Transfinite: /* His real name */

==Create==
So, why isn't there anything here? You could just put the basic stuff that is known about N, and a good picture, lock it, and that would make sure it's not flooded with speculation. I just feel like it seems very odd to have [[Bel]] and [[Cheren]] but not N. --[[User:ArcLumin|ArcLumin]] 23:12, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
:[[User:Umeko/N|We have an article on him with known information]]. But not enough for a main space article. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 23:15, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Ah. Hadn't noticed it, it doesn't come up very high on a site search. --[[User:ArcLumin|ArcLumin]] 23:16, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
:BP is having users create BW articles in their userspaces before being moved into the mainspace, which may explain that. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psy''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''ライダー''']]''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 23:22, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
::Makes sense. Although there may be conflicting articles when BW gets released. Oh well, it's not a big deal. --[[User:ArcLumin|ArcLumin]] 23:26, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

==Missing Battle==
You're missing a battle between Raimon City and the final match. I fought him in the Magnetic Cave and he used a team including Giar and Denchura's pre-evo. Wish I could give you more but that's what I remember. --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 02:59, 29 September 2010 (UTC)

== Legendaries ==

-does a double take at that- um, shouldn't there be some trivia on his article about him being the only trainer not part of some battle facility to use Legendary Pokémon against the player or something?--[[User:Darknesslover5000|Darknesslover5000]] 05:38, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
:Well there is [[Greevil]]..but that doesn't count now does it? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:42, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

== To settle it once and for all! ==
Like --The Great Butler said, there is another missing battle with N which takes place at route 6, in the cave. His team is: [[Gantoru]] lv. 28, [[Bachuru]] lv. 28, [[Giaru]] lv. 28 and [[Tesshido]] lv. 28. Here is a video of the battle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehV6YGzcPJc&feature=related. Now could Someone PLEASE add this to the article? [[User:TheBlackPokemonMaster]]
:You have to understand that we need not only the Pokemon he uses, but their entire movesets, too. We'll get to it when we get to it. I'm almost there in my game, so I'll do it then if someone doesn't beat me to it. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:45, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

== Champion? ==

It's never said in the game if he ever won this title. It seems he only battled Adeku and did not battle the Elite Four before and that he didn't want to be a Champion, as he wanted to make every trainer release their Pokémon after his victory over Adeku. But he did defeat all of Adeku's team and them claimed to be way stronger than the champion. Also, it isn't show the moment of registration of your team into the Hall of Fame, but the PC does register the team of your first time clearing the Pokémon League... So I have this doubt about his status when you last meet N.[[User:KurowaSan|KurowaSan]] 08:19, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:He's not the Champ...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 08:21, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trainer Sprite ==

Hmm... {look look look} Correct me if I'm wrong/rude, but was it not agreed upon that although Pokémon sprites were to remain animated .png files (and as such static in some browsers), Trainer sprites would be animated .jpeg files (and as such animated in ''most'' browsers)? {{unsigned|Giratina's Embodiment}}

:.jpeg/.jpg do not and never have been animated. I think you meant .gif. This sprite isn't even animated, it's just a normal static sprite. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 23:56, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

I KNEW I got the wrong file type! Anyways, sorry, I noticed that although N has animated sprites ingame, the picture was inanimate, and since it was a .png, I came to the logical (although incorrect) conclusion that it was an animated .png, hence why it wouldn't animate in IE.[[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 00:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== Harmonia ==

I found this name in several Japanese websites and the Japanese Wikipedia and mentioned something it about N's surname. Is this confirmed? [[User:神奇超龍|神奇超龍]] 13:59, 1 November 2010 (UTC)
*I personally can confirm Geechisu mentions the "Harmonia Lineage" in his pre-battle rant, so I'd say it's confirmed. [[User:Carrottime|Carrottime]] 23:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== Please Expand N's Bio in the games. ==

''N exists as an antagonistic character, appearing before the player at several points during the game to battle. Despite his aspirations, he refers to Pokémon as "friends".''

I say this needs to be expanded. It's very short and needs more clarification on how his childhood goes, how his father made him the leader of Team Plasma and how his father is using him for his schemes. It needs to be more clarified.[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 01:20, 6 November 2010 (UTC)

==English name==
I'm pretty sure his English name was confirmed as N. I noticed that it was added to the intro and removed. Why is this? [http://pokebeach.com/news/1210/pokemon-black-white-display-box.jpg This image] clearly lists his name as N. Or is this because the name N is not matched to this character, despite it clearly being him. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:05, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
:See [[Talk:Pansage (Pokémon)#Protect/Rename?|here]] [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 05:20, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
::I did. "N" is clearly written in the text, not distorted like the elemental monkeys' names. Besides, the big difference between that situation and this is that this does not require moving. Moving pages then relinking everything is a long process, and it is not good if it turns out to be wrong (especially for Pokémon). For this, it is adding 8 characters to the page (including the space and bolding). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:26, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

==Plasma Spoiler==
Is there a way we could change the opening sentences of this article to remove references to Team Plasma? I mean, yeah, him being the leader isn't the real spoiler among other things, but he's not linked to Team Plasma until his 3rd battle with the player or so, right? Could we change it to be like "N is a trainer in Black and White who battles the player regularly" or something to that effect?--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 01:51, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:It's spoiled in the opening that he's part of Team Plasma (it contains Ghetsis and the Team Plasma logo, which are seen in Accumula Town before you even meet N). As for being the leader, being crowned by them implies that he is at least very high ranking. Regardless, Bulbapedia does not generally avoid spoilers, other than with {{cat|soft redirects}} and the {{template|spoiler}} template, which is now at the start of this article. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:39, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::Also, I think that people who avoid spoilers simply don't read Bulbapedia articles on such character. We're an encyclopedia, our informations are supposed to be complete. Someone who reads Bulbapedia should know the risk of being spoiled. We're not an official-ish website that gives just superficial teaser informations about the games. We're an encyclopedia. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 09:46, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::Well if we're using a spoiler template at the top, would anyone else think it wise to change his name to N Harmonia? Ghetsis does mention that they share the same name, even if it turns out they aren't related. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 10:09, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::::But N obviously isn't his full name, so I wouldn't do that. If we ever get to know his real first name, I think a move would be possible. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:11, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::::I think it should be mentioned in the opening paragraph that his surname is Harmonia, but I agree with Maxim that we don't know that N is his first name (and I believe I read somewhere that it is confirmed to stand for something). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:14, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:::I... didn't actually mean to move the page, I just intended for the opening paragraph and infobox to be updated, like Ghetsis. [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] 10:43, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
::::I don't think the page should be moved either. I believe what Maxim was saying was that we would move it when we find out what his first name is. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Last battle team order ==

Since he uses Zoroak order of his team is important. I'm certain that his Zoroark was disguised as Klinklang in my battle with him, which means it's in his last slot. — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 15:28, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
:That was the case for me as well. The way the page had it had me thinking it would be disguised as Vanilluxe. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 19:16, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

== Technically, the champion ==

N does battle the Elite Four to get to Alder; they comment on how the player certainly isn't the first challenger they fought that day, and N does defeat Alder fair and square (enough to make Alder beg N to reconsider his goal). While he is not "proclaimed" champion and doesn't take the title, he's still as much a champion as the player is after beating champions in past games. This much should at least be acknowledged. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 17:35, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

== "You said you have a dream..." ==

Conjecture: N's last words vary depending on how you answered when he asked you if you had a dream at Chargestone Cave. If you said "yes," you get the scripts currently given in the article; if you said "no," in White you get what was in the article prior to [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=N&diff=1410834&oldid=1409461 this edit], and in Black you get the script that I wrote down in my playthrough:

Dream your dream!

Follow the path of truth to make that
dream a reality, and someday
you will achieve all that you dreamed of!

Well, then...

Farewell!

This would explain the discrepancies between the various last words given in the article (and the one I have). Can anyone check if this theory is correct? —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 02:52, 18 April 2011 (UTC)
:It is correct. The article lacks the two "No" scripts you refer to, in order to include all four scripts for the two scenarios. [[User:Nechifor|Nechifor]] 09:09, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

The name for 'N' could mean more than just the Latin letter; N's frequent mathematical references in his speech (such as formulas) suggest an origin to the common variable given to the set of natural numbers (see this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_number ). What to make of a connection between N and natural numbers is speculation (although they go to infinity much like the surface area of his Menger sponge on his belt), but would it be fair enough to at least add to his name origin that this refers to a common variable used in mathematics? [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 00:27, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

== En Harmonia ==
"N Harmonia" sounds (exactly) like "en harmonia," which is Spanish (and probably a few other romance languages) for "in harmony." Could this be the name origin? ----[[User:Zewis29|Zew]][[User:Zewis29/Articles|is]] [[User talk:Zewis29|(2]][[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|9)]] 22:02, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
:"{{wp|enharmonic}}" is already listed as an origin. It's more likely than the Spanish for "in harmony," seeing as his theme is composed almost entirely of enharmonics. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 12:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

== How do you know that he's Ghetsis' son or relative? ==

I don't think that it was even stated in the game. I'm temporarily removing that sentence that says that he's Ghetsis' only son till I see some proof. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 04:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:[[Ghetsis#At N's Castle]]. First quote in the "After N is defeated" bullet point. Generally, and the way he's saying it, having the same last name implies that they are related. Also, if N is not Ghetsis's biological son, he is his adopted son. "Father" does not explicitly have to mean a biological relationship. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 05:29, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:: Well we could change the sentence around a little bit. Besides we're not quite sure that he is 'directly' related to N as the game did not state that. One of the Seven Sages also said this despite the quote from Ghetsis' that you showed me. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:42, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
::: Actually N is his son. I'm playing the Japanese version of Pokemon Black, and in the castle the word Ghetsis uses to adress him is 'musuko' (息子) (even though he puts 'me' right after it, giving it a very rude, derogatory edge). This word is only used for your own son (otherwise it would be 'musuko-san') and does not have a secondary meaning like the English word 'son'. You do not throw it around, unless you really mean it; and considering the fact that Ghetsis was enraged at this point in the game, it's quite surprising he didn't deny him, given his character (but where would the plot twist be then?); and even if he had been pretending, there was no reason for him at this point to keep his façade up. Just the fact he used this word, even though he clearly didn't think highly of N, says a whole world about their relations. I don't remember N saying 'Father' anywhere in the game though.[[User:Frundan|Frundan]] 10:19, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

== N's eyes ==

at N's coronation, it clearly shows his eyes are blue. it is the only color that cannot be argued with solid evidence.

people say his eyes are green. not once have i seen an official picture where his eyes are that color. i myself am unsure where that came from.

others say they're gray. it seems that way, yes, but is it not because there is always a shadow over his eyes? even on the manga cover N is shadowed so that his eyes appear gray.

but like i said, in the coronation scene, it shows a close-up of them blue as the sky. i have yet to find a reason why they would appear that way if they were any other color.

: Have a look at [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/9/9e/Black_White_N.png this official artwork] image, they're green. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 10:29, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
:: I checked the opening. And they are indeed blue. And it's kinda hard to tell what color they are in the artwork. But I would like to point out that {{ga|Silver}}'s eyes are red in the opening but grey in the artwork and sprites. This could be the same thing. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 10:44, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

sorry, i'm still not seeing green there at all, and still dont get how you can get green from any of the official pictures of him. and i think silver's eyes are only red there to match the color scheme at that particular point of the opening.

[[User:.beautiful.intentions|.beautiful.intentions]] 04:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Yes, Harmonia again! ==

If the Japanese Games state that they are father and son (as stated above), then should that be definitive? The English hints at it, but never goes into it, and at the moment, when I hover over the word "father", about six lines worth of text comes up. Would it be better to have:

'''Relatives''' | [[Ghetsis]] ({{tt|Father|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

And likewise on Ghetsis's article:

'''Relatives''' | [[N]] ({{tt|Son|confirmed in Japanese games only}})

It's not too important, just an idea. I doubt we'll get a better understanding until the third game (if there will be one), and I didn't want to do it without running through the talk first. [[User:Samjohn95|Sam]][[User talk:Samjohn95|john]][[Special:contributions/Samjohn95|95]] 12:18, 30 July 2011 (UTC)
:I agree. This is a similar situation to {{ga|Silver}} and [[Giovanni]], where in the Japanese games it is confirmed, but only hinted in the English games. Sure, Giovanni and Silver are father and son in Adventures too, but that isn't why we do that the way we do. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:47, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

== N eyes are officially Blue/Gray ==

I enlarged and colour-picked the one in the article and they are grey; the same colour is used in his mugshot and in the official illustrations from the artwork released with the game by Ken Sugimori and the same colour is used in Pokemon Special. In the sprite his eyes are covered by his hairbangs so his pupils are only a single black pixel.

You can see Ken Sugimori artworks [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227070 here] and [http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1227065 here], you can see the ones in the article compared [http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/4318/neyes.png here]

There is no official illustration that depicts him with Green eyes.[[User:LurKasumi|LurKasumi]] 07:32, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== His real name ==

His real name is apparently [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir/?p=539 Natural Harmonia Gropius]. [[User:Master Lucario|Master Lucario]] 14:27, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
:Wow. I'm not sure if I like the name, but it's awesome that it's revealed. Now waiting for his English name (may or may not be the same) and other languages. Hopefully we'll see this name in "Grey". Anyhoo, could someone translate this entry in its entirety? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:55, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
::Apparently the nickname N also stands for "Natural number", which makes sense given his Menger sponge and his maths...iness. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 15:11, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
:::Possibly {{wp|Walter Gropius}}, one of the pioneering masters of modern architecture. But considering his childhood and his action, Gropius sounds a bit disturbing.--[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|對話]]'''」 18:43, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
::::Someone on Serebii translated it:

::::"Let me introduce part of the initial establishment of N --from here-- Real name is Natural Harmonia Gropius. N comes from Natural Number. N exceeds humans. His IQ is strangely high. He excels at maths enough to be called a magician of mathematics. A genius. Quick-witted. Has extreme mood swings. He can see the past and future of persons. There are rumours that perhaps he was born from a Pokémon. (Parents are unknown.) He loves Pokémon plenty, keeps distance from humans. He believes himself to be perfect. His ideology is to always put pokemon first and foremost. Since he is so unwordly, he's been feared by humans. Therefore, he has a very strong connection to Pokémon. --to here-- etcetera, etcetera..."

::::So yes, it is his real name, not just a name origin. There's also a ''lot'' of interesting trivia in there.- [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 19:12, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

== Welcome ==

Let me be the first to say welcome back [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokemon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 21:15, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

== A wild Maverick appeared! ==

Welcome back - though I'd put this here rather than forward the email you missed. Basically I was going to ask where you got all of the info regarding the new BW collection cards. From what I can gather all of the info is now on the Pokemon Card Game Network site, which requires you to be a member of the Daisuki club - and I cannot register. The concern I had is that I don't have a Japanese source as to get text and all that from, or did Umeko provide all of this for you? '''[[Surf (move)|~~]]''''''[[User:nuva-kal|nuva]]''''''-'''[[User_talk:nuva-kal|'''kal''']] 23:10, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:I was forcing myself to actually learn Japanese. I mostly compared the Japanese names of in game attacks with the cards. Anything that I could not either find and copy the text character for character, or copy/paste from one of the move/ability pages, I either had left the cards unfinished, or asked ume for them. There were only about five or six I did not do. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 17:49, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
::I've also hit a potential snag in the way some cards are named. I'm up to Castform on cards by Pokémon, which is where I've noticed it. The Pokémon with different forms have it detailed in smaller text, but this is actually part of the card name. The forms are referenced as the card's full name in several Poké-Powers and as to what they evolve from, as well as in official checklists, and the fact that you can play four of each of those with the form names. Not sure if you planned to rename these if/when you got up to them? - Though I would still like some input. For most instances this isn't a problem, but the Shellos and Gastrodon cards all have the form in their name, which will need a redirect with the way the cardlist header is set up. '''[[Surf (move)|~~]]''''''[[User:nuva-kal|nuva]]''''''-'''[[User_talk:nuva-kal|'''kal''']] 20:13, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
:::Well, I had also come across this problem with {{TCG|Unown}}. The way I began to think of it, was that the different sections for these Pokémon were not so much names as they were the different forms. I organized all of the letters into each of the groups, even though the EX Unseen Forces cards were not labeled "Unown A" specifically. This way provided a lot more sense into the different sections, for instance how all the cards in the first "Unown" section were the ones from HS era featuring more than one at once. I feel like having the three forms of Castform from Legends Awakened into the specifically grouped sections would be best for it. As for Shellos and Gastrodon, we can discuss that more in depth when those two actually come up. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 20:35, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::::This raises another question though, is it best to have for example a section for Sunny Castform, and one for Castform Sunny Form? This is what I was originally alluding to - that I think the cards in question should have the full names in the card article titles as they are with Unown over the course of the DP expansions. Considering I'm going over these with a fine-tooth comb anyway, moving them wouldn't be much more hassle.

