two large eyes with beady little pupils, and a gaping mouth with a grey tongue. While it lacks any visible legs, it does have two arms with three digits on each hand. It is constantly oozing; endlessly leaking a germ-infected fluid from all parts of its body. Pieces of it often breaks off during travel, and from these pieces new Grimer will begin to grow. When combined with another Grimer, it produces new poisonous compounds.

Due to its lack of a solid form, it is capable of squeezing into any space or crevices with relative ease. It uses this to penetrate sewage pipes so that it may feed off of the filthy waste water inside. It happily consumes and thrives off nearly any form of waste or refuse. It can be found in polluted lakes and streams, as well as within {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}} where trash and industrial waste can be found.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lake Lucid Grimer.png|thumb|left|200px|Grimer in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', [[Celadon City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]] told a story about when she was a youngster: She got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. However, a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}} chased the Grimer off and saved her.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} first encountered Grimer in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. A {{AP|Muk}} and a large group of angry Grimer were gumming up the turbines in the power plant in [[Gringey City]], causing a city-wide power loss.

{{an|Dawn}} temporarily trained a Grimer in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Grimer was among the Pokémon controlled by [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''.

Four Grimer appear in a flashback in ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'' as former inhabitants of [[Lake Lucid]] before becoming the clean lake it is now.

==In the manga==
[[File:Koga Grimer Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Grimer in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Koga]] wears a Grimer on his shoulder in the form of a ninja outfit in ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]''. He used it extensively to smother {{adv|Blue}}, preventing him from breathing and restrict his movement so that he would be unable to call on his Pokémon. He again used it in the battle with the evil Elite Four [[Agatha]], to little effect.

In ''[[PS119|A Flaaffy Kerfuffle]]'' a Tangela appeared where it was one of the Pokémon in {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s fantasy when he explains that trainers should only have six Pokémon with them.

Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], is later seen with a Grimer. She uses it against [[Falkner]] during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff, using its {{m|Minimize}} attack to outwit his {{p|Noctowl}}.

A Grimer was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]] in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]''.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[Koga]] owns a Grimer in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Grimer's anime debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer cover their noses from the smell. However, in recent episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
* Grimer shares similar traits to {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison-types with a single evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Grimer being water pollution.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Grimer may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

====Name origin====
Grimer is derived from ''grime'' (''dirt'' or ''filth'').

Betbeter may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' and べたべた ''betabeta'', both meaning sticky.

'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Muk}} starting at [[level]] 38.

==Biology==
Grimer is a slimy, amorphous blob-like Pokémon, made of living purple sludge. Its body is a pungent cesspool of bacteria, which are so potent that it renders soil barren and incapable of supporting plant life ever again. It has two large eyes with beady little pupils, and a gaping mouth with a grey tongue. While it lacks any visible legs, it does have two arms with three digits on each hand. It is constantly oozing; endlessly leaking a germ-infected fluid from all parts of its body. Pieces of it often breaks off during travel, and from these pieces new Grimer will begin to grow. When combined with another Grimer, it produces new poisonous compounds.

Due to its lack of a solid form, it is capable of squeezing into any space or crevices with relative ease. It uses this to penetrate sewage pipes so that it may feed off of the filthy waste water inside. It happily consumes and thrives off nearly any form of waste or refuse. It can be found in polluted lakes and streams, as well as within {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}} where trash and industrial waste can be found.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lake Lucid Grimer.png|thumb|left|200px|Grimer in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', [[Celadon City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]] told a story about when she was a youngster: She got lost one day and ran into a Grimer. However, a {{TP|Erika|Gloom}} chased the Grimer off and saved her.

{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr}} first encountered Grimer in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. A {{AP|Muk}} and a large group of angry Grimer were gumming up the turbines in the power plant in [[Gringey City]] causing a city-wide power loss.

{{an|Dawn}} temporarily trained a Grimer in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Grimer was among the Pokémon controlled by [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]] in ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''.

Four Grimer appear in a flashback in ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'' as former inhabitants of [[Lake Lucid]] before becoming the clean lake it is now.

==In the manga==
[[File:Koga Grimer Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Grimer in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Koga]] wears a Grimer on his shoulder in the form of a ninja outfit in ''[[PS029|Go for the Golbat]]''. He used it extensively to smother {{adv|Blue}}, preventing him from breathing and restrict his movement so that he would be unable to call on his Pokémon. He again used it in the battle with the evil Elite Four [[Agatha]], to little effect.

In ''[[PS119|A Flaaffy Kerfuffle]]'' a Tangela appeared where it was one of the Pokémon in {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s fantasy when he explains that trainers should only have six Pokémon with them.

Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], is later seen with a Grimer. She uses it against [[Falkner]] during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff, using its {{m|Minimize}} attack to outwit his {{p|Noctowl}}.

A Grimer was one of the Pokémon sent to help the fight in [[Ilex Forest]] in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]''.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
[[Koga]] owns a Grimer in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Grimer's anime debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer cover their noses from the smell. However, in recent episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' where {{an|Dawn}} is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
* Grimer shares similar traits to {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison-types with a single evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Grimer being water pollution.

===Origin===
It appears to be a pile of living sludge. Grimer may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

====Name origin====
Grimer is derived from ''grime'' (''dirt'' or ''filth'').

Betbeter may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' and べたべた ''betabeta'', both meaning sticky.

Pokémon controversies

2015-01-03T20:18:32Z

The Sackinator: /* Uri Geller */ Since 1) Kadabra cards couldn't be used until an agreement would be made and no Kadabra cards have been made and 2) according to Bulbapedia, "the case would not be settled anytime soon," where's a ref to say he lost the lawsuit? Mayb I

There have been numerous '''controversies''' regarding [[Pokémon]].

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

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

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

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

====In the games====
[[File:Spr 4d 379.png|thumb|left|International DP Registeel]]
[[File:Spr 4p 379.png|thumb|right|European DP/Worldwide PtHGSS Registeel]]
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. In the Japanese, Korean, and English releases, Registeel's arm is extended. In non-English European versions an altered sprite is used, depicting it with its both of its arms down, presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Roman salute}}, infamously {{wp|Nazi salute|used}} by (and therefore commonly associated with) the German {{wp|Nazism|Nazi Party}}. In all versions of {{game|Platinum}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the revised sprite is used.
{{-}}
===Satanism===
Some {{wp|Christian fundamentalism|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to {{wp|Satanism}}. The following is a summarized and possibly incomplete list of their reasons for this accusation:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.
*Magical talismans (supposedly a reference to [[Badge|Gym Badges]]) are needed to control them.
*Pokémon [[evolution|evolve]]. Though this transformation is more akin to metamorphosis in most Pokémon, the theory of evolution is denied entirely by the most fundamentalist creationists, who believe that all things as they are presently were divinely inspired.
**Some Pokémon evolution even requires the use of certain magical [[evolutionary stone|stones]].
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type|Psychic}}s. Those with Psychic powers are labeled as having been given these powers by {{wp|Satan}} in the {{wp|Bible}} itself.
*Many Pokémon embody or practice East Asian spiritual or mystical concepts, being that the franchise originated in Japan. Some Christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.
*Some claim that if one were to {{wp|backmasking|play backwards}} the [[Pokérap]], "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" can be heard as "I love you, Satan".

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

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

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise, claiming it encourages gambling and promotes {{wp|Zionism}}. High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."

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

===Racism===
====Jynx====
[[File:124Jynx RG.png|thumb|left|The original design of Jynx]]
[[File:Spr 2s 124.png|thumb|right|Jynx's front sprite in Western Silver]]
[[File:Spr 2s 124 jp.png|thumb|right|Jynx's front sprite in Japanese and Korean Silver]]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}}, which had recently appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub.

Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, and this change was reflected in later [[core series]] games, including in Japan and South Korea, beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and in the {{pkmn|anime}} starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion.

Other people, however, think Jynx is based on a Nordic princess. This is because there are legends saying things like due to the blistering cold, a princess's skin turned black. They argue that Jynx's hair looks more like royalty than an African stereotype. They also say that being based on a {{wp|Viking}} could reason why they are {{t|Ice}} type. This is further expressed by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is pop-culturally portrayed dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}.

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

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

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

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

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

===Gambling===
[[File:HGSS Goldenrod Game Corner.png|thumb|right|The Goldenrod Game Corner in Western HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
English releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} renamed the {{tc|PI|Gambler}} Trainer class to '''Gamer''' and altered their dialogue to remove references to gambling. The English versions of the [[Generation IV]] games renamed Gamblers once more but to '''{{wp|Private investigator|PI}}''' instead; however, the references to gambling were kept.

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

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

All [[core series]] games since {{game|Black and White|s}} feature no Game Corner at all. Furthermore, this is referenced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which shows that the [[Mauville Game Corner]] has been closed down.

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

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

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

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

===Other lawsuits===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectible cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectible nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.{{fact}}

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

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

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it uses the move {{m|Transform}} to become a copy of its opponent.

It can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} group and itself, including {{egg|Gender unknown|some genderless Pokémon}}, to produce Eggs of the other's species.

==Biology==
[[File:Duplica Ditto Pikachu.png|200px|thumb|left|[[Duplica]]'s Ditto {{m|transform}}ed as a {{p|Pikachu}}]]
In its natural state, Ditto is a light purple or magenta free-form shape blob with vestigial facial features. It also appears to have two vestigial, handless 'arms' protruding from its body. It is capable of transforming into an exact replica of any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. [[EP037|The anime]] has shown that occasionally a Ditto cannot change its face. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Ditto cannot mimic the strength of another Pokémon, but it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. Ditto will also transform into a rock when sleeping to avoid attack. Ditto is never far from {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|civilization or people}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ditto Number 1.png|right|200px|thumb|Ditto in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Duplica's Ditto]]====
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two had not had an audience since people saw that Ditto could not change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when it was captured by {{TRT}}.

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP112|the following episode]].

Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it could not change its size.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Ditty.png|thumb|left|150px|Ditto in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{main|Ditty}}
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

A Trainer in the [[Goldenrod Game Corner]] is seen with a Ditto in ''[[PS107|Gligar Glide]]''.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}} and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, Monlee.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
Ditto is also featured in [[Pokémon Zensho]] under the ownership of {{Zensho|Satoshi}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
''Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.''

