'''Berries''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|きのみ|Kinomi}}''' ''Berries'') are small, juicy, fleshy fruit. As in the real world, a large variety exists in the Pokémon world, with a large range of [[flavor]]s, names, and effects. First found in the [[Generation II]] games, many Berries have since become critical [[held item]]s in battle, where their various effects include HP and status ailment restoration, stat enhancement, and even damage negation.

==In Generation II==
[[File:GSC Berry Tree.png|frame|A Berry tree in Gold, Silver and Crystal]]
In their introductory generation, Berries were somewhat hard to obtain, with a very limited amount of trees scattered across the Kanto and Johto regions, each giving out only one Berry of one of the ten types each day. Berries regenerated at midnight every day, and could be picked at any time. Wild Pokémon often held Berries, while several could be won as prizes in certain competitions. [[Apricorn]]s are seen by many as similar to these Berries, in regards to their maturity time, availability, and other aspects.

===List of Berries===
{{main|Berries (Generation II)}}
The main Berry list from Generation II incorporated several functions of different healing items into the group of ten Berries. The names were simplistic, often describing only what the Berry itself did, with names like PRZCureBerry and PSNCureBerry standing out to many.

==In Generation III==
[[File:RSE Berry Tree.png|frame|{{ga|Brendan}} finding {{b|Oran}} and {{b|Pecha}} trees]]
[[File:Berries.png|thumb|left|Oran and Pecha Berries artwork]]
Much as other aspects of the Pokémon franchise received their most major updates in the transition from Generation II to Generation III, the Berry system was completely overhauled in [[Generation III]]. Each of the Berries introduced in Generation III was given a number, not unlike the [[Pokédex]] numbers given to Pokémon, with the first ten in this ordering system having identical or nearly-identical effects to the Berries of Generation II. Several more Berries, found at the end of the listing, are extremely rare, with effects similar to items like {{DL|Battle item|X Attack}}. A majority of Berries, however, find their only use in being made into [[Pokéblock]]s for {{pkmn|Contest}}s. In the same way most Pokémon resemble real-world animals, these Berries typically resemble real-world fruit (though not all fruit represented are Berries, botanically or in common parlance, in real life). Descriptive tags detail some of their traits, much like a Pokédex entry, which are often shared with their real-world counterparts.

While in Generation II, all Berries would regenerate at midnight, with only one fruit available from each tree each day, Generation III elaborated the system, giving each Berry a specific growth time, ranging between four hours and four days, and four stages of maturity which would be reached at the quarter, halfway, and three-quarters point of the full maturity time. Additionally, Berries no longer grew only in a specific plant that was a permanent fixture in the landscape, but in plants that disappeared when the Berries were picked from them, leaving behind a patch of [[soft soil]] where another Berry could be planted.

This [[soft soil]] only exists in [[Hoenn]], however, and is not present in the [[Kanto]] or [[Orre]] regions. Thus, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, Berries that the {{player}} obtains can be repeatedly grown in any patch of soft soil, but not in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. However, in FireRed and LeafGreen, many varieties of Berries can be repeatedly obtained in the [[Sevii Islands]]' [[Berry Forest]], where certain Berries regularly fall off trees and [[item#recurring items|regenerate themselves]].

Beginning in this generation, Berries are typically grouped in "families". This is an unofficial term for a group of five Berries that have the same growth period and similar flavoring distributions (such as Razz, which is mostly spicy but somewhat dry, and Bluk, which is mostly dry but somewhat sweet).

In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, Berries can be ground up into [[Berry Powder]], which can be exchanged for [[herbal medicine]] or [[vitamin]]s in [[Cerulean City]] or [[Slateport City]].

In Pokémon Emerald, a further advancement came to the Berry system, though only slightly. Six Berries, previously only usable to make Pokéblocks, were given an additional use. The {{b|Pomeg}}, {{b|Kelpsy}}, {{b|Qualot}}, {{b|Hondew}}, {{b|Grepa}}, and [[Tamato Berry|Tamato Berries]], formerly useless outside of the Contest circuit, now became known by fans as "EV Berries", as they now lowered the [[effort values]] gained by a Pokémon in battle while raising its friendship.

===List of Berries===
The Generation III Berry list has its core in the first ten Berries in order, with the ones coming last in sequence being among the most rare and sought after for their in-battle effect. A majority of these Berries are used solely for Pokéblock making, falling between those with other effects in the listing.

====e-Reader Berries====
The following Berries exist only in the games if the specific [[e-Reader]] card is swiped while the e-Reader is linked to a Ruby or Sapphire game cartridge. These Berries cannot be traded to other Generation III games, and if held by a Pokémon sent to Generation IV through [[Pal Park]], it will become an [[Enigma Berry]] when the Pokémon is recaught. As the e-Reader's lifespan was much shorter than expected by Nintendo, only two series of these special Berry e-cards were released, [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 1|the first]] both in Japan and internationally, and [[Pokémon Battle e: Series 2|the second]] only in Japan.

==In Generation IV==
[[File:DPPt Berry Tree.png|frame|{{ga|Dawn}} poses with her {{b|Razz}} and {{b|Bluk}} trees]]
Much like most other aspects of Generation III, Berries remained very much the same in Generation IV, with the main set of 43 carried over to the new games. The e-Reader Berries, perhaps due to their relative obscurity and exclusivity to Ruby and Sapphire (as the e-Reader was incompatible with the international releases of FireRed, LeafGreen, and Emerald), are not present in this generation, though {{gdis|Chilan Berry|III|one of them}} shares its name in all languages with one of the newly-introduced Berries.

A total of 21 new Berries were introduced in Generation IV, with 16 of them weakening {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}} moves used on the holder, one for each type, and one weakening any {{type|Normal}} move used on the holder. The remaining four are exclusive to [[Event Pokémon|events]], being held by event Pokémon given out in conjunction with the first three {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} {{pkmn|movie}}s. This brings the total amount of Berries to 64.

Several Berries' growth times were changed in Generation IV, most notably that of the [[Tamato Berry]], which formerly grew in the same amount of time as the others in its flavor group, now grows in the same amount of time as the rest of the EV Berries. Other Berries whose growth times changed remained with the same growth times as the rest of their flavor group. Many Berries also received edits to their tree styles, with different palettes used to give each tree a more unique appearance, rather than the similar appearance several, most notably {{b|Razz}} and {{b|Bluk}}, had.
[[File:HGSS Berry Tree.png|frame|Miniature {{b|Wacan}} and {{b|Yache}} trees grow in the [[Berry Planter]]]]
[[File:Berry Pot.png|thumb|left|120px|A Berry Pot with a {{b|Leppa}} tree growing inside.]]
In addition to the base growth time changes, special [[mulch]] was introduced that could be spread over a patch of soft soil to alter the growth rate of Berry plants, allowing them to be tended to more easily by those with a busy schedule. This mulch is available only at the [[Berry Master]]'s house in [[Sinnoh]] or at the flower shop in [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]].

Like how Berries were most used in Generation III to make Pokéblocks, in Generation IV Berries are used to make [[Poffin]], which achieves a similar [[condition]]-enhancing effect. Aside from this, those which have no in-battle effect can be traded in for [[Accessory|Accessories]] to be used to dress up Pokémon for {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s and pictures.

While in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[soft soil]] could be found in most places in [[Sinnoh]], much like in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, no soft soil exists in [[Johto]] or [[Kanto]], visited in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. The [[Berry Pots]], however, hold four portable patches of soft soil, allowing the player to carry their Berry trees with them anywhere.

===List of Berries===
The Generation IV Berry list is exactly the same as the Generation III list, but with all Berries falling after {{b|Belue}} moved back 17 places, to accommodate the type-resistant Berries. The other four event Berries are added to the end, after the [[Enigma Berry]]. All Berries now have some in-battle or out-of-battle use, but can also be used to make [[Poffin]]s.

==In Generation V==
[[File:DW Garden.png|thumb|300px|right|{{p|Mew}} visiting the {{pkmn|Dream World}} Garden, where a blooming {{b|Sitrus}} tree can be spotted.]]

Unlike most games since Ruby and Sapphire, when the mechanic of growing Berries was introduced, Black and White do not allow players to plant and grow Berries in [[Unova]]. Berries cannot be transferred from another region using the [[Poké Transfer]], but some wild Unova Pokémon (like {{p|Minccino}}) can be found holding them, and the player may obtain them as gifts from NPCs or Trainers (such as {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s), or purchase them from Florist shops at [[Join Avenue]] in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

Players may plant Berries in the [[Pokémon Dream World]] using the garden found in the area to the left of their Dream World home. Berries will take 50% longer to grow in the Dream World compared to their growth rates in Generation IV. Two rows are available from the beginning for players to plant their Berries in, with each row containing spaces for three Berries. As the player accumulates Dream Points {{p|Diglett}} will show up to expand the garden by plowing a new row (starting with a third row added at 900 points), up to a maximum of ten rows.

As with Generation IV, the Berry plots require watering or they will dry out; a player can water their own Berries as often as needed (any time the garden soil is not described as "very moist"), and when visiting another player's home may water their Berries as well (up to 20 times for each voyage to the Dream World). This process of growing Berries in concentrated patches makes growing and cultivating more efficient as a counterbalance to the slower growth rate. Berry plants never die and resprout in the Dream World—they remain in their fruit-bearing stage until the Berries are picked.

Berries may be sold to an [[item maniac]] on {{rt|5|Unova}} for various amounts, depending on the kind of Berry. This is also the sole use for Berries that do not serve a purpose in battles.
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}30000 include: {{b|Lansat}}, {{b|Starf}}, {{b|Enigma}}, {{b|Micle}}, {{b|Custap}}, {{b|Jaboca}}, and {{b|Rowap}}.
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}500 include: {{b|Razz}}, {{b|Bluk}}, {{b|Nanab}}, {{b|Wepear}}, {{b|Pinap}}, {{b|Cornn}}, {{b|Magost}}, {{b|Rabuta}}, {{b|Nomel}}, {{b|Spelon}}, {{b|Pamtre}}, {{b|Watmel}}, {{b|Durin}}, and {{b|Belue}}.
* Berries that can be sold for {{pdollar}}20 include any Berry not listed above.

Within the Dream World, combinations of Berries can be traded for [[Décor]].

If the [[bag]] is sorted, it uses the same order of Berries in Generation IV except that all Berries that do not serve a purpose are moved to the end of the list.

==Proper care of Berry plants==
After a Berry is planted in soft soil, a player can ignore it until it bears fruit, which will often yield more Berries than initially planted, as most Berry trees will bear more than one fruit at minimum. Truly effective care, however, requires that the player pay close attention to the growing times, watering it, and picking it when it bears fruit so as to reap the benefit.

===In Generation III===
In general, plants must be watered at least once per growth period in order to get the maximum yield. When a plant is fully-grown, the player has an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the plant to pick the Berry; otherwise the plant will return to its "sprouting" stage. This can be done up to 9 times (for a total of 10 plantings) before the plant is permanently lost.

====Formula====
[[File:Berry Math Formula.png|frame|right|Berry formula]]
The formula that the games use to decide how many fruits a specific Berry tree will bear is to the right of the page. This formula is calculated as follows:
*''a'' is the maximum number of Berries that can appear on the plant
*''b'' is the minimum number of Berries that can appear on the plant
*''c'' is a number randomly chosen between ''a'' and ''b'', inclusive
*''d'' is the number of growth stages during which the plant was watered

This formula is only used if the player has watered the plant ''at least once'' during its growth. If the plant is left to its own devices, it will ''always'' bear the minimum number of fruit.

====Stages====
After they are planted in soft soil, all Berries have four stages of growth, which they will assume after a quarter, half, and three quarters of their full growth time has passed since their planting. Specific messages are associated with specific growth times, and will be displayed if the player checks the plant.

===In Generation IV===
[[File:Dryberries.png|thumb|right|The Razz plant has very dry soil; it has not been watered since it sprouted. The Bluk plant has dry soil; it has not been watered since it was growing taller. The Nanab plant has just been watered.]]
The mechanics of Berry growth was expanded in Generation IV, where it is no longer sufficient to water a plant in each stage of growth for some Berries (conversely, for some Berries it is sufficient to water every two stages of growth). This is due to a new moisture mechanic introduced in these games.

Each plant has a moisture rating that ranges from 0 to 100. When a Berry is planted or watered, the moisture rating will be reset to 100. Every hour afterwards, the moisture rating is deducted by a value specific to the Berry that is planted; this value is increased by 50% with the {{DL|Mulch|Growth Mulch}} and decreased by 50% with the {{DL|Mulch|Damp Mulch}}. Should the moisture rating be 0 when this occurs, however, the maximum yield of the plant is decreased by 1 (to a minimum of 2). Players are given a visual indication of the moisture rating of the plant, as the soil will lighten once the moisture rating falls below 50, and will appear to be dry once the moisture rating is 0.

As with Generation III, players have an amount of time equal to the full growth time of the Berry before a fully-grown plant returns to its "sprouting stage". This time is raised by 50% if the player uses {{DL|Mulch|Stable Mulch}}. The use of {{DL|Mulch|Gooey Mulch}} will allow a total of 14 resproutings (for a total of 15 plantings) instead of 9 before the plant is permanently lost.

===In the PokéPark series===
[[File:PokePark Berry.png|thumb|A Berry from [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].]]
In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Berries are used as a form of currency to pay for Attractions or training. One can earn Berries by clearing Skill Games or by earning the Bonus in an Attraction. When found on the field, green Berries are worth 10, red Berries are worth 50, and golden Berries are worth 100. There also exists a Big Berry, which some Pokémon desire to eat. They will become friends with Pikachu if one is carried to them. One Pokémon that eats Big Berries is Munchlax.

Berries return as a form of currency in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], with minor changes. Attractions are now free, but now items can be bought and sold for Berries, and other Pokémon will give the player Berries upon befriending, often as a token for beating them in certain challenges. Pokémon can also be re-challenged after befriending them, and they will continue to give the player Berries provided the player continues to win. On the field, Green Berries are worth 1, Red Berries are worth 30, and Gold Berries are worth 100. Big Berries are replaced by [[Items in PokéPark 2#Stinkberry|Stinkberries]], which displease most Pokémon (including the one carrying it), but Munchlax loves them.

==In the TCG==
Berries were introduced in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} in the {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} expansion, released shortly after {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} themselves. All of them are Pokémon Tools, a special subclass of {{TCG|Trainer card}} that may be attached to a Pokémon in play, much in the same way that items can be held by Pokémon in the games. Most of the TCG Berries are in fact Berries from the games, however, several of them are unique to the TCG.

There are also Basic Pokémon cards that have Berries as held items, which were introduced in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion. These held items work in the same fashion as Poké-Bodies, in that the effect the item provides is active whenever the Pokémon is in play.

==In the anime==
[[File:EP088.png|thumb|A pink Rhyhorn eating a Pinkan Berry]]
In the anime, while several ordinary fruits from the real world have and continue to be featured, Berries have appeared on occasion as well, suggesting that the Berries are not the only fruit in the Pokémon world. Additionally, the Berries that have made an appearance in the games are not the only Berries featured. [[Pinkan Berry|Pinkan Berries]] appeared, central to the plot of ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]'', where they had the amazing property of changing a Pokémon's coloration completely to pink, and due to the rarity of strangely-colored Pokémon, only grew on an isolated island in the [[Orange Archipelago]] that was kept secret to prevent poachers from stealing Pokémon who lived there. A {{p|Snover}} was also shown to grow Berries on its body in ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', though they had no strange effects when consumed by humans or Pokémon. [[Rinka Berry|Rinka Berries]] were central to the plot in the [[Pikachu shorts|Pikachu short]] [[PK23]]. These Berries were said to clear one's throat and restore the consumer's voice.

The '''Nintendo 3DS''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドー３ＤＳ''' ''Nintendo 3DS'') is [[Nintendo]]'s handheld game console for the upcoming {{wp|history of video game consoles (eighth generation)|eighth generation}}.

Announced in a March 23, 2010 press release<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2010/100323e.pdf Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine] (retrieved March 26, 2010)</ref>, the Nintendo 3DS is fully backwards-compatible with all [[Nintendo DS]] games. Its revolutionary feature, however, is that it is able to display 3D graphics that appear to move in space depending on the direction that the system is facing, using a technique called {{wp|parallax barrier}}.

More details on the 3DS were [[n:E3 conference reveals wealth of information|revealed at E3 in 2010]], with graphics reminiscent of a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game being shown. The 3DS is fully compatible with Nintendo DS games, as well as its own games, while the 3D depth-sensing features are able to be adjusted at-will using a slider on the right side of the top screen. The top screen is slightly wider than the bottom, with a 5:3 aspect ratio, while the system itself features a control stick dubbed the "Circle Pad", in addition to the normal D-pad featured on all prior handhelds. The 3DS is also fully compatible with DSi-only features, like the ones in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Technical specifications==
* Size: 5.3 inches wide, 2.9 inches long, 0.8 inches tall.
* Weight: 8 ounces
* Top screen: 3.53-inch widescreen LCD, 3D capability, 800x240 pixel resolution (400 pixels are allocated for each eye to enable 3D viewing)
* Bottom screen: 3.02-inch LCD, touch screen, 320x240 pixel resolution
* Cameras: One inner camera, two outer cameras, both at 640x480 pixel resolution (0.3 MP)
* Nintendo 3DS game card: 2GB Max. at launch.
* Wireless communication: Can communicate in the 2.4 GHz band. Multiple Nintendo 3DS systems can connect via a local wireless connection to let users communicate or enjoy competitive game play. Systems also can connect to LAN access points to access the Internet and allow people to enjoy games with others. Will support IEEE 802.11 with enhanced security (WPA/WPA2). Nintendo 3DS hardware is designed so that even when not in use, it can automatically exchange data with other Nintendo 3DS systems or receive data via the Internet while in sleep mode.
* Game controls: Touch screen, embedded microphone, A/B/X/Y face buttons, + Control Pad, L/R buttons, Start and Select buttons, "Circle Pad" that allows 360-degree analog input, one inner camera, two outer cameras, motion sensor and a gyro sensor.

User talk:Ataro/Archive 2

WenGobou: /* Trivial removal */

*[[User talk:Ataro/Archive|Archive 1]]

== Reminder ==

Hi Ataro. Just a reminder that you don't have to stoop to other people's levels if they are insulting you. Don't take the bait, don't reply and report them to a staff member. Even if they seem like they're being a moron, it's not always best to call them out on it... because their moronity continues. *insert Code of Conduct warning here* :D —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:46, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
:Yes ma'am! [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 07:49, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
::If we're being super-formal, then that would be sir ;) —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:54, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

'''Hi, Ataro. You said that there's no chance that Dent's Ishizumai has Broken Armor. Did you watch the episode where Dent captured it? It did use it's ability this ability.

Greets Mimey.

== Talk page comment deletion ==

If you're going to revert someone for this, please warn them with <nowiki>{{subst:TPCD}}</nowiki> in the same edit. Thanks. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:50, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

== help. ==

HELP!!!! I used an AR code to walk OUT of Amity Square WITH a pokemon (shroomish) traveling with me in Diamond. I accidentally saved. Does ANYONE have an AR code to remove a partner walking with you?!?! I cant fly or surf! And I have a hard time catching anything! I cant use my fishin rod either! And Dont go on about how cheating is wrong. I was trying to research DPBox and Invisible Shiny Bulbasaur. I did, however, come to one conclusion: Its the SAME POKEMON. When it faints, the entire thing is seen. So... can you help?????

==Small Question==
Hey Ataro. Small question. So, when Raikou fires the electric attack, Falkner says its Spark, but when he fires it again and it collides with Entei's Fire Blast, he says it's Thunder. Can you tell me which one it is? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:00, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:oh crap, I made a mistake, the attacks are so similar I mistook one for the other...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:06, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
::Well, he says at first it's spark, so I posted it as Spark. But then he says it's Thunder, so now I'm confused. Any idea? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:10, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:::Ok, here's the deal I just read the RAW and it is in fact Spark (they even use the quotes for it) and the second move is Thunder [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:14, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
::::So it's two different attacks then...? Okay then, I'll probably move everything from Spark to Thunder (and add your picture as well) since the Spark attack wasn't seen. Sound good? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 21:18, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
:::::nah, I changed the Thunder image to it's correct move...I'll probably use an image from the Emerald saga for thunder instead. Keep the pic [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 21:20, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

== Warning users ==

Next time, make sure to leave a message on their talk page after the first offense, rather than hoping they're watching the RC and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Hareta&curid=18007&diff=1262572&oldid=1262570&rcid=1351392 talking to them through edit summaries]. New users usually don't know the ways of the wiki and may think that their edit is just randomly disappearing (or something), so if they're in the wrong you've got to let them know. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:49, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

== Signing ==

If you are going to jump at users who have been here less than an hour, please at least do things properly yourself. Putting your signature on a new line screws up the indents and is generally frowned upon. Also, please try to be more polite and kind with new users. They may not have even had a chance to read the policy pages yet, and your comments come off as rude and demanding - not the thing that is likely to make new users think highly of Bulbapedia. In short, take a deep breath, calm down and play nice, especially with new users. Thanks. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:40, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
:Additionally, if the re-signing is within the next few minutes ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Pok%C3%A9mon_Global_Link&diff=prev&oldid=1273255 or even on the same minute... :/]), it's not a big deal. It's when they add it much later, and when people can get confused, that it becomes an issue. Yes, there are rules for a reason. But they need to be applied independently to each situation. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:23, 2 December 2010 (UTC)

== Passive aggressive behavior ==

You have been told about this before, but please drop the attitude/anger and stop attacking every single user that doesn't get things right the first time. Your most recent edit summary was uncalled for and just really unnecessary. You could have easily placed the image elsewhere. We don't want to scare away potential editors if they see people like you losing their cool over small edits. Keep that in mind.