== Welcome back! ==

Hi! I was so sad when I saw that you would leave forever,as TTEchidna and you were the ones who welcomed me here and supported my website. I do have a question, though, because I don't know how to do it. I finally created a page of Voltolos (White Collection 19) but the link to the secret Voltolos (White Collction 54) is still red. Could it be possible to create a redirect of this page : http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Voltolos_(White_Collection_54)&action=edit&redlink=1 (Secret Voltolos) to the original page : http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Voltolos_(White_Collection_19), just like it was done with Tornelos, Reshiram and Zekrom?

== Reprints ==

Now, as I am sure you are glad to hear, all of the cards by Pokémon pages are complete I want to fill you in on something I plan on tackling next. While going through cards for the cards by Pokémon pages, I noticed a lot of inconsistencies as to how cards with reprints are shown. With cards that have only one reprint, the tendancy is to place the image of the reprint lower down the page with the primary release in the infobox. However, I have found this to be distracting in some cases, particularly with cards that have more text with regards to different versions, or where it masks bullet points in trivia sections. 
What I propose is that we use the gallery underneath the release info heading that shows all variations and have the reprints detailed in the infobox that cycle, as articles with many reprints already feature. I know you personally are not a fan of the gallery when it comes to these, but I'm trying to think in the context of a casual browser/user. If they see one version of the card as displayed in the infobox, they can scroll down and see all iterations, and refer to the descriptions above to see individual details - I just think it structures the article more nicely. I'm sort of in the process of doing this, as I want to add concise info for distribution in promo card articles, specifically how they were for both English and Japanese releases.

== APNG v GIF ==

Since I never plan on registering on the forums, I'm going to bring this up here.

What was with the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=97285 massive arguing over the APNG vs. GIF debate] in which you kept using the reasoning to "just use Firefox" over and over (amongst other reasons)? Telling people incessantly to change their browser is really not a good way to go forward when it comes to user-friendliness for a Wiki. I for one, definitely would not go back to that bloated, memory-hog of a browser when Chrome currently does it's job perfectly fine with better functionality (like TweetDeck as an extension). However, I am aware that APNG's are not currently supported, and may not be for quite a while too. Do you see me kicking up a storm about it? No, because I chose my browser, and I am dealing with it's functionality (or lack of it, in this case).

How about next time to debate comes up again, you use the other sides of the arguments such as the server load, templating issues and the rest; rather than banging on about people's choice of browser?

As someone who is supposedly a Bureaucrat, you're not setting a very good example IMO. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 16:24, 3 February 2011 (UTC)

I knew that they would never change (for the reasons stated in the last post by evan), so no more actual debate was necessary. Now, I will admit that I didn't argue as elegantly as I should have, but I was fed up with him. He was extremely disrespectful towards Jello and her effort to standardize sprites.

== Hey there. ==

Remember how you said we had all the TCG scans? You might be mistaken. Now, I haven't looked extensively for these, but we seem to be missing scans from two critically important but little-known releases. For starters, several preview cards of the VS series were released in English at the Tropical Mega Battle 2001. The other scans we may not have are of the "Sample" editions of a few {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}} cards. The art is the same as the regular printing, but the "Sample" editions have Japanese backs, the word "Sample" near the lower right of the card, and are exceedingly rare. They were used to showcase the E-reader's capabilities in certain retail outlets. I've recently come into possession of a couple "Sample" cards, and have an acquaintance who may be willing to scan the others. So essentially... do we have these, and should we? The VS ones will be difficult to get... they're even more limited in printing. At the very least, mentions of the Sample editions should be included on each page of the involved cards (there aren't many) and mentions of the English release should be included on the pages for the VS cards involved. Again, there aren't many. I'll take care of that tomorrow. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 02:09, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
:First off, I know about the {{TCG|Tyranitar Half Deck}} cards. I made the page in September 2009, and already accommodated all those pages, such as the Clair Mantine resistance change. We already have Bugsy's Yanma in English, but as for all TCG scan purposes, it's the same: for the ARTWORK. Getting the English Tyranitar Half Deck images in not a priority, and in actuality, I think I have them somewhere. I showed them to you before, and you said how you hated the change in text font. They have the same artwork, and the 12 pages already have the English text quoted on the respective pages, and a release information section detailing their release.

== Naming conventions for categories ==

e-Card expansions. Should we keep them as they are, or name them according to their titles, e.g. The Town on No Map, Wind from the Sea, etc.? Just asking for the set categories is all, though I know you changed those that were not "e-Card" back to "e-Card" a while ago.

== Re:Move Images ==

...But HOW I can animate them? I use Screen Capture fuction for pictures... [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 14:45, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
:First of all, you're gonna need [http://www.4shared.com/get/C8wq5bwE/Animget.html Animget], Photoshop and [http://www.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Graphic/Graphic-Editors/Japng-Editor.shtml JaPNG Editor]. I assume you have an emulator, such as No$gba or DeSmuME (or Visual Boy Advance, why not?).
:You'll have to run the emulator and Animget.exe (I'd suggest that the settings of the emulator have 0 frame skips. It'll make the game slower, but more accurate.), and engage in a battle with the Pokémon whose move is the one you want to capture, right before your Pokémon uses the attack, go to the running application AnimGet and go to Observe, and then click ''Start'', the program is now taking screenshots of the game alone, don't worry about your desktop. Try not to press any key that might speed up the game, or the result might be not what you're looking for.
:Select the move, let the Pokémon use it and then immediately after, click on ''Stop''. If you found that they were good, then go to Screen Shots and click on ''Save'', that will make the screenshots go to the shots folder. I'd go to said folder and delete the useless shots, I normally find the shots useful when I see "[POKéMON] used [MOVE]!" until the attack finishes, and the HP bars are seen again.
:Open up Photoshop and create a [http://articles.sitepoint.com/article/file-processes-photoshop batch script], open the first screenshot and create the action, hit the record button and crop the image (Generation IV and V have 256x192 as the image size, so make sure to crop it well.), then save in a different folder, once you have it done, go to ''File'' > ''Automate'' and change the settings for ''Action'' (the name you used for the script), the source and destination folders (source being Animget/shots and destination, wherever you want them to be), File naming; for example, you were animating {{m|Absorb}}, you type in ''Absorb'' in one field, ''3 digit serial number'' in the other, and ''extension'' (not EXTENSION, because it'd show .PNG instead of .png, and it's not encouraged to do that) in the last one. You click OK, and PS will start doing the same for each and every file, saving in a different folder.
:Once it's done, open up JaPNG Editor, select the shots that were cropped and drag them to the window; you'll see a preview that shows the Pokémon really slow, you'll have to edit the display time (I normally use 33ms, but this may vary, try to compare it to the game), if you're using two-timed moves, you'll have to check that some of the frames need to have a longer duration (500ms, so the people can see it). And I normally use 500ms and 1000ms on the first and last frame.
:Don't forget, though, that people don't use Firefox, and as such, they might not see the animated file, so we need to choose a frame (drag and drop it from the folder to the top) that suits the move the best, drag it to the top and then check ''skip first frame''. That way, you'll see the animated frame, but they can see a preview of the move instead of watching the two Pokémon look at each other, not doing anything.
:With that done, you double check in the preview to see if something's missing, and then upload it to Archives. You can see my [[a:Special:Contributions/Masatoshi|contributions on Archives and see what I'm talking about]].
:If you have any other questions, you can ask [[User talk:Masatoshi|me]], I'll try to make it more clear for you. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 17:30, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

If you guys out there at BulbaPedia need Hi-Res Sugimori art of the BW Pokemon (rather than the very small ones), here's a useful link from my website : http://lightofthestars.com/poke-creators/sugimori2.htm

== Sorry about the mess ==

Just making the relevant changes as I go along, so I'll clean up once I get up to Triumphant, just in case you're wondering. I also feel "Expansion" is more accurate than "Booster" for the characters "拡張" used in the Japanese names for Base Set, Expedition and EX Ruby & Sapphire. I'll need the redirect pages I made for Base Set and Expedition (First Shot: Booster Pack and Base Booster Pack 1, respectively) deleted. I do a have a little conundrum though; the Japanese names for Base Set and EX R&S are the same, so do I just call one "Expansion Pack" and one "Expansion Pack (ADV)", or something along those lines?

== Hey there. ==

I know this is generally your job, but I happened to notice that [[Anville Town]], listed as a featured stub, was undeniably no longer a stub. As a result, I switched it to [[Half deck (TCG)]]. I know there's a traditional order of games-anime-whatever (or something like that) as far as featured stubs go, but the other two are still stubs and I figued I'd change it up a little bit. Half deck is an accessible article that I think a number of people will hopefully be able to contribute to, so I think having it there could be productive for a time.

In any case, just figured I'd let you know. Feel free to change it when you log on. Just thought changing it would be better than nothing, even if it's just for a short while until you fix it. Thanks. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 16:23, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

:It should be worded in a way that reflects that it didn't exist at the time; however, we are fixing pages in a very systematic order, and that card hasn't come up in the rotation yet. Please don't remove anymore. All the ones that match by either English name and Japanese name have been search diligently, and I personally don't want to have to triple check everything again just because someone decided to remove things.

== Can you delete this error page? ==

Hi! In the Daisuki Club, there was an official thumbnail image for the Eviolite card, whose bigger scan (and watermarked) can be found on PokéBeach. But the 1st link I created for the Eviolite card has some slight mispelling in it : (http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:EvoliteRedCollection65.jpg)

The good one is :
(http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:EvioliteRedCollection65.jpg), and I've done the translations by myself, so they might not be that much accurate, but al least I did my best to translate the thumbnail image.

== Can't Upload New Versions of Many Images ==

Hi again, so I did what you suggested and went to he Archives to upload new versions of images I had replacements for, only to find that a large majority of the images appear to be protected. I can't upload new versions of any of the Episode Images (I tried images from various seasons, all lacked the "Upload New Version" link), images such as a picture of Officer Jenny from the anime (not the main picture of her from BW, a screencap of a scene in the Kanto season). Is there something wrong specifically with my account, or are hundreds of images protected for no apparent reason? [[User:GetOutOfBox|GetOutOfBox]] 15:11, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
:Yesterday, when I said that card images are rarely protected, that was only specific to cards. Anime episode images, on the other hand, are more likely to be protected: especially the episode headers. All those changes typically need to go through the anime head, {{u|Kenji-girl}}. When the images weren't protected, lots of people would upload new screenshots based on what they personally thought was better, and many revert wars broke loose.

== Romanization issue ==

Hello! I'm not exactly sure which person is the best to discuss the issue that I've come across with a user named Maxim (I apologize, I don't know how to use the special link to the username and talk page.) First of all, Maxim decides to undo/edit the korean romanization that I worked on. He/she could've just waited till I had replied or asked for another person's opinions. I think it was a bit too rashful, especially the side comments that Maxim makes after each edits. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong, but I certainly am not the only one. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 22:40, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
:I actually saw this going on all day. As I am not really familiar with the way we handle Korean romanizations, I didn't want to get involved in making a decision on what to do; however, I do believe how Maxim went around and changed them without discussing it with anyone-including the person who did them (you)-was not a good idea. His condescending tone and word choice are usually something we administration have a problem with, and it's hard for us to deal with as well. The best advice I can give is to bring the issue up with {{u|MAGNEDETH}}, as he will be able to spearhead a debate on why either you or maxim is the correct one. Though I unfortunately know barely any of the EB knows about the korean language. Tell him that I sent you. I will also have a word with him later today about it when he returns.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]] and [[move tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature, though its morphology is actually more like a {{wp|jerboa}}. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail ending with a rounded tip. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew's feet are large with oval markings near its three toes. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.

====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to {{p|Rotom}}), creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 648 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}. It has been seen to be able to swim {{m|Dive|underwater}} as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its clone, {{p|Mewtwo}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Reports found in [[Cinnabar Island]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or [[Team Rocket]]-funded, which had sighted Mew in [[Guyana]], South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most. Since many scientists believe that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon, and a number of extraterrestrial Pokémon have been discovered, it is possible that Mew could [[Extraterrestrial Pokémon|inhabit other areas of the universe]], and whether it originates from [[Pokémon world|Earth]] at all is debatable.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:Mew movie 1.png|thumb|right|Mew in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (movie 1)|Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple of cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

In the Japanese version, Mew's characterization was different. Mew's intention was to wipe out cloned Pokémon, Mewtwo included, because it viewed them as inferior, in stark contrast to Mewtwo, who wished to eliminate natural-born.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.

====[[Mew (movie 8)|Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)]]====
Another Mew first appeared transformed as a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and then as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew Adventures.png|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mew debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to the {{DL|Pokémon Adventures volume 2|the next volume}}, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from {{adv|Green}}, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their {{p|Jynx}} was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful Psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone.

Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into the [[Indigo Plateau]] after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

It later reappeared in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. {{adv|Mewtwo}} notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the PokéPark. He then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the [[Sky Prism]] so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained Mew awaits Pikachu at the [[Sky Pavilion]] where he plays. In this game, Mew is referred to as male, despite being genderless in the main series.

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, it has to have been discovered before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is Mew's clone.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of [[Guyana]].
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas most legendary Pokémon need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}. The three of them also share base 100 stats.
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. These are the total numbers of Pokémon in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation IV]], respectively.
[[File:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Although Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}} is said to be the first of all Pokémon.
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same color, both {{Shiny}} and not, as well as having the same weight.
* In an interview with [[Game Freak]] and [[Creatures, Inc.]] in [[Nintendo Power]] issue 134, [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]] revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* In the US release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, it was released on the ten-year anniversary of the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. It also shares some traits with felines.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), a combination of mystery and new (considering its mysterious and "newly" discovered), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

Manga move errors

2011-09-01T00:25:04Z

Transfinite: /* Pokémon Card ni Natta Wake */

In the [[Pokémon manga]], a situation will sometimes occur where a Pokémon knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these are actual mistakes, a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely, or merely the Pokémon using an attribute that shares the name of a move in the games.

Occasionally, in-game event Pokémon that can be transferred onto the main series games have a move that is not normally included in that Pokémon's moveset (a prime example being [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]], which gave away four separate Pokémon with moves that were not normally available to that specific Pokémon).

==How I Became a Pokémon Card==
Pokémon in [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]] will often use moves that they cannot learn in the games. These are generally not errors, though, because this series is based on the [[Pokémon TCG]]; the "illegal" moves Pokémon use in this series are moves from their TCG cards.