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, prior to Generation V, if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]] and its [[Generation IV]] [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]]).
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave stage]]. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the [[EP037|anime]], although it was understood that this was not natural. {{TCG|Ditto|Ditto cards}} from the {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} {{Trading Card Game}} expansion and the Clefairy Ditto that may appear in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s slot machines also have this trait.
* Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific items associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{Shiny}} forms, respectively.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle. However, Transform does exist in [[Pokémon Rumble Blast]], so Ditto has a move.
* Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appear.
* Ditto shares several aspects with {{p|Mew}}: the move {{m|Transform}}, the same {{Shiny}} blue and normal pink color, perfectly balanced base stats and the same weight, {{tt|8.8 pounds|4.0 kg}}.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Ditto and {{p|Poliwag}} had the same [[cry]].
* Since Transform copies its target's stats (except HP), Ditto cannot utilize its Special Attack stat before Transforming, though it can use its Attack stat for {{m|Struggle}} and {{status|confusion}} damage.
* In [[Generation II]], a transformed Ditto keeps its original purple color palette (blue if Shiny).
* Since Ditto's only move, Transform, cannot copy moves in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series and has only one PP, its only move after transforming is Struggle.

===Glitches===
====Index 000 post-capture====
In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M (00)]], it will still be in battle with the player, and the battle will not end. Catching 'M (00) again results in the second one becoming a Ditto of the same level.

====Ditto glitch====
{{main|Mew glitch#Ditto glitch|Mew glitch}}
The primary method of the Mew glitch involves having a wild Ditto transform into the player's Pokémon, as this copies the {{stat|Special}} stat, which is used to modify the species of Pokémon encountered.

====Transform assumption glitch====
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, any Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} is regarded as a Ditto in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a [[glitch Pokémon]] which has used the move Transform, or a Pokémon which has used Transform via {{m|Mirror Move}}, instead they will obtain a Ditto. Mew turning into Ditto was not an issue, because wild Mew could not have been legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in Generation III, where wild Mew could be legitimately encountered.

====Shiny Ditto glitch====
{{main|List of glitches in Generation II#Shiny Ditto glitch|List of glitches in Generation II}}
By trading any [[Shiny Pokémon]] to a Generation I game, having a wild Ditto transform into that Pokémon, then catching and trading the Ditto into a Generation II game, the Ditto will be Shiny.

====Transform-specific glitches====
{{main|Transform (move)#Glitches|Transform (move)}}

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori revealed that Ditto was originally based on the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an ''{{wp|amoeba}}'', a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It also could partially be based on an {{wp|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It could also have been based on a {{wp|blob}}.

====Name origin====
Ditto is literally ''ditto'', a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. It was also a common name for copies of master documents created by mimeograph machines, as well as English slang meaning "the same" (in agreement or to copy someone's order).

Metamon is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'' and ''monster''. Alternatively, ''Meta'' as a prefix means "to encompass all," which Ditto's {{m|Transform}} move does do to Pokémon.

'''Pokémon food''' is a broad term used for almost any food a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] eats. Despite the variety of both Pokémon and Pokémon food, nearly every Pokémon will eat any kind of Pokémon food. This may mean that the majority of Pokémon are {{wp|Omnivore|omnivorous}}. Several species are even capable of consuming things not normally viewed as edible from a human perspective, such as minerals, electrical energy or even dreams and emotions. Some species have been said to eat other Pokémon, or be eaten by Pokémon and Humans alike, forming a {{wp|food chain}}.

==In the games==
===Main series games===
====Bait====
Introduced in the [[Generation I]] games and used in [[Safari Zone]]s, this food will make a [[wild Pokémon]] less likely to run away but more difficult to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]]. An unlimited supply of Bait is provided for use in the Safari Zone.

====Drinks====
{{main|Drink}}
Introduced in the [[Generation I]] games, drinks can be bought from vending machines and can be used to heal Pokémon in much the same way that [[Potion]]s can at a fraction of the price.

====Berries====
{{main|Berry}}
Introduced in the [[Generation II]] games, Berries are a type of item which, unlike [[Potion]]s or [[Vitamin]]s, are portrayed as food rather than {{wp|Medication|medicine}}. A Pokémon may hold this item and, if needed, eat it during a {{pkmn|battle}} to heal itself or cause other effects. In Generation III onwards, these can be planted and harvested by the {{player}}. These Berries have names and design basis on real fruits and vegetables.

====Pokéblock====
{{main|Pokéblock}}
Featured in the [[Generation III]] games, Pokéblocks are a type of candy which are blended from Berries and given to a Pokémon to raise its condition in several areas. The flavor, level, and feel of the Pokéblock is determined by the ingredients which compose it and how well it is blended.

A Pokémon can only eat a certain number of Pokéblocks before it is full and cannot eat any more. A Pokéblock with lower feel will fill up the Pokémon less than one with greater feel.

Pokéblocks can also be put on a feeder in the {{safari|Hoenn}} to lure [[wild Pokémon]] out. After being there for a while, however, the Pokéblock will eventually be eaten. It can also be used in encounters in the Safari Zone in the same manner as bait.

====Poffin====
{{main|Poffin}}
Featured in [[Generation IV]], Poffins are similar to Pokéblocks. A Poffin will raise the condition of a Pokémon in at least one of five categories: Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty, and Cool. The flavor and feel of a Poffin is still taken into account just as in a Pokéblock. The main difference is that Poffins are pastries and Pokéblocks are candy. In the anime, Dawn bakes poffins for her Pokémon.

====Honey====
{{main|Honey}}
Featured in [[Generation IV]], Honey can be slathered onto a Honey tree to attract wild Pokémon. It works similarly to Pokéblocks in the Safari Zone; it can be placed in a specific location and will disappear (presumably eaten) after some time. However, only one Pokémon can be found on a honey tree for one Honey slathered onto it. If used in tall grass, it has the same effect as the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}. In the anime, Barry used this method to capture his Heracross.

====Aprijuice====
{{main|Apriblender}}
Apricorns were introduced in [[Generation II]], where their sole use was to create custom [[Poké Ball]]s. In the remakes of the Generation II games, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Apricorns can be blended into drinks called Aprijuice. These drinks will raise a Pokémon's [[Pokéathlon]] stats: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

====Poké Puffs====
{{main|Pokémon-Amie#Poké Puffs|Pokémon-Amie}}
Featured in [[Generation VI]], Poké Puffs are small cake-like confections that can be fed to Pokémon to increase their Affection. Poké Puffs are obtained by beating mini-games or received from visiting Pokémon. They come in the following flavors: Citrus, Mocha, Spice, Mint, and Sweet.

====Other items====
A few items that appear to be made for human consumption are supposed to be given to Pokémon to heal them. These items are normally found or sold in certain locations and are considered specialties of those places. These items include the [[RageCandyBar]] of the [[Lake of Rage]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} of [[Lavaridge Town]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Old Gateau}} of the [[Old Chateau]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Casteliacone}} of [[Castelia City]] and the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lumiose Galette}} of [[Lumiose City]].

===Spin-off games===
[[File:MeowthEatApple.png|frame|200px|right|{{p|Meowth}} eating Pokémon food in the shape of an apple]]
====Apple-shaped Pokémon food====
In [[Pokémon Snap]], one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon food in the shape of an apple. These are unlimited, and the {{player}} can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon, causing them to {{DL|Status condition|flinch}}, [[fainting|faint]], or become upset.

[[Professor Oak]] will provide the player with Pokémon food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

Different types of [[Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Apples]] are available in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Poké Snacks====
These are used in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] to lure [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Poké Spot]]s. They look like a slice of a yellow cake, with each slice being one-tenth of the cake. Up to ten can be placed at each Poké Spot.

The [[P★DA]] monitors the Poké Snacks at each Poké Spot, and will inform [[Michael]] how many are at each Poké Spot and when a wild Pokémon is eating them. If Michael doesn't return to the Poké Spot quickly, the wild Pokémon may have eaten all the Poké Snacks he had there.

Sometimes a {{p|Munchlax}} will appear at a Poké Spot. When this happens, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} will arrive, apologize, and give ten new Poké Snacks for any the Munchlax may have eaten. Other times, a {{p|Bonsly}} will appear, running away unless the player approaches it slowly. If it runs away, it will be seen at a different Poké Spot.

Poké Snacks can be purchased from Poké Marts for {{PDollar}}300 after the player talks to Duking in his house in Pyrite Town.

====Mystery Dungeon food====
{{main|Food (Mystery Dungeon)}}
There are a variety of different kinds of Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], such as apples, [[Gummi]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], [[Seed]]s and [[health drink]]s. Gummis's effect varies on the type of the Pokémon and have an effect on the consumer's [[IQ]], while apples fill up the belly. Berries cause many effects, such as restoring HP and removing [[status condition]]s. Seeds often cause special status ailments. Health drinks generally raise [[stats]], but some may do other things like restore {{PP}}. All food will have a small effect on the belly as well. Food can be turned into drinks at [[Spinda's Café]].

====Sushi====
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, a mini-game called "Sushi-Go-Round" features several {{p|Lickitung}} competing in a race against the clock to eat the most pieces of sushi. Some pieces are too spicy for the {{p|Lickitung}}, causing them to momentarily spin around in anguish, stalling them for time.

====Other food====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] there are many more different kinds of food than in other Pokémon games. There are foods such as {{wp|cupcake}}s, {{wp|acorn}}s, {{wp|mushroom}}s, {{wp|corn}} (which turns into {{wp|popcorn}} if shocked by Pikachu), {{wp|carrot}}s, {{wp|onion}}s, {{wp|herbs}}, {{wp|radish}}es, {{wp|apple}}s, and {{wp|banana}}s. Other things are edible even though they are not typically eaten as food, such as {{wp|flowers}} and other {{wp|plants}}.