== info on image you gave me ==

I see your point about {{p|Daikenki}} being able to stand on it's hind legs. I stand corrected. Do you think you could give me the information about that photo? (If you don't know what I'm talking about then look at the bottom of my talk page.) You said it is official. It would be nice to know how it is official. Things like where that image came from.--[[User:Alex726|'''Alex''''''726''']][[User talk:Alex726|'''(talk)''']] 22:42, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

==Coco?==
So, I was reading [[PS211]], and it shows a flashback with Norman and Ruby's mom talking over his contest battles. In the flashback, it goes to a panel showing a young Ruby in his room, sleeping with a Skitty (Coco), and ''just'' a Skitty. Does that mean that Coco would be Ruby's starter Pokemon? [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:19, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
:Nah..In a later chapter an even younger Ruby is seen sending out Nana, Coco, and Ruru at one point. In fact I remember something about all three being given to him by his father, technically all of them are his starters [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 20:35, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
::Oh, okay then. ^^ I just wasn't sure, and I just don't like the fact that he has three starters XD. Thanks for answering my question. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 20:40, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

==Exbo's Page==

Firstly, pardon my rudeness, but since when was it ever a rule that jpg images couldn't be uploaded into the database? It's a perfectly fine (not to mention ''permitted'') image format, so there's no reason to undo, much less '''delete''' the image unless you want to hear people seriously bicker.

Then, check how Exbo fires a large stream of fire from the flame lit on his shoulder when Aibo supports it with Gold's cue, and then look when he performs Blast burn later to destroy the Kyogre monster. Same stance, same effect, and even Guile states that the attack's firepower was like nothing he'd seen. It's a clearly cognate case with his future usages of the technique, including in the HGSS arc. An attack doesn't have to be flat-out shouted for us to know what it is (that's like saying that because Red didn't physically order a Solarbeam against Zapmolcuno, it was just a standard attack >_>).

So, yeah. Any real reasoning behind that last undoing? [[User:Kaboomustdie| Kaboomustdie]] 01:53, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
:It's not that jpgs can't be uploaded, it's that pngs are the preferred ones, and we already had a png image on the page. And about Exbo's attack, well think about it for a sec, Gold had been training during that time, plus Aibo powered it up with the pole cue. So it was more of a powered up flamethrower, besides, they wouldn't reveal the attack early would they? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:01, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

The only time that we saw two attacks look the same (besides Zuzu and Silver's Feraligatr, who just fire their water attacks from their mouths) was Green's "Blasty" firing off its Hydro cannon from the shoulder cannons only in the Emerald chapter due to an oversight. I ''highly'' doubt that Kusaka would have Exbo's Blast burn and Flamethrower look exactly the same if he planned to introduce them both in the exact same chapter (remember, Exbo never launched a Flamethrower in the GSC chapter), not to mention that we have Gold and Silver fire off their ultimate attacks in the first damn round in the HGSS arc anyway. Plus, plenty of higher-grade attacks debut before their weaker counterparts. For example, Saur used Solarbeam against the Machoke before he used Razor leaf (ane even Leech seed), Blasty was seen using Hydro pump long before it used Water gun or Bubble, and in volume 8, Totodile used Slash before it used basic attacks like Scratch, Zuzu used Earthquake before it used Mud shot, etc.

Then, back to the point about few attacks looking the same, even Exbo's Flame Wheel and Ember attacks looked distinctly different (despite their powers not differing that much), so why would either Kusaka or Yamamoto make two '''radically''' different attacks look the same unless they wanted to add in a crapload of confusion? o_0

So, yeah. Something to think about... [[User:Kaboomustdie| Kaboomustdie]] 02:48, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Alright, I've yet to see you provide any convincing arguments from you (let alone one that validates Kusaka being on high enough to have two attacks ''looking exactly the same'' debut within 4 rounds of each other), and I see no reason you should have any reason to argue when I go so kind as to upload the image in your "right" format, so I'll take it as a cue to resume editing in peace (considering you haven't added stuff here in days). Feel free to prove me wrong if you can here, but if you undo other people's contributions on the basis of your sole, undersupported opinion we might have some problems. [[User:Kaboomustdie| Kaboomustdie]] 12:17, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

== Not the point?! ==

What do you mean not the point? that section was about Raticate dying, and I posted things that were clearly pertinent to that section in an effort to prove why it was SPECULATION. Clearly you're wrong. What's worse is if I undo your little undo, I'll get banned for starting an edit war while that speculation stays there and you look like you were doing nothing wrong. Having the idea of raticate dying is like having the Cubone-Kangaskhan theory on the related pages. I'm beginning to think I'm being unjustly targeted on this wiki for all of my edits. [[User:In A Manica|In A Manica]] 21:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:For one thing the discussion was more than 6 months old and your not allowed to add to a discussion more than 6 months old. Secondly your launguage was very inapropiate.

Because that's where that idea started (on 4chan I believe), and I don't know how to do any monkey tricks with the link.

Hey Ataro, me again. On chapter 264, I have a question. In the flashback, Rayquaza's forehead starts to glow and it fires multiple orbs of energy from it at Norman and Professor Birch.

::Oh, okay then. I'll add it as Speed Boost once I get out of school. Also, I didn't add Walo for anything other than surf.

:::Also, before I do that, can I ask you something? (I hope you don't mind me bombarding you with all these questions! I feel so bad doing it...) In [[PS286]], the Deoxys clones fire this beam-like attack from their eyes at Green, but she uses her Ditto to block. Is this an attack?

I love how you have uploaded images of different Pokémon using different moves. Now as you've finished, I'd like to make following requests:
* Both pics in {{m|Thunderbolt}}'s template are grainy. Could you upload better ones?
** It would be nice if you uploaded a picture of [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] using the move, so I could add a pic to the move article's move template.
* Could you upload a pic of {{Adv|Red}}'s [[Poli]] using {{m|Focus Punch}}? 
Thank you already in beforehand. ^^ --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 13:48, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

== Trainer's Pokémon templates ==

Yes, I am aware that {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}'s names were exchanged between the Japanese and English releases of the manga however, the Trainer's Pokémon templates never have a "dark colour" border. For example, {{template|Brock's Pokémon}} doesn't use {{template|Rock color dark}} and {{template|Ash's Pokémon}} doesn't use [[Template:Red color|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Ash color dark<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]], therefore, {{template|Green's Pokémon}} shouldn't use [[Template:Blue color|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Green (Adventures) color dark<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]] and {{template|Blue's Pokémon}} shouldn't use [[Template:Green color|<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Blue (Adventures) color dark<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>]].--[[User:MisterE13|Mister]][[User talk:MisterE13|'''E''']][[Special:Contributions/MisterE13|13]] 18:19, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== English Names ==

So what if on March 6th I go on and edit the names. March 6th is the release date (but of course you know that) then will it be OK? Also, I have no edits to make here since its really good already and I want to edit my Userpage, what do you suggest I do? [[User:NitroBlaster96|NitroBlaster96]] 04:47, 22 February 2011 (UTC)

you misunderstood me. Ash ''does'' have an Oshawott, but he failed to catch it o bw002, cause it was Juniper's, but she ''gave'' Ash Oshawott, so he didn't catch it. Lucariade 14:07, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== Geechisu ==
Why can't we change it? We've taken the "logical" romanization for other characters such as Arti and Yacon. This time we actually know the name origin.

==Manga issue==
I think for the Viz second edition that Red's Snorlax was given the name Lax since it said Lax when I checked the description of Red's team at the back of Volume 3 yesterday to help with that trivia piece for Diamond's page. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 23:54, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:Not sure about that but in volume 9 (where his Pokemon are first nicknamed) he is called Snor..that's the official one [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:57, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
::But anyway it could be a change in nicknames that was done in between them. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 23:58, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
:::Probably a mistake. In the English version Red's Pokemon (except for Pika) weren't even referred to by any nickname until volume 9 [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:01, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
::::Just confirmed it is in volume 2 as well in the same spot as volume 3, so it could be more of a change than a mistake. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 00:04, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
:::::Do you have a picture or something? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:07, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
::::::No, but I can describe that at the end when they show the levels for Red's team in Volume 2 as I am holding it says this line in the description next to the picture ''Nickname: "Lax"''. In Volume 3 they don't have that but they still spell it out as Lax in the description. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 00:11, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Last note on this subject. Volume 1 may have descriptions of Red's original three Pokémon, there are no nicknames listed. Only Viz's second editions of Volumes 2 and 3 do, so in regards to Snorlax's nickname it is either a mistake either way, or Viz decided to change it. That's all I am going to say to this though I think it will make a good trivia piece somewhere. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 05:05, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== [[Souryuu Gym]] ==

I asked a question a while ago, but no one answered. Can you help? {{unsigned|Pokabu82}}

== Manga images ==

Could you upload a picture for the new and empty manga move template: {{m|Superpower}}. Also, while you're up to uploading that image of Regirock using the move, could you also upload pictures of Brandon's Registeel using {{m|Toxic}} and Brandon's Regice using {{m|Blizzard}} in the manga, so we can fill the templates in [[Brandon's Regis]]' manga move templates? In addition, the image of Red's [[Poli]] using {{m|Water Gun}} is grainy. I guess we could replace it with a pic of Poli using the move as a Poliwrath, that way we would have Poli's move template completely filled with pictures of Poli using every move it has ever used. Hope you can do it, thank you. :-) --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] 14:57, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== Trivial removal ==

Why did you remove the trivia I just added to Wes and Micheal's pages ? Is it because it was wrong ? I was just about to edit them because I realised it wasn't true, and I saw that they (the pieces of trivia, that is) had been removed altogether. I don't wan't to be accused of starting an edit war, so, could you, um... approve ? Here's what I was going to change the trivia to:

Wes, along with Pokémon [[XD: Gale of Darkness]] protagonist [[Micheal]], is the only main series player character not to have an opposite gender counterpart since [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].
Micheal, along with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] protagonist [[Wes]], is the only main series player character not to have an opposite gender counterpart since [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]].

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンＸＤ {{tt|闇|やみ}}の{{tt|旋風|かぜ}}ダーク・ルギア''' ''Pokémon XD: Whirlwind of Darkness, Dark Lugia'') is [[Genius Sonority]]'s second Pokémon game for the [[Nintendo GameCube]] as well as the second RPG in the Pokémon series for a home console. The game features a [[Battle Mode]] akin to that of its [[Pokémon Colosseum|predecessor]], as well as a Story Mode featuring a brand new plot set in the [[Orre]] region.

==Gameplay==
Much like Colosseum, Pokémon XD features similar gameplay to the [[main series]] of Pokémon games. Mechanics in [[Pokémon battles]] are directly adapted, and the game, similarly to its prequel, features mostly [[double battles]] during the Story Mode.

==Story==
===Setting===
The game once again takes place in the [[Orre]] region, about five years after the events of {{pkmn|Colosseum}}. In their second attempt at world domination, the criminal organization [[Cipher]] has created a [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed ''XD001'', claimed to be immune to purification. A young trainer, [[Michael]], aims to defeat Cipher and prevent their plans.
===Plot===
{{spoiler}}
It starts with the S.S Libra cruising, when suddenly some helicopters appear with Shadow Lugia, which picks up the ship as the sailors that fell out watch in awe. Then, Michael finds
himself using Salamence to battle Metagross. No matter what the outcome is, the player will then find himself in the Pokémon HQ lab, where the trainer will tell him to consider raising Pokémon other than Eevee. Michael then speaks with Professor Krane and Lily. Prof. Krane comments Michael's skills, with Lily worrying that Michael will become spoiled. Prof. Krane tells her not to worry, saying both Michael and his sister Jovi are both wonderful kids, reminding Lily that she hasn't seen Jovi since lunch.

Lily asks Michael to look for her. Michael looks around, finding a P★DA that Professor Krane left him in his room and gets an E-mail telling him to ask Adon, who was playing hide-and-seek with her. Adon tells him to look at Dr.Kaminko's house. Michael then sees a report about the missing cargo ship that was carrying loads of Pokémon, the S.S. Libra. Michael goes to Kaminko's house, where he is attacked by Chobin, who mistakes him for a burglar and sends out his Pokémon. After fending him off, Jovi shows up and asks what Michael is doing and asks if he is lost. Jovi then acts all high and mighty saying she knows that he is lost. Michael goes inside, and Chobin shoes a video of himself bragging about Kaminko's inventions that are harmful to mankind. Michael tells Jovi that It's time to go home, so Jovi calls back her Minun, Mimi, and follows Michael back to the lab. Jovi continues saying Michael was lost when Lily scolds her.

Jovi goes to find Adon, as Michael talks to Prof. Krane and obtains the snag machine. Aidan adds a Shadow Monitor to the P★DA, and Professor Krane goes to ready the battle sim. However, some men come in and take Professor Krane away. Michael goes outside and finds everyone knocked out. Michael then battles the leader, Naps, who is using a shadow Teddiursa, which Michael snags. Prof. Krane is then dragged away by the kid nappers, as Michael watches in despair. Jovi is crying, and everyone looks sad, Aidan says Prof. Krane is crucial to the Purification Chamber project, and that there is nothing they can do. Lily then says they can complete it themselves, though Aidan says it is hopeless. Lily says they are on the verge of finishing and walks off, and Michael follows.

==Characters==
''For complete listing see the [[:Category:XD characters|XD characters]] category.''

The [[player character|hero]] of Pokémon XD is a young boy named [[Michael]], trainer of an Eevee. Michael lives with his mother, [[Lily (XD)|Lily]], and his younger sister [[Jovi]]. [[Professor Krane]], a scientist researching Pokémon purification and a family friend, often assists him. A handful of other characters also appear, some returning from {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and some new.

The crime organization [[Cipher]] returns in the game with renewed plans. The syndicate includes five new admins: [[Lovrina]], [[Snattle]], [[Gorigan]], [[Ardos]] and [[Eldes]] hired by the team's [[Greevil|boss]]. [[Miror B.]] also appears in the game with new scopes in mind.

==Locations==
''For complete listing see the [[:Category:XD locations|XD locations]] category.''

The game's setting is in the [[Orre]] region, altered after the five years that have passed. More [[wild]] Pokémon have started appearing, but Orre's land is still much less inhabited than other [[regions]]'. Pokémon XD features locations not present in Colosseum, as well as landmarks such as [[Mt. Battle]] returning.

===Generation IV===
*{{p|Munchlax}}
*{{p|Bonsly}}

These Pokémon are not catchable, but they have special roles in the game. The Herbalist's Munchlax will often appear at a Poké Spot and make the hero receive a false alarm that a wild Pokémon has appeared to eat his Poké Snacks. When the hero finds Munchlax, the Herbalist will appear to take it back to her store, and she will offer the hero ten more Poké Snacks for his trouble.

A girl's Bonsly can be found inside the [[S.S. Libra]] after it appears in the desert. This Bonsly is apparently a Pokémon that Cipher forgot to take to [[Cipher Key Lair]]. After saving Bonsly and taking it to the girl in [[Pyrite Town]], she'll allow the hero to play a special [[Battle Bingo#Bonsly_Card|bingo card]] at [[Realgam Tower]], which features Bonsly as a usable Pokémon.

==Connectivity==
Players can transfer snagged Pokémon from Pokémon XD to any of the portable [[Generation III]] games: [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]] and {{v|Emerald}}. This transference functions identically to the [[trade|trading]] function in the [[main series]] games, but can only happen in [[Phenac City]].
*In order to do the above, one needs to have completed the sidequest to unlock trading with Hoenn-based games in FireRed and LeafGreen.
*Through exploitation of differences in linkup requirements, players can send Pokémon from XD to one of the handheld Hoenn games without beating the Elite Four, trading first to a game that has done so, trading from that to {{g|Colosseum}}, and trading from Colosseum to the Hoenn game.

==Trivia==
* The "XD" in the title stands for 'e'''X'''tra '''D'''imension'. However, because of its title, Pokémon XD (which is an {{wp|Emoticon}}) is often poked fun at by fans, due to "XD" being seen as a "cracking up" face.
* Though {{p|Lugia}} is the main focus of the game, it has the second highest level of all snaggable [[Shadow Pokémon]] in this game (tied with {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Salamence}}). The Shadow Pokémon of the highest level in this game is a {{p|Dragonite}}.
* Pokémon XD is only the second true sequel Pokémon game, after the [[Generation II]] games, which are a sequel to [[Generation I]].
** Before the release of Pokémon XD, Reggie Fils-Aime stated that Pokémon XD would not be a sequel to {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, but rather a whole new game, having a similar style to {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}.
** Trainers that were in Colosseum who also appear in this game tend to still have the same Pokémon, but their levels and even stages of evolution are sometimes different. This could mean that this game might not be a sequel, but possibly a prequel.
*** This probably isn't the case, however, as the story for Pokémon XD takes place five years after Pokémon Colosseum.
* If one trades a Pokémon from {{pkmn|Colosseum}} to a [[Generation III|GBA game]] and then to this game, it will say the Pokémon was met in Distant Land, even though it was caught in the same land, Orre.
* If a player pre-ordered this game, they could receive a limited edition [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] skin featuring [[Shadow Lugia]] or, {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and [[Michael]].
* In the game, the player can capture Lugia, then Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres.
** Coincidentally, in ''[[M02|The Power of One]],'' [[Lawrence III|the antagonist]] of the movie captures Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to capture Lugia.
*The game's name may be a reference to Lugia's original name before the release of Gold and Silver, Pokémon X.
*Unlike most games, traveling by foot is not required as transportation to get to new lands. Michael uses a {{wp|Scooter (motorcycle)|scooter}} instead.
*Like in Pokémon Colosseum, Shadow Pokémon are banned from VS mode. Despite this, there are no restrictions on non-Shadow Pokémon that know [[Shadow move]]s (given to them by a cheating device). The same lack of restrictions also apply to {{p|Bonsly}}. It is unknown why this occurs.
* Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, along with its sequel [[Pokémon Colosseum]], is the only main series Pokémon games since [[Pokémon Crystal Version| Pokémon Crystal]] not to give the player the choice of playing as either a boy or a girl.

{{StrategyWiki}}

'''Pokémon Colosseum''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンコロシアム''' ''Pokémon Colosseum'') was released on November 21, 2003 in Japan, March 22, 2004 in North America and May 14, 2004 in Europe on the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The game followed the basic stadium style battling found in the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Pokémon Stadium games]] but an extra was included in the form of an RPG which allowed trainers to catch [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] Pokémon in the desolate region of [[Orre]].

In the game, the [[player character]] [[Wes]] was part of an organization called [[Team Snagem]] and they obtained a machine which allowed someone to snag another's Pokémon as if it were wild. Another team, [[Cipher]], was responsible for corrupting the hearts of Pokémon and giving them to Trainers. With the help of a young girl named [[Rui]], [[Wes]] was able to find the Pokémon whose hearts were sealed and surrounded by a purple aura and use the [[Snag Machine]] to rescue Shadow Pokémon and restore them to normal.

In Phenac City, the player is given a choice between Bayleef, Quilava, or Croconaw. The other two will be available later in the game, after the credits roll. The Pokémon whose type is weak to the chosen Pokémon's type will be at the [[Snagem Hideout]] and the Pokémon whose type weakens the chosen Pokémon's type will be at the [[Shadow Pokémon Lab]].

===Prizes===
*{{p|Plusle}} is given to Wes by [[Duking]] after Wes saves it from [[Cipher]]. He asks Wes to protect it from harm and to make it stronger.

====Ho-Oh====
Ho-Oh is obtainable in Pokémon Colosseum when all of the 48 [[Shadow Pokémon]] have been snagged and purified. Players would then have to use a team of Pokémon from the RPG to clear Mt. Battle in Battle Mode from zones one to 100.

==Purification techniques==
{{main|Purification}}
Pokémon in the game can be purified in a variety of ways.

* Walking around with [[Shadow Pokémon]] in the party.
* Rubbing [[Cologne|scents]] on the Pokémon (these can be bought at [[Agate Village]]).
* Battling with them and calling out when the Pokémon reaches its hyper mode.
* Placing a Shadow Pokémon in the [[Pokémon daycare]] in Agate Village.

Once the [[Heart Gauge]] reaches the point where it says "The Pokémon's heart is about to open! Undo the final lock!", trainers would go to the Agate Village shrine and use its power to restore the Pokémon's heart and remove the move known as {{m|Shadow Rush}}. Once the Pokémon has been purified, it will gain all experience it earned during the time it was a Shadow Pokémon, and acquire a special [[Ribbon]] exclusive to Purified Pokémon.

After players have beaten the game, Pokémon can be traded to all [[Generation III]] games provided that their hearts are open (and certain objectives have been completed in {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if they are being traded to). Note that trading Pokémon to Ruby and Sapphire will not unlock the [[National Pokédex]].

