==Actually a continuation of XD==

Niantic who make Pokémon ''GO'' are a company based in the USA and as such wouldn't the english name of the shadow pokemon being the same as in the english version of ''XD'' and ''Colosseum'' render moot the fact that the name in the Japanese Translation of a game made in San Francisco is not the same as the earlier game made in Japan because then the translation of the ''GO'' shadow pokemon into Japanese is just a mistranslation.

:::My opinion: It should not be deleted. Nor should it be merged. It does, however, need to be expanded upon a whole lot.

And I mean no offense by that at all; hey, can't control when you're born, right?}} - at the time my involvement in the fandom was basically limited to occasionally discussing the anime on message boards, and even ''I'' knew of the term. It most certainly deserves its own article, as a major part of fandom during its time.

==Recent Work==
A lot of the recent additions may have brought the article up to higher standards, but much of it is still incorrect. Ah well, guess not every site can be fully-informative. [[User:Redstar|Redstar]] 15:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
:Of course a lot of it is incorrect - PokeGods don't exist!
:As for what was considered to be correct among the PokeGods phenomenon, I did extensive research on the subject, determined which were considered by the fandom to be the "leading sites on PokeGod information," checked out some other PokeGod sites also (sometimes having to make use of the Wayback Machine, of course), and took information from there. Of course there were a lot of conflicting "facts," due to the fact that PokeGods were complete made-up bullshit and anyone would just claim whatever tyhey wanted about them, but I took what seemed to be the most commonly-accepted spellings/evolutions/rumors and ''that's'' what I put on the page. (And btw, I don't quite appreciate your veiled accusation on my talkpage that I had made it all up.)
:Though could you possibly point out exactly what you find to be incorrect, so that I can look into it? Specifics will help us become, you know, more informative. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❄]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|❅]] 18:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

:::PokeGods are all fake. Made-up. Bullshit. That doesn't mean that I can't write about it (and even if I did absolutely detest the subject, I'd ''still'' write about it if no one else would, because I am perfectly capable of taking an objective stance in writing).
:::Also, my apologies for saying that you were accusing me of that; I viewed your comment on my talkpage as somewhat confrontational (asking why I was updating it... because, uh, why shouldn't I be?), so, along with your mention here that a lot of it was incorrect, I took "if anywhere other than your head" as a veiled accusation.

PokeGods were invented by kids with computers back in the day. they dont exist. i dont want to hear any more about unverifiable claims because you cant verify something that doesnt exist. ive actually got a few "PokeGods" in my Blue version. theyre basically glitches, but we believed a lot of stuff we read on the internet back in the day, and thats what this article is about. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 19:47, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

== Yoshi ==
Should we have an interwiki link to the Super Mario Wiki on Yoshi?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 13:56, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

== Nidogod/goddess ==

Just a little info to adjust the page if you see fit. When I first heard about the Nidogod/goddess it was said that it was only named Nidogod and the way to get it was to somehow get Nidoking and Nidoqueen to hold hands and they would fuse together. I know its all made up non-sense but thought I'd add it since you guys all put that they were supposed evolutions when they were classed(in my area at least) as a fusion.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 07:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
:Essentially right. There were only a very few codes for NidoGod, with at least one involving a fusion of several Pokemon (Nidoking and Nidoqueen being two of them). In fact, Nidogodess is a late addition the phenomenon, with NidoGod predating it by as much as half a year... Originally, NidoGod was said to be the evolution of both, yet this didn't sit well with people so they came up with Nidogodess to split the lines again. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 23:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

==Inaccuracies and incomplete information==
Denryu and Kireihana were not Pokégods. They were some of the first Generation II Pokémon to be released and were posted on websites a lot, but they were never passed off as Pokégods. Maybe these should be removed from the list? It is possible that they were sometimes (although very rarely) referred to as Pokégods, seeing as there were so many rumours out there. Also I've never heard any rumours of a Lunareon or Solareon... perhaps these were Pokégods but they must have been obscure since I never came across them (unlike most of the others).

Also, the sentence "''Some glitch Pokémon were also sometimes referred to as "PokéGods"''" is unneeded. The glitch Pokémon that were called Pokégods have all already been included on the previous lists (174 - Pikablu, 175 - Locustod, 205 - Rainer, 209 - Psybur / Togepi, 211 - Psybird, 213 - Spooky, 224 - Raticlaw, 234 - Sandswipes, 240 - Sapusaur, 245 - Charcolt, 250 - Anthrax / Houou, 254 - Beepin, and 255 - Millenium).

Also, I know of a few well-known ones that aren't listed on the page... anyone think I should add these?:
:- Bruno or Buru (a real Pokémon -- Snubbull -- dubbed as a Pokégod)
:- Pokémaniac (another name for glitch Pokémon #234... perhaps due to its type)
:- Tyranticus, Primator, Psyke, and Wizwar (Pokégods with no canon basis)
:- Luigi (from an April Fools Day joke by Nintendo... not as well known as Yoshi but he was still pretty common)
:- Dimonix (along with other variations of the name... the evolution of Onix (not derived from Steelix))
:- The Unidentified Dragon (supposedly a level 100 Dragon Pokémon found in a cave in the back of the Safari Zone)
Lastly, this isn't as important, but I suggest the spelling of "PokéGod" on this page be changed to "Pokégod". Why? Simply because it was never capitalized that way in the context of the rumours (it was mostly always written as either "pokegod" or "Pokegod"). I think the capitalized one is more consistant and the accented 'e' is a nice touch... but it doesn't look right with the 'g' capitalized (consider the fact that no other terms have the letter following the 'é' capitalized... it's not "PokéDex" or "PokéGear" or "PokéMon", etc.) [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 23:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

:Also, like someone said on the discussion page long ago, this article doesn't even provide the definition of "Pokégod" (differentiating it from a "fake Pokémon", other than mention of fake codes being used to obtain them). The best definition I can think of is "a Pokémon supposedly catchable in the first generation games with a Pokédex number greater than 150". This at least deserves some mention, as it is the key fact in discerning the Pokégods from all other fake Pokémon. I'll edit this article later if no one disagrees. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:42, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::From what you've said, you seem to know a lot about Pokégods. Most people weren't part of the fandom way back then, and I think everything you've brought up here should be done. Same goes with what you mentioned in the section below. As for providing a definition, I certainly agree with that. Only thing I'm concerned about is completely removing the note about glitch Pokémon being regarded as them; it doesn't need to be in the same way, but I think it should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:26, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Okay, I did some editing. I added all the ones that I mentioned here.
:::I left Denryu and Kireihana on there, because (as I said before) there were so many rumours out there that it's possible that these 2 Pokémon were considered Pokégods (even though I've never run into such rumours back when the Pokégods were popular or now when looking into them again).
:::I added my definition of "Pokégod" and slightly re-worded the part about the glitch Pokémon.
:::Also I re-added the part about Doomsday being the evolution of Doomsay... someone had it commented out before but I don't see why. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 23:53, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
::::I agree with many of your points. I was the one at the forefront of the above discussion to get this page as accurate as possible, so I appreciate someone such as yourself looking into the matter now. Your changes are largely good, though I can see a lot more that should be changed. For instance, several of the PokéGods listed under "PokéGods with no canon basis" do in fact have a traceable origin. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 21:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I'm curious as to which of those Pokégods you're referring to as having canon basis. Yes, their origin is "traceable", but I don't trace it to anything canon. The following were definitely not canon: Millenium, Anthrax, Ruin, Psybir, Psybird, Mysterio, and Apocalypse. Tyranticus, Primator, Doomsay, Doomsday, Psyke, and Wizwar originated from a list of Pokémon numbered 155 to 160... but I think it was all speculation / predictions of "Gold / Silver" Pokémon, so none of that would have been canon either. That leaves only 4... Tricket, Hifishi, Pokémaniac, and The Unidentified Dragon. Pokémaniac (the name) was the name of a real character, yes, but the Pokégod itself had nothing to do with the trainer of the same name. So that leaves Tricket, Hifishi, and The Unidentified Dragon. I get the feeling that the dragon may be based on the giant Dragonite from the anime, but I have no evidence that that is the case. Tricket and Hifishi were purely made up, but they could coincide with the prototype Pokémon Kage no Mushi and Bukū... although I think that that's pure coincedence. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 03:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::I'm pretty sure Pokémaniac would come from a glitch Pokémon, which may be what Slowpokeisgod is referring to. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:00, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::Yeah, he's glitch Pokémon #234, which has the type listed as Pokémaniac (which is probably how he got his name). I wasn't sure where to put him, the only thing canon about him is the name so the "not canon" section seemed to be the best category for him. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 14:35, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::You're both right on the money: Tricket was inspired by Kage no Mushi, Hifishi by Bukū/Qwilfish, and The Unidentified Dragon by the giant Dragonite from the anime. The Hifishi code was sometimes circulated with the Bukū artwork while The Unidentified Dragon code had an alternate version that clearly referenced the anime episode. The Pokémon included on the 151 - 161 list were first mentioned ''before'' the release of even Red/Blue, meaning the names were in reference to actual Pokémon. They are not strictly PokéGods because the list was circulated months before the phenomenon even began. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 00:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Okay, if you want to update those then go ahead. Personally, I've never seen any pictures of any sort circulated with any of those three codes, but it makes sense. Are you sure about that list existing before Red / Blue though? I've seen it before Gold / Silver, but not much earlier than that. Not to mention that none of those names sound anything like any real Pokémon, so I doubt they're based off of anything (even if the list was around before Red / Blue, it's more likely that someone just added those extras to the list). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:15, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::I've traced the list back to November 29th, 1998 and have reason to believe it's at least a week older than that. The exact origin is not yet clear, but the date alone says a lot. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 10:29, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

==Mist Stone==
That rumour of how to obtain the Mist Stone is unnecessary. The Mist Stone should be mentioned as the stone that supposedly evolves certain Pokémon (some rumours saying it can evolve any Pokémon), but the rumour itself shouldn't be there (if we started listing rumours then we should list rumours for how to obtain each of the Pokégods as well... which would be extremely long (even if we just included the most well-known ones) and I don't think Bulbapedia is the place for that). Not to mention that the rumour that's currently on this page is obscure / not even the most common rumour out there... the one that I have heard of the most is "use the item finder a certain number of times (usually 100 or "on every tile") in Seafoam Islands to find it". [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:There were many secret stones rumored with each said to evolve a specific type or even Pokémon. The Mist Stone was just one of many (intended for Pikablu) that eventually became a catch-all. The rumor you mention is indeed the most prominent. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 21:44, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

== PokéGods vs. Pokégods ==

Just replying to the notice at the top of the article. I think the "g" should be changed to lowercase because it could easily offend people who believe in a single God, spelled with a capital "g". Gods in the plural usually are not. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 01:25, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

::::I see what AGGRON989 is saying. I avoid using "PokéGod" because it's irreverent / somewhat blasphemous, but I don't expect everyone to agree (especially considering that many people see it only as a stylistic thing).

::::But anyway, I do think the name should be changed.
::::1. There was no single/consistent spelling "that the fans used" (there were several different ways it was written, but "pokegods" (no capitalization) and "Pokegods" (capital "P", lowercase "g") were both more common than "PokeGods"). Going by the fan spelling, "Pokégods" isn't any less correct than "PokéGods".
::::This same sort of debate happened on the Missingno. page because there is no single agreed-upon spelling for that either (MissingNo. / Missingno. / MissingNO. / etc.)

::::2. Since there are various fan spellings, I think it makes the most sense to go with the one closest to how it hypothetically would have been spelled in the canon, which would be "Pokégods". You can tell by looking at all the other canon terms that begin with "Poké-". When there is a space after "Poké" then the following word is always capitalized (e.g. Poké Flute, Poké Doll, Poké Ball, Poké Radar, Poké Kid, etc.) but when there is no space then the following letter is never capitalized (e.g. Pokémon, Pokédex, Pokégear, Pokéblock, etc.) The only exception to this that I know about is possibly the old spelling of "PokéManiac", but I don't think that's even an official spelling (my official Red and Blue player's guide spells that word as "Pokémaniac" which is consistent with the other terms...) [[User:Dannyjenn|DNJ]] ([[User talk:Dannyjenn|talk]]) 16:21, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

:::::The fact that it was suggested that the article be moved seemed to indicate to me that neither term was more correct than the other; that's why I brought it up in the first place. If the capital G is definitely correct, I don't see any point in changing the title of the article. Likewise, if the capital G is incorrect, we should probably change it. If it doesn't matter either way, than I do think the g should be lowercase.

