'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''.

==Personality and training==

Paul's only concern in his [[Pokémon]] is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|captured|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He also has a habit of scolding his Pokemon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, and this was a recurring trait when he owned {{AP|Chimchar}}. He also scolded his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} when it lost to Ash's newly evolved {{AP|Staraptor}} in [[DP118]]. As a person, he is very callous and even at times brutal, especially in {{pkmn|battle}}; and as a result, he has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile.

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

At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven false in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League}}s before returning to [[Sinnoh]].

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards [[Happiness|being friends]] with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him.

Although Paul finds most of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by how Ash contradicts himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then he uses similar methods, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being different than Paul's.

Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know her name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect as well as distaste towards [[Brock]], probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:
===On hand===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=500px cellspacing="0"

| align=center | [[Image:472.png]] {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}
| align=center | [[Image:126.png]] {{p|Magmar}}

|}

As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen. 

===Released===

| align=center | [[Image:234.png]] {{p|Stantler}}
| align=center | [[Image:390.png]] {{AP|Chimchar}}
|}
It is implied that Paul has caught and released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly|Staraptor}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle.

Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.

===Given away===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=100px cellspacing="0"
|-
| align=center | [[Image:184.png]] {{p|Azumarill}}
|}
Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the [[Damage modification|type advantage]] over the {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.

===Status unknown===
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=200px cellspacing="0"
| align=center | [[Image:291.png]] {{p|Ninjask}}
| align=center | [[Image:075.png]] {{p|Graveler}}
|}

Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''.

In one of Chimchar's flashbacks in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears]]'' of its training with Paul, a {{p|Graveler}} was seen using {{m|Rock Throw}} on {{AP|Chimchar}} while Paul was telling it to use its [[ability]], {{a|Blaze}}.

In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too". Whether it includes Ninjask or possibly Graveler is also unknown.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"
| align=center colspan=2 | [[Image:239.png]] → [[Image:125.png]] [[Paul's Electabuzz|Elekid → Electabuzz]]
| align=center | [[Image:217.png]] {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}
| align=center | [[Image:297.png]] {{p|Hariyama}}
|}

As of ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', Paul was shown to have Torterra, Weavile, Gliscor, Honchkrow, and Magmar on his team, while Ursaring and Electabuzz were unseen. It is unknown which of the two Paul has on hand, if he even does have either one of them at all.

Hariyama was revealed in a preview in the episode [[DP120]].

==Known badges obtained==
====Sinnoh League====
* {{badge|Coal}} (''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come!]]'')
* {{badge|Cobble}} (prior to ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'')
* {{badge|Relic}} (prior to ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'')

It can be assumed, if not confirmed, that Paul also has complete sets of badges from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Hoenn]], as he has entered all three of their [[league conference]]s.

==Pokémon League==
Paul has competed (off-screen) in the following Pokémon League competitions:
* [[Ever Grande Conference]]
* [[Indigo League Conference]]
* [[Silver Conference]]

==Pokémon competitions==
* [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] (Champion - with {{Ash}}) (''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'')
* [[PokéRinger]] (Runner-up) ([[DP118]])

==Trivia==
* Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week. The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.
* His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Pearl|s}}, in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}}. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
* [[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.
* [[Ash]] has battled Paul five times. The first one happened in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', which resulted in a draw. [[DP006|Three episodes later]], they had another duel, which Ash lost. After seventy-five more episodes, they have a rematch in [[DP081|''Chim - Charred!'']], which resulted in a tie. They have another battle in [[DP100|''Aiding the Enemy'']], which Ash lost. They compete against each other in a [[Pokéringer]] competition in [[DP118]], where Ash claimed his first victory. Altogether, Paul has beaten Ash twice, lost once, and ended in two draws.
* It is unknown if Paul has ever met [[Jimmy]], or [[Marina]]. However, seeing as all three of them competed in the [[Johto League]] before [[Ash]] and [[Vincent]] did, this could be the case.
* All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]].
** {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.
** {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).
** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and Magmar were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).
* Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with Ash's main rival, {{Gary}}:
** [[Paul's Torterra]] is similar to [[Gary's Blastoise]], as in that they are turtle-based [[starter Pokémon]].
** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]], as Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.
** Both Paul and Gary have a {{p|Magmar}}.
** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like {{Gary}} did until the end of the Johto saga.

Tylerkarnes: /* him and ash */ new section

This page belongs in the anime section of the game character. We have it for almost all the other game characters that appear in the anime so why should this be any different. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:00, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:Because he's different. He's a [[Cross-canon counterparts|Cross-canon counterpart]]. It would be just like having Ash as a subsection of {{ga|Red}}'s article. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::No he isn't. Jun is basically the same character. Unlike Ash and Red who have some differences. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:08, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::Shut up, he is! He's a [[Cross-canon counterparts|Cross-canon counterpart]]. We have articles on all Cross-canon counterparts: {{Ash}}, {{Gary}}, {{jo|Jimmy}}, {{jo|Marina}}, [[Vincent]] {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, we also have articles on ALL manga counterparts, then why not on Jun, too? He's got a FULL appearance, unlike {{ga|Silver}}, [[Brendan]] and [[Lucas]], so he fully deserves a specific article. He is also a MAIN game rival (unlike [[Wally]], who didn't appear in anime, but if he did, he would deserve nothing more than an anime subsection in the game article). Remember for your life - Cross-canon counterpart = Different Character! --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:04, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::They can only be cross-canon counterparts if one of the characters are based off on the other. But Jun is exactly the same as his game character. Personality, Pokémon, everything. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::No, that's not true. Any MAIN character counterpart is considered different (except the mentioned three, whose appearances weren't long enough) and please, don't say anything about his personality. That's what we call gun-jumping. We don't even really know what Pokémon will he posess. Rival counterpart = Different character. It's a thing you just have to remember. Don't act like you know more than me about Pokémon. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:17, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::We don't even know if Jun will be appearing again. And even if Jun is different so should the countless number of game characters that appeared in the show. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::{{jo|Jimmy}} also appeared for only one episode (though I agree that he SHOULD NOT be put to the template). So, your logic fails. He's an Inter-Media Counterpart not matter if you like it or not. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:22, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I was not talking about Jimmy. I'm talking about all the gym leaders, game villains, Elite 4, heck even [[Cheryl]] and [[Mira]]. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:24, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::Then why does {{jo|Jimmy}} have an article about him in your opinion? He's just an one-time character, so shouldn't he be just a subsection of {{ga|Gold}} according to your logic? The Gym Leaders, Villains, Elite 4 and Other Characters you mentioned are actually the same characters in all canons they appear. It's generally accepted that only counterparts of MAIN game characters count as separate characters. Main characters = Game protagonists, Rivals (the characters you can name, in general). It's a generally-accepted standard and Jun meets it. So, don't argue. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::: Jmath does have a point, Dawn's mother doesn't have an article, and she's pretty important, I would even say more important than Jun, because Johanna has a relation to Dawn. I don't see why Jun would deserve his own article. When Johanna even doesn't. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::FAIL. Johanna is not a MAIN game characters, not a rival or protagonist, she is just a mother. She may be important in the anime, in the games she's not. So, her anime incarnation DOES NOT deserve an article. Your argument failed like a bomb in ocean. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::::::Jimmy isn't exactly same as Gold. They're still different just as Ash and Red are different. And by your logic, May and Dawn should go also be in the games page. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 14:37, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::::::::No, they shouldn't. Because they are protagonists/rivals. My main criteria is not the importance of the character in the other canon, name difference or design differences but rather his ROLE IN THE GAME. This is a criteria everyone here agrees with. You're arguing with me for no reason. And you keep losing. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:40, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
: Professor Oak, Professor Birch, Professor Elm, Professor Rowan also don't have their own articles (And argue all you want but Professor OAK IS IMPORTANT IN THE GAMES). And plus what you said makes no sense, how is a parent/relative less important than a game rival? Add to the fact we have articles of COTD's and still other characters don't have their own articles. SO YOUR LOGIC FAILS. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::No, it does not fail. The Professors are important, but they're not MAIN characters. And saying that protagonist's parent who just sits in house and sometimes enter Contests is more important that the game rival is just RIDICULOUS. Please, don't insist that you know anything about the things you have no idea about. It's what I hate the most in people like you. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:48, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::: Then why the hell do we have articles of people who only showed up once in the anime when these characters I mentioned showed up more than once. See that doesn't make sense. Sure argue I don't know what the hell I'm talking about but you don't either. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 14:50, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::Please, leave COTDs away. They are completely unrelated here. They are completely unrelated to the game characters we are currently talking about. If they appeared in the game, they would have one articles on all their incarnations, but they NEVER appear in the games, so they have only one article - about their one and only incarnation - the anime one. So sorry, you fail again. Your reasons are one of the most stupid ones I've heard in awhile. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:54, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
::::IT MAKES NO SENSE. Why is Jun so important, just because he's a damn rival protaginist? If Jun appears only once he's just akin to a COTD. So he get's his own article (just like COTD's). Again it makes no sense. Jun could not important at all, his anime team mirrors his team in the games, which I can't say the same about Professor Oak, Johanna, Professor Elm, and blah blah blah, because they have differences between the two. Professor Oak never had Dragonite in the games, and Johanna never had a Glameow in the games (she only had a Kangaskhan).You know I can understand that it would make some articles with little information(a paragraph at the most). But remember COTD's information really small (just pointing to the connection not importance). And besides if Johanna's game information was so damn important, it would show up on this page http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Mom. And when I pointed to the COTDs, you totally missed the point. See your arguement is if they didn't have a important role in the games they don't deserve their own article. Okay I get it but why is it when they aren't important to the anime they deserve their own article. Isn't that a double standard? --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:14, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::He may be a COTD in the anime but in the game he's a MAIN character and all his Cross-canon incarnations count as separate characters. It's you who started mixing random characters to this. They have no bearing here. They're a separate issue. And the fact that they possess different Pokémon than in the games doesn't reflect anything. It's about the characters, not their Pokémon. Please leave non-protagonist characters alone, they're a separate issue. And do you realise that the thing about COTDs you mentioned are actually an argument IN FAVOUR of having an article on Jun. You're contradicting yourself. I could use your arguements against you if I wanted it, but I don't feel like doing it. You have weak and newbish reasons. I'm sick of debating with people like you. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::: Like me? Damn if you are so sure you know anything about me, write my biography. And no I wasn't contradicting myself I was making a connection. It's only a contradiction when I'm adamant about Jun not having an article. In fact I have no problem with it, the problem I do have is that while Jun has it's own articles, certain characters don't. And hell if COTD was any indication of anything, it would mean we would have articles about Johanna, Professor Oak because hell they showed up in the anime, don't they deserve their own anime articles. Who cares that they have game information? And again it's all double standards. Oh but I suppose YOU don't have a problem with it.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::: I forgot, when I said Jun could be like COTD, I meant that it "should" be on his game page, just like Professor Oak, and Johanna. But again double standards.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 15:36, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Adding to the fire, but, seriously, the answer to the problem is in his name. If his game article is going to be called "Pearl (game)", then "Jun (anime)" should deserve his own page, BECAUSE he's not called Pearl. GLs, the five partners, all direct game references with no name changes don't deserve their own separate page.

HOWEVER. Jun's game name defaults as Pearl. He is not Pearl. He is Jun (and hopefully, in the future, Barry). He should get his own paged based on the fact that he isn't called his default game name, just like Ash isn't called Red and Gary isn't called Green/Blue. Riley will still be Riley, Winona was still Winona. Pearl isn't Jun, and it isn't fair to designate him under Pearl simply because nothing changed about him personally. They'll act the same, but Gary acted the same way as his game C/P all through Kanto, and if this was then, Gary still would have gotten his own page. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 15:45, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
: I have no problem with Gary or Ash from the anime because it's obvious they are slightly different then their Game counterparts. When we have Jun who is exactly like his game counterpart only his name is different is the problem. Jun looks exactly like Pearl (game) and most likely has the same team (3 of his 6 are). Forget it....... I don't care anymore, have your weird Bulbapedia format, where a game rival is more important than a game/anime article character is related to an anime article character.--[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 16:01, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

== Okay, here's why he's not under Pearl's page. ==

Because '''''he's not Pearl any more than Gary Oak is Blue'''''. Remember, Gary was as much a jerk as Blue. They even both said "smell ya later" I believe. Gary's team may not be based on Blue's in any games, but so what? What's to say Jun's last three Pokémon aren't something completely random?

He has the same clothes. Great. He has the same team. Great. Gary has the same clothes as Blue in both RGBY and FRLG and he's got a separate article.