In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Berries are often the common food source for Pokémon as well as their form of currency. A number of Pokémon can be befriended by offering them a large Berry. Iron ores are also considered a food source for the {{p|Aron}} in the game.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gluttonous Emolga.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Iris's Emolga]] eating apples]]
[[File:Slowking eating.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Slowking}} drinking milk from a {{wp|coconut}}]]
Pokémon food has appeared in the anime as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a sort of kibble. It is available for purchase in cans, as seen briefly in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]''. Several [[Pokémon Trainer]]s will make their own, especially {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s and [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s like {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}. It is shown to be suitable for human consumption, but the flavor is not always agreeable with humans, as shown by the fact that [[Seymour]] was able to eat it without any problem, but {{Ash}} tried some and reacted badly. Good Pokémon food tastes great to Pokémon, however.

Brock often offers his homemade Pokémon food to try to gain a Pokémon's trust if it seems to be unfriendly or scared, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending. Most Pokémon are extremely fond of the food he makes, with the exception of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' which outright refused it (although it's possible it realized it was a trap and refused to take the bait).

Pokémon are also known to consume food that is meant for people, such as [[rice ball]]s. In fact, some Pokémon, such as [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]], loved to eat these more than anything else. As shown by {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, [[Ash's Taillow]] and {{MTR}}, Pokémon are also able to eat chocolate without any ill effects.

Some Pokémon also eat food which would not be eaten by humans, such the {{p|Aron}} and {{p|Lairon}} that were shown to eat iron in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Eating other Pokémon==
In early Pokémon games, it seems that most Pokémon were somewhat more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like, prey-predator system. (This also holds true for more modern games, such as with {{p|Scatterbug}}.) For example: [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}} says that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" This is also touched upon in its {{2v2|Red|Blue}} Pokédex entries, stating its predator-prey relationship to Magikarp.

In the [[original series]] episode ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', {{AP|Pidgeotto}} immediately began to peck at {{AP|Ash's Caterpie|Butterfree}} when Ash first attempted to catch the [[Flying (type)|Bird]] Pokémon. Misty took notice and warned Ash that Pidgeotto might try to eat Caterpie, who was quickly returned to his Poké Ball. Pidgeotto never attempted to harm Caterpie again once it had been captured by Ash.

At one point during ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', a hunger-stricken {{TR|Meowth}} attempted to eat [[James's Magikarp]], only to have its hard scales break his teeth. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', one of [[Nastina]]'s complaints about {{p|Tentacool}} is that they aren't edible. Before its capture in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', [[Ash's Snorlax]] attempted to eat [[Misty's Goldeen]] when they were trying to prevent Snorlax from eating all the {{wp|grapefruit}} on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]].

According to the Pokédex, {{p|Farfetch'd}} is so rare because it has been hunted down for food and makes a rather delicious meal.

In the games, {{p|Ekans}}'s favorite food is indicated to be the eggs of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}}. {{p|Kingler}}, known for their powerful pincer, have been documented in its Pokédex to prey on both {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}} by prying open their shells. Before their extinction due to their shells becoming too heavy, {{p|Omastar}} were also believed to have preyed on Shellder; ensnaring them, cracking open their shell and then sucking out the insides.

The {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} Pokédex entry for {{p|Taillow}} claims they feed on {{p|Wurmple}}. This is further explored in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], when Wurmple of Team Tasty thinks its partner, {{p|Swellow}}, the evolved form of {{p|Taillow}}, will eventually eat it. Swellow, however, seems mortified at the idea of eating his teammate. In a similar fashion, {{p|Cherubi}} is also mentioned to be preyed upon by its regional bird Pokémon {{p|Starly}}. In its Pokédex entries, the ball-like appendage is described as being "very sweet and tasty," and that Starly will try to peck it off and eat it as well. While Starly is not eating Cherubi itself like Taillow does Wurmple, it still draws a parallel between the two.

{{p|Heatmor}}'s {{2v2|Black|White}} Pokédex entries state that it preys on {{p|Durant}}.

Scatterbug's [[Pokémon X and Y|X]] Pokédex entry states that bird Pokémon will try to prey on it.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], several Meowth can be seen chasing {{p|Pidgey}} at various points on the [[Pokémon Island Beach|Beach]]. Near the end of the course, one can be witnessed lurking around a Pidgey nest before it is {{m|Gust|attacked}} by the Pidgey which roost there. Since Meowth are cats and Pidgey are birds, the Pidgey and their nest are likely being targeted by the Meowth for food.

===Pokémon parasitically feeding off other Pokémon===
Other cases of Pokémon preying on each other involve more parasitic means. This includes sucking blood, sap, energy or life force from another Pokémon. This is seen with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish.

The Official Pokémon Handbook mentions {{p|Golbat}} drinking the blood of its enemies, which is noted in most of its in-game Pokédex entries as well.

[[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]
On numerous occasions, Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} has targeted his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb for sap. Even in the heat of battle, it will quickly pin down Bulbasaur and help itself to the sap inside. While not malicious or particularly harmful in nature, this still annoys and causes Bulbasaur discomfort to no end; Heracross seems to be indifferent to this fact however.

In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', a {{p|Joltik}} latched onto [[Ash's Pikachu]] and drained his electricity. Trying to aid Pikachu, Cilan and Iris decide to send out [[Cilan's Stunfisk|Stunfisk]] and [[Iris's Emolga|Emolga]], only to find out that more Joltik have unknowingly latched themselves onto their Poké Balls and drained the Pokémon from the outside-in.

==Eating non-Pokémon animals==
There are some examples and suggestions that [[Animals in the Pokémon world|non-Pokémon animals]] preyed on by some Pokémon. The Pokédex entries for {{p|Venonat}} and {{p|Venomoth}} mention them preying on small insects. {{p|Horsea}} is also mentioned to eat bugs and flying insects it shoots down with its ink. Both {{p|Weepinbell}} and {{p|Victreebel}} are known as flycatcher Pokémon, and the latter is mentioned to use the {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet aroma}} of its honey to lure prey such as bugs, as well as large animals. It is even hinted that Victreebel eat humans who venture into the jungle in search of a large Victreebel colony. {{p|Wailord}} has multiple Pokédex entries suggesting it eats {{wp|plankton}}, {{wp|zooplanton}} and {{wp|krill}}, which are small and microscopic plants and animals. Swimming on the sea floor in prehistoric times, {{p|Omanyte}} would eat plankton.

Examples of this also appeared from time to time in the [[original series]] of the anime. Before being [[catch|caught]], {{AP|Ash's Pidgeotto|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a {{wp|worm}}. In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', a statue based on fossil remains shows {{p|Kabutops}} preying on a large {{wp|fish}}. {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]] has also been seen fantasizing about fish, and eating animal based foods such as clams and fried chicken.

==Humans eating Pokémon==
Meat is often shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but while it has never been directly shown to come from Pokémon, no other food source has yet been explained. It is known that some Pokémon produce edible foods and by-products such as milk, nuts and fruit. These can be safely harvested with little or no harm or discomfort to the Pokémon. However, it has been mentioned that some Pokémon are hunted and used for their meat: {{p|Farfetch'd}} in particular are noted for making a good meal, especially when cooked with leek, and were nearly hunted to extinction because of this, ultimately leading to their rareness.

During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Slowpoke_Tail#SlowpokeTail|tails]] and then selling them as a rare delicacy. It is indicated that the tail is not eaten, but is sucked or lightly chewed on; similar to the manner in which a person would enjoy {{wp|Honeysuckle}}.

While visiting the [[Canalave Library]], it is revealed in the [[Sinnoh_myths#Sinnoh_Folk_Tales|Sinnoh Folk Tales]] that Pokémon caught from the sea are eaten, and then the bones thrown back into the water. It is also mentioned that the Pokémon that were eaten will return fully fleshed.

[[File:Edible Magikarp.png|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} imagining a cooked {{p|Magikarp}}.]]
In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Ash and friends, along with Team Rocket are stranded in the middle of the ocean without food. Eventually, due to their hunger and the dire nature of their situation, Ash and Brock began to discuss and fantasize about eating {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados|James's Magikarp}}. Unfortunately for them and {{TR|Meowth}} in particular, Magikarp's body composition renders it nearly inedible. Misty elaborates on this, stating that Magikarp are nothing more than scale and bone, thus there would be little sustenance obtained.

In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', [[Harley]] has a flashback in which a class mate (who looks like {{an|May}}) stole his "snackie", which bore a resemblance to tiny {{p|Octillery}}, similar to the octopi served in some real-life restaurants. It is unknown if these were actual Octillery, or just food prepared and shaped to look like them.

It is possible, based on wording used in {{p|Cherubi}}'s Pokédex entry, that humans, not just Pokémon have eaten Cherubi's ball-like appendage before. Also, according to its {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} Pokédex entry, {{p|Basculin}} are remarkably tasty, indicating humans have eaten them as well. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]]'s entry states that {{p|Seadra}}'s fins and bones are used in herbal medicine.

===Food produced by Pokémon===
Some species of Pokémon are known to produce various kinds of food which can be safely consumed by humans and other Pokémon, presumably without the Pokémon in question being killed and consumed in the process.

* {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}} are capable of laying eggs that are delicious and nutritious for humans and Pokémon.
* Certain {{type|Grass}} Pokémon such as {{p|Grotle}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Tropius}} are able to grow edible nuts, berries and other fruit on their bodies. While Pokémon always enjoy these, the same cannot always be said for humans. The food that Grotle produces, for example, tastes bad to humans.
* {{p|Shuckle}} are well known for storing certain kinds of Berries in their shells, which slowly ferment into juice. The juice has special properties if consumed by humans and Pokémon, and, as once demonstrated in the anime, can be used to make love potion.
* The fungus of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}} can be used to make [[potion]]s and medicine.
* {{p|Miltank}} produce {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} which can be bought in the games and used as a healing item. It is stated in both the games and the anime to be both nutritious and delicious. It is also stated in the games that it is said kids who drink it will become hearty, healthy adults. In the anime, groups of Miltank are often kept to produce the milk not only for drinking, but also for the milk used to make dairy products as part of a business.
* {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Vespiquen}} gather nectar from flowers to produce [[Honey]] which is savored by various species of Pokémon, such as {{p|Mothim}} who steal it.

