Talk:Breaking the fourth wall

2012-04-24T22:57:39Z

Wildgoose: /*Musharna's album*/

== Preventing Deletion ==

I had figured this would happen, however, I would like for anyone to bear with me when it comes to this page, as I seemingly made it a 2:00 AM, when I couldn't sleep. I am planning on at least making a list of episodes that break the fourth wall, but If I do not find enough relevance I will stop fighting its deletion. So please bear with me [[User:LinkSlayerPKMN|LinkSlayerPKMN]] 18:42, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
:I don't see how this associates with Pokemon, though. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 18:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
::Because they ''do'' break the fourth wall sometimes in Pokémon, maybe? {{u|Pokémon Lover King Mario}} 21:11, 5 April 2008 (GMT +01)
:::That's exactly what I'm getting at. I'd like to make this site a bit more navigable, and I'm starting by adding a couple pages. [[User:LinkSlayerPKMN|LinkSlayerPKMN]] 21:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
::::It might be more appropriate to just have a list of times the fourth wall is broken, along with a brief definition of the phrase, rather than a page for the phrase itself. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]] 21:17, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
:::::Isn't that essentialy what this is? (mind the list part, I'm woring on it, but my computer is having problems playing the shows.) Oh, I would also like to ask, does this Wiki support redirects?, I have tried making one, but the page does not display as it should, and thereby, won't work. [[User:LinkSlayerPKMN|LinkSlayerPKMN]] 22:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

:::::::{{tt|Most|if not all}} of the breaks are from Team Rocket in the anime (I think it says something about it in the Running Gags section of the Team Rocket page.)

I think that a category would be more appropriate in this case; the only episodes I can remember in which the fourth wall is broken are the one mentioned and the second movie. [[User:Vekter|Vekter]] 16:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

::::What I ''meant'' was that the page should be renamed '''List of times the fourth wall is broken''', or something similar. If you didn't want to include fourth-wall breaks in all media (the Game Freak staff in the games comes to mind), you could say '''List of times the fourth wall is broken in the anime''', although that's even longer. I think the page would fit in better on Bulbapedia as a list than a definition. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Talk))]] 23:09, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

== EP026 ==

In [[EP026]], the Celadon Gym episode, Jessie and James were exclaming about a bad smelling Pokémon (I can't remember if it was {{p|Koffing}} or {{p|Gloom}} or both) and Meowth remarks that his nose melted off. He then goes on to say that the animators never drew him a nose. If anyone has more info on this, it can be added as well. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:07, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

:Coincidentally I was just watching the episode on my laptop and at the point where the fourth wall was broken I decided to add it to the list, then I read this, wow what a coincidence. Anyway, so yeah, its been added [[User:Wikid|Wikid]] 15:00, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

==English Version or Universal?==

Team Rocket have been known to break the fourth wall many times in the English version when the Rocket-dan don't in the Japanese version. Is break the fourth wall really an attribute of the original anime, or is it just something that 4Kids did quite often? [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 17:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

In the second film we can see Team Rocket and Slowking looking at us[[User:Portuguese Old Man|Portuguese Old Man]] 18:29, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

:That doesn't prove anything. I want to know clear examples of Kojiro, Musashi, and Nyarth breaking the fourth wall. As far as I see this right now, this should be listed as a dub-only article. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 00:04, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

In the episode in which Bruno appears, Meowth uses a remote to fast forward the motto[[User:Portuguese Old Man|Portuguese Old Man]] 20:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

== Doc Brock ==

Is that really a forth wall break? It seems more like them just recalling they forgot Gliscor,and the narrator just stopping [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 21:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:No, it isn't breaking the fourth wall. I just removed it, so let's see if others agree. ''[[User:ShinjiLover|シンジ]]'''''[[Paul|Shinji]]'''[[User talk:ShinjiLover|Lover]],'''[[Special:Contributions/ShinjiLover|Edits]]''' 22:07, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

== [[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]] ==

I thought about in episode 112 where Ash fights [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Team Rocket appears and there's a scene split where Drake asks how they dare interrupt the battle. Then Jessie pushes Drake's half of the split scene away, thus, she is aware of that the scene is split. [[User:Voyage|Voyage]] 15:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

==[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine]]==
In DP092, Team Rocket says "Introduce it to the kids". "The kids" refers to the viewers. This is the scene when Team Rocket shows us their new mecha.
Love,
[[User:Mimitchi33|Mimitchi33]]

:They don't mean the viewers. I have a tape recorder and on the fith time watching it I noticed Meowth point at Ash, so it is unlikely they mean the viewers. [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 13:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

==[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]==
In DP108, Meowth breaks the fourth wall which needs to be added, I don't have an exact quote though. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 23:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
:Nevermind, got added.-[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 23:58, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

== [[EP242|As Clear as Crystal]] ==

Are you sure they break the fourth wall in this episode?
It seems to me like they're talking to Ash, Brock, and Misty instead of the viewers.. [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 22:16, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
==Arceus and the Jewel of Life==
I know you're thinking "Uh-Oh, this isn't true" but look at the movie really closely. When Team Rocket have the Jewel of Life, near the end it disappears. Then in the seen after they are disappointed a Person who looks like Lucas (the male character in GenIV) is in the background with a glailie. Look closely. Should I add it? If you want a screenshot i'll try and get one. [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 13:35, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
:It breaks the wall by possibly pointing out there is a world outside the anime, referring to the games? [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 16:53, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
::Haven't seen the movie yet, but what you're describing isn't breaking the fourth wall by any means.

==Beating the hustle and bustle==
In this episode when the pokeballs are stolen Meowth says "okay, who flipped the script?". Is that considered breaking the fourth wall? If it is can someone add it.[[User:Ashanddawn4evr|Ashanddawn4evr]] 05:31, 17 February 2010 (UTC)[[User:ashanddawn4evr|ashanddawn4evr]]

#'''Keep'''. However I do agree that the first item is not really breaking the fourth wall as they are clearly in-game characters. By my definition, which may or may not be correct, breaking the fourth wall includes any incident in which the game universe acknowledges the outside world e.g. recognising that the game was created by developers or that the player needs to know how to use the menu. The menu only exists outside the game universe (again this is debatable) therefore any reference to it is breaking the fourth wall.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 20:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
#--[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 21:16, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' They are both examples of breaking the fourth wall so they should be in the article. The only issue here is that you guys haven't been to [[Celadon Mansion]] in a while. They are the developers, not random NPCs. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 08:30, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

:Yes we do. This is what prevents edit wars from getting out of hand.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 20:28, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
::We need discussion, not straw polls. And yes, the "developer rooms" are blatently breaking the fourth wall. (Doesn't one of those guys say "I made you" in one of the games.) Tips on using the controller can also count, especially in NPC dialogue. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 08:05, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

== Game Freak Employees ==

Do they say the same thing in all games that feature Celadon Mansion or does it change slightly? What we have here is correct for FRLG, but if it changes from game to game we should perhaps specify the version we are quoting.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 08:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:That's from FireRed but I've checked Yellow, Gold and Emerald and they basically give the same dialogue in all four. (The "I drew you" line isn't in Emerald and the Story Writer fantasises about different girls each gen but other than that it's the same.) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 08:50, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
::Excellent. Just checking. Thanks for getting involved in this disagreement.--[[User:Beligaronia|Beligaronia]] ([[User talk:Beligaronia|talk]]) 08:56, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

== Pokemon ranger ==

I was playing Pokemon Ranger, and i thought of two submissions. First, during some mission (i forgot which) Professor Hastings says, "lets review our optiosn! And by options, i don't mean some silly text settings!". This could be a reference to the text settings under "options" in the Pokeranger game. It may not be that notable, but i was just checking to see if it is. The second one is, before you meet Spencer in Fall City, someone says they can tell that it is/isn't your first time here, depending on whether you move around with the touch screen or the D-pad, and says he uses the stylus because he is from the "touch generation". Are either of them notable? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 19:05, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
:I'll leave the first one for someone else to decide because I'm not sure, but the second one's probably notable. I remember that whole "touch generations" thing.. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 19:17, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Someone is claiming that Spenser said that "touch generation" thing, when it was actually just a random NPC if i remember correctly. [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 21:26, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== Beach Blank-Out Blastoise! ==

Didn't Misty say that she looked like a cartoon character and Ash replied, "A cartoon character! Like that could ever happen!"

Should this be added? {{unsigned|Golden Sandslash15}}
:I don't think it should be added. It just means they have cartoons in their world. It's [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]]! [[User talk:Turtwig A|My talk]] or [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|wiki edits]] 00:14, 8 October 2010 (UTC)
::That is another ''leaning on the fourth wall'', where they allude to that fact that they are fictional without actually stating it. Unfortunately, some of those make it onto this page because there is no page for them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:23, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Kind of starting up an old conversation here but it does say on the article that they ''break'' the fourth wall [[User:Juzey|Juzey]][[Shaymin (Pokémon)|!!]] ''([[User talk:Juzey|Talk]])'' 16:48, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

== Graphic Designer ==

In my Heartgold game the graphic designer says "I'm the graphic designer. I'm a skilled dot artist" instead of "I'm the graphic designer. I drew you". [[User:Pgj1997|Pgj1997]] 16:16, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

== Lip Flap reference? ==

I remember watching an episode of the dub where Team Rocket make a joke about the "lip flap" that the dubbers record the English dialogue over, but I forgot which episode it was. It was probably one of the Advanced Generation episodes. Anyone know which episode this is or if it's mentioned somewhere on here? --[[User:Nick102|Nick102]] 01:35, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

==Musharna's album==

In [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], {{p|Musharna}} says that she found an album that was full of names and pictures. Musharna is talking about the credits. Wouldn't that be considered breaking the fourth wall?

'''Brock's Sudowoodo''' (Japanese: '''タケシのウソッキー''' ''Takeshi's Usokkie'') was the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{an|Brock}} in [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|the Battle Frontier saga]]; at the time, he was a {{p|Bonsly}}.

==History==
[[File:Brock Bonsly.png|thumb|220px|left|As a {{p|Bonsly}}]]
===Kanto Battle Frontier===
Brock captured Bonsly in the episode ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', while {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]] and himself were training at a ninja school in the [[Kanto]] {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

Brock entered Bonsly in a [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG167|What I Did for Love!]]'', using him in the [[Appeals round]].

===Sinnoh===
When Brock joined up with Ash in [[Sinnoh]], Bonsly was the only Pokémon he brought with him. Bonsly had shown signs of maturation, eventually learning the [[move]] {{m|Mimic}} in ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born!]]''. In [[DP014|the next episode]], after being captured by {{TRT}}, Bonsly [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Sudowoodo}} to help free Brock and a {{p|Nuzleaf}}, defeating [[James's Carnivine]] in a {{pkmn|battle}}.

He has also shown a significant increase in his power and battling skills. Instead of being needy and heavily reliant on Brock's care, Sudowoodo is eager to help Brock in almost any task. In almost all regards, he has grown from a typical [[baby Pokémon]] into a strong adult Pokémon, a true testament to Brock's talents as a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. He also has an odd tendency to {{wp|salute}} Brock whenever he is called from his [[Poké Ball]].

[[File:Brock Sudowoodo Rock Head.png|thumb|200px|left|Rock Head activated]]
In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', he was used in a tag battle along with Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} against [[Roman]] and his Snorlax and [[Kylie]] and her Munchlax. He was able to defeat Munchlax with a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}} while Pikachu was able to defeat Snorlax with a powerful {{m|Volt Tackle}}, both doing so in only one hit. Thanks to the great teamwork of these two, Ash and Brock were able to win the battle quite easily.

In ''[[DP130|Frozen on Their Tracks!]]'', he was shown to have learned {{m|Hammer Arm}} while fighting against Team Rocket.

He was seen helping Ash train his {{AP|Infernape}} in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''. With this training Infernape was able to learn {{m|Flare Blitz}}, which was so strong, it accidentally knocked out Sudowoodo in the process.

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', he fought alongside [[Brock's Croagunk|Croagunk]] against [[Goone]]'s two [[Scizor]].

Brock used Sudowoodo in a battle against a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[SS025]]. However, he was caught off guard when Chansey used {{m|Attract}}. Because of his {{status|infatuation}}, Chansey easily defeated him. It was later seen cheering on [[Forrest]] when he battled the same Nurse Joy and helped Brock aid in helping Forrest's {{p|Rhyperior}} recover. Along with [[Lola]]'s Marill, it serves as playmates of Brock's siblings.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Brock Sudowoodo Happiny.png|thumb|right|200px|{{TP|Brock|Happiny}} and Sudowoodo relaxing in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'']]
Being much younger than the other Pokémon, Bonsly was portrayed as needy and child-like, and Brock was often seen bottle-feeding him until it could eat solid food. Since his evolution, he has matured and is no longer a crybaby. In fact, he is very upbeat, as seen in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go!]]'' when he recovered from a crushing disappointment almost instantly.

Bonsly occasionally took over from Max in getting Brock away from girls. However, rather than pull his ear, Bonsly hit him with a powerful {{m|Double-Edge}}. He apparently did not want to share Brock, his "parent."

Since Brock brought another baby Pokémon onto his team by hatching [[Brock's Chansey|Happiny]] from the egg he won in the [[Pokémon Cosplay]] [[DP033|competition]], Sudowoodo seems to have bonded with her, and the two frequently are featured doing activities together, almost as if Sudowoodo is an older sibling.

* For ''[[DP019|Twice Smitten, Once Shy!]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Brock's Sudowoodo. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: しんかして　もうなかないよ　ウソッキー ''You've evolved, so don't cry anymore, {{tt|Usokkie|Sudowoodo}}.''
* As a Bonsly, he was the only Pokémon owned by a {{ashfr|main character}} that didn't eat [[Pokémon food]], since Brock always fed it with a bottle. However, he did begin eating Pokémon food before he evolved in ''[[DP014|Leave It to Brocko!]]''.
* Sudowoodo is the only Pokémon to date that Brock captured onscreen through the standard method by battling it first.
* Despite the fact that Brock was specialized to {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon as a [[Gym Leader]], Bonsly was the first new Rock-type Pokémon in his [[party|team]] since his [[EP005|debut]], which was 425 episodes before Bonsly was caught.

'''Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンレンジャーバトナージ''' ''Pokémon Ranger Vatonage'') is an action-adventure game for the Nintendo DS and the sequel to {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. It was released in Japan on March 20, 2008, and it was released in America on November 10, 2008.

The game is set in a new region called [[Almia]] where the base of operations is a Ranger School that the main characters have just graduated from. The selection of partner Pokémon has risen from solely {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} to a choice between 17 different species. Additionally, there are several side quests and a card collection system used to power up the [[Capture Styler]].

Special missions can be downloaded from the Nintendo Wi-Fi service by using the [[Ranger Net]].