== Unnamed cities, towns, and villages from the anime ==

I can make a page for each region ([[Kanto]], [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]) with a list of the nameless cities and towns featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. The pages show a list with an image from the episode, the featuring episode, the location (between so-and-so cities), and facts (such as festivals, events, history, leader, places of interest). Does [[Bulbapedia:Project Locations|Project Locations]] mind that?--[[User:Maximoss|Maximoss]] 15:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry for the late reply, but this happened because we implemented a [[n:Category:Articles by user|new category system]] on Bulbanews, and a whole bunch of old articles were edited to fix capitalization (Immewnity to immewnity primarily). Due to the way Bulbanews works, the new articles hadn't been edited recently enough and were pushed off the list.

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}
:[http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search Veekun already has this], and I think the way Bulbapedia is structured would make it very, very hard to implement here. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, totally forgot about veekun there haha and thank you so much for the feedback :)
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}

== Share Buttons ==

I feel that bulbapedia should have share on facebook,twitter and +1 google buttons to make it more popular and allow people to easily share and suggest information to their friends and family.This will help Bulbapedia further expand, get more contributors and grow. {{unsigned|Pokepranav}}
:Yeah, our staff is working on that feature but it is still not done yet. So, it will take some more days. Thanks for your concern :) ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 17:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required. [[User:PkmnChmp5|PkmnChmp5]] 19:55, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

==Wikirby==
The link to Wikirby on the NIWA directory is broken. It should link to http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Main_Page, but instead it links to the nonexistent http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Kirby_Wiki. Could an admin please fix this? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
:Fixed it. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 19:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed? (when replying, please note I don't really have much of an idea on the technical side of things here, like how much the server is affected) [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 04:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:trivia hasnt been allowed to encourage people to find other things to work on, not server load. with BW out, were still not 100% on that game, so people should be doing that, instead of trivia. occassional trivia is fine, but we cant let people go around and ONLY add trivia. its nonconstructive. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 06:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
::Now that makes more sense :) Though for me, you sort of imply a full ban of trivia with that thing above (with few exceptions being the likes of the things below episode articles).

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created. I think the categorization of the main page is essential, and that this change should be implemented on Bulbapedia. I look forward to your responses, and to working with you in the future! Kind regards, [[User:Rassilon of Old|'''Rassilon of Old''']] ([[User talk:Rassilon of Old|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rassilon_of_Old|Contribs]]) 06:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

''(indent reset)'' So what category would you like to use then? [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia]]? It seems to be the most obvious choice, ''and'' it is suitable to the main page's subject. I also agree with using CSS to hide the category.

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia. This is due to wikia's general lack of care for the fanbases they are supposed to serve. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
::Agreed. Wikia doesn't even allow the use of independent domains as far as I know. And you're right '''''TTE''chidna''', WikiA sucks. '''—[[User:AlexTheRose|Alex]][[User_talk:AlexTheRose|The]][[Special:Contributions/AlexTheRose|Rose]]''' 03:50, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

== Mobile Site ==

Bulbapedia needs a mobile site. I view on my device all the time. Not an app but a site. e.g. M.bulbapedia.org ---- DrBrock
:Is it really necessary? No. It provides the same information, not more, not less. But that is my opinion. Yes, I do go on Bulbapedia through my iPhone almost all the time. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 00:53, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
::I wouldnt quite go that far, Han. We have been discussing a mobile site, and we almost made an app. The mobile site is a lot harder than simply copy/paste code, and with companies getting really strict on apps, thats looking questionable as well. So the real answer is, do we '''need''' one? I dont think we do, but would we ''like'' one? Yes, but it isnt in the cards right now. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 21:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate. Also factoring the advent of 4G mobile services, I don't see it being necessary now or in the future. [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 16:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

== When is the ban on adding trivia going to be lifted? ==

Adding trivia is something of my area of expertise. I have no problem contributing elsewhere, but I'm just saying, this has gone on kinda long, hasn't it? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 02:20, 28 August 2011 (UTC)
:I hope you guys don't mind me butting in. But I have seen some people adding trivia. Just as long as it is useful and actually contributing to the mainspace. Even I got in trouble for undoing edits made under the trivia section. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 04:36, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

== Romanization templates ==

I'm looking through the wanted pages and... what are these romanization templates supposed to be used for? I'm confused. --[[User:Transfinite|Transfinite]] | [[User talk: Transfinite|Talk]] 23:15, 31 August 2011 (UTC)
:[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Romanizations/%E4%B8%8A%E9%87%8E%E8%BE%B0%E5%A4%AB They appear to be used for the anime staff by episode pages.] I don't know why they're set up that way, that seems to be the way they've been done for quite some time though. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:59, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Transfinite:

==Template Name==
OK, yes i am aware that the header name is "Pokémon Individuality", but the template name is "Pokémon Development". However, as the name is not finalised yet, it could well be "Pokémon Traits" or "Pokémon Properties" or "Individualistic characteristics" or anything else.
 Therefore, to prevent repeated moving and always having to update the individual pages for the template name, i'll leave it as it is for a while until the name is finalised. ---> '''[[User:AquaDragon|{{color|6890F0|Aqua}}]][[User_talk:AquaDragon|{{color|7038F8|Dragon}}]]''' 14:07, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Ability

2011-09-01T00:15:22Z

Transfinite: /* See also */

'''Abilities''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|特性|とくせい}}''' ''special characteristic'') are a game mechanic introduced in [[Generation III]]. Individual Pokémon may have just one of these special attributes, which generally serve to assist them in battle. Not every Ability is beneficial, though; some can actually hinder the user.

Some Pokémon may have the option of having more than one Ability. In this case, the chances of obtaining a Pokémon with a particular Ability are equally likely. These Pokémon are known as "dual Ability" Pokémon; similarly those with only one are known as "single Ability" Pokémon. Some single Ability Pokémon may have abilities unique to themselves or their evolutionary lines: a signature Ability. However, in the Mystery Dungeon games, dual Ability Pokémon literally have two abilities, which are both active.

Pokémon that [[evolve]] and have a certain Ability in their pre-evolution (dual-Ability Pokémon only), but evolve into a dual-Ability Pokémon upon evolution (such as {{p|Poochyena}} with {{a|Run Away}} or {{a|Quick Feet}} evolving into {{p|Mightyena}} with {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Quick Feet}}), the Pokémon will keep its Ability from its pre-evolution upon evolving (so a Poochyena with Quick Feet in [[Generation IV]] would keep its Ability upon evolving into a Mightyena, while one with Run Away would evolve into a Mightyena with Intimidate instead). If the Pokémon is a Single-Ability Pokémon, then it will still have a 50% chance for each if its evolution is a dual-Ability (Dependent on IVs).

Abilities were carried over into the [[Generation IV]] games, and some new abilities were added. Some Pokémon that debuted in the first three generations are able to have these new abilities, as well as their old ones, becoming dual-Ability Pokémon, but will keep the Ability they had in Generation III unless they evolve. All Generation III abilities were maintained, with the exception of the unused {{a|Cacophony}}. The only Ability listed after Cacophony in the game data, {{a|Air Lock}}, was renumbered, and the new abilities followed after.

In [[Generation V]], Pokémon obtained in the {{pkmn|Dream World}} have new hidden abilities, meaning that some species of Pokémon now have three possible abilities. Many of the new abilities in Generation V are exclusive to Pokémon met in the Dream World.

==List of abilities==
Each Ability listed here is linked to an article containing a list of Pokémon that can have that Ability. For those lists:
* Pokémon listed under 'Single Ability' can only have that Ability; for example, {{p|Mew}} can only have {{a|Synchronize}}. 292 Pokémon have just one Ability.
* Pokémon listed under 'Dual Ability' can have that Ability or another; for example, {{p|Chansey}} can have either the Ability {{a|Natural Cure}} or the Ability {{a|Serene Grace}}. 357 Pokémon may have one of two abilities.
* Pokémon listed under 'Hidden Ability' have that Ability only when obtained from the [[Pokémon Dream World]]; for example, {{p|Servine}} usually has {{a|Overgrow}}, but a Servine from the Dream World will have {{a|Contrary}}. 582 Pokémon have hidden abilities.

==In the TCG==
Abilities under the name of abilities did not appear in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} until the {{TCG|Black & White}} expansion kicking off [[Generation V]]. However, this was merely a renaming of the longstanding [[Pokémon Power]]s. Pokémon Powers were very similar to abilities, but were introduced much earlier, appearing in the very first {{TCG|Base Set}} during [[Generation I]]. In fact, some abilities from the games originally appeared as Pokémon Powers.

With the introduction of the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, Pokémon Powers were split into two groups: Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies. Poké-Powers are special effects that the player must trigger or announce using. A Poké-Body's effect is a passive ability that is always in effect. When Pokémon Powers became Abilities, these distinctions were done away with.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], excluding Dream World abilities, there are 106 Pokémon (almost exactly one-sixth of the total) who have unique Ability combinations.

Characteristic

2011-09-01T00:14:36Z

Transfinite: /* Ties */

'''Characteristics''' are a feature in the Pokémon games, introduced in [[Generation IV]]. A Pokémon's characteristic indicates which stat contains a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s highest [[Individual values|IV]]. It is displayed on the Pokémon's profile screen where its [[nature]], date met, place met, and [[flavor|flavor preference]] are shown.

A Pokémon's characteristic is determined by the remainder of its highest IV divided by 5 (known as {{wp|modulo operation}} in programming). Since it is built this way, Pokémon transferred from the {{pkmn|games}} of [[Generation III]] via [[Pal Park]] have a characteristic without their stats being changed.

==List of characteristics==

|}

Note that having a certain characteristic does not necessarily imply that the highest possible value for an IV is present. A Pokémon with an "Alert to sounds" characteristic could have a 6 in Speed (and thus very low IVs across all of its stats since none could be higher than 6) instead of a 31 in Speed.

==Examples==
A {{p|Mudkip}} has the following IVs:

{| align="center" style="background: #999; {{roundy|10px}} border: 3px solid #cdcdcd"
|-
! width="14.28%" style="background:#{{hp color}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | {{color|{{HP color dark}}|HP}}

| style="background:#{{special attack color light}}" | 29
| style="background:#{{special defense color light}}" | 24
| style="background:#{{speed color light}}; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 27
|}
Since its highest IV is 29 in Special Attack, its characteristic will be "Very finicky."

A {{p|Ditto}} has the following IVs:

{| align="center" style="background: #999; {{roundy|10px}} border: 3px solid #cdcdcd"
|-
! width="14.28%" style="background:#{{hp color}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | {{color|{{HP color dark}}|HP}}

|- align="center"
| style="background:#{{hp color light}}; {{roundybl|5px}}" | 8
| style="background:#{{attack color light}}" | 0
| style="background:#{{defense color light}}" | 0
| style="background:#{{special attack color light}}" | 10
| style="background:#{{special defense color light}}" | 17
| style="background:#{{speed color light}}; {{roundybr|5px}}" | 10
|}
Since its highest IV is 17 in Special Defense, its characteristic will be "Strongly defiant."

==Ties==
In the event of a tie in highest IVs, the IV that determines the Pokémon's characteristic is decided in the following manner:

Start with the Pokémon's [[personality value]] mod 6. The result is an index number of a stat in this order: HP, Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, Special Defense. In the event of a tie in IVs, the first IV checked is the IV corresponding to that index number. If that IV is not part of the tie, the game moves on to the next index number in the aforementioned order. If it goes past 5 (Special Defense), it wraps around back to 0 (HP). When the game finds an IV that is part of the tie, that is the IV that will determine the characteristic displayed.

Stat

2011-09-01T00:14:11Z

Transfinite: /* Notes */

:'''''HP''' and '''Hit Points''' redirects here. For the move commonly referred to in competitive battling as "HP", see {{m|Hidden Power}}. For the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] set commonly abbreviated as "HP," see {{TCG| EX Holon Phantoms}}. For HP in the Trading Card Game, see [[Glossary (TCG)#Hit Points|Glossary of terms]].''
----
'''Stats''', short for '''statistics''', determine certain aspects of {{pkmn|battle}}s in the {{pkmn|games}}. More specifically, stats may also refer to the numerical values of each field in regards to individual Pokémon.

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
===={{anchor|HP|Hit Points}}====
[[File:Pt hp bar.png|frame|HP bar in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
'''Hit Points''', or '''HP''' for short, determine how much damage a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. It is comparable to body mass rather than the toughness or willpower of the Pokémon. It is the most visible of the stats in battle, appearing both graphically (as a bar that is green, yellow, or red depending on how much HP is left) and as a current/total amount below the bar. Currently, {{P|Blissey}} has the highest HP stat among all the Pokémon in the game with a whopping 255 Base HP. The average HP Stat is 68 of all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 80. If a Pokémon has more than half their HP, the color of their HP bar remains green, if the Pokémon is between half or more than 1/5 their HP, the Pokémon HP bar will turn yellow (In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, if a player uses a revive the color of the bar would be green when revived to half of the player's Pokémon). If a Pokémon has less than 1/5 of their HP remaining, the color of the HP will turn red and a beeping sound (Generations I-IV) or a change of battle music with the beep as a metronome (Generation V) will notify the player that his or her Pokémon is in danger of [[fainting]] and will continue playing until the Pokémon is either switched out to another Pokémon who has more than 1/5 of their HP, treated to a [[potion]], [[herb]], or [[berry]] that will heal enough for it to be back in a yellow or green bar, or if otherwise faints.

Not only that, but the HP bar also affects the Pokémon's [[cry]], if a Pokémon has at least a green color in its HP bar remaining, the player will hear the cry of the Pokémon in its normal sounding rate, but, if the bar is on yellow, red, or fainting status, the sounding rate will sound like the Pokémon is in a weakend state, and will sound a half step lower than its normal sounding rate.

====Attack====
The '''Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[physical move]]. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Attack stat among all the Pokémon, with 180. {{p|Rampardos}} currently has the highest Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with 165. The average Attack Stat is 75 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 90.

====Defense====
[[File:StatsDP.png|frame|Summary Screen from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} showing {{p|Piplup}}'s stats]]
The '''Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a physical move. {{p|Shuckle}} currently holds the highest Defense stat among all the Pokémon in the game with 230. The average Defense stat is 70 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Special====
The '''Special''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals in regards to [[special move]]s. The Special stat was divided into Special Attack and Special Defense in terms of [[base stats]] in [[Generation II]], and further divided in terms of [[Individual values|IV]]s and [[Effort values|EV]]s in [[Generation III]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} had the highest Special stat among all the Pokémon in the generation in which the stat existed.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon can deal using a [[special move]]. {{p|Deoxys}}, when it is in Attack Forme, currently holds the highest Special Attack stat among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Chandelure}} currently has the highest Special Attack stat of all non-legendary Pokémon, at 145. Mewtwo currently has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon with 154. The average Special Attack Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense''' stat determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a special move. Shuckle also holds the highest Special Defense stat among all the Pokémon with 230. The average Special Defense Stat is 69 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 83.

====Speed====
The '''Speed''' stat determines how quickly a Pokémon can act in battle. Pokémon with higher speed will make a [[move]] before ones with lower speed under normal conditions. {{p|Deoxys}} in its Speed Forme currently holds the honor of having the highest Speed among all the Pokémon with 180. {{p|Ninjask}} currently has the highest Speed of all non-legendary Pokémon with 160. The average Speed Stat is 66 for all Pokémon, and the average for all fully evolved Pokémon is 78.

The speed stat is not used in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]; however, [[movement speed]] is considered its analogue in that series.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''Evasion''' stat determines the percent chance that an opponent's move will miss. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If the stat is decreased below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}}, then the opposing Pokémon has a better chance of connecting its move. If the stat is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, the opposing Pokémon will have a harder time connecting its moves. It was called '''"evade"''' in [[Generation I]].

====Accuracy====
The '''Accuracy''' stat determines the percent chance an attacker's move will hit. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with Accuracy-raising moves, in {{Pokémon XD}} the player can also raise a Pokémon's Accuracy by using the call action.