==Dietary change==
[[File:Pokemonfood.png|thumb|right|160px|Fossilized seed remains of Aerodactyl's favorite food in ancient times]]
Over time, most mention of Pokémon being eaten by either Humans or Pokémon in any manner has become increasingly rare. This may be due to moral issues; as the anime and games progressed, Pokémon became seemingly more human-like. This included displaying individual personalities, human mannerisms, and complex emotions. In most cultures and societies, the idea of human beings eating each other is strictly taboo, so much so that even the idea of fictional creatures eating one another would seem equally cannibalistic if they possessed any human qualities.

Some Pokémon have even been given new dietary habits, possibly in an attempt to downplay any predatory behaviors. An example of this would be {{p|Aerodactyl}}, which was originally suggested to be {{wp|carnivore|carnivorous}}, but is later shown to eat fruit. In the [[original series]], Ash's Pokédex states "Its hard fangs suggest it might have been a carnivore. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey." Even in the games, Aerodactyl's Pokédex entries mention it tearing the throats out of its enemies. In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Aerodactyl was even shown going for Ash's throat. However, in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', the fossilized Aerodactyl egg {{Gary}} used to resurrect the Pokémon was found near fossilized seed remains. After Aerodactyl escaped, it was only calmed down when fed a pear-like fruit that was a similar DNA match to the seeds. This would imply that Aerodactyl regularly fed on the fruit, taking it to their nests, thus implying that they were {{wp|frugivore|frugivores}}, or at the very least {{wp|omnivore|omnivores}}.

{{main|Poffin}}
Featured in [[Generation IV]], Poffins are similar to Pokéblocks. A Poffin will raise the condition of a Pokémon in at least one of five categories: Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty, and Cool. The flavor and feel of a Poffin is still taken into account just as in a Pokéblock. The main difference is that Poffins are pastries and Pokéblocks are candy. In the anime, Dawn bakes poffins for her Pokémon.

====Honey====
{{main|Honey}}
Featured in [[Generation IV]], Honey can be slathered onto a Honey tree to attract wild Pokémon. It works similarly to Pokéblocks in the Safari Zone; it can be placed in a specific location and will disappear (presumably eaten) after some time. However, only one Pokémon can be found on a honey tree for one Honey slathered onto it. If used in tall grass, it has the same effect as the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}. In the anime, Barry used this method to capture his Heracross.

====Aprijuice====
{{main|Apriblender}}
Apricorns were introduced in [[Generation II]], where their sole use was to create custom [[Poké Ball]]s. In the remakes of the Generation II games, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Apricorns can be blended into drinks called Aprijuice. These drinks will raise a Pokémon's [[Pokéathlon]] stats: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

====Poké Puffs====
{{main|Pokémon-Amie#Poké Puffs|Pokémon-Amie}}
Featured in [[Generation VI]], Poké Puffs are small cake-like confections that can be fed to Pokémon to increase their Affection. Poké Puffs are obtained by beating mini-games or received from visiting Pokémon. They come in the following flavors: Citrus, Mocha, Spice, Mint, and Sweet.

====Other items====
A few items that appear to be made for human consumption are supposed to be given to Pokémon to heal them. These items are normally found or sold in certain locations and are considered specialties of those places. These items include the [[RageCandyBar]] of the [[Lake of Rage]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} of [[Lavaridge Town]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Old Gateau}} of the [[Old Chateau]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Casteliacone}} of [[Castelia City]] and the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lumiose Galette}} of [[Lumiose City]].

===Spin-off games===
[[File:MeowthEatApple.png|frame|200px|right|{{p|Meowth}} eating Pokémon food in the shape of an apple]]
====Apple-shaped Pokémon food====
In [[Pokémon Snap]], one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon food in the shape of an apple. These are unlimited, and the {{player}} can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon, causing them to {{DL|Status condition|flinch}}, [[fainting|faint]], or become upset.

[[Professor Oak]] will provide the player with Pokémon food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

Different types of [[Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Apples]] are available in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Poké Snacks====
These are used in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] to lure [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Poké Spot]]s. They look like a slice of a yellow cake, with each slice being one-tenth of the cake. Up to ten can be placed at each Poké Spot.

The [[P★DA]] monitors the Poké Snacks at each Poké Spot, and will inform [[Michael]] how many are at each Poké Spot and when a wild Pokémon is eating them. If Michael doesn't return to the Poké Spot quickly, the wild Pokémon may have eaten all the Poké Snacks he had there.

Sometimes a {{p|Munchlax}} will appear at a Poké Spot. When this happens, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} will arrive, apologize, and give ten new Poké Snacks for any the Munchlax may have eaten. Other times, a {{p|Bonsly}} will appear, running away unless the player approaches it slowly. If it runs away, it will be seen at a different Poké Spot.

Poké Snacks can be purchased from Poké Marts for {{PDollar}}300 after the player talks to Duking in his house in Pyrite Town.

====Mystery Dungeon food====
{{main|Food (Mystery Dungeon)}}
There are a variety of different kinds of Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], such as apples, [[Gummi]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], [[Seed]]s and [[health drink]]s. Gummis's effect varies on the type of the Pokémon and have an effect on the consumer's [[IQ]], while apples fill up the belly. Berries cause many effects, such as restoring HP and removing [[status condition]]s. Seeds often cause special status ailments. Health drinks generally raise [[stats]], but some may do other things like restore {{PP}}. All food will have a small effect on the belly as well. Food can be turned into drinks at [[Spinda's Café]].

====Sushi====
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, a mini-game called "Sushi-Go-Round" features several {{p|Lickitung}} competing in a race against the clock to eat the most pieces of sushi. Some pieces are too spicy for the {{p|Lickitung}}, causing them to momentarily spin around in anguish, stalling them for time.

====Other food====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] there are many more different kinds of food than in other Pokémon games. There are foods such as {{wp|cupcake}}s, {{wp|acorn}}s, {{wp|mushroom}}s, {{wp|corn}} (which turns into {{wp|popcorn}} if shocked by Pikachu), {{wp|carrot}}s, {{wp|onion}}s, {{wp|herbs}}, {{wp|radish}}es, {{wp|apple}}s, and {{wp|banana}}s. Other things are edible even though they are not typically eaten as food, such as {{wp|flowers}} and other {{wp|plants}}.

In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Berries are often the common food source for Pokémon as well as their form of currency. A number of Pokémon can be befriended by offering them a large Berry. Iron ores are also considered a food source for the {{p|Aron}} in the game.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gluttonous Emolga.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Iris's Emolga]] eating apples]]
[[File:Slowking eating.png|thumb|200px|A {{p|Slowking}} drinking milk from a {{wp|coconut}}]]
Pokémon food has appeared in the anime as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a sort of kibble. It is available for purchase in cans, as seen briefly in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]''. Several [[Pokémon Trainer]]s will make their own, especially {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s and [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s like {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}. It is shown to be suitable for human consumption, but the flavor is not always agreeable with humans, as shown by the fact that [[Seymour]] was able to eat it without any problem, but {{Ash}} tried some and reacted badly. Good Pokémon food tastes great to Pokémon, however.

Brock often offers his homemade Pokémon food to try to gain a Pokémon's trust if it seems to be unfriendly or scared, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending. Most Pokémon are extremely fond of the food he makes, with the exception of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' which outright refused it (although it's possible it realized it was a trap and refused to take the bait).

Pokémon are also known to consume food that is meant for people, such as [[rice ball]]s. In fact, some Pokémon, such as [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]], loved to eat these more than anything else. As shown by {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, [[Ash's Taillow]] and {{MTR}}, Pokémon are also able to eat chocolate without any ill effects.

Some Pokémon also eat food which would not be eaten by humans, such the {{p|Aron}} and {{p|Lairon}} that were shown to eat iron in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Eating other Pokémon==
In early Pokémon games, it seems that most Pokémon were somewhat more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like, prey-predator system. For example: [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}} says that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" This is also touched upon in its {{2v2|Red|Blue}} Pokédex entries, stating its predator-prey relationship to Magikarp. The hand book also mentions {{p|Golbat}} drinking the blood of its enemies, which is noted in most of its in-game Pokédex entries as well.

In the [[original series]] episode ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', {{AP|Pidgeotto}} immediately began to peck at {{AP|Ash's Caterpie|Butterfree}} when Ash first attempted to catch the [[Flying (type)|Bird]] Pokémon. Misty took notice and warned Ash that Pidgeotto might try to eat Caterpie, who was quickly returned to his Poké Ball. Pidgeotto never attempted to harm Caterpie again once it had been captured by Ash.

At one point during ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', a hunger-stricken {{TR|Meowth}} attempted to eat [[James's Magikarp]], only to have its hard scales break his teeth. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', one of [[Nastina]]'s complaints about {{p|Tentacool}} is that they aren't edible. Before its capture in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', [[Ash's Snorlax]] attempted to eat [[Misty's Goldeen]] when they were trying to prevent Snorlax from eating all the {{wp|grapefruit}} on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]].

According to the Pokédex, {{p|Farfetch'd}} is so rare because it has been hunted down for food and makes a rather delicious meal.

In the games, {{p|Ekans}}'s favorite food is indicated to be the eggs of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}}. {{p|Kingler}}, known for their powerful pincer, have been documented in its Pokédex to prey on both {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}} by prying open their shells. Before their extinction due to their shells becoming too heavy, {{p|Omastar}} were also believed to have preyed on Shellder; ensnaring them, cracking open their shell and then sucking out the insides.

The {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} Pokédex entry for {{p|Taillow}} claims they feed on {{p|Wurmple}}. This is further explored in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], when Wurmple of Team Tasty thinks its partner, {{p|Swellow}}, the evolved form of {{p|Taillow}}, will eventually eat it. Swellow, however, seems mortified at the idea of eating his teammate. In a similar fashion, {{p|Cherubi}} is also mentioned to be preyed upon by its regional bird Pokémon {{p|Starly}}. In its Pokédex entries, the ball-like appendage is described as being "very sweet and tasty," and that Starly will try to peck it off and eat it as well. While Starly is not eating Cherubi itself like Taillow does Wurmple, it still draws a parallel between the two.

{{p|Heatmor}}'s {{2v2|Black|White}} Pokédex entries state that it preys on {{p|Durant}}.