==Colosseums==
The other half of the game consists of several Colosseum venues that trainers could send Pokémon from the RPG or the [[Game Boy Advance]] games to battle.

* [[Phenac Stadium]]
* [[Pyrite Colosseum]]
* [[Under Colosseum]]
* [[Orre Colosseum]] (Level 50 and Level 100)
* [[Tower Colosseum]]

==Rewards==
While competing in the [[Mt. Battle]] 100 Trainer challenge in either the RPG or the Colosseum section of the game, players can receive [[Poké Coupon]]s which can be used to buy [[item]]s. Additionally, players have the option of storing Poké Coupons on a {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby or Sapphire|s}} game pack for later use. Here is the list of what players can receive after collecting a set amount of Poké Coupons.

==Glitches==
===Infinite ball glitch===
{{main|List of minor glitches#Infinite ball glitch}}
A glitch which involves switching the position of any [[Poké Ball]] on the same turn that it is selected to be used, so that the quantity does not decrease.

===Purification glitch===
{{main|List of minor glitches#Purification glitch|Purification glitch}}
In Agate Village, the cliffs directly to the left and right of the hill at the entrance are glitched. If the player walks downward while on these small cliffs, there are two specific points where the player will hit the edge and continue to walk, and the screen will start to shake. This will cause all Shadow Pokémon in the player's party to be purified at the same rate as if the player is walking around.

==Compatibility==
Pokémon Colosseum is compatible with all five of the [[main series]] Pokémon games on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. Items and Pokémon can be traded between them in the same manner that they can be traded between each other, however, the player must have defeated [[Evice]] in the main story mode in order to unlock it, have a GameCube-Game Boy Advance cable, and a Game Boy Advance or GBA SP. All are required to do so.

==Trivia==
[[File:Colo Red.png|thumb|right|Red's model in Colosseum]]
* Despite being on the cover, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are not available in the game unless traded from {{v|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, or {{v|Emerald}}. This is the only time that a Pokémon that [[version mascot|appears on a game's cover]] is not found in the game, aside from the storage game {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}}.
* The game contains 3D models of the Trainers from {{v|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} despite being released before them. This situation is similar to that with {{g|Stadium 2}}, which was released on the same day as {{v|Crystal}} in Japan and several months before it in other regions.
* The starter Pokémon, {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}}, already have some [[experience]] points at the start of the game.
* The game erroneously calls {{m|Frenzy Plant}} "Solid Plant".
* If a Pokémon is traded from Pokémon XD, the caught location is displayed as [[Mt. Battle]], regardless of where it was actually caught in [[Orre]], even if it was caught in an area accessible in the game.
* Unlike the {{g|Stadium series}}, Pokémon in this game retain their computerized voices, identical to those in the GBA games.
* This game is the only game in which none of the members of the {{p|Zubat}} evolution family are obtainable without trading.
* Contrary to rumor, Shadow Pokémon can be [[Shiny Pokémon]] when encountered. Shininess is retained through purification. A Shiny Pokémon in Colosseum will emit two orange 'orbs' when sent into battle, and alternate colors are visible as expected. The probability of a Pokémon being Shiny is the same as it is in the handheld games, 1/8192.
* In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], the Trainer in zone 93 of [[Mt. Battle]] has {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Umbreon}}, {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, Colosseum's [[starter Pokémon]] and Shadow [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Pokémon Colosseum, along with its sequel [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], is the only main series Pokémon games since [[Pokémon Crystal Version| Pokémon Crystal]] not to give the player the choice of playing as either a boy or a girl.

'''Michael''' (Japanese: '''リュウト''' ''Ryūto'') is the protagonist of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

Michael has a [[Snag Machine]], similar to [[Pokémon Colosseum]]'s hero, [[Wes]] - and an [[Aura Reader]], which makes the dark auras exuded by [[Shadow Pokémon]] visible as they were to Wes's companion, [[Rui]]. He was given these at the beginning of the game.

His mother {{OBP|Lily|XD}}, who works for [[Professor Krane]], his sister [[Jovi]] and he live at Krane's Pokémon lab in [[Orre]]. He is an upcoming Trainer ready for his own journey with his {{p|Eevee}}, his [[starter Pokémon]] entrusted to him by his father. Traveling across Orre, he seeks to defeat the criminal organization [[Cipher]], which is now under Grand Master [[Greevil]]'s plot to wield an army of Shadow Pokémon in order to rule the world.
[[Image:Shadowradar.PNG|thumb|left|Michael about to notice a Shadow Pokémon]]

Not only does Michael successfully defeat the entirety of Cipher Peons and Admins whom he encounters, but he also snags the Shadow Pokémon in their possession. His final feat is the capturing of Greevil's full-fledged team of Shadow Pokémon, including [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]]. His achievement brings upon the disbandment of Cipher, at least under Greevil and [[Eldes]]' leadership.

During the game, Michael's father is mentioned multiple times as a distinguished public figure, but he is in fact deceased. This makes Michael similar to {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}}, one of whose father is a [[Norman|Gym Leader]] and the other - a [[Professor Birch|Pokémon Professor]], but also to the other [[player character]]s whose father is not present.

Michael also encounters two [[Generation IV]] Pokémon, {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Bonsly}}, with Bonsly being used in [[Battle Bingo]] and Munchlax appearing outside of battle. When this game was released, it was still [[Generation III]].

==Trivia==
* The name Michael's meaning is derived from the Hebrew query, "Who is like God?" <ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael Wikipedia]</ref>
*Michael's optional names are also Biblical references: David was the second king of Israel, Adam was the first man and Gabriel is another one of the Archangels, like Michael.
* Michael's Japanese name, ''Ryūto'', could possibly originate from ''Ryū'', a Japanese word with multiple meanings such as ''dragon'', ''axe'', and ''kill''.
* Micheal, along with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] protagonist Wes, is the only main series player character not to have an opposite gender counterpart.

==Optional names for Michael==
*David

'''Wes''' (Japanese: '''レオ''' ''Leo'') is a young man who lives in the [[Orre]] region of the world. He is the protagonist of [[Pokémon Colosseum]].

==Storyline==
Wes has apparently been with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Umbreon}} and {{p|Espeon}}, for years, possibly since childhood. Wes joins [[Team Snagem]] for unclear reasons and presumably leaves once he becomes disgusted with their actions.

Before he does, he plants a bomb to completely destroy Team Snagem's headquarters and steals the portable version of the [[Snag Machine]] - a device that can turn [[Poké Ball]]s into [[Snag Ball]]s - which can be used to catch Pokémon already owned by other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. In the process Wes reveals the hidden base to the police of Orre.

Equipped with this device, Wes wanders around until he rescues [[Rui]] from some kidnappers in [[Phenac City]]. Using his very high-tech hovering motorcycle to travel around [[Orre]], Wes and Rui set off to uncover the conspiracy behind [[Cipher]], [[Team Snagem]], and [[Shadow Pokémon]].

Wes's actions eventually attract the attention of both {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}, indicating that he must care deeply for all Pokémon.

However, shortly after defeating Cipher and snagging/saving most of the Shadow Pokémon, there are reports that "Wes" started attacking people with a Shadow Togetic. Wes, with the help of News reports and [[Kids Grid]], managed to track down the impostor to Outskirt Stand, where he was in the middle of attacking one of the people nearby. He then battled and defeated the impostor and then snagged his doppelganger's Shadow Togetic. The impostor is later revealed to be an ex-Cipher Peon who had wanted revenge on Wes for shutting down Cipher, and declares his success in ruining Wes's reputation. However, Orre forgives Wes after realizing their mistake.

Wes's past is never fully explained, although some conjectures can be drawn from dialog within the story. Wes fits in well at [[Pyrite Town]] (one character even remarked that he would), suggesting that he doesn't have that much of a problem with petty crimes like thievery. He seems to have once had some sort of father/son dynamic with the head of Team Snagem, [[Gonzap]].

His whereabouts after the events of [[Pokémon Colosseum]] are unknown. Because neither he nor Rui appear in {{Pokémon XD}}, he may have followed Rui to her home town, a currently unknown location. The duo's heroic acts in bringing the first Shadow incident to an end, are remembered by people in Orre, though their names are not mentioned to [[Michael]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Wes Manga.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Wes in [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatcher Leo]]]]
Wes also appears in the [[Pokémon Colosseum Snatcher Leo|manga adaption]] of [[Pokémon Colosseum]].

==Optional names for Wes==
===English===
* Seth
* Thomas
===Japanese===
* ユータ ''Yūta''
* タツキ ''Tatsuki''

==Trivia==
* Wes is the only [[player character]] in the main series to have two starter Pokémon.
* Wes is the oldest playable character in the main series. He's also the tallest.
** Until [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] of [[Pokémon Trozei!]] was introduced, Wes was also the oldest hero ever featured in a [[Pokémon game]]. While most other protagonists are intended to appear around 11, Wes was designed to be 17 years of age.
* Wes, along with [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] protagonist Michael, is the only main series player character not to have an opposite gender counterpart.

Altering Cave

2011-03-03T18:05:02Z

WenGobou: I thought it made it clearer... I mean, it wasn't difficult to understand before or anything, but if this is an encyclopedia, we can't just expect people to know things, even if they're really obvious

{{Infobox location

The '''Altering Cave''' (Japanese: '''へんげのどうくつ''' ''Changing Cave'') is found in {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen|s}} and {{v2|Emerald}}. Only {{p|Zubat}} can be found in this cave, but it is possible for the Altering Cave's wild Pokémon to be altered by using [[Mystery Gift]] at a Wonder Spot hosted by Nintendo. Despite this, no country has ever held an event to make use of this hidden feature.

==Location==
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Altering Cave is found north of [[Fortune Island]] on [[Outcast Island]]. In {{v2|Emerald}}, Altering Cave is found on {{rt|103|Hoenn}}, on the east bank of the pond that passes through the center of the route. The entrance of the cave is only open after becoming the Pokémon League Champion.

==Changes between games==
Geographically, the two caves are exactly the same, except for their color schemes.

==Trivia==
* All of the exclusive Pokémon can be found in the extended area of the [[Hoenn Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in {{v2|Emerald}}, except for {{p|Smeargle}}, which is found in [[Artisan Cave]] at the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. In addition, they are all available in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] as [[Shadow Pokémon]], and were available via this method even prior to the release of {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.
* While the Altering Cave's inclusion in FireRed and LeafGreen made sense due to the Mystery Gift-exclusive Pokémon being missing from those games, it is unknown why it was carried over to Emerald, where those Pokémon were normally obtainable elsewhere.
* The music for Altering Cave in Emerald is the same one as in FireRed and LeafGreen, as Pokémon Emerald has all music tracks from FireRed and LeafGreen.

'''Got Miltank?''' (Japanese: ''' せいぼミルタンク！さばくのひみつ！''' ''Mother Miltank! The Desert's Secret!''), is the 207th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on June 19, 2001 and in the United States on August 31, 2002.


{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
Seems the road to [[Olivine City]] is a bit longer than expected, as {{ashfr|the gang}} stares upon a large desert badlands. They start to go and {{Ash}} suddenly gets caught in a hole, {{AP|Pikachu}} getting caught by a net. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} look up, and who shows up? [[Team Rocket]]. They say their {{motto}} but Brock and Misty just help Ash out. Well... looks like the usual, Ash calls out his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to make short work of this. [[James]] sends {{TP|James|Weezing}} and Cyndaquil clings on him, about to use {{m|Flamethrower}} just up close. Weezing shakes Cyndaquil off and Cyndaquil lands on the ground, head first. When he gets up, a swelling grows on his nose, making him a bit weak. Team Rocket poke fun at Cyndaquil for a while and then James tells Weezing to use {{m|Sludge}}, Ash blocking the attack. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower again and after feeling somewhat selfconscious, Cyndaquil does so; however, Weezing uses {{m|SmokeScreen}} at the same time, causing a massive explosion that sends Team Rocket and Cyndaquil blasting off. Afterward, Ash tries to look for Cyndaquil but it seems not to work well. Brock suggests they go to the local [[Pokémon Center]] for any clues.

Meanwhile, Cyndaquil wakes up and finds that he's lost and just tries to find a way around. A {{p|Sentret}} spies on him and calls out, a {{p|Butterfree}} and {{p|Sandshrew}} start to spy on Cyndaquil as well. Soon Cyndaquil collapses and then the Butterfree hovers above him. A {{p|Dugtrio}} soon picks Cyndaquil up and starts to carry him off somewhere.

At the Pokémon Center, Joy tells the gang that there's a legend about a sanctuary place for Pokémon in this desert. More likely Cyndaquil is there. Ash heads out, Brock and Misty following; however, Joy didn't tell them where the sanctuary was.

Team Rocket start to complain about the mess they're in until they see Cyndaquil being carried off. The want to get it but Jessie and James don't want to go, so they just throw {{MTR}} down. Meowth lands on his face and gets his nose hurt too, causing another Dugtrio to carry him off with Cyndaquil. Jessie and James try to get out of the [[Transportation in Pokémon|balloon]] and end up falling down. They follow the two Dugtrio.

Ash seems to find nothing much out in the desert, but Pikachu spots a couple of {{p|Quagsire}} up upon a hill. The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} start to walk away from them calmly and the gang takes a hunch and follows them.

Jessie and James see that Cyndaquil and Meowth are taken into a mesa, with a wall of {{p|Exeggutor}} in front of the entrance. The two Pokémon are passed onto an Exeggutor and then they are carried into a oasis inside the mesa. (looks like the one in {{p|Mewtwo}} Lives) The two Pokémon stare around for a while, seeing that other Pokémon are running around enjoying this place. The Exeggutor calls out and a {{p|Miltank}} comes out of a hole in a tree. The Miltank walks up to them, greets them and proceeds to her work. She places a hoof on Cyndaquil's swollen nose and her tail starts to glow along with her hoof and then Cyndaquil, the swell gone in an instant. She then does the same to Meowth and his nose injury goes away as well. Seeing that they aren't coming out, Jessie and James make a run for it to the entrance, but the Exeggutor use {{m|Hypnosis}} and lead them out far away.

The gang finds a mesa, which might be the one. They see Jessie and James walk by, but they just walk by. Brock takes a notice of the Exeggutor in the distance, a direct approach won't work. Brock uses {{TP|Brock|Onix}} and they {{m|dig}} underground to the mesa.

Jessie and James suddenly slam into a stone monolithic object and snap out of it. Seeing that they are back to their balloon. They soon get angry now that they are in the middle of nowhere, but James suggest they go for a little ride over there.

The gang make it to a tunnel with a river, Brock pointing out they should follow the light. They reach the sanctuary and Ash finds Cyndaquil and calls out to him. Which proves to be a mistake, soon all the Pokémon within the Mesa get angry and groups of {{p|Beedrill}}, {{p|Pidgeotto}} and {{p|Krabby}} surround them. Ash decides the only way is to jump and he does so followed by Pikachu. They get to the surface but the Pokémon in the sanctuary won't let Cyndaquil go to Ash and vice versa. Soon enough Team Rocket interrupts their little dilemma and decide to take the Pokémon in the sanctuary. They send out everything they got and order them to attack but Meowth stops them, saying that he doesn't want any harm to Miltank. This makes all of Team Rocket's Pokémon actually stop and not obey Jessie and James. Finding this useless, Jessie and James call them back and decide to take Miltank by other force. James shoots out a net and captures Miltank. Meowth grabs onto the net as the net climbs and gets up there but Jessie and James restrain Meowth before he could do anything. Ash tells Cyndaquil to use Flamethrower to the max and he does so, only cutting the rope that held the net. Ash the quickly sends out {{AP|Bayleef}} to use {{m|Razor Leaf}} to cut the net so Miltank can get out, Miltank landing safely in the water. Ash finishes the Team by a jolt of {{m|Thunderbolt}} which sends them flying out.

Ash is glad to see Cyndaquil again and soon the Pokémon in the sanctuary respect Ash and the gang. They head out towards Olivine saying their goodbyes.

=== Errors ===
* When Victreebel comes out of its ball, its "lips" are colored brown instead of red.

=== Dub edits ===
[[File:Milk Drink anime.png|thumb|Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udders]]
* There are about 45 seconds of this episode which were removed from the English dub. The scene where {{MTR}} talks to Miltank about how Pokémon come to the oasis for healing was heavily cut. In the original Japanese version, Meowth speaks to Miltank about the aforementioned details. Then, Meowth and Ash's Cyndaquil start to suck on Miltank’s udders for nourishment. All references and shots of Meowth and Cyndaquil sucking on Miltank's udders were cut from the English dub, although when Ash enters the cave, Brock refers to the use of {{m|Milk Drink}}, and a teat can be seen in Cyndaquil's mouth for about a second.

Talk:Miltank (Pokémon)

2011-03-03T17:21:03Z

WenGobou: /* Trivial spots */ new section

==Name Origin==
i think the line "The tank part of Miltank's name could also refer to her tank-like defense stats. " should be deleted, as I don't think Game Freak had metagame fandom terminology in mind when they named her. [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 22:24, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

== Miltank does not learn Swords Dance ==

I have tried to teach Swords Dance to Miltank and she is not capable of learning it.
I think someone should take it off from the list of TMs she's able to learn.

Thank you!

- Irwin

I took the liberty of removing it, as I just spent several thousand coins to purchase the TM myself and now can't use it. [[User:Delspencerdeltorro|Delspencerdeltorro]] 07:56, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

== Trivial spots ==

In the trivia section it says that Miltank has different spots on her sprites in each generation, but I failed to notice any such differences. Can anyone point these out me or can I remove the statement ?--[[User:WenGobou|WenGobou]] 17:21, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

== Incorrect translation? ==

I'm not so sure if that statement that Oración means "prayer" was incorrect. I'm not an expert on Spanish, but as far as I know Spanish "Orador" would mean "prayer" in the sense of "a person who prays". But the word "prayer" has two meanings. The other meaning is "the words of praying", and that's probably what Alice meant. And it's probably "Oración" in Spanish. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:33, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
:"Oración" means prayer, as in the noun, a prayer that someone says. It does NOT mean a person who prays. "Orar" is the verb, the act of praying. "Orador" is a speaker, like a public speaker or a preacher. I don't know why it says what it says in the trivia, cause I'm about 99% sure it's wrong..--[[User:Snowrunt|Snowrunt]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|♥]] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|♥]] 19:06, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
::Yes. That's exactly what I meant. The existence of this bogus trivia bit is probably caused by someone's faith in online translation devices... --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:10, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
:::In all honesty, I didn't know this word by heart. I used a translator too, but a very good one (don't hurt me!). But using my knowledge of Spanish, orador couldn't mean prayer, because a -dor ending usually refers to an occupation. And.. yeah, I have no idea why that trivia was there. It means prayer. >>; --[[User:Snowrunt|Snowrunt]] [[User talk:Snowrunt|♥]] [[Special:Contributions/Snowrunt|♥]] 19:17, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

:::[http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/oraci%C3%B3n On Wiktionary] Snowrunt is right, it does mean prayer in Spanish ''and'' Galician. --[[User:WalloniaEagle|StaraptorEmpoleon (Eagle)]] 05:07, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

== About Orasion ==

I just got a crazy idea. Maybe it IS supposed to be spelt "Orasion", as both Wonder Card and Official Website spell it. I know that such spelling would normally be incorrect but don't forget that the dubbers (and Japaneses too) often tend to misspell something to make a pun (see Forme). No one said that the name of the song has to be spelt the same as the spanish word for prayer. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 19:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

== "Secret page" ==

The link to the secret page on Pokémon.com doesn't work anymore. I tried going on the website and typing "orasion", "oracion" and "Oración" in the search bar, but the "secret page" seems to have been deleted. Should we remove the "Other uses" paragraph ?

'''And Mewtwo... Three!''' (Japanese: '''VSミュウツー（後編)''' ''VS. Mewtwo (Part 2)'') is the thirty-fifth round of the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

==Synopsis==
As [[Blaine]] charges at {{Adv|Mewtwo}} on his {{p|Rapidash}}, he announces his plan: to break Mewtwo's {{m|Psywave}} with an attack using an equivalent amount of energy, by blasting the energy through the tornado with his own body. To {{Adv|Red}}'s horror Blaine crashes into Mewtwo, resulting in a huge explosion. As the dust clears, Mewtwo is nowhere to be seen, and with the fading away of Rapidash's fireball wall Red hurriedly checks on Blaine, who smiles at Mewtwo's defeat as he reveals his possession of a Master Ball. Red admonishes Blaine for not using the [[Poké Ball]] of guaranteed capture, to which Blaine indicates that Mewtwo's power had rendered it impossible to get near enough to use the Master Ball. Remarking on Red's compassionate nature, Blaine reveals that he had seen Red [[PS016|infiltrate]] [[Team Rocket]]'s base in [[Celadon City]], and that Red was the inspiration that led him to turn away from Team Rocket, and his cruel experimentations on Pokémon.

Praising Red for his efforts, Blaine appears to collapse, but even as Red calls his name the Trainer is surprised by a rock striking him on the head. Turning around, Red is shocked to see Mewtwo ''still'' capable of fighting, and releases [[Poli]] to do battle. To his surprise Mewtwo forms a spoon from {{t|Psychic}} energy to toss Poli away; Blaine explains it as Mewtwo's method of dealing with single opponents, while using its psychic tornado against multiple foes. Blaine declares Mewtwo as the ultimate fighting machine, genetically engineered for combat and unmatchable by any force of nature.