The title of the episode is ''Rival Trainer Jun Appears!'' not ''Rival Trainer Pearl Appears!''. His name is Jun. Not Pearl. Just like how {{tt|Kenta|Jimmy}}, not {{ga|Gold}}, and {{jo|Marina}}, not {{tt|Crys|Kris}}, appeared in the ''[[Legend of Thunder]]'' special. Brendan and Lucas weren't given separate names nor even much of an appearance, but Jun appears in an episode titled after and focusing on him. Jimmy and Marina do the same in LOT, though they didn't exactly name the thing.

Essentially, though, here's what it is: Game protagonists and rivals who appear in the anime get a separate page for their anime iteration if their role is large enough. {{ga|Silver}} appeared in the opening for LOT, and nothing else (plus {{an|Silver}} is that old guy who everyone <s>knows</s> thinks is [[Ash Ketchum|the idiot]]'s dad anyway). {{ga|Brendan}} was in the opening segment of three movies, but did little more than send out one Pokémon and order it to use a move. Whoo, give the man a page. No really. He's not notable enough in the anime for his own page. {{ga|Lucas}} does even less; he battled only ONCE in a movie opening.

Plus, well, with the exception of May and Dawn, all of the game protagonists and antagonists have different names from their anime counterparts. {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}}, not Red. {{tt|Shigeru|Gary}}, not {{tt|Green|Blue}}. {{tt|Kenta|Jimmy}}, not Gold. Marina, not {{tt|Crys|Kris}}. {{tt|Jun|And he's gonna be protected from moving to an English name until next year or longer!}}, not Pearl.

In closing.

:Thanks, TTE! Anyway, would you mind unblocking the page. There are things I would change. There is no proof that he's from Twinleaf. I would also delete the template. There is no proof that he'll be a recurring rival. I know the page was created pretty early but I'm a bit sick of the fact that Bulbapedia Admins block EVERYTHING lately. The blocked pages are usually the ones I want to edit. It sometimes feels that the admins simply want to use their powers. Please unblock the page, you won't regret it. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:17, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

[[Image:Battledimensionlogo.JPG|thumb|left|Battle Dimension logo.]]
'''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Battle Dimension''' is the eleventh season of the Pokémon anime, immediately following the conclusion of the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|tenth season]]. As such it is the second season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, following {{Ash}} as he continues gathering [[badge]]s in [[Sinnoh]] and {{an|Dawn}} as she continues gathering [[ribbon]]s.

It began on April 12, 2008 with the dub premiere ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears!]]'' and, if 52 episodes are ordered, will end with [[DP104]].

It is preceded by [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] and will likely be succeeded by a 12th season. It should be noted that the concept of seasons does not exist in Japan, where episodes of Pokémon air nearly every Thursday. An invention of the American broadcast industry, a season is typically aired new for nine months out of the year, with three months (usually during the summer) taken off to begin production for the next season, during which reruns air. In Japan, no differentiation is made between this and any other seasons in the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series.

It began airing on digital TV's {{wp|Jetix}} in the UK in late 2008. It began to air on UK {{wp|Freeview}} on January 5th 2009, simultaneously on {{wp|CITV}}/{{wp|ITV4}} on {{wp|Action Stations!}}. It will start to air on [[YTV]] in Canada on Monday, March 2, 2009.

It began airing on Jetix in Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark on February 14th, 2009.
It will start on Jetix in Italy on March 30th, 2009. In Germany, it started to air on February 18th, 2009 on RTLII.

Trio master

2009-02-15T03:20:29Z

Tylerkarnes:

A Pokémon that is a '''trio master''' is one who, in some way, oversees a [[legendary trio]] of Pokémon.

The trio master and the trio itself may relate in different ways. For example, {{p|Lugia}} is the trio master of the [[legendary birds]]; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when [[Lawrence III]] captures one of them in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

In the {{pkmn|games}}, the trio master sometimes will and sometimes will not require that the members of its legendary trio be captured beforehand. In {{g|Crystal}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} cannot be captured until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] have been, and in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, {{p|Regigigas}} will not awaken unless the {{player}} has the [[legendary golems]] in his or her party. {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Arceus}}, however, do not seem to have this requirement, nor does Ho-Oh in {{g|Gold and Silver}} and {{p|Rayquaza}} in the [[Generation III]] games. However, in {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, the [[legendary birds]] must all be befriended before the player can enter [[Silver Trench|Lugia's dungeon]], and before encountering Ho-oh, the three [[legendary beasts]] must contribute their power to create the [[Rainbow Wing]]. In {{g|Colosseum}} in order to get {{p|Ho-Oh}}, the player must first capture and purify all the Shadow Pokémon, which includes the legendary beasts, as one of the two requirements.

'''Meanvile...Vileplume!''' (Japanese: '''VSラフレシア''' ''VS. {{tt|Ruffresia|Vileplume}}'') is the tentieth round in the {{special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}} of the {{g|Special}} manga.

==Synopsis==
{{Special|Red}} bursts into the [[Celadon Gym|Gym]] with [[Bill]] on his heels. He shouts for [[Erika]] to come out but no one comes out. They try to heal {{p|Eevee}}. As Bill was looking around, he spots a book titled 'Eevee Reconstruction.' Red turns around and questions who are these people. Bill begins reading the book. He suddenly stopped reading, and Erika appears, continuing what Bill was reading. Erika congratulates Red on catching an Eevee, and acceptes his challenge. Red fumes and tells Erika that she had got Red to catch her reconstructed Eevee that escaped and says that he doesn't need Erika's [[Badge#Rainbow Badge|stinking badge]]. Erika ignores him and says that she is ready and sends out her three Pokémon: {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, and {{p|Vileplume}} while Red sends out {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Saur|Ivysaur]], and [[Pika|Pikachu]]. Erika sends Tangela and Red sends Ivysaur. He commands Ivysaur to use {{m|Vine Whip}} and reel the Tangela in. But Tangela throws Ivysaur away before Ivysaur could reel Tangela in. Red then sends Poliwrath while Erika sends Bellsprout. Red laughs saying that a little thing like Bellsprout couldn't handle Poliwrath. He commands Poliwrath to use {{m|DoubleSlap}} but Bellsprout uses {{m|Mimic}} and fights back. Red then sends Pikachu as Erika sends Vileplume. Pikachu dodges Vileplume's {{m|Petal Dance}} attack but Vileplume weakenes Pikachu with {{m|Swords Dance}}. Red looks at the [[Pokédex]] and realizes Pikachu's health is very low. Erika smiles and says that Red can challenge her and she won't give any conditions as he has already captured the Eevee. This reminds Red about the Pokémon and Erika says that Eevee is near it's end and the least thing she could do is put out it's misery. Red won't let her and says that if he lets her get away with it, she will do this to other Pokémon. Red quickly orders Pikachu to use {{m|Substitute}}. Vileplume defeats Pikachu's energy clone but Red grins and says while Erika and Vileplume were distracted, Pikachu had already got to the reconstruction device and they will never open the [[Poké Ball]]. Erika laughs softly and says that rather than fight, Pikachu used the last of its health to defend another Pokémon. Red and Bill gapes in surprise. Erika then uses [[Full Restore]] on Eevee and reveals that she has heard about Red from [[Brock]] and [[Misty]] and was only testing him. She also reveals that [[Team Rocket]] was the one behind the Eevee experiment. Red agrees to help Erika against Team Rocket and receives the Rainbow Badge. Erika lets Red take Eevee along with him and Red skips down the road for his next adventure. Little does he know he is being watched by a [[Sabrina|woman]] sitting on her {{p|Kadabra}}.....

== Error??? ==
In [[DP040]], Paul said that he caught Murkrow while he was traveling in Jhoto, Kanto, and Hoenn.

==Evolution==
It seems that Murkrow did evolve and that Paul has a Magmar.
:Couldn't we say that Murkrow evolved in [[DP065]]? In [[DP064]] it was still a Murkrow while in [[DP066]], it had already become a Honchkrow. So it's safe to assume it evolved at some time between the two episodes.

::But we never actually saw it evolve. It wasn't in DP065, and so we can't exactly say that it evolved in that episode. All we know is that it evolved sometime offscreen, between either DP064 and DP065, or between DP065 and DP066. Since we don't know the exact time that it evolved, it can't be included.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the first main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Special]]. His first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Poliwag}}, which [[evolve]]d into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning.

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of [[Generation I]]. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to [[battle]] a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{Special|Green}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB Saga.

Red's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon battling. He is called the "battler" (戦う者).

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the Pokédex holders, although second to [[Professor Oak]].

=={{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}}==
[[‎Image:Pokémon_Adventures_Red_3.40.PNG|left|thumb|Red in the first chapter]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist. His main rival is {{Special|Green}}. Red set off across [[Kanto]] to collect the [[Gym Badge]]s to enter the Pokémon League tournament. Along the way, he learns of [[Team Rocket]] by befriending the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Misty]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' and training with her in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''.

Later, Red has his Badges stolen by a mischievous trainer called {{Special|Blue}}. Eventually, Red, Green, and Blue team up to defeat Team Rocket's admins—[[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]], who were using the [[Legendary Birds]] to take over [[Saffron City]]. Red also meets [[Blaine]], and helps him capture the escaped experimental Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}, so that Blaine can cure them of the empathic connection they share.

Red later encounters {{Special|Yellow}} in [[Viridian Forest]] and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. Red meets [[Giovanni]] and defeats him in an intense battle.

With the badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League and emerge as a Champion of the 9th Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]].

=={{Special|Yellow chapter}}==
Red was challenged by the Elite Four, who wanted him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity. When he refused, [[Lorelei]] froze him in a block of ice. Only [[Pika]] escaped and made it to Yellow. Giovanni rescued him and he sought out his friends who are fighting the Elite Four.

=={{Special|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter}}==
Red is offered the newly open position of Viridian City Gym Leader, but has to turn it down due to injuries from being frozen. He leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]]. Later, he and the other main characters team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Mask of Ice]]. At the end of the story, {{Special|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

=={{Special|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter}}==
Red, Green, and Blue return to visit Professor Oak, who was kidnapped to make [[Pokédex]]es for Team Rocket and taken to the [[Sevii Islands]]. There at the islands, Red, Blue, and Green fight the new Team Rocket Admins, the [[Beast Warrior Trio]], as well as {{p|Deoxys}}, who is under control of Giovanni. Red undergoes special training on the second Sevii Island where his {{p|Venusaur}} learns the legendary {{type2|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with.

Mewtwo shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys on the Team Rocket helicopter. However, one of the Beast Warrior Trio has placed his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordered them to use {{m|Explosion}}, and while Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]].

He later discovers that Deoxys absorbed Red's blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the saga, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by Sird's beam intended for Deoxys.
In the Emerald chapter, Red along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow are on the [[S.S. Tidal]] in boxes (still statues) for the wedding ceremony at the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} for their salvation.

=={{Special|Emerald chapter}}==
For most of this chapter, Red, along with five other Pokédex holders, remain frozen in stones. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{Spe|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}.

==Pokémon==
Red's Pokémon nicknames are taken from two syllables from their Japanese language-version names.

* {{p|Bulbasaur}} → {{p|Ivysaur}} → {{p|Venusaur}}♂ ([[Saur]]; フッシー ''Fusshii'')
Fusshii was the Pokémon Red received from [[Professor Oak]]. It is one of his most powerful team members and has defeated Green's Charizard in battle. Professor Oak gave it to him because Red figured out how to let it use its powerful {{M|SolarBeam}} attack to a {{p|Machoke}} they encountered in the [[Viridian City]] Gym. In the [[Sevii Islands]], Fushii learned {{M|Frenzy Plant}}, an extremely powerful attack only {{type2|Grass}} [[Starter Pokémon|starters]] can learn. Debuted and captured as Bulbasaur in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]''.
* {{p|Poliwag}} → {{p|Poliwhirl}} → {{p|Poliwrath}}♂ ([[Poli]]; ニョロ ''Nyoro'')
Nyoro is Red's first Pokémon, and has been with him since early childhood. Nyoro is very loyal and evolved to save Red from drowning twice. He excels at physical attacks, as well as {{m|Ice Beam}}. It debuted as Poliwhirl in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Captured as Poliwag before ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''.
* {{p|Pikachu}}♂ ([[Pika]]; ピカ ''Pika'')
Pika was once a mischievous Pokémon that terrorized [[Pewter City]] stealing food, causing trouble, and shocking people. Pika befriended Yellow, and mated with Yellow's Pikachu, Chuchu to produce Gold's Pichu. When Pika was accidentally traded to Green, it was taught a variety of different moves, such as Substitute and Toxic. Under Yellow's care, it later learned how to Surf. Debuted and captured in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''.
* {{p|Gyarados}}♂ (Gyara; ギャラ ''Gyara'')
Gyara once belonged to [[Misty]], but it was captured and experimented on by [[Team Rocket]] to make it more fierce. Red recaught it when it was out of control and gave it back to Misty. Later, when Red was unable to get the Surf HM, Misty traded Gyara for Red's Krabby so that Red could reach Cinnabar Island. Debuted in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''.
* {{p|Snorlax}}♂ (Lax; ゴン ''Gon'')
Red caught Gon because he was blocking the road during a bicycle race. Gon is very gluttonous and is driven into a frenzy by the smell of honey. Later, after extensive training, Gon becomes one of the most physically powerful members of Red's team.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}}♂ (Aero; プテ ''Pte'')
Red acquired Pte when [[Blaine]] resurrected him from a piece of Old Amber on Cinnabar Island to help Blaine fight off a Moltres that Team Rocket had captured. Red uses Pte whenever he needs to get somewhere by flying.