{{p|Scatterbug}}'s [[Pokémon X and Y|X]] Pokédex entry states that bird Pokémon will try to prey on it.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], several Meowth can be seen chasing {{p|Pidgey}} at various points on the [[Pokémon Island Beach|Beach]]. Near the end of the course, one can be witnessed lurking around a Pidgey nest before it is {{m|Gust|attacked}} by the Pidgey which roost there. Since Meowth are cats and Pidgey are birds, the Pidgey and their nest are likely being targeted by the Meowth for food.

===Pokémon parasitically feeding off other Pokémon===
Other cases of Pokémon preying on each other involve more parasitic means. This includes sucking blood, sap, energy or life force from another Pokémon. This is seen with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish.

[[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]
On numerous occasions, Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} has targeted his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb for sap. Even in the heat of battle, it will quickly pin down Bulbasaur and help itself to the sap inside. While not malicious or particularly harmful in nature, this still annoys and causes Bulbasaur discomfort to no end; Heracross seems to be indifferent to this fact however.

In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', a {{p|Joltik}} latched onto [[Ash's Pikachu]] and drained his electricity. Trying to aid Pikachu, Cilan and Iris decide to send out [[Cilan's Stunfisk|Stunfisk]] and [[Iris's Emolga|Emolga]], only to find out that more Joltik have unknowingly latched themselves onto their Poké Balls and drained the Pokémon from the outside-in.

==Eating non-Pokémon animals==
There are some examples and suggestions that [[Animals in the Pokémon world|non-Pokémon animals]] preyed on by some Pokémon. The Pokédex entries for {{p|Venonat}} and {{p|Venomoth}} mention them preying on small insects. {{p|Horsea}} is also mentioned to eat bugs and flying insects it shoots down with its ink. Both {{p|Weepinbell}} and {{p|Victreebel}} are known as flycatcher Pokémon, and the latter is mentioned to use the {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet aroma}} of its honey to lure prey such as bugs, as well as large animals. It is even hinted that Victreebel eat humans who venture into the jungle in search of a large Victreebel colony. {{p|Wailord}} has multiple Pokédex entries suggesting it eats {{wp|plankton}}, {{wp|zooplanton}} and {{wp|krill}}, which are small and microscopic plants and animals. Swimming on the sea floor in prehistoric times, {{p|Omanyte}} would eat plankton.

Examples of this also appeared from time to time in the [[original series]] of the anime. Before being [[catch|caught]], {{AP|Ash's Pidgeotto|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a {{wp|worm}}. In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', a statue based on fossil remains shows {{p|Kabutops}} preying on a large {{wp|fish}}. {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]] has also been seen fantasizing about fish, and eating animal based foods such as clams and fried chicken.

==Humans eating Pokémon==
Meat is often shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but while it has never been directly shown to come from Pokémon, no other food source has yet been explained. It is known that some Pokémon produce edible foods and by-products such as milk, nuts and fruit. These can be safely harvested with little or no harm or discomfort to the Pokémon. However, it has been mentioned that some Pokémon are hunted and used for their meat: {{p|Farfetch'd}} in particular are noted for making a good meal, especially when cooked with leek, and were nearly hunted to extinction because of this, ultimately leading to their rareness.

During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Slowpoke_Tail#SlowpokeTail|tails]] and then selling them as a rare delicacy. It is indicated that the tail is not eaten, but is sucked or lightly chewed on; similar to the manner in which a person would enjoy {{wp|Honeysuckle}}.

While visiting the [[Canalave Library]], it is revealed in the [[Sinnoh_myths#Sinnoh_Folk_Tales|Sinnoh Folk Tales]] that Pokémon caught from the sea are eaten, and then the bones thrown back into the water. It is also mentioned that the Pokémon that were eaten will return fully fleshed.

[[File:Edible Magikarp.png|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} imagining a cooked {{p|Magikarp}}.]]
In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Ash and friends, along with Team Rocket are stranded in the middle of the ocean without food. Eventually, due to their hunger and the dire nature of their situation, Ash and Brock began to discuss and fantasize about eating {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados|James's Magikarp}}. Unfortunately for them and {{TR|Meowth}} in particular, Magikarp's body composition renders it nearly inedible. Misty elaborates on this, stating that Magikarp are nothing more than scale and bone, thus there would be little sustenance obtained.

In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', [[Harley]] has a flashback in which a class mate (who looks like {{an|May}}) stole his "snackie", which bore a resemblance to tiny {{p|Octillery}}, similar to the octopi served in some real-life restaurants. It is unknown if these were actual Octillery, or just food prepared and shaped to look like them.

It is possible, based on wording used in {{p|Cherubi}}'s Pokédex entry, that humans, not just Pokémon have eaten Cherubi's ball-like appendage before. Also, according to its {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} Pokédex entry, {{p|Basculin}} are remarkably tasty, indicating humans have eaten them as well. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]]'s entry states that {{p|Seadra}}'s fins and bones are used in herbal medicine.

===Food produced by Pokémon===
Some species of Pokémon are known to produce various kinds of food which can be safely consumed by humans and other Pokémon, presumably without the Pokémon in question being killed and consumed in the process.

* {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}} are capable of laying eggs that are delicious and nutritious for humans and Pokémon.
* Certain {{type|Grass}} Pokémon such as {{p|Grotle}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Tropius}} are able to grow edible nuts, berries and other fruit on their bodies. While Pokémon always enjoy these, the same cannot always be said for humans. The food that Grotle produces, for example, tastes bad to humans.
* {{p|Shuckle}} are well known for storing certain kinds of Berries in their shells, which slowly ferment into juice. The juice has special properties if consumed by humans and Pokémon, and, as once demonstrated in the anime, can be used to make love potion.
* The fungus of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}} can be used to make [[potion]]s and medicine.
* {{p|Miltank}} produce {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} which can be bought in the games and used as a healing item. It is stated in both the games and the anime to be both nutritious and delicious. It is also stated in the games that it is said kids who drink it will become hearty, healthy adults. In the anime, groups of Miltank are often kept to produce the milk not only for drinking, but also for the milk used to make dairy products as part of a business.
* {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Vespiquen}} gather nectar from flowers to produce [[Honey]] which is savored by various species of Pokémon, such as {{p|Mothim}} who steal it.

==Dietary change==
[[File:Pokemonfood.png|thumb|right|160px|Fossilized seed remains of Aerodactyl's favorite food in ancient times]]
Over time, most mention of Pokémon being eaten by either Humans or Pokémon in any manner has become increasingly rare. This may be due to moral issues; as the anime and games progressed, Pokémon became seemingly more human-like. This included displaying individual personalities, human mannerisms, and complex emotions. In most cultures and societies, the idea of human beings eating each other is strictly taboo, so much so that even the idea of fictional creatures eating one another would seem equally cannibalistic if they possessed any human qualities.

Some Pokémon have even been given new dietary habits, possibly in an attempt to downplay any predatory behaviors. An example of this would be {{p|Aerodactyl}}, which was originally suggested to be {{wp|carnivore|carnivorous}}, but is later shown to eat fruit. In the [[original series]], Ash's Pokédex states "Its hard fangs suggest it might have been a carnivore. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey." Even in the games, Aerodactyl's Pokédex entries mention it tearing the throats out of its enemies. In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Aerodactyl was even shown going for Ash's throat. However, in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', the fossilized Aerodactyl egg {{Gary}} used to resurrect the Pokémon was found near fossilized seed remains. After Aerodactyl escaped, it was only calmed down when fed a pear-like fruit that was a similar DNA match to the seeds. This would imply that Aerodactyl regularly fed on the fruit, taking it to their nests, thus implying that they were {{wp|frugivore|frugivores}}, or at the very least {{wp|omnivore|omnivores}}.

The Sackinator: /* Eating other Pokémon */

{{search|food that Pokémon consume|Pokémon food products in the real world|Pokémon food products}}
----
[[File:Cilan cookware.png|thumb|right|240px|Cilan's cookware as he is about to cook]]
'''Pokémon food''' is a broad term used for almost any food a [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] eats. Despite the variety of both Pokémon and Pokémon food, nearly every Pokémon will eat any kind of Pokémon food. This may mean that the majority of Pokémon are {{wp|Omnivore|omnivorous}}. Several species are even capable of consuming things not normally viewed as edible from a human perspective, such as minerals, electrical energy or even dreams and emotions. Some species have been said to eat other Pokémon, or be eaten by Pokémon and Humans alike, forming a {{wp|food chain}}.

==In the games==
===Main series games===
====Bait====
Introduced in the [[Generation I]] games and used in [[Safari Zone]]s, this food will make a [[wild Pokémon]] less likely to run away but more difficult to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]]. An unlimited supply of Bait is provided for use in the Safari Zone.

====Drinks====
{{main|Drink}}
Introduced in the [[Generation I]] games, drinks can be bought from vending machines and can be used to heal Pokémon in much the same way that [[Potion]]s can at a fraction of the price.

====Berries====
{{main|Berry}}
Introduced in the [[Generation II]] games, Berries are a type of item which, unlike [[Potion]]s or [[Vitamin]]s, are portrayed as food rather than {{wp|Medication|medicine}}. A Pokémon may hold this item and, if needed, eat it during a {{pkmn|battle}} to heal itself or cause other effects. In Generation III onwards, these can be planted and harvested by the {{player}}. These Berries have names and design basis on real fruits and vegetables.

====Pokéblock====
{{main|Pokéblock}}
Featured in the [[Generation III]] games, Pokéblocks are a type of candy which are blended from Berries and given to a Pokémon to raise its condition in several areas. The flavor, level, and feel of the Pokéblock is determined by the ingredients which compose it and how well it is blended.

A Pokémon can only eat a certain number of Pokéblocks before it is full and cannot eat any more. A Pokéblock with lower feel will fill up the Pokémon less than one with greater feel.

Pokéblocks can also be put on a feeder in the {{safari|Hoenn}} to lure [[wild Pokémon]] out. After being there for a while, however, the Pokéblock will eventually be eaten. It can also be used in encounters in the Safari Zone in the same manner as bait.

====Poffin====
{{main|Poffin}}
Featured in [[Generation IV]], Poffins are similar to Pokéblocks. A Poffin will raise the condition of a Pokémon in at least one of five categories: Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty, and Cool. The flavor and feel of a Poffin is still taken into account just as in a Pokéblock. The main difference is that Poffins are pastries and Pokéblocks are candy. In the anime, Dawn bakes poffins for her Pokémon.

