== Redlink on your userpage ==

Due to the way you coded your infobox template, putting Mega Charizard X in favpkmn is making a redlink to Mega Charizard X (Pokémon). If you could fix that, it'd be appreciated. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 21:40, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
:Do you know how to fix it? I am not an expert on code. I think it requires #if or #switch tags. So, could you tell me the code to do that? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 04:57, 29 June 2015 (UTC)
::Should just need to change the first favpkmn call to a new parameter. Use favpkmn for the page link (so you'd put Charizard), then the new parameter for the name you want displayed. And you know we have a [[Template:MSP|template]] for menu sprites that automatically adds the (Pokémon). [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 12:13, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
:::It's fixed now, though I'll make some more changes in the future. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 12:56, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

== Hindi titles of episodes ==

May I help you by adding Hindi titles of episodes? [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 16:51, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
:Actually, I've completed adding the Hindi titles of all episodes aired uptill now. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 08:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
::Actually, not only that, but also Hindi typing? Also, when in Future, new episodes will be aired that time there title names will I help that time in adding them? And I found that many episode articles still don't have their Hindi names? Also, what about the XY Title cards which I said in the chatting on FB?

::::Many episodes of Orange Islands and few episode of Johto Journeys which were not added as at that time the whole Bulbapedia was locked from editing due to that hacking, those all episode articles don't have Hindi titles, as far as I remember. Also, can you please ask Nichiket sir for XY title cards? Please ask him because he didn't replied to my this question other all questions he replied! Please ask him!

== Do you know? ==

Pokémon may get banned in India according to many people and also according to many official sources as many people had complained Hungama TV for the show! Should we create a draft for it on Bulbanews? [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:45, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
:Everyone are shouting '''WE WANT POKÉMON BACK!!!''' [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:59, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
::Excuse me, I have read about that too. And it is spread by one of the Hungama TV fan pages which is claiming to be official. If you have any reliable source, feel free to give it. It is usual for that Hungama TV page to lie, saying that they cannot give out the news article because it is confidential. They are completely wrong, because news articles are never confidential, and it is read by the public. --~~[[User:Pokéfan95|ThePokémonFan]][[User talk:Pokéfan95|Since]][[Special:Contributions/Pokéfan95|1995]]~~-- 10:57, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

{{indent}}That Hungama TV pvt ltd FB page (which has already been proven fake) and they had started this rumor and Pokemon still airs on CN and Hungama so it is too an another good source that it will not ban. [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 06:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)

== New Episodes ==

According to [http://www.facebook.com/PokemonOfficialIndia/videos/vb.1548698025398817/1607254932876459/?type=2&theater this] source, new episodes will start from 27th July, 2015 at regular 1pm time!
Also, they have used the scenes from the opening theme song too! That means that theme song will also air for many episodes (even after they aired it for 1 or 2 episodes before XD)!
And also, they had used the original yellow logo in the promo which means that they will from now onwards they will keep the original yellow logo. XD [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 11:38, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
:That page is unofficial, though that video looks legit. Also it does not necessarily mean that they will use original logo and keep theme song just because a promo shows it. I think we'll know maore when the episodes start. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 7:15 PM, July 20, 2015 (IST) 13:45, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
::The promo is but official, even though that page is not, because the promo was aired on TV and it is recorded from TV. About the logo and the theme song, in previous promos they havn't used them but this time they did. So they would keep the logo and the theme song too. [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 14:00, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

{{Indent}}Atleast that new episodes are coming soon according to a promo? [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:08, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
:Yes, but we have to add the info like this: <code>After airing ''You're a star, Larvitar!'', Hungama put the show on hiatus. After 5-6 weeks, Hungama started new episodes again from ''Address Unown''.</code>. We should make a new para, as it will be a little bit more good looking that crowding all information in one para only. But still let's wait for next Monday, let's see what happens then. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 8:49 PM, July 20, 2015 (IST) 15:19, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
::Okay! But it would be more appropriate if instead of adding ''5 to 6 weeks later'' we add ''around or about 1 month later'' I guess so. [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:27, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

{{Indent}}And till the time they will air new episodes, it will become 7 weeks i.e. More than 1 and half months. However, we will add one and half month as it is near. [[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 18:21, 20 July 2015 (UTC)

You told one day that ''Pokémon anime used to air in Hindi Language in all the countries mentioned on the Pokémon in South Asia page.'' but I have seen that in {{wp|Doraemon}} in [http://doraemon.wikia.com/wiki/Doraemon_in_Bangladesh#Anime Bangladesh] Disney Channel India was broadcast in Bangladesh but the government of Bangladesh banned the channel because the children were being too exposed to Hindi instead of their mother tongue Bengali. After the ban, though, the kids in Bangladesh were unhappy because they couldn't see their favourite TV show, so Bangladesh decided to bring their own dubbed version and broadcast it so they created a Bengali dub for the show. However, how then in '''Pokémon''' does it still comes on Bangladesh in Hindi when Disney was banned for being only in Hindi?

Allow me to explain it you once more in detail. That template is made for use of local time timestamp. The signature box in the prefrences has a limit of about 80 characters. The code of the template has ''subst'' too. So after the page is saved, the code into the page is only the timestamp. This is used to prevent typing the time every time a comment is posted. If the signature template is not allowed, I will have to use the code <code><nowiki>{{subst:#time: g|+5 hours 30 minutes}}:{{subst:#time: i|+5 hours 30 minutes}} {{susbt:#switch: {{subst:#time: A|+5 hours 30 minutes}}|AM=AM|PM=PM}}, {{subst:#time: F|+5 hours 30 minutes}} {{subst:#time: j|+5 hours 30 minutes}}, {{subst:#time: Y|+5 hours 30 minutes}} (IST)</nowiki></code>. This does not fit in the character limit reason due to all the switch codes. But after this is saved on a page, the code entered is just <code>4:48 PM, September 23, 2015 (IST)</code>. This fits in the character limit. Is it still in violation of the policy? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 4:48 PM, September 23, 2015 (IST) 11:18, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Hence, we dont have to add that S18 will not immedialtely begin after S17. And by the way, I had suspected that it would not begin immediately, because it is still going on in the US.

{{Indent}}S18 would end this year only in December as Pokémon XY&Z is gonna release (and as it is a new chapter hence it will definitely be S19). Hence, S18 would start in India possibly from January or February or hardly March. Also there are possibilities that in this break time they would air [[M17]], [[List of side story episodes#XY specials|Mega Special Acts]], [[Origins]], [[List of side story episodes|Chlonocles]], [[Side stories]], etc. so we also have to see for that. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 10:51 PM, October 12, 2015 (IST) 17:21, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

:XY&Z is story arc of the Japanese version. Do not confuse it and S18/S19. Also, Hungama airing the other things is a possibility.

:No; simply being dubbed is not notable. We can add the info when they air. Also, if they dub the episode/movie, it does not mean that it will air soon on the channel. The dubbing studio dubs the content well in advance and then gives it to the channel, which then decides the air date. For example, Nachiket has told me that M03 and M04 are dubbed. But they may or may not air this year. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 10:23 PM, October 13, 2015 (IST) 16:53, 13 October 2015 (UTC)

Also' probebly Hungama Tv not permited the dubber's to reveale that they have dubbed S18, so it could be also' air!

== Ultimatum ==

Hello there. I remember talking to you about your signature template and how I asked you to stop using it as it is against the {{bp|Signature policy}}. Whilst I know why you are using the template as the amount of code you are using will not fit the preference box, rules are still rules and everyone must abide by them. We cannot make one exception. So this is your final warning, please cease using the template or risk a harsh penalty.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:27, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

That's still using a signature template. I have given you one chance, and you simply refuse to stop using it. You can't use a signature template '''period'''. I know the amount of coding needed just won't fit into the signature box in the preference, '''but that's just too bad'''.

:First, You could have just deleted that page if it was not allowed. Second, '''I have changed my preferences time settings'''.

Third, If I reduce the amount of code, and it fits in the preferences section, will it be allowed then? → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 07:05, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

::No because other promos were just promos but Hoenn PokéRap is subbed and the page contains all the raps which is subbed. Only if they have used the anime episode clips for the rap instead of live action dance sequence doesn't means that its a pure promo. Its also "subbed" and as far as I remember, you all had decided that the ones ''subbed'' is not only a promo its also a rap too. Also its music and lyrics are also like rap only. Also, those PokéFan Raps and Johto League rap were also promos but they were subbed that is why there lyrics exists in that article. Hence, since Hoenn Rap is also ''subbed'', hence it should not be removed. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 12:23, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

:::Well, then, something should be done about the "(timing announcement)" line because it doesnt fit. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 11:15, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
::::That's okay there because if we don't put that line, then we will have to put the timings announced in the rap which will be like "Kal shaaam saade 6 baje" or "Aaj shaam saade 6 baje" which will be more not appropriate to fit there. Because the timings are announced before the line "Machaya Kya?" and if we remove that "(timing announcement)" line then we will also have to remove that Machaya Kya? line which will make the lyrics incomplete and without the timing announcement line Machaya Kya line will also not fit. Hence, that line is okay and no need to do anything with that line. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 11:29, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
:::::The "Machaya kya" line is the motto of the channel, and is said after every promo of every show. Hence is it not part of the rap. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 11:39, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Has Pokémon Sun and Moon franchise like merchandise, etc. released in India? Because Pokémon XY merchandise released in India in 2015, the year after it released in Japan and USA. So Sun and Moon franchise released in Japan in 2016 and its 2018 now so just wondering if it has released in India like XY did. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 18:13, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
:I haven't come across any new Sun&Moon merchandise. I think the XY merchandise was launched due to the XY anime series being aired at the same time. All the merchandise at that time were just regular products with Pokemon characters on them. They just used Ash's XY series picture and the Indian XY logo. It was probably done by people who couldn't care less about the show. So, I'm thinking we may not see any SM merchandise till the anime airs, but be sure to keep an eye out for it. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 19:34, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

== ©2005-''2016''! ==

Sorry I missed this out here in Bulbapedia before, but the ending credits of S08, S09 and S10 which aired on Disney XD India had different copyright years credited in the credits. They have the copyright years credited as [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1iWz98GG5mqmUCZlEP2GGpMNqlwCRBkTz ©2004-''2016''], [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WTvY_FYSeDRENzEheStlu-iR7AYFDLDe ©2005-''2016''] and [https://drive.google.com/open?id=1FPPMJq0n2MOLpGfRsPAXBFzgAu7MeerU ©2006-''2016''] in the ending credits of S08, S09 and S10 respectively which is different from the US version. They have also credited in it as "TM and ® are trademarks of Nintendo ''for Asian territories''." which is again different from the US version. This indicates that Disney India have rights for all seasons in Pokémon up till XYZ (S19) although I don't think this means that they don't own SM series. It could just be that S08, S09 and S10 were dubbed in Hindi in 2016 and they owned the rights of the anime till the present year of that time so they put the years as 2016. It's possible that later when it was 2017 and now when it's 2018 they acquired rights for SM series also. Anyways we would get to know more about this when they air new seasons. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:48, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
:I think that all this implies that when the anime was licensed, they simply updated the copyright and extended it up till 2016, or that was the year when the (re)licensing happened. Also, about the Asian territories line , it simply may have been added because these videos should be used in Asian countries only. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:21, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

== Pokémon movies on Indian cinemas ==

This is the first time Pokémon movies are releasing in Indian theaters. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 15:59, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
:Detective Pikachu was going to be released on the big screen, as it's not an anime movie, but rather a live action one and distributed by a large company like Warner Bros. May 10 is the worldwide release date for Detective Pikachu, after all. But it's nice to see that I Choose You will be getting a limited release as well. If the date is correct and it is releasing on February 2, then it will be the first time a Pokemon anime movie is releasing in theaters. Though, that page you linked to is only showing it as being released in English, so maybe we'll have to wait till it airs on television for the regional dubs. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 06:34, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
::That site shows the language of all the English movies which are to be released in India as English only even after they are released in Hindi and other regional languages too. So that doesn't mean that those will be released in English only in cinemas. --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 07:12, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

== S11 Hindi Titles ==

The title cards of S11 episodes in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu are not dubbed by Disney and are aired in English only on Marvel HQ just like CN and Pogo used to do (except for [[DP075]] in which title card aired as well, but there was no voice of anyone on it and was only background music). So is there any need of adding those titles by putting ''Same as English'' on them just like how we have done in the case of CN title cards or just a line of info about it is enough? --[[User:Yash Sen|Yash]] [[User Talk:Yash Sen|Sen]] 13:23, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
:The CN and Pogo dubs used to have the Hindi voice actor say the title in English, whereas the Marvel HQ dub is keeping the english dub audio intact for the title card. → [[User talk:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]] 10:26, 26 May 2019 (UTC)

== Not big things ==

Hi guys! I have 2 thigs to say!
1. I don't understand the last trivia fact about Pikachu being ash's only pokemon... etc, could somebody explain this to me? maybe it's a error and should be erased.
2. We all know that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has never been on its poke ball not even once, well only in ''that'' movie, but my point is that would Ash's still have that poke ball? You know, when he goes to a pokemon center we don't see that unique thunder poke ball of pikachu (because he is always outside of it), so I don't know, why carrying it around if he doesn't use it? if you think this last thing is stupid well then don't pay attention to it. =)[[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 18:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh man! i just finished checking the page and saw the that poke ball and there it says that ''ash carries it around all the time'' just like it had posted this haha mmm so nevermind![[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 18:29, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

== Doesn't he look cute? ==

Um,excuse me,but her exact line was "You look so cute",in the english version. Is that line from another languages version? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 18:34, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

*sigh* I know exactly what you mean, Rose. In my opinion, we shouldn't be caring anymore.

I'm afraid to say that this gender debate is just... pathetic. It's kind of sad the way this debate has gone on as long as this, as if its an important election. I really need an explanation as to why the large amount of male evidence isn't enough to confirm the gender of a CARTOON mouse. Why do we need someone to tell us? Aipom puts on a dress, and its a female. Pikachu puts on a kimono... OH NO! That doesn't mean its male! Pikachu puts on a maid outfit and looks embarrassed. NOPE! Not yet." Jeez.

The female evidence is absolutely terrible. Buneary not knowing Pikachu's gender? Pokémon can regonise the gender of other Pokémon, as can animals. For example, Pokémon know that they have to be with a mate of the opposite gender to breed, otherwise they will refuse. Therefore if Buneary is female and it wants to mate, then Pikachu being female would be disturbing. And the idea of Misty featuring Pikachu in dresses... it's a joke in Misty's girlish mind. Does this suddenly mean it's female? I bet even if we saw a female Pikachu in the anime with a heart-shaped tail, this website would still stubbornly say "Pikachu's from Kanto. Gender differences don't apply". And does Pikachu have to be a girl to rival with Bayleef? Is that a scientific fact? No.

I really, really wish they would just confirm the gender as male. Because it is. I know I shouldn't be posting about this because its considered an "offence" to vote, but it would be really good if a regular would just say "Ok, everyone. Ash's Pikachu is male. Thank you". Almost everyone else considers this. Yeah. [[User:Dusknoir477]] 11:37, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

: >> I think Pikachu is female..But,anyway,can I delete that line from the article,it's incorrect,see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFZkdgsgzP8&feature=related. I tried deleting it before,but it looks like it's back up [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 02:28, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I watched it, you're absolutely right, May doesn't refer to it as a male. But that doesn't mean it isn't... I don't think I'll ever be convinced that Pikachu is a girl, because I've always known it to be male. I'm sure lots of people considered that, and therefore, that's one of the big reasons why I think its male; because so many fans picked up vibes that it Pika was a boy, it must be so. Also, I've got lots of Pokémon books from my childhood; all of them say that Pikachu is a boy in them. One was a novel of the first film that I bought for my younger brother, which says this so explicitly its as if the book is trying to side with me. Creepy.

I still can't think of any good reason why it would be female. I can counter all of the female evidence on Pikachu's article.

1. Although its true that Pikachu is from Kanto where all Pikachu of both genders have "male" tails, now that gender differences have been introduced, we can forgot about that now. The world of Pokémon is always changing and contnuity is always corrupted, and regarding certain things like this is the only way to fix it. And no, its tail would not have changed into a heart if it was female. Jeez, if only gender differences were made ages ago, we wouldn't have this problem!

2. Misty picturing Pikachu in dresses. Well, firstly, Misty is a girl. Secondly, Misty likes Pikachu, and would want to picture Pikachu as a girl. Thirdly, Misty's visions were her point of view and not part of the continuity. Basically, almost nothing can be drawn from this evidence. In that Miltank episode, Pikachu felt uncomfortable dressed as a maid, so therefore, from Pikachu's point of view, it doesn't like dresses, meaning that it most likely isn't a girl.

3. Buneary not knowing Pikachu's gender is the dumbest piece of evidence that I have ever, ever heard. Come on, really. I would like to take a little moment to explain real game "love" physics. :P Say that there is a large group of male Mamoswine and a larg group of female Mamoswine in a blizzard. The members in both groups would like to start families with each other, but they can't because in each group, each member is the same gender. So they don't mate. Then, both groups see each other and form a larger group of both genders. Now, they can mate and can start breeding, because there are both males and females, meaning plenty of Swinub eggs will be laid.

So, one must come to the basic conclusion that, if a female Buneary is perfectly capable to fall and love and breed with a male Buneary in the games, but not with another female, then Dawn's Buneary successfully feeling obliged to mate with Pikachu means that Pikachu is the opposite gender of her: Male. Either that, or Buneary is male, which is definitely not true, as Buneary has worn dresses like a girl and even went into a girls fashion competition. Therefore, Buneary is female and Pikachu is male. It's obvious! Remember... The Pokémon series is based on the games! (although, then again, some things that happened in the anime aren't possible in the games, like the electric-harming-ground thing, but we are talking about common sense here; a female would tell the difference between a male and female).

4. Pikachu has gained quite a few rivals throughout the series, the most notable being Chikorita/Bayleef, who was confirmed to be female. I do not know why it would be considered female just because of this. Both genders can rival with one another. Whilst there is no evidence to say that I am wrong, there isn't evidence to say that I am right about this point, so this would be discarded in my book.

5. One that got deleted a while ago was the point that Pikachu showed interest in feminine items such as perfume. I can counter it. I think the reason why it was fascinated was because it was simply curious of the human world. Remember, Pikachu, before being captured by Prof Oak, was a wild animal. It would be fascinated by human things and would wander about eyeing the merchandise on sale, whether it was aimed at men or women. You know... it may look at a bottle of perfume, then look at a digital watch, then a necklace, then a chemisty set. This really doesn't explain anything about genders then, does it?

There you go. In my opinion, you can't very much counter the male evidence, especially ones like Pikachu being referred to as Ash's brother (a very good point).

I guess we'll just have to face the facts. Pikachu's gender will probably never be fully confirmed. Everyone's just too stubborn to do so. It's like in the Simpsons where Springfield's state won't be revealed. It's getting very, very late now, and as episodes go on, Pikachu remain a seemingly-genderless creature. But it isn't. It's male. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Dusknoir477}} ([[User talk:Dusknoir477|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Dusknoir477|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

:Well, there are points pointing both ways. Supporting the fact that Ash's Pikachu might know {{m|Double-Edge}} is because it can learn the move through [[TM10]] in [[Generation I]] (and later through a move tutor in [[Generation III]]). Supporting the fact that it might not know Double-Edge is because it was the stadium announcer who mentioned it in [[EP079|''Friend and Foe Alike'']], increasing the chance that it could have been a dub mistranslation where it was originally a different move in the Japanese version.

:My [[$1|2¢]]: While it's possible that Pikachu using Double-Edge might have been a mistranslation, if it isn't a mistranslation, odds are it's not an error of any sort. The episode in question is a Generation I-era episode, and Pikachu most definitely had a legal avenue for learning Double-Edge in that generation.

According to [[Dawn's Buneary]], that particular Buneary is confirmed female. By the game mechanics and what we've seen on the Anime, Pokémon don't have homosexual tendencies.

== Pikachu's Poké Ball ==

About Pikachu's Poké Ball. The Poké Ball with a lighting bolt mark from Professor Oak's Laboratory has never been owned by Ash (Gary's Blastoise is held in a regular Poké Ball and not in the Poké Ball labeled in Japanese from Professor Oak's Laboratory), as Ash, for exemple, uses a regular Poké Ball to try to recall Pikachu in the ep001 (Ash tries to get it in, but it hits the ball back every time), and when several Spearow came in front of Ash (Ash put a regular Poke Ball next to Pikachu), and also in the ep005 against Onix, Ash uses a regular Poké Ball to try to recall it. We can therefore affirm that Pikachu's Poké Ball is a regular Poke Ball, and in all these episodes when Ash try to recall it, the Pikachu's (regular) Poké Ball is the same. The red light ray coming out of a poke ball means that it possesses a pokemon, in this case "Pikachu" (like in the ep005 against Onix).

:"In rotation" solves the problem of having to edit the articles on Ash's current Unova pokémon in guessing who is in where; this does include Pikachu. If Pikachu, in the future, was temporarily rotated out one episode and wasn't recovered by the end of it, that saves us from having to edit his article for the next week (maybe two), because "In rotation" saves us trouble and having to bother with having the article edited. By ''your'' standard, we would /have/ to edit the article to show he's currently not in Ash's party, and men, isn't that a wasteful hassle to remember. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * [[User talk:ArcToraphim|the Arc Toraph]] 20:52, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
::It's also done that way because it's never clear who is rotated for several episodes, and so it is very difficult to tell whether other Pokémon on Ash's team are also always on his team. All we know is that he has a current roster of nine Pokémon, of which six are with him at any one time. It should be consistent in that regard - if we show Pikachu as always being with Ash, we should also show which other members of his roster are always with him, which is often impossible to determine.

== Level/Legend? ==

Shouldn't Ash's Pikachu be considered Legendary? Or at least, a 100 lvl pokemon? Ash has had Pikachu for over 13 years, I'm guessing? And if I remember, the episode in which Meloetta was captured (not with pokeball) by Giovani, Pikachu had used a giant electro-ball to first of all get rid of the Glass-Stone thingy Giovanni was spirited (Joined) with. (Episode 14 season 16 Unova's Survival Crisis). I admit the power he got was from Thundurus, but being able to control all that energy and releasing it in a direct shot and not missing, is incredible. I would say he's lvl 100? He's beaten so many pokemon, even higher level of him and with a disadvantage. "I have to admit, that Pikachu is something" was Jessie's line in the same episode (Episode 14 Season 16). Who doesn't admit that. Beating practically all types of pokemon, he's legendary. -Heroster991
:Even though Ash's Pikachu is strong, Pikachu in general are not legendary, making Ash's Pikachu not legendary. And with level, Pikachu does not level up normally, every new region Ash goes to Pikachu seems to revert back to lv. 5 or he would be able to beat all Gym Leaders immediately. -[[User:IVsaur|EVsandIVsaurs]] 14:03, 21 March 2013 (UTC)

:Dare I bring up [[BW001]], when Pikachu couldn't even beat a level 5 Snivy without electric attacks? Levels don't work the same way in the anime as they do in the games. I agree that Pikachu ''should'' be level 100, but Pikachu ''should'' have defeated that Snivy with one Quick Attack too.--[[User:Alex726|'''Alex''''''726''']][[User talk:Alex726|'''(TALK)''']] 02:43, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

:::I read one theory that stated it's because Pikachu always gets electric flu at the start of every area since Hoenn and it causes him to reset his strength (hence losing to a lvl 5 Snivy) and has to retrain to get his old strength back.

So this was removed "Colress controlled Pikachu in BW112, although Pikachu was able to overload and destroy the device controlling him with his electricity" from the personality section with all the other times Pikachu was controlled because it was viewed as not notable.

== Hoenn section contains information about Unova ==

The Hoenn section (1.2 in the TOC) contains the following sentence: "Also in the same episode, Pikachu learned Electro Ball while battling a trio of annoying Ducklett."

== Pikachu's voice during attacks ==

I made an edit earlier in Pickahu's Language, saying this:

"Piii-kachuuu!" - when using Thundershock or Thunderbolt.

"Pikaaa-chuuu!" - when using Thunder.

I understand if it doesn't quite fit completely in the language section, but where could we put this?

Also:

"Pi. Pi. Pi. Pi. Pika!" - when using Quick Attack.

== Pikachu's Leadership ==

I might have missed it as I'm new to Bulbapedia, but I didn't see anything anywhere about Pikachu being the kind of unofficial leader of the other Pokemon he's traveling with whenever they get separated from Ash and co, at least in the anime. I've recently re-watched the entire Indigo League & Orange Islands, and the first season of Black and White series (thank you UK Netflix) and noticed that Pikachu quite often (nearly always it seems to me) assumes the leadership of the Pokemon when they get separated, usually by Team Rocket. As I just watched the last episode of the first season of Black and White (Battle for the Underground), I'll just mention its specifics here. After TR gets Pikachu and the others (with Pikachu and Axew not in their pokeballs but in cages as usual) it's Pikachu who recognizes Snivy's pokeball and opens it with Electro Ball. He then tells Snivy to find Iris's Excadrill to break the cages, and proceeds to find Pansage, Dwebble, Tepig and Roggenrola (specifically choosing not to release Oshawott and Scraggy). I won't go through the whole final episode, so long story short he's the one who gives the others their orders, which is what really ends up saving them, as otherwise TR would have gotten them successfully, until Ash and co arrive. It seems like such an important part of the character that I would think it would be mentioned, at least in the "Personality and characteristics" section. He also helped raise and protect Togepi. Other than this sentence

"He acted as a guardian and big brother to Misty's Togepi, and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in Pikachu's Vacation."

