== M07 on Hungama ==

Hungama [https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1370323486332658&id=1113061562058853 announced] about the premiur of m07 on 22nd Jan 2017. Can you update the page with this? Also add the [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Deoxy_aur_Tori_ki_Story.png movie logo]. Also please add the info of m06 and m07 in that table in movies section. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 18:32, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
:Also add the name of the movie (and the previous one too) in Devnagari, ''Deoxy ओर तोरी की स्टोरी''. Weird why they spelled Deoxy instead of Deoxys. Thanks. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 16:31, 22 January 2017 (UTC)
::So it debuted on 22nd Jan. Again Japanese version, and opening credits were aired but not the ending. Also Disney XD India completed Indigo League arc on 24th January 2017 by airing EP080 and started Orange Islands arc on 25th Jan 2017 with EP081. Can you update the page with this? Also I don't think its really necessary but it would be better if you put the sentence in Indigo League para like ''from December 19, 2016 to December 29, 2016, reruns from Princess vs. Princess to It's Mr. Mimey Time aired; Misty Meets her Match aired before Snow Way Out! on December 30, 2017, skipping the banned Holiday Hi-Jynx.'' so to not cause confusion among the readers. Thanks! --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 10:00, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Added. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 07:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
::::The Hindi name of the 6th movie ''Jirachi का वंडर'' should also be added. Also, I wonder if saying "from this movie onwards" is correct, as the opening theme sequence was aired as it does not have a song and only has instrumental music. The other movies have opening songs, which were skipped. Thanks. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 08:22, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

== XY140 ending ==

Why is it considered an insert song? True, it starts during the episode, but the credits are shown when it is airing, so that makes it an ending song. The only problem why it is called a insert song would be because the usual ending sequence is not present and the episode continues, but in my opinion, this makes it similar to the ending song of the movies. Counterview? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
:Where the ending themes are [http://imgur.com/a/3AMLP labeled エンディングテーマ ''ending theme''], V is labeled as 挿入歌 ''insert song'', including on the [http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/program/detail/201610/22836_201610271855.html TV Tokyo website]. I'm fine with including it in the infobox of XY140 as the ending, but it's not an ending ''theme''. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 07:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
::Then maybe when should use a note for it explaining all this in the infobox too... (Also with the English themes) → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 07:44, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

== Yuji ==

Excuse me, but is there a reason why Yuji from Duel should be at '''Yuji (Duel)''' rather than just '''Yuji'''? (I believe it's the only English Yuji, and it has no makron!?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
::Since there's several pages to disambiguate, putting all of the possible referrals in the lead would be unwieldly. In addition, his Japanese name is ユージ ''Yūji'' just like the other ones. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:58, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:::I see. But couldn't we just refer to '''Yūji''' there? I'm trying to think user-centric, and I believe almost anyone searching "Yuji" would like to end up at the Duel character (which I believe is the same logic for why we direct people typing "Bulbasaur" to the species page).

== A very minor question ==

Hello Abcboy! Sorry to bug you for this is very unimportant question, but I noticed that you added the Korean name for [[Sinnoh Now]] in January last year. How did you find that the name was 신오지방 지금? And is this the name given from the DPPt games? I ask because the anime gives the name 지금은 신오지방. I know that other languages, like Spanish, have different names from the game and anime, but I didn't want to assume that 신오지방 지금 was the in-game name. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 07:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
:It's from the games. You can check the text dumps linked on my userpage if you need to double-check. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 07:57, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

== More info? ==

Hello! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40pmwyxdIa8 This] came up on the Pokémon Korea website, and it's also getting released as an [http://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=10042587 special album]. From the website, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of it being the anime opening song, but just wanted to ask if you had any more information about it. Also, there's a big question mark at the end of the video. Not sure if I've missed anything recently, but any idea what it is? --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 08:41, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
:The song doesn't match up with the [[Alola!!]] opening animation (and when songs like [[Victory]] and [[Pichumichu]] match up, it really should). Unless it gets a remix, I doubt it'll be used as an anime opening. No idea what the silhouette is.
:I think the song deserves a page regardless, so if you could create one, that'd be great. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 17:23, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

== Edit warring ==

Hey there. I have a favor to ask you. Can you please lock the Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime page for a week or two just so we can prevent edit warring? --[[User:Seabiscuit2020|Seabiscuit2020]] ([[User talk:Seabiscuit2020|talk]]) 17:10, 23 March 2017 (UTC)

== Re:Electric Terrain ==

Sorry for the late reply, but I made the edit because in [[SM019]], {{an|Sophocles}} mentions Tapu Koko's Ability being {{a|Electric Surge}}, hence why I figure it must've been the Ability activating at the start of the battle instead of the {{m|Electric Terrain}} move being used. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:50, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

== Italics or not? ==

Hello, I was wondering if we should have italics in the names section such as on [[Red (Adventures)]] or any other page or if we should do it like on [[Ruby (Adventures)]], which in my opinion looks better. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 17:40, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
:On sections like [[Potion#In other languages]], italics looks better to me than bold. I don't think the italic Pokémon nicknames are necessary; IMO, something like the following would suffice.

So Disney XD India continued airing episodes from EP106 from today 4th April 2017 after 1 month hiatus after EP102. Disney XD also aired the episodes in same order as Hungama aired, airing EP103 instead of Holiday-Hi Jynx, EP104 instead of EP090 and EP105 instead of EP099. They started airing Johto Journeys arc from today 18th April with EP117. Also in movie 7 stanza please add the Hindi name of the movie as {{tt|Deoxy aur Tori ki Story|Deoxys and the story of Tori}}.

== Two years between B2W2XY and Sun/Moon? ==

Hi there! I'm trying to track down citations for the core series timeline so they can be centralized in [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Game timeline|one place]].

==Confession==
I want to make a sincere confession about my recent edits I made from a bit last year to early this year. I never should've reverted my edits when they were reverted, and I also want to apologize for any other trouble I caused on this wiki. I won't make any excuses. I'm just really sorry. I took a long break to try to get used to wikis like this, but now I feel maybe its best that I not edit on this wiki until I feel I am fully qualified for it. I sincerely hope I didn't cause any trouble, and if I did, I am very sorry for it. I didn't want to commit any blockable offenses, so maybe I should not bother editing here until I am fully ready to do so. In addition to my confession, I also have a video where I interviewed Veronica Taylor the original voice of Ash and asked her something about the banned seizure episode which I think could be important, but I'd rather not make any edits on that myself, instead, I'd like to have the admins ad the info for me if that's ok if I send a link to the video once I upload it.

== Korean names ==

Hi Abcboy! I noticed that you added the Korean names for Pokémon Red, Green and Blue. Just curious, where did you get these names from? Were these names used officially from some other source? Because these games were not released in Korea, not even as a virtual console (possibly due to gambling?). On a side note, Pokémon Silver and Gold are being released as virtual consoles in Korea despite having working slot machines in the original Korean version. Do you think this is something that should be looked out for in the virtual console release?--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 10:00, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
:IIRC Red, Green, and Blue were mentioned in one of the PGL tournaments or on the GRB ratings. The slot machines should definitely be checked, though I wouldn't be surprised if the GRB rating when revealed makes it obvious. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 15:11, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

I have been using that section of the site a little to see if there are articles I can help update. However, I notice the three articles currently listed as ''Pages Needing Improvements'' have all been updated at some point to be improved enough to either meet site standards or no longer be considered stubs. I saw the page has not been updated since January of this year as well. Would it be possible to update the Editor's Hub main page in the near future? Also, would it be possible to update ''Needed Articles'' and ''Pages Needing Improvement'' sections to include 5 articles needed or updated rather than 3? Asking as it seems there is a lot of blank space left below them on either Chrome or Firefox when looking at that page on either browser.

:Hey! I checked with Abcboy on this subject as I've also noticed some other bugs. Having inquired about those in the recently with higher staff, I learned that they may have started with the transition to the https setting on our Web pages. A victim of this that comes to my mind is e-mail alerts; I have not been receiving these for over a month now, and my watchlist, upon checking today, has multiple pages that I should have been notified for daily. So my suspicion is that the category problems may be yet another victim of the https transition. It will be one of the things we look into if we didn't know already.

== Some random questions ==

Hi abcboy! I have a few random questions that have been bugging me for a while. These really aren't priority so feel free to answer them when you get the time!

1) Is there a way to search the text within a page with the search bar? For example, if I want to search how the '''<nowiki>{{m| }}</nowiki>''' template was used on different pages, I can't make that search using the search bar. It'll search for '''m''' instead.

2) Is there a reason why the Pokémon sprites have large white spaces around them? I presume this was because this was how they were extracted from the game data, and also makes all sprite boxes consistent with tall or wide Pokémon that can take up the whole box. However why can't we shrink the white space around them to make it more compact? (even the tall/wide sprites don't take up the whole space). It'll become a pain when a new generation comes in. I know there are templates floating around with the 'show'/'hide' option, but even these will benefit with smaller sprites.

3) If a page is wanted (they have red link), can an average user make the page without admin approval? (I'm talking about more obscure pages like 'Expedition Gadget' rather than a common 'new episode' page). If so, if I was to start the page on my userpage first (to polish it), will I need to get admin approval to mainspace it even though it was a wanted page?

Thanks!--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 11:01, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
:1) You can use "insource:" to search the wikitext. For example, [[Special:Search/insource:"Pokémon Infobox"]] or a regex like [[Special:Search/insource:/Image:/]]

:2) They are the dimensions they are for the same reasons as you said: to be consistent with the internal sizes.

:3) If the page you're creating is complete and clearly notable then feel free to create it in the mainspace. It'd be best if you notified an admin so the page can be moved w/o leaving a redirect. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:29, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

== Couple of small edit requests ==

Hey there! First of all, I have to express my appreciation that you're updating protected USUM pages so speedily. Thank you!

I just noticed a couple of little things that slipped through the cracks. On [[Ultra Beast]], you protected the page but didn't remove the protection request template. And on {{p|Necrozma}}, there's a typo in the paragraph about forms: it refers to "becoming ''its'' Dusk Mane Necrozma" and "becoming ''its'' Dawn Wings Necrozma", a relic of when the phrasing was "becoming its X form". Now that the forms don't have the word "form" after them, "its" shouldn't be necessary. Thanks in advance for addressing these!

== Updates to Template:Langlist(/h) ==

I'm not sure whether to ask here or the template talk itself. But anyway, is this update ready to utilize? For Chinese romanization, is it Hanyu Pinyin (Mandarin/Mainland China and Taiwan) or Yale (Cantonese/Hong Kong) first? And, is Brazilian Portuguese really needed, they are not available as languages in the games. This table is too long to be fully viewable in moblies, or are priorities given to desktop users?

Lastly, for the In other languages section for "List of ... form differences", is the sprites for the Pokémon necessary? (to make the table's width smaller) Thanks. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 20:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

(It) only makes us sadder
(We) suddenly remember there's a person who will listen,
No matter (if it's/whether it's) sadness or happiness they'll immediately be there

Everyone has friends
But (I only have/has only) one best friend [is the subject "everyone" or "I]
Always by my side whenever I need them
Don't mind (whether/if) the distance is near or far
Everyone has friends
But (I only have/has only) one best friend

== Turn of phrase: "the natives" ==

Dear Abcboy,

I recently had made changes to the biology section of the Raichu page, though these were reverted and my concerns dismissed as "thinking too negatively" and "politicising" an issue by both GrammarFreak01 and ForceFire. The change I made was in regards to the turn of phrase "the natives" being used, I adjusted it to "people" and later changed the entire sentence to make it more inclusive. I acted in what I believed were the best interests, that being to maintain neutral and appropriate terminology. The phrase "the natives" is deemed taboo in philosophy and other social sciences because it is enshrouded in the development discourse, the assumption that one demographic is of lesser value then another. Development discourse does not require intent, but ignoring the issue is a case of collaboration with those who do have intent. Admittedly, the article in question, and I have seen the term used in similar contexts in other articles, likely did not intend to offend anyone, though the turn of phrase may very well be harmful. It is important to note that the turn of phrase in question was not used in any supporting materials made to create the biology section, and was deliberately added by a user who may not have thought much of the word and required a new synonym. The term 'native' still has a place in describing a local area or an animal, though should not be used to describe a persons cultural heritage and background. I would like to see such terms abandoned as there are more appropriate terms that are inclusive, a key principle of the Bulbapedia site, such as local, resident and people. While no one would like to think the worst of humanity or themselves, but issues like this should not be ignored or dismissed as overcomplicating matters. For some individuals, such terms have a significant impact and reflect historic racial biases. Bulbapedia has a duty of care to ensure its content is inclusive and reflective of its status as a truly global platform. I have attempted to maintain a level head throughout this debate, but feel it has a larger weight than just the Raichu article. Hope to hear shortly. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:32, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

:Since you insist on doing this, {{U|PardescanSlowbro}}, I'll pitch in as well. I will just repeat what I told {{U|Force Fire}}, to paint a clearer picture:

:PardescanSlowbro is [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Raichu_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2813914&oldid=2812285 concerned] about using the word "native" to describe the residents of [[Alola]] in the {{p|Raichu}} article, due to its connection to indigenous peoples who have been plagued with stereotypes and also its purported implicit nature as a development discourse, thus making it potentially offensive to some people. I did not see anything wrong with the word's usage, however, since it can alternatively be used as a synonym for "resident" or "citizen", as I [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APardescanSlowbro&type=revision&diff=2813930&oldid=2813886 pointed out to him]. He's still concerned and has [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PardescanSlowbro&diff=next&oldid=2813930 pointed out] that official literature no longer uses the word, seemingly making it taboo, even though I have still heard it being used in the context I just described.

:{{U|Abcboy}}, do you think it is appropriate to use "native" in any shape or form here? I'm not aware of any other articles here that use the word. I do acknowledge the potential issue of indigenous peoples being offended, but I don't think anyone will be offended given the word's context in the Raichu article. What do you think?

The '''Rainbow Wing''' (Japanese: '''にじいろのはね''' ''Rainbow Feather'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is a [[legendary artifact]] that is associated with {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

==In the core series games==
In Pokémon Gold and Pokémon HeartGold, after defeating [[Team Rocket]] and liberating the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], the [[Radio Director]] gives the player a Rainbow Wing.

In Pokémon Silver and Pokémon SoulSilver, an old man in [[Pewter City]] near the {{rt|3|Kanto}} entrance will give the player a Rainbow Wing.

In Pokémon Crystal, after catching all three [[Legendary beasts]] and beating the [[Johto League]], the {{tc|Sage}}s at [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] will give the player a Rainbow Wing.

===Effect===
With the Rainbow Wing, the player can encounter {{p|Ho-Oh}} at the top of [[Bell Tower]] (known as Tin Tower in [[Generation II]]).

[[File:Rainbow Wing M20.png|thumb|250px|A Rainbow Wing in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Rainbow Wing PG.png|thumb|left|220px|A Rainbow Wing in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
===In the main series===
A Rainbow Wing played a major role in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. Set in a timeline different from the main series, it was found by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} when he first saw {{an|Ho-Oh}}. During the movie, Ash learned that Ho-Oh had given him the Rainbow Wing as a recognition of having chosen him to be the "Rainbow Hero", and decided to travel to [[Mount Tensei]] to meet and {{pkmn|battle}} Ho-Oh. When [[Cross]], wanting to meet Ho-Oh himself, stole the Rainbow Wing from Ash and tried to use it to summon Ho-Oh, it became corrupted by his selfish desires, causing {{OBP|Marshadow|M20}} to send a group of [[wild Pokémon]] on a rampage. When Ash was killed by the rampaging Pokémon, the Rainbow Wing crumbled away. However, once Ash was revived, the Rainbow Wing was also reformed, allowing Ash to use it to summon and battle Ho-Oh.

===In Pokémon Generations===
A Rainbow Wing made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PG06|The Reawakening]]'', where it was seen falling to the ground behind [[Eusine]] at the [[Burned Tower]] after his brief encounter with {{p|Suicune}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Rainbow Wing Silver Wing Adventures.png|thumb|160px|The Silver and Rainbow Wings in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Green}} stole a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing from the [[Masked Man]] when she and {{adv|Silver}} escaped from him. She later hid them on {{adv|Yellow}}'s straw hat. In the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the artifacts were used to free {{adv|Gold}} from the gap of time inside the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] where the Masked Man had trapped him in.

The Masked Man also used a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing directly collected from their respective Legendary Pokémon in order to create a [[GS Ball]]. Only a capture net created from these two feathers could contain {{adv|Celebi}} and allow its holder to travel through time without suffering its negative side effects.

===In the movie adaptations===
A Rainbow Wing appeared in [[ICYR1]].

Why is it considered an insert song? True, it starts during the episode, but the credits are shown when it is airing, so that makes it an ending song. The only problem why it is called a insert song would be because the usual ending sequence is not present and the episode continues, but in my opinion, this makes it similar to the ending song of the movies. Counterview? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:57, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
:Where the ending themes are [http://imgur.com/a/3AMLP labeled エンディングテーマ ''ending theme''], V is labeled as 挿入歌 ''insert song'', including on the [http://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/program/detail/201610/22836_201610271855.html TV Tokyo website]. I'm fine with including it in the infobox of XY140 as the ending, but it's not an ending ''theme''. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 07:29, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

== Yuji ==

Excuse me, but is there a reason why Yuji from Duel should be at '''Yuji (Duel)''' rather than just '''Yuji'''? (I believe it's the only English Yuji, and it has no makron!?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:24, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
::Since there's several pages to disambiguate, putting all of the possible referrals in the lead would be unwieldly. In addition, his Japanese name is ユージ ''Yūji'' just like the other ones. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:58, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:::I see. But couldn't we just refer to '''Yūji''' there? I'm trying to think user-centric, and I believe almost anyone searching "Yuji" would like to end up at the Duel character (which I believe is the same logic for why we direct people typing "Bulbasaur" to the species page).

== A very minor question ==

Hello Abcboy! Sorry to bug you for this is very unimportant question, but I noticed that you added the Korean name for [[Sinnoh Now]] in January last year. How did you find that the name was 신오지방 지금? And is this the name given from the DPPt games? I ask because the anime gives the name 지금은 신오지방. I know that other languages, like Spanish, have different names from the game and anime, but I didn't want to assume that 신오지방 지금 was the in-game name. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 07:14, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
:It's from the games. You can check the text dumps linked on my userpage if you need to double-check. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 07:57, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

== More info? ==

Hello! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40pmwyxdIa8 This] came up on the Pokémon Korea website, and it's also getting released as an [http://www.melon.com/album/detail.htm?albumId=10042587 special album]. From the website, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of it being the anime opening song, but just wanted to ask if you had any more information about it. Also, there's a big question mark at the end of the video. Not sure if I've missed anything recently, but any idea what it is? --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 08:41, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
:The song doesn't match up with the [[Alola!!]] opening animation (and when songs like [[Victory]] and [[Pichumichu]] match up, it really should). Unless it gets a remix, I doubt it'll be used as an anime opening. No idea what the silhouette is.

== Re:Electric Terrain ==

Sorry for the late reply, but I made the edit because in [[SM019]], {{an|Sophocles}} mentions Tapu Koko's Ability being {{a|Electric Surge}}, hence why I figure it must've been the Ability activating at the start of the battle instead of the {{m|Electric Terrain}} move being used. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:50, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

I took a long break to try to get used to wikis like this, but now I feel maybe its best that I not edit on this wiki until I feel I am fully qualified for it. I sincerely hope I didn't cause any trouble, and if I did, I am very sorry for it. I didn't want to commit any blockable offenses, so maybe I should not bother editing here until I am fully ready to do so. In addition to my confession, I also have a video where I interviewed Veronica Taylor the original voice of Ash and asked her something about the banned seizure episode which I think could be important, but I'd rather not make any edits on that myself, instead, I'd like to have the admins ad the info for me if that's ok if I send a link to the video once I upload it.

Hi Abcboy! I noticed that you added the Korean names for Pokémon Red, Green and Blue. Just curious, where did you get these names from? Were these names used officially from some other source?

== Some random questions ==

Hi abcboy! I have a few random questions that have been bugging me for a while. These really aren't priority so feel free to answer them when you get the time!

1) Is there a way to search the text within a page with the search bar? For example, if I want to search how the '''<nowiki>{{m| }}</nowiki>''' template was used on different pages, I can't make that search using the search bar. It'll search for '''m''' instead.

2) Is there a reason why the Pokémon sprites have large white spaces around them? I presume this was because this was how they were extracted from the game data, and also makes all sprite boxes consistent with tall or wide Pokémon that can take up the whole box. However why can't we shrink the white space around them to make it more compact? (even the tall/wide sprites don't take up the whole space). It'll become a pain when a new generation comes in. I know there are templates floating around with the 'show'/'hide' option, but even these will benefit with smaller sprites.

3) If a page is wanted (they have red link), can an average user make the page without admin approval? (I'm talking about more obscure pages like 'Expedition Gadget' rather than a common 'new episode' page). If so, if I was to start the page on my userpage first (to polish it), will I need to get admin approval to mainspace it even though it was a wanted page?

Thanks!--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 11:01, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
:1) You can use "insource:" to search the wikitext. For example, [[Special:Search/insource:"Pokémon Infobox"]] or a regex like [[Special:Search/insource:/Image:/]]

:2) They are the dimensions they are for the same reasons as you said: to be consistent with the internal sizes.

:3) If the page you're creating is complete and clearly notable then feel free to create it in the mainspace. It'd be best if you notified an admin so the page can be moved w/o leaving a redirect. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 12:29, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

== Couple of small edit requests ==

Hey there! First of all, I have to express my appreciation that you're updating protected USUM pages so speedily. Thank you!

I just noticed a couple of little things that slipped through the cracks. On [[Ultra Beast]], you protected the page but didn't remove the protection request template. And on {{p|Necrozma}}, there's a typo in the paragraph about forms: it refers to "becoming ''its'' Dusk Mane Necrozma" and "becoming ''its'' Dawn Wings Necrozma", a relic of when the phrasing was "becoming its X form". Now that the forms don't have the word "form" after them, "its" shouldn't be necessary. Thanks in advance for addressing these!

== Updates to Template:Langlist(/h) ==

I'm not sure whether to ask here or the template talk itself. But anyway, is this update ready to utilize? For Chinese romanization, is it Hanyu Pinyin (Mandarin/Mainland China and Taiwan) or Yale (Cantonese/Hong Kong) first? And, is Brazilian Portuguese really needed, they are not available as languages in the games. This table is too long to be fully viewable in moblies, or are priorities given to desktop users?

Lastly, for the In other languages section for "List of ... form differences", is the sprites for the Pokémon necessary? (to make the table's width smaller) Thanks. — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 20:09, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

Every moment passes (by) like nothing
(It) only makes us sadder
(We) suddenly remember there's a person who will listen,
No matter (if it's/whether it's) sadness or happiness they'll immediately be there

Everyone has friends
But (I only have/has only) one best friend [is the subject "everyone" or "I]
Always by my side whenever I need them
Don't mind (whether/if) the distance is near or far
Everyone has friends
But (I only have/has only) one best friend

== Turn of phrase: "the natives" ==

Dear Abcboy,

I recently had made changes to the biology section of the Raichu page, though these were reverted and my concerns dismissed as "thinking too negatively" and "politicising" an issue by both GrammarFreak01 and ForceFire. The change I made was in regards to the turn of phrase "the natives" being used, I adjusted it to "people" and later changed the entire sentence to make it more inclusive. I acted in what I believed were the best interests, that being to maintain neutral and appropriate terminology. The phrase "the natives" is deemed taboo in philosophy and other social sciences because it is enshrouded in the development discourse, the assumption that one demographic is of lesser value then another. Development discourse does not require intent, but ignoring the issue is a case of collaboration with those who do have intent. Admittedly, the article in question, and I have seen the term used in similar contexts in other articles, likely did not intend to offend anyone, though the turn of phrase may very well be harmful. It is important to note that the turn of phrase in question was not used in any supporting materials made to create the biology section, and was deliberately added by a user who may not have thought much of the word and required a new synonym. The term 'native' still has a place in describing a local area or an animal, though should not be used to describe a persons cultural heritage and background. I would like to see such terms abandoned as there are more appropriate terms that are inclusive, a key principle of the Bulbapedia site, such as local, resident and people. While no one would like to think the worst of humanity or themselves, but issues like this should not be ignored or dismissed as overcomplicating matters. For some individuals, such terms have a significant impact and reflect historic racial biases. Bulbapedia has a duty of care to ensure its content is inclusive and reflective of its status as a truly global platform. I have attempted to maintain a level head throughout this debate, but feel it has a larger weight than just the Raichu article. Hope to hear shortly. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:32, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

:Since you insist on doing this, {{U|PardescanSlowbro}}, I'll pitch in as well. I will just repeat what I told {{U|Force Fire}}, to paint a clearer picture:

:PardescanSlowbro is [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Raichu_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2813914&oldid=2812285 concerned] about using the word "native" to describe the residents of [[Alola]] in the {{p|Raichu}} article, due to its connection to indigenous peoples who have been plagued with stereotypes and also its purported implicit nature as a development discourse, thus making it potentially offensive to some people. I did not see anything wrong with the word's usage, however, since it can alternatively be used as a synonym for "resident" or "citizen", as I [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APardescanSlowbro&type=revision&diff=2813930&oldid=2813886 pointed out to him]. He's still concerned and has [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PardescanSlowbro&diff=next&oldid=2813930 pointed out] that official literature no longer uses the word, seemingly making it taboo, even though I have still heard it being used in the context I just described.

:{{U|Abcboy}}, do you think it is appropriate to use "native" in any shape or form here? I'm not aware of any other articles here that use the word. I do acknowledge the potential issue of indigenous peoples being offended, but I don't think anyone will be offended given the word's context in the Raichu article. What do you think? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 07:41, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

::{{u|Kogoro}} has decided that it would be best to use "the people of Alola" in that particular article. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:01, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

::::The staff have decided privately to use "the people of Alola" in this particular instance because the original source doesn't use the term "natives" and "the people of Alola" carries the same intentions as said source does. Additionally, the source does not draw any particular distinction between original Alolan residents vs. later immigrants to Alola. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 19:30, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

:::::But like I said, natives can also mean inhabitants of a given area ''in general''. In other words, a synonym of "people".

== "Not everything is a pun" ==

...I never said everything is, but SM is known for them and "ワル" is not a Japanese word, but "warui" (悪い) is! And since it's spelled as "ワル" and "Warubiaru" (ワルビアル) is in the episode it makes sense it's a pun. I have no idea what your problem is and I don't care, but I've already explained why it's a pun. "ワル" isn't used as "bad" in katakana, but words are used in different characters when they're a joke. Like the episode with Dhelmise with "Ikari" (anger) being used as "いかり" as "anchor" but the same spelling "Ikari" also can be used to mean "怒り" (anger). [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 19:31, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
:Please respond and change it back because it's not spelled the right way, meaning it is a pun. I don't care what your problem is, but not correctly addressing a pun in a title that clearly has one just makes Bulbapedia look stupid. I've been obvious why it's a pun. Why can episode titles like SM071, SM065, and SM040 be acknowledged but not this? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:54, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
::Just because "waru" is written in katakana, doesn't mean it no longer means "悪" or has a different meaning. "ワル" is still "悪", it's not some nonsensical word. And yes, "悪" can be used by itself. As for the title, "waru" could also be referring to Nanu, considering his attire and the fact the title includes "oyaji" (since it's "...waru oyaji wa...").
::As for the other episodes, they're fine. Ikari can mean either Anchor and Anger, like you said, so that's a pun. "Mairimasu" ''is'' pure nonsense and could only be a pun. "Pan-paka-pan" is a trumpet fanfare with just happens to include the word "pan", and the episode was about bread.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 15:20, 13 May 2018 (UTC)
:::The idea that not translating a pun is bad needs to be addressed.

== Surge/Terrain confusion ==

There's confusion going on in the anime whether the [[Tapu]] are activating their signature abilities or using the Terrain moves. This issue has been resolved with {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Koko}}, but people are still mixing up {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Lele}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Tapu Bulu}}'s Abilities with their Terrain moves. When Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu activated their Abilities {{a|Psychic Surge}} and {{a|Grassy Surge}} respectively, users are assuming that they are using the attacks {{m|Psychic Terrain}} and {{m|Grassy Terrain}} instead. That is not the case. In ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]'' and [[SM075]], when Tapu Lele and Tapu Bulu enter battle with Rockruff and {{AP|Lycanroc}} respectively, their Surge Abilities go off at the start of their battles. This happened with Tapu Koko as well when it battled {{AP|Pikachu}} in ''[[SM002|The Guardian's Challenge!]]'' and ''[[SM019|A Guardian Rematch!]]''. The Terrain moves can go off during any point of the battle, however the Surge Abilities can only activate when the Pokémon enter the field. Another point to show that it's their abilities activating in those episodes and not their attacks is in ''[[SM052|Revealing the Stuff of Legend!]]'' where all four Tapu used the four Terrain moves to show {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the gang}} [[Nebby#In_the_anime|Nebby]]'s backstory. Even the anime makes mistakes as shown in SM075 where [[Acerola]] and {{Rotom}} misidentify Tapu Bulu's Grassy Surge as Grassy Terrain. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 21:32, 18 May 2018 (UTC)

Is it an error? We don't know. But for now, it is not an error unless they contradict themselves and call it Grassy Surge later on. At the end of the day, the is no confusion. Assuming moves is something you shouldn't be doing.

== Requests ==

If you would be so kind, could you please hear me out and consider doing a couple things I can't do (at least without permission, in some cases):
* Template {{template|Trainerentry}} has several handy redirects for Trainer classes that have changed their names over the years, such as "Cooltrainer" to "Ace Trainer" and "Rocket" to "Team Rocket Grunt". However, there are several Trainer class name changes that have either been missed or happened after the template was last edited, like "Rocket Grunt"{{tt|*|From Generation II}} to "Team Rocket Grunt", "Pokéfan" to "Poké Fan", "Swimmer ♂/♀" to "Swimmer", and "Clerk ♂/♀" to "Office Worker". There may be others than these, but anyway, my point is, could you please add the missing redirects to the template in the same way as the already existing redirects?
* Back in January, I suggested that the [[Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense]] page should be split into separate SM and USUM Title Defense pages. I've already got the USUM section ready right [[User:FinnishPokéFan92/Pokémon League (Alola)/Title Defense/Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|here]] under my own userspace in case the idea gets approved. Do you think the page should be split?
* Ummm... I recall having a third request, but it doesn't come to my mind right now. I'll come back if I can remember it.

:::Thank you for hearing me out. And indeed, I've discovered a few more redirect links that should be fixed: "Officer" and "Policeman" to "Police Officer", "Interviewer" to "Interviewers", "Socialite" to "Madame", and "School Kid" to "Schoolkid". Also, a couple of other things related to this subject:
::::In Generation II, the "Swimmer" class was classified as "Swimmer♂/♀", as in without a space, while in Generation VI, it's "Swimmer ♂/♀", as in ''with'' a space. The latter redirect is yet to be fixed.
::::In Generation II, the Trainer class that would later be known as "Schoolkid" was called "Schoolboy", hence why "Schoolboy" redirects to "Schoolkid" (or rather "School Kid", a redirect link). And then, in Generation VI, we were introduced to the separate "Schoolboy" Trainer class. As such, the Schoolboy links from Generation VI now lead to an incorrect article (similar to the "Medium" link from [[Saffron Gym]]'s page, actually, due to the Channeler class's renaming in Stadium, but that's a much more minor subject). I know this may be an impossible or at least a difficult problem to solve properly, but I decided to bring it up nevertheless, just in case.
:::The request I forgot about yesterday is actually a pretty old one: back in 2013, I made a suggestion to change the {{template|Gym Leaders of Unova}} to better separate the BW and B2W2 Gym Leaders from each other, but my edit (which you can see [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Template:Gym_Leaders_of_Unova&oldid=1865505 here]) was undone, because I hadn't talked about it beforehand. Since then, I've forgotten, remembered, and re-forgotten this multiple times, but now I've finally managed to make myself bring this long-forgotten topic up again. Could the template be edited in this or at least in a similar kind of way, or do you feel it's good enough as it is?
:::Also, I've also come up with a couple new things I'd want to propose since yesterday: could "Tide Song Hotel" and "Kantonian Gym" receive their own articles? I've already asked people's opinions about these ideas on [[Heahea City]] and [[Malie City]]'s talk pages, and at least the Tide Song Hotel split seems to have gotten some support already. Could you take these splits into consideration as well? Thank you.