====Honey====
{{main|Honey}}
Featured in [[Generation IV]], Honey can be slathered onto a Honey tree to attract wild Pokémon. It works similarly to Pokéblocks in the Safari Zone; it can be placed in a specific location and will disappear (presumably eaten) after some time. However, only one Pokémon can be found on a honey tree for one Honey slathered onto it. If used in tall grass, it has the same effect as the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}. In the anime, Barry used this method to capture his Heracross.

====Aprijuice====
{{main|Apriblender}}
Apricorns were introduced in [[Generation II]], where their sole use was to create custom [[Poké Ball]]s. In the remakes of the Generation II games, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Apricorns can be blended into drinks called Aprijuice. These drinks will raise a Pokémon's [[Pokéathlon]] stats: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

====Poké Puffs====
{{main|Pokémon-Amie#Poké Puffs|Pokémon-Amie}}
Featured in [[Generation VI]], Poké Puffs are small cake-like confections that can be fed to Pokémon to increase their Affection. Poké Puffs are obtained by beating mini-games or received from visiting Pokémon. They come in the following flavors: Citrus, Mocha, Spice, Mint, and Sweet.

====Other items====
A few items that appear to be made for human consumption are supposed to be given to Pokémon to heal them. These items are normally found or sold in certain locations and are considered specialties of those places. These items include the [[RageCandyBar]] of the [[Lake of Rage]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lava Cookie}} of [[Lavaridge Town]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Old Gateau}} of the [[Old Chateau]], the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Casteliacone}} of [[Castelia City]] and the {{DL|Status condition healing item|Lumiose Galette}} of [[Lumiose City]].

===Spin-off games===
[[File:MeowthEatApple.png|frame|200px|right|{{p|Meowth}} eating Pokémon food in the shape of an apple]]
====Apple-shaped Pokémon food====
In [[Pokémon Snap]], one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon food in the shape of an apple. These are unlimited, and the {{player}} can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon, causing them to {{DL|Status condition|flinch}}, [[fainting|faint]], or become upset.

[[Professor Oak]] will provide the player with Pokémon food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

Different types of [[Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Apples]] are available in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Poké Snacks====
These are used in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] to lure [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Poké Spot]]s. They look like a slice of a yellow cake, with each slice being one-tenth of the cake. Up to ten can be placed at each Poké Spot.

Sometimes a {{p|Munchlax}} will appear at a Poké Spot. When this happens, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} will arrive, apologize, and give ten new Poké Snacks for any the Munchlax may have eaten. Other times, a {{p|Bonsly}} will appear, running away unless the player approaches it slowly. If it runs away, it will be seen at a different Poké Spot.

Poké Snacks can be purchased from Poké Marts for {{PDollar}}300 after the player talks to Duking in his house in Pyrite Town.

====Mystery Dungeon food====
{{main|Food (Mystery Dungeon)}}
There are a variety of different kinds of Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], such as apples, [[Gummi]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], [[Seed]]s and [[health drink]]s.

====Other food====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] there are many more different kinds of food than in other Pokémon games. There are foods such as {{wp|cupcake}}s, {{wp|acorn}}s, {{wp|mushroom}}s, {{wp|corn}} (which turns into {{wp|popcorn}} if shocked by Pikachu), {{wp|carrot}}s, {{wp|onion}}s, {{wp|herbs}}, {{wp|radish}}es, {{wp|apple}}s, and {{wp|banana}}s. Other things are edible even though they are not typically eaten as food, such as {{wp|flowers}} and other {{wp|plants}}.

In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Berries are often the common food source for Pokémon as well as their form of currency. A number of Pokémon can be befriended by offering them a large Berry. Iron ores are also considered a food source for the {{p|Aron}} in the game.

Some Pokémon also eat food which would not be eaten by humans, such the {{p|Aron}} and {{p|Lairon}} that were shown to eat iron in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Eating other Pokémon==
In early Pokémon games, it seems that most Pokémon were somewhat more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like, prey-predator system. For example: [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}} says that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" This is also touched upon in its {{2v2|Red|Blue}} Pokédex entries, stating its predator-prey relationship to Magikarp. The hand book also mentions {{p|Golbat}} drinking the blood of its enemies, which is noted in most of its in-game Pokédex entries as well.

In the [[original series]] episode ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]'', {{AP|Pidgeotto}} immediately began to peck at {{AP|Ash's Caterpie|Butterfree}} when Ash first attempted to catch the [[Flying (type)|Bird]] Pokémon. Misty took notice and warned Ash that Pidgeotto might try to eat Caterpie, who was quickly returned to his Poké Ball. Pidgeotto never attempted to harm Caterpie again once it had been captured by Ash.

At one point during ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', a hunger stricken {{TR|Meowth}} attempted to eat [[James's Magikarp]], only to have its hard scales break his teeth. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', one of [[Nastina]]'s complaints about {{p|Tentacool}} is that they aren't edible. Before its capture in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', [[Ash's Snorlax]] attempted to eat [[Misty's Goldeen]] when they were trying to prevent Snorlax from eating all the {{wp|grapefruit}} on the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands]].

According to the Pokédex, {{p|Farfetch'd}} is so rare because it has been hunted down for food and makes a rather delicious meal.

In the games, {{p|Ekans}}'s favorite food is indicated to be the eggs of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}}. {{p|Kingler}}, known for their powerful pincer, have been documented in its Pokédex to prey on both {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}} by prying open their shells. Before their extinction due to their shells becoming too heavy, {{p|Omastar}} were also believed to have preyed on Shellder; ensnaring them, cracking open their shell and then sucking out the insides.

The {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} Pokédex entry for {{p|Taillow}} claims they feed on {{p|Wurmple}}. This is further explored in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], when Wurmple of Team Tasty thinks its partner, {{p|Swellow}}, the evolved form of {{p|Taillow}}, will eventually eat it. Swellow, however, seems mortified at the idea of eating his teammate. In a similar fashion, {{p|Cherubi}} is also mentioned to be preyed upon by its regional bird Pokémon {{p|Starly}}. In its Pokédex entries, the ball-like appendage is described as being "very sweet and tasty," and that Starly will try to peck it off and eat it as well. While Starly is not eating Cherubi itself like Taillow does Wurmple, it still draws a parallel between the two.

{{p|Heatmor}}'s {{2v2|Black|White}} Pokédex entries state that it preys on {{p|Durant}}.

{{p|Scatterbug}}'s [[Pokémon X and Y|X]] Pokédex entry states that bird Pokémon will try to prey on it.

In [[Pokémon Snap]], several Meowth can be seen chasing {{p|Pidgey}} at various points on the [[Pokémon Island Beach|Beach]]. Near the end of the course, one can be witnessed lurking around a Pidgey nest before it is {{m|Gust|attacked}} by the Pidgey which roost there. Since Meowth are cats and Pidgey are birds, the Pidgey and their nest are likely being targeted by the Meowth for food.

===Pokémon parasitically feeding off other Pokémon===
Other cases of Pokémon preying on each other involve more parasitic means. This includes sucking blood, sap, energy or life force from another Pokémon. This is seen with {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish.

[[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|250px|Heracross eating Bulbasaur's sap]]
On numerous occasions, Ash's {{AP|Heracross}} has targeted his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb for sap. Even in the heat of battle, it will quickly pin down Bulbasaur and help itself to the sap inside. While not malicious or particularly harmful in nature, this still annoys and causes Bulbasaur discomfort to no end; Heracross seems to be indifferent to this fact however.

In ''[[BW062|Crisis at Chargestone Cave!]]'', a {{p|Joltik}} latched onto [[Ash's Pikachu]] and drained his electricity. Trying to aid Pikachu, Cilan and Iris decide to send out [[Cilan's Stunfisk|Stunfisk]] and [[Iris's Emolga|Emolga]], only to find out that more Joltik have unknowingly latched themselves onto their Poké Balls and drained the Pokémon from the outside-in.

==Eating non-Pokémon animals==
There are some examples and suggestions that [[Animals in the Pokémon world|non-Pokémon animals]] preyed on by some Pokémon. The Pokédex entries for {{p|Venonat}} and {{p|Venomoth}} mention them preying on small insects. {{p|Horsea}} is also mentioned to eat bugs and flying insects it shoots down with its ink. Both {{p|Weepinbell}} and {{p|Victreebel}} are known as flycatcher Pokémon, and the latter is mentioned to use the {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet aroma}} of its honey to lure prey such as bugs, as well as large animals. It is even hinted that Victreebel eat humans who venture into the jungle in search of a large Victreebel colony. {{p|Wailord}} has multiple Pokédex entries suggesting it eats {{wp|plankton}}, {{wp|zooplanton}} and {{wp|krill}}, which are small and microscopic plants and animals. Swimming on the sea floor in prehistoric times, {{p|Omanyte}} would eat plankton.

Examples of this also appeared from time to time in the [[original series]] of the anime. Before being [[catch|caught]], {{AP|Ash's Pidgeotto|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a {{wp|worm}}. In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', a statue based on fossil remains shows {{p|Kabutops}} preying on a large {{wp|fish}}. {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]] has also been seen fantasizing about fish, and eating animal based foods such as clams and fried chicken.

==Humans eating Pokémon==
Meat is often shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but while it has never been directly shown to come from Pokémon, no other food source has yet been explained. It is known that some Pokémon produce edible foods and by-products such as milk, nuts and fruit. These can be safely harvested with little or no harm or discomfort to the Pokémon. However, it has been mentioned that some Pokémon are hunted and used for their meat: {{p|Farfetch'd}} in particular are noted for making a good meal, especially when cooked with leek, and were nearly hunted to extinction because of this, ultimately leading to their rareness.

During a story arc within the [[Gen II]] games and their remakes, the newly reformed Team Rocket begin stealing {{p|Slowpoke}}, cutting off their [[Slowpoke_Tail#SlowpokeTail|tails]] and then selling them as a rare delicacy. It is indicated that the tail is not eaten, but is sucked or lightly chewed on; similar to the manner in which a person would enjoy {{wp|Honeysuckle}}.