* '''Vui''' - A Pokémon experimented on by Team Rocket that Red captured under Erika's direction. It was genetically modified to have unstable DNA, allowing it to evolve and devolve from Eevee, to Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon when exposed to new stones. Later, Red was able to heal its emotional trauma and it permanently evolved into Espeon. Red adds Vui to his team whenever Pika is with Yellow or needs a rest. Captured in ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]''.
* '''Diglett''' - A minor Pokémon that Red caught after he and Green accidentally switched Pokémon. So far, he has only used it while battling Eevee. Captured in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''.
* '''Sandshrew''' - Red occasionally uses this Pokémon to fight Fire-types.
* '''Nidorino''' - Red caught this Pokémon to demonstrate his capture abilities in Pallet Town to some children, but never used it since then. Debuted and captured in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''.

===Status Unknown===
This is a listing of Pokémon, which Red caught but they were not listed in the all character Pokémon listings in the end of Volume 15. Since then, it's possible that Red released them.

* '''Fearow''' - Red caught this angry Pokémon to keep it from attacking Bill. Bill occasionally borrows it to fly around. Debuted and captured in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]''.
* Red caught all of the other Pokémon when he was lost in the Safari Zone one night and was almost killed by rampaging Victreebel. He has more than one of each (except Nidoqueen), but they have not been seen since.
* '''Butterfree''' was shown in the end of the first and second volumes' Pokédex. It is assumed that it came from a {{p|Caterpie}}.

*Red's Pokémon were not nicknamed in Viz's translations of [[Pokémon Special|Pokémon Adventures]] (except Pika).

Coincidentally, they are exactly the same as [[Serebii.net#Staff|Coronis]]'s nicknames coined long before Chuang Yi.
*Red is the only male protagonist of Pokémon Special to challenge [[Gyms]]. {{Special|Ruby}} challenges Contests while neither {{Special|Gold}} nor {{Special|Diamond}} does either Contests or Gyms.
*Red's birthday is August 8.

Tylerkarnes: /* Chingling and Bonsly */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

== No. ==

I don't know whether you're a n00b or just an extremely unfunny vandal. If it's the former, please take time to read the above welcome notice and {{bp|Manual of Style}} before making any more edits. If it's the latter, please stop or I'll give you a few days off. --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 18:06, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

I've given you a block from editing for three days. It's a lenient ban, considering that you have no constructive edits yet, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and hoping it's simply mistakes on your part. Take a read through the policies here, and listen a little closer to warnings next time (such as the one directly above this comment, which you ignored). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 22:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm warning you only once this time. Stop adding false information to articles, or you will be facing a very long block. I'm being serious. You've been told numerous times to stop, but you keep going. Enough is enough. Stop or there '''''will''''' be consequences. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 23:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

== Editing basics ==

Please, learn to use the Show Preview button more often (it's right next to the Save Page button); you can save both yourself and the other editors a lot of trouble if you check each edit before you save it, to make sure the result actually works. I can only assume you're trying to add useful information with most of your recent edits, but you're making so many edits to the same page, it's hard to tell what you're trying to do.

And please, sign your comments on talk pages by using four tildes, like this: <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> The four tildes will automatically post a signature, rather then you needing to type out - or attempt to type out - the coding for a signature yourself. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 07:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

== Preview ==

Please make use of the preview button. Making multiple edits puts stress on the server. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 16:33, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

== [[DP107]] ==

Sorry dude i guess my friend told me wrong.[[User:Tylerkarnes|Tylerkarnes]]

== Stop it ==

There is no page on Paul's Magmar. It just redirects back to his page. So stop adding it back. Paul's Magmar isn't notable enough for its own page. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

:And also, stop redoing the spacing on Paul's page. It's fine the way it is, and does not need to be changed. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 02:58, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mars&curid=13691&diff=613296&oldid=611790 This edit, for example] is speculation and is bad. Not to mention you used the wrong pronouns.

== Link Templates ==
Please use link templates when linking to stuff such as Pokémon names, attacks, and the like. For example, <nowiki>{{p|Heracross}}</nowiki> instead of just <nowiki>[[Heracross]]</nowiki>. This is so you don't unintentionally link to a disambiguation page.

== Chingling and Bonsly ==

Where did you get the information that Hareta has Bonsly and Chingling? Is the info true, or are you just randomly putting fake informations to articles? Seeing that you were doing that before, it's possibly. So, tell me NOW - does he REALLY have those Pokemon? Where did you get the information from? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 15:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)i read in the 3rd and fourth chapters and it told he had them

Hareta

2009-01-12T20:58:46Z

Tylerkarnes:

[[image:Hobby_img.jpg‎|200px|right|thumb|Hareta]]
'''Hareta''' (Japanese: '''ハレタ''') is the main character of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]] and the adopted grandson of [[Professor Rowan]]. He is loosely based on {{ga|Lucas}}, although his hairstyle is very different. Hareta is an energetic and athletic young boy who likes playing with [[wild Pokémon]]. He has the ability to easily communicate with Pokémon, so he lived in a forest with them for four years. Hareta is able to climb as high as an {{p|Aipom}}, eat bark like a {{p|Bidoof}} and swim as fast as a {{p|Magikarp}}. Rowan eventually contacted him again when he wanted Hareta's assistance in finding {{p|Dialga}}. He has a habit of trying to eat anything that is available, as seen in his [[Poké Ball]], [[badge]], and even his Pokémon, Piplup. Hareta believes Professor Rowan is his grandfather, but Rowan told [[Mitsumi]] that he is looking after him "for a good friend".

*'''Empoleon''' - Hareta chose Piplup as his partner to save [[Mitsumi]] from a rampaging Onix in the forest. It later evolved into Prinplup and then into Empoleon.
*'''Shinx''' - Caught to show Mitsumi and {{OBP|Jun|Ihara}} he could catch a Pokémon. Shinx evolved into Luxio while on [[Iron Island]] and later into Luxray in a battle against [[Kouya]].
*'''Misdreavus''' - Caught in [[Eterna Forest]]. Hareta has since used its {{m|Scary Face}} to scare Mitsumi and [[Gardenia]].
*'''Onix, Geodude, and Zubat''' - Caught on Iron Island.
*'''Riolu''' - Hareta was given the {{pkmn|egg}} containing Riolu by [[Riley]]. Riolu evolved into Lucario in the battle against [[Candice]].
*'''Regigigas''' - With the help of [[Candice]] and her three [[Regis]], he could enter the [[Snowpoint Temple]]. He caught it after they would stop [[Team Galactic]].

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Byron.png|thumb|left|245px|Byron in the anime]]
Byron made his debut appearance in [[DP107]] together with his son, [[Roark]]. It was revealed Byron had once been the gym leader of {{city|Oreburgh}} and had left his family to become the [[gym leader]] of {{city|Canalave}} as he was more interested in fossils, leaving his former position to Roark. He also battled him for a short while before the match got interrupted by [[Team Rocket]]. It was later revealed that Byron still cared for his son as he kept the fossil Roark had found as a child with him ever since.

In [[DP108]], {{Ash}} had his gym [[battle]] against Byron, defeating him and earning a {{badge|Mine}}.

Byron has a somewhat odd personality, and is obsessed with digging and fossils. When his fossils were stolen by Team Rocket in [[DP107]], Byron was too busy admiring the hole they dug into the building to notice.

Byron is voiced by ''Kazuki Yao'' in the original version.

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Mine Badge]], {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a [[Metal Coat]] and leave.

===Quotes===
Before battle 
''"Ah! That's Oreburgh Gym Badge! I see, I see! You've defeated my son. But that's no surprise. He still has much to learn. In place of my son Roark, I, Byron, will take your challenge!"''

After sending out last Pokémon 
''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

During battle 
''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

When defeated 
''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon, defeated!"''

After being defeated 
''"You were strong enough to take down my prized team of Pokémon. In recognition of that power, I give you this: the Mine Badge!"''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Byron made an appearance with his Shieldon. Roark met him at Eterna City when exploring the Underground, where they discussed something (not known yet). Roark said that his father was the unpredictable type.

Byron gave a Sheildon to [[Diamond]]

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance.

Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)

2009-01-03T22:28:51Z

Tylerkarnes: /* Notable breeders */

A '''Pokémon Breeder''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンブリーダー''' ''Pokémon Breeder'') is primarily a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who [[Pokémon training|raises]] and [[Pokémon breeding|mates]] carefully selected [[Pokémon]] to reproduce specific improvements in future generations of Pokémon, such as [[moves]], [[DVs]], or [[natures]].

==In the games==
Pokémon Breeders appeared as a [[List of trainer classes|Trainer class]] in [[Generation III]], and can often be found near [[Pokémon Daycare]]s. They raise a large number of varied Pokémon, generally maintaining a balanced team, although they are often weak compared to other trainers in the area they reside in.

In {{game|Emerald}}, there is also a [[Legendary Top Pokémon Breeder]] in the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}.

Also, a few people [[player|playing]] the games themselves consider themselves Pokémon Breeders, breeding certain Pokémon together to receive maximum opportunity for good [[Egg moves]], [[natures]] and [[IV]] spread.

|}

==In the anime==
Pokémon breeders typically concern themselves with raising Pokémon for health and [[happiness]], rather than for [[Pokémon battles]]. They also participate in beauty contests and related competitions - not to be confused with [[Pokémon Contests]], though it is common for them to take interest in these as well.

Aspects of Pokémon breeders in the {{pkmn|anime}} typically also handle or cover include:

* Making and hatching [[Pokémon egg]]s
* Pokémon grooming
* Pokémon nutrition

The first, however, is mostly based on assumption. Breeders in the anime have not been seen helping Pokémon breed.

===Notable breeders===
* [[Brock]]
* [[Suzy]]
* [[Reggie]]
* [[Zane]]

===Trivia===
*For [[DP007]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the Breeders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ポケモンに　つくしてそだてる　ブリーダー ''Pokémon ni tsukushite sodateru Burīdā'' "The breeder who raises and devotes himself to Pokémon."

==In the manga==
{{Special|Gold}}, although never officially called breeder, specializes in hatching Pokémon in [[Pokémon Special]] manga. Other characters who can be called "breeders" in this manga are [[Pokémon Daycare|Daycare]] couple.

==In the TCG==
In the [[TCG]], a {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} appears on a card in the {{TCG|Base Set}}. In the {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} expansion, Breeders are also featured in a card called {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Pokémon Breeder Fields|62}}.

==Trivia==
Interestingly, while [[Brock]] has mentioned his interest in being a Pokémon Breeder since he was introduced, the Trainer class did not appear until [[Generation III]]. Just the same, the only Pokémon Breeders found in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are female.

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') is the head of [[Team Rocket]], and formerly served as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]]. He handed out the {{badge|Earth}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him. As a Gym Leader, he specialized in {{type2|Ground}} [[Pokémon]], but his master plan includes collecting rare Pokémon of all [[elemental types|types]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Giovanni.JPG|left|thumb|200px|Giovanni]]
Very little is known about his past in any timeline; he is generally shrouded in mystery. However, certain things are known:

[[Madame Boss|His mother]] was the head of Team Rocket before him. However, this is presumed to be [[canon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} timeline only, as the {{pkmn|games}} have no precedent for this.