::::::I completely agree. If there's any way people could be offended, try to minimize that possibility, but if the most common useage of the term was really with a capital 'g', then I say we keep it. [[User:Geo1088|Geo1088]][[User_talk:Geo1088|Talk]] 17:24, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

:Of course a lot of it is incorrect - PokeGods don't exist!
:As for what was considered to be correct among the PokeGods phenomenon, I did extensive research on the subject, determined which were considered by the fandom to be the "leading sites on PokeGod information," checked out some other PokeGod sites also (sometimes having to make use of the Wayback Machine, of course), and took information from there. Of course there were a lot of conflicting "facts," due to the fact that PokeGods were complete made-up bullshit and anyone would just claim whatever tyhey wanted about them, but I took what seemed to be the most commonly-accepted spellings/evolutions/rumors and ''that's'' what I put on the page.

== Nidogod/goddess ==

Just a little info to adjust the page if you see fit. When I first heard about the Nidogod/goddess it was said that it was only named Nidogod and the way to get it was to somehow get Nidoking and Nidoqueen to hold hands and they would fuse together. I know its all made up non-sense but thought I'd add it since you guys all put that they were supposed evolutions when they were classed(in my area at least) as a fusion.--[[User:Lycos Ex Mortis|Lycos Ex Mortis]] 07:45, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
:Essentially right. There were only a very few codes for NidoGod, with at least one involving a fusion of several Pokemon (Nidoking and Nidoqueen being two of them). In fact, Nidogodess is a late addition the phenomenon, with NidoGod predating it by as much as half a year... Originally, NidoGod was said to be the evolution of both, yet this didn't sit well with people so they came up with Nidogodess to split the lines again. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 23:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

==Inaccuracies and incomplete information==
Denryu and Kireihana were not Pokégods. They were some of the first Generation II Pokémon to be released and were posted on websites a lot, but they were never passed off as Pokégods. Maybe these should be removed from the list? It is possible that they were sometimes (although very rarely) referred to as Pokégods, seeing as there were so many rumours out there. Also I've never heard any rumours of a Lunareon or Solareon... perhaps these were Pokégods but they must have been obscure since I never came across them (unlike most of the others).

Also, the sentence "''Some glitch Pokémon were also sometimes referred to as "PokéGods"''" is unneeded. The glitch Pokémon that were called Pokégods have all already been included on the previous lists (174 - Pikablu, 175 - Locustod, 205 - Rainer, 209 - Psybur / Togepi, 211 - Psybird, 213 - Spooky, 224 - Raticlaw, 234 - Sandswipes, 240 - Sapusaur, 245 - Charcolt, 250 - Anthrax / Houou, 254 - Beepin, and 255 - Millenium).

Also, I know of a few well-known ones that aren't listed on the page... anyone think I should add these?:
:- Bruno or Buru (a real Pokémon -- Snubbull -- dubbed as a Pokégod)
:- Pokémaniac (another name for glitch Pokémon #234... perhaps due to its type)
:- Tyranticus, Primator, Psyke, and Wizwar (Pokégods with no canon basis)
:- Luigi (from an April Fools Day joke by Nintendo... not as well known as Yoshi but he was still pretty common)
:- Dimonix (along with other variations of the name... the evolution of Onix (not derived from Steelix))
:- The Unidentified Dragon (supposedly a level 100 Dragon Pokémon found in a cave in the back of the Safari Zone)
Lastly, this isn't as important, but I suggest the spelling of "PokéGod" on this page be changed to "Pokégod". Why? Simply because it was never capitalized that way in the context of the rumours (it was mostly always written as either "pokegod" or "Pokegod"). I think the capitalized one is more consistant and the accented 'e' is a nice touch... but it doesn't look right with the 'g' capitalized (consider the fact that no other terms have the letter following the 'é' capitalized... it's not "PokéDex" or "PokéGear" or "PokéMon", etc.) [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 23:24, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

:Also, like someone said on the discussion page long ago, this article doesn't even provide the definition of "Pokégod" (differentiating it from a "fake Pokémon", other than mention of fake codes being used to obtain them). The best definition I can think of is "a Pokémon supposedly catchable in the first generation games with a Pokédex number greater than 150". This at least deserves some mention, as it is the key fact in discerning the Pokégods from all other fake Pokémon. I'll edit this article later if no one disagrees. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:42, 18 March 2012 (UTC)
::From what you've said, you seem to know a lot about Pokégods. Most people weren't part of the fandom way back then, and I think everything you've brought up here should be done. Same goes with what you mentioned in the section below. As for providing a definition, I certainly agree with that. Only thing I'm concerned about is completely removing the note about glitch Pokémon being regarded as them; it doesn't need to be in the same way, but I think it should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:26, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

::::I agree with many of your points. I was the one at the forefront of the above discussion to get this page as accurate as possible, so I appreciate someone such as yourself looking into the matter now. Your changes are largely good, though I can see a lot more that should be changed. For instance, several of the PokéGods listed under "PokéGods with no canon basis" do in fact have a traceable origin. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 21:43, 22 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::I'm curious as to which of those Pokégods you're referring to as having canon basis. Yes, their origin is "traceable", but I don't trace it to anything canon. The following were definitely not canon: Millenium, Anthrax, Ruin, Psybir, Psybird, Mysterio, and Apocalypse. Tyranticus, Primator, Doomsay, Doomsday, Psyke, and Wizwar originated from a list of Pokémon numbered 155 to 160... but I think it was all speculation / predictions of "Gold / Silver" Pokémon, so none of that would have been canon either. That leaves only 4... Tricket, Hifishi, Pokémaniac, and The Unidentified Dragon. Pokémaniac (the name) was the name of a real character, yes, but the Pokégod itself had nothing to do with the trainer of the same name. So that leaves Tricket, Hifishi, and The Unidentified Dragon. I get the feeling that the dragon may be based on the giant Dragonite from the anime, but I have no evidence that that is the case. Tricket and Hifishi were purely made up, but they could coincide with the prototype Pokémon Kage no Mushi and Bukū... although I think that that's pure coincedence. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 03:57, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

:::::::Yeah, he's glitch Pokémon #234, which has the type listed as Pokémaniac (which is probably how he got his name).

::::::::You're both right on the money: Tricket was inspired by Kage no Mushi, Hifishi by Bukū/Qwilfish, and The Unidentified Dragon by the giant Dragonite from the anime. The Hifishi code was sometimes circulated with the Bukū artwork while The Unidentified Dragon code had an alternate version that clearly referenced the anime episode. The Pokémon included on the 151 - 161 list were first mentioned ''before'' the release of even Red/Blue, meaning the names were in reference to actual Pokémon. They are not strictly PokéGods because the list was circulated months before the phenomenon even began. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 00:30, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::Okay, if you want to update those then go ahead. Personally, I've never seen any pictures of any sort circulated with any of those three codes, but it makes sense. Are you sure about that list existing before Red / Blue though? I've seen it before Gold / Silver, but not much earlier than that. Not to mention that none of those names sound anything like any real Pokémon, so I doubt they're based off of anything (even if the list was around before Red / Blue, it's more likely that someone just added those extras to the list). [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:15, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::I've traced the list back to November 29th, 1998 and have reason to believe it's at least a week older than that. The exact origin is not yet clear, but the date alone says a lot. [[User:Slowpokeisgod|Slowpokeisgod]] 10:29, 25 March 2012 (UTC)

==Mist Stone==
That rumour of how to obtain the Mist Stone is unnecessary. The Mist Stone should be mentioned as the stone that supposedly evolves certain Pokémon (some rumours saying it can evolve any Pokémon), but the rumour itself shouldn't be there (if we started listing rumours then we should list rumours for how to obtain each of the Pokégods as well... which would be extremely long (even if we just included the most well-known ones) and I don't think Bulbapedia is the place for that). Not to mention that the rumour that's currently on this page is obscure / not even the most common rumour out there... the one that I have heard of the most is "use the item finder a certain number of times (usually 100 or "on every tile") in Seafoam Islands to find it". [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 02:33, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:There were many secret stones rumored with each said to evolve a specific type or even Pokémon. The Mist Stone was just one of many (intended for Pikablu) that eventually became a catch-all.

::::I see what AGGRON989 is saying. I avoid using "PokéGod" because it's irreverent / somewhat blasphemous, but I don't expect everyone to agree (especially considering that many people see it only as a stylistic thing).

::::But anyway, I do think the name should be changed.
::::1. There was no single/consistent spelling "that the fans used" (there were several different ways it was written, but "pokegods" (no capitalization) and "Pokegods" (capital "P", lowercase "g") were both more common than "PokeGods"). Going by the fan spelling, "Pokégods" isn't any less correct than "PokéGods".
::::This same sort of debate happened on the Missingno. page because there is no single agreed-upon spelling for that either (MissingNo. / Missingno. / MissingNO. / etc.)

::::2. Since there are various fan spellings, I think it makes the most sense to go with the one closest to how it hypothetically would have been spelled in the canon, which would be "Pokégods". You can tell by looking at all the other canon terms that begin with "Poké-". When there is a space after "Poké" then the following word is always capitalized (e.g. Poké Flute, Poké Doll, Poké Ball, Poké Radar, Poké Kid, etc.) but when there is no space then the following letter is never capitalized (e.g. Pokémon, Pokédex, Pokégear, Pokéblock, etc.) The only exception to this that I know about is possibly the old spelling of "PokéManiac", but I don't think that's even an official spelling (my official Red and Blue player's guide spells that word as "Pokémaniac" which is consistent with the other terms...)

:::::The fact that it was suggested that the article be moved seemed to indicate to me that neither term was more correct than the other; that's why I brought it up in the first place. If the capital G is definitely correct, I don't see any point in changing the title of the article. Likewise, if the capital G is incorrect, we should probably change it. If it doesn't matter either way, than I do think the g should be lowercase.

::::::I completely agree. If there's any way people could be offended, try to minimize that possibility, but if the most common useage of the term was really with a capital 'g', then I say we keep it. [[User:Geo1088|Geo1088]][[User_talk:Geo1088|Talk]] 17:24, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

== Pokégods VS Mega Evolutions ==
It seems that Mega Evolutions took inspiration from these old myths. They presumably use special items in some way to make Pokemon transform into their "Mega Evolution". [[User:Poko907|Poko907]] ([[User talk:Poko907|talk]]) 19:25, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
:On top of that, Sapusaur in particular was said to have thick fat, which protected it from fire and ice attacks, and Lord knows how many ways people said you could get a dragon-type charizard.[[User:N8|N8]] ([[User talk:N8|talk]]) 14:53, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
::If you're referring to the Sapusaur image from the meme column, that particular image was just somebody taking Mega Venusaur's design and Ability and turning into a Gen I-style PokéGod using a name that had already been spread around back then. It wasn't an old image that Game Freak took the idea from. And making Charizard a Dragon-type is just common sense, which is the same reason fans had been pointing it out so much before. Doesn't necessarily mean they took that idea from them either. [[User:Hyper Turtwig|Hyper Turtwig]] ([[User talk:Hyper Turtwig|talk]]) 11:43, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

'''Gary Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・シゲル''' ''Shigeru Okido'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Researcher]] from [[Pallet Town]] and grandson of {{an|Professor Oak}}. He is a childhood friend and former [[rival]] of [[Ash Ketchum]]. His Japanese name is derived from [[Shigeru Miyamoto]].

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Younger Gary Oak.png|thumb|left|220px|Young Gary]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Gary has been a neighbor of [[Ash Ketchum]] since they were both young. At one time they seemed to be friends and went to see movies together as seen in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

Shortly before beginning their journeys, Gary and Ash found an old {{i|Poké Ball}} while [[fishing]]. The two boys began fighting over who would get to keep the Poké Ball but ended up breaking it in half. Since then, they decided to keep the two separate pieces for themselves. It was revealed in ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' that they still carried the pieces with them.

=====[[Original series]]=====
[[File:Gary Oak OS.png|thumb|right||200px|Gary in the original series]]

Gary debuted in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where he went to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] along with two other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s before {{Ash}} did. After choosing his [[starter Pokémon]], he left [[Pallet Town]] with his {{TP|Gary|cheerleaders}} on a sporty red convertible.

Gary made quick progress through his Pokémon journey, much to Ash's annoyance. He breezed through the {{gy|Pewter}} and {{gy|Cerulean}} [[Gym]]s prior to ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''. It was also revealed in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'' that Gary had also defeated [[Samurai]] in a battle.