====Formula for accuracy and evasion====
The probability that a move will hit is calculated as follows:

[[File:Accuracy_calc.png]]

Where:
*''Abase'' is the base accuracy of the move (in percent - e.g. a base accuracy of 95 is counted as 0.95),
*''Accuracy'' is the current Accuracy stat of the user (in percent - e.g. raising accuracy by three stages raises this number to 2), and
*''Evasion'' is the current Evasion stat of the target (in percent - e.g. lowering evasion by two stages lowers this number to 0.6).

If P is greater than 1, the move will surely hit. In a 2-on-2 battle, it is possible for a move that hits two or three targets to miss some of the targets and hit others - the probabilities are calculated individually for each move.

==Determination of stats==
===Base stats===
A Pokémon's [[base stats]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stats in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 255 EVs in a single stat.

===Formula===
:''See also: [[Damage modification#Damage formula|Damage calculation]]''
====In Generations I and II====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 81 Pikachu with the following IV's and EV's:
{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{electric color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{electric color}}"

Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleHPGen2_2.png]]

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen2_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen2_2.png]]


Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

Note that some numbers may be off by one due to rounding.

====In Generations III and IV====
The stat is rounded down if the result is a decimal. It is also rounded down before the nature mutiplier, if any, is applied.

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP, which is always 1, the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4.

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IV's and EV's and an '''Adamant''' nature:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"
|-
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytl|5px}} width:60px;" |
! style="background:#{{HP color}}; width:60px;" | HP
! style="background:#{{Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Attack
! style="background:#{{Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Defense
! style="background:#{{Speed color}}; width:60px;" | Speed
! style="background:#{{Special Attack color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Atk
! style="background:#{{Special Defense color}}; width:60px;" | Sp.Def
! style="background:#{{ground color light}}; {{roundytr|5px}} width:60px;" | Total
|- align="center" style="background:#fff;"
! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"| Base stat
|108
|130

! style="background:#{{ground color light}};"|EV
|74
|195
|86
|23
|48
|84
|'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

[[Image:StatExampleHPGen4.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleHPGen4_2.png]]

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:

[[Image:StatExampleAttackGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleAttackGen4_2.png]]

And its Special Attack stat will be:

[[Image:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpAtkGen4_2.png]]

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen4_1.png]]
[[Image:StatExampleSpeedGen4_2.png]]

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" align="center" style="background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}};"

==Stat modifiers==
Some [[move]]s and [[Ability|abilities]] can change stats during battle, raising them and lowering them as part of the effect. Some [[item]]s will also do this.

In-battle stat modifiers multiply specific stats by a certain amount, meaning that a higher starting stat will have a bigger change. For each stat, there are six stages of increase, and six stages of decrease. The stages are cumulative: adding a stage of increase, and then a stage of decrease, results in no net change to the stat. The six stages of increase are x1.5, x2.0, x2.5, x3.0, x3.5, and x4.0. The six stages of decrease are 2/3, 1/2, 2/5, 1/3, 2/7, and 1/4. Accuracy and Evasion modifications are calculated in a different manner<ref>According to [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpost.php?p=341891&postcount=7 this post] on the Smogon University forums, the formula simply uses a base numerator and denominator of 3 instead of 2 (that is, the modifiers are instead x1.33, x1.66, x2.0, etc. on the plus side and x0.75, x0.60, x0.5, etc. on the minus side).</ref>. However, in the [[Generation I]] handheld games, the accuracy and evasion modifiers are the same as the normal stat modifiers<ref>[http://wiki.ポケモン.com/wiki/命中 Pokémon Wiki page on Hit calculation (JP)] The first section pertains to Generation I.</ref>; this was changed in the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and all international versions.

Some modifiers, such as {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}, do not work with the above stages, and thus can stack on top of them. For example, a Pokémon with Pure Power and six stages of increase in Attack would have eight times its normal attack.

In [[Generation IV]], during a {{DL|Weather conditions|Sandstorm}}, all {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon gain 50% Special Defense, which does not work with stages.

All stat modifiers listed below, except the [[vitamin]]s, [[wing]]s, and the EV [[Berry|Berries]], will increase the corresponding stats only for the battle that they are used in.

===Stages===
When a [[status move]] is used that is meant to increase or decrease a stat of an in-use party or foe Pokémon it will be measured according to the following fractions<ref>Stage numbers from [http://www.psypokes.com/lab/stats.php Psypokes.com], some fractions simplified.</ref>:

Level

2011-09-01T00:13:43Z

Transfinite: /* Trivia */

'''Levels''' are a measurement of how strong a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} currently is. They are portrayed differently in the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{pkmn|games}}, {{pkmn|manga}}, and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]].

==In the games==
[[File:Level.png|thumb|right|Level bar in {{game|Black and White|s}}]]
Levels are featured predominantly in the Pokémon games. They are determined by how much [[experience]] that Pokémon has. A Pokémon's level will range from 1 to 100. When a Pokémon gains a level, its stats increase by a small amount. It may also learn a new [[move]] or [[evolution|evolve]]. Opponent's levels may be viewed in-battle, and {{player}}s may see their own Pokémon's levels in-battle, in the [[PC]] or by using the [[menu]].

A Pokémon's level will also affect its [[happiness]], raising it slightly when the Pokémon levels up. This means that a {{p|Cleffa}} trained in battle will eventually evolve into a {{p|Clefairy}}, with its happiness going up slightly each level. Using Rare Candies will also raise happiness, though for a long time people thought it did not, due to a Pokémon's happiness also being raised by the large amount of walking.

===Level cap===
In the [[Pokémon games]], the level cap is level 100. When a Pokémon has reached level 100, it cannot gain any more [[experience]] or level up. Due to this, level 100 Pokémon cannot [[Methods of evolution#Leveling up|evolve in any way which requires leveling up]].

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}, when a Pokémon has reached level 100, even if it has not gained maximum {{EV}}s, it cannot continue gaining EVs through battle. [[Vitamin]]s can still be used to raise EVs. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the player can use the [[box trick]]. In Generation {{gen|V}} stats are recalculated after every battle, so a level 100 Pokémon gains and applies EVs normally.

By exploiting the [[old man glitch]] in Generation I, a Pokémon can be acquired at a level higher than 100. Also in Generation I, any Pokémon can also be raised to a level above 100 via the [[Pokémon merge glitch]]; however, Pokémon in the Slow experience group need to be merged with a [[glitch Pokémon]] who requires even more experience at level 100. These Pokémon can continue to be leveled up with [[Rare Candies]] until level 255. Whenever a Pokémon over level 100 gains any amount of [[experience]], its level will revert to 100, and if a Rare Candy is fed to a level 255 Pokémon, it will revert to level 0.

In Generations I, II,and III, Pokémon were not legitimately available at a level below 2 due to the fact that in Generations I and II Pokémon assigned to the [[Experience#Medium Slow|"Medium Slow" experience formula]] (1,059,860 Exp. at level 100) had a ''negative'' experience value at level 1, causing them to level up instantly to 100 if they were to gain less than 54 experience points in battle (a high possibility on the games' early routes). Due to this, Pokémon on the games' earliest routes were found level 2 or level 3, and starter Pokémon are given out at level 5. When a Pokémon egg is hatched in Generation II and Generation III, it will likewise be at level 5.

This oddity was corrected in Generation III via use of a lookup table, rather than the use of a programmed equation in Generation I and II, to determine level via experience points, though eggs still hatched at level 5, and no wild Pokémon could be found at a level below 2, possibly to maintain continuity. In Generation IV, however, this was changed, with eggs now hatching at level 1 and certain special Pokémon being available in the wild at level 1. Pokémon on the early routes of the games are still found at their lowest at level 2, however, and starter Pokémon are still given out at level 5 even as of Generation V.

===Underleveled Pokémon===
Through some unique circumstances, it is possible to have Pokémon at a lower level than they are usually available via evolution. Underleveled Pokémon appeared as early as {{v2|Red and Green|s}}, with level 4-6 {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Metapod}} available in [[Viridian Forest]]. Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7.

Prior to Generation V, Pokémon obtained in [[List of in-game trades|in-game trades]] are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades. For example, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, it is possible to obtain an {{p|Electrode}} as low as level 2, even though the species evolves from {{p|Voltorb}} only at level 30 or above. This Electrode can be obtained by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]] at level 2, evolving it with the {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and trading it on [[Cinnabar Island]].

Some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, [[Lance]] has three underleveled {{p|Dragonite}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with one being at level 40 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. Many other in-game Trainers also possess underleveled Pokémon.

The [[Pomeg glitch]] allows players to obtain any stage of a Pokémon capable of being hatched from an egg. In {{v2|Emerald}}, this means that all these Pokémon can be obtained at level 5; in [[Generation IV]], these Pokémon can be obtained at level 1. This glitch was fixed in [[Generation V]].

===Disobedience===
When a Pokémon is obtained in a trade, it oftentimes will not obey the player's commands if it is at too high a level. The Pokémon will either ignore orders and use a different move, do nothing at all and loaf around, or go to {{status|sleep}}. This can be corrected if the player has the proper [[badge]]s. Having fewer than two badges means that no traded Pokémon whose level is above 10 will obey the player, while having all eight makes all Pokémon obey the player. The specific badges that cause a rise in the level of obeying Pokémon can be found on their page, though they are typically the second, fourth, sixth, and eighth badges obtained. Unova breaks this trend, with each badge giving various levels of obedience.

==In the anime==
The concept of levels of Pokémon is not as detailed, nor as frequently mentioned, in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The first time levels were referred to was briefly by {{MTR}} during the second episode when he said [[Ash's Pikachu]] was "powerful beyond its evolutionary level."

It was later mentioned more obviously by students at the [[Pokémon Tech|Academy]] in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. {{ka|Joe|One of them}} was able to quote the levels at which {{p|Pidgey}} and the rest of its family [[evolution|evolve]] and learn certain [[move]]s, and [[Giselle|another]] stated that Pikachu should be at least level 25. However, the main characters and their Pokémon remain seemingly oblivious to the idea.

{{an|Misty}} mentions them in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' where she says "That {{p|Rhyhorn}} must be at a ''high level''!" referring to a Trainer's Rhyhorn's formidable strength as it uses {{m|Take Down}} on {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, severely injuring it. This confirms that she is aware of levels and that the ability to inflict damage on certain Pokémon becomes easier when a Pokémon grows a level.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} comments that [[Ash's Charizard]] is on a higher level than he thought.

{{an|Brock}} mentions them once, in ''[[EP201|Doing What Comes Natu-rally!]]''. He states that moves become more powerful as a Pokémon's level is raised; and {{Ash}} adds that the best way to raise levels is by battling. Despite this, Ash's most used Pokémon, {{AP|Pikachu}}, doesn't show signs of being at a higher level than any other Pokémon. After appearing in more than 700 episodes, and battling in most of them, its level would be expected to be very high; however, at the start of each [[series]] of the anime, it either has as hard a time defeating other Trainers' Pokémon as his more recently-obtained Pokémon do or outright loses against them, including [[Trip]]'s recently-obtained {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}.

[[Dawn's Piplup]] also shows that the anime does not strictly follow the games' system. In its debut episode, it used {{m|Bide}}, a move Piplup normally does not learn until level 18, by which point it would be showing signs of evolution. This did not happen until ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]''. Therefore, level up moves can generally be learned at any time in the anime.

In the [[SS019|two Mystery]] [[SS020|Dungeon specials]], levels are mentioned, but not explained. This may mean that Pokémon themselves understand the concept of levels in the anime but humans do not.

==In the manga==
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
The concept of levels appears rarely in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga; however, in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', [[Samurai]] specifically mentions level 99 {{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Magikarp}} which can be found in the [[Hidden Village]].

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey and Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪ manga===
Levels do not appear to exist in the world of the manga series [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] and its sequel, [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
At the end of every {{adv|volume}}, the current levels of one of the main characters' Pokémon are given in a Pokédex section.

==Trivia==
* Before [[Generation IV]], it was impossible to get a Pokémon at level 1 without the aid of a glitch or cheating device. The lowest level Pokémon would be at level 2 in the wild, and eggs would hatch at level 5. In Generation IV, however, eggs are hatched at level 1, {{p|Regigigas}} and {{p|Magikarp}} can be caught at level 1 in {{game|Platinum}}, and {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} can be obtained at level 1 in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to encounter and catch Pokémon at levels over 100 through the [[old man glitch]], and encounter them in [[glitch Trainer]]s' parties through the [[Mew glitch]].

'''Natures''' (Japanese: '''せいかく''' ''Personality'') are the Pokémon analogue of personalities. They were introduced in the [[Generation III]] games and remain a game mechanic in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]]. Every Pokémon in these games has one of these 25 natures, listed and described in the section below.

A Pokémon's nature usually affects the growth rate of two of its [[stats]], ultimately increasing one of its stats by 10% and decreasing another by 10%. Natures also determine the Pokémon's favorite flavor and its disliked flavor. Each stat is tagged to a flavor (e.g. Attack-Spicy), and if the nature boosts the stat, the tagged flavor will be the Pokémon's favorite (i.e. Lonely boosts Attack, hence a Lonely-natured Pokémon's favorite flavor is Spicy). The opposite also holds true (i.e. Bold hinders Attack, so a Bold-natured Pokémon will dislike Spicy food).

Every nature represents one of the 25 unique possible combination of stat increase and decrease, thus there are five natures that have no effect on the Pokémon's stat growth (Bashful, Docile, Hardy, Quirky and Serious). These five "neutral" natures are technically natures that increase and decrease the same stat.


From {{v2|Emerald}} onwards, a {{p|Ditto}} or a female Pokémon that holds an {{evostone|Everstone}} has a 50% chance of passing its nature to its offspring when at the Pokémon daycare. Since {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, male Pokémon can also pass on their nature with an Everstone. In Generation IV, parents could only pass natures to their offspring if both Pokémon and the Trainer all come from a game in the same language; however, this is no longer the case as of {{2v2|Black|White}}. Also from Emerald onwards, if the Pokémon with the [[ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} is leading the [[party]], there is a 50% chance of encountering a wild Pokémon with the same nature. Synchronize does not have this effect on stationary {{pkmn2|legendary|legendaries}} on Emerald, however it works on virtually all Pokémon in every game released since; the only known exceptions in Generation IV are when Pokémon are received from an NPC, such as the {{p|Eevee}} given out by [[Bill]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, when Pokémon are received in a museum after being resurrected from fossils, or when catching Pokémon during a stroll in the [[Pokéwalker]] bundled with HeartGold and SoulSilver games.

Natures also dictate the manner in which Pokémon battle by themselves at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Palace}}, different natures make the Pokémon use different methods of attacks and change tactics when they are low on health. Also, the five non-increasing/decreasing natures have different battle styles at the Battle Palace. A man in a house closest to the [[Sunyshore City]] Heritage Site asks to see {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with different natures (Naive, Serious, and Quirky), and will give the {{player}} three [[Pokétch]] applications.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White}}, the stat increased or decreased by a Pokémon's nature has a red or blue shadow respectively when viewing that Pokémon's Summary Screen.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, Trainers themselves have natures. The nature can be viewed and changed on the {{ga|Trainer card}}. These natures affect what the player will say on others' games at [[Unity Tower]].

==Battle style==
Depending on a Pokémon's nature, its battle style changes in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Palace}} or the {{pkmn|Battle Tent}} of [[Verdanturf Town]]. This does not affect its battling outside of those areas.