I don't see anything about any of this part of his personality. It seems to me to be a notable thing to mention, but I figured I'd leave it up to those who had been around longer and know the anime and the rest better than I do.

== Pikachu's Picture ==

I've been coming to this site for yrs now, but it's always semi-bugged me how Pikachu's picture never changed after the Sinnoh League was over and especially after the Unova League arc was over, as if it was kept their for favoritism as opposed gets the job done. That picture of Pikachu on Ash's page and it's own page is from the Sinnoh League. That happened 2 Leagues, Regions, and Generations ago. Pikachu should respectfully have it's more recent picture, which would be it's pose from Gen V/Best Wishes/Black & White. Specifically, that one from the Unova League would be great and fitting. Besides that, Unova Pikachu has plenty of other choices. I only bing this up because other pkmn get updated pics with their most recent appearances.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

When an Ursaring attack leaves Team Rocket and our heroes in compromising positions, compromise they do, members of each team being paired with members of the other. But such a pairing one would guess to be doomed from the start... and one would be right this time.

==Plot==
On the road to [[Goldenrod City]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} decide to take a break at a nearby lake and relax with their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} out of their [[Poké Ball]]s. As all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are relaxing, they notice something shiny fly through the air. After a few seconds it becomes clear it is a net which opens up and traps all the Pokémon. {{TRT}} make an appearance and announce they have got all their Pokémon and began to fly away. Far away, something attacks [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's balloon]] with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. All the Pokémon are freed when a bunch of {{p|Ursaring}} appear. Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them all and begin to charge at them. Ash, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} recall their Pokémon and run for their lives; Team Rocket following them. They all run into a forest where the Ursaring fire Hyper Beam at them.

After they escape the Ursaring, they realize they have all been split up. [[Jessie]] is with Brock, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Ash instead of Misty and {{MTR}} and [[James]] are with Misty instead of Jessie. Jessie decides to have a Pokémon battle with Ash when a bunch of Ursaring show up again. They abandon their battle and run. Meanwhile, Misty challenges James to a battle when Ursaring also show up and they run. A truce is made between Jessie, Brock and Ash. Ash finds out some information on Ursaring using his [[Pokédex]]. Also, Misty, James and Meowth agree to work together.

Ash and Brock call for Misty as Jessie thinks about James and Meowth and wander of they are looking for her.
James and Meowth aren't worried about Jessie as they think she is tough. When they reach a crossroads, Misty, James and Meowth suggest going this way but they all point into different directions. When they realize, they play odd finger wins which Meowth wins so they go straight ahead.

Night falls and Ash, Brock and Jessie decide to stop looking as it is too dark to look for Misty. Brock cooks food and Jessie tries it to be surprised it tastes good. She feels upset when she thinks she doesn't normally have such tasty food but doesn't want to tell Ash and Brock so she lies. Misty, James and Meowth are walking. Misty says they should have gone right at the crossroads and James decides to have a break as he is hungry. Splitting a biscuit in half, James and Meowth eat half each while Misty has a sandwich. Noticing James and Meowth drooling, Misty splits her sandwich so they can have some. Misty and James follow Meowth to find a place to camp. In a cliff is a cave which Meowth decides they should sleep in but Misty isn't so sure about it. They are chased out by Ursaring. Ash, Brock and Jessie find a cave to sleep in. Jessie thinks about where she sleeps with James and Meowth. Brock hands a blanket to Jessie to keep her warm and she begins reminisces about her dreams before she joined Team Rocket, while James and Meowth find that they've merely swapped one bossy red head for another one. Misty, James and Meowth play odd finger wins again and Meowth wins again. James has a plan to climb down a cliff into a dark hole in the ground and assures Misty there is nothing to worry about. Meowth decides they should go back and pulls on the rope which lands on his face. Drawing a line in the stone, Misty tells them they can't cross it. Misty has more room on the rock than James and Meowth. James and Meowth plot to steal Misty's Pokémon but don't know how to get away. With Ash and Brock sleeping, Jessie decides to take Pikachu but she bumps into an Ursaring so she runs back screaming.

The next morning, Ash and Brock are trying to find Misty. Jessie complains about not getting Pikachu or any sleep.
When Misty, James and Meowth are awake, they realize they are only a few feet from the ground below them where Meowth lets slip they were going to take Misty's Pokémon. Again, they play odd finger wins where Meowth wins again. Confronted by another Ursaring, Ash, Brock and Jessie try to battle it. Ash sends out {{p|Cyndaquil}} and Brock sends out {{p|Onix}}. Onix uses {{m|Tackle}} which gets the Ursaring mad. Cyndaquil uses {{m|Flamethrower}}. Jessie thinks she, James and Meowth are pathetic. Ursaring fights against the Flamethrower and hits its chest. More Ursaring appear so Ash and Brock recall their Pokémon. An Ursaring springs up on Misty, James and Meowth. They decide to run away.

Both groups are running away from Ursaring. They find each other and run across a wooden bridge. The bridge breaks in a couple of places. An Ursaring cuts the rope so the bridge falls, still with them on it; everyone holding onto to someone with Ash gripping to the wooden planks, holding everyone up. Chikorita and {{p|Bulbasaur}} are called out along with James' {{p|Victreebel}} which bites James' head. Onix and {{p|Arbok}} also help. Chikorita, Bulbasaur and Victreebel use {{m|Vine Whip}} to pull up the ropes. Onix and Arbok pull the ropes up with their tails. Just as they are all about to be safe, the rope snaps, sending everyone down below until Chikorita, Bulbasaur, Victreebel, Onix and Arbok save them. Everyone is safe and they celebrate for each other.

The truces are over and they plan to battle. {{p|Psyduck}} is on the wrong side until Misty yells at it. Onix uses Tackle on Arbok. Victreebel uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} as does Chikorita. {{p|Togepi}} is moving its hands from side to side. Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}}. Pikachu uses {{m|ThunderShock}} to stop Meowth. Togepi uses {{m|Metronome}} which causes Team Rocket to blast off.

Afterwards, Ash notices a sign that explained why the Ursaring attacked everywhere they saw one. It read, "WARNING! It is currently the Ursaring mating season and they are using this area as their breeding grounds. Do not disturb them if it's the last thing you do, because if you do, it just may be."

Team Rocket land where Jessie tells James and Meowth she is unhappy because of them and Meowth says to James they knew they were unhappy because of her a long time ago. Ursaring surround them.

===Cartoon Network & Pogo===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|Cartoon Network India and Pakistan logo]]
====Original series====
[[File:Season1 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Indigo League]]
[[Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on May 12, 2003 as a part of its {{wp|Toonami}} block and it was made available in both Hindi and English languages. The anime soon became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel, especially during its peak, and concluded its first run in the same year.

Immediately after the first season, [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003 and ended its run in the mid of 2004. Following the year long re-run airings, [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] made its long-awaited premiere on Cartoon Network.

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for the {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani audience}} in 2004, which was later made available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh as well. Due to the affiliation, both channels broadcasted the anime simultaneously. With [[Pokémon: Master Quest]], Cartoon Network India introduced two additional dubs for the Indian viewers, Tamil and Telugu. The {{series|Original}} concluded its first complete run in the mid of 2005.

On November 14, 2006, Cartoon Network India aired the first Pokémon movie, [[Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns]], as a part of its Children's day programming.

====Advanced Generation series====
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
[[Pokémon: Advanced]] made its South Asian debut on May 9, 2006 and concluded in July of the same year. After four months of reruns, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' was simulcasted on November 6, 2006. The trailers for the seventh season were also aired in the Indian theaters. It ended its first run on January 4, 2007. Following this season, Cartoon Network introduced a new block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

''Dastaan-e-Pokémon'', a one-hour block, started January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime. The block continued to air all of the previous seasons, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' made its way to South Asia. Also, it was the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on the respective channels. The block ended in the end of 2008, followed by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in November of 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. Following the ten months long rerun airings, ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' premiered in the respective territories.

====Diamond & Pearl series====
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
Unprecedentedly, the first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} aired in Pakistan starting November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16 of the same year. Due to unknown reasons, Cartoon Network Pakistan wrapped up the season prematurely in just five weeks. As a result, around 23 episodes were skipped, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. However, all the episodes were aired in their actual order during the rerun airings.

{{bulbanews|Anime in Indian subcontinent shifted to Pogo}}
After keeping it on air for eight years, Cartoon Network India dropped the series in early 2011. The anime was then picked up by {{wp|Pogo}}, its sister channel. It started with the season premiere of ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' for the Indian audience, which later made its Pakistani debut on August 1 and concluded on October 11, 2011.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo TV logo]]

On October 3, 2011, Pogo took the opportunity to air ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' for the first time in India. However, ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' were skipped due to unknown reasons, an issue which was fixed in the following rerun airings. The season finale, ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', aired on October 25 of the same year. On a related note, the season completed its first run on Cartoon Network Pakistan from February 1 to March 19, 2012.

====Best Wishes series====
[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black & White]]
After almost a year and eight months long gap, Pogo premiered the [[Pokémon: Black & White|fourteenth season]] of the anime on June 17, 2013. Many changes were introduced, including: a new time-slot for the show, the voice of the [[narrator]] as well as a new voice actor for [[Delia Ketchum]]. Instead of the original production order, Pogo skipped the episodes ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' which was going to air on Wednesday, 31 July, 2013 and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' which was going to air on Thursday, 22th August, due to some unknown reasons. The channel completed the run of the season with the season finale, ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', on Thursday, 5th September. The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.
Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''The Dragon Master's Path!'' and ''Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!'' were broadcasted.

{{bulbanews|Anime in India shifted back to Cartoon Network}}
On June 27, 2014, after more than 3 years since Pokémon shifted to Pogo, {{wp|Cartoon_Network_(India)|Cartoon Network India}} made an announcement through its official [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india Facebook page] that Pokémon would soon be returning to Cartoon Network India. Cartoon Network began airing [[Pokémon: Black & White]] from July 2, 2014, airing 2 new episodes on the weekdays. However, many of the episodes were aired out of order, which created some confusion among viewers who were watching it for the first time. Cartoon Network, instead of completing the fourteenth season run, has started airing reruns from 6 August, 2014.

On September 28, 2014, Cartooon Network had a special on Pokémon named ''P for Pikachu'', on which they showed repeats of the first three episodes of the season, with a new theme song.

===Hungama TV===
[[File:Hungama TV.png|thumb|Hungama TV logo]]
Around the beginning of 2014, Disney Inc. bought the airings rights for Pokémon. However, the respective company did not acquire the rights for the anime's previous Hindi dub. While the exact reasons for re-dubbing are not known, there is a good possibility that such decisions were made because of Disney India and UTV's policy, implemented in 2010-2011, that all the dubs of Disney channel properties will be carried out in-house.

====Original series====
With ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]'', the {{pkmn|anime}} made its Hungama TV debut on May 19, 2014. Similar to the Cartoon Network airings, a couple of inconsistencies in the airing order were noticed by viewers. Hungama introduced two blocks for Pokémon, ''Pokéthon'' (coined fom ''Pokémon'' and ''Marathon'') and ''PokéVaar'' (literally ''PokéDay''). Hungama aired ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' on August 14, 2014 and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' on August 18, 2014. Some episodes like ''[[EP018|Episode 18]]'', ''[[EP035|Episode 35]]'', ''[[EP038|Episode 38]]'' were skipped by Hungama as they as banned or contain some inappropriate material. The season completed its initial run on September 10, 2014, with the airing of ''[[EP080|Friends to the End!]]''.

[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] debuted on Hungama TV on September 11, 2014, with the airing of ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]''. More inconsistencies were noticed by viewers, and some episode like ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', and ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'' for unknown reasons.

==Pokémon manga==
English-translated [[Pokémon manga]] was distributed in India by [[Chuang Yi]].

==Pokémon Merchandise==
* Pokémon became an instant hit in India and almost always used to be the number one kids show on TV. Due to its huge popularity, many pirated Pokémon products began to be sold in India.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.org.in/mam/headlines/y2k3/dec/decmam4.htm</ref>
* Pokémon merchandise is available in India from Reliance Home video and games.
* Pokémon [[wp:Raksha Bandhan|Rakhis]] were available in India, with {{p|Pikachu}} and the [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova region]].
* Pokémon collectibles were available for free in every [[wp:Cheetos|Cheetos]] snack pack.
* On the Toonami block, Cartoon Network hosted a contest titled "Toonami-Game On Video Game Championship" in 2006, with Pokémon merchandise given out as prizes.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/cartoon-network-to-host-toonami-game-on-video-gaming</ref>

==Trivia==
* Starting from [[Pokémon: Black & White]], Cartoon Network aired the show in English and Hindi only, hence the Tamil and Telugu feeds have aired only from Season 5 to Season 14.
* Instead of following the usual tradition of literally translating the moves' names in Hindi, several of them have been kept the same as in English starting season 14.
* After the first few episodes of each [[season]], Hungama TV stopped airing the opening themes and credits.
* The Hungama TV dub changed the name of the ''[[Pokédex]]'' to ''PokéTab ''(Hindi: ''पोकेटॅब'').
* Prior to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Hungama TV did not include the [[Who's that Pokémon]] segment for Pokémon: Indigo League airings. They stopped the segment from ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime time]]''. It was restarted from ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'' and stopped after ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'' and again restarted it few episodes later.
* Hungama TV made a [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#PokéRap (Hungama TV)|PokéRap]] for their Indigo League airings. It bears no resemblance to the original [[Pokérap]] and is only called Pokérap because it was subtitled as such. It started airing from ''[[EP012|Here comes the Squirtle Squad!]]'' and stopped after ''[[EP052|Princess Vs. Princess]]''. It was restarted from ''[[EP079|A Friend In Deed]]'', and stopped after ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.
* From the mid of second run of [[Pokémon: Black & White]], Cartoon Network replaced the [[Black and White (song)|regular opening]] with a [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#Pokémon: Black & White Song Video|new one]].
* Hungama TV made another [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#Hungama's PokéFan Rap|PokéRap]] which started airing from ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]''. It had three variants, featuring live action dance sequences and provided a hint about the airing of [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]]. Starting from ''[[EP079|A Friend In Deed]]'', this Pokérap was used randomly for re-run airings.

Anyway, how do I make it so that my user page in ポケモン wiki redirects to my user page on Bulbapedia? --[[User:Rikeo|リック]] [[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|EO]] ([[User talk:Rikeo|Open for discussion]]) 15:42, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
:Hmm... Have you tried using "<nowiki>#Redirect[[en:User:Rikeo]]</nowiki>"?
:Also, please keep in mind that I am not aware of the rules they have over there, neither have I tried any such thing before. So, please try it at your own risk and do check their userspace rules before doing so. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 15:59, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
::Their policy is similar to ours: 3 edits max per day. But they also have something like don't edit it more than 5 times a month unless you have more mainspace edits than userspace edits. But what's strange is that you don't have to be autoconfirmed to create one. I've already made one edit (with <nowiki>#REDIRECT [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:Rikeo]</nowiki> which didn't work), and another one probably won't get me in trouble, but I think I'll wait a few days. Thanks though.––[[User:Rikeo|リック]] [[Special:Contributions/Rikeo|EO]] ([[User talk:Rikeo|Open for discussion]]) 02:32, 7 August 2014 (UTC)
:::Sorry for the butt-in. "<nowiki>#Redirect [[:en:User:Rikeo]]</nowiki>" should work, with the colon before "en" (without the first colon it would most likely create a normal interlanguage link and end up redirecting to nothing).

== Holiday Hi-Jynx ==

Hello, today Hungama aired [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]] (calling it {{tt|सांता और जिंक्स|Santa & Jynx}}).

== Section 4 ==

CNI has made a Pokerap for BW re-runs. The only problem is that it is broadcast before the beginning of the show, and hence acts as an Opening Theme (the regular opening theme is not shown).

:I mean, should it be called a Pokerap or a opening theme? Because a user has added its info (calling it a Pokerap) to the South Asia page.

== Separation of Pokémon in South Asia Page ==
Hey Adyniz! due to this Hungama airing, Pokémon in South Asia page is getting really long I thought there was enough material, for the page to be segregated into Pokémon in India & rest of South Asia would you mind considering it? As some European Unions Countries have there own page while they do not have enough material too. Because for now Pokémon in South Asia is really confusing, as lot of information is being added on a regular basis.--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 15:35, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

===Cartoon Network & Pogo===
[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|Cartoon Network India and Pakistan logo]]
====Original series====
[[File:Season1 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Indigo League]]
[[Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on May 12, 2003 as a part of its {{wp|Toonami}} block and it was made available in both Hindi and English languages. The anime soon became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel, especially during its peak, and concluded its first run in the same year.

Immediately after the first season, [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003 and ended its run in the mid of 2004. Following the year long re-run airings, [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] made its long-awaited premiere on Cartoon Network.

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for the {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani audience}} in 2004, which was later made available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh as well. Due to the affiliation, both channels broadcasted the anime simultaneously. With [[Pokémon: Master Quest]], Cartoon Network India introduced two additional dubs for the Indian viewers, Tamil and Telugu. The {{series|Original}} concluded its first complete run in the mid of 2005.

On November 14, 2006, Cartoon Network India aired the first Pokémon movie, [[Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns]], as a part of its Children's day programming.

====Advanced Generation series====
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
[[Pokémon: Advanced]] made its South Asian debut on May 9, 2006 and concluded in July of the same year. After four months of reruns, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' was simulcasted on November 6, 2006. The trailers for the seventh season were also aired in the Indian theaters. It ended its first run on January 4, 2007. Following this season, Cartoon Network introduced a new block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

''Dastaan-e-Pokémon'', a one-hour block, started January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime. The block continued to air all of the previous seasons, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'' made its way to South Asia. Also, it was the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on the respective channels. The block ended in the end of 2008, followed by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in November of 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. Following the ten months long rerun airings, ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]'' premiered in the respective territories.

====Diamond & Pearl series====
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
Unprecedentedly, the first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} aired in Pakistan starting November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16 of the same year. Due to unknown reasons, Cartoon Network Pakistan wrapped up the season prematurely in just five weeks. As a result, around 23 episodes were skipped, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. However, all the episodes were aired in their actual order during the rerun airings.

{{bulbanews|Anime in Indian subcontinent shifted to Pogo}}
After keeping it on air for eight years, Cartoon Network India dropped the series in early 2011. The anime was then picked up by {{wp|Pogo}}, its sister channel. It started with the season premiere of ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' for the Indian audience, which later made its Pakistani debut on August 1 and concluded on October 11, 2011.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo TV logo]]

On October 3, 2011, Pogo took the opportunity to air ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' for the first time in India. However, ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'' were skipped due to unknown reasons, an issue which was fixed in the following rerun airings. The season finale, ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'', aired on October 25 of the same year. On a related note, the season completed its first run on Cartoon Network Pakistan from February 1 to March 19, 2012.

====Best Wishes series====
[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black & White]]
After almost a year and eight months long gap, Pogo premiered the [[Pokémon: Black & White|fourteenth season]] of the anime on June 17, 2013. Many changes were introduced, including: a new time-slot for the show, the voice of the [[narrator]] as well as a new voice actor for [[Delia Ketchum]]. Instead of the original production order, Pogo skipped the episodes ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' which was going to air on Wednesday, 31 July, 2013 and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' which was going to air on Thursday, 22th August, due to some unknown reasons. The channel completed the run of the season with the season finale, ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', on Thursday, 5th September. The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.
Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''The Dragon Master's Path!'' and ''Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!'' were broadcasted.

{{bulbanews|Anime in India shifted back to Cartoon Network}}
On June 27, 2014, after more than 3 years since Pokémon shifted to Pogo, {{wp|Cartoon_Network_(India)|Cartoon Network India}} made an announcement through its official [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india Facebook page] that Pokémon would soon be returning to Cartoon Network India. Cartoon Network began airing [[Pokémon: Black & White]] from July 2, 2014, airing 2 new episodes on the weekdays. However, many of the episodes were aired out of order, which created some confusion among viewers who were watching it for the first time.

===Hungama TV===
[[File:Hungama TV.png|thumb|Hungama TV logo]]
Around the beginning of 2014, Disney Inc. bought the airings rights for Pokémon. However, the respective company did not acquire the rights for the anime's previous Hindi dub. While the exact reasons for re-dubbing are not known, there is a good possibility that such decisions were made because of Disney India and UTV's policy, implemented in 2010-2011, that all the dubs of Disney channel properties will be carried out in-house.

====Original series====
With the first season, the {{pkmn|anime}} made its Hungama TV debut on May 19, 2014, with ''[[EP001|Pokémon, I Choose You!]]''.Similar to the Cartoon Network airings, viewers noticed some inconsistencies in the airing order. Following ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', Hungama aired ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' on August 14, 2014 and ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' on August 18, 2014. Hungama introduced two blocks for Pokémon, ''Pokéthon'' (coined fom ''Pokémon'' and ''Marathon'') and ''PokéVaar'' (literally ''PokéDay''). The season completed its initial run on September 10, 2014, with the airing of ''[[EP080|Friends to the End!]]''.

[[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] debuted on Hungama TV on September 11, 2014, with the airing of ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]''.

==Pokémon manga==
English-translated [[Pokémon manga]] was distributed in India by [[Chuang Yi]].

==Pokémon Merchandise==
* Pokémon became an instant hit in India and almost always used to be the number one kids show on TV. Due to its huge popularity, many pirated Pokémon products began to be sold in India.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.org.in/mam/headlines/y2k3/dec/decmam4.htm</ref>
* Pokémon merchandise is available in India from Reliance Home video and games.
* Pokémon [[wp:Raksha Bandhan|Rakhis]] were available in India, with {{p|Pikachu}} and the [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova region]].
* Pokémon collectibles were available for free in every [[wp:Cheetos|Cheetos]] snack pack.
* On the Toonami block, Cartoon Network hosted a contest titled "Toonami-Game On Video Game Championship" in 2006, with Pokémon merchandise given out as prizes.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/cartoon-network-to-host-toonami-game-on-video-gaming</ref>

==Trivia==
* Starting from [[Pokémon: Black & White]], Cartoon Network aired the show in English and Hindi only, hence the Tamil and Telugu feeds have aired only from Season 5 to Season 14.
* Instead of following the usual tradition of literally translating the moves' names in Hindi, several of them have been kept the same as in English starting season 14.
* After the first few episodes, Hungama TV stopped airing the [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#2014 Hungama airing|opening theme]] and credits.
* Prior to ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'', Hungama TV did not include the [[Who's that Pokémon]] segment for Pokémon: Indigo League airings. They stopped the segment from ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime time]]'', and restarted it from ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.
* Hungama TV made a [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#PokéRap (Hungama TV)|PokéRap]] for their Indigo League airings. It bears no resemblance to the original [[Pokérap]] and is only called Pokérap because it was subtitled as such. It started airing from ''[[EP012|Here comes the Squirtle Squad!]]'' and stopped after ''[[EP052|Princess Vs. Princess]]'', and restarted fom ''A Friend In Deed''.
* From the mid of second run of [[Pokémon: Black & White]], Cartoon Network replaced the [[Black and White (song)|regular opening]] with a [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes#Pokémon: Black & White Song Video|new one]].
* Hungama TV made another PokéRap which started airing from ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]''. It had two variants, both featured live action dance sequences and provided a hint about the airing of [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]].
**Starting from ''A friend In Deed'', this Pokérap was used randomly for re-run airings.

====Advanced Generation series====
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
The first season of Pokémon {{series|Advanced Generation}} debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.

The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]''.

[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|entire season]] within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.

{{bulbanews|Anime in Indian subcontinent shifted to Pogo}}
In early 2011, the anime switched to {{wp|Pogo}}, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo TV logo]]

The last season of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and thirteenth season overall, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, that is ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' aired on October 25, 2011 in India.

[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black and White]]

Many changes were introduced, including: a new time-slot for the show, the voice of the [[narrator]] as well as a new voice actor for [[Delia Ketchum]].

==Pokémon manga==
English-translated [[Pokémon manga]] was distributed in India by [[Chuang Yi]].

