'''Alomomola''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ママンボウ''' ''Mamanbou'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Alomomola is a pink fish Pokémon with darker pink markings on its body and fins. Its main body is heart-shaped. It has large, hand-like dorsal and ventral fins, each divided into four sections and tipped with a paler pink. It seems to lack a proper tail fin. Its eyes are round with a mark that appears to be an eyelash extending up and back toward the rest of the body. Below the eyes are small dark pink marks.
It seems to be based on the Sunfish AKA Mola Mola

==Trivia==
* Due to their similar appearance, Alomomola was originally thought to be an evolution of {{p|Luvdisc}}.
* Alomomola is one of four Pokémon whose name is a {{wp|palindrome}}, the others being {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Girafarig}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Alomomola has the highest base HP stat of all Generation V Pokémon.
* All of its special abilities relate to healing its own or a teammates' status or HP.

===Origin===
Alomomola appears to be a combination of an {{wp|ocean sunfish}} and a heart. Due to its hand-like fins and heart shaped body, it may have been inspired by the {{wp|Claddagh ring}}. Its ability to heal other Pokémon may be inspired by the {{wp|doctor fish}}.

====Name origin====
Alomomola comes from ''Mola mola'', the scientific name for the {{wp|ocean sunfish}}, and "mom", referencing its status as the Caring Pokémon. In addition, the name may also come from the {{wp|Hawaiian language|Hawaiian}} ''aloha'', meaning "love" or "affection"; this is evidenced with Alomomola's heart-like shape and the ocean sunfish's preference to tropical areas, such as {{wp|Hawaii}}. The name ''Alomomola'' is also a {{wp|palindrome}}. Mamanbou could be derived from 翻車魚 ''manbō'', the Japanese word for the ocean sunfish, and "Mama".

'''Zoroark''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゾロアーク''' ''Zoroark'') is a {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Zorua}} starting at level 30.

Zoroark, along with its pre-evolution, {{p|Zorua}}, were the first [[Generation V]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, on February 10, 2010. Zoroark was first revealed as a silhouette before being revealed in full.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zoroark is a bipedal fox-like Pokémon, and mainly grayish-brown in coloration with crimson and black accents. It has a pointed snout and ears, the insides of which have red coloration. Zoroark also has some red rimming its eyes and mouth. Zoroark has a large, voluminous mane, primarily red in coloration but with black tips. The mane also somewhat resembles a ponytail, as a teal bangle down its length separates a mass of the mane from the lower portion. Zoroark has a black ruff on its upper body, pointed at the shoulders from which its arms extend. Its upper arms are thin, whereas its lower arms, while still slim, are bulkier. The arms have spiky extensions of fur at the elbows, and Zoroark's three claws, as well as the claws on its feet, are red in coloration.

====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Zoroark are capable of changing their physical appearance. They are capable of deluding many people simultaneously. However, unlike moves like {{m|Transform}}, this change doesn't effect type or attacks. They can make illusions of attacks, and these illusions are extremely realistic, to the point even cameras are fooled and one may believe they're being physically restrained. Zoroark, along with its {{p|Zorua|pre-evolution}}, are the [[Signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Night Daze}}.

===Behavior===
Zoroark live in groups, where unity is strong. They are extremely protective of those they care about and are willing to go to any lengths to keep them safe, including risking their own life, and also hold grudges on those who harm their loved ones. Zoroark has the ability to create illusions to confuse foes, and will even create illusory landscapes to hide its territory. Zoroark apparently will hide their Zorua young in their mane to protect them and carry them around.

===Habitat===
Zoroark appears to live in forests, and will create an illusory landscape to protect its den. One particular Zoroark resides in [[Lostlorn Forest]], using its illusions to betwitch both Trainers and Pokemon to protect its lair.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[File:Zoroark movie.png|thumb|250px|Zoroark in the movie]]
===Major appearances===
{{OBP|Zoroark|movie 13}} has a central role in the 13th Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. She is blackmailed by [[Grings Kodai]] to attack [[Crown City]] under the guises of [[Legendary beasts (movie 13)|Suicune, Entei, and Raikou]] in exchange of {{OBP|Zorua|movie 13}}'s safety, unaware of the fact that Zorua managed to escape. Zorua refers to Zoroark as "Meema".