Unable to deal with Mewtwo and its spoon-shaped weapon, Red releases the rest of his Pokémon, much to Blaine's urgent dismay as Mewtwo predictably uses its Psywave to blow away Red's team. However, Red surprises Blaine and Mewtwo by flying in on {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and before Mewtwo can blow ''them'' away Red has [[Pika]] dive in at Mewtwo with the Master Ball in its mouth, successfully catching the Genetic Pokémon. As Blaine looks on in amazement, Red reveals that he had to get Mewtwo to form the tornado so he could stand a chance of going near enough for the capture. Giving the Master Ball to Blaine, Red encourages the scientist to rehabilitate Mewtwo by teaching it the kindness of humans. As Red goes to congratulate his Pokémon, Blaine feels the pain in his arm - and by extension, Mewtwo - subside, prompting him to recall the phrase of [[Pokémon Trainer]]: a person like Red who trusts, and is trusted by his Pokémon...

Supporting Blaine by his shoulders, Red nods at Blaine's musings of trying a battle sometime, and agrees to a future challenge, as he rallies his Pokémon onward to their next destination: [[Indigo Plateau]].

==Ambertwo's death==

When and where did anything ever say that Ambertwo and the other clones died from "exhaustion due to being a clone" in the birth of Mewtwo or anything for that matter. It is not explained why they die they just do to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong. Also, wo said the will of a human isn't as strong as the will of a pokemon? If thats truw then the Ambertwo should have died first, then charmandertwo, followed by Squiertletwo and bulbasaurtwo, and that didn't happen.[[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 01:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

:As Jmath, JSFighter or anyone else has thus far not said anything to explain their added unlikely info, I have changed it back to what it last was. But I'm pretty certain that it never gives you the reason as to why they died at all, so even what I cahnged it to still seems rather wrong.--[[User:Tails Clock|Tails Clock]] 13:27, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

==Computer Attack==

''Italic text''A computer attacked and killed him to protect the scientists, but Mewtwo quickly regenerated and destroyed the island and everyone on it.
''Italic text''

::In the movie, in the first few opening scenes. [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 01:20, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
:::Killed? It totally missed; Mewtwo is too powerful. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 02:57, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

That computer most certaintly didn't kill him. It latched on to him and then Mewtwo just simply blasted it off of him. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 01:58, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

== Gender ==

I don't think Mewtwo's gender should be "none" since it's unknown if genderless Pokemon apply in the anime, and therefore, not 100% confirmed. In fact i think it's very unlikely that it's genderless since there was a female (mother) Lugia in the series, so it should be "Unknown" ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 11:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC))
:I think we should go a bit further and addend the "unknown" and add "likely male" since all of Mewtwo's voice actors (even the Japanese ones) have been men. Also, I believe Mewtwo was referred to as a 'he' in the anime; and in the article Mewtwo is referred to as male. -Lord Hyren 04:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::Well, if Mewtwo was referred to as a "He" in the anime, go ahead and change it. However, I just want to mention that VA's aren't exactly a determining factor of whether a Pokémon character is male or female. I mean, Ash's VA in almost all versions was a girl, and Ash IS a Guy. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] ([[User talk:Weedle Mchairybug|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Weedle Mchairybug|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

Ash's voice at least sounds male and that's what counts IMO. Same as Mewtwo. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 01:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

:Even though I think Mewtwo is a male, unless it is confirmed, it should be unknown. Also, we need to remove the gender specific pronouns in articles where the Pokémon's gender is unconfirmed, such as this.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 00:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

If Mewtwo's gender is listed as "Unknown" in the infobox, then why is he constantly referred to as "he" in the actual article? We should either list him as male in the infobox, or refer to him as "it" in the article. I'm not really sure which, because although I personally think he is male, I recall the characters in the anime referring to him as "it" several times. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 11:52, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:Remember that Giovanni did say "good boy" to Mewtwo as well in Mewtwo Returns. [[User:Nintenboy01|Nintenboy01]] 16:02, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Oh. Then maybe we should add it? Mewtwo's also referred to as "he" on the legendary duos page.--[[User:Starlight the ampharos|Starlight the ampharos]] 05:54, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

== Should it... ==

Should it have a party table consisting of the Pokémon it cloned?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 12:52, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:I don;t think a party table is the way to go. If we want to, maybe we can just have a section listing the clones. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|electAbuzzzz]] ([[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|TALK]]) 13:06, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

== Shadow Ball ==

Should it be mentioned that Mewtwo used Shadow Ball? The move was introduced in Generation II and Mewtwo was probably not even meant to use Shadow Ball. [[User:Jmath|'''Jm''']][[User talk:Jmath|'''a''']][[Special:Contributions/Jmath|'''th''']] 15:50, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

== Childhood memories ==

"The cloned Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur look extremely similar to their cloned evolved forms. Mewtwo also mentions when it introduces them to Ash, Misty, Brock, Fergus, Corey, Neesha, and Nurse Joy that it also had a Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, and that they evolved, which hints that it may have cloned them from its childhood friends."

I am questioning this, because as far as I remember, when the first movie was done (July 1998 Japan), the prequel about his childhood didn't exist yet. The prequel story first aired as a radio drama (September 1999) and much later as a short anime. Furthermore, in the prequel it says that all memories from his childhood were erased. {{unsigned|Aicona}}
:That "prequel" was part of the original Japanese movie that the failsacks at 4Kids cut to make Mewtwo "more evil". I mean, come now, we can't give something like that a heart. We can't make its anger be of misunderstanding. It's gotta be evil. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

*Stares blankly at TTEchidna* Your being sarcastic, right? Mewtwo is not evil and his anger is of misunderstanding and hurt.

Anyway, I think it was mostly Amber he was focused on when they erased his memory, so EVERYTHING about her disappeared, but he vaguely remembered the others because they were not his main focus as they brain-wiped him. This is just my idea though, there's nothing to back it up. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 22:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Mewtwo's Where-abouts ==

Does anybody know where he is exactly? I mean anime wise. By the end of Mewtwo's Return it states he lives in a far away city, but I've also heard he's traveling the world. Has anyone heard any confirmed info as to his where-abouts?
XDDD Yes, I know it's a stupid question but I'm a huge fan of Mewtwo. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 05:12, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:It can pretty much be concluded that Mewtwo is just traveling the world in solitude. There's not much else he can he do at this point.

I've heard that the city that Mewtwo is standing over at the end of Mewtwo Returns, is the city that amber was born in (the one that Ambertwo showd him in the Origien of Mewtwo short). I have my doughts that it's true but if anyone can confirm this it should be added to the trivia. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 01:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

== psychic balls? ==

seriously? no mention of the special pokeballs that mewtwo uses in the first movie? I came here looking for information about them, I don't even know what they're called. I'm guessing they're called psychic balls but since I have no information about them at all that is purely guess work and I'm probably wrong anyway. if any one has any info on this let me know
:The Poké Ball page would have been a good place to check. Its the third bullet down in the anime part of {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|this section.}} It probably could be mentioned on the page, but if we put too much detail then we'd risk getting a play-by-play synopsis of the movie. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

'At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories of him, and decided to move throughout the world searching for the meaning of his life.' -- A quote from the article.

==Error on Article==

'''Quoth the article:''' "...Ash was caught in their crossfire and turned to stone. After Ash is revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experiences a change of heart and stops his destructive rampage. Wanting to find himself, Mewtwo erased the memories of those present and he and his clones left New Island for Johto.

'''A few years later''', Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place via one of their satellites and began a plan to capture him once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash..."

If Ash is still 10 years old after '''EVERYTHING''', the above statement about a few years going by is '''not''' possible. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 13:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

It is mentionned several times in the anime that years have passed since a certain event (for example in [[PK07]], when Ash states that it has been a year since he and Pikachu first met). The narrator says that Ash is 10 in [[BW001]]. The Pokémon anime is in a {{wp|floating timeline}}.

==Ambertwo's death==

When and where did anything ever say that Ambertwo and the other clones died from "exhaustion due to being a clone" in the birth of Mewtwo or anything for that matter. It is not explained why they die they just do to my knowledge, correct me if I'm wrong. Also, wo said the will of a human isn't as strong as the will of a pokemon?

== Gender ==

I don't think Mewtwo's gender should be "none" since it's unknown if genderless Pokemon apply in the anime, and therefore, not 100% confirmed. In fact i think it's very unlikely that it's genderless since there was a female (mother) Lugia in the series, so it should be "Unknown" ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 11:18, 16 June 2008 (UTC))
:I think we should go a bit further and addend the "unknown" and add "likely male" since all of Mewtwo's voice actors (even the Japanese ones) have been men. Also, I believe Mewtwo was referred to as a 'he' in the anime; and in the article Mewtwo is referred to as male. -Lord Hyren 04:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
::Well, if Mewtwo was referred to as a "He" in the anime, go ahead and change it. However, I just want to mention that VA's aren't exactly a determining factor of whether a Pokémon character is male or female.

If Mewtwo's gender is listed as "Unknown" in the infobox, then why is he constantly referred to as "he" in the actual article? We should either list him as male in the infobox, or refer to him as "it" in the article. I'm not really sure which, because although I personally think he is male, I recall the characters in the anime referring to him as "it" several times.

The prequel story first aired as a radio drama (September 1999) and much later as a short anime. Furthermore, in the prequel it says that all memories from his childhood were erased. {{unsigned|Aicona}}
:That "prequel" was part of the original Japanese movie that the failsacks at 4Kids cut to make Mewtwo "more evil". I mean, come now, we can't give something like that a heart. We can't make its anger be of misunderstanding. It's gotta be evil. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:03, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

*Stares blankly at TTEchidna* Your being sarcastic, right? Mewtwo is not evil and his anger is of misunderstanding and hurt.

Anyway, I think it was mostly Amber he was focused on when they erased his memory, so EVERYTHING about her disappeared, but he vaguely remembered the others because they were not his main focus as they brain-wiped him. This is just my idea though, there's nothing to back it up. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 22:54, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

== Mewtwo's Where-abouts ==

Does anybody know where he is exactly? I mean anime wise. By the end of Mewtwo's Return it states he lives in a far away city, but I've also heard he's traveling the world. Has anyone heard any confirmed info as to his where-abouts?
XDDD Yes, I know it's a stupid question but I'm a huge fan of Mewtwo. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 05:12, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
:It can pretty much be concluded that Mewtwo is just traveling the world in solitude. There's not much else he can he do at this point. Showing himself to the world could be risky on his part so now he just watches over civilization from skyscrapers, world skies, Ect. --[[User:Lordrogersmith6485|Lordrogersmith6485]] 08:09, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I've heard that the city that Mewtwo is standing over at the end of Mewtwo Returns, is the city that amber was born in (the one that Ambertwo showd him in the Origien of Mewtwo short). I have my doughts that it's true but if anyone can confirm this it should be added to the trivia. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 01:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

== psychic balls? ==

seriously? no mention of the special pokeballs that mewtwo uses in the first movie? I came here looking for information about them, I don't even know what they're called. I'm guessing they're called psychic balls but since I have no information about them at all that is purely guess work and I'm probably wrong anyway. if any one has any info on this let me know
:The Poké Ball page would have been a good place to check. Its the third bullet down in the anime part of {{DL|Poké Ball|Other variants|this section.}} It probably could be mentioned on the page, but if we put too much detail then we'd risk getting a play-by-play synopsis of the movie. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 04:02, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

==Mewtwo Story Timeline?==

Was it ever clarified exactly how long ago before the first movie did the 'Birth of Mewtwo' special take place? And for that matter, how long it took to create Mewtwo? --[[User:Lordrogersmith6485|Lordrogersmith6485]] 04:30, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Nope. It never said; which is probably a good thing considering Pokemon time is all messed up [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 13:27, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

==Location==
'At the end of the ordeal, Mewtwo erased Giovanni and his soldiers' memories of him, and decided to move throughout the world searching for the meaning of his life.' -- A quote from the article. Then how come in the location part of the infobox, it says Johto? I think it should be changed to Unknown. [[User:Torngentleman2|MAMOSWINEPwnz! (TaleOfTheToaster)]] 17:47, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

==Error on Article==

'''Quoth the article:''' "...Ash was caught in their crossfire and turned to stone. After Ash is revived by the tears of the nearby Pokémon, clone and original alike, Mewtwo experiences a change of heart and stops his destructive rampage. Wanting to find himself, Mewtwo erased the memories of those present and he and his clones left New Island for Johto.

'''A few years later''', Giovanni found Mewtwo's hiding place via one of their satellites and began a plan to capture him once again. However, this plan was foiled when Mewtwo again met with Ash..."

If Ash is still 10 years old after '''EVERYTHING''', the above statement about a few years going by is '''not''' possible. [[User:Artbender|Artbender]] 13:18, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

It is mentionned several times in the anime that years have passed since a certain event (for example in [[PK07]], when Ash states that it has been a year since he and Pikachu first met). The narrator says that Ash is 10 in [[BW001]]. The Pokémon anime is in a {{wp|floating timeline}}.

==Renaming==
Shouldn't the article be renamed as Rage Candy Bar? I mean, just because they're only available in GSC, they were mentioned in FRLG (giving an English Gen III name) and in Pt (giving an English Gen IV name and it's likely the name to be used in the English version of HGSS).

'''Munchlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴンベ''' ''Gonbe'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Snorlax}} via [[Happiness#Evolutions|happiness]].

It was the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public, in May 2004.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Munchlax has a teal-colored body with a cream-colored spot on its chest. Its round head is teal in the top half and cream on the bottom half. It has big, round eyes and large pointy ears. It has five-fingered hands and cream-colored feet with three clawed toes. It's fur close to the bottom of Munchlax seems to resemble a dress. Munchlax has two pointy teeth that stick out of it's mouth even when it is closed.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Munchlax's abilities are about the same as its evolved form, {{P|Snorlax}}, only weaker. However, some moves that are unique to Munchlax are {{m|Screech}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, {{m|Stockpile}}, {{m|Swallow}}, {{m|Last Resort}}, and {{m|Metronome}}.

===Behavior===
Munchlax behaves quite opposite of its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}, as it is somewhat hyperactive. It is very similar with its eating patterns, however. It does not mind walking and running from place to place as it looks for food. Munchlax tend to store food in its long fur, although it sometimes forgets about its hidden food. It can also eat very many servings of food at a time, and rarely gets full.

===Habitat===
Wild Munchlax can only be found in [[honey trees]] in the games, so it is apparent that they spend most of their time eating honey off honey trees, although this is not officially confirmed.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Munchlax eats the most food of any Pokémon besides its evolution, {{p|Snorlax}}. It will eat nearly anything. It can rarely become full and will eat constantly, unlike Snorlax, who eats in between sleeping.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Plusle Minun Munchlax.png|thumb|right|210px|Munchlax's first appearance]]
A Munchlax first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it evolved into a Snorlax to stay afloat in the Block Bot flood, making it the first [[Generation IV]] Pokémon to appear in the anime.

{{an|May}} currently owns a {{TP|May|Munchlax}}, which she captured in ''[[AG117|Berry, Berry Interesting]]''.

A Munchlax appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''.

A Munchlax also appeared in ''[[DP069| Enter Galactic!]]

A trainer named [[Kylie]] owns a Munchlax, which was seen in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP076|Munchlax|Dawn's Pokédex|Munchlax, the Big Eater Pokémon. It gobbles up its own body weight in {{pkmn|food}} each day, and it {{m|Swallow|swallows}} its food without almost any chewing.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Munchlax named {{DL|Diamond (Adventures)|Lax}} which, like him, has a very gluttonous nature, prone to eating dozens of people's worth of snacks out the get-go. Despite being a baby Pokémon with little training, it showed considerable stamina and durability when being used by {{adv|Platinum}} to fight [[Fantina]]. It also often hides countless berries under its fur to serve as distractions.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure]]===
In [[DPA05|the fifth chapter]], a {{tc|Collector}}, {{tc|Ruin Maniac}}, {{tc|Psychic}} and [[Galactic Grunt]] are all searching for a Munchlax, which is said to be very rare. Its {{a|Pickup}} ability takes Hareta's Pokédex but Munchlax returns it later.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Munchlax (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[Image:SSBB Munchlax.png|right|thumb|Munchlax in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
After being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Munchlax walks around and {{m|Swallow|eats}} items on the stage. However, it will not eat a living item, an Assist Trophy, or a Poké Ball.

==Trivia==
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Shuckle}}, in terms of base stats, is the slowest non-glitched Pokémon.
** Despite this, Munchlax has the highest [[base stat]] total of all [[baby Pokémon]], at 390. This surpasses some second-evolution Pokémon, such as {{p|Beautifly}}.
*** Its base [[Stats#Hit points|HP]] and [[Stats#Attack|Attack]] stats are also the highest among baby Pokémon, at 135 and 85, respectively.
* Munchlax's English name was first revealed on October 9, 2004.
* Munchlax appeared in three games before [[Generation IV|its generation]]; [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokémon_Mystery_Dungeon:_Red_Rescue_Team_and_Blue_Rescue_Team|the first Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Dash]].
**Although obtainable through hacking in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] as it has an index number, unlike {{p|Bonsly}}, it is unusable as it was not programmed to be used in battle.
* Though Munchlax appears to be dark blue in color, it belongs in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Black|black color group}}.
* Munchlax, along with {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the only Pokémon who learn {{m|Stockpile}} by leveling up, but don't learn both {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Swallow}}. Munchlax doesn't learn {{m|Spit Up}}, while {{p|Qwilfish}} doesn't learn {{m|Swallow}}.
** This is most likely due to its eating habits.
* It is the second Pokémon species that has evolved in a movie, after many {{p|Metapod}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''. In sheer numbers, however, there were hundreds of Metapod, so Munchlax is quite low on the list.
* Munchlax is the heaviest [[baby Pokémon]].
** This is probably because of its eating habits.

===Origin===
Munchlax is most likely based on a baby {{wp|bear}}. Its habits may also be based on the fact that bears eat a lot of food before hibernating, which Snorlax seems to do a lot more of.

====Name origin====
Munchlax's name is a combination of ''munch'', to chew on food, and ''lax'' or ''relax''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of {{p|Snorlax}}'s Japanese name, ''Kabigon'', and ''baby''. It may also be from 権兵衛 ''gonbē'', popular Japanese name for peasants in the old days.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mampfaxo - A combination of ''mampfen'' (to munch) and ''Relaxo'' (the German name for Snorlax).
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Goinfrex - From ''goinfre'' (glutton), and ''extra''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 먹고자 ''Meokgoja'' - Literally "eat and sleep".
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 小卡比獸 ''Xiǎo Kǎ Bǐ Shòu'' - From 小 (small) and 卡比獸 (Snorlax).

Block Bot

WenGobou: /* Intro */

[[Image:Sentry Block Bot.png|thumb|250px|The Block Bot]]
[[Image:Block bots swallowing up Rayquaza.png|left|thumb|250px|The out-of-control Block Bots swallowing up {{mov|Rayquaza|Rayquaza|7}}]]
A '''Block Bot''' (Japanese: '''ブロボ''' ''Burobo'') is a type of robot seen in [[LaRousse City]] in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. They perform a number of functions, such as acting as a welcoming committee to visitors, and taking pictures for passports. They can also join themselves together to form bridges, and act as LaRousse's defense system.

However, because of an attack from a {{mo|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}, their data was scrambled, became corrupt and they began attacking innocent bystanders, and had to be shut down for repairs. In the final part of the movie, they flooded the streets and almost covered the [[Battle Tower]]. This indirectly led to the evolution of a {{p|Munchlax}} into a {{p|Snorlax}}, which {{Ash}} bounced on to get a passport to shut down the Block Bots.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
*The Block Bots may be a reference to the robot {{wp|Cubix#Cubix|Cubix}}, who stars in a show of the {{wp|Cubix|same name}}. Both ''Pokémon'' and ''Cubix'' were part of the [[Kids' WB!]] lineup in 2001, and [[4Kids Entertainment]] worked on both shows.

Talk:Pokémon Trading Card Game

2011-02-26T20:29:04Z

WenGobou: /* TCG video game "sprites" */ new section

On the set pages themselves, a card listing would be nice.... =D [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 21:36, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

>That would be nice, but remember that we don't know yet how we're going to list the cards in the first place. Should we list them by individual card - so that all the say, different Pikachu cards have their own pages? If we do that, how do we differentiate them in the title? Level? That works for the earlier sets, but Level isn't listed on newer ones. Do we do it by expansion? What about Pokemon who have multiple cards within the same expansion, such as Houndour? It's a very complicated thing, and I wish someone would make a final decision on it. - Zeta

>I figure, for the English sets at least, why not use the numbering system used there? Like Base Alakazam is 1/102... [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 01:06, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

>>I'm thinking NAME (SET) (number). And the (number) part would only be if it's needed. For example, if there's a Wingull in the Wingulpwnz set, the page name would be "Wingull (Wingulpwnz)". If there are two Hoppip in the same set, though, they would be named "Hoppip (Wingulpwnz) (40)" and "Hoppip (Wingulpwnz) (41)", with "Hoppip (Wingulpwnz)" being a disambig. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 04:04, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

== Naming System ==

I think the naming system should be NAME (SETNUM)

*NAME is the name of the Pokémon
*SET is the 2 letter / 3 letter abbrivation of the set
*NUM is the card number, e.g. 4/102 = 004

Examples
*Alakazam (BS001)
*Blastoise (BS002)
*Chansey (BS003)
*Charizard (BS004)
*Clefairy (BS005)
*Gyarados (BS006)

[[User:Plau|Plau]]

:Disagree. The numbering is superfluous for the early set - and causes problems with cards with holo/non-holo numbers. Format should be: <sc>title</sc> (<sc>set name</sc>) or <sc>title</sc> (<sc>set name</sc> <sc>number</sc>), without zero-padding for the number.