==Pokémon Merchandise==
* Pokémon became an instant hit in India and almost always used to be the number one kids show on TV. Due to its huge popularity, many pirated Pokémon products began to be sold in India.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.org.in/mam/headlines/y2k3/dec/decmam4.htm</ref>
* Pokémon merchandise is available in India from Reliance Home video and games.
* Pokémon [[wp:Raksha Bandhan|Rakhis]] were available in India, with {{p|Pikachu}} and the [[Starter Pokémon|starter Pokémon]] of [[Unova region]].
* Pokémon collectibles were available for free in every [[wp:Cheetos|Cheetos]] snack pack.
* On the Toonami block where Pokémon once aired, Cartoon Network in 2006 hosted a contest titled "Toonami-Game On Video Game Championship", with Pokémon merchandise given out as prizes.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/cartoon-network-to-host-toonami-game-on-video-gaming</ref>

==Trivia==
* Starting from [[Pokémon: Black & White]], Cartoon Network aired the show in English and Hindi only.

== B2W2 US Boxarts with ESRB Ratings ==

Hey, Adyniz! I'm trying to upload White 2's US Boxart with the ESRB rating, but it doesn't seem to be working. Is uploading images something only for staff? If so, could you or someone from the staff maybe upload the images? We don't need the boxart with "Rating Pending" on it anymore. Thanks! [[User:Torpoleon|Torpoleon]] ([[User talk:Torpoleon|talk]]) 17:56, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
:Bulbagarden Archives is locked at the moment, and it currently do not have a determined opening date. So yes, only the Archives staff members can upload images. And sure, I won't mind uploading the requested images. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 18:08, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

:::I found the similar [http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/181778b.jpg images] on [http://www.gamestop.com/common/images/lbox/181777b.jpg Gamestop], with no distorted pixels but smaller in comparison. The problem is that they are of very low quality/resolution as compared to the ones that we are currently using. Besides, the rating is already mentioned in the article, so it is not that big of an issue right now. Therefore, I think we should wait for the high quality versions. Also, if you forgot to sign your comment, you are not suppose to sign it later, it is against [[Bulbapedia:Talk page policy#Signing comments|the talk page policy]].

== Unneeded redirect? ==

Take a look at [[Template:New episode]]? Those redirects were created to remove unnecessary redlinks from the Wanted Pages. Take a look at what links to them before you just up and delete things. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 19:48, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
:Isn't that the case with at least one article every time? For example, no matter what we do, the next (currently unrevealed) episode will always appear in the wanted pages. Right now, it is BW093. So, why those two are getting special treatments? [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 23:15, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
::Because it isn't the next immediate one. They aren't the ones that should theoretically be created in one week. There will always be future things; however, these links aren't considered "future things". Instead, they are considered links that exist only because a template forces them to.

== Battle judge va ==

I saw on Bill Roger's facebook page that he voiced the battle judge of the Clubsplosion tournament. Shouldn't that be listed on his bulbapedia page? [[User:Pattyman|Patty]][[User talk:Pattyman|Man]] 00:44, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
:No, he did not say that. What he said was "''You can also hear me in the '''next few eps''' as the battle judge''". That does not necessarily mean that he is voicing any of the Clubsplosion judges (Freddy O'Martian is voiced by Tom Wayland, and Marc Thompson voiced Don George). He might be referring to a "future" dub episode, since a battle judge does appear in BW083/84 (Homika's Gym referee) or it could be [[Jeremy]] (BW086).

::Oh wait, now I see what you were referring to, after skimming through the episode. Well, if Bill was referring to that guy then it should be noted, but it is not confirmed yet.

Can you upload it? I uploaded it on the pokemon wikia, where I can upload Image's even though I am new there. I send you a link to that image:[http://images.wikia.com/pokemon/images/a/af/Luana_%28Ranger%29.png].

== Project notice ==
Hello! I came here you a question{{tt|*|obviously}}. I was reading the [[Bulbapedia:Manual of style/Anime|anime MoS]] and I noticed that the first section of that page {{tt|states|since it's a policy}} that only completed articles should have the project anime notice, but I have seen many stubs which have the project notice. I was going to ask KG 'bout it, but I thought that since you were the one who created that page, you might have a clue about it. What do you think should be done?

== Dawn returning to Hoenn ==

I don't understand why you undid my edit on BW093 in the major events section. Dawn is currently on a journey in Hoenn, so it's obvious that she's going back there. We did the same thing when May briefly returned, so why should Dawn be different? [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ101]] ([[User talk:Satoshi101|talk]]) 20:01, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
:May explicitly stated that she has earned 3 Johto ribbons and she'll go back to Johto in order to win the remaining ribbons. How do we know that Dawn is currently on a journey in Hoenn? And I honestly fail to see the 'obvious' part here. She did not say a single word about her journey in Hoenn region. So, assuming that she will go back to Hoenn is pure speculation at the moment. Unless we get an official confirmation, it should not be added. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 20:12, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
::Well, if you put it that way, then maybe we should wait. [[User:Satoshi101|サトシ101]] ([[User talk:Satoshi101|talk]]) 20:23, 23 August 2012 (UTC)

== Image (again) ==
Hi, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Adyniz# I talked to you earlier about an image], now I can upload images so I uploaded [http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Krokka_Tunnel_Ranger1.png a image] for [[Krokka Tunnel]] on Bulbagarden, but I don't see it at the Krokka Tunnel page, can you do something about it? ([http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Krokka_Tunnel_Ranger1.png Click here for the Image on bulbagarden]).
--[[User:Quilafa|Quilafa]] ([[User talk:Quilafa|talk]]) 12:59, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
:The image is there but it is not showing up because of the cache. Try purging the cache (click on the clock on top of the page). If that doesn't work, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Krokka_Tunnel&action=edit open this link]{{tt|*|it will take you directly in the editing mode}} and then select "show preview". If the image shows up when previewing it, click on the "Save page" button and it should fix the problem. This edit will not be counted as an actual edit, but rather a 'null edit'. Null edit technique usually helps in fixing the cache problems. Try it and let me know. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 15:24, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

== Kotetsu ==

I recreated his page because he seems to be confirmed to be Ash's rival. I did not know. I'm sorry. Can I recreate it the day before BW092 airs?{{unsigned|‎Chomper4}}
:He does not seem to be confirmed to be the 'new' rival but merely a Pokémon Trainer, at least for now. A confirmation requires a solid official proof, which we do not have at the moment. He is not travelling with the gang either since there is no sign of him being in the TR two parter. No summary, magazine scan, or any other source has confirmed his status. Therefore, I do not see the need of creating the article before the episode airs. However, you are more than welcome to create the article once the episode officially airs but please do not forget to put some more effort, as I mentioned in {{ut|Chomper4#Articles, again|my previous message}} on your talkpage. For now, you can save the article in a notepad file if you want.
:Last but not the least, on all {{bp|talk page}}s, write <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> or click on http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png button after every post. This automatically generates your [[Bulbapedia:signature policy|signature]], and lets everyone know who has written what, and when. Thank you, and have a good time contributing! [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 14:46, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
: Sure, and do you mean when BW092 or BW093 airs? [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 14:52, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
::BW093, the episode in which Kotetsu debuts. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 15:01, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
::Sorry, but its just I am worried that someone else will create it. I heard that the serebii forums are talking about proof for Kotetsu being the new rival. [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]]) 21:48, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

== Big question due to there being a Kotetsu picture? ==

Can I make [[User:Chomper4/Kotetsu]]? [[User:Chomper4|Chomper4]] ([[User talk:Chomper4|talk]])
:We have been over this before, twice. No article before the episode. Whether their is a picture available or not, we still do not know anything about the character. I have already explained everything in detail in our previous discussions. If you are concerned about the credit i.e someone else might create the article before you, then I must inform you that Bulbapedia is a ''community-driven'' Pokémon encyclopedia. Everyone gets an equal chance to contribute, unless there is a good reason to prevent a certain group of users from editing. The article will be unprotected exactly after the episode is done airing. I repeat, please ''do not'' create an article related to Kotetsu in any of the namespaces before BW093's official airing, and it applies to everyone. Thank you.

== Humilau Gym and the Pokémon League Calendar ==

G'day, Adyniz. I included one link to a Humilau Gym season on the article talk page (hover your mouse over the shaded areas to see what season is in progress). In case that's not enough, see [https://www.pokemon.com/us/account/play-pokemon-leagues/5071/?y=2013&m=7 here], [https://www.pokemon.com/us/account/play-pokemon-leagues/1901/?y=2013&m=7 here], [https://www.pokemon.com/us/account/play-pokemon-leagues/209/?y=2013&m=7 here], [https://www.pokemon.com/us/account/play-pokemon-leagues/210/?y=2013&m=7 here] for local seasons across the United States. All "Humilau Gym" seasons follow an Opelucid Gym season (July) and start on the 12th August AFAIK. Presumably there's a "master" schedule with these specific names and dates which seems to be out of the reach of us mere mortals (!). All the very best, [[User:Shiny Porygon|Shiny Porygon]] ([[User talk:Shiny Porygon|talk]]) 07:37, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
:Aha, thanks for the links. The hovering thing didn't occur to me at all when I was going through the league pages yesterday, all I could see was Aspertia. Thanks again. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 07:42, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

== Why? ==

Dude, why did you edit one of my personal subpages? I realise that the character name had changed, but you can't just go around editing other peoples pages. It would have redirected to the right page anyway. I don't see what the point of it was.--[[User:Pokelova|''Poké'']][[User talk:Pokelova|lova!]] 17:25, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
:Yes, I ''can'' go around editing other people's pages, ''if'' an edit is to be done. Whenever someone moves an article, it is a common courtesy to fix the links, whether it is a mainspaced article or a user's namespace, simple as that. Also, I do not appreciate the tone you are using, {{bp|Code of conduct|it is disrespectful}}. You have been on Bulbapedia for more than 4 years now, you should know better. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 17:50, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
::Redirects are not an acceptable reason to edit other people's userpages. They never have been. And there was nothing disrespectful about Pokelova's comment, he is correct. Linking to redirects does not cause the same sort of problem that linking to non existent pages, or using incorrect categories does. Just because you don't agree with someone does not mean you can tell them off for breaking a rule when they didn't do anything wrong. ''That'' certainly is disrespectful. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:12, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
:::Acceptable reason? Excuse me but it '''is''' a common courtesy to fix those things regardless of the namespace. And telling me "''you can't just go around editing other peoples pages''" '''is''' disrespectful, when I was just doing my job. As a staff member and as a human being, I expect at least a little bit of respect from the people, especially when I try to be nice with others. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 18:49, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
::::Staff members may edit users' pages for technical reasons as long as the output is not changed. I don't understand why it's such a big deal.

== Underleveled Pokémon table ==

Hello again, Adyniz. I was wondering if it would be alright to create a table on the Level article for specific trainers with underleveled Pokémon.

Once again, Hello. After the conversation above, I went to [[User_talk:Jo_The_Marten/Archive3#Underleveled_Pok.C3.A9mon_table|Jo the Marten]] for more feedback. They seemed to be alright with the table, but the message ended up bring [[User_talk:Super_goku/Sandbox/Underleveled_Table|quite a bit of helpful attention]] to the page. Now that I have sorted the suggestions and seeing how it is, I believe that it is in a relatively stable state for the moment to discuss.

::My guess is the same as yours and I also have the same concerns. While I think it is likely to be #43 and #41, it's so hard to know without a cover. I would guess VIZ Media doesn't want to release {{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} with the name "Diamond, Pearl & Platinum" lol. For the Black and White one, while they've done the {{chap|Black & White}} in those mini-volumes, I guessed they might do them in compilations now that it's being published in collected volume format since there might be additional content. I've been sick the last couple days so I haven't been on the computer much but you could put it on Bulbanews yourself if you want, maybe use [http://bulbanews.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Template:Rumor Rumor template] on Bulbanews since it's mostly speculation, though it is on Amazon so some part of it is legit.

The Challenge Mode teams for the Unova Elite 4 & Iris wont fit with everything else in the Unova Pokémon League page, so should there be a section called Pokémon League (Unova)/Black 2 and White 2 Challenge Mode or Pokémon League (Unova)/Black and White, putting the BW teams there and having the Easy/Normal & Challenge B2W2 teams on the regular page?

By what article am I referring to, do you mean when I said BW & B2W2 should have their own articles? Sorry that this is getting a bit confusing, but hopefully it can all be worked out quickly!

== Pokemon Merchandise Project ==

Kind of new to posting on Bulbapedia, so excuse me if I format something incorrectly here. I was wondering if I can help with the merch project. I have been a collector for years and run a website that sells Pokemon Center plush toys and Pokedolls. I feel I can contribute quite a bit about the plush toy brands and lines. I know a little about each figure brand, and have a general knowledge of almost all the areas of merchandise, but my area of expertise is definitely the plush toys (pokemon center, Banpresto, Pokedoll, takaratomy, ect.).

I have referenced Bulbapedia for years now and I would really like to be able to contribute something to it. So please let me know if you think I can be of some use to you guys! :)

As for the Plush toys, we have [[:Category:Plush toys|this]]. I would also suggest you to visit the [[Pokémon merchandise]] article. If you think an article needs work or if it is missing, please feel free to work on it. Since you are a new user, you won't be able to create an article at the moment, you can still edit the articles though. So, if you want to start working on a new article, let me know.

There are actually quite a few huge brands not listed - Banpresto (there are probably around a 1,000+ banpresto plush toys), Takaratomy, Pokemon Center, Jakks Pacific, Toy Factory, to name a few. If possible, I would like to start with an article for "Toy Factory", since that would probably be the easiest and I could learn some things while working on it. I do understand that this probably isn't the highest priority for Bulbapedia, so please feel free to take your time when responding. :)[[User:Pokabubu|Pokabubu]] ([[User talk:Pokabubu|talk]]) 10:25, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

So, can you tell me a person speaking Hindi/Urdu to help me out?--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 07:56, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
:You should have asked before doing so. We only add those episode titles which have been officially confirmed/actually used in the Hindi dub. As far as I know, they have never translated an episode title before BW. Therefore, the Hindi names of the episodes should not be added to any of the non-BW episode articles. Same goes for the abilities, moves and places. If they have been given a Hindi name in the anime, then it is fine but please do not translate them on your own, since it is against Bulbapedia's policy. I would suggest you to undo the respective edits that you have recently made. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 11:02, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
::Adyniz I have NEVER done any translation . Please before saying something like this to some one you should be sure and as far as I know I have been watching the anime from starting and NOT all but some alternate are give dub titles if you want reference see this and I NEVER add false information, have a look I'm giving you link for EP04-EP06 .

:::I am positive that they have re-recorded some of the lines for the reruns. I strictly remember that they never used a single Hindi translated title during the original airings of any season prior to BW. I apologize if you were offended, but it is one of my responsibilities to make sure that we have authentic information. Considering [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=BW008&diff=prev&oldid=1936378 this translation] was not completely correct and some other translations had minor errors, I had to make sure. Regarding the Hindi episode titles, as I mentioned in the earlier message, if you have it confirmed that a title has been translated in Hindi, feel free to add it but it would be helpful if the source is mentioned in the edit summary, so that it is easier for us to verify.

Common man that edit was just a mistake in listening I did not watch it on net I always watch it on T.V and directly add you see out of 36 black and white telecasted in India I guess 32 titles would have been provided by me and IF one or two listening errors are there I think you should not react like that Remember I am a human and as far as re-recording is concerned I have a real proof for it that is my mind that in the first season almost every episode had a title I can say this because I am watching it from the first episode in the original order , only because I came to the net world late I have not contributed to Pokémon in south Asia from starting--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 09:19, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== Suggestion: Strategies ==

Hello Adyniz, I come to you with a suggestion, a rather ambitious and large one so sit back, grab your tea and get ready to read because it's going to be a long post.

'''Overview:'''

As a frequent and old Pokémon player I regularly find the need to search for the best way to raise my Pokémon, which Pokémon are the best to catch, and after having them, how can I maximize the potential of each and every Pokémon in my team. As you clearly know, there is no information on Bulbapedia (except for some stats, abilities and natures, but nothing indicative of a potential "best" situation) regarding this matter. Therefore, I wish to make a proposition so we can fulfill this niche of players who look to find the best way to make their team the most powerful one, or just to help guide the average player with his playing experience in order to avoid some frustration as to why his Pokémon aren't performing in up top shape. To serve this purpose I'm going to make two suggestions: the first one would be a simple short version of what a possible best strategy could be; and the second one would be a sort of in-depth guide for the training on each individual Pokémon. Now on to the suggestions!

:'''Disclaimer:''' (should be written and applied in all suggestions)

These builds and strategies are all but mere suggestions to serve as a guide for the average player who may struggle with the use of his Pokémon or simply to allow
them to learn more about how to unlock the true potential of each Pokémon. It is not meant for the player to be forced to take this path. The player should choose, by himself, which is the best way to raise his Pokémon.

:'''''First Suggestion - Recommended Strategy'''''

Objective - Serves as a quick go-to guide for the overall best strategy for a specific Pokémon.

''Example'':

{{Pokémon
|pokemon=Dragonite
|ndex=149
|level=100
|game=HeartGold and SoulSilver
|gender=male
|type1=Dragon|type2=Flying
|held=Leftovers
|ability=Multiscale
|move1=ExtremeSpeed|move1type=Normal|move1cat=Physical
|move2=Outrage|move2type=Dragon|move2cat=Physical
|move3=Dragon Dance|move3type=Dragon|move3cat=Status
|move4=Waterfall|move4type=Water|move4cat=Physical}}

''EVs and Nature:''

EVs: 252 Attack / 4 Speed / 252 Special
Nature: Adamant (+Attack, -Special Attack)

These EVs are completely focused on hard hitting targets, with a maximized Attack and Special Attack stats as it will guarantee a clear sweep which will continue to improve with each successful Dragon Dance.

See [[EV]] and [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield]] for more information on how to raise your Pokémon stats (alternatively it would be a good idea to make a page dedicated just to how to train your Pokémon's EV and how Natures affect your Pokémon, etc etc etc).

''Strategy:''

The strategy is as simples as follows:

* Keep using Dragon Dance whenever the opponent opens up a window of opportunity;
* Hit them straight in the face with whichever move is the best against that Pokémon, otherwise stick to Outrage;
* Use Extremespeed as a finisher;

Optionally, the use of Earthquake against teams who use Steel, Poison or Fire Pokémon has proven very effective. Roost is also
a good move if the player wishes to make the most out of Multiscale.

:'''''Second Suggestion - In-depth Guide'''''

Objective - Provide a complete in-depth competitive strategy giving the most important information and explanations about which build to choose for the specific Pokémon. As we know the competitive scene always brings out the best in the meta of every game, so to dedicate a page to strategies of the current metagame could greatly serve and help anyone who is looking for the best of the best.

''Example''

::'''Pokémon'''

*Name: Dragonite
*Index: 149
*First Type: Dragon
*Second Type: Flying
*Species: Dragon Pokémon
*Ability: Multiscale or Inner Focus

(tip: a box specific for this idea would be nice, I couldn't find one)

::'''Strategy Name: '''Physical Attacker
*Held Item: Haban Berry / Leftovers
*Abilty: Multiscale
*Nature: Adamant

::'''EV:'''
* 204 HP
* 252 Attack
* 52 Special Attack

::'''Moveset'''
* Dragon Claw
* Extremespeed
* Fire Punch
* Protect

::'''Strategy'''

This is the standard Dragonite set. Dragon Claw is Dragonite's main move, as it gets the STAB boost and is only resisted by Steel-types. Fire Punch provides nice coverage along with Dragon Claw, hitting Abomasnow and Steel-types for super effective damage. However, it should be noted that despite being super effective, Fire Punch won't do over 50% to max HP Metagross. ExtremeSpeed will allow Dragonite to strike first, moving even before all other priority attacks bar Fake Out. Protect is a staple for most Pokemon in VGC, and can also be used in sync with Leftovers to help restore HP each turn.

The 204 HP EVs allow Dragonite to always survive Life Orb Latios's Draco Meteor, and also gives it maximum Leftovers recovery and good bulk. The 52 Speed EVs let Dragonite outrun minimum speed Rotom-A. The rest of the EVs are put into Attack. An Adamant nature allows Dragonite to deal as much damage as possible, while Leftovers is used to restore some HP each turn, which might allow multiple usage of Multiscale. Haban Berry, however, lets Dragonite survive a Dragon Gem Latios's Draco Meteor, which it cannot do with just Multiscale.

As for teammates, Ground-types such as Krookodile can work well as Dragonite is immune to their Earthquake. Scrafty is a handy partner as it has Fake Out to help Dragonite preserve Mutiscale for a turn. Its STAB attacks are also super effective against Abomasnow and Latios, Dragonite's two main counters. Either Politoed or Ninetales can also be used to get rid of opposing sandstorm and hail if needed, as both of these weathers will break Dragonite's Multiscale. [http://www.smogon.com/bw/pokemon/dragonite/vgc2012 Taken from Smogon University] (I am aware that we shouldn't provide content from other websites without asking their permission but I don't have the enough experience to write a full on strategy by myself, I merely wanted to use this as an example, I understand if you have to remove this and if I would have to be scolded for putting this here)

'''Important side note:''' all of this information should be backed with a link to a page explaining how to evolve your Pokémon to raise their EVs this way, why and what natures affect what stats, what Pokémon to fight against if you want to have the best stats raised, how to catch Pokérus to further your stat evolution, the use of Vitamins in EVs, training with Macho Brace and the remaining factors that can boost the stats of the Pokémon.

''Secondary side note:'' As you can see the difference between this guide and the first guide is that the first guide should provide a more comprehensive and simple way for anyone to build their Pokémon in a specific powerful way, while the second one should be an all-out strategy taking the most important factors into consideration on the current metagame.

'''Pros and Cons of these suggestions:'''

Pros - the first suggestion is quick, succinct, easy to read and understandable, every build shouldn't be bigger than that, and the idea is that anyone can easily shortcut it's ways through the menu and quickly understand one of the best builds for Dragonite (in its page). The second suggestion should have a page completely dedicated to it and should serve as a complete in-depth guide of how to build a specific Pokémon. If we display several strategies while backing up that information with each and every VGC (and other important tournaments), this solves the subjective con since we could 100% base ourselves on real strategies used in real life tournaments and place them there for anyone to learn.

Cons - subjectiveness, my idea of "best build" can differ from the next guy, so this can be a problem in the sense that will probably generate a lot of discussion and to ascertain a common "best build" amongst the community could be very hard. This would require a change in each and every Pokémon page to grant a strategy to each one of it, or would require the creation of 600+ pages for in-depth guides in each Pokémon page. Either one of those are obviously time consuming. Another added con is that all of this information is very volatile as it can change from generation to generation with stats/abilities/move updates and new moves coming in to the game, requiring constant maintenance with each generation.

Presented Solutions - create a best strategy contest! This contest should be held weekly with different Pokémons each week, allowing for the community to pitch in their very own version of what the best strategy is while in the meantime allowing anyone who visits Bulbapedia to vote on what the best strategy is. At the end of the week the contest closes and the best strategy is posted on the Pokémon page crediting the user who entered the strategy. This could entice the community in to sharing ideas between them and would definitely bring more people in so they could place their own strategies for everyone to see. This solution could be made on the Bulbapedia page, or have a part of the forum dedicated to it. It could also be applied to any of the two suggestions I made.

'''Conclusion'''

I understand that overall this is a very, very hard and ambitious project for the whole Bulbapedia, with new games coming up every year, with new Anime and new Manga out every month, there is a lot of information that needs to be reviewed and constantly updated. Even after all these years the to-do list for Bulbapedia is huge and there's always some things that were left out that could have been done in a better fashion, hence my fear that making this could be a bite bigger than Bulbapedia can chew, and so I am ready to accept the fact that this suggestion will, most possibly, be discarded and forgotten as certainly there are other things waiting to be done and reserved for the future of Bulbapedia. To finish this massive wall of text, I just want to thank you for your patience and attention given in reading all this, I am very sorry that it had to came out this long, and I wish to point out that all I ever wanted was to provide a new perspective, a competitive perspective even, a new way for Bulbapedia to improve and become a better place for everyone. However, I didn't want to do it without having my opinions properly backed up.

: I only realized now that I was asking this to the wrong person since you're the deputy editor in chief for the Bulbanews and not actually Bulbagarden... I feel terrible for this mistake, and I'm sorry if I wasted any of your time, I'll copy paste this suggestion to Kogoro, she was the person I meant to send this information in the first place... If you want you can delete this whole section. I'm so sorry. ----[[User:EtherealAether|EtherealAether]] ''([[User talk:EtherealAether|talk]])'' 16:32, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

== Ash's legs error ==

The dust effect appears to be in front of Ash and the line where his legs are cut off is too straight, so it doesn't seem like part of the dust effect to me. And, as you said, this is the only frame showing the lowest part of Ash's legs, hence why I'm pretty sure it's an error. The animators probably drew only the upper part of Ash's body for that scene, and when adding a shaking effect to the camera, they slipped up and placed the "camera" below the drawing of Ash they had. It's similar to [[a:File:BW124 error.png|the error in BW124]] where the camera is located to the right of the drawing of the grass, and while I can't come up with specific examples, I've already seen errors like this in animation when the camera shakes. --[[User:Gabo 2oo|Gabo 2oo]] ([[User talk:Gabo 2oo|talk]]) 21:31, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

==Merchandise idea==
Hey Ady, I was talking to nuva-kal the other day about Tretta and Battrio not having any sections on species articles, and he pointed out the lack of sections for various merchandise. That got me thinking, and after searching through some of the merchandise pages, I got an idea that I want to throw your way.