All attacks are grouped into three categories: Attack, Defense, and Support. The following is the list of attacks per category:
* '''Attack''': Any attack not listed under Defense or Support.
* '''Defense''': All moves targeting itself, as well as {{m|Bide}}. These include {{m|Acid Armor}}, {{m|Agility}}, {{m|Amnesia}}, {{m|Aromatherapy}}, {{m|Barrier}}, {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Bulk Up}}, {{m|Calm Mind}}, {{m|Camouflage}}, {{m|Charge}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Cosmic Power}}, {{m|Defense Curl}}, {{m|Destiny Bond}}, {{m|Detect}}, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Dragon Dance}}, {{m|Endure}}, {{m|Focus Energy}}, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Growth}}, {{m|Grudge}}, {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Harden}}, {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Heal Bell}}, {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{m|Howl}}, {{m|Imprison}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Iron Defense}}, {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Meditate}}, {{m|Milk Drink}}, {{m|Minimize}}, {{m|Mist}}, {{m|Moonlight}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, {{m|Mud Sport}}, {{m|Perish Song}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{m|Recover}}, {{m|Recycle}}, {{m|Reflect}}, {{m|Refresh}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, {{m|Sharpen}}, {{m|Slack Off}}, {{m|Softboiled}}, {{m|Splash}}, {{m|Stockpile}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Sunny Day}}, {{m|Swallow}}, {{m|Swords Dance}}, {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Tail Glow}}, {{m|Teleport}}, {{m|Water Sport}}, {{m|Wish}}, and {{m|Withdraw}}.
* '''Support''': All moves that do not deal damage and are not categorized under Defense, as well as {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. These include {{m|Assist}}, {{m|Attract}}, {{m|Block}}, {{m|Charm}}, {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Cotton Spore}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Encore}}, {{m|Fake Tears}}, {{m|FeatherDance}}, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Flatter}}, {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Glare}}, {{m|GrassWhistle}}, {{m|Growl}}, {{m|Hypnosis}}, {{m|Kinesis}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Lock-On}}, {{m|Lovely Kiss}}, {{m|Magic Coat}}, {{m|Mean Look}}, {{m|Memento}}, {{m|Metal Sound}}, {{m|Metronome}}, {{m|Mimic}}, {{m|Mind Reader}}, {{m|Mirror Coat}}, {{m|Mirror Move}}, {{m|Nature Power}}, {{m|Nightmare}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Pain Split}}, {{m|Poison Gas}}, {{m|PoisonPowder}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Role Play}}, {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Scary Face}}, {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Sing}}, {{m|Sketch}}, {{m|Skill Swap}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}}, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, {{m|SmokeScreen}}, {{m|Snatch}}, {{m|Spider Web}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Spite}}, {{m|Spore}}, {{m|String Shot}}, {{m|Stun Spore}}, {{m|Supersonic}}, {{m|Swagger}}, {{m|Sweet Kiss}}, {{m|Sweet Scent}}, {{m|Tail Whip}}, {{m|Taunt}}, {{m|Teeter Dance}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Tickle}}, {{m|Torment}}, {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Transform}}, {{m|Trick}}, {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}, and {{m|Yawn}}.

All natures have a set ratio of Attack, Defense, and Support moves; these change when the Pokémon's HP falls below 50%. This represents the likelihood a particular category of attack is chosen. During battle, a random attack from the Pokémon's moveset in the selected category is chosen; if no such attack exists, the Pokémon will "appear incapable of using its power", and will skip its turn.

The following table lists each nature and its move type preferences; it may be rearranged by clicking the boxes next to each column's heading.

Effort values

2011-09-01T00:13:04Z

Transfinite: /* See also */

'''Effort values''' (abbreviated '''EVs''' and previously called '''Stat Exp''') are attributes which give bonuses to a Pokémon's [[stats]] and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. These bonuses, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. A Pokémon which increases in level using a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} instead of battling does not gain any EVs, making it weaker than a Pokémon who increases in level normally.

Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 {{p|Machop}} will improve a Pokémon's Attack stat more than fighting 100 {{p|Abra}} of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more.

Unlike experience points, effort points are not ''shared'' amongst each Pokémon that participate in defeating a Pokémon- rather, each of the Pokémon will receive the standard amount of effort points.

In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] effort points given are equal to the Pokémon's [[base stats]]. For a list of the effort points that Pokémon give away on their defeat in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]].

Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights. Should a Pokémon attain the maximum amount of 510 effort values, it will be eligible to receive an {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Effort Ribbon}} to signify this achievement ([[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}).

Effort values only appear in the [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, and are not present in the spin-off games, such as the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series.

==Generation I==
The EV system was introduced in [[Generation I]], where it was also called '''Stat Experience''' or '''Stat Exp'''.

The [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|Pokémon data structure]] contains two EV bytes for each the five stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed and Special), starting at zero when caught and with a maximum EV of 65535 for each stat. When a Pokémon is defeated, its [[base stats]] are converted to effort points and then added to the EVs. For example, defeating a {{p|Mew}} grants 100 effort points to each EV. (Defeating 656 {{p|Mew}}, therefore, will give a Pokémon maximum EVs in each stat.)

EVs are factored into the Pokémon's stats when it levels up. Additionally, EVs are calculated into stats when a Pokémon is taken from Bill's PC; this is called the [[box trick]]. A Pokémon which reaches level 100 can continue to accrue EVs up to the maximum of 65535 in each stat, and use the [[box trick]] to have those EVs factored in.

[[Vitamins]] add 2560 to one stat's EV, but cannot raise a stat above 25600. Unlike the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} in later games, the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. All}} did not share EVs.

At level 100, the formula for determining the stat difference between a Pokémon trained in that stat and an untrained Pokémon is [[File:EV Formula GenI.png|114px]].

==Generation II==
EVs behave the same in [[Generation II]] as they did in [[Generation I]]. Both Special Attack and Special Defense share the EV for Special to maintain compatibility. The [[box trick]] can still be used.

[[Generation II]] introduced the [[Pokérus]], a rare [[status ailment]] which doubles the effort points gained in battle.

==Generation III==
[[Generation III]] completely overhauls the effort value structure. Effort points are now separate values from the base stats. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 '''effort points''' to a particular stat, depending on species (see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the [[Battle Tower]] or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any effort points. At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat. For every Pokémon that has gained Effort Points in battle, stats will be recalculated upon leveling up, except for {{p|Deoxys}}, whose stats will be recalculated after every battle instead. Stats are also recalculated immediately if a [[Vitamin]] or stat-reducing Berry (see below) is used on the Pokémon.

Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. However, at level 100, since a stat increases by 1 point for every 4 effort points, only 252 effort points are required to maximize a stat.

[[Vitamin]]s add 10 effort points, but cannot raise a stat above 100, or raise the total above 510. A new vitamin, {{DL|Vitamin|Zinc}}, enhances Special Defense.

If a Pokémon holds an {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}}, it will receive effort points even if the battling Pokémon has maxed out its effort points. If the Pokémon with the Exp. Share has Pokérus, the amount of effort points received is doubled.

A new held item, the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, doubles the effort points gained in battle. In combination with the [[Pokérus]], a Pokémon can gain four times the normal effort points. However, the effects of the item do not transfer to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

In {{game|Emerald}}, certain [[Berry|Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblock]]s can decrease certain effort values by 10 effort points, while increasing the [[happiness]] of the Pokémon they were used on. These berries are:

|} 

==Generation IV==
Most of the [[Generation IV]] EV system remains unchanged from [[Generation III]], however, EV-reducing berries will reduce Effort Points to 100 if the current Effort Points for the stat were above 100.

A new series of items exist which give an additional four effort points per Pokémon defeated. Each applies the bonus to a different stat, in addition to the normal effort points gained. The bonus effort points are also doubled by the [[Pokérus]]. The effects of these items do not transfer over to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

If a Pokémon has [[form differences|alternate forms]] that change its [[stats]] (e.g. {{p|Giratina}}), any effort points acquired will be applied to its stats when the form is changed, allowing the player to boost their Pokémon's stats without having to level it up.

==Generation V==
In [[Generation V]], most of the EV system remains unchanged from Generation {{gen|III}} and {{gen|IV}}. EV-reducing berries no longer reduce Effort Points to 100 if the points were above 100; instead, only 10 EVs are deducted. Pokémon can now gain effort values from battling even at Level 100, and stats are recalculated at the end of every battle instead of only after leveling up, much like Deoxys in the Generation III games.

A new kind of item called [[Wing]]s are introduced which are similar to [[Vitamin]]s but only give 1 effort point when consumed. Unlike Vitamins however, Wings are not subject to the 100 EV limit and can be consumed until the maximum value of 255 for one stat (or a combined 510 for all stats) is reached. There are 7 types of Wings in total, but only 6 Wings contribute to a specific stat: the {{DL|Valuable item|Pretty Wing}} does nothing at all. Wings can be collected from the shadows at [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] or [[Marvelous Bridge]].

{{redirect|IV|the fourth generation of Pokémon games|Generation IV}}
'''Individual values''', '''IVs''' for short, sometimes also known as '''determinant values''', '''DVs''' for short, are the Pokémon equivalent of {{wp|genes}}. They are instrumental in determining the [[stats]] of a Pokémon, being responsible for the large variation in stats among untrained Pokémon of the same species.

==Overview==
Each of the six battle stats has an IV associated with it, with that IV coming into calculation alongside the Pokémon's [[base stats]] and {{EV}}s to determine the actual stat number. A Pokémon's IVs are determined when it is generated by the game; when it is obtained as an egg from the [[Pokémon Day Care]], encountered in the wild, or given to the player by an NPC.

===Generation I===
In Generation I, there were only four IVs stored for each individual Pokémon: Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special. Each of these covered the respective stat, with the HP IV determined from the IVs stored for the other four. IVs had a range from 0-15, in binary 0000-1111, with the HP IV taking the final binary digit of the Attack, Defense, Speed, and Special IVs and placing it, in that order, for its own IV. As such, a Pokémon with an odd-number Attack IV had 8 added to its HP IV, Defense had 4 added, Speed had 2 added, and Special had 1 added.

The IVs' determination of stats follow the below formulas:

|} 

===Generation II===
To maintain backwards compatibility with the Generation I games, IVs remained unchanged, though now the four stored IVs covered for six stats. Whereas the HP IV's matter of determination went unchanged from the original games, the Special IV now covered for both Special Attack and Special Defense, being used in the calculations for both of them.

Several things aside from stats came to be based on the randomly-generated IVs, however, in Generation II. While most of these would, in [[Generation III]] and later games, go on to be determined instead by the [[personality value]] of the Pokémon, the type and power of the move {{m|Hidden Power}} remains to the present based on a Pokémon's IV set.

====Gender====
A Pokémon's [[gender]] was determined based solely on its Attack IV when compared to a [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|specific value native to each Pokémon species]]. If the Attack IV was less than the gender code associated with the Pokémon's species, it would be female, whereas in all other instances, the Pokémon would be male. For species of only one gender, or those with no gender, the calculation based on the Attack IV is ignored.

Due to this calculation, it is impossible to obtain a female Pokémon with high Attack, unless the Pokémon is a member of an all-female species like {{p|Jynx}} or {{p|Chansey}}. Starter Pokémon and others with a gender ratio of seven males to one female suffer the most, with the maximum Attack IV for a female Pokémon of those species being 1.

|} 

====Shininess====
Whether or not a Pokémon is {{Shiny}} or not is also determined by IVs, though in a much more specific manner than its gender is. A Shiny Pokémon, in Generation II only, must have IVs of 10 in Defense, Speed, and Special, as well as an IV of 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, or 15 in Attack. Such a lineup only has a 1/8192 chance of occurring, the standard rarity of a Shiny Pokémon to this day.

Due to the lineup excluding Pokémon with a 0 or 1 IV, female Pokémon of species with a seven male to one female ratio can never be Shiny in Generation II.

====Hidden Power====
{{main|Hidden Power calculation}}
The calculated [[elemental type|type]] and [[power]] of the move {{m|Hidden Power}} is based on the IVs of the Pokémon. Hidden Power can be of any type aside from {{t|Normal}}, as well as have a power between 30 and 70.

====Unown's Letter====
{{p|Unown}}'s letter in Generation II is taken from the combination of the center two bits of the Attack, Defense, Speed and Special IV {{wp|nibble}}s. This combination is then divided by ten, and the result is [[wp:Floor_function|rounded down (''floor[]'')]] to only include the integer part of the number. This integer will range from 0-25, corresponding to a letter in the Latin alphabet, which will be the Unown's letter (where 0=A, 1=B, 2=C, ..., 23=X, 24=Y, 25=Z, and not including '!' or '?', which were introduced in Generation III).

In Generation II, due to this method of calculating Unown's letter and the way that {{Shiny}} Pokémon are determined, a Shiny Unown can only exist in the shape of the letter I or V.

From Generation III onwards, Unown's letter is determined by the Pokémon's [[personality value]].

===Generation III===
In Generation III, the IV system was completely overhauled. Now, rather than having a range of 0-15, IVs would have a range of 0-31, with HP and Special Defense getting their own individually-determined IVs. The formula for calculation of stats by IVs was also changed, as with the IV system the {{EV}} system was also modified, and [[Nature]]s, newly-introduced, now modified certain stats either by raising or lowering them by 10%. The [[personality value]] handles a Pokémon's [[gender]], {{Shiny|Shiny status}}, and several other aspects.

This new system is part of the reason why it is impossible to trade between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] games.

The Generation III-on determination of stats follows the following two formulas:

[[File:HPStatCalcGen34.png]]

[[File:OtherStatCalcGen34.png]]

The IVs are now all stored together as a single 32-bit integer, separate from the equally-large [[personality value]], which is used to determine other aspects of a Pokémon. This integer's highest bits, single numbers, determine which of two Abilities a Pokémon has (if it has potential to have more than one) and whether or not the Pokémon is an unhatched egg or not. The remaining 30 bits are the IVs, five bits apiece, in the order of Sp. Def, Sp. Atk, Speed, Defense, Attack, and HP.

If the Pokémon's species can have only one Ability in Generation III, the Ability bit is forced to 0 by the game, as being 1 in this instance would cause the Pokémon in question to have "No ability" listed as their ability. This number is rechecked against the [[personality value]] upon evolution in Generation IV, allowing for a {{p|Zigzagoon}} with {{a|Pickup}} to retain the Ability if it is sent through [[Pal Park]] regardless of its personality value, but changing its Ability to {{a|Gluttony}} upon evolution into {{p|Linoone}} if the personality value does not match what the Ability should be.

In {{game|Emerald}}, an [[Stats judge#In Generation III|elderly man]] in the house north of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] will inspect a Pokémon in the player's party and give information about its IVs, revealing which of them is the highest in a vague manner.

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, much like in Generation II, the IV system was, for the most part, retained from the previous incarnation. Slight alteration was made to the meaning of the highest bit, which now, rather than indicating the Ability of the Pokémon, indicated whether or not it was nicknamed, and thus, made certain that a Pokémon traded to a foreign game without this bit set would evolve and change its name to that language's species name. For example, a {{p|Caterpie}} caught in a Japanese game and named キャタピー, when traded to an English game and evolved into a {{p|Metapod}}, would be named METAPOD, rather than keeping the name キャタピー, as happens in [[Generation III]] games when trading between languages. This bit's restriction can be circumvented, however, if a Pokémon is nicknamed the species name of its evolved form.

Additionally, [[Characteristic|a small blurb]] was added to Pokémon status screens that indicates the highest IV in a roundabout way. Rather than explicitly stating it, one of 30 of these short sentences is chosen, depending on which of the six stats the highest IV is in and how much more than a multiple of five it is.

A man who will check a Pokémon's IVs again appears in the games, this time in the {{si|Battle Tower}} or {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}}. Much like his Generation III counterpart, he will state the Pokémon's IVs in only a roundabout way.

===Generation V===

In this generation, a man who checks the Pokémon's IVs appears in the [[Battle Subway]].