==Basic information==
* It takes place in the region of [[Almia]]. In the story, the player character starts out as a student in a Pokémon Ranger School. After a few tasks, he or she then graduates.
* The player can choose to play as a male or a female protagonist. Players can choose the name of their protagonist, the defaults of which are [[Kellyn]] (male) and {{ra|Kate}} (female).
* The game features [[Generation IV]] Pokémon.
* The player will have a selectable Pokémon partner. After doing certain quests, the player can choose if he or she wants the Pokémon to come with them. Selectable partners include {{P|Munchlax}}, {{P|Turtwig}}, {{P|Chimchar}}, {{P|Piplup}}, {{P|Kricketot}}, {{P|Mime Jr.}}, {{P|Cranidos}}, {{P|Shieldon}}, {{P|Croagunk}}, {{P|Machop}}, {{P|Pachirisu}}, {{P|Starly}}, {{P|Hippopotas}}, {{P|Snover}}, {{P|Misdreavus}}, {{P|Sneasel}}, and {{P|Gible}}. They can be changed by talking to them in the player's family farm south of the player's house. It should be noted that each Pokémon is of one of the 17 [[type]]s of Pokémon, and that each Pokémon has a different length of a Partner Energy bar. The partner's energy may also be filled faster when it is in a happy mood, signaled by black or multicolored music notes rising above it.
* The [[villainous team]] is named [[Team Dim Sun]] (Japanese: '''ヤミヤミ団''' ''Team {{tt|Yamiyami|Darkness darkness}}).
* [[Team Dim Sun]] uses computers called Miniremo Units to hypnotize Pokémon and put them under their control.
* The game has sixty optional, non-story-progressing missions called Quests where the player helps citizens of Almia.
* A player may only take on one quest at a time.
* When a player completes each quest, they get a power boost to their [[Capture styler]].
* Quests are divided into two types - Pokémon befriending and Quests that players receive a power boost for their Capture styler.
*After capturing the first 266 Pokémon in the Browser, the player can go up against {{p|Regigigas}}. The player must currently have in their party {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}}. Regigigas is found in a quicksand pit, hidden in the [[Hippowdon Temple]].
* A system of collectible cards can power up the Capture Styler.
* The player is able to ride on Pokémon in some environments, including lava, rivers and icy waters.
* There are four Pokémon that a player can ride on to progress to other locations - {{p|Empoleon}}, {{p|Floatzel}}, {{p|Doduo}}, and {{p|Staraptor}}.
* There were three Pokémon unlocked in this game by ''Special Missions'' in [[Ranger Net]], in the vein of the {{p|Manaphy}} {{pkmn|Egg}} mission in the prequel. These missions are no longer available. The Pokémon available were a Manaphy egg, a {{p|Riolu}} with {{m|Aura Sphere}} and {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Dark Void}}.
* In addition to the aforementioned special missions, there is another group of missions called ''extra missions''. The rare Pokémon encountered during these missions are {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Shaymin}} (Land Forme). Unlike in the special missions, the Pokémon captured in extra missions are not allowed to be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{v2|Platinum}}.
* The game can utilize the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection for unlocking both special and extra missions, but only for a limited period of time. They won't work for different regions, only the specific game version when the event is held.
*Special Missions can be repeated but sending the Pokémon can only be done once. This is an improvement over the original, as replaying the Manaphy mission only played a cutscene in which Lunick, Solana, and the Professor's assistant discuss Manaphy.
*A [[Capture Arena]] is available after the game for players to hone their skills.

==Plot==
The game begins with the player learning how to use a capture stylus by first capturing a {{p|Pikachu}}. After having caught the Pokémon you are told that you passed with flying colors and led to the classroom of your new school. You are then introduced to [[Kevin]] and [[Rhythmi]]. While Kevin brags he is slightly better than the player [[Ms. April]] asks Rhythmi to show the new ranger student around the school. After exploring all the possible rooms in the building you get to go outside and go over to the Training Grounds building where Rhythmi asks [[Mr. Kaplan]] and [[Ms. Claire]] to show the player the basics of capturing a Pokémon and how to clear a target by getting help from the Pokémon with the correctly required [[ability]].

Right as you finish your lessons you find that [[Janice]] needs help getting the {{p|Bidoof}} rounded up and calmed down again. Keith comes out acting arrogant and still behaving as if he is better and does not state the player's name, simply asking what it was again. Keith turns it into a competition and to see who can get the most captured. After only getting four of them, the roundup is done and Keith will get one more than the player saying their name. Rhythmi criticizes him for having known it but not saying it. Janice apologizes to the leader of the Bidoof for stepping on their tail and promises to give them better food than usual for the day.

After that the player goes to their respective dorm room depending on the gender of their character. They soon leave the room with Kevin/Rhythmi and meet the one they didn't walk out with saying that the one that the player walked out with kept them waiting. They give the player an initiation test to be accepted. The person the player sat beside has to go with them to gather the stylers that were hidden around in the rooms. After gathering all four of them, the player and Keith are asked to go leave them downstairs in front of the lab door down there.

Keith keeps getting more and more scared saying he heard something. Right before the player can leave the stylers at the door however, a group of {{p|Gastly}} attack the player and Keith with the player having to capture all four of them by their self. Right as the battle is over, [[Kincaid]] comes out yelling at them and asking what they are doing down there. The next day Mr. Kincaid interrupts class saying the stylers from the Staff Room are all gone and accuses Keith of taking them.

After looking around a little investigating, the player and Rhythmi go outside and down the stairs and find the real culprit is someone who went into the school the night before wanting to be a Ranger and having a styler but instead had wound up grabbing them all out of greed. Ms. April invites him to go to school so he can be one but seeing he has a greedy nature simply asks the man to go home and think of what he wishes to do with his life before doing anything else.

The next day you have a 1-day internship and accept your first mission. After going to the next town over and delivering the ''very important parcel'' to the rangers, it turns out to simply be lunch and they admit it was simply a prank they do every year. Suddenly the guy from the beach comes and says Pokémon won't let his girlfriend go. After going and seeing the Pokémon, it appears they are going around her in a circle and not leaving her alone.

At this point the player accepts their first mission and gets to capture either {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Pachirisu}}, or {{p|Munchlax}}. Depending on which one is caught they will follow the player almost all the way back to school where they then slowly leave sad to not be able to go with them. The next time it will be graduating day but during the graduating ceremony. A sound is heard from the basement and two rather unusual acting {{p|Tangrowth}} will come out and attack. The player and Keith capture them. The ceremony then continues.

Going over to [[Vientown]] the player gets their first mission from [[Barlow]] which is to check out the [[Marine Cave]]. Upon exploring it, [[Crawford]] notes the Pokémon are acting strange and that there is a strange sound being heard. Going further in, a strange device is seen. Soaking it destroys it. [[Big Bertha]] comes along and helps haul it back to the ranger base. The next day, the player helps put out a forest fire with the help of {{p|Blastoise}}. Searching around a sketchy guy is found. He is brought back to the base and tied up. He refuses to speak. The next day, the player goes to [[Pueltown]] to see what the "mailboxes" actually are.

Seeing the same thing happen here that happened in the Marine Cave. [[Luana]] notes it is the same strange machines. After destroying them all. The player and Luana head to the dock and discover the machines are called [[Gigaremo]] and that [[Team Dim Sun]] was placing them around as "experiments". They flee saying they had gathered all the info they needed along with the last Gigaremo.

==Reception==
Shadows of Almia received mixed reviews in the press. It was described as being "more accessible and enjoyable than its predecessor" by Official Nintendo Maganzine UK<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=6507 Official Nintendo Magazine]</ref> and as "a no-nonsense fun game" by N-Europe Magazine.<ref>[http://www.n-europe.com/review.php?rid=428 N-Europe Magazine]</ref> However, it was criticized for its similarities to the original Pokémon Ranger, with IGN commenting that "for the Pokémon fans that already got their fix two years ago, this isn't necessary"<ref>[http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/929/929109p1.html IGN]</ref> and GamePro stating that "there's nothing compelling or new enough."<ref>[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/208296/pokemon-ranger-shadows-of-almia/ GamePro]</ref> The game received an average score of 67% on [http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ds/pokemonrangershadowsofalmia Metacritic], 2% lower than the first Pokémon Ranger.

==Trivia==
* [[Fiore]] is mentioned many times in the game, as are characters from the previous games.
** The main character's family moved from the Fiore region.
** {{ra|Keith}} and [[Rhythmi]] were originally stationed in Fiore after graduation.
** Marcus, an Operator in the Ranger Union, says he's in charge of Rangers in Fiore.
** Professor Hastings returns, as does [[Murph]], though he isn't a Ranger anymore.
** There are references to {{ra|Spenser}} and [[Elita]] on the Pledge Stone; they both wrote their goals on it.
** The [[Go-Rock Quads]] return as a famous band; they also mention that their name isn't "[[Go-Rock Squad]]".
* The Ranger Browser no longer gives ''flavor text''. It now only gives the Pokémon's attack data.
* When describing the quest "Murph's Ranger Contest", Murph uses the word "[[Eeveelution]]", which had never previously been used in the games, despite longtime usage as fan terminology.
* When looking through Brighton's Diary, Murph says ''Brighton... Brighton... Isn't that some kind of candy?''. This is likely a reference to the popular English candy called {{wp|Rock (confectionery)|Rock}}, which is mainly found in the city of Brighton along the South Coast of the United Kingdom, and is sometimes referred to as ''Brighton Rock'' or ''Brighton Rock-Candy''.
* Failing to stop the sinking of the [[Cargo Ship]] is the first occasion the player character in a Pokémon game can die.

== Unnamed cities, towns, and villages from the anime ==

I can make a page for each region ([[Kanto]], [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]) with a list of the nameless cities and towns featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. The pages show a list with an image from the episode, the featuring episode, the location (between so-and-so cities), and facts (such as festivals, events, history, leader, places of interest). Does [[Bulbapedia:Project Locations|Project Locations]] mind that?--[[User:Maximoss|Maximoss]] 15:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

:Sorry for the late reply, but this happened because we implemented a [[n:Category:Articles by user|new category system]] on Bulbanews, and a whole bunch of old articles were edited to fix capitalization (Immewnity to immewnity primarily).

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}
:[http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search Veekun already has this], and I think the way Bulbapedia is structured would make it very, very hard to implement here. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, totally forgot about veekun there haha and thank you so much for the feedback :)
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}

== Share Buttons ==

I feel that bulbapedia should have share on facebook,twitter and +1 google buttons to make it more popular and allow people to easily share and suggest information to their friends and family.This will help Bulbapedia further expand, get more contributors and grow. {{unsigned|Pokepranav}}
:Yeah, our staff is working on that feature but it is still not done yet. So, it will take some more days. Thanks for your concern :) ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 17:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required. [[User:PkmnChmp5|PkmnChmp5]] 19:55, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

==Wikirby==
The link to Wikirby on the NIWA directory is broken. It should link to http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Main_Page, but instead it links to the nonexistent http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Kirby_Wiki. Could an admin please fix this? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
:Fixed it. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 19:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed? (when replying, please note I don't really have much of an idea on the technical side of things here, like how much the server is affected) [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 04:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:trivia hasnt been allowed to encourage people to find other things to work on, not server load. with BW out, were still not 100% on that game, so people should be doing that, instead of trivia. occassional trivia is fine, but we cant let people go around and ONLY add trivia. its nonconstructive. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 06:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
::Now that makes more sense :) Though for me, you sort of imply a full ban of trivia with that thing above (with few exceptions being the likes of the things below episode articles).

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community.

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia.

:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate.

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic. I don't see why having a detailed article would be a bad idea. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

::::::@Truthseeker4449 You are dead wrong. There are ways to tell if a game is pirated or not. Usually its the subtle details that determine the difference. Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison). I got a little more crazy about it [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=398669 here] and [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=400866 here].

:::::::You ask "who's going to see?", the same question applies even if it was in the mainspace. How many sellers/re-sellers are going to come to Bulbapedia to check if their game is a bootleg?

::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Felines introduced each region... ==

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

:Magnemite was {{t|Electric}} in Gen I, and then they added {{t|Steel}} in Gen II.

== New Article for Battle things ==

Certain aspects of the game that have always confused me a bit are the phrases that appear during battle such as "'''But it failed'''", or "'''It doesn't affect __'''" (which I've discovered is actually different from "'''It didn't affect ___'''"). "'''But it missed'''" is simple enough, but there are other which I don't understand. I do not know the details personally, but I would find the info very useful, so I am requesting someone to create an article which explains what all of those things that appear in a battle actually mean.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 03:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:"But it failed" is usually the [[Status move|Non-damaging]] version of "But it missed", which can be either [[Physical move|Physical]] or [[Special move|Special]]. Not affecting a Pokémon refers to an immunity, for example {{type|Ground}}s are immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks, and so on. An immunity can also be based on an ability, such as a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} will not be able to fall asleep.

::Thank you. That makes it much more clear :D However, whilst playing Crystal (the one I'm playing at the moment), I swear that sometimes, even if the pokemon is not immune to the move, it will still say "'''it didn't affect'''", and I don't know why... '''doesn't''' implies that is never affects it, but when it says '''didn't''' it sounds like it means the same thing at '''but it failed'''.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 06:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I already mentioned this... but Physiology is very different from Anatomy... As I read some of the Physiology content, I must say it is wrong since it's just defining or describing the Pokemon's body parts or anatomical aspects.. if we will use physiology then we must define, describe their function. For example, in human physiology, each neurons has a space between them called synapse where the acethylcholine, and some electrolytes floats around waiting for depolarization effect. That is just an example of Physiology, so in terms of Anatomy, Bulbapedia is already using it so I'm suggesting we change Physiology to Anatomy... THANK YOU...

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required.

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed?

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created. I think the categorization of the main page is essential, and that this change should be implemented on Bulbapedia. I look forward to your responses, and to working with you in the future! Kind regards, [[User:Rassilon of Old|'''Rassilon of Old''']] ([[User talk:Rassilon of Old|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rassilon_of_Old|Contribs]]) 06:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia.

Bulbapedia needs a mobile site. I view on my device all the time. Not an app but a site. e.g. M.bulbapedia.org ---- DrBrock

::I wouldnt quite go that far, Han. We have been discussing a mobile site, and we almost made an app. The mobile site is a lot harder than simply copy/paste code, and with companies getting really strict on apps, thats looking questionable as well. So the real answer is, do we '''need''' one? I dont think we do, but would we ''like'' one? Yes, but it isnt in the cards right now. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 21:41, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate. Also factoring the advent of 4G mobile services, I don't see it being necessary now or in the future. [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 16:34, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic. I don't see why having a detailed article would be a bad idea. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

::::::@Truthseeker4449 You are dead wrong. There are ways to tell if a game is pirated or not. Usually its the subtle details that determine the difference. Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison). I got a little more crazy about it [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=398669 here] and [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=400866 here].

:::::::You ask "who's going to see?", the same question applies even if it was in the mainspace. How many sellers/re-sellers are going to come to Bulbapedia to check if their game is a bootleg? Beyond that, a page would be of no use to buyers since there's often no way to ''really'' tell you're bidding on a bootleg game until it arrives at your doorstep. And, Bulbapedia definitely can't go around saying things like "If the game is American and the seller's location is China, it's probably a bootleg." that's just asking for trouble. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Felines introduced each region... ==

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

:Magnemite was {{t|Electric}} in Gen I, and then they added {{t|Steel}} in Gen II.

== New Article for Battle things ==

Certain aspects of the game that have always confused me a bit are the phrases that appear during battle such as "'''But it failed'''", or "'''It doesn't affect __'''" (which I've discovered is actually different from "'''It didn't affect ___'''"). "'''But it missed'''" is simple enough, but there are other which I don't understand. I do not know the details personally, but I would find the info very useful, so I am requesting someone to create an article which explains what all of those things that appear in a battle actually mean.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 03:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:"But it failed" is usually the [[Status move|Non-damaging]] version of "But it missed", which can be either [[Physical move|Physical]] or [[Special move|Special]]. Not affecting a Pokémon refers to an immunity, for example {{type|Ground}}s are immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks, and so on. An immunity can also be based on an ability, such as a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} will not be able to fall asleep.

::Thank you. That makes it much more clear :D However, whilst playing Crystal (the one I'm playing at the moment), I swear that sometimes, even if the pokemon is not immune to the move, it will still say "'''it didn't affect'''", and I don't know why... '''doesn't''' implies that is never affects it, but when it says '''didn't''' it sounds like it means the same thing at '''but it failed'''.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 06:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I already mentioned this... but Physiology is very different from Anatomy... As I read some of the Physiology content, I must say it is wrong since it's just defining or describing the Pokemon's body parts or anatomical aspects.. if we will use physiology then we must define, describe their function. For example, in human physiology, each neurons has a space between them called synapse where the acethylcholine, and some electrolytes floats around waiting for depolarization effect. That is just an example of Physiology, so in terms of Anatomy, Bulbapedia is already using it so I'm suggesting we change Physiology to Anatomy... THANK YOU...

