'''Iris's Axew''' (Japanese: '''アイリスのキバゴ ''' ''Iris's Kibago'') is the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that {{an|Iris}} was known to have. He debuted alongside his Trainer in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.

==History==
[[File:Iris Axew debut.png|250px|thumb|left|Axew upon meeting Iris for the first time]]
Axew was the first Pokémon that Iris was known to have obtained. She obtained Axew from the [[Elder]] of her hometown when he was just a few days old. She was given the task of journeying with Axew in order to help raise him into a great {{p|Haxorus}}.

Axew was the first Pokémon that {{Ash}} scanned with his new [[Pokédex]] in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', though he was actually aiming it at Iris's hair and wondering why Axew looked nothing like what the Pokédex showed.

Like Pikachu and [[Dawn's Piplup]], Axew appears to prefer being outside of his [[Poké Ball]] (if Axew even has a Poké Ball), but unlike them, he likes to travel inside Iris's long hair, while Pikachu and Piplup usually go on their Trainer's shoulder.

In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} told Iris and Axew that they have perfect compatibility. He also added that Axew is a rather rare Pokémon. In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' it was revealed through the [[Dream Mist]] that Axew wants to [[evolution|evolve]] to his {{p|Haxorus|final stage}}, unlike most of the other [[walking Pokémon]] in the anime.
[[File:IrisBW4.png|thumb|right|Iris and Axew in their official artwork]]

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', it was shown that Axew has not had much experience in battling, crying when he was hit by weakened {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} attacks from [[Cilan's Pansage]]; however, he was shown to be able to produce an extremely powerful {{m|Dragon Rage}} that could cause massive destruction, but was uncontrollable and had a tendency to explode in all directions rather than beam at a specific target as it is meant to. Both Ash and Cilan playfully referred to it as a "Dragon Sneeze", much to Iris's annoyance. A pun exists where, as Axew says his name while using "Dragon Sneeze", it sounds rather like "achoo". Later in the episode, Axew was trapped in the horns of a wild {{p|Scolipede}}, and Iris and the others had to rescue him using their Pokémon.

In ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'', Axew seemed excited about Ash's Pokémon Egg being ready to hatch; so much so that he accidentally sent it rolling down a hill. After it hatched into {{AP|Scraggy}}, Axew became afraid of him after seeing how aggressive he was with the other Pokémon. Even so, he kept his eye on Scraggy and was the first to notice that it ran off in the middle of the night. Axew assisted Iris in finding a plant that would help Scraggy recover after it was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by a wild {{p|Galvantula}}. The next day when Scraggy felt better, Axew battled it. Both Pokémon ended up knocking each other out thanks to another failed Dragon Rage. The two have another battle in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', however it was stopped after Axew attempts, again, to use Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'', when fighting Team Rocket alongside Pikachu and [[Emmy]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}, Axew finally mastered Dragon Rage, sending out a stream of energy instead of exploding right on the spot, defeating Team Rocket. Later, in ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'', Axew had another battle with [[Ash's Scraggy]], but this time he won thanks to his mastered Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', Axew battled [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Beartic}} briefly, but was defeated after a collision of {{m|Ice Beam}} and Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! "Zorua in the Pokémon Knight!"]]'', Axew played the role of the {{an|Iris|Dragon Master}}'s strongest Pokémon. She used Axew against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in order to bring out its inner strength. However, Pikachu defeated Axew with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}/{{m|Electro Ball}} combination.

Iris used Axew in the semi-final round of the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against [[Luke]]. Axew struggled at first against Luke's {{p|Golett}}, but managed to win the battle after learning {{m|Outrage}}, allowing Iris to move on to the final round.
[[File:Axew Scraggy playing.png|thumb|left|200px|Axew and Scraggy playing]]
In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Axew was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Tepig using {{m|Ember}}, which soon became {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{AP|Roggenrola}} using {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