While Giovanni very rarely takes the role of antagonist, his agents often have him in mind during missions due to the chance of power, be it through promotion or other means. This gave him a unique series of appearances, mainly during the Hoenn saga, where Meowth often saw how the Pokémon in each episode could be used to help Giovanni and win the trio promotions. These [[Boss fantasy|boss fantasies]] never show his actual personality and occasionally even show Giovanni in [[wp:Super deformed|chibi]] form.
[[Image:Giovanni.jpeg|right|thumb|235px|Giovanni, [[Domino]] and the Rocket grunts]]
The only time Giovanni has been seen in battle was in ''[[EP063|The Battle for the Badge]]''. He used powerful Pokémon against Gary but later left the Gym to deal with an unexplained emergency, leaving Ash to battle Jessie. By the time Ash returned from Hoenn, [[Agatha]] was in charge of the Gym until a new leader could be found. Giovanni's reasons for leaving it have not been explained, though it is speculated to be linked with the events of the aforementioned episode.

Giovanni is one of the three most prominent figures speculated to be [[Ash Ketchum]]'s father, alongside [[Professor Oak]] and {{an|Silver}}. There is no evidence to support this, though [[DiamondShipping|Diamondshippers]] see Giovanni's avoidance of Ash mentioned above as suspicious. In [[Pokémon Live!]], it was claimed that Giovanni and Delia had shared a relationship as teenagers, though it is also stated that someone else is Ash's father in that particular [[canon]].

His Japanese voice actor was 鈴置洋孝 ''Hirotaka Suzuoki'' until his death, after which he is voiced by 三宅健太 ''[[Kenta Miyake]]''. In the English dub he is voiced by [[Ted Lewis]] in the {{4Kids}} dub and in the {{PUSA}} dub as of ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps On Thieving!]]''. In ''[[DP002|Two Degrees Of Separation!]]'' and ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', he was voiced by [[Craig Blair]].

==In the games==
[[Image:Sugimorigiovannioriginal.png|thumb|Art of Giovanni from Pokémon Red and Blue]]
Giovanni is the one Gym Leader without a title, and is not widely known, preferring to keep to the shadows.

Giovanni constantly has his thugs looking for strong Pokémon.

Giovanni had several hideouts, the most prominent ones underneath [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], and the Viridian Gym itself.

Giovanni apparently has a child who has red hair. Many people believe this refers to the red-haired rival from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions]] and [[Pokémon Crystal Version]], also known as {{ga|Silver}}, who values power and strength and despises weakness, including Pokémon and Team Rocket, who he considers weak.

In addition to the Earth Badge, Giovanni gives out {{TM|27|Fissure}}, in [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]], and {{v2|Yellow}} Versions. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, he gives out {{TM|26|Earthquake}}.

In the game timeline, after being defeated by the protagonist in the [[Generation I]] games, he mysteriously disappears, apparently seeking to train and start anew after being shown how his methods failed him against the player; Team Rocket has been waiting for his return ever since.

===Giovanni's kid?===
In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]], on the [[Chrono Island]] [[Rocket Warehouse]], a scientist named [[Gideon]] (Japanese: スミオ ''Sumio'') says:

| If you have nothing to do with us then leave me alone!
| style="white-space: nowrap;" | You don't have any reasons for bugging me. Leave me alone!
|}
A portion of this conversation is recorded in the Fame Checker under the entry for Giovanni. This text is notably gender-neutral, and is the same whether {{ga|Red}} or {{ga|Leaf}} is the player.

When this text was singled out and reported on [[Pokémon Forever]], it provoked significant speculation in the community on the identity of Giovanni's child.[http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/showthread.php?t=5619] {{ga|Silver}} was singled out as a strong candidate. {{special|Silver}} ''is'' Giovanni's son in [[Pokémon Special]], and Giovanni finding him after the [[Mask of Ice]] kidnapped him was his primary motivation in the FireRed and LeafGreen storyline.

There was some initial debate over the exact meaning of ''red hair'', as characters like [[Misty]] are known as redheads despite having more orange-colored hair, and characters like [[Lance]] are portrayed as having red hair as well.

===[[Fame Checker]]===
This is a list of the Fame Checker's information on Giovanni in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Giovanni.PNG|right|frame|Giovanni]]
In Pokémon Special, Giovanni serves much the same role as he does in the games, although he now has [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Koga]] as subordinates. However, Giovanni is much more ruthless, as in one chapter, he uses his {{p|Cloyster}} to break two {{p|Magmar}} in half.

He attempts to create a super-powerful Pokémon by combining {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Articuno}} into a [[Zapmolcuno|single Pokémon]]. This was thwarted by the efforts of {{Special|Red}}, {{Special|Green}}, and {{Special|Blue}}.

He later provides some minor assistance to the fight against the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. He helps Red escape from [[Lorelei|Lorelei's]] ice and provides him with some [[evolutionary stone]]s for his {{p|Eevee}}. Giovanni then informs Koga and the others (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) to lay low until a more suitable time comes to revive [[Team Rocket]].

Giovanni has recently resurfaced in the [[Sevii Islands]], apparently pursuing {{p|Deoxys}}. He even has a new set of henchmen, the [[The Three Beasts]]. {{Special|Silver}} is revealed to be Giovanni's son, but was kidnapped by the [[Mask of Ice]] at the age of two. Giovanni's master plan apparently includes {{Special|Silver}} taking over Team Rocket from him.

However, his plan is later revealed to just wanting to find and reunite with his son and see him grown up before Giovanni dies (He has some sort of illness, although it is never explained what it is). When Silver and Giovanni found themselves in the flames of a wreckage at one point, Giovanni used his own body to protect the unconscious boy from the fire. While Silver first denied that Giovanni could possibly be his father, and then would not accept him as a father, after seeing how Giovanni put his own life at sake to save Silver, Silver broke down in tears and accepted him as his father. From this point on, Giovanni is presumably not the leader of Team Rocket anymore, and is succeeded by the Three Beasts member Carr. His last known location is one of Silver's secret bases, where Silver sent him so he could recover from his injuries.

When he was still the Viridian Gym Leader, Giovanni had obtained the nickname "Giovanni Of The Land" because all his Pokémon were {{type2|Ground}}s, save his Cloyster and Beedrill. Beedrill's exception is clear, as it was caught at Giovanni's birthplace (in the Viridian Forest; so Giovanni prides it especially), but Cloyster's is hard to trace, as it does not appear to have any connection to Giovanni's past.

In battle, Giovanni kicks his [[Poké Ball]]s, much like {{Special|Crystal}}, in order to be able to react faster.

==Trivia==
*In the {{pkmn|games}}, Giovanni is the only Gym Leader to appear outside of his Gym in [[Generation I]], whereas in later generations, this is quite common.
*In ''[[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]'', a short manga by [[Kagemaru Himeno]], he and {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} were shown to have been together for a long time, as he rescued the cat when he was a child.
*In the English version of {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, his name is misspelled ''Giovani'' (with one n).
*According to the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, Giovanni's birthday is August 1st.
*In [[Pokémon Live!]] it is stated that he dated [[Delia Ketchum]], though this is probably not the case in the anime.
* Both Giovanni and [[Juan]] are the eighth Gym Leader in a region introduced in an odd-numbered generation. Both of their names are a foreign version of the name "John".
*The way that Giovanni takes care of his Persian could be a reference to the supervillain [[wp:Ernst Stavro Blofeld|Ernst Stavro Blofeld]] in the James Bond films.
*In the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, Giovanni is the first character to regain his original voice actor following the voice actor switch.

'''''Pikachu, I See You!''''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュー''' ''Pikachu''), was the very first chapter of the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. It is based on the anime episode ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

==Synopsis==
[[Ash Ketchum]] starts his [[Pokémon]] journey off to a rough start when he receives his first Pokémon, the reluctant [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]].

==Important characters==
* Ash Ketchum
* Pikachu
* [[Gary Oak]]
* [[May Oak]]
* [[Delia Ketchum]]
* [[Misty]]

==Important Pokémon==
* {{p|Pikachu}}
* {{p|Spearow}}
* {{p|Fearow}}

==Chapter guide==
The story begins in [[Pallet Town]]. As Ash relaxes, his mother notes that the power in their house has gone out. Ash hears some strange noises coming from inside the walls of the house.

Ash investigates and finds a Pikachu gnawing on the wiring inside of the Ketchum residence. Ash tries to remove the pest using a net, but Pikachu shocks him and starts running around the house. Ash's mother is afraid of the little mouse and screams as Ash and Pikachu chase each other around the house, Pikachu shocking Ash repeatedly.

Finally, Ash uses a pair of rubber gloves to restrain the {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]]. While an electrician arrives to fix the house, Ash escorts Pikachu back to the woods so that it won't get run over in town.

On the way, Gary shows up and boasts to Ash, showing off his new [[Pokédex]] and gloating that he got his [[Pokémon Trainer's License]].

Ash freaks, and Gary explains that he's leaving on a Pokémon journey the very next week. Ash doubts that Gary can make it as a professional trainer while Gary angrily insists that he can, and then he gloats that trainers on their quests are exempt from school.

Gary teases Ash and reminds him that at last year's [[Pokémon Super Ball Tournament]], Ash bragged about how he would become a [[Pokémon Master]].

Ash downplays this, saying that he just got carried away, but Gary chides Ash for not wanting to be like the other kids who get their licenses and start training Pokémon as soon as they can.

A furious Ash leaves Pikachu tied by a collar to his mailbox and runs into town to get his Pokémon License. He's stopped by Gary's sister, May.

May warns Ash that the live of a trainer is really hard and perilious, but a blushing Ash insists that it will be easy for him. Ash runs off to get his license as May giggles at his enthusiasm.

After taking a class and passing an exam, Ash gets his license. One week later, Ash is on his journey, leading Pikachu on a leash through the outdoors.

Ash sees a wild {{p|Pidgey}} and orders Pikachu to attack, only to find out that Pikachu has left. Ash gets blasted by a {{m|Sand-Attack}} while Pikachu scuttled into [[Viridian City]].

Ash tracks down his wayward Pokémon, but the little yellow mouse eludes Ash in front of a crowd of people and knocks him into the sewer.

Ash babbles that since he heard Pikachu are one of the hardest Pokémon to tame, he exclaims that he already has Gary beat.

Ash finally catches Pikachu by luring it closer with some food, only to get blasted by a {{m|ThunderShock}}.

Finally, two policewomen come to verify that Ash has a license, thinking that Ash was showing off his Pokémon. One of the policewomen notes that since Ash chose a Pikachu over the standard beginning Pokémon, {{p|Charmander}}, he must be some sort of prodigy.

Gary comes over and taunts Ash. He claims that Pikachu may be rare in Viridian, but they're all around Pallet Town and Ash just threw a rope over one and dragged it along with him.

Ash boasts that none of Gary's Pokémon could hold a candle to his Pikachu and Pikachu shocks Ash yet again.

Gary claims that Trainers are judged by the number of Pokémon they catch and taunts Ash again for still only having one while he has six. Gary then rides away on a hovering motorcycle while cackling.

Later that night, Ash tries to put Pikachu into a Poké Ball. His Pokédex informs in that several Pokémon types dislike Poké Balls, and Ash relents, but gets shocked again anyways.

A girl on a byke notices the light show and comes over to glomp the cute Pikachu. The girl is dissapointed that she couldn't have Pikachu for herself as her Water-type Pokémon wouldn't get along with it.

The girl introduces herself as Misty and Ash asks if she's a professional trainer. Misty giggles and says that every year, 1000 people attempt to become professional Pokémon Trainers, but only 20% pass the test to become professionals. And after that, only 5% stay active in the League for more than six years. Misty then says that Ash doesn't look like he'll be able to make it and leaves a snarling Ash - who notices that Pikachu has run away yet again.

Out in the grass, Pikachu is happily running along by itself with it gets startled by a Spearow and knocks it out. Pikachu is relieaved until a whole flock of Spearow errupt from the bushes and begin to pursue it.

Ash finds Pikachu and checks it's health with his Pokédex after chasing away the Spearow with a stick. Noting that Pikachu is in critical condition, he begins to rush it to a [[Pokémon Center]] Emergency room.

Just then, the looming shadow of a Fearow swoops down and tries to attack Ash. Ash flees until he notices Misty and her bike near a river. Ash hops on the bike and speeds away as rain begins to fall.

Fearow dives into a {{m|Drill Peck}} attack that only Pikachu notices. The little mouse leaps up behind Ash and attacks with a huge bolt of electricity, paralyizing it and frying the bike. A stunned Ash throws out a Poké Ball and makes his first capture. He is excited until he notices Pikachu has passed out.

At the Pokémon Center, a healthy Pikachu embraces Ash, and Ash removes the leash. He pets the happy Pikachu and notes that he needs to give it a name.