Searching for merchandise of specific Pokémon is pretty time-consuming as it is now; putting in something like "Piplup figures" will get you a couple pages of merchandise, as well as anime episodes simply featuring Piplup. The toys template helps with the blind searching a bit, but there are still roughly 20 pages for a person to sift through to find what they're looking for. And if they then want to see what books are about Piplup, if there are any, they have to go back to the search engine roulette.

My idea is to make a centralized page for what merchandise there is of, or prominently featuring, a specific Pokémon. List all the various toys, dolls, figures, books and miscellaneous merchandise that's of the Pokémon all together so that people don't have to know exactly what they're looking for before they find it. Then, link to it on the species article (not really sure its own header would be best, but under See Also at the very least). Any thoughts?

== XY024 still banned ==
I saw the article of episode XY024 about Skrelp that has been removed from the Turner Broadcasting's official press site, I think it's a minor typo, as you can see, there is a repeat episode XY0005 that has been aired before. Why would they skip this episode in the dub because it's temporary postponed in Japan? I believe they make a major error, it should be aired in June 28th, and episode XY025 will replace it. There's 60% this episode will surely air in the future airings. I'm telling you it's a major ERROR, it's not Turner's fault they had to remove it from the schedule.

== Indian Pokerap ==

Hungama TV has made a new version of Pokerap. You can view it [http://uploadzone-toonsinhindi.blogspot.in/2014/06/pokemon-indigo-league-pokerap-hungama.html here]. Should we add the lyrics of this rap to bulbapedia? We can add it on the [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes|List of Hindi Opening themes]] page, ya aap koi dusri jagha suggest kare waha. --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/PikaTepig999|999]]✓</sc> 11:00, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

:::I did consider that thought, but it would be a bit confusing in my opinion. If we list all the openings first and then a separate section for all the ending songs, we'll have to divide both of the respective sections by the series order separately, which might be redundant. The article looks way too bulky the way it is. So, I think going by the sequential order might work slightly better. I'm open to more suggestions though.

== Edit war ==

Hey Adyniz! I just wanted to resolve this problem. I removed some major things on ''Pokémon in South Asia'' page, here is the edit I [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_in_South_Asia&diff=2154850&oldid=2154828 made] I made these edit like some users wrote the whole number of episodes which were irregularly shown. They wrote some common things like ''many fans sent messages to CNI FB pageto start Pokémon Season 15'' these are unnecessary information as this is an official article not a guide of each an every article. Some trivia were also so obvious that it needed to be removed, but those all users have again put all that information there please kindly check my edit and if it seems to you that I'm right then please undo the edits made by other users to revert my edit and bring back the page to my edit as it seems appropriate kindly take action--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 06:17, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

:Apologies if I'm intererrupting, but not all the information you removed was unnecessary, Viv. However I will follow whatever decision Adyniz takes. --→[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:PikaTepig999?useskin=vector PikaTe][http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PikaTepig999?useskin=modern pig999] 06:48, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
::There. Why?
:::* There's no reason to mention the specific times when the show airs, because it is completely pointless unless there is a solid reason to do so. If I did mention it somewhere in the article and haven't removed it yet, let me know.
:::* Noting each and every single episode which didn't get aired in order seems unnecessary. There are just way too many out-of-order airings to note, which doesn't make the information noteworthy but makes it less notable in this particular case. It almost seems like a common practice by the channel.
::::To wrap it up, that particular information is not that significant and it will not affect the article much if we don't go into those specifics. Which is why I have removed the table. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the help but it doesn't seem necessary. I would highly recommend asking for a suggestion on the article's talk page, before you start working on something like that in the future. It is only for your own good, so that all the hard work doesn't go to waste.
:::* Also, regarding:
::::''"The episode "Ditto's Mysterious Mansion" was not shown in order by Hungama for unknown reasons. It was shown '''after''' "Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden". '''After''' "Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden", Hungama directly aired "The Case of the K-9 Caper", according to the dub airing order."''
:::::I didn't really get what was going on. It said that EP031 aired after EP051, then it said EP054 aired after EP051. It sounded contradicting and confusing. So, I had to replace it with "''Similar to the Cartoon Network airings, viewers noticed some inconsistencies in the airing order''", which I believe is a much simpler way to put it.
:::* The first trivia, article already notes it. 3rd is based on complete speculation. As for the opening song, have they really stopped airing it? Because I checked the first few episodes and it was still there, but feel free to add it back if it's true. And those errors are really not notable.
::And that would be all. If you have any questions regarding it, let me know. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 09:59, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
::::# The theme song was shown only for the first 6-7 episodes.
::::# EP03''7'' (you typed 03''1'') was shown after 051. In the US, 051 was followed by 054, and 052 & 053 were aired after 057. Hence all dubs based on the US version air 052 & 053 after 057. Many people thought they were mistakes in the airing order, so they were adding that to the page. Hence, I added that paragraph. Maybe my bad grammer created confusion.
::::# Pokémon spelled without acute e is a really common error. But spelled as Pokem''a''n is a notable error according to me.
::::# The WTP segment was not shown except for EP052, which was aired after 057. But 052 aired on a Friday (Q August)), so tomorrow (4 August (Monday)) we will know if it has been brought back.
::::: I hope that you understand what I am trying to say. Oh, and by the way, You did not remove the timeslot of BW on Pogo. Are you going to remove it, or should it be kept they way as it is? --→[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User:PikaTepig999?useskin=vector PikaTe][http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:PikaTepig999?useskin=modern pig999] 14:09, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
::::::1. Added it back.
::::::2. I see. Though, I think its less confusing this way.
::::::3. If it occurred in an actual episode, in a movie or say a poster, it would have been worth noting. I'm not saying that it's not an error. It certainly is, an obvious one for that matter. But an error made by the people who probably don't even give a damn about the show isn't really notable for this article.

[[File:Cartoon Network 2010 Logo.png|thumb|Cartoon Network India and Pakistan logo]]
====Original series====
[[File:Season1 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Indigo League]]
[[Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on May 12, 2003<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/node/6848</ref> and concluded in the same year. Initially, the show began airing on the {{wp|Toonami}} block, available in both Hindi and English dub. During its peak, it became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel.

Following the first season of the anime, [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003. With ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', it concluded in mid-2004.
After almost a year of re-runs, Cartoon Network aired the new episodes of the anime with its third season, [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]].

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for its {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani viewers}} in 2004, which is also available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to mutual affiliation, both channels were in sync in airing the anime. After a few months, Cartoon Network India began to air Pokémon in two additional dub languages, Tamil and Telugu along with the premiere of second last season of the {{series|Original}}, [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]].

Cartoon Network aired [[Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns]] on India Children's day, November 14, 2006.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/cartoon-network-to-join-barbie-and-pok%C3%A9mon-on-childrens-day</ref>

In mid-2005, Cartoon Network wrapped up [[Pokémon: Master Quest]] thus concluding the Original series of the Pokémon anime.

====Advanced Generation series====
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
The first season of Pokémon {{series|Advanced Generation}} debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.

The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]''.

====Diamond & Pearl series====
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|entire season]] within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.

{{bulbanews|Anime in Indian subcontinent shifted to Pogo}}
In early 2011, the anime switched to {{wp|Pogo}}, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo TV logo]]

The last season of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and thirteenth season overall, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, that is ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' aired on October 25, 2011 in India. Meanwhile it premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan on February 1, 2012 and concluded its run with the season finale on March 19, 2012.

====Best Wishes series====
[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black and White]]
Pogo premiered the [[Pokémon: Black and White|fourteenth season]] of the anime on June 17, 2013 after almost a year and eight months gap. Also a new time slot was allotted, during 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm every Monday to Thursday. Many things were changed in the new season including the voice of the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]]. Instead of the original production Pogo skipped the episodes ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' which was going to air on Wednesday, 31st July 2013 and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' which was going to air on Thursday, 22th August, due to some unknown reasons. The channel completed the run of the season with the season finale, ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', on Thursday, 5th September. The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.
Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were broadcasted.

{{bulbanews|Anime in India shifted back to Cartoon Network}}
On June 27, 2014, after more than 3 years since Pokémon shifted to Pogo, {{wp|Cartoon_Network_(India)|Cartoon Network India}} said through its official [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india Facebook page] that Pokémon would soon be returning to Cartoon Network India.Cartoon Network began airing [[Pokémon: Black and White]] from July 2, 2014 at 12:30 PM and 8 PM, airing 2 new episodes week days.
During the airing of these episodes on Cartoon Network India, some episodes aired on irregular timings therefore leading confusion among the viewers.

On the other hand Cartoon Network Pakistan is yet to announce the premier of [[Pokémon: Black & White|season 14]].

===Hungama TV===
[[File:Hungama TV.png|thumb|Hungama TV logo]]
Around the beginning of 2014, Disney Inc. bought the airings rights for Pokémon. However, the respective company did not acquire the rights for the anime's previous Hindi dub. While the exact reasons for re-dubbing are not known, there is a good possibility that such decisions were made because of Disney India and UTV's policy, implemented in 2010-2011, that all the dubs of Disney channel properties will be carried out in-house.

====Original Series====
The {{pkmn|anime}} made its Hungama TV debut on May 19, 2014 with its first season, which is currently on-going. ''Pokéthon'', a special weekly block dedicated to Pokémon reruns, was recently added to the lineup. The respective block features four back-to-back episodes.

The episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'' was not shown in order by Hungama for unknown reasons. It was shown after ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''. After ''Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden'', Hungama directly aired ''[[EP054|The Case of the K-9 Caper]]''. Many more irregularities in the correct order of the episodes was observed by the viewers.

==Pokémon manga==
English-translated [[Pokémon manga]] was distributed in India by [[Chuang Yi]].

==Pokémon merchandise==
* Pokémon became an instant hit in India and almost always used to be the number one kids show on TV. Due to its huge popularity, many pirated Pokémon products began to be sold in India.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.org.in/mam/headlines/y2k3/dec/decmam4.htm</ref>
*Pokémon collectibles were available for free in every [[wp:Cheetos|Cheetos]] snack pack.
* On the Toonami block where Pokémon once aired, Cartoon Network in 2006 hosted a contest titled "Toonami-Game On Video Game Championship", with Pokémon merchandise given out as prizes.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/cartoon-network-to-host-toonami-game-on-video-gaming</ref>

==Trivia==
* Pokémon aired only in English and Hindi until the 5th Season, where it began to air it in Tamil and Telugu as well.
** Cartoon Network, from the 14th season, airs Pokémon only in English and Hindi.
* Although the Pokémon merchandise and the anime have achieved great success in India, the manga and Video Games have very little popularity.
* For the Hungama TV airing of [[Pokémon: Indigo League]], the [[Who's that Pokémon]] segment was skipped, most likely due to the episodes being shown without a commercial break.
** On a related note, Hungama doesn't even air the Theme Song and Credits.

==Blurb==

In the course of his journey, Ash battles a mountaineer Pokémon trainer he encountered in a small wooded area. Ash deploys his Bulbasaur against the mountaineer's Rhyhorn, but Bulbasaur is behaving very strangely, causing even Pikachu to be concerned. In the end, Bulbasaur defeats Rhyhorn, but Ash decides to go immediately to a Pokémon Center and seek help from Joy. What could be the problem with Bulbasaur?

==Plot==
This story begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heading for the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. Ash's path is not easy as he has to {{pkmn|battle}} other Trainers along the way. When walking along, he comes across a {{tc|Hiker}} that challenges him to a battle. The {{pkmn|Trainer}} sends out a {{p|Rhyhorn}} while Ash counters with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Rhyhorn executes a {{m|Take Down}} [[Move|attack]]. The ground shakes as it charges right at Ash's Bulbasaur. {{AP|Pikachu}} does not like this and puts on a look of desperation on his face. Ash commands his Bulbasaur to use {{m|Leech Seed}}, but Rhyhorn closes in and sends Bulbasaur flying before the attack is launched. Ash tries to recall Bulbasaur, but Bulbasaur refuses. {{an|Brock}} states that it will not back down until it wins and it seems that Bulbasaur really wants to battle it. The Hiker says Ash must be a bad Trainer if his own Pokémon does not listen to him and cannot even return it to its {{ball|Poké}} when told. Rhyhorn charges again, but Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, stopping it dead in its tracks before following up with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. Rhyhorn [[fainting|collapses]] and Ash wins. The Hiker commends Ash for training Bulbasaur well. Ash then notices that his Bulbasaur cannot get up, its bulb pulsating a blue glow.

They rush Bulbasaur to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]]. Ash tells [[Nurse Joy]] about what happened and asks her to save it. Nurse Joy hooks up Bulbasaur to a machine and runs some tests. Afterward, she returns to Ash and informs him that Bulbasaur is not sick at all. It is almost ready to [[Evolution|evolve]]! Ash is purely excited, but Bulbasaur overhears Ash, not appearing to be as happy. Nurse Joy tells Ash that it will evolve at a special festival for Bulbasaur.

Everyone is asleep at the Pokémon Center and a long line of {{p|Bulbasaur}} goes past. Ash's Bulbasaur gets up and follows them. Pikachu sees this and decides that he will investigate. He wakes up Ash and they decide to follow him.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up and Jessie sees all the beautiful flowers, enjoying them. James disagrees as he has allergies. Suddenly, they walk right past the big group of Bulbasaur holding Ash's Bulbasaur. Jessie says they should capture them, but the Bulbasaur all hit them with their vines, and they blast off again.

They are all following Pikachu. Brock says if they follow the trail of pollen, they might find Ash's Bulbasaur. Suddenly, the roots of a bunch of tree start thrashing around. A bunch of vines starts blocking their path to try to stop them from getting through. Ash says they will not stop, and they dive through them just in time. They were inside the Great Mysterious Garden, the legend was true, Inside are thousands of Bulbasaur.

Suddenly a tree starts to open and a {{p|Venusaur}} appears. It climbs on a big tree stump. Ash then scans it on his [[Pokédex]]. Brock comments on the description, saying that it makes it sound like a plant.

The gang searches for Ash's Bulbasaur; when they realize it has a bandage on its head, they manage to spot it. {{TRT}} cannot get through the wall of vines. James asks {{MTR}} to scratch his way through, and Meowth says he just had his claws filed. Jessie and James get out an axe and a saw. However, the vines attack them, and chase them away. Ash tries to yell out to his Bulbasaur; Brock stops him and reminds him that humans have never been in this garden before. All of the Bulbasaur are happy except for Ash's. All of the bulbs on the Bulbasaur's backs begin to glow.

The Bulbasaur start to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} one by one. Brock says that people have always disagreed whether Bulbasaur is a plant or animal. He says that maybe Bulbasaur are a symbol that all life on Earth is connected. Ash points out that his Bulbasaur is struggling to ''not'' evolve. The Venusaur yells at it, and all the Ivysaur start getting mad. The Venusaur is about to hit Bulbasaur with its Vine Whip, but Ash blocks it just in time.

Ash apologizes for coming to their festival, but states Bulbasaur is his friend. He asks if they are mad that Bulbasaur will not evolve, and they all nod. Ash says that if Bulbasaur does not want to evolve, they cannot force it to. A bunch of pollen comes from the flower on Venusaur's back and goes on the tree, causing it to grow more. Misty says that it's manipulating nature. Venusaur says to Bulbasaur that if it evolves, it could do that too. It still refuses to evolve.

Team Rocket arrives in their {{TP|Team Rocket|balloon|mechas}}. All of a sudden, they start sucking up the Ivysaur into a bag. Pikachu flies up and Ash's Bulbasaur catches it with its vine. Ash tells Bulbasaur to knock Team Rocket out of the sky. Bulbasaur tries using Razor Leaf, but it fails. James asks if they should get Bulbasaur, and Jessie and Meowth just laugh, saying Bulbasaur is a wimp. Bulbasaur shouts and the sun suddenly rises over the horizon. The sun's rays enters through the opening into the top of the bulb in Bulbasaur's back. The Pokédex says it's getting ready to use {{m|Solar Beam}}. Ash tells it to ready its Solar Beam. The bulb glows, and a huge, blue beam of energy shoots out, hitting the balloon. The balloon explodes, and Bulbasaur frees all the Ivysaur with Razor Leaf.

Team Rocket falls to the ground in the basket. All the Pokémon are mad. They hit Team Rocket at once with all their vines, and they go flying for the second time in one episode. Ash says Bulbasaur did great. Venusaur agrees, extending a vine. Bulbasaur extends its vine and connects with Venusaur as a sign of respect.

Ash and the others leave. They notice that the garden has disappeared. They wave goodbye to Venusaur and Ivysaur.

==Blurb==

In the course of his journey, Ash battles a mountaineer Pokémon trainer he encountered in a small wooded area. Ash deploys his Bulbasaur against the mountaineer's Rhyhorn, but Bulbasaur is behaving very strangely, causing even Pikachu to be concerned. In the end, Bulbasaur defeats Rhyhorn, but Ash decides to go immediately to a Pokémon Center and seek help from Joy. What could be the problem with Bulbasaur?

==Plot==
This story begins with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} heading for the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. Ash's path is not easy as he has to {{pkmn|battle}} other Trainers along the way. When walking along, he comes across a {{tc|Hiker}} that challenges him to a battle. The {{pkmn|Trainer}} sends out a {{p|Rhyhorn}} while Ash counters with {{AP|Bulbasaur}}. Rhyhorn executes a {{m|Take Down}} [[Move|attack]]. The ground shakes as it charges right at Ash's Bulbasaur. {{AP|Pikachu}} does not like this and puts on a look of desperation on his face. Ash commands his Bulbasaur to use {{m|Leech Seed}}, but Rhyhorn closes in and sends Bulbasaur flying before the attack is launched. Ash tries to recall Bulbasaur, but Bulbasaur refuses. {{an|Brock}} states that it will not back down until it wins and it seems that Bulbasaur really wants to battle it. The Hiker says Ash must be a bad Trainer if his own Pokémon does not listen to him and cannot even return it to its {{ball|Poké}} when told. Rhyhorn charges again, but Bulbasaur uses {{m|Razor Leaf}}, stopping it dead in its tracks before following up with a {{m|Vine Whip}}. Rhyhorn [[fainting|collapses]] and Ash wins. The Hiker commends Ash for training Bulbasaur well. Ash then notices that his Bulbasaur cannot get up, its bulb pulsating a blue glow.

They rush Bulbasaur to the nearest [[Pokémon Center]]. Ash tells [[Nurse Joy]] about what happened and asks her to save it. Nurse Joy hooks up Bulbasaur to a machine and runs some tests. Afterward, she returns to Ash and informs him that Bulbasaur is not sick at all. It is almost ready to [[Evolution|evolve]]! Ash is purely excited, but Bulbasaur overhears Ash, not appearing to be as happy. Nurse Joy tells Ash that it will evolve at a special festival for Bulbasaur.

Everyone is asleep at the Pokémon Center and a long line of {{p|Bulbasaur}} goes past. Ash's Bulbasaur gets up and follows them. Pikachu sees this and decides that he will investigate. He wakes up Ash and they decide to follow him.

[[Jessie]] and [[James]] show up and Jessie sees all the beautiful flowers, enjoying them. James disagrees as he has allergies. Suddenly, they walk right past the big group of Bulbasaur holding Ash's Bulbasaur. Jessie says they should capture them, but the Bulbasaur all hit them with their vines, and they blast off again.

They are all following Pikachu. Brock says if they follow the trail of pollen, they might find Ash's Bulbasaur. Suddenly, the roots of a bunch of tree start thrashing around. A bunch of vines starts blocking their path to try to stop them from getting through. Ash says they will not stop, and they dive through them just in time. They were inside the Great Mysterious Garden, the legend was true, Inside are thousands of Bulbasaur.

Suddenly a tree starts to open and a {{p|Venusaur}} appears. It climbs on a big tree stump. Ash then scans it on his [[Pokédex]]. Brock comments on the description, saying that it makes it sound like a plant.

The gang searches for Ash's Bulbasaur; when they realize it has a bandage on its head, they manage to spot it. {{TRT}} cannot get through the wall of vines. James asks {{MTR}} to scratch his way through, and Meowth says he just had his claws filed. Jessie and James get out an axe and a saw. However, the vines attack them, and chase them away. Ash tries to yell out to his Bulbasaur; Brock stops him and reminds him that humans have never been in this garden before. All of the Bulbasaur are happy except for Ash's. All of the bulbs on the Bulbasaur's backs begin to glow.

The Bulbasaur start to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} one by one. Brock says that people have always disagreed whether Bulbasaur is a plant or animal. He says that maybe Bulbasaur are a symbol that all life on Earth is connected. Ash points out that his Bulbasaur is struggling to ''not'' evolve. The Venusaur yells at it, and all the Ivysaur start getting mad. The Venusaur is about to hit Bulbasaur with its Vine Whip, but Ash blocks it just in time.

Ash apologizes for coming to their festival, but states Bulbasaur is his friend. He asks if they are mad that Bulbasaur will not evolve, and they all nod. Ash says that if Bulbasaur does not want to evolve, they cannot force it to. A bunch of pollen comes from the flower on Venusaur's back and goes on the tree, causing it to grow more. Misty says that it's manipulating nature. Venusaur says to Bulbasaur that if it evolves, it could do that too. It still refuses to evolve.

Team Rocket arrives in their {{TP|Team Rocket|balloon|mechas}}. All of a sudden, they start sucking up the Ivysaur into a bag. Pikachu flies up and Ash's Bulbasaur catches it with its vine. Ash tells Bulbasaur to knock Team Rocket out of the sky. Bulbasaur tries using Razor Leaf, but it fails. James asks if they should get Bulbasaur, and Jessie and Meowth just laugh, saying Bulbasaur is a wimp. Bulbasaur shouts and the sun suddenly rises over the horizon. The sun's rays enters through the opening into the top of the bulb in Bulbasaur's back. The Pokédex says it's getting ready to use {{m|Solar Beam}}. Ash tells it to ready its Solar Beam. The bulb glows, and a huge, blue beam of energy shoots out, hitting the balloon. The balloon explodes, and Bulbasaur frees all the Ivysaur with Razor Leaf.

Team Rocket falls to the ground in the basket. All the Pokémon are mad. They hit Team Rocket at once with all their vines, and they go flying for the second time in one episode. Ash says Bulbasaur did great. Venusaur agrees, extending a vine. Bulbasaur extends its vine and connects with Venusaur as a sign of respect.

Ash and the others leave. They notice that the garden has disappeared. They wave goodbye to Venusaur and Ivysaur.

==Trivia==
* The episode's name is a pun on Bulbasaur's Japanese name, ''Fushigidane''; where ''fushigi'' means "mysterious".
** Additionally, this episode's title is a direct translation of the Japanese title with the word "flower" removed.
* The [[Bulbagarden]] network itself was named after this episode.
* Although it never aired while syndicated on [[Cartoon Network]] in 2003, it made its debut on September 13, 2007 at 6:30 AM EDT, during a Pokémon marathon of every episode at that point.
* This episode is followed by different episodes between the original Japanese version and dubbed versions. The episode is followed by [[EP052|''Princess vs. Princess'']] in the original Japanese version and by [[EP054|''The Case of the K-9 Caper!'']] in the dub.
* This episode marks the first time that {{AP|Pikachu}} does imitations, this time of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}.
* James breaks the fourth wall by saying that "our fans have come to expect it" when referring to the Team Rocket motto.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 7: Bulbasaur'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* This was the last episode of the Original series where the "Who's That Pokémon?" featured one of the main Pokémon of the episode.
* According to [[Pokémon.com]], this is the last episode of [[Pokémon: Indigo League]].

===Errors===
* When [[Cartoon Network]] airs this episode, a bumper from when Pokémon was in syndication is briefly shown, showing a scene of Pikachu with a Poké Ball on its head from the original Japanese credits with the words "Now Back To The Show!" is in the fade between the two parts of [[Who's That Pokémon?]].

==Trivia==
* The English name of this move is semantically dissimilar to its Japanese name, ねんりき ''Nenriki'', which can be translated to mean ''mindpower''. This has been known to cause some confusion when depicted in the English dub of the anime.
* In the anime, Confusion seems to have exactly the same effect as the move {{m|Psychic}}.
* A majority of the times Confusion has been featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], it can cause the Defending Pokémon to be {{TCG|Paralyzed}} rather than {{TCG|Confused}}.

'''Disable''' (Japanese: '''かなしばり''' ''Temporary Binding'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Disable randomly selects one move that is in the target's current move set and whose current PP is greater than 0, and gives it a randomly chosen disable duration length of 0-6, which is reduced by 1 each time the Pokémon attempts to execute an attack. While the move is disabled, a message of "disabled!" will appear in place of the disabled move's PP, and the target will be unable to use the move until the round after Disable wears off (attempting to select the move will just result in a notice that the move is disabled).