==NIWA==

I believe it's been this way for a while, but why is there no easily-accessible link to the main NIWA page in that navigation box thing at the bottom of the main page, just a link to the Bulbapedia article about NIWA? It's the same with the box on the said article; the bottom-right corner of the box at the bottom just loops to the Bulbapedia article. There is a link to NIWA at the end of the article, though. Just a little confused by all this...Maybe I'm missing something. [[User:CrimsonCerberus|CrimsonCerberus]] 22:22, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

== Vermilion City ==

At the moment the fourth bullet-point says the city made its "''sole anime debut''". That doesn't really make sense, I assume it should just be "''anime debut''"? [[User:Bulba-Bulba-Llamasaur|Bulba-Bulba-Llamasaur]] 10:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Bulbapedia talk:Userspace policy

Wildgoose: /* Page creation */

==Per Day==
What time zone will days be counted by? The time zone each user is in, the server's timezone, something entirely different? I think this might be a very good thing to have stated in the policy, might help to avoid people proclaiming others have gone over the limit due to the day not resetting in their time zone yet, or any other time related possibilities. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] '''|''' 06:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

This policy doesn't mention the number of additional pages which user's are allowed to have in addition to their main user space (User:<name>/<page title>). This would tie in with how much content a user would be allowed to have on their main user page (...shouldn't be larger than -- bytes).

== How about... ==

Instead of the limit being 3 edits per day, and users being warned for going over the limit, how about we do some work on the site that will make it so that once you've done 3 edits to the <code>User:</code> name space, the edit button disappears for the rest of the day? Think about it. It'll take a lot of work, but it'll be for the better in my opinion, because then, we won't have to worry about anyone going over the limit ever again. Discuss.

== Just to clarify for the newbies ==

I think the policypage needs a brief mention of the fact that all subpages are included under this.

:I was wondering this too. As of this day, I've included them into the 3-edit limit, but it'd be better if they weren't included (you can't preview all elements on different parts of the site in the Preview view).

::I've already discussed this a bit, but not with the entire EB. My personal opinion is that it shouldn't count towards the limit; like Ultimate mentioned, sometimes you can's simply Show Preview.
::However. If someone is editing their user CSS page more then three times a day for multiple days in a row, then it's worthy of a warning. I mean, no user should ever need to update their CSS that much; they're the only ones who can see it, normally you just change your layout and you're done with it.
::If someone has to take five edits to finish their CSS, no big deal. If they update it every two days with five edits, then I'd consider that abuse, and warn them accordingly. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 07:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Depending on the situation, the rule may be relaxed a bit.
:::I should mention though, if you preview a parameter like so,
:::<code><nowiki>{{{3|input}}}</nowiki></code>
:::you can emulate the template's behavior with an input, allowing you to preview the results. A bit more work, but it can save you work (and edits) in the long run.
:::If you get warned for userspace abuse and you feel that it was an unavoidable edit, say so; not every user will check what you actually edited, if you've done a lot of edits in a row. Explaining the situation helps a lot.

== 3 or 4 Edits? ==

I've been seeing so many changes to this rule. I've gotten in trouble for make four edits to my userspace, and then someone said that making four was fine. After that, I read that Bulbapedia no longer allows four edits but, rather, three again. So which is it?

:Neither. The limit itself has been abolished. However, if the majority of your edits are to your userpage, or user subpages, or if you do exceed around 6 in a short period of time. You can be warned. Keep the userspace edits to a minimum, and there's little to worry about. - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 02:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

:In the past, every second user had pages and pages and pages of unencyclopedic crap. This took a huge toll on the server (every single tiny edit was saved forever and ever), and by disallowing edits here, the creation and growth of our Pokémon encyclopedia has improved a bazillion percent. It's nothing personal against anyone, but we are ''not'' Facebook or Myspace, we are Pokémon fans building a reference point about our hobby, interest and (in some extreme cases) obsession. The "don't edit lots" rule is similar, as we encourage you to contribute to articles instead of making your own personal webpage. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 08:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

== I'm beggining to see a pattern . . . ==

Despite the Welcome template making it obvious to keep Userspace edits to a minimum I have a feeling it hasn't been obvious enough. It hasn't been too accesive recently but I have noticed that new users despite the info in the Welcome template users still seem to overlook it. For example when I was new I could hardly understand what to think of the userspace policy for a while. ({{tt|If you see my recent edits you'll see I have certainly changed that|"Now time to edit the mainspace" or "OK, WAY TOO MANY USERSPACE EDITS!!!! TO THE MAINSPACE!!!" Or whatever}}) Is there something we can do, to lightly, but very obviously let new users know that a majority of edits shall be to the mainspace '''AND''' that they shouldn't just be making random mainspace edits so they can edit their userspace. What I mean by the latter is that we tell them that their goal shouldn't be to edit their userpage and that it should be to help Bulbapedia. We could also tell them about the forums. --[[User:Landfish7| Land]][[User talk:Landfish7|fish]]7 22:20, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

== Minimum to first edit your userspace? ==

There's a message that I must make a certain number of mainspace edits before I am allowed to edit my userspace, but I can't find any information about this (especially not a specific number) anywhere.

There are tons of policies in place to prevent userspace abuse, I guess I just worry that people with these privileges aren't don't experience the policies they've created, and thus don't understand the mindset of not being able to establish yourself until you've established yourself. And yes, I watch the stub notices for AG series episodes and contribute where I see need, but many synopses claiming to need attention seem fairly complete to me.

That may sound incredibly ridiculous at first glance, but "day" can be defined many different ways. Is it a 24 hour period of time? 12 hours? Until midnight? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 07:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Per day is a 24-hour period, and we use the UTC clock at the top of the site generally. Basically, if you've got all your edits listed as being on the same date in the page history, then it's considered to be within one day. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 11:21, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

== CSS ==

The system doesn't let you preview your monobook.css file when you edit it, so that shouldn't be counted towards the total (or should only be counted as a single edit). Or maybe there should be a way to preview the CSS before saving. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 19:59, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

:Generally, edits to CSS pages aren't as big of a deal, because depending on the edit, it can't always be previewed (like Umeko said, it can be previewed; the only times you won't see it are if the CSS is affecting only specific pages, or if you're coding it incorrectly). So long as you're not making five CSS edits every day for no apparent reason, you probably won't get in trouble over it. Just don't get in a habit of changing your CSS often, it's generally the sort of thing you only need to change on rare occasions. --[[user:Jioruji_Derako| '''J'''ïörüjï '''Ð'''ērākō.'''>''']][[user talk:Jioruji Derako|''.cнаt'''''^''']] 03:46, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

== Subpages ==

Okay, so if you edit one of your subpages, it counts towards your 3 edits a day. But what if that subpage actually contributes to Bulbapedia? Say someone was working on a new template for the mainspace articles, and decided to make it in the userspace first, or someone wanted to create an article about something but had to keep it in the userspace to be approved before it was mainspaced. Would editing subpages like that count towards your 3 edits, or would that be ignored for those pages since they do/will contribute to the mainspace? [[User:Flyingtypefan|Flyingtypefan]] 18:57, 26 July 2010 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure it doesn't count towards your three edits if it's meant for the mainspace. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 19:02, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

== 3 Edits ==

This seems a tad vaque to me.. obviously it should NEVER be a top priority to edit your userpage.. but what about saying something on someone's talk page about something productive for the mainspace? What happens if you exceed three edits in this case? Do you still get a warning? Oh, and what about welcoming new users? Does that count? In the past, it was just required that you have more mainspace edits than userspace edits and that you don't edit your userspace a whole lot in a short period of time.. I'm just trying to get used to this because I didn't know it had been changed back to three edits a day.. it's not like I want to edit the userspace real bad.. it's more out of pure curiosity..

== Talk pages and the sandbox ==
It should mention somewhere that your User talk page and the Bulbapedia sandbox cannot be used by non-autoconfirmed users as a supplement to creating a userpage. I've seen new users write "about me" and try to add usertags to their own talkpage, which shouldn't be allowed as it avoids the userspace block for new users. Same deal with the sandbox. [[User:Takharii|'''たか''']][[User talk:Takharii|'''はり''']][[Special:Contributions/Takharii|'''い''']] 07:20, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
:The user talk part is already mentioned (second bullet point in the ''Circumventing the userspace policy'' section), as well as on trom's [[User:The dark lord trombonator/Talk page policy|draft update]] for the talk page policy. The sandbox. . . maybe?. I added personal content to the note at the top of that when I cleared that all off it the other day, so it ''should'' be clear now.Good suggestions though. <sc>[[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]]</sc> [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 08:09, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

== "Contract" ==

I don't know who came up with that, but calling the policy a "contract" sounds contrived, trite, and pretentious. It's a policy on a wiki<nowiki>:</nowiki> nothing more, nothing less. Calling it a "contract" that you enter into by creating a Bulbapedia account or whatever just makes the staff sound like assholes. Anyone mind if I change that? --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 17:41, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
:Poli, I can see where you are coming from, the way I see it though (feel free to disregard, as I am not staff or anything), it kind of is a contract. One is agreeing to abide by the rules in return for getting the privilege to edit in the userspace on the 'pedia. After all, it is a privilege that is earned, and one that is not a right (after all, it is something that can, and frequently is, taken away by the staff when it is abused). It is not signed or legally binding or anything, but there are consequences that follow if you do not play by the rules. I do not think that it makes the staff sound like a-holes at all (but again, that is just an opinion, take it for what it is worth). Just my two cents. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 17:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

::Yes, I understand that... However, calling it a "contract" comes across as unfriendly and overly formal. It's a rule. If you break it, you can lose your privileges. I mean, that's like saying the law prohibiting homicide is a "contract." By living here, you are entering into a contract to ''not kill anyone''. --[[User:Politoed666|''P'' ''o'']] [[User talk:Politoed666|''L'' ''i'']] 17:57, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

I can't create my userpage, but there is a page I want to create that is disputable for being in the mainspace, actualy I think it would go better in the bulbapedia namespace.

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

Wildgoose: /* AR Codes */

== Grammar on the page ==
It wasn't correct before. "It is not licensed nor is endorsed by Nintendo." When using the word "nor" without the word "neither" before it, you always use a comma, as it denotes a pause in your sentence. Plus, the "is" is superfluous. It should be either "nor endorsed" or "nor is it endorsed" to be proper.

== So... ==

Shouldn't this be just merged with GameShark? They're the same thing, just a different brand. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

== Pokesav section ==

I personally am working on a program similar to pokesav for personal use, and I can say with great confidence that pokesav does indeed leave very visible signs on your game that you have used it. There are various places (trash bytes) in your save data that will be overwritten with various markers, including the text "COM" (the person who coded pokesav). In addition, a pokemon created by pokesav or even edited with it will have various markers left on it, such as invalid trash bytes. perhaps the most obvious mark however is the fact that a perfect 31 IV spread is impossible for the majority of natures, given the PV to IV generation algorithm.

Well aside from that, I'd say that pokesav is not relevant to AR, but rather it is the other way around. See, pokesav is simply a tool, and it happens to use AR as its *secondary* method of editing. Most people will actually use devices such as an R4DS to transfer their save file, then edit it directly. Thus AR is more relevant to pokesav than vice-versa. In short, I'm suggesting that pokesav not have such a large section in this article, especially since it is nothing new, what with tools like Kiro's Pokémon Maker having been out for Gen III for a good long time as well.

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth here, so... Later! [[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 19:27, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

== Banned from WiFi ==
I had heard a rumour myself (I can't find an appropriate section to put this in....How do you start a new section?) Anyway, apparently Nintendo is planning to ban all players from Wi-Fi who have Action Replay Pokemon like, for example, the little git who has 6 shiny Deoxys at level 100... (unsigned comment moved)

This is partially true, as the WiFi service won't let you go online if your pokemon are overly hacked. I'm not entirely certain, but I believe it has something to do with the Hidden Values in the pokémon's data. It also has certain filters based on impossible combinations. For example, because it is impossible to get a legitimate shiny Manaphy from the Ranger egg, if you hack one to be shiny, and then try to use it on GTS, you will be kicked from the GTS. Pokemon that are known to be hacked by Nintendo's system will also prevent you from entering any activities (including voice chat) in the WiFi center in any pokémon center.
[[User:TheCakeIsALie|NonaSuomi]] 06:15, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

==glitch caused by action replay use==
so i used the action replay with my diamond to walk through walls, but the action replay broke, so i bought a new one with the same cheat. but the cheat caused a ! to appear above my head whenever i stopped walking through things. one time after this happened, i ran into a wild Pokémon, or rather, two. the cheat had caused some sort of glitch to occur where i have the character Mira following me everywhere, but you can't see her unless you are in battle with wild Pokémon or in a double battle. the issue is, i can't get rid of her. i've tried everything i could think of but resetting the game, which i'm waiting to do until after i have transfered all my Pokémon to my black/white game. any possible solutions or is this unheard of until now?

In addition, a pokemon created by pokesav or even edited with it will have various markers left on it, such as invalid trash bytes. perhaps the most obvious mark however is the fact that a perfect 31 IV spread is impossible for the majority of natures, given the PV to IV generation algorithm.

Well aside from that, I'd say that pokesav is not relevant to AR, but rather it is the other way around. See, pokesav is simply a tool, and it happens to use AR as its *secondary* method of editing. Most people will actually use devices such as an R4DS to transfer their save file, then edit it directly. Thus AR is more relevant to pokesav than vice-versa. In short, I'm suggesting that pokesav not have such a large section in this article, especially since it is nothing new, what with tools like Kiro's Pokémon Maker having been out for Gen III for a good long time as well.

== Banned from WiFi ==
I had heard a rumour myself (I can't find an appropriate section to put this in....How do you start a new section?) Anyway, apparently Nintendo is planning to ban all players from Wi-Fi who have Action Replay Pokemon like, for example, the little git who has 6 shiny Deoxys at level 100... (unsigned comment moved)

This is partially true, as the WiFi service won't let you go online if your pokemon are overly hacked. I'm not entirely certain, but I believe it has something to do with the Hidden Values in the pokémon's data. It also has certain filters based on impossible combinations. For example, because it is impossible to get a legitimate shiny Manaphy from the Ranger egg, if you hack one to be shiny, and then try to use it on GTS, you will be kicked from the GTS. Pokemon that are known to be hacked by Nintendo's system will also prevent you from entering any activities (including voice chat) in the WiFi center in any pokémon center.

so i used the action replay with my diamond to walk through walls, but the action replay broke, so i bought a new one with the same cheat. but the cheat caused a ! to appear above my head whenever i stopped walking through things. one time after this happened, i ran into a wild Pokémon, or rather, two. the cheat had caused some sort of glitch to occur where i have the character Mira following me everywhere, but you can't see her unless you are in battle with wild Pokémon or in a double battle. the issue is, i can't get rid of her. i've tried everything i could think of but resetting the game, which i'm waiting to do until after i have transfered all my Pokémon to my black/white game. any possible solutions or is this unheard of until now?

==AR Codes==

Can we make a list of AR codes and put it the appendix namespace? It's not bad considering [[Template:User Satanist]] and [[List of censored words in Pokémon Black and White]].

Wildgoose: /* glitch caused by action replay use */

== Grammar on the page ==
It wasn't correct before. "It is not licensed nor is endorsed by Nintendo." When using the word "nor" without the word "neither" before it, you always use a comma, as it denotes a pause in your sentence. Plus, the "is" is superfluous. It should be either "nor endorsed" or "nor is it endorsed" to be proper.