Just then, a furious Misty bursts in holding the charred remains of her bike. Ash and Pikachu happly scramble out of the Pokémon Center and away from the enraged girl.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Mars made her first appearance (in silhouette) at the [[Valley Windworks]]. She was attempting to steal the power with her {{p|Electivire}}, and succeeded.

Interestingly, in the magazine version of the manga she used a {{p|Luxray}}. It was changed into an Electivire in the book version for unknown reason. One possible reason is that a different [[wild]] {{p|Luxray}} is a recurring Pokémon that aids the Sinnoh trainers.

====Pokémon====
Mars has these Pokémon:

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Mars first appeared in this manga at the [[Valley Windworks]], attemping to steal the energy from the power plant. [[Hareta]] and [[Jun (Ihara)|Jun]] managed to defeat her.

|}

==In the TCG==
Mars appears on the {{TCG ID|Secret Wonders|Team Galactic's Mars|126}} card from the {{TCG|Secret Wonders}} expansion.

==Trivia==
*Mars's name was changed to Venus in Spanish-language versions of the game, likely due to the fact that Mars is the name of a male Roman god. This also happened to [[Jupiter]].
*Mars thinks {{ga|Lucas}} and {{ga|Dawn}} are a {{s|FortuneShipping|couple}}.
* Mars is the Commander the player will battle the most times in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. The player will battle [[Saturn]] twice in each game, Jupiter twice in Diamond and Pearl but three times in Platinum, while Mars is battled three times in Diamond and Pearl and four times in Platinum, although it should be noted one of Jupiter and Mars's battles are together in a double battle.

'''Platina''' (Japanese: '''プラチナ''' ''Platina''), usually referred to as '''Ojōsama''' (Japanese: '''お嬢様''') (a term used to refer to the daughter of someone of high class) is the female main character for the [[Diamond, Pearl & Platinum chapter (Special)|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl & Platinum]] story arc of {{g|Special}}. At first, she was only known by her family name, but her given name was recently revealed to match {{game|Platinum}}.

Platina is a member of the house of '''Berlitz''' (Japanese: '''ベルリッツ''' ''Berlitz''), a 200-year old family of wealthy scholars famous in [[Sinnoh]]. She wears diamond and pearl rings. She does not give her name to commoners.

The Berlitz family tradition is for members coming of age to travel to the peak of [[Mt. Coronet]] to obtain materials to make their personal family crest. At the suggestion of the Platina's butler, Sebastian, her father hired two bodyguards to protect her in her journey. [[Professor Rowan]] provided her with three [[Pokédex]]es, three [[Pokétch]]es, and the three Sinnoh [[starter Pokémon]] so that Platina would share them with her bodyguards to assist him in his research.

However, because {{Spe|Diamond}} and {{Spe|Pearl}} coincidentally match the bodyguards' description--one in a red scarf and the other in a green scarf--Platina presumes they are her bodyguards instead, and the duo think that this journey is a sort of [[wp:Reality television|reality TV show]]. Platina assumed that they were actually her bodyguards, chosen so the trio would not seem odd.

Platina is amazed by the closeness of Pearl and Diamond, as well as their various skills: Pearl's assortment of [[Battle|battling]] advice and Diamond's ability to cook [[Poffin]]s and instincts on Pokémon. She also is an audience for their various Manzai attempts and is amused by them at times. Platina often can be demanding of Pearl, annoying him. Platina is also unaware of a {{s|CommonerShipping|crush}} Diamond has on her.

Platina is very knowledgeable as a result of reading lots of books during her childhood. However, since beginning her journey she has decided that it is better to actually experience as much as possible. For this reason, Platina challenges the [[Gym]]s of Sinnoh and also takes on other challenges such as the [[Super Contest]]s of [[Hearthome City]]. She has shown a natural tendency to recognize patterns and has an almost encyclopedic knowledge of various areas of Sinnoh and Pokémon in general, although towards the beginning of her journey, she had difficulty dealing with wild Pokémon.

It seems, that after saving her from [[Team Galactic]], Platina gains respect for Diamond and Pearl, by calling them by their first names, but, she still refuses to give her name. The boys assume her name is "The Lady", hearing it from Pearl's {{p|Chatot}}, who repeated it from a conversation between Platina and her butler.

==Pokémon==

*'''Empoleon''': Easily Platina's strongest Pokémon. Used in practically everything Platina has thus far challenged.
*'''Rapidash''': Possibly Platina's first Pokémon. Mainly used for transportation. A fairly weak battler when used.
*'''Lopunny''':Platina captured this Pokemon on the way from Canalave City to Lake Acurity.

| align=center | [[Image:446.png]] {{p|Munchlax}} "Bē"♂
|}
* Platina has borrowed most of {{Spe|Diamond}} and {{Spe|Pearl}}'s Pokémon so far to battle various Gym Leaders: Monferno and Chatot for [[Maylene]], Torterra for [[Crasher Wake]] and Munchlax for [[Fantina]].

==Trivia==
*In the beginning of the Diamond & Pearl chapter of Pokémon Special, there were some moments where Platina's first name was actually said, but her first name was always covered by another's speech bubble (to show that it's drowned out by that person's speech). For example, when facing the gym leader [[Maylene]], she is announced as the challenger, but yells when her name is said, so that her first name is unheard. The writers were most likely waiting for the release of {{game|Platinum}} to name her for it.

User talk:Tylerkarnes

Tylerkarnes: /* Why...? */

==Welcome==
Welcome to [[Bulbapedia]], {{BASEPAGENAME}}!

As a new user, you may wish to learn a few things that will be useful in your editing:
*For a basic overview of wiki code, see [[Help:Editing|this page]].
*The {{bp|manual of style}} is very important. Make sure to read it. It outlines all official policies of Bulbapedia.
*Keep an eye on the {{bp|Messages from the Editor}} on the main page, to stay informed on current events on Bulbapedia.
*The word [[Pokémon]] is spelled with a capital '''P''' and an accented '''é'''. The P, of course, is accessed easily by holding Shift and pressing the P key, while the é can be accessed using Alt + 130 or Alt + 0233 on a Windows computer, and Option + e, then e again on a Mac. Otherwise, you can click it in the character palette below the editbox.
*The word [[Poké Ball]] is spelled as two words. The "Poké" part is identical to the four beginning letters in "Pokémon"; "Ball" is spelled with a captial '''B''' (which is, again, accessed by holding Shift and pressing the B key). The spelling "Pokéball" arises frequently, but is incorrect.
*The word "you" and all forms of it should not be used on encyclopedic pages unless it is a quote from Pokémon or other media. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, not a walkthrough.
*On {{bp|talk page}}s, please {{bp|Signature policy|sign your comments}} with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).
*The use of {{cat|link templates}} is official policy. For an explanation on their use, see the page on {{bp|shortlinks}}.
*If you happen to spot a vandal in the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] that has not been dealt with, please see {{bp|dealing with vandalism|this page}} for how to deal with it.
*A list of pages that are linked to, but have not been created, can be found at [[Special:Wantedpages|this page]]. A list of short articles that may require more information can be found {{cat|stubs|here}}, while a list of articles that need improvement can be found {{cat|articles needing improvement|here}}.
*For a future capture, release, trade, or evolution of a Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|anime}}, please do not create or move the page to reflect your suspicions, even if they are shared by many others. Policy here is to wait until the episode in which the event happens takes place is aired, unless there is substantial evidence for the suspicion (such as [[Brock's Happiny]] being held in his arms).
*Image uploading is done on [[Bulbagarden Archives]], a separate wiki accessible through the toolbox in the sidebar. You will have to register separately for it, as well. This is done so that both Bulbapedia and [[Bulbanews]] have access to the images uploaded.
*If you want to make a page about a character you made up, please create it at User:{{PAGENAME}}/(name), not merely (name). Bulbapedia's main namespace is reserved for ''actual, official Pokémon, items, characters, and locations''. Also, please try to make sure that subpages are not categorized by templates used within.
*Having said this, please make sure that you do contribute adequately to the main namespace. Bulbapedia is not MySpace or Facebook.
*A list of the admins that you can contact in case of a problem, can be found [[Special:Listusers/sysop|here]].

Thank you, and have a good time editing here! --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 12:09, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

I've given you a block from editing for three days. It's a lenient ban, considering that you have no constructive edits yet, but I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt and hoping it's simply mistakes on your part. Take a read through the policies here, and listen a little closer to warnings next time (such as the one directly above this comment, which you ignored). --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 22:59, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

== Stop ==

Stop making edits like Paul's Skorupi and on Paul. He doesn't have that Pokémon. Stop now.

== Last warning ==

I'm warning you only once this time. Stop adding false information to articles, or you will be facing a very long block. I'm being serious. You've been told numerous times to stop, but you keep going. Enough is enough. Stop or there '''''will''''' be consequences. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] [[User talk:PAK Man|Talk]] 23:54, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

== Editing basics ==

Please, learn to use the Show Preview button more often (it's right next to the Save Page button); you can save both yourself and the other editors a lot of trouble if you check each edit before you save it, to make sure the result actually works. I can only assume you're trying to add useful information with most of your recent edits, but you're making so many edits to the same page, it's hard to tell what you're trying to do.

And please, sign your comments on talk pages by using four tildes, like this: <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code> The four tildes will automatically post a signature, rather then you needing to type out - or attempt to type out - the coding for a signature yourself. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 07:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

== Preview ==

How do you know that Rampardos and Bastiodon belong to Roark and Byron respectively? Any sources? [[User:Ej92|Ej92]] 16:47, 16 November 2008 (UTC) Yes go to serebii.net for magazine scans of the episode [[User:Tylerkarnes|Tylerkarnes]]

:Um, hate to break it dude, but he didn't post scans for the episode on his website. Checked the forums as well. Nothing. [[User:Ej92|Ej92]] 18:19, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry dude i guess my friend told me wrong.[[User:Tylerkarnes|Tylerkarnes]]

There is no page on Paul's Magmar. It just redirects back to his page. So stop adding it back. Paul's Magmar isn't notable enough for its own page. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 01:43, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

'''Max''' (Japanese: '''マサト''' ''Masato'') is a young boy from the {{pkmn|anime}}, and one of the traveling companions of {{Ash}}. He is the only main character thus far who was not a [[Pokémon trainer]] and he did not own any [[Pokémon]] during the entire [[Advanced Generation series]]. He is the younger brother of {{an|May}}, and the son of [[Norman]], the [[Gym#Petalburg Gym|Petalburg]] [[Gym Leader]], and [[Caroline]]. His Japanese voice actor is 山田ふしぎ ''[[Fushigi Yamada]]'', his English voice actresses are [[Amy Birnbaum]] ({{4Kids}} dub) and [[Kayzie Rogers|Jamie Peacock]] ([[Pokémon USA]] dub). His Brazilian voice actor is ''[[Thiago Keplemaier]]'', and the Latin-American one is ''Diego Ángeles''.

Max is somewhat of a know-it-all, relying mostly on book smarts than actual experience. He seems to have come under [[Brock]]'s tutelage for real-world knowledge. A running gag in the series is that Max is often excited or happy to experience firsthand an attack or ability that a Pokémon is well known for, such as {{p|Sharpedo}}'s {{a|Rough Skin}}, or [[Jigglypuff (anime)|Jigglypuff's]] {{m|Sing}}. Max also took [[Misty]]'s bit for yanking Brock by the ear whenever Brock sees a pretty woman. Max also frequently shows tension between he and his older sister May, such as telling embarrassing stories about her to others or arguing with her about the way she does certain things. For example in the movie [[Jirachi: Wish Maker]] he asks Jirachi to "get rid of the problem", and Jirachi, supposedly reading Max's thoughts, teleported May to the top of the candy mountain upside down.

Max is unique of the main characters in that he actually knew of Ash before he met up with him. Max watched the [[Silver Conference]] live and then continually watched the videos he made of it. When he stopped to find out who was making noise in the gym, he was surprised to see one of the competitors standing in the Gym. However, the two did not get off to a good start as Max continued to put Ash down, assuming that he could have defeated [[Harrison (Johto League)|Harrison]]. After seeing Ash battle Norman, however, Max became impressed with Ash and soon decided to travel with him and May. Max's admiration of Ash has been seen on numerous occasions since then, though he admires his father even more.

[[Image:DoIHearaRalts.jpg|left|thumb|Max and [[Max's Ralts|Ralts]]]]The question of Max's starter Pokémon was raised a number of times while he was traveling in Hoenn. Between the Hoenn starters, it appears that he would have chosen {{p|Treecko}} as that is what he told May she should have chosen. However, in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'' he speculates that he could receive anything. Not knowing who it will be leads to some of the conflict and resolution with [[Max (Hoenn)|his doppelganger]] in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out]]''. At the end of that episode he stated that {{Ho|Max}} is lucky as he already knows who the Pokémon he will start his {{pkmn|training}} with will be. Max finally did meet his future partner in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' when he befriended a weakened {{p|Ralts}}. Wanting to show his responsibility he took care of it and brought it to a [[Pokémon Center]] with a little help from [[Ash's Glalie|Ash's Snorunt]]. When the two parted ways at the end of the episode, they promised to meet up again when Max was eligible to be a trainer.