:::::I think the Unova Gym Leader Template is fine the way it is.

::::::::And finally, something a bit different, but still involving the same template. A big number of Fighting-type Trainers in FireRed and LeafGreen have their Pokémon holding Black Belts.

== Force preview question ==

I've heard about the force preview group, where you have to preview your edits before publishing them.

== "Pokémon seen" lists for movie locations ==

I wasn't too sure who to ask about this, though I have noticed that some movie-based locations have got the "Pokémon seen" lists and others don't. What is the requirement for these types of pages?. E.g. The Lake of Life has an incomplete list whilst Forina and the Tree of Beginning do not have any list, instead the Pokémon are just listed in the description section.

Also who is the authority on uploading images to the archives? I have a few images in mind that are needed to complete other pages like the Pokémon mate page.

:Locations where Pokémon actually live there have the Pokémon list. Though I'm not too sure if it's needed, as most are just wild Pokémon. Maybe if they play a large role in the area, such as the titans in Tree of Beginning, then they can be listed. Otherwise, it's unnecessary. As for the archives, you have to create an account at the archives and wait to be autoconfirmed there (the requirements are the same as it is on the wiki).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:43, 29 May 2018 (UTC)

Since then, the user has made edits to a variety of articles, and I've commonly had to edit them to rectify errors that he made. For example, [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP045&type=revision&diff=2809520&oldid=2806418 he very recently edited] the plot summary of [[EP045]] and [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=EP045&diff=next&oldid=2809520 this] was what I did to improve it (note that I also did some unrelated changes at the same time).

== Harassment Procedure ==

Dear ForceFire,

I have felt personally vindicated and harassed by the user GrammarFreak01 on a continuous basis. I have pleaded to be left alone by the user and made them clearly aware of my feelings on their conduct towards myself. I was never under the assumption that any of my edits were to be untouched, though found the user in question deliberately followed and made, in some cases minor and pointless changes to over 40 pages (Episode 1 to 46 and some associated anime pages) directly after I did over recent days. The pages in question, at least the plot sections required some detail corrections but until my additions had not been looked at for several years. I had earlier requested significant action be taken against the user on Tiddlywinks page after an earlier spate of unexplained deletions to additions which were quickly reinstated by Tiddlywinks. Nothing came of this request on Tiddlywinks page, and the behaviour has persisted and worsened into vitriol that centres on GrammarFreak01's belief I referred to them as racist, though nothing of the sorts has occurred. I can no longer handle the barrage of blatancy and continuous harassment written on my discussion page by GrammarFreak01, and wish for those actions to end. At all times I have maintained my distance, and have thanked the user for their efforts when they have worked in collaboration with myself. Though their commentary and vicious attacks on my supposed sensitivities and linguistics must end. I have let things slide, despite my discontent, as to avoid further escalation. The user has been told to maintain their distance and respect previously written advices to improve their conduct, though such warnings remain unheeded and their pattern of behaviour towards me continues to intensify. I am completely naïve when it comes to Bulbapedia's bullying procedures, though require strong action be taken to ensure the harassment, belittlement and bullying that I have been exposed to by user GrammarFreak01 does not ever repeat.

I look forward to your reply, though will maintain my reserve and distance nonetheless,

At the very least the user in question should have been told to remain at a distance, though has immediately gone on the attack again; though of course I am making everything up and overreacting as you pointed out.

== Quick query==
This is present in the trivia section on the Slowbro page:

*Slowbro's Pokédex entries state that if the Shellder is removed, it will revert to its Slowpoke form.
**This is the only mentioning of a Pokémon possibly devolving anywhere in the Pokémon games, aside from a card in the game versions of the TCG.

The first part is fine, the second point is incorrect as Exeggutor can also revert. Should the second point be deleted entirely as it both untrue and not unique or altered to include a connection with Exeggutor

e.g Slowbro and Exeggutor are the only recorded cases of Pokémon capable of devolution [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 12:43, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

== Poké Problem characters list ==

OK, so my recent edit of [[SM080]] was taken down by you on the basis that, since the Pokémon I put on the appearance list appeared exclusively in the episode's Poké Problem, it doesn't deserve a mention (since Poké Problems are part of the episode apparently). I've also noticed that some edits on [[SM079]] also got erased on the same reason. Yet previous episodes' character lists feature characters that only appeared in the episodes' Poké Problem segments (for example Brock & Misty's siblings in [[SM042]]'s case and Harper and Sarah for [[SM071]]). As such, I have to wonder why its sometimes okay for characters and Pokémon that appeared exclusively in the Poké Problem of an episode to be mentioned on the character lists of said episode, but other times it's not OK? [[User:Pulsaro23|Pulsaro23]] ([[User talk:Pulsaro23|talk]]) 17:03, 29 June 2018 (UTC)
:Then those need to removed from their episodes and any other episodes that list PokéProblem appearances needs to be fixed. PokéProblem is a segment similar to Who's That Pokémon, it is not part of the actual episode.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:57, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
::While I'll agree that the Poké Problem and Who's that Pokémon segments share a similarity (the fact that they are tied to a situation/Pokémon from the episode), they are also very different. By that I mean that, while the WtP segment doesn't have any impact on the overall story of the episode, the bonus scenes shown after the Poké Problem segments expand upon the story of the episode (personally, I'd say they're very similar to the after-credits scenes form the Marvel & DC movies). For example, the Poké Problem segments for SM022 and SM057 feature scenes that resolve the episodes' ending cliffhangers, while others, like the ones for SM042 and SM030, flesh out more of the characters' personality and traits, as well as showing their relationships with other characters. As such, I'd say that, while Poké Problem segments are really part of the main episode, they still have some degree of importance, since the scenes shown at the end of those segments expand upon the main theme/story/characters of the episode (and as such, they should, as you say, "count"). Plus, in the case of the XY series, characters that appeared exclusively in its Poké TV segments were mentioned on the appearance list for its episodes (e.g. XY096, XY099, XY106 etc.). So why should the Poké TV segments receive special treatment and the Poké Problem ones not? [[User:Pulsaro23|Pulsaro23]] ([[User talk:Pulsaro23|talk]]) 14:37, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

== Usage of the word "native" ==

{{user|PardescanSlowbro}} is [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Raichu_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&type=revision&diff=2813914&oldid=2812285 concerned] about using the word "native" to describe the residents of [[Alola]] in the {{p|Raichu}} article, due to its connection to indigenous peoples who have been plagued with stereotypes and also its purported implicit nature as a development discourse, thus making it potentially offensive to some people. I did not see anything wrong with the word's usage, however, since it can alternatively be used as a synonym for "resident" or "citizen", as I [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3APardescanSlowbro&type=revision&diff=2813930&oldid=2813886 pointed out to him]. He's still concerned and has [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PardescanSlowbro&diff=next&oldid=2813930 pointed out] that official literature no longer uses the word, seemingly making it taboo, even though I have still heard it being used in the context I just described.

Do you think it is appropriate to use "native" in any shape or form here? I'm not aware of any other articles here that use the word. I do acknowledge the potential issue of indigenous peoples being offended, but I don't think anyone will be offended given the word's context in the Raichu article. What do you think? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 06:12, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

:: You failed to acknowledge my concerns, and reverted my re-edit after GrammarFreak01 again deleted it. The latest addition aided the sentence in making it more concise, and as stated, the phrase 'the natives' is not used by the Pokémon Company in any of it literature, and probably for good measure. The term 'native' to mean local makes sense though should only be applied to describe an area or plant such as on the Vileplume page under the biology section.

:::It's very clear you changed the sentence because of your dislike of the word "native", whether it was a good change or not. You made the change because there was a word you didn't like. That's why it got reverted. There's is nothing wrong with using the word. The Pokémon Company not using it doesn't mean we can't use the word. You're thinking too much into the negative connotation of the word.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:00, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
:::: Negative connotations is your justification? I saw the term and looked at it as an opportunity to make a positive change in line with one of Bulbapedia's major aims, inclusivity. Allowing the phrase 'the natives' is an issue as it is loaded language and may be used on other pages in much the same way. But correcting the term to something more global and neutral has become the issue, leaving aside the issues associated with using this turn of phrase in the first place, even though the original editor of course had no intention of being racist or degrading to particular demographics. By actually allowing this term to pass through with your acceptance, you are also condoning the use of this term in much the same way across potentially other articles and it may enter people's own thoughts on people of different backgrounds. Inclusivity was my motivation because of the so-called negative and very true reality for many individuals on this planet, that terms like this are harmful. I cannot imagine the editor's guide has any detail on this specific turn of phrase, though it would diffidently be designed to uphold inclusivity of all peoples.[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 06:23, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

You're looking to much into it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:57, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
::::::I'm afraid you are wrong when it comes to the development discourse, it is an issue incidental or not.

:::::::When used correctly, "native" can also be "global and neutral". The only way it can be considered "loaded language" is if the person writing it in question ''makes'' it loaded language. I understand the history behind the word, and I also understand that the current political climate makes usage of certain words even more dangerous, but if the word has alternate meanings that are more acceptable, then I don't see why we must avoid using it, no matter how incidental the racism. If you have a problem with it, take it up with Merriam-Webster, not the admins here. If someone else does have a problem with it, we'll talk it out, see where it goes. But in the meantime, we can't simply just avoid using a certain word out of concern of potentially offending someone, even if the word in question is used in an appropriate, non-offensive context. I can't think of anyone else here who would think this word, or similarly loaded language of any kind, should be omitted in its entirety even though it's being used in a non-offensive context.

::::::::Exactly. The word is not used in a derogatory manner, it is completely fine. It's all about context, and in this case, the context is not offensive. The only person that has a problem with it is you, Pardescan. And we won't change it just because one person thinks it may be offensive.

== Template mainspace request ==

For the new Light trio page, there would need to be six Pokémon in the stats section, but there is no such template. I made a [[User:Celadonkey/Template:Groupstats/6|template]] for it and I wanted to know if I could mainspace it to add to the Light trio page. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 14:05, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

== Integration of Spaceworld Iterations of Existing Pokémon ==

I felt I would ask this here, since you're the one who linked the in-progress pages for the Pokémon Gold/Silver Spaceworld demo and you seem to know what the plans for them are, and the Gold and Silver Beta discussion page is rather cluttered and doesn't seem like a good place to catch the attention of anybody in particular.

There are a number of Pokémon added for the demo that did end up being released as official Pokémon, such as the Mareep, and Phanpy lines, Crobat, Espeon, Umbreon, Miltank, and others, who are present in the Spaceworld demo build, sometimes with different names and subtly-different designs. Additionally, there are Pokémon such as Haneko, Poponeko, and Wataneko, Gift, Blissey, Scissors, Leafeon, etc. that are very obviously earlier drafts of Pokémon that would appear in Generation II or later.

Are these Pokémon going to be integrated into the site differently compared to, say, Pokémon like Honoguma, Kurusu, Norowara, Wolfman, or Twinz, that were very clearly cut entirely and have yet to appear in any official, publicly-released Pokémon game?

As an aside, how are name labels going to be handled for Pokémon such as Kingdra, Girafarig, and Bellossom, whose final names are already present and in use in the demo? It seems to me that the sensible thing to do would be to label them with their final English names, since the names they have do have official English-language counterparts, and it would be clearer and easier to read for readers who might be unfamiliar with with the Japanese names of those Pokémon.

== Template:User Anime ==

I had to revert your edit there because it destroyed the template loop. Not entirely sure what that means, but it stopped the template from forming on everyone's pages. If you were trying to create a new template, you'd do best to start from scratch rather than try and put it on an existing page as each template page can only handle one template (unless you're a master of coding and can do some kind of "switch" thing).

== Newbie question about images ==

Hi Chosen,

I am a new user and just registered my account. I have a question about using images on Bulbapedia and [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Archives:Image_use_policy Archives:Image use policy] doesn't really answer my question. For articles about cards from the Pokemon TCG, should an image of an english card version be used if one is available? Is an english version preferred over a japanese version? Furthermore, is it okay to use an image from a third party site and upload it? For example, would it be okay to upload [http://www.collectorscache.com/StoreModules/ProductImages/347/moltresex031promo.jpg this image] in order to replace [[a:File:MoltresexNintendoPromo31.jpg]] in [[Moltres ex (Nintendo Promo 31)]]? (Can I even do this, technically, or does my account first need to be autoconfirmed or something similar?) Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 08:11, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
:While I'm not as versed in TCG guidelines as some other members, I believe English cards should take precedence over Japanese ones. At the same time, I'd advise you take that link and contact one of the active admins found on the [[Bulbapedia:Project TCG|Project TCG page]]; we have been warned against taking certain other websites' content in the past, and TCG content is no different. If that image hasn't been uploaded to the archives already, there might be a reason. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 12:40, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
::Okay, I will follow your advice and contact one of those admins then. Thank you for your help and advice. Regards. [[User:Gengar321|Gengar321]] ([[User talk:Gengar321|talk]]) 20:34, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

== Availability template switch ==

So, with the switch from the old Availability template to the new one, are you using a set color for the Pal Park background? Because it seems the old template was using <code>locationcolor/med|land</code>, but I'm seeing different colors around the site with the new template (like a hardcoded #71AD64). Not entirely sure if I should be using a set color or not, or if it depends on the species. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 19:11, 4/25/2014 (UTC)
:The old availability template changed the Pal Park's slot's color depending on the area. I was trying to match that. For example, since {{p|Tentacool}} is found in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by Pal Park location|sea}}, I used <code>locationcolor/light|ocean</code> as the color. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 21:12, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

== Magma "team color change"? ==

I'm wondering where you got the idea that there's some sort of color change for Team Magma I'm not the sort to keep up with every bit of news, and from a quick look around, I don't see anything. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:46, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
:See the [[Team Magma]] page. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Team_Magma&diff=1933275&oldid=1900328 For a while now], the information template has been using "ground color" as opposed to "fire color". - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 00:18, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
::Okay. I was looking around the wiki some more later and figured that might be what you meant, whereas before I thought you were referring to ORAS, so I was rather lost. =P I guess neither color scheme is exactly official, but I do like it better with ground color.

== Curious ==

I saw your edits to the Clemont's Pokémon template and am wondering something. In the anime, it's been demonstrated that a trainer can only have six Pokémon. How can Clemont have ownership of all six of his and still have Dedenne for Bonnie? Does his Gym team join him after the Gym battle, forcing him to store one, or does Dedenne appear to be a special case? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:43, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
:Technically, the only Pokémon in Clemont's party right now are Bunnelby, Dedenne, Chespin, and Luxray. However, since Clemont currently has access to his Gym Pokémon, they count as "Active" Pokémon in his roster. It's a case similar to Misty. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 16:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

== Ash's Pokémon Template ==
Do you think you can fix the Ash's Pokémon Template? I don't think I did it right. [[User:Seabiscuit|Seabiscuit]] ([[User talk:Seabiscuit|talk]]) 16:33, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
:I don't see any problems, but the template should be a reflection of [[Ash Ketchum#Pokémon|the list of Pokémon]] on the main {{Ash}} page. I'll give you the chance to change the page, but you should include your reasoning in the Summary slot. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:00, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

== Route 14 in the anime ==

I prefer to stay away from the anime stuff because I'm not really familiar with it, but I was wondering if you could help me understand the recent edit you made to {{rt|14|Kalos}}. I've noticed these anime sections being expanded recently, and if I understand the purpose, the Pokemon section (under In the anime) for Route 14 is supposed to identify the Pokemon found there, correct?

But you changed Goomy to Goodra. And, as near as I can tell, Goodra aren't found there, that's just the home Ash's Goodra had when it was a Goomy. Is there a reason it really should be Goodra and not Goomy?

I'm also wondering if Ash's Goomy was the only Goomy in Route 14, or if there were others. It would seem to me that if Ash's Goomy ''wasn't'' the only Goomy we know that lived or lives there, then I think it shouldn't show/link to Ash's Goodra/Goomy specifically, it should show/link to generic Goomy. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
:Goomy was recently changed to Goodra because Ash released it to return to its homeland. There haven't been other Goomy shown living there, either. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 13:38, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
::I see. Thanks! [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:00, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

== "Fall 2015" ==

I happened to see [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=List_of_side_story_episodes&curid=97217&diff=2277776&oldid=2264148 this edit] in the history and took a look, experimenting in preview mode. When I tried "March 2015", it changed the date in the end column to say it was 62 days since the Japanese airing, which shows that the table problem comes from that column. It also means using a month and year calculates in the final column based on the first day of the month. "Fall", however, isn't a calendar month. This is why the last column indicated an unexpected parameter. The only way to solve that problem is to have each seasonal period be treated as a calculable value in the calculations (fall for instance could be September 21). Since I can't edit the template to add something like that - and don't know if it's even possible, anyway! - we can't use do that.

How that enlarged the image? I have an idea. I tested by modifying the line for SS32 to say Fall 2015. The image in that row expanded the same way. I suspect that what happens is any row formatting is disregarded if the row can't be properly completed, and any formatting that might shrink the image thus gets thrown out because the table row is not properly completed. I've forgotten a table ending tag before and ended up having nested tables; that was a bit of a mess...

I would suggest that with the final column acting that way that it would be best to put nothing but an actual date in the previous column. Not because of the image problems, but rather to prevent breaking the table. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 06:19, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
:I agree. It appears to be an oversight within the template itself. Even if I could edit it, I don't know how any edits would affect any working uses of the template. It's best to air on the side of caution in this case. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:41, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Should we expand the column slightly, however, or is it fine like that? [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:29, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
:It looks fine to me, personally. Thanks for your hard work! - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 03:30, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

== Am I Guessing,... ==

...you don't have the ability on this side to edit templates? I asked Glik if he could edit [[Template:Spritebox/3]] as the GIF images for Emerald all now have replacements at Archives, but he said he prefers Archive staff handle them. So I'm poking you. =) But being Archives staff, I realize, does not mean template editing abilities where images are involved, so might you be able to co-ordinate activities with him or another staffer for all of the new images in place for Emerald? See the upload log at Archives; I helped tag for deletion the GIFs from around 213 to the end. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 04:18, 17 July 2015 (UTC)

== Changes to Templates ==

When working on a significant potential change to a template, it's highly advised that you create the updated template on a subpage in your userspace and thoroughly test the changes.

Thanks [[User:MannedTooth|MannedTooth]] ([[User talk:MannedTooth|talk]]) 22:44, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

:Hello, MannedTooth! The best thing I would suggest is to copy that template to a subpage under your User: name. (e.g. "User:MannedTooth/Template:NameGoesHere") Once you've done that, add <nowiki><noinclude>{{Template:Mainspace|Template|status=complete}}</noinclude></nowiki> to the top of the page and create it.

== Regarding changes in [[XY122]] ==

Hey Chosen, you are not new here.
Don't you know that whenever you edit you need to write the reason in summary box. Well, I am new here and starting to get sick of other users. My first article was totally removed saying poorly written and incomplete plot.I accept poorly written as a good reason but incomplete, why there are many articles having incomplete plot. Besides it could have been improved instead.I let it go. Afterwards I tried wrote complete plot of XY 122. But others keep on correcting according to their own views.When Ash was little confused somebody corrected he was determined. Now you changed it back to how it was. I wrote Pikachu's lower body became frozen it was corrected to be additional effect of move now you say it became numb, although I agree with you on this point, I was not able to find a proper word when I wrote. I appreciate your editing and making article more perfect, but you edited it too much and that's what I am mad about. Anyway I let it go but tell me to edit on my talk gotta fly instead of editing almost half of the article. And remember to write reasons for your edits always.
[[User:Pokemon master sachin|Pokemon master sachin]] ([[User talk:Pokemon master sachin|talk]]) 16:58, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
:First, I apologize if my intentions were unclear. While your edits to XY122 were appreciated, I felt the summary could have been expanded, proofread, and reworded to make it flow better.

* What it means to edit tags and how to do it?
* How to categorise files along with add categories to files?

Thanks ahead.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:28, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:Hi Nikuriku. I'll answer your questions in order.
:*Tags come in the form of two different types of templates; ones such as [[a:Template:Sugimoriart|Sugimoriart]] or [[a:Template:Mv|Mv]] that summarize the image in the summary field, and ones such as [[a:Template:i-Fairuse-game|i-Fairuse-game]] and [[a:Template:I-Fairuse-screenshot-anime|I-Fairuse-screenshot-anime]] that provide copyright iformation of the image under the licensing field. If the image is missing a summary or licencing template, you can add them to the image summary by inserting <nowiki>{{(NAME OF TEMPLATE)}}</nowiki> along with the required information.
:*You can add categories to files by adding <nowiki>[[Category:(NAME OF CATEGORY]]</nowiki> anywhere in the summary. They are typically put at the end. Likewise, you can remove categories from an image by deleting that text. Creation of categories is generally left to admins.
For pages you can watch to easily add input to the Archives, I would go to both [[a:Special:SpecialPages|special pages]] and [[a:Special:NewFiles|the gallery of new files]]. If you have anymore questions, be sure to refer to the [[a:Archives:FAQ|Archives FAQ]]. You can find more information about tagging and categorizing there. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 17:19, 14 June 2017 (UTC)

:I'm only a Jr. Admin in Bulbapedia, so I can't delete articles. I can pass it on to someone higher up, however. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 02:39, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

== Images ==

I noticed you have been uploading a lot of images for Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon. When you get a chance can you log into Discord so I can talk to you about them (I don't want to clutter this)? Since I am able to get most of the images in much higher resolution. And there is also a couple of other things I want to ask you about regarding screenshots as well. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 02:42, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
:If you get a minute can you log onto Discord? I was wondering if it would be possible for you to get me a few more images of a certain location. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 16:49, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
::I just want to let you know that there has been a good chunk of new areas that have been added to the Dropbox recently. There is also a few areas that should be very easy to put together, with hardly anything to adjust. Also when you get a chance to log onto to Discord, I have a link I want to send you for the maps but I don't want to post it publicly. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 21:35, 2 January 2018 (UTC)

== Dulse as Captain ==

Where is he called that? As far as I can tell, the only one outright referred to as Captain is Phyco. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 00:11, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

== SM/USUM models ==

May I ask that you change the text on various characters' model sections to "model from Generation VI" instead of "model from S, M, US, and UM"? It's much simpler that way, and means the exact same thing. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 14:34, 2 February 2018 (UTC)
:Officially, Generation VII has not ended yet. I insist on using this until the Switch project and title are revealed in full. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 14:36, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

== PokémonGamer is back ==
Would you kindly ban DigimonGamer aka a lazy PokémonGamer sock? Thanks!--[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 01:26, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
:I would totally to that for you, but Jr. Admins don't have the ability to block users, sorry! I passed it on to the other admins, but I would get in touch with a full admin ASAP. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 01:33, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

== Krookmonguy ==
Krookmonguy has been posting voice actors for certain characters but has given no reliable source.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 16:58, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

== Gladion's Silvally ==

I was wondering why you haven't mainspaced your Gladion's Silvally page yet? It obviously has enough information for it already.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 15:53, 16 April 2018 (UTC)

== Page splitting ==

I've been thinking about splitting a couple Alolan "sub-locations", so to say, into their own articles: the Kantonian Gym in [[Malie City]], and the Tide Song Hotel in [[Heahea City]]. Would this be okay with you? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:02, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

== Template edit request ==

I must say that I admire really your work at creating new pages for items. Now, could you please make a small edit to {{template|Route infobox}} to turn the links to [[Bicycle]] into links to the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]] pages you just made? Thank you in advance. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:44, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

== Item pages ==

When you get a chance, can you log onto Discord? There is something I want to pass along to you for the item pages, but I don't want to go into detail here. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 16:15, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

==Pictures==
I'm guessing you have access to videos of episodes without English subtitles, any chance you can send me a link?--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:10, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

== SM073 ==
Why did you delete the image of the Mystery Man from SM073's page and then add it back? Was it just a mistake? [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:23, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
:Actually, yes. It seems we were editing at the same time. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] of [[User talk:Chosen|Mana]] 03:23, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

== Ion Deluge ==

Hi Chosen! I've spotted you uploading a lot of screenshots from the gen VII games. Good work! You know, the only move in need of an updated picture is [[Ion Deluge (move)|Ion Deluge]]. As it requires an update and my console is a bit of a mess for updating, would you be able to take a screenshot for that move too? --[[User:Crikko|'''★''''''Cri''''''ққ''''''ѳ~''''''*''']] 19:09, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
:Nevermind. :D --[[User:Crikko|'''★''''''Cri''''''ққ''''''ѳ~''''''*''']] 12:37, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

'''Blacephalon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ズガドーン''' ''Zugadoon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]] in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].

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

It is one of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and is known by the code name '''UB Burst''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ＵＢ：ＢＵＲＳＴ|ユービー：バースト}}''' ''UB: Burst'').

==Biology==
Blacephalon has a humanoid figure with a slender torso and wide hips. Its legs are white with balls on the front, a pink one on the left leg and a blue one on the right leg. Its feet are shaped as if it is wearing high-heeled boots with pointed tips. The main body is yellow with alternating pink and blue stripes. It has a white ball on its chest and one as a tail. Its right arm is pink and its left arm is blue. Its hands are white and have frills on the wrists. A larger frill is around its neck and in the middle is a hole — the shape of the ripples change slightly depending on Blacephalon's mood.

For a head, Blacephalon has a white ball with a multitude of pink and blue dots that can change color to reflect its emotions and are supposedly made of tiny sparks. On both sides of the ball are stars with an alternating pink and blue color pattern — the tapering on the ends of these also changes depending on Blacephalon's mood. In the middle of these stars are yellow spots which may be Blacephalon's eyes. Blacephalon's head is not attached to the body, and can grow or shrink in size when it attacks.

Blacephalon is known to trick its targets through the foppish way it walks before blowing its head up without warning in order to steal their vitality.<ref>https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-7.html</ref>. This Ultra Beast can freely move its head around easily and regenerate after blowing it up.

Blacephalon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Mind Blown}}.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blacephalon anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Blacephalon in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Blacephalon debuted in [[SM078]]. {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} first encountered it performing during a fireworks show. The next day, they learned that it was an Ultra Beast and set out as the [[Ultra Guardians]] to {{pkmn2|caught|capture}} it. However, they also ran into a {{p|Xurkitree}} while trying to find it, and soon, the two Ultra Beasts ended up in a performance showdown, each trying to outperform the other with their moves. Thanks to a distraction from the Ultra Guardians, they were able to distract, weaken, and subsequently capture the two Ultra Beasts, allowing them to be returned home wherever they come from.

===Minor appearances===
==In the manga==
[[File:Blacephalon Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Blacephalon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Blacephalon first appeared in the {{chap|Sun & Moon}}. It emerged through one of the [[Ultra Wormhole]]s opened by [[Guzma]] at [[Po Town]]. {{adv|Sun}} and {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} attempted to capture it but regular [[Poké Ball]]s didn't work on it, and they were only narrowly saved by {{p|Tapu Bulu}}, who blew Blacephalon away.

There are yellow, crescent-shaped ornaments on the sides of its head. Cresselia has glowing, pink, ring-like wings on its sides and back with paw like protrusions resting on its chest. These wings release shining particles and undulate beautifully around the quarter moon. Cresselia has the power to dispel nightmares, and holding one of its feathers is said to bring happy dreams. However, as seen [[DP104|in the anime]], it can be quite hostile towards its counterpart, {{p|Darkrai}}. Cresselia is [[signature move|the only known Pokémon]] able to learn {{m|Lunar Dance}}. Cresselia is a female-only species.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cresselia anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Cresselia in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
Cresselia made its main series debut in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]''. Cresselia normally returns to its shrine on [[Fullmoon Island]] during a certain time of the year when a {{p|Darkrai}} also comes by to cause nightmares. It may also leave its [[Lunar Wing|feathers]], which people find to help stop the nightmares caused by Darkrai. In the episode, Cresselia helped {{Ash}} and the residents of [[Canalave City]] get better sleep by stopping Darkrai. {{TRT}} attempted to catch Cresselia but was stopped when {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} evolved into {{p|Piloswine}}.

===Minor appearances===
Cresselia debuted in a short cameo during the opening sequence of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

A Cresselia appeared in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Cresselia appeared as a silhouette in ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]''.

Cresselia appears under the ownership of {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}}, who caught it on [[Fullmoon Island]] in order to give Sailor [[Eldritch]]'s son the cure to wake up from a terrible nightmare. Cresselia followed its Trainer into the [[Distortion World]] where it squared up against its nemesis, {{p|Darkrai}}. Eventually, {{adv|Platinum}} got on Cresselia in order to chase [[Charon]] who was commanding {{p|Giratina}} to fly him out of the Distortion World. She first appeared in ''[[PS432|The Final Dimensional Duel II]]''.

===In the Pokémon Try Adventure manga===

{{main|Cresselia (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[File:SpearPillarCresselia.png|thumb|210px|Cresselia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
Cresselia appears on the {{st|Spear Pillar}} stage as one of three Pokémon who appear in the center (the others being Dialga and Palkia). Cresselia acts completely different than the other two in terms of attacks it uses. It will often use {{m|Psycho Cut}}s around the field, and sometimes shoot one large Psycho Cut as if it were a boomerang, hitting anyone that touches it.

====Trophy information====
''A Lunar Pokémon. Cresselia appears on [[Fullmoon Island]] and, once discovered, flies around different areas of Sinnoh. Its signature [[move]], {{m|Lunar Dance}}, causes Cresselia to faint but recovers all the HP and cures the status conditions of the next Pokémon its Trainer sends out. Cresselia excels at recovery techniques and is unusual in that it appears only in female form.''

==Trivia==
* Cresselia can be seen as a counterpart of {{p|Darkrai}}, as Darkrai causes nightmares, whereas Cresselia prevents them. Also, their islands are shaped and named opposite of each other.
** Furthermore, in the TCG, one of the attacks on [[Darkrai (Great Encounters 3)|Darkrai 3/106 of Great Encounters]], Darkness Pursuit, has a base damage of 100 if Cresselia is the opposing Pokémon. Otherwise, it deals 50 damage.
* Prior to Generation VI, Cresselia's body style was [[File:Body14.png]].
* In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, despite being a [[legendary Pokémon]], battling the wild Cresselia plays "Battle! (Wild Pokémon)".

===Origin===
Cresselia's form seems to be based on a {{wp|swan}}. Considering its crescent moon motif and the {{wp|aurora}}-colored {{wp|planetary ring}}s around its body, it may originate from the constellation {{wp|Cygnus (constellation)|Cygnus}}. Cresselia shares characteristics with {{wp|Sarimanok}}, a legendary fowl with a profusely decorated head, feathered tail, and colorful wings that is said to be a symbol of good fortune.

====Name origin====
Cresselia may be a combination of ''crescent'' (referring to the {{wp|lunar phase}}) and ''{{wp|Selene}}'' (Greek goddess of the Moon).

A '''Bicycle''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|じてんしゃ|jitensha}}''' ''Bicycle'') is a [[Key Item]] obtained in the games to facilitate [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|faster movement]]. They are usually obtained from [[Bicycle Shop]]s.

* In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Miracle Cycle]] in [[Cerulean City]] sells Bicycles for {{pdollar}}1,000,000, which is {{PDollar}}1 more than is possible for the player to obtain in these games. Instead, the player must use a [[Bike Voucher]] to buy one.

===Effect===
The Bicycle allows for faster traveling than walking, [[Running Shoes|running]], or [[Roller Skates|skating]]. It also allows the player to pass the [[Cycling Road]]s on {{rt|16|Kanto}} to {{rtn|18|Kanto}} in [[Kanto]] and {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} in [[Sinnoh]].

The Bicycle cannot be ridden inside of buildings or if the player is accompanied by a person. In {{game|Yellow}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[walking Pokémon]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] while the player is cycling. Prior to Generation V, bikes could not be ridden in [[Snow tile|snow]].

In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and their [[remake|remade]] counterparts, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the player has a choice of two bike models, the [[Mach Bike]] and the [[Acro Bike]]. Both bicycles have different properties that allow the player to reach places they otherwise could not, but they typically cannot have both at the same time. They can switch models at [[Rydel's Cycles]].

In [[Generation VII]], several [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] take over the role of transporting the player across the land at higher speeds, such as {{p|Tauros}} Charge.

====In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} only====
The player can switch between third and fourth gears by pressing the B button, which function similarly to the [[Acro Bike]] and [[Mach Bike]], respectively. Fourth gear is faster than third gear and allows the player to ride up {{DL|bike obstacles|muddy slopes}} and jump further from bike {{DL|bike obstacles|ramps}}. Third gear can jump bike ramps, but does not jump as far. In Diamond and Pearl only, bikes cannot be ridden in [[gate]]s.