:Then - there is the matter of page layout. While making it look like a card is very interesting, it leaves a lot to be desired. There is no content left for the main text area, and not all the information is visible at a glance. Set it out as an infobox, with all the important information in the box, and all the extra information - flavour text and such - in the main article text. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 06:20, 13 February 2006 (CST)

:After looking at those newer sets purported to have many repeated cards - I find that they are not as common as some have led me to believe - therefore, as previously suggested, only repeated cards need a number specified. Also, someone tell me that those half-deck halves don't actually give each energy card a unique number. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 07:14, 13 February 2006 (CST)

::Go ahead, can you please help set up the infobox, because i don't know that, and ill enter the rest of the info. If so, can you be ''kind'' enough to edit Template:TCGInfobox - [[User:plau|plau]]

I vote that the card naming system be: NAME (SET) [OTHER] - NAME and SET are obvious. OTHER should only be used if there are two cards of the same name in the same set. You can use card number, level, #1/#2/#n, or nicknames. - [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 03:32, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
:You might want to check out the [[Bulbapedia talk:Project TCG|Project TCGDex talk page]]. The discussion's been moved there.

== Unclassified promos ==

[[Arcanine (Toyota promo)]] doesn't fall under any of the current promo categories. I believe this might be a problem. --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]]

== Named Pokémon ==

In the ''Types of Cards'' list, does Named Pokémon mean Owner's Pokémon, ______'s Pokémon, or both? -[[User:Groudon465|Groudon465]][[User talk:Groudon465|Talk]]

==Rarity==
This article, lovely as it is, seems to focus overly much on the cards in relation to organized play. There seems to be a complete lack of information here on rarity, collecting, and marketing. If someone could, please expand to include information on the rarity system (common, uncommon, rare, rare holo, etc) explain such anomalies as Pokémon EX and reverse-holos, "secret" cards, the odds of finding a given rarity/given card, numbers of cards in packs, stuff like that. I would expand the article myself, but then, if I HAD this information, I wouldn't be asking. Cheers. [[User:Din's Fire 997|Din's Fire 997]] 06:07, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
:Very true. The {{wp|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} page over at Wikipedia is much more in-depth, and an example of what this page needs to be. [[User:Double Dash|Cipher]] 16:11, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

==Pokemon VS Discrepancy==
Due to Pokémon VS, there is a conflict concerning what appears to be every single evolved Pokémon in the set: They are all basic Pokémon in VS. What this means is that each page that declares "All *** cards are Stage # Pokémon." referring to Pokémon in said set is technically incorrect. I already modified [[Charizard (TCG)|Charizard]] and [[Blastoise (TCG)|Blastoise]] to align with this, but since the scope of this seems to be a relatively large, I decided I should mention it here. Should that line simply be removed like I already did, changed to "Most" instead of "All", or should it simply be ignored? ~ [[User:Zeofar|Zeofar]] 08:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

:I'd remove it, personally, but wait and see what other TCG editors think. [[User:Cipher|'''''Cipher''''']] [[User talk:Cipher|'''''(Talk)''''']] 09:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
::The lines at the top talk about what is normal for each Pokémon. Since the text is for what is normal, it doesn't go by what the VS set says, because the VS set isn't one of the main sets. They should not be changed. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 14:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

:::Pokémon-Star says hi. They're not evolved. [[User:Cipher|'''''Cipher''''']] [[User talk:Cipher|'''''(Talk)''''']] 16:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

::::Neither are the movie half deck cards. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 16:55, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

== Rules? ==

Would it be a good idea to explain how to play the Pokémon TCG somewhere in the article, or maybe make a new page called "How to play the Pokémon Trading Card Game"? I know how to play so I could help with this if anyone is interested. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 21:40, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
:Most of the things are on [[Glossary (TCG)|this page]], If we want more, I'll have to think about it. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 00:02, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

== What went wrong with the WoTC picture? ==

It's way too big.--[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight Blue]] 23:08, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
:That's odd...It's not letting me resize it, and when I preview it, it's eating the navbar...--'''Dark''' [[Mask of Ice|'''ICE''']] (User:Cold)([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:11, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
::Maybe just an error.--[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight Blue]] 23:13, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

== Sub-Set/Mini-Set Expansions? ==

Curious as to where "[[Lost Link (TCG)]]" would fit into this page along with the others of this same set-type?

== Levels of Pokémon ==

At the bottom of the cards (in the Pokédex data) there is a level of the Pokémon. Should this be included as and extra row in the table?--[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalkwriter]] 15:34, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
:Only on about half the cards. What table are you talking about? ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 18:19, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

== weird card ==

I found a strange card while surfing the web (follow the link) [http://www.misterorange.com/pokemon.jpg]--[[User:Ash0011|Ash0011]] 02:52, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
: Chances are that it isn't real. There are plenty of sites that display fake Pokemon cards. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 03:01, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
::Chance are??? It took me 0.000001 seconds to see it is a fake. Look at the ridiculous stats and descriptions - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]]''' 05:18, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
::And lol in bottom right of the picture - '''[[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes]][[User talk:Vhayes1992|1992]]''' 05:20, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
:::oooh I thought it was like the shadow [[lugia]] card--[[User:Ash0011|Ash0011]] 22:02, 23 January 2011 (UTC)

== TCG video game "sprites" ==

Could someone perhaps upload the card "sprites" from the TCG video game ? I thought it would probably be a good addition to their respective cards' pages.--[[User:WenGobou|WenGobou]] 20:29, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

This is frequently said
At first was a forced smile somewhere......
But soon it will be full of genuine smiles!

Wind, carry my voice
Carry my feelings
To that person in a distant town
"I'll be all right!
I'll be totally all right!
I'm not alone, I have my friends, so I'll be all right!

Yeah-he-he-hey, let's start walking!
Yeah-he-he-hey, should we run?
Yeah-he-he-hey, what we're aiming for
Yeah-he-he-hey, is always shining!
The throbbing of my heart instantly changes
To a pounding excitement!
There's just no way I can calm down!''</ab>

==Trivia==
* This is the first opening to the Pokémon anime to not feature any human characters.
** This is also the first opening not to feature {{MTR}}.
* Pokémon silhouettes are revealed in the episode following their debut in the series.
* This is the first opening to be composed completely of [[wp:Computer-generated imagery|CGI]].
* {{p|Reshiram}} is the only Pokémon who has a white silhouette.
* Among the first opening songs of all [[series]], this is the only one not to use terms of the franchise (location names, moves, etc.).

===Errors===
* In [[BW001]], in the scene where Reshiram's silhouette was showcased, it is white. However, when all the Pokémon are together, the silhouette was black.

==Variants==
In the first episode, all Pokémon (except Pikachu) are shown in silhouettes. Whenever a Pokémon makes its debut, its silhouette is transformed into its revealed form in the episode following their debut in the series. Every episode after that will show that Pokémon (without any transformation). As of [[BW014]], all Pokémon have been unveiled.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''It's always hard,
When the journey begins.
Hard to find your way,
Hard to make new friends.
But there's nothing you can't do,
'Cause you got the power inside of you.
It's not always [[Pokémon: Black & White|black and white]],
But your heart always knows what's right.
It's not about win or lose, it's the path you choose.
Let the journey begin,
Pokémon!''</ab>

==Trivia==
* This is the first dub opening for the Pokémon anime to not feature any human characters.
* This is the first dub opening to be composed completely of [[wp:Computer-generated imagery|CGI]].
* This is also the first dub opening to feature a duet. It's also the first opening for the main anime, both in the original and dub, to feature a male and female duet.
** [[Pokémon Chronicles]] had a male and female duet for their opening but it was only a side series.
* This is the shortest dub opening to date.
* Unlike in ''[[Best Wishes (song)|Best Wishes!]]'', all of the Pokémon are revealed and are not in silhouette.
** Due to this, numerous Pokémon that were not revealed to American audiences were leaked.

Talk:Silver (game)

2011-02-23T12:31:25Z

WenGobou: /* His son ? Really ? */

Is there any way to suggest that Silver is "Giovanni's red-haired son" without causing a discussion that would span for 40 days and 40 nights, break for an hour, then start up again? --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]]

>Emphasize that's fan speciulation at best? - Zeta

What if we classified it as "heavily implied?" Since, it seems to be. [[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 03:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

==Sneasel==
If I'm remembering correctly, Silver steals his Sneasel from a guy in Cianwood. He gives Gold his Shuckle so Silve dosen't come back and steal that, too. That seems pretty relevant to me....[[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 03:19, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia's article on Silver is MUCH more detailed, which is odd, since this is Bulbapedia....[[User:Cheesedude|Cheesedude]] 03:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

:responding to this a year later -_- Anyway if you have a look at Silver's non-starter Pokémon they are all more or less sweeper-based in stats. Shuckle has no offensive powers really, and the only time it has them is when it sacrifices all its defense (and its still too slow to be any good). I doubt Silver wanted it.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 19:10, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
::Yeah, I definitely think that Silver steals his Sneasel from the guy in Cianwood, since he has it in a point of the game where you can't get it at that point yet. <big>[[user:chocolate|Cho]][[user talk:chocolate|col]][[special:contributions/chocolate|ate]]</big> 19:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

...how does having a Crobat show that he loves his Pokémon? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 19:36, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Because this means that his Pokémon love him, 'cause Golbat will evolve just if its Happiness is at maximum. And, a Pokémon can't be happy if the Trainer don't care about them, just if the Trainer really loves the Pokémom.'''[[User:Haruka uzumaki|うずまき]][[User talk:Haruka uzumaki|ハルカ]]''' 20:05, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

:Yeah but, there are [[Soothe Bell|other ways]] too get your Pokémon to love you, [[Luxury Ball|loads of others]], so it doesn't really mean he loved his Crobat in return. I'd look [[Happiness|here]] for more info xD [[User:Takoto|Takoto タコト]]| サソデイ = 愛 21:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

::::It's tough love, but anyway. The Crobat is likely implied further evidence that Silver was not just spouting things about 'caring more' for his Pokémon, but actually changing (or has changed) his initial attitude of being a rash and cruel trainer.[[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 12:27, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

:::::::Why does the article has a Crystal sprite if it's the same as in Gold and Silver? The correct thing is to put a list of all the sprites and their variations like in Green's/Blue's article. [[User:Pokemon lover|Pokemon lover]] 21:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

==Kamon?==

Do we really need to mention that name? It's just the first player name choice for the Silver version, and Hiroki (the first for Gold) isn't the name used by Gold's Anime equivalent (Kenta). "Mentioned on an Anime website"? What site? Sounds like fanwank to me. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 13:54, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

i think the original japanese you guys have in here for silver its not the right one cause while i put it in pokeani it appeared richie.
:シルバ is correct. Pokéani isn’t really the best source. (See also: the recent removal of all the gym leader titles taken from Pokéani.) [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 19:52, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

== Picture of Anime Debut ==

I just saw that it had all the text on it. If I possibly could, would it be acceptable for me to find one without text and replace the current one?

== Silver's new design ==

Serebii has uploaded a scan showing Silver's redesign for the remakes, but the pic is too small [http://www.serebii.net/heartgoldsoulsilver/scan0609.jpg]

I was wondering if anyone has a link to a bigger one, so that we can upload a decent image with his new design and update the article. -- [[User:Pokéman|Pokéman]] 12:05, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

That's right. Silver has a new name now, his default is either Heart (ハート ''Heart'') or Soul (ソウル ''Soul'') depending on your version.
--[[User:Raine|Raine]] 15:14, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

But not anymore.

His posssible names are only Heart and Soul, ''not'' Gold or Silver, so the article should be moved.--[[User:Raine|Raine]] 22:34, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

::::::::As I'm sure you all know, the Pearl article was recently changed to Barry on the grounds that it appears at the top of two of three default name lists. I guess you can sort of apply the same argument here, but keep in mind this is a remake. In addition, the Barry article chose to ignore the placeholder name. Keep in mind that placeholder data isn't necessarily reliable (Red would otherwise be Ninten, Blue'd be either Sony or Terry and Barry would be Cedric), though it was used in a case where no clear default was ever indicated (Leaf). I guess the real answer to this is if Bulbapedia is willing to include an outdated generation in this. I personally wouldn't, but it's your call.

Celebi takes the player back in time three years to witness Giovanni abandoning Silver to go into seclusion because of his defeat. Silver's hate for Team Rocket apparently stems from them failing his father."

I'd edit this myself, but wanted to ask if this was just me or if other people also find the sentence structure confusing.

Here's the sentence as it is now:
Prior to the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, fan speculation held that Silver was Giovanni's red-haired child, due to Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's Fame Checker's many references to Pokémon Gold and Silver versions, to Giovanni being Silver's manga equivalent's father in Pokémon Special, and to Silver's dark demeanor and detestment of Team Rocket.

And here's how it could be changed:
Prior to the release of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, fan speculation held that Silver was Giovanni's red-haired child, citing as evidence Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen's Fame Checker's many references to Pokémon Gold and Silver versions, Giovanni being Silver's manga equivalent's father in Pokémon Special, and Silver's dark demeanor and detestment of Team Rocket. A sidequest in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver later proved the theory true.

== Leaf... ==

Shiningpikablu252: Oh, come on! You said yourself that Leaf should be mentioned in the FR/LG section of the timeline article but not in the G/S/C/HG/SS section because she existed on FR/LG but not on the G/S/C/HG/SS timeline. Now you're contradicting yourself by mentioning her in an article that is about a GSC character, and therefore, it's about the GSC timeline (especially considering that the part I edited was talking about a line said by Giovanni in HG/SS, not FR/LG, so he was clearly talking about Red). What's up with that?

And second, why was the article protected? No "canonicity debacle" started. I simply corrected a mistake, and before anyone could agree or disagree with it, you reverted it and protected the article. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 02:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

:If the fact that Red appears in Mt. Silver and Leaf doesn't appear at all were enough to outright suggest that only one of them can exist in canon, then there wouldn't even be any canonicity debates to begin with. <strike>However, the one and only text reference in the original Generation II games that explicity implies Red came from Copycat, something that can easily be changed to be gender-neutral in a remake.</strike> Even back in Generation II, they said Team Rocket was broken up three years ago by "a kid", which in Genration IV context would imply either Red or Leaf. And odds are the writers wouldn't insert any new text that would explicitly imply Red is the only canon character from the three-years-ago timeline, especially since they took the trouble of perfecting Leaf to begin with. (Yes, I said perfecting--female player characters were taken into consideration as far back as the original concepts for the Japanese Red and Green, but weren't implemented until Crystal due to technical restrictions.)

:Furthermore, Red's team at Mt. Silver is based primarily on other forms of Pokémon media, primarily Ash from the anime, but also in Generation II from {{Special|Red}} in [[Pokémon Special]] (this would explain Espeon). As far as we're concerned, if the depiction of Red is not fully video-game-based, then nobody has a place to say that Leaf has absolutely no place in canon simply because Red's there and Leaf's not.

:In closing: The Leaf mentions stay. To remove them would imply that the Generation I games were the one and only proper canon for the three-years-ago story, and that FireRed/LeafGreen themselves are non-canonical, and that in turn would put some doubt on HeartGold/SoulSilver's canonicity. Whether the Leaf mentions remain in the current wording or not, that remains to be seen. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

::"If the fact that Red appears in Mt. Silver and Leaf doesn't appear at all were enough to outright suggest that only one of them can exist in canon, then there wouldn't even be any canonicity debates to begin with."

::The point is - Leaf's story from FR/LG isn't canon. Red and Leaf can't both be the kid who defeated Team Rocket and became the regional Kanto champion in the same continuity.

::"However, the one and only text reference in the original Generation II games that explicity implies Red came from Copycat, something that can easily be changed to be gender-neutral in a remake. Even back in Generation II, they said Team Rocket was broken up three years ago by "a kid", which in Genration IV context would imply either Red or Leaf."

::If that was the case, I wouldn't have a problem with leaving the kid's identity's ambiguous. However, you're wrong. Blue stated that he was defeated by Red (yes, he mentioned his name) after he became champion when you meet him in Cinnabar Island.

::"Furthermore, Red's team at Mt. Silver is based primarily on other forms of Pokémon media, primarily Ash from the anime, but also in Generation II from {{Special|Red}} in [[Pokémon Special]] (this would explain Espeon). As far as we're concerned, if the depiction of Red is not fully video-game-based, then nobody has a place to say that Leaf has absolutely no place in canon simply because Red's there and Leaf's not."

::Not really. Special Red's team was based on GSC Red's, not the other way around.
::GSC and HG/SS Red's team is based on the four Gen I starters (Pikachu, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise) and Pokémon that Red canonically met in Gen I (he got Eevee from that man in Celadon, Lapras from that Silph scientist, and Snorlax when he met it blocking the path to Fuchsia). The only part of HG/SS Red's team that is a reference to other media is Pikachu, as it has the same moves as the anime Pikachu.

::"In closing: The Leaf mentions stay. To remove them would imply that the Generation I games were the one and only proper canon for the three-years-ago story, and that FireRed/LeafGreen themselves are non-canonical, and that in turn would put some doubt on HeartGold/SoulSilver's canonicity. Whether the Leaf mentions remain in the current wording or not, that remains to be seen."

::What? You're saying that for FR/LG to be canon, Leaf has to exist? How does that work? Last time I checked, FR/LG presented two alternate continuities: one where Red traveling Kanto, collecting badges, defeating Team Rocket, and becoming the Kanto champion. The other one was identical except for Leaf taking Red's place. You're telling me that both continuity are canon within the same timeline? How is that even possible? You're saying that Team Rocket took over Silph, was defeated by Red (or Leaf) and ran away, then decided to come back and take over Silph once again, just to be defeated by Leaf (or Red)? That Giovanni was defeated by Red (or Leaf) in his Gym and disbanded TR, then had a change of mind and went back to the gym, then was defeated by the other player character and decided to disband TR once again? That the S.S. Anne sailed from Vermilion City two times (nevermind the fact that it was said that it only comes back once every year)? That Kanto had TWO regional champions? That...
::Sorry, but no. The kid who became the Kanto champion and defeated Giovanni and TR was either Red OR Leaf, not both. And since HG/SS blatantly stated that Red was the Kanto champion (therefore canonizing Red's story from FR/LG), then Leaf has no place in the timeline. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 04:10, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
:::GS was a continuation of RB. It had Red at the end coz Red was the player character. How is your copy of HGSS going to know which gender you played as in FRLG? It makes sense to simply approximate the whole story to Red's journey only. Leaf's journey exists in the FRLG canon, true it is blissfully ignored, but it still exists and to that extent we as Bulbapedians are bound to cover it. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 04:53, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
::::He has a point though. The one that Giovanni lost to is the same person at the summit of Mt. Silver. Who is that person? Red. Not Leaf. I'm not saying to deny her existence. But the point is that she's not the one at Mt. Silver. Red is. It's that simple.

'''Ditto''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタモン''' ''Metamon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

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

Ditto uses the move {{m|Transform}} to copy the opponent's moves, types, form, and non-HP stats. It is sought out for its ability to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with any Pokémon other than the Pokémon in the {{egg|No eggs}} group, including some genderless ones.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In its natural state, Ditto is a purplish free-form shape blob with vestigial facial features. It also appears to have two vestigial, handless 'arms' protruding from its body. However, it can take the form of anything, even inanimate objects.
====Gender differences====
Ditto is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Ditto is capable of {{m|transform}}ing into an exact replica of any other Pokémon (an ability that is also shared with {{p|Mew}}), or indeed any physical object. However, if Ditto tries to transform into something based on memory, it may get some of the details wrong. Ditto will also be unable to remain in a transformed state if it starts laughing. Frequently, a Ditto appears that can't transform its face. This fact is seen in the anime, as well as in [[Pokémon Snap]] (in which several Ditto are transformed into {{p|Bulbasaur}}), and {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (in which, during the [[Veilstone Game Corner|Game Corner]] [[slot machine]] game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto's face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy). In rare cases it will lack the ability to increase or decrease in size, thus rather than creating exact duplicates, it will create (usually) miniature versions. Ditto cannot mimic the strength of another Pokémon. Ditto's ability to breed with any non-legendary Pokémon is also useful for creating Pokémon eggs of rarer Pokémon that it may be difficult to get a mate for, such as the [[starter Pokémon]].