However, while Max does not own any Pokémon he has befriended a variety of different species during his travels: {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, a {{p|Shuppet}} in the episode ''[[AG081|Take This House and Shuppet]]''. He simply played with the Shuppet, after fleeing from the team when he became angered with May. Max has also occasionally borrowed [[May's Munchlax]], such as in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path!]]'' when he needed a Pokémon to take part in an [[Pokémon Orienteering|Orienteering contest]].

[[Image:AG015.jpg|left|thumb|Max is an Avid Reader.]]Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s. In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s Trainers School where he battled with a {{p|Poliwag}} against a {{p|Magby}}. He used strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}} but this backfired when Magby managed to get enough hits in during this time to knock Poliwag out. In the episode ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] for a battle against [[Winstrate Family|Vivi Winstrate]].

Max is similar to [[Ritchie]] in his lack of popularity in the fandom. This has been stated on many occasions to be due to his lack of Pokémon, giving him little purpose compared to other main characters. However, certain episodes such as ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' and ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]'' have redeemed him in some fans' eyes.

At the end of Advanced Generation, May announced that she wished to travel to Johto alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a trainer. He is currently staying at home in Petalburg City where he is taking lessons from his father and is helping to look after the Gym Pokémon. Max has received just two cameos since his departure, triggered by May's brief return for the [[Wallace Cup]] arc.

{{-}}
__NOTOC__
==Pokémon==
Due to not being a trainer, he is unable to train his own Pokémon. However, this hasn't stopped him from befriending or borrowing Pokémon, either wild or belonging to someone else. However, whenever he has taken control of a Pokémon he tends to rely on defensive techniques such as {{m|Protect}}.

==Achievements==
*[[Pokémon Orienteering]] - Runner-up (Participated with [[May's Munchlax]])

==Trivia==
[[Image:RSE SchoolkidM.png|thumb|right|A Ruby and Sapphire School Kid.]]
*His appearance is based upon the [[School Kid]] trainer class.
*Although that Max took [[Misty]]'s role of pinching [[Brock]]'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he doesn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi!]]''.
*His Japanese name, ''Masato'' can be taken to be 正人, which literally means ''correct/elegant man'', possibly referring to the fact that he is usually always right.
*Max was the first {{ashfr|main character}} to have a lead role in a [[Pokémon movie]], as all movies before ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' had either Ash or a [[character of the day]] with the lead role.
*In the Ruby and Sapphire versions, an overworld character walking around {{ga|May}}'s house looks a lot like Max. In Emerald, he was changed to a generic kid sprite.
*Max is one of Ash's only two friends to never have met [[Gary Oak]]. The other is {{an|May}}, Max's sister.

[[Image:AG015.jpg|left|thumb|Max is an Avid Reader.]]Despite this, Max has been in a couple of [[Pokémon battle]]s. In ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule the School]]'', Max spent a day at [[Roxanne]]'s Trainers School where he battled with a {{p|Poliwag}} against a {{p|Magby}}. He used strategy in increasing Poliwag's defense as much as possible with {{m|Defense Curl}} but this backfired when Magby managed to get enough hits in during this time to knock Poliwag out. In the episode ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt!]]'', Max borrowed [[Ash's Corphish]] for a battle against [[Winstrate Family|Vivi Winstrate]].

Max is similar to [[Ritchie]] in his lack of popularity in the fandom. This has been stated on many occasions to be due to his lack of Pokémon, giving him little purpose compared to other main characters. However, certain episodes such as ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]'' and ''[[AG191|Home is Where the Start Is]]'' have redeemed him in some fans' eyes.

At the end of Advanced Generation, May announced that she wished to travel to Johto alone. This initially upset Max but Ash cheered him up with the promise of a battle between the two when Max becomes a trainer. He is currently staying at home in Petalburg City where he is taking lessons from his father and is helping to look after the Gym Pokémon. Max has received just two cameos since his departure, triggered by May's brief return for the [[Wallace Cup]] arc.

__NOTOC__
==Pokémon==
Due to not being a trainer, he is unable to train his own Pokémon. However, this hasn't stopped him from befriending or borrowing Pokémon, either wild or belonging to someone else. However, whenever he has taken control of a Pokémon he tends to rely on defensive techniques such as {{m|Protect}}.

==Achievements==
*[[Pokémon Orienteering]] - Runner-up (Participated with [[May's Munchlax]])

==Trivia==
[[Image:RSE SchoolkidM.png|thumb|right|A Ruby and Sapphire School Kid.]]
*His appearance is based upon the [[School Kid]] trainer class.
*Although that Max took [[Misty]]'s role of pinching [[Brock]]'s ear when he sees a pretty girl, he doesn't start doing that until he saw Misty do it in ''[[AG044|The Princess and The Togepi!]]''.
*His Japanese name, ''Masato'' can be taken to be 正人, which literally means ''correct/elegant man'', possibly referring to the fact that he is usually always right.
*Max was the first {{ashfr|main character}} to have a lead role in a [[Pokémon movie]], as all movies before ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' had either Ash or a [[character of the day]] with the lead role.
*In the Ruby and Sapphire versions, an overworld character walking around {{ga|May}}'s house looks a lot like Max. In Emerald, he was changed to a generic kid sprite.
*Max is one of Ash's only two friends to never have met [[Gary Oak]]. The other is {{an|May}}, Max's sister.

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the anime==
[[Image:ByronDP107.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Byron in the anime]]
In [[DP101]] it was revealed that he was defeated by {{an|Jun}}. Byron will make his debut appearance in [[DP107]] with his [[Bastiodon]] and in [[DP108]] his [[Bronzor]] will appear batting Ash's Chimchar. While his steelix appeared in {{an|Jun}}'s flashback in [[DP102]].
===Pokémon===
This listing is of Byron's known Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}:
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=100px cellspacing="0"
| align=center | [[Image:411.png]] {{p|Bastiodon}}
| align=center | [[Image:436.png]] {{p|Bronzor}}
| align=center | [[Image:208.png]] {{p|Steelix}}
|}

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Mine Badge]], {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a [[Metal Coat]] and leave.

===Quotes===
Before battle 
''"Ah! That's Oreburgh Gym Badge! I see, I see! You've defeated my son. But that's no surprise. He still has much to learn. In place of my son Roark, I, Byron, will take your challenge!"''

After sending out last Pokémon 
''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

During battle 
''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

When defeated 
''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon, defeated!"''

After being defeated 
''"You were strong enough to take down my prized team of Pokémon. In recognition of that power, I give you this: the Mine Badge!"''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Byron made an appearance with his Shieldon. Roark met him at Eterna City when exploring the Underground, where they discussed something (not known yet). Roark said that his father was the unpredictable type.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance.

==Trivia==
* Both Roark and Byron use [[Fossil]] [[Pokémon]] in Gym Battles, as well as a member of the {{p|Onix}} [[evolution]] line.
* He and [[Roark|his son]]'s badges are references to the term Coal Mine. Plus, they both have mines in or near their respective town ([[Oreburgh Mine]] and [[Iron Island]], which is supposed to have a mine).
* In {{V2|Platinum}}, all of Byron's Pokémon can have the {{A|Sturdy}} [[ability]].

===Sypnosis===
The opening begins with multiple colors shown, as well as the faces of {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and [[Brock]]. The title is then shown. The trio, with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, are now running across a grassy plain. After a close-up of Dawn, they are now on a sailboat, with all their Pokémon and {{p|Wingull}} above. After a close-up of Brock, he is now seen cooking with Pikachu and Mamoswine nearby and then the Pikachu and Piplup are seen playing while the Pokémon, Ash, Dawn and Brock are seen cheering them on. Dawn, with Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}, are then seen glaring at [[Zoey]] and her {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} and {{si|Kenny}} and his {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} while Ash, with Pikachu and {{AP|Chimchar}}, glare at [[Paul]] with his {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}. Dawn then slightly pushes Ash. Ash then gives her a thumbs-up as the sun rises. Close ups of Ash, Dawn and Brock and Pikachu and Piplup are seen. They are now seen running across a map of [[Sinnoh]]. Ash and Dawn then give each other a high-five. Then, from left to right, {{Delia}}, [[Professor Oak]], [[Max]], {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Misty]], and {{Gary}} are seen. The Pokémon then are seen smiling in pairs; {{AP|Buizel}} and Ambipom, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{AP|Grotle}}, {{AP|Staravia}} and {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, Mamoswine and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, Chimchar and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} and, finally, Pikachu and Piplup. [[Team Rocket]] are then seen blasting off with their Pokémon, one by one. Then [[Saturn]] is seen sending out his {{p|Toxicroak}}. He is then joined by [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]]. In the fiery backround, [[Cyrus]] and [[Team Galactic]]'s {{p|Golbat}} appear. [[J]], riding her {{p|Salamence}}, then appears with her ship behind her. Ash's Pokémon then apear and show off their moves; Buizel uses {{m|Aqua Jet}}, Staravia uses {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Gliscor, and then Grotle, run off, Chimchar uses {{m|Flame Wheel}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}. The gang once again run across the map. {{p|Regigigas}} is then seen fighting {{an|Darkrai}}, using {{m|Hyper Beam}}. The opening closes with the trio, with Piplup and Pikachu, posing.

* Background chorus

===Trivia===
*This song is preformed by [[Rica Matsumoto]] and [[Megumi Toyoguchi]], who are singing as the characters they voice ({{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} and {{tt|Hikari|Dawn}}, respectively).
*This is the first opening {{Gary}} has appeared in since [[Ready Go!]], the final [[original series]] opening, as well as the first that {{an|May}} and [[Max]] have appeared in since they left at the end of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. Likewise, [[Misty]] and {{Tracey}} make yet another opening appearance since their departure.
*[[Saturn]]'s Toxicroak imitates its battle animation in {{v2|Platinum}} after being released.
*{{p|Swinub}}'s evolution was updated in the episode in which happened. Also, it was not updated to show a {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}}, but a {{p|Mamoswine}}.

==Variants==
#[[DP096]] - [[DP100]]: The original animation.
#[[DP101]] - [[DP103]]: [[Ash's Grotle]] replaced its pre-evolution.
#[[DP104]] - present: A {{p|Mamoswine}} replaces [[Dawn's Swinub]].

Dawn's Mamoswine

'''Dawn's Piloswine''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリイノムー ''' ''Hikari's Inomoo'') was the fifth [[Pokémon]] captured by {{an|Dawn}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and her sixth Pokémon in all. It is voiced by ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in Japanese.

Piloswine's debut was in ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]'' as a {{p|Swinub}}, in which it appeared at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion, and caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's [[Poffin]]s (much to the displeasure of [[team|Dawn's other Pokémon]]), revealing its gluttonous nature. However, after helping to take down [[Team Rocket]], Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her.

In [[DP095]] Swinub watched its first contest when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{g|Contest}}.

Swinub [[evolve]]d into Piloswine in [[DP104]] in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. However, after evolving its personality drastically changed. Knowing numerous powerful attacks, Piloswine felt much stronger and more confident than it did as a Swinub, and began to disobey Dawn's orders.

==Moves used==
* {{m|Take Down}}
* {{m|Ice Shard}}
* {{m|Ice Beam}}
* {{m|Dig}}

==Trivia==
*Piloswine, alongside [[Ash's Gliscor]], is the only Pokémon in the parties of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} to be absent from the original [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh Dex]] (though [[Jessie]] of [[Team Rocket]] has {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, and [[Paul]] owns {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}, and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}}).
*Piloswine is the first capture Dawn has made since {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, exactly [[DP034|50 episodes ago]]. It is also her only capture in which she didn't [[battle]] the Pokémon twice, or even at all.
*Piloswine is the fifth, and most recent, Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]] that is in the party of a member of the main cast during the [[Diamond & Pearl series]].
*Piloswine is also the second Pokémon that Dawn owns that was introduced in a generation other than the one she was introduced in, after Aipom.
*It's interesting to note that Dawn's best friend, [[Leona]], owns three Swinub of her own.
*Piloswine has some similarities with [[May's Munchlax]]: Swinub loves to eat mass quantities of [[Poffin]]; likewise, May's Munchlax enjoys mass quantities of [[Pokéblock]] (the [[Generation III]] counterpart of the Poffin).
*So far, Piloswine is Dawn's only {{cat|dual-type Pokémon}}.