====In {{g|X and Y}}====
The player can move in any direction using the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s Circle Pad. When the player has a choice between a green and yellow Bicycle when they obtain it. They cannot switch bikes once they pick one, but both Bicycles are functionally identical.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Dawn bike.png|thumb|left|220px|Dawn's bike before it was destroyed]]
[[File:DP Bicycle.png|thumb|220px|{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} riding rented bikes]]
Bicycles are rarely seen in the {{pkmn|anime}}, since {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are usually seen walking for their journeys. The only time bicycles are used is when it is necessary to use them, such as on [[Cycling Road]]s, or for a faster way to get somewhere.

The first bicycle to appear was {{an|Misty}}'s bicycle in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It was "borrowed" by Ash in order to escape from a flock of {{p|Spearow}}. The bike was then unintentionally destroyed when [[Ash's Pikachu]] released a {{m|Thunder Shock}} at the Spearow. Misty later re-obtained her bike from [[Nurse Joy]] in [[Viridian City]] in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]''.

The act of Pikachu destroying a female companion's bike became a {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}} in the two following [[series]] of the anime: {{an|May}}'s bicycle was destroyed in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road!]]'' and {{an|Dawn}}'s in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]''.

Bicycles can be rented for use on Cycling Roads, as seen in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'' and ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]''. Some characters do own bicycles, but are rarely seen using them. For example, {{an|Professor Oak}} used a bicycle in ''[[M02|The Power Of One]]'' to get to {{Delia}}'s house.

{{an|Barry}} was shown to have a bike in ''[[DP157|Gotta Get a Gible!]]''. He said he got it in [[Eterna City]] as part of a free bicycle distribution event. The bike was eventually devoured by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Gible}}.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', [[Chopper]]'s bike bears a resemblance to {{p|Zapdos}}.

{{an|Mallow}}'s bike appeared in ''[[SM008|Lillie's Egg-xhilarating Challenge!]]''.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Bicycle PO.png|250px|thumb|Red's bicycle in Pokémon Origins]]
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} commonly used a bicycle to move around in [[Pokémon Origins]]. He was seen obtaining it at the beginning of ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', getting it in return for a [[Bike Voucher]] he had obtained from the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Bicycle Zensho.png|thumb|200px|A Bicycle in Pokémon Zensho]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Misty}}'s Bicycle, which, like in the anime, had been accidentally destroyed by {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}}, was custom built and worth {{PDollar}}10,000.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Professor Oak}} used a bicycle to pursue the Pokémon that had escaped from his {{TP|Professor Oak|Laboratory}} in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur Come Home!]]''.

{{adv|Red}} participated in a cycling competition along [[Route]]s {{rtn|11|Kanto}} and {{rtn|12|Kanto}} in ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You're Snorlax!]]'', using a bicycle received in exchange for a coupon he had gotten from the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]].

{{adv|Gold}} competed with [[Whitney]] in a bike race from [[Goldenrod City]] to the [[National Park]] in ''[[PS105|Smeargle Smudge]]'' and ''[[PS106|How Do You Do, Sudowoodo?]]''. Gold, however, altered his Bicycle into a push scooter.

{{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} received Bicycles from [[Rad Rickshaw]] as a sign of gratitude after his rescue from [[Team Galactic]] in ''[[PS347|Ring Around the Roserade II]]''. The trio would later use their new Bicycles to travel through the [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
A Bicycle was seen inside the [[Miracle Cycle]] shop in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]''.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:BicyclePlasmaStorm117.jpg|Bicycle|thumb|200px]]
{{main|Bicycle (Plasma Storm 117)}}
The '''Bicycle''' was introduced as an {{TCG|Item card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era). First released in the {{TCG|Cold Flare}} expansion, the Bicycle later debuted in the {{TCG|Plasma Storm}} expansion with both prints featuring an illustration by [[Toyste Beach]]. With the same effect as {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Mail from Bill|105}} from the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion, this {{TCG|Trainer card}} allows the player to draw cards until they have 4 cards in their hand.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|beta version]] of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, a skateboard was planned to complement the Bicycle.
* The song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bicycle]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|じてんしゃ|Jitensha}}) from [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} is a remix of the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Goldenrod City]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|コガネシティ|Kogane Shiti}}). Furthermore, the song ''[[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|Bug-Catching Contest]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|むしとりたいかい|Neshitori Taikai}}) from these games remixes parts of the song ''[[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|Cycling]]'' (Japanese: {{tt|サイクリング|Saikuringu}}) from [[Generation I]].
* In [[Generation V]], if the player runs or holds down the B Button, [[Non-player character|NPCs]] with bicycles will go faster.
* In [[Generation VI]], the light of the bicycle is turned on at [[night]], but not in [[cave]]s.
* Despite the typical Bicycle not making an appearance in the [[core series]] since {{g|X and Y}}, in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} the Bicycle's English name was reformatted to '''Bike''' in its [[List of items by index number (Generation VI)|internal data]], and has remained that way ever since.

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Giratina|second forme]] activated by giving Giratina a [[Griseous Orb]] to hold, or while it is in its home, the [[Distortion World]]. Its original forme, '''Altered Forme''', will then become '''Origin Forme'''.

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Giratina Dimension Transfer Power.png|250px|thumb|left|Giratina creating a portal to the [[Reverse World]] in the anime]]
Giratina is a large gray draconic Pokémon with gold half rings circling the back of its neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with red tips that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if it's a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and clawed.

In its Origin Forme, it takes on a serpentine look, with six black ghostly streamers on its back with red spikes at the tips. Its legs are reduced to spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the three gold half-rings can grip objects. The horns on its head are now facing the back, and the black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs all the way down its body. Giratina can only be in its Origin Forme when in its home, the [[Reverse World]], or when holding a [[Griseous Orb]].

Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Reverse World. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal. It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World. Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon that is protective of its home. [[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appears in cemeteries and that it supposedly lives in a world on the reverse side. It was said to be banished for violence. Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Shadow Force}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
{{mov|Giratina}} debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushed and dragged {{mov|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]], in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to its home during its fight with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

Giratina reappeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', where it was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Creation trio|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of {{Ash}} and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight against {{mov|Arceus|Arceus|12}}.

=====Other=====
Giratina appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' as one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its main series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.

Giratina serves as the main antagonist in ''[[PS416|Double Trouble with Dialga and Palkia VI]]''. It had been chasing [[Paka and Uji]] endlessly in the Distortion World until it had taken Dialga, Palkia and Cyrus hostage. It then landed in the [[Pokémon world]] location of [[Eterna City]] and caused a rampage. Giratina concluded the rampage by targeting {{adv|Pearl}} with its signature {{m|Shadow Force}}, although {{adv|Diamond}} took the hit for him. [[Reg]] responded to its Trainer's loss by helping {{p|Rotom}} change between its Formes to attack Giratina. Giratina was forced to retreat, and [[Charon]] followed it into the Distortion World. Upon arrival, Giratina was challenged by [[Volkner]] and {{OBP|Flint|Elite Four}}, but quickly ended the resistance of their {{p|Electivire}} and {{p|Magmortar}}.

Eventually, Giratina fought Dialga, Palkia and [[Reg]] all at once inside the Distortion World. After Charon's flying craft was destroyed, he decided to retreat by commanding Giratina to fly him out of the Distortion World. However, Charon and Giratina were impeded by a {{m|Draco Meteor}} from [[Cynthia]]'s {{p|Garchomp}} as soon as they arrived back in the Pokémon world. After Charon's arrest by [[Looker]], Giratina rose again and tried to ambush {{adv|Platinum}} but Volkner's Electivire and Flint's Magmortar finished it off. Giratina was forced to return to the Distortion World on Dialga and Palkia's command.

In the {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Giratina was created in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], along with Dialga and Palkia, by {{p|Arceus}}' creation process, which was forced by [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Executive (Trainer class)|Four Generals]]. Knowing that the creation process would threaten the [[Johto]] region, Team Rocket's true leader {{adv|Giovanni}} returned with [[Lance]] and [[Pryce]] to keep the creation trio at bay while {{adv|Gold}} tried to calm Arceus down.

===Origin===
Giratina may be based on the biblical figure of the {{wp|Fallen Angels}}, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell. This is analogous to Giratina, due to being a Pokémon created by [[Arceus]] (Pokémon World's God) and excommunicated to another dimension due to its belligerent nature. Nonetheless, it might have drawn inspiration by {{wp|Samael}}, who is the Angel of Death and ruler of the 5th Heaven, which alludes to Giratina being the ruler of another dimension ([[Reverse World]]) and being the exemplar of antimatter. Furthermore, both of Giratina's Forms resemble the {{wp|The Beast (Revelation)|Beasts of Revelation}}, with its Altered Form standing for the "Earth Beast", and its Origin Form standing for the "Sea Beast".

Giratina may also be based on Seta, a giant centipede, from the Japanese fairytale, "{{wp|My Lord Bag of Rice}}", which was said to prey on dragon hatchlings and be as large as a mountain.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina's wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}.

Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs. This Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphiptere}}, a {{wp|European dragon}}-like creature with wings but no legs.

In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did with {{wp|G4 (TV channel)|G4}}, they said that Giratina and the Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.<ref>[http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694081/junichi-masuda-takeshi-kawachimaru-talk-pokemon-platinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more/ Junichi Masuda & Takeshi Kawachimaru Talk 'Pokemon Platinum', Particle Physics, Bridges, And More! - G4tv.com]</ref> In HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Cynthia]] also states this.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be a combination of ''{{wp|girasol}}'' (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', or ''girare'' (Italian for ''to wander around''); and プラチナ ''purachina'' (Japanese for {{wp|platinum}}).

'''Viridian City''' (Japanese: '''トキワシティ''' ''Tokiwa City'') is a small city located in western [[Kanto]]. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}}, [[Team Rocket]] leader [[Giovanni]] serves as [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Ground}}-specialist [[Viridian Gym]], but the [[Gym]] is locked until the {{player}} has gained the other seven [[Badge#Kanto|League Badges]]. {{ga|Blue}} is the Gym Leader in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games and trains {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of various types.

Three major paths lead from the city center. To the north is {{rt|2|Kanto}}, as well as [[Viridian Forest]], which lies in the middle of the route, leading to [[Pewter City]]. To the south is {{rt|1|Kanto}}, which leads to [[Pallet Town]]. To the west is {{rt|22|Kanto}}, leading to [[Indigo Plateau]] and the [[Pokémon League]].

In the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the city is known as "the Gateway to Indigo Plateau".

==Slogan==
===Generations I-III===
'''''The Eternally Green Paradise''''' (Japanese: '''トキワは　みどり　えいえんのいろ''' ''Tokiwa is the color of green eternity.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''The City of Evergreen''''' (Japanese: '''えいえんなる　みどりの　まち''' ''The eternally green town.'')

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon academy===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, this academy is located in the center of Viridian and is a place dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, this school is replaced by the [[Trainer House]].

===Old man===
{{main|Old man (Kanto)}}
[[File:Old man.png|thumb|left|The old man lying down in the middle of the road]]
There is a grumpy old man in central Viridian who will not let Trainers pass through to {{rt|2|Kanto}} until he has had his daily coffee. (In the original Japanese games, the old man is not grumpy from lack of coffee, but rather is drunk and has passed out in the middle of the road, much to the dismay of his grandchild.) The man is simply a barrier in the game, preventing players from wandering past Viridian City until the player has gone to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivered [[Oak's Parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]].

Once the task is complete, the old man lightens up and teaches the player how to catch a Pokémon using a [[Poké Ball]]. This is a guide for novice players in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He will also give the player a [[Teachy TV]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which teaches the player a variety of things about battling and catching Pokémon.

He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, declaring that he has had his espresso and that he was once an expert at catching Pokémon. This is a reference to the events of three years before.
{{left clear}}

===Trainer House===
{{main|Trainer House}}
[[File:Trainer House outside HGSS.png|thumb|right|The Trainer House in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, the Trainer House replaces the Pokémon academy in the center of Viridian. The first floor is occupied by a handful of people, while the basement is primarily dedicated to a battlefield. In the basement, the {{player}} may battle other Trainers once a day.

In Generation II, the opposing {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the basement will be the last person the player has used [[Mystery Gift]] with, with whatever [[party]] they had when Mystery Gift was used. If the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, the opposing Trainer will be {{ga|Cal}}.

In Generation IV, the player will initially only find {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}} in the basement. When the player meets another Trainer via the Pokéwalker and re-syncs the Pokéwalker back to their game, the other Trainer will also appear in the basement with their party. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in this way. Any Pokémon in a Trainer's party above level 50 will have their level reduced to 50. Battles here give no [[experience]] or money, but the player will receive 1 [[Battle Point|BP]] for each victory.

===Viridian Gym===
{{main|Viridian Gym}}
[[File:Viridian Gym FRLG.png|thumb|180px|Viridian Gym in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
The Viridian Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Viridian City. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat this Gym's Leader receive the {{Badge|Earth}}. The Gym is usually strewn with the same one-way [[spin tile]]s seen in the [[Rocket Hideout]], except in Generation II where the floor is bare of any obstacles.

During the events of [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}}, it is based on {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. The Gym is initially locked due to its Leader's absence and will not re-open until the player has collected the other seven [[Badge]]s.

In Generations II and IV, Team Rocket has disbanded and {{ga|Blue}} takes over as the Gym's Leader. Under Blue's direction, the Gym no longer concentrates on any particular [[type]].

===Move Tutor===
The man in the area that requires {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Surf}} to access gives out the [[TM]] for {{m|Dream Eater}}: in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}, it is [[TM42]], while in [[Generation IV]], it is [[TM85]]. In [[Generation III]], he is instead a [[Move Tutor]] of Dream Eater.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the population of Viridian City is 28 (27 excluding Giovanni).

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Viridian City is 25. The population has decreased, due to the fact that Viridian Gym no longer has regular Trainers.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Viridian City is 30.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Viridian City is 34. This shows that Viridian City has grown in size from FireRed and LeafGreen to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Poké Mart==
The [[Poké Mart]] is located south of the [[Viridian Gym]]. In Generation II and IV, it is to the right of the Trainer House.

==Differences between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Viridian City's layout is consistent between Generations I and III. There are no notable differences between the Viridian of Generation I and Generation III, aside from the larger houses in {{gen|III}} and some slight repositioning. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. Most of the town's residents remain the same, and will give the player the same information. Items that are given out, however, are different from generation to generation. In Generation III the Potion behind the Cut tree is no longer hidden.

===Generation II and IV===
The differences between the Generation II and IV and Generation I and III games are more noticeable. The [[Pokémon academy]] seen in Generation III has been replaced with the giant [[Trainer House]], and other buildings were added as well. Within the Trainer House in Generation II, Trainers will battle either {{ga|Cal}}, if the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player with whom he or she has used Mystery Gift. In Generation IV, the player may either battle Cal or up to 10 different Trainers met on the Pokéwalker.

==In the spin-off games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
[[File:Pinball Blue Viridian City.png|thumb|right]]
In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian City appears on the Blue table; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Tentacool}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Viridian City anime.png|thumb|220px|Viridian City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Viridian Pokémon Center.png|thumb|220px|left|Viridian City's Pokémon Center]]
Viridian City was first seen at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', and is later visited in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', when [[Ash Ketchum]] took his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] here. When entering the town, Ash was stopped by Viridian City's [[Officer Jenny]], who found him suspicious, due to the fact he was carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]]. While staying overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash had his first encounter with the [[Team Rocket trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Ash and Pikachu foiled their plot to steal all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Center, thus beginning Team Rocket's obsession with capturing Ash's Pikachu.

Sometime later, in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} revisited Viridian City, and they find out the Pokémon Center that had exploded in the end of ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' has been rebuilt. They found the [[Viridian Gym]], and Ash decided to fight the [[Gym Leader]], but {{Gary}} ended up fighting him first (forcing Ash to wait outside due to the one-Trainer-at-a-time policy that Viridian Gym apparently has). After {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was carried off by a {{p|Fearow}}, Ash and friends went looking for it, only to find it in the Gym. They then noticed that Gary and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|girlfriends]] were badly injured due to {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}'s attacks. After Ash fought and won a difficult and dangerous battle with Team Rocket, the Gym collapsed due to Togepi blowing up the stands. Ash picked up the {{badge|Earth}} Team Rocket lost. Afterwards, Ash and his friends left.

After the [[Silver Conference]], Viridian was once again revisited, in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', only some things had changed. Most notably, the [[Nurse Joy]] who worked at the Viridian Center in ''Pokémon Emergency!'' had retired and {{an|Misty}}'s [[Bicycle|bike]] had been fixed. After a battle with Team Rocket, as well as [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|a trio of hired thugs]], they left Viridian City.

Ash later passed through Viridian on the way home in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances ended up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader, [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Agatha]]. It is also here that Ash met up with [[Scott]], the owner of the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} and decided to take the Battle Frontier challenge.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Viridian City PO.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in Pokémon Origins]]
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} stopped by the local Pokémon Center to heal his {{p|Charmander}}, after having lost a battle against his [[rival]], {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. He also made a call to [[Professor Oak]] from there before departing to [[Pewter City]].

Viridian City appeared again in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where Red returned there in order to challenge the local Gym Leader, only to find out that not only had Blue already done so, but that the Gym Leader was none other than [[Giovanni]], the Boss of [[Team Rocket]]. Enraged of seeing Giovanni as a Gym Leader, Red challenged him to a battle, not as a Gym Leader, but as the enemy of all Pokémon. Using his specially trained {{p|Rhyhorn}}, Giovanni defeated most of Red's Pokémon with ease, but soon noticed himself getting excited of the battle. When Red sent out his {{TP|Red|Charizard}} to face Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni finally remembered how he had once been like Red, a child enjoying Pokémon battles simply for the fun and excitement of it. Even though Red eventually won the battle, he initially refused to take the Earth Badge, saying he didn't want it from the Boss of Team Rocket. Impressed of Red's attitude, Giovanni then informed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|his minions}} that Team Rocket would now be disbanded. After this, Red accepted Giovanni's Badge, and departed Viridian City for Indigo Plateau. Reminded of his past, Giovanni decided to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, leaving behind his positions as Viridian City's Gym Leader and the Boss of Team Rocket.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Viridian City PG.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in Pokémon Generations]]
Viridian City appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]''. The [[International Police]] raided the Viridian Gym in search of Giovanni, but failed to find him. Giovanni was then seen overlooking Viridian City as he walked away, vowing that Team Rocket would never fall.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Viridian City EToP.png|thumb|left|230px|Viridian City in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Viridian City appeared in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} caught his runaway {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} there after it had fled from him on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Despite Pikachu still being [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards Ash and frequently {{m|Thunder Shock}}ing him, he boasted that since Pikachu were hard to tame, he already had {{Gary}} beat without even trying. Gary, however, soon showed up himself, taunting Ash and showing him that he already had a full [[party|team]] of six Pokémon, while Ash only had his disobedient Pikachu.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Viridian City Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Viridian City in Pokémon Adventures]]
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}} were forced to chase some of the Pokémon that Red had accidentally set free from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] all the way to [[Pallet Town]]'s neighbor city, including a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which the two chased to the abandoned [[Viridian Gym]]. After Red had helped Bulbasaur to defeat a wild {{p|Machoke}} attacking them, Professor Oak chose to give Bulbasaur to Red, along with a [[Pokédex]].

Viridian City made a brief appearance in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'', where local citizens were asking questions about the missing [[Gym Leader]].

Red revisited Viridian City in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' after helping a {{adv|Yellow|young girl}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. Upon hearing rumors about the missing "invincible" Gym Leader, Red decided to check out the Viridian Gym again. At the Gym, he met {{adv|Giovanni}}, learning that not only was he the Viridian City Gym Leader, but also the leader of [[Team Rocket]]. Giovanni then challenged Red to a battle, making a bet with him that should Red lose, he'd come to serve him as his right-hand man. During the battle, Giovanni's {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} caused the Viridian Gym to collapse into ruins. Eventually Red emerged victorious with his [[Pika]] defeating Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} and knocking the Gym Leader himself unconscious as well.

In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', Red participated in [[Pokémon Association]]'s Gym Leader test for the new Viridian Gym Leader at the reconstructed Viridian Gym. Although he passed the test with flying colors, Red had to turn down the offer, as he had not yet completely recovered from the frostbites he received after being frozen by [[Lorelei]] in the {{chap|Yellow}}. As such, {{adv|Blue}} was appointed as the new Gym Leader instead, after he impressed the Pokémon Association by stopping and {{pkmn2|Caught|capturing}} a group of rampaging [[wild Pokémon]].

In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} arrived in Viridian City to meet Blue at the Gym, but only found his hologram, set there in case for a challenger coming while he was not present. An automated system then brought out Blue's Pokémon, which, even without their Trainer giving them commands, easily defeated Yellow's [[Chuchu]] in a battle. {{adv|Silver}} soon arrived at the site as well, looking for his roots. Unexpectedly, the two were attacked by [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of Team Rocket, who revealed that Silver was actually Giovanni's long-lost son. This revelation shocked Silver so much that the two Team Rocket members had no trouble in knocking him out and taking him to the [[Team Rocket airship]], with Yellow giving chase.

==Trivia==
* An {{pkmn|anime}} song {{so|Viridian City|of the same name}} is centered on its status as the location of the final [[Gym]] in [[Kanto]].
* It is the only town that is the first visited in the game that has a Gym after the starting location, though the Gym is closed until the other seven [[Badge]]s have been obtained.

{{samename|set in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}|Evolution (GB1)}} ''For the expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], see [[Evolutions (TCG)]].''
[[File:Evolution VII.png|thumb|250px|right|{{p|Pikachu}} evolving into {{p|Raichu}}, depicted in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}]]
'''Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|進化|しんか}}''' ''evolution'') is a process in which a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} changes into a different species of Pokémon. This change is not merely visual, however, as Pokémon of a higher evolutionary stage have different (and usually more powerful) [[base stats]] than their predecessors, may have different [[move]]s that can be learned, and sometimes change their [[type]]s, though usually at least one of the types of the previous form is preserved. Other statistics, such as [[Nature]] and {{EV}}s, as well as {{shiny|shininess}}, are preserved. With respect to real-world phenomena, Pokémon Evolution is more similar to {{wp|metamorphosis}} than {{wp|evolution}}. Evolution also appears to be a mostly independent phenomena from the {{wp|aging}} process for most species, though [[Baby Pokémon]] need to evolve to their next stage in order to [[Pokémon Breeding|breed]].

[[Professor Elm]] and [[Professor Rowan]] are the leading experts in Pokémon Evolution. According to the latter's research, over 90% of all Pokémon are connected to at least one other through Evolution (this is true only if Legendary Pokémon are excluded.) Rowan's research in [[Generation IV]] regards whether Evolution is a form of maturity in Pokémon, and looking at the implications of the process on Legendary Pokémon, which at that time did not evolve.

==Evolution families==
An evolution family is a group of Pokémon who will all, if bred with {{p|Ditto}} or a Pokémon in the same [[Egg Group]], make a Pokémon Egg that will hatch into the same Pokémon, excluding baby Pokémon. This also means that the most basic form has the potential to become any of the rest of the family, although it will ultimately be able to follow only one evolutionary path.

===Stages of evolution===
[[File:Piplup family anime.png|thumb|240px|right|Piplup evolution family in the anime]]
Pokémon can be divided into different evolutionary stages, based on where they appear in their evolution family. All Pokémon fall into one of four groups: [[baby Pokémon]], unevolved Pokémon, first-evolution Pokémon, and second-evolution Pokémon. These groups are also the basis for the {{Trading Card Game}}'s grouping of {{TCG|Baby Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Stage 1 Pokémon}}, and {{TCG|Stage 2 Pokémon}}, respectively.

Due to the fact that no evolution family contains both a baby Pokémon and a second-evolution Pokémon, many regard baby Pokémon as the most basic form, while moving their evolved counterparts one level higher. For example, originally, {{p|Pikachu}} was regarded as an unevolved Pokémon, however, with the release of {{p|Pichu}} in [[Generation II]], many now consider it to be more on par with Pokémon like {{p|Charmeleon}}, though its TCG classification remains the same.

====One-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a two-stage evolutionary line}}
By far the most common type of evolution family, these families are based in a Pokémon that will only ever evolve once in its development. About one third of all Pokémon that would later get a baby form were part of this kind of evolution family before their baby form was revealed. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|-

|}

====Two-evolution families====
{{main|:category:Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line}}
Perhaps the most well-known types of evolution families are those that feature two separate evolutionary events in the Pokémon's development. Indeed, this type of evolution family is what all of the [[starter Pokémon]] in the [[core series]] are a part of (excluding the starter {{p|Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}}, as {{p|Pichu}} did not yet exist and it could not be evolved into {{p|Raichu}}; and {{p|Eevee}}, which could only be taken by {{ga|Blue}}), as well as all [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

|-

|}

====Pokémon that do not evolve====
{{main|List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line}}
The least common type of evolution family is that in which no evolutionary event takes place, meaning that it is made up of only one member. Many of the Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives are {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]]. However, there are still 75 other Pokémon that do not evolve.

Not belonging to an evolutionary family is not indicative of strength, or a lack thereof. Some Pokémon, such as {{p|Heracross}} and {{p|Skarmory}}, are comparable to fully evolved Pokémon while others, like {{p|Delibird}} and {{p|Luvdisc}}, are more comparable to unevolved Pokémon. Often this indicates a Pokémon's possibility to be eligible for future [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|new evolutions]] or [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]].

====Branched evolution families====
{{main|List of Pokémon with branched evolutions}}
Several families, while also one- and two-evolution families, are also branched evolution families. What this means is that there is a split in the evolutionary line at some point so that even though two Pokémon of the same species evolve the same amount of times, they can become one of two or more entirely different creatures. {{p|Eevee}} is the best-known example of this, evolving eight different ways depending on the method used. An example of this type of evolution family is below.

==Methods of evolution==
[[File:Evotag.png|frame|right|{{p|Ivysaur}} evolving into {{p|Venusaur}}, depicted in {{game|Black and White|s}}.]]
{{main|Methods of evolution}}
The various triggers for a Pokémon's evolution are almost as varied as the Pokémon themselves, and some Pokémon have a unique evolution method. The most common of them is Evolution by leveling up at or above a certain level. Other methods include the following:
*leveling up when [[friendship]] has reached a high level (220 or greater)
*leveling up while holding an item
*leveling up while knowing a certain move or a move of a certain type
*leveling up in a certain location
*[[trade|trading]] the Pokémon
*trading the Pokémon while [[evolution-inducing held item|holding an item]]
*trading the {{p|Karrablast|Pokémon}} for specific {{p|Shelmet|Pokémon}}
*using an [[evolutionary stone]] on it
*leveling up with a certain Pokémon or Pokémon of a certain type in the party
*leveling up while the [[Nintendo 3DS]] is upside-down
*level up or high friendship based on [[Time|time of day]]
*level up a {{p|Sliggoo|Pokémon}} during certain types of [[weather]].
Additionally, holding an [[Everstone]] prevents a Pokémon from evolving, as well as surprising a Pokémon via the B Button. The latter method is known as an "Evolution cancel".

Pokémon that get [[Fainting|knocked out]] during a {{pkmn|battle}} will evolve at the end of that battle if its requirements have been met. However, before [[Generation VI]], losing a battle would make Pokémon not evolve even if the conditions have been met.

Pokémon that can evolve into more than one Pokémon will usually have the ways in which the evolution is activated being slightly similar, such as having both being initiated by [[evolutionary stone]] or by trading while [[held item|holding an item]]. Closely-related Pokémon, such as {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidoran♂}}, will also have very similar, if not identical, evolution methods.

Some Pokémon have different evolutions depending on their gender. For example, only female {{p|Combee}} can evolve into {{p|Vespiquen}}; male Combee cannot evolve at all. Meanwhile, all {{p|Snorunt}} can evolve into {{p|Glalie}}, but female Snorunt have the option of evolving into {{p|Froslass}} instead. This instance occurs in a similar way with {{p|Kirlia}}, albeit with males having split evolution instead.

Also, there have been situations in which the current party must be configured in a specific manner for some Pokémon to evolve. So far, only three Pokémon need to have these special requirements. {{p|Mantyke}} will evolve into {{p|Mantine}} if leveled up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the player's party. {{p|Nincada}} will evolve into {{p|Ninjask}} when it reaches level 20. However, if there happens to be an empty space in the player's party (and a spare [[Poké Ball]] in Generation IV onward), a {{p|Shedinja}} will also appear in the party. {{p|Pancham}} evolves into {{p|Pangoro}} if its level is 32 or higher and there is a Dark-type Pokémon in the player's party.

Some Pokémon evolve in other unique ways. If one trades a {{p|Karrablast}} for a {{p|Shelmet}}, they will evolve into {{p|Escavalier}} and {{p|Accelgor}}, respectively, though neither will evolve if one of them holds an [[Everstone]]. When {{p|Inkay}} reaches level 30, the player must hold the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] upside-down for it to evolve into {{p|Malamar}}. Also introduced was a weather-based evolution: {{p|Sliggoo}} will evolve into {{p|Goodra}} beginning at level 50 only if it is [[rain]]ing in the area that the player is in. Finally, {{p|Sylveon}} can only be obtained by leveling up an {{p|Eevee}} that knows any {{type|Fairy}} moves and has at least two hearts of [[Affection]].

==In the side games==
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
Some missions in [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] involve {{p|Pikachu}} interacting with other Pokémon in certain ways to cause their evolution. In ''Caring for {{p|Caterpie}}'', the player and Pikachu supervise a group of Caterpie, who will evolve into {{p|Metapod}} and then {{p|Butterfree}} if treated well. In ''Field Trip'', Pikachu can water wild {{p|Oddish}} and {{p|Gloom}}, causing them to evolve into Gloom and {{p|Vileplume}}, respectively.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, while evolution typically works as normal in the main series, [[Shadow Pokémon]] are incapable of evolving until they are [[Purification|purified]] and return to normal. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Dakrness, the player's {{p|Eevee}} is incapable of evolving into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} through normal methods, because the game does not have a [[Time]] mechanic. However, early in the game, the player is given their choice of evolution item to evolve it, including the [[Sun and Moon Shards]], [[Key Item]]s that will evolve Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon respectively after it levels up.

===Pokémon Conquest===
In {{g|Conquest}}, because the mechanics of [[level]]s, [[experience]], and [[friendship]] do not exist, Pokémon typically evolve once they reach a certain [[link]] threshold with their partnered [[Warrior]] or [[Warlord]]. Pokémon that normally evolve via high [[friendship]] in the main series games, such as {{p|Golbat}}, instead evolve after reaching a certain link percentage, usually between 60 and 70 percent. Pokémon that normally evolve at a set level instead evolve when a certain [[stat]] reaches a specific value. For example, {{p|Spheal}} evolves when its HP has reached a value of 138, which is partially determined by the link with its Warrior. Warriors with Pokémon that require an [[evolutionary stone]] to evolve must equip themselves with that item and then perform an action that causes their link to improve, such as completing a battle.

===Pokémon Pinball series===
In {{g|Pinball}} and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}, the player can evolve Pokémon they caught in Catch 'Em Mode in a separate mode called Evolution Mode (EVO Mode in Pinball RS). In this mode the player selects an evolution-capable Pokémon in their possession, then guide their ball towards three symbols representative of their method of evolution in the main games, such as EX for [[Level]] evolution, or a [[Link Cable]] for Trade evolution. If the player collects the three symbols in time, they can bring their ball to the Center Hole to evolve their Pokémon, awarding them with their [[Pokédex]] entry and points.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}, evolution is usually restricted until reaching the location where evolution is taking place. Evolution is typically done in a ritual held in several locations across the {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon}}. Pokémon who evolve through unusual methods require an [[Mystery Dungeon evolutionary items|additional item]] to act as a catalyst.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], evolution is held in [[Luminous Cave]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], evolution is held in [[Luminous Spring]]. The player character and their partner may not evolve until they complete an additional scenario.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], Pokémon can evolve as soon as they met the conditions. Due to the fact there is no special location to trigger evolution, evolution not based on items will happen similarly to core series, one attempt per level-up. Enemy Pokémon may evolve after defeating a member of the player's party.

In {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, evolution is held in [[Tree of Life]], with all but level requirements being removed (with the player being given choice for split evolutions). The player and their partner evolve into their final forms several times throughout the story. In addition, connectable Pokémon that exist as NPCs in this game and previous games will refuse evolution. However, because all Pokémon can be recruited separately through the [[Connection Orb]], the player can still access their respective evolved forms in alternate ways. Certain enemies may evolve in specific conditions.