== So... ==

Shouldn't this be just merged with GameShark? They're the same thing, just a different brand. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 21:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

::I say no. If the merge were to happen, though, I'd say it should be the other way around: GameShark should be merged with this, since AR is used now for most of the same things the GameShark once was, and thus has more relevance to the Pokémon community. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Talk))]] 01:24, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

:::tough call, but i agree that if it were to be merged, it would merge with this. not this to that. all pre-2001-2 GameSharks are actually Action Replays, after that time frame, they used the AR name. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 01:27, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

If we do merge them, we should just rename the article "Cheating Devices", and create a table comparing the functions of the two. --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 06:51, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Pokémon food

2012-04-19T22:00:27Z

Wildgoose: Undo revision 1639821 by PDL (talk) its still produced by Pokémon

{{search|food that Pokémon consume|Pokémon food products in the real world|Pokémon food products}}
----
[[File:Cilan cookware.png|thumb|right|240px|Cilan's cookware as he is about to cook]]
'''Pokémon food''' is a broad term used for almost any food a [[Pokémon]] eats. Despite the variety of both Pokémon and Pokémon food, nearly every Pokémon will eat any kind of Pokémon food. This may mean that the majority of Pokémon are {{wp|Omnivore|omnivorous}}. Several species are even capable of consuming things not normally viewed as edible from a human perspective, such as minerals, electrical energy or even dreams and emotions. Some species have been said to eat other Pokémon, forming a {{wp|food chain}}.

==In the games==
===Main series games===
====Bait====
First introduced in the [[Generation I]] games and used in [[Safari Zone]]s, this food will make a [[wild Pokémon]] less likely to run away but more difficult to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]]. An unlimited supply of Bait is provided for use in the Safari Zone.

====Drinks====
{{main|Drink}}
First introduced in the [[Generation I]] games, drinks can be bought from vending machines and can be used to heal Pokémon in much the same way that [[Potion]]s can at a fraction of the price.

====Berries====
{{main|Berry}}
First introduced in the [[Generation II]] games, berries are a type of item which, unlike [[Potion]]s or [[Vitamin]]s, are portrayed as food rather than {{wp|Medication|medicine}}. A Pokémon may hold this item and, if needed, eat it during a {{pkmn|battle}} to heal itself or cause other effects. In Generation III onwards, these can be planted and harvested by the {{player}}. These berries have names and design basis on real fruits and vegetables.

====Pokéblock====
{{main|Pokéblock}}
First introduced in the [[Generation III]] games, Pokéblocks are a type of candy which are blended from berries and given to a Pokémon to raise its condition in several areas. The flavor, level, and feel of the Pokéblock is determined by the ingredients which compose it and how well it is blended.

A Pokémon can only eat a certain number of Pokéblocks before it is full and cannot eat any more. The lower the feel of the Pokéblock, the less it fills the Pokémon up, and the more Pokéblocks a Pokémon can eat.

Pokéblocks can also be put on a feeder in the {{safari|Hoenn}} to lure [[wild Pokémon]] out. After being there for a while, however, the Pokéblock will eventually be eaten. It can also be used in encounters in the Safari Zone in the same manner as bait.

====Poffin====
{{main|Poffin}}
First introduced in [[Generation IV]], Poffins are similar to Pokéblocks. A Poffin will raise the condition of a Pokémon in at least one of five categories: Smart, Cute, Tough, Beauty, and Cool. The flavor and feel of a Poffin is still taken into account just as in a Pokéblock. The main difference is that Poffins are pastries and Pokéblocks are candy.

====Honey====
{{main|Honey}}
First introduced in [[Generation IV]], Honey can be slathered onto a Honey tree to attract wild Pokémon. It works similarly to Pokéblocks in the Safari Zone; it can be placed in a specific location and will disappear (presumably eaten) after some time. However, only one Pokémon can be found on a honey tree for one Honey slathered onto it. If used in tall grass, it has the same effect as the move {{m|Sweet Scent}}.

====Aprijuice====
{{main|Apriblender}}
Apricorns were introduced in [[Generation II]], where their sole use was to create custom [[Poké Ball]]s. In the remakes of the Generation II games, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Apricorns can be blended into drinks called Aprijuice. These drinks will raise a Pokémon's [[Pokéathlon]] stats: Speed, Power, Skill, Stamina, and Jump.

====Other items====
A few items that appear to be made for human consumption are supposed to be given to Pokémon to heal them. These items are normally found or sold in certain locations and are considered specialties of those places. These items include the [[RageCandyBar]] of the [[Lake of Rage]], the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}} of [[Lavaridge Town]], the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}} of the [[Old Chateau]] and the {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Casteliacone}} of [[Castelia City]].

===Spin-off games===
[[File:MeowthEatApple.jpg|frame|200px|right|{{p|Meowth}} eating an apple]]
====Apples====
In [[Pokémon Snap]], one of the few [[item]]s provided is Pokémon Food. This is an unlimited supply of apples which [[Todd Snap]] can throw to the [[wild Pokémon]]. Many Pokémon will happily eat the food, and it can be used to lure them to a new spot since they may walk to where the food was thrown. A well-aimed throw may also hit the Pokémon with the apple, causing them to {{DL|Status ailment|flinch}}, [[fainting|faint]], or become upset.

[[Professor Oak]] will provide Todd with Pokémon Food upon obtaining a total score of 14,000 points in the {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.

Different types of [[Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Apples]] are available in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]].

====Poké Snacks====
These are used in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] to lure [[wild Pokémon]] to [[Poké Spot]]s. They look like a slice of a yellow cake, with each slice being one-tenth of the cake. Up to ten can be placed at each Poké Spot.

The [[P★DA]] monitors the Poké Snacks at each Poké Spot, and will inform [[Michael]] how many are at each Poké Spot and when a wild Pokémon is eating them. If Michael doesn't return to the Poké Spot quickly, the wild Pokémon may have eaten all the Poké Snacks he had there.

Sometimes a {{p|Munchlax}} will appear at a Poké Spot. When this happens, its {{pkmn|Trainer}} will arrive, apologize, and give ten new Poké Snacks for any the Munchlax may have eaten. Other times, a {{p|Bonsly}} will appear, running away unless the player approaches it slowly. If it runs away, it will be seen at a different Poké Spot.

Poké snacks can be purchased from Poké Marts for {{PDollar}}300 after the player talks to Duking in his house in Pyrite Town.

====Mystery Dungeon food====
{{main|Food (Mystery Dungeon)}}
There are a variety of different kinds of Pokémon food in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], such as apples, [[Gummi]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], [[Seed]]s and [[health drink]]s. Gummis's effect varies on the type of the Pokémon and have an effect on the consumer's [[IQ]], while apples fill up the belly. Berries cause many effects, such as restoring HP and removing [[status ailment]]s. Seeds often cause special [[status ailment]]s. Health drinks generally raise [[stats]], but some may do other things like restore {{PP}}. All food will have a small effect on the belly as well. Food can be turned into drinks at [[Spinda's Café]]

====Sushi====
[[File:Pokemonfood.jpg|thumb|right|160px|{{p|Aerodactyl}}'s favorite food]]
In {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, a mini-game called "Sushi-Go-Round" features several {{p|Lickitung}} competing in a race against the clock to eat the most pieces of sushi. Some pieces are too spicy for the {{p|Lickitung}}, causing them to momentarily spin around in anguish, stalling them for time.

====Other food====
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] there are many more different kinds of food than in other Pokémon games. There are foods such as {{wp|cupcake}}s, {{wp|acorn}}s, {{wp|mushroom}}s, {{wp|corn}} (which turns into {{wp|popcorn}} if shocked by Pikachu), {{wp|carrot}}s, {{wp|onion}}s, {{wp|herbs}}, {{wp|radish}}es, {{wp|apple}}s, and {{wp|banana}}s. Other things are edible even though they are not typically eaten as food, such as {{wp|flowers}} and other {{wp|plants}}.

In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], berries are often the common food source for Pokémon as well as their form of currency. A number of Pokémon can be befriended by offering them a large berry. Iron Ores are also considered a food source for the {{p|Aron}} in the game.

==In the anime==
[[File:AG108.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Ash's Glalie|Ash's Snorunt]] eating an apple]]
[[File:Slowking eating.jpg|right|thumb|200px|A {{p|Slowking}} drinking milk from a {{wp|coconut}}]]
Pokémon food has appeared in the anime as early as ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'' as a sort of kibble. It is available for purchase in cans, as seen briefly in ''[[DP053|Tears For Fears!]]''. Several [[Pokémon Trainer]]s will make their own, especially {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s and [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s like {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}}. It is shown to be suitable for human consumption, but the flavor is not always agreeable with humans, as shown by the fact that [[Seymour]] was able to eat it without any problem, but {{Ash}} tried some and reacted badly. Good Pokémon food tastes great to Pokémon, however.

Brock often offers his homemade Pokémon food to try and gain a Pokémon's trust if it seems to be unfriendly or scared, such as a baby {{p|Stantler}} in ''[[EP125|Little Big Horn]]'', and a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip|Marshtomp}} in ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'' which he caught after befriending. Most Pokémon are extremely fond of the food he makes, with the exception of a {{p|Jigglypuff}} in ''[[AG138|Rough, Tough Jigglypuff]]'' which outright refused it (although it's possible it realized it was a trap and refused to take the bait).

Pokémon are also known to consume food that is meant for people, such as [[rice ball]]s. In fact, some Pokémon, such as [[Madame Muchmoney's Snubbull]], loved to eat these more than anything else. As shown by {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, [[Ash's Swellow|Ash's Taillow]] and {{MTR}}, Pokémon are also able to eat chocolate without any ill effects.

Some Pokémon also eat food which would not be eaten by humans, such the {{p|Aron}} and {{p|Lairon}} that were shown to eat iron in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==Eating other Pokémon==
[[File:Edible Magikarp.png|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} imagining a cooked {{p|Magikarp}}.]]
In the original Pokémon games and concept, it seems that most Pokémon were more animal-like. As such, wild Pokémon were originally portrayed as eating one another by some sources, in a very animal-like prey-predator system; for example, [[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'s entry for {{p|Pidgeot}} says that "''When they hunt, Pidgeot fly on the surface of the water at top speed to catch unsuspecting Fish element prey like {{p|Magikarp}}.''" The Handbook also lists {{p|Golbat}} as drinking the blood of its enemies, not just sucking their "energy," as the Handbook refers to {{m|Leech Life}} in {{p|Zubat}}'s entry.

This theme is not as explicit in the anime or games; rarely being shown or mentioned. This may be because of moral issues; as the anime and games progress, Pokémon seem to be growing more human, with personalities, human mannerisms, etc., and such behavior might border on cannibalism. Although in the [[original series]], {{AP|Pidgeotto}} immediately began to peck at {{AP|Ash's Caterpie|Butterfree}} when Ash first attempted to catch the Bird Pokémon. Misty took notice and warned Ash that Pidgeotto might try to eat Caterpie, who was quickly returned to his ball. Pidgeotto never attempted to harm Caterpie again once it had been captured by Ash. This concept was brought up again in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'' when {{TR|Meowth}} attempts to eat [[List_of_Pokémon_temporarily_owned_by_Team_Rocket#Gyarados|James's Magikarp]] only to have its hard scales break his teeth.

There are some suggestions that there are non-Pokémon animals that some Pokémon prey on. The Pokédex entries for {{p|Venonat}} and {{p|Venomoth}} mention them preying on small insects. In the [[original series]], {{AP|Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto}} is seen eating a small, non-Pokémon worm before being captured.

Some Pokédex entries still refer to Pokémon preying on each other, or at least sucking life force. This is seen in {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gengar}}, who in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, together with Gastly, lick the partner Pokémon until they vanish. {{p|Slowbro}}'s PokéDex entry in {{v|Crystal}} mentions that {{p|Shellder}} enjoys the taste of the ooze that comes out of the Slowbro's tail. This example is also supported by Team Rocket who cut off and sell the tails of {{p|Slowpoke}}, considering them a rare delicacy.

The Pokédex entry in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} also claims that {{p|Taillow}} feed on {{p|Wurmple}}. This is further explored in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], when Wurmple of Team Tasty thinks its partner, {{p|Swellow}}, the evolved form of Taillow, will eventually eat it. Swellow, however, seems mortified at the idea of eating her teammate.

{{p|Cherubi}}'s {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}} Pokédex entry describes its appendage as being "very sweet and tasty," possibly confirming that Cherubi's ball can be safely consumed by humans. Its {{v2|Platinum}} entry explains that {{p|Starly}} try to feed on Cherubi as well. Likewise, meat is often shown in the {{pkmn|anime}}, but while it has never been shown to come from Pokémon, no other food source has been explained, though in a particular episode in Hoenn, [[Harley]] has a flashback in which a person stole his "snackie", which bore a resemblance to tiny {{p|Octillery}}, similar to the octupi served in some real-life restaurants.

It is stated in the Pokédex entry for {{p|Heatmor}} in {{2v|Black|White}} that it preys on {{p|Durant}}.

==Food produced by Pokémon==
Some species of Pokémon are known to produce various kinds of food which can be safely consumed by humans and other Pokémon.

* {{p|Chansey}} and {{p|Blissey}} are capable of laying eggs that are delicious and nutritious for humans and Pokémon.
* Certain Grass types such as {{p|Grotle}} and {{p|Snover}} are able to grow edible nuts or berries on their bodies. While Pokémon always enjoy these, the same cannot always be said for humans. The food that Grotle produces, for example, tastes bad to humans.
* {{p|Shuckle}} are well known for storing certain kinds of berries in their shells, which slowly ferment into juice. The juice has special properties if consumed by humans and Pokémon, and, as once demonstrated in the anime, can be used to make love potion. If it is fermented even longer, it will become a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}}.
* The fungus of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}} can be used to make [[potion]]s and medicine.
* {{p|Tropius}} grow a bunch of fruits that resemble bananas on their neck, which can be picked and eaten by humans or other Pokémon.
* {{p|Miltank}} produce {{DL|Drink|Moomoo Milk}} which can be bought in the games and used as a healing item. It is stated in both the games and the anime to be both nutritious and delicious, and in the games it is stated that it is said kids who drink it will become hearty, healthy adults. In the anime, groups of Miltank are often kept to produce the milk not only for drinking, but also for the milk used to make dairy products as part of a business.
* {{p|Combee}} and {{p|Vespiquen}} gather nectar from flowers to produce [[Honey]] which is readily savored by various species of Pokémon. {{p|Mothim}} like to steal it.
* {{p|Seadra}}'s bones and fins can be used to make herbal medicine.

Television

2012-04-18T21:53:45Z

Wildgoose: /* Generation V */

{{search|household appliance|Secret Base decoration|Ornament#TVs|TVs}}

'''Televisions''' (also abbreviated '''TVs''') are part of the furniture in most houses in the [[Pokémon world]]. They debuted in [[Generation I]], but were merely for decoration until [[Generation III]]. They have also appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]].

==In the games==
===Generations I and II===
[[File:RBTV.png|thumb|right|Television in {{2v2|Red|Blue}}]]
The televisions in these [[Generation]]s were merely for decoration purposes and, unlike later generations, the television is in the middle of the room. Televisions normally appeared in residential houses. The same applies in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}.

===Generation III===
Television returned in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, replacing [[Generation II]]'s [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|radio broadcasts]] and served a purpose unlike the Generation I TVs. They were present in most houses in [[Hoenn]], but had a limited function, only showing programs when an event occurs, such as [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]], or when the {{player}} changes a Pokémon's nickname at the [[Name Rater]]. They may also show interviews with the player character, who answers by selecting words from a drop-down list. When a program is airing, the television screen will flash, and will not cease flashing until the program has been watched. If an event has not happened to activate a television program, the screen will remain blank and the phrase "''Mom/Dad might like this program... better get going!''" will be played. The programming is organized by [[Hoenn TV]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a key item called the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Teachy TV}} is given to the player at the start of the game. It airs the Poké Dude Show, where a character called the [[Primo|Poké Dude]] will instruct the player on basic gameplay elements like how to catch Pokémon and how to battle.