==Trivia==
[[File:PSGEN5.png|thumb|Zoroark's silhouette on [[Pokémon Sunday]]]]
* Zoroark was first revealed by [[Junichi Masuda]] as a silhouette in the February 7, 2010 edition of [[Pokémon Sunday]]. Its full image was later revealed in the March 2010 issue of [[CoroCoro]], alongside its pre-evolution, {{p|Zorua}}.
* Due to its debut before [[Generation V]] in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', it can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Lucario}}, which debuted in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', prior to the release of [[Generation IV]]. Unlike Lucario, however, Zoroark was revealed at the same time as its pre-evolved form.
**Coincidentally, they both share the same names in Japanese and English versions of the game, are in the {{egg3|Ground}} and need [[:Category:Pokémon in the Medium Slow experience group|1,059,860 Exp.]] to reach level 100.
* Zoroark and Zorua are the only two non-legendary Pokémon to be event-exclusive, discounting Rotom's alternate forms in Platinum.
*Though evolving from Zorua at level 30, pre-release information from CoroCoro suggested it would evolve from Zorua by a completely different method different from known evolution methods. What this method might have been if it were true is unknown.

===Origin===
Zoroark is likely based on {{wp|kitsune}} of Japanese folklore, a shape-shifting mythical {{wp|fox}} that would trick unsuspecting travelers for fun. This is similar to {{p|Ninetales}}, another Pokémon based on kitsune. Its facial markings draw from {{wp|Kabuki}} and {{wp|Noh}} theatre makeup. It also resembles a {{wp|werewolf}}, due to the fact that it is an anthropomorphic {{wp|Canidae|canid}}, like most werewolves. Its large claws are also werewolf-like. Zoroark may also be based on {{wp|ninja}}s due to its special ability to use and fight with {{a|illusion}}s, which can be considered a genjutsu (illusion technique).

====Name origin====
Zoroark's name comes from ''zorro'', Spanish for "fox", and the English word "dark". Also may come from 悪, aku (evil).

1st Edition (TCG)

2011-05-03T19:13:55Z

VoltronMagma:

'''1st Edition''' cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] refer to those that are printed in the ''first print run'' of a particular set. 1st Edition cards are typically only available in booster packs for a limited period after the initial release of a particular Expansion, and are then replaced by an '''Unlimited Edition''' until the printing of that set ceases.

==Information==
[[Image:1stEdition.jpg|thumb|right|English (left) and Japanese (right) 1st Edition symbols]]
1st Edition cards are identified by the appearance of an "Edition 1" symbol on the card, often on the opposite side of the Expansion symbol (or next to it with early Japanese 1st Edition sets). This symbol is also present on 1st Edition booster packs and boxes.

The concept was used by [[Wizards of the Coast]] for the English and European releases from the beginning of the TCG's introduction to the West, starting with {{TCG|Base Set}}. Japanese cards did not have 1st Edition runs at this time. 1st Edition runs were produced for every set (except {{TCG|Base Set 2}}) up to and including {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}. A factor that likely led to Wizards scrapping the idea of 1st Edition cards was down to the pressure they faced to release sets on dates they had specified, which became particularly apparent during the Neo-era. Wizards even ceased pre-planned timed releases in late 2001. This led to 1st Edition runs being released alongside or even ''after'' their Unlimited release, rendering them obsolete. Another factor was likely due to the increased pressure on Wizards to release the e-card sets quickly before their licence expired in 2003. After [[Nintendo]] gained control of the TCG, 1st Edition runs were rejected altogether. Coincidentally however, around the time English 1st Edition cards were beginning to face scrutiny; Japanese 1st Edition runs began to be produced. Japanese 1st Edition runs began with the release of {{TCG|Pokémon VS}} and have continued since.

==Value==
In terms of value, 1st Edition cards are typically worth more than their Unlimited counterparts. However, as mentioned above, some of the last English 1st Edition sets were released either at the same time or after their Unlimited release, making them much less valuable compared to early TCG Expansion runs. The most valuable 1st Edition cards are regarded to be those from Base Set, as they were released before the Pokémon phenomenon got into full motion in the West. By the time the TCG became fully established, much of the 1st Edition had already sold out. With the first starter decks produced containing a foiled 1st Edition Machamp they laid down the style in which 1st Edition cards would appear.

[[Image:CharizardCardComparison.jpg|thumb|right|Comparison between Base Set 1st Edition, "Shadowless" and Unlimited runs.]]
Base Set is also unique in that Wizards were still experimenting with the layout and aesthetics of the cards after the 1st Edition run, which becomes apparent when cards from both 1st Edition and Unlimited are compared. The most obvious change is the weighting of text for HP values and attacks; they are much bolder in Unlimited. Another was the inclusion of a drop shadow under the character illustration window, supposedly added to give the card more depth. This later inclusion led to the naming of a transitional run, often called '''Shadowless''', in which a small print run of Base Set was produced without the 1st Edition symbol, as well as without the changes mentioned above that were added in the actual Unlimited run. The Shadowless cards are also highly sought after by collectors.

1st Edition runs from later Expansions also showed card inconsistencies from their intended appearance (see [[Error cards]]). Many error cards provide additional material for collectors, as they are usually corrected in subsequent Unlimited runs. Those that are not (usually text in attacks that do not match what was intended) are detailed in card errata issued by the gaming body.