===Pokémon Snap===
In {{g|Snap}}, the player can interact with Pokémon in certain ways that will make them evolve.
* At the end of [[Pokémon Island]]'s [[Pokémon Island Tunnel|Tunnel]] stage, if the player lures the three {{p|Magnemite}} together, they will fuse and become a {{p|Magneton}}.
* At the end of [[Pokémon Island Volcano|Volcano]] stage, if the player knocks a {{p|Charmeleon}} into the crater of magma it is circling around, it will evolve and come out as a {{p|Charizard}}.
* Luring a {{p|Slowpoke}} to a fishing area along the [[Pokémon Island River|River]] will prompt it to fish with its tail, hooking a {{p|Shellder}}, causing it to evolve into {{p|Slowbro}}.
* Hitting the {{p|Grimer}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave]] three times with [[Pester Ball]]s will cause it to evolve into {{p|Muk}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Island Valley|Valley]], completing a series of events will cause a {{p|Magikarp}} to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}}.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:Pokémon GO evolution.png|thumb|150px|Zubat evolving in Pokémon GO]]
In [[Pokémon GO]], the player can evolve Pokémon by spending [[Candy]]. The Candy cost for evolution varies between Pokémon species, ranging from 12 (to evolve {{p|Caterpie}} into {{p|Metapod}}) to 400 (to evolve {{p|Magikarp}} into {{p|Gyarados}}). In Pokémon GO, species that require a [[evolution-inducing held item|held item]] or [[Sun Stone]] to evolve in the core series also require that item to be spent in addition to Candy.

Each evolutionary family has their own kind of Candy. Candy can be obtained by catching or hatching Pokémon of that evolutionary family. The player can also obtain 1 Candy for its evolutionary family by permanently transferring it to [[Professor Willow]].

Normally, {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, or {{p|Flareon}} at random. If Eevee is the current [[Buddy Pokémon]], and has walked at least 10 km with the player and obtained at least two Candies, it will evolve into {{p|Espeon}} in day mode or {{p|Umbreon}} in night mode. However, if Eevee is [[nickname]]d after one of the [[Eevee brothers]] (for Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon) or the [[Kimono Girl]]s in the anime (for Espeon and Umbreon), it will be guaranteed to evolve into the corresponding evolution, although this can only be performed once for each nickname.

{{p|Tyrogue}} evolves into {{p|Hitmonlee}} if {{stat|Attack}} is its highest {{IV}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} if {{stat|Defense}} is its highest, and {{p|Hitmontop}} if {{stat|HP}} is its highest. If there is a tie, it randomly evolves into one of the evolutions corresponding to its highest stat.

{{p|Feebas}} requires walking with it as a buddy Pokémon for 20km as a further requirement for its evolution to {{p|Milotic}}.

{{p|Wurmple}} has an equally random chance to evolve into either {{p|Silcoon}} or {{p|Cascoon}}.

{{-}}

===Pokémon Duel===
[[File:Pokémon Duel evolution.png|thumb|150px|Evolution in Pokémon Duel]]
In [[Pokémon Duel]], before a figure can evolve, the player must own both the pre-evolved figure and the evolved figure. The pre-evolved Pokémon must be set in the deck, and the evolved Pokémon must be set as that figure's evolution. During a duel, the pre-evolved Pokémon will be able to evolve when it wins a battle and either knocks out or displaces its battle opponent. Pokémon can also be evolved by the effects of Attacks, Abilities, and Plates. An evolved figure (including Mega Evolution) will receive +10 to its White and Gold Attacks and +1 ★ to its Purple Attacks. This boost stacks for a Pokémon that has evolved more than once.
{{-}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Slowking evolution anime.png|thumb|right|{{p|Slowpoke}} and {{p|Shellder}} evolving into {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]
[[File:Kakuna evolution anime.png|thumb|200px|left|{{p|Kakuna}} evolving into {{p|Beedrill}} in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'']]
[[File:Shelmet evolution Best Wishes.png|thumb|200px|right|Evolution in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
In the anime, Evolution happens in much the same way as it does in the games; though [[level]]-based evolutions and [[trade]]-based evolutions do not occur using those methods, there are similarities in the way they come about. For example, {{an|Misty}}'s {{p|Poliwhirl}} evolved into {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} because it found {{Ash}}'s [[King's Rock]] and was holding it when Misty sent it out, while in the games it is required that Poliwhirl be traded while holding the King's Rock for the evolution to take place (it should be noted that Poliwhirl had been through a machine in connection with it being healed at the Pokémon Center, while holding the item). When a {{p|Beedrill}} attacked Ash's {{p|Metapod}}, it caused a crack to appear on its shell, which {{AP|Butterfree}} came out of (although later examples of Metapod evolving into Butterfree were treated as the more familiar form of evolution used in the anime).

Additionally, a difference can be seen in the fact that Pokémon evolve ''during'' a battle, as opposed to after it. Pokémon may also evolve when they are needed to, for an extra boost of power or gaining new abilities, instead of after a set amount of training, such as when Ash's {{p|Charmeleon}} evolved into {{AP|Charizard}} to battle an Aerodactyl just three episodes after it evolved from Charmander, where the game requires Charmeleon to grow twenty levels to reach that stage. In addition, Pokémon can sometimes choose not to evolve, even if they evolve by a 'natural' method such as leveling up. This was shown when [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] refused to evolve during an evolution festival for all Bulbasaur to evolve in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''. It appears that Evolution has emotional implications for Pokémon - some Pokémon, such as Team Rocket's {{MTR}}, dislike their evolved forms, while others such as [[Ash's Pikachu]] simply want to prove they can be powerful without evolving. Conversely, when Pokémon do evolve, this can often be linked with an experience that causes them to mature emotionally or deal with an emotional issue, such as when the {{p|Poochyena}} in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]'' evolved, or the {{p|Paras}} in ''[[EP044|The Problem With Paras]]''. Poochyena, for some reason, had an aversion to using the move {{m|Bite}}, while Paras was extremely timid and weak in battle. Both of them evolved shortly after overcoming these issues.

When a Pokémon begins to evolve, it will be enveloped by a brightly-colored light while slowly changing form; in the {{series2|original}}, {{series2|Advanced Generation}}, and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, the light is simply white in color while in the {{series2|Best Wishes}} and {{series|XY}}, the light is blue in color. In the {{series|Sun & Moon}}, different evolution effects were introduced depending on which Pokémon is evolving; for instance, when {{an|Mallow}}'s {{p|Bounsweet}} evolved into {{TP|Mallow|Steenee}}, it shined pink and the physical changes that came with the evolution could be seen happening. Although some Pokémon returned to the old-style evolution effect (for instance, {{p|Sandygast}} into {{p|Palossand}} and {{p|Mareanie}} into {{p|Toxapex}}), others have been seen with completely new effects (notably {{AP|Rockruff}} and {{AP|Litten}}).

For a list of all evolutions that Pokémon belonging to the main cast have undergone, see [[List of anime Pokémon by evolution]].

==In the manga==

Evolution is portray differently across manga adaptations. For example, in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Pokémon are capable to evolve whenever they wish, and they revert to previous evolution stages. It seems that Pokémon can skip evolution stages as well, as is the case with [[Green's Charizard|Green's Charmander]] when it skips its {{p|Charmeleon}} stage and evolves directly into {{p|Charizard}}.

==In the TCG==
'''Evolution''' in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is very similar in some aspects to its counterpart in the [[core series]]. However, it differs mostly in the fact that there are no different methods needed to evolve a Pokémon, but instead, all Pokémon evolve simply by placing the next stage on top of a Pokémon in play that it evolves into.

Pokémon cannot be evolved on the first turn of the game or on the first turn they come into play. They also cannot be evolved if on the same turn they were previously evolved or devolved.

===Stages of evolution===
There are four different stages of evolution in the TCG, Baby Pokémon, Basic Pokémon, Stage 1 Pokémon, and Stage 2 Pokémon. Of these, only Baby and Basic Pokémon may be placed onto the Bench during the setup phase and during play; Stage 1 and Stage 2 Pokémon are considered to be evolution cards and therefore unable to be played except on top of their corresponding pre-evolved forms. The stage of evolution is indicated in a conspicuous place on each and every Pokémon card, though the placement differs among the four generations of cards.

Within the deck and discard pile, only Stage 1 and Stage 2 cards are considered to be "evolution cards" for the purpose of a Trainer card or Pokémon Power which allows them to be searched for. In play, a Basic Pokémon card can be considered an evolution card if it is evolved from its Baby stage.

====Baby Pokémon====
{{main|Baby Pokémon#In the TCG|Baby Pokémon}}
A Baby Pokémon is much the same in the TCG as it is in the core series of games. In fact, as with baby Pokémon released beyond [[Generation II]], it is not even necessary for a Pokémon to even go through this stage of their evolutionary line, as the Pokémon can just start from their basic form. Baby Pokémon are among the weakest in the TCG, most often having 30 HP, as well as one of two special {{TCG|Poké-Body}}s: one prevents all damage done to the Baby Pokémon while it is Asleep (Baby Pokémon with this Poké-Body also usually have an attack that changes their status to Asleep), and the other forces a Pokémon attempting to attack the Baby Pokémon to flip a coin, the attack doing nothing if that coin ends up tails.

====Basic Pokémon====
A Basic Pokémon is the most basic of Pokémon cards, as can be deduced from its name. Commonly basic Pokémon will have low HP, a common rarity, and low damage and {{TCG|Energy card|Energy}} costs. These cards can be placed directly into play without another Pokémon card needing to be in play first. Pokémon that evolve from a Pokémon released in a later generation, such as {{p|Electabuzz}} or {{p|Pikachu}}, always are basic Pokémon, despite being the second Pokémon in their own evolutionary lines. [[Baby Pokémon]], {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}}, {{TCG|Pokémon ☆|Pokémon}} {{Star}}, {{TCG|Pokémon SP}}, and {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}} are always Basic, and the latter four cannot evolve.

====Stage 1 Pokémon====
A Stage 1 Pokémon are the first kind of evolution card, being able to be evolved from a Basic Pokémon. Stage 1 cards are most commonly uncommon in rarity. Stage 1 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Stage 2 Pokémon====
A Stage 2 Pokémon is the highest of evolution cards, commonly rare or holographic in rarity, and can only, in normal conditions, be evolved from a Stage 1 Pokémon. Stage 2 Pokémon are also able to be {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} and {{TCG|Light Pokémon}}.

====Mega Evolution====
{{main|Mega Evolution#In the TCG|Mega Evolution}}
M Pokémon-EX cards were introduced in {{TCG|XY}} [[#Expansion|expansion]] and introduce the '''Mega Evolution''' mechanic featured in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. They are identified by a stylized {{Mega}} graphic on the card name. M Pokémon-EX can only be played by Mega Evolving from basic {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Doing so ends a players {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Turn}} immediately. Other than this, M Pokémon-EX share the same rules and design as regular Pokémon-EX and evolving Pokémon, with the addition of boosted {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Hit Points}} and more powerful {{DL|Appendix:Glossary (TCG)|Attack}}s.

===Ability to evolve===
A Pokémon card that is in the player's hand must say specifically that it evolves from a Pokémon card that is in play on the player's side. For example, {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Blastoise|3}} states on the card "'''Evolves from Dark Wartortle'''". This means that any card named Dark Wartortle may be evolved into Dark Blastoise. However, a card simply named Wartortle cannot. Likewise, Pokémon such as {{TCG ID|EX Emerald|Rhyhorn|62}} cannot be evolved into a Pokémon that says on it "'''Evolves from Team Magma's Rhyhorn'''".

However, Pokémon cards from different sets may evolve into one another. For example, {{TCG ID|Neo Destiny|Dark Crobat|2}} can evolve from either {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Golbat|7}} of the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set or {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Dark Golbat|34}} of the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} set. So long as the card names match precisely both to (here Dark Crobat) and from (here Dark Golbat), the evolution is legal. This rule, of course, can be circumvented by certain means, such as {{TCG|Pokémon Power}}s and {{TCG|Trainer card}}s, however, this is not common.

==In relation to the real world==
Evolution in Pokémon is closer to the real-life phenomenon of {{wp|metamorphosis}} rather than {{wp|evolution|actual evolution}}, as real-life evolution happens to populations over a long period of time, not to individuals. In the Pokémon Adventures manga, it is mentioned that Pokémon Evolution is an entirely separate phenomenon from the normal process of evolution, and is a mysterious ability exclusive to Pokémon that is still not fully understood. In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], it is described in the health class at the school in [[Serene Village]] as when a Pokémon's body rapidly grows larger with many other changes bringing a Pokémon closer to being an adult, being described akin to {{wp|puberty}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Alolan Evolution VII.png|thumb|250px|right|{{p|Pikachu}} evolving into an {{alo|Raichu}}, depicted in [[Generation VII]]]]
*{{p|Eevee}} and {{p|Feebas}} are the only two Pokémon that reach their next evolutionary forms in multiple ways. Whereas in the handheld games, Eevee becomes {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] depending on the [[time]] of day, in {{Pokémon XD}} it evolves when leveled up with high friendship and the [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard or Moon Shard]] in the [[Bag]]. This is because Pokémon XD, like {{g|Colosseum}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, lacks a time function. Feebas, meanwhile, evolves into {{p|Milotic}} when its [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty condition]] is high, which cannot be done in the [[Generation V]] games or {{g|X and Y}} unless the Feebas had its Beauty condition raised in [[Generation III]], [[Generation IV]], or [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] previously. Due to this, the [[Prism Scale]] was introduced, so that Feebas caught in the wild or bred in [[Generation V]] onward would be able to evolve freely.
* Of all non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} and non-[[Mythical Pokémon]], 90.87% are part of an evolutionary line.
** Counting Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, 84.19% of all Pokémon are part of an evolutionary line.
* [[Generation III]] introduced the most Pokémon that do not evolve, with 18.
** Generations {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|VI}} are tied for the fewest, with just five each.
* In [[Generation VII]], [[regional variant|Alolan Pokémon]] and Pokémon that evolve into Alolan Pokémon have a different theme and a different colored background during evolution.

==Something for you to know==
One of the benefits as to why I make a trivia note with the Pokémon Adventures chapters of the recent Viz Mini-volumes is to list alternate volumes than what is seen in the template. Therefore in the future once the correct chapter numbers are identified and the numbers for the larger volumes as well, you could personally update that list to include the volume number of the Japanese mini-volume in any way you see fit. Thought this was the time to tell you about this plan. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:41, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

Would you happen to know the abilities of Emerald's Sudowoodo and Dusclops or the level of Pibu?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 12:45, 11 August 2017 (UTC)
:For whatever reason, some Pokemon, such as Pibu and Foongy, are listed as "00" for their levels. I have no idea if this is a text error or they want to keep it hidden. I assume the former. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 01:52, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

== Blue's Pumpkaboo? ==

When you recently uploaded an image about what you apparently presumed to be "{{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Pumpkaboo}}", I was honestly shaking my head. That scene with Pumpkaboo had [[Diantha]] in it too, right? And wasn't the Pumkaboo right next to her? And, most notably, '''doesn't Diantha own a {{p|Gourgeist}} in the games?''' I thought it was pretty obvious that the Pumpkaboo was hers and '''not''' Blue's. Am I right, do you know something I don't, or am I right? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:09, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

== Voice actors having potential articles ==
Hi, I'm aware that you're part of Project Anime and although this is a question regarding voice actors, I'm wondering if you could help answer these questions as I think that the Project VA staff aren't active right now. The question is are these voice actors notable enough for their own pages due to some notable voice roles:
*Keiji Fujiwara? Played Mewtwo in SSB4 and Maxie of Team Magma
*Masataka Azuma? Played Roark in the anime who played a few roles outside of the gym battle
*Takuya Eguchi? Played Blue from Pokemon: The Origins who was one of the main characters
*Atsuko Enomoto? Played Solana who was very significant in the Pokemon Ranger episodes of the anime
*Minami Fuji? Played Trevor in the anime who appeared multiple times
*Hisao Egawa: Played the numerous Don Georges who appeared throughout the BW series
*Sho Hayami? Played Juan and Ghetsis(generations)
*Yurie Kobori? Played Shauna who was pretty significant
*Ken'yu Horiuchi? Played Cedric Juniper and the announcer in Battle Revolution.
*Anri Katsu? Played Tierno who was a recurring role in the XY series
*Shinji Kawada? Played Eusine who was prominent in the Legend of Thunder special
*Tokuyoshi Kawashima? Played a handful of roles, including Colress in generations and Lance in Pokemon: The Origin
*Rikiya Koyama? Notably played Giovanni within Generations as well as a handful of roles
*Kozo Mito? Played Conway who appeared multiple times during the DP anime
*Nana Mizuki? Played Victini who was prominent in M14
*Hitomi Nabatame? Notably played a handful of roles, including Clemont's Chespin who appeared frequently throughout the XY series
*Keiichi Nakagawa? Played Professor Kukui who appears a lot in the SM series
*Toru Nara? Played Flint of the Elite Four who appears frequently in the DP series
*Rintaro Nishi? Played Steven Stone who appeared once in AG but numerous times throughout XY series, including in specials
*Masako Nozawa? Played Morrison who appeared a lot in AG series
*Reiko Takashima? Played MEwtwo from the BW series who appears often, including in specials

==Question==
Now that Epilogue has been confirmed as the official english title for the final round of the X and Y chapter and that it is already the official title for the final round of the Emerald chapter, do you want to consider converting the Epilogue redirect link into a disambiguation page instead? -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 03:04, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

==Shauna's Skitty==
In the english translation of [[PAXY38]], it has been verified that the new official english name of Shauna's Skitty as "Kitty" unlike [[PAXY30]] which was Neko. Since this is more literal translation and likely needs to be updated, I need some help updating the template on Shauna's page to reflect the name difference. Also the character profiles after the last chapter does verify the new nickname.

One last note is that X's [[Marisso]] is listed at LV. 49 (instead of 59) in the profiles. Odds are it is production error, but could you also check the original source since I do not have access to it. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 16:58, 4 October 2017 (UTC)

==Template Help==
Hi! Do you think you can update [[Template:Pokémon Infobox]] (specifically USUM dex) and [[Template:HeldItems]] to include USUM input, or pass it along to someone who could? I'm sure if they were updated lots would be glad to help fill out the missing USUM info. Thanks. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 13:34, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

==Maxie's Camerupt/Xerosic's Malamar==
Are [[User:Reinhartmax/Maxie's Camerupt]] and [[User:Reinhartmax/Xerosic's Malamar]] ready to be mainspaced? {{unsigned|Reinhartmax}}
:No and no. Neither are notable enough for an article, especially not Malamar. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:33, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

== Red Links ==

In [[Pokémon manga]], some titles are red links. Are they notable? [[User:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|RubyLeafGreenCrystal]] ([[User talk:RubyLeafGreenCrystal|talk]]) 04:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
:Any manga is notable, but without actual info on them, an article isn't really needed. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 04:12, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

==Pokemon Adventures Sun & Moon issue==
Right now for the individual volume pages for the Japanese releases of the SM volumes, the volume list link at the top of the page reads it as ''List of Pocket Monsters Special Sun Moon volumes'' which is causing a red link. Right now the volume list page is titled as ''List of Pokémon Adventures SM volumes''. Obviously it needs to moved, but if you do it, it will prevent a redirect from being created and that would be less messy so I wouldn't have to post a delete tag on the redirect. Besides that the Sun & Moon chapter page will also need this update. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 02:41, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

== Blake's Genesect ==

It has been over a year since this has been asked so I was wondering if [[User:Rahl/Blake's Genesect]] now has enough to be considered for mainspacing?

:I'm currently going through computer issues, so I can barely edit, let alone move pages. Heck, replying to this message wasn't easy. And even if could move the page, I'd prefer not to, as I'm still waiting to see if it'll receive a proper nickname. I'd rather not have to move it, only to have to move it again and presumably another time if VIZ changes its nickname. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 16:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Is [[User:FinnishPokéFan92/Platinum's Froslass|this]] ready to be mainspaced? {{unsigned|Reinhartmax}}

== Main Space Articles ==
Got several articles on my [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:BigDocFan]], was wondering if any of them were ready to be main spaced? {{unsigned|BigDocFan}}
:I'm sorry, but I focus on manga-related articles specifically, thank you. You'll have to ask someone else. Also, remember to sign your comments with four tildes. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 23:44, 20 March 2018 (UTC)

I have an article about {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Froslass}} under my user page that's been kinda just lying around for a while now. Could it be mainspaced? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 12:20, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

== Moon's Rotom Pokedex ==

Is the page [[User:Rahl/Moon's Rotom]] ready to be mainspaced? It is obviously an important character of the chapter and has enough information as of now for its own page.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 17:46, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

== Sun's Meowth ==

Due to the change in names my page [[User:Rahl/Dollar (Adventures)]] needs to be moved to reflect the change. I was wondering if the page could be mainspaced as well, as it is only going to get more information and now would be a good time with the naming switch.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 00:46, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Eevee users

2018-05-20T11:49:22Z

Veralann:

The '''Eevee users''' are a group of nine {{pkmn|Trainer}}s around [[Alola]] who use {{p|Eevee}} or one of [[Eeveelution|its evolved forms]]. Each of these Trainers has a unique {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} based on the Pokémon they use, such as Eevee or Vaporeon User. These Trainers constitute a challenge that the player can undertake after they become the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

At the Thrifty Megamart at [[Royal Avenue]], Kagetora, a man at the leftmost cash register, will initially tell the player to visit him again once they become the strongest Trainer in Alola. When the player speaks to him after becoming the Champion, he will explain that he's looking for a capable Trainer to defeat eight Trainers he was always trying to beat 30 years ago: the other Eevee users. He promises to reward the player if they can manage this feat.

Prior to speaking to Kagetora, the player will not be able to find any of the other Eevee users anywhere. They only appear once the player is tasked with finding them.

==Trainer list==
===Vaporeon User Polly===
Polly used to be a {{tc|Swimmer}} called the Wild Whirlpool of Alola. The player can find her on the third floor of the {{al|Trainers' School}} on {{rt|1|Alola}}, where she works as a cleaning lady with the help of her Vaporeon.

Linnea was a beautiful, world-famous model. The player can find her at the north end of [[Hano Beach]], near the [[Hano Grand Resort]] where she always stayed between jobs.

===Sylveon User Kira===
Kira is the granddaughter of the original Sylveon User, Sakura, who was a pure woman who {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon adored like a queen. She was a descendant of the seafolk, but, unbeknownst to Kagetora, she passed away a year ago. The player can find Kira, who takes care of Sylveon now, in the [[Seafolk Village]], in the {{p|Steelix}} ship in the east. According to Kira, Sakura also tried to teach her about battling before she passed away.

'''Tapu Lele''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カプ・テテフ''' ''Kapu-Tetefu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

It is the [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]] of [[Akala Island]], with {{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}}, and {{p|Tapu Fini}} being the deities of the other islands.

==Biology==
Tapu Lele has a black torso and pink curly hair. Its eyes are blue with pink lines at the middle of the iris. Its arms are thin, and its digitless hands are separated by thick pink "bracelets". Its shell has markings similar to a face and have small, butterfly-like wings at the back. The top is cone-shaped and resembles a hat of some sort. When closed, the shell resembles a bug with a curled mouth at the bottom.

The guardian of [[Akala Island]] is known to scatter glowing scales, which affect others by stimulating and healing their bodies; however, these scales are also dangerous if too many are touched at once. For this, some consider it to be cruel for the way it destroys others as it scatters its scales for its own amusement. An old legend says that Tapu Lele ended a war between [[Alola]]'s islands by healing the tired warriors with its scales, but rumors point to a more disturbing truth behind this story. Its strength comes from the energy stored within its shell. If Tapu Lele finds itself at a disadvantage in battle, it will prioritize not outright losing as opposed to trying for a decisive victory.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/tapu-lele</ref>

===Major appearances===
====[[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime#Tapu Lele|Tapu Lele (anime)]]====
Tapu Lele debuted in ''[[SM020|Partner Promises!]]'', where {{Ash}} encountered it along with {{AP|Pikachu}}. It was seen floating over the ocean, and scattered its glowing scales on Ash to heal the wounds he got while rescuing a trapped {{p|Wimpod}}, after which it took off into the sky. After Ash returned to [[Professor Kukui]]'s house, {{an|Rotom Pokédex}} identified it as Tapu Lele. It has since made further reappearances throughout the {{series|Sun & Moon}}.

==In the manga==

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Tapu Lele first appeared in a fantasy in ''[[PASM02|The Delivery of Rotom and the Girl]]''. [[Olivia]] and her fellow [[Island Kahuna|Kahunas]] noted that the guardian deities had been angered by something, as they were spotted by people at their respective islands despite usually being reclusive. Later, Tapu Lele was seen in person flying above [[Lush Jungle]], where it was attacked by a {{p|Xurkitree}} emerging from an [[Ultra Wormhole]].

==Trivia==
* Tapu Lele shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Tapu Koko}}, {{p|Tapu Bulu}} and {{p|Tapu Fini}}. They are all known as the Land Spirit Pokémon.

===Origin===
Tapu Lele appears to be based on a {{wp|butterfly}} emerging from its chrysalis. It may also be inspired by {{wp|Kāne}}, one of the four major Hawaiian gods. Kāne is a creator god, bestowing life into the first human in Hawaiian mythology.

====Name origin====
Tapu Lele may be a combination of ''tapu'' (Hawaiian for sacred or holy) and ''pulelehua'' (Hawaiian for butterfly).

Kapu-Tetefu may be a combination of ''kapu'' (Hawaiian for sacred or holy) and てふてふ ''tefutefu'' (an {{wp|Historical kana orthography|old way of writing}} butterfly).

* When Ash and his Pokémon get hit by the scent from the tree, the fur on Lycanroc's left cheek is colored white instead of orange.
* Despite Rowlet flying backwards as Lycanroc appears to throw it away out of anger, Lycanroc never actually touched Rowlet.

== Incomplete reasons ==

"Missing information" isn't a good descriptor to use for incomplete notices; that first one should've been clarified awhile ago so people don't have to ask, as you did. Put the stuff that needs to be added instead. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 18:04, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
:Sorry, should it be then needs 'items and languages boxes' if they dont have any or what did you mean by languages sections? --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 18:10, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
::The links between Pokémonis sites are interwiki links. In other language sections are what we have at the bottom of [[Bicycle#In other languages|most]] [[Sky Battle#In other languages|articles]] (sometimes it's called Names). [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 18:53, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
:::Yes exactly Thank you I will get right on to it. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 19:32, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

== PMD TMs ==

I remember there being a guide on GameFAQs that listed the items that could spawn within the dungeons and what items the shops could sell. Not sure if there's one for Explorers, though. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 14:59, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

:Do you mean this http://www.gamefaqs.com/ds/938930-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-explorers-of-darkness/faqs/57222 then I am not sure I if can count on this as reliable source though, but I will take it to consideration and see for my self if it's correct. But it's right about Beach Cave and Drenched Bluff so far so thank you alot for the tip. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 16:03, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

==Glitch==
To answer your questions:
#I have no idea, I did not have the intention of recruiting it, I was just simply searching the mountain passes for Sky Gifts, although I could not have recruited it if I tried (around level 70, and no Golden Mask/Ember Tear)
#Kecleons were indeed spawned, but did not appear on the next floor.
#This was triggered by a trap directly next to the shop in my case, although I am sure it could be activated manually with Selfdestruct/Explosion.

It was pure accident, by the way, I saw a Kecleon shop, decided to check it out, nothing interesting there, and when I stepped off it, I happened to set of a selfdestruct trap. The Kecleon was damaged due to it, but no items were in the blast radius. Then I noticed my partner attacked the Kecleon, so I decided to attack it too until it fainted. Nothing really happened, so I then tried to take something (a Gummi) and leave the shop, since there was no Kecleon. I was then labeled a thief despite the shopkeeper being knocked out, and then the normal effects of thievery occurred: music change and super fast Kecleons spawned. I used my Mobile Scarf to head to the stairs (I knocked out a Kecleon in the process, nothing special happened) and on the next floor, everything was normal. (if I remember correctly, the Kecleon will still attack you when you move to the next floor, although that might only be in Red/Blue)

I did not find anything else unique about it though; but it would be easy to replicate with Selfdestruct or Explosion for more experimentation.

:Edit: Kecleon appeared on the recruitment list afterwards, meaning they (should) be able to be recruited. Also, apparently they will not appear on the next floor even if you steal "normally"
:Not sure if this is really a glitch, or a strange oversight, though. [[User:BetaT|BetaT]] ([[User talk:BetaT|talk]]) 21:15, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
::Thank you for taking your time answering my questions and thank you for answering so precise, apriciate it. By the way if you move on to the next floor in Explorers of Darkness and Time all the Kecleons should be gone, I honestly didn't even know that they followed you to the next floor in Red/Blue Rescue team. Intresting thing that they appear on the recruit list i know that they could be recruited but I did not think that they would appear on the recruit list --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 16:12, 10 June 2015 (UTC)

== Answer: Interwiki links ==
What do you mean? I only added a name, that's all! Beacause I can speak Dutch. {{unsigned|Lokki}}
:What I meant was that [[fr:Bulbizarre]], [[de:Bisasam]]and [[pl:Bulbasaur]] link to [[Poképédia]], [[Pokéwiki]] and [[Wikinezka]] respectivly and {{red link|nl:Bulbasaur}} could theoreticly link to a similar site if they were a member of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis I thought you knew of a site that you thought could been linked to thats all. And for adding Dutch to the in other languages section I consider it not notisable since allmost all languages in europe with the latin alphabet uses that name such as Swedish, Norweigian, Danish, Portuguese, Dutch, Finish, Albanish, and so on and so on therefor only add when it is different from english in some way like Bisasam. Thats why I removed it. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] ([[User talk:Raltseye|talk]]) 15:16, 29 June 2015 (UTC)

== Templates ==

Hello, please don't edit templates without admin permission, especially a template that being used on multiple articles. I'll let your edit slide, but if you want to make further edits to the Fansite template (or any other template) just let me or any other admin know. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:43, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
:Please don't just move a template just because you got no response. No response does not mean you can move it. I know you asked me, I've asked the other admins for their opinions but they've been really busy the past few weeks, so I had nothing to respond with. So in future, just be patient.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:15, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

==Userspace limits==
Hello. I have noticed that you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently, and have made a total of 4+ userspace edits today. Please do not edit the userspace any more, as the {{bp|userspace policy}} limits the amount you can edit your userpage: No more than three edits per day (by {{wp|UTC}}), and you must contribute to the {{bp|mainspace}} more than you edit your user page(s). This policy was instated to promote people helping out in the mainspace, and also to control strain on our servers. Bulbapedia is an encyclopedia, after all, so help us out by contributing to some articles before coming back to your personal page(s). The more often you edit in the mainspace, the more you will be allowed to edit your user page(s). Thank you. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:51, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

== Passwords ==

I stumbled upon a passwords post at GameFAQs. I have tested all North American passwords, and all work, so this leads me to believe the others will work. I've rearranged them into the stage order (S04-07 was before S03-06 for some reason), but I need to verify which stage of Area 05 the latter two each unlocks as I had not cleared S05-06 and paid attention. Can you go and tackle S05-06 and then use one of those two passwords? After using it, check whether S05-07 or S05-08 was unlocked; whichever is not is unlocked by the other password. Passwords are listed on the main article and anything outside my region is marked as "untested" for now. Cheers! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:42, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
:Well I can now confirm that the first code unlocks 05-07 in PAL which rather seems more like europe since Australia is not included and if they are all correct downwards I will just change this and it'll be correct I guess. --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 18:07, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
::Awesome. I left "''S05-0''" in both columns on the article, so I'll update that finding. I thought 05-07 would be first, but wanted a confirmation rather than guessing. I finished that puzzle just now; I earlier did Ash-Greninja while out, but made a mistake somewhere and had to erase a chunk in the middle, then pause and close the system to finish later due to energy. Longest solve yet at 15 minutes and change. LOL Thanks! =) [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:44, 5 December 2015 (UTC)

== Stage Data ==

I have news for you. I just got someone to do a data rip and it turns out there are missions for ALT World stages. So what we're doing for 1-30 right now we have to do again for 1-30 in the Alt World.