===Generation IV===
[[File:DPTV.png|thumb|right|Television in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} television screens flash constantly. [[Jubilife TV]] produces many television programs broadcast all around the [[Sinnoh]] region, including the ''Trend Tracker'' show, ''Trainer Research'', and ''Sinnoh Now''. Each program includes information about events happening around Sinnoh, including [[Pokémon outbreak|swarming Pokémon]] and [[weather conditions]] affecting different routes. They may also contain information about the player which is customizable by speaking to a number of {{tc|interviewers}} which can be found scattered around the region. Like in the previous generation, the answers to the interviewers' questions are limited, but more answers can be added by learning [[trendy phrase]]s in [[Snowpoint City]]. At the conclusion of each program, a series of advertisements can be watched.

The events of the main storyline in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} are encouraged by a television program, ''The Search for the [[Red Gyarados]]''. Later, at the [[Survival Area]], the player will encounter the cameraman responsible for this story. In {{v2|Platinum}} this person can be found blocking the entrance to Lake Valor hoping to see {{p|Azelf}} before [[Team Galactic]] detonates the Galactic Bomb there.

There is also a TV in the [[Old Chateau]] which contains a wild {{p|Rotom}} at night (after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]] in Diamond and Pearl, and at any time in Platinum).

===Generation V===
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, televisions show a variety of different programmes. The type of television shows that are broadcast at any particular instance depend on the in-game time.

For the first ten minutes of every hour, documentaries and a cartoon focusing on the player character are broadcast. Each program acts as a view of in-game statistics, telling the player how many times he/she has had a Pokémon flee, how much money he/she has spent at shops, how many Trainers and Pokémon he/she has defeated, and so on.

From ten minutes past to thirty-five minutes past each hour, educational shows are broadcast. These are "The Waving Weaving Walk", which describes various [[Ability|abilities]]; "Moves for Living", which describes various [[move]]s that are new to the game; and "Watchy the Watchog", which inspects held items that are new to the games.

For the last twenty-five minutes of each hour, other shows such as human interest pieces are broadcast; these include "Eyes on Unova", "Your Pokémon", "Personality Assessment and [[Horoscope]]", "National Gymquirer", and "Unova News". Other programs shown at this time are "Koukan Talk", which teaches {{wp|Japanese Language|Japanese}} in the North American games; and "PokéQuiz", which quizzes three kids on the Japanese names of Pokémon. There are even infomercials advertising overpriced items.

==In the anime==
Television has been present in the anime since [[EP001|the first episode]], where {{Ash}} saw a [[Pokémon League]] battle on television. Ash and {{ashfr|his traveling companions}} have met several television and film producers on their journeys, but televisions remained largely unseen until the {{series|Advanced Generation}}. [[Max]] mentioned watching the [[Silver Conference]] on television when he first meets Ash in [[AG003]], and thus learned a lot about him. Several characters mention watching [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]]s on TV, and in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'' several supporting characters watch Ash's battle on TV. Like in the games, ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' is broadcast in the Sinnoh region, with host {{si|Rhonda}}.

==Trivia==
* TVs are wider since the [[Generation IV]] games. This may reflect the general trend towards new TVs being widescreen.
* In Generation IV, only cathode ray tube televisions have been used, as the Generation IV games did not feature plasma or LCD screen televisions, with the exception of the [[Villa]] television set. However, in Generation V, these types of televisions became commonplace, replacing cathode ray tube televisions.

== Unnamed cities, towns, and villages from the anime ==

I can make a page for each region ([[Kanto]], [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]) with a list of the nameless cities and towns featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. The pages show a list with an image from the episode, the featuring episode, the location (between so-and-so cities), and facts (such as festivals, events, history, leader, places of interest). Does [[Bulbapedia:Project Locations|Project Locations]] mind that?--[[User:Maximoss|Maximoss]] 15:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
:If anyone approves of this, I suggest going with "unnamed" rather than "nameless." [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 15:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
:Agreed! If there will be no disapproval by September 2011, I will start working on those pages.--[[User:Maximoss|Maximoss]] 03:04, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
::This sounds like a good idea. Since Unova has quite a few unnamed places. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 04:13, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

== The "Current Events" area on the Main Page ==

Usually it has the last ten or whatever news items in there. RIght now there's only two, and it's been that way all day. Is there a reason for this? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 23:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late reply, but this happened because we implemented a [[n:Category:Articles by user|new category system]] on Bulbanews, and a whole bunch of old articles were edited to fix capitalization (Immewnity to immewnity primarily). Due to the way Bulbanews works, the new articles hadn't been edited recently enough and were pushed off the list. We had to go around and make edits to the articles to get them back on this list. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:31, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}
:[http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search Veekun already has this], and I think the way Bulbapedia is structured would make it very, very hard to implement here. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, totally forgot about veekun there haha and thank you so much for the feedback :)
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}

== Share Buttons ==

I feel that bulbapedia should have share on facebook,twitter and +1 google buttons to make it more popular and allow people to easily share and suggest information to their friends and family.This will help Bulbapedia further expand, get more contributors and grow. {{unsigned|Pokepranav}}
:Yeah, our staff is working on that feature but it is still not done yet. So, it will take some more days. Thanks for your concern :) ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 17:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required. [[User:PkmnChmp5|PkmnChmp5]] 19:55, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

==Wikirby==
The link to Wikirby on the NIWA directory is broken. It should link to http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Main_Page, but instead it links to the nonexistent http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Kirby_Wiki. Could an admin please fix this? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
:Fixed it. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 19:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed? (when replying, please note I don't really have much of an idea on the technical side of things here, like how much the server is affected) [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 04:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:trivia hasnt been allowed to encourage people to find other things to work on, not server load. with BW out, were still not 100% on that game, so people should be doing that, instead of trivia. occassional trivia is fine, but we cant let people go around and ONLY add trivia. its nonconstructive. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 06:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
::Now that makes more sense :) Though for me, you sort of imply a full ban of trivia with that thing above (with few exceptions being the likes of the things below episode articles).

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created. I think the categorization of the main page is essential, and that this change should be implemented on Bulbapedia. I look forward to your responses, and to working with you in the future! Kind regards, [[User:Rassilon of Old|'''Rassilon of Old''']] ([[User talk:Rassilon of Old|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rassilon_of_Old|Contribs]]) 06:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:Rule's always been that only the Main Page is uncategorized. But whatever the guy with the thing for magnets says. Also Wikia sucks. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

:::If we do decide to categorize the main page, I wouldn't go creating any of those categories. Also, the Bulbapedia equivalent of Category:Browse is {{cat|Browsing Bulbapedia}}.

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia.

:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate.

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic. I don't see why having a detailed article would be a bad idea. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

::::::@Truthseeker4449 You are dead wrong. There are ways to tell if a game is pirated or not. Usually its the subtle details that determine the difference. Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison). I got a little more crazy about it [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=398669 here] and [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=400866 here].

:::::::You ask "who's going to see?", the same question applies even if it was in the mainspace. How many sellers/re-sellers are going to come to Bulbapedia to check if their game is a bootleg? Beyond that, a page would be of no use to buyers since there's often no way to ''really'' tell you're bidding on a bootleg game until it arrives at your doorstep. And, Bulbapedia definitely can't go around saying things like "If the game is American and the seller's location is China, it's probably a bootleg." that's just asking for trouble. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

== Felines introduced each region... ==

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

:Magnemite was {{t|Electric}} in Gen I, and then they added {{t|Steel}} in Gen II. It was 3+ years between each game (it all depends on if you count the Jp or U.S. release) until top [[Pokémon Professor|professors]] figured it out.

== New Article for Battle things ==

Certain aspects of the game that have always confused me a bit are the phrases that appear during battle such as "'''But it failed'''", or "'''It doesn't affect __'''" (which I've discovered is actually different from "'''It didn't affect ___'''"). "'''But it missed'''" is simple enough, but there are other which I don't understand. I do not know the details personally, but I would find the info very useful, so I am requesting someone to create an article which explains what all of those things that appear in a battle actually mean.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 03:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:"But it failed" is usually the [[Status move|Non-damaging]] version of "But it missed", which can be either [[Physical move|Physical]] or [[Special move|Special]]. Not affecting a Pokémon refers to an immunity, for example {{type|Ground}}s are immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks, and so on. An immunity can also be based on an ability, such as a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} will not be able to fall asleep.

::Thank you. That makes it much more clear :D However, whilst playing Crystal (the one I'm playing at the moment), I swear that sometimes, even if the pokemon is not immune to the move, it will still say "'''it didn't affect'''", and I don't know why... '''doesn't''' implies that is never affects it, but when it says '''didn't''' it sounds like it means the same thing at '''but it failed'''.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 06:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I already mentioned this... but Physiology is very different from Anatomy... As I read some of the Physiology content, I must say it is wrong since it's just defining or describing the Pokemon's body parts or anatomical aspects.. if we will use physiology then we must define, describe their function. For example, in human physiology, each neurons has a space between them called synapse where the acethylcholine, and some electrolytes floats around waiting for depolarization effect. That is just an example of Physiology, so in terms of Anatomy, Bulbapedia is already using it so I'm suggesting we change Physiology to Anatomy... THANK YOU...

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required.

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed? (when replying, please note I don't really have much of an idea on the technical side of things here, like how much the server is affected) [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 04:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created.

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate.

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic. I don't see why having a detailed article would be a bad idea. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
::::It isn't the kind of thing that is appropriate for Bulbapedia.

::::::@Truthseeker4449 You are dead wrong. There are ways to tell if a game is pirated or not. Usually its the subtle details that determine the difference. Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison). I got a little more crazy about it [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=398669 here] and [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=400866 here].

:::::::You ask "who's going to see?", the same question applies even if it was in the mainspace. How many sellers/re-sellers are going to come to Bulbapedia to check if their game is a bootleg? Beyond that, a page would be of no use to buyers since there's often no way to ''really'' tell you're bidding on a bootleg game until it arrives at your doorstep. And, Bulbapedia definitely can't go around saying things like "If the game is American and the seller's location is China, it's probably a bootleg." that's just asking for trouble. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Pokémon Rumble Blast will be released in North America in two days. However, only one out of the 20+ locations has an article, and that article is barely linked to anything else.

Would it be possible for a location template to be made to link all of the stages (grouped by chapter) and towns so that creating and formatting the articles will be easier for people?

== Felines introduced each region... ==

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

:Magnemite was {{t|Electric}} in Gen I, and then they added {{t|Steel}} in Gen II. It was 3+ years between each game (it all depends on if you count the Jp or U.S. release) until top [[Pokémon Professor|professors]] figured it out.

== New Article for Battle things ==

Certain aspects of the game that have always confused me a bit are the phrases that appear during battle such as "'''But it failed'''", or "'''It doesn't affect __'''" (which I've discovered is actually different from "'''It didn't affect ___'''"). "'''But it missed'''" is simple enough, but there are other which I don't understand. I do not know the details personally, but I would find the info very useful, so I am requesting someone to create an article which explains what all of those things that appear in a battle actually mean.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 03:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:"But it failed" is usually the [[Status move|Non-damaging]] version of "But it missed", which can be either [[Physical move|Physical]] or [[Special move|Special]]. Not affecting a Pokémon refers to an immunity, for example {{type|Ground}}s are immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks, and so on. An immunity can also be based on an ability, such as a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} will not be able to fall asleep.

::Thank you. That makes it much more clear :D However, whilst playing Crystal (the one I'm playing at the moment), I swear that sometimes, even if the pokemon is not immune to the move, it will still say "'''it didn't affect'''", and I don't know why... '''doesn't''' implies that is never affects it, but when it says '''didn't''' it sounds like it means the same thing at '''but it failed'''.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 06:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

== Damos' Pichu ==

I was editing an article when I noticed that there is no article for Damos' Pichu. There probably should be one, since Damos' Pichu played somewhat of an important role in M12. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] 17:56, 25 February 2012 (UTC))

== Japanese Species Names ==

Is there a reason why the original Japanese species name is not included on each Pokémon's page? The original Japanese name of Pokémon, techniques, town descriptions, and Gym Leader titles are included, so why not species? [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 15:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
:This information is better suited to the Japanese wiki. The others are included as information only on important individual names (thus being an interesting piece of trivia), and so having the original Japanese species names is a bit pointless, considering that this is an English wiki (species names aren't very important).--[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalk]][[User talk:Chalkwriter|writer]] 18:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

:Yeah, nobody has updated it in a while. What we found was that it was just an unnecessary waste of time to update it every day.

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I already mentioned this... but Physiology is very different from Anatomy... As I read some of the Physiology content, I must say it is wrong since it's just defining or describing the Pokemon's body parts or anatomical aspects.. if we will use physiology then we must define, describe their function. For example, in human physiology, each neurons has a space between them called synapse where the acethylcholine, and some electrolytes floats around waiting for depolarization effect. That is just an example of Physiology, so in terms of Anatomy, Bulbapedia is already using it so I'm suggesting we change Physiology to Anatomy... THANK YOU...

==NIWA==

I believe it's been this way for a while, but why is there no easily-accessible link to the main NIWA page in that navigation box thing at the bottom of the main page, just a link to the Bulbapedia article about NIWA? It's the same with the box on the said article; the bottom-right corner of the box at the bottom just loops to the Bulbapedia article. There is a link to NIWA at the end of the article, though.

At the moment the fourth bullet-point says the city made its "''sole anime debut''". That doesn't really make sense, I assume it should just be "''anime debut''"? [[User:Bulba-Bulba-Llamasaur|Bulba-Bulba-Llamasaur]] 10:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

'''Vibrava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビブラーバ''' ''Vibrava'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Trapinch}} starting at [[level]] 35 and evolves into {{p|Flygon}} starting at level 45.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Vibrava is a Pokémon strongly resembling a dragonfly. In a stark contrast to its pre-evolution, its head is now much smaller with two yellow antennae adorning the front of it, and is now yellow with green bulging eyes with black pupils. It has a skinny yellow body, four skinny black legs with slender black feet and green rhombus-shaped wings, which appear to be layered. It also has two similar rhombus shapes at the end of its tail.

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

===Special abilities===
Vibrava is capable of emitting and manipulating sound waves from its wings. This ability has been tuned to the point where this Pokémon is able to induce headaches in humans. It also has the ability {{a|Levitate}}. This allows Vibrava to dodge {{type2|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Magnitude}}. Oddly enough, its physical attacking power is actually weaker than {{p|Trapinch}}'s.

Being a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, Vibrava can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
Upon evolution, Vibrava gains the ability of limited flight. However, its wings are not fully mature, and are ineffective at flying any significant distance. Although they are not this Pokémon's primary method of locomotion, they are their primary method of prey capture. By vibrating its wings rapidly, it produces ultrasonic waves. These waves are quite powerful, and can cause their prey to faint. Fortunately, these waves usually do not do more damage than a headache in humans.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Vibrava live in deserts, they enjoy rocks and nearby trees if they can find any in their sandy habitat.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Vibrava hunts by vibrating its wings at high frequency. Once its prey has fainted, it injects the prey with potent venom.

==In the anime==
[[File:Brianna Vibrava Screech.png|thumb|right|Vibrava in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Several once again appeared in ''[[AG106|Beg, Burrow and Steal]]''. Dozens of {{p|Trapinch}} were seen evolving into them at an underground lake. {{TRT}} made a failed attempt to steal the Antlion Pokémon despite the fact the idea {{MTR}} had of using their previous forms as nut-crackers was now foiled. The Vibrava helped {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], {{an|Brock}}, {{Ho|Hal}} and [[Elisa]] out of the underground labyrinth.

===Minor appearances===
Vibrava first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in the form of a swarm.

A {{pkmn|Coordinator}} named [[Brianna]] used a Vibrava in the battle round of the [[Pokémon Contest]] on [[Chrysanthemum Island]] in ''[[AG162|Spontaneous Combusken]]''. Vibrava were also used by random coordinators in ''[[AG121|Hi Ho Silver Wind]]'' and ''[[AG160|Harley Rides Again]]''.

It also appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
[[File:Matt Vibrava Adventures.png|thumb|Vibrava in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{tc|Aqua Admin}}s [[Shelly]] and [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] both own a Vibrava they use for aerial transport.