While visiting the [[Canalave Library]], it is revealed in the [[Sinnoh_myths#Sinnoh_Folk_Tales|Sinnoh Folk Tales]] that Pokémon caught from the sea are eaten, and then the bones thrown back into the water. It is also mentioned that the Pokémon that were eaten will return fully fleshed.

[[File:Edible Magikarp.png|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} imagining a cooked {{p|Magikarp}}.]]
In ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', Ash and friends, along with Team Rocket are stranded in the middle of the ocean without food. Eventually, due to their hunger and the dire nature of their situation, Ash and Brock began to discuss and fantasize about eating {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados|James's Magikarp}}. Unfortunately for them and {{TR|Meowth}} in particular, Magikarp's body composition renders it nearly inedible. Misty elaborates on this, stating that Magikarp are nothing more than scale and bone, thus there would be little sustenance obtained.

In ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', [[Harley]] has a flashback in which a class mate (who looks like {{an|May}}) stole his "snackie", which bore a resemblance to tiny {{p|Octillery}}, similar to the octopi served in some real-life restaurants. It is unknown if these were actual Octillery, or just food prepared and shaped to look like them.

It is possible, based on wording used in {{p|Cherubi}}'s Pokédex entry, that humans, not just Pokémon have eaten Cherubi's ball-like appendage before. Also, according to its {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} Pokédex entry, {{p|Basculin}} are remarkably tasty, indicating humans have eaten them as well. [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]]'s entry states that {{p|Seadra}}'s fins and bones are used in herbal medicine.

===Food produced by Pokémon===
Some species of Pokémon are known to produce various kinds of food which can be safely consumed by humans and other Pokémon, presumably without the Pokémon in question being killed and consumed in the process.

* {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}} are capable of laying eggs that are delicious and nutritious for humans and Pokémon.
* Certain {{type|Grass}} Pokémon such as {{p|Grotle}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Tropius}} are able to grow edible nuts, berries and other fruit on their bodies. While Pokémon always enjoy these, the same cannot always be said for humans. The food that Grotle produces, for example, tastes bad to humans.
* {{p|Shuckle}} are well known for storing certain kinds of Berries in their shells, which slowly ferment into juice. The juice has special properties if consumed by humans and Pokémon, and, as once demonstrated in the anime, can be used to make love potion.
* The fungus of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}} can be used to make [[potion]]s and medicine.
* {{p|Miltank}} produce {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} which can be bought in the games and used as a healing item. It is stated in both the games and the anime to be both nutritious and delicious. It is also stated in the games that it is said kids who drink it will become hearty, healthy adults. In the anime, groups of Miltank are often kept to produce the milk not only for drinking, but also for the milk used to make dairy products as part of a business.
* {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Vespiquen}} gather nectar from flowers to produce [[Honey]] which is savored by various species of Pokémon, such as {{p|Mothim}} who steal it.

==Dietary change==
[[File:Pokemonfood.png|thumb|right|160px|Fossilized seed remains of Aerodactyl's favorite food in ancient times]]
Over time, most mention of Pokémon being eaten by either Humans or Pokémon in any manner has become increasingly rare. This may be due to moral issues; as the anime and games progressed, Pokémon became seemingly more human-like. This included displaying individual personalities, human mannerisms, and complex emotions. In most cultures and societies, the idea of human beings eating each other is strictly taboo, so much so that even the idea of fictional creatures eating one another would seem equally cannibalistic if they possessed any human qualities.

Some Pokémon have even been given new dietary habits, possibly in an attempt to downplay any predatory behaviors. An example of this would be {{p|Aerodactyl}}, which was originally suggested to be {{wp|carnivore|carnivorous}}, but is later shown to eat fruit. In the [[original series]], Ash's Pokédex states "Its hard fangs suggest it might have been a carnivore. Its sharp claws were probably used to capture prey." Even in the games, Aerodactyl's Pokédex entries mention it tearing the throats out of its enemies. In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Aerodactyl was even shown going for Ash's throat. However, in ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', the fossilized Aerodactyl egg {{Gary}} used to resurrect the Pokémon was found near fossilized seed remains. After Aerodactyl escaped, it was only calmed down when fed a pear-like fruit that was a similar DNA match to the seeds. This would imply that Aerodactyl regularly fed on the fruit, taking it to their nests, thus implying that they were {{wp|frugivore|frugivores}}, or at the very least {{wp|omnivore|omnivores}}.

The Sackinator: /* The comment regarding PEGI */

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

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please sign your comments with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

== Sorry! ==

Glinn Mgraw, I'm sorry for editing the post so many times; I promise I will try to be more cautious from now on.
But talking about the post, if you watch with attention the introductory video of EP001 and the one from Pokémon Red (JP) and Green and compare it with the international versions of Pokémon Red and Blue, you'll see that the sounds heard when Nidorino and Gengar move are slightly different in the Japanese and international versions, meaning that the Japanese games' introductory video is the right correspondence to the one shown in EP001.

== [[Pokébeach]] ==

Please don't go inserting information about Pokébeach's demise if such an event is not confirmed. Yes, the site is giving me 403 Forbidden errors right now, but that doesn't mean the site's shut down permanently. Last I heard, these difficulties are due to a server move, not a site shutdown (which your edits were implying).

Trust me, I've been fooled by a similar incident sometime prior to the {{TCG|Majestic Dawn}} release. That incident crippled, but didn't kill, the site. If Pokébeach managed to survive after a much worse catastrophe, don't assume it's not going to survive something much more minor. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:34, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

:::If that incident has taught me anything, it's never assume the site is dead unless the webmaster himself says so and it's for real. As far as I can tell, there's been no such event. Unless the webmaster comes out and says Pokébeach is dead for real (and not an April Fools' coverup), assume Pokébeach will be back. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 18:56, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

== SIC e Panda Biggs ====
Olá! Podes ver o Pokémon ao Sábado e ao Domingo por volta das 7:20 da manhã (às vezes o horário muda um bocado, mas é só uma questão de no dia anterior ir a www.sic.pt). Em relação ao Panda Biggs, eles estão a tentar comprar os direitos, mas não à SIC, sim à Shogakukan. Caso o Panda Biggs consiga os direitos, a SIC não os perde, continuando a transmitir os episódios. É provável que a SIC passe os episódios recentes, enquanto o Panda Biggs passa séries antigas. Em relação ao tratamento da SIC ao Pokémon (que tem sido MUITO mau, diga-se de passagem), um raio de luz surgiu recentemente, que é o de agora o Pokémon na SIC ter um patrocinador! É verdade, a Giochi Preziosi está a patrocinar o Pokémon desde Sábado passado! Assim, havendo alguém a dar dinheiro para que passe Pokémon, é muito provável que a SIC comece a tratar melhor o Pokémon! E quando o Panda Biggs conseguir os direitos (espero que consiga!), vamos ter Pokémon dos dois lados, ou seja, só ficamos a ganhar :D Outra coisa, em relação ao Panda Biggs só dar na ZON, a verdade é que eles NÃO têm um contrato de exclusividade. A ZON apenas foi a única companhia que manifestou interesse no canal. Mas, ao que parece, também a Cabovisão já manifestou interesse no Canal! Em relação à Meo, há uns boatos que dizem que também já manifestaram interesse, mas não sei de nada ao certo. (vai a este blog http://animepokemonpt.blogspot.com/ que ficas a saber muitas coisas spobre isto tudo) [[User:Portuguese Old Man|Portuguese Old Man]] 20:12, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

== About the evolutionary lines ==

From like two weeks ago but whatever.

Past an evolutionary branch, we don't need to indicate the branch anymore. A Gardevoir can never become a Gallade, but as a Ralts or a Kirlia it still can become one. A Wurmple can become either Silcoon or Cascoon, and further either Beautifly or Dustox, but once it evolves past the branch there's no going back, and thus no need to link to Pokémon that it can never become. If you've got a Slowpoke, you wanna know which moveset is better, Slowbro or Slowking... but if you have a Slowking already, why do you care about Slowbro's details?

Kindly simply leave them in the order they are.

Uh, that's indeed the same theme. Then I don't know what the other one is, however I'm certain that it's not a beta leftover or an unused thing. I don't know what triggers it but it surely requires using Mobile Adapter. It's impossible to check now (unless we ask some Japanese fan).

Why not put alignment in the same style like this?:

== Names. ==

Hello. If a game has an article, there's no need to put its Japanese name right next to it; especially when you're linking to it. It's just redundant that way. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 22:51, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
:I know it is. But it makes the article more professional and encyclopedic because it already gives the Japanese name(s) in comparison to its English name(s) and because you cannot expect the reader to click on the links just because they're there.

== {{m|Fury Swipes}} Translation ==
The words mean what they mean. ''Midare'' is "disturbed" and ''Hikkaki'' is "scratching." I'm not undoing it because I'll leave it to the higher-ups to decide, but you might as well change {{m|Fury Attack}} as well while you're at it.
P.S. We tend to leave Japanese translations literal. Exhibit A: [[Pokémon 2000]]'s hilarious Japanese subtitle, "Lugia's Explosive Birth!" --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|IWannaBeTheVeryBest]] ([[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|talk]]) 22:49, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

== Move Translations ==

Hello. I noticed you have been changing the translations for some of the moves, such as {{m|Fire Punch}} and {{m|Pay Day}}, as well as adding tt templates, creating new redirects, and marking other redirects for deletion. Thanks for adding the tt templates and the new redirects, but please do not mark the old redirects for deletion. As far as changing the translations goes, please contact {{u|Umeko}} before changing anymore of them. We appreciate the effort for more accurate translations, but they need to be discussed first. Thanks for understanding. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 00:53, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
:The tt templates are the same as those in the infobox. As to the translations themselves, Umeko has been inactive but I'll try contacting her via e-mail. But what exact issues are there with marking old redirects for deletion? Aren't they just used for those who type in the translated Japanese names? If so, the old redirects are incorrect and should be deleted to avoid encouraging mistranslations. I will refrain from doing more changes now until I get word from Umeko but I'd like to know what issues could there possibly be with this. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 01:19, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
::Our users will need time to adjust to the changes. For example, if a long time user attempts to search for an old redirect they will be told that the page no longer exists. This would cause them problems as they may not know how to reach the page if, for example, they are not familiar with the English names and are instead only familiar with our existing disambiguation pages. It is also possible that they may be led to believe that a page for the move they are searching for no longer exists at all.