I am not sure what the total Picrite rewards are, but seeing that data tells me that we have more than enough to earn back in the Alt World. I'm going to clear through Area 10 and then I might think about moving into there after reviewing the missions for Alt World to see if I can do all of them. The missions include things like "avoid setting any legendary or mythical Pokémon" and "avoid setting any Pokémon", though some have things like "avoid using any reveal skills". Since there is likely a time goal, and likely the fourth for doing all missions, it suggests there are 6 Picrites possible per stage again, meaning for an average of 7 Pokémon per area, over 10 areas (I know, one has three, one has five...work with me here), you're still looking at a possible 6*7*10=420 Picrites just for those 70 possible stages. 300 for Alt World now seems like a worthwhile investment.

Going to post this finding at GameFAQs right now, in fact. I've asked for editing power over the sheet so that I can decode everything, after which I can copy every single task in. Continue as you are for now, and I'll start from the back, eventually working over to Alt World. After you reach where I add to, all you have to do when I'm done is verify that I didn't code anything incorrectly when entering the goals and I'll do the same in both worlds as well.

Also sharing this news with Lanthanum. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
:I am all ready there and it costs 300 Picrites to unlock and it is the same levels as standard mode with Mega Picross (you know these with mega rows or what they are called), harder missions as noted and no Picrite or Mural Tile revards and they do also follow your progress in standard mode atleast for starters. I just tried to clear one level to far so to speak there and I proceeded strangely enough to the next level which I had not cleared in standard mode. --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 10:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
::This is good information, actually. It's possible to play the game in Alt World, then go back to the normal mode and play the stages in whatever order you choose? It gives the idea to start playing in Alt World at Area 05 and then continuing through to Areas 21 and 22, then go back and do the missions with the Pokémon needed from those worlds in Normal Mode. If that works. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:11, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

== PMD: GTI in Korean ==

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]] wasn't released in Korean (neither was PSMD), so there shouldn't be any Korean names for dungeons on their pages. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 22:54, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
:Thank you for pointing that out. I assumed that it had been released in Korea because some other PMDGTI pages had Korean names ''fake'' I guess, they have been removed now. --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 23:32, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

==Interwiki==
I know you want them "only" when the pages on the relatives wiki are already created, but be sure I put them always before I create them on PCW. If you are able to wait some minutes, you'll note that those interwikis will have a destination. It's a way for me to remember them and to put pages under special observing. Bye.--[[User:Franky7|Franky7]] ([[User talk:Franky7|talk]]) 18:00, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
:Yes, but it took you 16 min to do that and I waited 7 minutes so I thought you had forgot. Besides I think it would be safer to add them when the page has been created incase you would forget. --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 19:20, 7 March 2016 (UTC)
::Yeah, 16 o 25 minutes are not infinity =) but I want to make you sure that I'll add them only while I'm creating, I'll never add interwikies linked to nowhere ^^--[[User:Franky7|Franky7]] ([[User talk:Franky7|talk]]) 13:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
:::Other people might not know that though :/ I understand your thinking, so I won't do that anymore, unless it goes by a day or a half ;) --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 15:58, 8 March 2016 (UTC)
::::Thanks, I won't disappoint you XD!--[[User:Franky7|Franky7]] ([[User talk:Franky7|talk]]) 13:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

== Redirects ==

:Squishy's Swedish name origin has been added, and boy might I say that is a might cute name, Kletis. About Stand Tall and Be a Hero, I'll add Stand Tall when get the time in the coming days here since I'm also currently adding the Diamond and Pearl series lyrics from [http://www.pokemon.com/se/pokemon-avsnitt/ pokemon.com/se] I'll add those first then Stand Tall and then Be a Hero.

== Wikisimpsons and Pokémon references ==

Hey, just want to thank you for getting it sorted to use Wikisimpsons links on the page. I appreciate it and felt like it wouldn't have been right to ask myself. Also, we have [https://simpsonswiki.com/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon a page on Wikisimpsons] with a huge list of Pokemon references and I notice not all of them are on the article here. Would you be willing to add the missing ones in? Thanks, ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 23:07, 26 May 2016 (UTC)
:Thank you for the appreciation, and thank ''you'' for telling me about the list, I'll add that shortly. I don't know what order we had with the episodes before but I'm changing it to season.

== Aegislash ==

Alright, I have currently moved your edit to the NPC Appearance section for now, since that would be the place for it, if appropriate. Just to make sure, do you believe that the Aegislash is notable enough to go there? I ask since I do not own the game and am unsure of their connection to the events of the game. If you do not believe so, then the edit might need to be removed. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 19:44, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:Actually he only says that he is called Gilbrand, and his name is still displayed as Aegislash. And no he has nothing to do with the story. His exact line is;

They call me Gilbrand. 
It means shield and sword.

:--[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 20:02, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::So then, let us start with the beginning. According to [[Bulbapedia:Project_Pokédex/Structure]], the NPC appearances section is for "Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary." Now, [[User:Zesty Cactus]] has admitted that it is a bit outdated in the last edit, but I do think that there needs to be something that makes it needed to be listed in that section. The second point is about the word "Gilbrand." More specifically, the lack of a word. Are you sure that the spelling is "Gilbrand" and not something different as it does not seem to even exist as a reference or anything. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Yepp, as sure as one can be. I have the game in my hands as we speak and it does indeed say Gilbrand, and I do agree with you that it does not make any sense since I have also tried to google it with no avail. He is not necessary for the story either, that's why I put it in the trivia section in the first place. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 20:35, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::::Alright, I think I do have it in the end. Aegislash is called "Gillguard" in Japanese. As already noted on the article, gild can mean "to cover with a layer of gold." Meanwhile, the word brand can have the meaning of "sword." Of course, that is against what Aegislash says, so there might be more to this in the end. Outside of that, I am not fully sure if it should stay. I do see that Abcboy did not remove it, but they might not have the game either. It all depends on if it can be considered "necessary" to note, if that still applies to articles. So, if someone else does end up removing it, then there might not be anything left to say. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:41, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

== Rockin' Lock ==

Hi! Just a thing regardingRockin' Lock which I've brought here because I thought it would be faster/not that important. I did once say it might be better to remove the "Klefki's" part of the name, but then if you look at the descriptions used in the [[treasure box]]es (e.g. Hard Box, there aren't many there yet), they use "Klefki's Rockin' Lock"). Now I think "Klefki's Rockin' Lock" is the full name and "Rockin' Lock" is its shortened name. What are your thoughts? Regardless, I don't think it would be necessary anymore to state that the official website is wrong since it's used in-game. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 04:56, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
:Yes, or it might be used to emphasize the point that Klefki is running that shop rather than calling the shop by that name, I mean he does say "Welcome to Rockin' Lock!" and if you press the info option "I can crack any lock here at Rockin' Lock!" so that's my guess. Therefore it's not part of the name rather there to tell who's running that shop. But I do agree with you that we can remove the trivia. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 05:11, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Hello, Raltseye! Can I add the Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon categories to [[User:Raltseye/List of categories in other languages|your list]]?

== Hit Points ==

Hi. Well... I don't know whether I really don't get the logic Abcboy and you are using there, or whether you're just mistaken. (Plus, recent ''very'' reliable scientific empirical studies indicate that it's impossible for me to be wrong or mistaken.)

Well, seriously, I'm kinda a native German speaker, and I can assure you that "Kraftpunkte" is the proper [http://www.crodict.com/nouns/german/Punkt.html nominative plural]. So, unless I'm mistaken, we should use that!? I'm a bit hesitant to undo twice, so I'd rather clear this up. I guess you're the more experienced editor at language sections. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:43, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
:Huh I didn't know that, and here I thought that it was always n in the end for plural in German, fun to learn something new every day. Anyway I'll just go right ahead and change that then.

Secondly, I don't know how you edit because I don't know you, but I can for starters tell you to always link using these ([]) so your link above would be <code><nowiki>[[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture]]</nowiki></code> instead, ending up like this [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture]], and remember to review and sign your comments before you save them.

The point here is that the text in the section was written before all Gen6 Pokémon had been revealed, so it says that Porygon2 is the only non-legendary pre-Gen6 Pokémon to appear apart from PorygonZ. However now all Gen6 Pokémon have been revealed, so the "pre-Gen6" condition is no longer relevant. But now not all Gen7 Pokémon have been revealed, because Magearna has appeared but not others. So I still think my change is necessary? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 12:49, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon items ==

Excuse me, but I happened to see your template proposal, and I thought you might want to add a • after Gracidea. Also, is there a reason not to change "Emera" and "Key" to their plural forms?

(This is not directly about the template anymore, but...) I don't know if you're a PSMD player, but if you are, you might be able and willing to create a page on crowns that are awarded if you collect all of the Ancient Treasures, Golden Items, etc.!? I stumbled across them on the German wiki while creating dungeon pages; info can be found on {{de|Kronen}}, or {{de|Schätze der Welt}}, or [http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/160809-pokemon-super-mystery-dungeon/faqs/73358 here].

[[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:21, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
:Done. Why yes I must certainly am a PSMD player but I have not gotten that far in the game I guess.

::::::::Okay then, I'll try to have something up by this time tomorrow, at latest.

== in other languages template use ==

Why is the "tt" template better than the "sup" template in the other languages section? The thing is, let's take a page, for instance, the items, what is in Pokémon Red they call it an Item but then they later call it an object in Pokémon X version, many stars (*) would be pretty messy right? I thought that the sup template was created for this purpose. Long story short, I was thinking of doing something like [[Dungeon_tile#In_other_languages|this]]. What do you think? [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 03:14, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:Yes I do agree that sup is better to use then tt, but that's only when it's differated between games. The names you was Canadian French used in the manual for Blue Rescue Team, right?

== Regions ==

I think the list of the [[region]]s is necessary for the "Structure" section on the [[Pokémon world]] page. The listing of all the mainland regions goes along with the next few sentences that state that the archipelago regions stem off of the previously listed regions. Without listing the mainland regions, it is [[Unown|unknown]] what regions the archipelago stem off from. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 00:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
:No I think not, the list is unnecessary since such a list is more needed on the page for regions. The section is not for detailing how many regions there are and how they work.

== Danish ==
In Showdown at Dark City, Ash calls himself Per Silledusk (from persilledusk, "tuft of parsley,") and Misty calls herself Anne Sjoser (from ansjoser, "anchovies.") The Danish part of the "Z-Moves" sentence also seems quite "Norwegian," so without knowing exactly what is said in the Danish dub, I've changed it a bit: "Højdepunkt af mit sind, af min krop og min ånd. Som Akalas mægtige bjerg, bliv til en farlig flamme, ud og brænde!" I would have watched the episode if it were still on Pokemon.com/dk, but it's not currently available. I'll let you know whenever I know for sure what's said. [[User:Ztash|Ztash]] ([[User talk:Ztash|talk]]) 21:23, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

== Neo Soul Silver ==
Thanks for fixing, Raltseye. Though I know English on medium level, my writting in this language isn't a bit good. By a way, can you tell me about requirements in order my Neo Soul Silver Wiki could be official accepted as one of main Pokemon Wiki? I've plan make it as a Bulbapedia's "official polish counterpart" since Wikinezka was inactive. --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]])
:No problem. If you're looking for it to join Encyclopedia Pokémonis it first of all have to be independant and not hosted on wikia. Secondly, I do believe it has to have at least articles on all Pokémon and be a wiki with a strong foundation and editor base. I'm sorry if I have understood anything incorrectly but isn't this what the Polish wiki on pl.pokemon.wikia.com is? Or do these two wikis have any different scopes? --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 17:41, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

::I know about it, but I may assure Pokemon Wikia and Neo Soul Silver are focusing on same purpose. A difference is between templates: while Pokemon Wikia have a few completely different templates (and undergoes repair), while Neo Soul focuses to trying be Bulbapedia's good counterpart by using Bulbapedia templates and modify them by adding a polish names (latest Sun and Moon episodes on Disney XD shows dubbed attack names are a bit... confusing, for example Knock Off (in DP was "Nokaut", while in SM is "Sabotaż", though attack focus on dealing damage and "knocking off" a holder's item, even if opponent don't have any item.)). So I've decided develop Neo Soul Silver in two purposes: one, to making sure a polish names will give a good meaning for items, Abilities and attacks (like Exp.Share as Roz. Doświadczeń or Breakneck Blitz as Karkołomna Szarża); and two, to give a polish Nintendo world a chance to make a official polish versions of Pokemon games. For now I'll try fulfill a second requirement, a creating 807 Pokemon articles (though I won't promise will be filled with any word. At least Pokemon's data, location, entry and appearance in anime and manga), if it could help make Neo Soul Silver the Wikinezka's successor. --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]])
:::I see. Well good luck with that. Also I'm not quite sure about that with all the Pokémon is accurate or the only requirement as I remember reading requirements somewhere, not sure where though. Be wary that it will not garantee Neo Soul Silver a spot in the alliance that's all I'm saying. Secondly, I do not believe Wikinezka was a Bulba-clone nor is any of the other wikis in the alliance so that's not a requirement either. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 20:35, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

Here's the thing. I am the one who started adding translations to Chinese names and a couple of Korean ones while at it. I would have worked with the other languages, but I am not fluent enough to do it. The staff are perfectly fine with adding translations. There is no unspoken rule of not translating those written with Latin characters, so there is no need to enforce some sort of consistency with that.

By the way, the [[User:Abcboy/Policy/Foreign|policy]] for other languages is still under works. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 01:58, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

== Russian type names ==

Good day. I noticed that you have names of types in Russian on your page. I'm curious as to what source there is for these. I'm asking because most of them are nouns, which aren't used when referring to a type (for example nobody says «Тип вода» или «Тип огонь», everybody uses their respective adjectives). I would assume some official Russian source does have these listed that way, but the fact that, for example, Rock type uses the adjective rather than the expected noun «Камень», makes me doubt that. Long story short: I would like to ask you what source to these names of types is. After all, types' pages seem to use these same words, so I assume you're the one who provided them? Thank you! [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 07:11, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

==Glitch==
To answer your questions:
#I have no idea, I did not have the intention of recruiting it, I was just simply searching the mountain passes for Sky Gifts, although I could not have recruited it if I tried (around level 70, and no Golden Mask/Ember Tear)
#Kecleons were indeed spawned, but did not appear on the next floor.
#This was triggered by a trap directly next to the shop in my case, although I am sure it could be activated manually with Selfdestruct/Explosion.

It was pure accident, by the way, I saw a Kecleon shop, decided to check it out, nothing interesting there, and when I stepped off it, I happened to set of a selfdestruct trap. The Kecleon was damaged due to it, but no items were in the blast radius. Then I noticed my partner attacked the Kecleon, so I decided to attack it too until it fainted. Nothing really happened, so I then tried to take something (a Gummi) and leave the shop, since there was no Kecleon. I was then labeled a thief despite the shopkeeper being knocked out, and then the normal effects of thievery occurred: music change and super fast Kecleons spawned. I used my Mobile Scarf to head to the stairs (I knocked out a Kecleon in the process, nothing special happened) and on the next floor, everything was normal. (if I remember correctly, the Kecleon will still attack you when you move to the next floor, although that might only be in Red/Blue)

I did not find anything else unique about it though; but it would be easy to replicate with Selfdestruct or Explosion for more experimentation.

:Edit: Kecleon appeared on the recruitment list afterwards, meaning they (should) be able to be recruited. Also, apparently they will not appear on the next floor even if you steal "normally"
:Not sure if this is really a glitch, or a strange oversight, though. [[User:BetaT|BetaT]] ([[User talk:BetaT|talk]]) 21:15, 8 June 2015 (UTC)
::Thank you for taking your time answering my questions and thank you for answering so precise, apriciate it.

== Answer: Interwiki links ==
What do you mean? I only added a name, that's all! Beacause I can speak Dutch. {{unsigned|Lokki}}
:What I meant was that [[fr:Bulbizarre]], [[de:Bisasam]]and [[pl:Bulbasaur]] link to [[Poképédia]], [[Pokéwiki]] and [[Wikinezka]] respectivly and {{red link|nl:Bulbasaur}} could theoreticly link to a similar site if they were a member of Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis I thought you knew of a site that you thought could been linked to thats all. And for adding Dutch to the in other languages section I consider it not notisable since allmost all languages in europe with the latin alphabet uses that name such as Swedish, Norweigian, Danish, Portuguese, Dutch, Finish, Albanish, and so on and so on therefor only add when it is different from english in some way like Bisasam.

== Passwords ==

I stumbled upon a passwords post at GameFAQs. I have tested all North American passwords, and all work, so this leads me to believe the others will work. I've rearranged them into the stage order (S04-07 was before S03-06 for some reason), but I need to verify which stage of Area 05 the latter two each unlocks as I had not cleared S05-06 and paid attention. Can you go and tackle S05-06 and then use one of those two passwords? After using it, check whether S05-07 or S05-08 was unlocked; whichever is not is unlocked by the other password. Passwords are listed on the main article and anything outside my region is marked as "untested" for now. Cheers! [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 15:42, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
:Well I can now confirm that the first code unlocks 05-07 in PAL which rather seems more like europe since Australia is not included and if they are all correct downwards I will just change this and it'll be correct I guess. --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 18:07, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
::Awesome. I left "''S05-0''" in both columns on the article, so I'll update that finding. I thought 05-07 would be first, but wanted a confirmation rather than guessing.

== Stage Data ==

I have news for you. I just got someone to do a data rip and it turns out there are missions for ALT World stages. So what we're doing for 1-30 right now we have to do again for 1-30 in the Alt World.

I am not sure what the total Picrite rewards are, but seeing that data tells me that we have more than enough to earn back in the Alt World. I'm going to clear through Area 10 and then I might think about moving into there after reviewing the missions for Alt World to see if I can do all of them. The missions include things like "avoid setting any legendary or mythical Pokémon" and "avoid setting any Pokémon", though some have things like "avoid using any reveal skills". Since there is likely a time goal, and likely the fourth for doing all missions, it suggests there are 6 Picrites possible per stage again, meaning for an average of 7 Pokémon per area, over 10 areas (I know, one has three, one has five...work with me here), you're still looking at a possible 6*7*10=420 Picrites just for those 70 possible stages. 300 for Alt World now seems like a worthwhile investment.

Going to post this finding at GameFAQs right now, in fact. I've asked for editing power over the sheet so that I can decode everything, after which I can copy every single task in. Continue as you are for now, and I'll start from the back, eventually working over to Alt World. After you reach where I add to, all you have to do when I'm done is verify that I didn't code anything incorrectly when entering the goals and I'll do the same in both worlds as well.

Also sharing this news with Lanthanum. [[User:CycloneGU|CycloneGU]] ([[User talk:CycloneGU|talk]]) 03:25, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
:I am all ready there and it costs 300 Picrites to unlock and it is the same levels as standard mode with Mega Picross (you know these with mega rows or what they are called), harder missions as noted and no Picrite or Mural Tile revards and they do also follow your progress in standard mode atleast for starters. I just tried to clear one level to far so to speak there and I proceeded strangely enough to the next level which I had not cleared in standard mode. --[[User:Raltseye|Ralts]][[User talk:Raltseye|eye]] 10:44, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
::This is good information, actually. It's possible to play the game in Alt World, then go back to the normal mode and play the stages in whatever order you choose? It gives the idea to start playing in Alt World at Area 05 and then continuing through to Areas 21 and 22, then go back and do the missions with the Pokémon needed from those worlds in Normal Mode.

Just to make sure, do you believe that the Aegislash is notable enough to go there? I ask since I do not own the game and am unsure of their connection to the events of the game. If you do not believe so, then the edit might need to be removed. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 19:44, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:Actually he only says that he is called Gilbrand, and his name is still displayed as Aegislash. And no he has nothing to do with the story. His exact line is;

They call me Gilbrand. 
It means shield and sword.

:--[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 20:02, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::So then, let us start with the beginning. According to [[Bulbapedia:Project_Pokédex/Structure]], the NPC appearances section is for "Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary." Now, [[User:Zesty Cactus]] has admitted that it is a bit outdated in the last edit, but I do think that there needs to be something that makes it needed to be listed in that section. The second point is about the word "Gilbrand." More specifically, the lack of a word. Are you sure that the spelling is "Gilbrand" and not something different as it does not seem to even exist as a reference or anything. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
:::Yepp, as sure as one can be. I have the game in my hands as we speak and it does indeed say Gilbrand, and I do agree with you that it does not make any sense since I have also tried to google it with no avail. He is not necessary for the story either, that's why I put it in the trivia section in the first place. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 20:35, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
::::Alright, I think I do have it in the end. Aegislash is called "Gillguard" in Japanese. As already noted on the article, gild can mean "to cover with a layer of gold." Meanwhile, the word brand can have the meaning of "sword." Of course, that is against what Aegislash says, so there might be more to this in the end. Outside of that, I am not fully sure if it should stay. I do see that Abcboy did not remove it, but they might not have the game either. It all depends on if it can be considered "necessary" to note, if that still applies to articles. So, if someone else does end up removing it, then there might not be anything left to say. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 21:41, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

== Rockin' Lock ==

Hi! Just a thing regardingRockin' Lock which I've brought here because I thought it would be faster/not that important. I did once say it might be better to remove the "Klefki's" part of the name, but then if you look at the descriptions used in the [[treasure box]]es (e.g. Hard Box, there aren't many there yet), they use "Klefki's Rockin' Lock"). Now I think "Klefki's Rockin' Lock" is the full name and "Rockin' Lock" is its shortened name. What are your thoughts? Regardless, I don't think it would be necessary anymore to state that the official website is wrong since it's used in-game. --[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 04:56, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
:Yes, or it might be used to emphasize the point that Klefki is running that shop rather than calling the shop by that name, I mean he does say "Welcome to Rockin' Lock!" and if you press the info option "I can crack any lock here at Rockin' Lock!" so that's my guess. Therefore it's not part of the name rather there to tell who's running that shop. But I do agree with you that we can remove the trivia. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 05:11, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

== Brazilian Portuguese categories ==

Hello, Raltseye! Can I add the Brazilian Portuguese Pokémon categories to [[User:Raltseye/List of categories in other languages|your list]]?

== Hit Points ==

Hi. Well... I don't know whether I really don't get the logic Abcboy and you are using there, or whether you're just mistaken. (Plus, recent ''very'' reliable scientific empirical studies indicate that it's impossible for me to be wrong or mistaken.)

Well, seriously, I'm kinda a native German speaker, and I can assure you that "Kraftpunkte" is the proper [http://www.crodict.com/nouns/german/Punkt.html nominative plural]. So, unless I'm mistaken, we should use that!? I'm a bit hesitant to undo twice, so I'd rather clear this up. I guess you're the more experienced editor at language sections. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:43, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
:Huh I didn't know that, and here I thought that it was always n in the end for plural in German, fun to learn something new every day. Anyway I'll just go right ahead and change that then. Thank you for bringing this to our atention. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 17:47, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

== I wanted to fix it. ==

I don't mean to be rude or start an argument but I was going to correct the typo on this page: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/List_of_references_to_Pok%C3%A9mon_in_popular_culture
also when will my edits be good enaugh? [[User:Awesomevenustoise101|Awesomevenustoise101]] ([[User talk:Awesomevenustoise101|talk]]) 18:44, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
:Firstly editing is no competition so it doesn't matter who is there to edit first, as long as you have good intentions you're a good editor even if someone happends to be there before you are. Secondly, I don't know how you edit because I don't know you, but I can for starters tell you to always link using these ([]) so your link above would be <code><nowiki>[[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture]]</nowiki></code> instead, ending up like this [[List of references to Pokémon in popular culture]], and remember to review and sign your comments before you save them.

== Porygon2 non-appearance ==

Hi, regarding your [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Porygon2_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&curid=2586&diff=2506874&oldid=2506648 revert]... The point here is that the text in the section was written before all Gen6 Pokémon had been revealed, so it says that Porygon2 is the only non-legendary pre-Gen6 Pokémon to appear apart from PorygonZ. However now all Gen6 Pokémon have been revealed, so the "pre-Gen6" condition is no longer relevant. But now not all Gen7 Pokémon have been revealed, because Magearna has appeared but not others. So I still think my change is necessary? [[User:Kidburla|Kidburla]] ([[User talk:Kidburla|talk]]) 12:49, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon items ==

Excuse me, but I happened to see your template proposal, and I thought you might want to add a • after Gracidea. Also, is there a reason not to change "Emera" and "Key" to their plural forms?

(This is not directly about the template anymore, but...) I don't know if you're a PSMD player, but if you are, you might be able and willing to create a page on crowns that are awarded if you collect all of the Ancient Treasures, Golden Items, etc.!? I stumbled across them on the German wiki while creating dungeon pages; info can be found on {{de|Kronen}}, or {{de|Schätze der Welt}}, or [http://www.gamefaqs.com/3ds/160809-pokemon-super-mystery-dungeon/faqs/73358 here]. These seem to not fit on any existing page ''from my understanding'' (which is very limited regarding Mystery Dungeon). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:21, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
:Done. Why yes I must certainly am a PSMD player but I have not gotten that far in the game I guess. I do think you are refering to [[Gates to Infinity exclusive items|this page]] which is basically a stub and ned to be splitted. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 21:33, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
::From what I can tell, I'm actually talking of ''Super Mystery Dungeon'' exclusive items. The third link explains it quite well, I guess, and the crowns there have different names than the ones on that page. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:38, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
:::Ah okay of course how stupid of me. Sorry. No like I said I'm not that far in the game so I can't create those pages when I do I'll be sure to do that. Don't you have the game btw? --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 21:44, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
::::No, sorry, hence my lack of expertise (and also confidence). :( All I do have is the internet, and the ability to translate. If you want, we could create a page in the userspace (assuming a new page is the way to go), where I'd be able to basically translate the German article, and you (or anyone) could add confirmed info, in particular that present at gamefaqs. I don't have confidence to mainspace it myself, though; I'd prefer that'd be done by an actual player. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:05, 29 September 2016 (UTC)

::::::::Okay then, I'll try to have something up by this time tomorrow, at latest. I think there'll need to be some design decisions in addition to translation: for example, compared to the German wiki, things are complicated by the fact that we don't have an article where we could easily link to when referring to, for example, "the Ancient Treasures" (similar to the first link for the German wiki). So, probably the article will contain comments or todos then, though, but I'll try to translate anything that's worth translating somewhere. Thanks anyway.

== in other languages template use ==

Why is the "tt" template better than the "sup" template in the other languages section? The thing is, let's take a page, for instance, the items, what is in Pokémon Red they call it an Item but then they later call it an object in Pokémon X version, many stars (*) would be pretty messy right? I thought that the sup template was created for this purpose. Long story short, I was thinking of doing something like [[Dungeon_tile#In_other_languages|this]]. What do you think? [[User:MannedTooth| MannedTooth ]] ([[User_Talk:MannedTooth|Talk]]) 03:14, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:Yes I do agree that sup is better to use then tt, but that's only when it's differated between games. The names you was Canadian French used in the manual for Blue Rescue Team, right? In that case I think it's better to use tt to not make it look like those names are used in the Canadian French version of the games which there are none. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 11:44, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Please note that the {{bp|Talk page policy}} reads: '''''Unless an old conversation is still relevant and there is a good reason to revitalize discussion,''' comments on sections older than six months old should not be made.''

== Regions ==

I think the list of the [[region]]s is necessary for the "Structure" section on the [[Pokémon world]] page. The listing of all the mainland regions goes along with the next few sentences that state that the archipelago regions stem off of the previously listed regions. Without listing the mainland regions, it is [[Unown|unknown]] what regions the archipelago stem off from. --[[User:RedHailfire|RedHailfire]] ([[User talk:RedHailfire|talk]]) 00:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
:No I think not, the list is unnecessary since such a list is more needed on the page for regions. The section is not for detailing how many regions there are and how they work. If the reader wanmts to know how may regions there are or what defines a region they should read the region page. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 01:03, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
::I'll pop in to say I agree with the removal. When there are 7+ "mainland regions" and 2 named archipelagos, listing the former doesn't really clarify a thing about the latter.

== Danish ==
In Showdown at Dark City, Ash calls himself Per Silledusk (from persilledusk, "tuft of parsley,") and Misty calls herself Anne Sjoser (from ansjoser, "anchovies.")

Som Akalas mægtige bjerg, bliv til en farlig flamme, ud og brænde!" I would have watched the episode if it were still on Pokemon.com/dk, but it's not currently available.

A difference is between templates: while Pokemon Wikia have a few completely different templates (and undergoes repair), while Neo Soul focuses to trying be Bulbapedia's good counterpart by using Bulbapedia templates and modify them by adding a polish names (latest Sun and Moon episodes on Disney XD shows dubbed attack names are a bit... confusing, for example Knock Off (in DP was "Nokaut", while in SM is "Sabotaż", though attack focus on dealing damage and "knocking off" a holder's item, even if opponent don't have any item.)). So I've decided develop Neo Soul Silver in two purposes: one, to making sure a polish names will give a good meaning for items, Abilities and attacks (like Exp.Share as Roz. Doświadczeń or Breakneck Blitz as Karkołomna Szarża); and two, to give a polish Nintendo world a chance to make a official polish versions of Pokemon games. For now I'll try fulfill a second requirement, a creating 807 Pokemon articles (though I won't promise will be filled with any word. At least Pokemon's data, location, entry and appearance in anime and manga), if it could help make Neo Soul Silver the Wikinezka's successor. --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]])
:::I see. Well good luck with that. Also I'm not quite sure about that with all the Pokémon is accurate or the only requirement as I remember reading requirements somewhere, not sure where though. Be wary that it will not garantee Neo Soul Silver a spot in the alliance that's all I'm saying. Secondly, I do not believe Wikinezka was a Bulba-clone nor is any of the other wikis in the alliance so that's not a requirement either. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 20:35, 17 March 2018 (UTC)

== Detective Pikachu trivia ==

"It's part of both so I'd say it's not notable"
Both of what? Your reason for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Detective_Pikachu_(game)&curid=204640&diff=2760141&oldid=2760068 this edit] doesn't make sense to me. Can you please elaborate? [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 00:00, 3 April 2018 (UTC)
:Oh, I missed the word ''after''. ^ I though you meant that it's the only game in Gen VI that don't feature Mega Evolution, but with the word ''after'' it makes more sense. I'll add it back. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 00:06, 3 April 2018 (UTC)

== Translations ==

Here's the thing. I am the one who started adding translations to Chinese names and a couple of Korean ones while at it. I would have worked with the other languages, but I am not fluent enough to do it. The staff are perfectly fine with adding translations. There is no unspoken rule of not translating those written with Latin characters, so there is no need to enforce some sort of consistency with that.

By the way, the [[User:Abcboy/Policy/Foreign|policy]] for other languages is still under works. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 01:58, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
:I have removed people doing exactly this before for this very reason before so I thought I'd continue with that. But if I should stop just cause or start editing in all the translations for every language I know everywhere just say. I don't think it's worth it however and that it would be cluttered and don't look to good. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 09:50, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

== Russian type names ==

Good day. I noticed that you have names of types in Russian on your page. I'm curious as to what source there is for these. I'm asking because most of them are nouns, which aren't used when referring to a type (for example nobody says «Тип вода» или «Тип огонь», everybody uses their respective adjectives). I would assume some official Russian source does have these listed that way, but the fact that, for example, Rock type uses the adjective rather than the expected noun «Камень», makes me doubt that. Long story short: I would like to ask you what source to these names of types is. After all, types' pages seem to use these same words, so I assume you're the one who provided them? Thank you! [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 07:11, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
:Yes, the ones on my user page are the ones from [https://www.pokemon.com/ru/pokedex/ Pokémon.com's Pokédex]. The ones from [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/ru-ru/ Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]'s and [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ru-ru/ Sun and Moon]'s offcial sites also uses some kind of noun I believe, I haven't actually made a protocol of that yet. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 10:01, 4 May 2018 (UTC)

'''Dawn's Piplup''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのポッチャマ''' ''Hikari's Pochama'') is {{an|Dawn}}'s [[starter Pokémon|first]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She befriended him after saving him from an {{p|Ariados}}'s [[move|attack]], when Piplup and {{p|Chimchar}} had fled from [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

==History==
==={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}===
[[File:Rowan Piplup.png|thumb|left|220px|Piplup in his debut episode]]
In ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', Piplup got into a fight with the {{pkmn2|starter}} {{p|Chimchar}} when it stole the last of his {{pkmn|food}}. He caused chaos by using {{m|Bubble Beam}} inside [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab and then fled in hot pursuit of the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. While chasing Chimchar, Piplup got stuck in a web that was created by an {{p|Ariados}}. Seeing the situation, {{an|Dawn}}, who had been given the task of finding the runaway starters, came up with a plan to make Ariados destroy its own web, freeing Piplup and making him land safely in her arms. However, Ariados returned accompanied by several of its species and attacked them, leading Dawn and Piplup to work as a team to escape from the attack. Having fought the {{pkmn2|wild}} Ariados off and returned to the lab, Dawn chose Piplup as her first Pokémon saying their {{pkmn|journey}} together had already begun.