Gary made a brief appearance in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'', where he exited a town store, accidentally knocking Ash out in the process. In ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'', Gary hopped onstage during the [[Beach Beauty and Pokémon Costume Contest]] and attempted to insult Ash in front of the gathered crowd.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} revealed to Ash that Gary had already caught 45 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, compared to Ash's team of seven. Professor Oak also revealed that Gary's Pokémon included a much larger {{p|Krabby}} than the {{AP|Krabby}} that Ash caught that episode.

In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', Gary was one of the Trainers who decided to help out the [[foreman]] in getting rid of the {{p|Diglett}} affecting construction at [[Gaiva Dam]]. Gary attempted to send out a Pokémon to battle the Diglett, but it did not exit the {{i|Poké Ball}}, and a Diglett returned it to him. He tried to send out his other Pokémon, though they also did not leave their Poké Balls and were returned to him by the Diglett. Realizing that his Pokémon did not want to battle the Diglett, he deemed it pointless to stay and left with his cheerleaders in their convertible.

In ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', Gary went digging for [[Fossil]]s in [[Grampa Canyon]].

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Gary was on vacation rather than bothering to challenge the local [[Cinnabar Gym]].

In ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he revealed that he had already received ten [[Badge]]s. He then went to the challenge the {{gy|Viridian}} [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}. At first he seemed to be winning against Giovanni, knocking out Giovanni's {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Kingler}} with his {{TP|Gary|Nidoking}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, respectively. However, the tide of the battle turned when Giovanni sent out {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} (disguised in armor) against Gary. Though Gary was allowed to use both his Pokémon against him, Mewtwo made quick work of Gary's team, and he lost the battle. When Ash and {{ashfr}} later entered the Gym, they found Gary and his cheerleaders lying unconscious on the floor. Once Ash revived him, Gary warned Ash about the gym. He asserted that Giovanni's mysterious Pokémon (Mewtwo) was not only powerful, but also evil—and that no {{pkmn|Trainer}} would ever beat that Pokémon. Gary then watched Ash battle {{TRT}}, who had appeared as the temporary Gym Leaders and invited Ash to challenge them. During the battle, he tackles {{MTR}} to prevent him from using a remote to detonate the platform where Ash stood. He also admits that Ash is a good trainer after watching his team defeat all the Pokémon that Team Rocket used. Following the battle, Gary flees the collapsing gym with the others.

In ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Gary returned to Pallet Town and headed to the lobby of Professor Oak's Laboratory. Professor Oak mentioned to both Ash and Gary that they were the top Trainers, noting the other two couldn't compare with their battling skills. Professor Oak showed Gary's collection of Pokémon to Ash. Although Ash had seen more Pokémon, Gary had managed to catch a far greater amount. After Team Rocket was defeated, he promised Ash that they would have their battle at the Pokémon League.

[[File:Gary and Oak.png|thumb|left|220px|Gary and his grandfather]]

In ''[[EP074|All Fired Up!]]'', Gary met up with Ash in the Pokémon League in [[Indigo Plateau]]. He departed the area after claiming he would get ''Loseritis''. The next day, he was seen in the stadium with the other Trainers and Ash. Gary did not stay that long as his opponent, [[Melissa]], defeated his Nidoking using her Golem, which eliminated him from the Pokémon League. Following the loss, he left on another journey.

Gary eventually returned from that journey in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Much unlike his former self, he congratulated Ash on his victory in the [[Orange League]]. Ash challenged him to a battle in the [[EP116|next episode]] with {{AP|Pikachu}} as his choice. Gary in turn used his {{TP|Gary|Eevee}}. Gary managed to defeat Ash and then left on his journey through [[Johto]].

Ash and his friends encountered Gary on their way to [[Violet City]] in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''. Gary recommended they find themselves a {{p|Hoothoot}} to avoid becoming lost in the particularly disorientating forest before leaving to continue catching more Pokémon.

In ''[[EP171|Power Play]]'', he battled a Trainer named [[Alex Davis]] with his {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}, which had evolved from his Eevee prior. Gary was able to defeat Alex and his {{p|Alakazam}}. The battle made Ash want to challenge Gary next, but Gary refused and walked off. Ash sent out his other Pokémon to battle Umbreon, but Gary had already left. From his campsite, Gary and Umbreon noticed a blackout in a town Ash and his friends were in. Gary and Umbreon jumped into the rescue of the Power Plant when the Robo-Mecha Wobbuffet was attacking it. Following the mecha's defeat, Gary worked with Ash and his friends to get the power back on.

In ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]'', he was practicing with Arcanine for the [[Extreme Pokémon Race]]. He then entered the race and competed against Ash and his {{AP|Bayleef}}. They were both in the lead, though Ash was able to narrowly win the event.

Gary arrived in {{jo|Silver Town}} in ''[[EP266|A Claim to Flame!]]'' to compete in the [[Silver Conference]]. He greeted Ash and exchanged pleasantries, promising to get to the top and defeat Ash. Gary was able to get past the screening round along with Ash and {{jo|Harrison}}.

In ''[[EP269|The Ties That Bind]]'' and ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', he battled Ash in an intense [[Full Battle]]. In the final round, Ash ended up winning the battle when his {{AP|Charizard}} defeated Gary's Blastoise. Afterwards Gary continued to support Ash's campaign from the sidelines.

By ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]'', Gary decided that he didn't want to be a Pokémon Trainer anymore, but instead a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon researcher]] like his grandfather. Gary managed to reach Pallet Town a few days before Ash, and as he was preparing to leave for his next venture with just his Blastoise, Ash encountered him in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''. Gary's fresh start approach inspired Ash's desire to travel to [[Hoenn]].

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''=====
Gary appeared in a flashback to Ash's childhood in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]''.

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', Gary was revealed to be working on [[Sayda Island]] as a [[Fossil]] researcher with [[Dora]], head of the Sayda Lab. There, he revived an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from an [[Old Amber]]. At first, the Aerodactyl was afraid of him and every other person on the island. However, Gary gained its trust after he fed it some fruit that Aerodactyl used to eat. Afterwards, Dora announced that Gary could now work full-time at the Sayda Lab.

Eventually, he moved to the [[Sinnoh]] region, where he is currently conducting his research. He sent a postcard to Ash from there in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing!]]'', which motivated Ash to not to get himself down after a loss and keep fighting, much like he did during their rivalry.

In ''[[AG192|Home Is Where The Start Is!]]'', Gary reunited with Ash. He battled him with his {{TP|Gary|Electivire}} and defeated Ash's Pikachu once more.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''=====
[[File:Gary Oak DP.png|thumb|220px|Gary in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'']]
During his time in Sinnoh, Gary became an assistant of [[Professor Rowan]]. As before, Gary conducts his research on rare Pokémon, including [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] and [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Gary demonstrated more maturity and more respect for other people, especially with Ash. Upon meeting him, {{an|Dawn}} thought that he was a poet like his {{an|Professor Oak|grandfather}}.

In ''[[DP045|Ill-Will Hunting!]]'', he was taking care of a group of {{p|Shieldon}} and protected them from [[J]] and [[J's henchmen|her minions]], Gary and Ash were forced to join forces to defeat the enemy, even though Ash has been against it. However, thanks to the efforts of the two they managed to save Shieldon from the hands of J.

He appeared again in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', where he helped Ash and {{AP|Gligar}} by giving a [[Razor Fang]] to Ash. This caused Gligar to [[Evolution|evolve]] later on. He was in the area after hearing rumors of {{DL|Lake guardians (anime)|Azelf}}, whom Ash had seen earlier at [[Lake Valor]].

Gary later appeared in ''[[DP151|The Needs of the Three!]]'' and ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', working alongside Professor Rowan at [[Valor Lakefront]] where he attempted to protect Azelf from J and [[Team Galactic]]; however, he was unable to defeat [[Saturn]] in battle. He later monitored the changes around [[Mt. Coronet]] caused by [[Cyrus]]'s attempts to summon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Gary and Professor Rowan later arrived to collect the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s after Ash's group and [[Cynthia]] handled Team Galactic.

=====''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''=====
Gary later reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

====Character====
[[File:Ash and Gary.png|thumb|220px|Gary and Ash]]
The day he started out on his [[Pokémon journey]], he came off as an arrogant Trainer, much like his {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, {{ga|Blue}}. His chosen [[starter Pokémon]] was {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, which was actually the same Pokémon that Ash originally wanted to start with. He even had a group of [[Gary's cheerleaders|cheerleaders]] who cheered him on in all his battles and would go so far as crying whenever he lost. He didn't walk on his journeys like most Trainers did; instead he had his own sporty red convertible with a chauffeur. Gary loved when he got a chance to make fun of Ash by bragging about how far behind Ash was compared to him. He also gave Ash the pet-name of "Ashy-boy" (Japanese: {{tt|"Satoshi''-kun''"|Satoshi is Ash's Japanese name and ''-kun'' is a Japanese honorific, kun can be considered insulting when not used among friends}}), which occasionally seems to annoy him. His style of training at this point was to capture many Pokémon and to use the strongest, as a stark contrast to Ash, who focused on developing a bond with his Pokémon.

His arrogance continued over time during Ash's journey in Kanto until he challenged the [[Viridian City]] [[Gym Leader]], {{an|Giovanni}}, to a Pokémon battle for his final (but unnecessary) Badge in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', where he was brutally defeated by {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}. However, this still didn't change his arrogance. It would take a loss at the [[Pokémon League]] way later on against [[Melissa]] for him to finally realize that he greatly needed to change himself. Following his loss, Gary would become more polite and respectful of others, no longer showing any of his arrogant and extravagant tendencies from the past. This change in attitude would continue to be apparent throughout his few appearances during the Johto season.

As Ash's first and longest rival, his relationship and rivalry with Ash would prove to play a pivotal role on the latter's outlook as a Trainer. Despite his low opinion of Ash, Gary would make a point to show off his superiority in every way he could during his earlier appearances. The duo's dynamic would see a major change once Gary was abruptly eliminated in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], with Gary growing humble and ceasing his arrogance and antagonistic attitude towards Ash, though he would still tease him at times. By the time of the [[Silver Conference]], Ash and Gary would have a more amiable relationship with one another while still maintaining a sense of rivalry. After his defeat against Ash, Gary would graciously accept his defeat and gave him his half of the Poké Ball, symbolizing the end of their rivalry and the renewal of their friendship. Even after ending his rivalry with Ash, Gary would continue to have an impact on Ash and his journey moving forward, continuing to serve as a motivation towards him while at times lending him a helping hand.

====Pokémon====
Since the very start of his own journey, Gary has shown exceptional skill as a Pokémon Trainer, catching and training an astonishing number and variety of strong Pokémon in a short period of time and losing battles very infrequently. However, since retiring as a Pokémon Trainer to become a researcher, it isn't known if he continues to catch new Pokémon often.

This listing is for Gary's {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} as of ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]''.

Oak then also showed Ash Gary's Krabby, which was way [[Giant Pokémon|bigger]] than Ash's.

Gary's Krabby was briefly seen again in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', where Gary compared its size to Ash's Krabby's size.

It also solved the problem Gary's {{p|Blastoise}} was having with {{AP|Muk}}, knocking it out with a Swift attack. Ash's final Pokémon, {{AP|Charizard}}, managed to stop Scizor in its tracks by blasting it in the face with Flamethrower.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Gary is one of the few characters from the [[original series]], who appeared during both [[dub]]s of the {{pkmn|anime}}, to have his English dub voice remain unchanged; he is always voiced by [[Carter Cathcart]].
* In the original series, Gary's attire is similar to {{ga|Blue}}'s during [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}. In his ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' and ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' appearances, Gary wears Blue's outfit from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Interestingly, the cape he adorns in [[OK!]], its equivalent [[Pokemon Johto]] and in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'' resembles the one worn by his cross-canon manga counterpart {{adv|Blue}} in the {{chap|Yellow}}.
* Gary owns the final evolutionary forms of each of the special Pokémon that can appear on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} via [[dual-slot mode]], [[Mass outbreak|swarming]], or the [[Poké Radar]] ({{p|Arcanine}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, {{p|Nidoqueen}}, and {{p|Dodrio}}).
* In [[Pokémon Stickers series 1]], a sticker depicting Gary identified him as "'''Bailey'''". The same error occurred in the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub of ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. The occurrence of the same error in two apparently unrelated sources might indicate an early-planned name, much like how Ash was initially known as "Casey".
* Although Ash's flashback in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'' seems to suggest that Gary and Ash were childhood friends, this is contradicted by Gary's conversation with Ash in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when they first started off on their Pokémon journeys; it indicated that was the first time they met.
** This is further contradicted in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'', where Ash and Gary interacted with each other mere days before they set out on their journeys, with the two already knowing each other for sometime beforehand based on their exchange.
* According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', aside from his being Professor Oak's grandson, he is also the grandnephew of Pallet Town's mayor. It also explains that his girlfriends are the mayor's electoral staff.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Veilstone City]] who was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s main ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' [[rival]].