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=ground
|type2=dragon

|rubydex=To make prey faint, Vibrava generates ultrasonic waves by vigorously making its two wings vibrate. This Pokémon's {{m|Supersonic|ultrasonic waves}} are so powerful, they can bring on headaches in people.
|sapphiredex=Vibrava's wings have not yet completed the process of growing. Rather than flying long distances, they are more useful for generating ultrasonic waves by vibrating.
|emeralddex=It looses ultrasonic waves by rubbing its wings together. Since a Vibrava's wings are still in the process of growing, it can only fly short distances.
|frlgdex=It generates ultrasonic waves by violently flapping its wings. After making its prey faint, it melts the prey with acid.
|dpptdex=It violently shudders its wings, generating ultrasonic waves to induce headaches in people.

==Trivia==
* Vibrava and its evolution, {{p|Flygon}} share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
** Their evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
** Vibrava and Flygon are the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon not to be in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* All of Vibrava's [[base stats]] go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into {{p|Flygon}}.
* Vibrava shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Palpitoad}} and {{p|Seismitoad}}. They are all known as Vibration Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Vibrava is based on the adult stage of an {{wp|antlion}}. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Vibrava could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's typing.

====Name origin====
Vibrava's name is probably based on the word ''vibrate'', to shake, and ''{{wp|larva}}''. It may also derive from ''{{wp|European dragon#Dragons in Catalan mythology|Vibra}}''.

Wildgoose: /* Intro */ Seriously, stop. Either stop reverting this edit or put a template or something that says this page has a bad word.

[[File:565Carracosta Dream.png|thumb|right|400px|Don't look at this bad*** turtle! Look at the words to the left of the turtle!]]

This page details selected events in the Pokémon franchise history. '''You can edit this page!''' This page is a community effort to collate and preserve our history - like [[User:SnorlaxMonster/today]], but in more detail. Once completed, items from this page will be presented daily on the Bulbapedia Main Page.

Disclaimer: I totally stole the layout and beginnings of the information below from SnorlaxMonster.

If you want to help, but don't know what to look at, ask {{u|the dark lord trombonator|trom}} on his {{ut|the dark lord trombonator}}. He or another administrator involved in this project will get back to you on how you can help.

The kind of information we are looking for are (brace yourselves):
* All anime episode debut dates (Jan-March done already)
* All movie debut dates
* All game release dates
* All manga release dates
* All TCG deck/expansion release dates
* All TFG set releases
* All Battrio Set releases
* All Battle e set releases
* All birthdays of notable people in the fandom
* All other important dates (i.e. TPCi merger date)
* Dates relevant to the fandom (i.e. Bulbapedia launch date)
* Dates that have some significance within Pokémon canon (i.e. birthdates in ''Adventures'', diamond dust dates)
* Probably more stuff (if you can think of anything, ask trom on his talk page)

It might seem like a big job, but with a bit of teamwork, we Bulbapedians will be able to complete this in no time.

'''Please add new information on a new line.'''

'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He is a highly intelligent man who uses {{type2|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough and ready Fire-type Pokémon. To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions.

When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a {{p|Moltres}}. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a native of [[Cinnabar Island]], and has lived there since before the [[Pokémon Lab]] was built. He is apparently on good terms with [[Mr. Fuji]].

In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} he gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island erupted, destroying the town, and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar. He plans to rebuild his gym one day.

He is able to be rebattled in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday. He is found on [[Cinnabar Island]]. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine has added Gym Trainers and a puzzle to the gym, unlike in Gold and Silver where Blaine stood alone in a small room.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaine anime.png|thumb|220px|left|Blaine in the anime]]
Blaine appeared in the episodes ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' and ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

Blaine ran the Cinnabar Island Gym until the island started to become crowded with tourists. Instead of serious challengers, the Cinnabar Island [[Pokémon Center]] started to fill up with freeloading vacationers. Fed up with this, Blaine closed the Gym and opened up a hotel near the island's volcanic hot springs, disguising himself with a wig, a fake mustache and sunglasses. He also disguised his voice to be softer and lower pitched than normal. Blaine likes to make up riddles even in inappropriate situations.

When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met Blaine, he told them several riddles. Misty deciphered the riddles and eventually the trio found Blaine's hotel, and underneath the hotel in a volcanic cavern was the Cinnabar Island Gym. Ash challenged Blaine to a Gym match, but was easily defeated. After the battle, {{TRT}} attempted to steal Blaine's {{p|Magmar}} by freezing it with guns that projected beams of ice. Magmar broke free in the end; however, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to begin to crack, indicating that the Cinnabar Island volcano was going to erupt.

Ash, Blaine, Misty, and Brock used their {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to dam the cracks in the walls with boulders. During the emergency, Ash's {{AP|Charizard}} and Blaine's {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} gained an interest in the other's strength, each wishing to test it in battle. Blaine agreed to a rematch with Ash; due to the internal damage of the volcano, it was held on the volcano's crater. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly gave it an advantage. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, slamming Magmar into the volcano. The Spitfire Pokémon was knocked out, and Blaine was defeated.

|desc={{p|Ninetales}} was Blaine's first Pokémon used in his battle with Ash. Despite its beautiful looks, Ninetales proved to be an incredibly powerful Pokémon, knocking out [[Ash's Squirtle]] with a single attack. Ninetales was recalled when Ash sent out his Charizard.

Ninetales's only known move is {{m|Fire Spin}}.}}

|desc=After Ash chose Charizard in his battle, Blaine countered it by choosing {{p|Rhydon}}. Charizard refused to fight the Ground-type Pokémon, so Rhydon went up against {{AP|Pikachu}} in its place. Blaine doubted the Electric-type could defeat Rhydon, but Ash encouraged Pikachu to use Rhydon's horn as a conductor of electricity that eventually caused its defeat. This battle sparked a now well-known Internet meme in the Pokémon fandom, as Rhydon is usually immune to Electric-type attacks.

Rhydon was seen again in a flashback in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', where it was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}.}}

After the battlefield was wrecked due to Team Rocket's influence, Magmar and Ash's Charizard ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's rematch with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including {{m|Fire Blast}}, Charizard managed to come out on top.}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Erika Blaine Adventures.png|300px|thumb|right|Blaine and Erika]]
Blaine was a former member of [[Team Rocket]], joining because of his interest in science and conducting experiments on some of {{adv|Red}}'s future Pokémon, namely {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Eevee}}. He was first seen (albeit without a speaking role), studying and generating {{Adv|Mewtwo}} under the [[Rocket Game Corner]]. But after hearing of Red's clashes with Team Rocket, like protecting {{p|Mew}} from them, Blaine left, attempting to make up for his evil deeds. When Red reached Cinnabar Island, Blaine was under attack by members of Team Rocket and their newly captured {{p|Moltres}}, on loan from [[Sabrina]].

Blaine had his Rapidash carry Red to his Pokémon Lab, while Red let Blaine use his Gyarados to hold off Moltres in return. At the Pokémon Lab, Red was able to revive an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from a [[fossil]]. Aerodactyl helped rescue Blaine and defeat Moltres.

Later, Blaine asked Red to help him in [[Cerulean Cave]]. While he was working under Team Rocket, Blaine combined some of Mew's DNA with his own to create a hybrid Pokémon named {{Adv|Mewtwo}}. Some of Blaine's hand was infected with Mewtwo's DNA, and thus he was able to track the synthetic Pokémon. Because of this, Team Rocket attempted to abduct Blaine to review Mewtwo's whereabouts. Using the [[Master Ball]], Red was able to capture Mewtwo for Blaine after Blaine tried and was seriously injured in the process. This is when Blaine revealed why he quit Team Rocket. He saw Red's compassion for Pokémon in the Rocket Game Corner and it made Blaine realize that he created two monsters, Mewtwo and himself. He then decided that he didn't care what Team Rocket would do to him, but rather that he needed to catch Mewtwo and help it. It was then suggested by Red that he needed to show Mewtwo compassion because all that it knew about humans was cruelty and arrogance.

The psychic bond between Mewtwo and Blaine limited them both. If they were apart for too long, both would begin to become ill. Blaine worked for several years trying to find a way to sever the bond without hurting either of them. He then appeared during the {{chap|Yellow}} as one of the "Good" Gym Leaders of Kanto. After {{tc|Super Nerd}} Miles was defeated, he used Growlithe's [[Odor Sleuth]] and deduced that Red must have been at [[Mt. Moon]]. When Miles was being lifted away by [[Agatha]] and her {{p|Gastly}} Blaine tried to use Growlithe's Fire Blast to knock it out, only for it to almost kill a Caterpie had Yellow not saved it.

He was then seen back on Cinnabar Island training with {{tc|Camper}} Ivan using Mewtwo to practice their connection using a disguise. Yellow then finds out that it was Blaine and that he was simply wearing a disguise because he didn't know who was watching. He then hears a message from [[Brock]] reporting that he found an ice sculpture of {{adv|Red}} in [[Mt. Moon]]. He then travels to Cerise Island with Yellow (albeit by different routes) and Mewtwo, revealing that that was what they were training for. He then runs into Blue and sees several Pokémon, believing them to belong to the Elite Four, but actually belonging to [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]].

During the [[Cerise Island]] incident, [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]] paired Blaine and {{adv|Yellow}} together in the fight against the [[Elite Four]]. They intruded on Lt. Surge and Bill's battle with Bruno. They were blocked out by a strange barrier, however, and were kept out since Bruno did not wish for anyone to interfere with their battle. Together, they confronted [[Lance]]. However, the bond between Mewtwo and Blaine proved to be their undoing, and they were defeated, leaving Yellow to face Lance alone.

Later, during the [[Masked Man]]'s plot in [[Johto]], {{p|Entei}} chose Blaine to be its partner. The healing power of Entei's flames was finally able to cut the link between Mewtwo and Blaine, and the two were free to live their lives apart from each other. Yet, Blaine's corroding hand still served as a reminder of his past with Mewtwo, as demonstrated in the {{chap|FireRed and LeafGreen}} when Mewtwo was facing off against {{p|Deoxys}}.

Although he's serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments. Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes, he may also use riddles to lighten up dark atmosphere.

After it was fully cultivated in the [[Pokémon Lab]] on Cinnabar Island, it went berserk and demolished the place before settling in the [[Cerulean Cave]] (where it wreaked havoc in the northwestern sector of [[Cerulean City]]). Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its {{m|Psywave|psychic tornado}}. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against [[Lance]] in the {{chap|Yellow}}, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free {{Adv|Deoxys}} from [[Giovanni]]'s hands.}}

Surge]] had been injured fighting the [[Masked Man]] in the [[Indigo Plateau]], it was partnered up with {{Adv|Silver}} instead, and went back to the wild after the villain was defeated.

Entei's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}.}}



===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===

Blaine appears in ''[[PZ08|Cinnabar Island]]''. He tells Satoshi about his gym on Cinnabar. Satoshi meets up with him and they have a battle. Blaine uses Arcanine and Satoshi uses Charmeleon which results in Satoshi winning the battle. As a result, his Charmeleon starts to evolve into a Charizard. Blaine explains that he was in Seafoam Islands and his Fire Pokémon were hurt. While he was there, he remembers seeing Articuno fly away. Blaine uses his Charizard to capture the Articuno that has been flying around the island.

==Trivia==
* Although {{p|Magmar}} appears as Blaine's signature Pokémon in the anime, he only has one in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with it not even appearing in his Gym team in Yellow (which went as far as giving Lt. Surge ''only'' Raichu to mimic the anime).
** This may be due to the fact that ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' aired only a month prior to the release of {{game|Yellow}}, by which point Yellow was likely in the final stages of production.
** This is somewhat circumvented in HeartGold and SoulSilver where in the first match he has a Magmar and in the rematch he has a {{p|Magmortar}} as his signature Pokémon.
* Despite the {{p|Arcanine}} evolutionary line being his signature Pokémon in Generation I and III, Arcanine is no longer in his party in Generation II and its remakes.
* Even when the player battles Blaine in a rematch, he still references his "Cave Gym" as if the battle's taking place there.
* He is the only Gym Leader that battles outside a building for their first battle.
* Blaine is the only Gym Leader to have a Gym in two different locations.

===Design differences===
[[File:Blaine disguise anime.png|thumb|220px|right|Blaine's anime disguise]]
Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. He is depicted as a bald man with light red hair to the back and side of his head, with no mustache and no sunglasses wearing beach clothes. The old design was reused in the {{pkmn|anime}} (as Blaine's real look) and very briefly in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga (as a disguise after his mustache was burned).

Later, in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and outside-Japan [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] the artwork was revised and he started to be depicted as an older man with a mustache, and no hair on his head, wearing sunglasses and labcoat. Despite the artwork changes, his new design was used in ''all'' Generation I main series games, including the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. This means that Blaine's design was probably changed very late in the production of Red and Green, since his official artwork and his in-game sprite are completely different portrayals.

The reasons for changing the design is unknown; however, the [[Fame Checker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} explains why he doesn't always wear sunglasses: "Blaine is said to remove his dark shades only when he is thinking up new quiz questions."

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Blaine is shown wearing a hat. He wears more sophisticated clothing than his previous lab coat. He also sports a cane that resembles a question mark.

'''Blaine''' (Japanese: '''カツラ''' ''Katsura'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cinnabar Island]]'s (later the [[Seafoam Islands]]') {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Cinnabar Gym]]. He hands out the {{Badge|Volcano}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He is a highly intelligent man who uses {{type2|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Blaine's title is "The Hotheaded Quiz Master." His strategy is to incinerate challengers with his rough and ready Fire-type Pokémon. To reach Blaine, challengers have to answer a series of quiz questions about Pokémon. Blaine only takes off his sunglasses when thinking up new quiz questions.

When he once got lost in a treacherous, freezing mountain range, he was guided out of the mountains by a {{p|Moltres}}. Apparently, this is what inspired him to train Fire-type Pokémon. Blaine is a native of [[Cinnabar Island]], and has lived there since before the [[Pokémon Lab]] was built. He is apparently on good terms with [[Mr. Fuji]].

In addition to the Volcano Badge, Blaine gives out {{TM|38|Fire Blast}} in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed, and LeafGreen|s}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} he gives out {{TM|50|Overheat}}.

In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and their [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|remakes]], the volcano on Cinnabar Island erupted, destroying the town, and leaving Blaine and his Pokémon homeless. Blaine relocated his Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]], and remains there a whole year after the volcanic eruption back on Cinnabar. He plans to rebuild his gym one day.

He is able to be rebattled in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after collecting his number at any time on Tuesday. He is found on [[Cinnabar Island]]. A call to him on Tuesday afternoon will arrange a rematch. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Blaine has added Gym Trainers and a puzzle to the gym, unlike in Gold and Silver where Blaine stood alone in a small room.

==In the anime==
[[File:Blaine anime.png|thumb|220px|left|Blaine in the anime]]
Blaine appeared in the episodes ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' and ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''.

Blaine ran the Cinnabar Island Gym until the island started to become crowded with tourists. Instead of serious challengers, the Cinnabar Island [[Pokémon Center]] started to fill up with freeloading vacationers. Fed up with this, Blaine closed the Gym and opened up a hotel near the island's volcanic hot springs, disguising himself with a wig, a fake mustache and sunglasses. He also disguised his voice to be softer and lower pitched than normal. Blaine likes to make up riddles even in inappropriate situations.

When {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} met Blaine, he told them several riddles. Misty deciphered the riddles and eventually the trio found Blaine's hotel, and underneath the hotel in a volcanic cavern was the Cinnabar Island Gym. Ash challenged Blaine to a Gym match, but was easily defeated. After the battle, {{TRT}} attempted to steal Blaine's {{p|Magmar}} by freezing it with guns that projected beams of ice. Magmar broke free in the end; however, the sudden cooling of the walls in the lava cave caused the rock to begin to crack, indicating that the Cinnabar Island volcano was going to erupt.