Piplup battled [[Nando's Budew]] in ''[[DP004|Dawn Of A New Era!]]''. He started the {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{m|Peck}} attack but Budew dodged easily and used {{m|Bullet Seed}}. He managed to avoid the glowing yellow seeds and use Bubble Beam, getting a clean hit. However, the {{type|Water}} [[move]] had little effect on the Bud Pokémon. When [[Nando]] ordered Budew to use {{m|Solar Beam}}, Dawn thought the move would take a while to charge and had Piplup using Peck. To her surprise, the {{m|Sunny Day}} Budew used before the battle was still in effect and SolarBeam charged immediately, hitting Piplup and rendering him [[Fainting|unable to battle]].

In ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'', Piplup was seen practicing for the upcoming [[Jubilife City]] [[Pokémon Contest]]. He had a hard time trying to use Bubble Beam while spinning around in the air, getting dizzy and falling down to the ground in each of his attempts. However, after being motivated by Dawn when helping a group of Water-type Pokémon that had their food stolen by {{TRT}}, he managed to perfect the technique. During the {{series|Best Wishes}}, this technique was used again as a variation of [[Counter Shield]] in ''[[BW086|Piplup, Pansage, and a Meeting of the Times!]]''.
[[File:Dawn with Piplup.png|thumb|220px|With Dawn at the Jubilife Contest]]
Piplup made his stage debut in ''[[DP011|Mounting a Coordinator Assault!]]'', where he was used in the Appeals Round of the Jubilife Contest. He came out of a [[Seal|Foamy Seal]] and used Bubble Beam to keep the bubbles from the Seal suspended in the air before storing up energy for a Peck. The stored energy made his beak extend and he used the {{type|Flying}} attack to explode all the bubbles. With this simple yet remarkable performance, Piplup managed to advance Dawn to the [[Contest Battle]]s.

In ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]'', Piplup learned {{m|Whirlpool}} upon seeing Team Rocket escaping with [[Kenny's Prinplup]]. He used the new move to absorb {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, and {{TP|James|Carnivine}}'s {{m|Bullet Seed}} before launching it towards them, restoring Prinplup's energy and allowing it to free itself. After that, he and Prinplup forgot the rivalry they started earlier in the episode and became friends, working together to send Team Rocket blasting off again.

Piplup was used in the Battle Round of the {{to|Floaroma}} Contest in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''. His first battle in the event was against Jessie's Dustox, during which he used {{m|Bide}} to return double the damage he took from {{m|Poison Sting}} before knocking the Poison Moth Pokémon out with a Peck attack. After that he was seen defeating a {{p|Bagon}} to advance to the finals of the competition. There he went up against Kenny's Prinplup. They both used Bubble Beam to start the battle and their moves collided in the center of [[Contest Hall|the stadium]], creating a shower of sparkles. Piplup proceeded with Peck but Prinplup intercepted with {{m|Metal Claw}}, catching and tossing him into the air. Prinplup then used {{m|Drill Peck}} and Piplup countered the attack with Bide. After recovering, Prinplup used Metal Claw but Piplup dodged and used Whirlpool. The large water vortex engulfed Prinplup, costing {{si|Kenny}} precious points, but was ultimately destroyed by a powerful Bubble Beam. Prinplup followed with {{m|Mist}} to cloak the stage before using Drill Peck and Piplup answered with another Whirlpool. The two Pokémon jumped into the vortex and faced off inside it, with Piplup using Peck and Prinplup using Metal Claw. They then used Bubble Beam again and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, giving Dawn her first [[Ribbon]].

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', Dawn entered Piplup as a {{p|Weedle}} in the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], an annual competition organized by the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] where Pokémon try to imitate other Pokémon. During his impression, Piplup got a little too excited and used Bubble Beam, a move Weedle cannot learn, thus ruining his chances of winning the event.

In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', Dawn learned from [[Zoey]] that the {{ci|Hearthome}} Contest was going to be held under the [[Double Performance]] rule. She paired up Piplup and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in order to train for this kind of performance and develop some new [[Contest combination]]s. She told Pachirisu to use {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and Piplup to use Whirlpool, but things didn't go quite as planned as the large whirlpool covered all the hearts from the Sweet Kiss. She also tried to combine Whirlpool and {{m|Discharge}}, but Pachirisu's Discharge was too powerful and it evaporated Piplup's Whirlpool.

Piplup was used in the Appeals Round of the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest along with Pachirisu in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. He used Bubble Beam to encase the hearts of Pachirisu's Sweet Kiss and his Whirlpool was dissipated in a flash of sparkles by Pachirisu's Discharge. Their performance received positive reviews from [[Raoul Contesta|the]] [[Mr. Sukizo|three]] [[Nurse Joy|judges]] but it wasn't impressive enough to advance Dawn to the Contest Battles.
[[File:Dawn Piplup May Blaziken.png|thumb|left|220px|With May's Blaziken]]
Piplup was seen battling alongside [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}} against {{OBP|Giant|DP050}}'s {{p|Koffing}} and his partner's {{p|Scyther}} in the first round of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''. Together they managed to defeat their opponents and advance their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to the second round.

In ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', Piplup battled alongside [[Leona]]'s {{p|Swinub}} against [[Ash's Chimchar]] and [[Brock's Sudowoodo]]. The battle ended in a draw when all four Pokémon were {{status|freeze|frozen solid}}. In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he battled against [[Roman]]'s {{p|Girafarig}} and [[Kylie]]'s {{p|Drifloon}} along with [[May's Blaziken]] in the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]] [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] challenge. Using a combination of Bubble Beam and {{m|Fire Spin}} that trapped their opponents inside it, they were able to win the battle.

Piplup was used twice in the battling stage of the [[Wallace Cup]]. He was first used to battle {{si|Kyle}}'s {{p|Crawdaunt}} in the semifinal round. Their battle began in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' with a collision of Bubble Beam and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} that cost their {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s some points. As the battle continued in the following episode, the two Pokémon jumped in the pool and charged at each other, with Piplup using his Whirlpool to trap Crawdaunt in a vortex. However, his move was taken advantage of when Crawdaunt used {{m|Surf}}, sending him backwards. Crawdaunt proceeded with {{m|Dark Pulse}}, but Piplup avoided the attack with his spinning dodge technique and used Bide to absorb the energy from the two purple beams. When Crawdaunt jumped in the air to strike Piplup with a {{m|Crabhammer}}, Piplup released the absorbed energy, hitting the Rogue Pokémon and causing it to fall into the water just as the time ran out. Piplup won the battle on points, allowing Dawn to advance to the final round.
[[File:Piplup versus Glaceon.png|thumb|220px|Battling May's Glaceon]]
In ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', Dawn used Piplup in the finals of the Wallace Cup, where he went up against [[May's Glaceon]]. He started with Bubble Beam, but the {{type|Ice}} Pokémon dodged and used {{m|Secret Power}}, {{status|paralysis|paralyzing}} him. The battle proceeded with Glaceon using {{m|Ice Shard}}, which hit the paralyzed Piplup hard. After that, Piplup jumped in the pool to get rid of the paralysis. When out of the water, he used Whirlpool, but Glaceon received the attack with {{m|Mirror Coat}} and returned it to him, sending him flying backwards. Piplup quickly recovered and used Bubble Beam again, this time hitting Glaceon. When the Fresh Snow Pokémon used {{m|Shadow Ball}}, Piplup spun and dodged it. Glaceon then decided to take advantage of the water covering the stage and attack with Secret Power to try and put Piplup to {{status|sleep}}. Despite being hit and sent flying in the air, Piplup was able to spin gracefully and land in a pose, rendering Glaceon's attack unsuccessful. Glaceon fired another Shadow Ball but Piplup used Bubble Beam once more, destroying it. Piplup followed with Peck, but Glaceon dodged and used Ice Shard. The icy projectiles did not hit Piplup, though, as he used Whirlpool to defend himself. With only one minute left on the clock, Dawn and {{an|May}} had the same amount of points. Piplup then charged at Glaceon surfing in his own Whirlpool. Before Piplup could reach it, Glaceon used Shadow Ball to destroy the Whirlpool, creating a curtain of water. Taking advantage of the situation, Piplup came out from behind the curtain and used Bubble Beam, surprising Glaceon, who then used another Shadow Ball. Piplup destroyed the shadowy blob with a Peck attack, creating a dark purple curtain. This time, it was Glaceon who took advantage of the curtain, using Ice Shard to strike Piplup. Piplup used Whirlpool one last time and Glaceon once again countered with Mirror Coat. Both Pokémon were hit by the water from the Whirlpool and the time ran out. Piplup won the match by points, breaking Dawn's [[DP049|losing]] [[DP061|streak]] and giving her the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}, her second {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] overall.

While exploring the ferry from [[Iron Island]] to [[Chocovine Town]] in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]'', Piplup was kidnapped by Team Rocket and taken to their [[Team Rocket's mechas|Magikarp Submarine]] along with {{AP|Pikachu}}. When the sub was dragged away by a strong current, the two Pokémon ended up on an island located in [[Diablo's Ocean]]. There, they helped the local Pokémon to collect pieces of rocks to put them around a crystal that fell from the sky one stormy night. When they gathered enough rocks, Team Rocket appeared to capture them again, but Dawn and Ash arrived on the island just in time to prevent this. At that moment the crystal glowed brightly and turned into a {{p|Deoxys}}. Team Rocket tried to capture it, but the [[Mythical Pokémon]] destroyed their sub, sending them blasting off. After this adventurous day, Piplup and Pikachu returned to their Trainers.

[[File:Dawn Piplup no evolution.png|thumb|left|250px|Resisting his Evolution]]
When Piplup was about to train with {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|Dawn's other Pokémon}} in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', he collapsed from exhaustion, worrying Dawn. Soon after, he started to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Prinplup}}. However, he used Bide to stop the process and collapsed again. As a result, Brock rushed him to the [[Pokémon Center]], where Nurse Joy explained he just needed some rest. Later, when Dawn was talking to him, he started to evolve again. She told him to let it happen this time, but he used Bide to discontinue the process. As she questioned his motives and spoke to him about the pros of evolving, he got angry and fled the Center. Dawn followed him through the woods, but he kept running away from her, angry at her for not understanding his unwillingness to evolve. While running, he got caught in a web. Dawn tried to help him, but an Ariados appeared and attacked her. The attack destroyed the web and freed Piplup, who landed in Dawn's arms. After that, several Ariados appeared and attacked them with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Piplup used Bide to send them flying, just like the day he and Dawn first met. Making matters worse, Team Rocket appeared and captured Piplup. While trying to retrieve her Pokémon, Dawn learned that past events have motivated Piplup to stay the way he is. This made Dawn realize that on the day she chose Piplup, he chose her as well. After sending Team Rocket blasting off, they returned to the Center, where Nurse Joy gave Dawn an [[Everstone]] to prevent Piplup's Evolution for as long as he wants.

In ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]'', Piplup fell in love with {{OBP|Lulu|DP137}}'s {{p|Marill}}. However, a wild {{p|Elekid}} was also competing for its affections. When the three Pokémon got separated from Dawn and the others, Piplup tried to help Marill, but Elekid seemed to gain the upper hand. When Team Rocket appeared and captured Marill, both Piplup and Elekid worked together to save it. Once Marill was saved, it decided to go with Elekid, leaving Piplup brokenhearted.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', Piplup was used alongside Pachirisu in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Johanna's Glameow]] and {{p|Umbreon}}. They started the battle by using a combination of Whirlpool and Discharge. However, the combination didn't last long as [[Johanna]]'s Pokémon were able to gracefully dodge it with a double {{m|Quick Attack}} and destroy it with a double Shadow Ball. After that, Dawn had Piplup using Bubble Beam, but Glameow and Umbreon dodged once again. This was part of Dawn's plan, though, as Bubble Beam was meant to build a barrier of bubbles and hide Pachirisu. When Pachirisu came out from behind the barrier, it caught Glameow and Umbreon by surprise and attacked them with a spinning {{m|Super Fang}}. Johanna's Pokémon quickly fought back with a double {{m|Attract}}, {{status|infatuation|infatuating}} both Pachirisu and Piplup before attacking them with a double {{m|Swift}} and knocking them out.

[[File:Dawn and Piplup.png|thumb|250px|Piplup and Dawn]]
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', Piplup was used to battle {{an|Lyra}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} in the [[Johto Festival]] battling exhibition. Despite the [[type]] disadvantage, he was still able to defeat the Leaf Pokémon, earning Dawn a [[Pokémon Egg]].

Piplup was used in the Appeals Round of the [[Lilypad Town]] Pokémon Contest in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''. For his performance, he used Whirlpool and then Bide. His Whirlpool came straight down on him and joined forces with Bide, causing him to glow an intense blue from the energy reaction. His appeal was praised by the judges and allowed Dawn to advance to the Battle Round.

In ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', Piplup teamed up with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} to perform at the [[Daybreak Town]] Pokémon Contest, which was being held under the Double Performance rule. They finished a stunning performance by exploding the frozen bubbles and sending a shower of sparkles down to the crowd, assuring Dawn's progression to the next round.

In ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', Piplup kept getting hit by [[Ash's Gible]]'s then faulty {{m|Draco Meteor}}. He thought that Dawn was going to stick up for him, but when she didn't he decided he'd had enough and started to walk back to Professor Rowan's lab. Several times he imagined Dawn coming to comfort him, but he got even more discouraged when he found out she wasn't really there. At one point he came across Team Rocket, who were [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] as Pokémon therapists, and told them his problem. They were very moved by his story, so much so that they scolded Dawn for not noticing Piplup's feelings. Later on, Piplup brought Pikachu over to Team Rocket, unaware of their plot to capture them both, which was successful until a wild {{p|Rhyperior}} came and freed them. Piplup then jumped into Dawn's arms and she apologized to him for not knowing how he felt, as did Ash. He then battled against Team Rocket along with [[Ash's Grotle]], learning {{m|Hydro Pump}} in the process.

[[File:Piplup Togekiss DP177.png|thumb|left|250px|At the Grand Festival with Togekiss]]
As in the Wallace Cup, Piplup was used twice in the battling stage of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. In ''[[DP176|Coming Full-Festival Circle!]]'', he was revealed to have helped Dawn in defeating her quarterfinal round opponent together with Pachirisu, thus allowing her to advance further in the competition. In ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'', he went up against [[Zoey's Glameow]] and {{p|Gallade}} alongside {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} in the finals. Despite putting several of the techniques he perfected during his training sessions to good use and combining his moves with Togekiss's nicely, he was unable to bring Dawn the victory.

In ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', Dawn gave Piplup a new cheering uniform for him to wear during {{Ash}}'s battle against [[Paul]] in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

In ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', Piplup threw a tantrum and ran away from the group when he realized that {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were leaving, since he couldn't accept the fact. However, Dawn and everyone else consoled him saying they would always be friends to the end.

In [[SS024]], he was used to battle Johanna's Glameow and Umbreon alongside {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}}. However, when they unleashed their {{m|Whirlpool}}-{{m|Flame Wheel}} combination, the battle had to be interrupted due to them fighting.

==={{series|Best Wishes}}===
[[File:Dawn Piplup and Ash Oshawott.png|thumb|250px|With his rival, Ash's Oshawott]]
Piplup came to [[Unova]] with Dawn prior to ''[[BW085|All for the Love of Meloetta!]]''. In [[BW086|the following episode]], he was able to reunite with {{Ash}} and meet {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and his new object of affection—a {{an|Meloetta}} that had been following Ash's group since [[Virbank City]]. He also socialized with all the other Pokémon when they were brought out of their [[Poké Ball]]s and found a rival in [[Ash's Oshawott]], who had feelings for Meloetta, too. Later on, he had a battle with [[Cilan's Pansage]], during which he used {{m|Drill Peck}} to send Pansage's {{m|Bullet Seed}} back at him. When the Grass Monkey Pokémon used {{m|Rock Tomb}}, he negated the move using a variation of [[Counter Shield]]. After that, Pansage used {{m|SolarBeam}}, but Piplup countered with {{m|Ice Beam}}. As the two beams collided, they rose into the sky and exploded, creating a beautiful fireworks display. This left Meloetta greatly impressed, causing it to disrupt the battle and start dancing with Piplup.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Piplup was used in the first round of the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]] against [[Ramone]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}. Using Drill Peck, he was able to defeat his opponent, thus allowing Dawn to proceed to the second round.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Piplup grew sad when saying goodbye to Meloetta before leaving for [[Johto]] with Dawn. His rival Oshawott then confronted him one more time, but their contempt soon turned into sadness and they bid a teary farewell. After that, Piplup jumped onto the plane and departed.

He reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Dawn Piplup angry.png|thumb|250px|An angry Piplup]]
Piplup initially would not accept food from {{an|Dawn}}; as described in the [[Pokédex]], Piplup are very proud and dislike accepting food from [[human|people]]. However, he seems to have a large appetite for [[Pokémon food]] and does not like having any taken away from him. He shows signs of having a short temper, frequently getting into disagreements with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and his {{pkmn|Trainer}}. One of his distinguishing traits is his tendency to lose it when things go wrong, such as when a {{p|Chimchar}} stole the last of his food in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'', when he repeatedly missed out on eating a [[Berry]] and started a fight with a {{p|Shinx}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', or when Dawn said [[Ash's Gible]] did not have ill intent when he was practicing his {{m|Draco Meteor}} in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]''.

Despite his prideful and fierce attitude, Piplup was fairly weak at first, being easily defeated by [[Nando's Budew]] in his first {{pkmn|battle}}. He has grown in strength since then, helping Dawn {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'' and a {{AP|Buizel}} in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out Of This!]]''.

Piplup is Dawn's main battling partner, being used more than any of {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her other Pokémon}} and having helped her win her first two {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. He seems to be very competitive and will always try to overcome the odds to impress Dawn and get her fullest attention. He often wants to be the first one to start an event for Dawn and commonly tries to peacefully talk to enemies, rather than just attacking them, as seen in ''[[DP087|The Psyduck Stops Here!]]''.

[[File:Dawn Piplup costume.png|thumb|left|250px|Piplup showing off in his new costume]]
It has been shown that Dawn and Piplup have a [[Friendship|close bond]] with each other. In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', he helped Dawn recover her confidence by shooting {{m|Bubble Beam}} at her face. Two episodes later, in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', he barely edged out [[May's Glaceon]] by only half a point to help Dawn win the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}}.

In ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', Piplup was shown to be quite adamant and overconfident. He even tried to stop {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} from charging. However, each attempt resulted with him being launched into the sky and knocked out. Despite this, he would get straight back up on his feet even when completely knocked out. He tried again when {{p|Piloswine}} had already evolved into {{p|Mamoswine}}, but the result was the same.

Ever since Ash's Gible made his debut in ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]'', Piplup has constantly been the target of his {{m|Draco Meteor}}, mostly by accident but considered a {{cat|Anime running gags|running gag}}. This event was expanded in ''[[DP164|Piplup, Up and Away!]]'', where Piplup ran away from {{ashfr|the group}} following another accidental attack. However, these events helped him learn {{m|Hydro Pump}}. Comically, it was implied in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'' that Draco Meteor can be used to differentiate Piplup from other members of its species.

==Trivia==
[[File:Piplup C-Gear skin.png|thumb|190px|A [[C-Gear]] skin featuring Piplup]]
* For ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Dawn's Piplup. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about him: 「ポッチャマが　みずにとびこむ　ぽっちゃんと」 ''"{{tt|Pochama|Piplup}} jumps into the water with a splash."''
* The {{so|Diamond and Pearl|opening sequence}} of [[S10|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]] shows Dawn's Piplup coming out of his [[Poké Ball]] with a trail of stars behind him. However, Dawn did not use a [[Seal|Star Seal]] with Piplup's Poké Ball until ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', three seasons later.
* Piplup's [[gender]] was confirmed to be male in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''.
* During an interview with former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he revealed that Dawn's Piplup would likely not [[Evolution|evolve]] very soon, referring to his {{p|Prinplup|evolved}} {{p|Empoleon|forms}} as "ugly" or not good for [[Pokémon Contest]]s.
* Of all of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} episodes, Piplup was only completely absent from 17 of the 191 episodes.
* Piplup is the second Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to stop evolving while the process is happening, the first being [[Ash's Bulbasaur]].
* Piplup was featured in a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Skins#C-Gear skins|promotional C-Gear]] skin alongside [[Brock's Croagunk]] in Japan to celebrate the [[SS024|anime]] [[SS025|specials]] featuring {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}}. This Piplup was later distributed as [[List of Wi-Fi Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Recital Piplup|event]] Pokémon for Japanese games to commemorate his appearance in ''[[Best Wishes series|Best Wishes! Season 2]]''.
* Piplup was referenced by Ash in ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', when he and {{ashfr}} met a troop of many Piplup at the Ambrette Aquarium. Ash recalled that Dawn's Piplup had been rather prideful and stubborn.
* Starting in [[S11|Pokémon DP: Battle Dimension]], Dawn keeps Piplup out of his Poké Ball, apart from rare cases like in Pokémon Contests.

== Top 20 Pokethon Countdown ==

Hey there! There is a page I would like to add about the anime. This was a marathon that Kids WB did back in 1999, in which kids voted on their favorite Pokemon, tallied the results, then hosted a marathon in which Meowth and Professor Oak counted down the top 20, and showed an episode showcasing each one. Here were the results, along with the episode the showed for each one.

20. Snorlax - Wake Up Snorlax 
19. Primeape - Primeape Goes Bananas 
18. Growlithe - The Case of the K9 Caper 
17. Cubone - The School of Hard Knocks 
16. Ponyta - The Flame Pokemon-athon 
15. Butterfree - Bye Bye Butterfree 
14. Psyduck - The Ninja Poke-showdown 
13. Charmeleon - The Problem With Paras 
12. Vulpix - Pokemon Fashion Flash 
11. Meowth - Who Gets to Keep Togepi? (sadly this marathon aired a few weeks before Go West Young Meowth) 
10. Raichu - Electric Shock Showdown 
9. Eevee - The Battling Eevee Brothers 
8. Blastoise - Island of the Giant Pokemon (again, I think this was JUST before Beach Blank-Out Blastoise aired) 
7. Ditto - Ditto's Mysterious Mansion 
6. Jigglypuff - The Song of Jigglypuff 
5. Bulbasaur - Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village 
4. Squirtle - Here Comes the Squirtle Squad 
3. Charmander - Charmander, the Stray Pokemon 
2. Charizard - Attack of the Prehistoric Pokemon 
1. Pikachu - Pikachu's Goodbye

:Hey there, if you draft up an article for it in your userspace, I'll be happy to look over it and mainspace it if everything looks good. Let me know if you have any other questions. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 17:02, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

== Would this be notable for mainspacing? ==

I apologize for the crappy intro, but writing paragraphs has been one of my weaknesses. [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Unowninator/Ability_move_variations]. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:14, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
:After some discussion with other staff members, we've unfortunately reached the conclusion that your page does not meet Bulbapedia's notability standards.

== Charizard and Blastoise ==

Are the pages [[User:05308/Tierno's Blastoise]] and [[User:05308/Trevor's Charizard]] ready to get their own pages?--[[User:Reinhartmax|Reinhartmax]] ([[User talk:Reinhartmax|talk]]) 17:16, 7 July 2016 (UTC)
:Trevor's Charizard can be mainspaced. Unfortunately, I still feel that Tierno's Blastoise does not meet the notability requirements. ''"If a rival's signature Pokémon does nothing more than battle or has no major impact on the plot, then it is not notable for an article and instead should have a section on its Trainer's page."'' While Charizard didn't do much outside of battling either, it at least participated in the league, which I would consider plot impact.

:::Only just saw this was going on; makes me feel important. If I'm honest, I would have thought it'd be the other way around, with Blasoise being notable and Charizard missing out. Both of them had roles outside of battle in the Summer camp: Pokévision and Orienterring episodes as well as being captured by Team Rocket before the Team battle (All of which I neglected to put on their respective pages) Blastoise alo had shenanigans as a Wartortle in ''Good Friends, Good Trainning'' and its recent battle in the Kalos leauge. It is my case that Blastoise should be mainspaced. [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 07:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)

== Request ==

Can I request that you look into FinnishPokeFan's latest edits because he/she seems to be constantly changing my edits by rewording things when they were fine the way they were. I don't have a problem if he/she adds things that need to be added or fixes mistakes, but he/she seems to be doing this constantly lately and I'm sure that this is because he/she is targeting me. He/she seems to have a problem with me for a while now and apparently these rewordings are fine, despite the fact that they don't need to have reworded. Because quite frankly, I'm sick of being targeted like this. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
:As an example, he/she changed the description of Manectric using the move Electric Terrain in the anime and some of the edits added nothing new to it, but according to Tiddlywinks, it's completely fine to reword things, even though some of the edits were completely and utterly unnecessary. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 14:19, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
::Hey there. First, I want to start off by saying that when you first registered for Bulbapedia, you accepted that ''"all contributions to Bulbapedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors."''. I understand that having your edits altered or undone constantly can be frustrating, but the anime-related articles are often high traffic pages on the wiki, so it comes with the territory. Since both you and FinnishPokeFan are both frequent contributors to the anime section and the pages you edit often overlap, it's difficult for me to conclude that ''you'' specifically are being targeted rather than simply the subject of your edits. I've noticed that you and FinnishPokeFan disagree on quite a few topics, but I notice that majority of the time, you do not communicate with each other beyond edit summaries. If you disagree with actions that users make the best action would be reach out on their talkpage (or any talk page) and try to find understanding. If they refuse to engage with you after that, ''then'' we could try to look into taking further intervention. Reverting edits that you felt were unnecessary simply as a means of revenge isn't the best way to go about the situation either. The bottom line is, nothing policy breaking has occurred as of now, there's not much that can be done. Not everyone on Bulbapedia is going to get along and that's not a realistic expectation, but user feuds cannot get to the point where it becomes detrimental to the progress of the site.

== Main Space ==

== Anime Pokémon pages ==

Sorry to bring this to you but there is a massive back log of Anime Pokémon pages that I am certain are notable enough for mainspacing; [[User:Pattyman/Florges (anime)]], [[User:Pattyman/Meyer's Blaziken]], [[User:05308/Professor Sycamore's Garchomp]], [[User:05308/Diantha's Gardevoir]], [[User:05308/Chespie]], [[User:05308/Z2]] and also maybe [[User:05308/Lugia (anime)]]. Though some aren't quite up-to-date, I find nobody bothers to do much to a page that isn't mainspaced, besides, there are many mainspace pages that are not quite as up-to-date as they need to be (I mean anime Pokémon pages specifically).

I was also wondering wheather the anime counterparts of both Professor Sycamore and Lysandre should be given there own page? [[User:05308|Diamond]] [[Lanturn (Pokémon)|Lanturn]] [[User talk:05308|CodeName: 05308]] 17:50, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

== Clemont's Magnemite ==

I already brought this up with Force Fire but have not been given an answer yet and was told to bring it up with someone else. So I was wondering where you stood on Clemont's Magnemite. Notability rules say that Pokémon that are owned by Clemont are notable if they appeared in more than one episode and Magnemite has finally done that. So can the page [[User:Rahl/Clemont's Magnemite]] be moved to the mainspace?--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 19:50, 11 October 2016 (UTC)
:While Clemont's Magnemite does ''technically'' meet the notability requirements, the Editorial Board feels that Clemont's Magnemite in particular is not notable. It only had very brief appearances and we feel that there's not enough information about it to warrant a page for it at this time. If we were to mainspace it, it would most likely remain a stub and it's not very worth it. We are currently in the process of adjusting/updating the anime notability requirements so it will be more clear on what to do in situations like this one.

:While it's extremely likely that Dawn's Buneary is indeed a female, it's Bulbapedia policy to abide by what the Japanese version of the anime refers to it as. Unfortunately, it's never been explicitly stated or confirmed that it is a female Pokémon on the original version, so that's how it should be referred to as in the article. There have been some situations in the past where Pokémon have been referred to as one gender in the original version and another in the dub, so doing things this ways ensures that the Japanese version will always take precedence.

== Reducing clutter on [[Season]] ==

Hi there! I recently noticed that our [[Season]] page has a lot of unnecessary clutter — season boundaries only differed between broadcast and home video prior to the second Advanced Generation season, yet for some reason we list them separately even for more recent seasons. Since you're Head of Anime, I hope you're the right person for me to approach to suggest an alternative that I've created in my userspace: [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Season suggestion]] (and its [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Seasonlist2|accompanying template]]).

== List of voice actors page ==

Should Pokemon Generations voice actors have their role mentioned on the page List of Japanese voice actors? Because there are quite a few voice actors who don't have their role mentioned on that page. Also would it be relevant for Takehito Koyasu and Yosuke Akimoto to have their own page? Because I'm planning to make a page for each of them and I believe that at least Koyasu would be relevant as he had voiced Butch in the Japanese dub of the anime but in Akimoto's case I'm not too sure if his role as Dr Fuji in Mewtwo Strikes Back, Birth of Mewtwo(Radio Drama) and Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin would be notable enough.[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 07:15, 7 June 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, Pokémon Generations VAs should have their roles mentioned on the List of Japanese Voice Actors page. As for the two voice actors you mentioned, Takehito Koyasu definitely meets the Project VA notability requirements. Dr. Fuji would probably fall under the recurring category so I'd be okay with Yosuke Akimoto having a page as well. If you draft up the two pages in your userspace I'll be happy to review/mainspace them right away. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:07, 7 June 2017 (UTC)

== Takehito Koyasu Page ==

Hi, I've finished the draft for the page Koyasu, so could you please have a look over it to see if it is worthy to be mainspaced along with checking is anything is missing?. The Akimoto page is still currently being worked on. The Yosuke Akimoto page is still being worked on but will be ready soon to be looked over as a draft.
I would like to ask if there is a way where all 'incomplete' stub messages can be viewed? Because I feel in the future I will be using them quite a lot.
Also I would like to ask if the following voice actors would be relevant for their own article:
* Yuichi Nakamura: only did N in the anime but he was a prominent recurring character who even travelled with the group for a bit so I believe he would be relevant
* Takahiro Sakurai: May not be as notable but played a recurring role as Sandshrew in the anime and Watt from the AG series who appeared more than once
* Wataru Takagi: Played Fergus from M01 and Vladimir in AG series who appears more than once in AG series
* Atsuko Tanaka: Played Pike Queen Lucy and Lenora(who appeared in more than one episode, one being a gym battle and the other in another episode in person)
* Rie Tanaka: Played Solidad and Mars who both had frequent appearances in their respective series(AG and DP)
* Nobuo Tobita: Brycen who's appearances were both large in the episodes he appeared in
* Kosuke Toriumi: Played Saizo who was prominent in the two episodes of appearance despite being COTD
* Tetsuya Kakihara: Reggie who appeared numerous times throughout the DP series
* Mikako Komatsu: Mairin who appears many times throughout the XY anime
* Koji Yusa: May not be too prominent in terms of number of appearances but did play Drake(Orange League) who appeared twice during his battle against Ash

==Quick questions==
Hi, I have a few questions I would like to ask regarding a few things,
* Do voice actors have to have a biography? Because I noticed that some such as Aoi Yuki have a biography.
* I saw that many voice actor pages have stubs on them. Is that because technically their roles are always expanding or is there some other reason?
* Would Kensho Ono be worthy of his own page? He played Alain who had a major role in the XY series and the Mega Evolution specials?
* Do edits to then userspaced pages count towards mainspace edits when they become mainspaced? And is there a way to count number of edits? Because I'm striving to become one of the top contributors of the month and just asking out of curiosity.
* Following the previous question, would it be advised against to edit a large number of articles in a small amount of time such as over the course of one day? Just need to know so I don't cause server problems.
* About the usertag "This user has beaten Bulbabot", can it only be used by those who beat Bulbabots number of contributions in one month?
Thanks ahead[[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 11:52, 29 June 2017 (UTC)
:I'll try to break down everything you asked below:
*Let me run this by the rest of the Editorial Board since it doesn't seem like there's ever been any established guidelines on that front.
*Many VA articles have been marked stubs because traditionally stub pages are considered pages that are very short, which is the case a lot of the time for VA articles. However, this blanket application of marking them as stubs are probably something we should be getting away from moving forward. In the future, we'll probably go through and unmark the articles that are considered "complete".
*Yes, he would qualify for a page.
*Yes, when articles are moved to the mainspace those edits will be automatically adjusted and counted towards your mainspace edits. You can check your number of edits by going to the "preferences" tab at the upper right and then clicking "view global account info" under the user profile tab. However, this edit number will be your edits in total, userspace edits and all, I don't believe there is a way to view a breakdown of the types of edits (userspace, mainspace, etc) without very high technical administrative privileges.
*No, we don't advise against it if they're all productive edits. The only concern would be editing a number of high-traffic templates at one time as that could crash the server, but most of those are protected from normal users anyway.
*The Bulbabot usertag is for overall edits I believe, but I'll double check that for you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 20:59, 1 July 2017 (UTC)

*Rio'''Lucario'''lu
*Darkrai is the only Technical Pokkén character without a Mega evolution or a weakness against Ghost attacks.
**It is also the only non-Ghost type that can go through walls without an item in Mystery Dungeon.