===Behavior===
Ditto's primary defense mechanism is its ability to rearrange its cellular structure. This permits it to transform into essentially any other physical object. When two Ditto meet in the wild, they will attempt to transform into each other. This tendency makes Ditto a unique Pokémon in battle, as it will adapt the form and abilities of its foe. Ditto is best able to transform into something if it has a model to work from. Although Ditto can transform via memory, it has a tendency to forget important details, particularly with its foe's face.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Ditto live in very diverse habitats, the most common being caves and forested areas. However, Ditto are never far from civilization or people. There have even been sightings of Ditto in places such as the Pokémon Mansion. They have been documented living in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Ditto Number 1.png|right|250px|thumb|Ditto in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Ditto first appeared in ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]''. [[Duplica]] and her {{TP|Duplica|Ditto}} used to perform for people, but the two hadn't had an audience since people saw that Ditto couldn't change its face. Ditto fixed that problem near the end of the episode, when captured by [[Team Rocket]]. Duplica found another Ditto sometime before ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'' that she named Mini-Dit. This second Ditto could transform into an exact mirror image of anything, but it couldn't change its size.
[[File:Ditto Number 2.png|left|thumb|230px|{{shiny}} Ditto]]
In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] owns a Ditto and uses it to fight [[Ash's Pikachu]]. After the battle with Drake's Ditto, Pikachu came out the victor.

Two Ditto appear in ''[[DP173|Dealing With A Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', belonging to [[Narissa]]. One of them is normal and the other is {{shiny}}.

===Minor appearances===
A Ditto was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Ditto was also owned by a member of [[Team Magma]] named [[Brodie]], who debuted in ''[[AG083|Unfair Weather Friends]]''.

There is a picture of Ditto on the "Coffee & Tea" sign at one of last parts in the episode in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Duplica and her Ditto are seen in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Finding Ditto appealing, [[Misty]] decides to capture one of her own, but the plan is called off when {{p|Pikachu}} goes missing. Ditto also featured in a minicomic in which it transforms into {{Ash}}, harasses Misty and thereby getting Ash into a lot of pain.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], there is a ninja master named [[Master Ditto]] who appears several times in the manga. His first appearance is in ''[[PPP13|The Wal Comes Tumbling Down]]''.

Additionally, a group of Ditto appear in the [[PPPB04|fourth bonus chapter]] of the manga. The Ditto use {{m|Transform}} to mimic {{MPJ|Pikachu}} and cause mischief.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Ditty}}
Ditto is one of the members on {{adv|Green}}'s team. As a master of transformation, Green uses Ditto extensively in her schemes, such as morphing over her face to disguise her appearance (like when she infiltrated the [[Silph Co.]] building disguised as [[Sabrina]]), camouflaging into its background for subterfuge, as well as forming a protective shield with Green's umbrella.

Ditto is seen later used by [[Team Rocket]], to lure {{adv|Crystal}} and [[Eusine]] away from {{p|Suicune}}, and smother them when discovered. It was, however, defeated by Crystal's {{p|Hitmonchan}}, Hitmonee.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
Ditto is also featured in [[Pokémon Zensho]] under the ownership of {{Zensho|Satoshi}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Ditto (TCG)}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Ditto Melee.png|right|thumb|A screenshot of Ditto in Melee]]
Ditto was originally intended to be one of the Pokémon randomly released from a [[Poké Ball]]. It would have transformed into a copy of the user's character and aided them in battle. However, processing problems forced its removal before the game's release. Ditto can be still be unlocked through the debug menu (which is only accessible through the use of Action Replay), though it does not do anything other than give 7-8% damage to those who touch it.

As for its official status, Ditto only appears as a random trophy and as a cameo in the Tournament Mode menu. In Winner Out or Loser Out tournaments, holding down L and R and pressing A will give the player a random character and color. The usual character image will instead be taken by a picture of Ditto.

====Trophy information====
Every Ditto has the ability to copy a Pokémon's entire cell structure in an instant and become its exact replica. They're terrible at remembering techniques, but when they use {{m|Transform}}, they temporarily learn all of their foe's moves. If a Ditto starts to laugh, it weakens and can't hold its transformation.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: Ditto appears on the Red Table blocking the [[evolution]] cave, once the evolution arrows are lit, it moves out of the way, allowing the player to evolve one of the Pokémon they have captured.
*[[Pokémon Trozei!]]: Ditto serves as a "wild card", meaning it can Trozei with any Pokémon and must be used to get rid of Jammer Balls. One will appear when a Trozei is made with more Pokémon than necessary and multiple appear at the beginning of a new round in Endless and Forever mode to clear out the remaining Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Ditto is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 35. However, if Ditto transforms into another Pokémon with a different catch rate, its catch rate will become that of the new Pokémon.
* Ditto and {{p|Manaphy}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed yet unobtainable through breeding. Ditto, however, is the only one of the two that is not available at level 1 legally (legitimately the lowest level it is able to be is 10, in [[Generation II]] and its Generation IV [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver|remakes]]).
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Pokémon Island Cave|Cave stage]]. The player can cause them to return to their Ditto form by hitting them with an object. When the player takes their picture, Ditto has the same eyes when it is transformed as when it is not. This trait is shared by [[Duplica]]'s Ditto in the [[EP037|anime]], although it was understood that this was not natural. [[Ditto (TCG)|Ditto cards]] from the [[EX Delta Species]] [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] expansion also have this trait.
* Ditto is one of two Pokémon to have two different species-specific items associated with it, the other being {{p|Clamperl}}. Ditto's two associated items, the Metal Powder and Quick Powder, seem to be the same colors as Ditto's normal and {{shiny}} forms, respectively.
* Ditto along with {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Giratina}}'s [[Form differences|Origin Forme]], {{p|Sunkern}}, and {{p|Mew}} is one of the few {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who can have a 5 in all of its [[performance]] stats.
* In [[Pokémon Rumble]], since {{m|Transform}} was not programmed into the game, Ditto can only know {{m|Struggle}}. Since PP does not exist in Rumble, this makes Ditto the only Pokémon in Rumble that can use Struggle.
* Ditto is the most common Pokémon in [[Pokémon Trozei!]], appearing in every area. This is due to its ability to transform, enabling the player a way to advance further if no links are available before Ditto appear.
* In Generations II and III, if a {{Shiny}} Ditto uses {{m|Transform}} to copy a Pokémon that is not Shiny, the Shiny Ditto will transform into the Shiny form of that Pokémon. However, in the anime, a Shiny Ditto that transforms into a Pokémon will not have that Pokémon's Shiny coloration.
* In Generation II, Ditto's back sprite depicts its full body.
* Ditto shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Mew}}, along with also sharing the same color, both {{Shiny}} and not, as well as having the same weight.
* In Weird Al Yankovic's [[Polkamon]], Ditto is mentioned twice.

===Glitches===
Ditto is closely associated with several [[glitch]]es throughout the series, most stemming from its nearly unique ability.

In [[Generation I]], if the player manages to capture an [['M]], an invisible wild Ditto will still be in battle with the player where 'M was before, and the battle will not end. Additionally, a Ditto is a necessary Pokémon for carrying out method #3 of the [[Mew glitch]], which allows the player to encounter any Pokémon or glitch Pokémon (correspondence based upon [http://www.trsrockin.com/hexlist.html this list]). Furthermore, switching the order of moves in a Transformed Ditto's movelist in-battle causes Ditto to have the {{m|--|blank space glitch move}} when the battle ends.

Another glitch in [[Generation I]] involves one switching Ditto's first move with the second move after it has used transform in battle. If one of the copied moves is {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, at the end of the battle Ditto will appear to have no moves whilst Ditto will actually have a glitch move with the type 'Cooltrainer♀' This move will have 0 PP but if the player uses a PP Up and then an Elixir it is usable, yet crashes the game. If this Ditto is traded to {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Gold or Silver}}, the game will reset itself with different colors (a "[[Glitch dimension]]") upon clicking attack.

Also in [[Generation I]], any Pokémon that uses Transform is regarded as a Ditto in its new form; this means that if the player catches a {{p|Mew}} or a Glitch Pokémon which has used the move Transform instead they will obtain a Ditto because a wild {{p|Mew}} cannot be legitimately encountered. This system was later changed in [[Generation III]] so that the {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]] is not caught as Ditto if it uses Transform.

By exploiting the factors that determine a [[shiny Pokémon]], a shiny Ditto can be obtained by trading the [[red Gyarados]] to Generation I and capturing a Ditto that transforms into it. A similar glitch occurs if a regular Ditto is made to transform into a shiny Ditto in Generation II.

Several more glitches involving Ditto's transformation have been discovered in [[Generation IV]] as well. In the original Japanese {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, due to an oversight in the programming of Transform, a Ditto will copy the Pokémon's [[held item]] in addition to its species, allowing rare items to be duplicated. Another glitch allows for Ditto to transform and then permanently keep the moveset of the Pokémon it became, allowing for the passing down of previously impossible [[egg move]] combinations in a large-scale version of {{p|Smeargle}}'s ability to do so with all {{egg2|Ground}} Pokémon through {{m|Sketch}}.

In [[Generation IV]], it is possible to perform the latter of the above glitches by battling a Ditto with a Pokémon that knows {{m|Rage}}, therefore it is possible for a Ditto to have moves like {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}} by battling a Ditto with Pokémon like {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Doduo}} respectively.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|Unused Pokémon design revealed in magazine interview}}
In the sixth issue of {{wp|Best Buy}}'s @Gamer magazine, Game Freak developers Junichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori revealed that Ditto was originally based off of the iconic {{wp|smiley}} face. Its eyes and mouth are exactly like ":)", which is an emoticon representing the smiley.

Additionally, Ditto strongly resembles an {{wp|amoeba}}, a single-celled organism with no definite shape. This may emphasize its ability to alter its cellular composition. This could also explain why Ditto is unavailable through breeding, since single-celled organisms reproduce differently from multi-cellular plants and animals. It may also be based on an {{wp|undifferentiated cell}}, a cell in the body that can change into any other cell by sampling it. It could also have been based on a {{wp|blob}} or a rubber ball.

====Name origin====
A ''ditto'' is a substitute for repeating what was previously written or said. It was also a common name for copies of master documents created by mimeograph machines. Ditto's Japanese name is a combination of ''{{wp|metamorph}}'', ''monster'', and possibly ''transformation''. Alternatively, it came from the prefix 'meta-' (which means 'to encompass all', which Ditto's Transform move does do to Pokémon) and the word 'monster', bringing to mind a parallel of the suffix '-mon' - standing for monster.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ditto
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Metamorph - From ''{{wp|metamorph}}''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메타몽 ''Metamong''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 百變怪 ''Bǎi Biàn Guài'' - Literally "Hundred transformation creature".

'''Mudkip''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミズゴロウ''' ''Mizugorou'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Marshtomp}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Swampert}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Treecko}} and {{p|Torchic}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] that can be chosen at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]].

It is also available in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after obtaining all sixteen [[badge]]s and defeating {{ga|Red}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mudkip are small, blue, amphibious Pokémon with large heads, wide mouths, and orange, star-shaped external gills on their cheeks. They also have a fin on the top of their heads and a light-blue fin for a tail. They move around on all four legs, and have a light-blue underside.

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

====Special abilities====
Mudkip can use the fin on their heads to detect subtle changes in air and water currents, and can detect nearby bodies of water in this way. They can also detect danger. Like most Water-type Pokémon, Mudkip can {{m|Water Gun|shoot water}} from their mouths. When in water, Mudkip breathe using the gills on their cheeks. On land, they can powerfully {{m|Strength|lift large boulders}} by planting their four feet and heaving. If they are faced with a tight situation in battle, Mudkip will become strong enough to crush rocks bigger than themselves.

===Behavior===
Mudkip are more mellow than their evolutions, but are protective of their kind and because of their powerful strength they group up in numbers and easily overpower their foes. They have been known to be playful, especially in mud, as well. They sleep by burying themselves in soil at the water's edge. Their large tail fin propels them through water with powerful acceleration.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Mudkip and members of its evolution family dwell in swamps or other wetlands, deep inside isolated islands, because of their dislike of fresh water lakes and ponds. Soon after birth on beautiful beaches, they swim to swamps deep within islands. Very few have been known to hatch in swamps.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Brock Mudkip.jpg|thumb|left|{{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} in the anime]]
Mudkip first appeared in ''[[AG001|Get the Show on the Road]]'', when {{an|May}} was asked to use a Pokémon to attack some {{p|Poochyena}}. Then, when May was asked to pick her [[starter Pokémon]], she didn't pick Mudkip after it refused to do what May asked.

A Mudkip was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

[[File:Mudkiphatching2.gif|right|thumb|A baby Mudkip hatching from an egg]]
{{an|Brock}} has a {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}} that he caught as a Mudkip in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' Mudkip eggs were seen in the episode when [[Old Man Swamp]] offered to let Brock see one hatch, and Brock accepts his offer with enthusiasm. Next, a baby Mudkip is shown hatching from a Mudkip egg.

[[Nicholai]]'s Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG005|In the Knicker of Time!]]''.

During ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', [[Nurse Joy]] asks {{Ash}} and [[Max]] to look over a {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}} and Mudkip while she wasn't there. The Mudkip of this group was very young and cried easily.

===Other===
A Mudkip appeared in ''[[AG033|Now That’s Flower Power!]]'' as a Pokémon in the Contest.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Adventures, when {{adv|Ruby}} was attacked by {{adv|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Torchic}}, [[Professor Birch]] told him to look in his briefcase, to pick up the Poké Ball with a blue Pokémon and to throw it. The Poké Ball released a Mudkip and he nicknamed it [[Zuzu]]. At the beginning, Ruby was disappointed with it because it wasn't as attractive as his other Pokémon and it couldn't participate in any [[Pokémon Contest]]. He tried with different conditions and then he decided that [[Tough Contest]]s would be perfect for it. Zuzu eventually evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}} and then into a {{p|Swampert}}.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]] manga, [[Ginji]]'s partner and first friend is a cautious {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}}.

'''Tropius''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トロピウス''' ''Tropius'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Tropius are large {{wp|sauropod}} Pokémon with brown and green bodies. They possess large, broad green leaves on their backs which they use for flight. These leaves also double for sugar production via photosynthesis, to give Tropius even more energy. Despite being very big and bulky, they are surprisingly maneuverable in the air. They have long necks which they use for reaching treetops to gorge on their most favored food, fruits. They also grow fruits of their own on their necks which resemble a bunch of ripe bananas. These fruits can be picked and consumed by other Pokémon and by humans, and grow twice a year because of the rapid reproduction of sugar in their leaves, making the rapid production of the fruits in its neck. Their feet have toenails the same color as their fruit.

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

====Special abilities====
Tropius can wield a large variety of {{type2|Grass}} attacks, such as {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Magical Leaf}}. It can also use the leaves on its back as wings and {{m|fly}}.

===Behavior===
Tropius spend their days feasting on fruit. They are generous, allowing children and other Pokémon to pick and eat the fruit growing on their neck.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Tropius live in jungles in the tropics, such as those in [[Hoenn]], although they also appear in southern [[Sinnoh]], which is one of the warmer areas of the region.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Tropius enjoy fruit, especially one kind in particular. Since it ate only this kind of fruit continuously, the fruit began to grow around its neck.

==In the anime==
[[File:Tropius Gust.png|right|thumb|230px|Tropius in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
The first major role that Tropius had was in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. A trainer named [[Dominick]] used the Fruit Pokémon and a {{p|Swalot}} against [[Ash's Corphish]] and {{AP|Torkoal}}. Tropius and Torkoal knocked each other out when their {{m|SolarBeam}} and {{m|Overheat}} attacks connected and created an explosion.

A wild Tropius also challenged [[Ash's Grovyle]] in ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Tropius's first appearance was in the Pokémon movie ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. In it, Tropius was fleeing from the fake {{p|Groudon}} that was trying to snatch all the Pokémon.

A Tropius appears in the [[Rota]] competition in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' battling [[Kidd Summers]]'s {{p|Weavile}}.

A Tropius made an appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Pilo.png|Sapphire's Tropius|thumb|150px|right]]
{{Adv|Sapphire}} owns a Tropius named {{DL|Sapphire (Adventures)|Pilo}} given to her by [[Professor Birch|her father]] for flying purposes. She used it in the battle against [[Team Aqua]] to try and stop them from cutting volcanic activity of [[Mt. Chimney]], and to fly around extensively. It was also taken by {{adv|Ruby}} at one point to fly to [[Sootopolis City]] with [[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] so they could stop {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}'s titanic clash.

==Trivia==
* Tropius is the exact same size as another {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, {{p|Venusaur}}. Both have a height of 6 feet 7 inches and a weight of 220.5 pounds.

===Origin===
Tropius resembles a generic {{wp|sauropod}}, a type of long-necked, herbivorous dinosaur. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|Mokele mbembe}}, a legendary sauropod-like creature said to live in the jungles of the {{wp|Congo}} basin of Africa. Tropius also resembles a {{wp|banana plant}}.

====Name origin====
Tropius's name is a combination of ''tropical'' and ''-saurus''. It could also be a pun of 'tropism'. {{wp|Phototropism}} happens when the plant needs more sunlight, and so turns to the available source of light. If a plant is planted the wrong way around, the roots will use geotropism to grow towards gravity and find water.

Ghosts in the Pokémon world

2011-02-07T08:10:03Z

WenGobou: /* Trivia */

'''Ghosts''' (Japanese: '''ゆうれい''' ''{{wp|Yūrei|ghost}}'') are disguised [[Pokémon]], and [[Marowak (literal ghost)|in one case]], the soul of a deceased Pokémon, that live in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]].

==In the games==
[[File:Ghost.png|right|thumb|250px|The [[Marowak (literal ghost)|Marowak ghost]] as seen in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen]].]]
In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, before getting a [[Silph Scope]], several unidentified ghosts (in reality {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Cubone}}) appear in the Pokémon Tower. Another stronger ghost is revealed to be a mother {{OBP|Marowak|literal ghost}}, which haunts the tower as a result of its death at the hands of [[Team Rocket]].

The identity of the ghosts can be revealed with an item called the [[Silph Scope]]; without the device, battling the ghosts is impossible. Whenever the player orders an attack against an unknown ghost, the player's Pokémon will be too scared to move. Instead of being attacked, the ghost will say "Get out…. Get out…." Before the battle against {{p|Marowak}}'s ghost, a similar message appears, saying "Be gone… Intruders…"

In addition, ghosts cannot be caught without being identified first. If one tries to throw a [[Poké Ball]] at a ghost, it dodges, and the message comes up "It dodged the thrown <sc>Ball</sc>! This <sc>Pokémon</sc> can't be caught!". Even [[Master Ball]]s fail to capture the ghosts. Although most ghosts can be captured with the help of the Silph Scope, the Marowak's ghost cannot, even if it is unmasked.

During the course of the game, the player must obtain the Silph Scope and battle the undead Marowak to calm its spirit. After the Rocket Grunts who killed it are defeated, [[Mr. Fuji]] will express his gratitude to the player.

==In the anime==
[[File:Literal ghost anime.png|thumb|right|Ghosts in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'']]
In the anime, a ghost of the same sort appeared briefly in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''. Later, a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} takes {{Ash}}'s and {{AP|Pikachu}}'s souls out of their bodies after they have been struck by a chandelier. Here it is shown that ghosts can fly around and remain in the form they took while living; however, living beings cannot see them.

Other ghosts appeared in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', including the [[ghost of Maiden's Peak|titular character]]. A [[ghost girl]] was featured in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]''. Both of these ghosts had malicious intent, and were portrayed, in contrast to the Ghost Pokémon that Ash met in [[Lavender Town]], as villains. The ghost of an [[Orange League]] [[Captain (Orange Islands)|champion]] was featured in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]''.

{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP023|Ghost|Ash's Pokédex|Ghost Pokémon are in a vapor form. Their true nature is shrouded in mystery.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==Trivia==
* One of [[Missingno.]]'s forms in [[Generation I]] utilizes the ghost sprite.
* In [[Generation I]], players can exploit a glitch to make the ghost reveal itself. In order to do so, one must simply simply check the stats of any Pokémon, then return to the battle. The ghost will turn into either a Gastly, Haunter, or Cubone. This has no other effect, though, and it still cannot be battled or captured.
* In Generation I, ghosts did not have a cry. In [[Generation III]], ghosts emitted the cry of the Pokémon they would be after the Silph Scope was used.
* Despite being disguised, in [[Generation I]], the [[Pokédex]] would still record seen data on the Pokémon it is under the disguise.
* In Generation I, the player can exploit a glitch to get past the mother Marowak without the Silph Scope. If the player encounters the ghost and uses a [[Poké Doll]], they will be free to advance.
* In Generation I, if the player played the game in color, the ghost would have the same palette as the Pokémon the ghost disguise hides. This means it could have been seen with two different (legitimate) palettes: that of Gastly and Haunter, and that of Cubone and Marowak. If the ghost appeared due to a glitch, a third palette would be used.
* Although most Pokémon in reality can not speak human language, before being unmasked, Ghosts in the Pokémon Tower will say, "Get out.... Get out...."
** This may be a reference to ''{{wp|The Amityville Horror}}''.
** Also, before battling the ghost Marowak, it says "Be gone... Intruders..."
* Although a ghost of this type may be a Gastly, Haunter, Cubone or Marowak, both the Generation I and Generation III sprites bear a striking resemblance to Haunter.