Ash, Blaine, Misty, and Brock used their {{t|Water}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to dam the cracks in the walls with boulders. During the emergency, Ash's {{AP|Charizard}} and Blaine's {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} gained an interest in the other's strength, each wishing to test it in battle. Blaine agreed to a rematch with Ash; due to the internal damage of the volcano, it was held on the volcano's crater. At first, Magmar and Charizard were evenly matched, but Charizard's ability to fly gave it an advantage. It lifted Magmar high into the air and used {{m|Seismic Toss}}, slamming Magmar into the volcano. The Spitfire Pokémon was knocked out, and Blaine was defeated.

|desc={{p|Ninetales}} was Blaine's first Pokémon used in his battle with Ash. Despite its beautiful looks, Ninetales proved to be an incredibly powerful Pokémon, knocking out [[Ash's Squirtle]] with a single attack. Ninetales was recalled when Ash sent out his Charizard.

Ninetales's only known move is {{m|Fire Spin}}.}}

Blaine doubted the Electric-type could defeat Rhydon, but Ash encouraged Pikachu to use Rhydon's horn as a conductor of electricity that eventually caused its defeat. This battle sparked a now well-known Internet meme in the Pokémon fandom, as Rhydon is usually immune to Electric-type attacks.

Rhydon was seen again in a flashback in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', where it was defeated in a Gym battle by [[Otoshi]]'s {{p|Marowak}}.

Rhydon's known moves are {{m|Horn Drill}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}.}}

After the battlefield was wrecked due to Team Rocket's influence, Magmar and Ash's Charizard ended up gaining a respect for each other and wanted to test their strengths against one another. This was done in Ash's rematch with Blaine on top of Cinnabar's volcano. However, despite Magmar's powerful attacks including {{m|Fire Blast}}, Charizard managed to come out on top.}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Erika Blaine Adventures.png|300px|thumb|right|Blaine and Erika]]
Blaine was a former member of [[Team Rocket]], joining because of his interest in science and conducting experiments on some of {{adv|Red}}'s future Pokémon, namely {{p|Gyarados}} and {{p|Eevee}}. He was first seen (albeit without a speaking role), studying and generating {{Adv|Mewtwo}} under the [[Rocket Game Corner]]. But after hearing of Red's clashes with Team Rocket, like protecting {{p|Mew}} from them, Blaine left, attempting to make up for his evil deeds. When Red reached Cinnabar Island, Blaine was under attack by members of Team Rocket and their newly captured {{p|Moltres}}, on loan from [[Sabrina]].

Blaine had his Rapidash carry Red to his Pokémon Lab, while Red let Blaine use his Gyarados to hold off Moltres in return. At the Pokémon Lab, Red was able to revive an {{p|Aerodactyl}} from a [[fossil]]. Aerodactyl helped rescue Blaine and defeat Moltres.

Later, Blaine asked Red to help him in [[Cerulean Cave]]. While he was working under Team Rocket, Blaine combined some of Mew's DNA with his own to create a hybrid Pokémon named {{Adv|Mewtwo}}. Some of Blaine's hand was infected with Mewtwo's DNA, and thus he was able to track the synthetic Pokémon. Because of this, Team Rocket attempted to abduct Blaine to review Mewtwo's whereabouts. Using the [[Master Ball]], Red was able to capture Mewtwo for Blaine after Blaine tried and was seriously injured in the process. This is when Blaine revealed why he quit Team Rocket. He saw Red's compassion for Pokémon in the Rocket Game Corner and it made Blaine realize that he created two monsters, Mewtwo and himself. He then decided that he didn't care what Team Rocket would do to him, but rather that he needed to catch Mewtwo and help it. It was then suggested by Red that he needed to show Mewtwo compassion because all that it knew about humans was cruelty and arrogance.

The psychic bond between Mewtwo and Blaine limited them both. If they were apart for too long, both would begin to become ill. Blaine worked for several years trying to find a way to sever the bond without hurting either of them. He then appeared during the {{chap|Yellow}} as one of the "Good" Gym Leaders of Kanto. After {{tc|Super Nerd}} Miles was defeated, he used Growlithe's [[Odor Sleuth]] and deduced that Red must have been at [[Mt. Moon]]. When Miles was being lifted away by [[Agatha]] and her {{p|Gastly}} Blaine tried to use Growlithe's Fire Blast to knock it out, only for it to almost kill a Caterpie had Yellow not saved it.

He was then seen back on Cinnabar Island training with {{tc|Camper}} Ivan using Mewtwo to practice their connection using a disguise. Yellow then finds out that it was Blaine and that he was simply wearing a disguise because he didn't know who was watching. He then hears a message from [[Brock]] reporting that he found an ice sculpture of {{adv|Red}} in [[Mt. Moon]]. He then travels to Cerise Island with Yellow (albeit by different routes) and Mewtwo, revealing that that was what they were training for. He then runs into Blue and sees several Pokémon, believing them to belong to the Elite Four, but actually belonging to [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]].

During the [[Cerise Island]] incident, [[Sabrina]]'s [[Spoons of Destiny]] paired Blaine and {{adv|Yellow}} together in the fight against the [[Elite Four]]. They intruded on Lt. Surge and Bill's battle with Bruno. They were blocked out by a strange barrier, however, and were kept out since Bruno did not wish for anyone to interfere with their battle. Together, they confronted [[Lance]]. However, the bond between Mewtwo and Blaine proved to be their undoing, and they were defeated, leaving Yellow to face Lance alone.

Later, during the [[Masked Man]]'s plot in [[Johto]], {{p|Entei}} chose Blaine to be its partner. The healing power of Entei's flames was finally able to cut the link between Mewtwo and Blaine, and the two were free to live their lives apart from each other. Yet, Blaine's corroding hand still served as a reminder of his past with Mewtwo, as demonstrated in the {{chap|FireRed and LeafGreen}} when Mewtwo was facing off against {{p|Deoxys}}.

Although he's serious for most situations, he also had his comical moments. Blaine had his mustache burnt when he was training and had to use fake ones. Sometimes, he may also use riddles to lighten up dark atmosphere.

|desc={{p|Mewtwo}} was created by Blaine in a Team Rocket hideout using a small sample of {{p|Mew}}'s DNA and Blaine's own. After it was fully cultivated in the [[Pokémon Lab]] on Cinnabar Island, it went berserk and demolished the place before settling in the [[Cerulean Cave]] (where it wreaked havoc in the northwestern sector of [[Cerulean City]]). Eventually, Red caught word of it and reached the cave out of curiosity before nearly being killed in its {{m|Psywave|psychic tornado}}. Blaine made a valiant attempt to kill it at all costs, knowing that if he, the only one with the ability to function as a "Mewtwo Radar" was defeated, the world could come to an end. Although this succeeded in eliminating its tornado, the mutant itself still survived, only to be caught with a Master Ball that was thrown by Red in an ingenious maneuver. Mewtwo then went on to be a trained Pokémon belonging to Blaine and fought against [[Lance]] in the {{chap|Yellow}}, though Blaine's failing health held it back from winning. After it was released a year later, it partnered up with Red much later on to free {{Adv|Deoxys}} from [[Giovanni]]'s hands.}}

In return, it offered its help in erasing the painful genetic connection between him and Mewtwo, allowing it to finally be freed. After Blaine, [[Misty]], and [[Lt. Surge]] had been injured fighting the [[Masked Man]] in the [[Indigo Plateau]], it was partnered up with {{Adv|Silver}} instead, and went back to the wild after the villain was defeated.

Entei's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}.}}



===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===

Blaine appears in ''[[PZ08|Cinnabar Island]]''. He tells Satoshi about his gym on Cinnabar. Satoshi meets up with him and they have a battle. Blaine uses Arcanine and Satoshi uses Charmeleon which results in Satoshi winning the battle. As a result, his Charmeleon starts to evolve into a Charizard. Blaine explains that he was in Seafoam Islands and his Fire Pokémon were hurt. While he was there, he remembers seeing Articuno fly away. Blaine uses his Charizard to capture the Articuno that has been flying around the island.

==Trivia==
* Although {{p|Magmar}} appears as Blaine's signature Pokémon in the anime, he only has one in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with it not even appearing in his Gym team in Yellow (which went as far as giving Lt. Surge ''only'' Raichu to mimic the anime).
** This may be due to the fact that ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'' aired only a month prior to the release of {{game|Yellow}}, by which point Yellow was likely in the final stages of production.
** This is somewhat circumvented in HeartGold and SoulSilver where in the first match he has a Magmar and in the rematch he has a {{p|Magmortar}} as his signature Pokémon.
* Despite the {{p|Arcanine}} evolutionary line being his signature Pokémon in Generation I and III, Arcanine is no longer in his party in Generation II and its remakes.
* Even when the player battles Blaine in a rematch, he still references his "Cave Gym" as if the battle's taking place there.
* He is the only Gym Leader that battles outside a building for their first battle.
* Blaine is the only Gym Leader to have a Gym in two different locations.

===Design differences===
[[File:Blaine disguise anime.png|thumb|220px|right|Blaine's anime disguise]]
Blaine has two separate character designs. The first one is from early Sugimori artwork for [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. He is depicted as a bald man with light red hair to the back and side of his head, with no mustache and no sunglasses wearing beach clothes. The old design was reused in the {{pkmn|anime}} (as Blaine's real look) and very briefly in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga (as a disguise after his mustache was burned).

Later, in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]] and outside-Japan [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] the artwork was revised and he started to be depicted as an older man with a mustache, and no hair on his head, wearing sunglasses and labcoat. Despite the artwork changes, his new design was used in ''all'' Generation I main series games, including the [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]]. This means that Blaine's design was probably changed very late in the production of Red and Green, since his official artwork and his in-game sprite are completely different portrayals.

The reasons for changing the design is unknown; however, the [[Fame Checker]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} explains why he doesn't always wear sunglasses: "Blaine is said to remove his dark shades only when he is thinking up new quiz questions."

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Blaine is shown wearing a hat. He wears more sophisticated clothing than his previous lab coat. He also sports a cane that resembles a question mark.

McDonald's Collection (TCG)

The '''McDonald's Collection''' (Japanese: '''コレクションシート旅立ちの仲間''' ''Collection Sheet Journey Partners'') are a collection of cards released in North American {{wp|McDonald's}} Happy Meals for a limited time in 2011, from June 17 to July 7. In Japan, the collection was the first BW era release of Pokémon trading cards.

==Information==
Originally, the Journey Partners Collection Sheets were themed around the three starters of the [[Generation V|fifth generation]]: {{TCG|Snivy}}, {{TCG|Tepig}}, and {{TCG|Oshawott}}; and each contained three cards. The nine total cards featured one from each type, and all the cards were holographic with artwork done by [[Ken Sugimori]]. However, when they were released in English, the collection added in three additional cards: {{p|Maractus}}, {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Audino}}, for a total of twelve cards. There were also 8 [[2011 McDonald's Promotional Pokémon Toys|toys]] that came with 1 card each, based on Pikachu, Oshawott, Tepig, Snivy, Zorua, Zoroark, Zekrom, and Reshiram.
===Trivia===
In the [[Pokémon in Canada|Canadian]] province of {{wp|Québec}}, the collection was only available in French, making it the only TCG collection in the province to be released as such (previous special promotional sets, such as the [[Pokémon Organized Play|POP]] series and [[Battle Road]] promos, had been in English). This was despite the fact that the cards were not translated into other European languages and were not released in European countries (including {{pmin|France}}) at that point.

== Unnamed cities, towns, and villages from the anime ==

I can make a page for each region ([[Kanto]], [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]) with a list of the nameless cities and towns featured in the [[Pokémon anime|anime]]. The pages show a list with an image from the episode, the featuring episode, the location (between so-and-so cities), and facts (such as festivals, events, history, leader, places of interest). Does [[Bulbapedia:Project Locations|Project Locations]] mind that?--[[User:Maximoss|Maximoss]] 15:47, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
:If anyone approves of this, I suggest going with "unnamed" rather than "nameless." [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 15:52, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

== The "Current Events" area on the Main Page ==

Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 23:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
:Sorry for the late reply, but this happened because we implemented a [[n:Category:Articles by user|new category system]] on Bulbanews, and a whole bunch of old articles were edited to fix capitalization (Immewnity to immewnity primarily). Due to the way Bulbanews works, the new articles hadn't been edited recently enough and were pushed off the list. We had to go around and make edits to the articles to get them back on this list. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:31, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Venn Search Feature ==

Hi, I'm Sasshen, I haven't been a member of the community really at all thusfar but I've been using the Bulbapedia wiki ever since I can remember, and I think that it would be a really cool idea to create a search engine within the wiki that can find Pokémon that match specific criteria; i.e., you could use the feature to find a Pokémon that learns both Fly AND is Fire-type, for example. The hits would all be pages which focus on Pokémon in the video games, and the fields could include Ability, Type, different Moves, etc. Anyways, it's just a suggestion, but this feature would make finding certain Pokémon to fill niches, a process that tends to take me some time... and several tabs XD.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sasshen
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}
:[http://veekun.com/dex/pokemon/search Veekun already has this], and I think the way Bulbapedia is structured would make it very, very hard to implement here. —[[User:Minimiscience|Minimiscience]] 23:33, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Oh, totally forgot about veekun there haha and thank you so much for the feedback :)
{{unsigned|Sasshen}}

== Share Buttons ==

I feel that bulbapedia should have share on facebook,twitter and +1 google buttons to make it more popular and allow people to easily share and suggest information to their friends and family.This will help Bulbapedia further expand, get more contributors and grow. {{unsigned|Pokepranav}}
:Yeah, our staff is working on that feature but it is still not done yet. So, it will take some more days. Thanks for your concern :) ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 17:36, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

== Mistake ==

There's a mistake with the main template used on Pokémon pages, for the Pokémon's egg cycle it says "x minimum steps" but it's actually the maximum number of steps. The whole time the game counts your steps up to 255 afterwhich it goes back to zero and an egg will need one less cycle before it hatches. So if you receive an egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle the egg will hatch 200 earlier than its number of egg cycles multiplied by 255. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 18:01, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:Actually, it is right to say minimum steps because whenever you receive or hatch an egg, all the other eggs in your party roll back to 0 on their current egg cycle. So if you recieve a second egg when you are 200 steps into the cycle, it will roll back over to 0 and you will end up having to walk 200 more steps than initially were required. [[User:PkmnChmp5|PkmnChmp5]] 19:55, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

==Wikirby==
The link to Wikirby on the NIWA directory is broken. It should link to http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Main_Page, but instead it links to the nonexistent http://www.wikirby.info/wiki/Kirby_Wiki. Could an admin please fix this? --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 18:34, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
:Fixed it. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''エイデ''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''ィニズ''']]♪♫ 19:03, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

So I remember that the reason why there was a ban on trivia because many people at one specific time (for whatever reason) kept placing senseless trivia, which somehow affected server load. Nowadays, I occasionally see some nice (I guess) trivia removed because of the rule - an action that may also affect the server. To my point, when will that ban be removed/modified? Trivia is like one of the few things Bulbapedia has over other sites, another being the anime. Many prefer Serebii for games since some data here (like movelists) may be incomplete at times. There's Pokébeach, I guess, for TCG. So... yeah, when will this rule be changed/removed? (when replying, please note I don't really have much of an idea on the technical side of things here, like how much the server is affected) [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26]] 04:20, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:trivia hasnt been allowed to encourage people to find other things to work on, not server load. with BW out, were still not 100% on that game, so people should be doing that, instead of trivia. occassional trivia is fine, but we cant let people go around and ONLY add trivia. its nonconstructive. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 06:00, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
::Now that makes more sense :) Though for me, you sort of imply a full ban of trivia with that thing above (with few exceptions being the likes of the things below episode articles).