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the anime==
In [[DP101]] it was revealed that he was defeated by [[Jun (anime)|Jun]]. In [[DP102]] it was revealed that he has a Steelix. He will appear in [[DP107]] and battle Ash in [[DP108]].

| align=center | [[Image:208.png]] {{p|Steelix}}
|}

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Mine Badge]], {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a [[Metal Coat]] and leave.

===Quotes===
Before battle 
''"Ah! That's Oreburgh Gym Badge! I see, I see! You've defeated my son. But that's no surprise. He still has much to learn. In place of my son Roark, I, Byron, will take your challenge!"''

After sending out last Pokémon 
''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

During battle 
''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

When defeated 
''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon, defeated!"''

After being defeated 
''"You were strong enough to take down my prized team of Pokémon. In recognition of that power, I give you this: the Mine Badge!"''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Byron made an appearance with his Shieldon. Roark met him at Eterna City when exploring the Underground, where they discussed something (not known yet). Roark said that his father was the unpredictable type.

====Pokémon====
This listing is of Byron's Pokémon in the Pokémon Special manga.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance.

==Trivia==
* Both Roark and Byron use [[Fossil]] Pokémon in Gym Battles, as well as a member of the Onix [[evolution]] line.
* He and his [[Roark|son's]] badges are references to the term Coal Mine. Plus, they both have mines in or near their respective town (Oreburgh Mine and Iron Island, which is supposed to have a mine).
* In Platinum, all of Byron's Pokémon can have the Sturdy ability.

'''Byron''' (Japanese: '''トウガン''' ''Tougan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Canalave City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Canalave Gym]]. He hands out the [[Mine Badge]] to [[Pokémon trainer|trainers]] who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Steel}} [[Pokémon]]. He is [[Roark]]'s father.

==In the anime==
According to a blog by Kazuki Yao, who will play the voice of Byron in the anime, he will appear in [[DP105]] and [[DP106]] in a one hour special.In the episode [[DP102]] his Steelix appeared in Jun's flashback.

==In the games==
Byron uses {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in his battles. Trainers who defeat him will receive the [[Mine Badge]], {{TM|91|Flash Cannon}}, and will be able to use {{m|Strength}} outside of battle. Byron asked [[Riley]] to become a Gym Leader, but Riley declined because he thought Byron's son Roark should be considered first. Byron isn't surprised to find his inexperienced son lost to the protagonist, but is enthusiastic about the next generation of Pokémon trainers. Byron resolves to train harder at [[Iron Island]] to compete with younger trainers.

He apparently owns the normally deserted cabin on Iron Island. After the Elite Four, he can be found there. Speaking to him results in him chiding himself for still treating Roark like a child, then he'll give the player a [[Metal Coat]] and leave.

===Quotes===
Before battle 
''"Ah! That's Oreburgh Gym Badge! I see, I see! You've defeated my son. But that's no surprise. He still has much to learn. In place of my son Roark, I, Byron, will take your challenge!"''

After sending out last Pokémon 
''"Oh, what's this? My last one! This is where we make our stand!"''

During battle 
''"We're not done yet! There's no giving up!"''

When defeated 
''"Hmm! My sturdy Pokémon, defeated!"''

After being defeated 
''"You were strong enough to take down my prized team of Pokémon. In recognition of that power, I give you this: the Mine Badge!"''

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Byron made an appearance with his Shieldon. Roark met him at Eterna City when exploring the Underground, where they discussed something (not known yet). Roark said that his father was the unpredictable type.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Byron finds [[Hareta]] washed up on the shore after having been defeated by [[Cyrus]]. Byron takes Hareta in and allows him to regain his strength before putting him through a rigorous training session similar to what he put Roark through years ago. Hareta charges forward never considering his remaining strength, causing him to fail the challenge at the final stage. Byron then sends him to [[Iron Island]] to restart his training from scratch and improve his skills. He returns at the completion of Hareta's training to allow him to take his challenge again, however something terrible is happening in the distance.

==Trivia==
* Both Roark and Byron use [[Fossil]] Pokémon in Gym Battles, as well as a member of the Onix [[evolution]] line.
* He and his [[Roark|son's]] badges are references to the term Coal Mine. Plus, they both have mines in or near their respective town (Oreburgh Mine and Iron Island, which is supposed to have a mine).
* In Platinum, all of Byron's Pokémon can have the Sturdy ability.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by Ash's criticism of his training, then Ash proceeds to use similar training methods, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]].

Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect, as well as distaste towards [[Brock]], probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Jun}} also admires Paul and his training methods and wants to become a strong trainer like him.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:

| align=center colspan=1 | [[Image:126.png]] {{p|Magmar}}
|}

As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.

===Released===

| align=center | [[Image:390.png]] {{AP|Chimchar}}
|}
It is implied that Paul has caught and released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle.

Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.

===Given away===

|-
| align=center | [[Image:184.png]] {{p|Azumarill}}

Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.

===Status unknown===

| align=center | [[Image:291.png]] {{p|Ninjask}}
| align=center | [[Image:075.png]] {{p|Graveler}}
|}

Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''.

In one of Chimchar's flashbacks in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears]]'' of its training with Paul , a {{p|Graveler}} was seen using {{m|Rock Throw}} on {{AP|Chimchar}} while Paul was telling it to use its [[ability]], {{a|Blaze}}. This might mean that Graveler belongs to Paul and is used for training Chimchar.

In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too". Whether it includes Ninjask or possibly Fearow is also unknown.

{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=300px cellspacing="0"

| align=center | [[Image:217.png]] {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}
|}

As of [[DP100]], Paul was shown to have Torterra, Weavile, Gliscor, Honchkrow, and Magmar on his team, while Ursaring and Electabuzz were unseen. It is unknown which of the two Paul has on hand, if he even does have either one of them at all.

==Known badges obtained==
====Sinnoh League====
* {{badge|Coal}}
* {{badge|Cobble}}
* {{badge|Relic}}

==Pokémon League==
Paul has competed (off-screen) in the following Pokémon League competitions:
*[[Ever Grande Conference]]
*[[Indigo League Conference]]
*[[Silver Conference]]

==Pokémon competitions==
* [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] (Champion - with {{Ash}})

==Trivia==
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai", coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase "new guy". The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.
*His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
*[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.
*All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]].
**{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.
**{{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).
** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and Magmar were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).
*Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
** Also, Paul shares two Pokémon with the Team Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]]: Honchkrow and Weavile.
*Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].
*Similar to {{Ash}}'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul's starter is also based on a turtle.
* Except for [[Ash's Buizel]], most of Ash's on hand team is related to Paul and/or his Pokémon in some way:
**[[Ash's Pikachu]] had a rivalry with Electabuzz.
**[[Ash's Chimchar]] used to be owned by Paul.
**[[Ash's Grotle]] has an evolved counterpart that Paul currently uses. Grotle also evolved during a battle with Paul.
**[[Ash's Gliscor]] is a direct counterpart to Paul's and, as a Gligar, was part of the Gligar pack led by Paul's Gliscor.
**{{AP|Staravia}} is an example of Ash's training differing from Paul's. Paul previously owned several Starly, but released them all.
*Ash and Paul have battled 4 times. Two of these times, their battle was a draw, but Paul beat Ash in their second battle using {{AP|Chimchar}} against {{AP|Turtwig}}. Paul and Ash battled a 4th time in [[DP100]], where Paul won.
* Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with some rivals, as well:
** [[Paul's Torterra]] is in a same fashion as [[Gary's Blastoise]], as they are turtle-based starter Pokémon.
** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]], as Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.
** Both Paul and Gary have a {{p|Magmar}}.
** Gary has a {{p|Fearow}}, which Paul tried to catch in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', but kept getting interrupted by Ash and [[Ash's friends|the gang]].
** The belief that [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]] was Paul's starter Pokémon in its first few episodes is much like the belief that [[Gary's Umbreon]], as an Eevee, was Gary's starter.
** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like [[Gary Oak|Gary]] did until the end of the Johto saga.
** Paul sometimes leaves his reserve Pokémon with [[Reggie|his brother]] for training, much like Gary leaves his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab.
*Paul has owned two Pokémon that are voiced by [[Bill Rogers]] in the dub: {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Paul|Weavile}}.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by Ash's criticism of his training, then Ash proceeds to use similar training methods, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]].

Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect, as well as distaste towards [[Brock]], probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Jun}} also admires Paul and his training methods and wants to become a strong trainer like him.

As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.

It is implied that Paul has caught and released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle.

Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.

Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.

Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''.

In one of Chimchar's flashbacks in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears]]'' of its training with Paul , a {{p|Graveler}} was seen using {{m|Rock Throw}} on {{AP|Chimchar}} while Paul was telling it to use its [[ability]], {{a|Blaze}}. This might mean that Graveler belongs to Paul and is used for training Chimchar.

In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too". Whether it includes Ninjask or possibly Fearow is also unknown.

As of [[DP100]], Paul was shown to have Torterra, Weavile, Gliscor, Honchkrow, and Magmar on his team, while Ursaring and Electabuzz were unseen. It is unknown which of the two Paul has on hand, if he even does have either one of them at all.

==Pokémon League==
Paul has competed (off-screen) in the following Pokémon League competitions:
*[[Ever Grande Conference]]
*[[Indigo League Conference]]
*[[Silver Conference]]

==Pokémon competitions==
* [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] (Champion - with {{Ash}})

==Trivia==
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai", coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase "new guy". The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.
*His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
*[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.
*All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]].
**{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.
**{{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).
** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and Magmar were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).
*Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
** Also, Paul shares two Pokémon with the Team Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]]: Honchkrow and Weavile.
*Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].
*Similar to {{Ash}}'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul's starter is also based on a turtle.
* Except for [[Ash's Buizel]], most of Ash's on hand team is related to Paul and/or his Pokémon in some way:
**[[Ash's Pikachu]] had a rivalry with Electabuzz.
**[[Ash's Chimchar]] used to be owned by Paul.
**[[Ash's Grotle]] has an evolved counterpart that Paul currently uses. Grotle also evolved during a battle with Paul.
**[[Ash's Gliscor]] is a direct counterpart to Paul's and, as a Gligar, was part of the Gligar pack led by Paul's Gliscor.
**{{AP|Staravia}} is an example of Ash's training differing from Paul's. Paul previously owned several Starly, but released them all.
*Ash and Paul have battled 4 times. Two of these times, their battle was a draw, but Paul beat Ash in their second battle using {{AP|Chimchar}} against {{AP|Turtwig}}. Paul and Ash battled a 4th time in [[DP100]], where Paul won.
* Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with some rivals, as well:
** [[Paul's Torterra]] is in a same fashion as [[Gary's Blastoise]], as they are turtle-based starter Pokémon.
** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]], as Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.
** Both Paul and Gary have a {{p|Magmar}}.
** Gary has a {{p|Fearow}}, which Paul tried to catch in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', but kept getting interrupted by Ash and [[Ash's friends|the gang]].
** The belief that [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]] was Paul's starter Pokémon in its first few episodes is much like the belief that [[Gary's Umbreon]], as an Eevee, was Gary's starter.
** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like [[Gary Oak|Gary]] did until the end of the Johto saga.
** Paul sometimes leaves his reserve Pokémon with [[Reggie|his brother]] for training, much like Gary leaves his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab.
*Paul has owned two Pokémon that are voiced by [[Bill Rogers]] in the dub: {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Paul|Weavile}}.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by Ash's criticism of his training, then Ash proceeds to use similar training methods, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]].

Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect, as well as distaste towards [[Brock]], probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Jun}} also admires Paul and his training methods and wants to become a strong trainer like him.

Jack Walker

Tylerkarnes: /* On hand */

[[Image:jackie.jpg|frame|right|Jack Walker]]
'''Jack Walker''' (Japanese: '''ジャック・ウォーカー'''), or '''Jackie''' (Japanese: '''ジャッキー'''), is a protagonist in the movie ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. Jack joins [[Ash Ketchum]] and friends in the middle of a top-secret mission that sees him delivering a [[Pokémon egg]] to the Sea Temple [[Samiya]]. This egg, which belongs to the Prince of the Sea, {{an|Manaphy}}, is said to unlock the secrets of the Sea Temple's treasure.

==In the anime==
In ''[[AG172|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]'', ''[[Spurt!]]'', the opening theme to the Pokémon television series, was updated to include Walker and fellow ranger [[Solana]]. This was the first time that a human movie character appeared in the anime arc, with the exception of Sammy, who appeared in the series to begin with.