==History==
===Pre-series===
Paul started his {{pkmn|journey}} with his {{TP|Paul|Turtwig}} through [[Sinnoh]], inspired by his older brother [[Reggie]]'s own travels.

In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that while Paul was still a beginner, he watched Reggie lose to {{an|Brandon|Pyramid King Brandon}}, costing him the victory of the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. Afterwards, Paul became frustrated and determined to become more powerful. Like his brother, Paul
traveled through [[Hoenn]], [[Johto]], and [[Kanto]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League Conference}}s but failing to win any of them, before returning to Sinnoh.

===''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''===
Paul debuted briefly in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Seperation!]]'', although he was fully introduced in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', where he challenged {{Ash}} to a three-on-three {{pkmn|battle}}. After the battle resulted in a tie, Paul released one of the three {{p|Starly}} he caught, writing it off as weak, and walked off. He later appeared in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'', in which he defeated Ash in a Single Battle after meeting him along the way when exploring [[Bewilder Forest]]. He caught his {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} in the forest. During the episode, he insulted Ash and especially his {{TP|Ash|Turtwig}} by calling it pathetic, sparking their rivalry. At this point, Ash realized Paul's strategy of disregarding Pokémon and then {{pkmn2|Released|releasing}} them if they did not meet his expectations. He also commented that he would not lose to Paul again.

Paul then battled the [[Oreburgh Gym]] [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'' and managed to win the {{Badge|Coal}}. Although he stayed to watch Ash's first battle against Roark in the [[DP016|next episode]], he walked off. His style of indiscriminately releasing weak Pokémon was shown again as he gave the {{p|Azumarill}} he used against Roark to a kid in the [[Pokémon Center]] after it failed to help him in the battle.

In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul audaciously challenged the [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{an|Cynthia}} to a [[Full Battle]]. After his first four Pokémon were easily defeated by [[Cynthia's Garchomp]], he surrendered. He briefly appeared in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''. He was then a participant in the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], in which he was partnered with his rival Ash. Despite winning the quarter-final match, he was very disappointed with his {{AP|Chimchar}} and released it, which Ash quickly claimed. Eventually, Paul and Ash managed to win the tournament. Paul then revealed how he captured Chimchar: one day, he ran across it and saw it activating its {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] to counter a horde of {{p|Zangoose}} that were violently attacking it. Paul was highly impressed and decided to catch Chimchar, but never while it was in his possession did it manage to recreate that powerful Blaze. After winning the tournament, he wrote off the tournament as nothing more than an opportunity to boost his battling skills, giving his [[Soothe Bell]] prize to Ash.

[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul and Ash]]
Paul briefly appeared in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', where he caught his Gliscor. He then appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', where he watched Pikachu battle [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. After watching Pikachu lose to Raichu, he approached Ash and said Pikachu needed to evolve to even come close to being an equal to Raichu. Later on, he witnessed Pikachu defeat Raichu in Ash's [[rematch]] against Sho.

Prior to ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Paul returned to his hometown, [[Veilstone City]], where he challenged the new Gym Leader [[Maylene]] to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. His Pokémon had a [[type]] advantage over Maylene's {{type|Fighting}} [[Party|team]]. This, coupled with the fact that Maylene was feeling out of sync with her Pokémon, resulted in an embarrassing match in which she failed to [[Fainting|knock out]] a single one of his Pokémon. As Maylene awarded him with the {{badge|Cobble}}, Paul noted that she was the weakest Gym Leader he had ever battled, which greatly upset her.

In ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', Paul battled Ash after engaging in an argument over Ash's true skills as a Trainer. After using his Gliscor to defeat [[Ash's Gligar]] with relative ease, he then put his Ursaring against Chimchar. Chimchar had the lower hand for much of the battle, but it was able to easily defeat Ursaring after it activated Blaze. The battle was cancelled when Chimchar's Blaze couldn't be controlled since it was activated out of resentment and a determination to defeat Paul. Paul was impressed as the Blaze appeared much more powerful than the Blaze that drove him to initially capture Chimchar in the first place.

In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'', Paul used his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} in a Single Battle against Ash and his newly evolved {{AP|Grotle}}, defeating Ash with ease partly due to Grotle being unable to adapt to its loss of speed. This was seen by his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, who later helped Ash's Grotle handle the changes in its [[evolution]]. He also participated in the [[Squallville PokéRinger]] in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' with his Honchkrow, and made it to the finals but lost to [[Ash's Staraptor]], which was newly evolved.

In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul challenged {{an|Brandon}} to a [[Full Battle]] in hopes that he would be able to do what his brother never could. However, Paul lost to Brandon without being able to [[fainting|knock out]] any of Brandon's Pokémon. Brandon said that this loss was because Paul was unable to control his emotions.

Following Reggie's suggestion in ''A Pyramiding Rage!'', Paul battled {{Ash}} in a [[Full Battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. It was revealed that Paul had evolved his Magmar into {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}} since his battle with Brandon. Despite Ash's {{p|Chimchar}} evolving into {{AP|Monferno}} and three of Ash's Pokémon using the [[Counter Shield]] strategy, Paul won the match easily with only two of his Pokémon fainting, one of which, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, having defeated half of Ash's team nearly single-handedly. He had his Pokémon use a broad variety of strategies that he kept up his sleeve until this battle, and as a result, his strategy of completely overwhelming and outsmarting Ash succeeded with excellent results.

[[File:Paul scolding Chimchar.png|thumb|250px|Scolding Chimchar]]
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was revealed that Paul had earned the {{Badge|Mine}} from [[Canalave Gym]] and, by doing so, had collected the eight [[Badge]]s required to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].

In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Paul encountered Ash for the first time since their Full Battle. He also met his admirer {{an|Barry}} for the first time; however, Paul wasn't impressed by him and refused his offer for a battle, suggesting he battle Ash instead since he was denying all challenges to go into serious {{pkmn|training}}. He later watched the battle between Ash's Monferno and [[Barry's Empoleon]] and when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Empoleon were nearly crushed by one of {{TRT}}'s damaged mechas, he saved the three with the help of his {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}. He then witnessed Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}, who then saved Electabuzz and the other Pokémon from getting crushed. Paul was impressed by Infernape, and gained a little respect for Ash at how well he had raised it. When asked by Ash if they could have another Full Battle, Paul confirmed they would in the Sinnoh League, and that Reggie was looking forward to seeing it.

Paul entered the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', where he was shown in the stadium along with all of the other competitors. He passed the preliminary round in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'' and defeated {{an|Barry}} in the third round in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' with his superior tactics and the superior power of his Pokémon. His next battle was against his rival Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', continuing into ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'' and ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. After a fierce battle, Paul was finally defeated, and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's full respect. It also seemed Paul had decided to change himself somewhat, as when Electivire was defeated, he thanked it for a job well done; up to this point, this was something Paul practically never did, even if his Pokémon won. Afterwards, Paul stated that his next intention was to return to [[Snowpoint City]] and re-challenge Brandon. He briefly appeared in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', where he watched Ash as he lost to Tobias.

Privately commenting to {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Dawn}} on the battle between Ash and Paul, Cynthia predicted that they would both be entering the Champion League soon.

Paul made a cameo appearance during the ending credits of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', in which he was seen visiting ancient ruins with statues of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}.

==Character==
[[File:Reggie and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Paul and Reggie]]
Paul's only concern in his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a tendency of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they do not meet his expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and {{pkmn|training|trains}} the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that [[friendship|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, especially {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}. He has also demonstrated similar behavior to {{p|Azumarill}}, {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} and {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}.

Paul can be very callous and even brutal, especially in battle. As a result, he has been shown to display very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile when dealing with Ash. He has also been shown to have a certain degree of athleticism, as seen in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' when he and Chimchar were able to downwardly scale a cliff of a waterfall near [[Bewilder Forest]] by swinging and leaping from rocks and branches. His catchphrase when calling out Pokémon is "<Pokémon>, standby for battle!".

As revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', Paul occasionally gives some of his Pokémon to his brother [[Reggie]] for temporary training and caretaking. He disagrees with his brother for giving up on being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]] from {{an|Brandon}} and feels his brother's approach and view on this to be wrong.

Paul originally felt that Ash was a weak Trainer when they first met, as shown by the capture of {{AP|Starly}} when he questioned Ash about how strong Starly was. Ash's very different attitude towards Pokémon also provided much fuel to their rivalry. Despite that, Paul barely recognized Ash as a serious Trainer and a rival, often ignoring his speeches about loving Pokémon. However, Paul's first hint of respect for Ash was shown in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', when he was very surprised to hear that Ash had won his own Brave Symbol from Brandon in a Pokémon battle. Notably, after this discovery and his subsequent defeat at the hands of Brandon, Paul would cease his more cruel tendencies, in the process becoming more subdued and focused. While still being at odds with Ash, he would no longer mock his abilities as a Trainer. His change in attitude was shown after his victories against Ash and Barry, where, despite their losses, he would not dismiss their efforts like before and would even compliment them on a hard-fought battle. After a long, tough battle in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Pokémon League Conference]], Paul ended up losing to Ash, and in doing so, gained respect for him and ended their bitter rivalry.

Although Paul found most of the Pokémon in Ash's party at the time to be weak, he had shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as shown in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act To Follow!]]''. Paul was also angered by how Ash "contradicts" himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then using similar ones, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being clearly different than Paul's.

Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even bother to remember her name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. However, he talks to her about Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', confessing his main problem with Ash is his talk about bringing out a Pokémon's inner strength through his bond with them and how any Pokémon has the potential to be strong reminds him a lot of Reggie. Paul shows mild respect as well as distaste towards {{an|Brock}}, probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], {{an|Cynthia}}, [[Nurse Joy]], and Brandon. While he respects Professor Rowan and Nurse Joy for their wisdom and positions, he only respects Cynthia and Brandon for their abilities as Trainers. He is shown to have no respect for [[Gym Leader]]s who he feels are weak. For example, he was shown to respect [[Roark]] whom he judged to be a worthy opponent in the end, but he was openly rude and mean to [[Maylene]].

==Pokémon==
{{MissingInfo|1|java}}
As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. Whilst the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'', respectively, and Ninjask's was revealed in a flashback during ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', his team has for the most part been {{pkmn2|caught}} off-screen. Several other Pokémon in his possession were caught onscreen but later released.

===On hand===
This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode and the ones used for the [[DP186|last]] [[DP187|Full]] [[DP188|Battle]] against Ash:

|desc={{p|Electivire}} was the first of Paul's revealed Pokémon. Paul used it as an {{p|Elekid}} during his first appearance in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' in a battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Pikachu}}. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle in which it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Chimchar]]. It reappeared as an Electivire in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', having evolved off screen at a prior point. It was used by Paul to battle {{an|Barry}} and {{Ash}} in his league matches. It was the last Pokémon used against Ash in their full battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].}}

|desc=Paul's {{p|Ninjask}} was caught shortly before Paul met {{AP|Chimchar}}, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]''. It did not appear again until it was used as Paul's fourth Pokémon against Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference, where it went up against {{AP|Gliscor}}. Taking advantage of its superior speed, it managed to cause substantial damage, while not taking in a single hit. Gliscor was then recalled in favor of {{AP|Infernape}}, who eliminated Ninjask with the blast wave from an {{m|Dig|Underground}} {{m|Flare Blitz}} and a successful {{m|Mach Punch}}.

Ninjask's known moves are {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and {{m|Giga Drain}}, and its Ability is {{a|Speed Boost}}.}}

|vaen=Carter Cathcart{{!}}Billy Beach
|desc=Paul's {{p|Aggron}} first appeared as a {{p|Lairon}} in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', in which it fought against [[Brandon's Legendary titans#Regice|Brandon's Regice]]. Despite having a significant type advantage, it lost in a matter of seconds after only managing to use Iron Defense; Regice froze it solid with {{m|Ice Beam}} and then knocked it out with a single {{m|Zap Cannon}}.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'' it was shown to have evolved into Aggron. As Paul's first Pokémon, it went up Against {{AP|Pikachu}} in the Lily of the Valley Conference match against Ash. With about even strength, Ash made the decision to switch to {{AP|Infernape}}. After being successfully {{status|burned}} by {{m|Flare Blitz}}, it was knocked out by an exceedingly powerful {{m|Mach Punch}}. It was one of the two Pokémon used by Paul to uncover Ash's strategy, the other being Gastrodon.