(The first statement)
If the IV total is between 0 and 90:
"This Pokémon's potential is decent all around."
If the IV total is between 91 and 120:
"This Pokémon's potential is above average overall."
If the IV total is between 121 and 150:
"This Pokémon has relatively superior potential overall."
If the IV total is between 151 and 186:
"This Pokémon has outstanding potential overall."

(The second statement)
If the highest IV is between 0 and 15: "It's rather decent in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 16 and 25: "It's very good in that regard."
If the highest IV is between 26 and 30:"It's fantastic in that regard."
If the highest IV is 31: "It can't be better in that regard."

== Submission ==

I see you've taken {{m|Submission}} out of [[Ash's Charizard]]'s move template, but I think you shouldn't have done that: I've seen the Japanese version, and the command for Submission (the actual move) is also in there. Besides, I think what Ash said was "aerial Submission", not "Aerial Submission." --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:07, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

:If I may butt in, I was thinking of raising the issue myself, having watched the episode today. Personally, I think that SnorlaxMonster has done the right thing, there is nothing to suggest that, like Counter attack/counterattack, Ash wasn't just telling Charizard to force a submission on Magmar. The producers wouldn't have '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 13:28, 2 July 2011 (UTC)

== Route 5 ==

I'm guessing you're the admin who closed the edit war over route 5, and it turned out in my favor, which isn't really my personal favor as much as it is common sense. The Liepards are never generated before the battle ensues, and any combination of Pokemon (species and gender) on that route can occur, so I have no clue why the person kept reverting it back to the "mated Liepards"

Long story short, thanks for ending the edit war.
(Is this even where I'm suppose to post this sort of thing?) {{unsigned|Johto-Master}}
:You are correct, it was me. I don't really understand why it would be that way either. Just note that in future, it is better to discuss the edit on the other user's talk page or the talk page of the article, or simply contact an admin to resolve the conflict. Edit warring like you did is not permitted, even with good intentions. To answer your final question, here is probably the best place to put that sort of thing. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
Al right, sorry. I use Bulbapedia a lot, but this was my first time I was compelled to edit anything, because it seemed insanely odd. This is also my first time dealing with the "User pages" and want to know how to customize a bar like the one on the right side of your profile that says you speak English and are an Atheist etc. Or is that for Admin's only?--[[User:Johto-Master|Johto-Master]] 13:01, 4 July 2011 (UTC)
::Nope, anybody can use it. You can't create a userpage until you are "autoconfirmed" though, which occurs after a secret number of edits and period of time. If you make a few more edits to Bulbapedia, you will be able to make one.

I'd add that the episode was [[Banned episodes#Banned episodes in other countries|skipped]] in [[wp:New Zealand|New Zealand]] for an unknown reason, but I can't, because the top says "Do not add any trivia" due to the high [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|BW]] server load.

[[Template talk:Dex#Japanese Dex entries, Red & Green entries, and Stadium entries (again)|I've left tons of posts on its talk page about this (as well as Red & Green and Japanese dex entries)]], but I've never had a reply. And the template is protected so only Admins can edit it. Apparently they were removed as the Dex entries were the same as the Game Boy ones, but that only applies to Pokemon Stadium 2.

== Moves ==

As i told Cold, Confusion doesn't have the same effect and PP as Psychic, but still is considered the weaker version of the move. The thing i see the most, that makes Hurricane and Gust look alike is because of the Moves's similarities of the use of wind, and their names ( Real-life Hurricanes actually being very strong Gusts) [[User:Pokeand|Pokeand]] 17:43, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

==Video Requests==

Hi, Snorlax. I'm sorry to bother you, but I noticed that you said it was technically advertising. See, the thing is, I discovered that glitch, and I felt like I didn't receive the credit. If you looked at Zowayixx's video, it said that I discovered it, yet that it seemed that Bulbapedia was giving him the credit for it. Is there any way that we could still use his video but give me credit for finding his glitch? Thank you for your time.[[User:Pupcakepup|Pupcakepup]] 15:47, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

:To change your signature, go to [[Special:Preferences]], and modify it in the box which is labelled "New Signature". To make it colorful, you need to add <code><nowiki>TEXT</nowiki></code>, with the text you want to make colorful in place of "TEXT", and either the hexadecimal value of the color where the word color is. You can get hexadecimal colors from color templates like {{template|Normal color}}, but you cannot put the template itself into your signature, as templates are not permitted in signatures.

::::Regarding that Abilities template, I would just paste the code from the old one, and change move terms to Ability terms. However, Abilities don't have types, so something would need to go in place of what is currently a TM. At best, I would suggest {{bag|Ability Urge}}, but there is probably a better option. I would rather not use an anime image, due to the sheer size.
::::Also, we could probably set both of these templates up to work with the manga too, just with a simple third parameter (so no "<name>=") which is either "anime" or the name of the manga, such as "Pokémon Adventures". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

== About splitting the Battle Frontier articles... ==

What??? Don't tell me that you'd prefer to have a bunch of stubs instead of two very organized, high quality articles. Besides, ''this was already discussed before'':
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Sinnoh#Seperate_articles]
[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Battle_Frontier_%28Generation_IV%29/Featured_article_candidate#Other_comments]
I believe that it's ridiculous to turn two ''featured articles'' into lists of links to short stubs about the facilities.--[[User:Tempest370|Tempest370]] 18:36, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
:Stubs? You must be joking. Those articles are huge. Each section is big enough for its own article. Plus, if we did, it would make it a lot easier to add the anime and manga sections to both the individual facilities and the overall frontier. It's consistent with what we usually do as well; for example: [[Department Store]]s, [[Game Corner]]s, [[Trainer House]], [[Passerby Analytics HQ]], [[Big Stadium and Small Court]], [[Battle Subway]]—all of which are articles about facilities (not necessarily battle facilities) in other locations which are too important to be a part of their location's article.
:If we were to split them, the Gen III Battle Frontier's Battle Tower would be merged with [[Battle Tower (Hoenn)]], and the Gen IV one with [[Battle Tower (Sinnoh)]] (not [[Battle Tower (Johto)]] though, because these are being done by Generation). The [[List of wild Pokémon in the Battle Pyramid]] would become part of the Battle Pyramid article. I agree that the Battle Palace has a very short section at the moment, and in its current state it would be a stub, but there is plenty of information that ''can'' be added to it.
:Also, there is plenty of non-facility content on the Frontier pages. If they can't hold up a featured article without the facilities crammed in there, then they shouldn't be featured anyway. They look like 5/7 articles forced onto one page.
:The fact is that the more pages which should be separate which you cram into one, the information is omitted due to the size of the page. They were "discussed" over two years ago—we are looking at more complete, information-packed pages than before. Also, I don't consider "Should we do this?" "Nah." to be a discussion. If it had really been discussed, those sections would actually have more than two comments. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:27, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I'm not really sure which way you are arguing, but I agree. Splitting them will open up the anime and manga sections, and make it clear that both information on the individual facilities and the frontier as a whole is required. When you have anime and manga subsections throughout an article, you can tell it is time to split. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:43, 2 August 2011 (UTC)

:It's one of only four Dragon-type pseudo-legendary Pokémon. It would be notable if they were all Dragon-type, but when two of them aren't, it isn't really notable.

== Questions about a Gen II Glitch ==

I found out about '''[http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm this] glitch''' which occurs in the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver, and I noticed that the 'Pedia doesn't have an article about it. I was going to write an article for it, but I got kinda confused about the whole thing; so I thought I would firstly ask to see if you or indeed anyone on the Project Glitchdex team know anything about this and might be able to offer some thoughts/advice on how to write an article on it.

Firstly, and very importantly: what would an article on this glitch be called? The link above refers to it as a 'Shiny Glitch'; however, it can occur without any [[Shiny Pokémon]] involved in it whatsoever ('creating' shiny Pokémon is just a popular use for the glitch). It wouldn't be a [[Pokémon cloning|'cloning glitch']], seeing as it doesn't create '''perfect copies''' of Pokémon data. I was thinking then of calling it a 'Bug Catching Contest glitch'; but I'm not sure if that seems right either?

Secondly, after performing the glitch I'm not sure of its **exact** effect. The Pokémon data created is of the same species as the Pokémon that was in second, but its name and stats are different to that Pokémon; and the new Pokémon data has the same moveset as the Pokémon that was in last position, and will be shiny if the Pokémon in last was shiny. Does that mean, then, that the new data inherits the [[individual values|IVs]] of the Pokémon that was last in the party?

Do you have knowledge of this glitch, and how an article on it might be written? (Or, if it is the case, if the article should '''not''' be written?) '''[[Special:Contributions/ShiningSteelix|***]][[User talk:ShiningSteelix|shiningSteelix***]]''' 19:03, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:Thanks for mentioning this. I think [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4D6wJGGqZA this video] is the same glitch (if it is not, then please let me know, but it is as far as I can tell). The user of that Youtube account, {{u|Chickasaurus}}, has videos on several glitches Bulbapedia does not yet document. I do intend to get around to writing them, but I tend to try to do too many things at once. Since this one was brought up though, I'll go write it now. Also, for simplicity's sake, I'm going to use Chickasaurus's name for it too. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:19, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi. This glitch seems to have been around since years ago, but with a slightly erroneous description. There seem to be two copies of the glitch on that site; this is the right one [http://www.glitcher.net/turn-any-pok%C3%A9mon-into-gold-and-duplicate-items-japanese-version-only-glitch95.htm], albeit [http://www.glitcher.net/shiny-pokemon-glitch1106.htm the other slightly erroneous description] mentioned seems to be more widespread. I've seen the latter on really early websites predating 'glitcher.net', and it seems like it's been spread without people really checking it.

To clarify, the glitch only works in Japanese {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} because you can't {{m|Fly}} away from the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in English versions, which is probably the cause for some of the confusion. Even though this is called a Shiny Pokémon glitch, what the glitch does is basically use a donor Pokémon (like the red Gyarados) and copies its properties to another Pokémon when you withdraw it at the Bug Catching Contest, meaning you could use it for anything really (e.g. to teach an [unstable] Pikachu Surf and Fly). Since you deposited your recipient Pokémon, this means you can also get your original back and keep the new hybrid Pokémon you receive. The glitch is an exploit of being able to escape the Bug-Catching Contest and tricking the game into thinking you're still in the contest, which is why if you walked back in after walking out, saying NO to come back in then Flying away the game would force you to walk down into the void when you walk back into the entrance as if you were trying to walk out from the north.

The trick is to deposit the donor last, perform the exploit, deposit a target Pokémon underneath it, save then return after a few minutes after the contest has finished. For some reason or another, the game lets you withdraw an unstable hybrid of the Pokémon above the Pokémon you last deposited. This glitch does not copy just DVs, but everything including the name, stats, moves, etc. It copies one byte of the species, but not the other so it's basically an unstable hybrid of the original Pokémon. If you deposit it into Day Care, it will revert back into the original Pokémon, so I believe the trick is to evolve it to stabilize the Pokémon (e.g. use a stone), however the glitch will work regardless of the Pokémon used provided that you're using the Japanese version. --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 12:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
: Thanks muchly for the clarifications on this glitch <=).
I went ahead and wrote the [[Bug-Catching Contest data copy glitch|article]] now, based on the discussion here and {{tt|my own knowledge of the glitch|I have translated copies of the Japanese versions of Gold and Silver myself}}; and I'm getting 'round to linking it to the other relevant glitch pages. But still, of course, feel to edit the article in any way needed; in particular, a possible explanation as to why the glitch occurs and maybe some images (if possible) may be helpful...

== Arbok ==

Good afternoon.

Is [[a:File:Pokémon_Adventures_Arbok_patterns.jpg|this file]] necessary? The four patterns shown were already uploaded to the Archives. I removed it from [[Form differences]]. It's OK if you put back, but please don't undo my edition, I also changed other stuff. '''|) u |( e''' 20:04, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:I thought of something, the image you uploaded would be even in larger size. Tell me if you like it:

[[File:Pokémon Adventures Arbok patterns.jpg|230px|thumb|right|Arbok's patterns as discribed in Pokémon Adventures]]
:* The [[Generation I]] [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of markings on its belly that differ between [[region]]s. The pattern has differed in sprites; however, this is dependent on the game the Pokémon is in, rather than the game in which it was caught. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Arbok's abilities vary depending on its pattern.

::I didn't upload that image. I'm a little confused, but here is my opinion on the matter. I would give Arbok a subsection under the "other Pokémon" section.

:::Okay, good idea. Arbok has even more differences, like 10 fangs and forked tongue with the first pattern and 4 fangs and pointed tongue with the other. It's enough for a subsection IMO. Thanks. [[User talk:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] 02:28, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

== Thyme ==

It's really a shame that he was deleted. We have much more minor characters covered in articles. And this one was pretty interesting. Also, what if he appears in the manga/anime? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 07:30, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
:If that happens, then he will get an article. Practically every named anime character has an article. And we really shouldn't have more minor game characters have articles. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:32, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
::Sorry to use your topic Maxim, but this is something I was also thinking of. SnorlaxMonster, if a character has an '''important''' role in a canon (such as Adventures) but doesn't appear in the games, neither was given a name, can an article be made for he/she? I think it would be accepted, based on these two: [[Trainer (EP248)]]; [[Arnold's mother]].

== Assist ==

Are you saying that Sneasel and Chimchar can only have Assist as an egg move in HGSS, and not DPPt? [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:24, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yes. Sneasal and Chimchar will not know Assist if the father does in DPPt, but will in HGSS. Also, we only include Pokémon that learn it via level up and can be a father, so Delcatty should not be listed since it does not learn it, only Skitty does. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:35, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::Fine, but the reason for the confusion was because of the fact that it was messed up in the first place. And I fixed it. Also, if we're only supposed to list Pokémon by level up, then why is it that on multiple Pokémon pages that I have looked at, under their specific breeding info, this isn't true? Example:Jolteon is listed under Sneasel's page as being able to pass on Bite. [[User:LimeGreenCharizard|LimeGreenCharizard]] 04:44, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's the way it is supposed to be, but unfortunately a lot of Pokémon pages use a different standard to the move pages. They should all use that standard, where only Pokémon that can father the Pokémon and learn it via level up should be listed. If it can only be passed on by chain breeding or Pokémon which learned it in a previous generation, they should be listed, and that fact should be noted. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:49, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

== Questions ==

Hi SnorlaxMonster!

I have a few questions. Remember when you replied to me on [[User talk:PsychicRider|PsychicRider's talk page]] about the template for the regions. I asked you if it was okay to move Orre, but I'm not sure if you saw it.

My next question is about the Pokémon released by date. I have created one for [[User:Han Ji-Wan/Pokémon by release date (Generation IV)|Generation IV]]. I just want to know if a Pokémon was revealed at a gaming conference (like Kecleon at the PokeFesta event), is that considered an official reveal or leaked? I have a few more questions about other Pokemon's reveal, but can't remember, so I will ask you again once I do.

Also, how do we get all 3 pages (3rd, 4th, and 5th generations) mainspaced? It would probably be better if we combined all three generations into one article, but I want to hear your input. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:16, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the delay in my reply; I saw it yesterday, then Bulbapedia was down (even checked with [http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ this]) when I tried to reply.
:Anyway, I think the Main/Side/Spin-off needs to happen. After that quote from Masuda, nobody disagreed, but nobody has actually bothered to do much about it. For it to actually happen, we need to work on getting [[version]] moved to [[main series]], and the creation of a separate [[side series]] page. Anyway, after I left that message on your talk page, psy talked to me about it, and his main problem was the format rather than the intent.
:For my Gen V one, I was pretty much going by what Bulbapedia/news did. I would say that if it revealed officially like Zoroark was, appears with a name and art (even in a leaked magazine scan), appears in the anime, or by the game they are in being released, with them available without glitches or cheating. I don't really know the circumstances of PokéFesta. Was it revealed by people playing a demo version, or was it announced there?
:I never really intended for the pages to be separate. Go ahead and add your data if you want, but keep them in separate sections. Also, I would prefer having links on the dates, even if it means linking to Serebii. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Gym guide

2011-09-01T00:02:27Z

Transfinite:

[[File:Caretaker.png|thumb|right|240px|[[Castelia Gym]]'s guide, as seen in {{2v2|Black|White}}]]
The '''Gym guide''' is a character in the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]]. The title actually belongs to at least five characters, each corresponding to a different [[region]]. In each case, the guide is usually found at the front of a Pokémon [[Gym]], ready to offer tactical advice to novice {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. He can occasionally be sarcastic in nature.