===In the movie===
[[Image:ClownWalker.jpg|thumb|right|Jackie in his clown disguise]]Jack Walker is an athletic young man who decided to become a [[Pokémon Ranger (trainer class)|Pokémon Ranger]] after being saved from a blizzard by a group of {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Swablu}}, {{p|Furret}}, {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Shroomish}}. As such, he takes his duties seriously. He is voiced by [[Rich McNanna]] in English and ''[[Koichi Yamadera|Kōichi Yamadera]]'' (山寺宏一) in Japanese.

In the movie, after meeting up with Ash Ketchum and his friends, he decided to team up with them to help protect the egg containing Manaphy. When the egg hatched and Manaphy became close to May, he showed concern about their relationship, knowing they were getting too attached as it was Manaphy's destiny to leave them for the Sea Temple.Also when Chatot left the Phantom jack asked it to come with him it then went with Jack

==In the manga==
Before Jack became a Pokémon Ranger, he was a member of the pirate Phantom's crew, and learned of his captain's plan to capture the legendary Pokémon {{p|Kyogre}}. Learning that {{p|Manaphy}} was the way of obtaining Kyogre, Jack stole Manaphy's egg and escaped from the ship, using a Mantine to escape.

*Most Pokémon Rangers are portrayed as having a "Partner Pokémon" who is with them at all times. Jack Walker is the only Ranger ever shown without one, although it is implied that [[the Phantom]]'s {{p|Chatot}} may have remained with him after Jack befriended it during the flooding of the temple.
* By the looks of his uniform, he is from [[Ringtown]].

Jack Walker

Tylerkarnes: /* In the movie */

[[Image:jackie.jpg|frame|right|Jack Walker]]
'''Jack Walker''' (Japanese: '''ジャック・ウォーカー'''), or '''Jackie''' (Japanese: '''ジャッキー'''), is a protagonist in the movie ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. Jack joins [[Ash Ketchum]] and friends in the middle of a top-secret mission that sees him delivering a [[Pokémon egg]] to the Sea Temple [[Samiya]]. This egg, which belongs to the Prince of the Sea, {{an|Manaphy}}, is said to unlock the secrets of the Sea Temple's treasure.

==In the anime==
In ''[[AG172|All That Glitters is Not Golden]]'', ''[[Spurt!]]'', the opening theme to the Pokémon television series, was updated to include Walker and fellow ranger [[Solana]]. This was the first time that a human movie character appeared in the anime arc, with the exception of Sammy, who appeared in the series to begin with.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' in Japanese and [[Julián Rebolledo]] in English. Internationally, he is played by ''Diego Armando Nieves'' in Latin American Spanish and [[Gabriel Noya]] in the Brazilian dub.

Paul's only concern in his Pokémon is of their strength in battle. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of releasing them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new captures with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and trains the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that bonding with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. As a person, Paul has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile. Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven untrue in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]] and participated in their respective leagues before coming back to [[Sinnoh]].

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a near hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul disagrees. However it could be stated, based on their current battle record against each other that Ash and Paul are equally skilled trainers but Paul's team is overall stronger at the present time. This is only because Paul has kept more or less the same team throughout his journey while Ash has started again with Pikachu once every two major region challenge. Although Paul finds most of Ash's Pokémon weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Paul is also angered by Ash's criticism of his training, then Ash proceeds to use similar training methods, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]].

Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know Dawn's name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect, as well as distaste towards [[Brock]], probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. {{an|Jun}} also admires Paul and his training methods and wants to become a strong trainer like him.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode:

As a result of Paul's selective team creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.

| align=center | [[Image:234.png]] {{p|Stantler}}
| align=center | [[Image:390.png]] {{AP|Chimchar}}
|}
It is implied that Paul has caught and released many more Pokémon than has been shown on-screen. Two of the Starly caught in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'' and the Stantler caught in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' were released as soon as he checked them on his Pokédex. The final Starly was kept due to its knowledge of {{m|Aerial Ace}} and used against Ash's {{AP|Starly}} in their first battle. Despite Paul's Starly winning, Paul decided it was not up to his standards and so it was released after the battle.

Chimchar's capture was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul releases it at the end of that episode. Ash then offers Chimchar a place on his team and it happily accepts.

===Given away===

Paul caught Azumarill for his battle with [[Roark]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', attempting to use the type advantage over the Rock-type Pokémon. However, Roark's Geodude had little trouble in defeating the {{t|Water}} Pokémon. After such a loss, Paul gave Azumarill away to a little boy during ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''.

===Status unknown===

| align=center | [[Image:217.png]] {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}

|}

Ninjask was caught shortly before Paul saw Chimchar, as shown in a flashback in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]''. Paul was also seen attempting to capture a Fearow in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]''. Whether he kept them or even succeeded in catching Fearow is unknown.

In one of Chimchar's flashbacks in ''[[DP053|Tears for Fears]]'', a {{p|Graveler}} was seen using {{m|Rock Throw}} on {{AP|Chimchar}} while Paul was telling it to use its [[ability]], {{a|Blaze}}, so the Graveler may possibly belong to Paul.

In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too". Whether it includes Ninjask or possibly Fearow is also unknown.

As of [[DP100]], Paul was shown to have Torterra, Weavile, Gliscor, Honchkrow, and Magmar on his team, while Ursaring and Electabuzz were unseen. It is unknown which of the two Paul has on hand, if he even does have either one of them at all.

==Known badges obtained==
====Sinnoh League====
* {{badge|Coal}}
* {{badge|Cobble}}
* {{badge|Relic}}

==Pokémon League==
Paul has competed (off-screen) in the following Pokémon League competitions:
*[[Ever Grande Conference]]
*[[Indigo League Conference]]
*[[Silver Conference]]

==Pokémon competitions==
* [[Sinnoh Double Battle Tournament]] (Champion - with {{Ash}})

==Trivia==
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai", coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase "new guy". The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.
*His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
*[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.
*All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]].
**{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.
**{{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).
** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and Magmar were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).
*Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
** Also, Paul shares two Pokémon with the Team Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]]: Honchkrow and Weavile.
*Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].
*Similar to {{Ash}}'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul's starter is also based on a turtle.
* Except for [[Ash's Buizel]], most of Ash's on hand team is related to Paul and/or his Pokémon in some way:
**[[Ash's Pikachu]] had a rivalry with Electabuzz.
**[[Ash's Chimchar]] used to be owned by Paul.
**[[Ash's Grotle]] has an evolved counterpart that Paul currently uses. Grotle also evolved during a battle with Paul.
**[[Ash's Gliscor]] is a direct counterpart to Paul's and, as a Gligar, was part of the Gligar pack led by Paul's Gliscor.
**{{AP|Staravia}} is an example of Ash's training differing from Paul's. Paul previously owned several Starly, but released them all.
*Ash and Paul have battled 4 times. Two of these times, their battle was a draw, but Paul beat Ash in their second battle using {{AP|Chimchar}} against {{AP|Turtwig}}. Paul and Ash battled a 4th time in [[DP100]], where Paul won.
* Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with some rivals, as well:
** [[Paul's Torterra]] is in a same fashion as [[Gary's Blastoise]], as they are turtle-based starter Pokémon.
** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]], as Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.
** Both Paul and Gary have a {{p|Magmar}}.
** Gary has a {{p|Fearow}}, which Paul tried to catch in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', but kept getting interrupted by Ash and [[Ash's friends|the gang]].
** The belief that [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]] was Paul's starter Pokémon in its first few episodes is much like the belief that [[Gary's Umbreon]], as an Eevee, was Gary's starter.
** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like [[Gary Oak|Gary]] did until the end of the Johto saga.
** Paul sometimes leaves his reserve Pokémon with [[Reggie|his brother]] for training, much like Gary leaves his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab.
*Paul has owned three Pokémon that are voiced by [[Bill Rogers]] in the dub. {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{p|Azumarill}}, and {{TP|Paul|Weavile}}.

As of [[DP100]], Paul was shown to have Torterra, Weavile, Gliscor, Honchkrow, and Magmar on his team, while Ursaring and Electabuzz were unseen. It is unknown which of the two Paul has on hand, if he even does have either one of them at all.

==Trivia==
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai", coined by {{u|Pie}} as a play on the phrase "new guy". The first scan showed him commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}.
*His Japanese name, ''Shinji'', can be taken to be 信二, which literally means ''faithful second (son)''. This fits, as he has an older brother, [[Reggie]]. He may be named for 宮崎慎二 ''[[Shinji Miyazaki]]'', who is the composer of the music of the Pokémon anime. The name Paul, meanwhile, is a reference to Paul Baron, a staff member at The Pokémon Company, as well as [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], in contrast to {{an|Dawn}} referencing [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]]. This can also be applied to his Japanese name— the Japanese word for "pearl" is ''shinju'' (真珠), though there is no such link for Dawn's Japanese name. There is, however, a link in Dawn's own rival, {{si|Kenny}}, whose Japanese name of ケンゴ ''Kengo'' is similar to the Japanese 金剛 ''kongo''.
** Paul's Japanese name is Shinji and his brother Reggie's Japanese name (Reiji) contains "Rei". {{wp|Shinji Ikari|Shinji}} and {{wp|Rei Ayanami|Rei}} are both names of characters from {{wp|Neon Genesis Evangelion}}.
*[[Image:SugimoriSilverSketch.jpg|thumb|Sugimori's sketch of Silver]]Several similarities have been noted between Paul and a game rival, {{ga|Silver}}. Their personalities are especially similar. Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{Special|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Special. Both have an Ursaring. Both have also owned a Murkrow at one point, and assuming Paul caught his Weavile as a Sneasel, both have owned a Sneasel at one point.
*All of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team except his {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, are part of an [[evolution family]] related to [[Generation II]].
**{{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} was introduced in Generation II.
**{{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}, {{TP|Paul|Weavile}} and {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} are [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Sneasel}} and {{p|Gligar}}, respectively).
** {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}} and Magmar were introduced in [[Generation I]], but evolve from Generation II Pokémon ({{p|Elekid}} and {{p|Magby}}, respectively).
*Paul's hometown is [[Veilstone City]], which happens to be the home of the main headquarters of [[Team Galactic]]. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
** Also, Paul shares two Pokémon with the Team Galactic Boss, [[Cyrus]]: Honchkrow and Weavile.
*Paul is the only rival to have had two starter Pokémon in his team, but eventually releases [[Ash's Chimchar|one of them]].
*Similar to {{Ash}}'s previous rival [[Gary Oak|Gary]], whose starter was a {{p|Squirtle}}, which is based on a turtle, Paul's starter is also based on a turtle.
* Except for [[Ash's Buizel]], most of Ash's on hand team is related to Paul and/or his Pokémon in some way:
**[[Ash's Pikachu]] had a rivalry with Electabuzz.
**[[Ash's Chimchar]] used to be owned by Paul.
**[[Ash's Grotle]] has an evolved counterpart that Paul currently uses. Grotle also evolved during a battle with Paul.
**[[Ash's Gliscor]] is a direct counterpart to Paul's and, as a Gligar, was part of the Gligar pack led by Paul's Gliscor.
**{{AP|Staravia}} is an example of Ash's training differing from Paul's. Paul previously owned several Starly, but released them all.
*Ash and Paul have battled 4 times. Two of these times, their battle was a draw, but Paul beat Ash in their second battle using {{AP|Chimchar}} against {{AP|Turtwig}}. Paul and Ash battled a 4th time in [[DP100]], where Paul won.
* Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with some rivals, as well:
** [[Paul's Torterra]] is in a same fashion as [[Gary's Blastoise]], as they are turtle-based starter Pokémon.
** [[Paul's Electabuzz]] is in the same evolution family as [[Gary's Electivire]], as Electabuzz evolves into Electivire.
** Both Paul and Gary have a {{p|Magmar}}.
** Gary has a {{p|Fearow}}, which Paul tried to catch in ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', but kept getting interrupted by Ash and [[Ash's friends|the gang]].
** The belief that [[Ash's Chimchar|Chimchar]] was Paul's starter Pokémon in its first few episodes is much like the belief that [[Gary's Umbreon]], as an Eevee, was Gary's starter.
** Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like [[Gary Oak|Gary]] did until the end of the Johto saga.
** Paul sometimes leaves his reserve Pokémon with [[Reggie|his brother]] for training, much like Gary leaves his Pokémon at Professor Oak's Lab.
*Paul has owned three Pokémon that are voiced by [[Bill Rogers]] in the dub. {{AP|Chimchar}}, {{p|Azumarill}}, and {{TP|Paul|Weavile}}.