Aggron's known moves are {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Metal Claw}}, {{m|Metal Sound}}, {{m|Flash Cannon}} and {{m|Double-Edge}}, and its Ability is {{a|Rock Head}}.}}

{{TrainerPoké

|pkmn=Gastrodon

|epnum=DP186
|epname=Familiarity Breeds Strategy!
|vaen=Tom Wayland
|desc=Paul's {{p|Gastrodon}} was the second Pokémon used against Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference, going up against {{AP|Staraptor}}. Adapting Ash's tactics from their previous full battle, Gastrodon was shown to be able to easily keep Staraptor off by creating a [[Counter Shield]] using Muddy Water. Ash then ordered Staraptor to attack, flying just above the ground, only to be caught by Gastrodon's Body Slam. It then fired Water Pulse directly into the air, planning to dodge the attack descending at an increased speed at the last second. Breaking free by using {{m|Close Combat}} on the ground, Staraptor was then hit by a direct Ice Beam and subsequently substituted with {{AP|Buizel}}. It was at this point Paul realized Ash was using the same Pokémon as last time, calling him "pathetic and predictable". As Gastrodon started off with an Ice Beam, Buizel again used his improvised [[Ash's Buizel#Moves improvised|Ice Aqua Jet]], sending Gastrodon flying. Going for another Body Slam from the blast, Buizel countered with an Ice Punch, effectively eliminating Gastrodon.

Gastrodon was one of the two Pokémon used by Paul to uncover Ash's strategy, the other being Aggron.

Gastrodon's known moves are {{m|Muddy Water}}, {{m|Body Slam}}, {{m|Water Pulse}}, and {{m|Ice Beam}}.}}

|vajp=Unshō Ishizuka
|vaen=Unshō Ishizuka
|desc={{p|Drapion}} was the third Pokémon used in the Lily of the Valley Conference match against Ash where it was sent out after Paul had uncovered his strategy. As a result, Drapion was able to successfully eliminate half of Ash's team ({{AP|Buizel}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Torterra}}). After defeating Torterra, it was recalled, making Drapion the only Pokémon Paul recalled during the entire battle. Throughout the battle, Drapion's Toxic Spikes {{status|poison}}ed most of Ash's team, until {{AP|Infernape}}'s improvised {{m|Dig|Underground}} {{m|Flare Blitz}} completely burned them off. Later, Drapion went up against {{AP|Gliscor}} and, after a fierce battle, was finally knocked out after being successfully {{status|burned}} by {{m|Fire Fang}}.

It is unknown if this is the same Drapion as the one Paul unsuccessfully tried to catch in ''[[DP081|Chim-Charred!]]''.

Drapion's known moves are {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{m|Cross Poison}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, and {{m|Poison Fang}}.

|desc={{p|Froslass}} was the fifth Pokémon used by Paul in his battle against Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference. Going up against [[Ash's Pikachu]], she successfully contained his {{m|Thunderbolt}} with Hail, while also activating her Snow Cloak ability, allowing her to constantly disappear and reappear during the battle. Frustrated with the single-sided attacks, Ash ordered Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, described by Paul as "pathetic". As Pikachu went charging towards the oncoming Froslass and ended up going through causing no damage, it seemed Ash was in trouble. Froslass then fired Ice Shard to finish the battle, which Pikachu dodged for a successful {{m|Iron Tail}}, also breaking up the Hail. Pikachu was then frozen by a subsequent Ice Beam, while Froslass was preparing another Ice Shard. Breaking free with Volt Tackle, Pikachu finally took Froslass out of the match.

Froslass's known moves are {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, and {{m|Ice Beam}}, and her Ability is {{a|Snow Cloak}}.}}

===With Reggie===
In [[Veilstone City]], [[Reggie]] told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too" which may include his reserves. In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Paul mentions that he wanted {{AP|Chimchar}} to become the most powerful out of all his {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. This could mean he has other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon besides Magmortar.

Paul sent Weavile out in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' where it worked with {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} to capture Gliscor.

Weavile briefly appeared in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'' as {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}'s sparring partner.

Weavile appeared again in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' where it went up against [[Ash's Staraptor]] in {{Ash}} and Paul's [[Full Battle]] and lost, despite the type-advantage.

In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'' it was with Reggie along with Paul's Torterra, Ursaring and Honchkrow, disappointed to find out Paul had lost.

Weavile's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, {{m|Swords Dance}}, and {{m|Metal Claw}}.}}

Gliscor appeared again in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'', in which it was used to battle [[Ash's Gligar]] and won the battle rather easily.

Gliscor made a brief appearance in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' along with Paul's other Pokémon outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] while the [[Team Rocket trio]] took care of [[Paul's Torterra]]. Gliscor was not seen again after this.

He hit Registeel directly with all of his attacks, but the Drill Pokémon ultimately didn't manage to cause much damage to the Iron Pokémon and was defeated with a powerful {{m|Iron Head}}.

However, this first impression did not match up to Chimchar's normal abilities and so Paul regularly criticized it for being weak. After losing to [[Cynthia's Garchomp]] in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'', Paul realized that Chimchar was not fulfilling his expectations. This culminated in the tag battle tournament arc in which he was forced to battle alongside Ash. During a battle against a Zangoose and a {{p|Metagross}}, Chimchar was too scared to make any attack when caught in Zangoose's claws. After the battle, Paul released Chimchar in front of Ash, who then invited it to join him.}}

Unsatisfied with its loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow!]]'', claiming it had no potential to improve and there was no point wasting his time on it. This infuriated Ash, pushing their rivalry even further.

==Trivia==
[[File:Early DP series art.png|thumb|200px|Early artwork]]
* Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}. However, his name and role were not revealed until the following week, and so, he received the fan name "Nugai" (a pun derived from "new guy") during that time.
* Three of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} have evolved while battling against Paul: Turtwig into {{AP|Grotle}}, Staravia into {{AP|Staraptor}}, and Chimchar into {{AP|Monferno}}. Both Turtwig and Staravia evolved while battling {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}. Paul also witnessed Monferno's later evolution into {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Paul is the first regular rival seen {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} a Pokémon and receiving a [[Gym]] [[Badge]] on screen.
* If one does not count the [[Squallville]] [[PokéRinger]], Paul has been defeated onscreen three times. Each was a [[Full Battle]] and each time three of his Pokémon debuted.
* Paul shares his Japanese name with that of [[Lake Verity]].
* Paul has three Pokémon in common with Ash's main rival in the [[original series]], {{Gary}}: {{p|Electivire}}, {{p|Nidoking}}, and {{p|Magmar}}.
** Paul and Ash also have three Pokémon in common that come from the same [[Evolution|evolutionary families]]: two {{p|Torterra}}, two {{p|Gliscor}}, and a {{p|Glalie}} and a {{p|Froslass}}, respectively.
* Paul is the only Trainer to abandon one of Ash's {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that has been seen more than once outside of flashbacks.
* Paul is the first regular recurring character to battle the {{pkmn|Champion}} of a [[core series]] [[region]].
* Paul makes a cameo appearance alongside his Pokémon in the ending ''[[Let's Join Hands]]''.
* During the [[S10|tenth season]], Paul's catchphrase was "Stand by!" instead of "Stand by for battle!"

'''Ritchie''' (Japanese: '''ヒロシ''' ''Hiroshi''), occasionally spelled '''Richie''', is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Frodomar City]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}. He first appeared in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

==In the anime==
===History===
====[[Original series]]====
[[File:EP079.png|thumb|220px|Ritchie and Ash]]
Ritchie first appeared in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'' and quickly befriended his fellow [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] competitor, [[Ash Ketchum]], in an elevator. When the elevator went out, he plugged in a device to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and got the elevator running again. Ritchie met up with Ash again outside. While {{TRT}} had {{pkmn|Trainer}}s put in their [[Poké Ball]]s in a sack, Ritchie discovered their scheme and he and Ash went after them. The two were unable to catch up to Team Rocket and camped out until the next day. Ritchie saw tire tracks and led them to Team Rocket's van. When he went inside, he was spotted by Team Rocket and the trio trapped him and Ash in the van. They were able to escape with the Poké Balls retrieved from Team Rocket.

Their friendship led to problems in ''[[EP079|Friend or Foe Alike]]'', since the two were pitted against each other in the next round. Ritchie waited for Ash on the battlefield even though Ash was unable to get there right away due to Team Rocket's meddling. Their match began when Ash was able to finally arrive. Ritchie won the match, since at the very end [[Ash's Charizard]] refused to fight [[Sparky]] and took a nap on the battlefield instead. Even though he lost in the next match to [[Assunta]], Ritchie made it to the Top 8 position in the League.

[[File:EP220.png|thumb|left|220px|Ritchie and Ash diving with {{jo|Silver}}]]
Sometime after the League and when Ash and {{ashfr}} went to [[Johto]], Ritchie became fascinated with a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be found [[Whirl Islands]], which turned out to be a {{an|Lugia}}.

Ritchie met up with Ash and friends again on [[Ogi Isle]], starting in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]''. After spotting a {{jo|Silver|baby Lugia}} with {{jo|Oliver}}, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] attacked with their Pokémon and Ritchie and Ash defended the baby Lugia with their Pokémon. Their actions caused Butch and Cassidy to retreat until later when a submarine was dispatched to capture the child Lugia.

In ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Ritchie told the parent Lugia about what happened to the child Lugia which caused it to briefly attack them. Ritchie and the group later found the child in a cage on a base. Ritchie and Ash battled Butch and Cassidy in an attempt to stall them. They were badly beaten and the parent Lugia was captured.

In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Ritchie and the group was freed from a cage by Oliver. Ritchie and Ash took on Butch, Cassidy, and some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s with their Pokémon and easily swept through them. They went to the room where the child Lugia was held, but were stopped by [[Dr. Namba]]. Ritchie and Ash battled him with their Pikachu. Ritchie was also able to destroy the controller of the rage machine that was causing Dr. Namba's {{p|Electabuzz}} and defeat the Rocket scientist. With both Lugia reunited, Ritchie remained on the island with Oliver, to continue exploring the Whirl Islands, while Ash and his friends departed to [[Olivine City]].

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
Ritchie visited [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]''. He and {{Tracey}} found out that {{an|Professor Oak}} had disappeared from the {{an|Seafoam Island}} TV station where he was supposed to have his live TV appearance. They later found him in an abandoned warehouse with the help of Ritchie's {{p|Taillow}}, Rose. They battled Butch and Cassidy and when [[Tracey's Scyther]] was beaten by Butch's {{p|Mightyena}}, Ritchie took care of the two Team Rocket agents and won. Professor Oak was grateful and even asked Ritchie to come back to [[Pallet Town]] to help install a security system in his lab.

In ''[[HS13|Celebi and Joy!]]'', Ritchie was passing through [[Marion Town]] when he saw some [[Demolition crew|construction workers]] demolishing an old [[Pokémon Center]]. He sent out [[Zippo]] and [[Sparky]] to prevent them from damaging the Pokémon Center any further, and the resident [[Nurse Joy]]s were grateful. They invited Ritchie inside, revealing the Center's history, including the passing of the elder Nurse Joy's childhood friend {{OBP|Nick|HS13}}. The Center also had an association with {{p|Celebi}}, who later appeared before Ritchie and [[Time travel|took him back in time]]. Ritchie arrived in a forest where he saved a young [[Nurse Joy]] from falling off a cliff. He and Nurse Joy then arrived in the Marion Town of the past. Ritchie discovered the same Celebi from before. He also met Nick and [[Nick's father|his father]].

Nurse Joy went missing during a storm, and Ritchie went with Nick to find her. Ritchie soon found Nurse Joy by the Celebi shrine lying down unconscious. Just as a lightning bolt was about to strike, Celebi appeared and protected Ritchie, Nick, and Nurse Joy. The next day, Ritchie went after Nick and his father on Nurse Joy's {{p|Ponyta}} which was the day that a rock slide would have killed them. However, as Ritchie convinced the two to come back to Marion Town to be there for a party held by Nurse Joy, the rock slide that occurred passed right behind Ritchie.

With that done, Ritchie was sent back to the present with the timeline altered. He saw the same construction crew from before, who were now restoring the Pokémon Center instead of demolishing it. Nick was also alive and now the mayor of Marion Town.

In ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', Ritchie was aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] when he met {{OBP|Silver|HS18}} and a pair of mysterious doctors who were actually Butch and Cassidy. During a pit stop at [[One Island]], he learned more of the trio's plan to see a {{p|Moltres}}, and climbed to the summit of [[Mt. Ember|Mt. Magma]] with them. When Moltres revealed itself the following day, the doctors revealed themselves as Butch and Cassidy, and attempted to nab Moltres. Ritchie and Silver battled together and defeated the duo. After Silver battled with Moltres, Mt. Magma erupted and when he had Salamence fly him and Ritchie out of there, Moltres flew off. Silver was willing to wait a little longer until Moltres came back. Ritchie parted ways with Silver on a boat while Silver stayed behind on One Island.

===Character===
Ritchie is a kindhearted and sincere boy. His courageous actions helped him to develop bonds and gain respect from other characters, including {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Marion Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. He values his friendships, even waiting for {{Ash}} despite his delayed arrival for their [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] match in ''[[EP079|Friend or Foe Alike]]''.

Ritchie balanced out Ash's more reckless approach with his cautious manner in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. He thinks ahead, as seen when he packs extra supplies, and his problem-solving skills lend themselves well to his traveling lifestyle. After his Indigo League loss to [[Assunta]], Ritchie noted that defeats were invaluable and this helped Ash to overcome his own sadness after his loss.

He is passionate about Pokémon, and like Ash, he dreams of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. Ritchie and Ash are often compared to each other, and in ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', Ritchie joked that he and Ash tend to catch many of the same Pokémon. Ritchie's battling strategy focuses on his Pokémon's stamina, and he uses attacks like Zippo's {{m|Flamethrower}} and Cruise's {{m|Sandstorm}} to repel his opponent's Pokémon away before attacking. His appearance near [[Ogi Isle]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'' also revealed Ritchie's interest in Pokémon research and folklore.

Thanks to their Pokémon, the two Trainers were able to land safely.

Happy reappeared in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' during Ash and Ritchie's battle at [[Indigo Plateau]]. It was up against {{AP|Squirtle}}. It easily defeated the {{t|Water}} type by using {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which caused Squirtle to become disqualified. Happy was then defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} using his {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

It was very strong in battle, and it caused the two {{TRT}} members to retreat.

Ritchie later used Cruise in ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. Butch and Cassidy were once again trying to prevent the Trainers from rescuing Silver and its mother. Ritchie called upon Cruise to take care of them and the other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in the area. After it defeated them, Cruise helped Ash and {{an|Misty}} free Silver from its cage by tackling the bars after [[Ash's Cyndaquil]], {{AP|Totodile}}, and {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} had weakened them.

Ritchie appears in [[Pokémon Zany Cards]] for the [[Pokémon mini]], in which his name is misspelt "Ricky".

==In the manga==
[[File:Ritchie EToP.png|thumb|190px|Ritchie in The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Ritchie is a character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. His personality is very similar to that of his anime counterpart, however, he expresses more personal insecurities and is shown to be more ruthless in battle. He also has blond hair instead of auburn.

Ash met Ritchie in a diner while noticing that his {{AP|Pikachu}} was with Ritchie's Pikachu. Ritchie was also a competitor in the Pokémon League and even though he saw {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} win his match with {{AP|Kingler}}, Ash missed out on his. The next day, Ritchie has moved on from the third round. During the fourth round, he was paired with Ash's rival, {{Gary}}. After Ash defeated [[Jeanette Fisher]], he ran to see if Ritchie won or not and to his surprise, Ritchie was able to defeat Gary.

Ritchie was then paired with Ash in the fifth round. They battled with {{p|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} first, which resulted in a tie. The two sent out their Pikachu and tied again. When Ritchie sent out his Charizard against [[Ash's Charizard]], his Charizard was badly hurt by Ash's. Despite Ash winning, he resigned from the battle and made Ritchie the winner automatically. Ritchie apologized to Ash for challenging him. Even though Ash felt bad for allowing his Charizard to be uncontrollable, he supported Ritchie on his further matches.

He briefly reappeared with Chuchino after Ash won his match with {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}.

'''Aether Paradise''' (Japanese: '''エーテルパラダイス''' ''Aether Paradise'') is a {{wp|very large floating structure}} that serves as an artificial island located in the middle of the [[Alola]] [[region]], near [[Akala Island]]. It was created by the [[Aether Foundation]] to serve as a base for their research.

To protect the [[wild Pokémon]] being treated in their base, a jamming signal prevents the use of empty [[Poké Ball]]s within the facility.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
After assisting [[Faba]] in stopping two {{tc|Team Skull Grunt}}s from harassing a {{p|Slowpoke}} on [[Memorial Hill]], the branch chief invites the player to [[Hano Grand Resort]] after they finish their grand trial with [[Olivia]]. Upon arriving at the resort with [[Hau]], Faba will take them to Aether Paradise. The player and Hau are then introduced to [[Wicke]], who gives them a tour of the facility. At the top floor, the player meets the President, [[Lusamine]], who welcomes the two trial-goers and professes her love of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

The meeting is interrupted, however, by an [[Ultra Wormhole]], which produces an {{p|Nihilego|unidentified Pokémon}}. The player is prompted to battle it, which eventually ends in it fleeing. After being thanked by the Aether Foundation's staff, Hau and the player are ferried off to [[Malie City]] on [[Ula'ula Island]].

Later, after the player has defeated [[Team Skull]] at [[Shady House|their base]] in [[Po Town]], [[Lillie]] is revealed to have been taken away by [[Plumeria]]. [[Gladion]] later reveals that Lillie was taken to Aether Paradise, where the player, Hau, and Gladion start looking for her next. While raiding the facility, new details about {{p|Cosmog}}, the [[Ultra Beast]]s, and {{p|Type: Null}} are revealed. It also turns out that the Aether Foundation has been working together with Team Skull and sponsoring their criminal activities, forcing the player to battle their way through members of the evil team, including their Boss, [[Guzma]].

In the big mansion at the end of Aether Paradise, the player finds Lillie, who is facing Lusamine, her mother, about Cosmog's fate. The player, Lillie, Hau, and Gladion follow Lusamine into Aether Paradise's "Preservation Room", where Lusamine reveals how she is intending to use Cosmog's power to open Ultra Wormholes all across Alola and summon multiple Ultra Beasts through them. As wormholes start opening and Ultra Beasts start emerging all over Alola, the player engages Lusamine in a battle. After Lusamine is defeated, she uses a specially designed {{ball|Beast}} to capture the Ultra Beast that emerged through the wormhole she had created inside the room, before both she and Guzma disappear into the fading wormhole themselves.

The following day, Gladion tells the player about the {{p|Solgaleo|Legendary}} {{p|Lunala|Pokémon}} of Alola, which is said to be able to travel between worlds, and gives Lillie the {{key|VII|Moon Flute}}{{sup/7|S}}/{{key|VII|Sun Flute}}{{sup/7|M}}, one of the items required to summon the Legendary Pokémon. Afterwards, the player and Lillie head to [[Seafolk Village]] on [[Poni Island]].

==Places of interest==
===2F: Conservation area===
During the player's first visit, [[Lusamine]] is in the garden here. During the player's meeting with Lusamine, an {{p|Nihilego|unidentified Ultra Beast}} appears, which the player must battle. After the player has become the {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Gladion]] will be here to give the player a {{p|Type: Null}} and all of {{p|Silvally}}'s [[Memory]] drives.

===1F: Entrance===
The entrance has two service counters, one of which houses a [[PC]] and a healing spot in the form of a {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}}. This floor also provides the player access to the outside portions of the facility, with one entrance to the front and one entrance to the back.

The back door is locked until the player defeats [[Faba]] and an Aether Foundation Employee in a [[Multi Battle]], which can only be done after reading the notes in Secret Lab B. The player is not permitted to go out the front door until they battle [[Lusamine]] in the mansion.

===B1F: Docks===
The ferry stop for Aether Paradise is located on the western side. The player can take the ferry to [[Heahea City]] as soon as they can visit the ferry stop. The player can take the ferry to [[Hau'oli City]] and [[Malie City]] once they visit [[Ula'ula Island]]. The player can take the ferry to [[Seafolk Village]] once they visit [[Poni Island]].

After completing [[Nanu]]'s grand trial, but before battling [[Lusamine]], the ferry is not present. Instead, an Aether Foundation Employee stands out the front of Gladion's Team Skull ship, which is moored on the east side, and will take the player to [[Malie City]].

===B2F: Lab area===
The Lab area contains two laboratories, Secret Lab A and Secret Lab B. Secret Lab A contains secret files about the creation of Type: Null, as well as [[Faba]]'s personal files, while Secret Lab B contains information about {{p|Cosmog}} and the [[Ultra Beast]]s. During the post-game, [[Wicke]] can be found at Secret Lab B, providing the player with information about the Ultra Beasts they've {{pkmn2|caught}}.

==Trivia==
* If the player chose {{p|Rowlet}} as their starter, Hau's {{p|Primarina}} may use its [[Z-Move]] on the player's Pokémon during the Multi Battles that occur alongside him.
* While it is stated that a jamming signal prevents the use of Poké Balls throughout the island, this only applies in the overworld and wild battles. The player can use Poké Balls in Trainer battles freely (although they will be blocked by these Trainers).

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese versions of {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the character [[Sabrina]] plays is named {{wp|Jujube}}, which is the literal English translation of her Japanese name, Natsume.
* The alternate title of the series, '''Die Pforten des Zauberreichs''', is German for "The Gates of the Magic Realm."
* Using {{m|Substitute}} in the second film triggers extra dialogue as the Plush Toy recognizes the Substitute as looking like himself.

'''Flint''' (Japanese: '''オーバ''' ''Ōba'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Fire}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Flint E4 anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Flint in the anime]]
Flint was mentioned in ''[[DP035|An Elite Meet and Greet!]]'' by [[Lucian]] and in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]'' by [[Officer Jenny]].

Flint appeared for the first time in person in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]''. It was revealed in the episode that he had met up with [[Volkner]] when they were younger and had become rivals and eventually good friends. After becoming 20 years of age, he left and eventually became a member of the [[Elite Four]]. At the same time, Volkner became the Sunyshore Gym Leader.

[[File:Young Flint.png|left|thumb|250px|Young Flint and his Chimchar]]
However he constantly came back to Sunyshore City to convince Volkner to start battling again. After the latter refused Ash's challenge for a Gym battle, he battled Ash in Volkner's place and beat [[Ash's Pikachu]], {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} with his {{p|Infernape}} easily.

He appeared again in ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower of Sunyshore!]]''.

He reappeared in ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'' where he watched Volkner battle Ash. He also appeared in ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'' where he saved {{si|Kenny}}'s {{p|Floatzel}} from {{TRT}} and battled [[Jasmine]] and won. It was also revealed in the episode that he was challenging [[Cynthia]] for the title of [[Sinnoh League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Flint appeared in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} watched him battling Cynthia on TV. As mentioned by the emcee, Flint's Infernape managed to defeat two of Cynthia's Pokémon. However, Infernape lost to {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} and Flint lost the match.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Flint Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Flint in Pokémon Adventures]]
Flint first appears when [[Volkner]] invites him to help him investigate a giant hole that appeared in the [[Sendoff Spring]]. Later, the two are seen in the [[Fight Area]] with their Pokémon. They are later seen investigating the hole at the Sendoff Spring when they receive a call from [[Buck]]. He tells Buck about the object that he is looking for at [[Stark Mountain]], the Magma Stone, but the reception is lost and they get cut off.

Later, Flint and Volkner witness Platinum and her friends traveling to the Distortion World. Volkner teases Flint about caring that his younger brother has been injured, though Flint denies it and intends to defeat the person that beat Buck. Later, they arrive at the [[Sendoff Spring]], and enter the Distortion World through the [[Turnback Cave]].

Upon arriving, they are attacked by {{p|Giratina}} and are chased throughout the Distortion World by it. Despite a powerful combination attack they used, Giratina proves too powerful for them and defeats the two with a {{m|DragonBreath}}. They manage to get up soon after, only for Giratina to leave to fight the other legendary Pokémon in the area.

After Charon is defeated, Giratina tries one last time to attack Platinum, only for Flint and Volkner to attack it from behind and defeat it. Satisfied, the two hi-five each other in a prideful boast of their strength.