He battled with Scraggy once more in ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''; however, seeing as Scraggy had learned {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, they proved evenly matched. After the battle, he and Scraggy went off to play, untill they ran into a {{p|Gothita}} that took a liking to Scraggy. Gothita's [[Katharine|Trainer]] challenged Ash to a battle on the condition that if she won, he'd have to trade Scraggy away to her. Ash won the battle, but Axew still had a nightmare the following night about losing his best friend. He then awoke to find that Scraggy and Gothita had left. He pursued them and attempted to get Scraggy away from Gothita by hitting it with Dragon Rage. However she ended up disturbing a wild {{p|Garbodor}} who attacked them, untill {{AP|Snivy}} showed up to protect them and Katharine, Gothita's Trainer, used her {{p|Deerling}} to calm the Trash Heap Pokémon. The next day, Axew was happy to see Gothita storm away after Snivy defeated her in battle.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Axew became friends with a {{p|Gothorita}} owned by [[Lewis]], who expressed great interest in him. Axew admired Gothorita as she prayed at {{p|Landorus}}'s shrine for it to rain on [[Milos Island]], and later when Gothorita saved him and Iris from falling onto some sharp rocks. Later, Axew was able to hit {{p|Thundurus}} with {{m|Dragon Rage}} and would have been hit by its {{m|Thunder}} if [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] had not blocked the attack with {{m|Mud Bomb}}. Understanding the dire situation, Axew encouraged Gothorita when it was asked by Lewis to plead with {{p|Tornadus}} and Thundurus. In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Axew helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from {{TRT}}; he used Dragon Rage on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, joined by Ash's Pikachu, [[Ash's Roggenrola]], Iris's Emolga and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|240px|thumb|right|Axew in Iris's hair]]
Axew appears to be a friendly Pokémon, making quick friends with [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and with other Pokémon. He and Iris are shown to have a strong relationship such as in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' where a {{p|Sandile}} had caught him in its jaws, Iris tried everything to get him out.
Though lacking superior battle skills, Axew makes up for it with a kind personality as mentioned by Cilan. If Iris feels sad, he will go off to collect fruit in order to cheer her up. Axew is also somewhat of a pacifist and often hides or panics when the other Pokémon who accompany him start to fight each other as seen ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', when he was seen running around in circles when {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, Scraggy and {{AP|Swadloon}} started fighting over food. Though he has been shown to have some childish traits, such as in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'', where he fought with {{AP|Pikachu}} when he thought Pikachu was the one who ate all the food.

Axew will often express concern for other Pokémon. In ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', he was grateful when an {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} stopped his apple from rolling down a hill and wanted to share some of it with her. When she left after being smothered by {{an|Bianca}}, he was desperate to find her again. However, this could be because Axew has a little crush on Emolga, as confirmed by {{an|Iris}} in the same episode.

Axew also seems to see Scraggy like a little brother, since ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' when Iris told him he was Scraggy's big brother. Since then, Axew always had kept a close eye on Scraggy to keep him out of trouble, and the two have become training partners, and best friends, most likely due to the fact that they're the youngest. In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'' he was horrified that he might never see him again if Scraggy was given to [[Katharine]], even having a nightmare about it.

In ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'' it was revealed through the [[Dream Mist]] that Axew wants to [[evolution|evolve]] to his {{p|Haxorus|final stage}}, unlike most of the other [[walking Pokémon]] in the anime.
[[File:IrisBW4.png|thumb|right|Iris and Axew in their official artwork]]

In ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]'', it was shown that Axew has not had much experience in battling, crying when he was hit by weakened {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} attacks from [[Cilan's Pansage]]; however, he was shown to be able to produce an extremely powerful {{m|Dragon Rage}} that could cause massive destruction, but was uncontrollable and had a tendency to explode in all directions rather than beam at a specific target as it is meant to. Both Ash and Cilan playfully referred to it as a "Dragon Sneeze", much to Iris's annoyance. A pun exists where, as Axew says his name while using "Dragon Sneeze", it sounds rather like "achoo". Later in the episode, Axew was trapped in the horns of a wild {{p|Scolipede}}, and Iris and the others had to rescue him using their Pokémon.

In ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'', Axew seemed excited about Ash's Pokémon Egg being ready to hatch; so much so that he accidentally sent it rolling down a hill. After it hatched into {{AP|Scraggy}}, Axew became afraid of him after seeing how aggressive he was with the other Pokémon. Even so, he kept his eye on Scraggy and was the first to notice that it ran off in the middle of the night. Axew assisted Iris in finding a plant that would help Scraggy recover after it was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by a wild {{p|Galvantula}}. The next day when Scraggy felt better, Axew battled it. Both Pokémon ended up knocking each other out thanks to another failed Dragon Rage. The two have another battle in ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', however it was stopped after Axew attempts, again, to use Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'', when fighting Team Rocket alongside Pikachu and [[Emmy]]'s {{p|Druddigon}}, Axew finally mastered Dragon Rage, sending out a stream of energy instead of exploding right on the spot, defeating Team Rocket. Later, in ''[[BW029|Cottonee in Love!]]'', Axew had another battle with [[Ash's Scraggy]], but this time he won thanks to his mastered Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', Axew battled [[Georgia]]'s {{p|Beartic}} briefly, but was defeated after a collision of {{m|Ice Beam}} and Dragon Rage.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! "Zorua in the Pokémon Knight!"]]'', Axew played the role of the {{an|Iris|Dragon Master}}'s strongest Pokémon. She used Axew against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in order to bring out its inner strength. However, Pikachu defeated Axew with a powerful {{m|Thunderbolt}}/{{m|Electro Ball}} combination.

Iris used Axew in the semi-final round of the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against [[Luke]]. Axew struggled at first against Luke's {{p|Golett}}, but managed to win the battle after learning {{m|Outrage}}, allowing Iris to move on to the final round.
[[File:Axew Scraggy playing.png|thumb|left|200px|Axew and Scraggy playing]]
In ''[[BW048|Battle For The Underground!]]'', Axew was used to propel the train cart Ash and friends were riding on to get away from Team Rocket; along with Tepig using {{m|Ember}}, which soon became {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{AP|Roggenrola}} using {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

He battled with Scraggy once more in ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]''; however, seeing as Scraggy had learned {{m|Hi Jump Kick}}, they proved evenly matched. After the battle, he and Scraggy went off to play, untill they ran into a {{p|Gothita}} that took a liking to Scraggy. Gothita's [[Katharine|Trainer]] challenged Ash to a battle on the condition that if she won, he'd have to trade Scraggy away to her. Ash won the battle, but Axew still had a nightmare the following night about losing his best friend. He then awoke to find that Scraggy and Gothita had left. He pursued them and attempted to get Scraggy away from Gothita by hitting it with Dragon Rage. However she ended up disturbing a wild {{p|Garbodor}} who attacked them, untill {{AP|Snivy}} showed up to protect them and Katharine, Gothita's Trainer, used her {{p|Deerling}} to calm the Trash Heap Pokémon. The next day, Axew was happy to see Gothita storm away after Snivy defeated her in battle.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Axew became friends with a {{p|Gothorita}} owned by [[Lewis]], who expressed great interest in him. Axew admired Gothorita as she prayed at {{p|Landorus}}'s shrine for it to rain on [[Milos Island]], and later when Gothorita saved him and Iris from falling onto some sharp rocks. Later, Axew was able to hit {{p|Thundurus}} with {{m|Dragon Rage}} and would have been hit by its {{m|Thunder}} if [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] had not blocked the attack with {{m|Mud Bomb}}. Understanding the dire situation, Axew encouraged Gothorita when it was asked by Lewis to plead with {{p|Tornadus}} and Thundurus. In ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Axew helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from {{TRT}}; he used Dragon Rage on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, joined by Ash's Pikachu, [[Ash's Roggenrola]], Iris's Emolga and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Axew Iris hair.png|240px|thumb|right|Axew in Iris's hair]]
Axew appears to be a friendly Pokémon, making quick friends with [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'' and with other Pokémon. He and Iris are shown to have a strong relationship such as in ''[[BW003|A Sandile Gusher of Change!]]'' where a {{p|Sandile}} had caught him in its jaws, Iris tried everything to get him out.
Though lacking superior battle skills, Axew makes up for it with a kind personality as mentioned by Cilan. If Iris feels sad, he will go off to collect fruit in order to cheer her up. Axew is also somewhat of a pacifist and often hides or panics when the other Pokémon who accompany him start to fight each other as seen ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]'', when he was seen running around in circles when {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, Scraggy and {{AP|Swadloon}} started fighting over food. Though he has been shown to have some childish traits, such as in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'', where he fought with {{AP|Pikachu}} when he thought Pikachu was the one who ate all the food.

Axew will often express concern for other Pokémon. In ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', he was grateful when an {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} stopped his apple from rolling down a hill and wanted to share some of it with her. When she left after being smothered by {{an|Bianca}}, he was desperate to find her again. However, this could be because Axew has a little crush on Emolga, as confirmed by {{an|Iris}} in the same episode.