If the target does manage to select the move (such as if it knows the move twice because of {{m|Mimic}}, or if the user is faster than the target and disables the attack that the target was going to use during that round) and attempts to execute it before the disable duration is over, it will only result in a wasted turn and a message that the move is disabled. Since the check to see if a move is disabled happens after the duration reduction, it is possible to disable the move the target was about to use for only 1 turn and as a result have Disable end immediately, still allowing the target to use said move during that round. It is also possible for the target to still use the disabled move if it is called via {{m|Metronome}} or {{m|Mirror Move}}.

If the target has only one move and that move is successfully disabled, it will use {{m|Struggle}} until it can select its move again. Disable will fail if the target has no PP for any of its moves.

Turns spent flinching, fast asleep, frozen solid, recharging, or partially trapped will not count towards the Disable duration length.

Even if unsuccessful (for any reason), using Disable against a Pokémon using {{m|Rage}} will cause its rage to build.

In Stadium, Disable will cause a Pokémon's rage to build only if successful. The disabled move's PP is not replaced with a "disabled!" message, though attempting to select the move will still result in a notice that the move is disabled.
Accuracy in this Generation is 55%.

===Generation II===
In Generation II the last move that the target used will be disabled for 2-5 turns if successful. It will fail if the user goes first in the first turn. Sleep Talk can still call a disabled move.

===Generation III===
Same as before, but Disable lasts 4-7 turns.

===Generation IV===
Same as before, but its accuracy is changed from 55% to 80%.

===Generation V===
Same as before, but Disable lasts 4 turns. Its accuracy is changed from 80% to 100% and it can now be reflected with {{m|Magic Coat}}.

===Generation VI===
Disable does not affect Pokémon under the protection of {{a|Aroma Veil}}.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

== 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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 11:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

Those things you have suggested on the new Pokemon pages are not a physiology. They are blurbs taken from the official site and is also not how we do those here. Please, if you're going to suggest adding one, please write your own and make it more detailed like the ones we usually have. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 10:36, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay thanks I'll do--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 10:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

== Goat123 ==

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain why two of your ip addresses match that of {{u|Goat123}}. On Bulbapedia, having multiple accounts is considered sockpuppeting. Because of this, your Goat123 will be blocked indefinitely. If this occurs again, you may receive a block for abusing multiple accounts. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 18:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== BW134 ==

Please don't just make an episode page based on assumptions. Alexa's debut is not the Treasure episode. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

=== BW 134 ==
Hey wait I just created page with just the debuts of gogoat and the other pokemon I have NOT written about Alex and what do you mean by assumptions I NEVER WRITE ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING 100% SURE I checked it on the Japanese wiki and then only created the page and why you are saying to me I just created the Page with new pokemons thaat's it and tresure episode was EARLIER WRITTEN AS EPISODE 134 SO IT'S NOT MY MISTAKE
--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 05:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

:When people talk to you. Keep it on one page. And stop typing in all caps. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:52, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Well thanks for that--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 07:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

== Welcoming users ==

We appreciate you welcoming the new users, but please use <nowiki>{{subst:welcome}}</nowiki> instead of copying and pasting the same source code. Thank you and have a good day. --[[User:神奇超龍|'''超龍''']]「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」 12:23, 21 June 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for that sir.--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 12:28, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

== !! ==

Cheers, fellow! But I don't think an extra exclamatory sign is required [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=BW007&diff=next&oldid=1925097 here].¡Gracias!--'''''[[Special:Contributions/Pg_6475|Pg]]''''' '''''[[User_talk:Pg_6475|6475]]''''' 08:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

==Preview button==
Please remember to use the Preview button when you're not sure how a piece of code will work. You made five edits to [[James]] earlier today trying to make a Wikipedia link when one edit would have sufficed. Multiple unnecessary edits to the same page clogs up the Recent Changes and people's watchlists. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay Thanks!!--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 15:14, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

== Spambots ==

If a spambot creates its own talk page, please don't replace it with a welcome template. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

How can I translate Japanese characters on Bulbapedia, please? {{unsigned|Fuwanati}}

== The preview button 3 ==

Try using the preview button more often. That way you can check how your edit is affecting the article without having to save everytime. Editing an article way too many times in a short amount of time clutters the 'recent changes'. So, please do use the preview button. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 11:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
:I should also mention that it is the 3rd time you have been told to use the preview button. We appreciate your help but you might be moved to the 'forcepreview' userright group, if there is no improvement. So, please be extra careful and have a nice day ahead. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 11:35, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Okay, Adyniz and a happy independence day to you and your country--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 11:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

== Talk Page comments ==

Please don't comment on other users talk page just to make fun of them, like you did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PokeSerbia&curid=170194&diff=1953693&oldid=1953691&rcid=2090049 here]. It was uncalled for and goes against the code of conduct. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say it. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:46, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

I am really sorry, but I could not stop myself imagine a ''Dragonite throwing ice cream''. Apart from that, I am really sorry for that I will leave a sorry comment on that page.--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 11:48, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

== RE: Hindi Typing ==

Yes, Viv, thank you for your help.
But the matter is, the [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]] page Hinglish words are a little bit wrong.
So i use inscript input on [https://translate.google.co.in/#hi/en/ Google Translate].

== "Last episode of X series" trivia ==

Please stop re-adding the "last episode of X series" trivia. There is absolutely no reason to have it because each of these episodes start with the line "(title) is the Xth and final episode of the X series". Having that information in the trivia section as well is redundant and sloppy. Trivia sections are for information that doesn't fit elsewhere in the article, and since this information is ''already mentioned'' in the article, there is no reason at all to have it in the trivia section. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:59, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Before undoing it once again, listen too me that Trivia has been there from stating and you can't delete it like this after it has also been written in BW142. It has been written from the starting all of a sudden it can't be removed let it to be resolved by an admin till then let it remain like this--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 08:05, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
:Just because something has been around for a long time does not automatically mean it is correct. It just means nobody's bothered to notice it yet. It is against policy and does not belong.

== Pokémon in South Asia ==

I would appreciate it if you ask before moving a page. South Asia includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The countries you included in the edit summary, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, are a part of South'''east''' Asia, not South Asia. As for the Indian sub-continent, only India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are a part of it. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

::I can understand the confusion but I would suggest you to read that complete paragraph. It depends on the context in which it being used, since the definitions may differ. But the officially known countries include India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (you can also read the first two lines of the article). The original Indian sub-continent included two main nations (as the {{wp|Two-nation theory}} calls them) i.e Hindus and Muslims, which later on got separated into 3 parts, India, Pakistan and East Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh).

== Pokemon in India 2014 ==

As you must very well know, the hungama people have changed a lot in the dub. The episodes titles too have changed. For adding this to the episode pages i that suggest we use something like this:

Ep001 example:

<pre>{{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} /
{{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

or

<pre>{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}}
 {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

which will come out as:

{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}
{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}

This way, both the names will be listed. --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/PikaTepig999|999]]✓</sc> 18:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

== Pokemon on CN from 2nd july ==

Hi, As Pokemon is starting on CN, the dubbed titles of the episodes (and the overall dub altogether) may also change, though this is unlikely. Anyway if they change, could you add it to the episode pages by using the code we discssed about in the [[User talk:Viv#Pokemon in India 2014|above section]] ? I will not be able to watch those episodes because of my school timing, hence i wont be able to help you in adding those episode titles. →<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/PikaTepig999|999]]✓</sc> 02:57, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

PikaTepig999, there's no possibilities of Pokémon Black and White 's episode title being changed, as both Pogo and CNI are run by Turner Broadcasts.On the other hand Hungama TV had to change because it is run by Disney TV. Therefore due to Copyright acts, they couldn't have shown the Cartoon Network India dub. As far as Timings are concerned, I also would not be able to watch, because of school timings :) --[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 06:58, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

'''Fire Spin''' (Japanese: '''ほのおのうず''' ''Flame Swirl'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fire Spin has a power of 15 and an accuracy of 70. Fire Spin inflicts damage and traps the target for 2-5 turns, damaging the target at the end of each turn. There is a 37.5% chance that it will attack for 2 turns, a 37.5% chance that it will attack for 3 turns, a 12.5% chance that it will attack for 4 turns, and a 12.5% chance that it will attack for 5 turns. Although only the first hit can be a [[critical hit]], each consecutive turn will deal the same amount of damage. Whilst the target is trapped, it will be unable to attack, and if the user of Fire Spin strikes before the target, when used, the target will also be unable to attack during the same turn.

Damage done by Fire Spin's continuing duration is done after recurrent damage. If the user switches out before the turn duration ends, the target will be unable to attack during that turn. If the target switches out before the turn duration ends, Fire Spin will automatically be used against the incoming Pokémon, deducting an additional PP from the move. If at such a time Fire Spin has 0 PP, Fire Spin will still be used against the incoming Pokémon. After that use, the current PP of Fire Spin will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

In Pokémon Stadium, if the target Pokémon switches out before the duration ends Fire Spin is ended and the user's turn is skipped.

Even if Fire Spin misses, it will negate the recharge turn normally required for Hyper Beam. Additionally, if the user of Fire Spin attacks before the user of Hyper Beam during a recharge turn and the use of Fire Spin misses, the user of Hyper Beam will automatically use Hyper Beam during that turn. If at such a time Hyper Beam has 0 PP, Hyper Beam will still be used, and afterwards its current PP will roll over to 63, and full PP ups will be applied to it.

The target will be able to select a move during each turn of Fire Spin's duration, and will hit an incoming Pokémon with the selected move if the user switches out before the duration is over.

In Stadium, a move can be selected during each turn of Fire Spin's duration. If the target switches out before the duration ends, the incoming Pokémon will not automatically be attacked. Fire Spin will negate the recharge turn of Hyper Beam only if successful.

===Generation II===
The target is now able to attack during Fire Spin's duration, and can act normally. Instead, it inflicts 1/16 of the target's maximum HP as damage for two to five turns upon use, in addition to the damage dealt when it is used. The quote "<Pokémon> was trapped!" will appear. It also traps the target, preventing switching and [[escape]]. If a trapped Pokémon uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, it will be freed.

===Generation III===
The effects of Fire Spin are the same as in Generation II, but if a [[wild Pokémon]] uses Fire Spin on the player's Pokémon, the player may escape if the affected Pokémon has {{a|Run Away}} or is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Smoke Ball}}. However, these do not allow the player to switch the Pokémon out. The text also changes to "<Pokémon> was trapped in the vortex!".

===Generation IV===
In Generation IV, if the user of Fire Spin is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Grip Claw}}, the duration of Fire Spin will always be 5 turns. Also, if an affected Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shed Shell}}, it can switch out.

===Generation V===
Fire Spin's power and accuracy were raised to 35 and 85 respectively, and now lasts for four to five turns. If a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}} is held by the user, the damage done at the end of each turn will increase from 1/16 of the target's maximum HP to 1/8. The text changes again, this time to "<Pokémon> was trapped in the fiery vortex!".

===Generation VI===
The end turn damage of Fire Spin is increased from 1/16 to 1/8 of the target's maximum HP. If the user is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Binding Band}}, the end turn damage of Fire Spin will increase to 1/6 of the target's maximum HP. Ghost-type Pokémon cannot be trapped by Fire Spin.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Conquest]]===
Fire Spin is the only move of {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Chandelure}}. Here, the move strikes four or five times [[Multi-hit move|during a single turn]]; it has no secondary effects on the target. If there are multiple Pokémon in the target area and the move fails to hit all of them, then it will only strike each Pokémon once.

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for its {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani viewers}} in 2004, which is also available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to mutual affiliation, both channels were in sync in airing the anime. After a few months, Cartoon Network India began to air Pokémon in two additional dub languages, Tamil and Telugu along with the premiere of second last season of the {{series|Original}}, [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]].

Cartoon Network aired [[Pokémon: Mewtwo Returns]] on India Children's day, November 14, 2006.<ref>http://www.indiantelevision.com/television/broadcasting/tv-channels/kids/cartoon-network-to-join-barbie-and-pok%C3%A9mon-on-childrens-day</ref>

In mid-2005, Cartoon Network wrapped up [[Pokémon: Master Quest]] thus concluding the Original series of the Pokémon anime.

===Advanced Generation series===
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
The first season of Pokémon {{series|Advanced Generation}} debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.

The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

====Dastaan-e-Pokémon====
Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]''.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|entire season]] within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.

In early 2011, the anime switched to {{wp|Pogo}}, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo TV logo]]

The last season of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and thirteenth season overall, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, that is ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' aired on October 25, 2011 in India. Meanwhile it premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan on February 1, 2012 and concluded its run with the season finale on March 19, 2012.

===Best Wishes series===
[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black and White]]
Pogo premiered the [[Pokémon: Black and White|fourteenth season]] of the anime on June 17, 2013 after almost a year and eight months gap. Also a new time slot was allotted, during 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm every Monday to Thursday. Many things were changed in the new season including the voice of the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]]. Instead of the original production Pogo skipped the episodes ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' which was going to air on Wednesday, 31st July 2013 and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' which was going to air on Thursday, 22th August, due to some unknown reasons. The channel completed the run of the season with the season finale, ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', on Thursday, 5th September. The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.

Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were broadcasted.

On June 27, 2014, after more than 3 years since Pokémon shifted to Pogo, {{wp|Cartoon_Network_(India)|Cartoon Network India}} said through its official [https://www.facebook.com/cartoonnetwork.india Facebook page] that Pokémon would soon be returning to Cartoon Network India, and in its post included a image from the Best Wishes series.

While on the other hand Cartoon Network Pakistan is yet to announce the premier of [[Pokémon: Black & White|season 14]].

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash and his friends board a fancy cruise ship called the St. Anne, thanks to tickets provided by two friendly but familiar-looking people. We soon learn that they're actually Jessie and James in disguise, and their latest plan is to lure Pokémon Trainers onto the ship and steal their Pokémon!

While onboard, Ash observes a Raticate defeating a Starmie. Ash challenges the Raticate with his Butterfree. Though the Raticate's owner removes his Pokémon before the battle ends, he's impressed with Ash's Butterfree and offers a trade. Ash trades his Butterfree for the Raticate, but soon regrets his decision. Meanwhile, James is tricked into buying a Magikarp.

While all the Trainers are gathered in a room, the ship's employees reveal themselves to be members of Team Rocket! As they suck up Poké Balls with vacuum-like devices, the Trainers fight back; their Pokémon team up to multiply their attacks and drive back the bad guys.

During all the commotion, a tumultuous storm brews outside. Eventually, the ship rocks violently, and the consensus is to abandon ship. Only Jessie, James, Meowth, and Ash and his friends are unable to flee, as they are knocked unconscious by the jerking movements of the ship—then the ship flips over and sinks!

What will become of our heroes? Will they have to join forces with Team Rocket to escape? And how successful could such a partnership be?

==Plot==
After earning the {{Badge|Thunder}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} walk across a bridge and spot a luxury liner in the distance. The group takes a closer look at the ship and they want to get on board, but {{an|Brock}} mentions that they cannot afford it, so they walk away sullen. However, [[Jessie]] and [[James]], in disguise as {{wp|ganguro}} girls, give them tickets to get on board to participate in a [[Pokémon Trainer]] party on board the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]]. While Ash and his friends look for the luxury liner, Jessie and James head to a nearby lighthouse to meet up with {{MTR}}. Meowth opens up a call with {{an|Giovanni|the boss}} and Meowth notices a {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} hugging up to the boss; it has replaced Meowth due to the group’s constant failure. {{TRT}} reveals their plan: the party is a ruse to allow Team Rocket to steal the attending Trainers' {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Ash and his friends get on board the ship and head into the main ballroom, noticing all the people, Pokémon and merchandise. Ash notices a {{pkmn|battle}} between a {{p|Starmie}} and a {{p|Raticate}}. Raticate uses {{m|Super Fang}} to break Starmie's jewel, giving Raticate the win. Ash decides to step forward to challenge the {{tc|Gentleman|Raticate’s Trainer}}, sending {{AP|Butterfree}} out. Raticate attacks with {{m|Jump Kick}}, but Butterfree counters with {{m|Tackle}}. Raticate uses {{m|Hyper Fang}}, but Butterfree uses {{m|Stun Spore}} to {{Status|Paralysis|paralyze}} it. Ash prepares to finish the duel, but the Gentleman recalls his Raticate and declares it a draw, even though Ash was actually winning. Meanwhile, James walks by the vendors. A [[Magikarp salesman|salesman]] calls him over and convinces him to buy a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados|Magikarp}}, tricking him into thinking that the Pokémon is worth a lot of money.

The ship sails out of [[Vermilion City]] as Ash and his friends chow down. The Gentleman comes up to Ash and commends his Butterfree. He proposes a [[trade]] between his Raticate and Ash's Butterfree. Ash asks Brock if he should go through with it, but Brock is too attracted to the woman next to him to respond, so Ash agrees to go ahead with the trade. They go to a trade machine and execute the trade; Ash acquires {{AP|Raticate}} while the man gets Butterfree. Meanwhile, Jessie and Meowth confront James about buying the weak Magikarp. James tells them that it's a "gold mine" Pokémon — even its {{ball|Poké}} is gold! — but Meowth scratches it, revealing that it is in truth only spray-painted gold. Jessie asks James how he afforded it, and James reveals that, as the advance on his salary was too low, he took Jessie’s salary advance to buy it. Furious, she runs after him, and forces him to return the Magikarp.

{{an|Misty}} finds Ash looking out at sea, having second thoughts about the trade, and unsure if Butterfree will be taken care of. He mentions that, as the trade was happening, he remembered the experiences he had shared with Butterfree.

Team Rocket's plan goes into motion, the ballroom being locked down and {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s confronting the Trainers. The grunts use vacuums to capture the Trainers' Poké Balls. When one of the grunts walks up to Ash and demands his Pokémon, Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack the thugs with {{m|ThunderShock}}. He spurs the other Trainers to fight back, and everyone sends out their Pokémon. Ash’s Pikachu, {{AP|Charmander}}, and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, together with [[Brock's Geodude]], join the other Pokémon in stopping the Team Rocket thugs. Ash notices a Butterfree swarm attacking with Stun Spore and decides to summon his Butterfree. However, the Poké Ball reveals his Raticate as Misty reminds him that he traded Butterfree away. As he watches, Ash deeply misses his Butterfree, remembering his experiences with it and wanting it back.

Ash sends out {{AP|Pidgeotto}} to join others in a group {{m|Gust}} attack. Pikachu group uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send Team Rocket flying off the ship and foiling the attack. However, during the battle the ship has sailed directly into a storm. Strong waves begin to batter the ship. James drops the Poké Ball holding Magikarp, and runs after it. Meanwhile, Ash finds the Gentleman, and requests that the trade be reversed. The man agrees, and they begin to execute a reverse trade.

The captain tries to calm the passengers, assuring them that the ship is unsinkable, but, after another wave crashes against the ship, he goes down in a lifeboat. The passengers quickly begin scrambling onto the other lifeboats to evacuate. Misty and Brock find Ash finishing the trade. Ash grabs his Poké Ball, but another wave causes him to drop it. Ash runs after it as his friends follow.

By this time, most of the passengers have gotten safely off the ship. As Ash grabs Butterfree’s Poké Ball, the ship rocks again, throwing him and his friends into another room, and knocking them out. Likewise, just as James grabs Magikarp’s Poké Ball, another wave sends Team Rocket flying against a wall; they too are knocked unconscious. The ship capsizes, and goes down. The captain, watching from his life boat, assumes that everyone is safe, not realizing that Ash, his friends, and Team Rocket are still on board.

==Trivia==
* When the episode aired as a sneak peek, it was not shown everywhere, as some areas ran the annual [[wp:MDA Labor Day Telethon|Labor Day Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon]] instead.
* The ''St. Anne'' retains its Japanese name in the anime, despite being called the ''[[S.S. Anne]]'' in the games. This is probably due to the number of paint edits required to make the change, but actually prevents a future dub error when Ritchie is on a ship called the ''S.S. Anne'' in ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]''.
* This is the first episode in which Ash is seen making a Pokémon trade.
* The button the Gentleman pressed to start the trade was a "record" button. There were also play, fast forward, and pause buttons.
* This is the first episode in which Team Rocket members besides Jessie, James, and Meowth appear.
* While there wasn't an attack by Team Rocket on the ship in the games, an undercover [[Global Police]] officer mentions he is on the trail of Team Rocket, hinting that there may be an attack.
* The scene where all the Pikachu are jumping over a wall to battle the Team Rocket soldiers is identical to the scene in ''[[EP02|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' where the Pikachu are jumping over a wall in the Pokémon Center to battle Team Rocket.
* The captain calling the St. Anne unsinkable and then capsizing is an obvious reference to the {{wp|RMS Titanic|Titanic}}. Indeed, in the next episode's recap, the narrator acknowledges this by exclaiming "Holy Titanic!".
* The book ''{{book|Island of the Giant Pokémon}}'' is partially based on this episode.
* While not in the episode itself, the preview for this episode from [[EP014|the previous episode]] had Ash directly referring to Giovanni by name, the only instance where one of the protagonists ever used his name.

===Errors===
* During the battle between the {{tc|Gentleman}}'s {{AP|Raticate}} and an unnamed Trainer's {{p|Starmie}}, the unnamed Trainer tells his Starmie to use an attack called "Spinning Tackle", an attack similar to {{m|Rapid Spin}}, a move that can be considered a spinning tackle. However, Rapid Spin wasn't introduced until [[Generation II]].
** {{AP|Raticate}} uses {{m|Jump Kick}} in this episode, a move that [[anime move errors|can't be learned by Raticate in the games]].
* In the scene where James is walking by the Magikarp salesman, the booth to the left of the Magikarp salesman's booth has a pyramid of normal colored Poké Balls on it. Later, in a scene where James is talking to the Magikarp salesman, the pyramid of Poké Balls is now gold.

===Dub edits===
* In the original version, Ash calls the man to whom he trades his Butterfree a "gentleman" and thus is acknowledged as {{tc|Gentleman|one}} on Bulbapedia.
* The scene with Giovanni talking with Jessie, James and Meowth was used in the VHS [[A Sneak Peek at Pokémon]] with alternate dialogue. Rather than discussing their plan, Giovanni tells them, that they need to capture Ash's Pikachu before various Pokémon merchandise such as the anime, manga, video games, trading cards and figures, hits the stores or else they'll probably be found out.

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.
* Sign all talk page posts with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). This will turn into your name and the time you wrote the comment.
* For more handy links, see the {{bp|welcome|welcome portal}}.

== 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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 11:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

Those things you have suggested on the new Pokemon pages are not a physiology. They are blurbs taken from the official site and is also not how we do those here. Please, if you're going to suggest adding one, please write your own and make it more detailed like the ones we usually have. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 10:36, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay thanks I'll do--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 10:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

== Goat123 ==

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain why two of your ip addresses match that of {{u|Goat123}}. On Bulbapedia, having multiple accounts is considered sockpuppeting. Because of this, your Goat123 will be blocked indefinitely. If this occurs again, you may receive a block for abusing multiple accounts. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 18:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== BW134 ==

Please don't just make an episode page based on assumptions. Alexa's debut is not the Treasure episode. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

=== BW 134 ==
Hey wait I just created page with just the debuts of gogoat and the other pokemon I have NOT written about Alex and what do you mean by assumptions I NEVER WRITE ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING 100% SURE I checked it on the Japanese wiki and then only created the page and why you are saying to me I just created the Page with new pokemons thaat's it and tresure episode was EARLIER WRITTEN AS EPISODE 134 SO IT'S NOT MY MISTAKE
--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 05:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

:When people talk to you. Keep it on one page. And stop typing in all caps. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:52, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Well thanks for that--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 07:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Cheers, fellow! But I don't think an extra exclamatory sign is required [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=BW007&diff=next&oldid=1925097 here].¡Gracias!--'''''[[Special:Contributions/Pg_6475|Pg]]''''' '''''[[User_talk:Pg_6475|6475]]''''' 08:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

==Preview button==
Please remember to use the Preview button when you're not sure how a piece of code will work. You made five edits to [[James]] earlier today trying to make a Wikipedia link when one edit would have sufficed. Multiple unnecessary edits to the same page clogs up the Recent Changes and people's watchlists. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay Thanks!!--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 15:14, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

== Spambots ==

If a spambot creates its own talk page, please don't replace it with a welcome template. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:04, 9 July 2013 (UTC)

How can I translate Japanese characters on Bulbapedia, please? {{unsigned|Fuwanati}}

== The preview button 3 ==

Try using the preview button more often. That way you can check how your edit is affecting the article without having to save everytime. Editing an article way too many times in a short amount of time clutters the 'recent changes'. So, please do use the preview button. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 11:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
:I should also mention that it is the 3rd time you have been told to use the preview button.