Some gyms are unique, in that their guide seems to roam outside its walls. The [[Celadon Gym]] guide is not seen in his Gym, and appears instead at the [[Rocket Game Corner]], where he plays the [[slot machine]]s. Similarly, the [[Cianwood Gym]] guide is found in the [[Cianwood City|city]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] instead of the Gym. The [[Petalburg Gym]] guide will vanish after the {{player}} has defeated [[Norman]], and, in [[Generation II]] only, the [[Cinnabar Gym]] guide will arrive after [[Blaine]] has been defeated.

No official name was released for the gym guide in the first four generations. This gave rise to the [[fanon]] name "Jim Gai"—a pun on "Gym guy".

In [[Generation V]], he is given the name '''Clyde''' (Japanese: '''ガイドー''' ''Gaido'') and if the player talks to him before their Gym battle, he will give a [[Fresh Water]]; at the [[Striaton Gym]] and [[Nacrene Gym]], he approaches the player and gives it, rather than requiring the player to approach him.

:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? The Gym Leader is a user of Fighting-type Pokémon. She'd be a terror against Normal-type Pokémon. But! And it's a big but! Just between you and me... Maylene, the Gym Leader, said Flying- and Psychic-type Pokémon could be real trouble for her! If you want to battle her, smack the punching bags along the rails. You have to hit those bags hard!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Of course, I thought you'd win."''

====[[Pastoria Gym]]====
:''"The Gym Leader Wake... Uh, I mean Crasher Wake, is a master of Water-type Pokémon. I'd say you've got guts if you try to face down Water types with Fire- or Ground-type Pokémon! But that part I'll leave up to you! Go and have some good battles!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! So, how was it? Did you enjoy your battle against Wake... I mean Crasher Wake? Sure, winning is important, but don't forget to have fun, too! I think Wake... I mean Crasher Wake, showed you what I mean by fun."''

====[[Canalave Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! Champ-to-be! The Gym Leader here uses Steel-type Pokémon. Steel-type Pokémon have high Defense, so you'd have to hit them hard!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Good going! That makes it six Gym Badges! I tell you what, you're really turning into one fine Trainer. If you were to say you're going to try to become the Pokémon Champ... No one'd laugh at you now! I'm in your corner, kiddo!"''

====[[Snowpoint Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Do you see the big snowballs placed here and there? You need to slide on the ice with enough momentum to crush them. The Gym Leader is a user of Ice-type Pokémon. Melt her defenses with scorching-hot Fire-type moves! It's all about focus with this Gym! Bear down and focus!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! You were more focused than her, and your Pokémon picked up on it!"''

====[[Sunyshore Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Let me check out your Trainer Case. Let's see how many Badges you have. One, two, three... Woah! Wow! You've already got seven! That means if you can beat this Gym Leader, you're on your way to the Pokémon League next. That also means this is the last time I get to give you advice. This is it, kiddo! Listen carefully... one last time! The Gym Leader here is a master of Electric-type Pokémon! That's all I have to say! The rest is up to you!"''

====[[Striaton Gym]]====
:''"Hello! I'm Clyde. I'm the guide for Trainers challenging a Pokémon Gym. We appreciate your challenging the Gym. Take this to commemorate the occasion. One basic element of Pokémon battles is the relationship between types. If you choose Pokémon with effective types and effective moves, victory is just a step away! In this Gym, you process by stepping on the switch with the type that is effective against the Pokémon type shown on the curtain."''
:''"I hope you'll always remember the incredible moment when you received this Gym Badge."''

====[[Nacrene Gym]]====
:''"A Pokémon Gym where a Leader waits for a challenger at the back of a museum... It has a great atmosphere, doesn't it? So... I will give this to you! All Trainers in this Gym use Normal-type Pokémon. This is just between you and me... Normal-type Pokémon are weak against Fighting-type Pokémon. Around here, Fighting-type Pokémon show up around Pinwheel Forest. Now, I will explain about the Gym itself! In this Pokémon Gym, if you answer questions hidden in books, you can move forward. For your information, the first book is "Nice to Meet You, Pokémon." If you don't know where the book is, please ask anyone!"'''
:''"Did you hear it? Strange people came charging through the museum... Oh! The Gym Badge!! Congratulations! So, the museum! Oh, no. What shall we do?!"''

:''"What do you think of Castelia City? I bet, with all of the bustling people, you started feeling worn down on your way to the Gym! Never mind! This will help. Take it! The theme of this Gym is walking through walls. At first glance, these funny honey walls may look impassible or even impossible. If you try hard, it'll work out. So I say. But...if it doesn't, here's a sweet tip: step on the switches on the floor!"''
:''"Wow! That's amazing. You swatted aside our Gym Leader Burgh's tricky attacks... I can barely imagine how much stronger you're going to get!"''

====[[Nimbasa Gym]]====

:''"How about it? I can see you're surprised! Would you ever have guessed that this Gym is a roller coaster? OK, let me fill you in... And take this, too! In this roller coaster Gym, the first step is to get in the car. Next comes the platform! There, you can change where the coaster is going! Sometimes you continue by riding the cars of opponents you defeat. That's how you aim for the Gym Leader! By the way, Electric-type Pokémon don't do well against Ground-type moves..."''
:''"Elesa uses sparkling bright Electric-type attacks! But the combination of you and your Pokémon was even more impressive! It was... It was... an emotional roller coaster."''

====[[Driftveil Gym]]====
:''"I'm sure it was tough dealing with all that right after you arrived here. For now, I'll just give you this! The Gym Leader Clay uses Ground-type Pokémon! Well, just between you and me, Ground-type Pokémon aren't good against Water-type attacks. Kinda makes me wonder why Clay is living next to water."''
:''"Every now and again, I hope you look at the Gym Badge you won here and remember the battle!"''

====[[Mistralton Gym]]====
:''"Please take this Fresh Water! Just between you and me... Rock, Electric, Ice... Flying types have more weaknesses than people know about. If you use Pokémon and moves of those types, victory is practically yours! By the way, to proceed in this Gym, you climb in the cannons to move forward. The cannons go up, down, left, and right. You can get in them from anywhere!"''
:''"Woo! Not many people look that good being shot out of a cannon... You make it look easy! And congratulations on your victory against the Gym Leader."''

====[[Icirrus Gym]]====
:''"Please take this Fresh Water! Ice can be melted with Fire or shattered with Fighting. Or you might want to smash it into dust with Rock or Steel."''
:''"From Brycen, I've learned how to say more with fewer words."''

====[[Opelucid Gym]]====
:''"Welcome to the Opelucid Gym, the Unova region's strongest and biggest trial! First off, please take this Fresh Water. It'll help you in the challenge ahead. Let me give you a brief explanation of the trick to the Opelucid Gym! The path around this Gym is shaped like two dragons. This path changes when you step on the switches on the dragons' arms. Pay attention to how the dragons' necks move!"''
:''"You beat the Gym Leader? Wow, that's amazing! Oh, by the way, since I gave you all that Fresh Water... Don't you owe me some of your winnings? ...I'm kidding! It's just a joke! No, seriously, congratulations!"''

Transfinite: Fixing some information, removing stub notice (it's a short article but there's nothing else to add, so it's hardly incomplete)

'''Teala''' (Japanese: '''アオナ''' ''Aona'') is an [[non-player character|NPC]] character in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen,|s}} {{v2|Emerald}}, {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond, Pearl,|s}} {{v2|Platinum}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}}. She is the attendant on the second floor of [[Pokémon Center]]s, and she manages items that players receive via the [[Mystery Gift]] function in [[Generation III]].

The first time that a {{player}} goes to the second floor of a Pokémon Center, she will explain the Wireless Communication in the Generation III games (excluding {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}). In Generation IV, she is located in the Pokémon Center basement and gives the player a [[Pal Pad]] the first time they go down there. Teala will also appear to give the player a standard introduction and another [[Pal Pad]] if encountered through [[tweaking]].

Talk:Gym guide

Transfinite: moved Talk:Caretaker to Talk:Gym guide: Talk page seems to have reached consensus and this hasn't been touched for months.

==List of hints==
Do you guys think that there should be a list of the hints for each gym? - ''unsigned comment from {{u|09MurphyM}} ([[User talk:09MurphyM|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/09MurphyM|contribs]]) ''
:<s>I don't think so. That sounds like something that would be in an appendix. We're not game guides.</s> [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 15:10, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
::I'm not sure now... it sounds ok... I guess? I need confirmation... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 03:04, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

== "Guide" ==

Wasn't the Gym Guy referred to as "Guide" in BW? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 16:14, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yes, but as these games are set in a different place, I don't know if it's the same character. The nurses are different, aren't they? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 04:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
::Yes, They are. But we have them all in one article. I think it would be pointless to split the article into "Kanto/Johto caretaker", "Hoenn caretaker" etc. And "Guide" is the only official name we have for this guy. I think it wouldn't be incorrect to refer to ALL "caretakers" by this name. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 10:14, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Still, shouldn't we wait until the games come out in the U.S. before we move this? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:47, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
::::I see no reason why they'd change that. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:49, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::But they could change it, like they did with {{m|Scissor Cross}} and {{a|Hard Rock}}, which both had Engl(r)ish names in Japanese.--[[User:Dennou Zenshi|でんのう]] ☢ [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|'''Z'''えんし]] 11:56, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::Still, I don't understand that "No one cares about Japanese names, wait for the English version" trend. We haven't been that lazy and stupid before. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:00, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::I don't think Gaido is notable enough for his own article, and I don't think that this article should be moved to "Gaido," but I do think something about Gaido and the fact that he has a name should be added to the article, and perhaps a redirect created. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 08:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::"Gaido"? Come on. It's not a personal name. It's GUIDE. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:04, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::...No, you'd be wrong there. It's his name. When he [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3330177/gaido.png introduces himself] he gives his name as ガイドー. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 08:07, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::Oh, thanks for the screen (and an edit conflict). So, yes, he's got a name. But look, he also introduces himself as the "guide" - he says "I'm the Trainer Guide Gaidoo" or something along these lines. So, we've got both - his name (Gaido) and his title (Guide). And I think that calling him the "Gym Guide" is a much better choice than "Caretaker". Really, why caretaker? His role is giving the player hints on beating the Gym Leader, no one said that he takes care of the Gym (and I doubt he does). "Caretaker" is a big misnomer. Also, with the Isshu caretaker's name being revealed as "Gaido", the statement that "No official name has been released for the gym caretaker" is no longer true. Move or not, the article needs updating. Also, I'm not sure if that "Jim Gui" thing is worth mentioning (it's from Pokemon-X sprite comic). Most people call him simply the "Gym guy". --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:16, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::A closer translation would be "My name is Gaido, who guides Trainers," so it's not expressly stated as his title, but I'll give you that probably is his title.
:::::::::::Likely this article hasn't been updated simply because there are more important things that need to be worked on. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 08:19, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::Right. It's always me who cares about such trivial matters and whines about every single error. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:21, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Hey, don't go putting words in my mouth. But anyway, you could make the appropriate edits to this page yourself if you wanted, as I don't believe it's protected. [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 08:25, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
::::::::::::::I only called him "Caretaker" because that was the name given to him in the Fame Checker section of Giovanni's article. Feel free to call him whatever you like, as long as you remember to change the references in the other articles. [[User:Glitchipedia|This message brought to you by Glitchipedia, the falsified encyclopedia]] 21:38, 14 December 2010 (UTC)
== Updating the page ==
Hi. I just wanted to say that I was the one that updated the page. Gaido should be kept under the caretaker label. It is doubtful that the name sticks for '''ALL''' of the caretakers, but his name is secured for Black and White. Black and White have no impact on the other regions, and neither should its caretaker, Gaido. I vote no on giving him his own page.--[[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 04:23, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== Manga ==
Has he appeared in any manga? Because this article makes it sound like he has only not appeared in Pokespe. [[User:Dia Sprite|Dia Sprite]] 11:56, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

== Against the move ==

There is no evidence the caretaker's name was "Clyde" in the first four generations. Only the guy from Unova is Clyde. It isn't safe to assume that they are all the same person. It should stay as "Caretaker". --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:56, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
:But there is also no evidence that his name is "Caretaker". It's not even implied that he takes care of the Gym, he merely gives advice. In BW he says something like "I'm Clyde, your guide". So, maybe "Gym guide" would be a better name for him? But yeah, I also oppose the move to "Clyde". It'd be like moving [[Pokémon Center Nurse]] to "Casey". --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 08:41, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
::"Caretaker" came from the Fame Checker section of Giovanni's page, where it said the Fame Checker called him 'Caretaker'. I just checked this in my game myself, and it simply says 'Man'. I have corrected the error on [[Giovanni]], and I agree that "Gym guide" would be a much better, less assuming name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:12, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

{{move|Clyde}}
[[File:Caretaker.png|thumb|right|240px|[[Castelia Gym]]'s caretaker, as seen in {{2v2|Black|White}}]]
The '''Gym caretaker''' is a character in the [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]]. The title actually belongs to at least five characters, each corresponding to a different [[region]]. In each case, the caretaker is usually found at the front of a Pokémon [[Gym]], ready to offer tactical advice to novice {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. He can often be sarcastic in nature.

Some gyms are unique, in that their caretaker seemingly roams outside its walls. The [[Celadon Gym]] caretaker is not seen in his Gym, and appears instead at the [[Rocket Game Corner]], where he plays the [[slot machine]]s. Similarly, the [[Cianwood Gym]] caretaker is found in the [[Cianwood City|city]]'s [[Pokémon Center]] instead of the Gym. The [[Petalburg Gym]] caretaker will vanish after the {{player}} has defeated [[Norman]], and, in [[Generation II]] only, the [[Cinnabar Gym]] caretaker will arrive after [[Blaine]] has been defeated.

No official name was released for the gym caretaker in the first four generations. This gave rise to the fan-designated name "Jim Gai"—a pun on "Gym guy".

In [[Generation V]], he is given the name '''Clyde''' (Japanese: '''ガイドー''' ''Gaido'') and if the player talks to him before their Gym battle, he will give a [[Fresh Water]]; at the [[Striaton Gym]] and [[Nacrene Gym]], he approaches the player and gives it, rather than requiring the player to approach him.

The doors in this room are already open, so don't attack me! The TRAINERS of PETALBURG GYM use all kinds of items. The door at the left leads to the SPEED ROOM. The door at the right leads to the ACCURACY ROOM. The room's name will be on the door, so choose carefully. Once you've chosen the door... Well, hey, go for it!"''

====[[Mossdeep Gym]]====
:''"Yo, how's it going, CHAMPION-bound <player>? The GYM LEADERS here use PSYCHIC-type POKéMON. If you go up against them with FIGHTING-type or POISON-type POKéMON, they'll inflict horrible damage!

Rock-type Pokémon really hate water, all right? They're also weak to Grass-type moves. Gee, they sure have weaknesses! But don't think it will be easy. You don't get to be a Gym Leader without covering for weaknesses. Going after a Rock-type Pokémon with a Fire-type Pokémon won't be easy, either. That's all the advice I can give. Thanks for listening!"''