== Bulba Handbook ==

Do you know where Bulba Handbook gets their information? I know for sure that not all of it's from Bulbapedia, because some stuff on Bulba Handbook isn't on Bulbapedia. If you don't know, who should I ask? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 19:17, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late response on this. As I was not the one who directly worked on the Handbook, I can't say where all of that information was originally found. What I can say is that the standards for the verification of sources are far higher on Bulbapedia than they were on the Handbook, which was a far smaller scale project. For more information, I can point you to the user Soki, who's more active on the Forums. I hope this helps in some way.

== Hareta's Luxray ==

Is the page [[User:Rahl/Hareta's Luxray]] ready to be mainspaced? I know it would be better to ask an admin who is in charge of manga related articles, but I've been ignored by one and the other is on a break so I'm not sure where else to take this to see if it is ready. Thank you.--[[User:Rahl|Rahl]] ([[User talk:Rahl|talk]]) 15:48, 17 July 2017 (UTC)

==Voice actor pages==

Hi, if you go onto my userpage(which is more or less a to-do list) you will see under the heading "Pages made but currently in userspace" three articles on the voice actors Rie Tanaka, Takahiro Sakurai and Yuuichi Nakamura. When a time is convenient could you please mainspace those pages for me please? Thanks. [[User:Nikuriku|Nikuriku]] ([[User talk:Nikuriku|talk]]) 02:43, 23 July 2017 (UTC)

I noticed that {{user|Singaporean}} has created the [[Sachi Kokuryū]] page directly in the mainspace without getting staff approval first.

:I can see why you created that redirect, but Mediawiki (the software Bulbapedia is run on) is not case sensitive when using the "search" system/search bar. Therefore, "e-reader" would already automatically redirect to "e-Reader", because it's already reading the upper and lowercase "R" as the same.

:::I believe it's a safe assumption that a vast majority of our userbase/readers won't be searching for a specific page via URL.

The '''Gracidea''' (Japanese: '''グラシデアのはな''' ''Gracidea Flower'') is a [[Key Item]] introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. It is a type of flower that resembles the flowers on {{p|Shaymin}}'s head. It allows [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]] Shaymin to change into Sky Forme.

In some places, people give bouquets of these flowers that resemble Shaymin to thank someone to express their gratitude, relating to Shaymin being the Gratitude Pokémon.

[[File:Gracidea flower anime.png|thumb|250px|Gracidea in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gracideas first appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', in which {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, and {{an|Brock}} met {{OBP|Layla|M11}} and her husband [[Moose]]. The couple was on the way to Layla's great-grandmother's hundredth birthday party, and they wanted to give her a bouquet of Gracideas as a way to express their gratitude. As {{ashfr|the group}} was traveling with {{OBP|Shaymin|M11}}, Layla bonded with the {{pkmn|category|Gratitude Pokémon}}, and when Shaymin touched the bouquet, it immediately changed into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]]. Later on, Shaymin reunited with several members of {{p|Shaymin|its species}} in {{si|Gracidea|a field full of Gracideas}}. In the ending credits, {{Delia}}, [[Johanna]], and [[Lola]] were seen receiving Gracidea gift baskets sent by their children. The same field of Gracideas was later seen in a flashback in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', when [[Sheena]] and {{OBP|Kevin|M12}} visited the area.

Gracideas reappeared in ''[[DP168|Keeping in Top Forme!]]'', where a Gracidea garden is featured. All of the Gracidea in the garden have died except for a few. The Shaymin befriended by [[Marley]] used it to change into Sky Forme, along with two other Shaymin, and then migrated in order to find another garden.

In ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', flowers that look similar to Gracideas are seen in Johanna's garden.

==Same Chespin ==

Japanese is not my forte....but was it confirmed that this is the same Chespin that was presented to Serena when she choose her first Pokémon? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 23:16, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Chespin is the first regional Grass-type starter to be owned by a main character other than Ash. Does this mean within that regeon because {{an|May}} had {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}

:Falling in love with a Pokémon of a particular gender and mimicking a specific Pokémon are not strong enough proof that a Pokémon is male or female.

::I'm sorry but this is really just nitpicking at this point. Chespin is male, he fell in love with a Female Meowstic(who can't have any sort of gender debate because she is point blank female). The anime has no mention of gay pokemon anywhere and it's a kid show so this a character has to say it thing isn't needed in this case, yes in other cases it is needed but Meowstic was a female, this can't be debated.[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 06:02, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

::::And in most cases I agree with that, however if a pokemon has a confirmed gender(as Meowstic does) and the pokemon(Chespin) knew it was a female the whole time as it can't be male, it's not the same thing. In this case, it's not an assumption of gender, as Meowstic can only be one or the other.

::::If a pokemon falls for a confirmed female pokemon, it is male and vice versa. The key word is confirmed her as just acting feminine isn't the same thing(Purrlion).[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] ([[User talk:1rkhachatryan|talk]]) 07:19, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
:::::Not remotely the case. You're completely assuming that Pokémon can only be attracted to the opposite gender, despite nothing official ever stating such.

==Chespin Gender XY114==
Chespin had a crush on a female Buneary, who preferred Bunnelby (confirmed male). Pancham also had a crush on that Buneary, and he's also confirmed male. Considering that Chespin already had a crush on a female Meowstic, I think this is good enough proof to say that Chespin is male.

:Having a crush on a certain gender Pokémon has never been used as proof before, it is conjecture assuming that only opposite genders can have a crush on each other.

::Please be aware that this is a ''children's anime''.

:::Sorry, it is Bulbapedia policy to not confirm genders from crushes, and staff members have given the same exact reasoning as I have just stated.

::::::We will '''not''' assume what the writers will and won't do, regardless of the laws in Japan. Gender is only confirmed through Attract or explicitly stated in the show, not behavioral patterns.

:::::::Besides what Tiddlywinks pointed out, I'd like to bring up that {{MTR}} fell madly in love with a Purrloin in [[BW044]] that was later revealed to be male.

::::::::Sorry to butt in and continue this arduous discussion(And I'm not debating staff policy this time), but the Purrloin example doesn't work:Said Purrloin wasn't being honest about its biological gender. Nor did it identify verbally(through Meowth or any other reliable translator or Attract/Captivate) as trans, bi or or gay. And neither does Meowth(unless under the influence of fermented, mildly psychotropic Berry Juice to James in the 4Kids era dub only). He(the Purrloin) was lying to manipulate the cast into doing what it wanted. So that isn't a concrete example because the plot of the episode in question:Also, Meowth identified it as female in his mind, and was attracted to said(untrue)femininity. He(Meowth) was NOT attracted to a identified male in a homosexual way nor was he attracted as if the Purrloin was a trans female, in either by intent, instinct, choice, arousal or sexuality. There is no solid, concrete proof of naturally transgender or homosexual Pokémon in the anime, despite the fact I believe that they could(and should)exist. Again, sorry to butt in, but I feel that the Purrloin from said episode is nether a good example of, nor identifies with any form of LGBTQA personalities, for the Pokémon anime..For what its worth, I'm bi. --[[User:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|BlisseyandtheAquaJets]] ([[User talk:BlisseyandtheAquaJets|talk]]) 09:18, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::Alright, maybe my example wasn't the best, but there are still plenty of other reasons to not determine a gender simply based on attraction.

Okay. First things first, just because a confirmed male Pokémon fell in love with a confirmed female Pokémon, it '''does not''' mean that any Pokémon that falls in love with that confirmed female Pokémon is a male. We '''will not''', repeat, '''will not''' base genders off of behavioral patterns like a crush. Genders are only confirmed via Attract/Cute Charm or is it is explicitly stated in the original Japanese episode. Secondly, BlisseyandtheAuaJets, no one implied that Purrloin was a transgender Pokémon, no one even said anything remotely close to that. The Purrloin acted feminine, but it '''does not''' mean we're implying that it is a transgender Pokémon. It acted feminine to the point that Meowth gained an attraction from it, and attraction comes in different forms, and the attraction we're thinking of is obviously not the same as yours.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:48, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
:Okay look I don't care what anyone says in response to this because this needs to be said. The policy is flawed and so is the logic that the moderators use and that doesn't apply only to the gender situation. You guys need to accept the fact that you've been wrong about a Pokémon's "assumed" gender not being it's confirmed gender. A prime example being Serena's Pancham you said he wasn't confirmed male even though there was evidence that said he is and you wrong. You need to accept the fact that when a Pokémon with a confirmed gender has a crush on another Pokémon it indicates what the other Pokémon's gender could be. You have little to no evidence that supports your arguments while we do have evidence. Just accept the fact that the way you do things is flawed.

:::::Did I say anything about outcome? No. And I said the flawed logic wasn't limited to just gender it applies to how they handle information in general from the anime. The logic used is "I haven't seen it so it doesn't exist/ hasn't happened" which is flawed logic. They've stated that established facts in the franchise don't always apply (Pokémon hatching from eggs, Pokémon evolve etc.) such as the aforementioned Froakie egg scenario (which I won). The only time they've acknowledged when a Pokémon's gender as been implied is with Ash's Greninja, honestly they could at least do that with Pokémon who's genders have been implied. It's not like they'd actually have to put in the article itself. {{unsigned|Flain}}

Veralann: /* Suggestion */

==Normal Starters==
Should Pikachu be considered a 'normal' starter? I mean, it isn't part of the Fire/Water/Grass triangle, and it can also be captured in the wild in many of the other games, something that no other starters have right now. It's also the starter only in one game (although, so have Colosseum Starters, XD Starter, and Ranger Starter). --[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 12:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
:Well, why not? The fact it is not part of the triangle does not disqualify him as a starter Pokémon. If we had a Dark/Fighting/Psych triangle, wouldn't still they be starters? Also, the Fire/Grass/Water triangle is already broken is some cases, like the 4th generation starters having second types after they evolve. In any case, he is undoubtedly a starter in the ranks of Squirtle and Charmander. He is given out by a professor (and our very original professor Oak in his case), is given in one of the "main" games of the series, and is a basic Pokémon. --[[User:Andrelvis|Andrelvis]] 15:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
::Well, don't forget that also, pretty much every starter gets a second type through evolution. Only ones who don't are Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Treecko. Hell, Bulbasaur has two types in its basic form.
::And I think the division's more on the games that are defined as the main RPG series vs the side games. After all, Pichu makes Pikachu a stage 1 now, in all technicalities. But, of course, Yellow is just as much a main game as Red, Blue, and Green are, unlike Colosseum and XD compared to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, even though all of them are RPGs. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

== To add to Trivia ==

I noticed this. Of the Grass starters up to and including Generation IV, all of the final forms have eight-letter English names. Venusaur, Meganium, Sceptile, and Torterra.

== To Remove from Trivia ==
"Usually upon evolution, the starter Pokémon gain another type. However, Blastoise, the three Johto starters' final forms (Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr), and Sceptile do not have a second type." This quote is not very accurate. The trivia itself lists 5 out of the 12 final evolutions of the main series' starters that don't gain a new type (technically it should be 6 of 13 because of [[Pikachu]]; which while it can't evolve in Yellow still does in every other version). 5 out of 12 is about 42%; which means that "usually" is used to define an occurance rate barely over 50% and is like saying Pokemon split equally into both [[gender|genders]] are "usually" one over the other. Additionally, only 6 of the 13 (about 46%) main series staters actually gain a new type out of evolution, as [[Bulbasaur]] starts with the {{type|Poison}}. I'm not sure if complete removal of this trivia is called for, but it definitely needs to be reworded. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 05:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Even though you can get the remaining two at the end of the game, let's not forget that Bayleef, Quilava, and Croconaw are somewhat "starter" Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum, since you need to snag one of them at the beginning of the adventure. Maybe they're like Eevee's evolutionary stones or shards in that their availability isn't immediate... However, one of the things that make them non-traditional starters is that the game doesn't explicitly ask you "you want this Pokémon, or this one, or this one?". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 03:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

==Gen IV type-trumping==
I just noticed something about the Sinnoh starters' final forms. Each of them gains a a type advantage over the starter it is weak to in some way:
*Torterra gains the Ground-type, which is super-effective against Infernape.
*Infernape gains the Fighting-type, which is super-effective against Empoleon's Steel-type.
*Empoleon gains the Steel-type, which gives it a resistance to Torterra's Grass-type (although it does give a weakness to Torterra's Ground-type (maybe for balance issues); however, being a Water-type, Empoleon can learn Ice-type attacks to deal super-effective damage against both of Torterra's types).
[[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:However, the steel type also renders Empoleon without a resistance to either of Infernape's types, thus actually making it WEAK to Infernape (at least to it's fighting type, and the steel offbalances the water resistance to fire). [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 11:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::Including Empoleon's ability to learn Ice moves, all the starters have moves which are super effective against the other two starters.

==Gary's Starter==
Is the statement "it caused many to hearken back to Pokémon Yellow, where the player starts with Pikachu, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee" the wrong way round because Pokemon Yellow was based on the anime and because Gary's true starter had not been revealed at the time, the makers made Eevee his starter, as the game required him to have a confirmed one? Therefore rather than people thinking this because that was his starter in Yellow, is it not much more likely that this was his starter in Yellow because people thought it was starter already? - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Gastlys mama}} ([[User talk:Gastlys mama|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gastlys mama|contribs]]) ''

== The mystical, amazing disappearing starter Pokemon! ==

I could have sworn I saw this discussed somewhere before, but for the life of me I can't find it now. Oh well.

Anyway, at some point in HGSS (not sure exactly when) the third starter Pokemon which wasn't chosen by the PC or the rival mysteriously vanishes from its place in Elm's lab. (The game text when the... whatever that machine is... is examined is something along the lines of, "Hey! The third Pokeball is gone! Was it given to someone?" though I can't be bothered to switch games in my DS to check for sure.) I figure that this is notable enough to go into the article, and I'd put it in there myself, but I quite honestly don't know if its disappearance is ever explained, and I figure that if it ''were'' explained that should go in the article too.

So can they still be considered starters?

== Trivia ==

Since I want no part in the edit war, I'm going to explain the trivia piece here:

<code>
As of [[Generation IV]], every '''starter-type''' in the main series (with the exception of {{p|Pikachu}}) has have one Pokémon in its final-stage of evolution to have a double weakness; {{p|Charizard}} is doubly weak to {{type|Rock}}, {{p|Swampert}} is doubly weak to {{type|Grass}} and {{p|Torterra}} is doubly weak to {{type|Ice}}.</code>

It doesn't say by generation. It says by starter ''type''. That means Fire, Water, and Grass.
Charizard, Torterra, and Swampert are members of these respective types and have double weaknesses. The trivia, meaning-wise, is fine. (Unless one were to count Bulbasaur's Poison typing...)

So yeah, if you're going to remove it, remove it for a different reason plz and thanks.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:33, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== Should Mystery Dungeon initial Pokémon be considered starters? ==

I've looked through Mystery Dungeon: Blue's manual, Bulbapedia's pages on all three sets of games, and the official Explorers of Sky webpage and have seen no mention of the initial Pokémon from MD as "starters", just "Hero Pokémon" (for the player) and "Partner Pokémon" (for the partner). They seem to lack the basic criteria for being starters (the initial Pokémon owned by a ''trainer''), even more so than the Ranger's [[Partner Pokémon]] which were already deemed not to be starters. Now I'll admit I never even played through Blue fully (and never played the others), so there may be something in-game, but I think we should separate them into their own ''Hero and Partner Pokémon'' page or something, as they don't seem to belong here.

== New Trivia (yeah, I know it's a little big already) ==

(First time, forgive me if I screw this up horribly)

Since Pikachu knows Thundershock, Yellow is the only main series game in which the player's starter pokemon begins play with a STAB move. Incidentally, the Rival's starter also has a STAB move, as Eevee knows tackle and is of the normal-type.

There's probably a better way of wording this. but I thought it was neat.

== Definition of starter Pokémon ==

I've always thought of starter Pokémon as meaning the sets of three Pokémon that are given by the professor, not merely a Trainer's first Pokémon. I don't mind including Pikachu and Eevee, ''that'' much (although I'm still uncertain about them), adding Marill and Ralts, and calling things like [[Growlie]] "starter Pokémon" just seems wrong to me. If people really want to list Trainer's first Pokémon, then I think that page should be at {{redlink|first Pokémon}}; however, IMO starter Pokémon should refer only to Bulbasaur, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, and maybe Pikachu and Eevee if you really want. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

[[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 10:50, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Splitting like that completely ignores the point. The idea is that the Pokémon I listed are a group of Pokémon, while this page just lists the first Pokémon of a bunch of Trainers. If we want to redefine starter Pokémon as "the first Pokémon a Trainer owns" rather than the traditional "the three Pokémon that Trainers can choose from to start their journey" and give the traditional grouping their own name, then while I wouldn't prefer it, it would be better than what we have now. What I'm saying is that we have a distinct group of Pokémon that the fandom have always called "starter Pokémon", and this page seems to have merged that group with everyone's first Pokémon. So regardless of what you want to call "starter Pokémon", the traditional starter Pokémon need a separate page from people's first Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
::::For what it's worth, I would define the starter pokemon as the sets of three plus Pikachu and Eevee. We categorize pokemon beyond their obvious classification by their secondary characteristics. Legendary Pokemon, other than those explicitly called out as such, are typically unique pokemon within the games that may or may not have a defining role in the story- even beginning trainers have a pretty good idea what you're talking about when you say "legendary". Pseudo-Legendaries bear some explanation, but fall within obviously recognizable parameters- 600 base stats, typically a double weakness to something, general badassedness, etc. The "starters" of the main series of games are typically in line in terms of stats and evolutions without significant variation- It would not surprise me if next generation we had to call out Charizard and Typhlosion as the exceptions to the "Fire/Fighting Rule". Spinoff series games should at best get their own page and at worst be merely mentioned on their own page. "Games" that are effectively pokedexes shouldn't be listed at all outside the article affirming their existence, as there is no meaningful way to interact with them. Eevee and Pikachu get to be the exceptions because they ''are'' the exceptions- the only main series game not to play by their own rules. You might not even list Eevee, as it's not technically an option for the trainer- It's not a "starter" pokemon, it's a "rival" pokemon.[[User:TheHateHat|TheHateHat]] ([[User talk:TheHateHat|talk]]) 04:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

A "starter Pokémon" is a Pokémon given to Trainers when they begin their journey to get them started. Therefore, instances like Wally's Ralts are not starter Pokémon; it is his first Pokémon, and if people want that to have a page that's fine, but they shouldn't be here. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:33, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

== Eevee in Yellow ==

It seems strange to me that Eevee should be included as a starter Pokemon in Yellow on the bit at the bottom of pages about specific starter Pokemon. (Sorry don't know the correct technical term.) The player cannot start with Eevee. If the starter Pokemon of NPCs qualify for this definition of starter Pokemon then surely every known starter Pokemon for NPCs should be added to both of these sections in order to be logically consistent? If it is just because Blue is the rival of this game that his starter is notable why aren't the starters of Wally and Ethan/Lyra as NPCs? I understand their inclusion in the article but I don't understand how Blue's Eevee is any more notable than the starters of those two trainers, particularly not to the degree that it gets a mention at the bottom of the page when the others don't.

== Kanto Starters for X and Y ==

"Soon afterwards, Professor Sycamore will give the player a choice between one of the classic Kanto starter Pokémon, whom, upon reaching their final stages, will have access to Mega Evolved forms, given the prequisite Mega Stone."

This is more speculation than factual. We do not meet Professor Sycamore until Lumoise City. This was stated in the preview clips when he was released as well as stated on the main web site. Lumoise City is after the first Gym so the player has a good bit of play time before they ever meet Professor Sycamore in Lumoise. We also have not been given any information as to whether or not the Kanto Starters are Post Game hand outs like all other Non-Regional Starters are like in Pokemon Emerald and forward. Should probably wait for more information before saying we get two starters in the game since this has the makings of being post-game hand outs like they always end up.

:While I do believe we should wait till we have more information on this, I thought we had more reason to believe that the Kanto starters weren't post-game hand outs. First of all, I don't believe they revealed post-game starters before during pre-release. And second, I believe in the Pokémon Direct, the man asked Masuda if there was going to be anything different about this game. Masuda then answered by talking about Sycamore giving out one of the Kanto starters. If it was post-game, that wouldn't be different from previous games at all.

== Split ==

SnorlaxMonster suggested this {{DL|Talk:Starter Pokémon|Definition of starter Pokémon|in an above section}}, but nothing came of it, so I'm slapping on the split template so that hopefully, even if no consensus comes of discussion, it'll go to the staff on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/candidates-merging-moving-mainspacing-splitting-discussion-thread-114138/ the forum thread]. I propose that the traditional Grass/Fire/Water trios comprise an article, and all other Pokémon that Trainers in various media start with comprise another. I suggest ''Starter Pokémon'' and ''First Pokémon'', respectively, but any number of other names are also possible. The main thing is that the Grass/Fire/Water trios differ significantly from starting Pokémon in side games, the anime, the manga, etc. The two sets need to be treated separately.

Whether to include the Pikachu and Eevee from Yellow is a bone of contention that I'd prefer not to overshadow this, but since it's relevant, I will give my opinion on it. Under no circumstances should Eevee be included, because it's the rival's, not the players. (Same conditions as Marill and Ralts.) Pikachu's more of a gray area, but it doesn't fill the same role statistically or in availability in any other game, so I feel it also doesn't belong with the Grass/Fire/Water trios despite being a starting Pokémon for the player in the main series.[[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:The only issue I have with this is that there is still the issue of Orre and Pokétopia, though it sounds like under the proposal it would be a First Pokémon over a Starter Pokémon. My two cents is that there is a bit of gray area currently, though they are called "the big three" for Japanese players. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
::If a "starter Pokemon" is something you get to choose, then none of Orre, Poketopia, or Yellow will count. Your "first Pokemon" is just something you're saddled with, then. I don't have a big problem with that sort of definition. As things stand, though, Poketopia's inclusion seems pretty dumb, to me. I like Colo and XD counting, because those actually have stories (like the main games) besides connecting with main games; but it doesn't seem that PBR has a story. It just seems like a glorified Pokemon Stadium. I'm not a fan of it "counting", period, whether for "starters" (of whatever definition) or "firsts" (I think).

:::I feel as though "starter Pokémon" should refer only to the generation Grass-Fire-Water trios. I can accept Pikachu and Eevee under some interpretations, but I really don't think they count. "Starter Pokémon" is an official term, the problem is that it's difficult to find it actually defined (but I don't believe I've ever seen it used to describe Pikachu or Eevee); perhaps if somewhere the "Kanto starter Pokémon" is used to refer to Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, that could count as excluding Pikachu and Eevee from being starters. Regardless, I think the generational elemental trios clearly share commonalities that Eevee and Pikachu do not. I don't even know if "first Pokémon" deserves a page, but I certainly think that info does not belong here. (Also, thanks for reviving my suggestion. I have a bunch that I've put forward in many places that even I've forgotten about, so it's always nice to see someone else take interest.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
::::While I feel like "Starter Pokémon" usually refers to the generation Grass-Fire-Water trios, I don't feel like special cases like Pikachu should be excluded/ignored (especially since Pokémon Yellow was a main series game). I don't agree with the rival's Pokémon being listed though, because they're never given to the player and thus technically not Starter Pokémon for us. It really depends how we're defining starter Pokémon, because if we're describing them as "First Pokémon, distributed or given without having to catch them, usually by a Professor" then Pikachu fits in that definition. Even if we decide to remove Pikachu and co. from the page, I'd at least like to see Pikachu listed somewhere.

::I find splitting Starter Pokémon from First Pokémon redundant. Not only do they have similar meanings, your starters are your first Pokémon, which is why they are called starters in the first place.

== Kalos starters gender ratio ==

Okay so I have played through both x and y a few diferent times here and only ONCE has there been a male fennekin. My fist play through of Y I choose fennekin and she was female. Shaunas Chespin was also female. Further more I have started quite a few different play through in X due to always losing my nuzlocks and first go my forkie was female and shaunas fennekin was also female. second time through my froakie was male but still shauna fennekin was female. Ive also gotten 3 resets in a row female chespin.
I dont know about froakie and chespin but Im PRETTY POSITIVE fennekins line is 75% female. Ive only seen 1 male fennekin in a lets play on youtube as well out of about 5 lets plays Ive watched.
Im also fairly certain that frokie's line is 50/50 on gender and maybe chespins.
I dont belive anyone can go through the code as of yet but Id like some proof at its still 75% the starter is male. I believe the reason they did that in gen 2 was so starters were more rare if you didnt know about ditto but that trend has kinda gotten out dated with everyone knowing of ditto and such.
So yeah I believe the gender ratio should be unknown of the kalos starters until we can get official proof of it.
I will say I have not done any breeding of the starters yet but think Ill start filling up a box for each one and post my results.

--[[User:Furry|Furry]] ([[User talk:Furry|talk]]) 02:22, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

: All of the starters have always had the same gender ratio, so not only is it probably safe to assume that the Kalos starters are the same but also people have the ability to see the coding of the games and as such we come up with the gender ratios for the Pokemon.

Also, almost all of the starters I have are male.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 17:32, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

== Kalos secondary triangle ==

The Kalos starters have, in their final forms, two type triangles: Grass/Fire/Water and Fighting/Psychic/Dark. This is notable. Yet it [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Starter_Pok%C3%A9mon&curid=1162&diff=2134311&oldid=2134310 was removed].

But, you say: Dark is ''immune'' to Psychic rather than just being resistant. Well...so? Practically speaking, that is a trivial difference. If I put {{p|Braixen}} in against {{p|Chesnaught}}, Braixen has little to fear from Chesnaught's STAB moves whereas Chesnaught must fear any of Braixen's STAB moves. By the same token, if I put {{p|Greninja}} in against Braixen, Greninja has little to fear from Braixen's STAB moves whereas Braixen must fear any of Greninja's STAB moves. It's basically irrelevant that Greninja has ''even less'' to fear from Braixen than Braixen/Chesnaught do from Chesnaught/Greninja. The essential fact remains: by their typings (in their final forms), each of the starters has the advantage, ''both offensivley and defensively'', against another one of the starters in a triangular fashion.

It is irrelevant that Dark is immune to Psychic. The essential fact of "This Pokemon can do well against that one but not against the other one" is exactly the same. Both triangles are valid and this second one deserves noting. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:38, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

: I think the inital trivia note on it before it was changed is valid
::* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle, being broken by the fact that the Dark type is immune to the Psychic type.

:::That I wouldn't mind since it's not stating that the Dark/Psychic/Fighting creates a triangle that is exactly like the Grass/Fire/Water cycle.

:::::The triangle is where the types are super effective to one type and resists the other.

== Other in-game starters ==

Is that section really necessary? Obviously not every Pokémon Trainer starts out with the same starter Pokémon - Falkner uses his dad's Pokémon, not the starters, and dozens of random NPCs could be running around with Pokémon from the Professors (even if not these specific species), yet the few who mention their first Pokémon say they got them from their parents or something of the sort. For instance, [[Sinnoh Route 204|Youngster Tyler's Magikarp and Starly]] are from his dad if memory serves. Do we ''need'' a section showing all of the known NPC starters? I definitely think only the players' starters belong on this page, except MAYBE Eevee since it was at least ''intended'' for the player; things like Wally's Ralts and Ethan's/Lyra's Marill don't belong here in my opinion.

Saying you're "warning" someone of something like you did implies that you have the authority to enforce a punishment if they do not heed you. You do not. Only staff does. Please be careful about your wording in the future. If you're concerned enough, you can always bring an issue to a staff member's attention.

Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 10:03, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

== <nowiki>"[[the next episode]]" vs "the [[next episode]]"</nowiki> ==

Out of curiosity, I thought I would ask why you are making these edits to the SMxxx pages, since you seem rather set on it given your edit summary on your reversion of playerking's edit. To me, there seems to be little reason to prefer one over the other. I am merely curious, and I do not think you're doing anything wrong (though please, do try to avoid an edit war if your edits get reverted again for whatever reason). [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 22:14, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

::That's called pettiness. Don't change something because you don't like it or it triggers you.

== Final Warning on Edit Warring ==

This is becoming a recurring problem for you, if you have a problem with a reversion, discuss it with the user that reverted you, don't just revert them on the spot. And no, before you go "I only reverted once", it doesn't matter. You still chose to revert the edit rather than come to me and talk about it. Your edits were based off petty reasons like "I don't like it". I'm sorry, but we're not going to cater the site for your nitpicky needs. The "the" shouldn't be in the link because it's not part of the context of the link. This will serve as a final warning on edit warring, if you disagree with someone reverting your edits, '''go to their talk page and discuss it''', DO NOT revert them until a consensus is reached. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

== Characters of the day getting history sections ==

It isn't really necessary to revert someone because of an unexplained edit, such as what happened on [[Special:Diff/2585370|Mabel]]'s page. In this case, I explained it [[Special:Diff/2581848|here]] but didn't put it on Mabel's page as I felt it would be redundant. As for CoTD's getting history sections, I removed them because they only appeared in one episode (at most in the main series) and the history section is for characters who appeared in at least two episodes. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:56, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

:Is there any rule on that? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:57, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
::I haven't really found where it said so but many edit summaries in the past stated that CoTDs don't get history sections. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:13, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Well, if there's no precedent, then this so-called rule shouldn't apply, should it? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
::::That, I can't say. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:25, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:::::What in the world do you mean, no precedent, GrammarFreak01? Precedent would be every other page that doesn't have it. It in fact seems that you were the one who added the History sections to the pages linked above. I.e., until your edit, it seems the page's ''precedent'' was no History section. And no one else who touched those pages thought a History section was needed. I've also noticed that a significant number of COTD pages that have History sections seem to have been added by you relatively recently. And even then, the great majority of COTD pages still don't have a History section.
:::::FWIW, I'm not really into the anime pages a lot, but your comment makes no sense, GrammarFreak01. Even granting that you may have misspoken, it still contradicts the structure of the majority of COTD pages; the ''precedent''. Honestly, I'm not ''certain'' what's most right, but I'm inclined to stand by the pretty clear precedent... It makes reasonable sense.

Just because you didn't hit the undo button or you did and you emptied out the edit summary, doesn't mean you did not revert an edit. I told you not to revert/add back information that you changed and someone else undid, I told you to go to their talk page. But you didn't. I'll go through them one by one. The blurbs are from Pokemon.com and are '''meant''' to be unchanged from the source, regardless of punctuation or grammar errors. CoTDs don't get history sections, some do because ''you'' added them. Give me a CoTD that has a history section that you did not add, because the majority that I checked were added by you. Lastly, Marina being an idol is just speculation, she could just be plain old modelling, nothing to do with being an idol. Anyway, since you failed to adhere to my final warning above, you have been blocked for a week.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:49, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

== Blocked, again ==

Due to continually reverting edits rather than going to the talk page, you have been blocked for one week, one day per reversion. I have already told you to not revert an edit you disagree with, bring it up to the talk page of the user that reverted you. This is a common problem for you, you don't think to go to the talk page rather than reverting. You always pull the trigger even though you know the consequences. If you continue to make several reversions and ignore the talk page, the penalty '''will''' be harsher.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:16, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

== Code of conduct ==

Your recent edits to the talk pages of [[Special:Diff/2673760|Kittystyler]] and [[Special:Diff/2673766|Erica124]] display signs of aggression. As far as I've noticed your contributions, this is somewhat of a habit you have (including attempting to [[#Giving warnings|give warnings]]), and that simply isn't kosher. Play nice. If you have a problem with another user, take it to a {{bp|staff}} member and let them sort it out, don't comment on their talk page if you can't be constructive.