Magmortar's only known move is {{m|Lava Plume}}, and its Ability is {{a|Flame Body}}.}}

[[File:Flint E4 DPA.png|thumb|200px|left|Flint in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
Flint appears in ''[[DPA24|Hareta's Heart's Desire]]'' as he found out about the tournament and wanted to compete in it. Rapidash was the first Pokémon sent out. It was up against [[Hareta's Empoleon]]. Despite the type-disadvantage, Rapidash was able to defeat Empoleon with a {{m|Sunny Day}}/{{m|SolarBeam}} combo. He recalls Rapidash and sends out Drifblim while Hareta sends out {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}} and {{p|Misdreavus}}.

However, Hareta had no choice but to use Misdreavus as he was disallowed to use two Pokémon at once. Drifblim was able to defeat Misdreavus with {{m|Payback}} but due to it using {{m|Skill Swap}} beforehand, both Pokémon were out. Hareta than uses his Regigigas and Flint calls out Rapidash once again. Regigigas was able to defeat Rapidash with {{m|Mega Punch}}. Flint has one more Pokémon but resigns before even using it, giving Hareta the win.

Later, in ''[[DPA37|Gathering of the Legendary Pokémon]]'', he along with the Gym Leaders and Sinnoh Elite Four head to the Galactic HQ to take on the remaining Team Galactic grunts.

Drifblim's only known move is {{m|Payback}}, and its Ability is {{a|Aftermath}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Although he specializes in {{t|Fire}} types, in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl only two of the five Pokémon he uses are actually Fire-type, with only eight Fire-type moves between them and only four of these are actual attacking moves. Each of Flint's Pokémon knows at least one Fire-type move. In Pokémon Platinum, his entire team consists of his specialty type.
** With only two Pokémon of his type theme in Diamond and Pearl, he has the lowest number of Pokémon on his team that are of his specialty of all of the Elite Four members.
* Flint's Magmortar is the only Pokémon of a member of the [[Elite Four]] to use [[Seal]]s in {{game|Platinum}}. Incidentally, it is used in the Double Battle with [[Volkner]], who uses his {{p|Electivire}}, the only Pokémon of a [[Gym Leader]] to have Seals.
* When talking to [[Volkner]] in the [[Villa]], he reveals that the reason that Flint uses the {{t|Fire}} type is because of his name.
* Flint is the only member of the Elite Four that has a [[starter Pokémon]].
* Flint is the only member of the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] that doesn't have a Pokémon in any of his teams that knows {{m|Stone Edge}}.
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]], [[Shauntal]] mentions Flint in one of her pre-battle quotes from her novels. She writes that his hairstyle "would be great with {{m|Head Charge}}." He is commanding a Pokémon to use {{m|Overheat}}.

'''Drasna''' (Japanese: '''ドラセナ''' ''Dracaena'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Kalos]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the games==
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Drasna appears as an [[Elite Four]] Trainer of [[Kalos]]. Her grandparents are from [[Sinnoh]] and taught her about the region's mythology surrounding {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, which inspired her to train {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. Drasna also has a relaxed composure, which hints at her strength that knows no bounds.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/characters/elite_four/</ref>

===Quotes===
===={{g|X and Y}}====
====={{kal|Pokémon League}}=====
* Before battle (first time)
:''"Oh goodness, hello to you! Welcome, welcome, come in. You must be a strong Trainer. Yes, quite strong indeed... That's just wonderful news! Facing opponents like you and your team will make my Pokémon grow like weeds!"''

* Before battle ([[rematch]])
:''"Oh goodness, hello to you! You know, my grandparents came to Kalos from a [[Sinnoh|distant region]]. They came from a [[Celestic Town|town where the past lives on]]... When I was growing up at their knees, they raised me on tales of the Pokémon of {{p|Dialga|time}} and {{p|Palkia|space}}. It's really thanks to those stories that I decided to become a Dragon type Trainer."''

* Being defeated
:''"Oh, dear me. That sure was a quick battle... I do hope you'll come back again sometime!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Oh, you! You're too much! You and your Pokémon are simply charming!"''

* General afterword (if chosen first)
:''"Oh, dear me. Was I the first to lose to you all? If I've made you feel too confident, that won't be very fair to the others... But I suppose you'd best hurry along to that elevator over there to face them for yourself."

* General afterword (if chosen second)
:''"Oh, you're going already? Farewell, then! And I was even the second you've beaten! Ah, I suppose it's just as well, really... Go on. It's time for you to show the last two of us how strong you are."

* General afterword (if chosen third)
:''"Oh, you're going already? Farewell, then! With your Pokémon, I'm sure you can beat the last of us."''

* General afterword (if chosen last)
:''"Oh, you're going already? Farewell, then! You have beaten all of the Elite Four! This is just wonderful for you. Congratulations!"''

=====[[Battle Chateau]]=====
* Before battle
:''"Oh, goodness, hello to you! I'm so glad you've joined us! I know that you're very strong. That will make this great fun!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Oh, dear me. That sure was a quick battle... I do hope you'll come back again sometime!"''

* After being defeated
:(if giving the player an item) ''"And, my word, wouldn't this just go wonderfully with your look? Do try it!"''
:''"Oh, you! You're too much! You and your Pokémon are simply charming!"''

* After defeating the player
:''"How can this be?"''

Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section.

Primal Reversion

2015-04-08T20:47:01Z

Thomasp3864: /* Pokémon capable of Primal Reversion */

'''Primal Reversion''' (Japanese: '''ゲンシカイキ''' ''Primal Regression'') is an ancient transformation that debuted in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Pokémon that have undergone Primal Reversion are distinguished by the word "Primal" in front of their species name. It is similar to [[Mega Evolution]], but instead of using the energy of people and Pokémon, the user instead absorbs the energy of nature to greatly increase its power. Primal Reversion is said to restore the true powers of a Pokémon.

In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|Orb]]. Like Mega Stones, Orbs cannot be removed if held by the appropriate Pokémon. Unlike Mega Evolution, however, the player doesn't need a Mega Bracelet, and also does not have to manually trigger Primal Reversion; it will simply happen automatically after the Pokémon enters battle and after any [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] take effect, but before the activation of [[Weather conditions|weather]]-changing {{Abilities}}. Also, unlike Mega Evolution, there is no limit to the number of times the player may perform a Primal Reversion per battle.

Soon after, {{me|Rayquaza}} appeared, battled, and eventually managed to defeat the two Primal Pokémon, causing them to return to their regular forms.

Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre are both set to appear in [[M18]].

Primal Reversion will be brought into the Trading Card Game with the release of {{TCG|Primal Clash}} ({{TCG|Gaia Volcano}} • {{TCG|Tidal Storm}} in Japan). Primal Reversion is an extension of the {{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Pokémon-EX}} mechanic, evolving from the long-standing Pokémon-EX. The only Primal Pokémon-EX are the {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Kyogre-EX|55}} and {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Primal Groudon-EX|86}} being released in the expansion. Although not exclusive to the mechanic, each Primal Reversion Pokémon features a new card effect named ''Ancient Trait'', providing an additional effect for each card.

Primal Reversion

'''Primal Reversion''' (Japanese: '''ゲンシカイキ''' ''Primal Regression'') is an ancient transformation that debuted in {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Pokémon that have undergone Primal Reversion are distinguished by the word "Primal" in front of their species name. It is similar to [[Mega Evolution]], but instead of using the energy of people and Pokémon, the user instead absorbs the energy of nature to greatly increase its power. Primal Reversion is said to restore the true powers of a Pokémon.

In order to undergo Primal Reversion, a Pokémon only needs to be holding the appropriate [[Colored orbs|Orb]]. Like Mega Stones, Orbs cannot be removed if held by the appropriate Pokémon. Unlike Mega Evolution, however, the player doesn't need a Mega Bracelet, and also does not have to manually trigger Primal Reversion; it will simply happen automatically after the Pokémon enters battle and after any [[List of moves that cause entry hazards|entry hazards]] take effect, but before the activation of [[Weather conditions|weather]]-changing {{Abilities}}. Also, unlike Mega Evolution, there is no limit to the number of times the player may perform a Primal Reversion per battle.

'''Draco Meteor''' (Japanese: '''りゅうせいぐん''' ''Meteor Shower'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generations IV and V===
Draco Meteor inflicts damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages.

===Generation VI===
Draco Meteor's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Dragon}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|DPPt}}{{gameabbrev3|HGSS}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky. The attack’s recoil sharply reduces the user’s Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|BWB2W2}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The attack's recoil harshly reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|XY}}{{gameabbrev3|ORAS}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Special Attack stat.}}
|}
|}{{left clear}}

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
Draco Meteor can only be tutored to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon (with the exception of Arceus, which can learn it regardless of which [[Plate]] it's holding). In the [[Sinnoh]] region, the tutor (grandma [[Wilma]]) can be found on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} in her house, and in [[Johto]], the tutor is in [[Blackthorn City]]. In the [[Unova]] region, [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B}} or [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} will teach this move at [[Opelucid City]]. In the [[Kalos]] region, there is a house on {{rt|21|Kalos}} with a tutor inside. In the [[Hoenn]] region, the tutor is an [[Expert]] in [[Sootopolis City]].

Similar to {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, the Pokémon to which the move is to be taught must have its [[friendship]] rating maximized.

'''Draco Meteor''' (Japanese: '''りゅうせいぐん''' ''Meteor Shower'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generations IV and V===
Draco Meteor inflicts damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages.

===Generation VI===
Draco Meteor's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Dragon}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|DPPt}}{{gameabbrev3|HGSS}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky. The attack’s recoil sharply reduces the user’s Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|BWB2W2}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The attack's recoil harshly reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|XY}}{{gameabbrev3|ORAS}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The attack's recoil harshly lowers the user's Special Attack stat.}}
|}
|}{{left clear}}

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
Draco Meteor can only be tutored to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon (with the exception of Arceus, which can learn it regardless of which [[Plate]] it's holding). In the [[Sinnoh]] region, the tutor (grandma [[Wilma]]) can be found on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} in her house, and in [[Johto]], the tutor is in [[Blackthorn City]]. In the [[Unova]] region, [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B}} or [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} will teach this move at [[Opelucid City]]. In the [[Kalos]] region, there is a house on {{rt|21|Kalos}} with a tutor inside. In the [[Hoenn]] region, the tutor is an [[Expert]] in [[Sootopolis City]].

Similar to {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, the Pokémon to which the move is to be taught must have its [[friendship]] rating maximized.

'''Draco Meteor''' (Japanese: '''りゅうせいぐん''' ''Meteor Shower'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
===Generations IV and V===
Draco Meteor inflicts damage and lowers the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} by two stages.

===Generation VI===
Draco Meteor's power was lowered from 140 to 130.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Dragon}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|DPPt}}{{gameabbrev3|HGSS}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky. The attack’s recoil sharply reduces the user’s Sp. Atk stat.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|BWB2W2}}|Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The attack's recoil harshly reduces the user's Sp. Atk stat.}}

|}{{left clear}}

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
Draco Meteor can only be tutored to {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon (with the exception of Arceus, which can learn it regardless of which [[Plate]] it's holding). In the [[Sinnoh]] region, the tutor (grandma [[Wilma]]) can be found on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} in her house, and in [[Johto]], the tutor is in [[Blackthorn City]]. In the [[Unova]] region, [[Iris]]{{sup/5|B}} or [[Drayden]]{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}} will teach this move at [[Opelucid City]]. In the [[Kalos]] region, there is a house on {{rt|21|Kalos}} with a tutor inside. In the [[Hoenn]] region, the tutor is an [[Expert]] in [[Sootopolis City]].

Similar to {{m|Blast Burn}}, {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, the Pokémon to which the move is to be taught must have its [[friendship]] rating maximized.

{{bulbanews|New Dragon attack in Diamond, Pearl announced}}
* In December 2005, prior to the release of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, [[CoroCoro]] Comics January ran a contest where fans could name the strongest Dragon-type move.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051206010318/http://www.corocoro.tv/html/yokoku/index.html CoroCoro.tv (archive)]</ref> Draco Meteor was the move that won this contest.<ref>[https://archive.today/E4Y6w Pokeani (archive)]</ref>
* Its Japanese name, りゅうせいぐん ''Ryūseigun'' (Meteor Shower), contains りゅう ''ryū'' (dragon), which is likely a play on its {{t|Dragon}} typing.

'''Mr. Backlot''' (Japanese: '''ウラヤマ''' ''Urayama'') is the owner of the {{si|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Trophy Garden]]. He is also said to be the owner of [[Amity Square]]. His house has a back garden where {{Player}}s can capture [[wild Pokémon]].