Okay, Adyniz and a happy independence day to you and your country--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 11:37, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

== Talk Page comments ==

Please don't comment on other users talk page just to make fun of them, like you did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk:PokeSerbia&curid=170194&diff=1953693&oldid=1953691&rcid=2090049 here].

== RE: Hindi Typing ==

Yes, Viv, thank you for your help.
But the matter is, the [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]] page Hinglish words are a little bit wrong.
So i use inscript input on [https://translate.google.co.in/#hi/en/ Google Translate].
I will be using the site specified by you in the future.

== "Last episode of X series" trivia ==

Please stop re-adding the "last episode of X series" trivia. There is absolutely no reason to have it because each of these episodes start with the line "(title) is the Xth and final episode of the X series". Having that information in the trivia section as well is redundant and sloppy. Trivia sections are for information that doesn't fit elsewhere in the article, and since this information is ''already mentioned'' in the article, there is no reason at all to have it in the trivia section. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:59, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Before undoing it once again, listen too me that Trivia has been there from stating and you can't delete it like this after it has also been written in BW142. It has been written from the starting all of a sudden it can't be removed let it to be resolved by an admin till then let it remain like this--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 08:05, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
:Just because something has been around for a long time does not automatically mean it is correct. It just means nobody's bothered to notice it yet. It is against policy and does not belong. End of story. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 08:07, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon in South Asia ==

I would appreciate it if you ask before moving a page. South Asia includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The countries you included in the edit summary, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, are a part of South'''east''' Asia, not South Asia. As for the Indian sub-continent, only India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are a part of it. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
:Sir here is the wikipedia source [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent#Definition_and_nomenclature here]. You can read it and can reply--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 06:36, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
::I can understand the confusion but I would suggest you to read that complete paragraph. It depends on the context in which it being used, since the definitions may differ. But the officially known countries include India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (you can also read the first two lines of the article). The original Indian sub-continent included two main nations (as the {{wp|Two-nation theory}} calls them) i.e Hindus and Muslims, which later on got separated into 3 parts, India, Pakistan and East Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh).
::If you want further confirmation on it, you can refer to {{wp|South Asia|these}} {{wp|Southeast Asia|two}} articles. I hope that clears up the confusion. Have a nice day. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay, Have a nice day that clear out to me and one more thing, are there only four Hindi dub voice actors available?--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 06:52, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
:Good to know. I have searched almost everywhere possible but no luck so far. And they don't include the Hindi dub VAs, or any other Hindi dub related info for that matter, in the credits which makes it even harder.

== {{bp|Code of conduct}} ==

Please keep in mind that when I ask you not to do something, doesn't mean I am holding a grudge against you or doing it because of the personal reasons. I dropped {{ut|PikaTepig999#Unnamed Section|a message}} because the conversation you guys were having was in violation of the rules. Calling someone crazy and insane also violates the code of conduct, even if you were violating in an other language. So, please be careful with your words the next time.

== Pokemon in India 2014 ==

As you must very well know, the hungama people have changed a lot in the dub. The episodes titles too have changed. For adding this to the episode pages i that suggest we use something like this:

Ep001 example:

<pre>{{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

or

<pre>{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

which will come out as:

{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}
 
{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}

This way, both the names will be listed. --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/PikaTepig999|999]]✓</sc> 18:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

The only thing that bothers me is the accuracy of the previous dub episode titles. They aired Indigo a long time ago and I don't even remember if they originally used English episode titles or the Hindi translated version. So, I don't know...

== 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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 11:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

Those things you have suggested on the new Pokemon pages are not a physiology. They are blurbs taken from the official site and is also not how we do those here. Please, if you're going to suggest adding one, please write your own and make it more detailed like the ones we usually have. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 10:36, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

== Goat123 ==

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain why two of your ip addresses match that of {{u|Goat123}}. On Bulbapedia, having multiple accounts is considered sockpuppeting. Because of this, your Goat123 will be blocked indefinitely. If this occurs again, you may receive a block for abusing multiple accounts. Thank you.

Hey wait I just created page with just the debuts of gogoat and the other pokemon I have NOT written about Alex and what do you mean by assumptions I NEVER WRITE ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING 100% SURE I checked it on the Japanese wiki and then only created the page and why you are saying to me I just created the Page with new pokemons thaat's it and tresure episode was EARLIER WRITTEN AS EPISODE 134 SO IT'S NOT MY MISTAKE

==Preview button==
Please remember to use the Preview button when you're not sure how a piece of code will work. You made five edits to [[James]] earlier today trying to make a Wikipedia link when one edit would have sufficed.

== The preview button 3 ==

Try using the preview button more often. That way you can check how your edit is affecting the article without having to save everytime.

== "Last episode of X series" trivia ==

Please stop re-adding the "last episode of X series" trivia. There is absolutely no reason to have it because each of these episodes start with the line "(title) is the Xth and final episode of the X series". Having that information in the trivia section as well is redundant and sloppy. Trivia sections are for information that doesn't fit elsewhere in the article, and since this information is ''already mentioned'' in the article, there is no reason at all to have it in the trivia section. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:59, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon in South Asia ==

I would appreciate it if you ask before moving a page. South Asia includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The countries you included in the edit summary, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, are a part of South'''east''' Asia, not South Asia. As for the Indian sub-continent, only India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are a part of it. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

::I can understand the confusion but I would suggest you to read that complete paragraph. It depends on the context in which it being used, since the definitions may differ. But the officially known countries include India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (you can also read the first two lines of the article). The original Indian sub-continent included two main nations (as the {{wp|Two-nation theory}} calls them) i.e Hindus and Muslims, which later on got separated into 3 parts, India, Pakistan and East Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh).

== Pokemon in India 2014 ==

As you must very well know, the hungama people have changed a lot in the dub. The episodes titles too have changed. For adding this to the episode pages i that suggest we use something like this:

Ep001 example:

<pre>{{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

or

<pre>{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

which will come out as:

{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}
 
{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}

This way, both the names will be listed. --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/PikaTepig999|999]]✓</sc> 18:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

'''Charmander – The Stray Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はぐれポケモン・ヒトカゲ''' ''Stray Pokémon - {{tt|Hitokage|Charmander}}'') is the 11th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 10, 1997 and in the United States on September 22, 1998.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Our friends, lost, discover an injured Charmander. Pikachu talks to it and learns that it's been waiting a long time for its trainer to return.

Later, at a Pokémon Center, we overhear a Trainer bragging about abandoning his Charmander. Brock and Ash confront the trainer, named Damien, who challenges them to a battle. Nurse Joy breaks things up and reminds everyone that Pokémon are not to be used for settle personal disputes.

Ash, Misty, and Brock rush to retrieve the Charmander. It's not only threatened by a driving rain that could extinguish its flame, it's also under attack by a flock of Pidgeotto! Fortunately, Pikachu is able to make the Pidgeotto scatter so the Charmander could be saved.

They return to the Pokémon Center, where Nurse Joy says the Charmander requires an overnight stay.

When our friends wake up the next morning, however, the Charmander is gone!

Is the Charmander still loyal to the neglectful Damien? Will Damien ever learn that a Trainer must be responsible for his Pokémon? And will Team Rocket's latest trap finally succeed?

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} seem to have lost their way ''en route'' to [[Vermilion City]], making {{an|Misty}} very frustrated. The group stops to consult a map that {{an|Brock}} has unfolded, and Ash determines that—while they are currently in the middle of nowhere—the trail they are following intersects {{rt|24|Kanto}}, which in turn leads straight to Vermilion City. Brock, satisfied with how they must proceed, puts the map away. But, as they move to leave, a large shadow suddenly falls across their path, causing them to look up in alarm.

With the sunlight shining directly into their eyes, the source of the shadow manifests itself as the impossibly large silhouette of a Pokémon. Ash quickly orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to get ready, but it has other ideas and takes cover behind the group. Just as he begins to rebuke his Pokémon the sunlight's intensity dims, revealing a {{p|Charmander}} sitting upon a rock as having cast the shadow.

After checking his [[Pokédex]], Ash is happy that he finally got a chance to catch a Charmander. Brock points out how weak its tail flame is, and that it probably needs help. Ash throws a {{ball|Poké}} at it, but the Charmander whacks it back with its tail. Ash asks if Pikachu should weaken it first, but Misty suggests she try, because her {{type|water}} Pokémon would help. Brock still doesn't think it is that strong because of its small flame, and suggests that Ash try again.

Ash throws the Poké Ball again, and this time it pulls the Charmander in. However, it breaks out quickly, which causes the Poké Ball to conk off Ash's head. They are surprised by how much spunk the Charmander is showing. "A little too much, if you ask me," is Ash's comment.

Pikachu climbs up onto the rock and talks to the Charmander. It then comes back down and puts on a charades display. Ash eventually figures out that what Pikachu is saying is that Charmander is waiting on the rock for someone else to come pick him up. Brock decides that if it belongs to someone else, it is best to leave it. Ash and his friends leave.

Farther down the trail, Ash and his friends discover the [[Pokémon Center]] that is on the map. Ash declares that Route 24 can't be far now. And they couldn't have found it at a better time, as it soon starts to rain, forcing them all to race quickly down to the Pokémon center.

A brief scene shows the Charmander still on the rock, vainly trying to protect its tail flame from the rain with a leaf (as it will die if its flame goes out). Back at the Pokémon Center, Misty is serving up some soup, but Brock is still worried about the Charmander. Ash points out that there's no way the Charmander would have waited around that long. Brock agrees, stating that the Trainer surely would have gotten it by now.

However, they hear laughter nearby, and look over to see a Trainer named [[Damian]] surrounded by a group of hanger-ons. They are awing over his Pokémon collection, which is pretty sizable, when one of them asks if he has a Charmander too. Damian reveals he did, but since it was so weak, he left it on a rock out in the middle of the woods promising to return for it, which he had and still has no intention of doing.

Ash and his friends realize that it must have been his Charmander they saw and that based on Damian's description of Charmander's loyalty to him, it must still be waiting on the rock. This pushes the normally calm Brock over the edge, and he stands up and makes his way over to Damian. While they continue to laugh about how the Charmander is probably still waiting, Brock confronts Damian, telling him to go get the Charmander.

Damian pushes him off, but Ash and Misty soon arrive to back up Brock. The argument almost escalates to a [[Pokémon battle]], but [[Nurse Joy]] breaks it up, saying Pokémon should never be used in personal battles. Damian and his crew leave, and Joy warns Ash, Misty and Brock about their bad reputation. Brock spaces out in his usual fashion, but Ash and Misty snap him out of it by reminding him about the Charmander.

The three race back through the pouring rain towards the rock where the Charmander is, only to find it is now having worse problems than the weather. A gang of {{p|Spearow}} attack it, and Ash tries to drive them off by throwing a rock at them, but this only causes them to attack him and his friends. Ash orders a {{m|ThunderShock}} from Pikachu, and it obeys, scaring off the Spearow. Unfortunately, its ThunderShock inadvertently zaps Ash, Misty, and Brock too.

They quickly wrap Charmander up in their rain coats, Ash volunteering to make sure its tail flame stays lit. Then they race back to the Pokémon Center, and ask Nurse Joy to help.

Nurse Joy is angry at Ash and his friends, wondering how they could have let the Charmander get into such bad shape. But Ash explains that it was Damian that left the Charmander out there, taking advantage of Charmander's loyalty. Brock pleads with Nurse Joy to save the Charmander, and she promises to do whatever she can.

From there, there is nothing they can do but wait. A montage of scenes show the three waiting, while Brock silently pleads for Charmander to hang on. Nurse Joy soon comes out, though, and reports success. The Charmander has pulled through, and it will be fine by morning.

When morning comes, Ash and Misty are asleep on couches in the lobby, Pikachu asleep below. Ash rolls over, causing his blanket to drop onto Pikachu. Suddenly, Brock shouts, causing Ash to crash off the couch. It turns out Charmander has disappeared from the ER.

Ash is certain that the Charmander has simply gone back to the rock. Brock wants to go after it again, but Misty points out that it is no use. Even though Damian is a jerk, the Charmander is still loyal to him, and nothing is likely to change that. They can't force Charmander to go with them if it doesn't want to.

A scene shows Charmander on its way back to the rock, stopping long enough to look back at the Pokémon Center. Ash and friends are soon on their way as well, Brock still disappointed. Ash points out that Charmander knew they cared about it, but it couldn't forget about Damian. Misty then slaps Brock, saying that Route 24 is just ahead, and there would be plenty of Pokémon once they get to Vermilion City.

Up ahead, {{TRT}} is grouped around [[Team Rocket's mechas|their newest mecha]]. They go into a dancing version of their {{motto}}, but {{MTR}} cuts in early. They declare they now had a foolproof plan to capture Pikachu, and they start up their "automatic super-duper high-speed whatchamacallit," which turns out to be an over glorified hole driller.

Meowth flips, saying they [[EP005|tried this already]], but James assures Meowth that, this time, they'll remember where the hole is. They go to work covering the hole, and when Meowth asks if they were sure, Jessie responds, "Don't you think we're smarter than that?." Meowth replies with a face fault. Suddenly, he sees Ash and Co. coming, and alerts the others. They quickly hide, and Jessie orders the mecha to hide itself as well.

Pikachu comes up to the hole and walks right over it. It seems that Pikachu was too light to trigger the pitfall. Jessie and James argues over who blew it this time, until Meowth shuts them up with {{m|Fury Swipes|scratches}} to the face. Ash, Brock, and Misty, being a lot heavier, end up triggering the pitfall and fall into the hole.

Team Rocket then appear, laughing at the fact that their trap worked. Pikachu tries to shock them, but they are dressed in rubber uniforms that don't conduct electricity. Pikachu tries to make a break for it, but they fire the Anti-Pikachu Rubber Balloon Bazooka, which eventually catches Pikachu and traps it inside.

Ash realizes that Pikachu is in trouble. So he quickly tries to climb out of the pit, but fails. He tries to get Misty and Brock to get him up, but finds he is standing on them. Team Rocket gloats for a while, and turn to leave, but at that moment Charmander steps in their way.

Charmander, as translated by Meowth, orders them to give Pikachu back to Ash and the others. Team Rocket naturally refuse, and warn the Charmander to beat it or else. The Charmander responds by closing its eyes, focusing hard, and unleashing a massive {{m|Flamethrower}}, which roasts Team Rocket.

They drop the Pikachu balloon and run like crazy. James screams, "Didn't I tell you we needed fireproof uniforms?!" Jessie tells him to keep running. "Some geniuses", says a despondent Meowth. Team Rocket are "blasting off again" by running off, much to the surprise of Damian, who had not realized Charmander was so powerful.

Ash, Misty, and Brock, having gotten out of the pit, thank Charmander for its help, and Ash asks Charmander if it wants to come along with them. However, Damian shows up, saying he has come back for Charmander, "just as he promised". Ash is angry, saying he was just bragging about how he abandoned Charmander, but Damian laughs, saying it toughened him up. He adds, "Besides, what's wrong with dumping off a weak Pokémon?"

Charmander seems to be taking exception to most of these statements, but Damian goes on about not even having to make Charmander tough himself. Brock angrily replies that raising a Pokémon is the best part of being a Trainer, but Damian calls it the most boring part. Finally, Damian, having had enough talk, flings a Poké Ball at Charmander. The Charmander, realizing that Damian neither cares nor respects it, whacks the ball right back into Damian's face.

Damian is now furious, and attempts to crush Charmander with every Pokémon he has, but Charmander turns its Flamethrower against him. Pikachu adds a ThunderShock of its own, and the utterly scorched and fried Damian runs off crying. The others cheer Charmander for its choice.

Brock tells Ash to go ahead and catch Charmander. Ash protests at first, but Brock convinces him that Ash will raise Charmander to be a great Pokémon. Ash accepts Brock's decision, and takes his opportunity throws a Poké Ball, which Charmander dives into for an easy catch. With a new Pokémon, and a new friend, Ash and friends continue on their way to Vermilion City.

==Trivia==
* This is the first episode that credits Izumi Shimura as an animation director.
* This is the second episode of a three-episode arc where Ash catches each of [[Kanto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]].
* Damian is shown to be carrying around twenty [[Poké Ball]]s, all allegedly containing Pokémon; however, it is later established that a Trainer can only carry six Pokémon at a time in their party, just like in the games. This may be because he wasn't shown to have a [[Pokédex]]; therefore, he is not forced to use the storage system.
* This is the first episode mentioning that Pokémon could die.
* It is revealed in this episode that using a {{pkmn|battle}} to settle a personal argument is frowned upon, and that Pokémon battles are not supposed to occur in [[Pokémon Center]]s. Ironically, [[Generation IV]]'s {{v|Platinum}} introduces the concept of battling Trainers in Pokémon Centers.
* This is the first episode that Meowth translates a Pokémon's speech.
* This episode is featured on the ''Volume 9: Charmander'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].
* Parts of this episode were reanimated and used for flashback material for ''[[BW116|Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion]]''.

===Errors===
[[File:EP011 error.png|thumb|200px|The missing "Zs"]]
* When Ash and his friends rush up to the rock to get a closer look at the shady Pokémon, the "Zs" underneath Ash's eyes disappear.
* Charmander's eye shape changes to resemble that of a Charizard whenever zoomed in upon.
* After Nurse Joy stops running, two extra footsteps are heard.
* When Pikachu is running from Team Rocket's balloon, his feet have pads.

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, Damian mentions to his friends that Charmander was so weak that it couldn't defeat a {{p|Poliwag}}. The English version changes it into the weakest opponents, which created a dialog error when Brock immediately remarks Charmander is naturally weak against Water-type Pokémon.

== Male Meowstic's debut in anime ==

Is it trivia worthy that this was the first time a male Meowstic appeared in the anime? Every Meowstic that appeared before this was female. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 02:09, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Why was Diantha's Gardevoir changed to being an "it"? Wasn't she already confirmed being female? --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 20:02, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
:Just because it's a female in the games, doesn't mean it's a female in the anime. Unless there is some sort of in game event that links the two, like how it's done with other anime Pokémon, the gender is unknown.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

== Witnessing Mega Evolution ==
I think they have already seen Mega Blaziken, although unknowingly but this should not be the first time that they have witnessed a Mega evolved Pokémon. --[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 11:22, 28 May 2014 (UTC)
:The wording is "Ash and his friends learn about Mega Stones and witness a '''Mega Evolution''' for the first time", not "Ash and his friends learn about Mega Stones and witness a '''Mega Evolved Pokémon''' for the first time". ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 11:56, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

By creating your account you are now able to edit pages, join discussions, and expand the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia. Before you jump in, here are some ground rules:
* Be nice to everyone. It's in the {{bp|code of conduct}}.
* Make good edits. Preview them before you save to make sure they're perfect the first time around.
* Use {{bp|wikicode}} and {{bp|link templates}} when adding content to a page.
* Use proper grammar and spelling, and read the {{bp|manual of style}}.
* You can't create a userpage until you've added to the encyclopedia. It's a privilege. See the {{bp|userspace policy}}.
* Use {{bp|Talk page policy|talk pages}} to resolve editing disputes. Don't "edit war," or constantly re-edit/undo the same thing on a page.
* If you have a question about something, be proactive. Take a look at our {{bp|FAQ}}. If you're still stuck, ask for help. The {{bp|staff}} won't bite.

== 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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 11:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

Those things you have suggested on the new Pokemon pages are not a physiology. They are blurbs taken from the official site and is also not how we do those here. Please, if you're going to suggest adding one, please write your own and make it more detailed like the ones we usually have.

== Goat123 ==

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain why two of your ip addresses match that of {{u|Goat123}}. On Bulbapedia, having multiple accounts is considered sockpuppeting. Because of this, your Goat123 will be blocked indefinitely. If this occurs again, you may receive a block for abusing multiple accounts. Thank you.

== The preview button 3 ==

Try using the preview button more often. That way you can check how your edit is affecting the article without having to save everytime. Editing an article way too many times in a short amount of time clutters the 'recent changes'. So, please do use the preview button.

== RE: Hindi Typing ==

Yes, Viv, thank you for your help.
But the matter is, the [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]] page Hinglish words are a little bit wrong.
So i use inscript input on [https://translate.google.co.in/#hi/en/ Google Translate].
I will be using the site specified by you in the future.

== "Last episode of X series" trivia ==

Please stop re-adding the "last episode of X series" trivia. There is absolutely no reason to have it because each of these episodes start with the line "(title) is the Xth and final episode of the X series". Having that information in the trivia section as well is redundant and sloppy. Trivia sections are for information that doesn't fit elsewhere in the article, and since this information is ''already mentioned'' in the article, there is no reason at all to have it in the trivia section. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:59, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if you ask before moving a page. South Asia includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.

== Pokemon in India 2014 ==

As you must very well know, the hungama people have changed a lot in the dub. The episodes titles too have changed. For adding this to the episode pages i that suggest we use something like this:

Ep001 example:

<pre>{{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

or

<pre>{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

which will come out as:

{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}
 
{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}

===Original series===
[[File:Season1 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Indigo League]]
[[Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on April 1, 2003 and concluded in the same year. Initially, the show began airing on the {{wp|Toonami}} block, available in both Hindi and English dub. During its peak, it became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel.

Following the first season of the anime, [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003. With ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', it concluded in mid-2004.
After almost a year of re-runs, Cartoon Network aired the new episodes of the anime with its third season, [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]].

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for its {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani viewers}} in 2004, which is also available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to mutual affiliation, both channels were in sync in airing the anime. After a few months, Cartoon Network India began to air Pokémon in two additional dub languages, Tamil and Telugu along with the premiere of second last season of the {{series|Original}}, [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]].

In mid-2005, Cartoon Network wrapped up [[Pokémon: Master Quest]] thus concluding the Original series of the Pokémon anime.

===Advanced Generation series===
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
The first season of Pokémon {{series|Advanced Generation}} debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.

The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

====Dastaan-e-Pokémon====
Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]''.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|entire season]] within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.

In early 2011, the anime switched to {{wp|Pogo}}, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo TV logo]]

The last season of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and thirteenth season overall, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, that is ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' aired on October 25, 2011 in India. Meanwhile it premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan on February 1, 2012 and concluded its run with the season finale on March 19, 2012.

The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.

Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were broadcasted.

While on the other hand Cartoon Network Pakistan is yet to announce the premier of [[Pokémon: Black & White|season 14]].

== 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 Changes button... Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Thanks! --'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 11:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

== Physiology ==

Those things you have suggested on the new Pokemon pages are not a physiology. They are blurbs taken from the official site and is also not how we do those here. Please, if you're going to suggest adding one, please write your own and make it more detailed like the ones we usually have. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 10:36, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Okay thanks I'll do--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 10:45, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

== Goat123 ==

Hello, I was wondering if you could explain why two of your ip addresses match that of {{u|Goat123}}. On Bulbapedia, having multiple accounts is considered sockpuppeting. Because of this, your Goat123 will be blocked indefinitely. If this occurs again, you may receive a block for abusing multiple accounts. Thank you. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 18:51, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

== BW134 ==

Please don't just make an episode page based on assumptions. Alexa's debut is not the Treasure episode. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 02:58, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

=== BW 134 ==
Hey wait I just created page with just the debuts of gogoat and the other pokemon I have NOT written about Alex and what do you mean by assumptions I NEVER WRITE ANYTHING WITHOUT BEING 100% SURE I checked it on the Japanese wiki and then only created the page and why you are saying to me I just created the Page with new pokemons thaat's it and tresure episode was EARLIER WRITTEN AS EPISODE 134 SO IT'S NOT MY MISTAKE
--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 05:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

:When people talk to you. Keep it on one page. And stop typing in all caps. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:52, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
Well thanks for that--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 07:55, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Cheers, fellow! But I don't think an extra exclamatory sign is required [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=BW007&diff=next&oldid=1925097 here].¡Gracias!--'''''[[Special:Contributions/Pg_6475|Pg]]''''' '''''[[User_talk:Pg_6475|6475]]''''' 08:00, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

==Preview button==
Please remember to use the Preview button when you're not sure how a piece of code will work. You made five edits to [[James]] earlier today trying to make a Wikipedia link when one edit would have sufficed. Multiple unnecessary edits to the same page clogs up the Recent Changes and people's watchlists. Thanks! [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:55, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

How can I translate Japanese characters on Bulbapedia, please? {{unsigned|Fuwanati}}

== The preview button 3 ==

Try using the preview button more often. That way you can check how your edit is affecting the article without having to save everytime. Editing an article way too many times in a short amount of time clutters the 'recent changes'. So, please do use the preview button. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 11:27, 14 August 2013 (UTC)
:I should also mention that it is the 3rd time you have been told to use the preview button.

== RE: Hindi Typing ==

Yes, Viv, thank you for your help.
But the matter is, the [[List of Hindi Pokémon themes]] page Hinglish words are a little bit wrong.
So i use inscript input on [https://translate.google.co.in/#hi/en/ Google Translate].
I will be using the site specified by you in the future.
Thanks for your help.