== Translations ==

Hi, hearing that you've been translating things here, I thought I'd ask if you'd consider helping to translate some of the songs on this wiki. Some of them have [[Please_Let_There_Be_Good_Weather_Tomorrow|bad]] or [[Side_by_Side|very bad]] translations, and some have [[Flexible_Gas_Gas|none at all]]. As such, there's certainly a lot of improvement that could be done. If you're not interested in them, that's fine too, but I thought I'd ask in case you are at least. :) [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] ([[User talk:Bluesun|talk]]) 17:36, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
:My knowledge is very limited in order for me to translate so much text. And because I suggest that we avoid bad translations, it's a task for Umeko or someone else with actual and broad Japanese knowledge. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 19:07, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

== Source ==

You removed the move errors because "there is no source". Are you indirectly saying that you watched those episodes in Japanese and heard the same moves as in the dub? It's obviously a requirement to watch a episode before removing/adding anything regarding to it.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 22:10, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
:I don't have access to the episodes but I got the info from someone who does. There are no errors. And it's better to ''not'' list them if they aren't confirmed, don't you think? If false, it is misleading people. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 22:14, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

== "Fureai" ==

The word itself means closer to "mutual contact". It isn't limited to just physical contact. It can also refer to emotional connection, as referenced in the English name. While 触れ合い動物園 does translate to "petting zoo", I don't think the meaning of the word is limited to just that. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 13:14, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
:But Amity Square is for strolling and interacting with Pokémon within the boundaries of a limited area, similar to petting zoos. So "Petting Square" is perfectly accurate. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 14:16, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

== Regarding Changing Translations ==

Please refrain from changing any of the translations on this site until {{u|Umeko}}, our head of translation, has issued an opinion on them. Also, edit summaries such as [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Amity_Square&diff=1861789&oldid=1861657 this] are not appropriate.

:Japanese translations are by using WWWJDIC/Denshi Jisho, looking at what the move does, how it is described and deducing an accurate string. I'd like to use Nihongo Kokugo Daijiten more but I haven't found a way to properly search its database yet. Some things also take further investigation to see what they are associated to, like Cut's Japanese name, Iaigiri, being associated to Iaido but literally meaning "cut with sword", as seen in a Japanese Guiness entry about a Iaido master who managed to cut a tennis ball very swiftly (最速テニスボール居合斬り ''Fastest tennis ball cut by sword'').

== The comment regarding PEGI ==

Hello! After looking at your talk page, I see that you are more experienced than I am in regards to Bulbapedia, so I understand that you may know things I don't. But here are my thoughts about the comment regarding PEGI: According to the comment, PEGI's website doesn't say it's been rated, but Pokémon.com UK says otherwise. To me, it seems that Pokémon.com UK made a mistake or something. If this is true—and it may be false—then it seems to me that even those who do not edit Bulbapedia could glean somewhat relevant information—at least as relevant as the attention-grabbing "Trivia" sections used in many articles. Is there anything I'm not seeing and/or seeing incorrectly? Thanks! —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 21:11, 23 December 2014 (UTC)
:Well, it's true I have been here for a while but I'm by no means a [[Bulbapedia:Staff|staff member]] so you should direct your question to them ([[User:SnorlaxMonster|SnorlaxMonster]], for example). Personally, I think the comment is only important for editors because it's there to warn anyone who might be willing to change the information. The usage of tooltips is discouraged, especially if it's applied to full sentences. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 21:26, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

::::To help with full disclosure, SatoMew2 created a thread at [[Bulbapedia talk:Manual of style/Kanji#Tooltip usage|this location]] suggesting that removing their use as standard might be the way to go. I can't predict the conclusion of that discussion, but it seems clear to me that, in terms of an involved editor, that means SatoMew2 is in favour of not using tooltips at all. That said, until a policy is put into place barring their use, I can see how a tooltip might serve useful to a casual reader. Reviewing the edit now, here's my take:

::::I know nothing about how classifications work in the UK. However, if it were something I was concerned about as a parent of a child in the UK and I did not know anything about video games at all - much less Pokémon - I'd be interested upon reading this that our Web site is making note of this classification. If I then looked up the PEGI Web site to verify the claim, it clearly cannot be verified if they don't show it as classified. Therefore, we should not be publishing a rating at all. It might be worth externally contacting PEGI and providing them with a link to the Pokémon UK source and let them figure it out, and then we follow up on what they do. In my opinion, therefore, the rating should be completely removed and it be labeled unrated because PEGI claims it's unrated and we're referencing PEGI.

::::This, however, is just my opinion. If you want to involve a staff member to give a better ruling, you can enlist [[User:Jo_The_Marten|Jo The Marten]], the head of Games, to get such an opinion. Note that with the holiday season now underway that there could be a delay in response, so if you do that, post your request and be very clear, and link back here. My opinion will also be considered with yours and whatever Jo determines (unless someone like Kogoro intervenes) is law.

:::::Sorry to butt in, but PEGI's only been in existence since 2003. RBYGSC can't have been rated. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:11, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::That's what we're debating, Abcboy. Apparently a Pokémon UK site is claiming it is. It's entirely possible PEGI didn't update on their end, but it's also possible Pokémon UK made the mistake. This needs to be figured out so we put the correct information. Because it's pre-2003, that's why I said it should be listed as unrated. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:22, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

:::::::As I think about it, my thoughts are currently this: Since there is conflicting official sources with the "more official" source saying there is no rating, we should put "Unrated" in. However, since there is a source that says otherwise, that, perhaps, should also be noted—whether it be by tooltips or some other means.

:::::::Well, what do you think? Should we contact Jo The Marten? —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 04:51, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

::::::::You have echoed what I'm thinking. I'm going to go ahead and label it unrated, then put a tooltip stating that. SatoMew2, I know you're not a fan of them, but it seems like the best solution ''for now''. I will contact Jo myself and ask for administrative opinion here, and there might be another method to be used instead, but I'll let Jo do that if needed. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:56, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

:::::::::I've just done some cleaning up. I like how it's turning out. However, tooltips being unreadable to mobile users does seem like it could be a problem. (Actually, however, I rarely go to Bulbapedia on a mobile device myself.) However, this might be an issue that's over Bulbapedia as a whole, not just with this PEGI issue. However, one solution I thought of is that we could (also) put the info in the "Trivia" section—unless it seems too minor. What do you think? As for now, it's been nice making Bulbapedia a better place! —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 06:12, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

::::::::::Those might be questions better answered by Jo upon arrival here. I asked to outdent if there is a desire to comment (kind of like taking over the discussion). I will point out for Jo the two additional edits made by Sackinator - the cleanup ones - after I linked mine, so don't edit from my version if you do anything else. As for the tooltips, that is indeed a general problem for mobile, but it may be deemed that it's unneeded and perhaps the bit about Pokémon UK implying there's a PEGI rating can go in the prose somewhere. It might even be removed. Let's not do that ourselves, however. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:17, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
:::::::::::I'd like to offer my thoughts as the person who put the note there in the first place (back when I was going through all the game classification sites and correcting all the rating on articles, since a lot of them were assumptions). I doubt that Nintendo/TCPi has just made a mistake; the boxart they display is an (anachronistic) edited version the US boxart that just sticks the PEGI classification over the ESRB classification ([http://www.pokemon.com/uk/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-red-version-and-pokemon-blue-version/ example]); they provide a supposed PEGI rating for all of their games. I put it there primarily because I believe the games were not classified and TCPi is just putting a rating there because their site is set up to require one; I think it might be worthwhile as a visible note for readers. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:39, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
::::::::::::Definitely a valid point, and thanks for commenting. =) I suppose they could provide what might have been a PEGI rating had PEGI been around at the time, but I do believe that it's still not an official rating. It is certainly worthwhile noting what the supposed rating is (3 IIRC), but my only concern is whether it belongs in the template. My call in this was simply from the official PEGI stance, but it also might not be the correct treatment, hence why I asked for administrative ruling on it either way to ensure it's handled correctly. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:24, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Just to update over here, Jo has looked into and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Yellow_Version&curid=1013&diff=2224303&oldid=2223679 made a decision] on this. That setup is now what should be. Hoping Sackinator is following this page or the article and also sees it. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 05:51, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
:Yeah, I'm following both. Has Jo read this section on this page, though? I think there is good reasoning here to have the "3" be in the tooltip (the ref was decided by Jo to be replaced) and the main text saying something like "Unrated" rather than the other way around. But I won't question Bulbapedian authority if Jo stills has the other opinion despite reading this. —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 01:53, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
::I have no idea whether this discussion was considered. If you wish to ask, go over there and create a new section asking, or add on to the section I started previously. I asked for an opinion and this is the route that was decided upon. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:08, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Okay, I just did. —[[User:The Sackinator|The Sackinator]] ([[User talk:The Sackinator|talk]]) 04:35, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

== Trivia question ==

Hey SatoMew2, I was wondering about the following trivium:

*These are the only core series games released after Generation I where the player character does not face a NPC Trainer when challenged. Coincidentally, they are also remakes of the original paired versions of Generation I.

I'm not sure I quite follow. What exactly do you mean? The player character is never challenged by an NPC? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:11, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
:When a NPC Trainer sees you, the player doesn't turn around to face them, like in the original games (for example, you're walking down a route and a NPC Trainer notices you; when he or she approaches you, you remain in the same position and don't look directly to the NPC). In all other games, the player turns around to face the Trainer. This is what I'm referring to. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 17:17, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
::Ah, I see. The wording seemed very unclear as "face" could have multiple meanings. That makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 17:19, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

== Signs ==

Is there any particular reason you are consistently removing signs from location articles? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:22, 26 December 2014 (UTC)
:They don't add anything of value to the reader. If notable, such as in [[Celadon Game Corner]]'s case (in which it's referring to the slogan), then it can be mentioned in prose on the descriptive sections. They otherwise add unnecessary fluff and make the articles look bloated, making it harder to find the important information while scrolling. This is especially noticeable [[Saffron Gym|when there are signs from multiple generations saying the same thing and they're right at the beginning of a section]].