Axew also seems to see Scraggy like a little brother, since ''[[BW017|Scraggy-Hatched to be Wild!]]'' when Iris told him he was Scraggy's big brother. Since then, Axew always had kept a close eye on Scraggy to keep him out of trouble, and the two have become training partners, and best friends, most likely due to the fact that they're the youngest. In ''[[BW055|Scraggy and the Demanding Gothita!]]'' he was horrified that he might never see him again if Scraggy was given to [[Katharine]], even having a nightmare about it.

Like its anime counterpart, this Axew knows {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Dragon Rage}} and is [[gender|male]]. It also, interestingly, always has {{a|Mold Breaker}} as its Ability. This event started on December 17th, 2010, and ended on January 11, 2011. This Egg was also distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from April 27 to May 31, 2011.

[[File:Fiore.png|thumb|240px|Fiore, labeled]]
'''Fiore''' (Japanese: '''フィオレ地方''' ''Fiore-chihō'') is the setting for the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} videogame. Its name is {{wp|Italian language|Italian}} for "flower". It may be somewhat close to the [[Sinnoh]] region, since it was stated in-game that Sinnoh was the closest region to send the {{p|Manaphy}} Egg during the Manaphy event.

==Geography==
Fiore is a location with mountainous terrain and four cities located in the cardinal directions of the map. Each city represents a season: Ringtown for spring, Fall City for fall or autumn, Summerland for summer, and Wintown for winter.

==History==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Locations==
====Cities/Towns====
* [[Fall City]]
* [[Ringtown]]
* [[Summerland]]
* [[Wintown]]

====Areas of interest====
* [[Krokka Tunnel]]
* [[Sekra Range]]
* [[East Road]]
* [[North Road]]
* [[Fiore Temple]]
* [[Jungle Relic]]
* [[Kisara Plains]]
* [[Lyra Forest]]
* [[Dusk Factory]]
* [[Olive Jungle]]
* [[Panula Cave]]
* [[Safra Sea]]
* [[Go-Rock Squad Base]]
* [[Waterworks]]

====Routes====
Fiore does not have traditional [[route]]s.

==League==
The relationship between humans and Pokémon is substantially different in Fiore than it is in the regions of the main games. In Fiore, there are no trainers that capture and battle. The people that have the most interaction with Pokémon are the Pokémon Rangers. Since the rangers enforce a strict rule of releasing Pokémon after using their help, Fiore does not host a form of Pokémon competition in the vein of the other regions' [[Pokémon League]]. However, they do have capture challenges that are open for Rangers to hone their skills.

==Culture==
[[Poké Ball]]s are not sold or used in the Fiore Region. People who own Pokémon are encouraged to keep them by their side, outside of Poké Balls at all times, much like [[Ash's Pikachu]].

==Trivia==
* While all the [[Eeveelution]]s prior to [[Generation IV]] can be found in Fiore, {{p|Eevee}} itself cannot be seen.
* [[Wintown]] is the only city or town without a Capture Challenge nearby.
* Fiore is also a place in the anime Fairy Tail

why is it under generation v? is there any offical source to this (even though we know it might be true) -[[User:Pokeant|Pokeant]] 16:37, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

We don't really know if it is Gen V, but the fact that it uses forms of a Gen V Pokemon as its mascot make if all but confirmed. The way it looks, at least for now, is that they decided to ditch the 3rd game idea for this Gen and instead do two full sequels to BW. If they say these are a new gen or we see completely new Pokemon then we can start talking about this being Gen VI, but as it stands I think we should just leave it be.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 16:41, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I suggest a paragraph be added to the article stating something like "There is no confirmation on whether these games are a [[third version]] or not." [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 20:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

The article doesn't even insinuate that, it says out right that they are second paired versions. 2 games can't be a 3rd version.[[User:ArchedThunder|ArchedThunder]] 22:43, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

:What he trying to mean is, most people think that these games are the '"double" 3rd versions, like Platinum, Emerald and Crystal. But if that's so, you mean these are just the continued part of original B&W? There will be a real "third" version? That's almost impossible. {{unsigned|Acellutor}}

:From sources, Kyurem has two new forms, each resemblin to Zekrom and/or Reshiram. So it would still be within the Tao trio. But 3 types is OP, and awkward considering the type advantages/disadvantages. I would say Kyurem would be Ice/Dragon but retaining the power of it's other form.