He is apparently a compulsive liar, as he will repeatedly insist that a Pokémon appears in his garden despite not even being [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|native to his region]]. His butler, who serves him well, covers up for his lies, importing said Pokémon into the garden and allowing the player to capture rare Pokémon not found elsewhere in Sinnoh.

==In the games==
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Mr. Backlot is said to be the owner of {{si|Pokémon Mansion}}, the [[Trophy Garden]] behind it, and [[Amity Square]], in [[Hearthome City]]. He resides in his office of the Pokémon Mansion, accompanied by his butler, and a guard. He takes a walk in his garden every morning, and discovers a new Pokémon everyday, surprising his butler. After saying that he is telling the truth about seeing the Pokémon, the butler leaves to add the Pokémon to the garden to cover up for his master's fibs. On any given day, the "planted" Pokémon that was in the Trophy Garden the previous time Mr. Backlot was last spoken with will also still be there, allowing a two-day window to catch each of these Pokémon.

===Quotes===
;When talked to
:''"Er-hem! There's a lot for me to be proud of inside, and outside, of this home... But what makes me the most proud is my trophy garden in the back! Why bother travelling afar when Pokémon are attracted by my garden? They come to me in hopes of seeing the garden! Well, doesn't that make you envious? You are envious, yes?"''
::'''No''': ''"I know you're really envious... You're not fooling anyone..."'' (conversation ends)
::'''Yes''': ''"Muhohoho... I bet you are! I knew you would be! But I don't mind! I enjoy sharing my stories with you! So! When I go out into my prized trophy garden, Pokémon come running to me. They sidle up as happy as they can be to see me! Well? Doesn't that make you envious? You are envious, yes?"''
::'''No''': '"I know you're really envious... You're not fooling anyone..."'' (conversation ends)
::'''Yes''': ''"Muhohoho... I bet you are! I knew you would be! But I don't mind! I enjoy sharing my stories with you! So! This is what happened this morning when I went into my trophy garden. I noticed a cute-eyed <Pokémon>, which joyously ran over to me. The <Pokémon> ran up and gave me a smooch on my cheek..."''
:''"Wha... Erm... Wh-what are you saying? I'm no blowhard! Listen... Mutter, mutter... Whisper, whisper..."''
:''"...It's true, I tell you! No lies ever leave these lips! There really are cute <Pokémon> in this garden! Honest truth!"''

==In the anime==
Mr. Backlot appeared in the episode ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]''. His Pokémon are cared for by his mansion's caretaker, {{an|Monica}}.

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met him at the mansion while escaping from the rain. Mr. Backlot welcomed the group to his mansion while Monica bought out some [[Poffin]]s. The next day, Mr. Backlot took the group out to his [[Trophy Garden]]. When {{TRT}} arrived with their [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], Mr. Backlot and Monica with Ash and {{an|Brock}} drove after the trio and sped through a forest. {{an|Dawn}} eventually found Team Rocket and Mr. Backlot and the group caught up.

After Team Rocket was defeated, Mr. Backlot and Monica returned to the mansion. He and Monica waved goodbye to the group and the {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} that Dawn caught as they headed off.

{{p|Swinub}} appeared at Mr. Backlot's mansion from a nearby forest. It would usually come over for something to eat.

However, after helping take down {{TRT}} and rescue the other Pokémon, Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her.}}

==Trivia==
* Mr. Backlot's Japanese name is a pun. His name is "Urayama" (ウラヤマ), but his butler adds ''shi'' (し or 氏, which in this case is a more polite form of "Mr.") to his name, making his name sound like the Japanese word for being envious, 羨ましい (''urayamashii''). In the game, he asks the player "Well? Aren't you envious?" (どう？うらやましいじゃろ？？) over and over before telling the player what new Pokémon are in his garden.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Elena, who trades an {{p|Eevee}} nicknamed Stevie to the player for any Pokémon in random hotels, mentions that Stevie was caught in Mr. Backlot's Trophy Garden.

The '''Crystal Onix''' (Japanese: '''クリスタルのイワーク''' ''Crystal Iwark'') is a special {{p|Onix}} with a body made out of [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|glass crystal]].

==History==
The Crystal Onix's first and only appearance is in the anime episode ''[[EP087|The Crystal Onix]]''. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first heard of it through a note they found in a bottle floating in the ocean. The note was written by a little girl named [[Marissa]]. She wanted to find the Crystal Onix to help her brother, [[Mateo]], gain inspiration to make glass {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} statues. Mateo told a story of how his grandfather discovered the Crystal Onix and then was able to make extraordinary sculptures afterwards. One of those sculptures included the Crystal Onix itself.

With the help of {{TP|Tracey|Marill}}, {{Tracey}} was able to assist greatly in finding the Crystal Onix's hideout.

Besides being made of crystal, the Crystal Onix is also unique from other Onix in that it can live in water without being hurt by it. Its glass skin also gives it a special resistance to {{type|Water}} attacks. Mateo realized that he would have to use a different type of attack to weaken it and so, he used his {{p|Charmeleon}} and attacked it with {{m|Fire Spin}}. It seemed to have a weakness to {{type|Fire}} attacks, unlike other Onix. Mateo was just about to capture it when he realized that he didn't need to. Just battling it gave him the inspiration he needed to create glass Pokémon sculptures. He thanked the Crystal Onix as it submerged itself into the water once more.

Fake Pokémon

2015-03-18T01:13:58Z

Thomasp3864: /* Mewthree */

A '''fake Pokémon''' (known commonly as '''Fakémon''' in the fandom) is a non-official {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. There are several ways in which one can be created and enter mainstream knowledge.

==Assumptions of real Pokémon==
Sometimes before the release of a new [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]], a silhouette of a new Pokémon will be released in [[Pokémon Wonderland]], with the picture shown the following month. In that timeframe, sometimes fans will guess what the Pokémon will look like and draw up their assumptions. Others interpret these assumptions as the actual Pokémon.

In other instances, a false name or evolution of a Pokémon may be invented by a fan before any official release. Other fans, again, interpret these assumptions as fact.

Some assumed Pokémon include:
* Pikablu, the assumed name of {{p|Marill}}
* Assumed [[evolution]]s of other types for {{p|Eevee}}
* Mewthree, the assumed successor of {{p|Mewtwo}}
* Nidogod, the assumed evolution of {{p|Nidoking}}
* Nidogoddess, the assumed evolution of {{p|Nidoqueen}}
* Enpanda, the assumed evolution of {{p|Teddiursa}} with a {{evostone|Moon Stone}}
[[File:Shellbro.png|thumb|right|A fake sprite for Shellbro]]
* {{p|Regigigas}}'s Sky Forme, a forme that was assumed to belong to either Regigigas or {{p|Shaymin}} before its official unveiling. This assumption may derive from the fact that both Regigigas and Shaymin were scheduled to appear in the eleventh movie.
* Porygon3, even after {{p|Porygon-Z}} was revealed, has been assumed to be a more defensive (and less erratic) branched evolution of Porygon2, due to the [[Dubious Disc]]'s dubious origin and Porygon-Z's decreased defenses.

* Shellbro, the assumed evolution of {{p|Shellder}} (usage of a {{DL|Valuable item|SlowpokeTail}})
* Kangaschan or Kanga, the assumed name of {{p|Kangaskhan}}'s baby, which could evolve into a male version of Kangaskhan.

Fake items, with accompanying "methods of obtaining", were invented to evolve regular Pokémon into fake Pokémon. For example, a "Mist Stone" was fabled to evolve every single Pokémon.

===Mewthree===
[[File:Mewthree.png|thumb|Mewthree in Pokémon ChaosBlack]]
[[File:Red Clefairy Mewtwo PM.png|thumb|right|[[Red's Clefairy]] referencing Mewthree in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
A common example of a well-known fake Pokémon is Mewthree. It appears commonly in fake [[cheating|cheats]] and fan fiction.

Rumors of Mewthree's existence within the [[Pokémon games]] have circulated since the [[Generation I|first generation]]. Many fake methods were created, that were often impossible to perform or resulted in the player deleting their save file. These stories have led to a number of [[ROM hacks]] focusing on this unofficial Pokémon. The most notable of these is {{DL|ROM hacks|Pokémon Chaos Black}}, in which Mewthree can [[Evolution|evolve]] into another fake Pokémon, Mewthree X, similar to, by name, Mega Mewtwo X.

Mewthree was also one of the names given to the silhouette of {{p|Lucario}} early after its release on many internet forums because it appeared strikingly similar to Mewtwo, as well as to Mega Mewtwo Y before it was revealed to be a Mega Evolution of Mewtwo.

Although it was a fake Pokémon, it was given an official mention in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where the scientists responsible for creating {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}, commenting on the success of its creation, decided to start making Mewthree. However, the plans never got beyond this due to Mewtwo's destruction of the lab on [[New Island]].

It was also mentioned in ''[[PM025|Bring Down the Strongest Pokémon!!]]'' of Pokémon Pocket Monsters where {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} called himself Mewthree after receiving {{TP|Blue|Mewtwo}}'s DNA.

==April Fools Pokémon==
Often for April Fools pranks, Pokémon websites will create fake Pokémon and attempt to pass them off as recently revealed new Pokémon. These often include some of the commonly assumed fake Pokémon.

Some April Fools Pokémon include:
* [[April Fools' Day 2005|Korechu]], supposedly created for a [[Nintendo DS|DS]] version of [[Hey You, Pikachu!]]
** It coincidentally looks strikingly similar to {{p|Shinx}}.
* Cell-phone {{p|Rotom}}, a supposed new Rotom form created by [[WTPT - Pokémon Radio]]
* {{smw|Yoshi}}, from an issue of {{wp|Expert Gamer}}
* [[April Fools' Day 2005|Chance]], a supposed pre-evolved form of {{p|Chansey}}
** Due to being a supposed pre-evolved form of Chansey, it looks similar to {{p|Happiny}}.

===Other prank Pokémon===
[[File:Shaymin Sky.png|frame|right|A fake sprite for the Sky Forme.]]
With the leak of {{p|Shaymin}}'s [[form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]] in name, but without images to back the claim up, PurpleKecleon, a well-known Pokémon artist, created a fake version of this alternate form.

Needless to say, many in the fandom jumped to conclusions about its veracity<ref>[http://eevee.livejournal.com/289857.html fuzzy notepad - Sky Forme Shaymin is fake]</ref>, as the trademark on the terms "Land Forme" and "Sky Forme" had already been verified, while there was heavy evidence that Shaymin would be getting an alternate form. Thus, it became easily the most well-timed prank in the Pokémon fandom.

PurpleKecleon, however, announced the next day in her [[wp:DeviantArt|deviantART]] journal that she had created the fake Sky Forme Shaymin. The real one was leaked some time later in artwork on drink cups from [[Pokémon Festa]].

Kaenchu<ref>[http://kotaku.com/5975401/how-a-phony-pikachu-tolled-japanese-twitter-users Kotaku - How a Phony Pikachu Trolled Japanese Twitter Users]</ref> (Japanese: カエンチュ ''Kaenchu''), supposedly a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, gained notoriety shortly after {{n|Pokémon X and Y announced|the announcement}} of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. Kaenchu's name derives from the Japanese words 火炎 ''kaen'' (meaning "flame" or "blaze") and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking). It was purported to be an [[evolution]] of {{p|Pikachu}}, capable of generating thermal power and unloading hydrogen explosions. At one point, it ascended to the fourth position of the daily trending topics of the website [[wp:Yahoo|Yahoo! Japan]] and was retweeted thousands of times on the social networking website {{wp|Twitter}} before being discovered to be part of a hoax.

==Fanmade Pokémon==
It is not unusual for fans to create their own fake Pokémon for pure amusement, often creating new [[type]]s (such as Light) and [[move]]s as well. These are usually openly displayed, usually on fanart websites or in [[ROM hacks]], and known about as being fake. Sometimes, however, one may be assumed to be a real Pokémon by another fan, depending upon the skill of the artist and the gullibility of the fan.

==In the anime==
[[File:Venustoise.png|thumb|right|150px|"Venustoise"]]
[[File:Magquaza.png|thumb|left|150px|Mismagius and Rayquaza fusion]]
In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}}, who had the ability to create illusions that were tangible enough to attack people, created a crossbreed of a {{p|Blastoise}} and a {{p|Venusaur}}, calling it a "Venustoise" (Japanese: フシギックス ''Fushigix'').

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', a real {{p|Mismagius}} merged with a dream-made {{p|Rayquaza}}, giving Rayquaza the color palette and some features of Mismagius. It then attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.