== "Last episode of X series" trivia ==

Please stop re-adding the "last episode of X series" trivia. There is absolutely no reason to have it because each of these episodes start with the line "(title) is the Xth and final episode of the X series". Having that information in the trivia section as well is redundant and sloppy. Trivia sections are for information that doesn't fit elsewhere in the article, and since this information is ''already mentioned'' in the article, there is no reason at all to have it in the trivia section. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 07:59, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Before undoing it once again, listen too me that Trivia has been there from stating and you can't delete it like this after it has also been written in BW142. It has been written from the starting all of a sudden it can't be removed let it to be resolved by an admin till then let it remain like this--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 08:05, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
:Just because something has been around for a long time does not automatically mean it is correct. It just means nobody's bothered to notice it yet. It is against policy and does not belong. End of story. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 08:07, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

== Pokémon in South Asia ==

I would appreciate it if you ask before moving a page. South Asia includes Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. The countries you included in the edit summary, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, are a part of South'''east''' Asia, not South Asia. As for the Indian sub-continent, only India, Pakistan and Bangladesh are a part of it. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:16, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
:Sir here is the wikipedia source [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_subcontinent#Definition_and_nomenclature here]. You can read it and can reply--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 06:36, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
::I can understand the confusion but I would suggest you to read that complete paragraph. It depends on the context in which it being used, since the definitions may differ. But the officially known countries include India, Pakistan and Bangladesh (you can also read the first two lines of the article). The original Indian sub-continent included two main nations (as the {{wp|Two-nation theory}} calls them) i.e Hindus and Muslims, which later on got separated into 3 parts, India, Pakistan and East Pakistan (now known as Bangladesh).
::If you want further confirmation on it, you can refer to {{wp|South Asia|these}} {{wp|Southeast Asia|two}} articles. I hope that clears up the confusion. Have a nice day. [[User:Adyniz|'''Adyniz''']] — [[User talk:Adyniz|'''Wanna talk?''']] 06:50, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Okay, Have a nice day that clear out to me and one more thing, are there only four Hindi dub voice actors available?--[[User:Viv|Viv]] ([[User talk:Viv|talk]]) 06:52, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
:Good to know. I have searched almost everywhere possible but no luck so far. And they don't include the Hindi dub VAs, or any other Hindi dub related info for that matter, in the credits which makes it even harder.

== {{bp|Code of conduct}} ==

Please keep in mind that when I ask you not to do something, doesn't mean I am holding a grudge against you or doing it because of the personal reasons. I dropped {{ut|PikaTepig999#Unnamed Section|a message}} because the conversation you guys were having was in violation of the rules. Calling someone crazy and insane also violates the code of conduct, even if you were violating in an other language. So, please be careful with your words the next time.

== Pokemon in India 2014 ==

As you must very well know, the hungama people have changed a lot in the dub. The episodes titles too have changed. For adding this to the episode pages i that suggest we use something like this:

Ep001 example:

<pre>{{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

or

<pre>{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}</pre>

which will come out as:

{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}}{{tt|*|Original dub}} / {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}}{{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}
 
{{Epilang|color=AAFFAA|bordercolor=FFAAAA
|hi= {{tt|पोकेमोन, तुम मेरे हो!|Pokémon, you're mine!}} {{tt|*|Original dub}} {{tt|पोकेमोन, मैं तुम्हे चुनता हूँ !|Pokemon, I choose you!}} {{tt|*|2014 Hungama TV dub}}
}}

This way, both the names will be listed. --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/Pikatepig999|999]]✓</sc> 18:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

: Also, the VAs have changed. The VA of Ash is the same as ''Kevin the Blue Samurai Ranger'' from ''Power Rangers Samurai'' that airs on Sonic. Do you know anything about him?? --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/Pikatepig999|999]]✓</sc> 18:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

:: About the new theme song: we will have to make a new table for it on [[Hindi Pokemon themes|this page]]. --<sc>✓[[User:PikaTepig999|Pika]][[User talk:PikaTepig999|Tepig]][[Special:Contributions/Pikatepig999|999]]✓</sc> 18:08, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

::: Yes, I know that the Voice Actors have changed, and have changes for every character, due to everything being changed I'll prefer the advice of Adyniz first. He'll tell whether the new theme songs, episode titles have to be changed or not. If they are to be then I'll my best to contribute.

== Welcoming users ==

It is nice to welcome new users, but some of those you welcomed have names that commonly denote that they're actually spambots. One of the most common names for spambots here are usernames that appear to be first and last names joined and in camelcase (an example of this type of spambot username using one that has been blocked some time ago: AntonioMiralles). To avoid the possibility of welcoming a spambot, sometimes it's best to wait until the user made a constructive edit, then use the welcome template. Thanks! [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 12:44, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

: Okay, I'll take care in future. By the way, what are Spambots ?? --- '''[[User:PikaTepig999|PikaTepig999]]'''''([[User talk:PikaTepig999|TALK PAGE]])''''([[Special:Contributions/Pikatepig999|Contribs]])'' 08:50, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

::A spambot is generally a program created by a person that goes to websites that anyone can edit (wikis, forums etc.) and creates a page or pages with external links to websites the creator of the spambot is trying to promote, generally because they were paid by the website. We do not like these as it's advertising random crap on Bulbapedia. The program run by the creator usually creates several accounts and uses one of them to spam the link. There are then several accounts that go unnoticed since they didn't do anything but they're not real users. That's why we don't welcome them. They generally follow the pattern of FirstnameLastname or NameABCDE where "ABCDE" could be a random set of capital letters. So, I would suggest not welcoming accounts that follow this pattern unless they make an edit that is not spam. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 13:09, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

The '''[[Pokémon]] franchise''' (Hindi: पोकेमोन ''Pokémon'', Urdu: پوکيمون ''Pokémon'') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the first broadcast of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', in both English as well as in Hindi dub on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}}. The respective channel hosted the show for eight years straight (2003-2011) and aired the initial eleven seasons. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} has been shifted to {{wp|Pogo (TV channel)|Pogo}} from March, 2011 in India.

===Original series===
[[File:Season1 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Indigo League]]
[[Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on April 1, 2003 and concluded in the same year. Initially, the show began airing on the {{wp|Toonami}} block, available in both Hindi and English dub. During its peak, it became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel.

Following the first season of the anime, [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003. With ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', it concluded in mid-2004.
After almost a year of re-runs, Cartoon Network aired the new episodes of the anime with its third season, [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]].

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for its {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani viewers}} in 2004, which is also available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to mutual affiliation, both channels were in sync in airing the anime. After a few months, Cartoon Network India began to air Pokémon in two additional dub languages, Tamil and Telugu along with the premiere of second last season of the {{series|Original}}, [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]].

In mid-2005, Cartoon Network wrapped up [[Pokémon: Master Quest]] thus concluding the Original series of the Pokémon anime.

===Advanced Generation series===
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
The first season of Pokémon {{series|Advanced Generation}} debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.

The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

====Dastaan-e-Pokémon====
Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]''.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|entire season]] within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.

In early 2011, the anime switched to {{wp|Pogo}}, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.

The last season of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and thirteenth season overall, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, that is ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' aired on October 25, 2011 in India. Meanwhile it premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan on February 1, 2012 and concluded its run with the season finale on March 19, 2012.

[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black and White]]
Pogo premiered the [[Pokémon: Black and White|fourteenth season]] of the anime on June 17, 2013 after almost a year and eight months gap. Also a new time slot was allotted, during 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm every Monday to Thursday. Many things were changed in the new season including the voice of the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]]. Instead of the original production Pogo skipped the episodes ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' which was going to air on Wednesday, 31st July 2013 and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' which was going to air on Thursday, 22th August, due to some unknown reasons. The channel completed the run of the season with the season finale, ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', on Thursday, 5th September. The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.

Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were broadcasted.

While on the other hand Cartoon Network Pakistan is yet to announce the premier of [[Pokémon: Black & White|season 14]].

===Pokémon on Hungama TV===
Pokémon shifted from Pogo to Hungama TV from 19 May onwards, re-runs of Pokémon Indigo League episodes will be airing starting from 19 May at 1:00 PM.

'''Clair's Dragonite''' (Japanese: '''イブキのカイリュー''' ''Ibuki's Kairyu'') is [[Clair]]'s main {{pkmn|battle|battling}} Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[File:Clair Dratini.png|thumb|left|215px|As a Dratini]]
====Original series====
Dragonite first appeared as a {{p|Dratini}} in the episode ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''.
[[File:Clair Dragonair.png|thumb|left|215px|As a Dragonair]]
She was shedding her skin and Clair was protecting her at that time. When {{TRT}} tried to steal Dratini, Clair protected her which led her to [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Dragonair}}.
[[File:Clair Iris Dragonite.png|thumb|220px|Clair's Dragonite with Iris's Dragonite]]
She later appeared in ''[[EP252|Fangs for Nothin']]'' where she tried to stop Team Rocket from stealing the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Dragon Fang}}. When the [[Dragon Holy Land]] was in flames, Dragonair helped to put out the fire. She also helped to calm the rampaging {{p|Dragonite}} along with {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}.
[[File:Clair and Dragonite.png|thumb|220px|Clair and her Dragonite]]
Clair used her in the Gym battle against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]''. With her speed and power, she defeated [[Ash's Pikachu]] easily. With a wide range of moves like {{m|Dragon Rage}}, she proved to be a tough challenge for {{TP|Ash|Charizard}} as well. But finally, it was able to defeat Dragonair with {{m|Seismic Toss}} earning Ash the {{badge|Rising}}.

Dragonair also appeared along with Clair in ''[[EP255|Why? Why Not!]]'' where she helped Ash find his missing Gym Badges which were stolen by Team Rocket.

====Diamond & Pearl series====
She made a brief cameo during {{an|Lyra}}'s introduction of Johto in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.

====Best Wishes series====
Dragonair appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

She appeared alongside Clair in ''[[BW136|A Pokémon of a Different Color!]]'', where she was shown to have evolved into a Dragonite, creating a clash of personalities with [[Iris's Dragonite]] through the episode. She had somehow separated from Clair, leading Iris's Dragonite and Ash's Charizard to search for her. She attacked Iris's Dragonite when he inadvertently trampled on flowers she was treasuring. When Charizard arrived with {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, Ash and Clair, it attempted to end the squabble, but to no avail, and their respective trainers calmed them down. Cilan then suggested that the two shared some romantic tension, though Iris and Clair considered it to be a bit of a stretch. Eventually, the two bickering Dragonite channeled their anger at each other into tearing a steel door from a cave entrance. Dragonite was then returned to her Poké Ball, as was her fellow Dragonite, when sound waves that caused her and the other Pokémon pain started emanating from where the steel door once was.

===Personality and characteristics===
Dragonite, as a Dratini, was a friendly Pokémon during her debut appearance. Dratini was not yet experienced with Pokémon battles as Clair would often protect her. However, when {{TRT}} attacked Clair and went after Dratini, she evolved into Dragonair to save both of them and caused Clair to want to use her in battles. Dragonair managed to hold her own in battles as she managed to do well handling her evolved form, [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{AP|Charizard}}. Since evolving into Dragonite, she had a protective side as shown when [[Iris's Dragonite]] accidentally stepped on her flower.

==In the games==
In the [[Generation II]] games, Clair has three Dragonair, but they are not her highest-leveled Pokémon, that status belonging to her {{p|Kingdra}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Clair only has two Dragonair, the third being replaced by a {{p|Gyarados}}. One of them has evolved into Dragonite by the rematch, becoming her highest-leveled Pokémon. Clair also uses Dragonite in [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

[[File:Clair and Dragonair Adventures.png|150px|left|thumb|Clair and her Dragonair]]
Clair's Dragonair appeared in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}} of ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga. She has raised it from a {{p|Dratini}} since her childhood. It debuted in the round ''[[PS123|Debonaire Dragonair]]'', where it was first seen defeating Clair's disciple's {{p|Kingdra}} in a battle. Later, Clair used Dragonair to battle against {{p|Suicune}}, but was defeated when it tricked them into attacking its ice reflection and launched a powerful {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

Clair also used her Dragonair to fight off the brainwashed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s aboard the [[Magnet Train]]. On the same train, she then used it to battle [[Blaine]] and to make him disclose the whereabouts of [[Lance]]. However, Dragonair was quickly defeated by Blaine's {{p|Entei}}, and after acknowledging this loss, she sends in the report that Blaine had defeated her.

Much later, Clair and her Dragonair reappear before {{adv|Silver}}, thinking that he had something to do with Lance's disappearance.

[[File:Clair and Dragonair PM.png|thumb|left|Clair and her Dragonair]]
Clair's Dragonair debuts in ''[[PM103|The Ultimate Battle...?!]]'' of Pokémon Pocket Monsters. She sent it out to battle {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}. As Red had {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} battle Dragonair, Clefairy became intimidated by the Dragon Pokémon but was willing to take it on. As Clefairy went for the first move, Dragonair took it in as if it was nothing. Clefairy then got angry after Clair laughed at him as she found it funny. When Clefairy tried attacking again, Dragonair {{m|Wrap|squeezed}} Clefairy tightly. {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}} battled Dragonair to save his cousin but he easily became immobile after getting hit by Dragonair's {{m|DragonBreath}}. With no other choice, {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} had to battle Dragonair even though he and Clefairy got into a fight earlier but Red scolded him to battle Dragonair. After dodging many DragonBreaths, Tyrogue managed to free Clefairy by {{m|Mach Punch}}ing Dragonair. With Clefairy able to battle again, he worked with Tyrogue to take on Dragonair. Using {{m|Double Team}}, both Clefairy and Tyrogue defeat the Dragon Pokémon.

'''Ash's Kingler''' (Japanese: '''サトシのキングラー''' ''Satoshi's Kingler'') was the seventh {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Kanto]] region, and the first of Ash's Pokémon to primarily reside at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s laboratory in [[Pallet Town]].

==History==
===Original series===
====Kanto====
[[File:Ash Krabby.png|left|thumb|200px|As a {{p|Krabby}}]]
Ash originally obtained it as a {{p|Krabby}} in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', where he became angry at {{an|Misty}} for her saying that it was a fluke that he captured all his other Pokémon. Storming down to the beach, he discovered a minuscule Krabby and then made fun of it. Krabby challenged Ash, who fought it with a nearby stick and then captured it in a [[Poké Ball]]. Having six Pokémon already in his party at the time, the newly caught Krabby's Poké Ball was teleported away, much to Ash's surprise and concern. He soon learned that Krabby was sent to Professor Oak.
[[File:Ash_Gary_Krabby.png|thumb|left|200px|With Gary's bigger Krabby]]
Ash quickly rang Oak and became horrified that he thought Oak was eating his new Krabby. However, he became relieved that Oak was actually eating tofu and that Krabby was quite happy at Oak's lab. However, the happiness he felt at capturing his seventh Pokémon wore off as soon as Oak revealed that {{Gary}} had also captured a Krabby, although his was far larger in size. Gary later mocked Krabby himself in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', degrading Krabby in comparison to his own.

Krabby's battling debut came in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'', when Ash used it during the first round of the [[Pokémon League]] against [[Mandi]]. He reasoned that Krabby would be perfect for a battle on the Water field despite {{an|Misty}}'s protests that Ash should borrow one of her Pokémon as Krabby had never battled before. Ash retorted that he still had {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} as backups should Krabby fail.

It seemed at first that Misty's forebodings would prove true; Mandi's {{p|Exeggutor}} used {{m|Psychic}} to trap Krabby in a whirlpool. However, Krabby managed to escape and took control of the battle with {{m|Vice Grip}}. It avoided Exeggutor's {{m|Hypnosis}} and took victory with {{m|Leer}} and {{m|Stomp}}. The intensity of the battle caused it to evolve into a {{p|Kingler}}. It was able to finish the rest of the match single-handedly, defeating Mandi's {{p|Seadra}} by slowing it down with {{m|Bubble}} and then knocking it out with {{m|Crabhammer}}, and then taking out his {{p|Golbat}} with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}. This was despite Misty and {{an|Brock}}'s real concerns about Kingler's ability to prevail against Seadra's speed and Golbat's air attacks.
[[File:Oak Muk Kingler Tauros.png|thumb|220px|Kingler, Muk and Tauros offering to fight Drake]]
Ash also used Kingler in his battle on the Ice field in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', where Kingler defeated [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} by hammering repeatedly on its shell with Crabhammer until it fainted. It then fought his {{p|Arcanine}}, but its Bubble was dodged by the {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and then it was knocked out by {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

Kingler spent most of the time at Oak's lab as Ash and his {{ashfr}} traveled the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. {{AP|Muk}} and Kingler offered to fight for Ash in the Orange Island Championship battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', but Ash chose {{AP|Tauros}} instead.

====Johto====
Ash used Kingler in Johto during the [[Whirl Cup]] tournament in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]'', when Ash realized that he only had a single {{type|Water}} Pokémon, {{AP|Totodile}}. He sent {{AP|Bayleef}} to Oak's lab and Kingler joined his team. In the second round, after Totodile's loss to {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl|Politoed}}, Kingler knocked out Poliwhirl with a powerful one-two punch Crabhammer. However, when Ash ordered it to use {{m|Vice Grip}} on {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}}, the pain gave Psyduck the ability to tap into its {{t|Psychic}} powers and defeat Kingler with a {{m|Confusion}} attack. Kingler was sent back to Oak's lab afterwards.
[[File:Misty Psyduck Confusion.png|thumb|right|220px|Kingler battling at the Whirl Cup]]
In ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]'', Ash planned to use Kingler in the Johto League [[Silver Conference]] against [[Macy]]'s array of Fire Pokémon, but it was injured while rescuing a trio of runaway {{p|Voltorb}}, who shocked Kingler when it caught them. Ash was later informed that Kingler would not be able to compete in the battle, but {{AP|Squirtle}} arrived in time to fill Kingler's spot.

===Advanced Generation series===

In ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', Kingler made a cameo appearance telling the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

Kingler currently resides at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Lab, where it quickly made friends with [[Ash's Corphish]] in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

===Best Wishes series===
Kingler was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Kingler.png|thumb|Ash and Kingler]]
In its debut, Krabby appeared to be fiery and brash, challenging Ash to a fight despite him not even being a Pokémon. However, upon capture Krabby mellowed significantly and became a very modest and quiet Pokémon. This is most likely due to its residence with Professor Oak, who said in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' that Pokémon take on the personality of the person who spends the most time with it. In battle, Kingler was quietly determined, not giving up against [[Mandi]] despite on face value being the underdog against all three of his Pokémon. Kingler was a very modest victor, happily hugging his Trainer, but not waving to the crowd or gloating at Mandi. These are more of Oak's traits coming through, as opposed to the rest of Ash's team.

This is most likely the reason Kingler never secured a permanent position on Ash's team. It has proven strong in battle, loyal, and caring, but the very little time spent together has likely led Ash to feel more secure using his other Pokémon. Kingler, like Muk and Tauros, remains a trump card in Ash's arsenal.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Kingler EToP.png|200px|thumb|right|Ash's Kingler in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Kingler appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. He caught it off-screen as a Krabby. He used it in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'', where it defeated a {{p|Golbat}}, allowing Ash to move on in the Indigo League tournament.

==Trivia==
* Kingler is the first and only {{type|Water}} Pokémon that Ash has owned that ever [[Evolution|evolved]] under his ownership. It also was his only evolved Water type up until the capture of {{AP|Palpitoad}} in ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]''.
* Kingler is the first and only one of Ash's Pokémon that evolved after its first battle. It is also Ash's only Pokémon to win in a [[Pokémon League]] match single handedly, excluding one on one matches.
* Since Kingler was injured by multiple {{p|Voltorb}}, it is the only one of Ash's Pokémon at the time not to participate in the [[Silver Conference]].
* Kingler has learned every move it knows in a single [[EP075|episode]].
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a game highly based on the anime, Krabby's encounter rate is 70%, as opposed {{2v2|Red|Blue}}'s encounter rate of 33%. In addition, in Yellow only, it is possible to catch Kingler by [[fishing]] on Route 25. These additions of commonness are likely made as a reference to Ash's Kingler.

The Lit may also refer to a lit match.

:I concur. That was my initial thought when I saw the name. --[[User:Gioku|G]][[User talk:Gioku|ioku]] 23:47, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

== Manticore relation? ==

Someone made a valid point ([http://i.imgur.com/Nqyqx5k.jpg]) that the end of his tail looks suspiciously like a Manticore's. We probably won't have any confirmation on that until evolutions come out, but I think it's a high possibility.{{unsigned|Dakar}}
:You pretty much answered to your own question.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:53, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

== Gender Issue ==

I think the article should refraim from mentioning any Gender based items until we know more about this Pokémon. For all we know, its a male only species. or the females might be totally different. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 19:06, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

== Korean name for Litleo ==

Its Korean name is 레오꼬 ''Re'okko''.
* It's a mix of its Japanese name and its English name; 레오 ''re'o'' is "Leo" (lion), 꼬 ''kko'' is from 꼬마 ''kkoma'' meaning "tiny thing", "small child", etc.
* Incidentally, 꼬리 ''kkori'' means "tail", but I think that's just a coincidence. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 18:30, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

== Type combination ==

I think it's worth mentioning - like with other pages - that litleo's type combination is unique. [[User:Benjabby|Benjabby]] ([[User talk:Benjabby|talk]]) 16:37, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

We have to wait till the entire dex is out. Because there could be a new mon that isn't related to Litleo but has the same typing. --[[User:Antlionerd|Antlionerd]] ([[User talk:Antlionerd|talk]]) 23:03, 12 July 2013 (UTC)

== Special Abilities verb tense ==
"In battle, its red bang radiates heat, and when up against a strong opponent, the temperature increased."
'Increased' should be 'increases'. Nit-picking, but I can't edit pages yet. [[User:Josephdean21|Josephdean21]] ([[User talk:Josephdean21|talk]]) 13:05, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

== Evolution ==

It evolves into {{p|Pyroar}}, please update the page. [[User:Digifiend|Digifiend]] ([[User talk:Digifiend|talk]]) 16:10, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
:We know that Pyroar is "an" evolution of Litleo, but we don't know whether Litleo evolves into it or if there is a middle evolution between them. The page as it currently stands is making the assumption that there is no middle evolution (it has Pyroar in the PrevNext header and "It evolves into Pyroar").

== Filing in template blanks... ==

Anyone have some leads on the following tidbits?
* Gender ratio
* Hatching time

I personally have a hunch that the gender ratio might be 75% female (but that's just an opinion because I found a lot of females before spotting a single male lion). Both can be verified experimentally if needed (anyone care to volunteer?) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 03:48, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

== Gender Ratio ==

I believe that there might be a higher chance to find female Litleos than Male Litleos. I was looking for a Litleo for my team, and I probably encountered around twenty to twenty-five Litleos. None of them were male. Has anyone else noticed this? [[User:ShinyMew9001|ShinyMew9001]] ([[User talk:ShinyMew9001|talk]]) 14:40, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
:I too have noticed this. Sadly I wonder traded my male Litleo, now all i find is females. and in the friend Safari all I find is female Pyroars. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 18:12, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
::I'm currently breeding Litleos and out of about ten eggs, I've yet to hatch even one male. Males do appear in the wild with some frequency though ... I'll have to fill a box or two and start tallying them. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 07:09, 5 February 2014 (UTC)
:::PS: After about 20 eggs I finally hatched a single male Litleo. Either my luck was really bad tonight, or the species might have a 7:1 ratio (and even then, 20 female eggs is still a feat) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 05:13, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
I saw you Destiny Knot thing...maybe give the male it and see if that changes things? Also try a batch without th knot [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 13:21, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

I spent 3 hours on Route 22 in the yellow flowers (need waterfall to reach) trying to find a male Litleo. Not only is the rarity level for Litleos in the area laughably incorrect (average my @$$ - out of the 200+ pokemon I encountered, I saw less than 10 Litleos), but males in general seem to be nonexistent. I then spent another 2 hours hatching 50+ Litleo eggs and got a grand total of Zero F***ING MALES!!!!!!!!! If anyone has the magical powers apparently needed to get one of these please let me know. I'm going to stop trying before I can no longer resist the urge to see what happens when I put my 3DS into the blender and press "puree"... --[[User:Ulithium Dragon|Ulithium Dragon]] ([[User talk:Ulithium Dragon|talk]]) 06:13, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

'''Ash's Snorlax''' (Japanese: '''サトシのカビゴン''' ''Satoshi's Kabigon'') was the second {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]].