====[[Eterna Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Actually, that's what I said to some boy who zipped in here earlier, too! The Gym Leader, Gardenia, is a user of Grass-type Pokémon. It should be obvious, but Grass-type Pokémon really hate fire. They're also at a huge disadvantage against the Flying type, too. Oh, wait a second. I should tell you about the Gym itself first. You can't challenge the Gym Leader until you beat all the Gym's Trainers. It's a bit challenging, but just think of it as good training and go for it!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Your Pokémon look much tougher than when they went in, too! At least that's how I see it!"''

====[[Hearthome Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? This Gym is some kind of wicked! What's wicked about it? I'll tell you! First, it's pitch-black! Oh, no worries, though! I have a flashlight right for you. Also, there are the usual Gym Trainers. They have flashlights, too. If you cast a light on one, or they catch you in the light, the battle's on! OK, now this is really important! It's about the tiles on the floor. First, find the one blue tile in the room, and memorize the mark on it. Next, head for the red door with the same mark on it. Advance through the correct red doors to reach the Gym Leader. If you choose a wrong red door, you get sent back here, though. That's how this place is. Go get 'em, Champ-to-be!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! There seems to be no end to how tough you are getting! At least that's how I see it! ...You do realize I say that to everyone, right?"''

====[[Veilstone Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? The Gym Leader is a user of Fighting-type Pokémon. She'd be a terror against Normal-type Pokémon. But! And it's a big but! Just between you and me...

====[[Canalave Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! Champ-to-be! The Gym Leader here uses Steel-type Pokémon. Steel-type Pokémon have high Defense, so you'd have to hit them hard!"''
:''"Oh! <Player>! You've beaten the Gym Leader! Good going! That makes it six Gym Badges! I tell you what, you're really turning into one fine Trainer. If you were to say you're going to try to become the Pokémon Champ... No one'd laugh at you now! I'm in your corner, kiddo!"''

====[[Snowpoint Gym]]====
:''"Hey, there! How's it going, Champ-to-be? Do you see the big snowballs placed here and there? You need to slide on the ice with enough momentum to crush them.

In this Gym, you process by stepping on the switch with the type that is effective against the Pokémon type shown on the curtain."''

:''"A Pokémon Gym where a Leader waits for a challenger at the back of a museum... It has a great atmosphere, doesn't it? So... I will give this to you! All Trainers in this Gym use Normal-type Pokémon. This is just between you and me... Normal-type Pokémon are weak against Fighting-type Pokémon. Around here, Fighting-type Pokémon show up around Pinwheel Forest. Now, I will explain about the Gym itself! In this Pokémon Gym, if you answer questions hidden in books, you can move forward. For your information, the first book is "Nice to Meet You, Pokémon." If you don't know where the book is, please ask anyone!"'''

:''"What do you think of Castelia City? I bet, with all of the bustling people, you started feeling worn down on your way to the Gym! Never mind! This will help. Take it! The theme of this Gym is walking through walls. At first glance, these funny honey walls may look impassible or even impossible. If you try hard, it'll work out. So I say. But...if it doesn't, here's a sweet tip: step on the switches on the floor!"''
:''"Wow! That's amazing. You swatted aside our Gym Leader Burgh's tricky attacks... I can barely imagine how much stronger you're going to get!"''

====[[Nimbasa Gym]]====

:''"How about it? I can see you're surprised! Would you ever have guessed that this Gym is a roller coaster? OK, let me fill you in... And take this, too! In this roller coaster Gym, the first step is to get in the car. Next comes the platform! There, you can change where the coaster is going! Sometimes you continue by riding the cars of opponents you defeat. That's how you aim for the Gym Leader! By the way, Electric-type Pokémon don't do well against Ground-type moves..."''
:''"Elesa uses sparkling bright Electric-type attacks! But the combination of you and your Pokémon was even more impressive! It was... It was... an emotional roller coaster."''

====[[Driftveil Gym]]====
:''"I'm sure it was tough dealing with all that right after you arrived here. For now, I'll just give you this! The Gym Leader Clay uses Ground-type Pokémon! Well, just between you and me, Ground-type Pokémon aren't good against Water-type attacks. Kinda makes me wonder why Clay is living next to water."''
:''"Every now and again, I hope you look at the Gym Badge you won here and remember the battle!"''

====[[Mistralton Gym]]====
:''"Please take this Fresh Water! Just between you and me... Rock, Electric, Ice... Flying types have more weaknesses than people know about. If you use Pokémon and moves of those types, victory is practically yours! By the way, to proceed in this Gym, you climb in the cannons to move forward. The cannons go up, down, left, and right.

Let me give you a brief explanation of the trick to the Opelucid Gym! The path around this Gym is shaped like two dragons. This path changes when you step on the switches on the dragons' arms. Pay attention to how the dragons' necks move!"''

'''Peeko''' (Japanese: '''ピーコちゃん''' ''Peeko-chan'') is a {{p|Wingull}} owned by [[Mr. Briney]]. She appears in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]] versions as well as in [[Pokémon Adventures]] and in the {{pkmn|anime}} episodes [[AG018|''On a Wingull and a Prayer!'']] and ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''.

==In the games==
Peeko is kidnapped by a [[Team Magma]] grunt in Pokémon Ruby, or a [[Team Aqua]] grunt in Pokémon Sapphire and Emerald. In either case, the player must go to [[Rusturf Tunnel]] and defeat the grunt to rescue her. After she is rescued and returned to Mr. Briney, he will return to his cottage and later offer to sail the player to [[Dewford Town]] and [[Slateport City]].

She is referred to by Mr. Briney as "darling", journeying the sea alongside him.

==In the anime==
In the anime, like in the games, Peeko was kidnapped by a [[Team Aqua]] grunt to persuade Mr. Briney to give him a boat to meet his partners. {{Ash}} and Co. tried to stop him and rescue Peeko. The grunt finally escaped but Peeko and Mr. Briney were reunited.

==In the manga==
[[File:Peeko Pelipper Adventures.png|left|thumb|159px|Peeko in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen|fifth chapter}}]]
Like in other game-based adaptations, Peeko appears as a dainty Wingull that belongs to the old fisherman Briney. She found {{Adv|Ruby}} caught in the old man's fish nets, and Briney endears her greatly, calling her "Peeko-poo." However, an unfortunate fate would befall little Peeko when a wild {{p|Crawdaunt}} attacked their ship, and it ended up with a broken beak after charging straight into its armored exoskeleton. Ruby was able to heal this wound (and adorn it with his "brand" of fashionable make-up), though.

By the time of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, she makes her debut as an evolved Pokémon for the first time as a {{p|Pelipper}}. She is still shown hovering around her owner by the time of the [[Emerald chapter (Adventures)|next chapter]].

'''Calista''' (Japanese: '''クルヨ''' ''Kuruyo'') is a [[character of the day|one-time character]] in the Pokémon anime who appeared in the episode ''[[AG076|Me, Myself and Time]]''.

Calista appeared to be very enthusiastic about archeology and Pokémon. However, her parents refused to support her decision to pursue this career. One day, she received a phone call telling her to go and locate a tree hole in a forest with her {{p|Baltoy}}. With {{Ash}}'s help, they located a mysterious woman in the tree hole, but she disappeared soon after.

Following her into the hole, they found a large number of boulders, which Baltoy moved aside. Underneath, they found a badly injured Baltoy. Suddenly, the mysterious woman appeared and informed the kids that she was Calista's future self. She put her Baltoy on an altar when it fell, trapping it under the boulder. She called Calista in the past, hoping she'd help save Baltoy. After saving it, future Calista reminded present Calista not to give up on her hobbies.

The '''Café Cabin''' (Japanese: '''やまごや''' ''Mountain Hut'') is located on {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, north of [[Solaceon Town]] in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. It sells {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} for {{PDollar}}500 per bottle. The Café Cabin is the only place in Sinnoh where players may purchase MooMoo Milk.

According to the cashier, they prefer to sell only MooMoo Milk over any other drink.

==In the games==
The Café Cabin contains only the cashier and a few people sitting at tables, drinking MooMoo Milk. They will challenge the player when interacted with. In Diamond and Pearl, the player must purchase bottles one at a time for {{PDollar}}500 each. This was adjusted in Platinum, where players could by twelve bottles at a time for {{PDollar}}6000.

'''Barlow''' (Japanese: '''バロウ''' ''Barrow'') is the muscle-bound leader of the [[Vientown]] ranger base and a graduate of the [[Ranger School]]. His partner is a {{p|Makuhita}}.

Although he looks tough, he'd prefer [[Big Bertha]] to carry most heavy objects. He also might be afraid of water, as he prefers not to go with the main character on the [[Puel Sea]] mission. He is unique among Rangers with the fact he will do a Target Clear without a Pokémon, but rather use brute force while yelling "TARGET CLEAR!," even calling it his trademark Field Move in Operation Brighton. This is first seen after the {{player}} rescues him on [[Team Dim Sun]]'s [[Cargo Ship]], where he crashes through locked doors.

Barlow helps the player when confronted by [[Team Dim Sun]] Grunts on the Cargo Ship, though later confronts [[Kincaid]], going up against his {{p|Drapion}}, as the player deals with still more Grunts. He is defeated by Drapion, at which point the player takes over for him and captures Drapion. While, like the other Area Rangers, he is very important in the beginning of the story, when the player advances to the [[Ranger Union]], he is seen less in the game. However, he helps the player several times in Operation Brighton, and rescues [[Isaac (Ranger)|Isaac]] from the trap that [[Ice]] of the [[Sinis Trio]] set up for him. After the main story line has been completed, Barlow can be found at the ranger base in [[Vientown]].

He is also seen in several [[Ranger Quest]]s.

Amp Plains tribes

2011-08-31T23:30:23Z

Transfinite:

The '''Amp Plains tribes''' are two tribes of Pokémon which reside atop [[Amp Plains]]. The Luxio tribe (also known as the Luxio clan, Luxray's tribe, or Luxray's clan) is a group of eight {{p|Luxio}} led by a {{p|Luxray}} that appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]. The Electrike tribe (also known as the Electrike clan, Manectric's tribe, or Manectric's clan) is a group of eight {{p|Electrike}} led by a {{p|Manectric}} that appears in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. They are very territorial, and follow a "strike first, ask later" strategy.

==History and in-game role==
{{Spoiler}}
According to {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, Luxray's clan, or in Explorers of Sky Manectric's clan, was once a peaceful tribe, roaming around in search of a place for temporary rest. However, once they were attacked by a fearsome foe, and ever since they always "strike first for fear of being stricken". They reside in [[Amp Plains]] often, for it is cloaked by thunderstorms during parts of the year. During the time in which the {{player}} adventures, [[Team Skull]] takes {{p|Azurill}}'s Water Float and places it in Amp Plains, within Luxray or Manectric's habitat. The player and partner go to regain it. The player tries to hide from the clan, to find it useless; Luxray claims to see any that hide while Manectric would prefer that they hide so he could sneak up quietly from behind. Realizing that hiding is useless, they stand up to the challenge, but find themselves surrounded.

After the fight, as Luxray or Manectric uses a last-ditch attack that resembles {{m|Shock Wave}}, Dusknoir blocks it, saving the player and partner. The clan then leaves, never seen again.

==Trivia==
* The Luxray and the Luxio tribe may have been replaced by the Manectric and Electrike tribe in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] because one of the starter and partner choices in the game is {{p|Shinx}}.
* Though Luxray appears to use an {{type2|Electric}} move similar to {{m|Shock Wave}} after the battle, it doesn't know any damaging moves of this type.
** Manectric uses the same move in Explorers of Sky as Luxray in Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness, but the only damaging Electric-type move Manectric knows is {{m|Spark}}. Spark is not a move that can be used to attack from a distance like the move used at the end of the battle was able to do.

'''Accumula Town''' (Japanese: '''カラクサタウン''' ''Karakusa Town'') is situated in the southeastern part of the [[Unova]] [[region]]. It is the first place where the {{player}} meets [[Ghetsis]], [[Team Plasma]], and [[N]].

==Places of interest==
===Town square===
In the center of the town is an open, park-like area. It is here that [[Team Plasma]] make their first speech, and [[Ghetsis]] encourages the citizens of Accumula to release their Pokémon. After Ghetsis leaves, [[N]] appears out of the crowd and tries to listen and talk to the player's Pokémon. It is later revealed that the Pokémon told N that it was happy to be with the {{player}}. After he communicates with the player's Pokémon, he challenges the player to a battle.

===Pokémon rock-paper-scissors===
In a house in the north-west of town, there is a little girl who will challlenge the player to a game of Pokémon rock-paper-scissors. Instead of using rock, paper, and scissors, this game uses {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Grass}}, and {{t|Water}}.

==Demographics==
Accumula Town has a total population of 30.

==Variable scoring==
Piano and percussion tracks can be added to Accumula Town's background theme by speaking to a pianist and drummer residing in a house in the northeast section of town.

Accumula Town appeared in ''[[BW004|The Battle Club and Tepig's Choice!]]''. It is quite a large town and a [[Battle Club]] is located there. This is where {{Ash}} caught his {{AP|Tepig}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} camp out in Accumula Town when they are attacked by a wild {{p|Timburr}} that was revealed to be helping [[Team Plasma]] build a stand. The stand was used by [[Ghetsis]] who gave a speech trying to convince people to release their Pokémon so that they can be free.

When Black attempted to stop them from making anymore speeches, he was attacked by [[N]] and was forced into battling him.

==Trivia==
* Accumula's Japanese motto is {{tt|生い茂るツルは繁栄の証|Thick ivy is proof of prosperity}}.

Unable even to keep my promises
You grow further away
Into the darkness that hides you
I can't end it yet
Not like this

And I walked with you
We moved forward without a care
When my confusion cleared a little
I cried a little
You reached out and took me in your arms

Day by day it grew, my heart
I want to get it back
I still love you,
I need you love again
The words I want to tell you
The next morning, and the night
I'll live to protect you

And I always got through my worries
Cleared another wall

"Don’t be taken in
Just by what you see"
I heard someone's voice

Forgive me, I always think of you
My voice becomes tearful
I still love you,
I need you love again
The words I want to tell you
I’ll never forget
All the dreams we shared
Everything

Day by day it grew, my heart
I want to get it back
I still love you,
I need you love again
The words I want to tell you
The next morning, and the night
I'll live to protect you

I'll never forget
All the dreams we shared
Everything

:'''''Arti Cuno''' redirects here. If you were looking for the Pokémon, see {{p|Articuno}}.''

'''Articuno Island''', or the '''Prussian Town Pokémon Network''' is a former hostee of [[Bulbagarden]]. The site was owned and operated by [[Arti Cuno]], who is now known as Faeore Lacua of [http://www.icephoenix.com Ice Phoenix.com]. She started the site in 1998 as the '''Prussian Town Pokémon Network''', named after a town in Arti's fanfics.

The site became a hostee of BMG when [[Anenga (person)|Bulba]] offered Arti the spot. Articuno Island thrived and was an affiliate of the main site for many years until BMG fell the first time and Arti had found a domain to use. A network of sites was created, starting with AI, many of which still exist today. Among them are Caterpie Forest and [[Serebii.net|SPP]].

As a stand alone site, PPN changed its name to Articuno Island, another place in Arti's fanfic universe. The website was still affiliated with BMG and began to host sites and report on various Pokémon news until 2002 when Arti lost interest in Pokémon and time to update and the site became an archive for her fanfics.

==Notable staff members==
* Arti Cuno - webmistress/artist/fanfic writer
* Cferra/Ledian_X
* Dragonice
* Sinko
* Meowthy
* Freakachu- co webmistress
* Tonberry7

==Notable Network members==
At its peak, Articuno Island had 63 network members and six hostees.

* [[Bulbagarden]]
* [[Serebii.net]]
* [[Caterpie Forest]]
* [[Frost Cave]]
* [[Loose Change]]