Please familiarize yourself with our {{bp|code of conduct}} and make every effort to be polite and respectful in your interactions with other users in the future. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:23, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

::::May I remind you who got blocked twice for edit warring and not using the talk page? You are walking a very thin line.

Please stop edit warring. If you have a problem with policy, '''take it up with the staff'''.

I saw you doing these updating pages but please do not do those on TCG pages. There are much more to do in these pages, not only the ones you are editing.

== Preview ==

You've been informed once before about the preview button. And you're a habitual enough user that you should really know how to use it well. Instead of editing a page like [[Ash's Greninja]] many times for progressive little—or even big—things, if you're planning on continuing to work on the page essentially immediately, just save it all up and do it all in one edit. There's no race, there's no real issue if you just wait to only save once. Please remember to be smart about previewing and saving. Thanks.

::Use your imagination! ^^ Let me give you a suggestion. If you're on a computer, just use a text editor to copy out bits of the text a time and edit those. If you're on a phone or something, then it may be good enough to just throw a bunch of newlines before/after paragraphs that you want to focus on; you can easily remove them later when you're finished with editing that part and move on to the next part.
::We'd really appreciate if you limit the number of times you edit the same page in succession. I'm sure it's not all ''that'' great a problem.

== Content changes and removal ==

Please do not remove or change content without giving a valid reason for doing so, as you did [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pikachu_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=next&oldid=2722829 here] and with several edits changing "first appeared in" to "debuted". Your edits do not appear to be constructive. [[User:MasterBraixen96|MasterBraixen96]] ([[User talk:MasterBraixen96|talk]]) 01:14, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

:In regards to the provided diff, it is part of a self-appointed campaign to find and remove so-called "appearances" that I've recently been informed do not count, such as photos, toys, etc. In regards to the edits where I change "first appeared in" to "debuted", I just find it simpler that way. There's no harm in that, right? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:30, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

== Headers and no content ==

While I can understand your thinking of "just in case", it has been an unwritten policy on Bulbapedia that a section header is not needed if there is no content. Just in case is not a valid reason to keep something. Go look at other pages and you will see common headers such as trivia, one of the mot common ones, completely missing from many pages because there is nothing to put there. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

:Well, I have seen section headers with no content on numerous Pokémon and episode articles. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 04:40, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

== Creating pages ==

As a rule, please ask someone on {{bp|staff}} about creating a new page before you actually do it.

There may be some pages that will always need to be created. I believe characters of the day are an example, so that case isn't a problem. But otherwise it's probably best to just check in with a member of staff before you create a page, especially if the content is already on an existing page.

Please keep this in mind if you're thinking about making another page like [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]] in the future. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

:Okay, thanks for the heads-up. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

== Consecutive links ==

Since you edit a lot, I thought it'd be worth bringing this to your attention. Please do not make links like [[Special:Diff/2731733|this]]. Consecutive links on words that are not plainly separate are just a bad idea all around, but especially so for mobile users who can't even tell what each link is without tediously checking each one.

In this case, I don't think the links to those episodes are all that useful, so I've just reverted it here. But in other cases, there are other solutions that work very well. Like, for example, just adding a parenthetical somewhere appropriate in the sentence with the links there.

== Cyndaquil and Chimchar ==

Could you please explain why you removed my additions to the trivia section on [[Cyndaquil]] and [[Chimchar]]? The reason you have given is "meaningless", however that is the meaning of trivia, meaningless information with little or no use. Should all trivia sections be removed? Also, I would argue that it is useful to some readers, who may want to pick a starter which will evolve more quickly (and therefore have a more powerful Pokémon earlier in the game).

== Your edit summary on Brionne ==

You say Playerking95 is "freaking out over mere wording", but I have to say I agree with him: your edits frequently seem like pointless reshuffling from one acceptable wording to another, made for the sole reason of fluffing up your edit count, and this is more of that pattern. I can barely use my watchlist anymore because it's so full of your edits, and I would like to cordially but firmly express my displeasure with your editing patterns. Thank you.

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section.

If you want to edit two separate sections... Say, open both sections as well as an "edit this page". Preview the separate sections until you've got them fixed up exactly how you want them. Then copy those sections, go to the edit window for the whole page, and paste them into the correct places in there. And save that. (That's about the simplest way to explain it I guess, but once you understand what I mean you can mix it up a bit if it's more convenient.)

That comment was unnecessary, you weren't part of the sprayduck edit war, so butt out.

== Block ==

Due to your habit of removing talk page comments from your talk pages for no reason at all, I have given you a one month block. I decided to go with a harsher block because this is something that you commonly do, and I suspect that you do it because you are just plain salty. The last time you did this on your talk page, you '''pointlessly''' removed and added back comments in a section ''about making pointless edits''. If you're upset, fine, but don't remove talk page comments out of spite. If you come back and continue to remove talk page comments, a harsher penalty '''will''' be dealt. I also will not tolerate you responding with ":(" when you come back, like you usually do when you get warnings, because that implies you are not taking these warnings seriously.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:15, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

Alright, lets get one thing straight. You have a history of making pointless edits. You have a history of getting into edit wars. You have a history of getting into arguments with other users. You have a history of being aggressive. And you have a history of refusing to listen to staff. So based on your history, I will not be unblocking you. We will not be lenient with you, because as it stands, it does not look like you will change your behavior. And you continuously commenting here, and removing it in the end, proves that you have not read my comment at all and have no intent on reading or heeding it. BEcause of your antics, I have extended your block by an extra week. This is your last lifeline. If you continue to act like a spoiled brat, going into edit wars and throwing a tantrum when things don't go your way, you '''will''' be moved on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:37, 13 February 2018 (UTC)

== Page histories ==

Just FYI, telling someone [[User talk:Simone the Digger#Your edit|like here]] to check a page's history before making edits is, honestly, kind of ridiculous.

For one thing, edit summaries are often blank, and it's certainly not reasonable to ask anyone to manually check more or less every past edit to see what they were all about.

For another thing, no one ''really'' thinks like that. Long-time users know about issues because they're paying attention. You simply can't blame a new user for not having any idea about past situations. But I really doubt most long-time users make any regular practice of checking a page's history either. I don't. I just know about what I've noticed.

You can't lay such a burden as that on a person. We're all here to help everyone. If someone simply didn't know something...just let them know. ("Hey, FYI [stuff], thanks.")

While I'm here, [[User talk:Darkmist13#Your edit|this note]] also has room for improvement. "An edit such as this" is kind of meaningless (this applies equally to the other page referred to above); you may know what you think makes that edit more problematic than another, but they can't guess at that. If I were discussing that with the user, I would have said that 1) character names should follow their page names, and 2) character names are usually very important and should as a rule be discussed if you think a change is needed.

As a final note, new users may not need a talking to for one mistake. People are allowed to make mistakes, and we don't want to come off like we're jumping on a new user. Notes become more advisable if issues persist. In short: be sure to give it careful thought.

I've kind of said it before, but please give careful thought to whether you need to jump into a given conversation. If you have something actually unique to contribute, by all means, speak up. I think you should really start to recognize when a staff member has stepped in on what can be considered an "official" matter, though. (If they're just teaching/helping, that's a bit of a different matter.) The fact of the matter is, if staff is handling that sort of thing, you should probably leave it to staff unless (again) you ''really'' have something unique to add. Otherwise, staff is very well equipped to make any response necessary themselves. It's honestly not really your place at that point to emphasize a warning or whatever.

:It's not appropriate to express my annoyance at that user like you did? I feel guilty about enabling this user; I was the one who extended a warm welcome to this user and now they're already getting ahead of themselves and irking you admins in the process. I take this sequence of events to be a bit of a personal insult, which is why I keep butting in. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
::No. It is not appropriate to express your annoyance at someone. To be more plain, that is, itself, a form of bad behavior. Users may do it. But that does not make it the best way to handle ''any'' situation. Taking things personally and communicating in that mindset is a recipe for bad blood.
::Your comment added nothing. Your guilt is your problem, not Veralann's. Feeling insulted is honestly your problem. When staff handles it, you don't have any sort of right to butt in just because you feel hurt or whatever. That's only acting emotionally, not for any rational reason.

== Hello ==

Hi GrammarFreak. I read your message about being a little annoyed with me when I kept breaking the rules even when you were trying to guide me. I just wanted to apologize for that and acting rashly without thinking about how my actions might affect other people. To be honest, I tend to lose sight of that when I'm interacting online. I will try to do better and remember how my actions might make other people here feel. And I will also concentrate on being a good contributor to this encyclopedia. [[User:Veralann|'''Veralann'''''' (a.k.a. Incentive)''']] 01:42, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

And I do appreciate the help you have given me here so far. Thank you. I will try to start following your advice. [[User:Veralann|'''Veralann'''''' (a.k.a. Incentive)''']] 01:45, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --[[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:58, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

== AmourShipping hint ==

The last part of the XY059 Ash hint should be left as a sub bullet because it's stating a fact that's not really part of the original hint and going off on a tangent. It flows better that way. [[User:Ax3w|Ax3w]] ([[User talk:Ax3w|talk]]) 00:02, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

== Stop ==

Please stop messing up the pages. I'm serious. --[[User:HoennLove200|HoennLove200]] ([[User talk:HoennLove200|talk]]) 23:45, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

== Forme ==

I noticed that you've made this mistake on both [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&diff=prev&oldid=2496967 Ash Ketchum] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Clemont_(anime)&diff=next&oldid=2498318 Clemont (anime)], so I figured I should explain it to you here instead of hoping you'll read edit summaries.

"Forme" is a very specific official term that we use ''only'' for forms that use the term "Forme" in the in-game Pokédex. (These are mostly Legendary and Mythical Pokémon, with a couple of exceptions.) Everything else gets the generic word "form." You can check whether something uses "Forme" on the [[List of Pokémon with form differences]] article. If you're referring to Ash-Greninja, you should always use "form", never "Forme." Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:40, 3 September 2016 (UTC)

== Block ==

Due to your involvement in the edit war with Playerking95, the staff has decided to block you for one week for edit warring. Next time, if you see someone revert your edit, don't revert them back. Discuss it with them and sort it out. After your block , I want you to try and discuss things rather than running for the undo button. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:36, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

== Edit Warring ==

Hey there, over the past couple of weeks I've noticed you've been consistently removing similar contributions made by Kittystyler on a variety of pages. As you should know, this is considered edit warring, which is disruptive to the overall editing process on Bulbapedia. If you disagree with the edits that someone else has made, please contact that user on their talk page or discuss the issue on the talk page of the article(s) that the dispute is on. Continuing to edit war after this warning will result in a block. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 23:49, 1 January 2017 (UTC)

== Giving warnings ==

Regarding [[User talk:Kittystyler#Grammar]], please understand that you do not have the authority to give someone a "warning" about something. Saying you're "warning" someone of something like you did implies that you have the authority to enforce a punishment if they do not heed you. You do not. Only staff does. Please be careful about your wording in the future. If you're concerned enough, you can always bring an issue to a staff member's attention.

Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 10:03, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

== <nowiki>"[[the next episode]]" vs "the [[next episode]]"</nowiki> ==

Out of curiosity, I thought I would ask why you are making these edits to the SMxxx pages, since you seem rather set on it given your edit summary on your reversion of playerking's edit. To me, there seems to be little reason to prefer one over the other. I am merely curious, and I do not think you're doing anything wrong (though please, do try to avoid an edit war if your edits get reverted again for whatever reason). [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 22:14, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

::That's called pettiness. Don't change something because you don't like it or it triggers you.

== Final Warning on Edit Warring ==

This is becoming a recurring problem for you, if you have a problem with a reversion, discuss it with the user that reverted you, don't just revert them on the spot. And no, before you go "I only reverted once", it doesn't matter. You still chose to revert the edit rather than come to me and talk about it. Your edits were based off petty reasons like "I don't like it". I'm sorry, but we're not going to cater the site for your nitpicky needs. The "the" shouldn't be in the link because it's not part of the context of the link. This will serve as a final warning on edit warring, if you disagree with someone reverting your edits, '''go to their talk page and discuss it''', DO NOT revert them until a consensus is reached. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:28, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

== Characters of the day getting history sections ==

It isn't really necessary to revert someone because of an unexplained edit, such as what happened on [[Special:Diff/2585370|Mabel]]'s page. In this case, I explained it [[Special:Diff/2581848|here]] but didn't put it on Mabel's page as I felt it would be redundant. As for CoTD's getting history sections, I removed them because they only appeared in one episode (at most in the main series) and the history section is for characters who appeared in at least two episodes. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 23:56, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

:Is there any rule on that? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 23:57, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
::I haven't really found where it said so but many edit summaries in the past stated that CoTDs don't get history sections. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:13, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:::Well, if there's no precedent, then this so-called rule shouldn't apply, should it? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:15, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
::::That, I can't say. [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:25, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
:::::What in the world do you mean, no precedent, GrammarFreak01? Precedent would be every other page that doesn't have it. It in fact seems that you were the one who added the History sections to the pages linked above. I.e., until your edit, it seems the page's ''precedent'' was no History section. And no one else who touched those pages thought a History section was needed. I've also noticed that a significant number of COTD pages that have History sections seem to have been added by you relatively recently. And even then, the great majority of COTD pages still don't have a History section.
:::::FWIW, I'm not really into the anime pages a lot, but your comment makes no sense, GrammarFreak01. Even granting that you may have misspoken, it still contradicts the structure of the majority of COTD pages; the ''precedent''. Honestly, I'm not ''certain'' what's most right, but I'm inclined to stand by the pretty clear precedent... It makes reasonable sense.

The blurbs are from Pokemon.com and are '''meant''' to be unchanged from the source, regardless of punctuation or grammar errors. CoTDs don't get history sections, some do because ''you'' added them. Give me a CoTD that has a history section that you did not add, because the majority that I checked were added by you. Lastly, Marina being an idol is just speculation, she could just be plain old modelling, nothing to do with being an idol.

== Blocked, again ==

Due to continually reverting edits rather than going to the talk page, you have been blocked for one week, one day per reversion. I have already told you to not revert an edit you disagree with, bring it up to the talk page of the user that reverted you. This is a common problem for you, you don't think to go to the talk page rather than reverting. You always pull the trigger even though you know the consequences. If you continue to make several reversions and ignore the talk page, the penalty '''will''' be harsher.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:16, 19 May 2017 (UTC)

== Code of conduct ==

Your recent edits to the talk pages of [[Special:Diff/2673760|Kittystyler]] and [[Special:Diff/2673766|Erica124]] display signs of aggression. As far as I've noticed your contributions, this is somewhat of a habit you have (including attempting to [[#Giving warnings|give warnings]]), and that simply isn't kosher. Play nice. If you have a problem with another user, take it to a {{bp|staff}} member and let them sort it out, don't comment on their talk page if you can't be constructive.

== Preview ==

You've been informed once before about the preview button. And you're a habitual enough user that you should really know how to use it well. Instead of editing a page like [[Ash's Greninja]] many times for progressive little—or even big—things, if you're planning on continuing to work on the page essentially immediately, just save it all up and do it all in one edit.

::Use your imagination! ^^ Let me give you a suggestion. If you're on a computer, just use a text editor to copy out bits of the text a time and edit those. If you're on a phone or something, then it may be good enough to just throw a bunch of newlines before/after paragraphs that you want to focus on; you can easily remove them later when you're finished with editing that part and move on to the next part.
::We'd really appreciate if you limit the number of times you edit the same page in succession. I'm sure it's not all ''that'' great a problem.

== Content changes and removal ==

Please do not remove or change content without giving a valid reason for doing so, as you did [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pikachu_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=next&oldid=2722829 here] and with several edits changing "first appeared in" to "debuted".

:In regards to the provided diff, it is part of a self-appointed campaign to find and remove so-called "appearances" that I've recently been informed do not count, such as photos, toys, etc. In regards to the edits where I change "first appeared in" to "debuted", I just find it simpler that way. There's no harm in that, right? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:30, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

== Headers and no content ==

While I can understand your thinking of "just in case", it has been an unwritten policy on Bulbapedia that a section header is not needed if there is no content. Just in case is not a valid reason to keep something. Go look at other pages and you will see common headers such as trivia, one of the mot common ones, completely missing from many pages because there is nothing to put there. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 04:38, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

== Creating pages ==

As a rule, please ask someone on {{bp|staff}} about creating a new page before you actually do it.

There may be some pages that will always need to be created. I believe characters of the day are an example, so that case isn't a problem. But otherwise it's probably best to just check in with a member of staff before you create a page, especially if the content is already on an existing page.

Please keep this in mind if you're thinking about making another page like [[Ash's Pikachu (M20)]] in the future. Thanks. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:43, 18 January 2018 (UTC)

:Okay, thanks for the heads-up. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:47, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

== Consecutive links ==

Since you edit a lot, I thought it'd be worth bringing this to your attention. Please do not make links like [[Special:Diff/2731733|this]]. Consecutive links on words that are not plainly separate are just a bad idea all around, but especially so for mobile users who can't even tell what each link is without tediously checking each one.

In this case, I don't think the links to those episodes are all that useful, so I've just reverted it here. But in other cases, there are other solutions that work very well. Like, for example, just adding a parenthetical somewhere appropriate in the sentence with the links there.

== Cyndaquil and Chimchar ==

Could you please explain why you removed my additions to the trivia section on [[Cyndaquil]] and [[Chimchar]]? The reason you have given is "meaningless", however that is the meaning of trivia, meaningless information with little or no use. Should all trivia sections be removed? Also, I would argue that it is useful to some readers, who may want to pick a starter which will evolve more quickly (and therefore have a more powerful Pokémon earlier in the game).

You say Playerking95 is "freaking out over mere wording", but I have to say I agree with him: your edits frequently seem like pointless reshuffling from one acceptable wording to another, made for the sole reason of fluffing up your edit count, and this is more of that pattern. I can barely use my watchlist anymore because it's so full of your edits, and I would like to cordially but firmly express my displeasure with your editing patterns. Thank you.

Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button.

Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section.

== Playerking ==

That comment was unnecessary, you weren't part of the sprayduck edit war, so butt out.

Due to your habit of removing talk page comments from your talk pages for no reason at all, I have given you a one month block. I decided to go with a harsher block because this is something that you commonly do, and I suspect that you do it because you are just plain salty. The last time you did this on your talk page, you '''pointlessly''' removed and added back comments in a section ''about making pointless edits''. If you're upset, fine, but don't remove talk page comments out of spite. If you come back and continue to remove talk page comments, a harsher penalty '''will''' be dealt.

Alright, lets get one thing straight. You have a history of making pointless edits. You have a history of getting into edit wars. You have a history of getting into arguments with other users. You have a history of being aggressive. And you have a history of refusing to listen to staff. So based on your history, I will not be unblocking you. We will not be lenient with you, because as it stands, it does not look like you will change your behavior. And you continuously commenting here, and removing it in the end, proves that you have not read my comment at all and have no intent on reading or heeding it. BEcause of your antics, I have extended your block by an extra week. This is your last lifeline.

How many times do we have to tell you to stop fixing what's not broken? Remember, you got in trouble for this before. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 04:56, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

:I apologize for that. I swear, I'm really trying to slow everything down on my end. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 03:23, 29 March 2018 (UTC)

== Re: Hello ==

Nope, I joined Bulbapedia as an editor this month, although I have edited for other wikis over the past seven years. But I guess that's a compliment. [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 06:05, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
: Also, yes, that edit on [[Team Rocket trio]] was in error, possibly from copy-pasting. Sorry about that. [[User:TardisTybort|TardisTybort]] ([[User talk:TardisTybort|talk]]) 06:07, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
:I see. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 08:00, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

::I highly doubt so though. But that's my opinion. I'm no mod. --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 01:10, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
:::Me neither. But I try to look on the bright side first and foremost. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:10, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

== AmourShipping ==

Do you support the points you re-added to the AmourShipping page? Or did you purely revert them because there was no edit summary/reason given? Because the GREAT majority of edits all around BP are made without any edit summary at all; it's not a reason to revert an edit. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:11, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

:Both. I do support some hints, namely the ones where Ash calls Serena out by name even though there are others in the same approximate vicinity as him and he could've called them out as well. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:12, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

:I apologize if I didn't make that part clear in my earlier edit summary. I probably should've made that clear in the new user's talk page as well. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:18, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

== Gen VI spelling ==

If it's an anime article, it's fine to use the post Gen VI spelling, even for pre-Gen VI related articles. It's just games, manga, or books that need to use the spelling appropriate to their generation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:04, 15 April 2018 (UTC)

==Gladion's Umbreon==
Just to say thanks for your help with my Gladion's Umbreon page.
:You're welcome. :) [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:23, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

== Page histories ==

Just FYI, telling someone [[User talk:Simone the Digger#Your edit|like here]] to check a page's history before making edits is, honestly, kind of ridiculous.

For one thing, edit summaries are often blank, and it's certainly not reasonable to ask anyone to manually check more or less every past edit to see what they were all about.

For another thing, no one ''really'' thinks like that. Long-time users know about issues because they're paying attention. You simply can't blame a new user for not having any idea about past situations. But I really doubt most long-time users make any regular practice of checking a page's history either. I don't. I just know about what I've noticed.

You can't lay such a burden as that on a person. We're all here to help everyone. If someone simply didn't know something...just let them know. ("Hey, FYI [stuff], thanks.")

While I'm here, [[User talk:Darkmist13#Your edit|this note]] also has room for improvement. "An edit such as this" is kind of meaningless (this applies equally to the other page referred to above); you may know what you think makes that edit more problematic than another, but they can't guess at that. If I were discussing that with the user, I would have said that 1) character names should follow their page names, and 2) character names are usually very important and should as a rule be discussed if you think a change is needed.

As a final note, new users may not need a talking to for one mistake. People are allowed to make mistakes, and we don't want to come off like we're jumping on a new user. Notes become more advisable if issues persist. In short: be sure to give it careful thought.

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:18, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

:Sorry, my bad. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:45, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

== Brock (anime) Trivia ==
I appreciate your diligence when it comes to grammar. Though my point about Brock (anime) in the Trivia section is valid. Trivia is about fun facts and anomalies regarding a particular topic, I've undone the change you made on the page.[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 05:38, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

:First off, the trivia was poorly formatted. Second of all, trivia also needs to have some sort of significance to the character or the scenario at hand. What exactly was it about that trivia that made him stand out in any particular way? If anything, the point of trivia seems more relevant to the episode page rather than the character article. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:39, 18 April 2018 (UTC)

:: I've noted that the point I was making was already present on the ep 249 page [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:59, 18 April 2018 (UTC)
:::Since when? [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:00, 19 April 2018 (UTC)

== Non-English speakers ==

Yes, we are an English wiki, but do understand that not everyone that comes on this site is going to have the most perfect English. If they have made an error, at least let them know of their mistake so that they can learn from it. The sentences you've removed weren't ''that'' bad, the errors were ''very'', ''very'' minor. If you don't know what they were trying to convey and were afraid that you would screw up the sentence, you could've either left it alone for someone else to check or '''asked''' the user what they meant. Again, not everyone that comes here is going to have perfect English, so don't expect that everyone is going to have high level English skills. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:01, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

:I do not appreciate him saying I was being racist, though, because I was not. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 05:26, 22 April 2018 (UTC)

== Autoconfirmed ==

The parameters of the autoconfirmed status are pretty much ''explicitly'' undisclosed to prevent users from joining and only doing what they "have to" to become autoconfirmed. Do not attempt to tell users even a guess at those parameters. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:31, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

:Well, they asked and I was trying to be nice. I didn't even know I was not supposed to do that. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 01:48, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

== Talk pages ==

I've thought before that you have a habit of jumping into conversations where it may not be necessary. I don't fully trust that I'm altogether unbiased and/or right about it, so I haven't said anything before, but [[Special:Diff/2791956|your comment here]] puts a toe over a line. I do not consider that there was any need for any further comment at that point. Your comment just puts more pressure on the user.

I've kind of said it before, but please give careful thought to whether you need to jump into a given conversation. If you have something actually unique to contribute, by all means, speak up. I think you should really start to recognize when a staff member has stepped in on what can be considered an "official" matter, though. (If they're just teaching/helping, that's a bit of a different matter.) The fact of the matter is, if staff is handling that sort of thing, you should probably leave it to staff unless (again) you ''really'' have something unique to add. Otherwise, staff is very well equipped to make any response necessary themselves. It's honestly not really your place at that point to emphasize a warning or whatever.

Thank you. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:38, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

:It's not appropriate to express my annoyance at that user like you did? I feel guilty about enabling this user; I was the one who extended a warm welcome to this user and now they're already getting ahead of themselves and irking you admins in the process. I take this sequence of events to be a bit of a personal insult, which is why I keep butting in. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 00:41, 17 May 2018 (UTC)
::No. It is not appropriate to express your annoyance at someone. To be more plain, that is, itself, a form of bad behavior. Users may do it. But that does not make it the best way to handle ''any'' situation. Taking things personally and communicating in that mindset is a recipe for bad blood.
::Your comment added nothing. Your guilt is your problem, not Veralann's. Feeling insulted is honestly your problem. When staff handles it, you don't have any sort of right to butt in just because you feel hurt or whatever. That's only acting emotionally, not for any rational reason. If it doesn't "need" saying, don't say it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:53, 17 May 2018 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Hi GrammarFreak. I read your message about being a little annoyed with me when I kept breaking the rules even when you were trying to guide me. I just wanted to apologize for that and acting rashly without thinking about how my actions might affect other people. To be honest, I tend to lose sight of that when I'm interacting online. I will try to do better and remember how my actions might make other people here feel. And I will also concentrate on being a good contributor to this encyclopedia.

'''Lycanroc''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルガルガン''' ''Lugarugan'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rockruff}} starting at level 25. The [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Lycanroc|form]] it takes upon evolving depends on the game it was evolved in.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun}}, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc when [[level]]ed up in the [[Time|day]].
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon}}, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc when [[level]]ed up at [[Time|night]].
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, a Rockruff with {{a|Own Tempo}} evolves into Dusk Form Lycanroc from 5 pm to 5:59 pm in in-game time (which is opposite the real time in Pokémon Ultra Moon).

==Biology==
Lycanroc is a canine Pokémon resembling a wolf. It has three possible forms: Midday Form, Midnight Form and Dusk Form.

In its Midday form, Lycanroc resembles a quadruped, light brown wolf. It has a white underbelly that extends up around its muzzle and eyes in a mask-like marking. It has pointed ears with dark brown tips and pink insides, big blue eyes, and a triangular, dark brown nose. There are four sharp fangs in its mouth: two in the upper jaw and two in the lower. Large tufts of brown fur extend from the sides of its head; three tufts on each side. A bushy, white mane covers its neck. Four dark brown rocks poke out of its mane, creating a shape similar to a stylized sun. The lower portions of this form's legs are white, and each foot has three dark brown claws. It also has a long, fluffy white tail.

In its Midnight Form, Lycanroc instead resembles a slouched, bipedal wolf or werewolf. It has short red fur with white on its lower legs, and a white streak that covers its face, underbelly, and tail. It has pointed, {{wp|Canine terminology#Ears|button ears}} with black tips, three large tufts of fur on each side of its face, a triangular black nose, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. While the sclerae, irises, and pupils of its eye are visible, they all glow a pinkish red and no distinctive colors are visible. A mane of fur covers its back and shoulders, sweeping forward over its head to form a crescent moon shape. On either side of its body, just below the shoulders, two small rocks resembling claws poke out of the mane. A single, bigger stone projects out of the front of the mane over its head. Each of this form's paws has three black claws, and it has a stubby tail covered in long fur.

Dusk Form greatly resembles the Midday Form, albeit with orange-gold fur and green eyes, as well as a fluffy mane on its neck reminiscent of its Midnight Form. When attacking, its eyes sometimes glow red like those of the Midnight Form.

In order to avoid needless fighting, the Midday Form prefers to live alone and does not form a pack with others of its kind. However, it is a fiercely loyal partner to Trainers that accept it during its unruly stage. In battle, it darts past opponents while attacking them with the rocks in its mane. These swift movements leave many foes bewildered.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midday-form/</ref>

In contrast, Lycanroc's Midnight Form is thrilled by battling, and becomes more excited the stronger its opponent. This excitement is what causes its eyes to glow. Its strategy consists of closing in on its opponent and encouraging attack, then countering with a powerful blow that knocks out its opponent. Trainers that can draw out its power earn its trust, but it despises those that it disagrees with or who try to force it to fight.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midnight-form/</ref>

The Dusk Form Lycanroc shares traits from the previous two forms. From the Midday Form, such as a four-legged stance and obedience toward its trusted Trainer, while from the Midnight Form, when it attacks its eyes turn red. Also, the four rocks like those of Midday Form, while the mane on its head matches that of Midnight Form. Little things don't shake the calm behavior of Dusk Form Lycanroc, but it carries an intense fighting spirit hidden within, which as a result, it relishes combat at close quarters. It is known to use Counter when battles get intense.<ref>https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/secrets-of-lycanroc-dusk-form-revealed/</ref>

{{m|Accelerock}} is the signature move of Lycanroc's Midday and Dusk Forms. Lycanroc is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Splintered Stormshards}}.

They train themselves by running around. Rockruff evolves into Lycanroc, which has two different forms based on when it evolves. It evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc during the day and Midnight Form Lycanroc during the night. Furthermore, when it gets close to evolving, Rockruff's temperament becomes more aggressive, and it tends to act more independent. It's common for it to disappear and then return after it has evolved.}}

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[Legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
Moltres is a large, avian Pokémon with orange and golden plumage. It has a long, flowing head crest and a billowing tail, both made of flames. Additionally, its wings are also shrouded in fiery plumage. Its straight, pointed beak is brown, as are its {{wp|Bird anatomy|anisodactyl}} feet. It has short talons.

Moltres sheds embers with every flap of its wings, creating a brilliant flash of flames. By dipping itself into the magma of an active volcano, this Pokémon can heal itself. It migrates to the south with the coming of spring, and is said to bring an early springtime to cold lands. Moltres is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} by Trainers.

=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home.

=====Brawl=====
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns.

It will use Fly when called into a Smash Bros. battle, flapping its orange wings and sending fire out around it. Getting hit hurts and could launch you so far, you'd make Moltres jealous. That isn't a good thing...''

'''PAL''': ''Moltres is one of the three Legendary Bird Pokémon of the Kanto region, along with Articuno and Zapdos. When spreading its huge wings and taking flight, it can make the flames all over its body burn even brighter.

==Trivia==
* Moltres shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as the Flame Pokémon.

===Origin===
Moltres may be based on legends of {{wp|Firebird#Folklore|firebird}}s such as the {{wp|phoenix}}, the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic firebird}}, or the {{wp|Bennu}}. It may also be based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, which is not a true phoenix. It may also be based on a {{wp|heron}}, because of their similarities in shape.

===Name origin===
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the series of [[Kanto]] [[Legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

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

'''Ash's Fearow''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオニドリル''' ''Satoshi's Onidrill'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] caught in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

==History==
Ash's Fearow was one of the major alterations from the {{pkmn|anime}} in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It was the first wild Pokémon Ash caught in this canon. It stays Ash's major Flying-type, as his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} abandons him early on.

Fearow was a leader of a group of {{p|Spearow}}, which attacked and exhausted {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|EToP}}. However, Pikachu beat Fearow with a {{m|Thunder Shock}}, so Ash was able to catch it, turning Fearow into one of his most used Pokémon in this manga, staying with him the entire way. In ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', Ash attempted to have it {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Misty}} at the [[Cerulean Gym]] (during which he had to get his {{AP|hat}} back from her), but it came out with a sign around its neck saying "Sleeping. Do not disturb." Only when Ash threw its favorite food, a soy sauce-covered dumpling, at Misty did it actually do anything.

Later, Ash uses Fearow against the Black Fog, a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Haunter}} which is terrorizing [[Lavender Town]].

Fearow is also used to rescue [[Mahri]] and her {{p|Dewgong}} in the chapter ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', though neither it nor Ash gets credit for that act.

===[[Original series]]===
[[File:Spearow anime.png|thumb|left|200px|As a Spearow]]
====Kanto====
In the [[EP001|first episode of the anime]], {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} were attacked by a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}}. The leader of the flock [[Evolution|evolved]] into Fearow at some time during Ash's journey through [[Kanto]].

When Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] in ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', this Fearow was again causing trouble, this time for a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}}. After his own Pidgeotto became a {{AP|Pidgeot}}, Ash attempted to capture the Fearow while riding on Pidgeot's back. Despite its weakened state, he was still unable to capture it, and left Pidgeot behind to guard against any future attacks.

====Johto====
Fearow briefly reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.