:It is already italicized, which is what is used for titles. When it is surrounded by italicized text, it doesn't need to become un-italicized. This is how everything else does it anyway.

== Two official artworks? ==

How come Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have two official artworks? I'm not saying it's a mistake or even a lie, you can easily check that it's true by watching the Flash intro animation of the Japanese website. But that's the issue here: why are there two different yet official artworks for both of Kyurem's new Formes? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:There's also two artworks for Reshiram and Zekrom (lit up and not lit up). They are apparently some "mode" (Formes with forms?). We don't really know much about them yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I have the same opinion. The boxart may be some kind of 'mode' as in 'burst mode'or something. The boxart of White Kyurem looks vaguely similar to the art of primal dialga. The pic aforementioned is present in the bulbapedia archive. Please give ur thoughts on this post.[[User:Auraguardian197|Auraguardian197]]

== Trivia? ==

Would it be relevant and/or noteworthy to add that these games mark the second time the main series Pokémon games have the number 2 in their names, with the first time being the name initially announced for the original Gold and Silver ('''{{tt|ポケットモンスター２金・銀|Poketto Monsutā 2: Kin Gin}}''' ''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver'')? Even though the 2 was eventually dropped for Gold and Silver, it was still an official yet temporary name. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:I'm totally for this. Something like: "These games are the first games in the main series to be released with a "2" in their name, though the Japanese versions of G/S were intended to have tis number in their name but this was dropped before release" ?? As long as there's a nod to the almost-Pkmn 2: G/S thing I think it's a great idea! [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 09:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

== Parameter on the Japanese website URL ==

The URL for the Japanese website does not need the '''?a001=msign''' parameter. Please remove it. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 22:25, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

== Second set of direct sequels? ==

Aren't Black 2 and White 2 the second set of direct sequels in the main series? Gold and Silver are direct sequels to Red and Green (likewise, HeartGold and SoulSilver are direct sequels to FireRed and LeafGreen). The only difference is that they're from separate generations, since for all we know, Black 2 and White 2 are Generation V games like Black and White. If so, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 22:31, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:Considering that it hasn't even really been confirmed that these are sequels, I'd say no. Wait until we know for sure at least. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 00:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

== Australian Release Date ==

In the infobox, it lists the Australian release as Spring 2012. At first this really confused me as I thought only Japan got it this Spring. Because of the different seasons in the Northern and Southern hemisphere, and because a lot of Bulbapedia's users come from the Northern Hemisphere, could we add a tooltip to make it {{tt|Spring 2012|Northern Hemisphere Fall/Autumn}}. I think this would help a lot of people who came to the site. [[User:MajesticRayquaza|''Majestic'']][[User talk:MajesticRayquaza|'''Rayquaza''']] 09:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
:I don't think so. The seasons will become irrelevant once we get an actual date, and the only people who should really be concerned with the release date are the people it applies to (i.e. Oceanians.) Plus it might seem unfair. If we put a note for the Northerners that South Spring = North Autumn, then we should do the same for Southerners that North Autumn = South Spring.

== Amazon release date ==

Not sure if this means anything but I just saw that Amazon (through the official Nintendo seller) has the two versions up for pre-order with a release date of December 31, 2012 (I'm not sure if that's their generic date for an unknown release or the actual date though). [[User:OnixPachirisu|OnixPachirisu]] 18:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

I don't think the article should say that Unova is engulfed in ice because it says in the Bulbanews article that it is unconfirmed whether that is actually part of the region or it is just there to cover up areas that haven't been revealed yet.

== Unova Ice unconfirmed. ==

(Yeah, I know somebody already posted something like this...)
I don't think we should say that Unova is engulfed in ice, unless that is specifically confirmed. Maybe the ice is just there to cover up the other changes of Unova just for now, and I think if that much of Unova was covered in ice, there would only be like, three gyms. I think we should remove the part saying that part of Unova is covered in ice, because that is just speculation from the art, we have no proof that this is confirmed. [[User:Zarthga|Zarthga]] 07:23, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:"I think if that much of Unova was covered in ice, there would only be like, three gyms." Castelia, Nimbasa, Driftveil, Mistralton and Opelucid aren't covered in ice. And there will be two new leaders, Shizui and Homika, totalizing seven citites with gyms that aren't covered in ice. Maybe the Icirrus gym will be still active, as it's an Ice-type gym... --[[User:PenblooeR|PenblooeR]] 15:50, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