== Categorization of Main Page ==

Hi everyone, I'm Rassilon of Old, a new editor but long time Pokemon fan. :P Anyway, I've been reading Bulbapedia for years now, and I've only just joined today. I'm also an experienced editor on Wikia.com, so I was having a quick look at [[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized Pages]], when I saw that [[Type]] was uncategorized, as well as [[Main Page]]! So I categorized [[Type]], but I thought I would bring up the catagorization of the Main Page with the community. I think it should either be in the [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia category]], or a new category, {{redlink|:Category:Index|Index}}, {{redlink|:Category:Browse|Browse}}, or {{redlink|:Category:Community|Community}} should be created. I think the categorization of the main page is essential, and that this change should be implemented on Bulbapedia. I look forward to your responses, and to working with you in the future! Kind regards, [[User:Rassilon of Old|'''Rassilon of Old''']] ([[User talk:Rassilon of Old|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Rassilon_of_Old|Contribs]]) 06:52, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
:Rule's always been that only the Main Page is uncategorized. But whatever the guy with the thing for magnets says. Also Wikia sucks. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 09:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

''(indent reset)'' So what category would you like to use then? [[:Category:Bulbapedia|Bulbapedia]]? It seems to be the most obvious choice, ''and'' it is suitable to the main page's subject.

== Adding Korean Pokémon Wiki Links? ==

I couldn't find any info on this so forgive me if I just didn't dig deep enough. Also, I couldn't think of a better place to post this than on the Main Page discussion, since it involves adding another language link to it (and the rest of the site for that matter).

Anyways, what's the Bulbapedia policy of adding links to another Pokémon wiki in another language, particularly a/the Korean Pokémon Wiki? I found one which is fairly extensive; they have 3700-someodd articles and it's fairly well organized and designed.
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/

Plus it seems like they know Bulbapedia exists, seeing as their articles are formatted similarly:
* http://ko.pokemon.wikia.com/wiki/이상해씨_(포켓몬)

However, I'm not sure what is first required to add Korean links to articles, similar to the Japanese, French, German, etc. links which already exist. Does Bulbapedia have to first be allied/affiliated with the Korean Pokémon wiki? Or is it sinply a matter of someone simply adding the links to all the articles? I'm also not sure if there is an even larger Korean Pokémon wiki, or if you already know about these guys and they're Bulbapedia's/Bulbagarden's "enemy" or something (or allied/affiliated with one).

Whatever the case may be, I really would like to see these links added to Bulbapedia; it'll certainly make searching for Korean articles that much easier for me (and others)! Thanks for your time! :) -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] 22:35, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The language links are only added for members of [[Encyclopædiæ Pokémonis]], a prerequisite of which is independence from wikia. This is due to wikia's general lack of care for the fanbases they are supposed to serve. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 01:12, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
::Agreed. Wikia doesn't even allow the use of independent domains as far as I know. And you're right '''''TTE''chidna''', WikiA sucks. '''—[[User:AlexTheRose|Alex]][[User_talk:AlexTheRose|The]][[Special:Contributions/AlexTheRose|Rose]]''' 03:50, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

== Mobile Site ==

Bulbapedia needs a mobile site. I view on my device all the time. Not an app but a site. e.g. M.bulbapedia.org ---- DrBrock
:Is it really necessary? No. It provides the same information, not more, not less. But that is my opinion. Yes, I do go on Bulbapedia through my iPhone almost all the time. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 00:53, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

:::I personally feel that while ''demand'' for a mobile site will increase in the coming years due to the increase in the numbers of tablets and smartphones being produced, the fact that smartphone screens are getting bigger and both smartphones and tablets are getting more powerful means that the ''need'' for one will decrease equally as rapidly as those devices become more capable of loading pages at a suitable rate.

== Pirated Games On eBay ==

Recently I did some eBay searching for [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] and no surprise here, most listings are pirated versions of the game coming from China or Taiwan. Same goes for other Pokémon games. What's even worse is that people that bought the pirated games are now selling them unaware of the fact. Sure eBay has guides on how to spot pirated from legitimate but either the guides have no images, have very low resolution images, or are from a different region (let's say you live in the USA and you see a legitimate European Pokémon game). I propose we create a special article that archives what each legitimate game cartridge looks like or put what a legitimate game cartridge looks like in each Pokémon game article for each region but in a high resolution image (450px in width should be enough for each Game Boy Advance cartridge for example). I am aware that [[Hack games]] article exists but I don't think that's enough. Correct me if I am wrong if something like this is already in place. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 23:18, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

:::@Truthseeker4449 How is my idea flawed? Common problems of pirated Pokémon games are the save feature either stops saving or doesn't work at all or the game stops functioning properly altogether. Also there are ways to test for an authentic cartridge. One example for a GBA game is if you look at the pins and tilt in such a way, if you see the Nintendo logo with or without the oval with a copyright to the left and an "AGB" code to the right, it's authentic. I don't see why having a detailed article would be a bad idea. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 08:54, 16 October 2011 (UTC)

::::::@Truthseeker4449 You are dead wrong. There are ways to tell if a game is pirated or not. Usually its the subtle details that determine the difference. Here's just several more examples that apply to all games. If there is American coverart and the game location is in China, it's probably a bootleg. Nintendo makes their labels nearly perfect. Pirated copies may have lopsidedness to them or things don't line up compared to the authentic counterparts. Nintendo changed there seal from "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality" to "Official Nintendo Seal" back in 2004 or something (just look at [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] for a comparison). I got a little more crazy about it [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=398669 here] and [http://support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=pbgt&action=display&thread=400866 here].

:::::::You ask "who's going to see?", the same question applies even if it was in the mainspace. How many sellers/re-sellers are going to come to Bulbapedia to check if their game is a bootleg? Beyond that, a page would be of no use to buyers since there's often no way to ''really'' tell you're bidding on a bootleg game until it arrives at your doorstep. And, Bulbapedia definitely can't go around saying things like "If the game is American and the seller's location is China, it's probably a bootleg." that's just asking for trouble. - [[User:Kogoro|'''Kogoro''']] '''-''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''Talk to me''']] - 23:15, 16 October 2011 (UTC)
::::::::@Kogoro Those sellers are just uninformed and most probably aren't gamers. Actually a page I am suggesting would be helpful to buyers because most eBay listings I've seen take a picture of the game cart. Some use stock images so it's a gamble. Plus if you suspect if you have a counterfeit of an item, you can file a dispute to hopefully get your money back. Sure the page will be unpopular at first but through featuring on the main page, word will get around, maybe even be featured on the first page of a search engine like Google or something. Although ideal, that may not happen exactly like that but more exposure means more informed people. When you say "asking for trouble", what do you mean? Of course in writing there is always a "draft" form before it becomes "final" with more approprate wording. Maybe instead of saying "if it is from China", say "look for games for sale in your region and not from a foreign country" or "Japan, North America, and Europe are where authentic licensed copys of Nintendo games come from". --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] 00:02, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

I noticed... From the start itself, each generation has introduced a feline-like Pokemon, all belonging to a two stage evolutionary line. ( Although when Sneasel was introduced, it didn't have an evolution prior to Generation IV, but it still counts, right?) This is what I've discovered: Meowth and Persian were introduced during Generation I, Sneasel was introduced during Generation II, Skitty and Delcatty were introduced too for Generation III. Glameow and Purugly belong to Generation IV (And this is where Sneasel qualifies, because Weavile is introduced.) and obviously Purrloin and Liepard were introduced during Generation V. Interesting isn't it? Just like the electric rodents ALSO introduced each generation. (Pikachu, Pichu, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, and Emolga) This is the same except it they are '''all''' under a 2 stage evolutionary line too.

:Magnemite was {{t|Electric}} in Gen I, and then they added {{t|Steel}} in Gen II. It was 3+ years between each game (it all depends on if you count the Jp or U.S. release) until top [[Pokémon Professor|professors]] figured it out.

== New Article for Battle things ==

Certain aspects of the game that have always confused me a bit are the phrases that appear during battle such as "'''But it failed'''", or "'''It doesn't affect __'''" (which I've discovered is actually different from "'''It didn't affect ___'''"). "'''But it missed'''" is simple enough, but there are other which I don't understand. I do not know the details personally, but I would find the info very useful, so I am requesting someone to create an article which explains what all of those things that appear in a battle actually mean.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 03:22, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:"But it failed" is usually the [[Status move|Non-damaging]] version of "But it missed", which can be either [[Physical move|Physical]] or [[Special move|Special]]. Not affecting a Pokémon refers to an immunity, for example {{type|Ground}}s are immune to {{type|Electric}} attacks, and so on. An immunity can also be based on an ability, such as a Pokémon with {{a|Insomnia}} will not be able to fall asleep.

::Thank you. That makes it much more clear :D However, whilst playing Crystal (the one I'm playing at the moment), I swear that sometimes, even if the pokemon is not immune to the move, it will still say "'''it didn't affect'''", and I don't know why... '''doesn't''' implies that is never affects it, but when it says '''didn't''' it sounds like it means the same thing at '''but it failed'''.--[[User:Coin945|Coin945]] 06:46, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
:::I think that "it didn't affect" would be used if a damaging move fails; for example, if a pokemon used Dream Eater while the target was not asleep.--[[User:Tk3141|tk3141]] 10:38, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Um, It says: Who's that Pokémon, but it's actually a character from the anime. So who made that? Geez. ★☆[[User:Togetic45|'''Toge''']][[User talk:Togetic45|'''tic''']][[Special:Contributions/Togetic45|'''45''']]☆★ 10:11, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

== Japanese Species Names ==

Is there a reason why the original Japanese species name is not included on each Pokémon's page? The original Japanese name of Pokémon, techniques, town descriptions, and Gym Leader titles are included, so why not species? [[User:Pokemega32|Pokemega32]] 15:11, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
:This information is better suited to the Japanese wiki. The others are included as information only on important individual names (thus being an interesting piece of trivia), and so having the original Japanese species names is a bit pointless, considering that this is an English wiki (species names aren't very important).--[[User:Chalkwriter|Chalk]][[User talk:Chalkwriter|writer]] 18:18, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
::'''@Pokemega32:''' We have a list of there Japanese species names [[Species|here]], they're not on the Pokémon pages because they've only been added recently. If you want to put forward a suggestion on how to add it to the template, you can do that [[Template talk:PokémonInfobox|here]].

== New Additon ==

Affiliates of Bulbapedia: '''eighteen''' independently-run wikis about Nintendo. This needs to be 19 now that F-Zero is part of NIWA. [[User:Volcronaperson|Volcronaperson]] 19:38, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

== Um... ==

Is it me, or has the featured content not been updated in a while? It's been showing repeats all week, and now it's claiming that P+NA was released today, when it was last week. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 12:50, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, nobody has updated it in a while. What we found was that it was just an unnecessary waste of time to update it every day. It got to a stage where really only {{u|Jo The Marten}} was writing them. Really, we're quite likely to remove it (but I don't know what we'll replace it with). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:55, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

== Uh........ ==

Is it just me, or is something wrong with the NIWA box? It says 20 wikis, but I only count nineteen, and I counted them like five times. [[User:Volcronaperson|Volcronaperson]] 20:15, 27 March 2012 (UTC)
:I count 20. I think you're probably missing the second Pikmin wiki. There are two on the same line there: [[Pikipedia]] and [[Pikmin Fanon]]. --[[User:Darth Zekrom|'''Darth''']] [[User talk:Darth Zekrom|'''Zekrom''']] 20:23, 27 March 2012 (UTC)

== Anatomy Vs. Physiology ==

I already mentioned this... but Physiology is very different from Anatomy... As I read some of the Physiology content, I must say it is wrong since it's just defining or describing the Pokemon's body parts or anatomical aspects.. if we will use physiology then we must define, describe their function. For example, in human physiology, each neurons has a space between them called synapse where the acethylcholine, and some electrolytes floats around waiting for depolarization effect. That is just an example of Physiology, so in terms of Anatomy, Bulbapedia is already using it so I'm suggesting we change Physiology to Anatomy... THANK YOU... I'm a Nurse by the way...--[[User:Gaspershut|''GASPER'']][[User talk:Gaspershut|''shut...'']] 14:19, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

== Header Image ==

This may sound very poor and unreasonable, but do tell me you're going to keep the R/G artwork as the header pic. The image provides a more interesting perspective than any GenV work.

*Its a part of the Aprils fools, it's over now....[[User:AquaMaster|AquaMaster]] 21:08, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

==NIWA==

I believe it's been this way for a while, but why is there no easily-accessible link to the main NIWA page in that navigation box thing at the bottom of the main page, just a link to the Bulbapedia article about NIWA? It's the same with the box on the said article; the bottom-right corner of the box at the bottom just loops to the Bulbapedia article. There is a link to NIWA at the end of the article, though. Just a little confused by all this...Maybe I'm missing something. [[User:CrimsonCerberus|CrimsonCerberus]] 22:22, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

== Vermilion City ==

At the moment the fourth bullet-point says the city made its "''sole anime debut''". That doesn't really make sense, I assume it should just be "''anime debut''"? [[User:Bulba-Bulba-Llamasaur|Bulba-Bulba-Llamasaur]] 10:11, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

==McDonalds==

I have noticed this has been used a lot, but McDonalds is incorrect because the business is called McDonald's (with an apostrophe).

McDonald's Collection (TCG)

The '''McDonald's Collection''' (Japanese: '''コレクションシート旅立ちの仲間''' ''Collection Sheet Journey Partners'') are a collection of cards released in North American McDonald's Happy Meals for a limited time in 2011, from June 17 to July 7. In Japan, the collection was the first BW era release of Pokémon trading cards.

==Information==
Originally, the Journey Partners Collection Sheets were themed around the three starters of the [[Generation V|fifth generation]]: {{TCG|Snivy}}, {{TCG|Tepig}}, and {{TCG|Oshawott}}; and each contained three cards. The nine total cards featured one from each type, and all the cards were holographic with artwork done by [[Ken Sugimori]]. However, when they were released in English, the collection added in three additional cards: {{p|Maractus}}, {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Audino}}, for a total of twelve cards. There were also 8 [[2011 McDonald's Promotional Pokémon Toys|toys]] that came with 1 card each, based on Pikachu, Oshawott, Tepig, Snivy, Zorua, Zoroark, Zekrom, and Reshiram.
===Trivia===
In the [[Pokémon in Canada|Canadian]] province of {{wp|Québec}}, the collection was only available in French, making it the only TCG collection in the province to be released as such (previous special promotional sets, such as the [[Pokémon Organized Play|POP]] series and [[Battle Road]] promos, had been in English). This was despite the fact that the cards were not translated into other European languages and were not released in European countries (including {{pmin|France}}) at that point.

The '''McDonald's Collection''' (Japanese: '''コレクションシート旅立ちの仲間''' ''Collection Sheet Journey Partners'') are a collection of cards released in North American McDonald's Happy Meals for a limited time in 2011, from June 17 to July 7. In Japan, the collection was the first BW era release of Pokémon trading cards.

==Information==
Originally, the Journey Partners Collection Sheets were themed around the three starters of the [[Generation V|fifth generation]]: {{TCG|Snivy}}, {{TCG|Tepig}}, and {{TCG|Oshawott}}; and each contained three cards. The nine total cards featured one from each type, and all the cards were holographic with artwork done by [[Ken Sugimori]]. However, when they were released in English, the collection added in three additional cards: {{p|Maractus}}, {{p|Alomomola}}, and {{p|Audino}}, for a total of twelve cards. There were also 8 [[2011 McDonald's Promotional Pokémon Toys|toys]] that came with 1 card each, based on Pikachu, Oshawott, Tepig, Snivy, Zorua, Zoroark, Zekrom, and Reshiram.
===Trivia===
In the [[Pokémon in Canada|Canadian]] province of {{wp|Québec}}, the collection was only available in French, making it the only TCG collection in the province to be released as such (previous special promotional sets, such as the [[Pokémon Organized Play|POP]] series and [[Battle Road]] promos, had been in English). This was despite the fact that the cards were not translated into other European languages and were not released in European countries (including {{pmin|France}}) at that point.