Talk:Poké Ball/Archive 1

WenGobou: /* Park Ball */

==Fast Ball==
Just wondering where Abra and Phanpy are coming from, as [http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346/gbc/poke-balls/ Pokémon Forever states] "If the wild Pokémon is Magnemite, Grimer, Tangela, Mr.Mime, Eevee, Porygon, Dratini, or Dragonair, then Catch Rate = Catch Rate * 4.0. Please note that while these Pokémon have a greater chance to catch, not all of them can be found in the wild."
[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 09:53, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm curious, too. I see various sites that say things like "Pokemon who can run away, like Teddiursa, Tangela, or Raikou", but the game stores a list of Pokemon whom the ball works better on, and that's what I used on PokéFor. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 21:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

In that case, somebody remove the two offending, untrue Pogeys?

And Abra really shouldn't be on that list, as it uses Teleport; it doesn't actually run away... [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:45, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Teleport counts, though. The quick ball worked on Abra.[[User:Nintendofan146B|Nintendofan146B]] 20:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Should Anime-only Balls be included in this? I'm thinking of the Dark Balls and whatever it was that Sammy used from movie 4--BJG

There was the Dark Ball and the GS Ball. That's all there have been. I think they would make a useful addition, though. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|Fabu-Vinny]] 19:22, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

==TCG sections==
Shouldn't the page give hyper links to all of the Poké Balls featured in the cards? [[User:Mr. bell|Mr. Bell]] 08:49, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

== Hyper Ball in manga ==

Do you think it's worth mentioning in the "in the manga" section about the existance of the Hyper Ball? Ash attempts to use it in the EToP manga at the end of issue 4, and is apparently very expensive. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 02:48, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
:Isn't the Hyper Ball just the Japanese name of the Ultra Ball? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]{{ani|155|Fire echy}}[[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 03:00, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
::...yeah. It is. And it's rather expensive, too... [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 03:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

== Happiness Balls ==

Shouldn't there be a note about the increased Happiness rating that Luxury Balls and Friend Balls produce on captured Pokemon? Or is that just a myth that has no bearing on the game data?
:This is a good question, how come it wasn't answered? [[User:Felinoel|Felinoel]] 21:45, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

== Main Picture ==

Is an SSBM trophy really appropriate for the main picture on this article? I think it should be a plain Pokéball without the trophy base at the bottom - [[User:MTC|MTC]]

I think it looks a lot better, just a sharper image if you know what I mean. And it doesn't matter the source, a Poké Ball is a Poké Ball. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 19:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think the Same as MTC. It could be the picture of a Poké ball that is in the first opening possibly. [[user:David aipom|David aipom]]

As long as the picture illustrates on how the ball looks like in the anime and games (which it does), the it is acceptable. - [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 18:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Team Rocket Balls... ==

I clearly remember seeing black balls thrown by the head of Team Rocket in "Mewtwo's Return" feature length episode. Now it's a bit sad since I juest returned the darn video to the rental store and check on this which I saw just moments ago! From my poor memeory I think they were just black pokeballs with the typicial Team Rocket red R instead of red dot.

They were used to capture the running pokemon (Meoth, Pikachu and the cloned pokemons), though Mewtwo used it's psychich powers to release them, making them somewhat uninteresting...

Actually, I think you're thinking of the PokéBalls being thrown by the Team Rocket grunts at the herd of Tauros that Mewtwo was lifting with Psychic.[[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 02:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

== Ball Images ==

The large images are nice, I admit, but perhaps using sprites would make the tables look neater and, by having ones for the Safari, Ultra and Master Balls, more complete? Given time, I could even make modifications of the sprites for the Generation II Balls. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 20:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

== Replacing Images ==

I don't think that the current images for Hoenn Balls and Poke and Great Ball are nice. I think they're ugly imitations of Sugimori Artwork. I have a Sugimori Artworks for almost all PokeBalls (the Johto ones are bad-qualited, though) and I think they're much better. I think we should replace the current images with the Sugimori's ones.
:I dunno, I don't think the current ones look bad at all - just big, given how much they stretch the rows of the table. And how bad quality are you talking for the Johto ones? Call me a sprite fanatic, but I think the third generation item sprites would look best in the tables. The second generation ones would be missing, but, as I said, I could make some custom ones. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the anime Pokéball image, since it's so heavily pixelated... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
:Actually... now that I think of it, perhaps both of our concerns can be dealt with more easily than I thought. Hold on just a little bit... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 18:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== One big vs. many small ==
I've been talking with TTE. The idea of breaking some of the meat of this article up still bugs me on some level, but... well, might as well bring the idea to everyone.

The idea, basically, is to start having articles for groups of items as well as individual. This one, for example, would be moved to "Ball", and the lower section would link to the different articles on individual item types. If we do this for this one, we do it for all item groups...

Thoughts? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 02:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it'd be a good idea. After all, we have separate articles for every berry, why shouldn't we for Poké Balls and held items as well? Then, we could categorize them better, without having a gigantic page (which is what the page on [[held items]] is quickly becoming...).

:C'mon, anyone else? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 21:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

::Ooh, just had an idea. How about dividing the page into individual sections for each type of ball, going into detail about its catch rate, where it's able to be purchased, and so on? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 15:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

What is the increase of efficiency for a dive ball when you are capturing a water/bug hybrid?
:That's the Net Ball that raises the multiplier for Water or Bug Pokémon. Dive Ball in Gen III works better on Pokémon underwater, and in Gen IV works better on Pokémon you encounter while Surfing. Anyway, I think it doesn't stack, but I dunno. If it doesn't stack, it's as listed, but if it does, it's 9x.

== Sir Aaron's Staff and the passage of time within the ball. ==

Should Sir Aaron's Staff be considered a pre-pokéball object as well? Also, should it be noted about how time passes for pokémon contained within pokéballs? There have been a few instances where pokémon have spent of years, centuries even, within a pokéball/pokéball like object and not aging or feeling any sort of passage of time.

I think so, it is a method of capturing a Pokémon. <big>[[Image:Ani137MS.gif]][[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[Image:Ani233MS.gif]][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] [[Image:Ani474MS.gif]][[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]</big> 16:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

This is my fist post (or edit, I'm new)
The passage of time seems to vary between pokéball and pokéball like objects, when in pokéballs, pokémon seem to be conscious (as trainers give commands before releasing them) but don't physically age, but in some other pokéball like object, time passes as if there sleeping while there in the object. amaster6000 11:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:There is obviously very little passage of time in Aaron's staff; long enough for Lucario to stew in his rage, but quick enough apparently for him to still be blind. Also remember that most of those centuries-old Pokémon are usually special specimens--often a Psychic-type or something like [[Lokoko]].--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 14:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Opponent's only keep Pokémon in Poké Balls? ==

"In the games, all opponents keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls. The reason for this is unknown."

Whoever put this up, what is this supposed to mean? If you mean they always keep them in Balls, then it's false, because there are countless trainers in-game that let their Pokémon wander around, and in Colosseum and XD you can even battle them, but they'll go back into their Ball pre-battle.

I interpreted as the type of Ball, since it's true all opponents keep them in Poké Balls, not Ultra Balls or whatever, but since there's contention, I think some real clarification would be nice. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

In Phenac, a Peon is talking to his Absol before you battle him, and he uses the Absol in battle. In Agate Village, there is an old woman standing with a Mightyena and if you choose to battle her, she uses the Mightyena. Eagun also keeps his Pikachu out but still uses it to battle.

== The Safari and Park Balls ==

So I'm a bit confused here. In every generation there have been Safari Balls or Park Balls, yet we only have three images for Safari/Park Balls and no mention of their different appearances. There should exist:
Gen. 1: Safari Balls (no sprites exist but should have official artwork);
Gen. 2: Park Balls (GSC);
Gen. 3: Safari Balls (for Emerald and FRLG);
Gen. 4: Park Balls (DPP)*, Safari Balls (DP&P)*, Compé Balls (HGSS)*, plus possibly HGSS Safari Balls. (*We have these.)
I'd personally like to see a note on the page mentioning that there have been several different forms for Safari Ball, with pics if possible. (I seem to remember that Gen. 1 Safari Balls were green with a black "S" on them and that Gen. 3 had spikey orange designs on lime green.)

== Lucian's Comments ==

Well I was playing my Pokemon Platinum game one day and I saw Lucian in the Canalave Library, which surprised me. He told me that Pokemon instinctively curl into a ball to recuperate and that is why they'll be caught by a Pokeball. Unfortunately, I don't have his exact words. This event happened on a Thursday between 5 and 6pm and I had already beaten the Elite Four once. I didn't see anything about what he said on the Pokeball page and I didn't know if anyone else here has gotten to talk to Lucian at the library. It was interesting information but I didn't know if that should be added to the page or not. {{unsigned|Kitty}}

==Pikachu==
'''Even Ash's Pikachu, the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time outside with Ash, has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in Pokémon - I Choose You!.'''

I don't think this is even relevant - and it isn't proven that that Poké Ball is the Poké Ball Ash carries around, since Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Gary's Blastoise left their Poké Balls (which had Japanese writing on them a few times I've seen it, although they may have retconned it because I think I also saw an episode without it) on that podium in Oak's Lab. Also Gary's Blastoise is now held in a regular Poké Ball as seen when he battles Ash at the end of the Master Quest series.

I hope we're allowed to put up YouTube links in talk pages, but just to show you, here is EP001 where in the shot of the glass case opening, it shows on the empty Poké Balls of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle that there is writing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMNw7cPDYv8

Anyway, my point is that we shouldn't take it for face value that Ash uses that lightning-bolt marked Poké Ball, and also to ask if someone who is able can delete that comment in the beginning of the Anime section.

== New data from DFC ==

Apparently a user from the [http://www.dragonflycave.com/pokesite.aspx Cave of Dragonflies] hacked into the assembly data and decoded it (?? I don't know how that works, but whatever) and found that the actual [http://www.dragonflycave.com/capture.aspx catch rates] for some Balls (Dusk, Quick, Nest, Timer) are different to what the fandom has been parroting around. I've updated Dusk and Quick to match, but I've no idea how to fix the Nest and Timer catch rates. [[User:Frugali|Frugali]] 02:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

:Updated HG/SS Apricorn ball data has also been added there and I have edited the page to match; however, some sort of consensus must be reached on how to show the Nest and Timer Ball catch rates before they can be corrected, since they clearly can't be done the current way. --[[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] 06:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

::The timer ball catch rates are correct according to the website, "int(number of turns passed in battle + 10) / 10, maximum 4", using this you get the same catch rates described in this article when you mess about with number of turns in battle. Bear in mind "int" takes off the stuff after the decimal point from the number. So for example after 27 turns the calculation is int(27+10)/10 = 3.7 - take the point .7 and you're left with 3 - Just as the article says, you can try with other amounts of turns and it doesn't contradict what the article says.
::The nest ball is a bit of a problem though, "int(40 - Pokémon's level) / 10", the article says for pokemon under 19 it's x3 - but (40-19)/10 = 2.1 - int(2.1) is 2... The article also says that between and 20 29 it's x2, but int((40-25)/10) =1 This would imply that when the level is 10 and under it's x3, between 11 and 20 x2, and 21 and over x1 [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 01:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:::No; it can take on decimal values. Note that the division by 10 is not inside the parentheses. (...which means the int() is actually redundant since what's inside the parentheses is always an integer anyway; it was just a leftover from the old formulas and I just removed it.)

==Fast Ball==
Just wondering where Abra and Phanpy are coming from, as [http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346/gbc/poke-balls/ Pokémon Forever states] "If the wild Pokémon is Magnemite, Grimer, Tangela, Mr.Mime, Eevee, Porygon, Dratini, or Dragonair, then Catch Rate = Catch Rate * 4.0. Please note that while these Pokémon have a greater chance to catch, not all of them can be found in the wild."
[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 09:53, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm curious, too. I see various sites that say things like "Pokemon who can run away, like Teddiursa, Tangela, or Raikou", but the game stores a list of Pokemon whom the ball works better on, and that's what I used on PokéFor. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 21:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

In that case, somebody remove the two offending, untrue Pogeys?

And Abra really shouldn't be on that list, as it uses Teleport; it doesn't actually run away... [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 21:45, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Teleport counts, though. The quick ball worked on Abra.[[User:Nintendofan146B|Nintendofan146B]] 20:17, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Should Anime-only Balls be included in this? I'm thinking of the Dark Balls and whatever it was that Sammy used from movie 4--BJG

== Main Picture ==

Is an SSBM trophy really appropriate for the main picture on this article? I think it should be a plain Pokéball without the trophy base at the bottom - [[User:MTC|MTC]]

I think it looks a lot better, just a sharper image if you know what I mean. And it doesn't matter the source, a Poké Ball is a Poké Ball. [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 19:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think the Same as MTC. It could be the picture of a Poké ball that is in the first opening possibly. [[user:David aipom|David aipom]]

As long as the picture illustrates on how the ball looks like in the anime and games (which it does), the it is acceptable. - [[User:Vhayes1992|Vhayes1992]] 18:17, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

== Team Rocket Balls... ==

I clearly remember seeing black balls thrown by the head of Team Rocket in "Mewtwo's Return" feature length episode. Now it's a bit sad since I juest returned the darn video to the rental store and check on this which I saw just moments ago! From my poor memeory I think they were just black pokeballs with the typicial Team Rocket red R instead of red dot.

They were used to capture the running pokemon (Meoth, Pikachu and the cloned pokemons), though Mewtwo used it's psychich powers to release them, making them somewhat uninteresting...

Actually, I think you're thinking of the PokéBalls being thrown by the Team Rocket grunts at the herd of Tauros that Mewtwo was lifting with Psychic.[[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 02:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

== Ball Images ==

The large images are nice, I admit, but perhaps using sprites would make the tables look neater and, by having ones for the Safari, Ultra and Master Balls, more complete? Given time, I could even make modifications of the sprites for the Generation II Balls. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 20:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

== Replacing Images ==

I don't think that the current images for Hoenn Balls and Poke and Great Ball are nice. I think they're ugly imitations of Sugimori Artwork. I have a Sugimori Artworks for almost all PokeBalls (the Johto ones are bad-qualited, though) and I think they're much better. I think we should replace the current images with the Sugimori's ones.
:I dunno, I don't think the current ones look bad at all - just big, given how much they stretch the rows of the table. And how bad quality are you talking for the Johto ones? Call me a sprite fanatic, but I think the third generation item sprites would look best in the tables. The second generation ones would be missing, but, as I said, I could make some custom ones. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the anime Pokéball image, since it's so heavily pixelated... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
:Actually... now that I think of it, perhaps both of our concerns can be dealt with more easily than I thought. Hold on just a little bit... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 18:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== One big vs. many small ==
I've been talking with TTE. The idea of breaking some of the meat of this article up still bugs me on some level, but... well, might as well bring the idea to everyone.

The idea, basically, is to start having articles for groups of items as well as individual. This one, for example, would be moved to "Ball", and the lower section would link to the different articles on individual item types. If we do this for this one, we do it for all item groups...

Thoughts? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 02:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
:I think it'd be a good idea. After all, we have separate articles for every berry, why shouldn't we for Poké Balls and held items as well? Then, we could categorize them better, without having a gigantic page (which is what the page on [[held items]] is quickly becoming...).

:That's the Net Ball that raises the multiplier for Water or Bug Pokémon. Dive Ball in Gen III works better on Pokémon underwater, and in Gen IV works better on Pokémon you encounter while Surfing.

== Sir Aaron's Staff and the passage of time within the ball. ==

Should Sir Aaron's Staff be considered a pre-pokéball object as well? Also, should it be noted about how time passes for pokémon contained within pokéballs? There have been a few instances where pokémon have spent of years, centuries even, within a pokéball/pokéball like object and not aging or feeling any sort of passage of time.

I think so, it is a method of capturing a Pokémon. <big>[[Image:Ani137MS.gif]][[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[Image:Ani233MS.gif]][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] [[Image:Ani474MS.gif]][[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]</big> 16:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

This is my fist post (or edit, I'm new)
The passage of time seems to vary between pokéball and pokéball like objects, when in pokéballs, pokémon seem to be conscious (as trainers give commands before releasing them) but don't physically age, but in some other pokéball like object, time passes as if there sleeping while there in the object. amaster6000 11:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:There is obviously very little passage of time in Aaron's staff; long enough for Lucario to stew in his rage, but quick enough apparently for him to still be blind. Also remember that most of those centuries-old Pokémon are usually special specimens--often a Psychic-type or something like [[Lokoko]].--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 14:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

== Opponent's only keep Pokémon in Poké Balls? ==

"In the games, all opponents keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls. The reason for this is unknown."

Whoever put this up, what is this supposed to mean? If you mean they always keep them in Balls, then it's false, because there are countless trainers in-game that let their Pokémon wander around, and in Colosseum and XD you can even battle them, but they'll go back into their Ball pre-battle.

I interpreted as the type of Ball, since it's true all opponents keep them in Poké Balls, not Ultra Balls or whatever, but since there's contention, I think some real clarification would be nice. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
:I sure of seen some other ball somewhere, but thats besides the point. I interpreted it as in the case of Ash's Pikachu, not being in the pokeball, but battling in the anime, while the jigglypuff in yellow version and a machop in gold couldnt battle, but you could see the walking around[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

::::Yes, Greevil clearly commanded it to attack and it did, not to mention you had to use a Snag Ball to catch it, not a regular Ball like the wild Pokémon. There are other examples in that game. In Phenac, a Peon is talking to his Absol before you battle him, and he uses the Absol in battle. In Agate Village, there is an old woman standing with a Mightyena and if you choose to battle her, she uses the Mightyena. Eagun also keeps his Pikachu out but still uses it to battle.

:: You're all missing the point, I think that who first posted this was trying to say that when you battle another trainer they always send out their Pokémon in normal Poké Balls, you know, because I've never seen an in-game opponent sending out any Pokémon in a, say, Master Ball.

== The Safari and Park Balls ==

So I'm a bit confused here. In every generation there have been Safari Balls or Park Balls, yet we only have three images for Safari/Park Balls and no mention of their different appearances. There should exist:
Gen. 1: Safari Balls (no sprites exist but should have official artwork);
Gen. 2: Park Balls (GSC);
Gen. 3: Safari Balls (for Emerald and FRLG);
Gen. 4: Park Balls (DPP)*, Safari Balls (DP&P)*, Compé Balls (HGSS)*, plus possibly HGSS Safari Balls. (*We have these.)
I'd personally like to see a note on the page mentioning that there have been several different forms for Safari Ball, with pics if possible. (I seem to remember that Gen. 1 Safari Balls were green with a black "S" on them and that Gen. 3 had spikey orange designs on lime green.)

==Pikachu==
'''Even Ash's Pikachu, the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time outside with Ash, has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in Pokémon - I Choose You!.'''

I don't think this is even relevant - and it isn't proven that that Poké Ball is the Poké Ball Ash carries around, since Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Gary's Blastoise left their Poké Balls (which had Japanese writing on them a few times I've seen it, although they may have retconned it because I think I also saw an episode without it) on that podium in Oak's Lab. Also Gary's Blastoise is now held in a regular Poké Ball as seen when he battles Ash at the end of the Master Quest series.

I hope we're allowed to put up YouTube links in talk pages, but just to show you, here is EP001 where in the shot of the glass case opening, it shows on the empty Poké Balls of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle that there is writing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMNw7cPDYv8

Anyway, my point is that we shouldn't take it for face value that Ash uses that lightning-bolt marked Poké Ball, and also to ask if someone who is able can delete that comment in the beginning of the Anime section.

::The timer ball catch rates are correct according to the website, "int(number of turns passed in battle + 10) / 10, maximum 4", using this you get the same catch rates described in this article when you mess about with number of turns in battle. Bear in mind "int" takes off the stuff after the decimal point from the number. So for example after 27 turns the calculation is int(27+10)/10 = 3.7 - take the point .7 and you're left with 3 - Just as the article says, you can try with other amounts of turns and it doesn't contradict what the article says.
::The nest ball is a bit of a problem though, "int(40 - Pokémon's level) / 10", the article says for pokemon under 19 it's x3 - but (40-19)/10 = 2.1 - int(2.1) is 2... The article also says that between and 20 29 it's x2, but int((40-25)/10) =1 This would imply that when the level is 10 and under it's x3, between 11 and 20 x2, and 21 and over x1 [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 01:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:::No; it can take on decimal values. Note that the division by 10 is not inside the parentheses. (...which means the int() is actually redundant since what's inside the parentheses is always an integer anyway; it was just a leftover from the old formulas and I just removed it.)

== Variants in Electric Tale/Dengeki Pikachu ==

Though the article claims that there are no ball variants in this series, two of then have been seen (one original to the series, and one based on the games) in the chapter when Ash/Satoshi fought the Haunter to avenge Sabrina who fell victim to it:

The first one shown is the giant Poké Ball intended to capture the giant Haunter, first suggested by Ash (along the lines of "It's a giant Pokémon, right? So we need a giant Poké Ball to capture it!"). In the same chapter, he attempted to capture the weakened Haunter using a Hyper (Ultra) Ball, only to lose it when the Haunter self-destructed before the ball hit it.

This second name is so widespread that it is used even in the opening theme of the first season's anime. Since I'm not an expert in the site's guidelines, I didn't change the section because I'm not sure whether or not this can be added to the page.