==History==
===Original series===
====Orange Islands====
[[File:EP094.png|thumb|left|220px|Snorlax in its debut, going after the grapefruit]]
During his travels in the Orange Islands in ''[[EP094|Snack Attack]]'', Ash arrived at the [[seven Grapefruit Islands]]. Here, they discovered a grapefruit orchard that was under attack by a {{p|Snorlax}} that was eating everything in sight. Once it became apparent that it was a strong swimmer, concerns arose that it would consume the islands' vegetation within days. Ash, {{an|Misty}}, {{Tracey}} and the [[Team Rocket trio]] attempted to take it down. However, Snorlax proved to be a highly defensive and very powerful battler, using {{m|Body Slam}} to flatten {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}} easily. {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s attack resulted in Snorlax seizing the tongue and using it as a napkin, [[Misty's Goldeen]] was almost eaten, and attacks from [[Misty's Staryu]] and [[Ash's Pikachu]] were barely felt. [[Jessie]] and [[James]]'s attempts to put Snorlax to sleep (through deceit and hypnosis respectively), resulted in Snorlax sending them blasting off with a {{m|Mega Kick}}, but gave Ash and his friends the idea to lure {{an|Jigglypuff}} out to {{m|sing}} Snorlax to {{status|sleep}}. The plan succeeded and eventually managed to stop the Snorlax. This gave Ash and Pikachu the perfect opportunity to weaken it with {{m|Thunder}} and capture it whilst it was asleep.
[[File:Snorlax swimming.png|thumb|left|220px|Snorlax swimming "the blubberfly" between islands]]
In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', Snorlax and the rest of Ash's Pokémon were sent out for lunch, and it promptly went to sleep. It woke up in time to attempt to devour the entire harvest of fruits Ash had gathered, but [[Tracey's Scyther]] warded it away. Once put to sleep by {{an|Jigglypuff}}, the group decided to let it sleep, and it once again awoke, devoured the entire plate of sandwiches that Tracey had prepared, and went back to sleep. Tracey noted that Snorlax was exercising far less and therefore ate far less, and Misty told Ash off for not really training it. It proved far too heavy for Team Rocket to steal, and this delayed them long enough for Ash to return and save the group.

In ''[[EP104|Bound For Trouble]]'', Snorlax made his battle debut in stopping a giant {{p|Rhydon}}. After holding an even ground with the huge Pokémon, Snorlax used {{m|Mega Punch}} to send Rhydon flying.
[[File:EP107 error.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash's Snorlax chasing the apple-disguised Ash]]
In ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', Ash mistook his Poké Balls and sent out a sleeping Snorlax instead of {{AP|Charizard}} when fighting [[Gulzar]]. However, Snorlax's Poké Ball smashed on a rock and broke. Snorlax woke up in response to {{p|Gloom}}'s attacks and crushed it, before trying to eat its flowers. Ash tried to recall Snorlax, but the Poké Ball was damaged and would not work. This forced Ash to drag Snorlax over a mountain to the nearest Pokémon Center in order to get his Poké Ball fixed. After failed attempts to drag Snorlax on rollers and luring it with a real apple, Ash dresses as an apple and made Snorlax chase him all the way to the Pokémon Center. It came to the rescue when Team Rocket held the food supply for ransom, easily defeating a super-powered Meowth and then sending Team Rocket blasting off with its newly learned {{m|Hyper Beam}}. It then proceeded to eat all of the food itself.

Ash kept the Snorlax on his team for the remainder of his time in the Orange Islands, but could not use it in the finals due to the fact that it would not wake up and needed to be switched with one of Ash's {{AP|Tauros}}. After the tournament was won, Ash then decided to keep his Snorlax at Professor Oak's permanently because he could no longer feed it and only called upon its power in major battles.

====Johto====
Snorlax appeared in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'', where it crowded into Ash's screen with {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Tauros}} and {{AP|Muk}} to wish him luck for his next Gym battle with [[Whitney]].
[[File:Ash Snorlax Raiden Feraligatr.png|thumb|left|251px|Knocking Raiden's Feraligatr out of the ring]]
Ash called upon it for the [[Sumo Conference]] in ''[[EP194|Ring Masters]]'', sending his {{AP|Noctowl}} back to Oak's lab to make room. Snorlax broke the weigh-in scales, and promptly fell asleep during the opening ceremony. Its enthusiasm skyrocketed when it heard the prize: a year's supply of Pokémon food. In the first round, it defeated a {{p|Poliwrath}} with no trouble, as the Tadpole Pokémon just bounced off Snorlax's stomach and fell out of the ring. Snorlax went running for the food, but Ash managed to recall it quickly. It also defeated a {{p|Machamp}} with no trouble, putting it into the final round with [[Raiden]]'s {{p|Feraligatr}}. This time, Snorlax went on the offensive, but Feraligatr dodged and Snorlax was left teetering on the edge of the ring. It showed amazing agility, and managed to repel Feraligatr's attack by exhaling and using its stomach to press it away. It was then thrown by Feraligatr, but landed in the ring with such an impact that the stadium shook and Feraligatr lost its balance. Snorlax pushed Feraligatr out of the ring and claimed the victory, devouring the entire year's worth of food in one go before falling asleep. Ash then returned Snorlax to Oak's lab.

In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Ash surprised his friends by sending out Snorlax in his rematch with [[Clair]]. It dove under water to dodge {{p|Kingdra}}'s Hyper Beam, and then jumped out of the water to avoid {{m|Hydro Pump}}. It alternated between dodging and enduring attacks to tire Kingdra out. Once again diving underwater to avoid Hyper Beam, Snorlax knocked Kingdra out with its newly learned {{m|Ice Punch}}. However, this battle exhausted Snorlax, and a {{m|Dragon Breath}} from Clair's {{p|Gyarados}} {{status|paralysis|paralyzed}} it, before it was knocked out by Hyper Beam.

Snorlax was called up by Ash in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' for use in the [[Silver Conference]]. It shook off a {{m|Fire Spin}} from Gary's {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}, and defeated it with Hyper Beam. It then fought his {{p|Nidoqueen}}, which had already defeated {{AP|Tauros}}. However, Nidoqueen proved no match for Snorlax; despite landing an airborne {{m|Double Kick}}, her {{m|Hyper Beam}} was countered with Ice Punch and defeated. However, Snorlax could not keep up with {{p|Scizor}}'s speed and was knocked out by a {{m|Metal Claw}} to the face.

Snorlax then fought during Ash's following match against {{jo|Harrison}} in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', although it was fast asleep when sent out to fight {{p|Hypno}}. It was awoken, obviously irritated and angry by {{m|Dream Eater}} and proceeded to scare Hypno, then quickly put Hypno down with Hyper Beam. Unaffected by {{p|Steelix}}'s {{m|Wrap}} attack, it defeated Steelix in the same way. However, it could not pull off a third Hyper Beam victory against {{TP|Harrison|Houndoom}}, who reflected it back onto Snorlax with {{m|Counter}} at double strength, knocking it out in one blow.

===Advanced Generation series===
====Hoenn====
In a special episode, Snorlax made a cameo appearance and was seen being awakened by the herd of {{AP|Tauros}}.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', Ash saw that Oak was feeding it [[Pokéblock]]s, and tried to call on Snorlax to battle a wild Snorlax. However, Oak informed him that Snorlax needed to wait between meals before battling.

====Kanto Battle Frontier====
[[File:Ash and Snorlax.png|200px|left|thumb|Ash and Snorlax]]
When Ash returned from Hoenn in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', with {{an|May}} and [[Max]], Snorlax befriended [[May's Munchlax]], and brought its power to bear against [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's mecha]], taking it down easily.

Later, Snorlax helped Ash earn the Guts Symbol from {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} in ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]''. [[Scott]] notes that Ash picked unusual types to battle the {{type|Fighting}} specialist Greta. However, Snorlax used {{m|Harden}} to absorb the blows from her {{p|Hariyama}}, and then took it down with an {{m|Ice Punch}}. Against her {{p|Medicham}}, Harden failed and it was hit hard by {{m|Focus Punch}}, which sent flying into Team Rocket. Once the battle was resumed, Snorlax was frozen by Ice Punch from Medicham, but used {{m|Rest}} to recover whilst Medicham smashed through the ice. It was then pummeled by a series of Focus Punches, until its fully charged Hyper Beam propelled it into the ceiling and it crushed Medicham with a powerful Body Slam.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
It appeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', alongside Ash's other Pokémon. It was not in its [[Poké Ball]], like many of Ash's other Pokémon, but was found eating food from a kitchen in a restaurant. It was later used in the battle against the [[Team Rocket trio]], but it was sleeping. Ash tried to wake up Snorlax, but it merely rolled over, tipping the Team Rocket mecha over in the process.

It was then seen in ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'' where it defeated a female Trainer's {{p|Grumpig}} with a powerful {{m|Body Slam}}, helping Ash progress to the third round of the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===Best Wishes series===
Snorlax was reunited with Ash in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', where it and the rest of Ash's Pokémon posed in a group photo with him.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Snorlax and Pikachu.png‎|250px|thumb|Snorlax showing Pikachu affection]]
Snorlax is very lazy, responding only to food or battle (and not always the latter). It is a powerhouse eater, able to consume a year's worth of food in one helping. Its hunger often overcomes common sense too, as it tried to eat both [[Misty's Goldeen]] and [[Gulzar]]'s {{p|Gloom}}, not recognizing them as Pokémon.

However, this appetite is mirrored in its unparalleled strength and fitness. It is a very strong swimmer and is deceptively agile, along with its hugely powerful physical moves. Snorlax's main advantage is its huge defensive capabilities, with very few attacks capable of inflicting damage.

Despite its laziness, Snorlax is a very affectionate Pokémon, and (when awake and focused) is very loyal to Ash. Its single-minded attitude towards food has subsided recently, shown in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' when it woke up purely because of Ash's presence. Typically, it would take a {{AP|Tauros}} stampede to wake it up in other situations at Oak's lab.

===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Snorlax first appeared in ''[[SP16|One Half Of A Poké Ball]]'' as a Pokémon shown on the scoreboard. It made its full appearance in ''[[SP34|An Awesome Showdown!!]]'' fighting {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}}'s {{p|Medicham}}.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Snorlax EToP.png|200px|thumb|Ash's Snorlax in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Snorlax appears in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'s chapter ''[[ET15|Attack of the Demon Stomach]]''. Like in the anime, it was eating all the fruits from the seven Grapefruit Islands. As the workers tried to save as many fruits as possible, Ash tried to battle Snorlax with {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, but with no results. When Ash tried to save a grapefruit from being eaten by Snorlax, he almost got eaten himself, only to be saved by Bulbasaur's {{m|Vine Whip}}. Once Snorlax had finished with one island, it made an enormous leap to another island. After Ash and {{an|Ruby}}'s many failed attempts to put Snorlax asleep, {{an|Jigglypuff}} appeared, and Ash made it {{m|sing}}, causing Snorlax to finally fall asleep. As Snorlax was sleeping, Ash was able to catch it with a Poké Ball.

Snorlax later made a brief appearance in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'', where Ash sent it out amongst his other Pokémon during his dance match with [[Rudy]]. However, all Snorlax did was sleep. Snorlax wasn't seen in the manga after this chapter.

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', Misty says, "That is if you can ever get ''him'' to wake up", but only in the dub. Another instance of gender confirmation in the dub was in ''[[EP271|Playing with Fire!]]'', when Professor Oak says "Snorlax's Hyper Beam was sent back to ''him'' at double the power."
* Snorlax is the only Pokémon Ash caught in the [[Orange Archipelago]] who he still possesses.
* Snorlax's Poké Ball is the only one of Ash's to break.

Viv:

I vaguely recall someone, possibly a old man/artist mentioning that the town lacks berries (enough to at least feed a Snorlax) because of a drought or seasonal rain shortage. Does anyone else remember this, and if so, would the drought be worth mentioning?{{unsigned|Yamitora1}}

The '''[[Pokémon]] franchise''' (Hindi: पोकेमोन ''Pokémon'', Urdu: پوکيمون ''Pokémon'') made its debut in the '''{{wp|Indian subcontinent}}''' in 2003, with the first broadcast of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', in both English as well as in Hindi dub on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}}. The respective channel hosted the show for eight years straight (2003-2011) and aired the initial eleven seasons. However, the {{pkmn|anime}} has been shifted to {{wp|Pogo (TV channel)|Pogo}} from March, 2011 in India.

==Pokémon anime==
The Pokémon anime is available in most south Asian countries including {{wp|Afghanistan}}, {{wp|Bangladesh}}, {{wp|Bhutan}}, {{wp|India}}, {{wp|Nepal}}, {{wp|Pakistan}} and {{wp|Sri Lanka}}.

===Original series===
[[File:Season1 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Indigo League]]
[[Pokémon: Indigo League]] premiered on {{wp|Cartoon Network (India)|Cartoon Network India}} on April 1, 2003 and concluded in the same year. Initially, the show began airing on the {{wp|Toonami}} block, available in both Hindi and English dub. During its peak, it became one of the highly rated show on the respective channel.

Following the first season of the anime, [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] made its Indian debut in late 2003. With ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', it concluded in mid-2004.
After almost a year of re-runs, Cartoon Network aired the new episodes of the anime with its third season, [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]].

Affiliated with Cartoon Network India, a separate Cartoon Network feed was launched for its {{wp|Cartoon Network (Pakistan)|Pakistani viewers}} in 2004, which is also available in Afghanistan and Bangladesh. Due to mutual affiliation, both channels were in sync in airing the anime. After a few months, Cartoon Network India began to air Pokémon in two additional dub languages, Tamil and Telugu along with the premiere of second last season of the {{series|Original}}, [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]].

In mid-2005, Cartoon Network wrapped up [[Pokémon: Master Quest]] thus concluding the Original series of the Pokémon anime.

===Advanced Generation series===
[[File:Season6 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Advanced]]
The first season of Pokémon {{series|Advanced Generation}} debuted in 2006, on both channels. The first episode, ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', premiered on May 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network India as well as on Cartoon Network Pakistan. At that time, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced]]'' was available in two different languages (English and Hindi) on Cartoon Network Pakistan and it was available in four different languages (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and English) on Cartoon Network India.

The first season of the Advanced Generation series ended in July 2006, resulting in repeats airing on both Cartoon Network channels. After four months, both Cartoon Network channels began to air new episodes of Pokémon and through this ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Challenge]]'' debuted on November 6, 2006 as well as trailers of the seventh season appearing in Indian theaters. The seventh season ended on January 4, 2007. After the end of seventh season, Cartoon Network began to air re-runs in a new one-hour block called ''Dastaan-e-Pokémon''.

====Dastaan-e-Pokémon====
Dastaan-e-Pokémon was a one-hour block, especially dedicated exclusively to Pokémon, on both of the sub-continent Cartoon Network feeds. Available in 3 different dubs, the block premiered on January 8, 2007 with the first episode of the anime, replacing ''Pokémon: Advanced Challenge''. The block featured all of the old episodes, from the first season up to the seventh. Almost a year later, it included a brand new season to its line-up, ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', and marked the first time when a season premiered with two back-to-back episodes on Cartoon Network in the Indian sub-continent. The block ended in the end of 2008, replaced by ''Pokémon: Battle Frontier''.

The final season of the ''Advanced Generation'' series. ''[[Pokémon: Battle Frontier]]'' debuted in the month of November in 2008. Initially, it only aired on Cartoon Network India, but began to air on Cartoon Network Pakistan two weeks after its Indian debut. After the completion of the ''Advanced Generation'' series, both Cartoon Network channels began the repeat telecast of old Pokémon episodes. These reruns lasted for ten months, and ended with the debut of ''[[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl]]''.

===Diamond & Pearl series===
[[File:Season10 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl]]
The first season of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} first aired in Pakistan on November 9, 2009 and in India on November 16, 2009. It was supposed to end on January 18, 2010 on Cartoon Network Pakistan but they ended the [[Pokémon: Diamond & Pearl|entire season]] within 35 days by skipping almost 23 episodes, from ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'' to ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'' due to unknown reasons. However, this problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season.

In early 2011, the anime switched to {{wp|Pogo}}, a sister channel of Cartoon Network in India, which also aired the ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]'' in April. Even though the anime switched to another channel in India, Cartoon Network Pakistan continued to air the show which led to the premiere of ''Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles'' on August 1. The finale of the twelfth season premiered on October 11, 2011 while the repeats of the same season took over the anime slot from the following day.
[[File:Pogo logo.png|thumb|Pogo]]

The last season of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and thirteenth season overall, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]]'' premiered on October 3, 2011 in India. During its airing, Pogo skipped two episodes instead of following the actual production order, from ''[[DP166|The Fleeing Tower Of Sunyshore!]]'' and ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', due to some unknown reasons. This problem was fixed in the re-runs of the season. The last episode of {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, that is ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]'' aired on October 25, 2011 in India. Meanwhile it premiered on Cartoon Network Pakistan on February 1, 2012 and concluded its run with the season finale on March 19, 2012.

===Best Wishes series===
[[File:Season 14 logo.png|thumb|Pokémon: Black and White]]
Pogo premiered the [[Pokémon: Black and White|fourteenth season]] of the anime on June 17, 2013 after almost a year and eight months gap. Also a new time slot was allotted, during 9:30 pm - 10:00 pm every Monday to Thursday. Many things were changed in the new season including the voice of the [[narrator]] and [[Delia Ketchum]]. Instead of the original production Pogo skipped the episodes ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' which was going to air on Wednesday, 31st July 2013 and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' which was going to air on Thursday, 22th August, due to some unknown reasons. The channel completed the run of the season with the season finale, ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', on Thursday, 5th September. The re-runs of the season began from 9th September, continuing at the same time slot.

Later on during the re-runs, these episodes of ''[[BW027|The Dragon Master's Path!]]'' and ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'' were broadcasted.

While on the other hand Cartoon Network Pakistan is yet to announce the premier of [[Pokémon: Black & White|season 14]].

Nature

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

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

Pokémon's natures are determined when it is generated by the game; when it is obtained as an Egg from the Pokémon Day Care, encountered in the wild, or given to the player by an NPC.

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


From {{v2|Emerald}} onwards, a {{p|Ditto}} or a female Pokémon that holds an {{evostone|Everstone}} has a 50% chance of passing its Nature to its offspring when at the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. Since {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, male Pokémon can also pass on their Nature with an Everstone. In Generation IV, parents could only pass Natures to their offspring if both Pokémon and the Trainer all came from a game in the same language. From {{2v2|Black 2|White 2}} onwards, any Pokémon holding an {{evostone|Everstone}} will pass its Nature to its offspring. In addition, from Emerald onwards, if a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Synchronize}} is leading the [[party]], there is a 50% chance of encountering a wild Pokémon with the same Nature. Synchronize affects any encounter, including stationary {{pkmn2|legendary|legends}}, but excluding Pokémon that are received from an NPC, such as the {{p|Eevee}} given out by [[Bill]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Pokémon received in a museum after being resurrected from [[Fossil]]s, or catching Pokémon during a Stroll in the [[Pokéwalker]] bundled with HeartGold and SoulSilver.

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

From {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and on, the stat increased or decreased by a Pokémon's Nature has a red or blue shadow respectively when viewing that Pokémon's summary screen.

In Generation V games, Trainers themselves have Natures. This Nature can be viewed and changed on the {{ga|Trainer Card}}. These Natures affect what the player will say on others' games at [[Unity Tower]].

In Generation VI games, a player's PSS profile can display a chosen nature.

==List of Natures==
The following table lists each Nature and its effect on a Pokémon. It may be rearranged by clicking the boxes next to each column's heading.

==Battle style==

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

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

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

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

== Trouble with [[Hidden Grotto]] page ==

{{u|Lady Ariel}} is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&diff=2049933&oldid=2049908 showing] herself [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&diff=2050166&oldid=2049989 determined] to undo my fixes for the roundy bits of the table in the [[Hidden Grotto#Items in each Hidden Grotto|Items in each Hidden Grotto]] section on the [[Hidden Grotto]] page. (I also forgot that other tables on that page need the same fixes, but I'd expect to encounter the same resistance if I try to fix those right now.) Without the changes I made, the roundy templates ([[Template:roundytl]], etc.) end up having ''no effect'' whatsoever on the table; you can take out those templates/styles and the table looks exactly the same. In order for them to work, the row cannot have a background color style, and the cells must each have it instead. If you look carefully at the tables in the [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&oldid=2050166#Items_in_each_Hidden_Grotto before] and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&oldid=2049989#Items_in_each_Hidden_Grotto after] revisions, you can see that the corners are actually round in the before version with my edits.

Can you impress on Lady Ariel that she has no call to undo those fixes of mine? ...Or am I somehow not as right as I think? [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:20, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
:Looks like you're right there. Your version is visually the correct one, and it's not like the extra ~250 bytes cause some issues. So I think you can add it back. If Ariel still disagrees, she should take part in the discussion.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:39, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
::The corners are identical in both versions (using Safari and Chrome). It is possible to have the background color set for the entire row and have rounded corners for individual cells. In addition I changed the color scheme of the tables. The actual edit I just did is [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hidden_Grotto&oldid=2050253 here], which makes the table borders less blocky (similar background and border colors in the old versions) and removes unnecessary coding. Also the way I re-coded those few cells is how a majority of tables are coded on Bulbapedia. Should I take pictures of the corners of the cells and provide them or should it be reverted to my recent edit? '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 19:26, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
:::Looking at your revision in Chromium, I now see why you've been undoing my changes. The problem is, in Firefox, my changes actually ''do'' change the way the tables display.
:::As I mentioned when I reverted it, you're entirely welcome to redo any of the changes that don't affect the roundy fixes (as above: each cell in a roundy row has to have its own background color, and the row cannot have a background color); I just didn't have the patience to sort out your new changes from the roundy stuff myself, or redo the roundy stuff. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:38, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
::::It is like to the colspan issue with tables, which is caused when a table has a number set for colspan that is greater than the number of columns some browsers display a gap and others don't. I will go ahead and change the tables then (leaving the roundy now that we know it is a browser issue). However, finding the countless number of tables that use the coding I used on the Hidden Grotto page won't be easy. '''[[User:Lady Ariel|Lady]] [[User talk:Lady Ariel|Ariel]]''' 19:55, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
:::::If you mean finding those "countless numbers of tables" to fix the roundy stuff, I don't expect to or even intend to try. I just fix whatever I happen to notice (and manage to care about that moment). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:10, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
::::::Having a "countless{{tt|*|everything on the wiki is countable}}" number of things to fix isn't supposed to be a deterrent from completing a task that need to be finished. It is ''more'' a reason to change something you see is wrong when you see it, because otherwise, it may not be found again for a long while.

== Page without category ==

Since a user has created a page about roller-shake tricks, will you either add a category or delete the page? [[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 02:05, 5 January 2014 (UTC)

== Shared species into mainspace ==

Can I get permission to move {{u|Relicant/List of Pokémon with shared species names‎|this sub page of an user}} into the mainspace or you do it for it? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 09:13, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
:It's not just up to me. It should be discussed [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/candidates-merging-moving-mainspacing-splitting-discussion-thread-114138/ here] first.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 12:42, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

==Silcoon and Cascoon==
Both of them having the same base stats, type, learnset and Ability all seem rather obvious with them being counterparts in the same evolutionary family. Metapod and Kakuna also have the same base stat total, learnset and Ability (and share at least ''one'' type, since Kakuna is dual Bug/Poison). Seems to me, the trivia should be combined, but with the shared species trivia being uniform throughout all the species' pages, I'm not sure if it should be merged, a separate trivia point, or a subsequent trivia point. What say you? [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 15:06, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
:It's not that obvious considering that ''Beautifly and Dustox'' don't have ''any'' of those similarities. The species name should stay separate since Silcoon and Cascoon have ''more'' in common with each other than with Metapod or Kakuna.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 17:02, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

== Absol ==

Umm...Do you also think that this does not fit [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Absol_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&diff=2076439&oldid=2076429 here] as it was undone by user Glik, I personally think that this trivia is ABSOLutely correct. {{unsigned|Viv}}
:Almost every Pokémon with Super Luck can do the same thing. It's correct, but not notable.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 15:46, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

The paired versions were released worldwide (except for select countries) on October 12, 2013 and are available for both retail sale and download.<ref>[http://www.famitsu.com/news/201301/08026993.html 『ポケットモンスターＸ・Ｙ』ニンテンドー3DSで2013年10月、世界同時発売【画像追加】] (Japanese)</ref> All copies of the game are playable in all seven of the languages that the Pokémon games are released in: Japanese, English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, and Korean.

==Plot==
{{incomplete|section}}

==Blurb==
The next evolution in Pokémon! 
New Pokémon! Explosive 3D battles! Exciting New Features!

==Features==
===3D compatible gameplay===
Unlike previous games in the main series, Pokémon X and Y feature a three dimensional style of gameplay, and 3D modeled characters and creatures are used, rather than sprites like has always been done in the main series. In addition, the games still feature 2D elements of gameplay. The battle system is aesthetically overhauled, featuring more lively reactions to the attacks, such as when a Pokémon is being hit.

===Renames===

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon X & Pokémon Y: Super Music Collection}}

The soundtrack contains most of the background music and effect music from the games. The music is composed by [[Shota Kageyama]] (Sound Director of Pokémon X & Y), [[Hitomi Satō]], [[Minako Adachi]], and [[Junichi Masuda]]. Pokémon X & Pokémon Y are the first main series titles since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} that [[Gō Ichinose]] did not work on as a composer, since he shifted to a side project of Game Freak's during the development of Pokémon X & Y.