==Fast Ball==
Just wondering where Abra and Phanpy are coming from, as [http://pokefor.greenchu.de/meowth346/gbc/poke-balls/ Pokémon Forever states] "If the wild Pokémon is Magnemite, Grimer, Tangela, Mr.Mime, Eevee, Porygon, Dratini, or Dragonair, then Catch Rate = Catch Rate * 4.0. Please note that while these Pokémon have a greater chance to catch, not all of them can be found in the wild."
[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 09:53, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm curious, too. I see various sites that say things like "Pokemon who can run away, like Teddiursa, Tangela, or Raikou", but the game stores a list of Pokemon whom the ball works better on, and that's what I used on PokéFor. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 21:09, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Team Rocket Balls... ==

I clearly remember seeing black balls thrown by the head of Team Rocket in "Mewtwo's Return" feature length episode. Now it's a bit sad since I juest returned the darn video to the rental store and check on this which I saw just moments ago! From my poor memeory I think they were just black pokeballs with the typicial Team Rocket red R instead of red dot.

They were used to capture the running pokemon (Meoth, Pikachu and the cloned pokemons), though Mewtwo used it's psychich powers to release them, making them somewhat uninteresting...

Actually, I think you're thinking of the PokéBalls being thrown by the Team Rocket grunts at the herd of Tauros that Mewtwo was lifting with Psychic.[[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] 02:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

== Replacing Images ==

I don't think that the current images for Hoenn Balls and Poke and Great Ball are nice. I think they're ugly imitations of Sugimori Artwork. I have a Sugimori Artworks for almost all PokeBalls (the Johto ones are bad-qualited, though) and I think they're much better. I think we should replace the current images with the Sugimori's ones.
:I dunno, I don't think the current ones look bad at all - just big, given how much they stretch the rows of the table. And how bad quality are you talking for the Johto ones? Call me a sprite fanatic, but I think the third generation item sprites would look best in the tables. The second generation ones would be missing, but, as I said, I could make some custom ones. Also, I'm not particularly fond of the anime Pokéball image, since it's so heavily pixelated... --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 01:36, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== One big vs. many small ==
I've been talking with TTE. The idea of breaking some of the meat of this article up still bugs me on some level, but... well, might as well bring the idea to everyone.

The idea, basically, is to start having articles for groups of items as well as individual. This one, for example, would be moved to "Ball", and the lower section would link to the different articles on individual item types. If we do this for this one, we do it for all item groups...

Thoughts? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 02:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

== Sir Aaron's Staff and the passage of time within the ball. ==

Should Sir Aaron's Staff be considered a pre-pokéball object as well? Also, should it be noted about how time passes for pokémon contained within pokéballs? There have been a few instances where pokémon have spent of years, centuries even, within a pokéball/pokéball like object and not aging or feeling any sort of passage of time.

I think so, it is a method of capturing a Pokémon. <big>[[Image:Ani137MS.gif]][[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[Image:Ani233MS.gif]][[User Talk:Tesh|'''TALK''']] [[Image:Ani474MS.gif]][[User:Tesh/Other|'''FUN''']]</big> 16:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

This is my fist post (or edit, I'm new)
The passage of time seems to vary between pokéball and pokéball like objects, when in pokéballs, pokémon seem to be conscious (as trainers give commands before releasing them) but don't physically age, but in some other pokéball like object, time passes as if there sleeping while there in the object. amaster6000 11:12, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
:There is obviously very little passage of time in Aaron's staff; long enough for Lucario to stew in his rage, but quick enough apparently for him to still be blind.

== Opponent's only keep Pokémon in Poké Balls? ==

"In the games, all opponents keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls. The reason for this is unknown."

Whoever put this up, what is this supposed to mean? If you mean they always keep them in Balls, then it's false, because there are countless trainers in-game that let their Pokémon wander around, and in Colosseum and XD you can even battle them, but they'll go back into their Ball pre-battle.

I interpreted as the type of Ball, since it's true all opponents keep them in Poké Balls, not Ultra Balls or whatever, but since there's contention, I think some real clarification would be nice. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:39, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
:I sure of seen some other ball somewhere, but thats besides the point. I interpreted it as in the case of Ash's Pikachu, not being in the pokeball, but battling in the anime, while the jigglypuff in yellow version and a machop in gold couldnt battle, but you could see the walking around[[User:DCM|DCM]][[User talk:DCM|((曲奇饼妖怪]][[Special:Contributions/DCM|Spy on My Edits))]]

::::Yes, Greevil clearly commanded it to attack and it did, not to mention you had to use a Snag Ball to catch it, not a regular Ball like the wild Pokémon. There are other examples in that game. In Phenac, a Peon is talking to his Absol before you battle him, and he uses the Absol in battle. In Agate Village, there is an old woman standing with a Mightyena and if you choose to battle her, she uses the Mightyena. Eagun also keeps his Pikachu out but still uses it to battle.

:: You're all missing the point, I think that who first posted this was trying to say that when you battle another trainer they always send out their Pokémon in normal Poké Balls, you know, because I've never seen an in-game opponent sending out any Pokémon in a, say, Master Ball.

== The Safari and Park Balls ==

So I'm a bit confused here. In every generation there have been Safari Balls or Park Balls, yet we only have three images for Safari/Park Balls and no mention of their different appearances. There should exist:
Gen. 1: Safari Balls (no sprites exist but should have official artwork);
Gen. 2: Park Balls (GSC);
Gen. 3: Safari Balls (for Emerald and FRLG);
Gen. 4: Park Balls (DPP)*, Safari Balls (DP&P)*, Compé Balls (HGSS)*, plus possibly HGSS Safari Balls. (*We have these.)
I'd personally like to see a note on the page mentioning that there have been several different forms for Safari Ball, with pics if possible. (I seem to remember that Gen. 1 Safari Balls were green with a black "S" on them and that Gen. 3 had spikey orange designs on lime green.)
Also, this might help when looking for refs... and inconsistencies: http://archives.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Safari_ball_issues.jpg

Well I was playing my Pokemon Platinum game one day and I saw Lucian in the Canalave Library, which surprised me. He told me that Pokemon instinctively curl into a ball to recuperate and that is why they'll be caught by a Pokeball. Unfortunately, I don't have his exact words. This event happened on a Thursday between 5 and 6pm and I had already beaten the Elite Four once. I didn't see anything about what he said on the Pokeball page and I didn't know if anyone else here has gotten to talk to Lucian at the library. It was interesting information but I didn't know if that should be added to the page or not. {{unsigned|Kitty}}

== Moon Ball? ==
Does this ball give the multiplier for just Nidorina, Nidorino, Jigglypuff, Clefairy, and Skitty, or to everyone in their respective families? Also, does it even give the multiplier to Skitty?--[[User:Bulbafreak9000|Bulbafreak9000]] 04:30, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
:Skitty evolves with the Moon Stone, so yes. It's not available in the wild, though, so the only way to ''legitimately'' get that bonus is to have a Ditto transform into one. And personally I always wondered if it gave the multiplier to the whole family... Doubt it in Gen II, stuff was primitive then, but in IV, I'd imagine so.

==Pikachu==
'''Even Ash's Pikachu, the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time outside with Ash, has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in Pokémon - I Choose You!.'''

I don't think this is even relevant - and it isn't proven that that Poké Ball is the Poké Ball Ash carries around, since Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Gary's Blastoise left their Poké Balls (which had Japanese writing on them a few times I've seen it, although they may have retconned it because I think I also saw an episode without it) on that podium in Oak's Lab. Also Gary's Blastoise is now held in a regular Poké Ball as seen when he battles Ash at the end of the Master Quest series.

I hope we're allowed to put up YouTube links in talk pages, but just to show you, here is EP001 where in the shot of the glass case opening, it shows on the empty Poké Balls of Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle that there is writing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMNw7cPDYv8

Anyway, my point is that we shouldn't take it for face value that Ash uses that lightning-bolt marked Poké Ball, and also to ask if someone who is able can delete that comment in the beginning of the Anime section.

== New data from DFC ==

Apparently a user from the [http://www.dragonflycave.com/pokesite.aspx Cave of Dragonflies] hacked into the assembly data and decoded it (?? I don't know how that works, but whatever) and found that the actual [http://www.dragonflycave.com/capture.aspx catch rates] for some Balls (Dusk, Quick, Nest, Timer) are different to what the fandom has been parroting around. I've updated Dusk and Quick to match, but I've no idea how to fix the Nest and Timer catch rates. [[User:Frugali|Frugali]] 02:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

:Updated HG/SS Apricorn ball data has also been added there and I have edited the page to match; however, some sort of consensus must be reached on how to show the Nest and Timer Ball catch rates before they can be corrected, since they clearly can't be done the current way. --[[User:Dragonfree|Dragonfree]] 06:28, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

::The timer ball catch rates are correct according to the website, "int(number of turns passed in battle + 10) / 10, maximum 4", using this you get the same catch rates described in this article when you mess about with number of turns in battle. Bear in mind "int" takes off the stuff after the decimal point from the number. So for example after 27 turns the calculation is int(27+10)/10 = 3.7 - take the point .7 and you're left with 3 - Just as the article says, you can try with other amounts of turns and it doesn't contradict what the article says.
::The nest ball is a bit of a problem though, "int(40 - Pokémon's level) / 10", the article says for pokemon under 19 it's x3 - but (40-19)/10 = 2.1 - int(2.1) is 2... The article also says that between and 20 29 it's x2, but int((40-25)/10) =1 This would imply that when the level is 10 and under it's x3, between 11 and 20 x2, and 21 and over x1 [[User:Jmvb|Jmvb]] 01:17, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
:::No; it can take on decimal values. Note that the division by 10 is not inside the parentheses. (...which means the int() is actually redundant since what's inside the parentheses is always an integer anyway; it was just a leftover from the old formulas and I just removed it.)

== Love Ball and non/neutral-gender pokemon? ==

so apparently [[Mew]] learns [[Attract]] at some level and it only works on other non-gender pokemon, would the same kind of thing apply where you have a non-gender pokemon out and use a love ball on another non-gender pokemon? --[[User:Shadofrak|Shadofrak]] 00:47, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
:Mew can learn attract by TM45. It always fails. Now use the link templates. {{p|Mew}}, {{m|Attract}}. As for Love Balls, 1× catch rate. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:50, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
::This trivia suggests otherwise, so one of us (as in Bulbapedia members) is wrong. "Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn Attract and Captivate; however, when used by Mew, they will fail ''unless'' the opposing Pokémon is also genderless."

== Variants in Electric Tale/Dengeki Pikachu ==

Though the article claims that there are no ball variants in this series, two of then have been seen (one original to the series, and one based on the games) in the chapter when Ash/Satoshi fought the Haunter to avenge Sabrina who fell victim to it:

The first one shown is the giant Poké Ball intended to capture the giant Haunter, first suggested by Ash (along the lines of "It's a giant Pokémon, right? So we need a giant Poké Ball to capture it!"). In the same chapter, he attempted to capture the weakened Haunter using a Hyper (Ultra) Ball, only to lose it when the Haunter self-destructed before the ball hit it.

== Mistake in the Trivia section ==

In the trivia section it says that in all other languages the names of the poké balls are always related to the term "ball", but it's not true: in italian, infact, even though the name of the item in the videogames is poké ball, they're also called "sfere poké" (poké spheres). This second name is so widespread that it is used even in the opening theme of the first season's anime. Since I'm not an expert in the site's guidelines, I didn't change the section because I'm not sure whether or not this can be added to the page. Can anybody who is a little bit more experienced than me do this correction, if it's a proper one??? --[[User:Melograno|Melograno]] 14:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

'''Shū''' (Japanese: '''シュウ'''), is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] that specializes in capturing wild [[Pokémon]]. He is the main character of the [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

Shū uses a device called the [[In-Com]], a headset which was created by [[Shū's father|his father]] that lets him talk to his Pokémon. He also uses a [[Pokédex]].

He has a terrible aim and frenquently misses his targets when throwing Poké Balls.

Shū is enthusiastic and often comes up with bizarre but effective schemes for capturing wild Pokémon, such as dressing up in giant Pokémon suits. He is especially loyal towards his Pokémon, although his {{TP|Shū|Pikachu}} is willful and will refuse orders. His rival is [[Tomio]].

Shū met his Pikachu when he found Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]] abandoned in a forest. Apparently, the Poké Ball had become defective and was releasing Pikachu's electricity everywhere. Shū was able to fight against the current and release Pikachu, after which they became partners. Even though they are close friends, they argue constantly.

==Pokémon==
Unlike in most other Pokémon canon, Shū does not seem to have a limit on the number of Pokémon he may carry with him.

Photography

2011-01-06T23:00:16Z

WenGobou: /* In the manga */

[[File:HGSS Party Photo.png|frame|A photo of Ethan with a [[party]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.]]
The concept of '''photography''' has appeared in many Pokémon games as well as in the TCG, manga, and anime. Starting with its introduction in the game [[Pokémon Snap]], photography has appeared in several other games since.

==In the games==
===Main series===
====Pokémon Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Crystal====
{{game|Yellow}}, {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} are compatible with the [[Game Boy Printer]] accessory. By talking to a character labeled as a "photographer," players are able to print out stats of any Pokémon in their party. Also in Gold, Silver and Crystal, although photography isn't mentioned, there is a [[mail]] called Portrait Mail that has the silhouette of the Pokémon holding it as its design.

====Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen====
At the [[Rocket Game Corner]] in [[Celadon City]], there is a "'''Pokémon Printer'''" where a player may have their current party photographed and displayed on the back of the {{ga|Trainer card}} for a fee of {{pdollar}}50. The photos can be taken in four different colors: normal, black, pink, or sepia.

====Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum====
The player can get a picture of his/her Pokémon taken with [[Accessory|Accessories]] on in [[Jubilife City]] at the [[Jubilife TV]] building. This is also done when a player's Pokémon wins a [[Pokémon Super Contest]], but only when the rank of that contest type has not already been achieved.

====Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver====
[[File:HGSS Photo.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Lyra}} and {{p|Slowbro}} taking a picture with [[Professor Oak]]]]
[[File:HGSS Photographer.png|thumb|right|Cameron in the [[Dragon's Den]]]]
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are many areas in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] where the player may take photos of {{ga|Ethan|him}}/{{ga|Lyra|her}}self and their [[Walking Pokémon|partner]], although the player will often be able to photograph themselves with their entire party. These photos are recorded in a photo album, which stores up to 36 photos in the [[PC]]. After the player gets the {{badge|Plain}}, a man named Cameron will periodically be found in both regions at varying times. He will take pictures of the player's party and the surrounding area. Cameron's house is in [[Cianwood City]], which has an automatic camera beside it for use at all times; however, Cameron cannot be found here.

===In side games===
====Pokémon Snap====
In {{g|Snap}}, the entire game is based around the concept of photography. In Pokémon Snap, the player (as [[Todd Snap]]) must take the best possible photographs of the 63 Pokémon findable on [[Pokémon Island]] for [[Professor Oak]]'s [[Pokémon Report]].

The player controls the [[camera]] from a first-person perspective. To view through the camera lens, the player must hold the "Z" button. The shutter button is operated with the "A" button. In the game, the player can receive tools to aid their picture-taking such as [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s, and the [[Poké Flute]].

For a period of time after the release of Pokémon Snap, '''Pokémon Snap Sticker Stations''' were available at {{wp|Blockbuster (movie rental store)|Blockbuster Video}} stores, which allowed a player to print out their photos on stickers for $3. These Sticker Stations were available in the United States and Canada. In the [[Wii]] [[Virtual Console]] version, players can post them to the Wii's Address book.

====Pokémon Stadium====
In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, there is a "Gallery" mode where players can take photographs of their Pokémon. A player may photograph Pokémon from their [[Generation I]] [[Game Boy]] game (using the [[Transfer Pak]]) or they may photograph the game's [[rental Pokémon]]. The controls are identical to that of Pokémon Snap, but without the extra items such as the [[Pester Ball]]s. Photos taken in Gallery Mode could be printed on stickers at the Pokémon Snap Sticker Stations.

====My Pokémon Ranch====
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], players are able to take photos of their Pokémon during any of the random ranch events (such as the Clock and the Totem Pole) or when they are playing with any of the toys that a player may buy for their Pokémon. The quality of the photo can be increased with the "Focus Lock" function. 

====PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Great Adventure====
PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Great Adventure gives the player the ability to take pictures from the game similar to previous Wii and WiiWare games.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====
Players of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] are able to take pictures of certain battle scenes in Camera Mode. Photos take up 4-12 blocks from the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] memory card. Camera Mode requires two controllers - player 2 takes a photo of player 1's battle.

====Super Smash Bros. Brawl====
[[File:SSBB Photography.png|thumb|left|A snapshot of two {{p|Ivysaur}} in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Players of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] may also to take pictures of certain battle scenes if the game is paused. Photographs typically take 1 block of memory from either the [[Wii]]'s memory or from the SD Card memory. Photos taken in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] can be transferred to a personal computer and converted to JPEGs using various programs or websites available online. The players can also take pictures of stages they created.

==In the anime==
[[File:EP055.png‎|thumb|250px|right|[[Todd Snap]] and his camera in the anime]]
Photography has also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}. The first appearance of photography in the anime was in the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', where {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} took a picture of {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}. [[Todd Snap]] debuted in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]'', which aired shortly after the release of Pokémon Snap. In the episode, [[Team Rocket]] hires photographer Todd Snap to "capture" {{AP|Pikachu}}, not realizing that Todd means to capture Pikachu ''on film''. Todd appears in a number of subsequent episodes, in which he tries to photograph other Pokémon, including the legendary {{p|Articuno}}.

Photography also appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where a [[Block Bot]] took pictures of {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|co.}} for passport IDs.

Photography appears again in the episode ''[[DP046|A Maze-ing Race!]]'', where Team Rocket tries to take a group picture of Ash's, Dawn's, and Brock's Pokémon in exchange for a map. In ''[[DP103|Jumping Rocket Ship!]]'', Team Rocket disguise themselves as photographers in an attempt to capture the Pokémon of {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

In [[BW001]], Ash meets another Pokémon photographer, [[Shooti]], who likes to take photographs of Pokémon he has never seen before.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, [[Todd Snap]] appeared in the {{chap|Emerald}} as a reporter. At the end of the chapter, after looking at Todd's pictures of the events at the Battle Frontier, [[Professor Oak]] asked him if he could work with him and if he could go to an [[Pokémon Island|island where there are lots of Pokémon]], and take pictures of them.

===[[Pokémon Battle Frontier]]===
In the Pokémon Battle Frontier manga, [[Salon Maiden Anabel|Anabel]] is disguised as a photographer taking photographs around the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}.

===[[Pokémon Get da ze!]]===
[[Shū]] once took part in Pokémon photography competition. He was lent a camera to take part but thought he had used his last shot stunning an {{p|Ekans}} to save the {{p|Pidgey}} eggs it was about to eat. He won, however, thanks to his {{p|Slowbro}} who used the last shot to take a picture of the hatched Pidgey while he had his back turned.

==In the TCG==
[[File:PikachuWizards.jpg|180px|right|thumb|The only English [[Pokémon Snap]] card]]
Though not prevalent, photography has appeared throughout the TCG multiple times. The first times were the [[CoroCoro Pokémon Snap Contest]] and the [[Nintendo 64 Pokémon Snap Contest]]. Entries consisted of pictures snapped from [[Pokémon Snap]]. Ten entries were chosen, and the entries were used on extremely rare reprints. The exact number of these cards is unknown.

{{TCG ID|CoroCoro|Imakuni?|promo}}, {{TCG ID|Fan Club|Poké Dude|promo}} and {{TCG ID|Battle Road|Top 4 Trainers|promo}} are the only three cards using actual photographs of people ([[Tomoaki Imakuni]], [[Hironobu Yoshida]] and the top 4 senior champions of the Spring Battle Road in 2002, respectively) and were released as promotional cards.

The {{TCG|Pokémon Rumble}} card collection also used photography as illustrations for the cards. This nineteen card collection was released in conjunction with [[Pokémon Rumble]], and used screenshots from the game as their illustration. They were not credited with the normal ''Illus. by [...]'', but simply as ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]''.

Any cards with a Pokémon Pikachu copyright are considered to be photographs of the anime. These copyrights have been used for movie promotions ever since 2003, and are mostly used to represent anime characters or their Pokémon.

==Trivia==
*Cameron can be found at [[Mt. Silver]], a location only highly skilled Trainers are permitted; this suggests that he is a highly skilled Trainer.

[[File:Shus father.jpg|thumb|right|Shū's father and his Mewtwo]]
'''Shū's father''' is a character from the [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] {{pkmn|manga}} series.

[[Shū]]'s father left home for five years to try and capture {{p|Mew}}, but was never successful. He did, however, capture {{p|Mewtwo}}.

Shū's father is also an accomplished inventor and is the creator of the [[In-Com]] device.

He wanted to name Shū ''{{p|Mew}}'' but gave up because his wife disagreed.

Shū once claimed his father used him as bait for catching his Pokémon, made him pass an intelligence test at the same time as a {{p|Slowpoke}} and made him eat Pokémon food.

[[File:Translation_device.jpg‎|right|thumb|Masatoshi wearing his hood-like translation device]]
The '''In-Com''' is a headset device that allows Shū to talk to his {{TP|Shū|Pikachu}}. It is only seen in the {{pkmn|manga}} [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

In the manga, the main character [[Shū]] is the only character to own a In-Com. It was invented by [[Shū's father|his father]] and he himself does not know how well it works.

The character Masatoshi is able to communicate with his Meowth throught a hood with with two Meowth ears.
